Chapter 170 Follow the lead
The county town is still under construction, and I don’t know what the situation is like in the towns below.
The flag compound looked ordinary from the outside, and there were militiamen guarding the door with rifles. Lin Qing was stopped while carrying a lot of bags.
To be precise, the other party thought it was someone's child who didn't know any better and came here to play. But after a closer look, they realized that the child was just short and not a child.
Lin Qing was embarrassed for a moment, and was only allowed to pass after she took out her ID.
Lin Qing found the finance office by following the sign on the door wall in a row of bungalows.
At first she wondered what the Finance Department meant. After she strolled around half of the yard, she roughly understood that this Finance Department might be the future Finance Bureau.
The departments in this institute are very interesting, including the government office, forestry office, construction office, water conservancy office, exploration office...
To put it another way, isn't it just a game?
I guess it’s because the team is too small and they’re embarrassed to call it a bureau?
A county town waiting to be developed. Three words popped up in Lin Qing’s mind - truly pioneering.
The finance office was in the most remote corner of the yard. Lin Qing took a long way around before finding it. It felt like the finance office was hidden away on purpose.
There are five staff members in the office, three men and two women.
The temperament of one of the middle-aged officials was the most prominent. With his Mediterranean-style hairstyle, he would feel a little sorry for himself if he didn't become the top leader.
The middle-aged woman sitting opposite him had a serious face and looked like a class teacher.
It seems that... he has the temperament of a boss.
Lin Qing knocked on the door politely: "Excuse me, is Director Bai here?"
She was going to report to Director Bai Weiming, but experience taught her not to take sex for granted, so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.
The middle-aged man with Mediterranean features was drinking water from a teacup. When he heard someone calling him and looked towards the door, he saw someone carrying large and small bags and knew who it was.
"You are the new Xiao Lin, right?" Director Bai smiled gently, "Welcome to join our big family."
Lin Qing put her luggage outside the door and walked into the office in a straight line. Director Bai began to introduce Lin Qing to the other staff members in the room.
Then he introduced other people to Lin Qing.
The middle-aged woman with the temperament of a class teacher is Deputy Director Chen Yuzhen.
Among the two male secretaries, the one who looks to be in his thirties is called Gao Yucheng, the one in his twenties is called Du Baichuan, and the remaining young female secretary who looks to be in her early twenties is called Wang Qi.
It was hard to tell what attitude the two male officers had, they were both welcoming politely, but Officer Wang Qi was genuinely welcoming.
The excitement in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Lin Qing thought about it and probably understood the child's mentality. There were only a few people working in the office, and there was no one to chat with in private. He might feel a little lonely.
Director Bai symbolically praised the new colleague: "Colleague Xiaolin was assigned here as a college student. I believe you have made great achievements in your work. Our department needs fresh blood like you to join us so that we can make further progress and grow stronger. Secretary Xiaolin, do a good job. The leaders have high expectations for you."
After hearing these words, Lin Qing was afraid of making enemies, so she quickly shook her head modestly: "Leader, I am just a half-baked college student. I come to work to learn from you. Only in practice can we get the truth. Our teachers have said that what we learn in school is just the tip of the iceberg. If we really want to learn, we should be humble and learn from our predecessors and leaders in the unit."
"You are the only real teachers, guides and leaders in our future life. Just treat me as your student and command me. If you say west, I will never go east. If you say east, I will never go west." Lin Qing has begun to admire Director Bai.
Several other young officers: "......"
Of course, we can’t just flatter our leaders.
Lin Qing then said to Deputy Director Chen, "Director Chen, if I do anything wrong in the future, please feel free to criticize and teach me. You and Director Bai are my second parents, and I will follow your lead."
The voice was so clear that it seemed like she was giving a speech.
Wang Qi looked at Lin Qing with curiosity, his eyes shining.
Lin Qing then said to the young staff members, "Please give me guidance and care. I will trouble you in the future."
When Director Bai heard in the morning that a junior college student was going to come to his department, he grumbled inwardly that students nowadays come here before they have even finished their studies, are arrogant, don't understand what people say, and are only half-baked at work, making them particularly difficult to lead.
Although we are short of manpower, we would rather recruit secondary school or high school students, because at least they are obedient and easy to command.
Therefore, there was no expectation for Lin Qing's arrival.
Now looking at Lin Qing, he was somewhat satisfied: "Secretary Xiao Lin, there is no need to be so self-deprecating. Director Chen and I talked about you a few days ago and have high expectations for you."
"I will work hard and live up to the expectations of my leaders." Lin Qing looked excited, as if she was very happy that the leaders valued her.
Furthermore, excessive modesty is a sign of incompetence.
Just say these humble words.
Seeing that Lin Qing's bag was still outside, Director Bai looked at Wang Qi and said, "Secretary Wang, take Secretary Lin to the dormitory to settle down, and take her to familiarize herself with the compound."
Wang Qi nodded and looked at Lin Qing shyly but eagerly. Lin Qing smiled back and their brain waves connected at once.
When they arrived at the door, Wang Qi enthusiastically helped Lin Qing carry things. Lin Qing said a few polite words and then followed her lead.
"We have a cafeteria in our courtyard. It's over there."
“That’s the toilet in the yard.”
"That's the activity venue. Male colleagues basically come here to play ball or something when they're not at work. Sometimes they also hold competitions here."
"That--is our girls' dormitory." Wang Qi kept talking all the way.
Lin Qing was standing beside them, making sounds like “um”, “ah” and “oh”.
After all, it is a government department, so the dormitory cannot be too shabby. It is a bright red brick house, laid out very straight and neatly. It is a double room, but probably to save some bricks, the space is not very large.
There were two iron beds, a table and a washstand in the dormitory, and nothing else.
The bed on the right was already occupied. As soon as Lin Qing looked over, Wang Qi said, "This is my bed."
Lin Qing was a little surprised. Although Deputy Director Chen and Wang Qi had different surnames, they looked somewhat similar. Lin Qing guessed that they might be related.
"Isn't your home here?"
Wang Qi shook his head: "My home is in the town down below."
Seeing that Wang Qi had no intention of continuing, Lin Qing did not continue asking.
It was quite taboo to have relatives in the workplace, so Lin Qing put her things away and went back to the office with Wang Qi.
On the way, he looked like a newbie and asked about the department's work.
Wang Qi sighed: "Our department - it looks very impressive to outsiders, as if we can give money to whoever we want, but in fact, we are not popular with anyone, and we can be called upon for anything."
"You'll know once you stay for a while."
Lin Qing: “…”
Oh~
It means that there is no bureau, but they do more things than the bureau does?
