The beautiful land of Jiangnan, the imperial state of Jinling.

Jinling is an ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with outstanding people and beautiful land. Even in the late 1970s, it was still full of flowers and crowds. The thick ancient city walls and the spacious Qinhuai River made Luo Daji and I, who came from a small place in the deep mountains, dizzy. I felt that my legs were not growing on my body and I couldn't move the road at all. Looking at the tall buildings of more than ten floors, we were all eyes wide open. Luo Daji patted his chest and said to me loudly: "Erdan, my goodness, I never expected that there was such a tall building in this world. How did it build it? It wouldn't fall down?"

Compared to Luo Daji, who had never appeared in Mali Mountain, I still have some knowledge, but it is also limited. Standing on this crowded street, I suddenly felt that "the world is so big, and I am so small" and it was overwhelming.

The new unit that Principal Dai arranged for me was the Jiangning District Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau. This was his former unit and he had an old relationship. From this point of view, he took good care of me.

This made me very grateful. Although I paid the price of four talismans, I got the opportunity to graduate and a stable and decent job. These were things I never dared to think about before, especially the iron rice bowl, which made me really feel the strong friendship of Principal Dai. When I remembered his earnest teachings when I left, I felt the urge to cry. However, in addition, I had a little concern, that if Principal Dai knew that the talisman was no one to use except me, I wonder if it would be so good to me.

Jinling is very vast. Luo Daji and I have been wandering around for a long time. Finally, we found my new unit. Looking at the four-story building and the closed door, I swallowed, and then let Luo Daji take the fat girl to wait for me in the shade of the tree outside.

I was nervous, but the reporting process was not complicated. After I showed the letter of introduction and identity certificate to the guard at the gate, the old man hung up a phone call, and then a young girl in her twenties came from the building, with a ponytail, a white face and a few cute little freckles. After she greeted the old man outside the door, she led me in. The girl was a relatively enthusiastic person, introduced herself and said that she was from the personnel department, and her name was Ouyang Hanxue, just call her Ouyang. I had already said hello to me for my transfer, and she would go through the entry procedures for me.

I followed this elder sister to the personnel department on the second floor and found that there was no one in the office. After asking, I realized that the bureau had not recovered for a long time and the staff was short of people. Their section chief went to the provincial bureau to do business. The other two clerks were one of the child was sick and the other took a long sick leave, and she was the only one here.

However, the benefits of having few people are small. Ouyang asked me to fill out the form and asked me to sit in the office for a while. She took the registration form and files to find the leader to sign.

I just came here and didn't understand any rules. I naturally did what others said. After Ouyang went out, I subconsciously looked up the corridor. I felt that there were so few people in this bureau. I just came upstairs and saw almost no one, empty, like a ghost building. However, I just estimated this in my heart and dared not show it. I just waited so stupidly. After twenty minutes, Ouyang came back and told me that the leaders in the bureau were only Deputy Director Wu Ya and Wu. Hearing that the newcomer came, I asked him to take him to see him.

I followed Ouyang and came to Deputy Director Wu's office on the fourth floor. When I walked in, I saw another Mediterranean uncle with a big belly and poked me with the small eyes in the crack.

I went up to say hello in a proper manner. Deputy Director Wu pointed to the files on the table and asked me: "Chen Erdan, 18 years old?"

I felt nervous. This file was made by Principal Dai before. I don’t know why he wanted to make me three years older, but he always had reasons for doing things. Deputy Director Wu asked this, and I could only nod and say yes. I didn’t expect that the uncle was actually shaking his head and saying to me: “Well, Wushan School is really unreliable. Graduates of such young age are all stuffed to us. Look at you, you are still from the junior class. This degree is probably just a junior high school student? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t

Deputy Director Wu's disgusting look made me feel that the new unit may not be as well treated as I imagined. Faced with his slander, I felt that if I reported my true age of under fifteen to him, would this person be blown up immediately?

I said some clichés in a regular manner, nothing more than working hard and working hard, and I will never let down the expectations of the leaders. Deputy Director Wu asked a few more questions, then buried his head in signing a few words, and then said coldly: "I will stare at you for one year in the probation period. If your grades are too poor during the year-end evaluation, then no matter who you leave, it will not be useful." After signing the letter, he handed the form to Ouyang, and then never looked at me again.

I walked out of Deputy Director Wu's office in a daze and followed Ouyang downstairs. Ouyang, who was quite enthusiastic just now, seemed a little cold now. He handed me a note and told me that the second department of the Operations Department where I joined was on the second room on the left hand floor. With the note, I could go to the logistics department to get the canteen ticket and dormitory key. As for the work permit, it will be sent to me in two days. After explaining this, she threw me her ponytail and threw me directly at the entrance of the stairs.

This attitude with a strong contrast between the front and back was obviously influenced by Deputy Director Wu. I was stunned for a moment, then walked down with a wry smile to find the department I joined.

When I arrived at the ground, I saw the door was covered with a faint laughter and a burst of joy came from inside. I heard that the atmosphere was good, so I raised my feet and walked in. There were four people in this spacious office, three men and one woman, one of whom had an eyebrow slid down to both sides. The young man with very interesting appearance was telling jokes here. Everyone was laughing so hard that they were lying on their backs. When they saw the people coming, they all looked over. I was staring at them. I nodded respectfully to everyone, and then said hello: "Seniors, I am the new comrade from Cory, named Chen Erdan, please take care of you."

As soon as I finished speaking my name, several people were happy. A middle-aged man in his forties and quite mature appearance stood up and came over to shake hands with me. He shook and said, "Welcome. I heard that the people from above were going to be transferred here, but I didn't expect to come here today. Hey, why didn't anyone bring you here?"

Just as I was about to explain, the man took my shoulder and came to the middle of the office and introduced to me: "Kong Zicheng, Lao Kong, he is an old comrade in our department; this is your eldest sister Xiang Rong, and this one, Lu Zijie, Xiao Lu, who came here a year earlier than you-by-by, my name is Shen Chong..." After Shen Chong said this, I immediately greeted him one by one: "Brother Kong, Sister Xiang, Brother Lu, Brother Shen, Hello everyone..."

Compared to the indifference of Deputy Director Wu's office, it was quite enthusiastic here. After some greetings, I became familiar with the staff of the second department of the Operations Office. I learned that in addition to them, we also had a section chief and two other clerks, but they went to other places to do business, so they were not here at the moment. Lao Shen is the oldest here, and he is the oldest when the section chief is away. After learning that I had just come to report from other places and did nothing, I directly approved the leave and asked me to go to the logistics department to handle the residence properly, then take a break for two days before coming to work.

With such an enlightened leader, I naturally had no idea how to thank him. After saying goodbye to the people in the second department, I went to the logistics department to get a meal ticket, and then took it to the single clerk's dormitory.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because there were too few people in the bureau, I actually got a separate room. Although it was a tube building, it was a surprise enough. On that day, I led Luo Daji and Fat Niu into the dormitory, which could be considered as a home in the Jinling area. In the next few days, Luo Daji went out to find things every day, while I was in the second department and became familiar with the situation. It was okay if I didn’t understand it. When I really went deeper, I realized that the so-called action department was actually a new air, completely different from the work team led by Captain Zhang. The ten-year wave destroyed too many things, and a lot of work was in a state of stagnation. Although I was working hard to recover, everything was in the pioneering stage, and there was no clue at the top and bottom.

I can’t find a clue, that is, I am very idle. Every day, I am like a headless fly, not knowing what I do. Look at others, holding newspapers, drinking tea, and leisurely wandering, which makes me confused.

I am very idle here, while Luo Daji is very busy. This is because I have a job, but he has nothing. He came out with great ambition at the beginning, but if he couldn't find something to do and went back in shame, wouldn't it be embarrassing? With this idea, he went out almost every morning, went home very late, lying down and slept soundly, and didn't know what he was busy with.

I looked for him several times, but I couldn't explain it clearly. I watched people unload goods on the dock and ran errands with people at Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. However, at the end of September, one night, he came back excitedly, grabbed my arm, and asked excitedly: "Edan, guess who did I meet today?"
