Shen Chunhe was not a good official.
As the local official of Dongqi County, it has been thirteen years since he took office.
From the skinny young man when he first came here to his current round-bellied figure, as well as the charming five-bedroom concubine in the backyard, it is enough to show that he eats a lot of food and drink on weekdays.
But his evaluation in the eyes of the people is not very bad.
There is only one reason.
Shen Chunhe has always believed in one purpose, which is to prevent the people from going hungry and freezing as much as possible.
Because they are hungry and cold, people will become bloodthirsty and unruly people, and they will cause trouble.
His official position is no longer guaranteed.
Without an official position, let alone a wealthy woman, even the swill from the pig trough will not be able to be fished out.
However, they should not be allowed to eat too much or dress too warmly.
Because sometimes people can cause trouble if they eat too much.
Therefore, proper exploitation and exploitation, profit and water, you are good, I am good, everyone can live in harmony.
County government office.
Li Nanke, who was originally planning to go home, was brought here by the Yamen.
There was no one else in the living room except him.
Li Nanke kept thinking about why the county magistrate suddenly summoned him. Are you planning to ask about Lin's case, or have you heard rumors that he might join the Night Patrol Department?
But no matter what the other party's reasons are, he must remain respectful enough.
He could act casually in front of people like Leng Xinnan, because those people themselves had a strong aura of "ganghu", so they didn't need to be too hypocritical and polite, just get along naturally.
But not here.
Even if the other party is just a county magistrate.
"Hey, Nanke is here."
Shen Chunhe came from the back hall with a belly as big as nine months pregnant. When he saw Li Nanke, a smile appeared on his fat and fat face, and he waved his hands. "sit."
Li Nanke stood without moving, raised his hands and saluted: "I have seen you in this humble position, sir."
Shen Chunhe stuffed his fat body into the chair, took the tea from the delicate maid, gently removed the foam with the lid of the cup, took a sip of the fine strong tea, and then sighed slowly and softly:
"Nanke, you have worked hard these days, investigating cases and helping to capture monsters. I feel very guilty after seeing this, and I have not been able to help you much."
A "Nanke" sound showed his attitude.
Faced with the polite approach from the county magistrate, Li Nanke certainly could not take it for granted and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you are busy with official duties and work hard for the people. It is not easy for you to think about the hard work of your humble job.
Besides, I hold a humble position as a county government official. It is my duty to obey the adults' arrangements and cooperate with the night patrol department to investigate the case. The Lin Mansion case was fortunately solved this time, and it was also a blessing from the adults and the county government. Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether this case can be solved. "
Was it arranged by Shen Chunhe that Li Nanke assisted in handling the case?
of course not.
That was Leng Xinnan's initiative to invite.
Is it really because of the blessings of Master Shen and the county government that this case can be solved?
of course not.
This is what Li Nanke gained in exchange for his IQ.
But the so-called knowledge of advance and retreat, and knowledge of affairs are essential survival skills in the workplace and officialdom.
As he spoke, Li Nanke tried his best to tie himself to the county government and Shen Chunhe, share the credit for solving the case, and even give up the majority, just because he was still a member of the county government.
Even if he will enter the Night Patrol Department in the future, he must not lose sight of the rules he should have.
No matter what environment you are in, you must learn to be a human being.
In interpersonal relationships, the most taboo thing is to treat your former boss coldly or even deliberately humiliate him after a sudden promotion.
Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future
Can you guarantee that you won’t fall off one day? Can you guarantee that your boss will not climb up one day?
Besides, do you know how many connections are involved behind your boss’s back?
Hedong in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years.
Only by leaving room for everything can we advance or retreat.
Especially now that Li Nanke's personnel appointments for the Night Patrol Department have not yet been announced, if something goes wrong, he will have to continue working in the county government.
Hearing Li Nanke's response, the crow's feet at the corners of Shen Chunhe's eyes slowly expanded, and he smiled like a sticky spider web. He nodded at Li Nanke with the hand holding the tea lid and said: "Nanke, Nanke, no It’s in vain that I valued you in the past.”
Look at the hammer.
If it hadn't been for this case, I probably wouldn't have bothered to deal with a small gangster.
Seeing Li Nanke still standing, Shen Chunhe frowned. "What are you standing for? Sit down. Sit down quickly." Then he ordered the maid again. "Serve Nanke tea and bring over the Yun Chunxiang that Mrs. Yuan gave me a few days ago."
Sitting depends on the occasion, status, time, atmosphere, and the size of the matter.
In this situation and with opposing identities, Shen Chunhe's first offer to sit down was just a courtesy.
If Li Nanke really sat there carelessly, although his boss wouldn't say anything, he would definitely be dissatisfied in his heart. Only by continuing to stand can Master Shen realize the superiority of being a county magistrate and feel the awe from his subordinates.
But the second time I ask you to 'sit', you are really asked to sit.
If you still stand around and do not sit down, your boss will be dissatisfied and the impression will be lost.
Didn’t you see that the maid was only served tea at this time?
Fortunately, Li Nanke was a smart man. After thanking him, he sat on the chair at the bottom, his expression still respectful.
The maid served tea and stepped back lightly at Shen Chunhe's signal.
"Try it. This tea is picked from the sea of clouds. Many dignitaries and nobles like to drink it. It is very precious."
Shen Chunhe said with a smile. "Last time, I went to celebrate the birthday of the old mother of Mr. Yuan, the prefect of Yuncheng. Mr. Yuan, you should also know that his father-in-law is the governor of Longjiang. After the birthday banquet, Mrs. Yuan specially gave me this can , I’m reluctant to take it out on weekdays.”
A lot of information was revealed in just a few words.
First, although this tea is precious, it is not from corruption on my part. I, Shen Chunhe, am an upright official, so don’t think nonsense.
Second, I have a relationship with Mr. Yuan, the prefect of Yuncheng.
As for the depth of the relationship, you figure it out yourself.
Thirdly, I am reluctant to drink such precious tea, but I brought it out to you, which shows that I really value you. Then what we talk about next is more important.
"Thank you, sir."
Li Nanke looked flattered, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then praised him. "It smells like orchid and cinnamon and tastes like sweet rain. It's such a good tea. It's such a high-quality tea. No wonder Mrs. Yuan would give it to you."
What's the meaning?
Only good tea can be worthy of a good official.
Since Madam Yuan has given you such good tea, it means that you, Mr. Shen, are a good official.
I am treated with special respect by Mr. Yuan.
Facing Li Nanke's natural flattery, Mr. Shen's smile grew stronger, and he looked at Li Nanke with special affection.
Why haven't I discovered this lovable guy before?
I can only blame it on spending so much time with my aunt in the backyard that my brain is full of energy.
After the polite words were over and the relationship between the two was successfully brought closer, Shen Chunhe revealed his ultimate goal.
"Nan Ke, I have had the idea a long time ago to make you my master, but unfortunately I am too busy with official duties, so it has been delayed."
Shen Chunhe sighed, his words sincere. "This time, just as the Lin Mansion case is over, I have decided to formally ask you to be my master. Of course, if Nan Ke is unwilling, I will not force it. After all, everyone has his own ambitions."
Master?
Li Nanke was stunned for a moment, his brain running rapidly.
In just a few seconds, he understood the purpose and reason of what the other party did.
Shen Chunhe obviously already knew that Li Nanke would soon join the Night Patrol Department and even have a promising future.
But the problem is that Li Nanke is a small gangster in Dongqi County.
A small coward in the county government turned out to be the new star of the Night Patrol Department. What do you want others to think?
As a county official, you, Shen Chunhe, don't even know there is such a talented person under your nose? I don’t know the talent. He said that you, Chen Chunhe, are full of fat and a big idiot. Can such a county magistrate manage the place well?
People's words are scary, and people's hearts are unpredictable. This is how the handles and stains come.
So what should we do at this time?
You must raise your status before the other party takes office.
Recommend Li Nanke to be the county magistrate? Those are civil servants with established staff, what can they do in a short while?
After much thought, the best choice was to make an exception and let Li Nanke be the 'Master'.
Although there is no preparation, it is a hundred times stronger than the original work.
Besides, what is a master? That's the 'brain'.
Now this 'brain' that I value so much has risen to prominence. It is valued by the Night Patrol Department. What does it mean?
It means that I, Shen Chunhe, have a sharp eye and a discerning eye.
It shows that I, Shen Chunhe, have the foresight to discover such a talent, otherwise how could he be my master.
So this is Shen Chunhe's ultimate goal.
Li Nanke was promoted, and his face was stained with glory. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best of both worlds?
Of course, Shen Chunhe also knew that the other party looked down on this master now, so he had to persuade him and also add some chips.
"Nan Ke, what this officialdom actually emphasizes is a person's worldliness, a big net carrying a small net."
Shen Chunhe said with a smile. "Whether it is the Night Patrol Division or the Shadow Guard, they are all in the same line. If you have the opportunity to go to Yuncheng in the future, I can just ask Mr. Yuan to take care of you."
Shen Chunhe's subtext is very clear.
If you enter the Night Watch Division as a 'guru', you will definitely be ostracized and ridiculed. But if you enter as a 'Master', the situation will change a bit.
At that time, I can also ask Master Yuan to take care of you.
In addition, 'care' here has two meanings.
If you follow the Tao, then you are truly caring.
If you are not on the right track, then don't blame me for causing trouble behind my back. I don’t dare wear small shoes, but I still have the ability to spit.
Li Nanke understood Shen Chunhe's purpose, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "It is a blessing to be appreciated by the Lord for my humble position. Your Majesty shows your love so much, how can I refuse the humble position? I would like to serve the emperor, the court, the Yamen, and your Excellency." Share the worries. "
Again, once you step into this big dye vat, you have to be friendly and know the world.
Li Nanke is not a fool.
It would not hurt him to reach an agreement with a veteran like Shen Chunhe.
Since it's a win-win situation, why refuse.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Shen Chunhe laughed loudly, said hello three times, and personally stepped forward to support Li Nanke's shoulders and push him back to the chair.
Li Nanke was polite and grateful.
After the two talked passionately for a while, Shen Chunhe motioned to the maid to bring over a can of tea, and said with emotion: "Sir, please take the can of tea that Mrs. Yuan gave me."
"How dare you accept such a precious gift in a humble position?"
Li Nanke pretended to refuse.
Shen Chunhe waved his hand and said: "Sir, please accept it. In the entire Dongqi County, who doesn't know that I, Shen Chunhe, am a good official with a clear mind? Apart from this jar of tea, I really don't have any precious gifts to hand."
Li Nanke's face twitched a few times.
Damn it, I'm addicted to this bastard drama.
Looking at the majestic and handsome Li Nanke in front of him, Shen Chunhe couldn't help but feel a little emotional while admiring him. "It's good to be young."
Li Nanke smiled and said: "My master is still in good health."
"No way." Shen Chunhe waved his hands, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No more than when I was young. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I had dinner a few days ago. I was bored for a while and planned to stretch my body and wander to a small secluded alley.
I saw a small red door with a clump of pine trees growing around it. The scenery was pleasant. The officer became interested and planned to go in for a tour. Who would have thought that within a few steps, his body would feel uncomfortable and he was exhausted. In the end, he could only leave in frustration.
I went to many doctors, but my body and bones were still as useless as ever. So Nanke, while you are young, go out and walk more. There are thousands of roads in the world, so it’s okay to leave more footprints. "
