Life is more than just living

When she went to work on Monday, Chen Xu could clearly feel Wang Ran's unfriendliness, but she was mentally prepared. Before, everyone maintained a superficial peace, but Wang Ran was so smart that he thought Chen Xu was a fool. When Wang Ran went out to fetch water, he would deliberately say to Gao Jiaqi in front of Chen Xu: "Jiaqi, drink some water, and I will fetch it for you." The attempt to win over was too explicit. Chen Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He felt that Wang Ran's behavior was too childish and he didn't have the same experience as her at all, but other people in the office saw the clue.

One day, Li Chang asked Chen Xu to go out with her to do errands. On the way, Li Chang said, "Chen Xu, have you noticed that Wang Ran's attitude towards you has changed now?" Chen Xu nodded, "Yes, because she was She asked me to work overtime for her, so I went back to Beicheng to see my grandma, but I didn’t help her, so I got angry.”

Li Chang said while driving: "In the next few days, several civil servants will take up their posts one after another. I have already mentioned it to Zhang Jian. I don't want to keep Wang Ran anymore. Let her go to another department! She is only 28 years old. You can't be such a sneaky person at the age of nine! The leader also agreed, and if someone else comes in, he will be transferred to another department. I will transfer this person to another department. I don't want it anyway, out of sight, out of mind."

Chen Xu was surprised that a new employee was rejected by the department leader before his probation period had passed. This was a very serious problem. At a red light intersection, Li Chang looked at the red light and said irritably: "Oh, now there are three offices in our department, and only two of us can work. Gao Jiaqi is just a decoration, and a smelly fish is stirring up the pot. Wang Ran Just like her, these two old comrades don't know how to use computers. They are older than me and are about to retire. I can't help them work. Alas, I'm menopausal now, which is very annoying. Chen Xu, you It made me worry less when I came here and it helped me a lot.”

Chen Xu said modestly: "Director Li, you are very grateful. This is my normal job." Li Chang turned to look at Chen Xu approvingly and said: "Chen Xu, you are different from many young people nowadays. You are a bit like the people of our time, who think that newcomers should work seriously and work more. Nowadays, many young people don’t think so. In fact, there are many like Wang Ran. Originally, I wanted to tolerate her, after all, she is a newcomer She was kicked out of the department when she just arrived at a unit and before the probation period passed. It didn't have a good impact on her, but I really can't stand this kind of person. Do you know why I reminded you not to help her the day before yesterday and a few days ago? ?"

While talking, the car in front finally moved, and Li Chang drove quickly. After a few minutes, Li Chang spoke again, "On the day you went to the finals of the knowledge competition, I gave her the work tasks, but the whole day passed, and the files were left on the table without even being moved. She was chatting with Gao Jiaqi about food there. Manicure. When she was about to get off work, I asked her how the work was done? She said it was not finished yet, so I told her it must be completed on Saturday. Gao Jiaqi gloated and joked that you have to work overtime tomorrow, right? Unexpectedly, Wang Ran secretly said Gao Jiaqi said: If I work overtime, if she is willing to show her willingness to work overtime, let her do it. She thought I was in the office and couldn’t hear her. I didn’t expect that a young man could be so shameless. As an older person, as a department Leader, I shouldn't tell you this, but I really can't stand her, and our other two old comrades also despise people like her, who have evil intentions at a young age. If I were to look at my character when I was young, she would try If I don't give her a good evaluation when the term expires, it will directly lead to her canceling the employment. But now that I am older and soft-hearted, it is quite difficult to take the civil service exam now. She also took the exam for several years and finally passed it. I also I don’t want to ruin other people’s jobs. Anyway, my temple is small and I can’t support this great deity, so I have to ask her to walk.”

Chen Xu didn't know what to say for a moment, so she lowered her head and fell silent.

Li Chang continued to praise Chen Xu, "Chen Xu, to be honest, your way of treating others is indeed commendable." Chen Xu said sincerely: "Director Li, I may be a special case. I have been with my grandma since I was a child, and the living conditions are It’s very hard, so I wholeheartedly hope to have a stable job, so I cherish this job even more. Another reason is that Teacher Lin in my elementary school taught me many principles of life. She told me that I should be diligent in doing things. , Be conscientious and down-to-earth, I always remember Teacher Lin’s words.

Li Chang suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road and turned to look at Chen Xu, "By the way, you are from Beicheng, right? Which Teacher Lin?" Chen Xu was asked inexplicably, but he still answered honestly, "Eight Little Teacher Lin Pei." Li Chang suddenly grabbed Chen Xu's hand, "What a coincidence that you are Teacher Lin's student. Teacher Lin also taught me. But I only taught for one year, and Teacher Lin just assigned me When I was in the eighth grade, I had just entered the sixth grade. So Teacher Lin taught me for one year, but we liked her very much. She was very young at that time. Speaking of which, this happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, Teacher Lin was only 20 How old.”

Chen Xu also felt very cordial, "I didn't expect that the two of us are schoolmates. According to martial arts movies, you should be considered my senior sister!" Li Chang smiled, "That's right, so don't call me Director Li in the future. Just call me Sister Li!" Chen Xu joked: "Sister Li, do you remember that when I went to work on the first day, you asked me if I was from Beicheng, but you never mentioned that you were from Beicheng too. Today When you talk about Teacher Lin, you suddenly lose your composure. Is this the influence of Teacher Lin's personality charm?"

Li Chang said with a smile: "Beicheng is so close to Longcheng. The two places are so closely connected. It is not unusual to meet people from Beicheng in Longcheng. But it is different if they are all students of Teacher Lin. This is so much What a coincidence."

"By the way, I also know a secret about Teacher Lin, let me share it with you." Li Chang said cheerfully: "Our prosecutor general Lin Feng is a relative of Teacher Lin, and seems to be her brother. In the past few years, there was Once, Teacher Lin came to the Procuratorate to see Inspector Lin. Inspector Lin was still the Deputy Prosecutor General at that time. But later I heard from my classmates in Beicheng that Teacher Lin was no longer around. She was not very old at the time, about the same age as I am now. It’s a pity, so much What a good man, it’s a pity that he died young.”

Chen Xu nodded, "Yes, Teacher Lin is such a good person but she is not favored by fate. Maybe heaven also needs a teacher as good as her! Originally, I didn't even go to school. My parents didn't care about me, and my grandma didn't support going to school. Teacher Lin pulled me out of the garbage pit and led me to sign up. She not only taught me knowledge, but also taught me the principles of life and cultivated my ability to live. Without Teacher Lin, I would not be where I am today. Speaking of Lin Pei , Li Chang also lamented, "We students all follow the teacher's teachings: be honest and work diligently, but unfortunately her son deviated from the teacher's teachings. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a gangster." "

Chen Xu asked in surprise: "What did you say, gangster? Who? Lin Zhiyuan?" Li Chang nodded, "Yeah, who else besides him? I heard that he studied law. He studied law when he was in college. A top student in the Department of Law. Maybe it’s because he studied law. This guy is good at playing side games. He has been prosperous in Dragon City for ten years and has countless properties. There are rumors that he is the real richest man in Dragon City. . These years have been particularly prosperous, alas, what a pity."

Chen Xu sighed and said, "I went to sweep Teacher Lin's grave a few days ago, and I saw him in the cemetery. He should also go to sweep Teacher Lin's grave." Li Chang looked at Chen Xu more approvingly, "You also went to visit Teacher Lin. Are you sweeping the grave? You are really good. Chen Xu, I liked you since the first time we met. You are a good young man, do a good job." Chen Xu nodded, "Thank you, Sister Li!"

Li Chang smiled, "You are so polite, we are from the same school." As he said this, both of them burst into laughter. Li Chang said: "It is your blessing to meet Teacher Lin. Although Teacher Lin only taught me for one year, I also feel that I have benefited a lot. You have been in Teacher Lin's class for so many years, so you have become a better person." Chen Xu is still very modest, "I am still far from Teacher Lin's standards, and I still need to continue to work hard."

Li Changqu said disapprovingly: "You are many times better than Wang Ran who came in at the same time." Chen Xu quickly said: "Sister Li, please don't say that. She may have just entered the workplace and is not used to it yet, right? Li Chang said: "I gave her more than two months to adapt to whether she can adapt to it or not. To this day, she has not recognized her position and is still here every day to do tricks and tricks. I can't do that." Let her go." Seeing Li Chang's firm attitude, Chen Xu's family stopped talking about this topic.

The two of them were students taught by the same teacher, and their relationship became much closer unconsciously. As soon as Li Chang relaxed, he revealed a common problem among aunts of this age. "Have you had a partner yet?" Chen Xu didn't hide it from her, "I had you in college before, but after I came back, we broke up due to various reasons." Li Chang said enthusiastically Said: "What do you want, list the conditions, and I will help you audition."

Chen Xu smiled, "Sister Li, what are you talking about? I'm not a princess, how can I be chosen? I have to let it go." Li Chang said with hatred, "You silly girl, what are your conditions?" How great! Think about it: you are so beautiful, graduated from a prestigious school, and are a civil servant in the Procuratorate. These are your advantages." Chen Xu was a little unconfident, "Sister Li, why don't I think you have so many advantages? Besides, whether you look good or not is a matter of opinion. Everyone has different visions and there is no unified standard."

Li Chang said: You are so dazzlingly beautiful that you don't even know it. Chen Xu disagreed and said: "I think there is really no fixed standard for beauty and ugliness. Maybe you think I am good-looking, but some people may not think so." For example, Wang Ran and Gao Jiaqi don't like me. Li Chang smiled, "They don't like you because they are jealous of you." Being jealous of you means that they know that you are good-looking, and they also know that you are right to work seriously. They are not as good-looking as you, and they don't want to work seriously, so they reject you so much. "

Li Chang is a resolute person, and Wang Ran was transferred to other departments the next day. Gao Jiaqi didn't dare to go too far when she saw Li Chang using thunderous methods.

Gao Jiaqi has worked hard, and the burden on Chen Xu's shoulders has become lighter. The only confusion now is that Yan Donglin often comes to see Chen Xu, which makes Chen Xu very uncomfortable. Yan Donglin had a bad reputation in the procuratorate. Most people regarded him as a playboy. Li Chang even felt that Yan Donglin was a complete scumbag and a scum who played with women. He reminded Chen Xu overtly and covertly not to be fooled. Yan Donglin sent small gifts to Chen Xu from time to time, but all of them were rejected without exception. Unexpectedly, this aroused Yan Donglin's desire to conquer. He was the object of pursuit before, but now that Chen Xu has hit the wall, he obviously doesn't want to give up just like that. So he accelerated his pursuit, and even Liu Yun, the aunt in the cafeteria, noticed it.

One day after dinner, Liu Yun stayed with Chen Xu to chat for a while as usual. She asked with concern whether Chen Xu was dating Yan Donglin. Chen Xu quickly shook his head and said: "It's nothing. He does have intentions in this regard, but I have clearly rejected him." Unexpectedly, Liu Yun said: "That kid is actually pretty good. He and my girl were in junior high school and high school. My classmate had good academic performance and his family had some money. At that time, this child was a top student and did not have the bad habits of the rich second generation. Later, after he graduated, he went directly to our procuratorate. When his father was happy, he rewarded him with a car. As a result, This car caused trouble. Now this young man knows that the car is not cheap. To be honest, no one in our procuratorate drives a car as expensive as his. It seems that it is not a big deal for those rich families to drive a car worth 80 million, but It's a bit ostentatious for an organization like ours to drive such an expensive car. He also attracted some people's attention because of this, and many girls took the initiative to pursue him, so he caused a lot of trouble later. This kid is not bad at heart, and there are no big crowds. What he said is so fancy. Moreover, their family is quite rich, and his parents are serious business people. If you don't have a partner, you can consider him." Master Lu nodded in agreement.

Chen Xu didn't expect that Liu Yun and his wife would speak so highly of Yan Donglin. However, Chen Xu was really intimidated by rich people, so she declined with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Liu, but I don't want to date someone for the time being. I have just come to the unit and I am new to many jobs. It is quite difficult to do it, so I can't be distracted." Go do something else." Liu Yun didn't force it, he just said: "Everyone can see that Yan Donglin is pursuing you. I'm afraid that you will miss a good marriage because of the bad rumors before, so I remind you, if you I don’t have that intention, and Auntie won’t force it.” Chen Xu smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you Aunt Liu, I know you are the best to me.” Chen Xu discovered that the better everyone treated her, the more she behaved Like a child, sometimes she would regret it. If she had been more coquettish to her grandma after her mother left when she was a child, she might have been completely different. Forget it, don't think about things that are in the past anymore.

Yan Donglin's pursuit offensive has been very fierce. Chen Xu was so disturbed that he had to turn to Li Chang for help. Li Changyi said to Yan Donglin sternly: "Comrade Xiao Yan, what you are doing now has seriously interfered with the normal work of our department. Please do not set foot in our office again unless there is nothing wrong." Chen Xu on the one hand I was very grateful to my senior sister for helping me. I snickered on the other hand: Senior sister turns out to be so cute, and she is so confident in pretending to be a public servant.

Yan Donglin was embarrassed to set foot in the office of the Political Department from now on, but soon the cafeteria became his main position. Chen Xu returned to the dormitory after get off work. The women's dormitory was a relatively private place and men were not allowed to set foot there. I can't go to the office anymore, and now the only place left is the canteen. Usually, Yan Donglin only eats breakfast and lunch here, but now he eats three meals a day in the cafeteria. Every time he must follow Chen Xu with a dinner plate and must sit with her. Chen Xu sighed, even Li Chang was helpless now. No one can stop Yan Donglin from eating there. The young people are whispering to each other, some are happy to see the success, and some are eating at the same time.

Chen Xu was really annoyed. When Han Yidao chased her, he didn't have this kind of trouble at all. But now it's different. The two of them work in the same building, and they never see each other when they look up. Chen Xu had a headache and didn't know who to ask for advice. Now she often talks about her innermost thoughts to three people: Li Chang, Liu Yun and Liu Jingsheng, but she dare not tell Liu Jingsheng. After getting along for a long time, Chen Xu discovered that Liu Jingsheng really regarded her as a sister, and Liu Jingsheng was a proper sister-control brother, so she didn't dare to tell him at all.
