Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

A moment later, in the courtyard.

Minister Mei and Xia Shuo walked in front of each other, strolling slowly in a small vegetable garden.

Minister Mei seemed to be in a good mood and picked two cucumbers with her own hands. She carefully wiped the burrs of the cucumbers with the corner of her clothes, handed one of them to Xia Shuo, and said, "This should be grown by Lao Cui, right? Eating one of his sticks doesn’t count as stealing!”

Xia Shuo took the cucumber, nodded in agreement, and said, "This is indeed planted by Secretary Cui. It is a habit brought back from the army. Young people like us will occasionally pick and eat one, but Secretary Cui will only glare and scold him." 1 sentence."

Minister Mei put the cucumber to his mouth, clicked it and took a small bite, and praised: "It's very crispy, you can try it too."

Xia Shuo didn't have the elegance of Minister Mei. He bit off most of the cucumber in one bite, chewing it in his mouth, and looked like he was gobbling it up.

However, Minister Mei seemed to like his behavior very much. He even chuckled and glared at him. It looked like he was scolding him, but in fact he said dotingly: "You are a big boss, but you don't have a good manners when eating!"

Xia Shuo heyed twice and continued to chew the cucumber.

Minister Mei tasted it slowly and continued walking along the small vegetable garden.

Not far from the small vegetable garden, there is a shady tree.

Since it was already lunch break, there were several officers there enjoying the shade. When these people saw the leader, they all subconsciously stood up straight.

I wanted to say hello to please, but I was also worried that my level was not high enough, so I stood there quite cramped, and even breathing seemed tense.

Instead, Minister Mei smiled, waved to a few people, and asked kindly: "Are these comrades enjoying the cool air? Why don't you go home to rest at noon?"

The officers were surprised and happy, but they still didn't dare to gather around. They still stood at a distance and replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, leader. Let's just rest here for a while."

Minister Mei nodded, did not continue to speak, and continued walking forward slowly, signaling Xia Shuo to continue following her.

While Xia Shuo was munching cucumber, he did not forget to say hello to several office workers.

And he deliberately pretended to be joking to one of them, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, how dare you hide here and be lazy? Do you know that Secretary Cui has finished the meeting? Today at noon, I will entertain the leaders of the Agricultural Bureau. I suggest You'd better rush over there at a trot..."

Officer Liu is Secretary Cui's special officer. He was in charge of invigilating Xia Shuo's public examination before. Although this person has a low position, he is very thoughtful.

He understood Xia Shuo's words as soon as he heard them, and even several officers next to him could hear the implications. Everyone knew that Xia Shuo was trying to make a good deal, and took the opportunity to show Officer Liu's face in front of Minister Mei.

In the officialdom, you need help from noble people all the time. If someone mentions you in front of the leader, it will be helpful. Therefore, Xia Shuo's greeting made the officers all look envious.

Officer Liu himself had a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes clearly shone with gratitude. He quickly followed the words and said, "Yes, yes, thank you Brother Xia Shuo for informing me. I'll rush over right away. I'll rush over right now."

As he said that, he really trotted all the way towards the canteen not far away.

However, he seemed to be running in a hurry, but he turned his head while running, and shouted to Xia Shuo from a distance: "After you are done working for a while, let's find a place to have a drink. You go to the south to run around these days, and I Your sister-in-law and I miss you very much."

In fact, the relationship between him and Xia Shuo was not so good that his family members were concerned about it, but since Xia Shuo wanted to help him, he would definitely follow the conversation and said with a smile: "Okay, let's drink after we finish our work." 1 bite, go to your house and ask your sister-in-law to cook some better dishes."

Director Liu ran to the cafeteria with a smile on his face, his "OK, OK, OK" echoing all the way.

Minister Mei is so shrewd, how could he not see Xia Shuo's thoughts? According to the normal situation in the officialdom, leaders are very disgusted with the "posturing" of their subordinates. Even if they do not reprimand them in person, they will give them a few words of criticism afterwards.

However, out of love for Wujiwu, Minister Mei did not express any displeasure. Instead, he seemed to cooperate and took the initiative to ask Xia Shuo, "This is Secretary Cui's full-time officer, right? He and yours The relationship seems pretty good!”

Xia Shuo said quickly: "On the day I took the exam, Director Liu was in charge of invigilating the exam."

There are some things that don’t need to be said explicitly. It’s best to just point them out.

Sure enough, Minister Mei nodded and said in a calm tone: "Looking at his arrogant appearance, he must be a person who works hard."

Under the shade of a tree not far away, several officers were all envious. Everyone looked at Xia Shuo eagerly, hoping that Xia Shuo would mention something about them in front of Minister Mei.

Unfortunately, Minister Mei seemed to have lost interest in wandering here, and turned to the other side, signaling Xia Shuo to continue following.

Several officers could only look forward and sigh with envy in their eyes.

After Minister Mei and Xia Shuo walked away, these officers dared to exchange a few words in a low voice, and said one after another: "Did you just see that Minister Mei personally picked two cucumbers and wiped off the thorns with the corner of her clothes? , and then handed it to Xia Shuo for him to eat..."

"When Xia Shuo was chewing on the cucumber, he bit off most of it in one bite. Instead of criticizing his impetuous behavior, Minister Mei smiled gently on his face! The doting in his eyes was just like that of a sister!"

"Also, also, just now Xia Shuo only mentioned Lao Liu, and Minister Mei immediately gave him a face-saving comment. From then on, Lao Liu came into Minister Mei's sight."

"There is another thing that you may not know. Just at today's noon meeting, rumors have spread that Minister Mei will be promoted by leaps and bounds, taking over directly from the Organization Minister to the County Party Committee Secretary."

"So Lao Liu has become a noble person. He is not only in the sight of the organization director, but also the future county party committee secretary. He is the first person in our entire Donghe County."

Several officers whispered to each other, feeling indescribable envy.

……

Minister Mei walked around for a long time and seemed to want to take a rest, so she walked to the shade of another tree and motioned to Xia Shuo to sit with her and talk.

Xia Shuo hesitated slightly, feeling that this was inappropriate.

Unexpectedly, Minister Mei glared at him and scolded slightly: "What are you afraid of, young man? Are you so heavy on feudal ideas? You have only been working for a few days, and you have learned bad habits. The set of taboos between men and women in the officialdom, the more you feel different. The more people think about it, the more they seem to care..."

Xia Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Minister Mei had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "It's not because of this, but because of the level. With my current status, it is not appropriate to sit with you. If outsiders see it, they will Say I don’t understand the rules.”

Minister Mei was also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "If it's because of this, you don't have to deliberately avoid it. The leader asks you to chat with him. It can be regarded as a caring conversation."

Xia Shuo then sat down honestly, but slightly distanced himself.

Seeing that he was cautious, Minister Mei did not criticize him. Instead, he nodded and praised: "You are young, but you are thoughtful. No wonder you can trick a little girl back and make her come all the way to this poor place with you."

Xia Shuo's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't help but want to defend himself.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Minister Mei suddenly changed his tone and topic, and asked in a low voice: "Are you complaining in your heart that I want to suppress your promotion?"

Finally down to business!

Xia Shuo couldn't help but raise his head.

He certainly didn't dare to complain about Minister Mei, after all, she was the leader in his officialdom.

But in the system, everyone has a desire to make progress. Xia Shuo actually has expectations in his heart that he may be promoted.

Minister Mei seemed to see the conflict in his heart, so he spoke again in a gentle tone and asked: "Speak directly, don't be afraid. Do you have any complaints in your heart? Do you blame me for suppressing you?"

Xia Shuo thought about it, and finally decided to tell the truth, and said sincerely: "There will definitely be no complaints, after all, you have always taken care of me. But to say that I don't desire promotion, I am afraid that even I don't believe it..."

He smiled as he spoke, stretched out his hand to scratch his forehead, and added: "Since I have taken this road, I definitely want to go up. Isn't there a proverb in foreign countries that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Minister Mei nodded, seeming to be pleased with his honesty, and praised: "It's reasonable for you to have this intention. As long as people step into the system, as you said, they all want to move up. They all want to move up.”

Xia Shuo took the opportunity to ask, revealing his confusion and said: "In that case, why do you want to suppress me?"
