officialdom

Shahe City is close to Wude, and the driving distance between the two cities is exactly one hundred kilometers.

Wan Peng was excited and even a little reserved in the car with the city leaders. In comparison, Cao Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, seemed much more calm.

Xie Erping is more talkative. He said that he was good at writing when he was in college, dabbling in poetry, prose, and novels. Later, when he started working, he had less time and less feelings, so he gave up on writing.

Cao Rui said:

"Minister, Wen is from the bottom of my heart. You have rich life experience and profound writing skills. If you really want to write something, it is like catching a chicken in a cage. It is all accumulation now, and you will be able to explode after you retire.

Nowadays, many writers debut in their 50s and 60s, and they are very amazing when they come out. This is probably the reason! "

Cao Rui and Xie Erping talked about a wide range of topics, including literature and humanities. Xie Erping had been working beside the leader for a long time and was very knowledgeable and well-read.

After he came down, it was usually difficult to find someone to chat with. Today, when he chatted with Cao Rui, he found that Cao Rui was very thoughtful, which made him feel like he had met a close friend.

Moreover, Cao Rui has a high emotional intelligence, and there is also Wan Peng in the car. He always cleverly gives Wan Peng a chance to speak after a few words, making everyone's communication smooth and no one feels embarrassed.

The car drove to its destination, which was in front of a hotel.

Duan Xiaohu, member of the Standing Committee of the Shahe Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, personally greeted him at the door. After getting off the car, Xie Erping shook hands with Duan Xiaohu and said:

"Mr. Duan, I will bring you the person you want!"

Xie Erping introduced Cao Rui to him. Duan Xiaohu opened his eyes wide and was very surprised: "So young?"

Cao Rui said: "Minister, I look young, but I'm actually not too young!"

Duan Xiaohu laughed and said: "Heroes come from young, let's go, our leaders of the Chinese Writers Association have asked to see you!"

Duan Xiaohu and others went directly to the banquet hall. There were many people sitting in the banquet hall. When they arrived at the first table, Duan Xiaohu walked to the C seat with the water card "Sun Xiaowei". This man was in his early fifties and was very elegant.

"Director Sun, I brought it to you. He's very young!" Duan Xiaohu pointed at Cao Rui.

Cao Rui, who was in the literary circle, must have known Sun Xiaowei's name. He stepped forward and said, "Teacher Sun, I didn't expect you to come to our Xiangnan Province in person. I'm so happy to see you."

Sun Xiaowei stared at Cao Rui and said, "Did you write the book "Little Road"?"

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, teacher, did Teacher Xie Cun show you my manuscript?"

Sun Xiaowei laughed loudly and said: "This trip to southern Hunan is well worth it. Your novel is well written, the story is good, and the intention is good. What's rare is that your writing skills are also very solid, and you are so young, so promising!"

Sun Xiaowei stood up and said:

"Come, come, sit down, sit down and let's talk!"

As soon as Sun Xiaowei said he would arrange a seat, someone immediately came over and added an extra chair to the table.

Sun Xiaowei and Xia Erping exchanged a few words, and everyone sat down naturally.

Today is a reception banquet in Shahe City, which mainly entertains writers from all over the country who come to Shahe City to participate in activities. This time the writers group is led by Sun Xiaowei. He is of a high level, so he takes the lead in the entire banquet.

After Propaganda Minister Duan Xiaohu spoke, the banquet was about to begin. Suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall. Duan Xiaohu said with a happy face:

"Director Sun, our Secretary Xu has come to have dinner with you in person. Today was the provincial party committee meeting. He heard that there was such a banquet in the evening, so he hurried back!"

While they were talking, a group of people came to the door. The leader strode straight towards Sun Xiaowei.

Xu Hui, secretary of the Shahe Municipal Party Committee, also has a capital background. After coming in, he gave Sun Xiaowei a warm hug and said:

"Teacher Sun, does this count as meeting an old friend in a foreign country?"

Sun Xiaowei said:

"Secretary Xu, the stage of Shonan Province is very broad. You can show your great ambitions here. This grand event of our Writers Association is also because of your strong support. Your approach to revitalizing the city through culture is correct."

Wan Peng had no choice but to avoid the banquet where the Municipal Party Committee Secretary attended in person, but Cao Rui was always at the table because Sun Xiaowei was dragging him along.

After the banquet, Sun Xiaowei and Cao Rui talked alone for more than an hour, mainly to learn about the creative experience of the novel "Little Road". Cao Rui and Sun Xiaowei talked about two stories, one was the story of Yang Erbao and Chen Xiaolu, and the other was the story of Master The story of Chen Fusheng.

Both stories were true and extremely touching. Sun Xiaowei was so shocked after hearing this that he didn't speak for a long time.

He said: "Cao Rui, I used to think that being in politics and becoming an official would affect writing. I often like to say that some people waste their talents and become officials instead of creating well in the best creative years.

Now it seems that my thoughts are biased. Your ability to write such a good novel as "Little Road" has a lot to do with your local officials!

Xiao Cao, I will recommend the publication of this book to you. I can also recommend Secretary Xu Hui to you for your work at the grassroots level..."

Cao Rui said:

"Teacher Sun, it would be great if "Little Road" could be published! As for my personal career, you don't need to recommend it to me. Thank you for your concern for me!"

Cao Rui's words came from the bottom of his heart. He was not disappointed with the officialdom, but he felt that although Sun Xiaowei was very enthusiastic, he did not understand the officialdom at the grassroots level.

Things in the officialdom are very complicated and change a lot. Cao Rui doesn't think anything can be changed with Sun Xiaowei's recommendation.

Besides, it was also the first time for Cao Rui and Sun Xiaowei to come into contact, so some of them were within limits. Sun Xiaowei's statement was definitely not within limits.

Cao Rui feels that the essence of human interaction lies in the control of propriety, and Cao Rui will not easily exceed normal propriety.

After a chat, Cao Rui said goodbye. Minister Xie and Minister Wan were waiting for him. After meeting them, Cao Rui said:

"Minister Xie, Minister Wan, I'm really sorry to have kept the two leaders waiting for so long. Teacher Sun was chatting too much, and I didn't dare to end the conversation easily..."

Xie Erping smiled and said:

"When you show your face, my face shines brightly, and so does yours, Minister Wanpeng! I just talked to Minister Wanpeng about your situation. Are you now working in the Party History Office of the County Party Committee?"

Cao Rui said:

"Yes, I have been working here for almost a year! All actions are subject to command. The organization requires us to charge forward and we are unambiguous. When the organization asks us to retreat to the rear to rest, we can settle down and recharge with peace of mind.

During this year, I did not work on the front line, but I made some achievements in writing. The key is that I have accumulated myself through writing, and I feel very good and fulfilling..."

Xie Erping nodded, very satisfied with Cao Rui's answer. It was rare for a young cadre to have a good heart.
