When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Li Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, call him over. I'll talk to him first. If he's a useful talent, I'll consider keeping him then."
"Okay, I'll go get him over right away."
After saying that, Wang Songlin turned around and walked out of the house, heading towards the comprehensive department where Zhang Yupei was.
The comprehensive department run by the government is a large office with three rooms, eight desks and eight people sitting there... The tasks they are responsible for are quite diverse, such as printing manuscripts, collecting documents, and issuing meeting notices... All are completed in this office.
Ever since Chang Guochao got into trouble, Zhang Yupei came to the General Affairs Department to help. When he first came, there was no place to sit. He could only move a small stool and barely squeeze on a table with a comrade...
It was this behavior that made the colleague dissatisfied, and he kept complaining, "Our office is crowded enough, why did you assign another person to come? And he squeezed on the same table with me, how shameless..."
Everyone knows that Zhang Yupei was kicked out of the Organization Department and moved to the Government Office, and then from the deputy county magistrate's secretary to a handyman in the General Affairs Department... I don't know whether people sympathize with him or not, but everyone looks down on him. They think he is an unlucky guy who missed so many opportunities and has now fallen to doing odd jobs... It's quite ridiculous.
Therefore, the eight people in the office hardly took him seriously and usually ordered him around...
"Yupei, go and bring the boxes of paper...", "Go and bring two bottles of water and fill the washbasin with water...", "Go and sweep the floor and wipe the table..."
Anyway, when there is such a dirty and tiring job, the first person they think of is Zhang Yupei...
At first, Zhang Yupei didn't think it was a big deal, but after a while, he realized that he was just a joke in the eyes of his colleagues in the government office. No one took him seriously. Everyone treated him as a soldier who could be ordered around... He had no status at all, and even his dignity as a human being was sometimes trampled on...
He was tired and thought that maybe he was not suitable for working within the system. He might as well resign and go to a big city to hang out with his classmates. Whether he did well or not, at least he would have more dignity than here.
