Chapter 231: Have to show some attitude

With the letter of introduction, he did not rush to the Film Bureau, but went back to the Street Office first. After all, it was the first day of work in the new year, and they probably wouldn't have time to pay attention to him.

As expected, Section Chief Qi has become Deputy Director Qi, but he is still Zhang Xingwang's direct supervisor.

I went to my leader's office and reported that I would go to the Film Bureau to study frequently in the future.

When Director Qi learned that it would not affect procurement, he frowned at first, then patiently said to Zhang Xingwang:

"Xiao Zhang, I understand your difficulties. It is true that purchasing work is not easy now, but your ideological awareness is still good. It is right for young people to endure more hardships.

How about this, you write a few more notes for field work, and I'll ask someone to sort them out later, and you can go out and purchase with peace of mind."

After he finished speaking, he handed Zhang Xingwang a cigarette, and after Zhang Xingwang lit it, he slowly said:

"Alas... Now is a time of transition, and I have just made some progress. You must not let me down. How about this, you write an application, and I will go talk to the secretary about the allowance for going out."

"Boss, I won't let you down. I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the application."

After hearing this, Director Qi waved his hand and said seriously:

"How can they be the same? You have to show your attitude of success or failure. How can the people at the top know the sufferings of the people below? I am also a farmer's son, I know what it feels like to be hungry.

Do you know how many provinces and regions were affected by the drought last year? Do you know how many places in Northeast China have not seen snow since New Year's Day?

I can only say this because I treat you as one of my own. I just came back from my hometown. Do you know how many communes don’t have enough food to last until the autumn harvest?

And you can’t do this as a purchasing agent.”

"Um... Leader, this is my limit. If there are more, I'm afraid..."

Director Qi interrupted Zhang Xingwang and said with his lips pursed:

"You are still young and don't understand this. Just like the bicycles in our company, everyone rides them every day without any problems. Who would pay attention to them?

What if it breaks down again and again? Do people take it seriously just to avoid getting in trouble? Do leaders think about maintaining it? "

After listening to this, Zhang Xingwang thought it made sense and said that he would write the application immediately. Regardless of whether he could get the position or not, just like Director Qi said, he had to show his attitude first.

Let your leader know your difficulties early on, otherwise if you suddenly quit, your leader will think you are unreliable.

After leaving the house, Zhang Xingwang began to write applications and notes for field work. While writing, he was thinking that although he had a lot of food that needed to be dealt with urgently, what Director Qi said was really right.

This kind of leader is much more down-to-earth than Director Wang who only looks at talent. Well... I wish him continued promotion in the future, and I’ll try to reform myself under his leadership.

The next day, Zhang Xingwang started to "drop the ball", and the amount of grain purchased dropped from more than 200 kilograms in three days to less than 100 kilograms in five days.

With Director Qi's words, the leader immediately approved Zhang Xingwang's application, and everyone's attitude towards him also changed, from friendly to cautious.

When the leaders saw him, they would ask about his well-being and would start by asking if he had any difficulties recently, showing their deep concern.

As for work, I used to mediate neighborhood disputes and occasionally run errands, but now I am completely free. No one will ask about me if I am not seen all day.

Zhang Xingwang started his studies. He rode his bike to the Film Bureau early in the morning and walked in with the letter of introduction.

A section chief named Qian received him lukewarmly. After hearing that he came to study, he perfunctorily arranged for a clerk to take him to Beijing Film Academy and gave him a casual introduction. That was the end of the matter.

Zhang Xingwang didn't care about that. He came here to learn and broaden his horizons. Although he knew nothing about movies, the technical content of current movies was not that high.

In order to plan to lie flat, I have to learn more. After all, lying flat and being a landlord is not a good thing. I have to have some social status in the future. Otherwise, I will be easily taken advantage of. Although the grade of the foot massage shop is not low, the tricks above are more high-end.

Movies are a high-end, money-making industry, and it took off immediately after the reform and opening up. Otherwise, all those movies and TV shows you watched would have been wasted.

The people at Beijing Film Academy all looked at him, a clerk, with their foreheads. Um... they should have looked at him with their nostrils, but unfortunately these people were not tall enough. Zhang Xingwang's height was standard for a big guy in that era.

Anyway, everyone ignored him and thought it was a waste of time to talk to him.

Zhang Xingwang didn't take it seriously. These people were waiting for the storm to blow, and none of them would be in good stead.

I had money in my pocket, and within two days I established myself as a rich and foolish person. I brought too many roasted sweet potatoes today, and I couldn't finish the boiled potatoes tomorrow.

Now I can chat with everyone in that department. I have acquaintances everywhere and I can hang out wherever I go.

Occasionally I go to the library to look up information or something, but I don’t plan on becoming a director or producer myself, so it’s enough for me to get a general idea.

A week passed like this. When I got off work and returned to the temple one day, I clearly felt that the atmosphere in the temple was not right. When I passed the front yard, I heard laughter from Yan Bugui's family.

Through the fourth sister's eloquence, I learned that Yan Bugui had arranged a blind date for Yan Jiecheng while everyone was at work in the afternoon.

It is said to be very successful. Yan Jiecheng's mouth is crooked with smile. I don't know who is thinking too much. Anyway, I heard from my fourth sister that it was not Yu Li.

After explaining what happened, Wang Xiulan brought the meal. When they were about to eat, Liu Guangtian came into the room in a casual manner. After greeting Wang Xiulan, he turned around and said to Zhang Xingwang in a flattering manner:

"Brother Xingwang, my father asked you to come home for dinner."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away. Zhang Xingwang was still wondering if Liu Haizhong was going to cause trouble. Was he trying to improve himself again? He ignored the fourth sister who wanted to go with him to broaden her horizons. He drank some water and walked away.

Yan Bugui has been very busy these days. It turned out that after seeing Zhang Xingwang "failed in love" that day, although Yan Bugui celebrated with Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, it was not a big deal when he thought about it carefully.

After all, Zhang Xingwang, the bad-headed one, didn't matter, and a normal girl wouldn't think of marrying him, but what about his three sons? It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't solve the problem. After all, after the eldest son got married, there were still two sons. If they all got together, he would be dead.

The day before yesterday, while everyone was together, they started looking for people. Sha Zhu's family and Xu Damao's family went there, thinking of forming a joint force. Everyone formed an alliance and it would become a three against one situation. They thought that the bad guy would not succeed this time.

I think Sha Zhu is the easiest to target. Unlike his name, although Sha Zhu is a bit foul-mouthed, he is a bit smart, but his overall view is terrible.
