Chapter Fifteen: Unspoken Rules

() Guo Lin has been very excited these days. She comes to the office early every day, and the first thing she does is go to the mail room to get the "Southern Mass Daily". But not only are the articles on the special page in the past three days not written by her,

The hundred-word header did not even contain a single sentence she wrote. Disappointed, she suspected that Su Baolin had done something wrong and did not send the header she had written. Today she brought "Southern" early as usual.

"People's Daily", carefully read the articles on the special page, but there was still no word from her. She couldn't help cursing Su Baolin secretly in her heart. She didn't believe that Deputy Secretary Jiang would care about such a trivial matter, let alone Xia

Qinghui deleted her words without mercy.

Guo Lin has been a pillar of the Peking Opera Troupe of Southern Province since she was eighteen years old. She played Li Tiemei in the Peking Opera "The Story of the Red Lantern" and is the well-deserved number one, while Xia Qing is the leader and branch secretary of the Peking Opera Troupe. The relationship between the two

Not only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also the ambiguity between the two of them that is known better by heaven and earth, which is what we call unspoken rules today. After crushing the "Gang of Four", Jiang Liqiu made a smooth comeback.

After becoming deputy secretary of the Southern Provincial Party Committee, Xia Qing, through his uncle's relationship, was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee as Director of the Third Division. Soon, Li Tiemei in "Red Lantern" was no longer ignored like the "Gang of Four".

Guo Lin had no choice but to turn to Xia Qing's connections for help, and was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and became Xia Qing's full-time vase again in three departments. Now she is twenty-five years old, in addition to singing a few lines of Peking Opera,

Nothing else has been accomplished. What's more, a high school student in her special era is not as good as a junior high school student in the third generation. She can only write a few critical sentences to respond to the situation. So she attaches great importance to joining the writing team of the provincial party committee this time.

I hope to leave a few paragraphs to be published in newspapers and periodicals to satisfy her ambitious mentality.

Wang Xiaobo also came earlier this day. Seeing Guo Lin's sense of loss after reading the newspaper, and understanding what was going on, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. He glanced at Su Baolin, who was cleaning at the side, and Su Baolin understood.

He nodded, picked up two thermos bottles and went out to open the water. Wang Xiaobo also quickly picked up the remaining two thermos bottles and followed him out.

Su Baolin's wife took her son to teach in the county. He was the only one in the provincial town with nothing to do, so he came to work early every day, wiping the table and sweeping the floor. He was a loyal person, and he also saw Guo Lin's sense of loss.

, it was very unpleasant. In the past few days, he had polished the first part of Guo Lin's writing and sent it to Director Xia for approval, but he was shot mercilessly every time. He had no choice but to ghostwrite it.

, there is no sense of accomplishment. The article cannot be named, and the two groups use the same pen name, so Su Baolin feels unable to help.

Wang Xiaobo followed a few steps and whispered to Su Baolin: "Chief Su, I vented my anger last time. I don't want to whet her appetite. What should I do? Please help me with some ideas."

"Ah, Xiao Wang, there's nothing I can do about it. Although I've polished the text she wrote, it's still not in the eyes of Director Xia. Yesterday, I even pointed out to Director Xia that it was Guo Lin.

I wrote, "Do you want to take care of her self-esteem? I don't want to be scolded by him and ask me whether my future or my self-esteem is more important?" Su Baolin said helplessly.

"Can we write it and publish it under her name?" Wang Xiaobo asked.

"No! This is the decision of the provincial party committee. You cannot break the rules." After Su Baolin flatly refused, he said in a lecturing tone: "Xiao Wang, when you enter the official career in the future, you must be careful not to break the rules because of your personal face.

Breaking the rules is a taboo in official circles."

"Oh, I understand, but think about Guo Lin like that, ah——." Wang Xiaobo shook his head helplessly.

Su Baolin also sighed: "Yes, this Guo Lin has also been brilliant. Her starring role of Li Tiemei was once very popular, so the feeling of loss now is even stronger."

Wang Xiaobo's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Has she really played the role of Li Tiemei? And she is also very famous?"

"Not bad, what's wrong?" Su Baolin asked strangely.

"We might as well talk about the rise and fall of eight model operas as she has starred in Li Tiemei, showing that the truth is not static. It must be tested through practice and the people's joys and sorrows. The people cannot be determined by the will of the chief.

Her preference. So she has to express it in her own name." Wang Xiaobo was a little excited.

Su Baolin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Ah, the genius Wang Xiaobo is really well-deserved, and the publicity effect will be better this way." He has been immersed in the propaganda front for more than ten years, and of course he understands that his own words are more convincing than purely theoretical articles.

Strength can impress people more and be more easily recognized by leaders.

Wang Xiaobo felt strange, what's wrong? Even the propaganda department knew about this nickname. But it was a trivial matter after all. He was still thinking about Guo Lin: "Chief Su, why don't you host a meeting later and decide on it?"

What's the tone of today's two articles?" He thought it would be more appropriate for this good man to do it, Su Baolin.

Of course Su Baolin understood Wang Xiaobo's intention, looked at him gratefully, nodded, and opened the water with Wang Xiaobo with a smile.

At half past eight, Su Baolin went over to discuss with Guo Lin, and the two teams had a regular meeting together. Guo Lin rolled her eyes at him because she had misunderstood him, and said angrily: "You are the leader, you said

It’s up to you.”

Su Baolin ignored her and called everyone together and said: "This morning our two teams have a short meeting together, mainly to study the themes of today's two articles. Before the meeting, Comrade Xiao Wang and I discussed

After a while, one is to continue to connect with the actual situation of our province and start a discussion on the standard of truth; the other is to consider that all theoretical articles are too common, whether to write an article in the name of an individual as if it is an experience. But this person must

To be somewhat famous, especially to be well-known among the people of this province, I think this person is right in front of me and far away in the distance——" At this point, he paused deliberately to make a fuss.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. We didn’t know who he was talking about, but in the end we all focused on him.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Su Baolin felt a little satisfied, so he pointed at Guo Lin with his finger and said: "This person is our Li Tiemei - Comrade Guo Lin."

Except for Wang Xiaobo, the comrades sitting here are all natives of the provincial capital. They already know the role of Li Tiemei in "The Story of the Red Lantern" played by Guo Lin. Everyone suddenly understood and nodded frequently:

"Yes, Xiao Guo, you were really famous back then."

“The song ‘I have countless cousins’ shocked the whole country.”

"That's right, very representative."

Amid everyone's discussion, Guo Lin blushed, but her heart was still sweet. It seemed that she had returned to the scene where she was the most powerful person on the stage. How beautiful she was at that time. Wherever she went, she was surrounded by a group of admirers.

, there were countless people asking for autographs. In order to write the two characters "Guo Lin" well, she even asked a calligrapher to design the cursive writing method for these two characters. It took her two months of study to get it right. Now she is Luo Lin.

Mao's phoenix turned into a chicken has no other merits in publicity except that the word "Guo Lin" is written very elegantly. Writing an article is not easy, so he stammered: "This - this is a discussion about the standard of truth."

What does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter? Just use your personal experience to explain that the people don't just need eight model plays. What they need is a lot of spiritual food in a variety of colors. The leadership's will cannot determine the truth that the people's spiritual needs are needed." Su Baolin said with a big hand.

Swing, throw to the ground with a sound.

"I - I -" Guo Lin wanted to say that I also understand this truth, but she couldn't write it down. However, a deputy section chief of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee couldn't write down her experience. In the end, she was too proud to speak out.

"Team leader, our group will discuss it after the meeting, set a tone, and give a few outlines. It shouldn't be a problem to write it out at your level." Wang Xiaobo came to her rescue in time.

At this point, Guo Lin finally understood that Section Chief Su and Xiao Wang were doing everything possible to help her. Thinking about her previous misunderstanding of Section Chief Su and her unfounded hatred for Xiao Wang, she felt really ashamed. Of course, she also understood the reason for what she had written before.

Unable to publish, the problem still lies with Xia Qing. Think about it, I gave my body to him since I was 18 years old, knowing that he has a wife and still loving him sincerely, it is really selfless dedication. But when it comes to the big issue related to career

At that time, he really didn't recognize any of his relatives. It's rare to be so selfish. It's better that the old man and the young man helped her sincerely. He suddenly became sad, his eyes were red, and he couldn't cry without tears. He stood up and went to

boiling water.

Li Jianfeng also understood what he was doing. He looked at Wang Xiaobo and thought to himself, this Xiaowu is really loyal. It is not easy to help others to this extent. This idea is really wonderful. Only the genius Wang Xiaobo could come up with it.

It not only achieves the best publicity effect, but also helps people. It kills two birds with one stone.

So, after the meeting, the two chatted with Guo Lin for a while and asked a few questions. Then Wang Xiaobo started writing. Two hours later, it was done. In three thousand words, a famous person of that year was vividly portrayed.

It spoke affectionately about the practicality of truth and the dangers of leadership. Even Guo Lin felt that she had expressed her feelings after reading it, and she repeatedly said good things.

The next morning, as soon as Wang Xiaobo entered the office, Guo Lin excitedly ran to him with the newspaper and said: "Xiao Wang, thank you so much. My article has been published. Ah, I am so happy. Please come to me at noon."

You two have dinner together. You must go."

Wang Xiaobo smiled and said modestly: "You are a famous person, otherwise it would be difficult for us clever women to make a meal without straw."

Su Baolin also smiled and interjected: "So, you won't invite me? Yesterday, when I went to deliver the manuscript, Xia Chu looked at me suspiciously for a long time. At that time, I felt very scared. Fortunately, he said this later

Only when the idea turns out to be good, I feel relieved."

"Of course I'll invite you too," Guo Lin said with a smile.

"Why don't you see if Chu Xia is free and invite us together?" Su Baolin wanted to build a good relationship with Xia Qing, thinking that he would definitely go if Guo Lin called him, so he asked tentatively.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to such a heartless guy. Let's go. If we lose, we won't complain!" Guo Lin was also outspoken. In fact, she knew that Xia Qing was very small-minded, so let him go with him.

Go ahead, if you don't do it well, you'll end up in trouble. It's better to do less than to do more.

Wang Xiaobo knew that Guo Lin had a problem with Director Xia. From her words, it could be seen that the relationship between the two was unusual. However, Director Xia could not be troubled by the personal relationship between his children and did not give Guo Lin any face.

It was a further step in his official career, and his persistence was indeed extraordinary. At this point, he also realized the third experience in officialdom from Director Xia and Guo Lin: in officialdom, what is pursued is maximization of interests, and there are no permanent friends.

There are no eternal enemies.

At noon, the four of them were preparing to have dinner. Deputy Secretary Jiang, accompanied by Director Xia, came to their office and expressed condolences to them for their work during this period, and especially praised Guo Lin's article yesterday. Jiang

The deputy secretary still held Guo Lin's hand tightly, and patted the back of her hand rhythmically with the other hand, asking questions, which made Guo Lin very embarrassed. In the midst of the excitement, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee

Gao Cambridge also ran in and conveyed the instructions of Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Moran. He also affirmed Guo Lin's article in yesterday's "Southern Mass Daily" and hoped that they would continue their efforts to do a good job in the second phase of the truth standard propaganda work.

Xia Qing then announced that the first phase of the propaganda work had been successfully concluded. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Deputy Secretary Jiang personally presided over the second phase mobilization meeting and arranged the second phase of work. I hope everyone will eat quickly and not be late.

Wang Xiaobo believed that the mission of the writing team of the Provincial Party Committee had been completed, and it was both emotionally and logically inappropriate for him to stay in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He took the initiative and said to Deputy Secretary Jiang: "Secretary Jiang, I stayed here originally to write. Since

The task is completed, I will resign and return to school."

Deputy Secretary Jiang thought for a while and said: "Okay, young people still have to focus on their studies. Retreating here will delay your future. Let Jianfeng stay and continue to help."

So Wang Xiaobo said goodbye to these colleagues who had been working for nearly a week one by one, and cherished each other. This was the end of his mission as a writing team of the Provincial Party Committee. Of course, he also understood that Guo Lin's treat was in vain, so he wanted to go back to school directly.

As soon as she reached the first floor, Guo Lin chased him out and shouted: "Xiao Bo, wait a minute." She changed "Xiao Wang" to "Xiao Bo", which showed that she already regarded him as a confidant in her heart.

Wang Xiaobo stopped and looked at her: "Team leader, is there anything else?"

"Team Leader Lao Shizi, if you think highly of me, just call me sister." Guo Lin rolled her eyes at him angrily and said in a coy voice.

"Sister——, I'm so polite this time." Wang Xiaobo bowed to her jokingly.

Guo Lin was so happy that she ran to him, kissed him on the face, and said, "I will come to play with my sister often in the future." Then she ran back laughing.

Wang Xiaobo thought, this is great, two sisters have appeared out of thin air in his life, and they are both so beautiful. It seems that the main culprit is lucky this year? He shook his head helplessly, thinking about what happened to Xiaomei's construction bond acquisition? There are still ten thousand

Has Hongwei talked to Section Chief Ren? It seems that he will have to meet with them tonight.
