Mu Guifang froze for a moment, tears streaming down her face suddenly.Mu Guifang was a cadre promoted from the grassroots a few years ago. She used to work as a communication officer in the county and wrote some articles. Otherwise, she would not have been put in her current position. She has learned how to write articles, and she has figured it out in practice. She probably doesn't understand if she is right or not.In fact, many people say behind their backs that Mou Guifang's articles are too dry, with only opinions and no literary talent.Of course, Mu Guifang also knew what others thought of her, so Cheng Xiaoxi's words hit her where it hurt the most.

What's more, Cheng Xiaoxi was "valued" by the Ma Department as soon as she came, and she suddenly showed her advantages over Mou Guifang - young, beautiful, and educated.Mu Guifang has been in the government information office for many years, and has met many leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. They have held meetings and chatted with each other. That's a little bit of meaning, the other leaders didn't leave the slightest impression of her at all, even Director Ma, it wasn't her ability that mattered, but her body.

Speaking of which, Mou Guifang was also a girl full of beautiful ideals back then. With her beauty, she could find a "good husband", but she still married a poor man who was assigned to work in her hometown after graduating from university without hesitation. student.

But after so many years of hard work, what have I gained?My husband is still a small deputy department-level cadre.Seeing that her husband could not be counted on, Mou Guifang thought about planning for herself, but as a woman who has no relationship and no education, what way out can she have?The only thing she can rely on is a body that can attract men, so although she is [-] percent unwilling in her heart, she still has to let Director Ma, that old pervert, take advantage of her, and this is how she is now treated as a professional.Director Ma also promised her that he would promote her to be deputy director in two years.

But the appearance of Cheng Xiaoxi now made her feel the powerlessness she felt back then, and tears flowed down her face.

Cheng Xiaoxi, however, has no intentions, and she doesn't know much about Mu Guifang's past and the experiences of these years. She just thinks that Mu Guifang is narrow-minded, so she speaks directly. Unexpectedly, Mu Guifang cried, and she was a little at a loss, but thinking about it, it was Mu Guifang. She didn't have to apologize to the one who provoked her first, and the two of them became bored and didn't talk.

"What do you think I should do now?" Cheng Xiaoxi asked Li Xiaoning with a pouted mouth after she finished explaining what had happened during her time at the Government Information Office.

After listening to Cheng Xiaoxi's babble, Li Xiaoning pondered for a while and said, "How long did it take you to write that manuscript?"

"Nearly two days!" Cheng Xiaoxi said with big eyes flashing, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"If Mou Guifang wrote it, how long would it usually take?" Li Xiaoning asked again.

Cheng Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "Well, she writes slowly. It usually takes three days. For something profound like mine, it takes a week anyway."

Li Xiaoning chuckled and said, "That's right, you wrote it so quickly, either because you can write better than her, or because you didn't take it seriously and dealt with it casually."

"Where, when I went to the grassroots level, I did the interview seriously, and I stayed up until two o'clock in the evening when I wrote it. How can you say that I didn't take it seriously?" Cheng Xiaoxi pouted with a wronged expression on his face. Said.

Li Xiaoning pulled the last bite of noodles into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I don't know you are serious yet? But in Mou Guifang's eyes, you don't think so. If you cook faster than her, it means you are not serious."

"She's obviously jealous. At the beginning, she said she wanted to take care of me and give me advice. That's how she took care of me?" Cheng Xiaoxi said angrily.

Li Xiaoning pinched her nose and said, "Xiaoxi, you have to understand. Mou Guifang is not obliged to teach you, to revise your manuscripts, to be your secretary. In the workplace, if someone treats you well, it is his own good to teach you something. It's her affection, it's normal not to teach you, it's just her duty, even if the leader appoints her to take you, she still has no such obligation."

"But..." Cheng Xiaoxi was still not convinced.

"You have to think from her point of view, why should she treat you well, why should she teach you sincerely, and revise the manuscript for you?" Li Xiaoning said calmly, "Don't forget that your existence is so important to you." She is a threat, she guards against you, and it is normal to give you small shoes to wear. Once you figure this out, everything will make sense."

"Then how can I stay in the press office?" Cheng Xiaoxi scratched his head angrily.

"Are you full of grievances and resentment now, and even regard Mou Guifang as an enemy?" Li Xiaoning began to clean up the dishes.

"You leave it alone, let me do it." Cheng Xiaoxi snatched the bowls and chopsticks from Li Xiaoning's hand, and said, "Yes. How can I not be wronged if she treats me like this? Besides, she has treated me like this, I won't take it If she is an enemy, should she still be a benefactor?"

Li Xiaoning stood up and said, "You are passive like this. People will only say that you are young and immature, that you can't deal with old comrades well, and they won't say that Mou Guifang doesn't take care of you enough."

"No way?" Cheng Xiaoxi was a little discouraged, "Then what should I do now?"

Li Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "You first bring me the manuscript you wrote."

Cheng Xiaoxi turned on the computer, called up the document, and said, "This is this one, you can read it."

Li Xiaoning read it carefully, then nodded and said, "Not bad. The material is informative and the writing is vivid. It's a good manuscript."

"You still have vision, I will reward you with one." Cheng Xiaoxi happily jumped over and kissed Li Xiaoning on the face without thinking.

Li Xiaoning was stunned, her face was red, her body froze, and she didn't know how to react.

Cheng Xiaoxi also came to his senses, blushing, and hastily explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I... I treated you like Xixi..."

"It's okay...it's okay..." Li Xiaoning also hastily concealed his embarrassment, "I guess you have brushed your teeth, I won't dislike you."

"Li Xiaoning, you're looking for a fight, you!" Cheng Xiaoxi raised his powder fist again, but it didn't land.

Li Xiaoning hastily changed the subject and said: "At your level, Mou Guifang probably has nothing to teach you. Anyway, I can't teach you. Just remember these points. When writing articles, the most important thing is to have yourself and observe things. , You must have your own vision. After observing things, you must form your own opinions. Don’t follow others’ opinions. You can’t write good articles by following others’ opinions. Stand higher and look farther away. If you only see your eyes, although it looks close, you are actually behind the situation, because the development of the situation is so fast that it does not depend on your will. Therefore, You have to be a little forward-thinking.”

Cheng Xiaoxi didn't quite understand what Li Xiaoning said, but she knew that Li Xiaoning was sincerely treating her well, which was completely different from Director Ma's enthusiastic handshake and taking advantage of the opportunity.

Li Xiaoning said again: "In the future, you can still show the article to Mou Guifang after you write it. Just listen to what she says, and show another copy to the leader who is in charge of the final document check."

Cheng Xiaoxi frowned and said, "You mean that the articles I sent to Director Ma may not necessarily go through Mou Guifang?"

"Yes." Li Xiaoning nodded and said, "Anyway, Mou Guifang can't decide whether the article will be published or not."

"But Mou Guifang will always know, and she will be stingy again if she finds out." Cheng Xiaoxi said with a pout.

"This can't be avoided, women are always a little narrow-minded." Li Xiaoning said casually.

"Are you saying that I'm also narrow-minded?" Cheng Xiaoxi caught the flaw in Li Xiaoning's words again.

"Oh, I didn't mean you!" Li Xiaoning smiled wryly, "I meant a woman, and you are not a woman."

"You're looking for death!" Cheng Xiaoxi stretched out her slender fingers and grabbed Li Xiaoning's ear and turned it around.

"I'll go!" Li Xiaoning jumped up abruptly, "I'm still talking. Which woman would be so ruthless like you?"

Cheng Xiaoxi pretended to fight, but Li Xiaoning hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. I'll tell you what to do in the future."

"Say it quickly, you're wrong, I'll fight again." Cheng Xiaoxi threatened with a fist.

Li Xiaoning sorted out her thoughts and said: "First, don't hate Mou Guifang because of this matter, ignore her, and keep her at a respectful distance. This will not be good for you. After all, she is your leader. Try to tolerate it, even if it is hypocritical. On the surface, she respects him, asks her more often, and writes articles. Originally, there is no specific position. Mou Guifang has no power and no power. Being able to achieve this position shows that she still has a certain level.

Although it's a bit too much for her to do that to you, but if you think about it, she is also jealous of you. As long as you make her happy, run more errands for him, and talk sweeter, maybe she will change her attitude towards you. "

After a pause, Li Xiaoning continued: "We are all newcomers in Binhai who have no roots at all. Because of such a matter, it is not beneficial to treat the leader as an enemy. One should make fewer enemies and make more connections in any place."

"You mean I'm going to curry favor with her?" Cheng Xiaoxi said with a glare.

"I'm not asking you to flatter her, I'm asking you to coax her." Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "Mou Guifang is also a woman, and it's easy to coax if she is a woman. If you flatter her and give her a little bit of money, there's no problem. Just be quick with your hands and feet."

"Women are easy to coax?" Cheng Xiaoxi seized on Li Xiaoning's language problem again, "Then I don't see you coming to coax me and flatter me."

"Then I'll take a pat now." Li Xiaoning took it without thinking. . .The hand also subconsciously patted Cheng Xiaoxi's buttocks.

The softness of the hands made Li Xiaoning realize how inappropriate his actions were, and hurriedly found a reason to leave, "I'm done eating noodles, I'll go back first."

"Ah, let me see you off." Cheng Xiaoxi also blushed.

The two of them went out blushing like this, and were caught by a sister on the same floor as Cheng Xiaoxi. The reason why I said that was because the expression on the sister's face was so easy to understand.
