Xu Xinqun, the head of the mass arts department of the Hanping County Cultural Bureau, is a little depressed these days. The director Wang Zhuo has talked to him several times and warned him that if he cannot complete the investment promotion task assigned to him by the bureau, he must not be like Promoted to Deputy Director as expected, even the current post of Chief will be lost. At that time, he may be assigned to the group art hall below to be an administrator, which is the position with the worst treatment and the most troublesome job.

Ge Laozi, it is clear that Wang Zhuo is taking the opportunity to crack down on revenge. How can a cadre of the Cultural Bureau be responsible for attracting investment? Xu Xinqun sat at his desk, thinking anxiously.

Xu Xinqun is an honest man. He has worked in the Cultural Bureau for more than 20 years and has earned a position as a section chief through his qualifications. In the previous paragraph, a deputy director of the Cultural Bureau retired, and the bureau intends to promote one person from the existing section chiefs to replace this deputy director. At this time, a small article written by Xu Xinqun on the mass art work and revival of traditional cultural forms in Hanping County was published in the city's newspaper. It is said that it was also verbally praised by a leader in the city, so The county instructed the Culture Bureau to include him in the inspection list to replace the Deputy Director.

The director Wang Zhuo and Xu Xinqun have always had some minor contradictions. Wang Zhuo said that Xu Xinqun was included in the county's candidate for the deputy director of the cultural bureau, but he was very dissatisfied. In order to block Xu Xinqun's promotion path, Wang Zhuo came up with a method, which is to assign the investment promotion task assigned to the Cultural Bureau in the county to Xu Xinqun, nominally giving Xu Xinqun a test before promotion. In fact, I want to use this incident to fight Xu Xinqun.

In the 1990s, governments at all levels in China took investment promotion as a top priority, and Hanping County is no exception. In order to fully mobilize the county's strength. In addition to the investment invitation task assigned to the economic departments such as the China Merchants Bureau and the Economic and Trade Commission, the county government also assigned different numbers of tasks to other commissions and offices, calling on all units to cross the sea and display their magical powers. Much foreign investment.

As a cultural unit, the Culture Bureau does not have the ability to attract investment at all, but the county still allocates 100,000 yuan for investment promotion indicators. Of course, this indicator has some flexibility. There are rewards for completing, and there is no direct penalty for not completing. It may only affect the performance evaluation of county leaders.

When Wang Zhuo handed this task to Xu Xinqun, he strengthened the task tenfold, claiming that if the task could not be completed, the bureau would suffer great humiliation. It may even affect the welfare of cadres and staff in general. Xu Xinqun heard that this matter was so important, and he wanted to refuse, but Wang Zhuo said that this was the trust of the county and bureau leaders. He had to answer it, and he had to answer it. If things did n’t go well, then It proves that he has no ability, so the deputy director is naturally unable to be taken. Even this section chief may be dismissed.

Xu Xinqun knew that this was Wang Zhuo's retaliation against himself, but there was no way. After all, they were engaged in a set of "yangmou." It can be said outright. Wang Zhuo also said publicly that as long as Xu Xinqun completed this task, the post of deputy director would belong to him and no one could take it away. After all, this is a test, if Xu Xin can't pass the test. Who can we blame?

Xu Xinqun has lived for almost 50 years and has never done any job of attracting investment. He doesn't know any business owner. Not to mention overseas relations. However, when Wang Zhuo gave the task to him, he gloated to remind him that his daughter Xu Xiaoqi was studying in the United States. Isn't this a convenient channel for attracting funds?

Xu Xinqun knows that her daughter is only an international student, and it is difficult to work and maintain food and clothing by herself. How could she be able to help her father introduce foreign capital? The reason why Wang Zhuo said this is that Wang Zhuo ’s own son could n’t even get into college, and he had deep grudges about Xu Xinqun ’s daughter being able to study abroad.

Alas, it seems that he can't escape Wang Zhuo's conspiracy. It really can't work. He simply left the position of the section chief and went to the Qunyi Museum to teach the folk songs of the old ladies and old residents of the neighborhood committee. There is no such thing as an infinite road. When my daughter graduates from overseas, her hard times will come to an end. Xu Xinqun soothed herself.

"Mr. Xu, someone is looking for you outside."

Just as Xu Xinqun complained about himself, Xiaoli, a clerk in Corey, came in from the door and said to him.

"Oh, who is it?" Xu Xinqun asked casually.

Xiao Deng said: "He said that his surname is Ning. He listened to his accent. He is a foreigner and a fat man."

"Fat from a foreign country with a surname of Ning?" Xu Xinqun froze. He couldn't think of when he knew a man with a surname of Ning, but also a fat man from a foreign country.

Thinking about this, Xu Xin came out of the office building, came to the door, and saw Ning Mo standing outside the door of the communication room.

"Excuse me, are you looking for me?" Xu Xinqun stepped forward and asked, there was only this fat man around, he should not recognize the wrong person.

"Please ... Excuse me, are you Xu ... Xun Xinqun ... uh, Section Chief Xu?" Ningmo saw Xu Xinqun, so nervous that he couldn't help stuttering. He wanted to call Xu Xinqun an uncle, but when he reached the side of the road, he was worried that it would be too abrupt, so he temporarily changed to Xu Xinqun's official title.

"I'm Xu Xinqun, may I ask who you are?" Xu Xinqun asked strangely as he looked at this seemingly timid young man.

Ning Mo squeezed a few smiles on his face and said, "Uncle Xu, my name is Ning Mo. It's from Jintang Chemical Materials Company of Shanxi Province ... Uh, the company's salesman, Xu Xiaoqi asked me to visit you."

"Xiao Qi?" Xu Xinqun's face became brighter. He enthusiastically held Ning Mo's hand and asked, "How did you know Xiao Qi? Are you her classmate at Beijing University?"

"No, no ... My sister is studying at Beijing University, and Xu Xiaoqi also knows her. However, when I was traveling in the United States a few months ago, I met Xu Xiaoqi. She ... she told me that if I had the opportunity to come to Tongjiang , Help her visit you. "Ning Mo finally made things clear.

Hearing that Ning Mo had just seen his daughter, Xu Xinqun suddenly forgot his troubles out of Jiu Xiaoyun, and he eagerly asked, "Oh, did you see Xiaoqi? How is she, fat or thin? Is life still adapting? "

"Xiao Qi is very good, she is very adaptable. Uncle Xu, don't worry, do we talk slowly ... You see that it is almost time to eat, let me invite you to have a meal with your aunt, I will let Xiao Qi's affairs will tell you in detail. "Ning Mo finally recovered to normal after a brief panic. In the past few years doing business management, he can be considered to have experienced some wind and rain, and still have some ability to cope with this situation.

Xu Xinqun patted his head and said, "Oh, I'm so confused, isn't it time to eat? So wait, I called Xiaoqi's mother and asked her to come here. Let's find a place to have some food and you tell us how Xiaoqi is now. "

Xu Xiaoqi's mother, Lu Jingfang, worked at the Health Bureau. She received a call from her husband. When she heard that a young man who had just met her daughter in the United States arrived in Hanping County, she hurriedly hurried on her bicycle. The scope of Hanping County is not large. It is only a few minutes from the Health Bureau to the Culture Bureau.

Seeing Lu Jingfang's arrival, Ning Mo stepped forward and shouted her aunt warmly, and then invited Xu Xinqun and Lu Jingfang to eat at the small restaurant next to him. The couple of Xu family remembered the matter of their daughter and naturally agreed. As for who paid for the meal, Xu Xinqun didn't think much about it. He felt that Ning Mo was a visitor from afar, so why should he pay for the hospitality.

At that time, there was no Internet in China, and the Xu family could not afford to cross the ocean. Even communication was limited to once a month, because the postage of letters between China and the United States was considerable. After Xu Xiaoqi went abroad, she only received her seven or eight letters at home. Although Xu Xiaoqi said in her letter that she was relaxed and happy in the United States, the family knew that this must have been a peaceful and honest daughter. Perhaps even half of the optimism in the letter is difficult to achieve.

Although my heart was full of worries, Xu Xinqun couldn't find any more ways to understand her daughter's life. Now I heard that there is someone who has just met their daughter in the United States. Why can't they be in a hurry to inquire.

The three sat down at the restaurant and ordered a few simple dishes. Ning Mo opened his handbag and took out a stack of photos. He handed them to Xu Xinqun and Lu Jingfang and said, "Uncle and aunt, please see. This is the picture I took of Xiaoqi in the United States this time. "

When I heard that there were photos, the old couple couldn't care less about holding them down ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ almost rushed to pick up the photos, and then looked at them one by one. At that time, taking photos was also a luxury consumption. When Xu Xiaoqi first arrived in the United States, she took a few photos and sent them home. Since then, she has not taken photos again. This time, she was soaked in Ning Mo's light that she took four or five rolls of film. What Ning Mo took was exactly the picture taken this time.

"Look, old Xu, Xiaoqi is a little thin ..."

"I don't think it's thin. It may be due to the angle of the camera. You don't look thin when you look at this one."

"Is this the room where Xiaoqi lives? I think it is better than the house in China."

"These two girls should be Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhao that she said? Looks like the relationship between the three of them is pretty good."

"Well, this ..."

The couple's hands looking at the photos stopped involuntarily, and both raised their eyes at the same time, casting two suspicious eyes on Ning Mu's body. The photo on their hands was taken by Ning Mo while the three girls were playing outside. The expressions of the four people looked very happy, but the most important point was: Xu Xiaoqi's hand It was actually on Ning Mo's arm! (To be continued)
