Being insulted on the spot by his two immediate superiors, Li Xiaoning was not angry, but he did not get angry. He knew very well that he came to work, not to fight, and the situation in front of him was nothing but his own fault.
It's just the first difficulty encountered after joining the grassroots level. If you can't overcome this difficulty, then maybe as Kong Xiangrong said, you will have no choice but to rot in this place where nothing can be done.
Li Xiaoning shook his head helplessly. Just when he was about to talk to Pang Weidong, he saw Director Zhao of the Party Committee Office running over, "Mayor Li, I have already arranged your dormitory. I will find two people to clean it later and then we can move it in."
Once inside, the office may have to aggrieve you a bit. Our Pingshan Town is a notoriously poor place, and the office space is relatively tight. Just now, Secretary Pang told me that you are the deputy mayor in charge of family planning, so please move a table there first.
The Family Planning Office will try to squeeze it out and we will think of a solution later."
"Excuse me, Director Zhao. Please give me the key to the dormitory. I'll clean it myself after work." As Li Xiaoning spoke, he took out Su Yan again and handed it over. "As for the office, Secretary Pang's arrangements are very simple.
Okay, this will also help me get familiar with the work earlier. By the way, what is Director Zhao’s name?”
Director Zhao had never smoked Su cigarettes in his whole life, and Li Xiaoning had no airs at all, which made him feel a little flattered. He took the cigarette with a smile, insisted on lighting it for Li Xiaoning, and said with a flattering smile: "
Thanks to the leader, I will try this good smoke today. Oh, my name is Zhao Aihua. Mayor Li, it will be dinner time soon. You just came today, I will treat you to dinner at noon."
The reason why Zhao Aihua is so attentive is because he has his own considerations. First of all, Li Xiaoning is very approachable. Unlike Pang Weidong and the previous deputy mayor, who looked down on him because he came from "above".
For a local cadre like him, the second and most critical reason was that he saw the county organization director Ning Wanli and Li Xiaoning joining the party committee office together. Although Ning Wanli behaved domineeringly, he could see very clearly that Ning Wanli was not interested in
Li Xiaoning is very polite, which means that Li Xiaoning must have a very good background and will definitely have a bright future. If he relies on it now, he might make the right bet.
From Zhao Aihua's unintentional invitation, Li Xiaoning saw that Zhao Aihua wanted to get close to him, and at the same time he also knew something: on the first day that he, the deputy mayor, took office, neither the secretary nor the mayor had any intention of cleaning up the trouble for him.
.It seems that you still have to rely on yourself.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to the family planning office first, and then we'll talk about dinner after that."
The office of the Family Planning Office is not big, only about a dozen square meters. Originally, it was not very spacious with three people sitting there. Now that there is a desk in the back, it seems even more crowded. Li Xiaoning noticed that the desk
It was covered with dust, and it looked like it had just been moved from the warehouse. I guess that was my place.
There were three staff members from the Family Planning Office, two women and one man. One of them was a chubby woman in her thirties, and the other two were in their early twenties. What surprised Li Xiaoning in particular was the young girl.
This girl can be said to be the most beautiful thing Li Xiaoning has seen since arriving in Pingshan Town. It can even be described as stunning. She is tall and has a good figure. She is the kind of girl who looks thin and feels fleshy.
She has a good figure, has short hair that reaches her ears, and holds two simple hairpins on the left and right of her head. She tucks her hair tightly behind her ears, showing a smooth and white face. Her eyes are small and thin.
She is long, but very energetic, and her nose is slightly upturned, giving her a playful look and making her look very cute.
Zhao Aihua coughed a few times, attracting the attention of the three people in the room, and then said with a smile: "Let me introduce you. This is the new Mayor Li, who is in charge of family planning work. Everyone applauds and welcomes him."
Li Xiaoning also took the initiative and smiled and said: "It's my first time here, so please take care of me!"
To Li Xiaoning's surprise, except for the young beauty who took the initiative to say "Hello, Mayor Li!", the other two people actually ignored him at all. One continued to read the newspaper, and the other continued to knit a sweater.
Zhao Aihua smiled awkwardly, said, "Mayor Li, please go ahead and call me if you need anything." Then he ran away.
Li Xiaoning looked at his top subordinates, their heads were a little big, but he also knew that some things couldn't be rushed. He smiled and nodded to them, walked to his desk, looked at the dust all over the desk, and then asked himself
I found a bucket to get a bucket of water, picked up a rag and started cleaning. After wiping the desk clean, I saw that the floor was a little dirty, so I found a mop and mopped the floor, cleaning the corners.
After sorting out the messy newspaper rack, he sat down at his desk. He took out the pen from his pocket and put it on the desk.
But he didn't expect that the desk had been there for who knows how many years. There was a long crack on the table top. After the pen was placed on the table, it rolled into the crack and got stuck. Li Xiaoning took his finger.
After picking it out twice, it didn't come out.
"I'll do it, Mayor Li." The young beauty walked over with scissors in her hand and said.
"Thank you!" Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "What do you call me?"
"My name is Gu Yun." The young beauty answered while helping Li Xiaoning take out the pen, "Mayor Li, I see that you are from a big city. We are in a remote rural area and the conditions are difficult. Don't be ridiculous! We are here.
There is no good desk in the office, it’s all cracked. But yours is the widest crack and the desk is the worst!”
"I am your leader, so of course the gap is bigger than yours." Li Xiaoning joked with a smile, then looked back at Gu Yun's table and said, "Your gap is not too small!
"
As soon as the words came out, Li Xiaoning was shocked to realize that something was wrong. The words were not expressed accurately enough and could easily lead to ambiguity. Fortunately, Gu Yun was not the kind of rotten girl who spends her days hanging out with Tianya and Maopu. She did not hear it and instead blinked.
She exposed her beautiful eyelashes and said a bit naughtily: "Let me give you my glass plate." As she said this, she was about to take down the glass plate on her table.
"Hey, are you starting to fawn over now?" the middle-aged woman interjected in a weird voice.
"Sister Meng, what do you mean by this? The gap on Mayor Li's desk is so big that if he doesn't lay a glass plate, things will always fall into it. I lent him the glass plate so that it wouldn't affect his work. What do you mean?
Can you say that I was flattering him? Besides, I took this glass plate from home, I can do whatever I want, can you control it?" Gu Yun puffed up her cheeks and said to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman looked up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, curled her lips and said: "The cracks on my table are not small, why didn't I see Xiao Gu take the initiative to give me the glass plate? Mayor Xiao Li said
Come on, you start being attentive, are you trying to be flattery or something?" She deliberately emphasized the word 'small' in front of Li Xiaoning's job title, obviously looking down on Li Xiaoning.
This middle-aged woman is called Meng Meihong. She is the wife of Zhang Tiezhu, deputy secretary of the town party committee, and also the deputy director of the Family Planning Office. She is very aggressive. It is said that Zhang Tiezhu is overwhelmed by her in the family business. Over the years, she has been in charge of the work of the Family Planning Office.
, and her aggressive style is indeed very suitable for family planning work, but she has not been able to correct it because of her low education level. Now that the above has sent a young deputy mayor down, she is naturally unhappy, so she gives Li Xiaoning a
Show off your power.
Li Xiaoning naturally didn't know the twists and turns in this, but he couldn't be as knowledgeable as her, so he didn't argue with her at the moment, but said directly to Gu Yun: "You should keep it for yourself. You gave me the glass plate, you
The seams are exposed, and things can fall in."
Then Li Xiaoning said confidently to Meng Meihong and the young man who had been silent: "This is my first time here today. To be honest, the conditions here are indeed beyond my expectation. I promise you today that within one year,
I will completely improve the office conditions! Make the office beautiful so that everyone will not want to leave when they stay in the office!"
"Great!" Gu Yun applauded. But Meng Meihong and the young man continued to ignore Li Xiaoning.
This whole situation made Li Xiaoning a little embarrassed. Well, on his first day in office, he actually had to do everything possible to please his subordinates. He pretended to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then said: "It's almost lunch time, I
It's the first day today. Let's have a meal together at noon. I just want to get acquainted with everyone. I'll treat you. There are many new colleagues I haven't met yet, so I'd like you to inform them! By the way, let me call you, Director Zhao."
When Meng Meihong heard that someone was inviting guests to dinner, her eyes immediately lit up and she said with a smile on her face: "How can we let the leaders spend money? It is reasonable and reasonable that we should treat you..."
Gu Yun and the young man also nodded and said, "Yes, it's our turn to ask the leader."
Li Xiaoning waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't argue, I am the only one who has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, but you all have to support the family, so I will pay for this meal, and you can pay for it later..."
Meng Meihong was just putting on a show and didn't even think of paying for it herself. That young man's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, so it really felt distressing to ask him to pay for a dinner party. She also saw that Li Xiaoning was wearing something she didn't recognize.
He bought brand-name clothes (the ones Tang Wei bought), and he seemed to be a wealthy owner, so he stopped insisting and went to inform other colleagues.
I don't know whether it's because Li Xiaoning's personal charm is really great, or because everyone thinks someone is treating him and he won't get anything for nothing. In short, when Li Xiaoning walked out of the family planning office, he found that there was a large group of people waiting for him at the door, which was quite small.
Twenty people. However, there are no leading cadres above the deputy mayor, which is basically consistent with what Li Xiaoning expected.
