A person has a face, and a tree has a bark. This is a saying left by the old people.

I have to admit that this sentence is very reasonable. The essence of most people's various struggles from birth is to save face. There are very few people who can truly live a lifetime of ignoring other people's gaze.

Is there anything more embarrassing than being slapped in the face in public?

Let’s talk about others first. At least in the more than 40 years of Cui Jianyong’s cautious life, this was the most embarrassing time for him. If he had just left society and his edges had not been smoothed out, maybe 5% of his soldiers would have returned bravely. but now?

The only thing Cui Jianyong can do is to explain and apologize as much as possible, even though he has much more seniority than Li Qichang and is two digits older than him.

The fundamental reason for all this is the huge status difference between the two!

After all, Li Qichang is Boss Su’s secretary! And Cui Jianyong is just a transparent figure in the prefect's Yamen. It can be said that if there were not so many trivial matters in the Secretariat that required a scapegoat to do it all, he would have been kicked out of this powerful department with considerable power!

"what's going on? Secretary Li, please don’t be angry first....."

Cui Jianyong's face turned red with shame. He stupidly stood up and immediately bowed to appease Li Qichang's anger. It has been half an hour since Boss Su’s summary meeting ended, 19 and Cui Jianyong, who works in the Prefect’s Yamen Secretariat, has not received any news!

This shows how poor his connections are!

"you do not know? Let me tell you."

Li Qichang is actually one of the small number of people in the entire prefectural government who respect Cui Jianyong very much, but today's incident left him almost without a burial place. At this time, he can't pity and be like the seemingly humble little man opposite him.

Holding Cui Jianyong's collar, Li Qichang leaned into the other party's ear and said in a cold tone,"The meeting minutes you gave me this morning were missing the most important topic, which made Boss Su extremely angry. Don't let your negligence fool you into this whole matter." Me, you are derelict in your duty, and the consequence is that you will be fired!"

You will be expelled." These five words were like a bolt from the blue, completely defeating Cui Jianyong's fragile psychological defense. He almost staggered and collapsed on the ground, his face pale.

Li Qichang was also a little surprised by Cui Jianyong's weakness. From the slap in the face to the current threat, he actually has only one purpose: to force this guy to tell who is behind the scenes, and then follow the clues to investigate from this gap.

I will kill whoever wants me to die!

This is Li Qichang's counterattack, Su Zhonghe's counterattack. In fact, Li Qichang knew very well from the beginning what kind of character Cui Jianyong was. Would such a person be so bold as to modify the meeting minutes?

Not to mention him, no one in the entire prefecture would believe it.

But the struggle experience is not rich enough. Li Qichang obviously had a high opinion of Cui Jianyong's bloody nature. In his initial judgment, he thought that under such high pressure, most people would bite out who was responsible for self-protection, but Cui Jianyong's reaction was just to stay in place stupidly, and then Ichiban was so frightened that he fainted.

The restaurant was quiet.

No one of the waiters who had already been stunned dared to step forward to dissuade him, and other colleagues who were eating were even more silent. No one dared to wade into this muddy water.

"Send him to the hospital.

Li Qichang tried hard to restrain his inner depression,"Let him come to see me when he wakes up and tell him that this matter will never be over until the truth comes to light!""

When Cui Jianyong woke up again and opened his eyes, he saw the snow-white eyes in the ward and his wife's haggard, old and worried face.

"Lao Cui, you scared me to death."

The wife's tone was full of anxiety,"Now our company is almost unable to pay wages. If something happens to you, what will happen to our family and what will happen to our son?..."

Cui Jianyong's blank eyes took a long time to focus. He first looked around and observed that there was no one around, and then immediately described his fear and everything that happened today to his wife in a panic tone.

"Then you should explain it clearly, just tell the truth. How about we buy some cigarettes and wine and go see Secretary Li? Maybe a lot of adults on the other side will forgive you...."

After listening to the description, the wife's anxiety immediately shifted from her husband to her worries about the matter itself.

Now her work unit has begun to lay off people, and she has not been affected entirely because she has a husband who works in the prefect's Yamen Secretariat. Once her husband is fired, the whole sky will fall.

The collapse of the sky is not just a small problem of Cui Jianyong losing his salary, but the impact of losing this identity on his future life.

Perhaps Cui Jianyong was at the bottom of the prefect's Yamen and was the most inconspicuous existence. But outsiders don’t dare to think so. There are still three thousand nails in the rotten ship, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Who knows if Cui Jianyong knows anyone in a place like this or has any hidden connections.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

In other words, the little guy Cui Jianyong is the out-and-out pillar of the family. Once this identity is lost, all the conveniences in the past will disappear. This is a blow that the Cui family simply cannot bear!

"That document was not actually filed, and I tried to check with the recorder at the time."

Cui Jianyong kept mumbling to himself like Mrs. Xianglin,"But Boss Wang Liqiang and Wang's secretary Xiao Ma had something to do with the recordkeeper at that time, Boss Su was in a hurry, and Boss Zhang from the secretariat disliked me for doing things. Sui has no ability...."

Cui Jianyong said the same thing four or five times. With a sad look on his face, he vividly reflected the helplessness of the little person.

"Then you should explain this situation clearly to Secretary Li."

The wife put forward an opinion

"no..."

Cui Jianyong's face became increasingly pale, and he suddenly sat up from the hospital bed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on."If I tell the truth, I will offend Boss Wang Liqiang and Boss Zhang."..."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Absolutely not, I still won't be able to stay. And I have no evidence to prove it's not my fault, and they won't let me go...."

In this way, Cui Jianyong struggled for two days. During these two days, Cui Jianyong, who was extremely painful and regretful, fantasized countless times about how great it would be if he had been lazy and not gone to work early to clean the office that day.

In this way, he would not be in the current dilemma.

His wife went to work, and no colleagues or friends came to visit him while he was in the hospital. The only people who came to see him were two employees of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Obviously Li Qichang 037 does not intend to stop pursuing this matter because of his cowardice.

Cui Jianyong, who did not dare to offend anyone, left a letter to his wife late at night two days later and once again walked into the office where he had stayed for more than ten or almost twenty years.

Here is his youth, his glory, and everything he is proud of. As long as he stays in this place for a day, the relatives at home will always look up at him, and his wife will never lose her financial income after being laid off....

"If this continues, I will definitely be fired for dereliction of duty. What should I do? What to do with the children? What should my wife do? What about parents. But what if I say so? I have offended so many big shots, and without evidence, how much better could my fate be than Shen Xin's?"

The man with a pale complexion and sunken eyes muttered as he carefully cleaned the huge office once again. After that, he lay weakly on the sofa where the guests were sitting, feeling that his heart was aching as if something was beating fast. came out the same.

Then he...Just die like that

"Study hard and don't cause trouble. You must be patient when things happen. We are ordinary people, so we must not conflict with others. Eat what you can, take care of yourself and your mother."

This is Cui Jianyong's last words to his son Cui Cunhou.

When a little person loses any blood, he is just a sheep. The sad thing is that this sheep does not think he has done anything wrong, and tries to let his children and grandchildren Continue to be an obedient sheep.

It is a pity that the jungle of the world will not change because of anyone's weakness and kindness.
