Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

"Huff, huff..." Zhang Na, the bullied woman, sobbed with tears in her eyes. With trembling hands, she took out a handkerchief bag from her pocket and wanted to take out money.

“Ouch…”

"If it really doesn't work, I'll give you half of the 500 yuan, and you can just not report me, okay..."

……

After being threatened and lured by Wang Hongtao, Zhang Na finally told him everything.

Zhang Na, female, was born in Pingguo Commune in the suburbs of Sijiucheng City. She just graduated from high school this year. Because of her good grades, a classmate took the initiative to find her and asked her to take the exam in her place. The reward was 500 yuan plus the job in the steel rolling mill.

Zhang Na's family was a typical patriarchal family at that time. She had an older brother and a younger brother, and she was the second child. Her older and younger brothers were both illiterate and worked in the fields to make a living.

The family originally planned to let her find a job after graduation, and then give the job to her younger brother after she settled down. After all, she would be an outsider after marriage.

After she gets married, she can use the betrothal gift to find a wife for her brother, and this way the problem of two male heirs in the Zhang family will be solved.

The plan was very good. Zhang's father also agreed with the commune that if his daughter came to get a letter of introduction, he would not give her one, so she would not be able to find a job.

Originally everything was arranged well, and Zhang Na couldn't get out of this circle. However, man proposes, God disposes, and Zhang Na unexpectedly ran into an unexpected disaster.

Others have jobs but don't want them and want to go to college; Zhang Na has the ability to get into college but can't and wants to escape from home.

So the two sides hit it off and each got what they wanted.

In this way, Zhang Na stole the household registration book and went straight to work at the steel rolling mill. Her family members in her hometown didn’t even know where she was.

In that era without the Internet and data interoperability, it was almost impossible for the Zhang father and son to find the hiding Zhang Na.

……

After listening to Zhang Na's accusation, Wang Hongtao temporarily gave up the idea of ​​bullying her.

"So you cover your face because you don't want your family to find you, right?"

Zhang Na nodded aggrievedly: "If my family knew that I was hiding here, they would definitely catch me and transfer my job to my younger brother, and then let me marry someone in the village so that my brother can find a wife."

"Boss, I'll give you all my money, so please don't betray me, okay?"

"Oh... I'll be finished if I get caught and taken back! I don't want to go back..." Seeing that Wang Hongtao didn't agree, Zhang Na simply stuffed the entire handkerchief bag into Wang Hongtao's hands, and then looked at her pitifully for fear that he would not accept it.

Wang Hongtao grabbed the handkerchief and put it back into Zhang Na's hand, then wrapped her hand again: "You earned this money by yourself, I don't want it."

"Also, I will keep your secret for you. Just do your best when you are here with me. I will ensure that you will be fine!"

"Really?" The little thing was skeptical.

Wang Hongtao was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch her face: "Tell me what you have that is worth me lying to you now, huh?"

"How dare you refuse to give it to me when I ask you for it?"

"Ouch! It hurts!"

The bullied man struggled for a while and then stopped, saying with a little excitement:

"It seems that what you said is true, leader. You know all my secrets. Even if you really want to bully me, I won't dare to run away."

"You realize it now? You're so stupid... I really don't understand how you lived to this age without being cheated by anyone!" Wang Hongtao said unhappily.

"I'm not stupid! My grades are the best in our school!" Zhang Na retorted in a low voice.

"You're not stupid. If you're not stupid, why did you tell me all the secrets? Aren't you afraid that I will use this to threaten you?"

"That's...that's because you are my leader, and I think you are a good person and will not bully me."

Zhang Na spoke more and more quietly, because by the end she couldn't even believe what she was saying.

Wang Hongtao obviously noticed her anxiety and smiled: "Although I am not a good person, I won't use this to threaten you."

"Also, Zhang Na, remember this: a bad guy who seems to be a good person is more dangerous than a bad guy who looks bad at first glance."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao patted Zhang Na on the shoulder and walked out carefree.

After taking a walk outside, Wang Hongtao came back with a bag of eggs in his hand. He returned to the office area of ​​the Labor and Personnel Department and divided the eggs among two clerks and four staff members.

When it was finally delivered to Section Chief Wu, there were eight eggs. He calmly stuffed in a few high-end candy tickets, which were given to him by Director Li years ago.

As the head of the Labor and Personnel Department, Wu Luyang naturally would not be short of these eggs and tickets, but having them is one thing, and whether you understand the rules is another. This is a matter of attitude.

"Why are you doing this to me, Xiao Wang? Isn't this making me violate the discipline?" Wu Luyang complained with a smile.

"Where did Chief Wu go? I just got some local specialties as a welcome gift for me on my first day at the Labor and Personnel Department. Other colleagues also got some, but it's not enough to violate discipline!" Wang Hongtao said perfunctorily.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

"But this is just this time, it won't happen again!" Wu Luyang skillfully put the things away and put them in the drawer.

"Chief Wu is right. I won't send you next time." Wang Hongtao replied nonchalantly. This won't happen again? Anyone who believes this is a fool!

After a few casual conversations, Wang Hongtao left the section chief's office and prepared to return to his own office to wait until the end of get off work.

When he returned to the office, the bullied guy had already boiled some water and started cleaning the office. Wang Hongtao nodded with satisfaction.

To be an assistant, you have to act like an assistant. You have to be busy and even if there is really nothing to do, you have to pretend to be busy.

With nothing to do, Wang Hongtao took out Huang Yishan's previous work notes and manuscript documents and looked at them to familiarize himself with the work.

But he stopped looking at it after just a while because he felt it was useless.

The main job of the Labor and Personnel Department is easy to handle and anyone can do it, but the difficult part is dealing with human relationships.

Does Huang Yishan have any similarities with me in terms of social skills? They are completely different, right?

Then I'll watch a bird!

There was still some time before the end of the get off work day, so Wang Hongtao went back to his original transportation class and chatted with his former veteran driver colleagues for a while.

These old drivers are still the same as before, dealing with things as they should, without changing their attitude at all because of Wang Hongtao's promotion. This is what Wang Hongtao likes to see.

Finally, it was time to get off work. Wang Hongtao and other colleagues from the Labor and Personnel Department didn't leave until most of them had left.

When I went down the stairs, I saw Xu Damao waiting for me at the stairs, pushing his bicycle.

Seeing Wang Hongtao coming down, Xu Damao greeted him with a smile: "Brother, this is amazing!"

"Deputy Section Chief, and from the Labor and Personnel Section! This is a real leader."

"Our future promotion and wealth depend on you, brother, right?!"

Wang Hongtao waved his hand and said modestly: "Brother Damao, you are joking. What's the point of being a leader? I am just serving the people!"

"They say there is no distinction between high and low jobs, just different divisions of labor. Brother Damao, you don't have the right awareness!"

Xu Damao snorted coldly and said unhappily: "It's easy for you to say that, but why am I not so lucky? How about we switch?"

"No problem, Brother Damao, you can go and raise it with Secretary Nie. As long as Secretary Nie nods, I will definitely have no objection!" Wang Hongtao said indifferently.

"You just want to piss me off!" Xu Damao angrily said, "You're still looking for Secretary Nie? Does Secretary Nie know who I am?"

"Hey, now that you are the head of the Labor and Personnel Department, can you give me a promotion? I don't ask for much, I'll be satisfied with being an officer, at least you can help me get promoted two levels."

"We have such a good relationship, you should at least help me with this little thing, right?"

Wang Hongtao felt a little unhappy when he heard Xu Damao's matter-of-fact tone.

Really, it is you, Xu Damao, who said this. If it were someone else, he would definitely not be so good-tempered.

Xu Damao receives a salary of 25 yuan, so he is at most level 26 or 21 now, while the starting level for clerks is . Does he really think that the Labor and Personnel Department is his family's?

But then I thought, Xu Damao's current income is indeed a bit low, only 35.5 yuan. How is he going to raise his children in the future?
