It is rare for Sister Zhang to become the center of attention in the office, and she seems to have some upper hand.
I can’t stop talking about it. “Hey~ Let me tell you, there’s another thing. Last night when I was getting off work at our house, I passed by the entrance of the grain storage. I saw a person standing not far from the grain storage. Wow.
He was whistling loudly, and there were actually two mice circling around him at his feet!"
Aunt Zheng on the side interrupted and said, "Oh~ this person can't control mice, so he should go and besiege the grain depot~ Xiao Zhang'er, you know about this, have you reported it?"
Sister Zhang felt embarrassed for a moment, and laughed dryly and said, "Hey, why are you reporting this? There is no proof or evidence. If you really go to the police station, you won't be bombarded."
Sun Lan helped, "Sister Zhang, brother-in-law, did you tell me what that person looks like?"
Sister Zhang thought for a while and said, "He also walked by and said he was a slovenly man, with scratchy eyebrows and beard, and a smell all over his body..."
Du Fei was originally somewhat interested.
There were various signs last night that the rats in the grain storage were not accidental.
Hearing what Sister Zhang said made Du Fei even more curious.
But soon, he discovered that when Sister Zhang was speaking, she was blinking and looking up and to the right unconsciously.
Most of them were compiled on the fly.
Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But then I thought about it, it seemed normal for these old ladies to talk like this.
The things they say, even if they are only one point, can be said to be ten points, otherwise there would be so many gossips.
Aunt Zheng took it more seriously and advised, "Xiao Zhang, you can't do this. Such an important situation must be reported, so don't delay."
Sister Zhang said perfunctorily, "When we get off work in the evening, we will ask our family to go to the police station."
As for whether to go or not, only she knows.
Soon it was noon again, and Du Fei walked to the canteen with Section Chief Qian, but he still couldn't help but think of the sloppy man who blew the whistle that Sister Zhang mentioned in the morning.
Although Sister Zhang had obvious signs of lying in the morning, Du Fei always felt that this person existed.
As for evidence, he didn't have any, it was just an intuition.
But Du Fei didn't worry too much about this.
Even if someone really wants to cause trouble in the grain depot, there will naturally be relevant departments to deal with it.
Instead, Zhu Ting went to the countryside for research. She didn't see her at work for several days, and she really missed her.
After finishing his meal, Du Fei returned to the street office.
Before he entered the office, he saw Zhou Peng coming out from the opposite side, holding a newspaper in his hand and patting Du Fei with a smile, "Brother, that's okay! He actually got published in the "Youth Daily" without saying a word!"
As he spoke, he opened the newspaper in his hand towards Du Fei, occupying a large space in the middle of the second page.
Du Fei didn't look at anything else, but first took a look at the signature below. It was Zhang Hongying.
Zhou Peng added, "You deserve a treat! When I saw your name at first, I thought it was the same name. It wasn't until I pointed out our street that I realized it was you."
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "Don't even think about treating me. It's a comrade of Youth Daily who can be published in the newspaper. He affirms my work and character. If I want to treat me, I have to treat other journalist comrades. What's the big deal?"
"
"Hey, you kid..." Zhou Peng was speechless after being scolded, but he couldn't help but said angrily, "I'm telling you, you don't have to be rude. That bitch Zhang Hongying is not easy to deal with. I'll see how you pay her back later."
Favor."
Du Fei said disapprovingly, "What's the point in paying her back? I don't owe her anything. It's all Sister Ting who found it for me."
Zhou Peng blinked his eyes and said angrily, "I said, you kid, why don't you order Bilian? Is it honorable to eat soft rice?"
Du Fei didn't feel ashamed, but felt that Rong: "I've had a bad stomach since I was a kid, and I've always loved eating this. Can you care? If you can, give me one to see."
"He and I~" Zhou Peng broke through the defense instantly, causing a huge amount of mental damage, covering his chest and saying, "No~ You are too hurtful by what you said. It's barbecue season tonight, please!"
Du Fei laughed and then agreed.
Zhou Peng curled his lips and muttered, "That's pretty much it~"
What they were talking about just now was heard by Sun Lan who was passing by.
After Zhou Peng left, he immediately came up and said, "Xiao Du, you are in the newspaper! Let me see..."
The newspaper Zhou Peng took just now was already in Du Fei's hands.
Du Fei wanted to publicize the matter in the newspaper, and of course he would not hide it.
It just so happened that Sun Lan knew about it, which meant that the old ladies in the office knew about it.
Once these old ladies know about it, within two or three days, the entire street office, the neighborhood committee below, and even the district departments will know about it.
While handing the newspaper over, he said modestly, "It's not a big section, it's just here~" He opened the newspaper and pointed with his finger.
Sun Lan was also a little excited when she read the article in the newspaper.
In all her life, this was the first time she saw someone close to her in a newspaper.
Or a big newspaper like Youth Daily.
What's more important is that the relationship between Du Fei and his family is not just a matter of both prosperity and loss, but it's pretty much the same.
Now that Du Fei is in the newspaper and has become a progressive model, of course she is happy.
This "Youth Daily" passed from Du Fei to Sun Lan, and was displayed in the office.
When everyone saw it, everyone was envious and offered nice words as if they were free of money.
Especially the few temporary workers in the office.
Du Fei, who came later, was able to become a full-time official first. They didn't say it, but they were very dissatisfied in their hearts.
Moreover, Du Fei did not simply become a full-time employee, but he graduated from a technical secondary school and became a seventh-level clerk.
I'm just twenty years old and my monthly salary is only thirty-seven and five yuan. Who wouldn't be jealous!
But as soon as this newspaper came out, their minds immediately changed.
It feels like the distance has suddenly widened, and I can no longer even feel jealous.
Du Fei, on the other hand, behaved very humbly and showed no signs of getting carried away until he was called to the small office by Section Chief Qian.
Seeing Du Fei coming, Section Chief Qian said nothing and looked at him with a smile.
Du Fei said hey, "Uncle Qian, please don't look at me like that, it makes me really scared."
Section Chief Qian curled his lips and said, "You kid, you are so brave, how can you still be afraid?"
Du Fei smiled and said, "Look at what you said, no matter how courageous I am, I am still just a pawn under you. You ask me to go east, but I don't dare to go west. You ask me to chase away dogs, but I don't dare to catch chickens..."
"
Section Chief Qian waited for him and glanced at him, "Stop talking nonsense to me. I just read the newspaper, and you really were in the newspaper!"
Du Fei chuckled again.
However, Section Chief Qian became serious and said in a deep voice, "This matter is not trivial. The old lady's house..."
Du Fei understood what he was worried about and hurriedly wrote the ticket and said, "Don't worry, we are definitely not doing any fraud. Besides, reporters from other newspapers don't dare to write nonsense. They have all gone to our hospital to read it."
"That's good~" Section Chief Qian nodded and reminded, "But
, please give me a break recently and stop causing trouble~ It’s not easy to show up at this time."
Du Fei quickly said, "Uncle, don't worry, I understand this."
Seeing Du Fei's attitude, Section Chief Qian stopped.
Wait until get off work ends in the evening.
As soon as Du Fei left the office, he saw Zhou Peng waiting for him in the courtyard with a smile.
BBQ season scheduled during the day.
This is already Du Fei’s third barbecue season.
Needless to say, it is indeed delicious. Another advantage is that it is close to home. After eating, I can ride my bike and go home.
Zhou Peng knew that Du Fei was not short of money, so he first ordered three plates of mutton and three plates of beef, none of which were vegetarian.
Du Fei laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, what hatred and hatred are there? You are trying to turn your grief and anger into food! You will eat me up and go bankrupt."
Zhou Peng curled his lips, took out a military kettle from his arms and put it on the table. "I won't eat your meat for free. Today I will help you open the meat." After saying that, he opened the military kettle and poured a cup of amber from the cup.
He looked at the beautiful liquid and whispered, "Scotch whiskey, made in the 1950s, aged in barrels for fifteen years, and bottled only last year."
Du Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhou Peng's humble military kettle contained this stuff.
Immediately I became interested, picked it up and took a sip, it had a light smoky flavor.
I can’t say how delicious it is, but it’s not hard to swallow either.
This feeling is a bit like drinking Maotai for the first time. I am not used to the smell of soybean paste, but the more I drink it, the more I become addicted.
Du Fei didn't ask where the wine came from.
As the saying goes, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and don’t know what you shouldn’t know.
The two of them ate, drank, and watched the barbecue.
After eating half of it, Zhou Peng became more and more courageous as he fought!
When Du Fei asked, he found out that he hadn't eaten at lunch and was just waiting for the tooth-beating meal in the evening.
Du Fei didn't worry about the money, so he simply ordered two more plates of meat.
Zhou Peng burped until he was able to pay the bill.
The barbecue season is right on the shore of Shicha Sea.
The two pushed the car out and didn't separate immediately.
Du Fei realized that Zhou Peng should have something to say, but there were too many people in the hotel just now.
Zhou Peng tilted his head and looked at the night view of Shichahai. He suddenly let out a laugh and cursed, "Why the hell am I and you, a gentleman, walking on the road here under the lake light at night?"
Du Fei was stunned and was about to retort.
Zhou Peng accepted the joke and suddenly said seriously, "Brother, we have known each other for a long time. Have you ever doubted what I do?"
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "Tch~ you can do whatever you like, why do you need me to meddle in your own business? You're so showy, what's the problem? You'd have been caught and taken out for target practice."
Zhou Peng chuckled and said unconcernedly, "So~ you have already guessed it."
Du Fei said vaguely, "It's not too early."
Zhou Peng thought for a while and said very seriously, "In this case, I won't talk nonsense. Now our superiors have taken a fancy to you and want to recruit you..."
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, please don't make fun of me."
Zhou Peng said lightly, "Do you think I'm joking? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This is not the first time. I've helped you block it twice, but... Lao Luo was so determined that he fell in love with you. I
There is nothing we can do.”
"Old Luo?" Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed that this 'Old Luo' was probably his superior Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng continued, "If you are interested in our business, come back and talk to me. If you don't want to come... hurry up and find your father-in-law, don't delay!"
Du Fei could see that Zhou Peng's attitude was very sincere.
The suggestions made are also very pertinent.
Du Fei nodded seriously.
Zhou Peng let out a long breath, "Okay, I've said what I need to say, let's go~" Then he got on the car and left.
Du Fei stood there and shouted, "Brother Zhou, thank you!"
Zhou Peng didn't even look back, just waved his hand and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Du Fei stood there with his brows furrowed.
The news Zhou Peng brought to him really surprised him.
Du Fei had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to absorb him into the organization.
As the old saying goes, once you enter the rivers and lakes, it is as deep as the sea, and it is extremely difficult to turn back.
What's more, it's the secret department where Zhou Peng works.
If Du Fei was just an ordinary passionate young man, this path might be a good choice.
Although it may be dangerous, you can get far more generous treatment than your peers, faster promotion, and better development...
But these benefits are not attractive to Du Fei.
Moreover, Zhou Peng also revealed an important news just now.
Chen Zhongyuan will definitely not be able to solve this matter. If he wants to refuse, he must ask Dad Zhu to come forward.
Du Fei thought silently.
It seems that I have to go to Zhu's house tomorrow to talk about this matter.
Although Zhu Ting was not at home, Du Fei didn't feel frightened when he went to find Zhu's father alone after the conversation in the study last time.
I was thinking about it in my mind while riding my bicycle.
After a while, Du Fei returned to the courtyard.
Before reaching the gate, I saw a sneaky figure in the distance, sneaking in with a dough bag on his back.
Du Fei recognized Yan Jiecheng at a glance.
Thinking again of what Qin Huairu said in the morning.
Last night, Xiao Wang came to see him. Not only was Si Zhu present, but the third uncle was also there.
Since Silly Zhu can think of hoarding some food, how could the third uncle not be so shrewd as not to think of it!
I guess I went to Pigeon Market to buy food all morning, and I don’t know where it was stored.
By now, no one was walking around in the yard, so I secretly took back the food I bought so as not to be seen.
Du Fei secretly laughed in his heart and came down to the door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Jiecheng coming out of the house again. There was a slight sweat on his forehead. It was obviously not a move.
Seeing Du Fei face to face, Yan Jiefang was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised.
Du Fei often comes back very late recently, so he quickly said hello.
Du Fei smiled and entered the middle courtyard without asking any questions.
I can't beat the stick, and I'm still practicing my basic skills.
Silly Zhu was watching from the side, and when he saw Du Fei coming back, he immediately came over and said, "Brother, I heard everything today..."
Du Fei was stunned by his "cut off the beginning and end" words and said, "What did you hear?"
Silly Zhu said with joy, "You're still pretending to be confused. It's just a matter of the grain storage in the west of the city. Our cafeteria Xiao Lu lives there. What a good guy! It's so noisy! Last night, I brought your big cat with you."
, you went there too, right?"
Du Fei smiled, acquiescing.
Silly Zhu suddenly became more excited, and quickly asked, "Holy shit, it's true! Tell me quickly, what's going on? Are there really so many rats?"
