Chapter 21: The Seismological Bureau Wants to Recruit People

  "Director Chen, we are building an earthquake monitoring station on the south side of Xin Bridge. The district is attaching great importance to this project, I think it will be handed over to us soon. I have a friend who is in the construction business, his company has a second-level qualification, and handing over the project to them would be more than enough. I just wanted to discuss this with you..."

  Deng Peng hadn't finished speaking, but Chen Gong had already understood his intention, which was to give the project to his friend. "Chen, you don't seem to understand the current government department's requirements," Deng said. "For this kind of project, we adopt a bidding mode to select the construction company. So, if your friend wants to do it, let him register and we'll see who gets selected in the end."

  Chen Gong's response was neither refusal nor consent, leaving Deng Peng at a loss for words. "Director Chen, I'll take my leave first and discuss it with my friend. We can settle the details privately later. You're busy."

  Chen Gong ignored Deng Peng again and buried his head in reviewing documents.

  Due to the relationship with Wang Shuai, director of the Provincial Seismological Bureau, Yang Qian, head of Xinjiang District, also had a 180-degree change in attitude towards Chen Gong, and there was no longer any dislike in his heart, only concern.

  Chen Gong didn't know the relationship between Yang Qian and Wang Shuai, although he heard Yang Qian call Wang Shuai "old leader". Originally, Yang Qian was from the Provincial Seismological Bureau, and it was Wang Shuai who promoted him to a mid-level leadership position. Later, with Wang Shuai's strong recommendation, Yang Qian was transferred to Fuhai City Agricultural Development Bureau, and then to Xin Qiao District. Therefore, Yang Qian's current position as district head is entirely due to Wang Shuai's years of cultivation. Yang Qian knew that among the officials who left the Seismological Bureau in a year, he could count on one hand those who were able to walk out like him today.

  Yang Qian's change in attitude towards Chen Gong also made Chen Gong feel happy, with the support of the district head, his work went smoothly, and Yuan Weihua, who was afraid of earthquakes, would not bother the earthquake bureau either.

  Due to the earthquake bureau transferring a section chief last year and handling the retirement of an employee, the earthquake bureau had a heavy workload today. Although they didn't lack technical expertise, they lacked someone skilled at writing articles. Therefore, Chen Gong asked Director Xu to draft a report and submit it to the personnel bureau, so that in next month's exam, their earthquake bureau would also be included, and two more positions for public institutions would be allocated.

  The reply came down quickly. The district is highly concerned about the earthquake situation, so the personnel bureau also hurriedly added the information of the earthquake situation to it.

  Chen Gong had participated in the civil service examination before, although this time it was a unified recruitment of district-level public institutions, but the type is similar. Chen Gong also decided to participate in the interview stage in person to avoid power and money transactions, hidden rules.

  The earthquake bureau is busy with the formalities of setting up a seismic monitoring station in the district development and reform bureau, so Chen Gong is not that busy. He suddenly thought of personally setting the interview questions for the exam. Originally, Chen Gong wanted to set all the questions himself, but this was a unified examination, which mainly tested administrative ability, argumentation, public basic knowledge and other things that he couldn't change.

  Chen Gong has experienced this kind of examination, which is not much different from the eight-part essay in ancient times. It tests knowledge, not quality.

  Let's take an example, now the software for testing IQ all come up with what kind of questions, they are all of the same type as administrative ability test questions. That is to say, those who are good at administrative ability tests are high in IQ, not necessarily. Moreover, this administrative ability test is not a fair test under the condition that everyone does not know the question type. This thing is like math problems, the more you practice, the more skilled you become, doing questions all day in the house will definitely get high scores, but has your own ability been demonstrated? No.

  Let's talk about the Shu Lun essay, this thing is even more nonsense. First of all, it relies on luck, why do I say that? Because many teachers in cram schools are guessing questions, if they guess correctly, then all their students will get high scores. Is this based on their own understanding and analysis? No, it's all memorized. Moreover, the main focus of this exam is still composition, and individual decision-making ability cannot be reflected.

  General knowledge, this is a comprehensive exam of history, politics and geography, it's really ridiculous. Chen Gong thought for a moment, there was no way out, the country of Huaxia was like this, he didn't know how many positions were occupied by people who had neither ability nor hard work, while those who wanted to do things and could do things had no space to display their talents.

  Chen Gong made a silent vow in his heart that one day, when he would be in charge of this place, even if it was just this small Xinqiao District, he would make it prosperous and respond to the country's slogan: openness, fairness, and justice.

  Chen Gong invited Huang Haibo and Wang Qian out for a meal after a busy week of work, these two guys didn't even return to the capital city during Chinese New Year, they need to be educated.

  At the gathering, Chen Gong understood that Wang Qian didn't return to Beijing because his family had no one left, and he had a younger brother who was taking care of his grandfather. Huang Haibo told Chen Gong that he had already made it clear to his parents that if he couldn't get a promotion above bureau level, he wouldn't go back, this is a do-or-die situation, without pressure there's no motivation.

  Huang Hai Bo is in a great mood tonight, feeling like he's won five million dollars. He can't help but smile foolishly to himself, and when others ask him what's going on, he just doesn't respond, being very mysterious about it.

  After drinking, Chen Gong did not return to his own nest at night, but went to Song Huiyun's home. Song Huiyun had made several phone calls and parted ways for more than a dozen days. Song Huiyun missed Chen Gong very much in her heart.

  As soon as Chen Gong entered the door, Song Huiyun rushed up and hugged him tightly, just like if she let go of him for a moment he would disappear. She held him for ten minutes before letting go, Chen Gong knew how much Song Huiyun loved him, so he stood there with his arms around her slender waist.

  Feeling Song Huiyun's twin peaks rubbing against his chest, Chen Gong was a bit unbearable. His hands, which were originally wrapped around Song Huiyun's slender waist, slowly extended to her lower body.

  Song Huiyun already felt Chen Gong's hand entering her pants, and immediately pushed Chen Gong away. "Chen Gong, sit down first, why drink so much to get drunk? Look at you, all dizzy, go to the sofa, I'll make some sobering soup for you."

  Song Huiyun's family originally never prepared these things, but after getting to know Chen Gong, she knew that there were many social engagements in the official circle, so she prepared some hangover remedies at home. If Chen Gong got drunk one day, she could do something for him.

  In fact, Song Huiyun's heart didn't ask Chen Gong to give her anything. She only asked Chen Gong to accompany her. She just wanted to quietly do things for Chen Gong. Chen Gong had been drinking and was very grateful to Song Huiyun in his heart. If he were ten years younger, he would definitely hold this woman in his hands and melt into his heart.

  Song Huiyun spent the New Year alone on Hainan Island, but her mind wasn't really on having fun. She was thinking about Chen Gong all the time. When choosing a gift, she took a long time and finally chose a couple's watch because she knew Chen Gong didn't have the habit of wearing a watch and usually checked the time with his phone. Although most young people do it this way now, Chen Gong is after all a bureau chief, mature in heart, and should also look mature on the outside.

  After giving the watch to Chen Gong, Chen Gong was very happy. In fact, he didn't need Song Huiyun to give him anything, because he knew that no matter how good he was to Song Huiyun and how much he gave her, it would never be as much as what she had given him.

  Song Huiyun put the watch on Chen Gong's left wrist, "Chen Gong, look, I have one too, and I've already worn it." The two watches were indeed a pair, both silver-colored, but Chen Gong's was very large and masculine, giving off the feeling of a man who had been out making a living and returning home. In contrast, Song Huiyun's watch was small and delicate, exuding a sense of a virtuous wife managing the household. Song Huiyun put the two wrists together, looked at them, and smiled happily.

  Chen Gong drank the soup and felt much better from his dizziness. Song Huiyun waited for Chen Gong to finish drinking, then immediately took the bowl away to wash it clean. Chen Gong also thought he should help with the chores, so he rushed over to wash them too. However, Song Huiyun wouldn't let Chen Gong do these tasks at all. The two of them struggled and tussled, causing the bowl to fall to the ground with a loud crash. Both of them were startled for a moment. Song Huiyun quickly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces. Chen Gong knew that Song Huiyun didn't want him to do these things, so he gave up. He was content knowing that she cared about him in her heart.

  "Ah!" Chen Gong noticed that Song Huiyun had put her right index finger into her mouth and sucked on it, knowing that Song Huiyun's hand had been cut. He immediately squatted down, grabbed Song Huiyun's finger and put it in his own mouth, then took it out and blew on it. The finger was still cut with a nearly one-centimeter wound. Seeing Chen Gong's painful expression, Song Huiyun felt very sweet in her heart.

  Chen Gong supported Song Huiyun to sit on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen to fetch the cleaning tools. He searched for the fragments on the floor again and again, making sure there were none left before pouring the trash from the dustpan into the garbage bag.

  After Chen Gong finished collecting the laundry, he came over and sat with Song Huiyun to watch TV. Who knew that someone as old as Song Huiyun, and such a mature person, would also like watching "My Fair Princess".

  On TV, Er Kang was telling Zi Wei, the emperor doesn't let me associate with you, he thinks you're a woman with a lot of heart and mind, thinks you're unfathomable. Zi Wei replied, how would the emperor know, he hasn't even had close contact with me, what's so unfathomable about me, I've always been like this.

  Chen Gong burst out laughing, Song Huiyun looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Two people in love can't be together, you're gloating and laughing out loud, I think you have a bit of perverted thinking."

  Chen Gong didn't know whether he should tell Song Huiyun or not, but he thought to himself that he might as well say it since they were already so "familiar". "Sister Song, did you hear what Er Kang and Zi Wei said earlier? 'Deeply mysterious', and Zi Wei even said how would the Emperor know if he hadn't been in contact with her before. She also said she's always been like that. Haha."

  Song Huiyun still didn't understand, why Chen Gong was laughing, actually Chen Gong understood that Zi Wei said her "lower body" was unfathomable, and the emperor hadn't tried it before so how would he know, Zi Wei also said she had always been like this, Song Huiyun's face turned red after hearing this, and she lightly punched Chen Gong's chest with her small fist, Chen Gong hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek and neck, Song Huiyun also let out a pleasured "ah, ah..."

  The two quickly entwined their tongues, Chen Gong's hand unconsciously grasped Song Huiyun's full chest, squeezing hard, while the other hand had already gently caressed inside Song Huiyun's pants.

  Chen Gong was still not fully sober from drinking, so his hands were heavy. Song Huiyun's chest was pinched by Chen Gong and it hurt a lot. Originally she had been enjoying herself, but now she felt pain. "Ah, lighter, Chen Gong, my chest hurts."

  Chen Gong knew he had used too much force and immediately lightened up, "Sister Song, are you unfathomable?"

  Chen Gong learned it immediately and used it right away, bringing the lines here. Song Huiyun smiled, "You've actually tried it out, have you?"

  A woman approaching forty is really like a fierce tiger, the two of them embracing and moving to the bedside, Song Huiyun taking the initiative to strip off Chen Gong's clothes, squatting down to "serve" Chen Gong, Chen Gong unexpectedly couldn't hold back and sprayed everything into Song Huiyun's mouth.

  Although so, Song Huiyun still did not give up, and insisted that Chen Gong continue, adopting the action of female on top of male. Song Huiyun's actions were very exaggerated and unrestrained, her whole body twisting and turning like a snake on Chen Gong's body, so Chen Gong quickly recovered his "strength".

  ……

  The next day, Deng Peng came to Chen Gong's office and said, "Director Chen, I heard that the bureau is going to recruit some personnel with professional qualifications. I have a friend's child who graduated from undergraduate studies, and that young man is quite capable..."

  Chen Gong was really speechless towards Deng Peng, "Director Deng, can't you just not think about these things all day? Can't you just do your job properly?"
