Chapter 74 Open Competition

Xu Yanqing called Cen Peiling and said to her, "Let's put the office director's position in an open competition for the whole district."

In order to avoid suspicion and to calm down for a while, he stopped thinking.

Cen Peiling was stunned and said, "Xiaoxian promised to come over. She just told me this afternoon."

Xu Yanqing asked quickly, "When?"

Cen Peiling said, "It was around two o'clock in the afternoon."

Xu Yanqing wiped it. Face, still insisted, "Open competition, I said, including the business departments mentioned last time, also open competition."

Cen Peiling asked quickly, "What about Xiaoxian?"

Xu Yanqing said, "She met this time It's not appropriate to come here for something like this."

Cen Peiling didn't know what happened between the two. "Is it because of Jin Yiping?"

Xu Yanqing said, "This is just the surface."

So the things behind it are probably more complicated. It involves Xu Yanqing's family and marriage.

Cen Peiling knew what was going on, and she said, "Okay, what should I say to Xiaoxian?"

Xu Yanqing said, "It goes without saying, she understands."

Cen Peiling muttered, "I don't know what you are doing." After hearing this, Xu Yanqing felt even more mixed emotions.

Cen Peiling reported his position to the Civil Service Bureau early the next morning. He had originally made an appointment with Xia Jinxian, but Xu Yanqing's words made Cen Peiling feel a little guilty towards Xia Jinxian.

Although she didn't know what happened, it was obvious that Xu Yanqing wanted to cut ties with Xia Jinxian.

And Xia Jinxian had just experienced being scolded by Jin Yiping in the corridor, which had spread throughout the district government. At this time, refusing her to seek refuge made Cen Peiling feel a little unkind.

So she called Xia Jinxian, and when she talked about it, she was still a little embarrassed to talk about it.

Xia Jinxian is very smart. After Wu Tingtao called yesterday, it is not surprising that Xu Yanqing would make such a decision today.

Xia Jinxian said calmly, "Okay, I understand."

Hearing her well-behaved answer, Cen Peiling felt even more uncomfortable. She asked, "Do you need me to arrange for you to go somewhere else? There are still some friends in the district. ."

Xia Jinxian was determined. Since it was an open competition, she would sign up.

If you don't pass the exam, it means you are inferior in skills, but if you pass the exam, what can others say?

Since the two people have been separated for nine years and the rumors still persist, it is better to bravely accept the strange looks from others and ignore the rumors, so that it is possible to embrace happiness.

After the separation, didn't she always regret it?

Now that she still has a chance, she has no reason to give up.

Xia Jinxian found a friend from the Civil Service Bureau and asked them about possible written test content. Of course, in the end it was an interview, but she had to give it a try anyway.

A week after the announcement of the open competition, the registration channel was opened on the human resources website, and Xia Jinxian signed up immediately.

Jin Yiping was very peaceful these days, and Xia Jinxian pretended that nothing had happened. She still went to work seriously during the day and reviewed when she got home at night.

The soft light on the desk by the window, the books spread out on the table, accompanied by the chirping of insects at night and the high moon, seemed like the time when I was working hard for the public examination.

She dug out the public examination guide that Xu Yanqing had written for her.

That was material from 10 years ago, but now it seems that it is still forward-looking.

What a wonderful person.

She flipped through the beautiful regular script he wrote with a fountain pen, word for word, and concise words, writing clearly and thoroughly about the hot spots of the public examination.

She stroked the yellowed notebook.

Missing Xu Yanqing is overwhelming.

How much he loves her. For her, he is obviously an elegant scholar, but he is willing to give up for five buckets of rice. He can stay up all night reading the market and buying and selling futures, just to create a better life for each other.

And she is so cowardly.

Thinking of herself back then and the bleak eight years after the breakup, Xia Jinxian sighed deeply.

A drop of water fell on the notebook, melting his pen writing.

Xia Jinxian dried it in a hurry and stroked the notebook repeatedly, as if touching that person, elegant and beautiful.

It's late spring and it's still chilly in the morning and evening.

Xia Jinxian goes to and from get off work on time every day, reviews when she gets home, and occasionally meets friends for dinner at noon.

Zhu Jiajia was a regular partner. Ever since Xia Jinxian was publicly insulted by Jin Yiping, Zhu Jiajia would come to Xia Jinxian to look for food every two or three days.

It was called comfort, but in fact she just wanted to visit the newly opened shopping mall.

Anyway, Xia Jinxian let her go.

What Zhu Jiajia asked most about during the meal was the gossip about Xu Yanqing and Xia Jinxian.

Anyway, this matter has been spread out, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it in more depth.

"Who was chasing whom back then?" Zhu Jiajia was most curious about what these little girls cared about.

Xia Jinxian nodded her head in disgust and said, "Is this kind of thing important?" Zhu

Jiajia said, "Of course, it is important.

"

The arm said, "Tell me, I like to hear stories like this the most."

Xia Jinxian had no choice but to pick some to tell her.

When Xia Jinxian was in college, it was not uncommon for college students to major in sociology. It looked very advanced, but her career path was narrow. Fortunately, her tutor was a good person, so she took the opportunity to do a project with the New District Management Committee. , recommended her, who was a junior at the time, to do an internship at the New District Management Committee.

On the first day of registration, she stood at the door of the management committee office and contacted Liu Wanjun, who was one of the culprits who caused eight years of loss in her life.

As an intern at that time, she didn't understand the dangers of the world. She wore jeans and a sweatshirt, and had inexplicable curiosity and awe for all people who had left society, thinking that they were all powerful.

However, I was taught how to be a good person on my first day at work.

It was only later that I learned that Liu Wanjun's hostility towards her stemmed from her unintentionally becoming Liu Wanjun's competitor.

She blocked Liu Wanjun's way to take the public examination, so Liu Wanjun stretched out his foot and tripped her hard.

On the day of registration, she met Xu Yanqing for the first time.

The early summer sunshine poured in from the row of windows facing south. Xu Yanqing looked up from the innermost cubicle, and the white and elegant face came into her eyes.

He looked at her expressionlessly, which made her a little flustered. After Liu Wanjun briefly introduced her, Xu Yanqing pointed to the seat at the door and asked her to sit down.

She sat down with her backpack on her back, not knowing what she was going to do. Then Xu Yanqing took an address book and put it on her desk and said, "Finish it before get off work today."

There was no cause and effect, and there was no explanation word for word. Xia Jinxian felt that she might have been disliked.

However, things took a turn for the worse later on, and Xu Yanqing ran wildly on the road of pampering her.

I thought he was an aloof scholar, but who knew that he also had the same style of shameless love talk.

There is no shortage of surprises for anniversaries and birthdays, and the first time they were delivered to each other was in Hangzhou.

My friend Guan Ziyue has always said that Director Shao is the number one handsome man of the Management Committee, a super rich second generation plus a second generation official. Director Xu is the second handsome man, a second level rich second generation plus a second generation official. She didn’t understand at the time. There must be a lot of helplessness and inability behind this.

Zhu Jiajia listened to Xu Yanqing's love confession by the river and the romance of personally making a cake for her on her birthday. She said with a fascinated look on her face, "This is so wonderful."

Xia Jinxian knocked on the table and said, "Return to your soul, look. Look at me , the divorced person sitting across from you."

Zhu Jiajia's expression collapsed and she said, "That's enough." 

Zhu Jiajia took a sip of tea and asked her, "You said if you reconcile this time, can you move on?" 

Xia Jinxian smiled slightly and said, "I am a very traditional person." 

Zhu Jiajia looked at her. 

Xia Jinxian said, "I am very good at the three obediences and four virtues." 

Zhu Jiajia: ... 

Actually, there are no such things as the three obediences and the four virtues. It is not a blind marriage or a dumb marriage. 

If you love this person, you will voluntarily light the palace sand on his arm for him. 

For him, he chose to keep himself clean, to work hard, and to embrace the sunshine. 

Otherwise, it would be a blasphemy against this pure love. 

How could she be willing to let it go? 

Zhao Yuanzhou from the Construction Bureau is very active these days. He keeps an eye on Jin Yiping every week and asks her if she has helped Xia Jinxian with the procedures. 

Of course Jin Yiping refused, so she just delayed. 

Zhou Chao asked again later, but Zhao Yuanzhou just said it was quick, and the matter just went without a trace. 

After Xia Jinxian signed up, she had to go through a qualification review, and some of the forms she submitted required Jin Yiping's signature and seal. 

Jin Yiping originally wanted to make things difficult for her, but Xia Jinxian said frankly, "Director Jin, I think Director Zhao must have told you about my rank. If I succeed in the competition, won't I save you trouble? Since we can't get along, It would be better for you if I leave voluntarily." 

Jin Yiping wanted to say something else, but her phone rang. 

Xia Jinxian saw that the caller was Chen Meiying. 

These two people were in cahoots with each other, and it was the two of them who teamed up to frame her for losing the confidential information. 

The relationship is still so close now, why? 

Xia Jinxian raised her eyebrows and looked at Jin Yiping. Jin Yiping looked at the caller ID and then looked at Xia Jinxian, her eyes a little dodgey. 

She took a pen to sign the printing form for Xia Jinxian and waved her away. 

Xia Jinxian thought for a while and roughly understood that what she said to Ye Maocong had an effect. 

In order to find out the exact information, Xia Jinxian sent a message to Lu Mingwei: Leader, would it be convenient for me to report to you about my work? 

As the vice chairman, Lu Mingwei is relatively free. She is also a quasi-central management cadre and an old leader she has followed. 

It would be perfect to go to Lu Mingwei to inquire about the list of first-level inspectors this time. 

After getting a reply from Lu Mingwei that he was free, Xia Jinxian returned to the CPPCC Office calmly and calmly, carrying a box of Fengdou in her office. 

He helped Lu Mingwei make tea, chatted with Lu Mingwei, and pretended to casually ask about the evaluation of these first-level inspectors. 

Lu Mingwei also came from outside the district in the last term. He was not too familiar with the staff, so he did the math on his fingers. 

Xia Jinxian asked, "Aren't Director Zhang from the Propaganda Department and Deputy Director of the United Front Work Department not here?" 

Lu Mingwei waved his hand affirmatively and said, "None of them. This time, the Standing Committee Department asked Liu Jing from the Organization Department. None of the others." 

Xia Jinxian said, changing the subject again. 

Zhang Wenyuan was not involved in this matter, but Xia Jinxian felt that the cycle of cause and effect would bring its own retribution. 

Of course there is an issue with Zhang Wenyuan's personal ability, but it certainly also includes Ye Maocong's role. 

Xia Jinxian would not be stupid enough to send a message to Ye Maocong. It would be good if she knew this well. 

And Chen Meiying was in a hurry to call Jin Yiping. Was there something urgent? 

Xia Jinxian has no friends in the Archives Bureau. If she has any friends, they only have a warehouse of files. 

If you look at too many files in the pile of old papers, you will feel that life is in a hurry. However, in the past twenty or thirty years, the best time in life for doing business and starting a business has passed. 

The more than six years she spent in the Archives Bureau were the darkest moments of her life. 

There she was, losing her mother, divorced, and punished. 

She still remembers the day when she got the real estate certificate entrusted by Xu Yanqing from Pan Yijun, and learned that the set of expensive jewelry bought by her ex-husband was a gift from Xu Yanqing. 

After they broke up, she took the initiative to find him for the first time. 

She wanted to give him back everything he had given her. 

I would also like to ask if he is okay. 

She downloaded the latest district government address book from the intranet and wanted to see what Xu Yanqing's extension was. 

But after searching for a long time in the district office, I found that his name was no longer there. 

She stood up in a hurry to call Pan Yijun, but she knocked over her cup and wet the file. 

Jin Yiping came over at this time, saw this scene, and scolded her severely for two hours. 

After that, Director Zhang Wenyuan criticized her in small meetings at the general meeting. 

But that year she was still cowardly, lowering her head and letting them scold her. She was so cowardly that she didn't even dare to shed tears. 

Jin Yiping had the same sharp and cruel character back then. She sneered and said, "I can't bear this grievance, so what else can I do? Don't do it at the counter tomorrow, go to the backstage to enter files!" 

Then in the afternoon, she was asked to do it. 
After sorting things out, I went to the backstage to do the electronic entry of files. 

This work lasted more than two years. 

Every day in a dark computer room, I scan and fax file materials one by one to the computer, and then write serial numbers and directory names, as if I have been forgotten in this bustling world. 

Accompanied by it, there are only thick, floating clouds in the sky outside the narrow window. 

In her memory, there were continuous cloudy days, and a few beams of the sun leaked through the gaps in the clouds, just like the love Xu Yanqing once gave her, golden and with a soft halo. 

She likes to open the window, but that window is for ventilation. As soon as it is opened, the wind will blow, and the materials she puts on the copier will fly around. 

Then she picked them up one by one, as if in slow motion. 

Then one day at noon, Pan Yijun came to the district for investigation and happened to meet her. 

Only then did she know that Xu Yanqing had left, quietly went to the capital, and got married. 

At that time, Pan Yijun asked her, "Do you think he will live well after breaking up with you?" 

This sentence exposed the embarrassment between her and Xu Yanqing after they broke up. 

Then, there are so many years of grudges.

Xia Jinxian came out of the CPPCC and stood in the hall for a long time. There was someone talking to someone in the distance, surrounded by people.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the man was looking at her.

Xu Yanqing had already sent away the guests, and Lu Wenjing and Li Zhiqi were standing with him, listening to what he said.

Although the three people were talking, their eyes were all looking towards her.

Xu Yanqing's face was cold, still as elegant and handsome as before. People coming and going kept saying hello to him, but he just nodded coldly.

His deep eyes fell on her body, and from those eyes, she could feel his hidden waves.

The moment Xia Jinxian looked at him, she felt heart palpitations.

She was also in this hall once, when she was running a comprehensive department at the district government. She came back from delivering materials and got caught in the rain.

The clothes I wore that day were a little see-through. When I entered the district government building, I was so cold that I sneezed.

This man was standing in the hall with many leaders. Although they had broken up, he couldn't bear to see her in such a mess. He took off his suit jacket, grabbed her aside, and put some clothes on her.

Obviously at that time, they had already "officially announced" the scandal.

Especially Zhong Weiyi, in order to discredit her, she made up many rumors.

Even when her ovarian cyst ruptured and she was hospitalized for surgery, rumors were spread that Xu Yanqing had an abortion.

People's words are scary.

But fear could not resist the rumors.

She shouldn't retreat anymore.

Xia Jinxian tucked her hair behind her ears, nodded slightly to him, and turned around to go out.

Xu Yanqing watched her figure disappear, and his eyes returned to Li Zhiqi beside him.

Recently, Li Zhiqi began to follow Xu Yanqing. It turned out that he followed Xu Yanqing's deputy director Wu Dongming to aid Xinjiang, which made it even more difficult for Li Zhiqi to do it.

When he saw Xu Yanqing looking at Xia Jinxian, he could only ask, "Boss, is Wanhe still going?"
