"Huang Zhen, this is your briefcase." Yun Shu looked calm as he handed over the briefcase he had just taken from Jing Ling.
As the saying goes, appearance reflects the mind. Some people have a face that looks good, but they always give people a bad feeling. There is also a saying that birds of a feather flock together. And most of the people in front of me are like this. I don't know how long they had been drinking, but the small private room was filled with the smell of alcohol. Everyone's face was flushed and their voices unconsciously rose a few octaves. It was clearly a normal conversation, but it sounded like an argument.
"Yunshu is here!" Huang Zhen was sitting in the middle, with two strangers on his left and right, and the town's deputy next to him. When office colleagues were having dinner outside together before, Director Luo talked to a few new girls about official reception matters. When there is a reception, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the person. Just see where the leader is and those sitting on his left and right are the important people. Serving tea and rice, following this line of thinking, is generally not wrong. Yunshu was there at the time. When she returned to the office afterwards, Director Luo privately reminded her that if it was not a normal office hour, she should try not to go out alone with several leaders. Lu Jiajia, who is in charge of human affairs, also told her this. Because I have been working with them for more than half a year, especially in the office where I have the most contact with these leaders, I basically know what is going on.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Liu of Ansheng Cement!" He waved to Yunshu, and then said to him, "Director Liu, this is Tan Yunshu, a new employee in our office this year. How about us? Our Chashan is a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Yunshu graduated from Imperial Capital University, and he also came here!" He must have drunk a lot, and his words were a little unclear.
Others followed suit.
Yunshu looked up and saw the middle-aged man sitting next to him, with a half-bald face and a beer belly, looking at her unscrupulously.
"She's so beautiful!"
Huang Zhen said again, "Come, let's toast to Director Liu!" As he spoke, he handed the wine glass on the table to Yun Shu. When he saw the briefcase in Yunshu's hand, he seemed to have just remembered this matter and took it and hung it on the chair.
"I'm sorry Huang Zhen, I'm allergic to alcohol and can't drink." Yun Shu took a step back, "If everything is ok, I'll go back to duty first."
"I wonder why you are so ignorant, little girl!" Huang Zhen glared and frowned, "I asked you to have a drink, it's basic courtesy, what excuses are you making to refuse! What's wrong with being allergic to alcohol? Drinking a glass won't kill you! Come here!"
Yunshu looked at the wine bottle on the table, then looked at him, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Excuse me, Huang Zhen, is this a public or private matter?"
Director Liu also laughed, but it was unclear whether he was mocking Huang Zhen for not having enough authority to control his subordinates, or simply saying that Yun Shu was disobedient, "The little girl has a very stubborn temper. She doesn't even listen to the leader!"
Huang Zhen's eyes nearly burst into flames when he heard this, "Why, what's the difference between official business and private matters? I asked you to drink a glass of wine, and you have to consider the occasion?!"
The smiles on the other people's faces also disappeared, and the looks they gave him were unclear whether they were condemnation or ridicule.
Yun Shu was not afraid at all, and continued to smile and said, "This wine is from the storage room. If it is a business reception, according to the documents issued by the state this year, it is obviously beyond the specifications. If it is a private party, it is not appropriate to use public things, right?"
Last year, a new leader came to power and began to rectify discipline and build a clean government. Although a number of people were arrested to serve as a warning to others, which had a certain deterrent effect, it was limited after all. The three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. Grassroots management has always been chaotic and loose, and it is impossible to put it in place in a short period of time. It is destined to be a long process.
The relevant documents are passed down from top to bottom layer by layer, and finally printed and distributed to every office so that everyone can see them. But everyone has already tacitly accepted that this is just a formality. Even if someone is dissatisfied, they will at most think about it in their heart, or complain a few words to close friends. No one will ever bring it up openly.
So no one present expected Yun Shu to say such a thing, and they could hardly hide their surprise on their faces.
After a few seconds, Huang Zhen recovered. He stood up from his seat, pointed at Yun Shu and shouted, "What? Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're a formal employee?!" He looked angry and his face was red, as if he was about to hit someone.
Others quickly pulled him back and advised, "Huang Zhen, keep your voice down!" There were many people in the grilled fish restaurant, and who knew if someone with ulterior motives might hear it. Although they pretend to obey and do not take the documents from above seriously, if someone goes to sue them, who knows if the higher-ups will use you as a sacrifice?
Another deputy said to Yunshu, "It's just a small matter, what good will it do you to make a big deal about it? Young people should not be too impulsive. This society is not just about black and white. You will understand it when you graduate from school. Although it is said that working here is a stable job, there are many people who have lost their jobs." It sounded like a teaching, but in fact it was just a warning.
The more remote the place, the more people there are who rush to grab these one or two positions every year, all for the sake of stability. They probably thought Yunshu was such a person as well.
But she is not.
"Huang Zhen, have you forgotten my job? Although I have only taken over the company's accounting for a short time, I took the time to check the old accounts and found something interesting. Your driver signed an IOU for 40,000 yuan. He left a few months ago, but his salary has been paid until now. Did you know that? And Zhao Zhen, the company's salary payment must be signed by you every time, right?"
She spoke in a low voice, but just loud enough for those around the table to hear.
If looks could kill, Yun Shu would have been cut into pieces by now.
After a long silence, Huang Zhen pointed to the door and said, "Go back to duty!"
Yunshu still smiled, "Leaders, please enjoy yourself. I'm going to go back first." After she said that, she turned around and walked out the door.
"What the fuck!" Huang Zhen swung his hand and accidentally dropped the wine glass on the table onto the ground, breaking it into pieces. He shook his hand off in pain, and inadvertently looked towards the door, and was immediately startled.
There was a person standing by the door. Their eyes met, and after a few seconds the other person took two steps forward and stopped exactly at the junction of light and darkness. He has a tall and straight figure, dressed casually, wearing black-framed glasses, and has a half-smile on his face.
"Servants of the people, serving the people?"
"Outstanding people come here because they have something shameful to do? Is this how you understand the policy of selecting outstanding students to work at the grassroots level?"
"Then what are you?"
"I keep emphasizing that we should keep up with the times and take a long-term view, but why can't I do it myself? Just because I am useless, do I think the world is full of mediocrity and incompetence?"
"Rubbish!"
The group of people in the room just listened to the stranger's scolding and questioning. He summed it up with two words and walked away.
