Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

The rich rural households of that era did not make their fortunes by being unkind, but by being diligent and capable, coupled with hard work and frugality, so they saved some family property and lived a life ahead of others.

But their hearts are still kind.

Xia Shuo borrowed a fire from them, lit the cigarette, took a slight puff, and tried not to cough.

He pretended that he knew how to smoke, but Gu Mingyue had already noticed.

The girl curled her lips quietly, but she didn't reveal it or even stop her. Instead, she said something cooperatively and pretended to warn him: "Smoking less, it's not good for your health."

Xia Shuo laughed and took the opportunity to say: "This is a good cigarette from a wealthy family in the countryside. I must smoke one to taste it." Changing his tone, he pretended to be curious and asked: "Is the tractor fast? How many hours can it last?" Go back to Qingshan Township?”

The glory of the three wealthy families was all on the tractor. Hearing this, they couldn't help but show off, and said anxiously: "This is a Shanghai brand tractor. It can't drive at a speed that can be matched by a car. At most two You can definitely get home within hours.”

"Okay!" Xia Shuo clapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Since it's so fast, I'll just ride on this with everyone. I grew up poor and have always been envious of tractors. Today I finally have a chance and I must try this guy. "

The three rich people were surprised and happy, their big mouths opened and they kept laughing.

Next to the car not far away, several Agricultural Bureau cadres looked at each other. One of them looked a little ugly and couldn't help but whispered: "What does this mean? You don't sit in the car without sitting in it? Does he really think he is a person?" ? Do you really think anyone can ride on the Agricultural Bureau’s special car?”

Several other cadres looked at him, each sighed softly, and said with profound meaning: "Although the cars in the bureau are good, they are not as good as the tractors of ordinary people. Xia Shuo is really suitable for officialdom. He He is destined to be a figure in the future!”

These words were a direct slap in the face of the cadre just now. He was also a colleague of the Agricultural Bureau, but he did not save any face.

The cadre just now was obviously stunned and said in shock: "You..."

Unexpectedly, several cadres stopped paying attention to him. Instead, they all walked towards Xia Shuo and said with a smile: "I can't believe that the tractor is so fast? Brother Xia Shuo, how about this? We also want to try it." Let’s try the tractor, can you sit with everyone?”

Xia Shuo stood up and asked with a smile: "Don't you mind the bumps?"

Several cadres laughed and said one after another: "Ride with the people and laugh all the way. As cadres of the Agricultural Bureau, if we can't even endure this little hardship, then what's the point of going to the countryside for research? We sit in the office and make plans If you don’t come up with good policies!”

Regardless of whether they are hypocritical or pretentious, these people have a very upright attitude.

Xia Shuo nodded, turned to look at the three wealthy households, and asked deliberately: "Three brothers, did you hear that the big cadres in the city want to ride on your tractor? I don't know if the three brothers care about diesel." money."

The faces of the three wealthy households were even more proud, and they were so excited that they almost wanted to show off, and kept saying: "This, this, this, this, gas money is nothing."

So shameless, so respectable!

Not only did Director Xiaoxia get picked up at this pick-up station, but also city cadres also wanted to ride on the tractor. When they returned to Qingshan Township, this incident would be enough for them to brag about for more than half a year.

Next to the car not far away, there was only the cadre who said strange things. His face kept changing from green to red, and he could not keep his face down.

He refused to come over on his own initiative, so everyone pretended to have forgotten him. Every step in the officialdom required seizing an opportunity. Obviously, this man had lost the opportunity to ride on the tractor.

……

More than 1 people and 3 Shanghai brand tractors rushed back amidst the cheers of the villagers.

The speed is indeed fast enough!

The only troublesome thing is that the roads in those days were too bumpy. Going from the city to the county was just okay. It was a relatively flat urban and county road, but when going from the county to the countryside, the road was so bumpy that it made me want to vomit.

The villagers were in high spirits at the beginning, but as time went by they became listless. They all sat in the back of the car with their heads slumped, looking drowsy.

On the contrary, the four cadres of the Agricultural Bureau who were traveling with us seemed to be very energetic along the way. They were not only full of conversation but also talked about a wide range of topics.

They were deliberately changing Xia Shuo's impression of them, so they always inadvertently 'revealed' some secrets while chatting. Some of these secrets were official insider information, and some were rumors spread through the gossip.

Once the chat box of sharing secrets is opened, both parties feel that the relationship is improving rapidly.

For example, Section Chief Liu of the Agricultural Bureau was telling an official joke. Although it sounded like a joke, it was actually a true story.

Chief Liu is about 4 years old. He is a veteran in the system. He is good at enlivening the atmosphere and his remarks are quite interesting.

I just heard him say with a smile: "At the beginning of this year, there was a change of leadership in the city. The new director took office on the first day. He immediately asked the general staff to take a group photo with him, and asked the photo studio to enlarge the photo. The director specially The enlarged photo is in the bedroom.”

Xia Shuo was very cooperative and asked deliberately: "Why do you want to enlarge the photo and put it specifically in the bedroom?"

Section Chief Liu laughed and said, "That's a good question. The director's wife also asked the same question at the time. Why did you take such a big photo? And it's still hanging in the room where we sleep."

"The director is very serious and solemnly told his wife that this is a group photo of all our comrades, our overall staff."

"The director's wife is very confused. Even so, I still don't understand. You guys meet at work every day, so there's no point in hanging the photo at home."

"Unexpectedly, the director was more serious and said righteously, don't you understand this? I have just taken office and I am unfamiliar with everyone in the unit, so I must hang the photo at home."

"The director's wife asked again, do you want to get to know your subordinates as quickly as possible through photos? Before you were promoted, I never saw you being so attentive to your work."

"The director loudly accused you, you old bitch, you know nothing. I am here to treat you differently and see who in the bureau will give me a gift."

"With this group photo, we won't confuse people. We should be honest, right? We will promote anyone who gives gifts to our family..."

"The director's wife is so shocked, she feels like her husband really looks like an official!"

After Section Chief Liu told the joke, everyone laughed in agreement. Only Gu Mingyue curled her lips and said with a hint of ridicule: "When the officialdom has reached a certain level, giving gifts has no meaning."

Xia Shuo glared at her and thought she was talking nonsense. Section Chief Liu was trying to liven up the atmosphere, but this girl did the opposite.

Unexpectedly, Section Chief Liu nodded solemnly and said with emotion: "Miss Gu is indeed well-informed. What you said is indeed the true meaning of officialdom. When you reach a certain level in the system, there is really no point in giving gifts to cling to you, but it is necessary." He has made great political achievements and adhered to his own governance philosophy."

He seemed to agree with Gu Mingyue's point of view, but then he changed his tone slightly and continued with emotion: "But, Miss Gu, you are talking about high-level officialdom. Only after reaching that level can you have that leisurely feeling, like People like us at the bottom must abide by the rules of the bottom..."

Gu Mingyue curled her lips again and sneered: "Is giving gifts the law?"
