Official road bends

Chapter 6

The car stopped outside the guest house, Li Yi wanted to ask Qian Duo to invite Shu Chang out for a meal.After thinking about it, I am aboveboard with her, and I don't have an ambiguous relationship with the waiter like other leaders, so what are you afraid of?He got out of the car and walked towards the guest house.

Liu Guangming, the director of the guest house, was talking to people at the front desk, with sharp eyes, saw the car parked outside, ran out quickly, greeted Li Yi, nodded and bowed and said: "Mayor Li, hello, welcome to the county guest house to check the work !"

Li Yi nodded at him and said, "I'm here to see a friend. Go get busy."

Liu Guangming smiled and walked beside Li Yi, leaning slightly sideways, making a gesture of leading the way, and asked Li Yi to go to the guest house.

If the leader asks you to go to work, that's just polite, you have to be serious, if you really leave the leader and go to your own affairs, it would seem too sincere.Liu Guangming has also been in the officialdom for some years, so he can still understand these words.

The receptionist at the front desk knew Li Yi, put his hands on his abdomen, bent slightly, and shouted respectfully: "Hello County Magistrate Li!"

Li Yi nodded slightly.

"County Li, I don't know which room your friend lives in?" Liu Guangming asked with a smile.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Hehe, I really don't know which room she lives in now. Please check it for me."

Liu Guangming said, "May I ask your friend's name?"

Li Yi said: "Shu Chang is my former waiter."

Liu Guangming's face changed, and then he smiled and said, "Comrade Shu Chang, hehe, wait a moment, I'll call her right away."

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "No, just tell me where she is, and I'll go find her."

Liu Guangming said: "You are the big leader, how can I ask you to go there in person, Xiaoyu, go and call Shu Chang over."

The receptionist responded and ran back.

How powerful Li Yi's eyes are, Liu Guangming's change in appearance just now cannot escape his eyes, thinking that there is something hidden in it?Immediately, he took a step forward and followed that Xiaoyu to walk inside.

Liu Guangming wanted to reach out to stop him, but Qian Duo put his hand on his shoulder and pulled it lightly. Liu Guangming suddenly felt like a pair of steel pliers clamped his shoulder, unable to move his whole body.

Liu Guangming turned his head, bared his teeth in pain and yelled, "Brother Comrade, what's wrong?"

Qian Duo was expressionless, and said coldly: "If you dare to stretch out your hand to County Mayor Li, I will chop off your paw!"

Liu Guangming nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, Brother Comrade, I don't dare anymore. I'm just afraid that County Mayor Li will be tired."

Qian Duo snorted coldly: "You don't need to worry about it!" Quickly followed Li Yi.

Liu Guangming rubbed his sore shoulder, smiled wryly, and ran up with his feet loose.

There are two roads behind, one leads to the small building in the back garden where Li Yi lived, and the other leads to the staff dormitory area of ​​the guest house.

Most of the employees in the guest house are contract workers or temporary workers, neither administrative nor professional, and they are not official state employees.

In this era, it is more enviable to have an official national employee establishment than to be rich.Because when there is a lot of wealth and poverty, the state employees continue to make money.

Since they are not state employees, they don't pay much attention to their residences. They are low and damp bungalows, and the weather is like a steamer. When it rains, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside.

No wonder the waiters are looking forward to working as waiters for the leader in the small building at the back, eating the same pot of food with the leader, sleeping in the same suite, working easily, and watching TV in their free time.For poor girls like them who came out of the countryside, compared to this kind of staff dormitory, the life in Xiaoyuan over there is already an enviable luxury.

Xiaoyu was trotting ahead, seeing Li Yi and others following up, she had to slow down, and when she entered the dormitory area, she shouted loudly: "Shu Chang, Shu Chang!"

A female staff member who was resting in the dormitory responded, "Shu Chang has been ill for a long time, and she is lying in the dormitory to sleep!"

Li Yi asked her: "What disease?"

The female staff member didn't know Li Yi, so she replied casually: "I have a cold and a fever. It's been a long time, and the weather was too cold a while ago. She was responsible for washing work clothes and sheets. She washed them for three consecutive months, and there was no hot water. Can I not catch a cold?" ?”

Li Yi frowned, washing clothes in cold water for three consecutive months?Didn't she start washing clothes after she moved out?

"Comrade, is your work clothes and bed sheets cleaned by one person?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.

Liu Guangming had already followed, stood beside him, panting slightly, and said, "County Li, our work clothes and bed sheets..."

Li Yi didn't wait for him to finish, and glanced at him sharply.

Liu Guangming's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately closed his mouth rationally.

As soon as the female staff member heard the words of County Magistrate Li, she covered her mouth with her hand, put it down again, bent over to Li Yi, and shouted: "Hello County Magistrate Li!"

Li Yi hummed, his tone eased, and said: "Comrade, don't be cautious, please answer my question just now."

"This, that..." The female staff stood at a loss, looked at Li Yi, and then at Liu Guangming.

Although Liu Guangming's official position is small, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one!Liu Guangming is the head of the guest house. Li Yi is here, he is like a worm, once Li Yi leaves, he will be alive and majestic!She couldn't help but not be afraid.

Li Yi sneered and said, "Director Liu, what's the matter? Are there any secrets in your little county guest house?"

Liu Guangming complained incessantly, and shouted to the female staff member, "Are you stuttering? The county magistrate Li asked you something, and you didn't hear it? Answer it quickly!"

The female staff member hurriedly said, "County Li, I don't know how our work clothes and bed sheets were washed before. I'm new here."

From her cowardly expression, it can be seen how much water is in these words.

Li Yi didn't make things difficult for her, he gave Liu Guangming a look, and asked that Xiaoyu, "Comrade Xiaoyu, tell me. I remember you and Comrade Shu Chang are good friends, right?"

Xiaoyu glanced at Liu Guangming timidly, and said: "The work clothes and bed sheets used to be taken care of by special cleaners, and they were usually rough-handed old mothers in the countryside. They are generally not afraid of cold water. Moreover, when it is too cold , will also be washed with hot water."

Li Yi's face became more gloomy, and he asked: "Then, why is Comrade Shu Chang's turn to wash clothes and sheets? Isn't she a floor attendant?"

Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "County Li, I really don't know about this. I'm just a little waiter."

Li Yi slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Guangming: "Comrade Liu Guangming, can you give me an explanation?"

Liu Guangming groaned twice, stuttering and unable to speak. Now it is the warm and cold spring, but there are already beads of sweat on his forehead.

Facing Li Yi's gloomy face and murderous eyes, Liu Guangming took a long time to hold back a sentence: "County Li, this is all revolutionary work, the division of labor is different, and the work of washing clothes also needs people to do it. ah……"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and was about to explode on the spot.

Xiaoyu is very good at seeing people's eyes, so she hurriedly whispered: "County Li, let's go and see Shu Chang first."

Li Yi snorted heavily and said, "Xiaoyu, you lead the way."

Walking into a room with a very low floor, Li Yi's eyes suddenly darkened.

This room originally had a window, but it was blocked by two double-decker iron beds. There was no light in the room, so the room looked very dark.

Li Yi slowly adapted to the darkness of the room.

The small room is filled with double-decker single beds. In the center of the room, there is a wooden table with mottled paint and some ages.

Apart from these things, the gap is only enough for one person to pass.

Xiaoyu walked to a bunk bed, stretched out her hand and pushed the sleeping person on the upper bunk, and softly shouted: "Shu Chang, Shu Chang! County Magistrate Li is here to see you!"

Li Yi saw a mess of dry hair exposed, and the whole face of the person on the bed was buried in the quilt.Do you think this is comfortable?That lively and cute one with black hair?

"Huh?" The patient on the bed let out a soft hum, obviously a little fuzzy and didn't understand what Xiaoyu said.

Liu Guangming shouted: "Shu Chang, County Magistrate Li is here to see you! Get up quickly! It's just a cold, who hasn't had it? Is it so serious?"

Li Yi walked to the bed and asked softly, "Shu Chang, are you okay?"

When Shu Chang heard Li Yi's voice, it was as if he had taken a panacea 'medicine'. He suddenly woke up and whispered: "Mayor Li, is it really you?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Of course it's me! Hehe, I suddenly thought of you, so I came to see how you are doing? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Shu Changqiang cheered up, but refused to 'show' his head, he just said: "County Li, you go out first, I'll get up and wash my face before going to see you. Okay?"

Li Yi knows that women love beauty, and he definitely doesn't like being seen by outsiders in his current appearance, so he smiled understandingly and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you outside."

Everyone backed out.

Li Yi looked at the surrounding environment and asked: "Comrade Liu Guangming, can the treatment of employees in your office be improved a little bit? I counted just now, and it takes twelve people to sleep in such a small room!"

Liu Guangming said: "County Li, I also want to improve their living conditions, but the finances don't allow it! These dormitories were built in the 50s, and that's how they came here at that time. Besides, what factory do they work outside now? Don’t you sleep in a collective dormitory here? Which dormitory doesn’t sleep eight or twelve people!”

Li Yi said: "The housing conditions can't be improved, but the housing environment can be improved a little bit! The humidity in the room is too heavy, and the sun can't be seen all year round! And outside, look, what's all 'chaotic' It looks like it!"

Liu Guangming said: "Yes, our County Guest House must follow the instructions of County Magistrate Li, overcome difficulties and improve the living environment of employees."

After hearing such unnutritious official words, Li Yi hummed lightly in reply.

The door creaked open, and Shu Chang walked out.
