Fengming from Phoenix City: Happy and Relaxed Life as a Civil Servant (Continued from 1) As a young man who had just graduated from school and started working in a government agency, he quickly became the center of news. He was especially full of curiosity and concern about my family, education, personal relationships, etc. Whenever I chat, many people ask me: Do you have any friends? When I tell the truth: I just got married! At this time, he (she) would look at me with surprise and suspicion and say: Why so early? I joked to them (her): My parents arranged it! My reply surprised him and them. I was very proud and secretly happy, teasing him and them. Most of my work is limited to the office, and I envy other colleagues in the department who can often go on business trips to provide guidance at the grassroots level. I fantasize about when I can go to the grassroots level and travel to other places and cities. This is not to guide work. When I was young, I wanted to go out and have the opportunity to travel around and temporarily escape from the lifeless agency life. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came, and I actually had the opportunity to get several tolerances that I remember vividly and countless times. I remember that the first time I went on a business trip was to the Laiyang County Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory. It was Director Liu who gave me this opportunity. At that time, my husband's army was stationed in Laiyang County and sent me to Laiyang on a business trip. On the one hand, I was in charge of the Laiyang Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory, so I should solve any problems. On the other hand, he also took care of me and visited my husband. The director gave me an opportunity for both public and private purposes. It was the first time I went on a business trip alone, and I was inevitably a little uneasy. I didn't expect that the factory leaders personally received me and didn't treat me as a newly graduated student lightly. When I was received by Rong Zhong, I felt a little panicked. At the reception meeting, I conveyed the instructions of the department leaders. After the meeting, they led me to visit various processing workshops, solved both big and small problems, and learned a lot of knowledge, which added a sense of intimacy to the company. After coming back, he reported his work in front of the director, and also spoke well of the factory leaders and affirmed the work in the factory. The appearance of the factory also looked prosperous. The second business trip was to the Yantai Machinery Industry Bureau with our eldest sister, Secretary Fan. I went on a business trip with Secretary Fan, and I was my little follower. She took care of everything. She was familiar with the place, the roads, and had acquaintances so it was easier to handle things. The business trip was completed smoothly. I asked her to take me to the beach to see and play. After I repeatedly begged, they actually took me to the beach. When I arrived, I couldn't help but be disappointed. There was no beautiful beach scene or charming waves that I longed for, but a corrupt and chaotic industrial seaport. My first intimate contact with the sea, I just sank into the sea. The third time I went on a business trip, I was fortunate enough to work as a follower to the director of the department, to the Jining Machinery Industry Bureau and the Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory. Being a follower to the director, the treatment is different. First, a prominent local leader picked him up at the train station. He got on a tricycle with the guests in front and the driver behind. He stayed in a high-end prefectural committee guest house. When he walked there, he was greeted by a large number of people. There were receptions and banquets one after another. In three days, he didn’t know how many problems could be solved. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as mobilizing people and wasting money. I no longer had the inclination to travel, and the excessive extravagance and waste left a shadow in my heart. From then on, I became disgusted and disgusted with traveling on business trips, and lost the original interest in traveling on business trips. Later, after deep thinking, I decided that after completing my job, I would use all available time to strengthen my professional business learning, and always be prepared to create opportunities to go to the factory to work as a mechanical manufacturing designer. That is the job I pursue and love.
