Chapter 347 The word "forbearance" has never changed since ancient times
After hanging up the phone, I thought, if I don't help Baibai when something happens, who will? Speaking of which, I'm not from Wuxiang, but the only people who came from Wuxiang to Shangzhou are Brother Shi, Lao Xiao, and Baibai.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
After he understood what was going on, I poured him a cup of tea.
"Brother Ming, I used to call you Director Ming, Director Ming, but now I don't know what to call you. Do you think it's an honor to be able to attract three women in a cabaret?"
His face turned red and then white.
"The provincial department has a huge pool, and it's rare to show your talents. You can't give up just because you haven't been promoted. Think about how hard you worked to advance to the position of director."
Mingbai gave an awkward smile and said, "There's no hope for me to do this. I used to be a regular officer, but after coming here, no matter how hard I try, no one will pay attention to me.
Last time, the department wanted to promote a deputy director, and I had the qualifications, but they chose to place a section chief from the office in our department as deputy director."
"You have to learn the word 'patience'. Wasn't Mr. Shen eliminated in the first round? He endured. In the end, he got what he wanted. If you don't even have this much patience, how can you survive in such a big organization?"
I wrote the word "忍" on the paper.
Pointing at it, he said, "This word has never changed from ancient times to the present day. From the time it was first invented until now, it has always been like a knife standing on the heart."
Ming Bai smiled bitterly again: "Okay, I'll pay attention next time. They are not the women who sing backing songs in the dance hall, they just work in the dance hall."
"What are you doing?"
"I sell liquor. I sell white liquor, red wine, and beer. I met Xiao Su when I went to sing a song one time and got her number. I work in the logistics department, in charge of purchasing. Later, when the restaurant needed liquor, I did some business with her."
I said, "These people, I wouldn't say they are in the entertainment industry, but they are quasi-industry people. You know, comrades would never take care of anyone, but they would take care of Xiao Su. Isn't it because Xiao Su is pretty?
She was just showing off her looks, so she didn't lose anything, but you're being criticized. Who's the one who's losing out? Brother, I don't want to beat around the bush."
Mingbai widened his eyes and asked, "Who is talking about me behind my back?"
I said, "No one will say anything to you. There are only one or two people who care about you. Think about it yourself."
Bai Ming's forehead was sweating, and he asked, "Chen... Hall?"
Now that it has come to this, I don't need to hide it deliberately: "Yes, Mr. Chen asked me to remind you. Because, if you are good, Mr. Chen is good, and if you are not good, Mr. Chen will not have a good life either. When you first came into the hall, he spoke for you."
Mingbai said: "I never thought some people would stir up trouble. Xiao Su and I are indeed innocent."
I burst out laughing. "Brother Ming, now that you're in the provincial capital, how come your struggle level is still stuck at the prefectural or city level? They even dare to frame you, let alone you have any clues to hide behind?
Let me help you analyze it. He's got more information than you do. He knows your department is going to appoint a deputy director, and you're one of his competitors. He's been eyeing you for a long time.
So you bought a batch of wine from your sister Su. That's normal. Everyone can take care of their acquaintances and friends. Then people discovered that your sister Su was in the store during the day and in the bar at night.
Sister Su often sits in your car. From Sister Su to Sister Liu to Sister Yin, you are becoming more and more like a locomotive, pulling more and more carriages.
They're not pigs, they can figure it out with their butts. You're alone in the provincial capital, with three people behind you. You say it's okay, but as soon as they cite this example, the leader hesitates.
Every leader fears being smeared by their subordinates. You say you're fine, but what if something does happen? Eunuchs used to be circumcised, thinking they'd no longer have any needs, but they ended up having affairs with palace maids. Who can guarantee that a middle-aged man like you won't get into trouble?
As long as someone was gossiping behind someone's back, even if the leader was about to circle the paper, he would pick up his pen. "Brother, I was too frank, don't bear a grudge against me."
It's better to understand this. Let me talk without saying anything back. After I finished speaking, I said, "Teacher Wan, I really didn't expect people's hearts to be so complicated."
I smiled and said, "There was a saying in the past: 'What is more vast than the sky is the soul.' I'll change it to: 'What is more obscure than the night is the human heart.'"
The biggest issue these days is relationships between men and women, whether true or false, seemingly plausible. If they slap a label like "unfounded," you're basically screwed. Wasn't that what happened with your Shen Hall? Fortunately, he handled it calmly, so there wasn't any chaos.
"I think, I'm not at that level yet, people won't pay attention to me."
"People are fighting over the big bones, but the small bones, even the broken bones, are still fought over fiercely."
I understand and get anxious, so I ask, "What should we do next?"
"The next step is to distance yourself from her. You're not buying wine from her anymore anyway. After a while, she'll know her limits and stop coming to you."
Silence, silence for a long time.
I asked, "How's your sister-in-law's transfer going? What unit is she in?"
"It's really difficult to transfer her. She used to be a teacher. When I was deputy director, I used some connections to transfer her to the Transportation Management Bureau."
"oh."
The two fell silent again.
I realized that it was pointless to sit there any longer, so I stood up and said goodbye.
After sending Mingbai away, I called Mr. Shen and said, "I've figured out what happened. Mingbai has a distant relative, maybe his cousin, who works in a karaoke bar. I've approached him a few times about something, and he said he'll pay more attention next time."
Shen Ting said, "That's good."
Just as I was about to go home, Shi Ting called and said, "Teacher Wan, I heard you quietly left the country and quietly returned. When can I host a reception for you? Don't blame me for hosting you two months later. I really only found out yesterday."
I grabbed an ice cream cone and said, "Shi Ting is treating us, I'll definitely come."
He took a turn and said, "Why not go to Yishu's hotel this Saturday night?"
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, I called Mingbai again.
After a long while, he said, "Teacher Wan, is there anything else?"
I said, "This Saturday, someone is treating me to a meal, and you pay the bill." Then I introduced Shi Ting.
He said happily, "That's great."
I explained to him in detail how he should act.
He said, "Okay, everything is up to you."
After hanging up the phone, I thought, "Sir, I think you can do this. Luckily, I didn't take his money. He owes me a favor."
It was still early, around 8 p.m., so I went downstairs and walked along the Shangjiang embankment toward home. Yu Shuichun called and asked me to go to Weijia Village tomorrow to check out the feng shui of the health and wellness center.
After agreeing, I called Tian Dehan and asked him to have lunch at Secretary Wei’s house at noon and to see Secretary Zheng’s “winter bamboo shoot detector”.
