In the farewell hall of the funeral home, Zhang Yuanqing was wearing a black suit with a white flower on his chest. After bowing three times, he took a deep look at his immediate boss, who was in his forties in the photo, and felt heavy in his heart.
Thinking of the leader's repeated words of reluctance before he left, the sadness in his heart became even stronger. This is one of the people I respect most, but it is a pity that he died young.
When we walked to the family area, our boss's wife, Lin Cuirou, was dressed all in white. She was in her early thirties and looked particularly haggard at the moment.
"Yuan Qing, if it weren't for you during this period... I don't know what I would have done..."
Although she felt extremely sad, she was extremely grateful to the young man in front of her. Ever since her husband was diagnosed with a serious illness, he has been busy.
Of course, there were many people who came to show their courtesy at that time. But as her husband's condition became more serious, fewer and fewer people came.
Lin Cuirou also came from an official family and understood the truth. My husband was upright and upright during his lifetime. He had irreconcilable conflicts with local officials and offended many people.
Seeing that there was no hope for his recovery, it was natural for him to leave.
Even today, there were only three team members present, coming and going in a hurry, going through the motions politely.
Only this young man took care of these things without saying a word. I remembered that my husband mentioned many times during his lifetime that he was particularly fond of this young man. Now it seems that my husband's vision was correct.
"It's busy here, go back to work quickly, don't delay your work."
Lin Cuirou shook Zhang Yuanqing's hand tightly, indicating something.
Zhang Yuanqing's heart was equally heavy, and he understood that there was something behind Lin Cuirou's words.
Having stayed with the leader in the municipal party committee office for almost a year, I understand some official rules. When an old leader dies of illness, according to official practice, the boundaries should be drawn as soon as possible to avoid being labeled as a "remnant".
In particular, old leaders were transferred from provincial capitals to local areas, which caused considerable conflicts with local factions.
Although he mentioned the minor subject in his hands, even if he drew a clear line, others would only say that he was protecting himself and would not say anything more.
However, Zhang Yuanqing did not do this. The reason for this, in his words, was to have a clear conscience.
The old leader was kind to me, and he had no children. No matter what, I have to accompany him on the last journey of life.
Zhang Yuanqing comforted Lin Cuirou for a few words, and then went out to go back to work. He understood that with the old leader gone, those clowns in the past would not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Once, as a secretary to the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I was envied, jealous, and hated. So now, they will turn into stones and hit themselves, even breaking their spine!
Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the funeral home and was about to get in the car. Suddenly I saw an old woman passed out at the door.
In an instant, the people next to him moved out of the way. There was only a young woman shouting for help.
When Zhang Yuanqing saw this, he immediately ran over. The people next to him got out of the way. In today's world, the old man didn't dare to help him. Anyway, this kind of thing happens often in funeral parlors. It is normal for the old man to get emotional and leave completely.
After Zhang Yuanqing passed by, he checked the basic situation first, then picked her up without saying a word, and said to the young woman: "Get in the car quickly, I know where the nearest hospital is."
After that, he quickly drove the two of them to the hospital.
Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and the old man was fine. Zhang Yuanqing paid the medical expenses in advance and left without leaving his name.
However, the rescue was delayed. On the way, Zhang Yuanqing received a call from Qin Linyu, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office.
"Secretary Zhang, if you take leave for so many days and don't come to work, our office can't control you. The secretary-general came to check today, and you are the only one who is not here. Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. You can think of what to do."
Before Zhang Yuanqing could explain, the other party had already hung up the phone.
Zhang Yuanqing's face was extremely ugly, and the other party's strange words were like stabbing himself. The entire department knew that they were busy with the funeral of their old leader. Qin Linyu also said this deliberately, and it was vividly reflected in the words "leaving people away will make the tea cool."
The funeral had just been completed when Qin Linyu called to accuse him. He looked too ugly.
At this moment, he didn't think much and rushed to the municipal party committee office immediately. Although Qin Linyu's words were unpleasant, he had to explain to him face to face to prevent him from venting his anger or causing trouble for him in other ways.
Without the care of his old leader, Zhang Yuanqing must learn to behave with his tail between his legs.
As soon as he entered the building, many people couldn't help but avoid him when they saw him.
Some people who were nodding acquaintances on weekdays now pretended not to see it.
Once a gentleman, once a courtier, this is the eternal truth.
Zhang Yuanqing went straight to Qin Linyu's office.
When he knocked on the door and entered, Qin Linyu was on the phone and angry: "What did you do? How many times have you said it, but you can't handle this little thing. You come to me for everything, what's the use of you!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Linyu hung up the phone.
As the deputy director of the office, Qin Linyu is in charge of a large stall in the municipal party committee office. However, he has always had a bad temper and is very strict with his subordinates.
But before that, Qin Linyu was very polite to him and often praised him as a powerful person in the municipal party committee office.
But now, getting angry in front of Zhang Yuanqing was not enough. When he raised his head, his narrow eyes still had a cold light, and there was a dangerous emotion brewing.
"Director Qin, I'm here to report!"
Zhang Yuanqing took the initiative to speak and lowered his attitude.
People have to bow their heads under the roof. Although the old leader gave himself a minor subject when he was here. But in the municipal party committee office, the deputy department is nothing but an ant.
As the deputy director of the office, Qin Linyu has the rank of deputy director and is directly in charge of himself. Even when Zhang Yuanqing was in power, he still had to be courteous in front of him. It's even worse now, I can only stay with you and be careful.
"Yuan Qing, you are a top student after all. You entered the municipal party committee office with the first score in the written examination and interview. I also have high hopes for you. But in recent times, everyone has reported that your work attitude is very problematic!"
Qin Linyu said sadly, there was no need to hide the meaning of beating.
Zhang Yuanqing also understood that the so-called everyone's reaction was just Director Qin's own thoughts. Not everyone is a dog-faced person, so they can change at will.
Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart, but still opened his mouth to explain: "Boss, I asked for leave in advance..."
"I didn't ask you about asking for leave, I was talking about your work attitude!" Qin Linyu knocked on the table and interrupted Zhang Yuanqing rudely.
Zhang Yuanqing is also angry. You, a deputy director, are making things difficult for me, a deputy section leader. Is it interesting?
I have been taking care of my old leader during this time, don’t you know?
It's just that the official level is overwhelming, Zhang Yuanqing can't express his anger, so he can only hold back and apologize.
Qin Linyu saw a trace of pleasure in his eyes when he saw him like this. In fact, he has long been unhappy with this boy, and of course he does not rule out feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
In addition, the person behind the scenes has already spoken out and assigned himself this task. Naturally, Qin Linyu would not show mercy.
Even if you see him lowering his head, you will beat him up.
"The Secretary-General was very angry today and asked the Organization Department for advice. I have said all my good words, but the discipline of the organization cannot be trampled upon. I have just given my opinion. See for yourself."
Qin Linyu's hypocritical words reached Zhang Yuanqing's ears.
Zhang Yuanqing endured his nausea and read the handling opinions, only to see that the above opinions meant a warning, a written examination, and a transfer from the original position.
Seeing such opinions, Zhang Yuanqing's heart was like thunder. Even if he didn't go to work on time today, a written inspection and a warning would already be serious. Because a warning is already a punishment.
However, he was immediately transferred from his original position, which was no longer specific to this morning. This is a reckoning with my recent performance, and I want to distribute myself.
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but slap his opinion on the table: "Director Qin, this punishment should be over."
