"Girl, which school did you graduate from?" asked the old man.
"We are the People's Congress."
"Oh, that's a good school. How old are you now? Do you have any classmates?"
"I'm twenty-four and already married." Hearing something was wrong, Linglong quickly emphasized the point.
"Oh, they're already married." The old man seemed a little regretful.
"Yes, they have several daughters and children too."
"Is that so? Then what does your lover do?"
"My husband is a soldier."
"Oh, you're a military family member."
"Yes."
The old man's enthusiasm suddenly increased.
But we have arrived.
"That's it."
"Okay, sir, thank you."
"Why are you being so polite? We are all family."
Linglong waited until the old man left before she went forward and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Linglong opened the door and went in.
Behind a not-so-big desk sat a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm Zhong Linglong, a college student here to report."
"Oh, it's you." The middle-aged man suddenly realized.
Linglong smiled shyly. "Well, what should I do?"
"Qian, I'll take you to our personnel department first."
Although the various files and information of college students like Linglong are managed by a special personnel bureau, each unit also has its own personnel department.
New employees like Linglong still need to go through some procedures.
There was no need to worry about Linglong.
As a newly assigned college student with a high level of education, she was given cadre status when she first arrived at the unit. Unless she did not go wrong, she would be promoted faster than ordinary cadres in the future. Everyone welcomed her with a smile.
It took a lot of time to go through the formalities, and Linglong was also asked about her family situation again.
Linglong kept her husband's family situation a secret and only said that her ex-husband was a soldier.
Because she was only twenty-four, everyone who heard about it thought that her husband did not hold a high position in the army and his family could not accompany him, so he and she were now separated.
Linglong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she found that everyone in the unit was acting like they were checking her household registration and were keen on matchmaking.
I am also glad that I am married and don’t have to face these troubles.
For lunch, she was taken to the company cafeteria.
The food in the cafeteria is just average. It’s filling, but the taste is just okay. Linglong is not picky.
She didn't want to seem out of place when she first arrived.
After dinner, she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she was taken to an office and assigned a new desk. There were three other people in the office.
The middle-aged man she met before was her section chief, named Wang Zhongqi.
After introducing her to other people in the office and asking everyone to take care of Linglong, the section chief left.
Everyone was concerned about her family situation again, and her delicate face was almost frozen with smiles.
Everyone lost some interest after knowing that she was married. The other people in the office were much older than her.
Knowing that she was new there, he didn't have any work to do, so he found two old documents and gave them to her to read first.
One piece of information is the organizational structure and department introduction of their Cultural Relics Bureau.
Another one is the job responsibilities.
Linglong watched very seriously.
This moment of trance passed quickly.
Linglong only realized it was time to get off work when someone knocked on the table.
Most people go to the parking shed to ride their bikes, and a few go to take the bus.
Some people who didn't recognize Linglong asked a few questions, and several senior colleagues in Linglong's office explained it to them.
They came to see Linglong because she was young and pretty, and she was also a new college student. All the single male colleagues in the unit were happy, and they heard that Linglong was getting married.
The male journalists' enthusiasm for her suddenly diminished.
However, everyone is generally happy because a good-looking girl has come to the company.
Even if you just look at it occasionally, it is very pleasing to the eye.
Linglong did not go home to pick up her son, but rode her bike to the compound to pick up her son.
When he saw her, Zeng Yu asked about her reporting to the new unit.
"It's pretty good. My leader is good, and my staff are very warm and caring towards me."
"That's good. If you need any help from home, just tell me."
"I know, Mom."
"Why don't you guys eat at home first and then go back? It would save you the trouble of going back."
"Mom, no, Tiansen might not be here for dinner yet. I'll go home and cook."
"All right then."
Linglong guessed correctly. When she rode her bike home and the meal was almost ready, her husband came in.
"The meal is ready and we'll be eating soon."
"No rush, how about you reporting in today?"
"It's good, better than I expected."
"That's good, you're not worried anymore, are you?"
"If you keep nagging, I won't let you eat." Linglong glanced at him.
Zheng Tiansen laughed and left to play with his son.
Listening to the voices of the father and son outside, Linglong smiled and shook her head.
After dinner, Zheng Tiansen went to wash up, and she found a book to read.
When Zheng Tiansen came over after washing, he was a little surprised to see that the book she was reading was about business.
"The big boss is going to take further studies?"
"Of course, I want to be a big businessman in the future."
"Then I'll just wait to benefit from my wife's help."
"Don't worry, I will support you from now on."
The couple joked with each other and were very happy.
After a while, they started talking about their son's schooling and the trivialities of home life, which was both daily and warm.
With the experience of reporting on the first day, Linglong felt much more relaxed when she went to the company the next day.
She rode her bike to pick me up yesterday, and everyone thought she was from Beijing.
You know, in the Cultural Relics Bureau, apart from the senior staff who have been allocated housing, there are still many others living in the unit dormitories.
As soon as she arrived at the office today, Linglong's senior colleague asked her where she lived.
Linglong told her the name of the alley in her yard.
"That area is in a pretty good location, but I heard it's a bit crowded. There are so many households in each courtyard."
Linglong smiled but did not explain that it was an independent courtyard.
I didn’t finish reading the information yesterday, so Linglong continued studying it today.
She also discovered that her unit seemed to be quite quiet.
When she went to have lunch with her colleagues, she asked about it.
Everyone laughed.
"It would be strange if our unit wasn't busy. Or maybe the situation has improved in the past few days. Even before, so many things have been labeled feudal and ignorant, destroyed or demolished. Our unit has no place to fight."
Others also sighed.
In these two days, they are rarely busy and are generally in a very leisurely state. They spend part of their time working and the rest of their time drinking tea, reading newspapers and chatting.
It was because Linglong, the newcomer, had just arrived, and several senior employees wanted to leave a good impression on her, so they became more serious and watched her work all day.
In fact, most of the time, we are just pretending and doing things secretly.
Linglong is not a workaholic who insists on keeping herself busy. She does not want to make any moral high ground judgment on others' slacking off. She just finally realized the situation of her unit.
Having more free time has its advantages. She will have the energy to care about her side business.
