There is such a joke about careers. Several people gathered together, including businessmen, officials, and teachers, and they all talked about their high professional status. One of them looked inconspicuous and said: I am not bragging to everyone, my career is
I have so much status that no matter how old an official is when they see me, they have to nod and bow. I ask him to lower his head, but he doesn’t dare to raise his head. I ask him to raise his head, but he doesn’t dare to lower his head. Someone next to me asked: You are really awesome, please say yes.
What do you do? Someone smiled faintly: I am a barber.
After Fang Zhicheng came to Qiongjin, he always felt that he had lost something. When he got off work today, he happened to meet Cai Miao. She came close to him and reminded him in a low voice, "Director Fang, your hair is a little too long."
Only then did Fang Zhicheng realize that he hadn't had a haircut in a long time. Moreover, after coming to Qiongjin, he had never found a satisfactory barber shop.
Driving out of the provincial capital, he walked slowly along the street and saw several barber shops. When he was about to stop, he found that they were full of young people with fashionable hairstyles. Fang Zhicheng was still intimidated after all. If Fang Zhicheng is judged by his appearance, he is of the same age.
The biggest difference between people is probably one of them. Fang Zhicheng's hair is usually kept very short and without sideburns, giving people a very energetic feeling.
Fang Zhicheng thought for a while, then sat in the car and dialed Zhang Xiaoliang's phone number. Zhang Xiaoliang obeyed the call and said with a smile: "How about a haircut? I found a good place the day before yesterday. I will send you the address via text message later."
Zhang Xiaoliang hung up the phone. After waiting for a few minutes, his phone vibrated several times. Fang Zhicheng took a look at the address. It was not far from his current location, so he drove there according to the map.
To Fang Zhicheng's surprise, Zhang Xiaoliang introduced him to a barber shop with a very inconspicuous appearance and a very rustic name, "Lao Wang's Barber Shop". Seeing that there were not many customers inside, Fang Zhicheng got out of the car and walked in. A tall figure
The lean, middle-aged man, who was not tall, was waving a pair of silver scissors in a clattering manner.
"Boss, get a haircut." Fang Zhicheng smiled.
"Wait a moment." The barber glanced at Fang Zhicheng and continued to work on his hair.
Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that this barber had quite a personality, so he sat on the sofa and waited for a while, then picked up today's newspaper. To his surprise, the newspaper was marked with a black pen. Fang Zhicheng liked the new and disliked the old.
I found that the news that was checked out all have some connotations and are closely related to current affairs.
After about half an hour, the barber felt satisfied and patted the customer on the shoulder. The customer and the barber were acquaintances and left after saying a few words. The barber waved to Fang Zhicheng and asked him to sit down.
on the chair.
The barber shook the scissors, and before setting them down, he said: "It's strange, there are very few young people who come to my place, and they are usually regular customers."
Fang Zhicheng looked at himself in the mirror and said truthfully: "Because someone recommended this place to me."
The barber nodded and said, "Then let me guess, you must be working in an agency!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "You have some skills, why do you say that?"
The barber said: "The people who come to me for haircuts are all people in government jobs. Because I know how to get a decent haircut. Especially for a young man like you, it is definitely not a good idea to come to my place for a haircut."
I like the barbershop hairstyles that are popular now.”
Fang Zhicheng sighed: "Boss, you are really awesome."
The barber smiled and said: "No way, I have seen too many people. Because of the industry, I like to study people's hair styles. In fact, I can also trim those fashionable hair styles on the street, but I will not give them to customers.
Pruning, because I know that my customers are a fixed group. If I suddenly change my trimming style, not only will the customers be dissatisfied, but I will also lose my core advantage."
Fang Zhicheng did not expect that a barber would have so many skills in his mind. He smiled and said: "Boss, you are a smart person. Many people regard fashion as a trend, but you regard typicality as your core competitiveness."
The barber shook his head and said, "This also means that my shop will always be this big."
Nowadays, society is driven by the economy, and many things are developing towards commercialization. Take the hairdressing industry as an example. The same is true. The hairdressing and beauty industry has become a huge profit industry, mainly targeting young female groups. Most barbershops have set up various
The starting price of various packages reaches more than one hundred yuan. Even a complete set of haircut, care, and beauty services will cost thousands of yuan.
If a barber wants to make money, he must add more equipment and provide more services. However, Lao Wang's barber shop looks a bit shabby, with only a few scissors being all he owns.
However, it can be seen that the barber is very skilled in his craftsmanship. He did not ask me what hairstyle I wanted, and his scissors began to dance. Fang Zhicheng smiled and asked: "Why don't you ask me what style I want?"
The barber said: "Since you are sitting here, you have to trust my skills. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Fang Zhicheng showed a hint of helplessness and a bitter smile, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
The barber was very talkative. He was an authentic Qiongjin native who was very familiar with the current government situation. Listening to his comments about Li Siyuan, Bu Yiren, Wen Jinglong, and Wei Qun one by one, Fang Zhicheng not only thought secretly, but sometimes they actually let them
It is a good idea for these frontier officials to come and listen to the voices from the bottom.
For example, in the eyes of barbers, Li Siyuan is a provincial party committee secretary who is too powerful. He has stayed in Huainan for a long time and wants to do many things, but his actual political achievements are very few. As for Bu Yiren, he is a person who only follows behind Li Siyuan.
The provincial governor who puts up a show has never had his own opinions, causing the provincial government to become completely a vassal of the provincial party committee.
As for Wen Jinglong, he is a careerist. He turned Huainan into a whole with him as the core. The cohesion of party members is unprecedentedly strong, but he has not done anything related to people's livelihood. Wei Qun is also a power control
For officials who want to be very powerful, the battle between the provincial governor and the provincial party committee secretary will be the main theme in the coming period.
This is a typical old-school barber. They have a lot of experience. No matter who you are, they can always have a few words with you.
"Done!" The barber patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder, stared at Fang Zhicheng in the mirror, and looked again and again to check if there were any flaws.
Fang Zhicheng shook his face from side to side. Although it was slightly different from his ideal look, he looked at it carefully and found that he was still handsome and sunny.
After Fang Zhicheng paid the money, he found that Zhang Xiaoliang had arrived at some point. He smiled lightly and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaoliang scratched his head and said: "I was afraid that you would be cheated by the boss, so I came here to take a look."
After hearing this, the barber became unhappy and said: "Although my shop is small, it has been open for decades. Even the governor and the secretary of the provincial party committee have had their hair cut here, and no one has been cheated!"
"
Zhang Xiaoliang hurriedly walked over, stuffed a cigarette into the barber's mouth, said hello, "Boss Wang, don't be angry, I was just joking. Since I brought you business, please don't remember the faults of the villain."
"
Seeing that it was a good cigarette, the barber didn't refuse. He took a puff of the cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said, "That's all, I know you don't mean to ruin my reputation."
Fang Zhicheng and Zhang Xiaoliang walked out of the barber shop. He smiled and asked: "Why do you recommend this barber shop?"
Zhang Xiaoliang whispered: "Because Secretary Li used to like to get haircuts here. Although Secretary Li has gone to Yanjing now, but every twenty days or so, he will go to Yanjing specifically to give Secretary Li a haircut."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "No wonder this barber is so awesome."
Zhang Xiaoliang said with a smile: "I am used to meeting high officials, but when I meet ordinary people, my horizons are particularly high."
Fang Zhicheng patted Zhang Xiaoliang on the shoulder and said, "You probably didn't drive, right? Get in the car with me, I'll treat you to dinner, and let's chat by the way."
After finding a food stall, Zhang Xiaoliang stood up and ordered food and two bottles of beer from the boss. After the food was served, the two drank and chatted.
"Boss, do you know that Shang Yan has been in a bad state recently? She gets drunk almost every day." Zhang Xiaoliang said slowly after finishing two glasses of beer.
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and sighed: "Shang Yan, she is so stupid."
Zhang Xiaoliang patted the table gently and whispered: "Boss, why don't you just take him in? I'm really confused watching from the side."
Fang Zhicheng put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, even though you have a good impression of her, there are some people you will never touch. This has nothing to do with morality or external factors. It's just that there is a voice inside that makes you not want to
Go do that."
Fang Zhicheng's words were false, but Zhang Xiaoliang could understand the feeling Fang Zhicheng said, and said with a wry smile: "I feel sorry for Shang Yan, I don't know when she will come out of the shadows."
Fang Zhicheng calmly said with a hint of helplessness: "Even if you are at a loss, you will find the direction for the future one day. We can just sit by and watch quietly."
Zhang Xiaoliang nodded, took out a few pieces of tissue paper from the leather bag he carried with him, put them in Fang Zhicheng's hand, and said softly: "This is some information about Wang Xianbing and Cheng Chong. Wang Xianbing has been working in the Development Planning Department for many years. Although his work
There are no highlights, but there are no oversights. It’s just that there are some problems in his private life. Some people say that he likes gambling and spends money lavishly. As for Cheng Chong, this is a related household. He is related to Prime Minister Siyuan. The reason why they treat you
It's so bad, I guess it has something to do with Chen Ying."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said displeased: "I don't have any conflicts with her, right? Why is she targeting me?"
Zhang Xiaoliang sighed and said: "She left and you got in, it is inevitable that you will be mentally unbalanced."
Fang Zhicheng touched his chin and whispered: "You should have something to do, right?"
Zhang Xiaoliang smiled slyly and said: "Don't worry, I will send some information to the two of you in the next few years to ensure that they are obedient. By the way, do you want to send those information to the disciplinary inspection agency?"
This guy must have found something to do with the two of them. Fang Zhicheng still knew Zhang Xiaoliang's ability very well. Zhang Xiaoliang would not tell the specific reasons, and Fang Zhicheng would not ask. The two already had a good understanding.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary for now. Let's save Director Shen some trouble. Just give them a little warning."
