After settling down the big and small things at home, Yue Wenxuan brought Meng Yining to the telecommunications building at the northeast corner of the clock tower the next morning.

The telecommunication building in Chang'an is far from what the telegraph office in the small county can compare to. The building is six stories high, and it is a landmark building that can be counted in the entire city of Chang'an.

After entering the building, Yue Wenxuan stopped two staff members one after another to ask for directions, and finally found the office of Yan Zhiheng, deputy director of the Telecommunications Bureau.

The door of the office was open, Yue Wenxuan knocked on the door, and walked in after hearing the response.

A middle-aged man was sitting behind a desk writing hard, looking quite busy.

"You are Director Yan, right? I am Zhao Guanhua's friend Yue Wenxuan.

I have here a letter from him, please read it. "

Yue Wenxuan handed the letter to Yan Zhiheng.

Yan Zhiheng stood up and walked out from behind the desk. After receiving the letter, he didn't open it immediately, but just put it on the table.

He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Yue Wenxuan, and said enthusiastically:

"I have already received a letter from Guan Hua. He and I are college classmates and we have an inseparable relationship. His friends are my friends.

In the letter, Guanhua highly respected you, and also specifically mentioned the relationship between the two of you to me.

He asked me to take good care of you, and if I made you feel wronged, the next time we meet, I must drink. "

Yue Wenxuan knew that Director Yan was Zhao Guanhua's classmate, but he really didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic.

The other party is old and will be his future leader, so he said humbly:
"I have caused you trouble. I came to Chang'an from Yu Province. I don't even have any relatives or friends in the area. I came here rashly. Please take care of me."

"Let's just sit down and talk."

Yan Zhiheng glanced at Meng Yining beside Yue Wenxuan, and asked, "I don't know who this girl is?"

"I haven't introduced you yet, this is my wife Meng Yining.

He learned how to send a newspaper with me, and he is quite proficient. I brought her here today to see if I can find a job for her in the telecommunications bureau. "

Seeing Yan Zhiheng's enthusiastic attitude, Yue Wenxuan didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions.

Yan Zhiheng smiled and nodded to Meng Yining, and said cheerfully:
"Since I know how to send telegrams, there is no problem. The Telecom Bureau is planning to recruit more dispatchers. I will say hello later and just join the job directly.

As for your work, it would be easier to say, after receiving Guanhua's letter, I have already started to arrange it.

Now the maintenance department still lacks a deputy chief. You just happened to be able to take up this position after you came here, but I feel a little wronged for you. "

"You flatter me too much. I originally thought that I could be an ordinary employee and earn a stable salary, but I never thought that I could be a leader. Will it cause you too much trouble?"

Yan Zhiheng is Zhao Guanhua's old classmate, if the relationship between them is really good enough, it would be reasonable to have a warmer attitude towards him.

But Yan Zhiheng was too enthusiastic, and Yue Wenxuan felt that there must be a reason for this.

Zhao Guanhua is very likely to be an underground party, so could his old classmate Yan Zhiheng be too?

He has some guesses in his mind, but he can't confirm them for the time being, and he can only verify them after getting along for a long time.

"What's the trouble, you are one of your own, we have to fight if we should.

After all, you have just joined the job, so I can only fight for the position of deputy section chief for you. After a long time, let's try to get rid of that adverb.

After you join the job, you will gradually understand. Although our telecommunications bureau is not a department with real power, but Shuiqian Wangbaduo, such a small yamen is full of hills, and intrigues all day long.

The leaders above are not focused on work, but on fighting for power and profit.

I have some background, but I'm not strong enough. The more we are like this, the more we have to fight. We can't be treated as soft persimmons. Otherwise, everyone will bully us, and we will have a bad life. "

In the future, he will join the Telecommunications Bureau, and he is still a deputy leader. Before taking office, Yue Wenxuan had better have a brief understanding of the leaders, big and small, in the department, so as to facilitate his work after joining.

What Yan Zhiheng said was very straightforward, and he directly regarded him as his own, so Yue Wenxuan also regarded himself as his own, and took the opportunity to ask more basic information and internal information in the department.

Even if Yue Wenxuan didn't ask, Yan Zhiheng would explain in detail the things that should be paid attention to. Now that Yue Wenxuan asked for advice humbly, he would not have any reservations.

The two of them chatted like this for an hour before they ended the topic.

Yan Zhiheng finally said: "I'll call someone over first and take the two of you to work.

I will officially go to work tomorrow, and I will treat you at noon. I will clean up the dust for the two of you, and introduce a few friends to you by the way. "

After another round of courtesies, Yue Wenxuan and his wife, led by a staff member, went to go through the entry procedures.

The procedure went smoothly, and all the procedures were completed in less than half an hour.

Yue Wenxuan went to Yan Zhiheng's office to say hello, and then took Meng Yining home.

As soon as she entered the house, the sister-in-law who was busy in the main room couldn't wait to ask:

Yue Wenxuan cheerfully announced the good news: "How is it? Did you find a job?"

“It went very well, both of us have completed the entry procedures.

My friend's classmate is the deputy director of the Telecommunications Bureau. He is one of the main leaders and has real power.

After I joined the job, I directly served as the deputy chief of the maintenance department, and Yining worked as a telegrapher. "

"As soon as I joined the job, I was the deputy section chief! It's really unexpected, it seems that the deputy director has a lot of power.

When you go to work, you have to thank them well. "

This news surprised the old lady so much that she couldn't believe it.

Mother Meng was equally happy, and then asked, "Did you say anything about the salary?"

Meng Yining took his old lady's hand and said happily: "My salary is a little lower, and I will give you a salary of 900 yuan after joining the job, and it will gradually increase in the future.

Wenxuan's salary is higher. He is the deputy section chief, and his monthly salary is 500 yuan, almost twice as much as mine. "

Mother Meng said with satisfaction: "After all, it is a provincial capital city, and the salary is higher than that of a small county."

"The salary is indeed much higher than that of a small county, but if we live on this salary, it will be difficult, and our whole family will have to go hungry.

In today's world, prices are rising too fast, but monthly salaries are rising too slowly, or even not at all.

If there is no other source of income, let alone ordinary people, even in a good unit like the Telecommunications Bureau, life for ordinary employees is also difficult. "

Yue Wenxuan said with a feeling in his heart.

Prices this year have almost doubled compared to last year, but wages in various industries will never double, and many industries have not increased at all.

Even in a good unit like the Telecommunications Bureau, the wages haven't risen much, let alone those departments that have difficulty in raising wages.

In this war-torn era, how difficult is the life of ordinary people?

Those middle-class families in the past could barely have enough to eat.

Even middle-class families are so difficult, let alone ordinary people who have no skills.

After Yue Wenxuan and Meng Yining officially started working, even if their family had completely settled down in Chang'an, they had really stood firm.

Although the wages earned by the two are quite a lot, it is nothing compared to the income from the family's small business.

Although their wages do not account for a large proportion of family income, the whole family attaches great importance to their work.

In this era, having money does not mean having social status. If you have money but no power, you might be robbed by others.

Although the telecommunications bureau where Yue Wenxuan and his wife work is not a real power department, they work in the public sector after all, and the contacts they have made are also not to be underestimated.

It may not be useful in normal times, but if something happens, it will highlight the importance of connections.

Both the old lady and Meng's mother understood this truth, so they supported Yue Wenxuan in finding a decent job, instead of keeping him at home to help run the family's small business.

The next day, Yue Wenxuan and Meng Yining went to their respective jobs.

After half a day, Meng Yining's work went smoothly.

She is very proficient in her business, she is handy in everything she does, has no problems in her work, and gets along very well with her colleagues.

When we first met, the relationship was very good, no one was even bullying, everyone was kind and spoke nicely.

Meng Yining knew in her heart that the present situation was not due to her being well-rounded, nor was it because all of her colleagues were kind.

There is only one reason - she was introduced by Deputy Director Yan Zhiheng.

Everyone was very friendly to her, but it was just for the face of Deputy Director Yan Zhiheng, and it had nothing to do with her personally.

Meng Yining is just an ordinary telegrapher, he just needs to work hard, and there is no conflict of interest with other people. With the support of the deputy director, the work will naturally go smoothly.

Yue Wenxuan was the deputy section chief as soon as he joined the job. Although he didn't do anything, the stakeholders already disliked him and even hated him.

Therefore, after he joined the job, he clearly felt some people's dislike and even hatred for him.

There are more than 20 people in the maintenance department, and three of them gave him this feeling.

One of them is Cai Zhengyou, the section chief, and the other two are Hu Maocai and Zheng Yongan, who are qualified to compete for deputy section chiefs.

For Hu Maocai and Zheng Yongan, Yue Wenxuan didn't pay attention to them. These two people have no foundation, even if they have hatred in their hearts, they can only hide it in their hearts and dare not show it.

The only thing he has to pay attention to is Cai Zhengyou, the section chief.

Cai Zhengyou was picked up by the head of the unit, and the backstage is tougher than Yue Wenxuan, and he occupies the position of leader. If he is determined to wear small shoes for him, it will definitely be a little troublesome.

Although he had this knowledge, Yue Wenxuan didn't care. He had a wealth of experience in workplace struggles, and dealing with such a person was nothing but a piece of cake.

Even if he only uses upright methods, he still has a lot of ways to deal with and even counterattack.

Now is the period of war, if necessary, he does not mind using some unconventional means.

It would be easier if he was forced to use drastic means to deal with this person.

Fortunately, Cai Zhengyou is not the kind of person who has no brains. Even if he doesn't like him in his heart, it's just hidden in his heart, and he still looks happy on the surface.

Yan Zhiheng treated guests at noon, but Yue Wenxuan did not bring Meng Yining with him.

Yan Zhiheng called five people to accompany him, all of whom were section chiefs and deputy section chiefs in the unit. These people had one thing in common—all of them were very close to Yan Zhiheng.

As soon as Yue Wenxuan joined the job, Yan Zhiheng promoted him to the position of deputy section chief, which shows how close the relationship between the two is.

Everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the trenches. The section chiefs and deputy section chiefs who met for the first time were very enthusiastic.

Yue Wenxuan's social skills are very flexible, and whether he performs well depends on whether he is willing to do it.

If he doesn't want to have a relationship with people, he may act very cold and make people feel unapproachable.

But if he wants to communicate with people, he will definitely make people feel like a spring breeze and become a confidant.

Especially at the wine table, he has the space to cheat, he can drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, and there is no limit on the amount of alcohol he can let him play. His boldness, sincerity, humor, and erudition are vividly displayed.

After just a drink, several people present have already introduced him as a confidant.

Regardless of the future development, at least it left a very good first impression on everyone.

A forthright, sincere and shrewd person, on the premise of no conflict of interest, everyone is willing to associate with him.

At the wine table, Yan Zhiheng didn't say much, and only occasionally interjected a sentence. He put all his energy on Yue Wenxuan, and all of Yue Wenxuan's performances were in his eyes.

Zhao Guanhua's introduction to Yue Wenxuan in the letter was detailed and clear enough. Yan Zhiheng did not doubt the old classmate's judgment, but it was necessary to verify it again.

Today was Yue Wenxuan and Meng Yining's first day at work, and the whole family was very concerned about it. When they got home at night, the old lady and Meng's mother would inevitably ask questions.

The two of them were nothing more than asking whether the work was going well and whether the colleagues were easy to get along with. After getting an affirmative answer, they were very happy.

Yue Wenxuan is also very concerned about the family's small business.

He asked Yue Jiashi: "Jiashi, Gong Daqiang has been with you for a day, do you think he can do it?
If it doesn't work, don't force it, don't think it's easy to sell things, but not everyone is like this.

Gong Daqiang is an honest man, he may not be able to earn this money.

If he is not suitable for this job, I will find a way for him. "

"Fourth Uncle, you underestimate people. How difficult it is to make money now, as long as you can make money, a fool can become a smart person.

Even if Daqiang is not that material, in order to earn money and feed his family, he will definitely become that material. "

After defending Gong Daqiang, Yue Jiashi went on to say:

"Daqiang is indeed a bit honest and not suitable for doing business, but he is willing to learn, and he learns quite quickly.

I took him all morning, and he was basically able to sell goods by himself.

He was the one who went out to sell the goods in the afternoon, and there was no shortage of sales. The ten catties of stewed pork head meat were all sold out.

He made a total of forty or fifty, but he was overjoyed. "
