Rebirth in 1976 begins with educated youth

Chapter 152 Meeting Zhuang Yan by chance

That morning, just as Ye Xiangdong left Building [-], Vice Governor Ye came to Building [-] in person. The news that Qiu Mingren had become a member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangning Provincial Committee and the secretary of Ye Xiangdong, the executive deputy governor of the provincial government, spread instantly on the third floor of Building [-]. .

Immediately afterwards, it spread in every room on every floor of Building [-].

In less than an hour, the news spread like wildfire in every corner of the compound.

When Qiu Mingren left Yang Qing's office and returned to his office seat, many people were already in the big office, waiting to congratulate him.

From that moment on, people in Building [-] and the courtyard immediately changed their names when they saw Qiu Mingren, from "Xiao Qiu" to "Secretary Qiu" in an instant.

……

Faced with the sudden changes, Qiu Mingren remained calm and remained humble and friendly with his colleagues as always.

He kept reminding himself in his heart: the more senior a person is, the more humble, cautious, low-key, and the more normal a person must maintain.

There is sky beyond sky, mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.

In this compound, there is also the secretary of the No. [-] head of the provincial government.

On the Provincial Party Committee side, there are also the No. [-] Secretaries of Jiangning Province and the Secretary to the No. [-] Head of the Provincial Party Committee, and...

……

After getting off work that evening, he came to the office canteen as usual.

The government canteen has always been the main place for ordinary staff of government agencies to get to know and communicate after work.

On such occasions, most of the topics discussed were gossip and gossip in the compound.

Qiu Mingren didn't like and wasn't used to participating in discussions on such topics, so he always took it back to the dormitory to eat after finishing his meal.

When he walked into the agency cafeteria, he obviously found that many people's views on him had changed.

Many people whom I had no impression of before appeared out of nowhere.

These people kept saying hello to him.

Many people took the initiative to introduce themselves: "Hello, Secretary Qiu, I am from the General Affairs Department."

"Hello, Secretary Qiu, I'm from the Information and Telecommunications Department."

"Secretary Qiu, hello, I also graduated from Ningcheng University. We are alumni."

"Secretary Qiu, I am also level 77."

Qiu Mingren kept nodding to them, not daring to be negligent, not daring to miss a reply, not daring to miss a courtesy.

For those who have made an impression, you should not only reciprocate and be polite, but also say a few words to show that you know or are familiar with the other person...

As usual, Qiu Mingren took the lunch box and packed a meal, ready to take it back to the dormitory to eat.

On the way back to the dormitory, I met Lin Xiaoli and saw her riding a dark green Flying Pigeon 26-inch sports car towards me.

He quickly stopped and called out enthusiastically: "Sister Lin."

Lin Xiaoli saw Qiu Mingren from a distance and knew that he was going to the canteen to get food, so she rode up to him and stopped and said, "Secretary Qiu, are you getting food?"

"Sister Lin, why are you making noise too? Don't you feel sour?"

"Starting next Monday, you will be the secretary to the No. [-] head of this compound, and you will go to work in Building No. [-].

Everyone has changed their names and attitudes towards you. If I don't follow suit, wouldn't it be appropriate? ! "

"Sister Lin, if you are like this, it seems that I will have to call you Section Chief Lin from now on.

Also, I just got paid this month, and I originally planned to treat you and your comrades to Huaiyang cuisine on the weekend. Do you think you should go or not? "

"Of course I'll go! I've already agreed with my comrades."

"Okay! Then you should call me Xiaoqiu from now on, and I will still call you Sister Lin."

"Okay! As long as you don't mind, I'm fine."

Qiu Mingren smiled and said, "Are you ready to go out?"

Lin Xiaoli said: "My comrades will come over in a while, and I will go out to buy some food. If you don't mind, come to my room later and let's have a few drinks."

Qiu Mingren said embarrassedly: "I have already bought food. You should go with your comrades. I will treat you to the weekend."

"Okay! It's up to you, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoli drove away quickly.

Back in the dormitory, Qiu Mingren thought while eating.

I am from Jiangnan Province, and I don’t know many people in this city now.

In addition to the university classmates who work in Ningcheng and a few teachers with good connections at the university, and Zhang Xiaoping, who was assigned to the Development Research Center together, there are also colleagues in the research center who have been with him for less than a month, but there are not many whom I can get along with.

During this period, the person with the most contact was Lin Xiaoli.

Lin Xiaoli is enthusiastic and straightforward. I have a good impression of her. Sometimes I feel like she is like a sister.

They were both colleagues in the office, lived in the same compound, and were neighbors.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If anything happens, you can still look after each other.

Regarding Lin Xiaoli's invitation just now, it's not that Qiu Mingren doesn't want to participate. There's nothing wrong with having one more acquaintance.

Besides, I'm in a good mood today. How boring is it to be alone?I just find this occasion inconvenient.

This is different from meeting three people in a restaurant outside.

They are both comrades-in-arms and friends. The two of them are eating and drinking in the room, and I, as the third party, are by the side. Many topics cannot be discussed, which not only makes me feel embarrassed, but also makes others feel embarrassed.

I was thinking about it while I was eating, and I finished my meal in a while.

He picked up the cutlery, opened the room, and walked to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor.

After washing the dishes, I was going to go back to the room and read a book for a while.

I will officially take office next Monday. No matter what, there is no harm in being well prepared.

At this time, I saw a young woman standing at the top of the stairs, leaning on the handrail of the stairs with both arms, holding a book in both hands, and reading under the dim light of the corridor.

"Hello! Who are you looking for?" Qiu Mingren walked to the young woman and asked.

"Oh! It's okay! I'm waiting for someone." The young woman said, glanced at Qiu Mingren, and continued to read the book in her hand.

"Excuse me, what are you waiting for..."

"Waiting for a friend, she went out and will be back in a moment." This time, the young woman didn't even raise her head.

"If you don't mind, why don't you sit and wait in my room? The lighting in this corridor is too dim..."

Hearing this, the young woman raised her head and stared at Qiu Mingren for a while: "Yes, that's right, which room are you in?"

Qiu Mingren took two steps and opened the door of the room: "This is it..."

The young woman was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay!"

With that said, he followed Qiu Mingren into the room.

Qiu Mingren then pointed to the chair next to the desk and said, "Sit down! You're welcome! Can I ask you what book to read?"

"A book for middle school students, a chemistry textbook."

Qiu Mingren couldn't help but glance at the book in the young woman's hand: "Are you... preparing to take the college entrance examination?"

The young woman nodded: "I took the test once last summer, but I didn't meet my ideals, so I gave up. I plan to take the test again this summer."

Qiu Mingren then looked at her again: "Where do you work?"

"At the Provincial Department of Transportation."

"What work?"

"Ordinary cadres in the office, doing odd jobs."

"Drink some water. What major are you going to take?" Qiu Mingren brought a glass of water to the young woman.

"Computer major."

"This major is good and will be a very popular field in the future. Are you interested in mathematics?"

"Yes! It turns out that when I was in middle school, I had a good foundation in mathematics."

"Which university are you going to take?"

"Qinhua University, last summer's college entrance examination, I was just shy of the admission score of Qinhua University. I just missed it. I won't give up."

"Ha! It seems that you were able to go to college last year, but you gave up on your own?"

"Well! I won't go unless it's Qin Hua!"

"Awesome! My math foundation is not good, so I could only take the liberal arts test."

"I have two friends who were admitted to Qinhua University in 77. One was admitted to the Department of Physics and the other was admitted to the Department of Politics. I have already boasted in front of them so much that I have to admit to Qinhua University."

"The one who got admitted to Qinhua University in 77? Are you talking about the one who won the top prize in the science college entrance examination in Jiangning Province? His name was Pei...yes! Pei Xiaohong."

"Yes, what? Do you know her?"

"I don't know. I was a candidate in Jiangnan Province. When I went to Ningcheng to go to college, I heard that in 77, two top students in the liberal arts college entrance examination from Jiangning Province went to Yenching University, and a top scorer in the science college entrance examination and a No. 2 in the liberal arts college entrance examination went to Qin. Hua University.

Because they were all educated youths who jumped in line, I was particularly impressed. "
