Chapter 144: What is Excellence

  In an institution's daily routine, there is always a set of established arrangements that have been passed down. What changes are the people and forms, but some things remain unchangeable and unwilling to be changed by anyone.

  For example, the Spring Festival holiday is 15 days in total. Eight days before the festival and seven days after are spent celebrating. For instance, the welfare issues before the festival are also of utmost importance. Even when leaders are busiest, they will not neglect this matter; otherwise, they would not be qualified as leaders.

  The Construction Bureau is not a clean government agency, unlike some departments that rely on fiscal allocations to "welfare" everyone, the Construction Bureau's little treasure chest is full.

  The 23rd day of the lunar calendar is a holiday, and the 21st and 22nd are days for "beating local tyrants and dividing land". The "local tyrants" being beaten are small-time profiteers, and what's being divided isn't land but cash.

  The formal staffing of the office has only five people, Ye Nan, Xu Hengtai, Liu Zhengfeng, Li Yajuan and Xiang Tianliang. The bureau allocated more than 30,000 yuan in bonuses, plus the office's own annual surplus, totaling more than 50,000 yuan that can be freely disposed of.

  It's only natural for leaders to take the lion's share, but Deputy Director Ye Nan didn't consider herself a leader and instead implemented an ultra-egalitarian policy, with everyone getting 10,000 yuan each.

  Of course, it's been less than half a year since Tian Liang went to work, so taking 10,000 yuan is a bit embarrassing. So when the money was divided, Ye Nang took out 4,000 yuan from his 10,000 and gave it to the other four people.

  Liu Zhengfeng's hands had an extra thousand, and his face changed from cloudy to sunny.

  But in the end, Tian Liang only got 9,000 because Xu Hengtai, Li Yajuan and Ye Nan all inexplicably returned 1,000 yuan to him.

  Only after receiving the 9,000 yuan did I finally understand the benefits of this complicated system. It turns out that the bonus is even more than my salary! And tomorrow, there's still a unified distribution of seafood, fruits, and shopping vouchers from the bureau.

  However, as a newcomer, Xiang Tianliang has one thing that must be done, which is to work on holidays. This is an old rule of the Construction Bureau for over 20 years, and Ye Nan does not dare to break it.

  After dividing the money and arranging the shift duties, the meeting in the bureau's office was over.

  Liu Zhengfeng is now a "lonely person", carrying his bag and leaving, Xu Hengtai also wants to leave in a hurry. He and his wife bought an afternoon train ticket to visit their newborn grandson.

  Ye Nan is a bit special, her husband is an active serviceman. Originally this year was supposed to be spent accompanying her parents-in-law in the provincial city for the holidays, but her husband suddenly had a task and it's unclear when he'll finish, so she changed her original plans and stayed in Qinghe first, waiting for her husband to complete his task before reuniting with him in the provincial city.

  It was obvious that Ye Nian had changed a lot since becoming the acting director of the office, and she even had a few more airs about her. She wasn't as "familiar" with herself as she used to be at the beginning, and only when she was extremely hungry in that aspect would she take the initiative to get close.

  There were only one man and two women left in the office, and Li Yajuan took the initiative to make a joke.

  "Yenan, taking this opportunity of passing the Spring Festival, you should also settle your major life events."

  "What's this big thing in life?" Ye Nan asked, momentarily confused.

  Li Yajuan said with a mix of self-deprecation and seriousness, "You're almost thirty now, it's time to have a kid, whether it's a boy or girl, it's always the woman's responsibility. Don't be like me, an old hen who can't lay eggs. If your in-laws give you trouble, you'll become the second Li Yajuan."

  Yenang walked over to Xiang Tianliang's side and sat down, smiling as he said: "I don't have any plans in this regard within the next three years."

  Tian Liang heard this and burst out laughing with a "Pffft" sound.

  "Heavens, you're just a naive little kid, what are you laughing at?" Ye Nang pushed Tian Liang away.

  He looked at Ye Nang's "airport" with a fearless gaze, and chuckled, "I won't say it, I'm afraid some people will get angry if I do."

  "Should I say it, or should sister Ya Juan say it?"

  "Go on."

  "Well, in that case, I'd like to hear it. Don't worry, I won't get angry."

  Xiang Tianliang said to Li Yajuan: "Sister Li, you don't know what Ye Jie is thinking, but I understand her little tricks."

  "Really? Then tell me about it." Li Yajuan was all ears.

  Tian Liang said, "Sister Ye has just become the deputy director of the office and hasn't even warmed up to her new role. If she were to have a child now, it would be quite inconvenient. With the arrival of the new bureau chief, someone will definitely be appointed to replace her. Sister Ye's position as deputy director is not secure, so she won't have a child within the next three years. If she does give birth, it will have to wait until after she becomes the director."

  Ye Nan's face turned red, and she poked the bright forehead with her finger, "You little rascal, your mind is still quite big."

  "Hehe, Ye Jie, you'd better be careful, there's someone as excellent as me in the office, if you're not careful, I'll definitely replace you."

  Yenang smiled mischievously, "Tian Liang, are you excellent?"

  "Of course, excellent, especially excellent."

  At this time, Ye Nannan and Li Yajuan exchanged a glance, as if they had a tacit understanding, and both looked towards the direction of Xiang Tianliang.

  There, even if it's calm and peaceful, there will be a hint of high mountains.

  Li Yajuan smiled and said, "It looks very good."

  "Unexhibited excellence is not excellence." Ye Nan spoke like he was giving a speech at a meeting, very seriously.

  He hastily retreated a few steps back, trying to avoid disturbing the scene, but ironically, this only made him stand out even more.

  "You're really great." Li Yajuan's face also started to blush.

  Ye Nan's eyes were distant, "Must be very excellent."

  "What is excellence?"

  Yen'an replied: "Summon him and he will come, come and be able to fight, fight and be able to win, strong as iron, hard as steel, long as a pine tree, thick as a club, nothing can withstand it, breaking dry and withered wood, this is what we call excellent."

  "Is that really great?"

  "Often together, didn't you see, Sister Li?"

  "No good fortune in sight."

  "Hehe, work hard."

  This is not an office, it's a woman-dominated world.

  The two women burst out laughing.

  Good fortune is also good luck.

  After laughing wildly, Xiang Tianliang suddenly turned gloomy, "Damn it, it's really 'a woman does not know the sorrow of losing her country', I'm in this situation now, all four deputy directors can't wait to swallow me whole, how can you guys still laugh?"

  Yen Nan immediately said: "You're exaggerating, aren't you? Yesterday the leaders had a meeting and everyone was very concerned about you. If you're not happy, would they be able to withstand your timed explosive?"

  Li Ya-jun also said: "Ye Nan is right, now it's a balanced state, as long as the balance is not broken, you are safe."

  "Alas, I hope so." Xiang Tianliang stretched out his hand to Ye Nian and borrowed her car, "Sister Ye, Li and I have something to attend to, can we borrow your car?"

  "Can you tell me what's going on?" Ye Nan asked.

  "It's settled then. To avoid suspicion, you can only know afterwards." Xiang Tianliang snatched the car keys from him.

  As soon as they walked out of the office building and got into the car, Li Yajuan asked: "Xiao Xiang, are you going to start your plan?"

  Xiang Tianliang started the car.

  "Only Li Jie understands me, let's get started then."
