During a trip to the provincial capital, Cao Rui felt that he had matured at least five years.

He recalled the period when he worked in the Party History Office. His heart was empty and he was always filled with all kinds of negative emotions. The kind of loss and frustration emptied all Cao Rui's energy.

He often wonders, will he never be able to get up again after experiencing this setback? He is still only thirty-four years old, and he still has a lot of good years left. If he just fails like this and never gets another chance, what is the value of his life?

Many people say that a man must be able to take things up and let them go. This is easy to say, but how easy is it to actually do it? Not to mention now, how many people in the past and present have been able to do it?

After experiencing prosperity and excitement, it suddenly fell down and no one cared about it. It felt so uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Cao Rui had a master, and fortunately he had a talented, thoughtful, and capable man like Chen Fusheng, otherwise he might have perished.

But good people don't live long, and Chen Fusheng suddenly encountered such a change, which greatly stimulated Cao Rui.

After returning from the provincial capital, he seemed to be a different person. He stayed in the office during the day and shut himself up in the study after get off work at night.

Several people in the Party History Office felt this change, and some people around the county committee felt that something was wrong with the new director of the Party History Office!

Sheng Kemei was wondering if he should care about the leader. Before he could make up his mind, Cao Rui took the initiative to find him and Tang Xiujuan.

"I found that our office computers are aging badly and are almost unusable. Can we replace a few computers?" Cao Rui asked.

Tang Xiujuan was about to speak but stopped, Sheng Kemei said sarcastically:

"Director Cao, we have reported this issue many times. Director Yi of the County Party Committee even came to us to investigate! But it has not been implemented. It is said that the funds for the three public affairs are tight. Let us overcome some difficulties for the time being!"

"Actually, is there any difficulty in this? We can solve this problem if the leaders skip one meal."

Cao Rui frowned, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

As soon as the call was connected, Cao Rui said:

"Director Tang, I am Cao Rui!"

"Hey, Cao Rui, what's going on?"

Cao Rui said:

“The Party History Office wants to replace several computers, and has applied for research several times, but has never been able to implement it! No matter how you put it, our unit is still a think tank under the county party committee.

Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to see a blue screen when typing on the computer? "

Cao Rui directly called Tang Xiaomi, director of the county party committee office. After hearing this, Tang Xiaomi said:

"You ask someone from the office to come over, and I'll directly approve the note and solve it!"

Cao Rui hung up the phone and told Tang Xiujuan:

"You go to Tang Xiaomi's office, the matter is settled!"

Four old computers and an old printer in the Party History Office were finally replaced. This was Cao Rui’s first political achievement after arriving at the Party History Office. It is trivial to mention, but Sheng Kemei told Tang Xiujuan in private:

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse after all. Even if our Director Cao loses power, one sentence can still defeat ten of our reports!"

Cao Rui didn't have time to care about this at all. The new computer came mainly to facilitate his creation.

Cao Rui is now completely immersed in the creation of the book "Little Road". He never thought that one day he would be able to control a full-length novel. If Chen Fusheng hadn't been in trouble, he wouldn't have had the courage to try.

But now all his mind is focused on the creation of this novel, and all the previous worries, loss, anxiety, etc., no longer exist in him.

He now encounters many cadres on his way to and from get off work. He used to feel a little embarrassed, but now he faces them very calmly and calmly.

The computers in the Party History Office were not good enough. Before, he might have thought about whether he would run into trouble if he approached Tang Xiaomi. Now he no longer thinks about the problem so much. He has become more open-minded and realizes that he can't really say how bad his situation is. .

Wasn't it because Zhao Daquan knocked him down from the hot position of party committee secretary? This result is not because Cao Rui did anything wrong, but because politics is like this.

Now that Cao Rui has reached the position of director of the Party Committee Office, this small place is still his world, and he can still do things within the scope of his responsibilities.

Cao Rui is now writing novels. When it comes to plot conceiving, if he has any unclear points, he will read masterpieces by famous writers, or go to Chen Fusheng for advice, and then he will study it carefully by himself, writing an outline and then a detailed outline.

As for the characters, Cao Rui felt that every character in his novel stood vividly in front of him.

"The protagonist Chen Xiaolu of "Little Road", the male protagonist Yang Yi and Yang Erbao, the beautiful female editor Guo X, and many, many people in the mountains, they are male and female, old and young, these people have real shadows, more It is the processing and creation of art.

But no matter how these characters change, their voices and smiles are still vivid in Cao Rui's mind. "

Cao Rui worked day and night to write a 20-word novel. Sometimes he would stay up all night for a plot, and sometimes he would be moved to tears when writing a small plot.

For example, he wrote about his childhood sweethearts, who walked home after school, rode sheep on the hillside, caught fish in streams, caught loaches in the fields, and picked wild fruits in the mountains.

When writing these scenes, he thought of the mountains and waters of Qilihe Peach Blossom Pu, the endless terraces as far as the eye can see, and the people who have lived there for generations.

Every time when school is over, children flock out of school. They run happily in the fields, on hillsides, and in mountain valleys. There are no restraints or worries. No one will force them to attend cram schools. They You can enjoy the joy of childlike fun.

He often writes with a smile on his face and moist eyes, which is inexplicably touching...

Unknowingly, more than a month has passed. This month has made Cao Rui feel as fulfilled as if a year or even several years have passed. In just one month, he has written nearly [-] words of novels and read almost [-] million novels. A masterpiece of words.

There are also words that he has written and deleted countless times, and there are more ideas that he has perfected, but in the end they were cut again for various reasons.

He looked at the densely printed manuscript and couldn't believe that this was a work he could create.

He organized the text and then went to see Chen Fusheng with the thick novel.

Chen Fusheng's home is by the Lihe River. He is thinner than before and has become skin and bones. However, since returning from the provincial capital, his mental state is good.

In the past month or so, Cao Rui has come to see him often. His wife Guan Chunfang said that he could only have something to eat every time Cao Rui came. Guan Chunfang hoped that Cao Rui could come often.

Cao Rui knew in his heart that Chen Fusheng was concerned about novels. Every step forward in Cao Rui's creation, Chen Fusheng's condition seemed to get better.
