official journey ups and downs

It was not until dinner time that Zhao Yitang and Ma Guotao came out of the office.This move of the two surprised the people in the town government. Since the two had a big fight over the mining a few years ago, they have never appeared together in public except for meetings.But the two of them came together again today, it seems that something big happened.

After cleaning the room, Shen Tong followed in the footsteps of others to the cafeteria.

The other people in the town government were quite enthusiastic, and they would always nod and smile after meeting each other, which made Shen Tong feel very cordial, and forgot all the unhappiness in the morning.

The canteen is on the east side of the third row, besides the canteen, there is also a large meeting room.It is said that it is a canteen, that is, there are only two rooms, one is a place for cooking, and the other is a place for eating.But the staff of the agency basically stood in the yard to eat, and the dining room was vacant for Zhao Yitang.In other words, only cadres above the deputy department are eligible to eat in the room. Although there is no express regulation, the staff of the agency have reached a consensus on this arrangement.

Shen Tong saw that others were taking their own rice bowls to cook food, and then realized that he left in a hurry in the morning without bringing anything.Immediately, I felt very embarrassed.

In this institution compound, apart from Yuan Caiyun and Zhao Yitang, Shen Tong didn't know each other.However, Shen Tong didn't find Yuan Caiyun, so he couldn't go to Secretary Zhao.

At this moment, Liu Siming, the deputy mayor, saw Shen Tong standing in the yard, and waved to Shen Tong, motioning for Shen Tong to come over.

When Shen Tong saw someone calling him, he felt grateful immediately, and ran over in a hurry.

Liu Siming said while eating, "Are you new here?"

Shen Tong scratched his head and said: "Well, my name is Shen Tong. I just came here to report this morning. It's my first time going to work. I didn't know what to prepare, so I didn't bring anything."

Liu Siming looked at the young people who were similar to his own age, and said, "Oh, you need to prepare your own lunch box to eat here, so let's say, Feng Qikun from the family planning office went to the county for a meeting today, if you don't mind, you can use it first His lunchbox."

For Liu Siming's earnest concern, Shen Tong felt warm in his heart, and said, "I don't dislike it, thank you."

Liu Siming picked up his chopsticks and threw an uncut potato in the bowl into a trash can far away, saying, "Thank you, if you want to get along with the masses in the town government, you have to learn how to survive. Just wait, I'll give it to you." You cook."

Liu Siming handed Shen Tong his meal, then turned and went into the cafeteria.At this time, Zhao Yitang walked over with his stomach full.

When Zhao Yitang saw Shen Tong, he asked with concern: "How is it? Are you used to eating in the cafeteria?"

Shen Tong was a little taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Secretary Zhao, I am also the son of a farmer, and I am used to this meal."

Zhao Yitang smiled slightly and said: "Okay, just get used to it." After speaking, he walked to the cafeteria.After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and came back again.Said to Shen Tong: "You will also attend the afternoon meeting."

Shen Tong couldn't recover, and nodded dully.

When Zhao Yitang arrived, the crowd who were eating at the door stopped eating and immediately dispersed, leaving an aisle for Zhao Yitang.

Liu Siming handed the prepared rice to Shen Tong, and he ate it again, making a "stinging" sound when eating the noodles. The way he ate the noodles did not look like a cadre at all.

Shen Tong took the rice and saw that it was hand-rolled potato shreds. The shredded potatoes were as thick as chopsticks, and they were cut unevenly. Some were thick and some were thin, and some were even connected together.Looking at the hand-rolled noodles, the noodles have been cooked for a long time, and the noodles stick together, which makes people lose their appetite at all.

Shen Tong had been busy all morning, and he was really hungry, so he followed everyone else's example and started eating voraciously, regardless of the quality of the food.

"Are you assigned for this public exam?" Liu Siming asked suddenly.

Shen Tong hurriedly stopped eating, and replied: "Yes."

Seeing Shen Tong's nervous look, Liu Siming said, "Don't be nervous, chat while eating."

Shen Tong didn't have too many scruples, chatting while eating.

"Where is your home?" Liu Siming continued to ask.

"From Beizhai Township."

"Oh, I'm from Nanpo Township, we live not far away." Liu Siming said.

Shen Tong learned that Liu Siming was from Nanpo Township, so he said excitedly: "My grandma's family is also from Nanpo Township."

Liu Siming looked up at Shen Tong and said, "Really? Then we are still half fellows."

Shen Tong smiled embarrassedly and said, "Well, I don't know what you call it yet?"

Liu Siming pulled the last bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth, chewed and said, "My name is Liu Siming, and I'm the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture. I'll be looking for you later."

When Shen Tong heard that he was the mayor, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I didn't know you were the mayor. I'm sorry, Mayor Liu."

"Hurry up and eat. A deputy mayor in a township is nothing, so why bother with me? Besides, I'm not a few years older than you. You can just call me brother in the future." Liu Siming said.

Liu Siming said so, but Shen Tong was still a little nervous, and replied: "Mayor Liu, I can't mess with the rules, it's better to call Mayor Liu."

Liu Siming looked at this immature young man, shook his head helplessly, got up and walked to the cafeteria, and said, "After dinner, come to my room to rest. My room is the third one on the east side of the second row."

After Liu Siming left, he felt very uncomfortable eating alone, so he hurriedly ate and returned to his room.

Originally, Ma Guotao asked Shen Tong to go home in the afternoon, but Zhao Yitang asked him to attend the afternoon meeting, and Shen Tong went back to his room, waiting for the afternoon meeting.

Although Liu Siming asked Shen Tong to go to his room, Shen Tong thought about it and still didn't go, so he continued to tidy up in his room idly.

It's only one o'clock now, it's still early for the meeting, Shen Tong sits at the desk and stares absently at the newspaper pasted on the glass.

The newspaper was yellowed and its corners were torn. The date shown on the newspaper was June 1995, 6, obviously many years had passed.On the bottom edge of the newspaper, Shen Tong found a few small characters written with a pen.Shen Tong felt curious, so he took a closer look.Although the words faded after being exposed to sunlight, the written content can be vaguely seen: "25 Mana."

"What does this mean?" Shen Tong looked at the strange four small characters, very puzzled.

Shen Tong didn't study the puzzling four words too much, he opened the drawer of the desk, and there were a few nearly moldy documents scattered inside, and a pen without a cap, that's all.

The content of the document is a notice on strengthening the construction of rural cooperative funds in Shihe Town.Shen Tong's family also deposited 2000 yuan in the Beizhai Township Cooperative, and Shen Tong looked at it with interest.

In 1994, Shihe Town raised more than 120 million yuan and issued more than 80 yuan in loans. Seeing this figure, Shen Tong couldn't help but feel nervous. More than half of Shihe Town's funds have been loaned out. What if the people who deposit money want to withdraw it?Shen Tong didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly threw the file back into the drawer.

The weather in April is quite warm.Shen Tong felt that it was still early, so he fell asleep on the table.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Tong woke up startled from his dream. Looking at his watch, the time had already pointed to 3:10.While blaming himself, Shen Tong hurried to the conference room.
