Morning.
It's time for work.
In the County Party Committee's building, a few staff members who were late ran to the office building.
Yao Cui was also one of them. She woke up late today. Before she went to bed yesterday, she took a lot of cold medicine. In the end, the medicine helped her sleep too much. When she woke up and opened her eyes in the morning, she found that there were only twenty minutes left before work. So, she hurriedly got out of bed, combed her hair, picked up some clothes, and rode out. When she arrived at the office, it was already five minutes past work time.
Damn.
I will be scolded again.
Yao Cui was depressed and stopped her bicycle in front of the County Government Office building. She found a spot and locked her bicycle before running into the building.
… …
County Government Office.
Secretary Section 1.
The moment Yao Cui entered, she realized that everyone had arrived except for her.
"Xiao Yao! Why are you so late? "A Deputy Section Chief of a department asked.
Yao Cui quickly replied. "I caught a cold yesterday and took medicine."
The Deputy Section Chief replied impatiently. "You have a lot of excuses. This is not the first time you are late!"
Yao Cui replied. "I'm sorry, Section Chief Chen. I will take note next time."
"Alright. Hurry up and print the documents. Oh, get me a glass of water." Deputy Section Chief Chen ordered.
The secretaries were all veterans, and most of them had worked in the department for more than 5 years. Yao Cui had only joined the department for 2 to 3 years, and her position was not high. Many leaders like to let newcomers do some miscellaneous work, such as serving tea, photocopying, etc.
Yao Cui was used to this and immediately went to get the documents.
A girl of the same age as Yao Cui, who was also a member of the Secretarial Section, looked at her and quickly walked over to hand over the documents. "Cui Er, this is it."
Yao Cui nodded. "Ok. I will go and print the documents."
Xiao Hong whispered. "Are you feeling better?"
Yao Cui replied. "I had taken my medicine yesterday, and I am much better today."
Xiao Hong reminded Yao Cui. "Deputy Section Chief Chen is in a bad mood. Don't talk to him."
"I know." Yao Cui replied. "Hurry up and get back to work. If not, that Deputy Section Chief Chen will get angry when he sees us chatting."
Xiao Hong nodded and whispered. "Just let me know if there is anything you need to do. I will help you. You are late today, and the leaders will surely order you around."
"Thank you, Xiao Hong."
"Do we still need to be so polite?"
"Hehe, that's true. I'm going."
In the entire secretarial department, Yao Cui and Xiao Hong had the best relationship, but they were not close to each other. There was no other reason. It was because Xiao Hong was also a newcomer who came in at the same time as Yao Cui. At the beginning, she was also ordered by the leader every two or three days, so they naturally developed a friendship and had been helping each other. However, Xiao Hong was a little ugly, and her figure was not good, so gradually, whether it was male cadres or female leaders, the secretarial department gradually got used to ordering Yao Cui, this beauty. In addition, Yao Cui was not used to catering to the leaders, so the more she was ordered by the leaders, the more Yao Cui's position was the lowest in the secretarial department.
Copying documents …
Pour tea, pour water …
After working for half a day, Yao Cui finally completed the task assigned by the leader.
But just as she sat down on her chair to rest for a while, another order came.
"Little Yao, there's a document for you to type."
"Xiao Yao, the thermos is out of water. Go down and get another one."
Two middle-aged people with more experience in the secretarial department also ordered her.
Yao Cui's expression was not good, but she did not say anything. She had offended Ma Bin and Section Chief Cai yesterday, and Director Ma's strange reaction made Yao Cui nervous the whole night. In addition, she was late, and she did not know how the leader would punish her today, so she must be low-key.
Xiao Hong glanced at them and immediately stood up. "I will type the document."
The old people in the secretarial department looked at Yao Cui. "Then Little Yao will get a thermos of water. Thank you."
Yao Cui had no choice but to pick up the thermos from the table and go downstairs to get some water. Their county was poor, and there was no one responsible for cleaning and collecting water. So, only the secretaries like them could do it.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached.
The office door flashed, and Section Chief Cai walked in with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Section Chief Cai."
"Section Chief Cai."
Deputy Section Chief Chen and a few people nearby immediately greeted her.
Section Chief Cai nodded absentmindedly. The next moment, she saw Yao Cui who was about to go out with the thermos, and her eyes brightened up. "Little Yao!"
Section Chief Cai's voice was loud and sharp.
Yao Cui was stunned and thought it was something else. She immediately said. "I'm sorry, Section Chief Cai. I took too much flu medicine and woke up late."
Section Chief Cai quickly said. "It's fine. It's not a big deal!"
Yao Cui was stunned. Many people in the secretarial department also looked over suspiciously. What's going on? Did Section Chief Cai encounter something good? Why is she in such a good mood today?
Then, Chief Cai said with a smile, "What are you going to do?"
Yao Cui waved the thermos. "Oh, there's no water. Brother Wang asked me to get a thermos."
Section Chief Cai's face changed. Under everyone's shocked gaze, she stared coldly at the middle-aged man who ordered Yao Cui earlier. "You are asking Little Yao to fetch the thermos? Don't you have hands? Why can't you fetch it yourself? You are so spoiled! " The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Section Chief Cai pointed at Old Wang and shouted. "You are sitting there every day, and you are still acting like an old god! Let me tell you! If you continue to be like this, you better be an asshole! You still want people to serve you every day? Who do you think you are? Ah? You don't even know your family name?! "
Old Wang was dumbfounded by the harsh scolding.
"This … this … Section Chief Cai!" Old Wang stood up and said bitterly. "I … I am sorry." He did not dare to talk back to Section Chief Cai. This was his superior.
Section Chief Cai scolded. "If you want to drink water, go fetch it yourself!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll take it, I'll take it." Lao Wang quickly walked up and took the thermos from the stunned Yao Cui. He turned around and went downstairs.
What's wrong with Section Chief Cai today?
Why is she speaking up for Yao Cui? Did the sun rise from the west??
No one understood what was going on. Yao Cui and Xiao Hong were also confused.
In the past, even Section Chief Cai often ordered Yao Cui around. Although she didn't ask her to serve tea or pour water, she would never forget about Yao Cui every time she went out to socialize. Why today …
"Section Chief Cai, I …" Yao Cui tried to ask.
After scolding Lao Wang, Section Chief Cai's expression changed very quickly. When she looked at Yao Cui again, she immediately put on a smile and quietly looked at her with admiration. "Don't always call me Section Chief Cai. It's too distant. If you think highly of me, you can call me Big Sister Cai in the future."
Yao Cui was surprised.
Section Chief Cai said, "Why? Are you looking down on me? "
"No, no." Yao Cui smiled bitterly. "Sister Cai."
"Ah! That's right! " Section Chief Cai smiled and held Yao Cui's hand. "Let's go to Sister's office. Let's have a good chat!"
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Section Chief Cai pulled Yao Cui into the office.
…
In the office.
Section Chief Cai turned around and poured a glass of water for Yao Cui. "Come, Xiao Cui Er. Drink some water. Don't just stand there. Sit down." Xiao Yao had become Xiao Cui Er. Her tone was intimate. Yao Cui was not used to it. What is this?
"Errr … … Thank you, Section Chief Cai … … Thank you, Sister Cai."
"Haha … … No need to thank me. Sit down. Let's have a good chat." Section Chief Cai pulled Yao Cui to sit down and patted her hands. "Xiao Cui Er, you are good at hiding things."
Yao Cui was stunned. "What am I hiding?"
Section Chief Cai laughed. "You are still acting dumb? I know everything. I might have made you unhappy in the past. Don't hold it against me. "
Yao Cui asked. "Sister Cai, I really don't know what you are talking about."
Section Chief Cai blinked and was about to speak when they heard a few voices from outside.
"Chief Ma!"
"Chief Ma!"
… …
Ma Bin had arrived.
Ma Bin entered the secretarial department and looked around. "Where is Xiao Yao?"
Normally, Ma Bin would not come to the secretarial department personally. As the County Government Office Director, he only needs a phone call and Section Chief Cai would rush over. Just one phone call and he would be able to give his orders. Why would he come personally? Unless there is an emergency or an inspection. But today, Chief Ma came over and asked Xiao Yao. There is only one person with the surname Yao in the secretarial department, and that must be Yao Cui.
Deputy Section Chief Chen also noticed something was amiss and quickly said. "Chief Ma, Yao Cui is in Section Chief Cai's office."
Ma Bin's office door opened, and Section Chief Cai and Yao Cui walked into the secretarial department.
Seeing Yao Cui, Ma Bin immediately revealed a big smile. He nodded slightly and said, "Little Yao, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better? "
Yao Cui replied. "Thank you for your concern. I am feeling much better."
Ma Bin nodded. "That's good. How's your work recently? Is there anything you are unhappy about? "
Yao Cui replied. "This … … nothing. Everything is fine."
Ma Bin said. "Oh. You know about it now?"
Yao Cui blinked her eyes in confusion. "Know what?"
"You still don't know?" Ma Bin laughed and said, "You might have to move up a little in the near future. You should be mentally prepared, hehe."
Move up?
I will be promoted??
Everyone was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
Yao Cui was also stunned. "Chief Ma, where … … where am I going?"
Ma Bin did not say much and smiled. "You will know in the afternoon."
If this was in the City or the Province, this kind of transfer was considered a sensitive matter. Normally, it would not be announced in front of so many people. But at the grassroots level, especially in Zhen Shui County, everyone's work style was more direct. That's why the higher-ups were not as particular about this.
When everyone heard Yao Cui was going to be promoted, they were in disbelief!
Xiao Yao did not have any higher-ups, and her relationship with the higher-ups was not good. Why would she be promoted?
Even if she was promoted, Chief Ma and Section Chief Cai should not be so polite to Yao Cui.
