Chapter 558: The knowledge of parking spaces
The graduation ceremony was held very grandly, and Provincial Chen Shengzhang brought a group of leaders from various departments and bureaus to the Provincial Party School.
Peng Fu Xiaozhang was busy, and just the problem of parking made him miserable.
The Party School itself had two parking lots, one on the large square at the school gate, and the other had to go around two buildings to reach. The two parking lots were named Parking Lot No. 1 and Parking Lot No. 2.
Usually, when cars came, they all looked for convenience and parked in Parking Lot No. 1. For example, my car was parked in Parking Lot No. 1. The seventeen cadres from the province who participated in the training, seventeen cars, were also parked in Parking Lot No. 1.
Of the two parking lots, No. 2 was twice as large as No. 1. But going to No. 2 required going around two buildings, and no one liked trouble, so there were few cars parked in Parking Lot No. 2.
Provincial Chen Shengzhang came to preside over the graduation ceremony, so naturally, cars would come. The leaders of various departments and bureaus also had one car each. Calculating this way, Parking Lot No. 1 couldn't hold so many cars at all. Who parked in No. 1 and who parked in No. 2 became Peng Fu Xiaozhang's top priority.
Don't underestimate the small problem of parking; it's like seats, the order of seats is very particular. Where the car is parked is a symbol of status and position.
As the class monitor of the training class, I naturally had the obligation to assist Peng Fu Xiaozhang in handling this thorny matter.
Peng Fu Xiaozhang racked his brains but couldn't find a way. Any car corresponded to the owner of the car. If the parking space wasn't handled well, it would offend the owner of the car.
He simply threw the matter of parking to me and let me be fully responsible for the arrangement of parking spaces.
Peng Fu Xiaozhang couldn't arrange things well, so could I? I looked at the back of Peng Fu Xiaozhang who was walking away and cursed fiercely in my heart: "Damn it."
Since the matter had come, it had to be done well. First of all, take care of all aspects, and don't offend anyone. The key problem was that I couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Mei Hua and I squatted on the grass by the parking lot, each smoking and puffing.
Mei Hua had been in the province for a long time, had sufficient social experience, and even more official experience. I humbly asked for advice, hoping he could guide me a little bit.
Mei Hua exhaled a smoke ring and said: "Don't ask me, I can't handle it either. Old Peng is playing the role of a hands-off shopkeeper, I'm just a guest, why should I kill my brain cells for him?"
I was choked by his words. Mei Hua said he was a guest, what about me? I couldn't even be considered a guest, just a passerby who hurried through.
I smiled bitterly and said: "Section Chief Mei, just treat it as helping your younger brother and give me an idea."
Mei Hua stared at me in surprise, looked for a long time, shook his head and said: "Don't play this set, I'm not your brother. I haven't even married, besides, you're older than me, right?"
I laughed pretentiously and said: "A few years older, a few years older. Section Chief Mei, I call you brother, not because of age, but because of ability. People without ability, even if they want to be my brother, I won't recognize them. Section Chief Mei, your ability is obvious to all, so, I am humbly and sincerely climbing up to you."
Mei Hua laughed dryly, stuck the cigarette butt into the soil, stood up and said: "In my opinion, follow the rules, don't rank the cars, whoever arrives first parks in No. 1, those who come later have no place to park, so go to No. 2."
"What if Provincial Chen Shengzhang arrives last?" I asked.
Mei Hua was stunned immediately, who could guarantee that Provincial Chen Shengzhang wouldn't arrive last? If it really happened as we expected, Provincial Chen Shengzhang's car would go to Parking Lot No. 2?
"How about reserving a parking space for him." Mei Hua pondered for a long time and said.
"If another leader similar to Provincial Chen Shengzhang comes, where should the car be parked?" I asked hesitantly.
"Too complicated." Mei Hua waved his hand and said: "None of my business. I won't manage this trivial matter. Chen Feng, you handle it yourself."
After speaking, he walked away leisurely. I called a few times but didn't call him back, so I had to sigh, leaned against a cherry tree, and stared blankly at the gloomy sky.
Peng Fu Xiaozhang was deliberately making things difficult for me! Such a complicated matter, he had never revealed a word before. This morning, seeing me on the playground, he temporarily handed this shit matter to me.
I looked at the empty Parking Lot No. 1, our cars had automatically parked in a corner of No. 2 in the morning.
Suddenly a horn sounded, I looked up, it was Meng Xiaoyu's car. He drove straight to where he usually parked, I was in a hurry, and stretched out my arms to stop him.
Meng Xiaoyu was obviously startled by my action, his car head almost hit me.
He got out of the driver's seat with a pale face, waving his hands and scolding me: "Chen Feng, are you looking for death!"
I laughed and whispered: "Don't be excited, don't be excited."
I told him in detail that Parking Lot No. 1 was going to park the cars of VIPs today, and his car could only be wronged to go to Parking Lot No. 2.
After Meng Xiaoyu heard what I said, he said impatiently: "Parking a car, and you guys make it so complicated! Isn't it just parking? Where isn't it parking? Why must you distinguish a level?"
I accompanied with a smiling face and said: "This is Principal Peng's meaning, I'm just doing things according to his arrangement."
Meng Xiaoyu snorted, got into the car and started the car, still driving to where he usually parked.
I followed him all the way and stopped him at the car door and said: "Brother Meng, help me."
Meng Xiaoyu looked at me, turned his face away with disdain, and reached out to push me away.
This contempt of his made a raging fire burn in my heart! I am a person who doesn't care about anything, but I can't stand others looking down on me!
Back then, when I was a handyman in a small unit under the Agriculture Bureau, I was also high-spirited, although I lived by looking at others' faces, I wouldn't be slapped in the face on the spot.
"If Brother Meng doesn't dislike it, shall I help you drive it over?" I said coldly, spreading my palms towards him.
He snorted again, gave me a white look and said: "Can you drive this car of mine?"
"Try it." I had a smile on my face, but my heart was full of anger.
Meng Xiaoyu was nothing more than a secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Office, without any local work experience. If he were put in my Suxi Town, he would be worse than a dog.
I was no worse, I was also an Executive Deputy County Magistrate. And I was a small secretary who worked his way up, step by step, walking steadily, without panic in my heart.
Just when the two of us were at a stalemate, Gan Lu appeared.
Gan Lu walked around Meng Xiaoyu's car, looked at the leather shoes on her feet, and asked Meng Xiaoyu hesitantly: "Xiao Yu, is this car body iron or solid steel?"
Meng Xiaoyu looked at her incomprehensibly, moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
Gan Lu smiled lightly and said: "I want to see if your car body is harder or my leather shoe sole is harder."
After she finished speaking, she raised her leg and made a gesture to kick the car body.
Meng Xiaoyu was startled, dragged Gan Lu and shouted: "Hey hey, what are you doing?"
Gan Lu smiled and said: "Nothing, just want to see what kind of high-end goods our Section Chief Meng's car is."
Meng Xiaoyu couldn't do anything about Gan Lu. This was a secret that many people knew. In fact, there was still a story between them.
Gan Lu, Meng Xiaoyu, and Gan Lu's husband who had a green card were classmates. Both male classmates pursued Gan Lu enthusiastically, trying all kinds of methods, hoping to make the beauty happy.
Even Gan Lu couldn't choose between the two of them.
The turning point appeared in the semester before graduation. One day was Gan Lu's birthday, but Meng Xiaoyu's father was sick, so he went to the hospital to visit his father. When he left, he even told Gan Lu that he would blow out the candles with her when he came back.
Who would have thought that Meng Xiaoyu couldn't get away to celebrate Gan Lu's birthday. Gan Lu waited until twelve o'clock in the evening, then sighed and said to her current husband: "God's will!"
That night, the two achieved good things. When Meng Xiaoyu came back, Gan Lu not only gave her heart, but even her body was given together.
Later, Gan Lu got married, her husband went abroad to study, and Meng Xiaoyu had been sneering on the side. He hadn't married yet, and I didn't know if it was because of Gan Lu or other reasons.
"I'm afraid of you!" Meng Xiaoyu climbed into the car, glared at me fiercely and said: "Chen Feng, be careful walking!"
I didn't understand what he meant, Gan Lu leaned over and whispered: "He is eating dry vinegar."
I suddenly realized, and my heart couldn't help but tremble. A few months ago, when I went to the countryside for research, Meng Xiaoyu expressed that he wanted to be in the same group as Gan Lu, but unfortunately they were both provincial cadres and couldn't be divided together.
Seeing me nervous, Gan Lu giggled and said: "Is there a ghost in your heart? Afraid like this."
I stretched my neck and said: "I'm not afraid."
"If you're not afraid, what is it?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I can't say it."
Gan Lu reached out to me and said: "Come, give me the list, I'll help you arrange it."
The thorny problem that made Peng Fu Xiaozhang and me worry like ghosts was easily solved in Gan Lu's hands like a magic trick.
Gan Lu's reason was actually very simple: according to the guest list, compare the current positions one by one, starting from the Standing Committee members, all the way down, and when encountering units of equivalent level, look at the size of the unit. If the unit size is the same, look at the leader's age.
The situation of provincial cadres had long been familiar to Gan Lu. Who was how old, how high the administrative level was, she could easily tell their resume as soon as she saw the name.
According to the situation of Parking Lot No. 1, we estimated how many cars could be parked. Gan Lu marked "1" or "2" next to the car number on the guest list, prompting them to enter the parking lot according to the marked numbers.
After we marked the numbers after all the car numbers and handed the list to the security guard, we saw the first car enter the gate of the Party School. ===== CHAPTER 559 =====
