Chapter 67 Setting up a stall
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Wenzhong came to Wang Ganshi's house and knocked on the door again. Unlike in the afternoon, the treatment was good this time and he was directly allowed to enter the house.
Director Wang smiled and pointed at the rattan chair beside him, and Zhou Wenzhong let a cigarette and sat down.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
"You are picking me. You can't come and see you if you have nothing to do?"
“Haha~”
Secretary Wang stretched out his fingers and pointed at Zhou Wenzhong, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. Zhou Wenzhong quickly took it with both hands.
"I can guess the reason why you came today. I won't be polite to you, just say it openly."
"Hey, I'll listen."
"The boss has been paying attention to the matter of going to the countryside this time. There must be no mistakes, so I can't say too much about some things. I have also seen your name on the list of going to the countryside, which has become a foregone conclusion."
Zhou Wenzhong nodded with a smile and complained in his heart: If you really see it, you will definitely say that my place to go to the countryside has changed.
"Director Wang, you really think of me. I, Zhou Wenzhong, have never been a person who hides when encountering difficulties. Going to the countryside is both a call and a policy, and I must actively participate."
"It would be great if every young man had the awareness like you. Our work would be easier, drinking water."
"Hey. Thank you. Gudong Gudong..."
Zhou Wenzhong took two sips of water and placed the cup on the coffee table.
"Since you didn't come because of going to the countryside, you can touch my door. As long as you don't violate the principles or policies and regulations, you can tell me, and I'll think of a solution for you."
Zhou Wenzhong praised.
"Director Wang, you are really... you really think about our poor and lower-middle peasants everywhere. But I really have nothing to do. When I came to your house in the morning, I happened to hear that you were going to a foreign educated youth site to pick you up and return to Beijing in the evening. I was just thinking about coming to see you. After all, I am about to set off on the fourth day of the lunar month, and I was so happy that you could send me a trip."
"Haha~ I told you just now that sending people to the countryside is the responsibility of another group of colleagues. I am only responsible for personnel statistics and registration. We have completely different natures of work, which can maximize the occurrence of certain situations. I cannot tell you too much about the details."
"Oh, how many days are you going to go this trip?"
"That's fine. It may be about 20 days, or 10 days, or 1 month. What's wrong with you? I'm looking at the watch and it's time to leave. You want to say it later, but there's no chance."
"I just came to your house to take a look. You still had to ask me to ask you for something, you are really."
"I really should leave home. There are 10 minutes left."
"Okay, I know that you, Director Wang, is a cadre who is very careful and can't hide anything from your eyes. In fact, it really cannot be called: I just have an immature little idea, I don't know if it is feasible? I hope you can check it out and give me suggestions."
"Haha~ say it."
"Hey, I went to the square to take a photo today as you suggested. I heard from them that some fugitives were not sent away, of course! I'm not trying to get into the work of the street office. I just have such a small idea."
"Um."
"It's really not easy for them. They can still travel thousands of miles to Beijing in this environment. Isn't it because of their trust in us? Seeing that their difficulties are so difficult, I'm going to be confused with you. I can't sleep for several days. I believe your thoughts are similar to mine. I just want to take advantage of the Spring Festival to set up a stall on the sky bridge for a few days. Of course, I'm definitely not going to buy and sell things, that's illegal! I just want to earn them a few days of money for meals."
"Oh? What do you want to set up a stall? Tell me and listen."
"It is to complain to the people who come and go, let the people who watch the fun reach out to help, carry forward the spirit of help, and help them to overcome the difficulties. I think you promise, I have absolutely no selfishness! I personally will never touch these donations or supplies. You can find someone to look at me."
"You just talk casually, and they will pay you money? If it were as simple as you said, our street office would have done this long ago. Nowadays, no one's family is rich, so how can there be any excess food!"
"Director Wang, you are really considering the problem. I just thought about it and just try it casually. After doing it, I said that it was the street office who asked me to come, which was also a contribution of your unit. It doesn't matter if I don't do it well, but it's my personal face. Anyway, I'm going to the countryside soon. Why do I want shame? Do you think so?"
Zhou Wenzhong took out a match and lit a cigarette for Officer Wang.
"This is the matter...why, where did you ask me to find someone to help you now? Everyone has too much to finish the stall."
"Look, there are more and more people coming to escape. We don't have to worry about it. But we can't leave it alone, right? Anyway, I just want to try it, but what if it really happens? Besides, the finances of our street office have always been nervous, even if it's a dead horse.
Let’s take a step back. If you succeed, I represent the street office. If you fail, I only represent me personally. No matter which aspect you look at this matter, our street office should not be a loss in this regard, right? Do you think this is the reason?"
Wang Jianping held a cigarette in his left hand and shaved the mud in his ring fingernail with his thumb.
Zhou Wenzhong picked up the rattan hot pot with slight hands and added some hot water to Wang Jianping.
It was not until the cigarette had burned his mouth that Wang Jianping stopped thinking.
"Then let's say that first. Our street office cannot extinguish your enthusiasm. If you really make achievements by then, I promise you that no one dares to steal your credit. But then again..."
"Dongdong... Jianping, look at the watch and pay attention to the time, but don't be late."
Wang Jianping shouted to the window: "I understand! Pack all my things in a regular manner, and I will leave in a while."
"OK!"
"I said just now that no one dares to steal your credit, but! You must not do anything that violates the policy. This time you will think it's all exercise. Although I'm not in the capital for a while, you should go to the countryside again, and we shouldn't meet them. But you know where the door of my house is open today. You can ask someone else to send me a message."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, don't worry, I promise to complete the task. After all, I can't support this stall alone. I have to have a few helpers. Let my friend come over and give you an answer. I promise not to disappoint you. I promise to complete the task resolutely!"
"You, you... let's say that."
"Hey. Then I'll leave first."
"I send you."
"Don't let it go! You're slapping me in the face. We're not a little brat who doesn't understand. Let's go~"
Zhou Wenzhong drank the water from the cup, opened the door and walked out.
"Leave?"
"Well, Director Wang is in the house, I won't bother you anymore. See you again."
"Okay, pay attention to the bottom of your feet."
“Hey.”
Zhou Wenzhong closed the gate of the Wang family and walked towards his home...
"Um?"
Zhou Wenzhong looked at the crack of the bedroom door, and after taking it out, he counted a total of 18 yuan and directly put it in the space. He then placed Zhou Deming's IOU on the dining table.
"This old Zhou is becoming more and more sensible and has made progress! If you had learned from me earlier, you would have become the team leader long ago. Hehe~"
