I stayed at Zhuang Qing's place for nearly two hours. (.om text only) I mainly applied heat compresses to her and also gave her some medicine. What I found a little strange was that she rarely spoke today.

During those nearly two hours, she snuggled in my arms, and we still watched TV together under the covers like that night. In fact, she didn’t watch TV at all, because her head was always on my side.

On the chest.

The hot towel on my hand was always on that part of her, and I would twist it again about every ten minutes and continue to apply heat to her. In the middle of the process, I tried to talk to her, because I felt that there was this silence between us.

I felt a little uncomfortable. But I was interrupted by her as soon as I finished speaking, "Feng Xiao, don't talk. I don't want to talk."

That's it, until I leave.[

When I left, I lifted the quilt and took a look at her lower body. I found that the redness and swelling there had eased, "Zhuang Qing, I'm leaving."

"Yeah." She only responded to me with one sentence.

After thinking about it, I said to her again: "Zhuang Qing, you have to take care of your body. You have worked as a nurse, so there are some things I don't need to say."

"Yeah." She still said the same word.

I sighed in my heart and left.

The next morning, the old director went to visit the director of the National Admissions Office. He took the gift with him.

Now I fully realize the importance of the office director. In fact, the reason is very simple. This time I came to Beijing to ask for help, and I am so unfamiliar with this place. So I can only go through the office link.

I went to contact the leadership above.

Someone has said that the office is the department that is most likely to attract attention and at the same time most easily ignored. Now I have a full understanding of this.

The old director came back after ten o'clock in the morning. He told me that Minister Dou had arranged to meet us tomorrow morning.

When I got the news, I immediately became excited. This incident already explained the problem: the matter was basically solved.

The old director smiled and said to me: "The gift we prepared is good, and the office director likes it very much."

I said to Director Liang: "Director Liang, your contribution is not small."

He also looked very happy, "This is all the result of your correct leadership, Director Feng."

I laughed "Haha", "Director Liang, why have you learned to flatter me like this?" Then I asked the old director: "When will the gifts from the deputy directors be delivered?"

The old director thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until Minister Dou meets with us tomorrow. Director Feng, what do you think?"

I shook my head and said: "Since these things have been bought, it is impossible to return them. Besides, we will have to contact the state recruitment office for many work-related matters in the future, so let's give them away first. Regardless of whether this matter can be handled.

Yes, they all need to be sent. What do you think?"

The old director smiled and said: "Director Feng, you decide. But I agree with your opinion. This approach is much more grand."

I immediately said to Director Liang: "Please ask your classmate, Director Wu, if he is back? We still need her help to send a car."

He replied: "It seems she is back. She accompanied Governor Huang to Beijing for a meeting. She arrived yesterday afternoon."[

I was suddenly pleasantly surprised: Governor Huang is here? If we are going to invite Minister Dou to dinner, wouldn’t it be best if he attends?

Of course, I was just thinking in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud, because now I'm not sure whether Minister Dou will agree to our invitation.

The whole afternoon and evening turned into a long wait.

During this period, I received several calls, first from Wu Shuang, "Director Feng, I have arranged the car you want. I heard that Minister Dou has arranged to meet you, so I would like to congratulate you in advance."

.”

Although I was a little disgusted with her, I had to thank her. Originally, I wanted to ask her what she had said to Zhuang Qing, but I gave up. Now that it has happened, let’s go again

Talking about this matter can easily lead to extraneous matters.

Then Qu Jin and Xu Ruhui called me respectively. The purpose of their calls was to thank me for the gift. I said it was a small thing, just a little thought from me.

In fact, I also know that it is just a courtesy for them to call me. For them, such things may not be taken seriously.

Xia Lan only called me late in the afternoon. Judging from the time the three of them called, Zhuang Qing should have handed over my gifts to them at noon today.

I immediately felt relieved because it also showed that Zhuang Qing's body had basically recovered.

"Thank you for your gift." Xia Lan said.

"You're welcome. We are all friends, just be careful." I have said this to Qu Jin and Xu Ruhui respectively, and I feel a little tired of it myself.

She asked me: "Are the things you gave me and the things you gave them the same?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood the meaning of her question. I hurriedly said: "I asked my men to bring this from Jiangnan. I didn't go back, so I didn't give it to you alone.

Get ready. Xia Lan, you are good friends. I will ask Zhuang Qing to hand it over to you as well. Wouldn't it be better this way?"

I said this to remind her that it is best not to let other people know about the things between us.

She said: "I didn't say anything wrong? I like your gift very much. Do you have anything to do tonight? Can we have a meal together?"

I said, "I have other arrangements for dinner tonight, and I have to go to the state to recruit people tomorrow. I'm very busy lately."

She then asked me: "Then, what happens after you finish eating?"

I said: "Xia Lan, it took a lot of effort to figure out the things on my side. Recently, I have to spend more time to deal with this matter. I hope you can understand."

Her voice immediately turned resentful, "You men are like this, you no longer cherish it when you get it."

I was a little tired of her behavior. But I could only speak to her properly, "Xia Lan, I'm really busy. Please understand."

She said: "Whatever you want. I know you are very busy."

When she said this, I felt a little guilty, "Well, I'll call you after I've almost finished the matter. Okay?"

Her voice still had that resentful tone, "Okay. But I don't know if I'll be in Beijing when you're free. I'm going to go out for location shooting in a few days."[

I immediately understood that she just wanted me to be with her tonight. I said, "Well, let's do it. I'll contact you after dinner tonight."

She immediately became happy, "Do you still remember where I live?"

I said: "Remember. I will come directly when the time comes."

Her voice immediately became gentle, "Feng Xiao, you are so kind. I will wait for you..."

I immediately hung up the call because I couldn't stand the temptation of her voice, and impulsively told her to go to her place right away.

I have to have dinner with my old director in the evening, because until now I still don’t have much certainty about what will happen tomorrow. To be precise, I am too nervous.

When we had dinner with the old director in the evening, we still ordered a bottle of wine.

"Old director, what do you think the situation will be like tomorrow?" I couldn't help but ask him this question again.

He laughed "haha", "Director Feng, it is meaningless for us to talk about such issues now. You will know when you go to see him tomorrow. You are the admissions director of our Jiangnan Province, and you represent the recruitment destination of our Jiangnan Province."

He reports on the work, so you must first use the way of reporting on the work to talk about the issues that really need to be done this time. In this case, the effect will be better. What do you think?"

I nodded, "Of course. I think so too."

The old director smiled and said: "Director Feng, let's talk about it after you see him tomorrow. Then you can see it based on the situation. I think since you can convince the leaders of our province, it shouldn't be difficult to convince him. Since he

I have decided to meet you, and this is the best opportunity. Haha! Director Feng, if I were you, I would not think about anything today, relax completely, and deal with everything tomorrow."

I was startled for a moment and then laughed, "Old Director, what you said makes sense. "Pure text first release"

Then I said to Director Liang: "You come with me tomorrow. After I come out of Director Dou's office, we will go together to give gifts to the deputy directors."

The old director said: "Isn't this good?"

I suddenly felt that this method was not very good, so I couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Old director, to be honest, I really don't know how to handle this matter. I really don't have much experience in this kind of thing.

After I arrived in Beijing for the first time, I realized that I was like a country bumpkin, and I felt at a loss! Old director, you mean to give these things to their office, and then ask the office director to hand them over, right?"

The old director nodded, "This is best. As long as our intentions are fulfilled."

I said: "But, I also want to take this opportunity to meet with several deputy directors."

The old director said: "The gifts have been received first, and then wouldn't it be best for you to talk to them? If there is a chance to have dinner together, we should talk about it together. What do you think?"

I nodded.

Although the old director has been giving me suggestions, he still cares about my face. But I think so because I really don’t understand some things. Although I used to be the director of an obstetrics and gynecology hospital,

At that time, the most superiors I came into contact with were just a few leaders in the Department of Health. To be precise, I officially entered the officialdom after I arrived at the Provincial Admissions Office, and I began to have contact with leaders and other personnel in the provincial government.

But now that I have arrived in Beijing, my shortcomings in this area have become immediately apparent.

I felt that what I lacked was not only a lack of experience, but also a lack of self-confidence. After arriving in a place like Beijing, I realized that an official of my level was nothing in the eyes of others.

In interpersonal communication, a person's self-confidence is very important. If there is no self-confidence, one will often become at a loss.

In front of the old director, I feel that I don’t have to hide anything. If you understand, you understand, and if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. I always ask for his opinion when I have something to do. This was originally the purpose of asking him to come to Beijing again. Now, I can only force

I walked forward by myself, so I think that as long as things can be done, this is the greatest honor.

The old director is right. It is meaningless for me to think too much about tomorrow's things now, because tomorrow's things are full of many unknowns, and I can't predict them at the moment.

Relaxing yourself and not thinking about anything for the time being may be the best way for me to deal with this matter at the moment.

After eating, I went back to the room and lingered for a while, then went out after taking a shower.

The weather in the north has changed a lot. It has only been a few days and the temperature outside is no longer so cold. However, the wind is still strong. Every time the wind blows, I always feel that the wind is mixed with sand, because I feel

It was difficult to open my eyes in the wind, and when I touched my face with my hands, I felt there was a thin layer of sand-like things.

From the perspective of livable conditions, this place is far behind our Jiangnan. At this moment in Jiangnan, it must be the season when birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. There will definitely be a light mist floating on the streets at this time, giving the buildings and pedestrians in the night a sense of wonder.
