  The position of section chief is many old comrades struggled for years but did not reach, but now a young man who has not worked for a few years sat, they are very unconvinced, but just dare not say, because he has become the boss of the old comrades.  The young man was happy about his promotion and thought that he would one day make a name for himself and would not let his relatives and superiors down. So he decided that he must do his duty and make some achievements to show his superiors. But he didn't expect that things would not go as planned.  When he came to the office, he saw a basket of fruits and a letter on the seat, and the envelope contained 1,000 yuan, but no address or name was written on the letter. When he was wondering, he received a phone call from his brother. It turned out that one of his brother's friends had a fight with someone over a business matter, causing serious injuries to others, and hoped he could help. As soon as he heard it, he made his position clear: "I can't help with this, he should take responsibility for what he did wrong." Later his brother said many more kind words, but he just didn't agree. He asked his brother to return both the money and the fruit, but his brother said, "He sent it himself, so if you want to return it, you can do it yourself."  Every day after that, a basket of fruit would appear on his seat, and his brother's attitude toward him was getting colder and colder, and he began to be in a dilemma. He did not know what to do, he wanted to turn in those fruits and money, but was afraid that it would cause suspicion against himself; if you help the man's favor, afraid that if word gets out, he is not good to step down, I'm afraid the position of section chief is also difficult to protect. But do not help, will be met with brother indifferent attitude.  He never knew what to do. Money, he put in the drawer locked, not even dare to move; fruit is not kept for too long, but he did not eat himself, all to the office staff to eat, his subordinates still think he treats every day!  However, the last thing he wanted to happen happened.  One day, his subordinates told him that there was a prisoner who knew him and wanted to see him. He met the prisoner, the prisoner kindly begged him to help, but he just refused, the prisoner saw that the soft did not work so hard, said: "Since you received my money and fruit should help, or I will tell your superiors!" The section chief said angrily, "Sue or not, as you wish."  The matter finally spread, and he became the focus of discussion, although he tried to explain to his superiors, his superiors bite the bribe, and told him that many people can sit in the seat of the section chief, so let him sit to trust him, did not expect him to be so confused.  He was angry and did not want to explain, said loudly: "Who cares, who likes to let who sit ah!  The next day he handed in his resignation.  Those old comrades who were not convinced knew that he was no longer the section chief, so they did not have to speak ill of him secretly. Some of them even said, "Who knows if he found a relationship to sit in this position of section chief!"  He thought, "This seat is not to sit, I must find a more suitable seat for them.  Later, after many trials and tribulations, he finally found a seat he liked. But whenever he thought of that, he still regretted it, what was his fault?
