Chapter 1 Divorce? This is a good thing!
At 8:30 in the morning, Ma Yingjie walked into the gate of a central government agency on time and greeted the guard, "Uncle Qin, what's the cafeteria doing today?"
"Steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding. Today's steamed buns are pretty good, with beef filling. If you go now, you can eat some freshly-cooked ones!"
"Wow, Auntie Wang's skill in making dumplings is really amazing!"
Ma Yingjie walked quickly into the restaurant. The food standards of the cafeteria were posted on the opposite wall. Eggs, steamed buns, and tofu pudding were 20 cents, meat dishes were 80 cents, and vegetarian dishes were 20 cents. Two yuan was enough for a grown man to eat a lot, and he could still eat very healthily, with meat and vegetables, milk and fruit.
The salary level in the central government agencies is average, and Lu Hao only makes about 10,000 yuan a month. But being a civil servant cannot just focus on the salary. Let’s not talk about other things, just take the food for example, where can you find such a good thing outside?
Breakfast is two yuan, lunch is eight yuan, and dinner is six yuan. If you eat three meals a day in the cafeteria, you only need to pay five yuan (one yuan for breakfast, two yuan each for lunch and dinner), and the remaining eleven yuan will be subsidized directly by the company.
And there is no need to worry about food safety issues at all. The ingredients here are supplied by special channels and absolutely meet the requirements of green food.
If you eat out for three meals of the same quality, it will cost at least more than one hundred yuan. Just for this item, Ma Yingjie can save several thousand yuan every month.
He ordered two beef buns, one tofu and vermicelli bun, a bowl of porridge, and three side dishes, one meat and two vegetables. After enjoying them happily, he took a box of milk and some plums, and staggered back to the office.
When I went in, I saw that the desk opposite was empty.
Huh? It's already this late, why hasn't Shen Lei come yet? Lu Hao was too lazy to worry about it, so he put the milk and plums on the table, pressed the power button, and squinted his eyes comfortably. After being a social animal for many years, he suddenly encountered such a comfortable life, so he should enjoy it well? How did a social animal suddenly become a civil servant in the central government? The reason is very simple. He was lucky enough to be selected by the system. The system did not issue any tasks, nor did it have any punishment such as erasure. It only gave him a chance to walk in the world of the heavens. He could do whatever he wanted in the new world, and he would have a chance to draw a lottery at the end of each world.
He is now in the first world, and the system has assigned him the identity of a civil servant in a central government agency.
He graduated with a Ph.D. from a 985 university at the age of 28 and successfully passed the civil service exam. He was promoted on time in central government agencies, became a regular employee in one year, was promoted to a first-level chief clerk two years later, and was promoted to a first-level chief clerk four times in two years. Now he is only 33 years old, and he is already a deputy division-level cadre. If he has the opportunity to be transferred to another place, he can directly become a deputy county magistrate.
However, Ma Yingjie didn't think about being transferred to another position for the time being. Firstly, except for a few key departments in this unit, most people only had ranks but no power. How could they feel comfortable in their local areas? Therefore, many people wanted to be transferred to another position, but he might not be able to get such a good thing.
Secondly, he had been a social animal for many years and was exhausted. Now that he had a chance to take a break, shouldn't he take it easy? Now that he had a stable and respectable job, savings, and no need to worry about the future, he could just spend a few days comfortably.
"Director Lu, good morning!" He was just thinking about where to go for the weekend when Shen Lei, who worked in the same office with him, came in.
"Good morning! Hey, Xiao Shen, what's wrong with you today? You look a little haggard!" Lu Hao looked up and saw that Shen Lei looked haggard, with untidy beard and bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he had encountered something bad.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Shen Lei opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
Looking at his expression, Ma Yingjie had already guessed what was going on. He probably thought that the plot had developed to the point where his wife Xie Meilan was going to divorce him. Ever since he found out that his office colleague was called Shen Lei, Ma Yingjie knew that he had entered the world of the TV series "Song of a Mortal".
Shen Lei is one of the protagonists of the film. He and his wife Xie Meilan were college classmates. After graduation, one of them passed the civil service exam and the other joined a financial company. The situation was fine in the past few years. The couple lived in harmony and their life was plain but warm.
But slowly, Xie Meilan's thoughts changed. First, her mother got cancer and consumed all her savings, and then she became pregnant again. Thinking of the expenses after the birth of the child, Xie Meilan began to dislike Shen Lei for being useless and unable to make a lot of money. She decided to divorce him and run into the arms of her superiors at the company. Shen Lei could not bear the blow, so he gave up this enviable job and ran away to live in seclusion in the mountains.
Why bother? Is it necessary to do this for a woman who has changed her mind? Ma Yingjie secretly shook his head in his heart.
Well, after all, they are colleagues in the office, so he should help them if he can. He stood up and walked to Shen Lei, handing him the milk. "Looking at you, you must have not had breakfast. Drink some milk first!"
"Director Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you again!" Shen Lei hesitated a little, but finally took it.
Ma Yingjie walked over and closed the door, then turned around and sat opposite Shen Lei. He patted his shoulder and said, "We have been in the same office for so many years. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
"Looking at you like this, it shouldn't be a work matter? What happened at home? I'm two years older than you, and I have a little more life experience than you. Maybe I can give you some advice!"
Shen Lei thought about how Ma Yingjie really took good care of him after he joined the company, and he also had a strong desire to talk, so he couldn't help but said, "It's my wife, my wife wants to divorce me!"
"It may be because of the death of my mother-in-law. I don't think I have done anything wrong. I gave her all the family savings and I didn't complain. But since my mother-in-law passed away, Meilan has become more and more indifferent to me."
"She thinks I'm not ambitious and can't make money."
"She scolded me for being a good-for-nothing even though I was already 30 years old and wanted my wife and I to rent a 40-square-meter studio, ride an e-donkey and a shared bike, and earn 8,000 yuan a month. My total savings were only 200,000 yuan. I was just a loser."
"So she dared to get pregnant? Isn't it a sin to have a child born in a rented house? She said she couldn't raise a child in a rented house, so she aborted the child!"
"I also discovered." Shen Lei paused for a moment before continuing, "Last night, she suddenly said she wanted to divorce me."
Even though he didn't say it, Ma Yingjie knew that Shen Lei must have discovered the improper relationship between his wife Xie Meilan and his boss Lu Jie, and then a conflict broke out. However, this matter was a bit embarrassing after all, and it was not easy to tell outsiders, so he didn't continue to talk about it.
After saying that, Shen Lei looked at Lu Hao eagerly, hoping to get some comfort from him, such as how he should win back Xie Meilan.
Unexpectedly, when Ma Yingjie opened his mouth, what he said was completely beyond his expectations.
"Divorce? That's a good thing!"
