The day after Chen Shaoping came to work at the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, Huo Zhenghua, deputy director of the County Party Committee Office, walked into Chen Shaoping's office with a pale face.
Chen Shaoping was startled when he saw Huo Zhenghua's appearance. He quickly asked Huo Zhenghua to sit down and immediately made Huo Zhenghua a cup of tea.
"Bureau Chen, they are going to send me to Dongshan Township!"
After Huo Zhenghua said this, his eyes turned red and tears fell.
Any cadre who is transferred to Dongshan Township can be said to be assigned! Dongshan Township is really too remote. It is more than 120 kilometers away from Cangyang County. Nearly 40 kilometers of the roads are Mao Road and winding mountain roads. It takes almost four hours to get from Cangyang County to Dongshan Township. time, during which time we have to pass through Renli Town.
When he was in the Agricultural Bureau, Chen Shaoping was almost sent to Dongshan Township. At that time, he really felt like he was hopeless.
Therefore, Chen Shaoping can completely understand Huo Zhenghua's mood at this time.
"Zhenghua, a man who bleeds and sheds tears is not allowed to cry!"
As if coaxing a child, Chen Shaoping gave Huo Zhenghua a tissue and asked him to wipe away his tears.
Huo Zhenghua just wiped away his tears and cursed unwillingly: "They are so bullying... these bastards!" Another tear fell down in anger.
"What position did you take in Dongshan Township this time?" Chen Shaoping asked.
"Be the township chief!" Huo Zhenghua said angrily.
"Being a township head is also a leadership position!" Chen Shaoping continued to comfort Huo Zhenghua.
"But, but... Director Chen, you know that no matter what position you hold in Dongshan Township, you will be exiled! It is impossible to come back!" Huo Zhenghua said angrily.
Chen Shaoping knew that Huo Zhenghua was telling the truth, but Chen Shaoping could not follow Huo Zhenghua's words.
"Zhenghua, this is not certain. Look, Zhou Hua just counterattacked from the position of Dongshan Township Party Committee Secretary. He can do it, and so can you!" Chen Shaoping said.
Huo Zhenghua sighed, "Bureau Chen, I hold Ma Bin's thigh tightly, but I am Secretary Li's secretary..."
At this point, Huo Zhenghua couldn't help but complain: "Secretary Li really... left quietly and ignored those of us around us... We can only be slaughtered by others!" At this point , Huo Zhenghua took a serious look at Chen Shaoping's office.
I couldn't help but feel sad when I looked at it, because Chen Shaoping's office was old enough and experienced enough... It was probably the oldest and worst office in the entire Cangyang County.
Huo Zhenghua couldn't help but feel sad, feeling quite sad that "we are all the same people in the world".
"Perhaps Secretary Li also has his own difficulties!" Chen Shaoping shook his head gently.
"Bureau Chen, I don't want to do this anymore, but I don't know what I can do!" Huo Zhenghua said with emotion.
"In an economically underdeveloped place like Cangyang, civil servants are still the best profession, bar none!" Chen Shaoping advised.
"Zhenghua, you'd better go to Dongshan Township and become the mayor. The new county magistrate hasn't arrived yet. Maybe the new county magistrate is our chance to turn around!" Chen Shaoping comforted Huo Zhenghua.
"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Huo Zhenghua shook his head feebly, "We all have too obvious labels, and the new leaders will basically not use our..."
"You can't say something so absolute. Believe in yourself, everything is possible!" Chen Shaoping patted Huo Zhenghua on the shoulder and continued: "You go to Dongshan Township to practice hard. When the time comes, no matter who turns up, we will help each other. There’s always a chance to get out of trouble!”
Huo Zhenghua sighed again before feebly leaving Chen Shaoping's office.
Looking at Huo Zhenghua's lonely back, Chen Shaoping felt very uncomfortable.
The Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs is really an idle department. Deputy Director Zhou Yong plays chess on the computer all day long. Office Director Huang Cuiying spends all day researching how to lose weight and taking various weight loss pills. All other staff members only have a pair of headphones. Watch Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, American dramas...
When you come to the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, you have to eat by yourself. There is no canteen here. Everyone yawned and went home as soon as they got off work. They didn't report to work until three o'clock in the afternoon. They packed up their things and started going home around four-thirty...
It is said that the County CPPCC and the County People's Congress are good places for cadres to retire. Chen Shaoping thinks that the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau is more suitable for retirement than the County People's Congress and the CPPCC.
However, the County People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference not only have less affairs, but also have good treatment. They are not comparable to Qingshui Yamen like the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau.
During lunch time, Chen Shaoping had a bowl of rice noodles at the Zhongshan Midi Chicken Rice Noodle Shop, and was not going to go to the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau office in the afternoon.
But there was no good place to go unless he went to the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau office. Chen Shaoping thought about it and thought of Mr. Deng, No. 18 Fenghuang New Village.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, why not go find Mr. Deng to tell your fortune, even if it is just a simple chat, it would be good.
Remembering the last time Mr. Deng directly asked for money, Chen Shaoping went directly to the bank and took out two thousand yuan in cash and took it with him.
Fenghuang New Village is said to be a new village, but in fact it is an old village, and its name has been used for more than 20 years... This is a small terraced courtyard, and No. 18 is in the second row.
Chen Shaoping knocked on the door, and Mr. Deng's angry voice came from inside: "Come in, the door is not closed!"
Chen Shaoping opened the door and went in. What he saw was a small yard covering an area of about 20 square meters. The small yard was filled with all kinds of waste cardboard, empty beverage bottles... It looked a bit like a garbage dump.
There is a flower bed against the wall in the yard, with an osmanthus tree planted in it.
Mr. Deng was sitting at the door of the room on the north side, wearing a piece of clothing and sitting on a small stool. There was a wooden chair in front of him. Mr. Deng seemed to be using the wooden chair as a desk.
There was a yellowed book and a pencil stub on the chair.
Mr. Deng, with white beard and hair and a red face, was looking at Chen Shaoping with a smile.
"Mr. Deng, I'm here to tell your fortune!" Chen Shaoping said with a smile.
Mr. Deng nodded and handed Chen Shaoping a small bench. Then he picked up the yellowed book from the chair and opened a few pages to the front. There were several symbols drawn in pencil on it, with the word "sex" scrawled next to it.
"Can you see clearly?" Mr. Deng asked.
Chen Shaoping took it and looked at it carefully. The handwriting on it was not only scrawled, but also written in pencil with very faint handwriting.
"Chen, Shenri, Weishi, come!" Chen Shaoping read out the clearly visible words in front of him.
Mr. Deng said with a smile on his face, "You are indeed here!"
"This Chen, refers to me?" Chen Shaoping was surprised.
Mr. Deng nodded, immediately took out a perpetual calendar, and then pulled out the date and time.
"Today is the 25th, Renshen day, and it is now 1:45, Ding Weishi, which is exactly the Shen day and Weishi I wrote above!"
