On the [-]th day of the fifth lunar month, the summer had just entered, and the weather in Guangfu was already maddeningly hot.The sun's rays swayed down from the haze, and the ground was hot as if pouring oil on fire.Some gray air, which looks like clouds but not clouds, or fog but not fog, floats low in the air, making people feel suffocated.

"There's no wind at all, what a horrible weather!" Wu Chen felt a little depressed, then picked up his water glass and walked to the tea room.The tea room is an independent small room next to the elevator. Although it is simple, it is far away from the offices lined up one by one on the two wings.

Since the tightening of tobacco control, this place has become Wu Chen's second activity place in the work unit. He likes to come here to make a cup of tea, light a cigarette, and look at the straight tree-lined road outside the window when he is bored. It feels like it can calm him down quickly, adjust his mentality, and go back to deal with the messy things in the office.

"Xiao Wu, did you steal the cow last night? You have been listless all day long." The person who spoke was Wu Chen's colleague Lao Li, who has been working in the unit for more than ten years and has not made any progress. Seeing his age, he is about to retire. Yes, but I have no desires or demands, no fights and no troubles, and I get along well with everyone.Seeing Wu Chen listless now, he started to tease him.

Stealing cattle is a joke told by the older generation in the countryside. Most young people today do not have this kind of experience, but the word "stealing cattle" in their units already has another ambiguous meaning.

Within the system, talking about nasty jokes has become a basic skill, and it is ubiquitous. Although Wu Chen doesn't like to talk about it, he doesn't reject others talking about it. After all, you have to adapt to what kind of atmosphere you are in, so you can live with the situation. .

"Hehe, I slept a little late." Wu Chen still respects Lao Li. The old man is out of his realm, and he is open-minded and casual. Wu Chen is actually quite happy to be a colleague with such a person. Is there any benefit? Not to mention, in short, it is harmless to people and easy to get along with.

Wu Chen is 1.7 meters [-] meters tall and looks ordinary. He belongs to the kind of people who will be drowned when thrown into the crowd. Fortunately, he often plays basketball when he is studying, and occasionally plays as a substitute for the football team. His body is still strong.Back then, when I first entered university, I was optimistic and lively, bookish, pointing out the country, even if there was some displeasure among my classmates, I would drink a few glasses of beer, chat with each other, and sleep well.

After work, his character has suffered a lot. He has no intention of being right with anyone, but sometimes he will inevitably make some "young people's mistakes". Good intentions may not necessarily lead to good deeds. For example, once, a certain The project unit came to find the leader in charge of project approval. Wu Chen was very polite with a warm hospitality mentality. He brought people to the conference room to ask for seats and poured tea, which made the other party very obedient and praised him. Attitude, awesome!But he didn't know that the leader didn't want to see these people in his heart, and he deliberately wanted to cool off the other party. He was very passive when Wu Chen made such a move. Point out the maze for him.

Over the years, after there were many such things, Wu Chen became more and more taciturn, and began to follow the credo of "everything is worthwhile, and nothing is better than silence." Gradually, he became a donkey who just grinds and doesn't fart.

But he is still a young man after all, and occasionally he will be agitated in the depths of his heart, suffocating hard, and once when the moon is full on the west building, he went to the balcony alone and shouted at the street lamp, "Actually, brother is also a sullen man." !” Such a stupid thing.

"Young people still have to take care of their bodies and don't always stay up late." Lao Li said with a smile, took his teapot, turned and walked out of the tea room.

They have a total of six leaders including the chief of the department, the researcher, and the deputy department and deputy adjuster, but only three soldiers. The typical structure is big and thin, with an inverted triangle structure, and this configuration is not uncommon in their unit.

Among the three soldiers, Lao Li basically didn't work very much. With more than 30 years of youth, he successfully went from "boiling" to "mixing" stage.Wu Chen and Xu Zhifei were the only ones who actually worked as managers. It happened that the three of them were from the same village. There are individual teapots and cups.

Wu Chen is already used to Lao Li's caring and teasing words, and he didn't pick up the chitchat, just responded with a smile, took some water from the water dispenser, boiled it in the kettle, and started fiddling with his teapot and teacups.

Because he likes to drink tea, he also likes tea sets. Teapots are naturally made of purple clay pots, but purple clay pots have been fried too expensive these years. Wu Chen can't afford even the works of ordinary craftsmen, let alone masters.

The so-called purple clay pots in street stalls or small shops are cheap, but they are basically fake.A fake is a fake, even if ordinary mud is used, but in order to imitate purple sand, a lot of chemical raw materials are added, and the heavy metals seriously exceed the standard. Using such a pot is not drinking tea, but drinking poison. How dare Wu Chen use.

What Wu Chen is using now is a gold-thread red clay ruyi light flat pot, which is simple and simple in shape, with only two inscriptions on the bottom and the handle, but it is not a famous style, but a fire-shaped pattern, which is really baffling.

When Wu Chen returned to his hometown for the New Year two years ago, he bought it from an old pot seller in a small county town. At that time, the bare pot was placed in a pile of flower pots, and it was not conspicuous. Wu Chen didn't think it was too much. Special, but I don't know why, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it, it seemed like there was a destiny in the previous life, and a familiar feeling came over my face.It also feels thick when picked up, and it is quite a bit heavier than ordinary teapots. Although it is said that thick purple clay teapots are better, they are not so prodigal!

Wu Chen spent 800 yuan, and after buying it back, he didn't know who it was, let alone whether it was true or not. Anyway, after two years of raising it, it became more round and pleasing. It was placed there in a simple and elegant way, like an old man who has experienced many years .

Speaking of which, there is another interesting thing about this pot. The tea that comes out is extra sweet, which is a bit different from others. Wu Chen once told his colleague Xu Zhifei about this discovery, but he laughed at him, saying that he was purely Psychological effect, love house and crow.

It is usually matched with a local cup imitating the Ru kiln of the host country. Various antique kiln products have come out in recent years. Wu Chen likes the sky blue of Ru kiln the most, which is as moist as water. Similarly, the leading brands Xiaofang, Heng He couldn't even afford anything else, so he could only settle for the next best thing. He bought a host and used it for a while. The pieces are criss-crossed and the lines are fine.

"Aren't you in a daze again? Hurry up, we're ready for a meeting, meeting room No. [-]." Xu Zhifei walked in with his teacup in hand. Although he was urging, he walked over in a leisurely manner.

There are only two young men in the department, and they are both men.Compassionate and sympathetic, plus they are fellow villagers, the two usually get along well without so much dirty office.

When it comes to the personalities of the two, there are two extremes. Wu Chen adheres to the principle that nothing can be done to him, and he doesn't make rumors or spread rumors. He is like a muffled gourd. It was tightly packed, and there was no trace of it leaking out.On the other hand, Xu Zhifei is very active. He calls friends all day long. He has acquaintances all over half the office building, and there are various information channels.

"Branch meeting?" Wu Chen turned his face and asked, a little uncertain. The branch meeting was notified yesterday, but there was no set time, and there would be many of them. Which leader might call for a temporary meeting if something happened suddenly.

Many people criticize the administrative agency as a piece of paper, and it is even more miserable for those who handle it.For the administrative department, documents and meetings are the two main communication channels, and the work content is reflected in official documents and meetings, which is understandable in itself.

What annoys Wu Chen is the various bad habits hidden behind these meetings. I won’t talk about the retreats. In short, they are bullshit. In the afternoon, I finally found that they didn't talk much about the problem itself.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Zhifei stared at Wu Chen dissatisfied. This buddy is good at everything, but he is prone to daze and distracted, and he is always forgetful. Tell him a news, and ask him deliberately the next day, and he can tell you heard about it!Isn't this mad at me?

"It's nothing, the branch meeting is the branch meeting." Wu Chen smiled, this meeting has been postponed for a few weeks.

"It's not that simple!" Xu Zhifei suddenly showed a weird smile, leaned over and whispered to Wu Chen, "Just wait and see the good show."

"Go, go, hate the world for being so peaceful, don't you?" Wu Chen scolded with a smile. The so-called good show is nothing more than people watching monkeys off the stage, and monkeys watching people on stage. He really has no interest. With this skill , it's better to let him go on vacation and let him go home and sleep!

After the water boiled, Wu Chen picked it up and made two cups of tea for himself and Xu Zhifei. The two walked to the conference room with both hands in their hands. It was empty and no one had come yet.The conference room is not big, with an oval conference table in the center and leather chairs around it.

Wu Chen found a corner to sit down, put down his teacup, stood up and turned on the ceiling light and air conditioner, walked to the window, opened the window a crack to get some air, and suddenly felt a wave of heat coming in from the crack.

"This shitty weather is really hot enough to kill me!" Wu Chen muttered and walked back to his seat. The weather became more and more abnormal, and all kinds of extreme weather appeared frequently, and it was "once in a hundred years" at every turn. , The design of many projects also has to bring standards that can resist "once in 50 years" and "once in 60 years". What kind of standard is this!

"You don't look outside, it's as gray as a hood, and the whole Canton is covered inside, can the heat be dissipated? It's not wrong to say that it's a steamer, we are the little shrimps that are steamed inside. "Xu Zhifei sat next to Wu Chen's position, leaning on the backrest, crossing his legs, and said tremblingly, "A few years ago, it was reported that the road surface can be more than 60 degrees at noon in Guangfu. Overcooked eggs, the smog has become more and more serious in recent years, how many degrees do you think it must be? I see, Guangfu will not be able to live in sooner or later!"

Seeing Wu Chen moving his mouth and wanting to say something, Xu Zhifei sat up straight and hurriedly said, "I know what you want to say about energy conservation, emission reduction or industrial transfer. Over the past few years, Guangfu should have been closed, and what should have been transferred. Now, there are no factories with serious pollution, right? In the past few years, we have basically completed the energy-saving and emission-reduction tasks assigned by the central government, right? With such a huge base like ours, it is almost impossible to complete it! But we have achieved it. Well, let’s not talk about the big picture, let’s just say that there are quite a few energy-saving and emission-reduction projects approved from us, right? But why is it that the more we govern, the worse it becomes?”
