Wen Dongrong was in high spirits, but Lao Li was depressed.
When the quota for studying at the Party School fell on Wen Dongrong, Lao Li knew that Wen Dongrong's promotion was a foregone conclusion. In the future, Wen Dongrong would be promoted from the same level to his superior, and Lao Li had to continue working in the unit. It took him a long time to adjust his mentality before he reluctantly accepted Wen Dongrong's Versailles behavior.
If Lao Li really wanted to stay away from Wen Dongrong, he could have simply not answered Wen Dongrong's call, but Lao Li still answered it.
After enduring countless times, it was finally Lao Li's turn to be proud: Wen Dongrong had spread the word early on that he wanted to pursue further studies, but he failed the exam!
Old Li wanted to roar to the sky.
It's so rare for God to open his eyes!
If your child is excellent, that’s the child’s ability. What does it have to do with your surname Wen?
Look, the guy named Wen failed the exam.
Ha ha ha ha!
Old Li called Wen Dongrong several times a day, asking when Wen Dongrong would return to work. He said that failure is the mother of success and he would criticize Wen Dongrong whenever he got the chance.
It was a rare occasion when Wen Dongrong couldn't retort, and Old Li was happy for several days.
This concern continued until Wen Dongrong learned about the transfer order from Rongcheng. When Lao Li called him again to show his concern, Wen Dongrong pretended to be heavy-hearted and said, "Lao Li, I miss you all too, and I'm looking forward to returning to work soon. Unfortunately... Alas, man proposes, God disposes!"
At that moment, Lao Li's heart was in a knot.
What does it mean? Wen Dongrong can't go back to work. Could it be that the physical examination showed some serious problem? Why does the tone sound so ominous?
Although the two men were fighting, Lao Li wanted to defeat Wen Dongrong rather than hoping that Wen Dongrong would get a terminal illness - Lao Li was not wrong in his guess, Wen Dongrong really had a serious illness, the late stage of Versailles cancer, which was incurable!
Old Li's worry did not make Wen Dongrong show mercy. When Wen Dongrong deliberately mentioned the transfer order in a light tone, Old Li felt the malice of the world.
Pop.
Old Li hung up the phone loudly, his lips trembling with anger.
"The one with the surname Wen is not a human being... He is really not a human being..."
Old Li had a heartache. He got drunk that night and had a splitting headache. He cursed Wen Dongrong at home.
His wife asked him to speak more quietly. Old Li felt aggrieved. He held his wife's hand and listed Wen Dongrong's crimes, sobbing and looking very pitiful.
His wife comforted Lao Li, "You don't like him, so you should be happy that he's been transferred! Didn't your company say they were going to promote someone else? Without Wen Dongrong, you have another chance, right? This is great news!"
Old Li thought vaguely.
It seems to be true?
Without Wen Dongrong, I no longer have to listen to those boastful words.
Without Wen Dongrong, he had another chance at work.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a great thing!
But for some reason, Lao Li felt lost deep down in his heart.
Wen Dongrong can't wait to move to a better platform, but I can only stay in my current unit. Will the gap between me and Wen Dongrong get wider and wider in the future?
Although Wen Dongrong is a bit of a nuisance, he has a more compatible temperament with Lao Li than other people in the unit. At least Wen Dongrong's nuisance nature is more obvious and more real.
Alas, I must have drunk fake wine and my brain was affected. I can't bear to leave Wen Dongrong!
Not to mention that Old Li felt like he had drunk fake wine and his brain was in trouble, even Wen Dongrong himself, after Old Li hung up the phone, was first proud, but gradually felt reluctant.
As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. As long as you are not lying in the coffin, you should not stop running towards a better life. Wen Dongrong longs for a better platform... But does moving forward mean leaving the past behind completely?
Without Lao Li, who can I show off to in the future?
What to do then?
Does he really have to rely on him to find a way to transfer Old Li as well? !
——Then doesn’t Lao Li win just by lying down?
If Wen Ying knew about Lao Wen's current mentality, she would definitely laugh at him mercilessly: Transferring Lao Li's job? Typical clueless person! He doesn't even know if his own father can gain a foothold in the new unit!
…
While Wen Dongrong was struggling over whether to take his old rival with him to ascend, December 15th came in the blink of an eye. This day was the deadline for the first cycle of the short story group of the Spark Cup Essay Competition!
The first issue of "Spark" was released on the 15th of last month, and readers may not be able to buy it until after the 15th.
Taking into account the time for writing and mailing the manuscript, the first cycle is actually quite tight, which sounds a bit disadvantageous. Xiao Niu guessed that real masters would spend more time writing the manuscript and would not rush to finish the first cycle... Xiao Niu is still too young!
According to statistics, the number of entries sent in before December 15, for the short story category alone, exceeded 10,000!
Yes, participating in the first cycle is a bit of a disadvantage in terms of time.
But precisely because time is limited, the quality of most entries will not be very high. On the contrary, high-quality works are more likely to stand out. Smart people will take advantage of the time difference and submit a manuscript first. If it is selected, it will be a pleasant surprise. If it is not selected, it is just a waste of an application form and stamp money. The low investment and high return are worth a try!
Some contestants even used registered mail for fear of missing the first-cycle deadline.
At this moment, all the planners of the competition gathered together, with Xiao Niu as the guide, and Wen Ying and others following behind Xiao Niu.
“That’s all for the first cycle.”
The office door was opened and all the manuscripts came into view.
From the moment the first manuscript was received, Xiao Niu arranged for someone to register it, and the magazine even cleared out a large office early on to store the manuscripts, for fear that they would be lost due to human error.
More than 10,000 short story manuscripts were piled up in the same office and neatly placed in storage baskets. When Xiao Niu opened the office door, it gave everyone a shocking visual experience.
