The next day Wang Zixu woke up on the floor. The moment he opened his eyes, he suspected that he had engaged in an unknown desperate struggle with the floor at night, and his whole body was in terrible pain.
After he came home last night, he was very excited and had a lot to say to his wife.
He felt that he had accomplished a great feat. He tried to organize language, and he tried to use his Nobel Prize-level language reserves to tell his wife what happened today.
As a result, after he compiled the outline, he suddenly found that it seemed to be nothing.
Whether it’s his career-defying feat or Raymond Lam’s compliment, the greatest significance is just a small victory in his inner world. The only social impact is that he has something to talk about after dinner, which only makes him laugh.
Compared to those 50 opportunities for the Nobel Prize in Literature, this matter is so insignificant, not even as good as one of them.
So, in the end, he smiled crookedly and said simply and conclusively:
"I talked to them about literature and shocked them all; I drank with them and knocked them all down; Lin Feng said that I should enter the literary world, but I think he was drunk."
The wife was also shocked. The corner of her mouth twisted for a long time before she said: "Nervous. I think you were just drunk."
Wang Zixu was in a great mood. So he lifted up his wife's skirt like peeling a banana and started to rub her.
The wife squinted her eyes and hummed. She was very cooperative at first, but when she was feeling warm and affectionate, she suddenly opened her eyes and kicked him off the sofa, saying:
"My whole body is full of alcohol and it stinks! I said I was preparing for pregnancy, wasn't this for nothing?"
< br>“Are you prepared for nothing?” Wang Zixu stood up like a crow, “Then don’t be prepared!”
His wife put her foot on his stomach, her calves stretched straight: “Starting from today, start all over again! There is not much time left!”
Wang Zixu squeezed his wife's foot: "There is still time, not less than a day or two."
His wife also pushed her other foot over: "What should I do if I get hit?"
Wang Zixu was discouraged.
The wife climbed off the sofa and walked past him proudly, saying: "You smell of alcohol today. Don't sleep with me. You go to the small bed. Go and take a shower."
The prince went to the toilet dejectedly and took off his pants. The stupid thing would rather die than give in. His body was so hard that he couldn't get out for a long time.
This stupid thing has a bronze luster all over his body like a Greek bodybuilding sculpture, with knotted veins and swollen beard and hair. He always maintains a high fighting spirit, which is in sharp contrast to himself.
He couldn't help but feel angry, and slapped the stupid thing on the side of his face: "You're not done yet, are you?"
This slap cut him off. His next memory was of waking up on the floor, in a small room, with pain all over his body.
Wang Zixu got dressed and just finished washing when he suddenly received a call. The note on the phone was "Section Chief Liu of the Government Office", but he had no impression of this person at all.
After answering the phone, he suddenly remembered that this person was the person at the wine table yesterday and was also a member of the inspection team.
The inspection team led by Lin Feng is not affiliated with a certain unit, but comes from all over the world and is organized together. Lin Feng had the highest level, so he led the team.
As a department with real power, the government office, not to mention the section chief, even ordinary clerks cannot be sloppy. Wang Zixu greeted the person respectfully, and then asked him what he wanted to do with him on his weekends off.
The other person smiled sheepishly and said, I have a good thing, and I would like to invite you to the government for negotiation. Although it is a rest day, it will definitely not waste his time, and it will definitely not be in vain for him to go to the government to do it.
The other party’s words were so cloudy that Wang Zixu felt the unpredictability of the power agencies. He is not so ignorant as to reject the other party, but he does not know why the other party is looking for him.
On the way to the government office, he thought of the least ridiculous reason, which was to help the leader’s children with their summer homework.
The government office is only one street away from Wang Zixu’s unit. Although his unit is very close to the building, it is far away from the center of power, and he usually does not have much business dealings with the government office.
His unit is a three-story small building, which adopts a combination of Chinese and European architectural styles. It ranks among the top in the city's fashion index - unfortunately, that was 50 years ago.
Fifty years later, the squat, Western-style small buildings have become a thing of the past, and the government buildings across the street are the tall and handsome little fresh meat.
The government office building is 12 stories high. From top to bottom, it is made of dark blue atomic mirror glass, which is one-way transparent. Transparency represents a clean and upright style of doing nothing; one-way represents a serious attitude towards the orderly exercise of power.
Wang Zixu didn’t linger with the comrade from the security department for long at the door. He mentioned Section Chief Liu’s name and the other party let him go.
This was his first time entering the interior of the building. Whether it was the clean and translucent marble floor or the simple and elegant sky dome ceiling, they all left a deep impression on him. He was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Arriving at the floor designated by Section Chief Liu, he walked along a long corridor counting the office house numbers.
Today is Saturday, but almost all offices are open and there are people inside. In the first room, a young comrade was waving a mop and mopping the floor; in the second room, a bald middle-aged man was shaking a cup and pouring out tea leaves; in the third room, a majestic man in a white shirt sat on a chair facing the door and glanced at him with a sharp look. With just one glance, he felt chills all over his body and hurriedly left.
Arriving at the appointed office, Wang Zixu saw Section Chief Liu sitting inside. When he saw him, the middle-aged man wearing glasses had a smile on his face.
“Here you come, sit down.”
He pointed to the leather sofa next to him. As soon as Wang Zixu sat on it, his body sank, as soft as a trap.
Wang Zixu was a little cautious and said: "Chief Liu, please look for me..."
Section Chief Liu sat on a chair opposite him, holding a teacup in his hand, crossing his legs, looking at him with a smile, his voice covered his voice:
"Then you have always liked studying literature?"
Wang Zixu was interrupted by him and followed his topic: "It's not about research, I just like reading."
Section Chief Liu asked: "How many have you read?"
Wang Zixu raised his head and thought about it, and said, "I haven't calculated it specifically. It's quite a lot anyway. If I count it in words, it should be more than one billion."
Section Chief Liu said, "Oh."
After that, he lowered his head to drink tea again.
While he was drinking tea, Wang Zixu finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Chief Liu, why did you come to me?"
Section Chief Liu shook his head while drinking tea, and then spit out the tea leaves, He put the lid on the cup, raised his head, and said:
"I'd better not tell you in advance. Director Mei wants to see you now, so wait until he comes to tell you."
"Director Mei?"
Hearing this name, Wang Zixu was startled.
Although he has heard nothing outside the window, does not know much about local celebrities, and never watches the news on local stations, he still knows the name "Director Mei".
Mei Rucheng is the top penman of the government office. All important speeches issued by the government office are drafted by him.
In the local magazine "Xihe Literature and Art", each volume has a short article by a heavyweight on the title page. He appears there frequently, with cold writing and strong logic.
With his qualifications, he is more than enough to serve as chairman of the Writers Association, but he is too busy with his actual duties, and he is too lazy to even hang up his title, so he declined the other party's warm invitation.
As long as you survive in the system, there is a high probability that you will hear Mei Rucheng's name. Therefore, even a Buddhist person like Wang Zixu knows him.
Wang Zixu asked: "When will Director Mei come?"
While talking, a burly man strode into the office and threw his briefcase on the table. Section Chief Liu suddenly changed his relaxed and comfortable posture and stood up respectfully.
“Director Mei, you are here.”
