Director of the Centre

Chapter 28

Old Wang smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending someone for refusing so readily?"

"When I left home to work in Jinsha City, my mother specifically told me to have a good relationship with my colleagues before leaving. She said that a good relationship is not just to please people blindly. It will make people look down on you and look down on you. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and a certain social distance must be maintained. Because everyone is a porcupine with thorns on their bodies, getting too close will hurt others and yourself. The most important thing is that you have to know how to reject people. You can’t promise against your will What I don’t want to do, I regret later.”

Old Wang: "What a literate and wise mother, no, you said that yourself."

Han Lu: "Since you know it, why bother to say it?"

His attitude is very clear.

But Lao Wang still couldn't help persuading, saying, five people left the center this month.These five people are all field recorders, two of them are old enough to retire, and the other three are retired.

The so-called field notes, don't look tall, in fact, they are used to move the equipment.

The aging problem of the city's cultural and art center is serious, and there is a serious shortage of staff under the old Wang in the office.

He said with a distressed face: "Xiao Han, you see that I am not in good health, and my energy is also low. Come and help me. Director Yang has also agreed to this matter."

"It turns out that I was asked to do hard work!"

Old Wang: "Don't say that, you are a part of the center, you have to contribute to the center. Your contribution, everyone can see it, and they all say that the new Xiaohan can fight hard , is a success.”

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but Han Lu was completely annoyed by what he said.

Our Comrade Xiao Han was also polite, and asked: "Old Wang, Director Wang, don't talk about this. Let me ask you, after you came back from Pingdi Village last time, did you sue me in front of Director Yang, what did you sue me for?" You meddle in everything, where do you put the office, where do you put your old king? Tell me to put myself in the right position, otherwise I will make mistakes in the future, right? You made it clear."

Lao Wang was indeed dissatisfied with Han Lu's arrangement of Qiu Drummer sharing a bed with him, which made him sleepless all night.

It is common for people like them who are in the system to make small reports in private and give eye drops to those who are unhappy in front of the leaders.The defendant knew about it, so he made a small report when he found an opportunity, and it was all he needed to get back on the scene.

It was the first time for Han Lu to directly confront a conflict like Han Lu.

Wang Bin blushed with embarrassment and didn't know how to answer.

After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly said, "This Mid-Autumn Festival performance lasts for one week, and the office will help you settle the expenses, 20 yuan a day, which is equivalent to an actor's performance subsidy."

Han Lu ignored it.

Old Wang gritted his teeth: "The office wants to send mooncakes to all related households. How about giving you two boxes?"

Han Lu: "What kind of flavor, I don't want Wuren."

"Don't worry, I won't give you five kernels. I have double yellow lotus paste, cloud legs, cake moon cakes, ice skin, red bean paste, and barbecued sausage."

Han Lu commented: "There are Cantonese style, Suzhou style, and Yunnan style moon cakes. They are not systematic. Give me a box of ice skin and a box of cloud legs, and I will send it to my mother."

It is a promise to the old king.

The old Wang was happy, and said, Xiao Han, I said you are a capable person.

Han Lu was still angry, and said, you are still calling Director Yang that I am grandstanding.

Old Wang: "I'm old, so I'm a mouthful, Xiao Han, don't worry about it."

Han Lu admired his cheekiness a little bit: This person is really self-restraining, able to bend and stretch, and the people in this unit are not normal.

The reason why Han Lu agreed to Lao Wang was because of his mother's wish to taste the mooncakes in the gift box.

As a native of the Southwest Province, Han Lu has always eaten mooncakes from his hometown as long as he can remember. The packaging is simple and the price is cheap.At the beginning, it only cost [-] cents a piece, and it gradually increased to [-] cents, [-] yuan, and [-] yuan.

His father worked as a fitter in a factory, and his mother farmed at home.As the saying goes, one worker and one farmer can live forever.In fact, this is just nonsense. Life in the countryside was not easy in the 80s.In addition, grandparents were still there at the time, and they all lost their labor force and needed their children to support them. My father's pitiful salary of dozens of yuan had to be calculated carefully. If I was not careful, I would starve at the end of the month.

Therefore, Han Lu's family is full of desire for mooncakes with a lot of oil, salt and sugar.

In the 90s, my father was laid off, and my mother was working in a county candy factory.She came home from get off work every day with a depressed expression, saying that the family hadn't eaten meat for a month, and smelled the sweet and greasy smell in the factory, and she simply didn't want to live.

The candy factory makes moon cakes every year, making earthy moon cakes.The earth moon cakes are very crispy, and the skin will fall off if you are not careful when packaging.

The old lady collected some skins, wrapped them in paper, and took them home for Han Lu to eat—that was the ultimate delicacy in the world!
However, my mother quit after working in the candy factory for two years.

The candy factory closed down. The main reason was that the products were too single and the packaging was ugly. It was really hard to sell them as gifts, and they were quickly killed by exquisite Cantonese-style and Soviet-style moon cakes.

Han Lu's mother has always wanted to taste the taste of boxed moon cakes, but she is really reluctant to give up those things that cost hundreds of them.

This time, the wish of the old man can be fulfilled, which is why our Comrade Xiao Han agreed to help Wang Bin.

After getting the moon cake ticket from Lao Wang, Han Lu decided to forgive Director Wang for the time being, and asked casually: "Old Wang, what kind of performance is this time, and where are you going? It will take a week? How much equipment needs to be transported? Do you want me to contact you to find a bus?"

Indeed, it seemed a little strange.It's such a time now, and traditional dramas are rarely watched.The performances in the Cultural Center consisted of Peking Opera and Sichuan Opera, each performing an excerpt, with symphony, folk music, and dance in between, making it look like a variety show.

And most of these performances are for participating in various major ceremonies. It is OK to create an atmosphere and perform just one performance.It's been on for a week, who will go to see it?

If it's a commercial performance, I'm afraid they won't even be able to sell a few tickets, so the three hundred Bodhisattvas in the Cultural and Art Center must be treated like pants.

"There is no need to contact the vehicle, and there is no luggage. The actor only has a set of costumes and a head. It doesn't weigh a few pounds. She can pack it in her bag and take it there by herself. Of course, if you want to help carry the luggage, you can also. This performance is quite far away. , it takes two days by train."

Han Lu: "Two-day train?"

"Yes, two days, go to the provincial capital." Old Wang said with a smile: "Tao Tao is going to participate in this year's Provincial Young Sichuan Opera Actors Competition. Director Yang leads the team, I accompany as a chore, and there are four musicians, a total of six people. There were no you Yes, but a new situation suddenly appeared at this time. A leader of the Municipal Culture and Sports Committee will go to the provincial capital to handle errands in the past few days. Hearing that this matter is very important, he said that he would go to the scene to see it, and everyone should do it together. The leader Well, it's not appropriate for people to squeeze the train for two days. So Director Yang and I took the plane instead. So, what about Tao Tao and his team? Didn't you study in the provincial capital for four years? You should be familiar with it. There, it happens that the old horse knows the way. As for the food and lodging, you don’t have to worry about it, the organizer will arrange it, and you can revisit the old place and travel at public expense.”

"So you asked me to take care of those masters? But go to the provincial capital, where people will take care of food and lodging, so it's not bad to play for a few days." Han Lu's eyes lit up: "I have to go."

Han Lu looked at Chang Yuehua's black face all day long while working in the financial office, and felt inexplicably in a bad mood.The other women were afraid of offending Chang Yuehua and refused to talk to Han Lu, vaguely repelling it, which made people uncomfortable.

He was young and playful, and when he heard that he could go on a business trip for a week, he was a little excited.
