C187 The Great Test

"Sis, I'm very busy at the end of the year. I've been working since today. I'm here to report to the Leader!" Gu Yuwei said.

"Hehe, alright. Prepare for the next two days. We will gather everyone and all the old comrades from the CPPCC will have a New Year's tea party together. You must pay attention to all of those retired cadres. If there are those who are unwell and hospitalized, we will go to the hospital to express our condolences! "Next, you should pay a visit to poor families, nursing homes, and welfare homes. You should prepare all of these!" Gu Liqing said.

"Alright!" Gu Yuwei said straightforwardly.

Every year at the new year, you have to do a good job on these family affairs.

He couldn't afford to lose a single comrade, nor could he afford to miss a single one of them. If he was careless for even a second, he would bring trouble upon himself!

Especially to old comrades' condolences and comfort, this is the hardest thing to do.

Gu Yuwei was Gu Liqing's secretary in the past, so she could do whatever she wanted. But now that Gu Liqing had handed over the job to her, it was a huge test for her.

Returning to the office, Gu Yuwei realized that her office had long ago been swept cleanly!

Seeing her coming over, Chief of Staff Ding Yuansheng smiled and walked over to her. He looked at her and said respectfully: "Secretary Gu, I heard that you are coming back today, so I ordered some people to clean up your office in advance. In order to increase the festive atmosphere, I bought some festive flowers for the office this year and put some pots for the office of the leader.

Only then did Gu Yuwei realize that there were two flower racks next to the window. There was a pot of red flowers that she did not recognize, and a pot that seemed to be an orchid or something, purple red, like a butterfly, could this be the Butterfly Flower? The flower pot was very beautiful. She really liked it!

"Not bad, it's very beautiful, this arrangement really feels different," Gu Yuwei said with a smile.

"It's good that you like Secretary Gu," Ding Yuansheng laughed and said, "Look at what's lacking, tell me and I'll send it over to you right away!"

When Ding Yuansheng said "you", he felt a little weird.

This Ding Yuansheng wasn't so courteous to her in the beginning! Furthermore, they were at the same level back then, so Ding Yuansheng was more or less unhappy about Gu Yuwei's sudden rise! When Gu Yuwei had just risen to the top, she could feel the awkwardness when facing her!

The most unacceptable thing for a group of men was that their peers, or even subordinates, would suddenly appear above him and become his superior. That was a rather depressing feeling!

But, why did this Ding Yuansheng suddenly become so courteous to her?

"Alright, Dean Ding, go back to your work. I don't think I lack anything here! "You are well-prepared!" Gu Yuwei laughed and said, "Thank you, Dean Ding!"

"Hey, Secretary Gu saying this can kill me, Little Ding. Doing this is part of my responsibility, to do this to serve the Leaders well, it is my honor to do this in the first place! How can you say the word "thank you"! " Ding Yuansheng hurriedly said, "Then you can stay busy. I'll go over first, if there's anything you need, just call me!"

Ding Yuansheng said as he backed out.

Gu Yuwei looked at his back, why did it feel like his words were suddenly so polite, so awkward? Calling herself Little Ding in front of her? Aren't you being too modest! Ding Yuansheng was so much older than her!

She smiled and shook her head. This person was really hard to figure out sometimes! Could it be that everyone felt that she was even more different after she returned from her classes? Sigh, he was too lazy to think about this question!

She sat down and began to leaf through some of the documents and letters she had received during this time.

When she finished reading, she started to prepare the mission that Gu Liqing had given her.

Arrange tea parties for senior cadres and the condolences of poor families.

The day was about to pass unknowingly.

Gu Yuwei got up and sat on the sofa to rest. After drinking a mouthful of tea, she casually flipped through the Chunjiang's report.

This tabloid had really done a good job of reporting on the activities of the leaders in a comprehensive manner. It had even added on some of the popular life stories and popular life stories. It was becoming more and more of a big newspaper!

Just as Gu Yuwei was drinking her tea and flipping through the newspapers, a tall figure walked into her office.

Someone said: "Secretary Gu, I heard that you have successfully learned and returned. I am here to report to Secretary Gu about my work — —"

Gu Yuwei raised her head and saw that the person who had arrived was the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wang Haitao.

Perfect! He was going to discuss this matter of arranging condolences with Director Wang!

"Hur hur, nice to meet you, Director Wang. I have something to talk to you about!" Gu Yuwei stood up politely and shook hands with Wang Haitao.

Hearing that the Secretary Gu was looking for him, Wang Haitao said happily, "Looks like my sixth sense is quite accurate, I came at the right time!"

"Director Wang, please have some tea first!" Gu Yuwei said politely as she brewed a cup of tea for Wang Haitao.

Wang Haitao was also a highly qualified administrative officer, he had worked in local movies, and was also a vice minister for a period of time at the Publicity Board. Only after the incident with the former head of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liang Ri, did Wang Haitao reach his current position. He could be considered a daughter-in-law! He finally got himself a position of first in command!

Although the head of the department was a senior executive, his position was different, but his benefits and authority were vastly different!

After all, in front of them, she was a junior who had just grown up. Although she was in the leading position, in terms of working experience, she still had to learn from these senior officials, and most of the time, her work was supported by these senior leaders.

King Zhao had told her before that she must be modest and cautious in the group, especially when she was a young official that had just become a official. She could be proud easily, could be arrogant easily, and could be easily offended.

"Thank you, Secretary Gu!" Wang Haitao said politely, and then looked towards Gu Yuwei, waiting for her instructions.

"Director Wang, it's going to be Lunar New Year soon. According to the usual practice, we have to visit poor families and offer our condolences to them. How are your preparations?" Gu Yuwei went straight to the point.

Wang Haitao looked at Gu Yuwei, and knew that the Ancient Secretary had assigned this task to her. In the past, Gu Liqing had personally come to capture her, and it seems that this year, the Secretary Gu was here, and Gu Liqing wanted to give her more opportunities.

"Reporting to the Secretary Gu, according to the customs of the past years, all the necessary preparations have been made ahead of time. Material and consoling payments have been made, and these preparations are all ready. We wait for the Leader to spend the money and then we'll arrange everything!" Wang Haitao said, "I was coming over today, I wanted to report this matter to Secretary Gu as well."

"Hehe, looks like we're thinking of the same thing!" Gu Yuwei laughed and said, "Have there been any slight increases in the amount of materials and comfort payments from last year?" Gu Yuwei asked.

"This —" Wang Tan Lang looked at Gu Yuwei with a bit of awkwardness. Funds were already tight, and the poor did not decrease, but only increased.

"It's still the same standard as last year — —" Wang Haitao said with a little difficulty. "Its financial resources are limited — —"

Gu Yuwei smiled and nodded, and said: "I know this is the case, but, the price is rising, if there is an appropriate increase, it would naturally reflect the concern our group has for the poor! "Well, if you're ready, you can stop adjusting. I'll think of other ways. I'll try to add a little more from other sources so that the poor families can have a sumptuous Spring Festival!"

Oh, that's good, that's good, the Secretary Gu is really thinking of them, "Wang Haitao said," Look how I can help you, I'll definitely be here anytime!

"Hehe, give me a list of the poor families that need your condolences. If possible, give me tomorrow!" Gu Yuwei said.

"Alright, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow morning!" Wang Haitao took a sip of his tea and said, "Secretary Gu, it's almost New Year, and I am representing our civil affairs to wish Secretary Gu a happy new year and to wish you all the best!"

After Wang Haitao finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his bag and placed it on the tea table. Then, he stood up and was about to leave!

"This — Secretary Gu, you can take it back," Gu Yuwei said.

"Secretary Gu, you know that this is a convention. If you do not accept it, I really do not know what to do —" Wang Haitao said as he looked at Gu Yuwei.

had long known about this, but today was the first time she had received such an envelope. Furthermore, it was from the civil affairs department!

Wang Haitao had just kept saying that the amount of money needed to comfort the poor was limited, but the amount of money he needed to comfort the Leader was not the least bit less!

This was the unspoken rule of the guild that had been in fashion ever since!

After Wang Haitao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Gu Yuwei looked at the envelope in a daze.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she studied in class and did not work in the group's Chunjiang. There were a few department heads and some local film leaders who called her, saying that they wanted to go to her house to drink tea, but she rejected them all.

But now, as soon as she returned, she received such an envelope.

Gu Yuwei hesitated for a while, but still took the envelope and looked at it. It was not thick, but there were a lot of it.

She sat down at her desk and couldn't help but take a look at it. Then, she started counting. A total of eight thousand!

One eight thousand yuan was not a lot for the civil affairs department, but there were seven main leaders in the group. She was the one in charge of the group, so it was eight thousand yuan, then there would definitely be more for the first and second in command, at least over ten thousand yuan. With that said, the main leaders in charge of the group would only have a few tens of thousands yuan for the Spring Festival.

The number of sympathies for the poor could not increase, but the number of condolences for the leaders could not be lacking?

What about the money? Accept it or not? Should he return it or not?

Gu Yuwei weighed the pros and cons in her heart.
