Chapter 3 Pension Affairs Office

  This exam was jointly initiated by the Municipal Organization Department and the Personnel Office, with a strong implication of internal appointment. The first-place winner, Jiang Tao, is very likely to be the internally appointed candidate.

  Xuan Taoming was very unconvinced at first, but after the interview, he was thoroughly convinced.

  Considering Xuan Taoming's exceptionally profound knowledge foundation, the interview panel came up with a question of extremely high IQ level.

  "Do you believe this world has science fiction?"

  Xuan Taoming was struck by a divine lightning, and just last month, you would have shaken your head and joked, what science fiction? Do I look like a science fiction brain-dead fan? But now there's actually a science fiction in his mind.

  Astonished, Zhang opened his mouth and Xuan Taoming felt that he had to deceive himself by saying that there was no science fiction in the world. What a ridiculous thing to say? He was able to stand here completely because of science fiction.

  "My god! They say it's science fiction, science fiction, but it's actually the fantasy of scientists and engineers, and they're asking if you believe it or not!"

  Xuan Tai Ming cannot be trusted anymore, if he is trusted then it's all over, might as well wait another year to take the civil service exam.

  Xiao Yi organized a draft of three or four thousand words and Shuotai Ming read it out in a calm, steady tone.

  The three interviewers were wide-eyed and small-eyed, and the student's knowledge base was quite strong! The language organization ability is also very strong!

  However strong it may be, in front of fate, it is still a paper tiger.

  "One of the interviewers spoke up: 'Please give a few examples of things in the world that are not science fiction.'"

  Xuan Taoming really wanted to slap himself to death, it's so hard to say insincere words! You want me to come up with a science fiction example, there are plenty of ready-made ones.

  Fortunately, there is Xiao Yi, who leads the way with classical references and has a broad knowledge of ancient and modern times... Ah, going back to the 1980s, and even earlier, there was Mao's science fiction.

  Xuan Taoming unscrupulously brought up a dozen or so examples, such as the Giant Island, Wheat Field Circle and so on, among which there were some obscure ones, which shocked the eyeballs of three interviewers.

  "This student... has a very solid foundation of knowledge, with a high level of theoretical understanding. Our team needs young people like this who have depth. I think the few select students sent down from the province aren't necessarily better than this student." One interviewer spoke up, not all interviewers had been bribed, after all our organization is still pure.

  The interviewer who was secretly set on you is gone, you're promoted, and Jiang Tao is demoted. Can't we just say two different things in the same way?

  "I disagree, why does this kid know so much about science fiction? It's because he himself believes in it. The party and organization need pure comrades, not impure ones like him who can't just join our ranks casually. We are chosen by the party and organization, we must be strict with ourselves." This interviewer wasn't afraid of others hearing, speaking nonsense with a red face and white teeth.

  The third interviewer spoke up and nodded his chin: "Aren't there a few more? Let's discuss this one later."

  Let's put it off for now and see how others are doing.

  Others are fine, but Jiang Tao doesn't know whether he's confident or thinks he's a shoo-in and isn't afraid of anything, his interview was so bad that the interviewer's head hurts nonstop.

  The interviewer who had been determined asked a simple question "often walking by the river, how can you avoid getting your shoes wet". What do you think of this sentence?

  Jiang Tao Jiang Gongzi waved his hand and said, "This tells us that when we are in a team organization, it's best to take off our shoes before walking along the riverbank."

  This is good, the interviewer who was about to say something clever was shut down by this sentence and stared at the mineral water on the table for five minutes without saying a word. Clearly it's a materialistic dialectical topic, but you've made it sound so miserable.

  So, Xuan Taoming should be the first to be interviewed without any doubt. Based on the comprehensive written test scores, those who are qualified should be Xuan Taoming.

  The leaders of Butou Mountain County Investment Promotion Bureau were dissatisfied and said that it was not that there were no people in the bureau, just because it was Jiang Tao's bureau.

  The interview panel was both angry and annoyed. Who could they blame? Wasn't it Jiang Tao's fault for not being competitive enough? But since the other party didn't accept him, they had no choice but to reluctantly announce Xuan Tai Ming instead.

  "Xuan Taoming, your level is appreciated by our examination team, but this position is a bit high for you."

  Xuan Tai's face turned bitter, but in the end, computers couldn't beat human relationships.

  "But there is a similar position, I don't know if you are willing to try it."

  Xuan Taoming is definitely willing, as long as he can enter the official circle, everything is easy to say, if not, just wait another year.

  Xuan Tai Ming is so impressive, and the interviewer is also very pleased.

  "Dongshan City Hongwu District Yong'an Township Street Office has a business office that is currently recruiting, the organization thinks you are more suitable for their requirements, and decided to recommend you to go there. Young people should exercise at the grassroots level, maybe it won't take long to return to the bureau."

  Of course, there is another sentence that he didn't say, and it may stay there forever. The investment promotion office of the Hongwu District Street Office is a nursing home office, easy to enter but hard to leave. That's the notorious "living dead pit" in Dongshan, not much different from the Party Committee's Party History Office.

  Xuan Taoming was overjoyed, as mentioned earlier, Xuan Taoming is a person who is easily satisfied.

  A summary of human pessimistic history concludes a conclusion about human nature: humans who are easily satisfied are always the pitiful wretches of tragedy.

  Xuan Taoming felt he had been deceived and his life was no longer bright from then on.

  Dongshan City has 3 districts, 58 street offices. The worst one is Yong'an Xiang Street Office, which belongs to the suburbs of the suburbs and can barely be counted as a municipal district, just skimming the edge, similar to a rural town.

  Alright, I'm here to temper myself in office, not to enjoy it.

  But after working for two days, Xuan Taoming quit. Sweeping the floor and wiping the table for two days, drinking tea when there's nothing to do, it's not bad for retirement, but how can I retire in peace when my life is slipping away day by day?

  "Xiao Yi, do you think this official path has any prospects? Can it knock down Fang Weixue, the deputy governor, that big white radish?" Xuan Taoming said with a bitter face.

  "Master, the route is affected and does not match the plan, it needs to be readjusted." said Xiao Yi. According to Xiao Yi's original route, Xuan Taoming was supposed to go to the Brows Mountain County Business Bureau, but now he has become a member of the Pension Department, and the route has already deviated.

  "What should we do then? I'm counting on you now." Xuan Taoming said anxiously.

  Rather than waiting for death, it's better to go out and take a risk, attract business and investment, and crawl out from the pension department. Xiao Yi adjusted her route.

  "It's all talk, I also want to go out and attract investment, but where can I find it? Besides, is the director here easy to talk to?" Xuan Taoming worried.

  "Don't worry, master. According to my analysis of the data, Director Chen is not ambitious, but he's not narrow-minded either. If you talk to him, it will be useful. I'll also help with collecting and analyzing materials for attracting investment." said Xiao Yi.

  "Well, I'll give it a try!" Xuan Taoming said hesitantly.

  So, Xuan Taoming found the director of the investment promotion office, a middle-aged man in his 40s who was dull and lifeless all day long. Although he was the director of an office under the street administration, he was actually a high-ranking official with a strong background, a deputy department head who was serious and proper. Unfortunately, he had joined the wrong team and was relegated to a remote area, serving as the director of an office at the level of a section chief.

  "Director Chen, I want to make an ideological report." Xuan Taoming took a deep breath and knocked on the door before entering.

  Chen Chaonian puffed on his cigarette, peering through thick glasses to scrutinize Xuan Taoming for a moment. This new comrade had plenty of enthusiasm, able to sweep the floor ten times in one day without getting tired. But that's how newcomers always were - after a few days, they'd be worn out too.

  "Speak clearly, what's going on?" Chen Chaonian's body showed no vitality, and his words were also listless.

  "Director Chen, after several days of mental struggle, I think going out to pull factories and find enterprises is more suitable for me."

  Chen Chaonian tapped his cigarette ash and said weakly: "Not bad, you have ideological awareness."

  "Director, I'll change my work nature and go out tomorrow?" Xuan Taoming didn't expect him to be so easy-going, just like Xiao Yi said, this person wasn't a stubborn person, allowing his subordinates to find business instead of just demanding them to stay in the office doing back-end work.

  Chen nodded indifferently: "Mm, go ahead, just sweep the office every day and that's it. There are only three of us in the investment promotion office, me, the deputy director, and you. If anyone is missing, it won't work." Before Xuan Taoming arrived a week ago, the only business staff member directly threw down his job and quit. This civil servant had no future. So, the entire Yong'an Township Investment Promotion Office was just three people, two officials and one soldier.

  Xuan Taoming nodded hastily.

  "Young people, is it better to be proud and arrogant or ignorant of the world? Chen Chaonian sighed. "If I could pull strings to find a job in a factory, would I still be sitting here? Yong'an Township is too remote, even factories don't want to come."

  Xuan Taoming fiddled with the documents for a while, understanding the policies and reward explanations about attracting investment, and left with full confidence the next day.

  But where can we find enterprises and factories?

  Xiao Yi's navigation instrument was a great help to Xuan Tai Ming in solving the first step. She can connect to local networks, filter information, and a large number of investment promotion information appeared.

  There are three investment promotion messages that caught Xuan Taoming's attention. One is that Feiyang Paper Mill intends to invest and has released a statement of intent on the investment website, but no one has responded. Jokingly, who would approve a paper mill? Aren't the environmental pollution concerns heavy enough?

  The second is a large project, planning to invest 10 billion yuan to build a OEM factory for Taymin, which is very famous nationwide and well-known for its OEM business, providing OEM services for a series of electronic products including Dell, Huawei, Nokia, etc. This time they came to Dongshan City just for investigation.

  However, too many people are staring at this project. Not to mention others, the municipal investment promotion bureau is staring at it tightly and will not let the lower-level investment promotion office snatch it away. Although the municipal investment promotion bureau is their administrative superior, they are still competing with each other in terms of business. But those people have a high vision, and small projects worth tens of millions to hundreds of millions can be directly handed over to the lower-level investment promotion office, and they may even cooperate with you occasionally when they are in a good mood.

  Xuan Tai Ming shook his head slightly at the first two, but his eyes lit up slightly at the third one.

  This is a factory that manufactures electronic instruments, mainly producing mice and keyboards. It's said to be electronics, but it's actually just half-baked. The circuit boards for the mouse and keyboard have been around for decades, and even shanzhai companies can develop their own circuit boards. Benma Instrument Company plans to invest 15 million yuan to build a factory.

  "It's really a project the size of an ant's leg." Xuan Taoming said with a hum, what can 1.5 million do? It's just enough to cover a small workshop, and if you buy land specifically, you can allocate tens of millions of dollars. The land in Yong'an Township is priced at 5,000 yuan per mu per year, and the price goes up depending on the location. A 30-year contract would cost 150,000 yuan, and if the location is slightly better, it would be even higher, and cutting off 300,000 yuan wouldn't be a problem.

  "Whatever, let's just go with this." Xuan Taoming helplessly waved his hand and drove to the location of the person in charge of Ben Ma Company. They had rented a private house by themselves and were waiting for potential clients to find them.

  To be honest, there are usually two types of people who need to wait for recruitment.
