1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 383 There are only so many shaded areas. Bring your own stool and sit over here.
Since it was a large-scale social gathering jointly organized, the men and women who attended naturally came from different units;

In fact, as the importance of central-local cooperation and integration has become increasingly prominent in recent years, units like drilling companies that are in urgent need of strengthening the construction of local worker-peasant relations often invite members of the local administrative system to participate in annual meetings, National Day parties, New Year's Day parties and other activities;

Of course, in addition to these more important or events, invitations are often sent out when higher-level social gatherings are held.

Generally speaking, members of the local administrative system may attend various parties when invited, but for activities related to personal marriage, such as social gatherings, the children of the administrative system rarely participate... The reason for this should not be difficult to understand.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Chen Lan. A new employee in the Drilling Company's dispatch room. Graduated from Diannan University, from Mianyang."

"Oh, hello, Yang Laoliu, an intern in the Quality Control Department of Qingfeng Foods, a technical secondary school student, and a local."

"Huh? In that...? Sorry to bother you. Bye."

…………

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Fang. I'm from the Personnel Department of Linyi Oil Refinery. I graduated from Qilu University and I'm from Heze."

"Yang Laoliu; an intern in the quality control department of Qingfeng Foods, a technical secondary school student, and a local."

"Um... Qingfeng Food? Sorry, my friend is waiting for me. Let's talk later. Bye!"

…………

"Hello, Li Li, I'm from the general manager's office of the drilling company, graduated from Southwest Petroleum University, and from Chongqing."

"Oh, hello, Yang Laoliu; an intern in the Quality Control Department of Qingfeng Foods, a technical secondary school student, and a local."

"Eh? Are you from Qingfeng Food? Were you assigned by the company?"

"No, he's a new employee recruited by Qingfeng Food Company."

"Oh, I see... By the way, what do you like to do in your daily life? Do you like listening to pop music?"

"Popular music? Hmm... does Qilu Bangzi count?"

"Um... Bangzi? That's opera, not inferior to pop music. The pop music I'm talking about is... Never mind, then do you like movies... Oh, have you seen The Elephant Man? Or Rain Man?"

"What what person? ... I haven't seen it. My favorite is "Tunnel Warfare", "The Battle of South and North", "Heroic Sons and Daughters", "Soul of the Sea", "Greetings on the Mountain", biubiubiu, so exciting!"

"Uh... never mind. I'm glad to meet you today. See you later!"

Watching the little girl, whose looks and temperament were both over 85 points, leave with a hint of disappointment, Yang smiled, glanced at Chen Feiyu who was chatting with two girls not far away, slightly adjusted the position of the float, and then continued to lean against the tree trunk with his eyes squinted.

It is already noon, and according to the procedure, there are two hours of free time after lunch. Therefore, many young people have begun to take the initiative to contact people they like... Of course, it is unknown how many of them are really attracted to each other or are just looking for an excuse.

But what surprised him was that he thought his appearance was not outstanding among his peers at the meeting. After finishing his meal, he took his fishing rod and found a relatively remote corner and hid behind a big tree. However, several groups of girls still came over to chat with him.

Fortunately, I used a pseudonym and reported the name of Qingfeng Food, otherwise I would have been annoyed to death... Although Qingfeng Food is very famous, it is after all just a subsidiary of the drilling company. Although its status in the system cannot be said to be low, it is not enough to attract the attention of these girls with bright futures. In addition, Yang Mo reported his identity as a technical secondary school student who had just been recruited through social recruitment. The huge gap in academic qualifications and organization naturally became his best firewall.

Tsk tsk~
The girl just now was the sixth one, right?
I don't know what these girls are thinking. I'm not a handsome guy, nor have I ever flirted with anyone. I didn't even say a few words to the girls in the same group when I was paired up. Now I'm hiding in a corner. The meaning is obvious, so why are these people still hanging around here?
No vision!

Thinking of this, Yang Mo yawned, then crossed his arms across his chest to make himself more comfortable.

But he didn't know how eye-catching he was in the eyes of some girls.

Indeed, Yang Mo's looks were at the handsome level. Although he looked better than more than 90% of his peers, he was not particularly outstanding in an occasion like today where there were so many handsome guys everywhere.

However, besides appearance and figure, there is one more thing that is very important for a person, and that is... temperament.

Although Yang Mo was silent throughout the whole process, and said almost no extra words except for the most basic greetings, he looked like an extremely introverted man... As far as he knew, this type of man was almost the least popular in the blind date market.

It's just a pity that in the eyes of many girls, Yang Mo's behavior is more like carelessness than introversion... and he is nonchalant with a bit of aloofness.

It's a very wonderful feeling. Women's observation of details and sixth sense are far more sensitive than men think. It is very difficult to pretend to be calm in front of her.

For example, when Yang Mo looked at these girls, he would always just glance at them, and his gaze would never stay on them for more than 0.2 seconds;
For example, when Yang Mo talked to these girls, his tone never fluctuated dramatically, and he vaguely carried a sense of polite distance and coping as if he were just passing by.

For example, when Yang Mo was with the girls in the same group, there was always a sense of compatibility and disregard from top to bottom in the depths of his eyes;

Etc., etc……

In fact, this feeling is not unfamiliar to many girls. They used to treat their suitors who showed no interest in them in the same way. Therefore, they could tell whether Yang Mo deliberately pretended to be like this to attract their attention, or he really didn't even look at them.

But no matter what, all these details, gathered on Yang Mo's appearance, which is actually not bad looking, form an inexplicable temperament.

Although temperament sounds mysterious, it is often not difficult to understand... After all, humans are social creatures, and getting along with others is actually a subtle game interaction. When you don't care about other people, this temperament will naturally come out.

Of course, they have dealt with their suitors in this way before, but when a man treats them in the same way, it is absolutely nonsense to say that they have no thoughts in their mind.

Women are creatures whose curiosity kills the cat. No matter whether you really ignore me completely or not, since you have provoked my emotions, I will naturally come over to take a look.

To be honest, it was just that Yang Mo's "conditions" were too poor, and the Qilu dialect had a strong abstinence attribute. Otherwise, even if there were many girls who didn't actually intend to look for a partner seriously today, it was hard to say whether they would be hooked up by Yang Mo.

………………

It seemed that sending away five waves of girls in a row had a certain effect, or perhaps the place Yang Mo chose was indeed a little inconspicuous.
In short, in the following period of time, Yang Mo finally had a long period of peace and quiet, and was able to catch up on his sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I was drowsy, I suddenly smelled a faint scent of soap into my nostrils.

"Excuse me, can I borrow this for a while?"

A slightly soft voice woke Yang Mo up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a very beautiful girl standing beside him with a smile, and then pointed at the small stool that Yang Mo used to put his bag.

Ok?
Why are there still people gathering here?
Yang Mo yawned a little tiredly, then glanced at the girl. Well, she was indeed pretty, although she was still a little far from Miss Mu, but looking at the social gathering today, she should be one of the most outstanding ones.

Is this awkward?
Such a good girl should be surrounded by countless suitors, right? Why did she come to my side?
Seeing Yang Mo looking at her in confusion, the girl extended her right hand generously: "Hello, my name is Zhuo Junyue, I'm from Shaoxing, I graduated from the Journalism Department of Hangzhou University, and currently work in the General Office of the Drilling Company."

Comprehensive Office?

Yang Mo looked at her in surprise.

Zhuo Junyue saw him looking her up and down, but she was not angry. She just pointed at the small stool next to Yang Mo again and said, "Can I borrow this from you?"

As he said this, he looked back slightly and said, "There are a few shameless and annoying people over there. I'll just hide here for an hour."

Yang Mo looked sideways, and sure enough, he found a few heads in the distance looking over here from time to time... He seemed to have some impression that they were some of the people who had come here on the bus around noon.

It became clear at once. Although children of the administrative system generally would not easily leave that circle to find a partner, as Su Yu said, you also have to consider the situation.

The girl in front of me graduated from Hangzhou University. Although this university was split from Zhejiang University in the 50s and has not yet been merged back, and is not currently a national key university, as one of the few comprehensive universities of this era, the popularity of Hangzhou University graduates is no less than that of other key universities;

What's more, the girl is so beautiful, with delicate and dignified facial features that retain the spirit of the Jiangnan water town, and have a grandeur that conforms to the aesthetic taste of Chinese people... The most important thing is that she speaks Mandarin with a slight Wu accent, soft and sticky. How many of these northern men who are used to the roughage can stand it?

More importantly, this girl works in the general office of the drilling company.

The General Office is now a top-notch core department of the drilling company. Not to mention that Yang Mo came from this department, after Zhang Wenshun became the assistant to the general manager, the General Office almost took over all the work of the general manager's office. While its power increased greatly, even though the drilling company has greatly expanded its staff this year, the staff establishment of the General Office has only increased by 30%. It is conceivable how valuable it is.

Yang Mo looked away, thought for a moment, then casually picked up his bag and placed it under the tree: "Sit down."

Since he is a newcomer to the General Office, strictly speaking, he has a connection with him. Although he is not willing to take the initiative to get involved in unnecessary troubles, he will not turn a deaf ear to others when they come to him for help... Besides, the group of young people in the county suddenly joined in today, and their motives were questionable.

Zhuo Junyue took the small stool and smiled widely: "Thank you!"

Yang Mo nodded, then turned his head and looked, and found that Chen Feiyu had changed his girl. He immediately felt relieved, then closed his eyes and was about to continue his private meeting with Zhou Gong.

Zhuo Junyue looked at him curiously for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Can you help me to the end and say something to me?"

Yang Mo opened his eyes and frowned. He was woken up early in the morning by those three animals and he hadn't gotten enough sleep yet.

Seeing this, Zhuo Junyue explained, "In this kind of situation, a man and a woman get together, one sleeping and the other sitting in a daze, it's too strange...others will be suspicious."

Yang Mo naturally knew what she meant. He turned his head and took a quick look. He found that there were still a few heads looking over here from time to time. Then he sighed helplessly: "Okay, let me introduce myself. I'm Yang Laoliu..."

After reciting the information he made up like reciting a monologue, Yang Mo found that the girl was just looking at him with a smile but did not say anything. He originally wanted to remind her that it was her turn to speak.

But after thinking for a while, Yang Mo suddenly continued to ask: "Ms. Zhuo, as far as I know, the drilling company's expansion this time seems to be mainly for people from the four southwestern provinces. Departments like the General Office now only want locals from the three southwestern provinces and Qilu. Aren't you from Zhejiang? How did you get recruited?"

Although Yang Mo had never been to the General Office since he was transferred to Dahua Company due to the falling out with Zhang Wenshun, and had not taken the initiative to learn about the situation there, he had worked closely with the fat man for a long time after all, and he knew his thoughts and ideas very well. Therefore, he found it a little puzzling that there was suddenly a girl from Zhejiang in the General Office.

Zhuo Junyue smiled when she heard this: "Because I graduated from the journalism major... and I didn't come from the second company. I went through the campus recruitment process."

Ok?
Wasn’t it transferred from the second company?
Yang Mo's doubts in his heart became even more serious: "What does your major in journalism have to do with being recruited into the General Office? Besides... if you graduate from the journalism major, shouldn't you go to the company's TV station?"

Zhuo Junyue tilted her head and looked at him with a strange expression: "Don't you Qingfeng Food people care about the situation of the headquarters? The company has been preparing to expand its business scope recently. Whether it is marketing or publicity, we are in great need of people... Our school is a comprehensive university after all. I graduated from the journalism major, so I can naturally be admitted to the comprehensive office as an exception."

Journalism has long been a highly comprehensive major, with courses offered in news interviews, media, photography, written expression, macroeconomics and microeconomics, Chinese and foreign history, national culture, social public relations, international relations, etc. Any slight lag in any subject will result in failure to graduate. Therefore, graduates of this major are not only highly applicable, but also very popular in many units... In fact, after the 1990s, even before Yang Mo was reborn, many backbone figures in the political and business circles were talents in this major.

Yang Mo glanced at her lightly, but his doubts deepened.

There is a publicity department in the publicity department. Even if the company hopes to increase internal cultural construction or strengthen public opinion publicity in the future, relevant professional talents should be absorbed into the publicity department;
The General Office is now the nerve center and second external brain of the drilling company. In addition to cooperating with Momo Baitou to maintain the orderly development of the important projects that Yang Mo had decided on, it is rarely responsible for new specific business. How can you, a new graduate, be absorbed into it? The General Office today is completely different from when I was there. It has a lot of weight!
Also, do you want to expand your business scope?

Why didn’t I hear the wind?
Besides that...are we lacking talent in marketing?

This is not right. The oil system is originally focused on production and not marketing. The special properties of oil also make it almost unnecessary for it to focus on marketing.
The drilling company lacks marketing talents, and the general office lacks marketing talents... Where does this come from?
Is it because I have been away from the drilling company for too long and I am no longer aware of the changes in the company, or is this girl simply talking nonsense?
Thinking of this, Yang Mo looked at Zhuo Junyue with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Even though he had fallen out with that fat guy, Mr. Wang's overall attitude towards him was rather negative; but no matter what, Su Yu and Zhang Lin were still in the company, and He Yongyi, who was in charge of Mo Mo Bai Tou, was his man. No matter whether he was at the grassroots or at the middle or senior level, he should not be unaware of any disturbance.

If you think about it carefully, there is only one possibility... this girl is talking nonsense!
With a cold snort in his heart, Yang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to ignore this girl...

As footsteps approached, a slightly dissatisfied voice came: "Ms. Zhuo, we were having a pleasant chat just now. Why did you leave without saying goodbye when you went to the toilet? You must come back with me quickly to try the taste and see if there is anything missing. Otherwise, the roasted lamb leg will be burnt in a while... I roasted it specially for you!"

Although he was obviously restrained and his words were a bit flattering as far as the person involved was concerned, the domineering tone could not be hidden between the lines.

Ok……

This is consistent with everyone's existing impression of the second generation of people in small towns.

Through his eyes that had not yet completely closed, Yang Mo caught sight of the unnaturalness on Zhuo Junyue's face. He smiled noncommittally and was about to pretend to be a bystander.

But before he could adjust his leaning posture, as if he was a little hesitant, another figure walked up to him and handed him a cigarette: "Brother, the so-called meeting is fate. It's still early in the morning and the weather is quite pleasant. How about... smoke a cigarette to wake up and chat with us brothers?"

As he spoke, a young man who looked ordinary glanced at the fishing rod in front of Yang Mo and grinned: "By the way, I also like fishing. We should be able to get along well."

Yang Mo opened his eyes, looked at the cigarette handed to him, then looked at the drawer-style cigarette box that the young man was still holding. After sighing silently, his expression became a smile: "...Brother?"

Yang Mo chewed the words with some amusement, but did not take the cigarette handed over by the other party: "Have we met before?"

The young man's expression became a little strange. He subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Junyue beside him. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "My last name is Chen... I met him once at the end of last year."

end of last year?

So it’s time for me to go to the county town to attend the year-end project summary meeting?

Your surname is Chen?

Weiwei recalled the members who attended the meeting at that time and roughly understood where this guy came from. He smiled and took the cigarette handed over by the other party, then pointed to the empty space beside him casually: "There are only a few places with shade, so bring a stool over and sit down!"

The young man had a complicated expression when he heard this and took a deep breath: "Okay!"
