Chapter 91
Qiao Wei did not find Secretary Meng.
"Today is the regular meeting of the Standing Committee." Secretary Huang said, "Give me the manuscript, and I will give it to the secretary when he comes back."
Qiao Wei handed it over: "Thank you."
Secretary Huang is a very young man, probably about the same age as Yan Lei. He wears glasses, is gentle and speaks kindly.
Qiao Wei was seconded here, and she had a good impression of him after dealing with him several times.
But Qiao Wei had seen the subtlety of human hearts in her previous life, and she had learned the atmosphere of government agencies in the past two days. She became more cautious and said with a smile: "I will come again at noon to ask the secretary if there is anything to revise."
Secretary Huang's expression did not change, and he smiled: "Okay."
He watched Qiao Wei leave.
This girl is very beautiful. But her vigor even overshadowed her beauty, and the feeling of sunshine and brilliance came first and swept over his face. Then he noticed that she was beautiful. She was
very thoughtful. One sentence blocked the loopholes and left no room for people to drill. It might not be directed at him, but if people couldn't drill holes, it would be good for you, me, and everyone else.
Secretary Huang turned the pen in a circle between his slender fingers and unfolded Qiao Wei's manuscript to read.
The first impression was that the handwriting was good, but not as good as his.
But after reading it, he still showed a look of admiration in his eyes.
Secretary Meng came back from the meeting, and Secretary Huang went into the office to listen to instructions.
After Secretary Meng finished his instructions, he did not delay and handed over Qiao Wei's manuscript: "Qiao Wei, who was seconded from Xiahekou Town."
"Young comrade, you are very efficient." Secretary Meng took it with a smile.
When Secretary Huang walked out and closed the door, he took a look and saw that Secretary Meng had already opened the manuscript and was reading it.
He closed the door.
Qiao Wei returned to the Propaganda Department Office from the Town Committee Office. As soon as she sat down, a female colleague came over.
The man spoke in an unexpectedly friendly way: "Qiao Wei, do you have any work on hand now?"
Others were polite, and Qiao Wei was also polite: "No, is there anything you want me to do?"
"Then you can carve this wax paper. Carve it according to this sample."
"Okay." Qiao Wei usually confirms the deadline before accepting a job, "When do you need this?" "
Before work ends."
"Okay."
The man turned around and was about to leave, but Qiao Wei stopped him: "Wait a minute."
"I have never carved before, please teach me first."
"Hey, aren't you from the Xiahekou Publicity Department?"
"I'm just a broadcaster." And I have only been working for more than a month.
"Okay."
The man first carved a line of words for her as an example. It was a very simple thing, and she learned it in a short time.
Qiao Wei was quite happy while carving, after all, it was something she had never played with before. Last time in the town propaganda department, she just played with roller mimeograph.
She kept looking at the watch. At 10:50, she wiped her hands and went to the county party committee office again. She went directly to find Secretary Huang first.
When she got to that station, Secretary Huang spoke without her saying anything: "The secretary has read it."
He took out her manuscript and smiled, "It's well written. There's nothing to change. For this one, the secretary said to send it to the city later. Try to publish it on the 27th or 28th."
There were red-pen comments from the secretary on the manuscript, just as Secretary Huang said.
And the manuscript was also neatly clipped in a folder, together with several other documents with the same comments.
That's it. The first task that Secretary Meng assigned to her was completed smoothly.
The rest was Secretary Huang's business. It was not in her hands, so it had nothing to do with her and she was not responsible.
"Then I'll go back." Qiao Wei felt relieved.
"Wait a minute." Secretary Huang picked up a folder, "Please organize this meeting minutes and copy it into this record sheet. Give it to me before 2 pm."
Secretary Huang is more efficient than the people in the department. While explaining the work clearly, he also explained the submission time, unlike the people in the department who had to wait for Qiao Wei to ask.
Qiao Wei likes this clean and neat work style.
There is also a job of wax paper engraving. But she has completed part of it and is becoming more and more proficient. She can basically estimate the time required to complete it.
That one is required before leaving work, and this one is required at two o'clock. Qiao Wei flipped through it, quickly scanned the amount of content, and estimated that there was no problem.
"Okay."
Back in the department office, she moved the wax paper away and started with the meeting minutes. The time for submitting this required work is still in front of the wax paper, so it needs to be done first.
After working on it for a while, someone else came over and said, "Qiao Wei, do this."
Qiao Wei took a look and asked, "When do you need this?"
The man said, "Give it to me before work ends."
"That won't work." Qiao Wei said, "I have two jobs on hand now. You see, both of them are required today. I definitely don't have time to do yours before work ends. You can find someone else to do it."
"You can find someone else to do it" was said with confidence, without any of the usual compromise and hard-working awareness of other seconded personnel.
But Section Chief Zhou had already spoken, and no one was allowed to blow the wind.
The man continued to change his tone in a friendly tone: "Then, give it to me tomorrow."
"Before work ends tomorrow?" Qiao Wei asked.
If it was, then there was no need to tell people today that it had to be completed before work ends. The man paused and said, "Before noon tomorrow."
He wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qiao Wei, "Sorry, I haven't remembered everyone's name yet."
"Wu Aizhen," she said, "My name is Wu Aizhen."
Qiao Wei actually remembered this Wu Aizhen. She was not so nice to her yesterday. Speaking of which, after she went to the town committee office today, the atmosphere in the room was indeed much better towards her. It seemed that everyone spoke politely and was not so weird.
But this did not prevent Qiao Wei from doing things meticulously.
"Wu, Ai, Zhen, today is September 21st, and the time now is..." Qiao Wei looked up at the clock on the wall, "Oh, it's not even 11:30. The specific work is..., and the required time is before noon on the 22nd."
"Comrade Wu, please sign."
Qiao Wei smiled and pushed her notebook over.
The time, work, person in charge, and deadline were all clearly written. Sign again. It's not enough to just say it, but it's enough to sign it.
Wu Aizhen is obviously much less sophisticated than Secretary Huang. Qiao Wei has never seen any emotional fluctuations on Secretary Huang's face. At such a young age, he has the skill of an old cadre who can hide his emotions. No wonder he can be someone close to the top leader.
Wu Aizhen can't do that.
When Qiao Wei pushed the notebook over, the changes in her facial expression were quite interesting.
"No need, it's just a small matter." She said, "Is it that serious?" "
We, the people in the lower-level units, treat every task assigned by the higher-level units so seriously, regardless of whether it is a big or small task." Qiao Wei smiled very kindly, "Sign it."
Wu Aizhen signed her name reluctantly.
This way, she can't deny it if something happens. She can't point at her nose and say "I clearly told you to finish it today, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Wei took the job.
It was good. After that, no one came to her with work and said "Give it to me before leaving work."
Qiao Wei did her work quietly.
First, she copied the minutes of the meeting, and then continued to carve wax paper.
At 1:50, she stood up and delivered the minutes of the meeting to Secretary Huang.
Secretary Huang opened it and took a look. He found nothing unsatisfactory and did not assign more tasks to Qiao Wei. He just nodded and said, "Nothing to do here."
Qiao Wei went back to the department to continue carving wax paper. She finished carving the wax paper at around three o'clock, and handed the wax paper to the person who assigned the work. She
came back and started to work on the third job in an orderly manner.
Four o'clock was Qiao Wei's time to get off work.
She put the unfinished things in the drawer and locked it. She
brought the lock from home today. The drawer of the table originally had a nose lock, so a lock would be enough. She
put the key in her bag.
Qiao Wei put on her bag and walked to someone else's table: "Wu Aizhen."
Wu Aizhen raised her head and blinked.
"I'm leaving now. I haven't finished it yet. I'll give it to you before noon tomorrow." Qiao Wei said with a smile.
It was as if the coldness and exclusion from the last two days of last week had never happened.
Don't hit a smiling person.
Wu Aizhen didn't have such a strong heart to be cold and stern to someone who smiled at her. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Oh, okay. Oh...bye." "
See you tomorrow."
"Oh...see you tomorrow."
Qiao Wei went to say hello to Section Chief Zhou again, got permission, and left work.
After she left, others leaned over and said to Wu Aizhen, "Why are you still so nice to her?" Why
didn't you just stop bullying her with words? Why did you still say that?
Wu Aizhen was speechless for a moment, a little angry and embarrassed: "I can't be impolite when others are polite."
Section Chief Zhou took a sip of tea: "That's right. Little Wu is right."
The section chief spoke, and the man stopped talking. But in his heart, he felt that Wu Aizhen was useless. Obviously, everyone reached a tacit understanding to treat Qiao Wei with a fake smile and politely assigned her a lot of work... In the end, the "a lot of work" was not assigned, and Wu Aizhen rebelled.
Huh.
The weather is so good today. The sunshine is especially good.
Qiao Wei did not go home directly, but took Yan Xiang to the department store to buy seasonal clothes.
The only child does not have many old clothes from his brothers and sisters to wear. Dad can make money and tickets to provide a comfortable life. There are few people in the family, and the tickets are endless. The original owner never bought clothes in a certain size for Yan Xiang, only one size larger at most.
When the seasons change, she has to buy new clothes for Yan Xiang.
Qiao Wei actually wanted to buy comfortable sportswear or casual clothes for Yan Xiang.
But the children's clothing of this era is amazing, mainly shirts. If you wear it carefully, you will really look like a miniature old cadre.
The characteristics of the era are particularly distinct.
Generally, after November in the north, the temperature will draw a downward slash. It is not as convenient to buy things here as in later generations, and everything that needs to be prepared must be prepared in advance.
Qiao Wei bought tops, pants, and autumn clothes and pants for Yan Xiang. She also bought wool.
She saw it at noon today. Although no one was knitting in the department during working hours, some people were knitting during the lunch break.
And it might be because it was close to a major holiday and the workload of the publicity department was relatively heavy, so no one was knitting. Because when she went out, she saw people knitting during working hours in other departments.
She was going to knit, too. She had learned from Hu Sui. Although she could only knit plain stitches, she was confident that she could knit a complete sweater.
As long as she had a healthy body, nothing could stump her.
"Xiangxiang, can you hold it?" Qiao Wei asked Yan Xiang worriedly.
Yan Xiang sat in the back seat with his arms open. All the things he bought were stuffed into the net bag, and he held it tightly in his arms.
"No problem!" he answered loudly.
Qiao Wei now loves net bags very much.
This thing is amazing. It is so small, but when it is stretched out, it has a very strong capacity.
"Then you hold it tight. I'm going to ride a bike."
Yan Xiang rested his chin on the soft wool: "Let's go~"
[The weather was particularly good that day, and I was immersed in the joy of having new clothes to wear. I was afraid that the new clothes and new fabrics would fall off, so I held the bulging net bag tightly all the way. The wool made my chin itchy, so I rubbed it on the rope of the net bag to relieve the itch. ]
[After coming to the county town with my mother, I began to have my own social circle. ]
[Children may not be able to accurately describe various emotions such as envy, love, jealousy, and disgust, but they can indeed feel them clearly in their hearts. From the emotional feedback from people around me, I began to realize that my parents had given me a better life than many others. 】
【Compared to the children running around and snotting in the homes of their father’s comrades, the children in the county town are very different. I think these subtle differences may be the reason why city people are always superior. But as a child from a small town who came to the county town, I have never had any negative feelings such as timidity or inferiority, and I have never had the awe that people from small places should have when they go to big places. 】
【On the contrary, I clearly know that the children in the county town are not as good as me. Most of them know nothing. Some people can recite Tang poems, but they can only recite a part of what I can recite, a very small part. 】 【A
teacher said that Yan Xiang is more "city" than the city children. The teacher guessed that my mother might be from Beijing. 】
【I know she is not, but I won’t say it. 】
