At noon, the whole family had dinner together at a restaurant near the Binhe Community. He Jian and Shui Qin had to be there. The uncle's family also arrived. The younger brother Hannan was slovenly, had long hair, and looked absent-minded. He sat down and played.
Cell phone, not even calling me brother.
Liu Handong introduced his current situation, saying that he was transferred to Beijing to work, and would go abroad soon to serve as the Middle East correspondent for the Zhongyanhuang International Public Relations Department. When the uncle and his wife heard this, their ears perked up.
The uncle said: "Dongdong, you are now in a state-owned enterprise and have a promising future. Please help your brother. He has been depressed since he had a car accident last year. He also quit his job. He plays games and writes novels at home all day long. If this continues
How's that?"
The eldest aunt also said: "Yes, your uncle and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night. We are already 27 or 28 years old, and we don't have a job or a house. Who would want to marry him?"
Liu Hannan said without raising his head: "What are you worried about? When I become a great god, I will have whatever I want."
"Listen, I've been obsessed with thinking about becoming a god, publishing books, and filming TV shows all day long." The uncle was heartbroken, and it was obvious that there was nothing he could do about his son.
Liu Handong suddenly thought of Li Xin. This guy wanted to reconcile with him even though he had stomach bleeding despite drinking. If he asked him for help, it would not be a problem to arrange a job for Hannan. However, in this way, he would owe him a favor and he would have to reciprocate the favor.
, with my own personality, it’s really unbearable to deal with this kind of person, so I’d better think of another way.
"Well, let me think of a way and ask someone to arrange a job for Hannan." Liu Handong said.
The uncle and aunt were extremely happy: "Dongdong, you are still capable, much better than your brother. Hannan will be entirely taken care of by you from now on. Hannan, why don't you thank your brother."
Liu Hannan snorted and continued playing on his phone.
Liu Xiaoyong said: "Dongdong, at thirty, you have settled down. Let's get married before we go abroad."
Before Liu Handong could object, Ma Ling quit: "Grandpa, I haven't fully recovered from my burn. I can't wear a wedding dress. Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait a minute. If you don't rush for a while, you can come back often even if you go abroad." Shuiqin also spoke to her daughter-in-law who had never been married.
Liu Xiaoyong shook his head and said nothing more. The old man knew that his time was short, and he looked forward to having a grandson, but he also had to respect other people's ideas. He was not the kind of unreasonable elder, so he could only remain silent.
Liu Handong was still thinking about his brother's work. It happened that Mayor Zhou owed him a favor, so he might as well give it a try. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Secretary Xu's number. This was the number Xu Ning left for him last night, and he also specially
If you need any help, just ask.
The phone call went through, and Secretary Xu was very enthusiastic. This was because Zhou Wen had explained that Liu Handong was not an ordinary person. Not to mention his skills, his connections were also very useful. As a leader, he must make friends with several such people, which is very important to his career.
It's good to put aside all this. The last time Liu Fei sent someone to make a scandal about his style, it would have caused a catastrophe long ago if Liu Handong hadn't warned him.
Liu Handong directly raised the issue of arranging work for his younger brother. Secretary Xu said: "It may be difficult to get into the agency. The current staffing situation is tight and Mayor Zhou has also left Jiangbei. It is not easy to operate."
"Hannan, what unit do you want to join?" Liu Handong asked, covering the phone.
The uncle and his wife thought that they were so awesome that they could talk to whatever unit they wanted to join. Handong's skills were improving.
Hannan's eyes lit up: "I want to enter the Public Security Bureau."
Liu Handong said: "You have to think clearly. You will definitely not be able to make a formal establishment. Recruiting people is very hard and the money is not much."
Liu Hannan said: "I don't care about that, as long as I can work in the Public Security Bureau."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you." Liu Handong let go and said to Secretary Xu, "My brother wants to join the Public Security Bureau to gain prestige. It doesn't matter what the establishment is."
Xu Ning laughed loudly: "That's easy. The Municipal Bureau is recruiting clerical staff, computer operators, operators, etc. The salary is pretty good, more than two thousand a month. If he is willing, he can go to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow to find Sun Jihai and just call him.
It’s arranged.”
"Thank you." Liu Handong hung up the phone and said to his brother: "The arrangements have been made. The civilian position in the city bureau command center is more than two thousand a month. There is insurance and benefits. You can go to work tomorrow."
Liu Hannan was overjoyed. He was just an otaku who didn't understand the world. He was in a car accident last year. He was blackmailed a lot of money and his car was totaled. He just fantasized about being able to join the political and legal agencies and gain prestige. It would be easy to find a partner and at least his job would look respectable. Now
The dream came true, and it was solved with just a phone call from my cousin. Happiness came so fast that he had no time to accept it.
"Really? Are police uniforms issued? Do they have IDs? Are guns issued?" Liu Hannan asked a series of questions.
"Really, I'm looking for Zhou Wen's secretary. Although Mayor Zhou has been transferred, he still has a lot of resources in Jiangbei. You are a hired civilian police officer. It is somewhat similar to the special police I used to work, but there are differences.
There are probably no police uniforms, but there are uniforms, access cards, and guns, forget it." Liu Handong knew his business and patiently explained to him.
"That's okay." Liu Hannan was very happy. He was excited just thinking about being able to go to work at the Public Security Bureau every morning.
The uncle and his wife are also very happy. Their nephew has made great achievements and solved Hannan's work problem with just one sentence. It seems that in the future, they will have to curry favor with this nephew who has a bright future.
…
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Handong and Ma Ling returned to Omi. There were many things to do, and the exams alone were a headache. If they could pass the remaining courses this time, the undergraduate diploma and degree certificate that had been delayed for ten years would be
Now that he can get it, he has to face it seriously.
The biggest problem was lack of time. Liu Handong called his immediate boss to ask for leave. Zheng Jiayi not only approved his leave, but also told him that he also had a government-sponsored study assignment to study Arabic at Omi Institute of International Relations.
"This is a training class for public personnel. The semester is three months. The school provides board and lodging, and tuition is reimbursed. I wish you will come back soon." Zheng Jiayi said with a smile, "I guess you will have a headache during this period, it is all study and exams."
, it is really a kind of torture for a brave warrior like you."
Liu Handong did not tell Zheng Jiayi that he had been among the top three in the college entrance examination in Jiangbei City, a well-known academic master, and that he was quite talented in languages. The twists and turns of Arabic characters like earthworms were not a difficult and daunting road for him.
, but a mysterious treasure.
"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Ma Ling asked, "It seems to be a woman."
"Department leader." Liu Handong said perfunctorily.
"By the way, isn't Zheng Jiayi also in Zhongyanhuang? The financial department and your public relations department should be pretty close, right?" Ma Ling has a good memory. During the Chinese New Year, Zheng Jiayi mentioned that she had joined Zhongyanhuang's financial department. She
Remember it clearly.
"Zhongyanhuang is very big. The Finance Department has its own building in the Jianguomen area. The International Public Relations Department is a newly established department with only a few offices. It is located in the headquarters building, which is far away from Jianguomen." Liu Handong explained that he
He told the truth, but he concealed the fact that Zheng Jiayi had been transferred from the Finance Department to serve as the head of the Public Relations Department.
"I'm warning you, don't have close contact with anyone named Zheng," Ma Ling said.
A woman's sixth sense is so keen, Liu Handong secretly thought, but he said haha: "I know, people don't like me either."
"Just be sensible." Ma Ling's expression showed that she didn't quite believe Liu Handong.
The next day, Liu Handong reported to the Omi International Relations College. This university is affiliated with the General Staff and is an important base for cultivating various foreign language talents for the army, especially minor languages. There are army soldiers standing guard at the gate of the college, and valid certificates and letters of introduction are required to enter.
Enter.
Liu Handong didn't bring a letter of introduction, and even after a lot of talking, the sentry refused to let him in. He had no choice but to call Zheng Jiayi. After a while, a small electric car drove up on the wide campus avenue, and the rider was a bitch.
The young woman came to the door, pressed the brake, landed on one foot, and said to the sentry: "He is my student."
"Professor Shangguan." Liu Handong remembered this person. He had received psychological counseling from her at the Public Security Bureau a few years ago and even had her business card.
"He's an associate professor." Shangguan Jin corrected Liu Handong's mistake with a smile, signed his name in the sentinel's record book, and led Liu Handong into the campus.
Liu Handong participated in a comprehensive training class, which not only taught Arabic, but also taught Hebrew and Persian. It can basically be called a Semitic language training class. In addition, there were courses on folk customs and religions in the Middle East, as well as related psychological training. The students were all
They are expatriates from various units, including reporters from Xinhua News Agency, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, employees of state-owned enterprises, and students from the military itself.
These students will all be stationed in the Middle East in the near future. There is no harm in building a good relationship with each other. The students assigned them dormitories, issued access passes and canteen cards, and the instructors announced discipline. The training was closed and no one was allowed during the study period.
You have to ask for leave if you have something to do when you leave school. The courses are very tightly arranged. They start at seven in the morning, have a one-hour break at noon, and have classes in the afternoon until five o'clock. There are also intensive discussions in the evening. In short, it is a military management. Once you enter the school, you can't even think about leaving.
.
Liu Handong secretly complained, but now he was tricked by Zheng Jiayi. He had a lot of things to do. What should he do if he was locked up here? He decided to sneak away.
The trainees in the training class are the backbone of each unit's business and have strong discipline. People in the system are also accustomed to obeying orders and following instructions, because they know the consequences of disobeying orders, punishment, and not being promoted or reused. Whichever is more serious, they
Clearly distinguish.
The mobile phone in Liu Handong's pocket rang. It was a message from Wang Yaming, asking him to visit Li Xin in the hospital tomorrow.
"Students, please pay attention, turn off your mobile phones during class, don't let it happen again." The head teacher of the training class was a middle-aged soldier. His eyes glanced at Liu Handong with extremely sharp eyes.
Liu Handong set his phone to vibrate, and as soon as he put it back in his pocket, it buzzed again. This time it was a text message from Secretary Xu, asking if he had time to sit together.
"You, go out and run ten laps on the playground." The head teacher pointed at Liu Handong and shouted.
