I remember when I first started working, someone in the department jokingly asked Lao Hu: "Dr. Hu, how do you men see a woman's genitals?" Lao Hu shook his head and replied: "It's boring, isn't it just a piece of intestines?"
Now, I find that I seem to have reached the level of calmness that Lao Hu has when looking at women. Yes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, isn’t that part of their body just an organ? Sex without emotion can only end up with
It’s one: trouble.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little surprised: Tao Tao didn't seem to mean to cause any trouble for me. Then I thought again: She is a woman and a woman with a formal job.
She doesn't want others to know about her relationship with me.
Maybe so.
So I no longer felt any pressure in my heart, and I immediately picked up the phone and called Principal Wu.
He spoke to me first, "Xiao Feng, are you okay?"
I felt very comfortable in my heart, because he was the leader and was so polite to me. I hurriedly said: "Principal Wu, first of all, I would like to apologize to you. That's it. I want to treat you to dinner tonight and report to you by the way.
Work. Aren’t Zeng Chu and I planning to go abroad soon? So I wanted to ask if you have any work to do for us. Haha! I’m really sorry, because there were other dinners today, but they were canceled at short notice, so I came so late.
Inviting you. I know you are quite busy recently, and I heard that your daily schedule is booked several days in advance. Sorry, I just asked by the way."
"Xiao Feng, you are too polite. How could I be so busy? Haha! But I did get an appointment tonight, and I was about to go out. Xiao Feng, who else are you there? Just you and Xiao Feng
Was it ever?" He asked me with a smile.
I said, "Yeah. Just the two of us."
He said: "I think so, you two can go with me tonight. I have a leader from my hometown who invites me to dinner."
I hurriedly said: "Isn't this inconvenient? Forget it, let's come to your office another day."
He said: "Come on. There are a bunch of fellow countrymen over there. I'm very happy that you and Xiao Zeng are here."
I thought for a while and then said: "Principal Wu, please pick up Xiao Zeng. Is that okay? Tell me the place and I will drive there right away."
He said, "Okay. I'll call her right away."
Then he told me the address of the restaurant and the specific room number. I immediately went to the front and turned the car around.
From where I walked first to the restaurant that Principal Wu mentioned, I estimate that they and I should have arrived at about the same time.
Not long after I put down the phone, I received a call from Kang Demao, "Feng Xiao, your phone number is really a hotline."
I smiled and said, "What? It's just that when you called me, I happened to be answering or making a call."
He laughed, "Looks like I'm quite unlucky today."
I smiled and said, "How big of a deal is it? Is this kind of thing considered bad luck?"
He said: "Of course, you will be Secretary Feng soon. It is certainly a bad luck that I can't get through to you."
I suddenly felt uncomfortable, "De Mao, did I offend you in some way? Why do you speak so sarcastically?"
He immediately said: "I'm joking with you. What? Are you angry?"
I was really angry, "Demao, I don't want you to make such a joke with me. Do you know? Such jokes are very hurtful."
He said: "Okay, can I be considered wrong? Feng Xiao, I heard that President Chang was going to invite you to dinner, but you refused? Is this the case?"
I seemed to understand who told him this, and it seemed that my guess was indeed correct. However, I still asked him in surprise: "De Mao, how did you know about this?"
He said: "Of course I know. President Chang has complained to me about you. He said that you haven't become Governor Huang's secretary yet, why have you become so arrogant? She is very dissatisfied with you.
.”
I thought to myself: Just go ahead and lie to ghosts.
"Feng Xiao, I think it's not good for you to do this. In fact, in the final analysis, we are just secretaries. No matter what, they are still department-level cadres. You will have a lot of work contacts with her in the future. Governor Huang is in charge of finance. Many times
You have to discuss work matters with her. From now on, you will be the secretary and the liaison person. It is not good to make the relationship stalemate. In fact, I also roughly know why you are doing this. Isn't it the matter of your father-in-law's loan last time?
President Chang has already told me that she was really embarrassed about what happened last time. It was the time when the country was tightening monetary policy, and there was nothing she could do. However, didn’t she also find a way to solve the problem for your father-in-law later?
Old classmate, I hope you will be more generous and don’t have to worry about certain things. Even if you are dissatisfied with someone or something, it is best to hide it in your heart. Otherwise, if others say it out, you will not be able to care about it.
Okay, people who don't understand the situation will say a lot of bad things about you behind your back, and in that case the gains will outweigh the losses. Do you think so?" He said in a very sincere tone, as if he was teaching you earnestly.
I immediately felt that I had indeed gone too far. However, from what he said, I felt that it was probably not Tao Tao who had told him about this. It was probably Chang Bailing who had complained in front of him. I said no.
Definitely. Of course, I couldn't admit that I was narrow-minded, so I hurriedly said: "De Mao, I do have something to do today. I have promised our school's Principal Wu to have dinner with me tonight. Isn't that right? I'm heading there
There’s no place to rush.”
He said: "You are about to leave the school. If you can, just push things over there. President Chang is still waiting for you to have dinner."
I said, "Isn't that good? After all, Principal Wu is still my leader."
He smiled and said, "Do you want me to call Principal Wu?"
Now I was surprised, "De Mao, do you think President Chang is really that important?"
He said: "The word 'important' you used is inappropriate. Everything we do must be based on our future work. To put it bluntly, we should consider whoever is beneficial to our future work first. As I said before, Huang
The governor is in charge of finance. If the relationship between you and President Chang is too tense, your work will be very passive in the future. For example, Governor Huang asked you to notify her to come to a meeting but she did not come in the end, and then you still
Tell Governor Huang that she didn't receive the notice or anything. Do you think Governor Huang believed you or her at that time? Even if Governor Huang believes you, there is no need for him to offend the main hall below for you every time.
A senior cadre, right? Leaders pay great attention to considering the overall situation, so such a result is not good for you. Isn’t there a saying that says this? Keep a distance when getting along with friends, so that the friendship can last longer; getting along with political opponents is the best.
It is better to be as close as possible, so that the other party can lose their vigilance or not go too far. Feng Xiao, do you think so? The things between you and her are still trivial matters after all, and your previous relationship
It seems pretty good, is it necessary to do that just for a small thing? Just listen to me, push Principal Wu away immediately, and come over as soon as possible. Okay?"
I hesitated for a moment, "Are you there too?"
He said: "Of course. Otherwise, why would I call you?"
I couldn't refuse anymore, and I knew I couldn't refuse anymore. Besides, there was absolutely no need for me to go to Principal Wu's side of things. So I said, "Okay, I'll try calling Principal Wu to ask for leave."
"He will agree. Just say that I took you away temporarily." He said, and then hung up the phone.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing in my heart that he quickly hung up the phone so that I could contact Principal Wu immediately.
Now I realize that I have indeed changed a lot. In the past, I would have hesitated for a long time and felt uneasy about such things. But now I don’t have any such feelings and thoughts, because I take
When I picked up the phone to call Principal Wu, I felt unusually calm, and I felt that my reasons were very sufficient and natural.
"Are you here? We still have a while. There is a traffic jam." He still spoke before me as soon as he answered the phone.
I said: "Principal Wu, I'm sorry. Just now my classmate Kang Demao called me and said there was an emergency, so I can't come tonight. I'm sorry, you must forgive me."
"Oh. That's it. That's okay. You go ahead." He said, and then smiled: "Anyway, we are here for a gathering of fellow villagers, so it doesn't matter."
I knew this was the result, so I said to him again: "Principal Wu, thank you. Well, let Xiao Zeng report to you. She is more familiar with it than me."
"Okay." He said, "Xiao Feng, take me to say hello to your classmate."
After the phone call ended, I discovered that some things are just like this. Things that I found difficult to do before turned out to be so easy now. In the final analysis, this is a mentality and a perspective of thinking about problems: what should be valued?
, what should be ignored, as long as you have this concept in your mind, it is not difficult to solve it.
Therefore, I am not worried about facing Chang Bailing next.
After arriving in the private room of the restaurant, I found that there were only a few cold dishes on the table. Chang Bailing, Kang Demao and Tao Tao were sitting inside chatting and waiting for my arrival. The dishes in front of them had not yet been moved.
.
"President Chang, I'm sorry, I really can't do anything today. Isn't that right? I had no choice but to rush over and have two drinks and then run over. Sorry!" I said to Chang Bailing immediately after entering. I found myself saying
When telling lies like this, it is possible to avoid blushing and stopping heartbeat.
Chang Bailing stood up, she smiled at me and said: "Dr. Feng is really too busy. Haha! What happened today is my fault. I also heard that you are going to be our leader soon, so I can't wait to think about it."
Congratulations. I should be the one to say sorry." (To be continued)
