Lucheng Finance Bureau.

Xing Lei hung up the phone and sighed with relief.

When he first came to Lucheng after graduating from Huahai, he was ambitious and passionate about to work hard in Lucheng, but after more than a year of coming here, he found that his ideal was too illusory.

Almost every month, companies are going bankrupt or laying off employees, and even the city's largest taxpayer for heavy industry is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Even companies can't survive, but where can they still have money to pay taxes to the city.

Without tax revenue, the pressure from the Finance Bureau can be imagined.

As the director of the bureau’s office, Xing Lei feels that he is celebrating the New Year every day.

Life is like a year.

Ring--

The phone on the table suddenly rang again, and the harsh phone ringing sound was like a midnight ringing that made Xing Lei feel heartbroken.

No, in the past year when Xing Lei was the director of the office, the most calls he received were asking for money. All departments were like collecting debts, and they were almost driving people crazy.

I thought I was a full-level cadre because of my college degree. Until now, Xing Lei still doesn’t understand that besides his college degree, he can directly be promoted to the full-level cadre, probably because this is the position of director.

"Hello."

"Xiao Xing? I am Liu Shengli. Director Zhang of the Education Bureau is here. Please welcome me."

I'm a mom.

Xing Lei wailed in his heart.

Zhang Keqin from the Education Bureau was famous for having difficulty in childbirth. Every time he came to the bureau to ask for money, he would almost cry, make a fuss and hang himself.

But where is his job placed? Every time the Finance Bureau encounters him asking for money, he has a headache.

"Director Liu..."

You don’t dare to see me, so you ask me to see you, so you won’t blame me like this.

"Xiao Xing, I believe in your ability. Oh, I'll be here soon after the meeting."

“Dudu…”

The phone was hung up.

Xing Lei squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, and walked out of the office helplessly.

"Where is Liu Shengli? Let Liu Shengli come to see me. No matter how hard he is, he cannot educate him. Even the teachers' salaries are arrears. I will ask you, the director of the Finance Bureau."

"Director Zhang. You are here. Director Liu is in the meeting and will come later."

"You go and call him, and he will have a meeting as soon as I come. Who will I miss?"

“…”

"Director Xing."

“…”

As Xing Lei arrived, the clerk greeted him and ran away.

Xing Lei had to call Zhang Keqin with a bitter heart, and he started to add tea, water and hand over the cigarette.

"Director Zhang. Don't worry. If you have any questions, please tell me first. Director Liu will be a retail investor, and I will report it to him."

"Tell me? Will it work?"

"The weather is hot. You can have a little tea first! Let's discuss the solution. What do you think?"

“…”

"Xiao Xing. You are a college student. You should know that knowledge is the primary productive force, right?"

"right."

"How to spread knowledge? It's right to rely on teachers to guide students to learn?"

“Yes!”

"Then tell me, if this teacher is starved to death, who will educate the children to study?"

“…”

"I know you can't make the decision. Where is Liu Shengli? I'll go to him and talk to him."

"Director Liu, don't make things difficult for me."

"I knew that bastard was hiding from me. Xiao Xing, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. The principals of sixteen schools have blocked my doorstep. The teachers have not paid their wages for six months. How do you ask them to live?"

“…”

"Mr. Liu, there is really no money in finance now. You also know the economic situation in the city now..."

“…”

"I don't care. That's the matter in your bureau. If you can't solve it, call me Liu Shengli down."

“…”

“…”

"You think this is OK? Half a month, no, give us another half month, and we will think of other solutions. If you have money at that time, I will be the first to call to notify you."

"What kind of way? Don't fool me."

"I heard from the director that the city is discussing the Lucheng Shipyard with a Japanese trading company. If the agreement is made, maybe it will be rich."

“…”

“…”

"Xiao Xing, you are a college student and you should know the importance of education."

"I understand, understand. When the money is in place, I will be the first to keep the money for the Education Bureau."

“…”

“…”

Finally, when Xing Lei's lips were almost dry, Zhang Keqin cursed and left. Looking at his back, Xing Lei seemed to be a deflated ball. When he returned to the office, he suddenly collapsed on the chair.

This director is so hard to be.

Ring--

The damn phone suddenly rang again.

It was like a nightmare waking up, Xing Lei really wanted to grab the phone and throw it away. He came to ask for money every day, and he would not let people live.

"Hey. Did you look for Director Xing? He went out just now."

"Oh! Xing Lei is not here. Can you tell me about it later? Let me tell you Lu Xinyue to ask him to get off work and go to the Strait Hotel to attend the party."

"The Grand Squad Leader?"

"Xing Lei? Haha..."

“…”

“…”

After hanging up the phone, Xing Lei's face almost blushed to the base of his neck.

Awkward!

It's so embarrassing.

Through the phone, he could tell how happy Lu Xinyue was smiling.

I was probably making a big fool this time. With Lu Xinyue's thoughts, I must have guessed why I said I was gone.

A kind of shame that had never been before made Xing Lei feel ashamed.

On the year of graduation, the students were all ambitious to write each other's blessings and dreams on the guestbook and commemorative cards.

Xing Lei was no exception. On the greeting card for Lu Xinyue, he spent all night writing down his most sincere blessings and firm ideals.

That night, Xing Lei almost suffered from insomnia.

Because, like many boys in the class, he secretly likes Lu Xinyue, but for several years, he has never dared to confess his love.

Lu Xinyue's family is so rich that she brings a beeper to school, and every piece of clothing she wears is a number that ordinary people dare not imagine.

He is beautiful and smart, and he is still a squad leader.

Xing Lei didn't dare to think too much.

He didn't know how much courage he mustered when he sent out his graduation greeting card, so he filled the back of the waves.

What a shame!

It's really a shameful person.

Covering his forehead, Xing Lei regretted the stupid things he did.
