Chapter 305 A noble person is not necessarily a good person
Xu Man had met Wu Xiang and knew that he was Tan Shaojun's secretary. She was very curious about why he was looking for Zhou Rong.
After Wu Xiang left, Xu Man asked Zhou Rong about her doubts.
Zhou Rong was just about to find Xu Man to inquire about something, so she told her that Tan Shaojun wanted to transfer her over to be his "little secretary".
Xu Man: "Being a secretary to Secretary Tan gives you the same pay as a deputy section chief! You'll get to interact with many officials on a daily basis, and you'll be able to build up a lot of connections, which will be good for the future development of your children.
When Secretary Tan is promoted or resigns, his secretary can usually be transferred to other departments to take up a 'real job'. The position will not be too low. I think you can agree to it."
Zhou Rong: “I know, it’s because these external things look so tempting that I have doubts.
I never believe in pie in the sky. The more tempting something is, the more deadly it is.
I don't know Secretary Tan. There are many people with outstanding abilities in this world. Why doesn't he promote others instead of me? "
Xu Man thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, you should have met before, but you just didn't say hello. On the day Zhou Cai got married, Secretary Tan also attended the wedding. We ran out to chat in the middle of the banquet, and he ran into us.
You have an outstanding temperament and are easily unforgettable. Secretary Tan must have remembered you that day, and now that he has found an opportunity, he wants to transfer you to his side."
Zhou Rong asked: "How old is he? Is his wife still alive?"
Xu Man smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Secretary Tan's two children are adults, and they have a good relationship with their lovers.
Secretary Tan’s wife seems to work in the Propaganda Department. I met her once when Chengnan and I attended a wedding banquet at a cadre’s home. They were sitting together, talking and laughing, and they looked very affectionate.
Zhou Rong pondered for a moment and said, "I will go to Secretary Tan tomorrow to find out more about the situation, and then decide whether to do this job as a 'little secretary' or not."
Xu Man: "Okay, no matter what decision you make, I support you!"
The next day, Zhou Rong went to find Wu Xiang and asked him to help introduce Tan Shaojun.
As soon as Tan Shaojun saw Zhou Rong, he asked her if she had completed the entry procedures.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Thank you Secretary Tan for your appreciation. I haven't decided whether to come to work yet."
Tan Shaojun asked with a smile: "You look down on the secretary's job?"
Zhou Rong: "Of course not! Being able to be Secretary Tan's secretary is a blessing I have accumulated for several lifetimes. It's just that I have no experience as a secretary, and I'm afraid I won't do a good job and bring discredit to you."
Tan Shaojun: "I have read your reports in the newspapers. You have a very high level of ideological awareness and you are a top student at Jiangcheng University. You are definitely capable of being my secretary. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Xiao Wu or you can ask me."
Zhou Rong smiled faintly and said, "I heard that employees who have not been to the battlefield have to go to the countryside for training for a period of time. Since my divorce, I have been raising three children alone. They are still young and cannot be separated from adults at home. If the organization arranges for me to go to the countryside, I will be very embarrassed."
Tan Shaojun: "I know your situation. Don't worry about going to the countryside. It won't be assigned to you."
Zhou Rong: "If I ask for special treatment, will other colleagues have any opinions? If it implicates you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.
My family was originally from a peasant background, and life has only improved a little since we moved to the city. If I were to cause you trouble by accident due to my ignorance, I would be really sorry for your kindness in supporting me."
Having said that, Tan Shaojun knew what Zhou Rong was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, just do your job well, and no one will bother you.
My son is serving in the army under Captain Jiang and has always been taken care of by Captain Jiang. I am very grateful. On the day of his wedding, I also attended the wedding and only then did I know that you are his aunt.
Captain Jiang is my family's benefactor, so it's my duty to take care of his aunt. Just work hard, and as long as you don't make any big mistakes, I can keep you safe."
When Zhou Rong heard this, she understood what was going on. It turned out that Tan Shaojun wanted to curry favor with the Jiang family through her!
It is said that the most lasting relationship between people is a stable exchange of value, but profit carries a knife and benefit carries blood, and all chips involving interests are stained with blood.
Once she accepted Tan Shaojun's "benefits", it would be equivalent to automatically standing on his side. If she encountered problems in the future, he would definitely ask her to ask the Jiang family for help.
Regardless of whether the Jiang family will help, I am afraid that no matter what the outcome is, the situation of their family and Zhou Cai will be very embarrassing.
In the next few years, the situation will become more and more complicated. Who knows if Tan Shaojun has offended anyone behind the scenes and then taken the opportunity to be bullied? If she and the Jiang family are accidentally dragged into the water, everyone will be finished!
This kind of high-risk thing that allows others to take advantage of it is not her style.
Zhou Rong chuckled and said, "Thank you Secretary Tan for your kindness. When my younger sister was dating Captain Jiang, my father said that we Zhou family members can be poor but we cannot be spineless.
The Jiang family's power was earned by Army Commander Jiang and Battalion Commander Jiang through their military achievements, and has nothing to do with our Zhou family. My father warned us not to act under any banner of the Jiang family.
Army Commander Jiang and Battalion Commander Jiang are both upright people. When talking to us, they revealed that one should do things based on one's ability.
Captain Jiang has done your family a favor, so you can just go and ask him to repay the favor. It's not appropriate for me to take advantage of him for free. If my parents and Army Commander Jiang find out, our relationship will be in trouble.
I don’t have any lofty ambitions. I just want to raise my three children and watch them get married and start their own families.
There are many chores at home, and I cannot work overtime. I have to go home at a certain time to help my children with their homework. I think the position of manager of a fabric and clothing store is more suitable for me. "
Tan Shaojun smiled and said, "I won't force you to do anything. When you figure it out, you can come to me and I'll keep the position of secretary for you."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, thank you Secretary Tan."
After Zhou Rong returned to the clothing store, Xu Man hurriedly asked her how the talks went and whether she was going to work as a secretary.
Zhou Rong said that she rejected Tan Shaojun and told Xu Man the general content of their conversation.
Xu Man sighed and said, "I thought you had met a noble person, but it turns out that he wanted to use you. Fortunately, you were alert, otherwise we would have been fooled."
Zhou Rong smiled and said: "A noble person is not necessarily a good person. People always seek benefits and avoid harm. No one will be nice to someone for no reason. It's just that they see the value in him.
If that useful value disappears one day, I can’t say whether I will be the first to be thrown out as a discarded pawn and take the blame! "
Xu Man: "I think so too. Since it's hard to make a living outside, we can just stay in the store and live a carefree life without worrying about food and drink!"
Zhou Rong: "Yes! I heard that there is a very handsome guy among the chefs in the canteen of the cultural troupe. Let's go early and stand in front of the window to take a few more glances."
Xu Man pulled Zhou Rong out and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
