"Husband, today is your birthday. Let's see what gift I'll buy for you?" Niu Zhenjie just returned home and saw his wife Feng Li greeting him with a smile, holding a big gift bag in his hand.

"What gift?" Niu Zhenjie asked with a curious smile.

"Do you open it yourself?" Feng Li said with a mysterious smile.

"What else can you keep me from selling my husband and wife?" Niu Zhenjie said with a smile, and took the gift package and opened the packaging outside. His face was stunned, and then a deep surprise appeared!

"This is..." Niu Zhenjie was stunned when he opened the outer packaging and saw the exquisite mahogany box inside. He found that there were three powerful golden characters "Huayintang" printed on it.

He opened the lid with some trembling trembling, and a pair of flutes lay quietly inside.

Huayintang’s best series! One C-tuning Flute and one F-tuning Bangdi! The smooth and exquisite flute body exudes an attractive color, making Niu Zhenjie’s eyes almost straight.

Niu Zhenjie has been working in the Cultural Bureau for half his life. He has no hobbies in literature and art, but he just likes to play the flute. However, the best flute he had bought before was just the flute master Dong Xuehua. There was only one, which was e-tuned, which cost him nearly a thousand yuan. Because of buying the flute, his wife Feng Li complained about him for a long time, saying that it would cost so much money to dig a few eyes on a bamboo, which was too wasteful.

But this time, his wife actually bought him this set of Huayin flute he had always dreamed of, and it was a top-quality series that was more upscale than the fine series! The retail price of this set of two flutes is 10,000 yuan nationwide! No matter how luxurious it is, he never thought of buying this set of flutes. Although he had talked to his wife more than once, it was just a talk!

But Niu Zhenjie didn't expect that his wife Feng Li would be willing to spend so much money today to buy him this set of flutes. He was so happy that he calmed down and became confused again.

"Wife, you don't have a fever, this flute is more than 10,000 yuan, are you just going to live?" Niu Zhenjie said, touching his wife Feng Li's forehead, as if verifying his words.

"Oh, you just have a fever! Haven't you liked this flute for a long time? You're going to have a birthday, so you bought it and gave it to you. Why are you unhappy?" Feng Li said to her husband with a smile.

"It's happy to be happy, but this... this is not like you, you can't eat or drink. According to your words, buying something is useless, how can you bear it..." Niu Zhenjie said in a daze.

"Hehe, husband, you don't know yet. We have a meeting today. Guess what news is?" Feng Li said with a mysterious smile.

"What news? Could it be that the salary has increased?" Niu Zhenjie said half-jokingly.

He also knew that there were a lot of rumors in Zhongxian Bar now that Zhongxian’s salary would rise sharply, but like his colleagues, he thought that this was another boring person who was playing a prank online.

"I really asked you to tell me the right thing, it's just a salary increase. This time it's accurate news! I went to the Education Bureau for a meeting today, and Chief Jia said it. It's time to arrive in three days! Guess how much this time it's increased?" Feng Li asked with a smile, her face full of excitement.

"Seeing that you are so happy, it probably has increased a lot. The country said that by the end of June, everyone can increase by 300 yuan. Could it be that this money has increased by a lot?" Niu Zhenjie asked.

"Husband, your imagination is too poor, guess harder?" Feng Li said with a smile and shook her head.

"Huh? Did you even send the car repairs in advance? I heard that everyone has 500!" Niu Zhenjie said excitedly.

"Husband, you are still too conservative. Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Let me tell you, this time, the county's administrative and public institutions personnel will generally increase by five times, and the reissue will start in January! We two have officially entered the ranks of monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan! And one reissue will be six months. The two of us will be able to pay 100,000 yuan together!" Feng Li said excitedly, and also made up a cross with both hands, with an excited and proud look on her face!

"It's over, I'm very sick!" Niu Zhenjie sighed when he heard his wife Feng Li's words, and then he wanted to reach out to touch her forehead, but she opened it.

"Niu Zhenjie, you are so boring. You really don't believe it. Why don't we make a bet?" Feng Li said angrily as she saw her husband disbelieve.

"Haha, what bets are you making? Isn't it all our money? Forget it, just think about this good thing. I like this birthday gift very much. Wife, thank you!" Niu Zhenjie said happily.

"Hmph, this is almost the same. But I will tell you that this salary increase is true, so just wait and see. We said it at the meeting today, and the account will be available in three days! If you don't believe it, just wait!" Feng Li said with a hum.

"Haha, okay, if we really pay so much money, we will go on a trip with our whole family! This time we will go to a farther place and go for a walk in the capital?" Niu Zhenjie said with a smile.

"Okay, I will visit Wangfujing and Xidan at that time. I will buy a lot of clothes!" Feng Li said excitedly.

"Hahahaha, okay, as long as you get the money, you can spend whatever you want!" Niu Zhenjie said with a smile. He thought that his wife was joking anyway, so why not just be happy with her.

My wife is an accountant. She said that the salary increase must have really increased, but she didn't believe it if she said the number she said, "I'm not convinced." It's five times higher at once? Who has ever seen such a salary increase?

Not only Niu Zhenjie, but many office workers in Zhongxian dare not think about it. Although the accountants of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Education Bureau and other relevant units "spread" the news and said it very affirmatively, this time it made people unbelievable.

The air conditioners have lost confidence in wage increases. A small increase of two or three hundred may fail, let alone a five-fold increase? This is too unreal!

Office workers in other counties, including urban areas, also mocked the bragging of Zhongxian people on the Internet. They increased by five times and earned more than 10,000 yuan a month? What a great dream? Do you really think you are from Yanjing? Civil servants in Yanjing can't make so much.

Amid the sound of ridicule and doubts around, even the accountants who had held meetings and passed the tables were a little suspicious. They were afraid that the dream would be really just a dream, and that it would become empty when they woke up.

Of course, there are also people who firmly believe that it will definitely increase, and many of them, like Feng Li, have even started to consume in advance!

On Wednesday morning, the Municipal Party Committee held a city-wide cadre meeting, and the top leaders of all counties and districts also attended the meeting. After collectively studying the spirit of the central government’s latest “Three Stricts and Three Realities” document, when the meeting was over, Secretary Song Gaoliang of the Municipal Party Committee smiled and joked in front of the city’s cadres: “Mingzhe, I heard that your Zhongxian will raise your salary, and it will increase by five times at once. This is amazing. If you do this, Zhongxian’s salary income will jump to the top in the city.”

Secretary Song's words immediately caused other cadres to burst into laughter.

Like the common people in the market, they do not believe that Zhongxian’s salary increase is so big. Besides, if there is such a big move, they must report to the city first.

Besides, it will increase by five times as soon as it rises? This is too unreliable! If they really dare to increase like this, it would be too nonsense and ignore the feelings of other counties and districts?

However, even Secretary Song did not expect that Zhongxian would really dare to do this. Because from the beginning to now, Zhongxian has not reported anything to them. So he was sure that the rumors of Zhongxian's salary increase this time were completely fake.

After hearing Secretary Song's words, Li Mingzhe laughed and said, "Our Zhongxian salary has always been at the back. It's okay to want to rise to a high point."

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone thought he was making jokes and making fun of himself. The financial difficulties in Zhongxian County are obvious to all. Although Huayin Pharmaceutical, which now holds a golden doll, has built a branch in their county. But if you think about it, you will know that such a factory is definitely a key enterprise that the state cares about. The background is so great that it can be fully understood. Although the place has been placed in their county, it probably has no real benefits except for its good reputation. Such things also exist in other counties and districts, which is called a big bullying store. For example, those state-owned enterprises, even if they are on your territory, people, money, and things are not your own. They are simply an independent kingdom.

Even if Zhongxian was engaged in education construction some time ago, saying that it was the money sponsored by Huayin Pharmaceutical, even if this is true, it was just that the company was kind-hearted and wanted to do good deeds and leave a name for it, and to make the "landlords" get some benefits. However, investing in education is one thing, and increasing wages is another thing. It is the county finance matter, and it has nothing to do with other companies!

Everyone thought Li Mingzhe was joking, and he smiled and didn't explain. Facts were better than words. Today was the third day. I guess he would receive a text message after the meeting and return to the account!

Li Mingzhe's organizational relationship is in the city, and it is logical that the salary should be paid in the city. However, he insisted on putting his salary relationship in the county, saying that the county's economic conditions were not good, and he had to share the joys and sorrows with the county cadres. He said it was quite nice, but in fact, the reason he did this was entirely because of Chu Yang. The latter put the salary relationship in Zhongxian, and of course he had to follow the example. Anyway, for him, it didn't matter where he put it, and he didn't expect to spend the salary.

But Li Mingzhe didn't expect that he was really right in this step. His salary income in Zhongxian is really an income that cannot be underestimated for him. He is a department-level leader of the county. His monthly salary income is 70,000 yuan. This time, the centralized reissue is more than 100,000 yuan. Although this is still not a big money for him, at least it is not a small amount!

Seeing the young county party secretary in Zhongxian walk out of the conference room with a smile, the cadres in other counties and districts showed disapproving smiles on their faces. But within a moment, the smiles on their faces disappeared one by one.

The confirmed news was faster than Li Mingzhe expected!

As soon as he left, the news that Zhongxian’s salary had risen sharply had been verified by countless people!

According to the plan, from statistical verification to calculation, it was a whole three days to issue the personal card, which means that the money could not be paid on Wednesday afternoon, but all the accountants in Zhongxian have been crazy in the past two days! People from the Finance Bureau and the Centralized Payment Center work overtime almost every day and night, not for anything else, just to fight for this breath!

Zhongxian has not raised its salary for so many years, and has been suppressed by other counties and districts, not to mention the city. Although the gap with counties and districts is not big, only a few hundred yuan, they can't swallow this!

Especially after the news of the salary increase this time came out, many people still questioned that they really fought this time, thinking that the sooner they finished their work, the better. Wait for the money to be transferred to the card, so that those people can envy it!

Tie Jiang, the director of the Finance Bureau, was also frightened by the enthusiasm of these accountants. In the end, he also had a long-lost passion. With a big stroke, he agreed to pay the subsidy salary in advance!

The accounts of the centralized payment center have been on high alert. At the same time, several major state-owned banks such as the Agricultural Bank of China, CCB, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which are responsible for the salary payment in the county have also begun to be on high alert! They all know that this is a major incident in Zhongxian. Although they have no direct affiliation with the county government, how many units in Zhongxian pay their wages through them determine how much performance they can achieve, which is unscrupulous!

And those employees working in the bank were also full of emotion. They used to have an extremely superiority in this small county. When ordinary office workers were still working hard to earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, they had already lived a rich life with high salaries of 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. However, this time, they would be surpassed by these office workers in Zhongxian! In addition to envying, they secretly admired the two young new leaders in Zhongxian, why are they so courageous? They dared to do it!

At 11:30 in the morning, when I was about to get off work half an hour after Tiejiang gave the order, the staff of the centralized payment center who had been waiting for it immediately started to operate. In less than five minutes, one 100 million yuan of money was paid to the special account for salary payment of major banks!

At this moment, the employees of major banks also showed their professional qualities. Perhaps the attention to the salary increase this time was too high, so they did not dare to neglect the slightest operation. Even the Agricultural Bank, which has always been slow to handle business, showed rare high efficiency!

At 11:45, there are fifteen minutes left before getting off work. Mobile text messages from all office workers in Zhongxian began to ring one after another!

"Ding! You have a new message!" Niu Zhenjie, who was about to get off work, heard the message prompt on his phone, took out the old-fashioned Android phone that was already worn, opened the unlocking interface and looked at the information content.

"Your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China account has an income of 6222020546256xxxxxx. The balance is RMB."

Looking at this simple instant account arrival message, Niu Zhenjie thought he had read it wrong at first. He wiped his eyes and read the text message carefully again, reading it word by word, especially the long list of numbers. He read it several times, and finally confirmed that it was true!

"This...is this the repaid...the salary?" Niu Zhenjie looked at the text message in disbelief. Although his wife's words were still in his ears two days ago, he did not believe that this was true until this moment!

At this moment, his colleagues around him also received notifications from mobile phone text messages. Suddenly, cheers and screams came one after another, and the entire unit instantly became a sea of ​​joy!

Such situations are happening in various units, schools, and townships across the county!

Office workers have never felt such happiness for a moment. The embarrassment of rising prices and not rising wages has made them unable to raise their heads in front of relatives and friends. Even the most ordinary worker can contempt and look down on their income, but from this moment on, everything has passed!

For them, this is not just a simple increase in salary, it allows them to regain their dignity and be recognized again!

After receiving the text message of a salary increase, a text message followed, which was still sent by major banks, but this time it was like this:

"Dear colleagues, I am Chu Yang, the magistrate of Zhongxian County. Your work has been controversial for a long time. You do more, earn less, and have suffered a lot of criticism. Here, please allow me to speak to all the comrades who work at the grassroots level on behalf of the Zhongxian Government: Thank you for your hard work! I know that after the increase in money, many people will say irrelevantly. It doesn't matter, I am here! Let me put my words here. As long as everyone works hard and deserves this position, the Zhongxian Government will definitely deserve everyone. This salary increase is just the beginning, and a more exciting life is still to come! June 1st is here, I wish you all a happy Children's Day!"

Several long passages were sent, obviously through the bank's text message system. At this moment, more than 10,000 ordinary office workers in Zhongxian were reading this text message silently. They read it word by word. As they read it, many of them became wet.

If a large amount of money was just ecstatic to the account before, then this passage touched the softest string in their hearts.

Especially the very domineering sentence "If the money has increased, some people may say it, it doesn't matter, I'm here!" This very domineering sentence instantly made many people cry, and many young girls saw this and screamed directly: "Chu County, you are so man!"

They cried, laughed, shouted, not just to make more money, but to be understood by the great happiness. This is more important than money!

The last sentence of this text message also made many people laugh. Chu County is so funny that he actually wishes the whole county a happy Children's Day and treats everyone as children?

But speaking of this, celebrating Children's Day is also a good choice. No matter how old they grow, how many people don't want to play as carefree as children? It's just that the pressure of life has made them lose this idea.

It seemed as if it was cooperating with this text message. Before getting off work, all units in Zhongxian received a unified notice from the county party committee office: All units in the county will have a half-day holiday in the afternoon!

There is no reason, but this notice is enough to make all office workers cheer loudly again! It’s so powerful! I’ll send money and have a holiday, and the happiness index is rising rapidly!

Minsheng Street in Zhongxian is a famous restaurant and entertainment street. There are many large and small restaurants, bathing, KTV, etc., which are very popular. However, due to the influence of the central government’s eight bans, the business of many big hotels is not easy to do, but the business of those snack bars is more popular.

However, the scene at noon today completely stunned the owners of the hotel. As soon as it was time to get off work, one car after another was driving towards here. Slowly, both sides of the street were full, but it was still impossible to stop. Some cars were even parked in the middle of the road. Many people came here on foot. These people were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like ordinary office workers, but they only had the same expression on their faces: happy!

"Boss, one of the two pounds of lobsters!"

"Sorry, sir."

“This can be there.”

"Nothing really is."

"Forget it, I'm not kidding anymore. Just put it on any delicious food!"

...

There are many conversations like this in major restaurants and restaurants!

Finally, I don’t have to consider being short of money. I can finally let go and get together with my friends happily. I can finally stand up in front of my lover!

This afternoon, many people were drunk and started singing and dancing when they were drunk, venting their emotions in their hearts...

In the afternoon, the shopping malls of all sizes and big cities in Zhongxian were crowded! Countless office workers were traveling 30% or 50% of them, or took their families to buy goods. This scene made the operators happy. Many merchants' operating income in this afternoon exceeded the previous month!

And the carnival on the Internet is a different scene.
To be continued...
