Chapter 1

nging a few more people should be no problem after coordination. 。Our leadership team and the construction company's team must explain this thoroughly to both parties. 。 。We are in a society governed...After enduring the winter, there was a period of time with little rainfall. 。The sky was overcast and gloomy all day, the temperature had risen a bit, but the branches were still bare and lifeless. 。When spring comes, people in the Ming capital do not look at the calendar; they only look at the wind. 。Heaven had been holding back for a long time, but one day it suddenly released all that pent-up energy. A deafening roar erupted, whipping up the winter's dust into a whirlwind and sweeping across the land. The people of Mingdu knew: that hateful spring had finally arrived. 。On the road of life, I encountered the wild spring wind, and passersby were helpless. 。Those with a mild temper will hide, while those with a hot temper will scold. Once they open their mouths, they will only utter insults. Their hair has become a mess like a chicken coop, and dust has blurred their eyes. 。A dishevelled man spat on the ground by the roadside, muttering under his breath, "Damn it! Spring is here!" It seemed like he'd been longing for spring all winter long, but instead of bringing life and renewal, it arrived like a demon, filling him with frustration. 。This year is quite strange. The dust is floating in the air, neither going nor staying, yet there's no wind. 。People in Mingdu never wait for the wind, and spring is always out of reach. 。Before the man could even take off his windbreaker or the woman put her silk scarf around her neck, people were already wearing short sleeves and complaining about the sweltering heat. Suddenly, someone remembered, "This year there's been no wind!" Life seemed to be missing something. It was like every night the upstairs neighbor would drop two boots, but now only one is dropped. This spring just doesn't feel right. 。Wen Yanqi's hair was combed neatly, but there was always a layer of ash on it. 。Every time I wash my face, the towel turns yellowish after wiping. I can't possibly keep using it like this and make Fang Lingyan nag at me. These days, washing my face has become a major chore. 。He glanced at the freshly-wrung towel, helplessly tossed it back into the water, rubbed it haphazardly a few times, and rushed out the door. 。The house is right in the courtyard of the building, it only takes a few minutes to get there. Yet Wen Yanqi always seems to be the last one to enter the secretary's office. 。Shut the window, let out a breath, spring and summer became the world outside. 。 。"First-class secret briefing bag, second-class secret materials, third-class secret research, fourth-class secret reconnaissance point," if we say it well, it's second-class, and if it's bad, it's fourth-class. Even a few times a year, you can hardly get out of the bottom. If you want to stand out, forget about it. Seriously climbing the ranks is the real deal. 。Yu Xin and Duan were having tea when Yu Xin said to the new secretary, Li Zheng. 。Li Zheng smiled, neither confirming nor denying. After all, he was new to the office and couldn't even find the water cooler. Facing the old secretary's reminder, besides smiling, he seemed unable to say anything else. 。"At this, Xin and Ai took a sip of tea. Continuing to speak to Li Zheng, he said, 'But you also have to look at it from the other side, knowing that there are so many departments in the administrative office, which department is the core The office! And our secretariat is the core of the office, so we are the core of the core, young man, work hard and quickly replace us two old guys!' " He finished speaking and scratched his sparse hair. 。Yu Xin had toiled in the Secretary's Office for over a decade, which was quite enough. Although young in years, when he called himself an old hand, there was always a hint of gentle irony in his voice. 。Wen Yanqi sat down, reluctantly taking up Yu Xin's words. He had a heart to smile at Li Zheng, slowly saying, "What job is there that isn't hard" 。

"But what Lao Yu said is also true, back then his hair wasn't like this, it seemed even more lush than yours, slick and smooth!"

Wen Yan shifted to a more comfortable position and continued, “I've just arrived. Take a look at the materials first, so Lao Yu can find something too.” 。Yu Xin said: "That's right, look first, then write. Write before doing anything. Don't be hung up on this secret or that secret. If you can't write, you're just a decoration!" 。Li Zheng understood. Although both were secretaries, the younger Wen Yanqi was the head of the secretariat. He hurriedly agreed and plunged into the pile of materials shrouded in clouds and mist. 。Yu Xin smiled at Wen Yanqi, sighing in relief. Finally, someone had arrived... 。Wen Yanqi and Yu Xin had worked in the secretary's office for 10 years and 15 years respectively. Originally there were four secretaries, some transferred away, some left, but these two remained steadfast in the secretary's office. They diligently toiled year after year, buried in stacks of paperwork. This past year, only the two of them remained, handling everything from service, materials, meetings, to even cleaning up messes. 。Yu Xin became a secretary halfway through life, at the age of forty-six or seven. She seemed to have concealed some of her age, her hairstyle and figure already rushing towards fifty-plus. 。It's said that quite a few new people have joined the department, but they just couldn't find anyone suitable for the secretary position. They applied several times to transfer some from the units below, but the leader kept it down until this year. 。Wen Yanqi and Yu Xin were reluctant to use the new recruits hired through the competitive exam. Although they had high academic qualifications and were young, they had to be trained from scratch, unlike those selected from subordinate units who could immediately be put to work. 。I don't know what the leaders were thinking. After all that back and forth, they still went with the recruitment route, so everything has to start from scratch again. Who knows when I'll be able to take on the mantle 。The way a secretary does their job, and what kind of work they do, depends entirely on the leader they have. Some leaders love working with words, while others don't care much about them. 。Wen Yanqi and Yu Xin had met people who loved playing with words in recent years. The two had no choice but to desperately pore over every word, arranging sentences, making their leadership style increasingly smooth. However, they neglected the matter of assigning roles to others. 。Day after day, for so many years, from Deputy Division Chief to last year's Deputy Director appointment, both names have always been followed by the egg-carrying secretary. 。Wen Yanqi stood up and stretched, taking a stack of files to Deputy Director Zhou Yuanli's office. 。Zhou Yuanli emerged from the pile of files, took off his glasses, squeezed the bridge of his nose, and rubbed his tired eyes. He asked Wen Yanqi, "Is she here" Wen Yanqi knew Zhou Yuanli was referring to the new secretary when he said "she is here." 。Then he said, “Here I am, to look at the materials.” 。Zhou Yuanli smiled, "He turned his head and just brought over two pots of boiling water to me. He said your office door was locked, and I didn't say anything. I guess he got lost." 。Wen Yan smiled faintly, handing the file to Zhou Yuanli, and plopped down on the sofa. 。After a while, Zhou Yuanli said: "This time it might be Zhang who took over!"Wen Yanqi felt surprised and raised his head to ask: "Isn't it Mu"Zhou Yuanli shook his head: "It's estimated that it's not. The hall director recommended should be Zhang Hall Director, isn't there still Jin Governor After all, they kicked the Zhengbu together." 。Wen Yan nodded and said, "Who picks it up is the same anyway." 。Zhou Yuanli smiled, let out a light sigh, but didn't speak anymore. 。Before even reaching the secretary's office door, I heard accountant Yao Lihua teasing Li Zheng's voice: "Well! You're quite handsome, young man. Who are you Do you have a girlfriend Well now, finally we have a young one here. Smell this office, what kind of smell do these two old fellas bring in. Hey! Lao Yu, open the window and let some fresh air in!" 。At the window, Yu Xin whispered to Bian, "Tell me, what's that tapping sound What does it smell like I can't smell anything." Wen Yanqi sat straight on the chair and said, “Besides the smell of ripeness, what else could there be" 。Yao Lihua laughed and said, "They're all ripe," beckoning Li Zheng to the finance room to continue teasing. 。Office Director Yu Zhenggang came to the secretary's office, took out a cigarette and lit one himself, asking: "Wen Yanqi, is the report ready Director Zhang wants to take a look in advance." 。Wen Yan replied, "Almost done, I'll make a few more changes." 。Li Zheng walked in and saw Yu Zhenggang. He nervously called out, "Director Yu," then leaned aside. Yu Zhenggang glanced at Li Zheng and said, "Learn more from Lao Yu and Xiao Wen. Originally, it takes a few years to cultivate a department head, but it takes at least five years to cultivate a secretary. The two of them can't wait that long!" Wen Yanqi chuckled and replied, "Where's there so much time Meeting Director Yu, it definitely won't take five years!" 。Yu Zheng was just about to say something, but his butt clenched up and he let out a fart. Li Zheng, who was standing nearby, was stunned and didn't know whether to stand or leave. 。Yu Zhenggang said, "Xiao Wen, get me some paper. My stomach is upset!"." 。Wen Yan pondered the word "report." It was once a formal term, used only in official settings. Now, it's overused, even among peers or when villagers inform their village chiefs about matters. Wi...
