The Pentium Era - South to North

After dinner, everyone shook hands and said goodbye at the entrance of Yongcheng Hotel. Tan Shuzhen walked through the cultural square and walked to the cultural center. She walked downstairs and looked at her watch. It was already past eight o'clock, and the song and dance hall upstairs was already open. The changing lights and music passed through the windows of the dance hall and fell to the square below.

Teacher Shi knew that he would not be coming to the competition today and the banquet with the leaders after the competition, and he did not even need to ask for leave.

In addition, I had been working hard all afternoon, and had eaten with the leader for several hours earlier. I didn’t expect that eating with the leader would be more tiring than competing. I had to maintain a dignified sitting posture at all times, think about how to say every word, and also I'm looking for something to talk about, my God.

Thinking like this, Tan Shuzhen felt that she was really tired, so she should go home first and spend time with her daughter.

Tan Shuzhen walked home alone, her heart full of joy. Of course she knew what President Mao meant when he said, "Come to my office tomorrow." She didn't expect that participating in such a competition would bring unexpected joy.

In a county town, being able to work in a bank is something that many people long for but cannot achieve.

Tan Shuzhen knew that since President Mao asked her to go tomorrow, there was a 90% chance that he would agree to her transfer. If she was asked for her personal opinion, she would of course agree immediately. Since she has decided not to return to the troupe , then what other unit can be better than going to the bank?

At that time, the bank had not yet been fully commercialized, and was still a semi-enterprise and semi-public institution. Tan Shuzhen herself was a public institution. From this point of view, there was no obstacle to transfer.

Tan Shuzhen considered whether to tell Feng Laogui about this when she returned home. After thinking for a long time, she decided not to tell her. She would wait until she talked to President Mao tomorrow and the matter was settled.

What worries Tan Shuzhen is Feng Laogui and the Cultural Affairs Bureau. If Feng Laogui knew this, his first reaction would probably be, I am the leader of the troupe here, and my wife is not at ease with the work of the troupe, which will affect the performance of the troupe. No, he would definitely think so, Tan Shuzhen could imagine it with her toes.

For the Cultural Affairs Bureau, their usual approach is that the troupe has nothing to perform and the people in the troupe have nothing to do. They treat them as nothing and wish they did not exist at all. But once anyone wants to leave the troupe, they will immediately find out. This person is a talented person and cannot leave. The troupe will collapse if he leaves. They would rather you rot in the troupe than let you go out and run.

Tan Shuzhen knew in her heart that once she went to the Cultural Bureau to propose a transfer, they would definitely not agree. As for Feng Laogui, don't expect him to be on her side.

"Dingling bells", a string of bicycle bells rang behind her. Tan Shuzhen turned around and saw Xiao Wu riding on the bicycle. Xiao Wu laughed with her:

"Sister Shuzhen, congratulations. I also saw it below. Congratulations on becoming Miss Yongcheng."

Tan Shuzhen pretended to be angry and said: "Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Wu chuckled: "I'm not talking nonsense, it's Miss Yongcheng. What's wrong? If Sister Shuzhen is not Miss Yongcheng, who dares to be Miss Yongcheng."

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said: "Okay Xiao Wu, don't look for sister to be happy. Where are you going?"

"Go back to your room and get something, how about you?"

"go home."

"Come up, I'll take you." Xiao Wu said.

Tan Shuzhen sat on the back seat of Xiao Wu's bicycle. Xiao Wu took her and rode to the bottom of Gaofang. Xiao Wu said he wanted to send Tan Shuzhen back to the Yue Opera Troupe. Tan Shuzhen quickly jumped off the bike and said no, it was all uphill and she was exhausted. , a little way, I walked in by myself.

Tan Shuzhen said that she walked in without leaving, as if she wanted to tell Xiao Wu something. Xiao Wu got out of the car and asked, "Sister Shuzhen, what's the matter?"

Tan Shuzhen told Xiao Wu what happened during dinner.

"Go, ICBC, of ​​course you want to go. What's the deal with this shabby theater troupe? What's the difference between staying here and waiting to die?" Xiao Wu shouted.

Tan Shuzhen said quickly, of course I want to go, but I'm worried that the bureau will not agree.

"They will definitely disagree, but don't be afraid. If anyone dares to disagree then, I will go find him. I will educate him. You can't be so immoral. How can you do things that delay people's life-long events? Those who don't agree, I will Just ask him to support you.”

"Screw you, I want someone to support me, so who do I need to be?"

Tan Shuzhen cursed, then laughed again, and said to Xiao Wu: "Thank you Xiao Wu, you are right, there is nothing to be afraid of. If anyone disagrees, I will go find him."

"Well, I'll go with you. If not, tie him up and hang him from a tree to force him to agree."

Tan Shuzhen laughed, put a hand on Xiao Wu's back, pushed him, and said to him: "Okay, thank you Xiao Wu, go get something."

Xiaowu called Sister Shuzhen goodbye, stepped on his feet, and rode up the semicircular steep slope.

Tan Shuzhen watched Xiao Wu's figure turn to the other side of the ramp. She turned around and walked step by step into the valley, still thinking about what Xiao Wu had just said.

She thought that the first person in the Cultural Bureau who opposed her transfer must be Ding Baigou. If that happened, she would have to settle the accounts with him one by one. Why did she need to be replaced at the Art Festival? Why did she not go to Beijing without her? , you have to ask him to explain everything clearly. If you can’t explain clearly, hum——

Tan Shuzhen remembered Xiao Wu's words, "Tie him up and hang him from a tree." Tan Shuzhen couldn't help but laugh again.

Tan Shuzhen looked up at home, only to find that the windows at home were dark. It was not nine o'clock. It was impossible for Feng Laogui and her daughter to go to bed so early. They must have gone out.

Tan Shuzhen walked upstairs. It was dark upstairs. She opened the door with the key and went in. Sure enough, there was no one at home.

Tan Shuzhen took the tooth cup, towel and washbasin and went out, turning on the light in the corridor. After washing, she came back, turned off the light, walked into the room, took out the certificate and red envelope from the bag, threw it on the table, and poured a glass Water, standing in front of the window, drinking while looking out the window, my mind went blank.

After drinking the water, she felt a little sleepy, so she prepared to go to bed and sleep for a while. Before going to bed, she turned on the lights in the corridor so that when Feng Laogui and her daughter came back, it would not be dark outside.

I don't know how much time passed, but Tan Shuzhen vaguely heard Feng Laogui open the door and come in, muttering something about why the lights outside were not turned off.

As if she didn't hear her daughter's voice, Tan Shuzhen sat up on the bed. Sure enough, Feng Laogui came back alone without her daughter.

"Where's my daughter?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

"My parents' place." Feng Laogui said angrily.

"Why did you leave it to your parents? Where have you been?"

Feng Laogui did not answer where he had gone, but said sadly: "I thought you would not come back until midnight again."

Tan Shuzhen sat there and shook her head, then fell down again, too lazy to say anything to Feng Laogui.

Feng Laogui has been acting like this ever since he found out that Tan Shuzhen participated in this competition. He didn't say it, but Tan Shuzhen knew it and could feel it. She knew that there had been rumors outside that this was a beauty contest, and she knew that Feng Laogui This is what Lao Gui cares about. He must be thinking in his heart, who is a serious person who will participate in this event.

Tan Shuzhen closed her eyes. She heard Feng Laogui go out to the bathroom and come back. She heard him turn off the light and then lie down. Tan Shuzhen turned over and thought she fell asleep.

The next morning, when Tan Shuzhen woke up, Feng Laogui was no longer there. Tan Shuzhen cursed in her heart, "It's nothing. Why are you going to the theater so early every day? Can you become an immortal by sitting alone in that office?"

Tan Shuzhen looked at her watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock. She was shocked. She didn't expect that she was so sleepy and had slept for so long. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about her throat today.

She got up and walked to the table to take a look. The big red certificate was still there, but the red envelope had been taken away. Feng Laogui was in charge of the money in their family, so he must have put it away. Tan Shuzhen opened the cabinet door and put the certificate away. Throw it in.

At around nine o'clock, Tan Shuzhen went to President Mao's office. When President Mao saw Tan Shuzhen come in, he stood up happily and invited her to sit on the sofa.

Sure enough, President Mao didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, asking Tan Shuzhen if she wanted to transfer to their unit?

Tan Shuzhen said she wanted to, but President Mao, I am at home and I can’t even calculate my own accounts clearly. What can I do at your bank?

President Mao laughed and said, "Do you think our bank only knows how to settle accounts? That is a matter for the counter below. No one in the office upstairs is responsible for settling accounts."

President Mao and Tan Shuzhen said that if she came over, his idea would be to work in the president's office. Our bank receives a lot of things every day, especially from higher-level provincial and municipal banks and other brother county banks. , There is no way, who made Yongcheng a major tourist county.

When they come, we need to receive them and let them come and leave happily. You are good at this. You are already a champion of etiquette. To tell you the truth, Xiao Tan, I also observed you last night. I found that you dealt with several leaders appropriately. You are definitely qualified for this job.

Also, if you take part in some trade union matters in the industry, do you think there is any problem with this?

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said, if it is these jobs, I can do it, no problem.

Okay, then you are welcome to become a member of our ICBC as soon as possible. I am here to give you a strong welcome. I am just worried about whether the troupe and the Cultural Affairs Bureau will let you go since you are the pillar of the troupe.

President Mao extended his hand as he spoke, and Tan Shuzhen quickly shook it.

As expected, they were all worried. Tan Shuzhen said, "Don't worry, President Mao, I will work hard to fight for it."

Okay, that's it. You go talk to the bureau first. It would be best if they can release him happily. If not, I'll go talk to your director.

President Mao and Tan Shuzhen said.
