Chapter 73: A New Journey

Seeing Xia Li come in, Lu Fan hurriedly asked: "Did you put down the 'things'?"

Xia Li shook his head and described the scene just now.

Lu Fan thought for a while and comforted: "I think there is still hope, I can only wait for the result, there is no other way, you put your mentality well, if you get it, it's my luck; if you lose it, it's my fate!"

"Okay, Brother Fan, sorry to trouble you, I'll go back first."

Career unit recruitment, political review and physical examination ended on August 10th, but it was almost the end of the month, and the assignment results were slow to come out because it was time for the eight immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers. Parents tried every means to find a good unit for their children, causing the assignment list to change constantly.

Secretary Wang Hongtao was the leader in charge and was really overwhelmed. So he cut the Gordian knot and determined the final list on September 1st. After seeking the opinions of the Party Secretary and County Head, he submitted it to the Standing Committee for deliberation.

The topics that can be submitted to the Standing Committee must be mature topics that have been carefully considered and balanced the interests of all parties, so the "Ningyang County Career Unit Recruitment Assignment Plan" passed smoothly without any waves.

When leaders hold meetings, secretaries must wait outside the meeting room to avoid leaders needing certain materials on a whim, so Lu Fan and a group of secretaries saw the assignment list for the first time, ecstatic in their hearts, and immediately called Xia Li, asking him to thank Executive Vice County Head Yang Chuanbei after the meeting, and at the same time sighed that nothing is more useful than money!

Xia Li's thanks went very smoothly. Yang Chuanbei accepted the kindness half-pushed and half-accepted, and also encouraged Xia Li to study seriously and work hard after going to work, and not to live up to his expectations.

The next morning, the Human Resources Bureau's assignment plan was officially released, and the admitted candidates were notified by phone to report to their units before September 5th.

Before work ended, Yang Minghao and the others called. Today they booked a private room at the Ningyang Hotel in a grand manner. A carp leaping over the dragon gate—no matter how they celebrated, it couldn't express their joy!

Fortunately, they booked early. Today, all the restaurants in Ningyang were full. You know, more than 600 people were admitted; how could this great happy event not be celebrated wildly!

In the eyes of parents, the "iron rice bowl" has strong security, good benefits, stable work, nine-to-five every day, weekends off, high social recognition, is not easy to be laid off, and there will be no mid-life crisis. Everything can be guaranteed by it.

If it weren't for Lu Fan's planning, Du Wenlong and the others wouldn't even dare to dream that one day they could hold an "iron rice bowl," become "public people" in one leap, and the ancestral graves would simply smoke!

After work, Lu Fan sent Minister Bian to the car and went directly to the Ningyang Hotel.

Just after entering the private room, the six brothers stood up in unison, looking at Lu Fan with incomparable gratitude, and sincerely shouted "Brother Fan"!

Lu Fan laughed: "What's wrong? Sit down, today is a happy day, we must celebrate well, everyone drink until they are drunk!"

Just after everyone sat down, Du Wenlong stood up again, poured a full three taels of wine into the cup, held it up and said: "Brother Fan, I'm going to work at the Discipline Inspection Commission in two days. Without you, there would be no me today. The brothers won't say anything, it's all in the wine!" After finishing, a large cup of white wine went down his throat!

"Chou Chou, eat some vegetables, don't drink too fiercely!"

Immediately after, Yang Minghao stood up and said emotionally: "Brother Fan, the Human Resources Bureau called today, asking me to report to the Political and Legal Committee. The brothers see everything you've done for us in their eyes and remember it in their hearts. I won't say words of thanks, I'll look at actions in the future. I'll drink it!" Another full cup!

Lu Fan didn't stop them, because some words must be said. Even if it's gratitude, if you hold it in, it becomes a psychological burden, and this gratitude is well-deserved by Lu Fan.

Ceng Ming held the wine glass and said: "Brother Fan, I've been assigned to the Judicial Bureau. Great kindness doesn't need words of thanks, the favor is engraved in my heart, the days ahead are long, I will definitely repay it!" Then he drank it in one gulp!

Liu Jin Zhu said: "Brother Fan, I've been assigned to the Public Security Bureau. I've dreamed of being a policeman all my life, and I never dared to think that one day I would make my dream come true. I can really wear a police uniform! Although my alcohol tolerance is small, I must drink this cup!" He drank it in one breath!

Xia Li held the wine glass and said: "Brother Fan, asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword. Seeing you humble yourself for me, the brothers feel very uncomfortable. One day we will hold our heads high and live like a person!" He drank it to the bottom!

Finally, it was Su Xiaoyi, who said: "Brother Fan, although I'm not as lucky as the brothers, I'm very content. Without you leading me, I would still be stealing oil at this time, and maybe I would be in prison. There are quite a few of our group who went in. By the end of the year, the KTV will be able to operate, plus the dividends from 'Wutong Xiaoqi,' I'm really content! All of this was given by Brother Fan, I will never forget this kindness! I'll drink this wine!"

"We grew up playing together, confidants are hard to find, and sincere hearts are hard to meet. I'm glad to have you all along."

"I believe that if I encounter difficulties, everyone will definitely support me without hesitation. That's enough. So, turn the page on the past, no one is allowed to mention it again."

"You are about to embark on a new journey, setting off towards a new goal of struggle. I wish the brothers to stand out, have a bright future, a smooth journey, and spread your wings and fly! Come, cheers!"

All were full cups. Deep feelings, drink it all in one gulp. In less than twenty minutes, four bottles of white wine hit the bottom. The alcohol came up, and the atmosphere became enthusiastic!

Ceng Ming said: "Brother Fan, tell us, what should we pay attention to at work, don't let the brothers make a fool of themselves when they first arrive at the unit."

Lu Fan laughed: "Then I'll talk about some experience. First, pay attention to your image. The old saying goes: respect the clothes first and then the person, respect the skin first and then the soul. The image must be ahead of the ability. Most people will judge people by their appearance, so you should first buy a few high-end outfits. Change the image of a 'country bumpkin' as soon as possible. It's at most a matter of two or three thousand yuan. I'll check the day after tomorrow."

Yang Minghao laughed: "Brother Fan, rest assured, tomorrow we will all dress like cadres. In the past, we were reluctant to buy clothes, but now buying clothes has become a serious matter. We won't be reluctant. Who doesn't want to tidy themselves up?"

Lu Fan continued: "Some people say that going to work is: talking about rules on the stage, walking relationships under the stage, shouting justice in the mouth, calculating interests in the heart, appearing full of righteousness on the surface, and drinking and feasting in secret, wearing gorgeous clothes, and making dirty deals in private. Although it doesn't represent everyone, such as Secretary Wang Hongtao, most people are like this!"

Lu Fan's words caused everyone to think deeply.

But no matter what, everyone has stepped into the system. Future things will be discussed later. Today's task is to drink, drink until drunk!

On September 5th, under Lu Fan's supervision, the five people dressed up properly and went to the unit to report.

On this road full of thorns, being able to have brothers accompany him made Lu Fan feel no longer lonely.

After Du Wenlong reported, he was assigned to Director Zhang Xiaobin's section and led by Sun Shaojie.

Yang Minghao was arranged to do chores in the Political and Legal Committee office, and Ceng Ming was also arranged by the Judicial Bureau to study in the office.

Liu Jin Zhu was assigned by the Public Security Bureau to the Public Security Management Brigade. This position made Su Xiaoyi overjoyed. Whether it was "Wutong Xiaoqi" or the KTV under renovation, the Public Security Brigade was the "ancestor" to him! However, Liu Jin Zhu had just started work and couldn't play any role for the time being.

After Xia Li reported to the Government Office, he was arranged to study in the duty room and led by Li Qin'gui, Han Xuyang's former secretary.
