My courtyard shelter

Chapter 321 Valentine's Day

True to his word, Section Chief Li wandered into Director Cao's office during his lunch break. read

"Lao Li, why are you here?"

"I'm going to be transferred away next week. Before I leave, I want to have a good chat with you, an old friend."

"Are you sure?" Director Cao's face was a little heavy.

Section Chief Li nodded: "We are already going through the procedures, and we will report there as soon as next Monday."

"Sit wherever you want. I still have some Longjing here. I'm giving you an advantage today."

Director Cao stood up and walked to the bookshelf nearby.

"Then I won't be polite."

Chief Li sat down on the sofa carelessly. Without the constraints of his superiors and subordinates, he was now very open-minded.

After the tea was brewed, Director Cao personally filled it up for Section Chief Li, then sat down on the seat next to him, and he also took the tea and tasted it carefully.

After drinking a cup of tea, Section Chief Li spoke first:

"Old Cao, what are you going to do with my position as section chief?"

"This is the job of the Human Resources Department..."

Section Chief Li waved his hand: "What's the relationship between the two of us? Don't talk nonsense. Let's open the skylight and speak frankly!"

"Why, are you here to be a lobbyist for Xiao Xu?"

"That's right!" Section Chief Li simply admitted, "Although Xiao Xu is a little junior, his work ability is absolutely fine. He is now managing the daily affairs of the Security Department, and there are no mistakes."

"If it had been two or three years later, I would definitely have supported it with both hands, but the current situation really puts me in a dilemma."

"Old Cao, what are you embarrassed about?"

"I know your worries are just that you are afraid that Xiao Xu will steal Li Wei's future, but if you think about it from another angle, wouldn't it be a good choice to let Xiao Xu take your place?"

Section Chief Li advised.

"Haha, tell me what's a good idea?" Director Cao said meaningfully.

"Except for other things, Xiao Xu and his family are rich and well-connected. They will definitely be more helpful to your family than Li Wei. Let's talk about the salted fish before. If Li Wei went there, he would definitely not be able to bring back so many goods. ”

Director Cao nodded: "I admit this, but as the old saying goes, if you know the people and the faces, you don't know the hearts. Aren't you afraid of Xiao Xu... crossing the river and burning the bridge?"

"I can't guarantee Xiao Xu, but can you guarantee Li Wei?" Section Chief Li asked.

"We have a teacher-student relationship."

"So what about the teacher-student relationship? Once it reaches that point, let alone the teacher-student relationship, it won't matter even if he is your son-in-law."

"I won't bullshit you. It's up to you to believe it or not."

Director Cao doesn't want to give up easily.

"Okay!" Section Chief Li filled up the tea for his old friend, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the consequences. If Xiao Xu loses the election, based on my understanding of him, he will most likely resign."

"Resign?" Director Cao frowned.

"That's right, Xiao Xu's family runs a company with thousands of employees. If it were you, if you were frustrated at work, what would you choose?"

Without waiting for Director Cao to answer, Section Chief Li continued: "If Xiao Xu leaves, let's not talk about how we will deal with Mr. Liao and the others. Just talk about the benefits he has brought to us. We will definitely not even think about it in the future."

"I'm not suppressing him forever, it's just two or three years late. I will make it up to him later. How about you explain it to him for me?"

Director Cao requested.

"It's useless. Don't look at Xiao Xu. He usually speaks very kindly, but rich second generations like them, how could they swallow their anger? Wouldn't it be nice for him to go back and become a general manager?" Section Chief Li used a fashionable saying.

Director Cao scratched his hair, this is troublesome!

Section Chief Li kept up his efforts: "Old Cao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. The drought is getting more and more serious now, and no one knows what will happen next.

At times like this, we need to be more cautious. The benefits brought by Xiao Xu are real. Are you really willing to give up those things? It's easy to give up, but hard to get back. "

"Let me think about it again!"

"What are you still thinking about? To put it another step back, even if Xiao Xu becomes the section chief, it's not certain whether he can go further?"

These words made Director Cao suddenly realize that he was overstepping the mark. If Li Wei couldn't compete with Xiao Xu, a half-assed section chief, then he might as well abdicate early and make way for someone more talented.

"Old Li, what you said makes sense."

In fact, in the final analysis, Director Cao is still reluctant to part with those benefits, and at the same time, he is also afraid that his family will alienate him.

It's better to feel sorry for Li Wei than to feel sorry for his family.

The lesser of two evils!

"Old Cao, did you agree?"

Section Chief Li was very happy. He didn't expect to convince the other party so easily.

Director Cao nodded: "You go back and tell Xiao Xu to let him relax. This position of section chief cannot be lost. It must be his."

"Okay, then I'll thank you on his behalf."

…

After get off work, Xu Dong returned home humming a ditty.

In the yard, the triplets were playing house.

Dabao drives an excavator and is the excavator driver; Erbao holds a leather bag and acts as the boss of the construction site; Xiaobao wears his father's police hat and a toy gun on his waist, and he looks like a policeman at first glance.

"Dad is back."

Dabao jumped off the excavator with a "swish" sound, and then rushed towards his father, followed closely by Erbao and Xiaobao.

"Have you been good today?"

"Yes." The three brothers nodded at the same time.

Xu Dong took out his wallet: "Okay, dad will reward each of you with ten yuan of pocket money today. Be sure to keep it and don't let mom find out."

"Dad, you are so kind!"

After sending away the three brothers, Xu Dong secretly came to the vegetable garden. Today was his first day at work and it was also Valentine's Day. He wanted to surprise his wife.

Middle-aged couples also need romance.

I cut nine flowers with scissors, but unfortunately there were no roses, but now is not the time to be particular, and having flowers is better than nothing.

I brought the flowers to the bedroom, tied them with a rope, then found some pieces of white paper, wrapped the flowers, and a bouquet of flowers was ready.

Conditions don't allow it, so that's all we can do for the time being.

Finally, the flowers are secretly hidden in the cupboard.

At nine-thirty in the evening, Yang Lina was getting ready to go to bed when Xu Dong suddenly reached out and covered her eyes.

"What are you doing so late at night?" Yang Lina struggled.

"Don't open your eyes!" Xu Dong shouted.

Yang Lina immediately knew what was going on. Her husband must have a surprise for her. Today seemed to be Valentine's Day.

The dead ghost finally knows about romance.

Xu Dong took his wife to the cupboard, then took out the flowers and placed them directly in front of his wife's eyes.

"Okay, open your eyes!"

Yang Lina was very excited and took the flowers.

"Happy Valentine's Day, wife, I love you!"

"I love you too, hubby."
