May 11, 2005, Wednesday, the weather was sunny. This was a special day for Li Xiuyuan, and even for Li Xiuyuan's family.
Li Jianguo and his wife got up early and prepared breakfast for their son Li Xiuyuan. Before 7:30, they were already urging Li Xiuyuan to go out.
"When you get to the company, remember to listen to your leader, be alert, and get along well with your colleagues. Suffering a loss is a blessing, so don't take it too seriously..." Li Jianguo looked at his son and reminded him before Li Xiuyuan left.
Li Xiuyuan listened and felt a little amused. It's not that his father's simple idea is wrong, but it is outdated and no longer belongs to the same era. It may have been useful in the 1970s and 1980s.
But in modern times, it's not that simple at all. If you dare to take a loss as a blessing, then you will enjoy endless blessings...
However, Li Xiuyuan did not refute his father. This was a clash of cognition and concepts between two generations. There was no need to be too serious about it. His father was also doing it for his own good.
"Okay, I understand, Mom and Dad. I'm going to work, not to kindergarten, so you don't have to send me off." Li Xiuyuan joked.
Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe also felt a little more relaxed.
Li Xiuyuan went downstairs and looked up. The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. It was a nice day.
Li Xiuyuan's home is not far from the county government, and it only takes less than ten minutes to get there by bus.
The gate of Huangyuan County Government is quite grand. This is the center of Huangyuan County. All matters concerning the livelihoods and well-being of hundreds of thousands of people in Huangyuan County originate from here.
Li Xiuyuan had clearly passed by the gate of the county government before, but this time when he stood at the gate of the county government again, he had a different feeling.
Taking this step means that one's career path has officially begun.
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and walked into the county government compound with his head held high. However, he was stopped when he arrived at the guard room.
"What do you do?" The security guard looked quite old and didn't know whose relative Li Xiuyuan was. He looked at Li Xiuyuan warily.
"Uncle, I'm a newly-qualified civil servant this year. I'm here to report for work at the county government." Li Xiuyuan took out his registration notice from his bag. The uncle looked at the bright red seal of the Human Resources Bureau on the registration notice, and the vigilance in his eyes disappeared immediately. He looked at Li Xiuyuan with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead. It's the first office on the left on the third floor of the government office building. You'll know when you get there."
"Thank you, sir." After Li Xiuyuan thanked him, he walked into the compound. In front of the office building, there was a solemn national emblem hanging. Climbing up the stairs in front of the office building, looking at the national emblem made people feel inexplicably awe-inspiring.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but recall a line from a TV drama he'd watched, "As a business, no matter how big you are, you can't hang the national emblem on your door. But as long as it's a first-level government, no matter how small, even a township government, it can hang the national emblem on its door..."
This is the charm of power. Li Xiuyuan walked into the office building and headed towards the third floor. Many people were busy along the way, so Li Xiuyuan stopped and made way.
