Then I went to see Ding Xiang and said, "Are you going? It was the call from the classmate I just mentioned. He said he wanted to treat me to dinner."
"Why did you tell him this matter in advance without asking for my opinion first? Are you going too far?" What I didn't expect was that she suddenly became angry.
I was confused, "Dingxiang, what do you mean by this?" Then I woke up and said, "You are wrong. I just thought of this matter. There is no situation where I told him in advance. That's it, he
I was about to be transferred to Governor Huang as a secretary, so I was very happy, so he called me to invite me for a drink. But this thing happened by chance, and he called me just at this time."
"Only a ghost can believe it!" she said with a pout.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: Indeed, this thing was such a coincidence that I wouldn't believe it even if I met him. So I said, "If you don't want to go, forget it. Anyway, I didn't tell him who I was with. Oh,
No, I never told him about you."
She burst out laughing, "Feng Xiao, don't lie so lowly, right?"
I was suddenly stunned, "Where did I lie?"
"I have met your classmate. Or did you ask him to have a meal with him? There was another beautiful woman there that time. Have you forgotten?" she said with a laugh.
Only then did I remember that incident, "This... I really forgot. It seems so, there was Sun Lulu that time. Sorry, I really forgot. That's just right, since you have met him
, I don’t need to say more.”
She looked at me and said, "I don't know whether I should believe you or not."
I immediately smiled bitterly and stopped answering. I knew that no matter what I said now, it would be meaningless. At the same time, I was still a little angry in my heart: I want to help you, could it be that I have eaten too much and have nothing to do? I am not trying to please you.
!
She was concentrating on driving and stopped talking to me. I felt very uncomfortable, so I closed my eyes to rest. But where could I sleep? There were many curves on the mountain road, and she was driving very fast, as if she was deliberately not allowed to sleep.
I seemed to be asleep. I still didn't speak or open my eyes.
When I close my eyes, I can also feel what kind of road the car is driving on, turning left, right, uphill, downhill... Finally, I feel that the car has been driving downwards, that is to say,
We started to go down the mountain. It was at this time that I heard her voice, "Okay. I'll go with you."
I opened my eyes, and in front of me was the stone house. It was on the right side of my sight, and it seemed so lonely.
I regretted that I should not have brought Lilac, because I clearly felt that Kang Demao was reserved in his words. Later, I took the initiative to ask him about the provincial government's conversation with him, and he gave a brief summary.
He told me that a deputy secretary-general of the provincial government came to talk to him personally, that is, he briefly asked about his situation, family situation, education, work history, etc. The questions were both detailed and simple. The detailed ones were from him.
The simple thing about working in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is that he only asks broad contextual questions.
"In the end, he asked me to write two pieces of calligraphy, one with brush calligraphy and one with pen calligraphy. When I was writing pen calligraphy, he asked me to write an article on the spot." He finally said.
I immediately became interested, "I've never seen your calligraphy before. You won't make a fool of yourself, will you?"
He smiled and said: "Although my calligraphy is not particularly good, I have practiced the basic structure. Especially when I was a graduate student in Beijing, in addition to doing some business to make money in my spare time, I also traveled around the world
I visited the streets and alleys of the capital. You know, Beijing is the cultural center of our country, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the inscriptions there are all treasures of calligraphy. So, for a while, I fell in love with that thing without knowing it, so I
I bought a calligraphy book to practice with. Once the calligraphy is done with the calligraphy, the pen calligraphy will come naturally without any problem."
"You are so lucky." Lilac said.
I shook my head, "This is not just a matter of luck. As the saying goes? Opportunities always favor those who are prepared. So I always believe that everyone's success has its own reasons."
"Being born into an emperor's family, and then enjoying happiness for the rest of his life, is this the right thing to do?" Ding Xiang said with a frown.
"Who says that being born into an emperor's family means you will definitely enjoy happiness? Have you heard the story about the nine sons who took over the throne during the Kangxi Dynasty? You should know about Li Shimin launching the Xuanwumen Incident, right? There are also several sons of Emperor Yongzheng,
That is, what happened to Emperor Qianlong’s elder brother and younger brother... Things that happened to the emperor’s family were more cruel and bloody than things that happened to common people, and maybe people would be killed,” Kang Demao said.
"I know about the Xuanwu Clan's affair with the nine sons seizing the legitimate sons. What's going on between Emperor Qianlong's brothers?" I asked.
"The successor in Yongzheng's heart was Hongli, who later became Qianlong. However, Hongli's brother Hongshi had evil intentions and dreamed of taking away the crown prince's position. He actually colluded with Yongzheng's political opponents and tried to assassinate Hongli. As a result, he was secretly executed by Yongzheng.
"Yes. Hongli's younger brother Hongxi was frightened and went crazy from then on. He pretended to be stupid all his life before he died a good death." Kang Demao replied.
I nodded, "That's right, so things in the political arena are cruel, sometimes more terrifying than war."
"So you have always been unwilling to enter politics and just want to be a good doctor, right?" Kang Demao asked me with a smile.
I shook my head, "That's not true, I just don't like that kind of work. I spend all day thinking about the intrigues in the officialdom. It's too tiring. Look at Duan Muxiong, what a powerful person he used to be..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard Kang Demao coughing. I suddenly woke up and immediately changed my words, "So this guy, I can't tell, it's just like us being doctors. He sees the doctor, prescribes medicine, and then gets off work."
Drinking, how comfortable is it?"
"Who is Duanmuxiong? What happened to him?" But Dingxiang had already heard my words, and she was asking.
"An official takes bribes." Kang Demao said, and then added: "That's fine. But Feng Xiao, I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to go to the provincial government."
Ding Xiang looked at me in surprise, "Feng Xiao, you? Do you have such great ability? Why don't you just get me to work in the provincial government?"
I smiled bitterly, "How can I do this?"
Kang Demao said hurriedly: "Teacher Ding, maybe you don't know, I originally considered letting Feng Xiao go to the provincial government to work as a secretary for the leaders, but he didn't agree to go. That's why I have the opportunity now."
Ding Xiang came to see me, "Why? You're not like that Hong Xi, are you? To hide your strength and bide your time?"
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Why should I keep my glory and keep a low profile? As I said just now, I just pursue simplicity. I don’t have such big lofty ideals.”
"Isn't it an ideal to be an expert? As the saying goes, there are thirty-six things to do, and you will be number one. Feng Xiao, I actually admire you because you position yourself very accurately and know your advantages very well.
.A person does not necessarily have to take the path of becoming an official. The most important thing is to find a path that suits his own development." Kang Demao said.
"Leader Kang, tell me, what kind of path is suitable for me?" Ding Xiang asked.
"Don't call me that. I am now the secretary-general of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city and will soon be the secretary of the provincial leader. Just call me Secretary Kang. You can also call me Secretary Kang, or you can just call me by my name. That's great.
?" Kandemao said.
"Okay, I'll call you Kang Mi. You haven't answered my question yet." Ding Xiang said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
I suddenly laughed in my heart, because there is only one situation that Ding Xiang is showing now, and that is that she is very dissatisfied with her current job, or is very confused about her future.
Kang Demao said: "I don't know you well, so I can't give you any advice. But you are a lesbian and a college teacher. I think your current job is already very good. Life in college should be the best now."
It's a good life. Not only is it leisurely, but it's also far away from the complicated society. The treatment is pretty good. Many people can't get in even if they want to."
I also nodded and said: "I think so too. Another advantage of colleges and universities is that you are in contact with teachers and students at any time. This is the same as when we are doctors. In general, the relationship between our colleagues
You are still relatively simple, and Ding Xiang, you have one thing better than me, that is, you often come into contact with students, they are all very simple and very young, which can keep your mentality young."
"Don't you have interns in your hospital?" Ding Xiang asked.
I smiled and replied: "Yes. But the interns are all students who are about to graduate. They rarely communicate with us. Are they preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination or are they anxious about their work? They are more anxious than us doctors.
.”
"According to you, my current job is the best?" Ding Xiang asked.
Kang Demao and I said in unison: "Yes."
She immediately laughed, "Why don't I feel this myself? I am very dissatisfied with my current job."
Kang Demao said solemnly: "It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old. Anyone who works in an industry for a long time will feel bored."
"So, is this the same with your personal feelings? Do you also like the new and dislike the old?" Ding Xiang asked.
Kang Demao suddenly laughed, "This is different. There is a basis of affection between the couple. But our work is different. In the final analysis, work is an employer-employee relationship, and there is no equality at all.
Things between a couple can be discussed and mutual concessions can be made. Only when you can't bear it can you consider breaking up. This is impossible at work. Discuss? Will they give you this opportunity? Concession? The only one who makes concessions is yourself. What do you think?
Have you ever seen your boss make concessions? If he doesn’t let you wear small shoes, he’s showing you mercy. Don’t you think so?”
Ding Xiang nodded and said: "It seems like this. Kang Mi, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking." (To be continued)
