Safety Supervision Office on the first floor of Dashan Town Government.

Outside the window, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The air indoors is extremely dull and makes people breathless.

The ceiling fan above his head was whirring wildly. Lin Chen wiped his sweat and continued to type in front of the computer:

“The collapse of the talc mine in Qingshan Village, our town, caused no casualties, but our town government attached great importance to it. On July 25, Xu Shengtao, deputy secretary of the party committee and mayor of the town, personally interviewed the owner of the mine, Sun Qinghai, and sealed the mine.

After the rectification is completed and the acceptance is passed, construction will be released..."

After writing this, Lin Chen remembered something, shook his head, found the phone number of Wang Haixiang, director of the Work Safety Supervision Office, and called:

"Director Wang, good morning, this is Xiao Lin. Are you feeling better? I would like to ask for permission to write down in the report to the County Work Safety Bureau that Secretary Qian has approved the resumption of work?"

Wang Haixiang's feeble voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Lin, my blood pressure is high again. Don't call me again. If you have anything to do, just ask the leader to make a decision. Alas! I'm almost retired and my health is not good.

..."

Lin Chen put down the phone dejectedly and rubbed his head helplessly. At this moment, Wang Hongxia, the party and government office, walked in. She was holding several folders in her hands, wearing a tight black shirt on her upper body and a bright red skirt on her lower body.

It was so dazzling that I couldn't even open my eyes.

"What are you busy with, Xiaolin?"

"Sister Wang, I am busy writing a report on the disposal of the talc mine collapse. This Sun Qinghai has always dealt with safety production, and now he is looking for something to do for us..."

"Sun Qinghai? I just met him going to Secretary Qian's place. He ignored me when I said hello. Rich people just follow the sky. By the way, we have a new network copier, which can print and copy in one machine. It's great.

Used it!”

"I really envy you. Our copier always jams paper and we have to manually set the paper."

"This is called first-come-first-serve! Where is your Director Wang?"

"As soon as the accident happened at Qingshan Mine, Director Wang was hospitalized. His blood pressure was high and he had a severe headache!"

Wang Hongxia smiled, "There are three people in the Safety Supervision Office, the deputy director is in confinement, and the chief director gets sick whenever something happens, so he pushes you out to make a fuss, and you are famous throughout the town..."

There was a "bang" sound, and the sound of a cup falling to the ground seemed to be heard from upstairs.

Wang Hongxia's expression condensed, she pointed to the top of her head and lowered her voice: "That's Secretary Qian upstairs, right?"

Lin Chen nodded.

Wang Hongxia stuck out her tongue and made a naughty look: "Circuit the article to you, read it early, I'm leaving!" After saying that, she put the folder on Lin Chen's desk and left.

Before Lin Chen sat down, the phone on the table rang. It was Qian Wansheng, secretary of the party committee.

"Xiao Lin, come here."

Lin Chen quickly picked up his notebook and pen, ran up to the second floor, went to the door of the secretary's office, and knocked lightly three times.

"Come in."

Lin Chen pushed the door open and went in. The air conditioner in the room was turned on at full speed, and a gust of cold wind blew in front of him.

Facing the secretary's office is a boss's desk. In addition to computers and documents, there is also a solid wood elephant on the boss's desk. Next to the elephant is a high-imitation jade Ruyi. The two together mean "good luck and good luck".

On the wall behind is a piece of calligraphy with flying dragons and phoenixes: "Tranquility reaches far."

Qian Wansheng was stuffing several pages of materials into the crusher, while Sun Qinghai stood awkwardly aside with a bag under his arm. On the ground, a cup was already in pieces.

Qian Wansheng raised his head and said coldly to Sun Qinghai: "You go back first." Sun Qinghai nodded hurriedly, then nodded to Lin Chen, and walked out of the door gently.

Lin Chen put down his notebook, bent down to pick up the broken cup, and put it into the trash can.

"Stop working, Xiaolin, sit down, sit down."

Lin Chen carefully put half of his butt on the chair.

Qian Wansheng is fifty-two years old, with a burly build, a round face and tiger eyes, and he is really majestic. He has worked in Dashan Town from mayor to party committee secretary for six years. At this age, township party committee secretaries have no room for improvement.

His goal is to go to the city safely and become a bureau chief, and Qian Wansheng is no exception.

"Xiao Lin graduated from a provincial university, right? How many years have you been working?" Qian Wansheng said as he took out a cigarette, and just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he handed it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood up quickly, "Thank you, Secretary Qian, I don't smoke. I came to our town after graduating from college. I have been working in the Safety Supervision Office for four years."

Speaking of this, Lin Chen secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that he was a college student from a prestigious university in a provincial capital. At the beginning, he was passionate about serving his hometown and benefiting the people, so he gave up a high-paying job in a big city and said goodbye like flowers and jade.

My girlfriend came to this remote mountainous place to work as a township civil servant.

I thought that I would soon make some achievements, be appreciated by the leaders, move to a higher and more important position, and make greater contributions to the people and the local area.

But who wants to stay at the bottom for four years, as if they have taken root, motionless. In the final analysis, they have nothing to do with the family, and they will not stand in line to cling to the leadership. After so many years in the work safety supervision office, there is no chance to change their fortunes. Maybe they have.

There have been, but he missed them all.

The passion he had at the beginning was shattered by the cruelty of reality. Sometimes Lin Chen also wondered whether he still wanted to hold on to his original ideal, and whether he could hold on to it?

"Where do you live? What do your parents do?"

"My family lives in Tonghai County. My father used to be the director of the fruit tree station in our town and retired. My mother is a retired teacher from the county primary school."

Qian Wansheng blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "No wonder! Only excellent families can cultivate excellent children! In the past few years, I have put you in the Safety Supervision Office, and in fact I have reused you. Your Director Wang is not in good health.

You often call in sick, and you are actually in charge of the Work Safety Supervision Office. I know all this..."

Lin Chen's excited hands didn't know where to put them, "Thanks to Secretary Qian, my work is average because of the leadership's care."

"The next step is to promote a group of young cadres. You still have a lot of hope. What I ask of you is: be brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and share more worries and solve problems for the leaders."

"Secretary Qian, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Qian Wansheng exhaled a puff of smoke, as if recalling the past, "When I was your age, I was not as good as you are now! At that time, everything was ignorant, but later I mastered the secret of progress: follow the leader wholeheartedly,

Your legs must be diligent and your mouth must be tight.”

Lin Chen nodded hurriedly.

Qian Wansheng put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, took out another cigarette, balled up the empty cigarette case, threw it into the trash can, and asked casually, "Did you file the resumption report and my instructions that Sun Qinghai sent the day before yesterday?

No?"

"I made a copy and gave it to Sun Qinghai as you requested. The original copy was given to you, but it has not been archived yet."

"Well, remember, I didn't approve him to resume work, and you don't know about it either." Qian Wansheng stood up, and Lin Chen quickly stood up as well. Qian Wansheng patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job! I'll catch you later."

Print a copy of your resume and give it to me.”

Lin Chen had just walked out of Qian Wansheng's office and was excited about the secretary's encouragement today in the corridor, when suddenly a gust of cool breeze blew.

Lin Chen suddenly woke up and was a little surprised. Qian Wansheng was the unparalleled leader of Dashan Town. He held a high position in this three-acre area. He kept his word and always maintained the authority of the leader. The work of each station was carried out step by step.

When reporting at the top level, it was difficult for department staff to get in touch with Qian Wansheng, and he was no exception. When had he ever been so kindly encouraged and expressed condolences to him as he was today?

Lin Chen was a little puzzled. After several years of hard work in townships, he was no longer a young man with only passionate idealism. He felt a little weird about today's events, but he couldn't figure out why. It was a good thing that happened.

?Or a bad thing?

Lin Chen returned to the office in a daze and continued to write the report: "Next step, our town will strictly implement a series of instructions on production safety from the county committee and government, and further strengthen the supervision of production safety..."

After writing the report, he opened today's circulation document. The top one was a notice: "Notice on the Disposal of the Talc Mine Disaster in Dayang's Hometown." Before he could read it, the phone rang quickly again. Lin Chen picked it up.

Before he could speak, a roar came from the microphone that almost deafened him:
Chapter completed!
