After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

65 Not all about ability

Jiang Yingying glanced at Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei deliberately didn't tell anyone about such a glorious thing. It was understandable that he didn't tell his neighbors. After all, it was not good to show off too much, and there was no need to show off in front of those people. It didn't make sense that he didn't tell the town cadres, because they would know it sooner or later.

Could it be that this so-called gift was not sent by the county committee, but was bought by Xiao Wei himself?

There is no need for Xiao Wei to lie to herself.

The godfather could understand a little bit. This girl didn't like to show off. She probably had some ideas. It was not appropriate to show off in front of the mayor. He just laughed and invited the three leaders into the house for tea.

The three of them naturally saw the spectacular wine jars on the ground. They heard that they were used by Xiao Wei for practicing martial arts, and they all found it incredible.

Xiao Wei had no choice but to explain and then went upstairs for a walk. The three of them then pretended to nod to show that they had a creative idea.

Sitting at the table in the main hall, Xiao Wei and Jiang Yingying made tea for them, and the mayor got to the point: "Did something happen at home? Why did you suddenly resign?"

The godfather said as planned: "First, my ability is limited and I am unable to do the job. Second, my hands hurt a lot recently and it's hard for me to even hold a bowl. I really can't handle the heavy responsibility. Third, I always don't understand the specific rules in this position and I keep making small mistakes. I feel that I am not worthy of the position."

The mayor asked calmly, "What kind of job do you want to change to, Lao Li?"

"It's OK if the responsibility is small and it's easy."

"You were injured for building a new society. You are a meritorious official. The government will not treat you unfairly. Let me know which department you have your eyes on."

The cooperative is very popular and the president is the real power holder. It is very incomprehensible that he resigned at this time. The mayor is obviously testing him.

"If there's really no place to arrange it, we can go to the cultural center."

The cultural station is commonly known as a nursing home or a cold palace. There is no power, and there is nothing special to do. There are professionals to write slogans and draw posters, and most of them are done by the Propaganda Office. Usually, they collect historical materials and folk stories. There is no need to go to get off work regularly. Anyway, there are two words: free and easy, but also looked down upon.

A follower said: "Mr. Li is still far from retirement age. If he goes to the cultural center, his salary level may be reduced."

Xiao Wei couldn't help but ask, "I didn't make any mistakes. Is there such a rule for reducing the salary level?"

Xiao Wei knew almost nothing about the rules of officialdom. She just asked this question because she felt it was unreasonable.

You know what, this question really hits the point.

The mayor was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Wei, and forced a smile, "College students are indeed knowledgeable. There are no specific regulations, but some aspects are indeed difficult to apply for. If you keep your original rank, there will always be suspicion of being a figurehead. However, your godfather's situation is rather special, he is a meritorious disabled. How about this, Lao Li will hand over his work and go to the cultural center to be the deputy director. I will write a report for approval by the superiors, and try to keep his rank and welfare benefits."

"Thank you, Mayor."

Several people talked about the wedding date, bride price, dowry, etc. The mayor said that both of them were heroes and a perfect match, and the town would give them appropriate care.

Xiao Wei said: "The government has taken good care of us, and I am very grateful. There is no need for special treatment, otherwise people will have similar complaints, and it will be difficult for the government to do its job."

The mayor smiled and said, "A person of high level is one who is well-educated, sensible and considerate. I heard that Xiao Wei has published many articles, and is the best in the town. His future is limitless."

"This is just a fabrication. It's just a trick. I'm sorry to make the mayor laugh at me."

"How modest! That doesn't match the rumors."

A follower said, "Ji Xiaowei donated thousands of yuan to the county middle school. The commendation documents have been issued. He will go on stage to receive the award at the county meeting after the New Year."

"It is taken from the people and used for the people. It is not worth mentioning. It is fine to accept the award, but there is no need to commend it. After the Spring Festival, I will go back to school. At present, I will focus on learning knowledge well and do not want to participate in other things."

"Yes. Only by learning knowledge well can you better serve the people. You are a good kid. But, isn't it a bit wasteful that you practice with a wine jar?"

"Well, because time is tight and the jar is broken, I will feel sad, and force myself to concentrate and practice more carefully, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"That does make sense. When people are stressed, they can really reach their maximum potential. But you'd better try to save as much as possible. You are a good person in the whole county. Your every move is being watched. If you are not careful, you will be caught."

Everyone can guess with their toes what the reason for donating huge sums of money is. Earning so much money in a few days is totally against the law. If you didn't donate it, you would have been arrested long ago.

Good guy. Hum, don't misunderstand the word good guy.

Xiao Wei naturally heard their disdain: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it in the future. I will only practice in the city and try not to stay at home."

The implicit meaning of this sentence is: No one cares about me in the city, and it’s inconvenient at home. Is the town more powerful than the city?

Several old officials in the officialdom naturally heard it, but they did not discuss the topic in depth. Instead, they turned to Shi Mingsong, who was playing with the little girl at the door, and called him in to ask about school matters, placing high hopes on the two college students in the town.

The three of them refused the godfather's offer to keep them for dinner, and politely said they would come back to bother him again on the new day. Before leaving, he asked, "Regarding Lao Li's transfer, will the notice be sent after your wedding, or as soon as possible?"

Xiao Wei rushed to answer: "The notice will be sent out immediately. The sooner the better. Godfather will complete the handover tomorrow and focus on the wedding."

A follower smiled and said, "That's right. Only when you put down your burdens, you can enter the bridal chamber easily."

Xiao Wei nodded: "That's what I mean. Without an official position, you can have a peaceful life and a happy dream for your whole family."

After the cadres left, my godfather looked very bad and was barely holding on, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

Xiao Wei knew the reason and thought the town government would force him to stay and would not agree to his resignation. Unexpectedly, they approved it so quickly and even wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

This is no ordinary loss.

Xiao Wei chuckled: "You feel like you're not as important as you thought, right?"

Jiang Yingying was also a little depressed: "Damn it, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. From the establishment of the cooperative to now when it is just getting on the right track, there is nothing I haven't worried about. Isn't this just crossing the river and destroying the bridge, killing the donkey after it has done its work?"

Xiao Dao said with a smile: "This place has been like this since ancient times. When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away. When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. During the war, they gave you all kinds of honors. Now that the foundation is stable, they want you to be prevented from being complacent. Naturally, they hope that you can come down quickly. It would be best if you could retire, return to the fields, live in seclusion in the mountains, and live in peace with the world."

Shi Mingsong said: "If President Li doesn't resign, it will be difficult for them to oust him."

Jiang Yingying said angrily: "It was all this stinky girl's bad idea. Now, I guess no one will look up to your godfather anymore."

Xiao Wei laughed: "Only when you come down can you see your own weight, the true faces of the people around you, and whether the various emotions of family and friendship are true or false. Godfather, don't be discouraged. After this period of time, if you still want to be an official, I will definitely find a way to make you a higher official."

The godfather finally looked better: "Girl, I believe you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to become the president. It's just that I can't get used to it for a while. It's hard to be the president, and it will be even harder when you grow up."

Xiao Wei comforted him, "Being an official doesn't depend entirely on ability, it mainly depends on connections and backers."
