At 2:30 p.m., Ren Suo arrived at the Xianlin Subdistrict Office of Quanliu District, Lianjiang City, his future workplace.
Yes, he is Ren Suo, a graduate of a national key undergraduate university. After graduation, he chose to work in the street office.
He was only able to get in after taking the city-wide civil service examination. Although he passed the examination, in fact, if his uncle had not had some connections in Lianjiang City, he might have been eliminated in the interview.
The Street Office is the most basic functional unit of the Xuan State government with a professional system. In fact, it is a township government in disguise. As for prospects, it is not without them. If one can become the leader of the Street Office Party Working Committee Office, such as a secretary, it is not impossible to move up in the future. However, it is more likely that if someone else leaves this position, a new person will be parachuted in immediately to gain experience.
Ren Suolai, who worked at the Sub-district Office, naturally had no intention of becoming the 'future successor of Xuan State'. He just wanted to find a stable job with little work to live out his life. It just so happened that the civil service system also met the expectations of his parents' generation, so he spent his junior and senior years preparing for the exam.
Street offices are also divided into those with more or less work. Those with more work are extremely busy, while those with less work just sit and wait for tea. After his investigation, Ren Suo believes that the Xianlin Street Office where he works should belong to the one with less work - the residential areas under its jurisdiction are all well-off offices with property management companies and neighborhood committees, and it is one of the new urban areas built during the development of Lianjiang City.
For example, the sub-district office that governs the old city and the urban villages has a lot of work to do every day because there is no property management company in the area, and the water pipes and wires are all "antiques" laid decades ago. Every day, people come to ask what to do if the water pipe bursts or the fuse burns out. Every day, a large group of aunties and uncles come to the sub-district office to chat and ask questions. Even copying and printing have to come to the sub-district office.
Then the subdistrict office will tell them that the neighborhood committee is actually closer to them...
Originally Ren Suo thought that he would spend his long life surfing the Internet and drinking tea every day in Xianlin Street Office. Unexpectedly, he was dragged in for a physical examination before he even started working.
"Xiao Suo is here?" As soon as Ren Suo walked in, Ye Jiamin, the director of the street office who was talking to someone in the hall, immediately noticed him and waved to him: "Come here, let me introduce you. Xiaoxuan, Xiaolong, this is Ren Suo. Like you, he is a new member of the department this year."
Director Ye said to Ren Suo, "This is Li Qingxuan, this is Mo Zhaolong, get along well with each other, they are also freshmen, young people should have common topics."
After the three of them said hello, Director Ye continued, "We've been waiting for you. The others have already gone to the health center on Yuexiu Street. Now that everyone is here, let's go too."
Yuexiu Street is not far from Xianlin Subdistrict Office, so the three of them decided to walk there while chatting. Director Ye is indeed the director of the Subdistrict Office. He is in his forties and looks kind and friendly. He took care of each of them just right when chatting: "You young people, you play games and watch TV series every day. Do you need to exercise occasionally? But after coming to the Subdistrict Office, you will definitely not be afraid of less exercise."
Li Qingxuan pretended to be surprised: "Is the Street Office so busy? I thought they just chatted with the old men and women every day."
"There are times like this." Director Ye laughed, "But when we are busy, we have to go door to door. For example, half a month ago, the city issued a notice to inspect the permanent population. Even if we assign the task to each neighborhood committee, we still have to conduct our own inspections to confirm the latest tenant and owner information."
"For example, five days ago, our superiors asked us to go out and investigate the residents in the surrounding area. They said there was a person... who was not a fugitive. They asked us to search every house for a 17-year-old high school student. We didn't know which leader's son had run away from home..."
"There have been a lot of things like this lately, so I can't be idle."
It took them less than 20 minutes to reach the health center on Yuexiu Street. There was already a long line inside. Ren Suo took a look and felt that there were at least a thousand people. He couldn't help but smack his lips: "Wow, so many people come out for a physical examination on a weekday?"
"Yes, this is our second to last round." Director Ye said embarrassedly, "This time the arrangement is very urgent. The whole area needs to be completed within one day. We have arranged four shifts to come here in batches. I was so busy that I remembered that I didn't notify you."
"It's okay, it's okay." The three of them said.
There was a workbench at the entrance where you could get the forms. Behind the workbench sat a lazy-looking young man in a black vest. When Ren Suo took the form, he was still playing with his phone without even raising his eyelids.
For some reason, Ren Suo felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart and stared at him blankly for a long time. It was not until Mo Zhaolong patted him on the back that he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly walked in to queue up for the physical examination.
Even if I am moved, I would rather be moved by a handsome and charming man. Why should I be moved by a man who is not even handsome?
"Brother." Mo Zhaolong walked up and said with a smile: "So..."
“No, no, no.” Ren Suo shook his head repeatedly: “I’m a straight man.”
"Every man thinks he is straight before he meets the right person." Mo Zhaolong advised: "From childhood to adulthood, we have missed so many things we like. Do you want to miss the person you like too?"
"Go, go, go."
Men can easily make friends because of such philosophical questions. Ren Suo and Mo Zhaolong queued up for a physical examination. They went through the internal medicine, ophthalmology, ears, mouth and nose examinations very quickly. There was also a blood drawing vehicle in the health center. There were so many people queuing there, so they were the last to line up for blood drawing.
Mo Zhaolong was very talkative along the way. He took the initiative to talk about his college days and complained about his roommates and teachers, which made Ren Suo nod and recall his own glorious years. Occasionally, he talked about his love for a very unpopular Xuanguo comic book "The Story of Sprays", and Ren Suo felt that he had met a good friend.
It is common to have common interests, but having a common but unpopular interest is no less than finding a needle in a haystack. Ren Suo simply couldn't find a friend to discuss this comic with in real life, so when he met one, he was naturally as excited as a snail finding a snail.
When it was almost their turn to draw blood, Ren Suo was still not satisfied, but Mo Zhaolong's face changed and he held his stomach: "Oh no, my stomach hurts..."
"Ah? Then go to the toilet quickly." Ren Suo said.
"But after I leave, I have to queue up in such a long line again." Mo Zhaolong looked bitter: "The last round of people are here, and I will have to queue for another hour then..."
Mo Zhaolong looked at Ren Suo and asked, "Brother, can you help me draw it?"
"Huh? You can help with this?" Ren Suo blinked. He had heard of helping with physical tests, but had never heard of helping with physical examinations.
"Don't worry, it's just a little blood drawn, it's okay." Mo Zhaolong said, "I also had a physical examination half a month ago, nothing happened, so I don't mind this physical examination. On the contrary, wasting an hour is more troublesome... How about I treat you to a meal later, barbecue and beer, I'll pay for it!"
Ren Suo thought about it and decided that it didn't matter, as he could still get a free meal, so he took his medical examination form and went to have his blood drawn.
He first completed his own physical examination and blood draw, then took Mo Zhaolong's physical examination form to another row for blood draw. There were many people queuing for blood draw here, and everyone was crowded together. Ren Suo thought he could easily get away with it, but when he sat down, a young man in a black vest came over and asked, "Didn't you just draw blood?"
"...Ah?" Ren Suo didn't expect this physical examination to be so serious. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm just helping someone..."
"Help? Help whom?" The man in black vest frowned.
Ren Suo thought it was no big deal, and raised the medical examination form in his hand: "Colleague, he suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet, and asked me to draw blood for him. In this case, I will call him over."
The black vest said, "Then take us to find him."
It was then that Ren Suo noticed that there were four men in black vests standing behind the blood-drawing table. Without exception, they all looked strong and young. They didn't look like doctors or ordinary staff, but more like soldiers.
Caused trouble? Ren Suo blinked, turned his head and saw a familiar figure running towards the door. He immediately pointed at him and shouted, "Brother Long, have you finished pooping? Why are you leaving!?"
Ren Suoke had no intention of taking the blame for someone he had just met, so he pointed him out immediately.
The four men in black vests looked over immediately, but the hall was crowded with people and they had no way of getting there.
"Don't let him escape!"
The leader in black vests grabbed the top corner of the wall, pulled it hard and stepped on it, and actually walked directly on the wall. Then he pushed hard and flew over the heads of everyone in the hall, jumping across a distance of several meters and directly to the door!
"Wall-climbing?"
"How do you catch the criminal?"
"Which prisoner is stupid enough to come to a place where civil servants gather?"
"It should be that there is a criminal in a place where civil servants gather..."
Not knowing which civil servant spoke in plain language, Ren Suo also squeezed over to see what was going on.
Mo Zhaolong ran away, but the health center was so small that he could only run towards the door. A black vest shouted loudly: "Minghuo, stop him!"
The young man in a black vest who was sitting at the door and was responsible for distributing medical examination forms stood up lazily, pointed at Mo Zhaolong and said, "Stop."
"Stop your mother—"
Mo Zhaolong rushed forward with his fist raised.
The young man in the black vest first hooked his finger in the direction of the gate, and the two iron doors suddenly squeaked shut quickly. Without any acceleration, he suddenly rushed into Mo Zhaolong's arms and punched the latter several meters away!
Just looking at it made one feel like his internal organs were about to be dislocated, and Mo Zhaolong was knocked to the ground, groaning incessantly and unable to get up. The other black vests immediately rushed over and held him down.
"You forced me to do this!"
Mo Zhaolong cursed, and then the big men in black vests on him lost consciousness and fell down. Not only that, even the people who were a little closer to him fell asleep, which shocked the onlookers.
"Virus?"
"What disease is so terrible?"
"Go back quickly, it can be transmitted through the air!"
The crowd rushed into the health center in an uproar, only Ren Suo remained on the first floor, hiding behind a pillar, staring blankly at Mo Zhaolong.
For some reason, now, Mo Zhaolong also gave him a feeling,
A heart-pounding feeling.
