Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

Everyone understood that as a cadre, Xia Shuo did not need to suffer this kind of hardship, but in order to go to the south to sell pine mushrooms in exchange for funds, he had to travel far away from home at a young age.

Since ancient times, people's hearts have changed.

Looking at the reluctant eyes of the villagers, Xia Shuo felt an inexplicable heaviness in his chest. He took a deep breath, waved to everyone from a distance, and deliberately laughed heartily: "Go back, everyone go back. Don’t worry, everyone, I will definitely succeed on this trip.”

When I come back, I will definitely bring back the funds.

Minister Mei stood among the crowd of people and watched Xia Shuo leave with the motorcade.

In a daze, Minister Mei's eyes flashed with tenderness, as if muttering to himself, he whispered softly: "If my brother is still alive, he should be like him."

This year, 1, Xia Shuo, who was only 1990 years old, as a national cadre, embarked on a journey to alleviate poverty for the people.

He wants to travel thousands of miles to sell pine mushrooms in big cities in the south.

One appointment as an official will bring benefit to one party.

Although he is not a real official yet, the villagers already regard him as a parent official.

……

This time when he went to the south, Xia Shuo chose Guangyue.

Since the old man drew a circle on the edge of the South China Sea, reform and opening up has been carried out in China for ten years. The economy in the north has not yet developed, but the economy in the south has been booming.

For example, in the city of Guangdong, the number of rich people has slowly begun to increase. Although there have not yet been billionaires, households worth 10 yuan or [-] yuan are not uncommon.

Even millionaires can occasionally be seen in newspapers.

Xia Shuo chose Guangyue for two reasons:

First, this city has a very unique historical tradition. What it is, it is a love of food. The so-called east, west, south, east, middle, go to Guangdong to get rich. In fact, there is another saying, if you want to eat good food, you should go to Guangdong.

Since there is a tradition of loving food here, it is easier to sell food-related ingredients, and Xia Shuo is eager to obtain funds to bring back, so the best choice is naturally Guangdong.

Secondly, this city is at the forefront of reform and opening up. Not only have rich people with 2 yuan, 10 yuan or even one million yuan appeared early, but most ordinary citizen families also have some spare money.

Having spare money means that a family has spending power. Spending power is very important and means that it can sell pine mushrooms quickly.

In fact, at the beginning, Minister Mei's advice to Xia Shuo was to go to the capital. But Xia Shuo finally chose Guangyue for the sake of speed.

The journey from Qingshan Township to Guangyue is more than 3500 miles. For such a long journey, you can only take a train. Trains in this era already had sleeper cars, but Xia Shuo chose the cheap green leather car.

Although he is a member of the poverty alleviation team, all travel expenses can be reimbursed for business trips. Even the transportation costs of 25000 kilograms of pine mushrooms can also be reimbursed under poverty alleviation expenses. But Xia Shuo knows very well that he is not here to enjoy the blessings. He must not spend the travel expenses that the common people have raised for him...

If you can save, you will save.

……

Green cars are very slow and hard to ride. However, many young cadres chose to resist the hardships of that era.

After two days and one night, we finally arrived in Guangdong.

The prosperous Guangyue Railway Station exudes the atmosphere of the forefront of reform. As far as the eye can see, the flow of people is like the tide, and the dark crowds include tourists from all over the country.

Xia Shuo tucked his briefcase under his arm and tried his best to squeeze forward slowly among the crowd.

It took more than ten minutes to finally squeeze out of the station. I saw the tidal flow of people turning into a trickling stream, continuously spreading into all directions and integrating into the city.

Xia Shuo did not leave immediately, but turned around and walked into the station again. However, this time he was no longer walking through the passenger passage, but another passage with the words "for consignment only" written on it.

Compared to the passenger passage just now, the freight passage here was not crowded. However, when he arrived at the pick-up window, he discovered that there was actually a dark crowd here.

Xia Shuo looked at the dark crowd and found that everyone was holding a consignment note in their hands. There was already a long queue in front of the window. Anyone who tried to jump in line would be glared and cursed.

It was the transition between summer and autumn, and the weather was as hot and muggy as a furnace. Xia Shuo felt like he was sweating all over, and his shirt was already wet and clinging to his body.

Queuing in this kind of environment is simply a kind of suffering, but Xia Shuo has no other choice but to obediently line up behind queue 1 and move forward slowly.

Suddenly, at this moment, a beautiful girl came over with a mysterious look on her face, and asked him in a low voice: "Pretty boy, do you want to get fucked?"

Pretty boy?

Gasai?

Xia Shuo was startled for a moment, then with a vigilant face, he asked: "Can I block the way in a place like this? Hundreds of people can scold me to death, right? What do you do? Is there some internal connection..."

The beautiful girl chuckled and lowered her voice again: "Don't worry about whether I have internal connections or not, and don't ask me about any special methods I use. In short, I only want to ask you one thing. Do you want to finish the matter early?"

Seeing that she was confident in what she said, Xia Shuo immediately guessed that this woman must be related, and quickly said: "As long as you can help, of course I am willing to step in."

He suddenly stopped here, remembering the most critical question, and hurriedly said: "How to calculate the cost? I can't afford it."

The beautiful girl did not answer directly, but first looked at Xia Shuo's clothes, and then asked: "How many goods did you consign? I charge according to the consigned quantity. If it is a valuable item, an additional 1 point will be charged. "

Xia Shuo took out the consignment note from his bag and said truthfully: "The total is only 25000 kilograms, and the list says 12.5 tons."

The beautiful girl asked: "Is it a valuable item?"

Xia Shuo shook his head hurriedly and smiled deliberately: "Why are they so expensive? They are all worthless mountain goods."

However, the girl had a look of disbelief, her eyes kept turning, and she said very shrewdly: "Goods are expensive when they leave their hometown, but people are cheap when they leave their hometown. Since you have shipped mountain goods from a long way away, then the value of this thing will definitely not be the same." too cheap."

Seeing how shrewd she was, Xia Shuo had no choice but to sigh and said: "We are very poor there, and the people's life is too hard. These mushrooms are all picked in the mountains, and they were brought here to sell them for some money."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl and said sincerely: "As for its price, I actually don't know. Because I am not a businessman, but a poverty alleviation cadre in the village."

"This is my first time in Guangdong. Selling mushrooms is my mission to change people's livelihood and lead people out of poverty."

"Girl, now you understand, if the fee you want is too high, I really can't afford the money."

"Actually, it's not that I can't afford it, but I'm reluctant to pay it. Because every penny I spend is money for people in my hometown to get rid of poverty."

When Xia Shuo said this, his face became more sincere and he said again: "We are really poor there."

The beautiful girl's eyes kept flashing, apparently analyzing whether Xia Shuo had lied. After a long while, she questioned again and said, "You look so young, you don't look like a government cadre!"

Xia Shuo took out his work ID, then took out the letter of introduction with the official seal, and asked: "This thing can't be fake, right?"

Unexpectedly, the girl curled her lips, shook her head and said: "In this era, who still goes out with a letter of introduction? A work permit is meaningless, you can get one for 5 yuan."

Xia Shuo opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Isn't this illegal?"

His reaction was so strong that the girl smiled instead and said with a firm tone: "It seems that it is really your first time to come to the south, and you really don't understand the city of Guangdong. In this day and age, everything is about money, as long as you can make it Money, there are so many people who break the law and go to jail.”

"Okay, I believe you are a poverty alleviation cadre."

"For the sake of your benefit to the people in your hometown, I can give you a 7% discount on the fee."

The girl said this, but Xia Shuo couldn't understand it and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What does 7% off mean?"

In the early 9s, this term was not yet popular in the north. The girl immediately smiled again and explained: "The 1% discount means that I take the initiative to lower the price. I originally charged you 7 yuan but now I only charge you 1 cents. Do you understand?"

Xia Shuo nodded quickly.

But the girl took out a calculator from her pocket, pressed it a few times, and then said: "The goods you are transporting are mountain goods, with a total weight of 1 kilograms. It is equivalent to 25000 tons, and the charge is 12.5 yuan per ton."

Xia Shuo's eyes widened and his voice became trembling: "It's so expensive? 1 yuan for 100 ton? Did you make a mistake, girl? I just asked you to help add stuff."

Unexpectedly, the girl gouged out his eyes and said with a slight displeasure: "Since I charge you this money, there must be a reason for charging it. You are from the north and do not understand the service concept of the south. Let me tell you this, The services I provide are definitely worth the money.”

Xia Shuo frowned and complained: "No service can be so expensive! At your price, I have to pay you more than 1200 yuan... Forget it, I will queue up myself."

The girl chuckled and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. Let me tell you about the secrets here, okay?"

Xia Shuo pondered for a moment, thinking that idleness was idleness. Even if he had decided not to queue up anymore, he didn't stop listening to what this woman had to say.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, just tell me."

The girl did not speak immediately, but stretched out her hand to gently tug him and whispered: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk in the corner."

Xia Shuo shook his head quickly and said, "That's not possible. I have to line up here. If I go to the corner with you, I will have to line up again when I come back."

The girl smiled again and whispered again: "Don't worry, I promise you won't come back to queue again. After listening to my service content, you will definitely pay willingly."

Seeing that she was so confident, Xia Shuo couldn't help but feel strong curiosity in his heart. After thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, at worst I'll waste a little time."

The girl dragged him away from Team 5.

……

A moment later, a corner.

I saw the girl holding out a finger and said: "First of all, let me ask you the first thing: If you queue up by yourself and go to the window to receive the consignment, then after you finish, what are you going to do next? ?”

Xia Shuo almost didn't think about it, and replied blurt out: "Do you need to ask? Of course I will bring the goods to sell."

The girl smiled and said, "Can you guarantee that all the goods will be sold within one day?"

Xia Shuo was stunned!

The girl didn't give him time to think at all, and continued: "If you can't guarantee to sell the goods in one day, then what should you do with these 1 kilograms of wild goods? You can't put them on the street, you have to find a warehouse. Save it?"

Xia Shuo was stunned and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Yes, we have to find the warehouse."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he realized what service the girl was talking about, and quickly asked: "Does the fee you charge include helping me arrange the warehouse?"

The girl nodded and whispered: "I can let you use the warehouse at the train station, and no one will ask you to charge for it within ten days. How about it? Is this service worth it?"

Xia Shuo took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "You can call the warehouse at the train station. It seems that there is an internal relationship."

The girl interrupted him directly and said suggestively: "Since I am eating this bowl of rice at the station, I naturally have a way to eat this bowl of rice."

Xia Shuo interrupted her in turn, deliberately pretending to feel sorry for spending the money, and said: "Although you have an internal access, the fee is still a bit expensive."

The girl suddenly smiled slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the platform not far away, and said: "Since I charge you a fee, the services I provide must be more than these. For example, the loading, unloading and transportation of the station workers, I will also help you with this matter. If you go to the stevedores yourself, you won’t get your load before dark.”

"Another example is when you come to Guangyue for the first time and are unfamiliar with the place, but your eyesight is dark. I can tell you where is the best place to sell goods, and I can also remind you how to prevent being cheated."

"Little handsome boy, the south is different from the north."

"Reform and opening up has been going on for ten years, and money is everywhere here. Some people just want to make money and don't care about breaking the law. If you are not careful, you will definitely be defrauded of all your goods."

"Although my fee is a little more expensive, it can help you adapt to this city as quickly as possible and solve your difficulties through my services. Do you know what this is called? This is what the newspapers call a win-win situation!"

Win-win?

Xia Shuo couldn't help but taste this word.

Inexplicably, there seemed to be an aura of being at the forefront of reform, and he was deeply touched.

At this moment, Xia Shuo had a vague realization. It turned out that the prosperity of the South was not just about money. In the ups and downs of the reform tide, advanced ideas had been formed here. It was precisely because of this idea that the South was far away from the country. beyond the north.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but picture his hometown in front of his eyes. Although the people in my hometown are good-natured, they lack the spirit of striving for excellence.

Therefore, if we want to get rid of the poverty in our hometown and make the people in our hometown rich, I am afraid it is not just as simple as developing some poverty alleviation industries, but also to change the backward thinking of the people in our hometown.

There is a long way to go in this matter, and it is impossible to implement this political idea unless a high-ranking official with great power.

At this moment, Xia Shuo suddenly longed for promotion.

He longed to be able to hold great power and have the power to govern.
