The dinner in the evening was arranged by Gao Xuejiao, a college classmate.

Gao Xuejiao is a male classmate with a handsome appearance, fair skin, a stubborn personality, and a high self-esteem. He published novels in national publications in high school, and won two national literary competition awards when he entered college. He is a member of the School of Humanities.

A recognized talent, he was recruited to Xichuan Metropolis Daily as an intern reporter right after the Spring Festival this year. He left school early and did not even return to school to attend the graduation ceremony.

Ye Sansheng didn't have much contact with him, so there was no friendship.

The school also has a literary club. Unlike other clubs, the literary club has a quick term and changes every year. It is not like other clubs where some presidents can serve for three or four years. Gao Xuejiao served as the president of the literary club for one term.

It’s not the reason why the head of the student union department of the school has less contact with him. The main reason is that Gao Xuejiao looks down on “common people” like Ye Sansheng. Ye Sansheng doesn’t have much time to deliberately care about a certain male classmate. At the same time, he also feels that,

People like Gao Xuejiao look down on those classmates who deliberately try to make friends with him. If they are hot on the face, they will definitely be cold on the bottom.

After deciding to apply for the civil service examination in Jiangcheng, Ye Sansheng sent him a simple message on QQ, and Gao Xuejiao only replied with one word: OK.

——He and he have never been QQ friends.

When the interview results came out, Ye Sansheng also restrained himself from reporting to this proud and unruly reporter Gao. It was not until yesterday morning that he sent him another message: Passed the exam. We will be comrades in arms from now on.

This time he carefully considered his words.

He believed that with Gao Xuejiao's intelligence, it would be easy for him to make judgments and choices - if he felt that this relatively capable college classmate was not worth continuing to associate with, he would categorically and directly freeze him. Otherwise, it would be another choice.

attitude.

Sure enough, at noon, Gao Xuejiao responded to the message, saying that he had gone for an interview in the morning and saw him, and asked him when he would arrive in Jiangcheng.

Ye Sansheng breathed a sigh of relief. Reporter Gao, who always had a higher eye than D, was able to explain that being able to type so many words spoke volumes. He replied that he would leave tonight.

Gao Xuejiao did not ask him what time he would arrive in the evening, but said that he would rush out the manuscripts from the day's interviews in the evening and publish them in the newspaper tomorrow. Then he went on to explain that he would be a host tomorrow night, inviting two friends to welcome classmate Ye to Jiangcheng.

His tone was doubtful.

Ye Sansheng was not pretentious and simply replied with one word: OK.

Now, he was sitting in the teahouse, drank two sips of Coke with ice, and began to think about tonight's dinner and the host of the dinner, his college classmate, the talented Gao Xuejiao.

Among the graduates of the School of Humanities, Gao Xuejiao is definitely a figure. Even among the graduates of the school, he is not bad - it seems that Gao Xuejiao was rated as an outstanding graduate.

?

With his intelligence, coupled with his professional ability and the platform of Xichuan Metropolis Daily, if he improves his emotional intelligence, he should make rapid progress in his career and become a person who cannot be ignored in Jiangcheng, just like the school. So it is definitely worth it

Communicate.

Especially Ye Sansheng applied for the civil service examination this time. To be on the safe side, he applied for the Z government rank. A total of ten people were recruited. They will be placed in various positions, and most of them will go to the grassroots level. With his two ordinary diplomas, there is nothing

A family with a poor background will definitely be assigned to a remote town and become an unknown cog. Gao Xuejiao, through interviews and reports, will easily be known to leaders at all levels in various industries and departments in the city. The two of them

The differences between people will be immediately apparent.

For no reason, I was reminded of a song from the Han Dynasty Yuefu poem "The Ballad of Ancient Yue":

"You are riding in a chariot, and I am wearing a hat. When we meet one day, I will get off the bus and bow. You are carrying a chariot, and I am astride a horse. When we meet one day, I will be your servant."

The "簦" in the song refers to an ancient hat with a handle, like the current umbrella, which is generally used by the poor. This song is similar to a verbal agreement, which means that no matter who of you and me becomes prosperous or frustrated in the future, we will not take it.

affect our friendship.

It is said that the name of the spy chief Dai Li came from this.

If I had known earlier, no matter how much time I wasted studying for college, I should have established a close relationship with the future reporter Gao.

But it's not a big deal, it's not too late.

Taoist Wang said that if you do anything right away, it will never be too late. Taoist Wang also said that proud and talented people are actually the easiest to deal with.

As long as you smile at them and bow your head, they will accept it with a high sense of superiority and the satisfaction of victory. Even if you are offended, most of them will not bother to fight back because of their pride, and even if they fight back, they will not use inferior skills.

The principle is the same as "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain".

It is relatively safe and trustworthy to associate with such people.

Even, it is still very valuable.

Because such people often disdain to care about gains and losses and interests in order to maintain their pride and dignity, and will even go so far as to maintain their personality.

For example, at tonight's dinner, in order to show off in a low-key manner, he may have arranged for two or three well-known friends in Jiangcheng to accompany him.

Ye Sansheng must be considered a figure in the school. Although Gao Xuejiao is disdainful on the surface, he should still admire him in his heart - Ye Sansheng has never been arrogant, nor will he belittle himself. He understands reporter Gao's subtle psychology, which was what Guan Xiaofeng used to do.

Take him to participate in those dinner parties to learn social knowledge.

Reporter Gao has been working in Jiangcheng for half a year and should know some people.

Suddenly, Ye Sansheng was looking forward to the dinner in the evening. Although, he was looking forward to it yesterday.

After five o'clock, he received a call from Reporter Gao, saying that the interview unit was treating him tonight and he couldn't leave, but it didn't matter. Ye Sansheng could come over and join him, since the work was done anyway. Then he told the location.

Ye Sansheng agreed without hesitation. He was a little shocked and a little disappointed.

It turns out that he didn’t arrange a special welcome dinner for himself. Reporter Gao still didn’t pay enough attention to himself?

Suddenly I wanted to find someone to talk to, but Wang Dalu and Yi Laose were not there on QQ, and I didn't want to offend Lu Duoduo and Guan Xiaofeng, so I suddenly felt bored.

After six o'clock, calculating the time, Ye Sansheng called a car and went there.

The name of the restaurant is Xiaoya Qingqing. It is an ordinary-looking small restaurant, but its business is very good.

There are four large tables and three small tables in the hall, and there are seven or eight tables on the street outside, which are completely full.

Ye Sansheng walked through the guests with sweat on their foreheads and walked in, feeling a little better: it was not a perfunctory one.

Of course, it may also be that the reporting unit did not deal with reporter Gao.

There were two private rooms inside. Ye Sansheng looked at the door number and opened it without knocking. When he stood at the door, he saw Gao Xuejiao sitting in the upper seat and talking closely to a middle-aged man next to him.

Seeing Ye Sansheng, Gao Xuejiao stood up and greeted with a smile: "Chairman Ye, Minister Ye, Classmate Ye, come here quickly, come here, come here, sit here."

While waving, he pointed to an empty seat next to him.

Ye Sansheng said repeatedly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Classmate Gao will make fun of me."

He walked over without being polite and sat down next to Gao Xuejiao.

At a glance, there were already seven people sitting, two of them women. His eyes turned to the middle-aged man next to Gao Xuejiao. Gao Xuejiao raised his hand and introduced: "Old Ye, let me introduce you, Director Lei of the Yunyang District Transportation Bureau.

"

Director Lei stood up and stretched out his hand: "Xiaoye, which place are you sure you don't have?"

Ye Sansheng also quickly stood up, stretched out his hand to catch it, and said, "I won't know until I report in the day after tomorrow."

From this sentence, it can be heard that Gao Xuejiao has introduced himself to these people just now.

Director Lei laughed: "Our unit has not had anyone come in for two or three years. We should apply someday. Young people are energetic and can do things well."

Gao Xuejiao answered with a smile: "Leiju means that young people can work easily, and everyone else will be treated like an elder."

"Huo Lu" is a Jiangcheng dialect, which probably means work or labor. Ye Sansheng understood.

Director Lei didn't take it seriously: "We all did stupid things when we were young. We've all come this way. How can young people take over our job if they don't suffer a little and feel tired?"

"Zhanben" is also a dialect, which means doing heavy work.

Gao Xuejiao said: "If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow? The best thing to do is to see the light of day."

The two chatted and laughed casually, clearly showing a close relationship.

Following Gao Xuejiao and Lei Ju, they jointly introduced a table of people to Ye Sansheng. The three of them were from the Yunyang District Transportation Bureau, including the office director, the director of the Publicity Section, the director of the Transportation Management Office, and the remaining

One of the next two people is an intern reporter from Xichuan Metropolis Daily, and the other is Gao Xuejiao’s friend.

The director of the Office of the Transportation Bureau, whose surname is Ouyang, is a retired soldier. He has a strong body and a loud voice. At first glance, he looks like a cadre who has been tested for a long time. Li Xiaole, the head of the Publicity Section, is a middle-aged lady who still retains his charm and speaks softly.

, there is a unique femininity in every move, and you can imagine how charming you were when you were young. The Transportation Management Office is a relatively independent department in the Transportation Bureau, and the director Qiu Cheng is naturally a prince, a powerful figure, and he speaks and behaves very impressively.

Although he was sitting at the bottom, Ye Sansheng felt like a "man who catches a knife".

The position of Chief of Publicity Section is not a big deal, but Li Xiaole himself is not simple. Coupled with Director Lei, Office Director, and Transportation Management Director, it shows that the Transportation Bureau is not perfunctory about this dinner. Ye Sansheng is very curious about what reporter Gao told them

What a great report.

The trainee reporter's name is Wu Shengnan, with long flowing hair and pointed fingers. When Ye Sansheng shakes hands, it feels like holding a piece of soft ice. Gao Xuejiao exaggeratedly introduces him as his full-time driver. Wu Shengnan shyly explains that Teacher Gao is taking her now.

Ye Sansheng couldn't help but feel jealous. Gao Xuejiao had only been working for a long time, and he was not even a formal reporter, right? He was able to lead younger colleagues! It meant that he had established a foothold in the unit, was recognized, and had a bright future.

Gao Xuejiao's friend from the traffic police team is named Zhu Yong, who is the instructor of the accident squadron. He is several years older than Ye Sansheng and the others, but his name is Gao Xuejiao, Brother Gao. Gao Xuejiao said that Zhu Yong invited him to dinner several times and he

I couldn't attend the appointment separately, so I happened to have an appointment together today. The traffic police team and the traffic bureau are like a family.
Chapter completed!
