Chapter 3713

The next day, as soon as Dong Ziqian started work, he handed the official document he had painstakingly polished the previous night to Weng Jingyao. He felt that this document of his had to pass, because he had written it meticulously according to the requirements of that comprehensive guide to official document writing, combined with the words his mother had spoken.

However, unexpectedly, after a while, Weng Jingyao came back with that document, placed it on Dong Ziqian's desk, and said that Mayor Su had said it still needed revisions.

Dong Ziqian took the document and looked at it; on it, Su Xinghui had again used a pen to cross out two or three paragraphs, and in other places, he had also used a pen to cross out some sentences and words—these were all places that needed to be revised.

Dong Ziqian instantly flared up. He picked up the document and walked out. Seeing his furious appearance, Weng Jingyao thought, "This is bad," and hurriedly chased after him. However, Dong Ziqian was tall and sturdy, and now that he was in a fit of anger, his feet were moving like the wind; Weng Jingyao could not catch up. He shouted, "Little Dong," but Dong Ziqian ignored him.

The Municipal Government Office was not far from Su Xinghui's office, only about ten meters away. In the blink of an eye, Dong Ziqian arrived in front of the door to Su Xinghui's office and began to knock.

Seeing this situation, Weng Jingyao could only stop his footsteps.

The door to Su Xinghui's office opened, and Ding Qingyong appeared behind the door. Seeing Dong Ziqian, he asked, "Little Dong, is there something you need?"

Dong Ziqian said huffily, "I'm looking for Mayor Su for something."

Seeing that his mood was off, Ding Qingyong frowned and said, "Mayor Su is very busy right now and doesn't have time to see you. I'll notify you later."

Dong Ziqian was about to say something else when he heard Su Xinghui say from inside the office, "Is that Dong Ziqian? Come in."

Ding Qingyong could only let Dong Ziqian enter. Su Xinghui said, "Qingyong, you go first. Leave this material with me for now."

Ding Qingyong nodded and went out.

For a moment, Dong Ziqian didn't know what to say. In Su Xinghui's office, looking at the smiling Su Xinghui, he felt that some of his anger was unable to be released.

Su Xinghui asked with a smile, "Dong Ziqian, is there something you need?"

Dong Ziqian stood up, placed the document he had written in front of Su Xinghui, and said, "Mayor Su, I just wanted to ask, where exactly is the problem with this document? Why is it being repeatedly sent back for me to rewrite?"

Su Xinghui leaned back in his chair and said, "Where is the problem? Didn't I mark it all for you? You just need to revise it according to the requirements for official document writing."

Dong Ziqian said, "But I don't understand how I should revise it to make you satisfied."

Su Xinghui laughed. The current Dong Ziqian reminded him of himself when he had just started working in his previous life. At that time, he was also arrogant, relying on his talent, considering himself the best in the world, and refusing to submit to anyone. But later, the cruel reality made him suffer until he was battered and bruised.

Su Xinghui put away his smile and said, "Dong Ziqian, you must understand that I am asking you to write materials not because I am waiting for this material of yours to be used. You should humbly seek advice from other veteran comrades; this is an opportunity given to you, and not everyone has this kind of opportunity. You do not humbly seek advice, but instead come to question me. Can I consider that your attitude is problematic? Do you not need this opportunity?"

Su Xinghui's words stunned Dong Ziqian at once. Dong Ziqian did indeed look down on this opportunity in his heart. In his view, a student from Jingshi University like him could find excellent job opportunities in any big city, so why bother returning to a small place like Linshan?

Dong Ziqian's dream job was in the spacious and comfortable office of a foreign enterprise, not in a government agency. This was also the common thought of graduates from prestigious universities in this era; there were not many top students who were truly willing to work in government agencies.

Although Dong Ziqian's parents were both high-ranking officials within the system, he felt that their lives were not that satisfactory and were even a bit sordid. For example, when facing a mayor like Su Xinghui who was only in his thirties, they were all a bit subservient. What was the point of that?

Dong Ziqian felt that Su Xinghui was able to become mayor in his thirties, relying certainly on the power of his father-in-law. Although his political achievements were good, that must also be because his background was strong, which was why he could attract so many investors for him; it didn't count for much. Dong Ziqian truly looked down on such an opportunity.

However, Su Xinghui's words did indeed stun Dong Ziqian. How astonishing was Su Xinghui's aura right now? The words he said with a straight face were not something the fledgling Dong Ziqian could withstand.

But Dong Ziqian still felt that Su Xinghui's words didn't make much sense. He was a bit unconvinced. He should learn from those veteran comrades in the office? Were those people worth him learning from?

Those veteran secretaries, each wearing glasses as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle, their fingers and teeth stained yellow by smoke, each one of them gaunt and skinny like ghosts. When asked about their educational background, many were high school graduates, and some were even middle school graduates. Only a few younger ones were university graduates, and the school's brand was not as strong as Jingshi University's. Dong Ziqian truly looked down on them.
