Today is the weekend, and there are only a few people left in the office.
Leaving early on weekends seems to have become a common practice. Gu Qiu has long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere within the system. Usually, when these people stay in the office, they either chat, crack melon seeds, play mahjong or poker.
Or they discuss where to have a dinner party and go to karaoke at night.
Before, Gu Qiu didn't know that life within the system could be so leisurely.
No wonder some people say that once you enter the system, you only do three things in your life: eat and drink for free, and wait for death.
After observing for more than a month, Gu Qiu found that at least most people are like this. The remaining small number of people rack their brains, desperately curry favor with the leaders, and strive to move up.
It's less than two months since Gu Qiu entered the Investment Promotion Office of Anping County. In this circle, he is neither good nor bad. In his own words, he is neither in touch with the core nor separated from the masses.
But Gu Qiu is a genuine top student in the Investment Promotion Office. He graduated from Jingnan University. Such a talent is definitely rare throughout Anping County.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that the office director, Chen Yan, actively requested Gu Qiu to come.
Chen Yan is a young woman in her late twenties. Although she can't be described as extremely beautiful or breathtakingly charming, she can still be considered a beautiful woman, like a plum blossom blooming alone in the cold winter, with charm and grace, in this small Investment Promotion Office.
Chen Yan has a good figure. She is about one meter and sixty-something centimeters tall, and her stunning measurements often make the men in the Investment Promotion Office salivate. Gu Qiu doesn't know much about Chen Yan. He just thinks that Chen Yan is a very nice person, considerate, gentle, and caring like an older sister.
Just a few days after coming here, Gu Qiu felt that the burning gazes around him seemed to all want something from Chen Yan. The longing in their eyes is precisely the evil thoughts hidden deep in the hearts of men.
Although there are quite a few women in the Investment Promotion Office, the other women are either faded flowers or with strange shapes or odd tempers, like hedgehogs.
Gu Qiu has always been very curious. Where did the Investment Promotion Office find so many dinosaur-level female creatures that could devastate the entire world? Later, he learned that Director Xie of the Investment Promotion Office accepted the relatives of some leaders without hesitation in order to win people's hearts.
In the past three years, the Investment Promotion Office has almost become a shelter center, gathering mediocre talents.
Gu Qiu reviewed the three-year history of the Investment Promotion Office. In these three years, not a penny of foreign investment was introduced, but millions of yuan were spent on hospitality. The entire organization and institution were extremely bloated. There were eight deputy directors alone, and there were more than a dozen other departments of all kinds.
There were more than sixty formal staff members of all sizes.
Anping County is just a small mountainous county. There is no booming economy, no strong foreign investment. There are only mountains and rivers and dusty sandy roads.
When he first arrived, Gu Qiu couldn't figure out at all why his father placed him in Anping County, Nanchuan City. The Gu family has no foundation in this place in Nanchuan. At this moment, Gu Qiu is like a piece on a chessboard, far away from the main camp, with no support.
When it was almost time to get off work, the office director, Chen Yan, walked in. "Gu Qiu? Why haven't you left work yet?"
Gu Qiu stood up. "Director Chen, it's not time to get off work yet."
Chen Yan laughed. The profound meaning in her smile was something that Gu Qiu couldn't figure out. Perhaps in Chen Yan's eyes, Gu Qiu was a bit simple, dull, and too principled.
Everyone has left. You're not the only one left. Besides, not only in the Investment Promotion Office, but also in other units, when it comes to the weekend, who still has the mind to stay in the office?
Returning to the wide desk of the office director, Chen Yan suddenly remembered something. "Are you free? Take another look at the planning proposal for the third anniversary of the Investment Promotion Office and send it to Director Xie's office in ten minutes."
Chen Yan didn't stay in the office for more than two minutes when Director Xie Bisheng called in. "Chen Yan, come over here."
Gu Qiu is new here, but Chen Yan is an old hand. Being able to become the director of the Investment Promotion Office, she should not be an ordinary person. Gu Qiu is not yet very familiar with the internal situation of the Investment Promotion Office.
Anyway, in his eyes, these people do nothing all day long.
After receiving the call, Chen Yan said to Gu Qiu, "Remember, you must send the planning proposal over in ten minutes."
Watching her leave in a hurry, Gu Qiu unintentionally glanced at her. Chen Yan was wearing black wide-leg pants. When she walked, the wide trouser legs fluttered with the wind.
Whether it was because Chen Yan's buttocks were rather plump or the upper part of the trousers was a bit small, the elastic fabric appropriately highlighted Chen Yan's exaggerated roundness.
When Gu Qiu watched her leave, his face flushed with heat. To be honest, although Gu Qiu, who is only twenty-two years old, is a top student and has a passionate pursuit of beautiful women.
But he definitely has no intention towards Chen Yan. Although Chen Yan is good-looking, she is over twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and has no much attraction for Gu Qiu. This is just an inherent sensory stimulation of human beings, having a certain instinctive reaction to certain organs of the opposite sex.
Gu Qiu secretly thought that with Chen Yan's looks, staying in the Investment Promotion Office surrounded by wolves is likely to be full of crises.
For some reason, when watching Chen Yan leave, Gu Qiu suddenly had a strange and restless feeling in his heart.
This report was originally supposed to be done by Chen Yan. Chen Yan did read Gu Qiu's resume and knew that he was a genuine top student, so she handed this planning case to Gu Qiu to do.
When Chen Yan submitted the plan, a few suggestions for revision were raised. Gu Qiu only spent less than ten minutes to revise the planning proposal.
Holding his first plan at the job and walking towards Director Xie's office of the Investment Promotion Office. Gu Qiu thought to himself that this plan should be perfect. If it could be approved, he would naturally be honored.
As a newcomer in the officialdom, Gu Qiu naturally also has this kind of desire to be appreciated by the leaders, and then give full play to his own strengths and rise to a higher position.
When he arrived on the fourth floor and approached Director Xie's office, he was just about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from inside. "No, Director Xie, no. Don't do this, okay? I beg you!"
It's Chen Yan! Gu Qiu's scalp went numb. The hand that was just raised froze there, and he was at a loss for a moment.
How could this be?
Another drunk-sounding voice rang out. "Chen Yan, today you have to obey me whether you like it or not. You are the office director, and I am the head of the Investment Promotion Office. Men and women loving each other is a natural thing. As long as you are willing and I am willing, isn't it fine?"
Chen Yan pleaded, "No, Director Xie. You are drunk. Don't do this, okay? Someone might see us."
Director Xie said, "At this time, there is no one left in the office. What are you afraid of? Besides, no one dares to barge in here."
Chen Yan still refused and desperately pushed away Director Xie's mouth that reeked of alcohol. Director Xie suddenly became wild with animalistic urges, hugged Chen Yan's waist tightly, and pushed her down on the desk. His ghostly hands were about to press down....
Gu Qiu was stunned. It seemed that he came at the wrong time and spoiled someone's good deed.
While hesitating whether to go in or not, Chen Yan's scream came from inside. "Ah -! No -"
Gu Qiu suddenly remembered Chen Yan's earlier instruction. "Remember, you must send the planning proposal over in ten minutes."
It seemed that Chen Yan had anticipated that Director Xie had bad intentions, which was why she deliberately instructed him.
Gu Qiu gritted his teeth. Should I save her or not?
If I rush in, I will definitely anger Director Xie.
If I retreat, watch Chen Yan being humiliated with my own eyes? If Chen Yan is willing, then forget it. I will definitely not interfere in this matter. But Chen Yan is clearly unwilling.
Gu Qiu finally couldn't hold back and raised his hand to knock.
