"Hehe I..."
Director Ma spoke awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Director Ma, please don't mention your two daughters. We just asked, and Director Chen said you only have one precious child."
Director Chen looked confused: No, when did I say that? It’s not good to attract hatred like this…
You have to know that Director Ma's brother-in-law is a member of the Revolutionary Committee. He usually doesn't dare to offend him. What kind of place is the Revolutionary Committee? Even good people will be skinned alive if they go in.
Director Chen wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he saw the pile of military medals on Li Xiangyang out of the corner of his eye...
Forget it. He can't afford to offend both sides, so he might as well just watch the show quietly.
Director Ma was not without temper. When he heard Shen Lingling's criticism, his anger rose. He looked at Shen Lingling opposite him with a half-smile and said:
"Comrade Shen, please forgive me when you can. You are so young and your words are too harsh. I accidentally took your admission letter home, and my daughter accidentally opened it.
If I hadn't gone home to get it today, I don't know what would have happened to your admission letter. You didn't say thank you and kept on being aggressive. You took the exam in vain."
Shen Lingling knew that he was no good, but she didn't expect him to be so shameless. She didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she said:
"I don't know whether my study was in vain or not, I only know that your position as the director of the Education Bureau was in vain."
Then he turned to Director Chen and said, "Director Chen, it seems that Director Ma has the final say in the Education Bureau. When he opens his mouth, you dare not say a word.
If that's the case, then how can we, the little people, dare to say anything? Since I have found my notice, I won't bother you any more. Village chief, Shengsheng, let's go."
Li Xiangyang glared at Director Ma viciously. He also knew that he couldn't deal with him openly. Everyone knew what was going on, but no one could do anything to him unless they caught him in the act.
Lu Wensheng didn't say anything. She knew that Lingling must have her own solution. No matter what decision she made, she would respect her.
The remaining few people had no objection either. They were there to support the party, and when they saw the village chief and the little deer "Sister Deer" stand up, they also stood up and were about to leave.
Director Chen of course heard the hidden meaning in Shen Lingling's words and said:
"Why don't you eat something here before you go? How can you leave after coming all the way here and not even having a hot meal?"
Shen Lingling glanced at Director Ma, then at the hospitable Director Chen, and refused:
"Director Chen, you should spend your time taking care of your household chores. We won't keep you here."
"Let's go, village chief. We should still have time to go to the state-owned restaurant. My second brother told me that the new hot noodles in the state-owned restaurant are delicious. Let's go and try them. I'll treat you."
"Okay, I heard from Zhenxing a few days ago. Thanks to Xiao Shen, let's go and try it today." Li Xiangyang said with a smile.
"There's also braised beef in soy sauce, uncle. My sister Chen is treating us so let's eat as much as we can today." Ma Yingjie ran to open the door happily.
In less than a moment, Director Chen and Director Ma were the only ones left in the office.
Looking at Director Ma's face full of resentment, Director Chen somehow had a premonition that this matter would not be let go.
Sure enough, things turned out just as he predicted. Within three days after the incident, Director Ma got into big trouble.
Director Chen immediately swore that as long as he was in office, the teaching staff of the Ping'an Brigade would be the best in the entire county.
Of course, this is all a story for later, let’s get back to the state-owned hotel.
The state-owned restaurant was about to close when they arrived. Fortunately, Ma Yingjie was sweet-talkerish, and Li Xiangyang also showed off his equipment at the right time.
So much so that the waiter whose eyes were on the top of his head showed the standard eight teeth:
"Comrade. What would you like to eat?"
This was the first time in Li Xiangyang's life that he had enjoyed such treatment in a state-owned restaurant. He knew why without having to think about it. He said with a serious face:
"Five bowls of hot noodles first, and then you ask them what they want to eat for the rest."
Ma Yingjie immediately took advantage of the heat and shouted, "Two pounds of braised beef slices."
Shen Lingling continued: "Order another portion of braised pork and stewed sauerkraut with pork bones."
Lu Wensheng didn’t order anything because her favorite Lingling had already ordered one.
When Shen Lingling was paying, she saw the captain's eyes fixed on the Xifeng liquor on the counter, and he waved his hand and asked for another bottle of Xifeng liquor.
This made Li Xiangyang and Li Fugui very happy, especially Li Xiangyang. He had only drunk Xifeng Liquor very rarely. That stuff was so expensive that a bottle of it was as much as several bottles of Laobai Gan.
"Xiao Shen, this is not a good idea. We don't need such good wine. Let's just buy two bottles of Lao Bai Gan to try it!"
Shen Lingling smiled and said: "Uncle, please don't be polite to me. Today, it is thanks to you and the captain that I got through this. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to talk to Director Ma like this.
Besides, we have been in the team for such a long time and we haven't treated you guys to a proper meal, so let's make up for it today."
Li Xiangyang was about to speak when Shen Lingling continued, "Village Chief, we will be leaving after the New Year. We don't know when we will meet again. You won't refuse, right?"
Lu Wensheng also advised: "That's right, uncle, if you really feel embarrassed, wait until the grain arrives in Beijing and ask him to cook two more meals for us."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyang immediately swallowed the polite words that were about to come out of his mouth and only uttered one word:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you two!"
Only then did Shen Lingling pay the money and the ticket, and they all sat down around the table near the fire and talked about what had happened today.
It was nothing more than the captain and Lu Hao scolding Director Ma, saying that he was fanciful and had an intentional plan, and that he would not have a good ending.
Only Li Xiangyang, Shen Lingling and Lu Wensheng didn't speak. The reason they didn't speak was that it was not the right time yet, and Li Xiangyang didn't speak because he could see that these two people were up to no good.
It's been so long, if he still can't see that these two kids are not easy to deal with, then he has lived in vain!
