It was a pleasure to have friends from far away. When Gao Yang saw this, he said: "I'm sorry, brother, this is the police canteen, but it's also open to the public. You can eat if you pay."

"So that's it." The young man then touched his pocket, took out his mobile phone and said, "Is mobile payment okay?"

"Of course, I'll help you see how many meals are left." Master Kang answered, stood up and walked towards the food window.

At this moment, the two rice cooks were sitting inside chatting about their parents' affairs.

Master Kang counted the food, then turned around and asked: "Young man, there are braised fish, shredded pork with green peppers, and some spareribs. There are not many vegetables left. Do you want it? Do you want me to get you some more."

"I want it." The young man stepped forward quickly, took out his mobile phone and said, "Where can I scan the QR code?"

"You pay me, I'll pay you with my meal card."

"good."

The two completed the transaction at the food window.

Then, the young man and Master Kang returned to their previous seats.

Seeing the young man gobbling down his lunch, Gao Yang looked disgusted and said, "What's the situation over there? Isn't the river pollution problem easy to solve? Is it necessary to go to the district to make trouble?"

"

"You don't understand." The young man swallowed a few mouthfuls of food and then explained: "Is this a matter of river pollution? No, this is a matter of grudges in several villages."

"These villages have had deep grievances over the years. They just took advantage of this river pollution situation to release the grievances they had held for many years, and it exploded."

"This time, the villages upstream have polluted the water source. The villages downstream have not caught you, so they should treat you well, right?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "We are all in the same place. Is it necessary to do this? I would say it would be best if we all sit down and talk."

"That's right." Seeing Gu Chen speak, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Isn't it good for fellow villagers to be harmonious?"

"The key is that these people don't want to sit down and talk." The young man also said while eating, obviously troubled by this matter.

Gu Chen suddenly exclaimed: "Speaking of the conflicts between people in these villages, what does that have to do with you? You must not be from those villages, right?"

"Yeah." The young man nodded quickly and said, "My family lives in the city, but my place of work is in Panlong Town, and many workers in that company are from those villages."

"Usually, this group of people likes to form cliques, and they will take action if they disagree at work. We, the managers, can't stop them."

"It's quite tragic." After listening to this, Officer Wang nodded frequently: "If township enterprises are infected by this clique atmosphere, I'm afraid the benefits will not be much better, right?"

"Haha." The young man also laughed and said: "Benefits? Don't tell me the benefits. From the management to the workers, they are all villagers in these villages. The management is a mess, and these managers like to protect their own children and the people of the village.

, it’s easy to cause conflicts.”

"And as a former deputy manager of the administrative department in the urban area, I felt like being a wet nurse. I had a lot of chores. Even something as simple as fixing a light bulb would have to happen to me several times a day."

After thinking about it, the young man also let out a long sigh and said: "That is to say, I have no one under me. The same few workshop directors have dozens of people under them, who can make all the difference. I feel like I am caught in the middle and can't do anything well."

, the interests of several parties must be taken into account in everything, and I am really not a human being in the middle."

"Yeah." Police trainee Xiao Zhao quickly raised his hand and said, "I can prove this. In fact, he has been coordinating the relationship between these people. It's just that the local people are too tough. Although he is the deputy manager of the administration department,

But it’s actually quite miserable.”

After finishing lunch, the young man took out a napkin, dipped it in his mouth, and introduced himself: "I'm sorry, everyone, I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Liu Xiaofan, and I am the administrative department of Xingguang Shoe Factory in Panlong Town.

Deputy Manager.”

"Hey, you have become the deputy manager of the administrative department at a young age. You have a promising future." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but joke.

Liu Xiaofan blushed and said: "Where is it? I just came up from the reserve cadre step by step. I am just lucky. I work 996 hours every day and I am as tired as a dog."

"996?" Ding Liang suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, okay, it's similar to us police officers. Sometimes we work for 40 consecutive days. Maybe at that time, we have some expectations for 996."

"It's definitely different from you police officers. What you do is very meaningful, but our 996 is basically doing meaningless things."

"What do you mean?" Gu Chen looked at him curiously, feeling that Liu Xiaofan was "Liu Xiaofan".

Liu Xiaofan put the dinner plate aside and said: "First of all, have you ever encountered a meaningless meeting where the leader on the stage speaks for two hours?"

"It's too much, what does it count?" Huang Zunlong looked disdainful, feeling that Liu Xiaofan was just throwing water on the police force's meeting.

"Yeah." Liu Xiaofan nodded and said, "There are quite a few hours of meetings, but the leader only conveyed one so-called effective message to us."

"But what on earth is he talking about? Our colleagues in the audience brainstormed for 10 minutes and only came up with one result: what to eat for lunch today?"

"Haha." Lu Weiwei laughed like a pig and said, "The meeting you held was a bit of a failure. Compared with your meeting, our police meetings are all about conveying spirit and work instructions, and they are very purposeful."

"And it is held according to the content of the meeting. If it can be completed in one hour, it will be held for one hour. If it cannot be held for two hours or three hours, it will be held. Sometimes a two-hour meeting will be adjourned after one hour. It will never be held.

Waste of time." Gu Chen also followed Lu Weiwei and continued to add.

Liu Xiaofan gave a thumbs up: "Your police force is really powerful. It would be great if our leaders could be as efficient as you."

"You don't know that we get off work every day at a loss. When it's time to get off work, you can see that there are people doing everything, but no one wants to leave, not even my colleagues. How can I be embarrassed?"

"Why don't you leave? That's your right to get off work." Gu Chen couldn't help but said calmly.

Liu Xiaofan waved his hand and said: "Comrade policeman, I have also considered your question, but later everyone told me that this is a culture, and staying here is a symbol of hard work, so I have to put it off even if I have nothing to do."

"Our police force is really not as hypocritical as your company in this regard." After hearing this, the senior police officer couldn't help but complain: "We have inefficient meetings, we dare not leave after get off work, we waste our own time, and we don't work overtime. Fei, there's no point in sitting there."

Leaning back, Officer Gao suddenly said proudly: "Look at our police officers. Whether they are off duty or not, the key depends on whether the problem has been solved. If the problem is not solved, even if we don't eat, we still have to help you solve it."

"I can see it." Liu Xiaofan said with a smile: "As for you, senior police officer, I really admire you. It took so long for you to go back to the cafeteria to eat. In terms of professionalism." Liu Xiaofan patted his thigh and gave a thumbs up.

Said: "You are this, and we..."

Liu Xiaofan immediately changed the direction of his thumb.

"Hahaha, you are doing this to yourselves. Is it interesting to show it to the boss?" Lu Weiwei felt that such a 996 was inhumane and even flattering.

"Of course it's boring." Liu Xiaofan put on a bitter look and said, "In the end, you work endless overtime, and before you get off work, your boss throws another job in your face, and you have to finish it immediately, because he has to see it the day after tomorrow.

."

"We'll see about it the day after tomorrow. Why do you have to finish it today?" Gu Chen was also quite curious and felt that the logic didn't make sense.

"Because tomorrow, he will give you a new job, and he will see it the day after tomorrow." Liu Xiaofan said weakly.

"Hahaha." The surrounding police officers burst into laughter.

"Of course." Liu Xiaofan suddenly picked up the topic again and said: "If my work is really too long to be completed in eight hours, then I really want to ask my boss sincerely, how many more people can he hire?

Is that so? It’s like picking at someone’s skin.”

"So, with 996, I don't have a happy day. From Monday to Sunday, every day I look forward to death. Am I going to work?"

"No, you are going to visit the grave." Officer Wang said.

Liu Xiaofan also laughed and said: "So? Do you feel the same way?"

"I, Liu Xiaofan, have finally come to some realizations over the past few years of my work. This is just the beginning, because once your work becomes obsolete, you can't help but become obsolete with your own life. First of all, you can't have any leisure and entertainment, right?"

All the police officers looked at each other, then nodded.

"That's right." Someone agreed.

"That's right, there's only Sunday left in the week, but is Sunday just for you to play with? No, it's for you to mentally build up when you go to work on Monday. If you want to have fun, there's only one day left in the week, and it's not enough for you to sober up.

of."

"And if you want to go on a trip, wait for a short vacation. You said that people say that the meaning of travel is not the destination, but the scenery along the way. But there are only cars along the way, so where is the scenery?"

"And everyone, everyone, everyone, you, everyone, everyone." Lu Weiwei quickly added.

"Yes, yes." Liu Xiaofan also agreed very much and said, "When we finally arrived at the destination, we saw that it was all people. We might as well watch the cars on the road."

"And not only that, your mobile phone has also turned into a bomb. Any text message notification sound will make you feel terrified, like a frightened bird."

"So I, Liu Xiaofan, am definitely not in 996, but in."

Gu Chen glanced at Liu Xiaofan and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Liu Xiaofan's work is not much different from that of our police officers?"

"That's that." Liu Xiaofan also said seriously: "And in the end, my health is getting worse. The bags under my eyes are big enough to hold pocket money, and the hair is falling out enough to knit sweaters."

"It's better to go to the hospital for a physical examination. When I got the results, I thought I was getting a big advantage."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was a little confused.

How can I still take advantage of going to the hospital for a check-up?

"What's going on in the hospital?" Officer Wang couldn't help but ask more.

Liu Xiaofan said with a smile: "Because I only spent two hundred yuan and was diagnosed with more than a dozen diseases. If I don't get 886, I will wait for 120. Anyway, I am planning to resign. I am as tired as my grandson every day."

I quit."

It feels like Liu Xiaofan came to the police canteen to vent his anger?

Immediately, Gu Chen also smiled: "That's right, when you hold a meeting, you are really following the script and forcing breakdowns."

"Impossible." Lu Weiwei also waved her hand and said: "We can't discuss what to eat in 10 minutes, at least half an hour to start."

"Really." Another old comrade also interjected: "The place where my uncle used to work was like this, meaningless meetings and meaningless work.

"I have a shadow when it comes to meetings." Master Kong also felt the same and said with a smile: "I used to work in a company where we had morning meetings in the morning, lunch meetings at noon, and evening meetings."

"I will also notify you to attend meetings during holidays. This is not the point. The point is that after every meeting, I ask you to express your thoughts. I'll stop you. Even now I don't dare to go to a place where meetings are held. What the hell?

Everything is shadowed."
