Chen Jingyi, a colleague in the office, looked at Zhao Xiaobei with dull eyes and said softly: "Brother Bei, Brother Bei. Are you okay?"
Zhao Xiaobei was awakened by Chen Jingyi's call. He replied lifelessly:
"fine."
Chen Jingyi actually respects Lao Zhao in the office. She was a civil servant who had just been admitted in July last year, and she had been following Zhao Xiaobei.
During this year, she saw Zhao Xiaobei's work ability and his hard work, and felt that he was an "old scalper" who was capable but not good at sociability. Sometimes I sympathize with Zhao Xiaobei for his unfair treatment.
"Brother Bei, don't be discouraged. You still have many opportunities." Chen Jingyi comforted Zhao Xiaobei. She thought Zhao Xiaobei felt uncomfortable because of this promotion.
"I'm fine." Zhao Xiaobei replied involuntarily. But Chen Jingyi clearly saw the tears in the corners of Zhao Xiaobei's eyes. She didn't expect that a deputy department would have such a big blow to Zhao Xiaobei.
In fact, Zhao Xiaobei had already thought about this promotion in his mind. Before the cuckold, the deputy department was an episode that was not even a blow.
There is a saying that goes like this: The hatred for killing the father and the hatred for taking away the wife are irreconcilable! Therefore, the most vicious way to attack a man is to sleep with his wife.
In his mind now, the scene of Li Jiamin in another man's bed was all in his mind, and his daughter's face was still lingering in his mind.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao!" Director Niu from the Party and Government Office outside called several times but Zhao Xiaobei didn't answer. Director Niu thought that today's announcement of the appointment had affected Zhao Xiaobei. He walked in specially and said, "Old Zhao, don't be discouraged. Everyone sees your work, and the deputy mayor will be yours sooner or later."
Only when Director Niu came to Zhao Xiaobei did he react.
"Old Zhao, you can go to the secretary's office later. The secretary has something to tell you."
"Oh, okay" Zhao Xiaobei replied expressionlessly.
Zhao Xiaobei got up and walked out the door. There were many colleagues in the corridor who greeted him. He paid no attention to any of them. Everyone thought this guy was unhappy with everyone because of the deputy mayor's affairs.
"Old Zhao, our town party committee and town government will see your work in our eyes and take it into our hearts. This time, you also know that I and the organization strongly recommend you to take over as the deputy mayor. You have also passed the democratic assessment. , the organizational department has also completed the inspection.
It's just that the final result was something I didn't expect. But don't lose heart. I specially reported it to the organization department for your matter. The Organization Department also stated that it would not let comrades who do hard work suffer. See what you think"
Zhao Xiaobei actually didn't listen at all. Now he no longer cares about the minor subjects or levels. He just wants to find out who slept with his wife and got a daughter out of her sleep!
Seeing that he was silent, Secretary Luo thought that the hurdle in his heart was still gone. I had no choice but to continue: "In view of your actual situation, I made a special report to the Organization Department, saying that you have worked diligently for twenty years and have a deep prestige among the masses.
We have to give you an explanation. This is irresponsible to our comrades. So I suggest that as the deputy of our town’s People’s Congress reaches his age soon, I recommend you to take over. The organization has also agreed. Since you have already gone through the process of democratic assessment and organizational inspection, I estimate that the appointment will be made soon. You still have to continue to work hard and make persistent efforts. Don’t let down the organization’s expectations.”
After the secretary finished speaking, he was still waiting for Zhao Xiaobei's gratitude. Unexpectedly, what came waiting for him was:
"Um"
Seeing Zhao Xiaobei's attitude, Secretary Luo had nothing to say. Signaling that he can go. He was not satisfied with Zhao Xiaobei's attitude in front of him.
It was entirely his own fault that Zhao Xiaobei was not promoted to deputy mayor. He had hinted several times that he should go to the Organization Department to run around, but every time he got nowhere. On the contrary, I went to the organization department several times for his matters.
But who would have thought that after Zhao Xiaobei had worked conscientiously for twenty years, no one in the county leaders had an impression of him. Naturally, the position of deputy mayor was snatched away by others. In the end, he fought hard to get him the position of deputy director. He didn't say a word of thanks. I really don’t know what Zhao Xiaobei is thinking. It’s no wonder he hasn’t been able to get up there for so many years.
Zhao Xiaobei was out of sorts all afternoon. Not doing any work, just sitting at the desk in a daze. The guy was also very sensible, so no one paid any attention to him. Wait until it's time to get off work.
Zhao Xiaobei picked up his briefcase, drove his little rickety car and rushed to his home in the county town. In the car, Zhao Xiaobei still had the same dull look on his face, and his mind was in chaos. One moment, the image of Li Jiamin crossed the screen, and the other, the image of "my daughter" flashed across the screen. Zhao Xiaobei, who had lost all energy, did not notice the red light in front of him when he passed the traffic light entering the city. We drove straight past, and at this moment, a garbage truck rushed out of the intersection on the right. In an instant, he hit Zhao Xiaobei's little broken car, and saw Zhao Xiaobei's little broken car flipping in the air. Zhao Xiaobei in the car was already awake at this time.
In the moment of life and death, everything experienced in this life appears in front of one's eyes like a movie. He also seemed to suddenly realize that all his failures in this life were caused by his own arrogance. If he could only learn to flatter others, he would be welcomed back.
Maybe his wife will not cheat on him, and his official career will be prosperous. All failures in this life will be transformed into successes. But there is no possibility, goodbye! As of today, there is nothing left in this world for me to miss. Even the daughter I am most proud of belongs to someone else.
Zhao Xiaobei also closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Zhao Xiaobei, Zhao Xiaobei! Why are you in a daze?"
Zhao Xiaobei suddenly stirred, and a white light flashed in front of his eyes. I opened my eyes and found that standing in front of me was Director Niu. Oh no, this is not Director Niu. This is Director Niu’s father, Secretary Niu! Didn’t Secretary Niu retire a long time ago? Moreover, Secretary Niu is 65 this year, and the person in front of him is only in his 40s at most. And although the surrounding office scene is that of my own office, it doesn't look like the current decoration. It looks like when I was just assigned, the windows were all wooden glass windows. The desk is also old-fashioned.
"I said Zhao Xiaobei, did you have a good rest while talking on the phone with your girlfriend yesterday?"
At this time, Zhao Xiaobei came to his senses. Am I reborn? God really gave me the opportunity to live two lives!
"I'm sorry, Secretary Niu. I really didn't have a good rest yesterday."
"Young people are good and have energy. But you can't just rely on your youth and not pay attention to your body."
These words no longer only concern Zhao Xiaobei, who has lived in two lifetimes. Another meaning of this is that you should not delay your work because of falling in love.
"Secretary Niu, I've written it down. I'll make sure to be careful next time so that my work won't be affected by my night's rest." As he spoke, he filled the teacup that Secretary Niu brought with him with hot water. Bring a stool for Secretary Niu to sit down.
Secretary Niu Qun was surprised by the young man's answer and his smooth movements. Today's college students are still smart, and he is worthy of being a top student in 985. He immediately looked at Zhao Xiaobei, who had just been assigned, in a new light.
