After waiting for about half an hour, the phone on Ruan Jie's desk rang. After answering, she only said two words, "Okay." Then she put down the phone.
I hurriedly said to her: "Go and do your work and leave me alone."
She smiled and said to me: "Secretary Luo has finished the meeting and asked me to go to his office. Director Feng, please go with me."
I nodded and followed her out of her office door. On the way to Secretary Luo's office, I asked her, "Xiao Ruan, can I go to him directly like this?"
She answered me: "He just finished a meeting, and now is the most free time. He has finished talking about everything at the meeting. In the evening, he had another reception, and he must have asked me to ask how my arrangements were.
no big deal."
I secretly thought: So that's it. At the same time, I felt that she knew Secretary Luo so well, so I thought of her young and beautiful appearance, and my heart suddenly became dirty: Such a beautiful woman
When you are around a leader, it would be strange if nothing happens.
Of course she didn't know the dirty thoughts in my heart. She asked me with a smile: "Director Feng, you went to work on your first day today. How do you like it there?"
I smiled and replied: "It's okay. I'm in the stage of understanding the situation now. But I think I should report to Secretary Luo about my work. After all, this is what we should do as subordinates, right?"
She smiled and said: "Director Feng, it seems that you understand the rules of officialdom very well. I will have to learn more from you in the future."
I hurriedly said: "Don't say that. You are already very good. I should learn more from you in the future. You are the person next to the leader. If you have any information in the future, please inform me more. Please."
.”
She kept laughing, "No problem."
Secretary Luo's office is upstairs, near the bottom. This is an old-fashioned house with a wooden floor, which makes a "dong-dong" sound under your feet when you walk.
My office is also at the bottom of the floor. I suddenly felt that this arrangement made sense. On the one hand, I would not be disturbed. On the other hand, I could review the work of my subordinates during the process of entering and exiting: something suddenly occurred to me.
If so, just open the door and go in.
However, the building where Secretary Luo's office is located does look very bad, and the moss on the wall is faintly visible. However, there is a tall yellow horn tree outside the corner where his office is located, and its branches extend to the roof, like a
It completely covered his office like a parasol. I thought it must be very cool for him to work inside in the summer.
Ruan Jie knocked on the door and went in. I followed behind, and then I heard Ruan Jie saying to Secretary Luo: "Secretary Luo, Director Feng has come specially to report to you."
Secretary Luo was sitting behind his desk, wearing a pair of reading glasses and reading a document. After hearing Ruan Jie's words, he immediately raised his head, his eyes came out from the top of his reading glasses, and he also
The wrinkles on his forehead became more dense. He immediately took off his reading glasses and placed them on the desk. "Xiao Feng, come on, please sit down. Xiao Ruan, make a cup of tea for Director Feng."
I went to sit down and said to Ruan Jie: "Director Ruan, no need, I just had tea in your office." Then I went to Secretary Luo and said: "Secretary Luo, I will just say a few words and I will not affect you.
You do."
He smiled and said: "It's okay." Then he asked Ruan Jie: "Are you ready for the evening?"
Ruan Jie smiled and replied: "Everything is ready. But I think our gifts are of a low quality. You are in a meeting in the afternoon and I haven't had time to ask you for permission on this matter."
Secretary Luo said: "That's true. After all, they are directors from the State Education Commission. The hardest to receive are the directors. They are neither high nor low. It is not appropriate for the provincial leaders to come forward to receive them. This gift is not suitable.
It’s hard to prepare. Just give me a red envelope. If you give it too much, it will be conspicuous, but if you don’t have enough, you won’t be able to use it. The main reason is that we don’t have any special local products in Jiangnan Province, which is really troublesome.”
At this time, I couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Ruan, what gift did you prepare?"
Because they were talking about this in front of me, I thought it was okay to ask in passing. After all, we are members of a large organization.
Ruan Jie replied: "It is the best tea in our Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan Xiuya. In fact, the taste of the tea is not bad, but the packaging is a bit bad. In addition, it also comes with a set of tea sets, which are also produced in our Jiangnan Province.
It costs several thousand yuan in total. But I always feel that the quality is a bit low."
I said: "Oh."
Originally, I suddenly thought of the kind of gifts commonly used by the provincial government, but a question suddenly came to my mind: Why did Ruan Jie suddenly talk about this issue? You must know that she is the director of the office, so it is not necessarily true that she has it.
It’s hard to say what kind of special relationship it is, and I want to take the opportunity to exchange gifts from the company. Therefore, I won’t say more about it immediately.
But Secretary Luo came to ask me: "Xiao Feng, please give us some ideas. What kind of gift do you think is good?"
I looked at Ruan Jie with a smile and said, "I don't have any ideas. Since Director Ruan is asking for your instructions, it means she already has an idea. Right Director Ruan?"
Ruan Jie glanced at me and immediately turned her attention to Secretary Luo, "I don't have any specific ideas. But Secretary Luo, our Provincial Education Committee's gift has been this thing for so many years, I think it should be changed."
Yes, after all, times have changed. Nowadays, people are pursuing more and more tasteful things. We are a provincial department, and the gifts are too poor to get rid of. It is not a matter of price. If the same price, but the taste is different,
The grade is much higher, why don’t we use it?”
Secretary Luo nodded and said: "It makes sense. Xiao Ruan, tell me, what kind of gift do you think we should change to in the future?"
Ruan Jie said: "I heard that the provincial government's gift is the work of a young painter from our Jiangnan Academy of Fine Arts. This young painter is still somewhat famous in the country. His paintings are not expensive at present. One painting is just
At more than three thousand yuan, I think this thing is very good. What do you think?"
Secretary Luo smiled and said: "The gifts from the provincial government are definitely good, but can that painter paint so many works? The provincial government sends out a lot of gifts every year, and our provincial education committee also gets thousands of gifts every year.
Bar?"
Ruan Jie said with a smile: "I'm not talking about that young painter, but another one as famous as him. This painter also won a prize in a national art competition this year."
Secretary Luo said: "Okay, you can go ahead and do it. But I only have one request: the packaging should be more beautiful, and the packaging box should be signed by our Provincial Education Commission."
Ruan Jie smiled and said: "Okay. I will ask the painter to send a painting of his right away. You can take a look first. But this time the gift for the director should be the same one as before. After all, gifts are now in the market.
It was too late to print our company’s signature on the box.”
Secretary Luo said: "Bring it to me and let me see it."
Ruan Jie responded and went out. Before leaving, she smiled at me and said, "Director Feng, you and Secretary Luo will discuss things slowly. I'll go down first."
I nodded towards her, thinking secretly: What is the relationship between that young painter and her? A painting costs more than 3,000 yuan, and the Provincial Education Commission needs more than 1,000 gifts a year. If so, the young painter
The annual output value is more than three million. Maybe to those well-known painters, this is nothing, but to the so-called young painters, it is a huge fortune.
He has to paint more than a thousand works a year, with an average of at least three works a day. It is impossible for such a painter to paint any fine works. I think he paints Chinese paintings, because it is impossible to paint oil paintings so quickly.
Suddenly I thought of the bracelet on Ruan Jie's wrist, and I immediately felt that the office director of a provincial department was really not an ordinary position. Then I thought of Muzi Li's incident, and I was secretly worried for Ruan Jie in my heart.
After Ruan Jie left, I immediately went to Secretary Luo and said: "Secretary Luo, I am here to report to you. Today is my first day at the Provincial Recruitment Office. I first met with the two deputy directors to learn about the unit.
The basic situation, and then I talked with the heads of several major departments. Now, I have a preliminary understanding of my work. I am about to have a holiday for the Spring Festival, and I also want to take advantage of this period.
It’s time to think about work matters. In addition, I’m here specifically to ask for your instructions. Do you have any instructions regarding our work next year?”
Secretary Luo smiled at me and said: "Xiao Feng is good, he got into the role so quickly. I don't have any instructions, the recruitment work is very complicated, but there is only one main line, and that is the admissions work. The college entrance examination is an annual national selection
It is a major event for talents and ordinary people's children to enter higher education. What you need to do most now is to study some of the state's enrollment documents, master them, and thoroughly understand the policy things in them. Xiao Feng, I fully believe in your work ability.
Yes, but you are still very young after all, so be careful not to be impatient and aggressive at work. By the way, Director Leng may come back from Beijing tomorrow, so report more work-related matters to him in the future."
His words were principled and practical, and they also had the meaning of expelling guests. I hurriedly said: "Okay. I will definitely follow your instructions."
He said with a "hehe" smile: "Xiao Feng, don't be so polite. We are old friends. If you have any ideas, feel free to do it. If you have any difficulties, just come to me anytime."
So I took the opportunity and said: "Secretary Luo, are you not going out during the Spring Festival? I will come to wish you a happy New Year when I think of it."
He waved his hand to me hurriedly and said: "No need. We are old friends and have a superior-subordinate relationship. The relationship between gentlemen is as light as water. We who are engaged in education work do not need to engage in those formal things."
I suddenly felt embarrassed, "Secretary Luo, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to take the opportunity of the Spring Festival to go to your house to have a glass of wine and chat. Haha!"
Only then did he laugh, "That's it. Okay. Then come to my house on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Let's have a few drinks. By the way, Xiao Feng, I plan to treat Governor Huang to a meal before the end of the year.
You can also participate when the time comes."
I was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Secretary Luo."
He stopped talking, and I knew I should say goodbye now, "Well, Secretary Luo, you have some entertainment tonight, so I won't disturb you."
He nodded to me and said: "Xiao Feng, do your best. If you need anything, come to me anytime."
I thanked him again and immediately walked out of his office. After I left, I thought of one thing: Secretary Luo's office was terrible, even worse than the office I had in the hospital.
Yes, his office is less than twenty square meters, and it is very old inside, and his desk is also of an old style. I think: his office must be the worst among the top leaders of provincial departments.
Yes.
At this moment, I felt slightly uneasy: How could my office be better than his?
Suddenly, my heart moved: The watch Secretary Luo wore today seemed different from the one he wore last time... (To be continued)
