An ironic novel about officialdom: learning from the experience

Editor’s note: Promotion is originally a fair and just thing, but real life is not that simple. Let’s take a look at an ironic story!

Lao Kan this time He was cruel and booked a banquet at the most luxurious hotel in the city. He wanted to entertain a few classmates and let them pass on the scriptures and give them treasures. I have been in the city for ten years. I have been rated as advanced every year and received certificates of merit every year. However, I cannot move up the ranks and am still a clerk. Some of the classmates who went to the city with him became bureau chiefs, some became directors, and the worst was a section chief.

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Kan was embarrassed to speak: "The purpose of inviting students to gather together today is two-fold. The main purpose is to congratulate you on your promotion." Secondly, I also want to ask all my old classmates to give me some advice. I also want to make progress and don’t want to be a clerk all the time. ?

He first walked up to the section chief with a wine glass in his hand: "Old classmate, would you like to give Brother Yu some advice?" The section chief said: "I can't talk about it. The key is that the section chief turned his attention to the table." Lao Kan seemed to have some realization as he put the wine bottle on the table: "Do you often drink and dine with your boss?" The section chief said: "That's a must. The most important thing is that it's as good as its brand." At present, just performing well and working actively will not work. I can get promoted this time, and to be honest, it took a lot of money. He put the five fingers of his right hand together, straight up, and raised them to the height of his forehead. Lao Kan looked at it carefully: "Five hundred dollars!" A sound came out of the section chief's mouth, and the paper on the table flew away. His eyes narrowed into a line, and his neck and face turned to the side. Lao Kan quickly corrected himself to: "Five Thousand". The section chief gave up again, then turned around and moved the five straight fingers in front of Lao Kan's face: "Fifang! Do you understand? Director" , the director said in unison: "Fifty thousand." ?Oh! Oh!? Laokan woke up from his dream, with an embarrassed look on his face and some cold sweat on his forehead.

"You are nothing but a camel's hair, and I have worked hard for ten years to get nothing!" The director sitting opposite said harshly, causing several students at the table to turn their attention to him. Lao Kan came to the director with a wine glass and said very respectfully: "Old classmate, how do you understand?" The director said: "The current market situation is nothing but salt." No way. In order to go up this time, I spent all my ten years of savings on it. Lao Kan further asked: "How much did it cost?" The director paused for a moment, and saw his outstretched hands gradually clenched into fists, and then he hit the table hard, causing the cups and plates to jingle, and the wine glass to Lao Gao's wine splashed. ?One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand!? Lao Kan trembled in shock, and the wine in his cup overflowed a lot. The section chief's body trembled visibly, his eyes rolled, and then he turned his gaze to the director. The director was very calm and showed no expression at all. He was still tasting his wine. Lao Kan felt a numbness on his back, as if there were needles pricking him. He didn't know how to respond to the director, so he stood there for a while and walked away angrily.

When he came to the classmate of the director, the director spoke first before he could speak: Lao Kan, I don’t have much experience here. Sit down and drink. ?With the section chief and director's lesson, Lao Kan actually didn't want to ask anymore. He complied with the director's wishes and quickly sat down to drink. The two of them drank from "Erhongxi" (two cups) to "Four Seasons Prosperity" (four cups), and when they drank from "Liuliu Shun" (six cups) to "Bafanglaicai" (eight cups), they saw the director He slammed the wine glass and started crying.

? Lao Kan! I accompanied my wife and got some money! Lao Kan panicked when he saw this, but he didn’t know how to persuade him. He looked at the section chief and director for help. The section chief and director immediately gathered around and asked eagerly: "What's going on with the million-dollar heirloom given to Guanyin? It's gone. Your sister-in-law didn't come back that night when she gave the gift, and she lost contact all night." ?Lao Kan, the section chief, and the director said at the same time: ?Really? His eyes were as wide as ping pong balls. ?I said I was going to report them, but your sister-in-law refused. She said that the current situation is no longer surprising. I promised them not just for our family. If that were the case, everything would be ruined. ?Yes, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood. If the cow is missing, go look for it in the cow pen.

?The director seemed to be persuading the director, but also seemed to say that he was interjecting this sentence. ?I thought about it, she had no choice but to endure it. Do you think I, the director, should be considered a coward? Lao Kan echoed: "A coward, a coward." The section chief and director glanced at Lao Kan. Lao Kan immediately realized that his answer was inappropriate and immediately changed his words: "Normal, normal." ?He still felt it was inappropriate, but he couldn't find the right words for the moment, so he had to hum and hum.

Just as Lao Kan was looking for the right words, the director's body slowly moved under the table, and snoring followed. Upon seeing this, Lao Kan, together with the section chief and director, pulled the director out from under the table, helped him to the sofa on the side, and then sat down on the chair, all the strength in his body was gone.

After a long while, Lao Kan regained consciousness, as if to himself and to his classmates, he murmured: "I will not take this sutra; this is I won’t be promoted even though I’m still employed, so I’ll just go back and be my clerk. When the section chief and director saw this, they also said: "Okay, okay." No more talk, no more talk; we drink, drink. ?That night, all of them were extremely drunk.
