Li Lili left without even a word of farewell.
Zhou Yunzhen had no choice but to give up the idea of setting up ears and eyes in the Sixth Squadron.
Sitting in his office, bored and waiting for the call from his leader, he felt that things were quietly changing.
Zhou Yunzhen remembered a popular song "Look at the face of the moon". The moon's face was secretly changing.
Zhou Yunzhen waited for a long time, but there was still no news.
Instead, Cai Qichang, the director of the Correctional Services Office, arrived. He still had a smile on his face, but his smile didn't seem to be a flattering smile.
And the smile has become a professional habit, or it is a superficial smile but not a smile.
"Xiao Zhou!"
"Director Cai, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Yunzhen asked.
"Well, I see that this pot of clivia is much withered when it is placed on your desk. It doesn't have its original aura, and its faint fragrance is completely gone."
"Director Cai, this shows that I am not good at raising bonsai and other plants."
"Yes, this?" Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, rubbed his hands and hesitated, but the meaning he expressed was self-evident.
"Director Cai, I think it's best for the property to be returned to its original owner. Because you've raised this pot of Clivia until it's mature, and you know exactly when to add some nutrient solution to it and when to loosen the soil."
"But I am ignorant and careless. I don't understand the principles of caring for flowers, let alone how to add nutrient solution to them and when to loosen the soil."
"Putting it on my desk ruins it."
Cai Qichang, director of the correctional education office, laughed dryly and said, "Xiao Zhou, since I have already given this pot of clivia to you, it belongs to you. I can't take it back."
"I have no intention of coming back. This bonsai isn't worth much, it's just a trivial matter."
"It's just that you must return it to me. Seeing how sincere you are in returning this pot of Clivia, I, I, am really disrespectful."
"I have no choice but to accept it again. Otherwise, it will be a failure of your good intentions. Isn't it?"
"It's true." Zhou Yunzhen teased.
Before Zhou Yunzhen finished speaking, Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, immediately moved the pot of clivia on his desk to his desk.
"Xiao Zhou, can you go to Tianping Foreign Service Station to deliver documents to them now? Go back quickly, don't waste time." Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, seemed to be asking for opinions, but in fact he was making arrangements.
"Tianping Foreign Service Point" is a so-called production "base" nearly a hundred miles away from the labor reform detachment, and even fifty miles away from the Tenth Brigade.
Compared with the remote tenth team, it was a second place.
The "Tianping Foreign Service Point" manages more than 70 foreign prisoners. It is remote and desolate and is known as the "Siberia" of the labor reform detachment.
But it still belongs to the top ten teams.
It is managed by Jiang Lugui, a deputy captain of the Tenth Brigade who is about to retire. Usually the brigade leaders hold meetings to study and so on, but never inform the deputy captain Jiang Lugui of the "Tianping Foreign Service Point" because it is too far away.
Unless there is something that must be done, there will be no contact with that side, such as commutation and parole or circulating important documents.
It was a corner that seemed to be forgotten. Zhou Yunzhen worked there in his previous life.
Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Institution Office, pondered for a moment, "However, the three-wheeled motorcycle in the Correctional Education Office is under maintenance, so there is no car for you to drive there."
"Is that so? You go to the village below and contact us. There are motorcycle rentals there, so you can go there on the rental two-wheeled motorcycle. However, the cost of the ride may not be reimbursed for a while."
"The production efficiency of the brigade is not very good now, and it is unable to make ends meet. Reimbursement will be delayed. It can take as short as three to five months, or as long as a year and a half."
"Go now, we have to rush back today."
Zhou Yunzhen said calmly: "Okay! Just?"
"Just what?"
"I just need to trouble Director Cai." Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, was worried. What kind of trick is this kid trying to play?
"What's the trouble with me?"
"Please tell me, Director Cai, that you have arranged for me to deliver documents to the Tianping Foreign Service Station, so I cannot wait here for notification."
"Who told you to talk?"
"Who else? Team leader! Don't you know? You have always had a keen sense of smell." Zhou Yunzhen pretended to be surprised.
"I, I just came from the leader, don't you know? Who did you listen to?"
"Director Li from the General Affairs Office. Didn't you see her just now?"
"Director Li from the General Office? I just met her, and she didn't say anything about this." Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Institution Office, asked suspiciously.
"Didn't you just go out when you saw her? She informed me of this incident after you went out."
"How about you go to her office again and verify it?"
"Oh, no, no!"
Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Education Office, took a breath and said, "Then you should wait for the leader to summon you now. I just have something to say during this free time."
"What words?"
"It's like this. From now on, our correctional office will have a deputy director. This, this?"
Zhou Yunzhen understood his intention, "Director Cai, I know what you mean, you want me to move out, right?"
"Well, there's no way around it. Because, because you haven't become a full-time official yet and you work in the same office as me, you have an unfair reputation and a lot of complaints from the public."
"Okay, where should I move my desk?" Zhou Yunzhen said.
"Let's see. You move to the criminal records management room first and work together with Zou Southeast. Give him a hand and sort out the files."
"Okay, I have no objection. Do you want to move now?" Zhou Yunzhen said calmly.
Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Education Office, was a little surprised. This boy was so far behind, yet he was still so calm? It's a bit incredible.
"No, this is just my personal opinion. I don't know if the leader has other arrangements for you, so I think it's better to wait for the leader's decision."
"I'm doing this for your own good, lest I just move my office and then have to move it again. Wouldn't it be unnecessary? Let's wait until the dust settles!"
"That's fine!"
"There's one more thing." Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, said.
"What else?"
"I was in the leader's office just now. Leader, let me, let me?"
"What do I want you to do?"
"The leader said he lost his jeep key. He said you have a backup here. He asked me to find you to get the backup key and return it to him."
"Did Captain Zheng give you the order?"
"Don't ask about this, just give me the key." Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, said noncommittally.
Zhou Yunzhen said: "If you don't tell me, I plan to return it to Captain Zheng. If you return it on my behalf, well, it will save me trouble."
After that, Zhou Yunzhen took out the key from his body and gave it to Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Education Office.
"Director Cai, don't you have to go to Captain Zheng's office to hand over the keys now? Can you ask me how long the leader wants me to wait before he can see me?"
Cai Qichang, director of the Correctional Services Office, said with a cold expression: "Return the key? I'll go right away. As for how long you have to wait, that depends on the leader's mood. I can't control it, and it's hard to ask."
"Don't make this difficult for me. If you want to ask, just ask Li Lili. She informed you of this."
After saying that, Cai Qichang, the director of the correctional education office, walked out the door without even looking at him or Zhou Yunzhen.
