For the whole morning, the entire office was rushing their drafts.
Zhou Changchun not only asked Dong Xuebing to write a draft. To be safe, Zhuang Zhi, Tan Limei, Guo Panwei, and the rest had to write a draft.
Dong Xuebing's draft was the most determined. Although he had not met Deputy Bureau Chief Yang in person, from what Tan Limei and the rest had told him, he knew Deputy Bureau Chief Yang was very strict with his drafts. He should be a hipster. That's why Dong Xuebing tried his best to make his draft more literary. He used all the idioms, ancient and modern stories and metaphors.
During lunch break, Dong Xuebing looked at his computer screen and nodded.
Alright. This time, it should be done. Dong Xuebing, it's your chance to shine in front of the leaders!
Dong Xuebing took his draft and went upstairs to Yang Yizhong's office. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door confidently.
"Come in."
Dong Xuebing entered the office and saw Yang Yizhong sitting on the office chair. He was surprised. He felt Deputy Bureau Chief Yang was different from the "hipster" image he had imagined. He was a bit rough. But Dong Xuebing had a preconceived impression of him. His appearance was too deceiving. This guy must be a hipster deep down.
Yang Yizhong frowned and looked at Dong Xuebing: "You are?"
Dong Xuebing replied politely: "I am Dong Xuebing. I am new to the General Affairs Office."
"Oh, is the draft ready?" Deputy Bureau Chief Yang stretched out his hand. "Let me take a look."
Dong Xuebing passed the A4 paper to Yang Yizhong excitedly and waited for the leader to praise him. He had done a great job. Deputy Chief Zhou and the rest of his colleagues would be impressed by him.
But before Dong Xuebing could be happy for 3 seconds, Yang Yizhong threw the draft back to him.
"What the hell are you writing? Ah? "Yang Yizhong's face changed and banged the desk:" Bullsh * t! "
Dong Xuebing's face turned green. "Ah?" You did not even read it?
Yang Yizhong shouted: "What's wrong with the General Affairs Office? I am puzzled! You can't even write a simple draft? Especially yours! What topic range do I want you to write? Look at what you've written! "He pointed angrily at the first few lines of the manuscript." Knowing honor and restraint, working together in harmony. What's this? Huh? What's this? "
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Chief Yang, you read it wrongly. That is … knowing honor and shame, building harmony."
Yang Yizhong's sore spot was poked, and he immediately flew into a rage. "I only have a primary school education! Can't they just not read? "
Dong Xuebing is stunned. Damn! Are you kidding me? Aren't you a hipster? Aren't you very strict with the language of the manuscript? Primary school education? What the hell! So you're not a hipster but an illiterate?
No wonder you don't like anyone's manuscripts! It turned out that there were too many words he didn't know!
Oh no, oh no! I'm in trouble!
Dong Xuebing knew he had offended Yang Yizhong and quickly shouted: "BACK!"
…
The deafening shouts quietly receded.
There was only the ticking of the clock.
"You are?" Yang Yizhong looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing immediately understood what time he was in and was relieved. "I am Dong Xuebing. I am new to the General Affairs Office."
"Oh, is the manuscript ready?" Deputy Bureau Chief Yang stretched out his hand. "Let me take a look."
Dong Xuebing does not dare to pass the manuscript to Yang Yizhong. He hid the manuscript behind his back and quickly made an excuse. "Sorry, Chief Yang. It is not ready yet. I am here to ask what is the latest time I can give you the manuscript?"
Yang Yizhong frowned impatiently. "Didn't I tell you? The sooner the better! "
"Sorry to disturb you. I will go back to prepare."
Yang Yizhong looked at Dong Xuebing walking out of the office, and he got up from the windowsill to light a cigarette. Dong Xuebing was working in a chemical factory in the suburbs of Beijing a few years ago. After that, he followed the right leader and was brought into the government. His education level was very low and does not know how to read. That's why he rejected the General Affairs Office's speeches. He did not explain the real reason why he rejected the speeches. What should he say? Say I graduated from primary school? Say I am not educated? Yang Yizhong cannot afford to be embarrassed! Yang Yizhong thought that if no one in the General Affairs Office can understand his intentions, he can only look for his old subordinates from the Eastern District Branch to write his speech.
On the other hand, Dong Xuebing tore the speech into pieces on his way back to his office. This damn speech had almost killed him. Luckily he had BACK. If not, he would not even know how he died.
Tan Limei, Zhuang Zhi, and the rest had returned to the General Affairs Office after lunch. When they saw Dong Xuebing, they asked: "Bing Zhi, how is your speech?"
"Ah … I am almost done."
Guo Shunjie looked at Dong Xuebing mockingly. He thought to himself: You are quite energetic. Even the few of us cannot write a speech, and you can write it?
Chang Juan pushed the keyboard angrily. "I can't continue! I can't write anymore! "
Guo Panwei scratched his head and thought hard.
Tan Limei replied angrily: "I wonder what kind of speech he wants! My writing is good enough! "
Only Old Yan was reading the papers leisurely. He acted as if this has nothing to do with him.
Dong Xuebing does not have the time to chat. He sat in front of his PC and started typing furiously. This time, Dong Xuebing finally understood Yang Yizhong's intentions. He can write without any obstacles. Idioms? Allusions? That was something he absolutely could not accept. Ming Yu? Metaphors? Get as far away from me as you can!
Straightforward!
What Dong Xuebing wants is straightforward!
Speech: Hello, leaders. The title of my speech is "Raising the Sails of Honor and Disgrace". After writing it, Dong Xuebing felt it was not appropriate and deleted it. No. Deputy Bureau Chief Yang might not recognize the word "shame". So, he changed it to. Everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation.
Dong Xuebing continued writing and thinking.
Needless to say, this elementary school composition was really not that easy to write. The words had to be straightforward, but the content couldn't be straightforward. It was very challenging.
After some time, the office door opened.
"Huh? Chief Yang!"
"Chief Yang!"
Tan Limei, Guo Panwei, and the rest stopped what they were doing. They could feel their scalps turning numb.
Yang Yizhong's face was gloomy. "The speech is not finished? How long has it been? "
Zhou Changchun walked out of his office. "I had finished and was about to send it over to you. Xiao Tan, Xiao Chang, pass me the speech."
Including Zhuang Zhi and Er Guo's speeches, there were a total of five drafts.
Yang Yizhong took the notes from Zhou Kexin and read through them quickly. "No … … no … … this is also not good … … what are they writing … … this is also not good … …" In the blink of an eye, all 5 speeches were passed. "Old Zhou, don't tell me your General Affairs Office doesn't even know how to write a speech? Ah? "
Tan Limei, Changjuan, and the rest lowered their heads and kept quiet.
"Chief Yang, we … …" Yang Yizhong was a few ranks higher than Zhou Changchun and had a lot of influence in the system. If he was unhappy with Zhou Changchun, he would not be able to keep his position as the Deputy Chief. That was why Zhou Changchun wanted to build a good relationship with this new Deputy Chief. But now, not only he did not build a good relationship with Zhou Changchun, he even messed up his relationship with him.
The more Zhou Changchun thought about it, the angrier he got. But he could not vent his anger at Chief Yang. He turned around and looked at Guo Shunjie, Guo Panwei, Changjuan, and the rest. The people under him usually looked very capable, had a positive working attitude, and were very passionate about their work. But when it came to the critical moment, none of them could be of use!
"Chief Yang." Dong Xuebing suddenly took out a piece of A4 paper from the printer. "I have finished writing."
Guo Panwei looked at Dong Xuebing. He was thinking to himself that Dong Xuebing was not afraid of anything. Didn't you want to get scolded?
Guo Shunjie snorted in his heart and looked at Dong Xuebing coldly.
Yang Yizhong had lost his confidence in them and kept quiet. He stretched out his hand with a cold expression.
Dong Xuebing carefully passed the script to him with both hands. "I am not sure if you like it. If not, I will change it."
The rest of the General Affairs Office staff sighed and closed their eyes, waiting for a new round of scolding.
1 minute … …
2 minutes … …
3 minutes … …
However, the expected rebuke did not come. After a while, under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, the dark clouds on Yang Yizhong's face suddenly dissipated. He raised his right hand and slapped the manuscript heavily. He actually laughed out loud and said, "Good! Good! Look at what he wrote! Hahaha! This is the right way to write a speech! "
Guo Shunjie, Zhou Changchun, and the rest of the staff were stunned by Yang Yizhong's reply.
Yang Yizhong patted Zhou Changchun's shoulder. "Old Zhou, your General Affairs Office is quite capable. Not bad. Not bad." Yang Yizhong looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded: "I remember your name is Dong … … Dong Xuebing? You are a good young man. In the future, I will not need anyone else to write my script. You will be in charge of it. "
"Thank you, Chief Yang, for your trust." It was rare to leave an impression on the leaders. Dong Xuebing straightened his back and tried his best to look energetic.
After Yang Yizhong left, the General Affairs Office was in a mess.
Tan Limei was the first to ask: "Bing Zhi! What did you write? Why is Chief Yang so happy? "
Changjuan laughed: "Our General Affairs Office is full of hidden talents."
Guo Panwei looked at Dong Xuebing with jealousy.
Guo Shunjie's face changed. How could the picky Chief Yang be so happy? All of them had written more than 10 marks, but Dong Xuebing was still not satisfied. What was going on?
Dong Xuebing could not tell the rest that Yang Yizhong does not know how to read. If Chief Yang knew that he was the one who spread the news, he would be in big trouble. That's why he only said that Yang Yizhong might like simple and straightforward words.
After looking at the document saved on Dong Xuebing's computer, everyone understood what he meant by "straightforward and concise."
Tan Limei was impressed and gave Dong Xuebing a thumbs up: "Bing Zhi, you are awesome!"
Zhou Changchun also did not expect the problem to be Yang Yizhong's education level. He was impressed by Yang Yizhong's observation skills. He patted Yang Yizhong's shoulders. "Good job. You did not disgrace our office." Zhou Changchun felt that the General Affairs Office lacked someone like Dong Xuebing, who could hold the fort during crucial moments.
