When Xu Wei came out of the office, he happened to meet Huo Yan, the director of civil affairs.
"Xiao Xu, this time the county promotes deputy section level cadres, you have great hope." Huo Yan said with a smile.
Huo Yan is four or five years older than Xu Wei. The two of them are of the same age and have a common language. They usually have more contact with the Party and Government Offices and Civil Affairs, so the relationship between the two is relatively good.
"Sister Huo, please stop making fun of me, there is no hope for me." Xu Wei smiled and shook his head.
After graduating from college, he took the civil service examination. At that time, the public examination was not like it is now. The positions were specific to the towns and needed to be allocated uniformly by the county organization department.
Because Xu Wei's family was out of town, it didn't matter, he was directly assigned to Hongshan Town, the most remote town in Qixian County.
On the first day he arrived here, Xu Wei regretted it. The green mountains in the distance, the flowing water, the charming scenery, and the environment were good. However, the economic conditions were very poor. The dilapidated township government compound was like a second- or third-class town.
The house from ten years ago, the large conference room where the plenary meeting was held, was still a product of the People's Commune. There was a five-pointed star carved on the red bricks, which said People's Commune for the People.
At that time, Xu Wei felt as if he had traveled back to a few decades ago. Compared with the bustling life of the provincial capital, which was full of entertainment and entertainment, it was completely different.
It's not like he never thought about resigning and leaving, but his mother didn't agree with anything he said.
So I had no choice but to work in this inhospitable place for two years.
What Huo Yan told him today, about promoting the township deputy department, Xu Wei couldn't even think about.
The family's economic conditions are very average. My father passed away five years ago, and my mother is an ordinary worker in a factory. She has no money at all, so she has to find connections for him.
But even if you have money, who should you go to if you are unfamiliar with the place?
"The cadres promoted this time will be promoted from your administrative staff." Huo Yan curled her lips, "I'm afraid those of us in public institutions will not have this opportunity."
Huo Yan's husband runs a factory and the family is quite wealthy. She originally planned to take advantage of the situation and get a part-time job, but she didn't expect that the threshold for selecting cadres was raised, which made her very depressed.
I kept the news secret and simply told Xu Wei today.
After listening to her words, Xu Wei was really moved, because Hongshan Town still lacks the position of Minister of Armed Forces. If everything goes well and he can become the deputy mayor, then he is not in this poor ravine.
These two years have been in vain.
"But, I can't find a way out." Xu Wei put his hands in his pockets with a wry smile on his face.
Huo Yan looked around and saw no one around, lowered her voice and said, "Just go find the second senior brother."
The second senior brother is Ding Changhe, secretary of the town party committee. Because he is fat, less than 1.65 meters tall and weighs 200 kilograms, people call him the second senior brother in private.
Of course, this is only limited to colleagues with good relationships. She would not dare to say this in front of certain people. After all, some people like to make small reports. As soon as you finished speaking here, maybe five minutes later, Ding
If Changhe knew about it, that would be a big mistake.
Turning to look at the time on the wall, Xu Wei said, "At eight forty-five, the leaders are having a meeting at this time."
He has never given gifts before and does not understand the rules at all.
Huo Yan covered her mouth and giggled. Her red nails were very eye-catching, "You are really funny. Are you going to find him like this?"
"Go to his house."
As she spoke, she stretched out a finger, poked Xu Wei's strong chest, and said in a rather ambiguous tone, "Little fool."
After leaving these words, she turned and left.
Seeing her twisting away from her back, Xu Wei's little heart started beating wildly.
Today is Friday, Xu Wei decided to go to the county town tomorrow and go to Ding Changhe's house for a walk.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
When he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Wei was standing in the yard, watching his colleagues go back to their nests like little swallows. Just when he was feeling disappointed, a car stopped in front of him, and Huo Yan's car glass slowly fell, "This
Are you going home for the weekend?”
"No reply." Xu Wei said.
The railway station in Qixian County is in the county seat. Usually when he goes home, Huo Yan drives him to the county seat and then takes the train home.
"Oh, then I wish you a happy weekend." Huo Yan raised the car window and the car just started when Xu Wei opened the door and got in.
"Hey, aren't you going to leave?" Huo Yan asked in surprise, "You changed your mind so quickly?"
Xu Wei grabbed the backrest of the driver's seat with both hands, came to her side and said, "I want to go to the county seat."
Tomorrow's buses will leave at seven o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon.
The morning trip was too early, and Xu Wei was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up.
And the afternoon trip was a bit late. After all, we still had to withdraw money and find Ding Changhe's home. If we were delayed, wouldn't it be very troublesome?
It's better to stay in the county town tonight, withdraw the money and deliver it to Ding Changhe tomorrow morning, which will give you plenty of time.
Huo Yan glanced at him thoughtfully through the reflector, "Have you figured it out?"
"Yeah." Xu Wei said.
As the car slowly drove out of Hongshan Town, Huo Yan asked, "Do you know where the second senior brother lives?"
"I don't know." Xu Wei answered honestly.
Huo Yan immediately rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know why I gave you a gift. What did you think?"
"You must know, right?" Xu Wei asked.
Huo Yan nodded, "Of course, but let me tell you, what's the benefit?"
benefit?
Tell her the address, do you need to bribe her?
The car stopped slowly. Huo Yan turned her head and asked seriously, "What benefits do I have?"
There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, with little stars shining in her eyes, releasing a fiery look that seemed to melt Xu Wei.
"What benefits do you want?" Xu Wei was a little embarrassed.
Even a fool understands the meaning of Huo Yan's words.
However, I have always regarded her as my eldest sister and have never had such thoughts.
"Fool." Huo Yan's eyes gradually cooled down, she cursed in a low voice, continued to start the car, and drove straight to the county seat.
Along the way, she taught Xu Wei a lot of things, including how to give gifts and what to say. Xu Wei benefited a lot.
When we arrived at the county seat, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Xu Wei got off the car at the entrance of the Agricultural Bank of China, then ran to the ATM and took out the 40,000 yuan from the two cards.
Then according to Huo Yan's instructions, she put the money into a wine box and went directly to Ding Changhe's home.
When he came to the door, Xu Wei felt nervous.
Although Sister Huo taught him a lot, he was still extremely nervous when things came to pass.
After gathering strength and taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Squeak.
The door was opened, and it was a young woman who opened the door.
"Chen Xiaohuan, why is it you?" Xu Wei was a little confused.
