The surface of the river is as flat as a mirror, with only the waves stirred up by the boat rolling like clouds. The width of the river is only about one to two kilometers, which is of course not as wide and boundless as the sea, but it still makes me feel that it is broad and tolerant.
I stretched my head out of the cabin and let the river breeze caress my face. Gazing into the distance, I could only see the green mountains, the dense willow trees on the shore, and the crystal clear water. Only at this moment did I truly appreciate what beautiful mountains and clear waters are.
Beautiful view.
On the way, the speedboat docked at a shallow beach, which was requested by Zeng Yufang. It was a beautiful beach.
In fact, it was said to be a beach, but in fact it should be a river pebble beach. After the boat docked, Zeng Yufang ran down happily. Minister Dou seemed to be infected by her emotion, and he immediately jumped off the boat. Then
It's Director Sun and us.
Zeng Yufang had already taken off her shoes and immediately went barefoot into the river. She jumped there happily and laughed like a child. I was very surprised because I didn't expect that she had such a lively and unrestrained side.
Maybe her inner world is too depressed on weekdays, so she hopes to be released at this moment. I thought to myself.
I also went to the river, stretched out my hand to test the temperature of the river, and immediately felt cool. I immediately said loudly to Zeng Yufang, who was jumping happily in the river: "Hey! Come up quickly. The water is too hot."
It’s cold, you’ll get sick if you stay in there for too long. Did you hear that?”
She was startled for a moment, then looked at me. I noticed that her face turned red, and then I saw her coming up from the river to the shore.
Director Dou and Director Sun were looking for something among the pebbles on the shore. I went to them and asked, "Director Dou, what are you looking for?"
Director Sun smiled and picked up a pebble and said to me: "Look at this thing, each piece has its own characteristics. They have different shapes, colors, and patterns. They are so beautiful."
Minister Dou was also very interested. He suddenly cheered, and then he picked up a large and round stone from the pebbles on the river beach, "Xiao Feng, come and take a look."
I hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and was suddenly surprised, "Wow! It's so beautiful!"
This stone is indeed beautiful, and what is extremely surprising is that this large white pebble has a pattern composed of black thin lines. I took a closer look and found that the pattern seemed to be like a word, "Minister Dou, you
Look, isn’t this your last name? What a coincidence and amazing! Look, it’s really the word ‘Dou’.”
I'm right, the curved black lines on this stone form the shape of the word "Dou". Although the word "Dou" is not so regular, its shape can be vaguely seen.
Director Sun also saw it, and he said: "Director Dou, it seems that you have come to Jiangnan Province at the right time. You must take this thing back, wash it, apply a layer of varnish, and put it in your study
It must be very beautiful inside.”
Zeng Yufang also ran over. She took one look at the stone and immediately exclaimed: "Yes, it's so magical."
Minister Dou immediately raised his head and laughed.
I immediately said to Director Liang: "Director Liang, you can find a way to find a shelf that can place this thing. It is best to use dark wood, and even better is golden nanmu. This thing is so beautiful, it must be put on something like that."
Just match it."
Minister Dou looked at me and smiled, "Xiao Feng, thank you."
At this moment, I knew that many of our things would be very easy to handle from now on. It seems that God has been helping me.
Then we got on the boat together. Director Liang moved the stone to the boat for Minister Dou.
I felt someone pull me gently, and turned around to see it was Zeng Yufang. She said to me softly: "You still care about me, right?"
I find that sometimes I really don't understand women's thoughts. For example, this Zeng Yufang, I simply can't understand why she suddenly came to ask me such a question.
Does she really have no sense of shame?
I smiled lightly at her and said, "I don't want you to get sick."
In fact, I wanted to tell her: I was only caring about her from the perspective of a doctor.
She smiled brightly at me and said, "Thank you."
I couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly in my heart.
I have been controlling the time this afternoon because there will be new guests coming to our Jiangnan Province today. I asked Minister Dou before he got on the speedboat. I asked him if he would attend the reception dinner for the university leaders tonight.
He shook his head and said: "I don't want to go today. Let's meet everyone at the meeting tomorrow. By the way, Xiao Feng, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow afternoon. I may still come to this national admissions conference."
I asked, "Can you just stay for two more days? Is that okay? It's your first time to come to Jiangnan, and you haven't been to many places yet."
He shook his head and said: "It's best to leave some regrets."
In fact, my attempt to persuade him to stay just now was just a kind of hypocrisy, but it was very necessary. I would do this even for ordinary guests. This is the most basic way of hospitality. I can't just say:
Okay, you should go back quickly.
To be honest, I have long hoped in my heart that he would go back soon, but tomorrow’s meeting requires him to show up and say a few words. Of course, his speech will be very important, because he himself represents the country’s recruitment
attitudes and policies.
It's really hard for me to accompany him these days. Such reception is simply not a job for human beings. Now that I heard that he will go back tomorrow afternoon, I can't help but feel happy in my heart - such a hard life has finally come to an end.
It’s a paragraph.
I immediately said: "If you have decided to go back tomorrow afternoon, I will immediately ask the office to book air tickets for you and Director Sun. You are a big leader and your work is very busy. I may not be able to keep you here. You can tell me
Yes, it is best to leave some regrets. Let's do this. We will make good arrangements for you next time you come. Sorry, Minister Dou, we did not make good arrangements for you this time when you came to our Jiangnan Province. Please be kind
Please forgive me for criticizing."
He smiled and said: "It's very good. Your arrangements are so thoughtful. Thank you, Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng, although you are young, you are very safe in doing things. Our country also needs talents like you in recruitment."
I was immediately startled by his words, "Minister Dou, I don't dare to climb high. You are a state agency, and my level cannot adapt to it."
I suddenly became worried, because I know one thing: no matter where you go to work, you must have connections. And my connections, my roots are here, in Jiangnan Province.
My concerns are certainly justified.
In today's officialdom, the so-called youth or ability are very abstract and one-sided things. Age and ability are important in the process of job promotion, but that is just a need. In other words, if the organization wants to promote someone
, such conditions are needed to show their importance. If the organization has no intention of promoting a person at all, it is likely to regard the person's youth as lack of experience and underestimate his ability.
Consider it an act of impulsiveness.
Without Lin Yu and Governor Huang, I, Feng Xiao, would be nothing. I have a very clear understanding of this.
At this moment, I couldn't help but have to think about this question: Why did Minister Dou ask me to go to the National Education Commission? Is it because he was very satisfied with my arrangement this time? Or was his son telling him about Zhuang Qing?
When I go to Beijing to work, I can find a woman for him at the same time?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. You know, he and I have no special relationship at all. If I really went to work at the National Recruitment Office, wouldn’t I be in bad luck right away?
Therefore, my first thought was to politely refuse immediately. I thought to myself, if he really meant that, then I must make it clear immediately, and I must refuse firmly and immediately. (To be continued)
