Diary of the life of a working wizard

There were two women and one man who were with Wei Chen just now. As soon as they said that Director Xu was here, Wei Chen immediately turned to look at the door.

Sure enough, a Passat stopped in front of the hotel, and two people got out of the car. One of them, like Wei Chen, was tall and thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. On the surface, he looked like a scholar and was polite, but From his high head and the expression on his face, he gave people a feeling of being superior.

As soon as Wei Chen saw that person, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He hurriedly hugged Xia Yunjie and others and said, "I'm sorry, teachers, I'll excuse you. The leaders I'm waiting for are here. I'll go greet them first." After that, Wei Chen hurriedly said to Liu Leehom: "I'll call you later."

"The leader is important. Just go and do your work. I'll call you when the time comes." Although Liu Leehom and Wei Chen were not serious just now, he still knew the priorities clearly and nodded immediately.

At this time, Wei Chen was no longer polite to Liu Leehom. He hurriedly greeted the people who got off the car, with a humble smile on his face. As soon as he arrived, he stretched out his hands to shake hands with the tall, thin man with eyes and said enthusiastically: " Good evening, Director Xu."

"Yes." The tall and thin man just nodded arrogantly, and then turned his attention to one of the pretty young women who came with Wei Chen. A smile finally appeared on his arrogant face, and he said: "Shi Lingyue, long time no see." , you are more beautiful than before”

"Thank you, Director Xu, for the compliment, but I'm old." The woman named Shi Lingyue touched her face and said with a smile.

"Haha, I don't think you are old at all." Director Xu smiled, staring at Shi Lingyue's plump breasts with some lust.

"Director Xu, I have already booked a private room. How about we go to the private room and talk later." Seeing Director Xu's eyes falling on Shi Lingyue's breasts with fascination, Wei Chen's eyes flashed with anger. Passed by, stepped forward and interjected with a smile.

"Okay, Shi Lingyue and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We must have a few more drinks tonight." Director Xu nodded, but his eyes still fell on Shi Lingyue.

A trace of anger ignited in Wei Chen's eyes again, but it quickly disappeared. He smiled and gestured: "Director Xu, please."

Director Xu nodded and then walked to the elevator surrounded by everyone.

The hotel's dining room is on the eighth floor.

Business in the hotel seemed to be very good tonight. When Director Xu and others walked to the elevator, Xia Yunjie and others were still waiting for the elevator.

Seeing Wei Chen and others coming over, Li Xiaoshi and others naturally couldn't ignore it. They smiled and nodded at Wei Chen and others: "Secretary-General Wei, are you going to the box upstairs too?"

"Yes." Wei Chen nodded.

"Xiaowei, are you familiar?" Director Xu asked casually, his eyes lit up slightly when he glanced at Yang Shuqin.

Seeing that Director Xu, who seemed to be younger than Wei Chen, called Wei Chen "Little Wei" in front of so many people, with such official airs, Liu Leehom and others secretly guessed the other party's official position, and at the same time their eyes flashed. There was a hint of disgust, especially when Yang Shuqin saw Director Xu's eyes falling on her chest a little wantonly, she felt even more disgusted by this person.

"Yes, my classmate and his colleagues are all teachers at Jiangzhou University." Wei Chen said.

"Oh, the teacher from Jiangzhou University, not bad, not bad." A hint of surprise flashed across Director Xu's face when he heard this, and then he nodded in an official tone.

Although university teachers have a transcendent status, they have no official position, no power, and Jiangzhou University is only a university located in a prefecture-level city. Xia Yunjie and others look young, and it is obvious that Director Xu does not regard them as Take it seriously.

As soon as Director Xu finished speaking, the elevator door opened.

Director Xu didn't seem to have any awareness of first-come, first-served. When he saw the elevator door opened, he stepped inside, as if it was natural for him to take the elevator first.

Seeing Director Xu go in first, Wei Chen certainly didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed in while smiling apologetically at Xia Yunjie and others.

There were six people on Xia Yunjie's side, so naturally it was difficult to squeeze in, so he had to wait for the next elevator.

Seeing the elevator door closing and the red Arabic numerals above the elevator jumping, Yang Shuqin frowned and said, "That Director Xu is so arrogant. I don't know what kind of official he is. I hate him so much."

"Wei Chen is the secretary-general of the Dongping District Government. Director Xu is obviously older than him. He should be a city leader. As for the leader, I don't know." Liu Leehong said.

"The secretary-general of the district government is at the department level. Director Xu seems to be younger than Secretary-General Wei. It is unlikely that he is a real city leader. He is probably the secretary to the mayor or the secretary to the municipal party committee." ." Xia Yunjie analyzed.

"No, haven't you seen Secretary-General Wei call that person Director Xu?" Li Xiaoshi retorted.

"Generally, the mayor's secretary or the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary also serves as the deputy director of the office. Although such a person has a low rank, because he is someone close to the mayor or the municipal party committee secretary, he has a great influence in the officialdom. However, Generally, secretaries are relatively low-key, and arrogant people like Director Xu are rare." Xia Yunjie waved his hand and explained.

"Hey, I can't tell. Although you are young, Teacher Xia, you know a lot about official affairs. But Director Xu's arrogance is actually normal. They keep a low profile because they want to see who they are with. We are just university teachers, He has no official, no position, no power, so he naturally has to put on airs." Liu Leehom and others looked at Xia Yunjie in surprise when they heard this.

"That's true." Xia Yunjie smiled and nodded when he heard this, and suddenly realized that he had been misled by the secretaries of Feng Zhengcheng, Zhao Xingjun and other leaders he had contacted before, and had preconceived ideas.

The secretary's low profile also depends on the person's taste. In front of the municipal party committee leaders, they are secretaries, but in front of Liu Leehom and others, they are officials.

While talking, the elevator finally came again, and Xia Yunjie and others got on the elevator.

Liu Leehom booked a small private room, but what he ordered was a table full of fresh seafood.

"Teacher Liu, did you order too much?" Li Xiaoshi said as she saw a table full of fresh seafood, good wine and good food.

"Yes, Teacher Liu, look at the size of the six of us. Teacher Xia happens to be a compromise. You should order based on his weight. You can't order based on your weight," Fan Xuewen said.

"No, it's rare for you to come to Dongtong City. As a landlord, I won't let you have enough to eat and drink. If you don't complain to death tonight when you go back to school, don't be polite to me. Eat well and drink well." If we can't eat, we'll just walk around." Liu Leehom said with a wave of his fat hand.

Seeing Liu Leehom say this, everyone was no longer polite.

Soon the private room was filled with people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

While Liu Leehom's side was drinking and drinking and it was lively, Wei Chen's side was lifeless and the atmosphere was depressing. Director Xu, who just a moment ago was surrounded by everyone like stars over the moon, was not in the box at this time.

"I'm sorry, Secretary-General Wei, I couldn't help you this time." After a long time, Shi Lingyue broke the silence and said to Wei Chen apologetically.

"I should be the one to say sorry. Originally, I wanted to use your relationship with classmate Xu Chuanyun to see if I could follow his path and ask him to come forward to say hello to Zhang Huaiwen. I didn't expect that Xu Chuanyun was such a miserable person. , Relying on his status, he completely forgot about the friendship between classmates, and even touched you." Wei Chen said with an ugly face.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that he would become like this, so what should I do now?" Shi Lingyue sighed.

"Haha, what can I do? Just stay here for now. If it doesn't work, I have to resign and go to sea." Wei Chen said very frustrated.

"That Zhang Huaiwen went too far. The one who had a conflict with him was the deceased District Chief Kong, not you. Besides, District Chief Kong is already dead, so why does it matter if he treats you like this?" Shi Lingyue saw Wei Chen looked frustrated and couldn't help but said angrily.

"Haha, there is a fight at the top and disaster at the bottom. Lingyue, you are not a member of the officialdom. You don't understand the complicated relationship. The only blame is my bad luck. I became the secretary-general of the district government, but the top leader of the county government passed away. "Yes," Wei Chen waved his hand.

"I heard that District Chief Kong was promoted by Director Feng Xinxiong. I really can't ask Director Feng to come forward and say something?" Shi Lingyue thought for a while and suggested.

"Director Feng has already retired, so why should I trouble him again to talk about his resignation? Zhang Huaiwen is in his prime right now, so he may not betray his face. Maybe he will lose face to Director Feng instead. "Wei Chen shook his head.

"Then..." Shi Lingyue opened her mouth again, but Wei Chen waved his hands in frustration and said: "Forget it, it's okay. At least I, Wei Chen, can walk and sit upright. Even if Zhang Huaiwen doesn't like me, They don’t have the right to fire me for no reason. At most, they can let me retire early. So, that’s it for today. You guys go back first. I’ll have a few drinks with my high school classmates before I leave.”

Shi Lingyue and others also knew that Wei Chen was in a bad mood today, and she and others could not help, so they had no choice but to nod and stand up and said: "Okay, Secretary-General Wei, let's go first

After Shi Lingyue left, Wei Chen was alone in the box in a daze.

Wei Chen just turned 30 this year. He was originally an ordinary secretary in the Dongping District Office. Later, he was valued by the district mayor and was promoted from ordinary secretary to full-time secretary. Then he went smoothly and took the position of district secretary at the age of 29 last year. Government Secretary and Chief of Staff. At the age of twenty-nine, he took up the position of secretary-general of the district government and was ranked as a junior in the department. In the eyes of many people, he was considered quite powerful. Many people have spent their whole lives in government departments, but in the end they have not been able to get a position at the deputy section level in the ministry, let alone a very powerful secretary-general of the district government.

Wei Chen himself was very satisfied, thinking that as long as he followed District Chief Kong in the future, he could at least move up a level before retiring and become a deputy district chief or something like that. However, fate is not as good as fate. Just when Wei Chen was feeling proud and confident about his career, District Chief Kong suddenly contracted lung cancer and passed away years ago.
