There is no protracted cold war between middle-aged couples. Not long after, Wang Zixu was lying on the bed with his wife in his arms. There is only one public food payment left before the usual reconciliation process is completed.
The wife’s understanding of pregnancy preparation is to count the days and give the most critical shot on the most critical day, but before that, she can’t ask for anything. So they skipped that and went straight to the final process of the reconciliation ceremony.
"Actually, I also have my bad points." The wife began to find her own problems, which meant that she had completely calmed down. "I thought about it carefully later and found that what you said at the time did make sense. Colleagues sometimes have to be more careful."
The wife said: "However, it would be better for you to meet Lin Feng. He always publishes articles in local magazines. If you go talk to him, maybe you can find some connections? I am not saying that you should go through the back door to find connections, but the wine is afraid of deep alleys. If you have a good chat with Lin Feng, you can also publish a few articles in "Xihe Literature and Art", what an honor."
Wang Zixu was speechless. The most important thing between middle-aged couples is mutual compromise. Just now his wife compromised, now it's his turn to compromise. This is the final process of the reconciliation ceremony. But he didn't want to compromise.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to earn royalties from “Xihe Literature and Art”. He had heard the name Lin Feng twice, once from his colleagues and once from his wife, both of whom were full of praise for his literary attainments. But neither of them knew much about literature.
He has read Lin Feng’s works, which are in line with the general level of a local literary magazine like "Xihe Literature and Art". He believed that Lin Feng was inferior to him. When Zuo Ziliang came to see him, he was also impressed by the fact that a great talent came out of a small place. However, he secretly submitted an article to "Xihe Literature and Art" and has not heard back yet. He didn't know the reason.
So he felt a little unbalanced in his heart. Could it be that I couldn't get into "Xihe Literature and Art" because I didn't go to the top of the mountain with Lin Feng?
He looked back at his wife and found that she was staring at him with twinkling eyes.
“Okay, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Go to bed first.”
……
Wang Zixu’s lectures are still effective. The next day, there were obviously more voices discussing literature in the group of speech therapists.
Many people are very interested in the method of "shaping the other person during chatting" mentioned by Wang Zixu. Some people have tried to use it in speech therapy, but the effect is not satisfactory. According to people who have used it, they still have to rely on scripts.
Wang Zixu realized that not everyone had the same deep savings and background as he did, and could use his skills as easily as he did. He doesn't have the narrow-minded idea of being self-conscious, but he is very happy that people can realize the power of his unique secret book.
He is also very happy that with his own efforts, literature has attracted more people's attention. He has always felt that writers such as Hemingway have not received their due status in China, and people prefer watching short videos to reading books.
Some people say that they have placed orders for some of Hemingway’s most famous books, such as "The Old Man and the Sea", etc., and want to learn how to pick up girls.
Wang Zixu did not try to correct these people’s misunderstandings. You will never learn how to pick up girls in "The Old Man and the Sea", but you can learn how to pick up fish. There are only fish in that book, no women.
However, he would like to see more people reading Hemingway, no matter what the original purpose. He believed that this tough guy's ocean-like feelings would eventually conquer them.
Just as Wang Zixu was brushing up the chat history, a colleague came in. When he saw Wang Zixu, he gasped: "Xiao Wang, why are you still sitting in the office?"
Wang Zixu raised his head: "What's wrong?"
“Tsk, didn’t you receive the notice? It’s about to be inspected! Hurry, go to the conference room, the leader is about to deploy tasks.”
His body was shaken, he stood up, and rushed to the conference room with his colleagues.
Wang Zixu’s work is not busy except when he is undergoing inspection.
“Welcome to inspection” is the abbreviation of “Welcome to inspection”. As we all know, leaders generally don’t know what their subordinates have done, and the higher-level organizations don’t know how much the lower-level departments have done. Therefore, lower-level departments need to be inspected every year to accept the work results of the past year.
After passing this level, one year’s work is considered to have been stamped and certified by the superior. If the inspection fails, varying degrees of punishment will be imposed depending on the severity of the circumstances. But even the slightest punishment is enough for department leaders to drink a pot of blood, and it will also affect the year-end bonus of the entire unit.
It is related to the leader’s hat and the salary of the workers, so the inspection is naturally taken very seriously.
Although the unit is a Qingshui yamen, the chance of financial risks is very small, but there are always various problems, especially some work accounts.
Nowadays, it is important to leave traces in work. No matter what you do, you must establish a ledger and include it in file management. This is naturally a lot more convenient for the people doing the inspection. They can know exactly what work has been done and what meetings have been held as soon as they look through the information. However, this makes the people doing the work miserable.
Writing accounts also requires effort, and it takes a lot of energy. Some things are easier said than done, and some things are easier said than done. How to balance the three aspects of work difficulty, organizational care, and personal ability is an eternal difficulty in writing accounts.
In addition to writing accounts, there are also photos, meeting minutes, various documents, signatures... There are a lot of work materials that need to be prepared. Sometimes after half a day of work, I have to spend half a day preparing materials. So every time when it comes to the inspection, there is always a pile of materials that have been missed.
Every day before the inspection, the unit will mobilize all operatives to go through the entire year's information and ledgers from head to toe, correcting any mistakes or making up for any omissions. This is often a big project.
When we arrived at the conference room, our colleagues were all chattering about the preparation for the inspection. This year's inspection came much earlier than in previous years, and it was a busy business period, so everyone was complaining.
“Quiet, quiet, quiet!”
The leader slapped the table, and the chatter stopped. He picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said:
"Everyone knows about the inspection. The office is responsible for making a list of the materials to be prepared, so All departments must be involved. Each department will claim a section, and the office will be responsible for checking and signing. All materials must be qualified. Does Shichao have any objection? ”
The person in charge of the office, named Xu Shichao, nodded immediately and expressed no objection. The leader nodded and said: "Then it will be clear that the office will take the lead in taking charge of this matter. All comrades must actively cooperate, as this is related to everyone's welfare. Everyone should work a little harder during this period."
A girl in the conference room suddenly raised her hand and spoke: "Boss, there are only two people in our department, and my section chief has asked for leave. I can't support myself alone."
This girl's name is Guo Ranran, and she is the only post-00s generation in the unit.
The leader touched the water glass and said, "Are you asking for leave?" He frowned and thought about how to solve the problem.
Next, Xu Shichao also quickly said: "This situation does exist in our unit. Last year, it was divided according to departments. As a result, some departments had more people and finished it quickly, while some departments had less people and almost finished it. The task was not completed. ”
The leader said: “Are you really stupid? You don’t know how to divide tasks according to the number of people? Big departments get more points, and small departments get less points!”
Xu Shichao smiled awkwardly and said: "That's what I think, but some comrades have opinions. They feel that the content at hand is divided too much and others are divided too little, and they are emotional."
The leader raised his eyebrows, knocked on the table and said: "Who has the opinion? Who is it? Tell me your name and let him stand up and report to me."
Xu Shichao said quickly: "This is all last year, and it is all over."
The leader said: "Then why didn't you tell me last year? Comrades, let me emphasize it again. It is not the responsibility of any individual to welcome the inspection. I know that our unit is a mixed-job and mixed-employment department. Some comrades are career editors and are not motivated enough, and some old comrades are about to retire.
"But if the inspection fails, everyone's welfare will be affected. So each of you must take your own responsibilities. If you have any objections, don't argue, come and report to me. I think it's because Xu Shichao assigned the tasks unfairly, or because you didn't take your responsibility!"
After saying that, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced towards Wang Zixu, his eyes were quite dissatisfied, which made Wang Zixu feel aggrieved.
He is the business editor. It seems that the leader mistakenly thought that the person Xu Shichao was talking about was him.
It’s a pity that an old scalper like him always does the work when he has it, and never hesitates.
But the leader did not give him a chance to defend himself.
