Chapter 14: A Show of Power
The materials Huang Qian handed to her seemed thin, but the main point was the files in the relevant compressed package sent to her on the computer.
She was so engrossed in the meal that she only stood up when Zhang Yameng called her during lunch.
I feel even more back pain.
I'll order takeout and have a cushion delivered later. I can't wait until tomorrow.
They came out slowly, and the elevator was crowded at the time of getting off work, so they took the stairs directly.
Chat along the way.
As expected, just as Shi Ye’s first impression was, Zhang Yameng has a very cheerful personality.
She is eight years older than her and graduated with a doctorate in ideological and political education last year.
Then, for talent introduction in public institutions, PhD candidates are exempt from the written test and can be hired after passing the interview.
"So I joined the company a year earlier than you, and I always felt like a newcomer. Now there's finally someone to keep me company." Her tone was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.
I wanted to laugh when she said that.
"It feels like what you said is just like you fought alone for a long time, and then finally waited for the rescue team."
Zhang Yameng nodded frantically, "Yes, your analogy is so apt!"
"That's it. It's not that the office atmosphere is bad."
"It's just... sometimes the older brothers and sisters talk about children's schooling and elderly care, and as someone who's single and not pregnant, I don't have anything in common with them."
"Sometimes we can't even enjoy delicious food together. I'm still enjoying spicy snacks, potato chips and jelly, while they're drinking health tea."
"I guess the healthiest snack I eat in their eyes is soda crackers."
Soda cracker: “…”
When I heard her recount the "grievances" of the past, I really understood.
Comforting, "It's okay, the two of us will stick together and we will definitely wait for other new forces."
"Yeah, Xiaoye, you're so nice. I'll give you half of the spicy noodles from now on."
If you didn't know, you might think that Shi had helped her with something big. The smile on Zhang Yameng's face was brighter than flowers.
From Huang Qian's perspective behind them, the two seemed to have a very good relationship, not like they had only known each other for one morning.
I got familiar with it quickly.
…
As a municipal unit, the Cultural and Tourism Bureau also has a prosperous financial situation.
The meal cost is 45 yuan per meal, and employees only need to pay an additional 6 yuan per person.
Six meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, as well as seasonal fruits and yogurt, are available. You can choose the amount of food you want.
Zhang Yameng highly recommended cold beef and spicy diced chicken for meat dishes, so Shi also chose some. For the vegetarian dishes, she chose refreshing blanched okra and some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
She didn't take too much of anything at the time, unlike at home. There were many people at work, and it would be too conspicuous and wasteful if she just threw away the food she couldn't finish.
When she picked up the nectarines, she realized that she had forgotten to eat the fruit that Zhou Junheng had asked her aunt to pack in the morning.
Just wait and have it as afternoon tea.
Zhang Yameng has a normal appetite, but seeing the tiny amount on her plate, people asked her if she was on a diet.
Tokiya shook his head and made excuses.
"It's too hot in the summer to eat."
Not cheating.
Because when she asks later, Shiye will tell her, "It's cold in winter and I have no appetite."...
After all, no one who eats with her will not ask.
Sheng Li asks this question every few months.
Taking photos is a must before eating, and the practice of eating before taking photos applies everywhere.
Although Shi Ye was not planning to take a photo, he did not pick up his chopsticks yet and waited for Zhang Yameng to finish taking the photo.
While drinking a drink, a message came in on the phone placed beside me.
Zhou Junheng asked her if her morning went well and if she had eaten.
She replied: It’s good, I’m about to eat it.
I asked him politely: What about you?
The top shows that the other person is typing, and you can also think about what he is typing.
The message came in, it was a photo of his lunch.
The next one: Everything goes smoothly. Remember to balance work and rest, and don't overwork yourself. I'm having lunch too.
After replying "OK" alone, the time felt like it came to an abrupt end.
And she seemed too perfunctory.
She looked at the table, took a picture of the plate in front of her and sent it over.
The man replied immediately.
"Okay, continue eating and see you tonight."
Zhang Yameng finished filming and put her phone aside while watching. The two began to eat lunch.
She asked Shi Ye casually, "Did you send it to your family too?"
Shi also felt that Zhou Junheng was indeed a capable person and nodded.
"Well, today is the first day of reporting, so I might be a little worried."
Zhang Yameng expressed her understanding, and she subconsciously put herself in the situation and was talking about her own parents.
"My mom is retired and her biggest hobby now is studying food. She looks at the dishes at our lunch restaurant, learns what seasonal vegetables to eat, and then gives herself ideas...which helps her avoid overlap in dinner."
Sometimes he laughs.
"This is also good. When you go home to eat every day, it's like opening a blind box. It's a little surprise after a day of work."
Zhang Yameng agreed, "Indeed, I have something to look forward to after get off work."
Turning around, I had a thought.
"It's so easy for workers to coax themselves into submission... Isn't it just a matter of eating some good food and getting on with the job?"
Shi Ye laughed, there was nothing wrong with her from this angle.
The meal ended with an interesting chat. Although Shi Ye tried his best, there was still some food left.
Zhang Yameng just took the CD action.
She couldn't help but sigh, "You skinny guys eat so much! I really deserve my weight."
"If I eat this little bit, I'll be so hungry that I'll faint at my workstation this afternoon."
Shi Ye: “…”
Maybe it was Zhang Yameng's "fainting from hunger" that reminded Shi Ye, so she took precautions.
There was some fruit from this morning in my bag, and if I kept it any longer it would become less fresh by the afternoon, so I shared it with her when I got back to the office.
When Huang Qian entered the office, she happened to see Shi Ye taking out a glass bowl of strawberries from Hermès.
She has a sharp eye and is always very sensitive to these luxury goods.
In this world of fame and fortune, she is all too familiar with judging people by their appearance.
As the department director, she can distinguish the boundaries between different levels better than anyone else.
After taking out the blueberry bowl, Shiye put the bag away again and placed it casually on the desktop computer under the table.
The place where the computer turns on and off.
Huang Qian knew she was not mistaken, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shi Ye had a background?
But he immediately denied this idea.
Because as far as she knew, none of the leaders had reminded them that someone was coming in the past few days. If it was really someone with connections, they would have given a heads-up in advance.
She thought that he probably bought the fake bag out of vanity and wanted to attract attention and establish his image at the new company.
When I have time these days, I will ask Sister Wang from the archives department. You can't falsify the family situation on the form there.
All the strawberries were given to Zhang Yameng. Since there were a lot of blueberries, I also shared some with my colleagues.
She didn't expect that this breakfast fruit would become a social gift... When giving fruit to everyone, several colleagues also stuffed her with a few bags of snacks.
It feels a bit like sharing snacks between the desks in front and behind each other in high school.
Huang Qian said no, indicating that she had just rinsed her mouth, so Shi didn't give her any more.
She didn't even leave her portion for her seat, she just threw it into the trash can when she passed by... She felt she had no appetite to eat anymore.
…
After the institutional reform, the Cultural Bureau and the Tourism Bureau were merged.
From the name, we can roughly tell that the unit’s main responsibility is to manage local culture and tourism.
It is not a paid free visit to tourist attractions.
Instead, it is responsible for the introduction of cultural and tourism industries, supervision of tourist attractions and planning of tourism development.
With the development of the economy, people's living standards are improving and the problem of food and drink is being solved.
Development-oriented cultural consumption and tourism consumption are booming, and it is the Internet era... The work of the Culture and Tourism Bureau is not an easy job.
At the same time, he was in the Resource Development Section, coordinating and guiding the tourism development of the entire Kyoto area.
It sounds very comprehensive, but in reality there is much more to do.
The document Huang Qian asked her to look at was an application from a popular singer to hold his tenth anniversary tour concert at the Kyoto Gymnasium. Yes, the first agency to submit the application for approval was the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Of course, everyone agrees with this. The celebrity economy can stimulate and drive local consumption to a great extent.
It is strongly advocated.
But the approval process is not short.
This is because it requires coordination among many departments. The most direct ones are the subway operating hours under the Transportation Bureau and traffic maintenance around the venues. Traffic jams and stampedes absolutely need to be prevented.
There are also inspections of venues where large crowds gather, and fire safety compliance requires the cooperation of the fire brigade under the police station.
The Market Supervision and Administration Bureau is also in place. We need to be vigilant against scalpers outside the venues and pay attention to the safety of food sold at street stalls.
The so-called coordination means coordinating all parties.
There are so many complicated things going on. Shi Ye looked at the approval documents submitted by each department and then summarized them.
If there is anything else that needs to be added, please call the person in charge of other units.
The job Huang Qian gave her was typically tiring and thankless.
The Kyoto concert had many events and clear procedures. She managed it by simply copying the experience of her predecessors. She had no credit and no innovation. Moreover, ensuring the smooth running of the event was their basic responsibility.
If you can't do it well, it means you are careless and lack experience...you need more practice and polish.
Huang Qian's show of force was quite accurate.
As expected, I hadn't finished the work by the time I got off work according to my own pace, but I didn't plan to work overtime.
Save the modified document in a named folder on the desktop and shut down the computer.
There were not many people left in the office. One of them was getting up and preparing to go back, saying that his child was out of school and his parents-in-law had already picked him up. If he didn't go back now, there would be a traffic jam on the road.
Shiya packed up his things and put the written sticky note into his bag.
Just then a message came in on the phone.
