dust off his trousers and agreed, "It's all about mindset. When people are rushing forward, who cares about the scenery" 。As the mind goes, so does the landscape. 。Some people strive to embellish the...As usual, the provincial department meeting will be held at the end of the year.

The organizing secretary will have people stationed at the hotel to gather information for speeches. 。Even though it's just a department-level unit, down to large meetings, it's also about learning from higher-ups. There needs to be a materials preparation team, a meeting support team, and you even have to stay in a hotel, working day and night to handle cases for a whole week. 。The entire secretariat is mobilizing, and the various departments understand that it's time for another big meeting. 。This year, the secretariat had two and a half new employees. Afraid they couldn't hold their own, Wen Yanqi also moved into the hotel with Li Zheng and three others. 。Wen Yanqi assigned tasks to the three people. Li Zheng was in charge of the hall director's work report, Tian Weijie and Xue Peng were in charge of Jin Provincial Governor's speech. 。Li Zheng, after all, had worked there for a while and seemed quite familiar with the ropes. 。Tian Weijie and Xue Peng, however, were filled with anxiety. 。Wen Yanqi was quite worried about Li Zheng, after all, it was his first time completing a work report. Before entering the hotel, he had instructed Li Zheng to start early and explained the points to pay attention to. 。The work report said that it wasn't difficult, but it wasn't easy either. 。Every department's work summary wants to be exaggerated to the heavens, this needs to be reduced to the essentials. Organize them by priority based on the leader's preferences. 。Also, summarize the meeting minutes from the department, interpret them, and based on the province's arrangements, form new work ideas. 。The first part is simple, the second part is difficult. 。Li Zheng's basic skills are already quite good, the key is to see how he performs in the second part. 。

Wen Yanqi initially made a sample, but didn't tell Li Zheng, just waiting for Li Zheng to figure it out before taking a look.

If I can't come up with anything, I'll just use my own template and modify it a bit. That way, the meeting won't be delayed. 。Zhou Yuanli called Wen Yanqi and teased him. 。Wen Yanqi complained that Zhou Yuanli was addicted to being the director, ignoring his brothers. 。Zhou Yuanli then burst into laughter and said that representatives from the organization would come to visit Wen Yanqi in the afternoon. 。Wen Yanqi said, "Come quickly if you're coming. Yu Xin and the others are probably bored at the Personnel Department. Just bring them along. I'll take care of your food, drinks, and everything else here." 。Zhou Yuanli, at the new and entered Wen Yanqi's room, also asked the driver to move a box of wine 。Wen Yan frowned: "The market has changed now, no one drinks." 。Zhou Yuanli replied, "Literati don't drink, what kind of articles do they write You wait, after a few young lads have a drink, you won't need to worry." 。immediately took out a box of Yuxi cigarettes and offered them to the two. 。Yu Xin took the cigarette and said, "Yuan Li, just as the new chief, you have already become corrupt. You don't even smoke anymore!"Zhou Yuanli said, "Damn it! Even my Yuxi cigarettes are considered corrupted now! If the chief still smokes Yunyan, wouldn't that be a laughing stock" Wen Yanqi took the cigarette without lighting it and said, "Chief Zhou always remembers us brothers. We need your guidance at critical moments." 。"What guidance, what nonsense. It's just a few speeches. Things haven't changed in decades anyway. There will always be talented people throughout history. Literary figures are never out of fashion. Let the young generation try it out first. Once they've done it, they'll understand the ins and outs." 。YuXin smiled at HeHe and said that after YuanLi was promoted, he became even more generous. 。Zhou Yuanli, however, shook his head with a wry smile and let out a snort. 。Wen Yanqi and Yu Xin looked at each other, smiling with knowing glances. 。The inside scoop on the Public Relations department, few people actually know it. They're good for decoration, not much else. Okay for a drinking buddy, but not someone to go on stage with. 。Zhou Yuan's body was filled with power, but all around him were just playthings. 。At the table, Zhou Yuanli poured himself a glass of wine and praised the secretaries with kind words. 。"Wen Yanqi's writing has become a model at the provincial level. You guys have met a good mentor, and the secretary’s office is just missing a good leader. Now that Director Wen is here, things are twice as effective." 。Several people received Wen Yanqi's private teachings, no matter how Zhou Yuanli spoke, they just took turns toasting him. 。Zhou Yuan's interest piqued, he began to share his experiences. 。Wen Yanqi, taking advantage of the wine, entrusted the conversation about Tian Weijie and Xue Peng's gold province governor to Yu Xin again. 。Yu Xin said, "It's the hardest to make the provincial governor speak. Every time, he doesn't exceed 3,000 words," putting down his wine glass and made a gesture of three with his hand, then said, “Think about it, you guys, the deputy governor, how many pages of paper, still need to explain things clearly” ! Tian Weije and Xue Peng opened their mouths wide and sighed, "Both of us are now seven or eight pages, and we haven't finished half of the story" !Yu Xin shook his head, “That won’t work, one page five or six hundred words, seven or eight pages are over four thousand words, once you submit it to the office, they will surely return it to you” ! Wen Yanqi then said Yu Xin had written ten years of provincial governor's speeches, so this was easy for him. 。Then the two took turns toasting to Xinhe with new wine, and Xinhe raised a cup in return. He agreed to personally revise . 。One meal and a drink settled the two speakers, Wen Yanqi felt relieved. 。Although Zhou Yuanli and Yu Xinhao have left the office and no longer climb the corporate ladder, their habits from those years remain. They can get by with passing over trivial matters, but when they see unsatisfactory articles, they always feel compelled to make changes, just like Wen Yanqi. They both share this unyielding urge to improve things that bothers them. 。After the wine, Wen Yanci kept the two of them, chatting nonsense in the room. Zhou Yuanli took off his shoes and leaned against the headboard, Yu Xin also turned sideways, changing to a more comfortable posture. 。Zhou Yuanli and Yu Xinhua had a bit too much to drink today, they are in high spirits. 。"How is the Publicity Department doing" Wen Yanqiming asked knowingly. 。Zhou Yuanli picked his teeth, turned his head and spit out a leaf of vegetables, snorted and said: "What else can I do, just muddle through." 。"There's not much going on here, just a monthly journal and messing around with the camera," he sighed again. 。Xin He said to Zhou Yuanli, "Yuanli, you can't muddle through life. You're so young, unlike me. During my time at the Human Resources department, I realized that days without climbing the ladder are truly blissful. Just looking here and there, flipping through this and that, and the day just passes by. Nobody dares to ask me to do anything. Even if they do, I won't budge. Haha, that's how a big shot lives." 。Zhou Yuan's strength: "Aren't they all the same The propaganda department, I'm a big thug, the deputy director is a second-class thug, and the rest are just a bunch of little hooligans" 。Just got a dedicated car, and now the office announces reforms. Damn it, I'm so pissed off! 。

Wen Yanqi knew about this. The other day, the government called for energy conservation. Each department was allotted one car for every five people, with a monthly limit of 80 liters of gasoline per car. If they ran out, they had to figure it out themselves.

Though they are all departments, the treatment is different after all. The office boasts under the banner of the hall leadership, and the project department, human resources department, planning department, etc., wealthy departments don't worry 。The real savings would come from places like the Public Relations Department and Legal Affairs Department, these departments are essentially just administrative units. Once their usefulness is over, they're nothing more than curios left to gather dust in the courtyard. They wouldn't even be able to function if there was no oil to keep them running, let alone do anything productive, which would only make others laugh and say the department heads are incompetent. 。Wen Yan said, "It's just a car. Use it less normally. After this storm passes, it will still be the same. It can only limit a few people. When something really happens, you can't stop using it." 。Yu Xin and Dao said: "That's right, when nothing happens, go out to have fun and call your brothers along. We can also enjoy the perks of being a director!"Zhou Yuanli, however, said: "There are no perks at all. This is really not as good as the office. Just come up with an excuse and you get driven..." 。"This car is useless either way, driving it too much isn't good either. Who gave the director such a bad idea Must be bored."Wen Yanqi's mind flashed an image of Duan Renwu with his little finger curled up, but he said, "I have no idea, aren't we supposed to save energy now It's already generous not to give you a bicycle.” 。Zhou Yuan shook his head and let out a hum. 。For over a decade, Zhou Yuanli has been working in his office, diligently pouring himself into his work. Yet, he seems to be deeply immersed in the world of words. 。When Wen Yanqi first started working, Zhou Yuanli was already the secretary. He was gifted with words and rather conceited. Even the section chief would be contradicted by him if he didn't like an article. After seven or eight years of this, he was promoted to deputy director, which made Wen Yanqi envious. He thought to himself that being a secretary seemed pretty glamorous. 。The further you look back, the worse it gets. Zhou Yuan was promoted to Deputy Director, but he still had his mind set on the secretary's office, staring at the articles. Gradually, he fell from Deputy Director to Chief Secretary again. 。When the leader wants to speak, they naturally think of Zhou Yuanli, but forget about him for other matters. 。Zhou Yuanli's time at the outpost is increasing, and the deputy director has accompanied two directors. 。It was hard because he got his position through talent, but no matter how much effort he put in, he couldn't get the director's position. This time, he got the position of Publicity Department Head through qualifications, and his complaints became even more obvious. 。From then on, Wen Yanqi understood that everything depends on overall strength. Relying solely on writing wouldn't get you anywhere. The chief endured your arrogance because he needed to speed up the document process, but he also saw you as a formality. After all, he had to get past this hurdle with you. 。Major events should not be decided by a few files. Zhou Yuan has spent over ten years failing to understand this, he can write but not do, he can do but not speak. 。Make a lasting impression on your leader with one skill, but risk being remembered only for that and having other talents forgotten. A comb can only comb hair, and a toothbrush can only brush teeth. 。After a long silence, it seemed as if both of them had fallen asleep. Wen Yanqi felt a little drowsy and stood by the window. Outside, the weather was cold, and a layer of mist covered the glass, making things indistinct. Wen Yanqi wiped the glass with his hand, and the city was still bustling with activity, cars and people flowing like water. 。In an instant, the mist transformed into water, flowing down along the handprint, blurring the scene even further. 。"Yanqi, what do you think those cars coming and going are all busy with" Zhou Yuanli squinted his eyes, his hair a mess. 。Wen Yan shook his head. "Sometimes I also think, these cars are all rushing in and out, busy with endless things to do, barely getting a few hours of rest at night before they're back on the road again." 。Can't figure it out. 。Zhou Yuanli said: "Everyone is running towards their own future, before reaching the end they all think the end has wine and meat, better than being lost and confused halfway through." 。A familiar road is faster, and even an unfamiliar one shouldn't be stopped to ask for directions, lest you hold up the cars behind you. 。Wen Yanqi said again: "Now people are all in a hurry, where can you find someone to guide the way They don't even distinguish between north and south, only left and right. They give you this left and that right, and end up dizzying themselves." 。Zhou Yuan shook his head: "Yes, just like me. At first, I liked writing. Later, writing became my life, and my life was only about writing. I wrote speeches for the leaders and reports, treating myself as a leader, giving orders from a high position, pointing fingers at others, full of ambition. Looking back, it wasn't ultimately my own thing after all. And later on, I just became numb." 。

Wen Yan looked at Zhou Yuanli in a strange way. He had once thought that Zhou Yuanli was immersed in his own world and couldn't get out, but it turned out that he had long since seen everything.

Wen Yan suddenly understood Zhou Yuanli's state of mind. He had long known his own situation and understood his weaknesses, but he just couldn't bend over, and everything around him would become awkward. 。

He wanted to change, but he couldn't. From the outside, Zhou Yuanli was still Zhou Yuanli, but who knew that perhaps he no longer wished to be himself

Wen Yanqi understood Zhou Yuanli; he was a straightforward person. At the crossroads, knowing that another path might be smoother, he instinctively turned toward the familiar one. Perhaps only he knew the hardships that lay ahead.

Zhou Yuanli remained silent for half a day. Wen Yanqi realized he had fallen asleep again. 。The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, several people finally got up. Yu Xin sighed to Tan: "As we get older, it takes longer for us to sober up from alcohol." 。

Zhou Yuanli sleepily said, "Xinhe, this ball of people, when will they all be full of big things!"

Yu Xinhe said, "You can only be full of age, where else can you be big"

Zhou Yuanli said, "I don't know where else you are big"

After that, Zhou Yuanli walked into the room of three little secretaries to give them a talk about ideology

Yu Xin said to Wen Yanqi, "Don't look at Yuan Li's constant complaints. When it comes down to it, he's still a righteous person." 。Wen Yan nodded. "That's really true. It's actually quite simple. Yuanli has been out mixing things up these past few years, and who knows, he might even come back." 。Yu Xin shook her head, but said, "Maybe." 。 the department, since he opened his mouth, has fulfilled his promise. He also met the requirements of the head of the department, and all the heads of the units are happy about it. 。The new cafeteria...
