evening.
In the small courtyard of the Yao family.
"Hello, Director Ma."
"Xiao Yao, where are you at home? How is your health?"
"Thank you for your concern, boss. I'm feeling better. I should be able to go to work tomorrow."
"That's good. By the way, some cadres from the neighboring county are here. There is a dinner party here."
"Director Ma, I still have a cold. I really can't drink today. You see..."
"I'm not letting you drink. Just come over and keep me company. The main thing is to eat. Just put aside what you're doing and come over as soon as possible."
"But… "
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."
Beep beep, Ma Bin hung up the phone.
The volume of the mobile phone was not low, and Dong Xuebin and the others next to them heard the conversation.
Father Yao immediately scolded, "This Ma Bin is really not a thing! He drags my Cui'er with him every time we socialize and eat! What does he mean? Cui'er is still sick here! And last time! That guy surnamed Ma I kept pouring wine for our Tweety! In the end, Tweety didn’t even know what to do! If Tweety hadn’t been smart enough to call me secretly in advance and asked me to pick her up, who might have taken advantage of her! Woolen cloth!"
Mother Yao also said with a dark face: "None of these county government cadres are good! Look at our Cui'er's beauty! They are all trying to take advantage of Cui'er!"
Yao Cui interrupted: "Dad, Mom!"
Yao Li also said: "Sister, please don't go!"
"What if I don't go?" Yao Cui rubbed his forehead in frustration, "That's my immediate boss. The head of our secretarial department has to listen to Ma Bin." After saying that, he covered his mouth and coughed again. Dong Xuebin Immediately handed over a napkin, Yao Cui turned away and blew her nose, looking uncomfortable.
Mother Yao was worried: "You are so sick, how can you get there?"
Father Yao spoke, "Just eat with me honestly! You are not allowed to go anywhere today!"
"Dad!" Yao Cui said helplessly: "I'm tired from work now. If I don't give Director Ma face, what will I do if he wears small shoes for me?"
Ma Bin, this is the director of the Zhenshui County Government Office. He serves all county leaders. He has a lot of real power and a large network of connections in the county. Yao's father and mother also know that Ma Bin cannot be offended, but...
Yao's father hummed: "The worst case is that I will quit my job."
Yao Cui said: "Last time I wanted to resign because of these annoying things. How did you and my mother persuade me? I said that my younger brother hasn't found a job yet. If I quit, my family's living expenses would be tight, so I was asked to endure it. This time Is that what you said? Are you asking me to resign again?"
Father Yao glared at her, "I'm afraid you'll suffer!"
Yao Li's eyes turned red, he clenched his fists and said, "Sister, it's all my fault!"
Yao Cui knocked her little brother on the head and said with a smile: "Sister, it's okay, what does it have to do with you? Haha, okay, okay, I won't go, I will just eat at home today!"
Father Yao greeted: "That's right, eat and eat."
"Then I'll make a call. Well, what should I say?" Yao Cui picked up the phone and thought for a while, but still didn't dare to call Ma Bin. Instead, she called Section Chief Cai of their secretarial department. She estimated that Section Chief Cai was with They are together. It is said that it is a secretarial department, or that it is a section chief. In fact, it is just a nice name. Naturally, the secretarial department under the county government office cannot be at the department level. Ma Bincai, the director of the county government office, is only a township department-level cadre.
Beep beep, the call is connected.
"Hey, I'm still on the way. Xiao Yao, are you here?" A woman's voice came from the other side.
Yao Cui immediately said: "Chief Cai, I haven't recovered yet, and suddenly I got a little worse. I may not be able to go."
Section Chief Cai said in an unhappy tone: "Director Ma asked you to go by name, and he also said he would call you personally."
Yao Cui pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "I really can't move. I have a severe headache. Please help me ask for leave from Director Ma. I'm really sorry."
Section Chief Cai smacked his lips, "You said you, little Yao, Director Ma valued you when he called your name, and you still pushed for the third and fourth. And today, our county's executive deputy county magistrate took office, how important it is." Days, after the work is assigned, the executive deputy county magistrate will definitely be in charge of the county government as usual. Let alone us, Director Ma has to look at other people's faces. You'd better not come if you don't want to come. "Cai Ke said on the phone. The director criticized Yao Cui for a long time, and finally said, "Let me tell Director Ma." He hung up the phone.
Yao Cui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I have offended someone again." Then he looked at Dong Xuebin and said: "Everyone envies civil servants, but when you come in, you realize that it is not the case at all, especially when the county government Planting a place and having a lot of entertainment is really annoying.”
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Don't worry, as I said last time, you will definitely be promoted within a week."
Yao Cui said: "Do you still remember that bet? I thought you were joking, promotion? For today's matter, it would be nice if you don't send me out!"
Yao Li wondered: "Sister, what promotion?"
Yao Cui said: "I made a joke with Xue Bin before, it's okay."
Dong Xuebin took a bite of food and didn't explain.
"Stop worrying about anything and let's eat."
"Yes, use your chopsticks. Don't wait for it to get cold."
"Xiao Dong, please eat more today."
While eating, Dong Xuebin also saw that Yao Cui was not in a particularly good mood and was always distracted. He was probably still thinking about the matter of rejecting Ma Bin just now.
Dong Xuebin said with relief: "Yao Cui, don't think too much."
Yao Cui forced a smile and said, "That's what I said, but I don't know how Ma will deal with me after I go to work tomorrow. He's a man who is bullying his subordinates."
Ring ring ring, Dong Xuebin’s cell phone rang.
When I picked it up, I saw Ma Bin's number displayed on the screen.
"Excuse me, I'm going to answer the phone." After accusing him, Dong Xuebin walked away with his cell phone and answered: "Hello." Knowing that Ma Bin seemed to be interested in Yao Cui, he still called him every time His old classmates entertained him with wine and dinner. Dong Xuebin's attitude towards Ma Bin was no longer what it was at noon, and his tone was much colder.
"County Magistrate Dong, I'm Ma Bin."
"I know."
"I want to report to you that several cadres from the neighboring county have come to discuss a cooperation. They should have dinner at the guest house in a while. You see..."
"I'm at a friend's house. You guys can eat."
"If the cooperation is discussed, the details..."
"I haven't finished the division of labor yet, and I'm not familiar with the work here, so I won't point fingers. You can talk to the deputy county magistrate or County Magistrate Jiang about the specific matters." Ma Bin seemed to be reporting on work, but in fact Maybe he wanted to invite Dong Xuebin to dinner and build a good relationship. If it was in the afternoon, Dong Xuebin might have agreed, but now, how could Dong Xuebin give him face? He was ready to bang Ma Bin.
Walking back, Dong Xuebin sat down and continued eating.
Yao Cui looked at him and said, "Colleague's?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Let me go over to eat."
Yao Cui said: "Let's go then. You have just been here for a few days. You have to build a good relationship with your colleagues. Otherwise, everyone like me will be offended. How can you work in the future?"
Dong Xuebin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay. Even if I offend someone, I have to finish our meal before talking about it. It's so delicious. My uncle and aunt's craftsmanship is beyond praise."
Father Yao laughed, "Xiao Dong still knows how to talk!"
Yao Cui was also happy, pointing to Dong Xuebin and saying: "Xuebin was not like this when he was in college. He wished he could not say a word every day."
Mother Yao said unexpectedly: "Can't you? I think Xiao Dong is quite cheerful?"
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "When I was in college, I was quite introverted. I could only say a few words when eating with Yao Cui, haha."
The atmosphere in the yard returned to normal, and everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting together.
…
the other side.
Ma Bin waited for Dong Xuebin to hang up the phone before putting the phone away. There was some anxiety in his eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable. I got in touch at noon. Deputy County Magistrate Dong is very approachable. He doesn’t have any airs or the arrogance of a successful young man. He seems quite easy to get in touch with. // Fastest text update www.shumilou.com No pop-ups and no ads // But why was he so cold to me on the phone just now? Ma Bin could still hear that tone.
Did you offend him
No! how can that be possible!
Ma Bin was in a bad mood after thinking about it.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked up from the other side of the road, "Director Ma, are we here?"
Ma Bin looked at her, "Here is Section Chief Cai? He hasn't arrived yet. He just called and said he would be half an hour late. By the way, where are Xiao Yao, Xiao Zhang and the others? Not with you?"
Section Chief Cai looked at his watch, "Xiao Zhang is coming right now. Xiao Yao's place, call me and say that he is seriously ill and has a headache. Please let me ask you for leave."
"Seriously ill? When I called just now, I said I was much better!" Ma Bin's face didn't look good.
Section Chief Cai huffed, "Maybe I caught a cold again. How about I ask Xiaoyue to come over and have a drink with me?"
Ma Bin said solemnly: "This little Yao, she pushes and blocks every time she socializes. What the hell! Doesn't she know that socializing in government offices is also their main job?"
Section Chief Cai also saw that Director Ma was in a bad mood for some reason, and did not dare to say it to him, "Then... shall I call Xiao Yao again?"
"Her home is on the nearby street, right?"
"Yes, it's not far from here."
"Let's go directly to her house. I can't invite her anymore?"
Ma Bin became a little impetuous because of Deputy County Magistrate Dong's subtle attitude. When he heard that Xiao Yao didn't give him face, he immediately became unhappy. County Magistrate Dong didn't give him face, and Ma Bin couldn't say anything because County Magistrate Dong was his leader, and Ma Bin did not dare to say anything, but the same was true for Xiao Yao. Ma Bin felt that his authority as a leader had been challenged for a while, and the cadres from the neighboring county would be late, so he simply went to Yao Someone is being dragged into the Cui family.
Even Dong Xuebin, the executive deputy, didn't have a car, and neither did Ma Bin and Section Chief Cai. They had to walk there. Ma Bin had a dark face and said nothing all the way.
Section Chief Cai knew that Director Ma was angry, and he also knew that Yao Cui was going to be in trouble. Alas, this little Yao only wants to have a meal and drink with her, so why should you
