officialdom

I knew Chen Fusheng's real name, Cao Rui, before, but the two had never dealt with him.

This person is talented but has a weird temper. He never participates in various activities organized by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Zhang Si told Cao Rui:

"The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is such a unit. There are all kinds of people engaged in culture and art, and there are all kinds of weird and weird people. Being the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is often a punching bag!"

Literary men looked down on each other. Cao Rui also wrote novels and was about to apply for membership in the Provincial Writers Association. Cao Rui did not dare to mention these things to Chen Fusheng.

Anyway, Gao Yi assigned the task. Chen Fusheng said to Cao Rui:

"Director Cao, please be busy. I have to write something in the evening. I have tea and coffee here. But one thing is, it's best not to make any noise and not disturb each other!"

When Cao Rui heard Chen Fusheng's words, he sounded polite, but in fact he was very indifferent. He belonged to the kind of person who, in the words of rural people, would be described as harsh and tough.

It's as hard as a stone in a latrine. It can be broken open by an old man, but it's still raw. How uncomfortable is this kind of person?

Cao Rui wanted me to immerse myself in revising the manuscript. What should I change to be qualified?

Cao Rui knew clearly what the county-level evening newspaper was. Even if Cao Rui's article was not suitable for publication in a newspaper, in terms of quality, it would not be very difficult to publish a county evening newspaper.

Chen Fusheng refused to let it be published. Is this really just a manuscript? Obviously, Chen Fusheng just didn't want to do this.

How can the president of a small newspaper not give face to the propaganda director and executive deputy county magistrate? How awesome can he be? If Cao Rui changes the manuscript here, what will be the result?

Just when Cao Rui was confused, a text message came on his mobile phone.

A message: "Good wine, good smoke!"

When Cao Rui saw that the message was sent by Gao Yi, he was stunned for a long time and realized that Mrs. Gao really couldn't handle Chen Fusheng, and because of the face of the county committee standing committee, she couldn't be tough, so she called Cao Rui over to find a solution.

What can Cao Rui think of? He took the opportunity of going to the toilet to call Liu Sheng and asked Liu Sheng to bring cigarettes and wine outside. Cao Rui had both cigarettes and wine at home. For food, he went directly to Turtle Village and asked the master to make a big turtle. In addition, he arranged to order wine and food. .

Liu Sheng is very efficient in doing things. Hearing Cao Rui say that everything was urgent, he got it all done in half an hour.

Cao Rui saw something and was confused: "So fast?"

Liu Sheng leaned into Cao Rui's ear: "The bureau arranged it, Director Chen is very efficient!"

When Liu Sheng said this, Cao Rui was really filled with emotion. He had worked hard at the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for eight full years, and in those eight years he could only eat a bowl of rice.

Now Cao Rui went to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for a walk, and the director personally arranged his life. He had good wine, good smoke, and good meat. So why do people have to be officials? Because when you are an official, you have face, you have dignity, and you are higher than others. This is a naked reality.

Cao Rui and Liu Sheng had not eaten long, but Chen Fusheng was hungry! It was obvious that Gao Yi had already carried out the ambush to the front.

When the food and wine arrived, Cao Rui asked Chen Fusheng:

"Teacher Chen, in ancient times the emperor was always hungry. You keep asking me to write and you can't let me go hungry! I asked my brother to bring some good wine and food. Teacher Chen, can we have some drinks together?"

Chen Fusheng was very impatient:

"You eat, you drink! Didn't you see that I was busy revising the manuscript?"

Cao Rui greeted Liu Sheng, brought the food directly into the office, set a table with delicious dishes, and poured three full glasses of wine. Chen Li prepared Wuliangye, which was fragrant and delicious.

After Cao Rui had everything prepared, he moved a chair and sat behind Chen Fusheng without urging him, just waiting.

Chen Fusheng was very angry. He turned to look at Cao Rui and said:

"What are you doing? You have to eat by yourself..."

Cao Rui said:

"Teacher Chen! On your territory, you are hungry, can we eat?"

Liu Sheng is a photographer and travels a lot with newspapers and media. He and Chen Fusheng have known each other for a long time. Anyway, this young man Liu Sheng is honest, reliable, honest, and has no evil intentions.

"Teacher Chen, let's work together! Have a drink and your thoughts will flow, and you will be able to write more masterpieces!" Liu Sheng also advised.

Chen Fusheng pushed the computer keyboard and said:

"Oh, I'm really convinced by you! I can't even make a living writing anything!"

Chen Fusheng took the chopsticks, and Cao Rui put a pack of Chinese cigarettes directly in front of him. People in Yongping were more accustomed to smoking Furong King, but Cao Rui observed that most of the cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Chen Fusheng were Chinese cigarettes, so he let him Liu Sheng took China.

As soon as Chen Fusheng saw Zhonghua, his expression relaxed a lot.

"Teacher Chen, come on, let's go one by one! My dear, it's nice to walk the baby at home, but when the leader gives the order, we have to come to work. Damn it, life is really hard!" said Cao Rui.

He didn't mention work or life, he just complained as usual.

Many civil servants in the system only want to get off work when they go to get off work. Chen Fusheng himself also grew up in the system and has the style of a literary youth. Cao Rui's complaints must resonate with him.

After drinking a glass of wine, he felt that Chen Fusheng's attitude had softened. Cao Rui took a look at the two bottles of Wuliangye. There were only three of them, so they definitely couldn't keep any wine today.

The three of them exchanged cups. After drinking half a catty, Chen Fusheng became a little drunk. Cao Rui said:

"Teacher Chen! How could I, a person who writes official documents, understand the editorials and comments of your newspaper? I'll tell you the truth, I don't know how to write them at all! County Magistrate Gao called me over, just to put them on the shelves.

But let me tell you, Teacher Chen, I think my idea of ​​building a new city and strengthening the county through education is quite valuable..."

Cao Rui started, but did not brake later. Anyway, he re-outlined the grand plan outlined by Ling Feng in a romantic way. There were a lot of exaggerations when speaking, and there was more passion.

He imagined that Yongping No. [-] Middle School would become a great middle school like Huanggang Middle School or Hengshui Middle School. This was entirely possible.

Then he said, what can a poor county like Yongping rely on if it wants to develop and stay ahead of other counties?

The area where agriculture is developed is mostly mountainous, and the northwest is full of mountains. When developing industry, it is not located on a major transportation road, so there is no way to compete with other places. Therefore, if we really want to strengthen the county, we have to engage in education and create the golden business card of education.

To do a good job in education, we must invest and have good hardware facilities. At present, the campus size and environment of Yongping No. [-] Middle School seriously restrict the further development of the school. At this time, Yongping No. [-] Middle School must seize the opportunity of the county party committee and county government. Opportunities for new town construction are brewing.

If we can seize this opportunity, the scale of Yongping No. [-] Middle School can be expanded three times or even five times on the current basis. The current area of ​​No. [-] Middle School is only more than [-] acres. In Nancheng, it can be allocated [-] acres or even [-] acres.

The investment in education has led to the rapid development of Yongping's urban construction, because high-quality education can form a strong siphon effect on surrounding counties. If Yongping can seize this key opportunity, in the next ten or twenty years, Yongping County will It will stand out from all districts and counties in the city and stand out.

Cao Rui gave a speech after drinking. Regardless of whether his thinking was rigorous or not, his passion reached its peak anyway. After speaking, he carried the sedan chair again:

"Mr. Chen, I have this idea! But I can't express it well. You are our number one writer in Yongping, and even the number one novelist in Wude City! I beg you to help me, no, no, not help. I am here for the future of Yongping’s [-] people. Can you polish my idea into words? We will publish it in the newspaper, and then we will have a big discussion in the whole society..."

After Cao Rui finished speaking, he immediately greeted Chen Fusheng regardless of his attitude:

"Liu Sheng, pour the wine, pour the wine, fill it up, fill it up! Today you and I are extremely blessed. I regard Chairman Zhang Si of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles as my uncle, but it is rare for Chairman Zhang to have a glass of wine with Teacher Chen. Today we have this opportunity, so let’s drink as much as we can and have fun…”

When the wine was full, Chen Fusheng became more interested. He lit a Chinese cigarette, and while he was drunk, he started talking about literature, novels, and poetry. His interest was very strong.

While we were talking, two bottles of white wine were drained, and the meal lasted three or four hours. It was almost early in the morning when we cleaned up.

The relationship between Cao Rui and Chen Fusheng has become much more harmonious. Chen Fusheng turned on the computer, opened the suggestion document written by Cao Rui, and explained the problems to Cao Rui one by one.

In fact, there are so many problems. Cao Rui is familiar with words like this. If the quality is not high, it will not catch the eyes of Gao Yi! So the problem Chen Fusheng mentioned is not necessarily a problem.

But as a senior newspaper president, there is no need to question his writing skills, and Cao Rui also told everything about his thoughts, so when Chen Fusheng came to finalize the draft, he basically had it at his fingertips.

Compared with Cao Rui's proposal, Chen Fusheng's final draft is more exaggerated, highlighting passion and imagination. The novelist's imagination is more romantic and exaggerated than Cao Rui's. Anyway, the final draft is almost seven to eight thousand words.

It’s five o’clock in the morning when all the manuscripts are finalized.

Cao Rui came out of the newspaper office. It was cold outside and it was still dark before dawn.

He wanted to take a taxi, but this seemed unrealistic. Just when he was about to go back again, a car slowly drove over and stopped in front of him.

The glass of the rear window of the car was lowered, and Cao Rui came closer. The lights in the car suddenly turned on, and Cao Rui saw Gao Yi.

"Are you done? Get in the car!"

Cao Rui really wanted to say forget it, County Magistrate Gao, please go first and I will make my own arrangements.

But Gao Yi's tone was unquestionable. He pondered for a moment, then walked around in a circle, opened the door and got into the passenger seat.

"Where to go?"

"I'm going home. Just drop me off across from Huimin Community!"

The car started moving, and the atmosphere in the car was silent and awkward.

Cao Rui glanced at the driver. Gao Yi's driver, Sister Shi, had just started work. She used to be an old taxi driver in Yongping County. She was over forty years old. She was specially recruited into the driver class.

Anyway, Sister Shi just listens with her ears and nose, and her nose looks at her heart, leaving Cao Rui with no reason to strike up a conversation. Gao Yi said:

"Cao Rui, aren't you usually very eloquent? Why don't you say a word now?"
