The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

After Guo Hongtao and others were formally introduced, they also greeted each other, and there was a flash of jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Zhu Xiaomin.

I was in the same office with Hu Runyue, and I tried my best to curry favor with him every day when going in and out, just hoping to be transferred to Section 1 to do administrative work so that I wouldn't have to go to the countryside anymore and would be closer to the leaders. But I didn't expect that Zhu Xiaomin would come along and directly assigned to Section 1.

After everyone got to know each other, Hu Runyue pointed to an empty table by the wall and said, "Move this table over to the window. You can work here from now on."

The office was spacious, with two sets of windows. The two desks from Section Three were placed opposite each other in front of the inner windows, and Guo Hongtao's desk was placed horizontally on the sides of the two tables.

The two desks of Section 1 were placed opposite each other in front of the window outside. Now with Zhu Xiaomin's desk added, they were just placed sideways on the outside.

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at the new environment and made a judgment in her mind.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Without waiting for her to speak, Fan Yanqing went over attentively and moved the empty desk by the wall over.

Zhu Xiaomin said, "I'll do it myself." and went to the other side to help move.

Fan Yanqing smiled: "How can a little girl do such heavy work?" Seeing Li Changping coming over, he gave his end to him and went around to Zhu Xiaomin's side, squeezing next to her to move the table.

Zhu Xiaomin felt a little uncomfortable when he rubbed her shoulder, but when she looked out of the corner of her eye, she saw that his eyes were focused on the table and it didn't seem to be intentional. She could only move away a little and lift the table over.

Guo Hongtao, as the only staff member here, was reluctant but couldn't sit idle. She had already fetched some water and wrung out a rag to help wipe the table, muttering, "There are only five of us here, why don't we go to Section 2?"

Zhu Xiaomin pretended not to hear and said with a smile, "Let me do it myself." She took the rag and wiped the tables and chairs clean.

Hu Runyue looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late today. Let's not talk about work for now. I'll take you to meet the people from Section 2." Then he took her to the next room.

The layout next door was the same, with four tables for four people, two tables placed opposite each other by the window. Two section chiefs were inside, and two clerks were outside.

Seeing Zhu Xiaomin and Hu Runyue come in, the four of them stood up and greeted them warmly.

Hu Runyue introduced them one by one: "This is Section Chief Liu Zhuangzhi, Section Chief Xu Xilin, Officer Yang Yiliang, and Officer Jiao Xianglan."

Among these four people, Jiao Xianglan is a lesbian who is over 30 years old, Liu Zhuangzhi is a little older than her, and Xu Xilin and Yang Yiliang are both in their twenties.

Zhu Xiaomin greeted everyone one by one, said a few polite words, and then followed Hu Runyue back.

The four people in the office were discussing. When they saw the two people coming back, Fan Yanqing said with a smile, "Why are you here so soon? I thought you would sit for a while."

Hu Runyue shook his head: "Just going over to get to know each other."

"Didn't Old Liu keep any?" Fan Yanqing asked.

Hu Runyue smiled, "It's right next door. We can talk anytime if we want to. It doesn't have to be now." After that, they sat back in their seats and introduced their work in the department to Zhu Xiaomin. "Section Chief Li is mainly responsible for finance, and I am in charge of logistics. Now that you are here, I will hand over the document work to you, and it will be easier for you to understand our work."

Indeed it is!

Zhu Xiaomin agreed: "Okay!" Then she followed her to look at the cabinets against the wall and took the key she handed over.

Guo Hongtao sat in her chair, turned around and looked, then said with a smile: "There is a collection of the report materials of the thirteen counties under us over the past ten years. We said before that they would be sorted out, but Section Chief Hu has never been able to free up his hands. Comrade Xiaomin will have to work hard in the future."

Hu Runyue interrupted: "Xiaomin is an officer. We are from the same unit, so it's better for everyone to just call her by her position."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I am young, and you are all seniors, just call me by my name, no need to be so polite."

Fan Yanqing smiled and said, "Yes, calling you comrade is too polite, so we just call you by your name."

Guo Hongtao smiled wryly: "Chief Hu is right. Then we will call you Xiaomin. Thank you for your hard work."

I asked you to call me by my name, but I didn’t ask you to call me so intimately.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Organizing the materials also helps me understand the work in the county below. It's not hard at all."

Guo Hongtao curled her lips almost imperceptibly and turned away.

Fan Yanqing asked: "Xiaomin, in your opinion, where in our county has more room for development?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "I just came here, and I don't have a deep understanding of the counties yet. I don't know the situation. From Hengyin County, everyone still maintains the production method of ten years ago. I think after improving production tools or finding a better production model, all counties have room for development. As for which county ranks first, I dare not say anything rashly."

Guo Hongtao chuckled: "Xiaomin's words sound reasonable, but she is actually very cunning. She did not answer Section Chief Fan's question."

Zhang Yujie said beside him: "Xiaomin said that it is hard to tell which county is ranked first."

Guo Hongtao asked: "If I can't tell them apart, how can I do my future work?"

Zhang Yujie was helpless: "Not to mention that she just arrived, even if it was us, how could we arrange the order?"

What Deputy Section Chief Zhang said is quite pertinent.

Zhu Xiaomin made the judgment.

Guo Hongtao stopped talking.

When they got off work, Zhu Xiaomin followed Hu Runyue out, and Guo Hongtao asked again: "Xiaomin, why are you getting off work so soon?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked at her watch and asked, "Is my watch running fast?"

Guo Hongtao choked and looked at Hu Runyue.

Hu Runyue smiled and said, "There's nothing urgent. No need to work overtime." As he walked out, he asked Zhu Xiaomin, "Are you and Xiao He from the office sharing a dormitory?"

Zhu Xiaomin took the opportunity to ignore Guo Hongtao and nodded: "Yes, they met once before when they went to the village, and then they were arranged together."

Hu Runyue nodded: "Xiao He is a very nice person. You are not familiar with the environment. If you have any questions, just ask her, or ask me during working hours." Then he smiled and said, "I don't live in the compound."

If you don't live in a compound, one option is to live in a house allocated by the unit outside the compound, or in a house allocated to your family members.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and agreed without asking, went downstairs and left the courtyard with her, then went back to the dormitory building at the back.

As soon as she entered the building, Guo Hongtao caught up with her and asked her with a smile, "Which dormitory do you live in?"

"214." Zhu Xiaomin answered with a smile.

"With Xiao He?" Guo Hongtao's voice was somewhat sarcastic. "Don't underestimate her because she is in the agency. She is just on secondment."

"She said it." Zhu Xiaomin replied, not wanting to talk to her any more, and quickly went up the stairs.

Guo Hongtao's voice called from behind: "I'm in Room 105. If you need help, just come find me."

"Thank you." Zhu Xiaomin replied and turned around the stairs.

After she finished packing up the odds and ends that hadn't been picked up at lunch, He Lanfang had already returned and said to her, "There's no food in the canteen tonight. I have a kerosene stove. How about we cook some noodles? Cooking anything else would take too long and produce too much smoke."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Let's go out to eat. It's just right for you to take me to get familiar with the environment."
