When the old director is not in the bureau, Director Gao is the highest leader.

  The director of the high payment bureau has a good name, happy, people are like their names, every day is smiling, and the spring light is beautiful.

  Some people say that Director Gao is the old directors carefully cultivated successor, and this sentence makes sense to Xiang Tianliang, who thinks that Director Gao is just a shadow of the old director.

  In the party group, Gao Xing is the only deputy secretary, and his signature in documents is second only to that of the old director. In meetings, it goes without saying that he always sits on the left side of the old director, unless he is absent.

  Xiang Tianliangs tasks in the office were mainly trivial, but everyone knew that he was Yu Feilongs fellow townsman and former student, and also someone brought by Yu Feilong from the municipal party committee organization department, of course, he was Yu Feilongs man.

  Gao Xing and Yu Fei Longs contradictions, the cleaning staff in the bureau all knew about it, but Gao Xing didnt mind these things. Last month, at the completion acceptance ceremony of the Municipal Continuing Education School building, Gao Xing also "absorbed" Xiang Tian Liang into the acceptance team.

  That was the first time since working with Tian Liang that he had close contact with Gao Xing, to be honest, Tian Liang really admired Gao Xings business level, in comparison, Yu Feilong who was in charge of political work and discipline inspection was far inferior.

  He clearly remembered that day when he was inspecting the teaching building and laboratory building at the school, walking back and forth on the skybridge between them with his hands behind his back. He wasnt paying much attention, but saw him smiling as he told Manager Wang of the construction company that the midpoint connection of the skybridge had a straight-line error of eight centimeters on both sides.

  Its settled then! The two engineers from the inspection team measured with their instruments for over 20 minutes and the conclusion proved that Happys judgment was not wrong at all.

  Gao Xing actively went to Tian Liangs office, which was the first time in half a year. He knew his situation was not good, being stuck between Gao Xing and Yu Feilong.

  The office of Gao Xing was always clean and bright, even more so than the old directors office. It was just like his hair, which was always neatly combed. As soon as he entered, he couldnt help but glance at the building models on display. Gao Xing loved collecting building models, and every time he went to inspect a newly completed building, he would find a way to collect some models and place them in his office for slow appreciation.

  Look at those envious eyes looking up to the sky, happy and a bit complacent. This kid is also a romantic at heart.

  "Xiao Xiang, your face is so pale, are you sick?" Gaoxing asked with concern.

  Xiang Tianliang forced a smile, "Thank you, Director Gao. Im fine, just a little uncomfortable, probably because I didnt sleep well last night."

  "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly." He said with a happy smile, "You are working hard in Dayang Village to help the poor, but you must take care of your body. The body is the capital of revolution, if the body collapses, everything will be gone."

  Today, Director Gao is as amiable as ever, with a smile and concern on his face. But who knows what hes hiding in his heart? Many people say that behind Director Gaos gentle smile lies a knife that has cut down many people, so dont get too close to him.

  Xiang Tianliang slowly sat down on the sofa, making an effort to maintain a respectful attitude: "Director Gao, what instructions do you have for me?"

  "Theres no instruction." He said with a hint of blame, waving his hand excitedly, "Xiao Xiang, Im not saying you, but does the leaders words all count as instructions? I just wanted to have a casual chat with you, dont overthink it."

  Xiang Tianliang hastily nodded and said: "Yes."

  In front of the leader, put on a humble appearance, that is the basic course for entering the door in the organ.

  Delighted, he continued to wave his hand, his tone even more amiable. "So, you dont have to be so formal. If you keep being so serious, Ill be unhappy."

  Delighted to say not delighted, delighted himself laughed, towards Tian Liang also followed lightly laughing.

  Xiang Tianliang replied: "Director Wang, Im used to it in front of leaders and cant change it."

  "Go ahead and pretend, then." Delighted, he pointed at the sky, still smiling, and thought to himself, "This kid is really something, neither arrogant nor humble, calm and composed. Hes a real chameleon, speaking to people in their own language, and to ghosts in theirs. How come I didnt notice this earlier? No wonder he gets along so smoothly in the bureau office. The bureau office is a place where only the clever ones thrive, not just anyone can make it there. Where did this kid learn all this from? Was it something he brought with him since birth? Yu Feilong, he doesnt have what it takes to cultivate someone like that."

  Delighted, he pulled out an envelope from the drawer and tossed it onto the sofa where Xiang Tianliang was sitting. "This is a red envelope that Manager Wang of the First Construction Company in the city entrusted me to give you. Last time we went to inspect the renovated school, he gave everyone a red envelope afterwards. You went to Dayang Village, so this red envelope has been with me all along."

  "Director Gao, this..."

  Delighted, smiling and asking: "Didnt Old Liu tell you?"

  Tian Liang said: "Old Liu has already said it." Last time when going to inspect and repair the school, Old Liu also went.

  "Take it, when in Rome do as the Romans do. More than ten people went and everyone took some, just you didnt take any, what would you have others do?"

  This makes sense, Tian Gao put the envelope into his pocket and said "Thank you, Director." Son of a bitch, dont take it for nothing, just now when I touched it, there were at least ten 100-yuan bills in it. Dont mess with anyone, but also dont mess with money.

  He happily waved his hand, pointing at those building models and laughed, "Hows that, beautiful, right?"

  "Beautiful, too beautiful."

  "In fact, those are all inferior products, and the genuine ones are stored in the design institutes warehouse."

  "Oh, I thought they were all genuine, and it seems like theres nothing wrong with them," said Tian Liang.

  "Yes, so-called genuine and fake products, actually dont have much difference." Xiang Tianliang said excitedly "There are only defective products that should be discarded, and genuine products are rare, so a large number of fake products still play their due role. However, genuine and fake products are relative, different people have different standards, and will get different results."

  Theres more to it than meets the eye, its getting interesting.

  "Director Gao, youre being too philosophical."

  Gao Xing suddenly asked: "Xiao Xiang, do you like authentic or fake goods?"

  "If I had a choice, Id still choose second best."

  "Why?"

  Xiang Tian Liang said: "The genuine product is too perfect and noble, rare and hard to come by. Rather than exhausting oneself in pursuit of it, its better to retreat and seek the next best thing."

  Good boy, youre absolutely right!

  Delighted to stare at the bright smile, "Actually, being a person is also the same. In my eyes, you, Little Xiang, in the Construction Bureau building, are the closest to perfection. Your behavior and handling of things are almost flawless."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled wryly: "Director Gao, I dont dare to accept your praise. Im not the real deal and I dont want to work too hard to be one."

  "Haha, dont be in such a hurry."

  "Director Gao, youre looking for me? Somethings up?" Tian Liang deduced.

  "Its just a small matter." Smiling happily.

  "You go ahead and speak."

  "Im asking you privately, can you help me find out who stole the safe from the directors office?"

  Faint.

  Indeed, a dagger hidden behind a smile.

  Xiang Tianliangs heart skipped a beat, and his two ears suddenly started trembling slightly.
