Chapter 115: Terrifying Article Talent
Looking at Yang Jinbao's arrogant back as he left, Lu An smiled.
If Lu An had previously been guessing based on his twenty years of office experience in his previous life, now he was completely certain that this was a rookie.
Because anyone who has been involved in writing official documents knows that it is a meticulous job that requires repeated consideration of every word and cannot be rushed. Therefore, for all the writers in the government, staying up late and working overtime is the norm.
I have been writing materials for twenty years in my two lifetimes, and I have only written more than half of it now.
But Yang Jinbao had already finished writing it, so it is not difficult to guess what he wrote.
Of course, Lu An was not just guessing based on experience, he had also thought that what if this talented student from Huaqing University was really such a genius that he could easily handle official documents and write them very well?
Therefore, Lu An deliberately did not cover it just now, just to see his reaction to his document.
If he feels pressured and goes back to revise his work immediately, it will prove that he really understands official document writing. You cannot hide your incompetence and must give 100% of your energy to deal with it.
As a result, he still maintained such a frivolous attitude and mocked himself for his empty and weak words.
Well, that proves that he simply cannot understand the good and bad of official documents. I don't need to care too much about it. I can continue to hide my shortcomings and not stand out too much and cause unnecessary trouble. The ups and downs of his official career in his previous life for twenty years made Lu An understand that being low-key and moderate is the way to go in officialdom.
Thinking of this, Lu An turned the manuscript in his hand back to the front and deliberately made some mistakes to prove that he was indeed a newcomer in the agency.
Lu An kept writing and revising, especially imitating the writing style of a newbie, and he was busy until late at night.
Lu An stretched himself. After writing at the desk for such a long time, even his young body could hardly bear it.
Finally, I copied the lid, which had been revised so many times that it was unrecognizable, and then I finished the work.
However, when leaving the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection building, Lu An saw the security department at the door and suddenly had an idea. He went to ask if they had seen Yang Jinbao from the Third Department come in the evening.
After receiving a reply from the Security Department that it definitely did not have the product, Lu An finally felt relieved and was certain that it was indeed a counterfeit product.
The next morning, Lu An came to the office yawning.
Seeing this, Yang Jinbao sneered, "Comrade Lu An looks so tired. Did he write very late last night? Did he stay up all night?"
Yang Jinbao deliberately spoke very loudly so that all his colleagues in the office could hear him and let them know that Lu An could not write his own report speech and that he, a Huaqing university student, had to come to the rescue in the end.
Lu An saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
So Lu An smiled embarrassedly and said, "I wrote it quite late. After all, official document writing is still too difficult for me now. I still need to learn from other colleagues."
Lu An's modesty was recognized and supported by other colleagues in the office. They told Lu An to relax, saying that not everyone could handle official documents right away. They had all been working in the office for many years and had wasted a lot of paper before they could master it.
It was obvious that these people were not only trying to comfort Lu An, they were also subtly reminding Yang Jinbao that young people should not be too arrogant.
Yang Jinbao sneered at this. He did not take these reminders seriously. After all, he was different from them.
Soon it was time to go to work. Zhao Yuedong came to the office and Lu An stood up with his report draft and handed it in.
Yang Jinbao was obviously determined to break up with Lu An, so he followed Lu An into Zhao Yuedong's office.
Zhao Yuedong picked up Lu An's copy first. After just a quick glance, Zhao Yuedong was surprised. He looked up at Lu An and asked, "Did you write this? Did you ask anyone else for help?"
Lu An nodded: "I wrote it. I revised it until very late yesterday. If there are any shortcomings, please criticize and correct me."
"There are some problems, but they are minor flaws that are not harmful. The main structure of the manuscript and the written standards are up to standard," commented Zhao Yuedong.
When several colleagues at the door heard Zhao Yuedong's comments, they all looked up in surprise.
You have to know that Zhao Yuedong is an old writer in the agency. With so many years of experience, he would scold him every time he submitted a manuscript. I didn't expect that Lu An would get such a high evaluation for his first manuscript submission today.
Zhao Yuedong was no less surprised than his colleagues outside.
As a veteran in government agencies, he understood better than anyone how difficult it is to write official documents, especially reports to leaders, which have many difficult and key points.
Zhao Yuedong thought that even if he had written an article of this quality twenty years ago, he would not have been able to do so, let alone when he first joined the government.
Therefore, Zhao Yuedong's first reaction was whether this guy had asked someone to help him write for him.
But soon, without Lu An having to answer, Zhao Yuedong denied it himself, because anyone who wanted to join the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had to undergo a background check, and he knew very well that Lu An didn't know anyone in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Besides, even if he knew an experienced writer who could write articles of this level, a young man like him would not have the face to invite him.
"Have you ever written this kind of official document before?" Zhao Yuedong asked again.
Lu An thought for a moment and then answered: "I wrote for the student union and department leaders in school before. Later, when I was in the 318 office, I also learned and borrowed the writing methods of other manuscripts in the unit."
Zhao Yuedong suddenly remembered that when Lu An was at 318, he was indeed studying a stack of old materials every day.
It's just a sudden realization, but it's still terrifying, because if one can learn to write just by looking at the materials, then the writers in the unit wouldn't be so valuable. Even if a person writes materials very well, his name could be submitted to the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Putting these thoughts aside, Zhao Yuedong then picked up his pen and began to correct Lu An: "The overall structure of your article does not need to be changed, but some of the wording and expression need to be fine-tuned."
"Look here, you wrote that there was correct command from the leadership and cooperation and help from comrades, but this is not deep enough."
"You can change it to 'thanks to the correct leadership of the Party Committee and the cooperation and help of comrades'. This statement will be more three-dimensional."
"Also, the organization of forces for investigation and arrest is too weak. It can be changed to..."
Sure enough, Zhao Yuedong pointed out the loopholes left by Lu An and helped Lu An correct them one by one.
Here Lu An fully appreciated Zhao Yuedong's ability as a veteran writer of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Although what he pointed out were basically tails that Lu An deliberately left behind, some of Zhao Yuedong's suggestions for revision were indeed better than his previous ones.
After writing the last word, Zhao Yuedong closed the pen and returned the manuscript to Lu An.
“That’s basically it. You can modify it first, and then bring it back to me when you’re done,” said Zhao Yuedong.
Lu An took the manuscript back with both hands: "Thank you for your guidance and instruction, I have benefited a lot from it!"
Zhao Yuedong smiled and said, "Everyone has gone through this. It's pretty good that you can achieve this level in your first writing."
Lu An thanked again.
At this time, Yang Jinbao, who had been waiting nearby, could no longer hold back: "Director, please also criticize and correct my manuscript!"
