"Lao Fang, what are you thinking? You're so trance." Liu Caihua, an old neighbor of Fang Dawei who was passing by, saw Fang Dawei staring blankly by the river and couldn't help but come over and ask. "Didn't your Chu Huai apply for the full scholarship for studying abroad? What else do you have to worry about?"

Liu Caihua really envies Fang Dawei. Almost both of them entered the No. 26 base after graduation. Today, Fang Dawei became the director. Liu Caihua is only a senior engineer and has not obtained any position. His daughter is not good at playing everywhere. She has had an average academic performance since she was a child. After graduating from high school, she barely went to a second-tier school. Not to mention going abroad, she is grateful to be able to get a diploma and degree certificate steadily.

Although his daughter looks good and looks good, Fang Dawei's family's Fang Chuhuai has always been optimistic about him since childhood. Earlier, Liu Caihua had a little idea of ​​becoming a relative of Fang Dawei. However, although Liu Caihua's daughter and Fang Chuhuai grew up in the same courtyard since childhood, they seemed to have no childhood sweethearts at all. Now Fang Dawei made a big fuss to study in a famous American university with full scholarship, which made Liu Caihua completely die.

In Liu Caihua's opinion, Fang Dawei should be very satisfied, but why do he look very troubled today?

Fang Dawei woke up in horror when he heard such a familiar voice. There was an ulterior motive in his heart. Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance at this moment. He took a deep breath, calmed down his boiling mind and then slowly turned his head over and showed a reluctant smile.

"Old Liu, it's you. It's your turn to buy vegetables today?" He looked at Liu Caihua twisting all kinds of vegetables with both hands, and asked questions.

"Yes, Huihui's mother has a lot of things today, so let me come out and buy some," said Liu Caihua, "I think your face is a bit bad. Oh, you smoked the cigarette butts on this floor? Haven't you quit smoking early? You smoked so much cigarette at once, no wonder you look so bad in your spirit."

Liu Caihua discovered a cigarette butt in front of Fang Dawei, and the questions in his heart became deeper. "I said Lao Fang, what else do you have to worry about? Now my son is promising. He should have given up his mind and prepared to enjoy the rest of his life."

Seeing that Liu Caihua had not forgotten the question just now, Fang Dawei couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Various thoughts quickly turned into his mind. Just when he was so anxious that he couldn't speak, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "This is not a matter of work that makes people feel panicked." Fang Dawei thought of an excellent excuse.

"My son is promising now, but he looks like he is going to be laid off," Fang Dawei said with a wry smile, "Old Liu, how much did you pay for the bonus this time?"

"Twenty thousand is more than 30,000, haha, you are the director, it should be more than 30,000, right?" Liu Caihua smiled and said with a smile. The bonus was really great this time, and almost reached the level of year-end bonus.

"It's more than 30,000? I think about it." Fang Dawei really smiled bitterly and sad from the bottom of his heart this time. "It's only 10,000 yuan and just got zero! People don't believe it when they say it. I think I'm very dissatisfied with my work. This bonus is lower than most of the R&D personnel in my department."

Liu Caihua did not expect that the leading cadres would carry forward their style this way. In his opinion, although the previous announcement stated that the bonus was mainly aimed at front-line scientific researchers and was distributed according to the contribution and role of R&D personnel in the project. This principle was not unavailable to the base before, but in the end, leading cadres at all levels took the lead, so Liu Caihua believed that this time would be no exception.

Who knew that the base leader was really serious this time. Fang Dawei, a department-level cadre, actually only got half of his bonus. No wonder Fang Dawei was so worried.

Liu Caihua knew that since Fang Dawei became a leading cadre a few years ago, he had basically never done R&D work, and he completely stepped down from the front line of R&D to concentrate on his leadership work. This path was originally the best way for R&D personnel. After all, young people who do R&D work have more advantages than older people, especially because their knowledge updates are very fast, and if they don’t study for two or three years, they are basically completely out of date.

Liu Caihua never expected that the base leaders had such a great inclination to the front line of R&D. No wonder Fang Dawei now has such a great sense of crisis. For a moment, Liu Caihua could feel emotion, and Fang Dawei didn't know what to say.

This is a new trend for a base. Now that you have done so by paying bonuses, no one knows whether you will continue to do this in the adjustment of leading cadres’ positions. If middle-level cadres like Fang Dawei who have abandoned their business are adjusted, it will be much more miserable than if they keep doing R&D like this.

Liu Caihua thought he had fully understood Fang Dawei's psychology, so Fang Dawei was so troubled by this nameless river. But Liu Caihua wanted to find some comfort and didn't know how to speak.

"Lao Fang, don't be troubled. No matter how much you think about work, it's useless. Perhaps the superiors have no intention of touching the leading cadres. After all, it is a person who has contributed most of his life to the base. The base can wipe out these things. I don't think you have to worry so much."

After a pause for a while, Liu Caihua put on some uncomfortable words of comfort, "Let's go, go and have a few drinks at our house today. I happened to buy some cat fish. This thing is the best to drink."

"Thank you, Lao Liu, you can go there first. I'll walk for a while and then go back. This matter is too disgraceful. Lao Liu, don't tell us Xiao Li, otherwise I will have to suffer her face when I go back." After Fang Dawei cleverly exposed this matter, he let Liu Caihua keep his abnormality secret without any trace.

"Don't worry, I must keep my mouth shut at my younger brother and sister. I will not mention it to anyone." Liu Caihua said very understandingly. It is the most taboo for men to mention it at home. Liu Caihua himself is the biggest victim. He is often compared with Fang Dawei at home by his wife, which can be said to be deeply harmed. "You can walk around for a while and don't forget to come to my house for a few drinks, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, okay, Old Liu, then I'm really rude." Seeing that Liu Caihua did invite him warmly, Fang Dawei had to agree, "I'll say hello to our Xiao Li in a while and come over."

"What else can I say hello? Just come together. Your Chu Huai doesn't know if you have time. If you have time, come together. Our two families have not been together for a long time. From now on, you Chu Huai will go abroad to study, and there will be even fewer days to get together." Liu Caihua sincerely invited him. The two families have a lot of contact on weekdays, and often invite each other to have something delicious, so Liu Caihua's invitation is not too strange.
