Chapter 164 Happy New Year's Eve
As soon as these words were spoken, Shao Jianjun understood, "Okay, Sister Bai Jing." He nodded, then he called out to Bai Jing.
Bai Jing stood up and took out a red envelope from the cloth bag, "Thank you." Then she handed the red envelope out.
Shao Jianjun did not accept it immediately, but looked at his mother. This kind of thing happens every year, and he would not accept things given by others.
"Oh, Xiaojing, you're being too polite." Zhou Meilian also stood up at this time, ignoring the others, "Auntie Zhou accepts your kindness, but you don't need this red envelope, so put it away quickly."
Bai Jing shook her head, "Aunt Zhou, this is not for you. It's for my brother Jianjun. Why, Aunt Zhou, you still have to be polite to me? In that case, then at noon..." Bai Jing paused here.
Zhou Meilian knew Bai Jing's personality well. "Okay, you're right. Take it. Take it." She looked at her son and said, "Why don't you thank Sister Bai Jing quickly?"
The red envelope was finally sent out, and Zhou Jianjun took the person to the study.
When he returned to the house and opened the red envelope, he was frightened and immediately went out to find his mother.
Zhou Meilin didn't expect that Bai Jing would give her son such a big red envelope.
"It's okay, just keep it. Mom will give a return gift to your sister Bai Jing later." Zhou Meilin was so relieved to see her son was so sensible.
In the study, besides Director Shao, there were two other people, one of whom was Lin Huayu, whom Bai Jing hated to the point of gritting her teeth.
If there wasn't another stranger, Bai Jing would have been unable to resist taking action.
He tricked her into patrolling for a month and didn't reveal a single word until the end of the year. Good job.
"Haha, Xiaojing is here. Come and sit down. I'll introduce her to you." Director Shao didn't know what Lin Huayu had done.
Otherwise he wouldn't be able to laugh at this moment.
"Thank you, Director Shao."
Bai Jing responded with a smile, then sat down.
"There's no outsider here. Call me Uncle Shao. By the way, let me introduce you." Director Shao smiled amiably, then pointed to a man sitting next to him whom Bai Jing didn't recognize and said, "This is my comrade-in-arms and the leader of the A City Secret Defense Department. His surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Zhenghao."
At this introduction, Zhou Zhenghao smiled. "Hello, Comrade Bai Jing. I've heard of your name for a long time. It's true that hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. I look forward to our next cooperation."
To be honest, he was really interested in this little girl with some legendary qualities. Although there was some joking in it, he had to admit that she was really capable. If she had been trained early on, who knows how great her abilities would be.
"You're joking. I'm just a soldier trained by Director Shao. Even if I have abilities, it was Director Shao who taught me well." Bai Jing answered politely.
When she heard the unit that person worked in, she was a little frightened. You know, the things people like them did were major matters that the country could not make public.
She didn't want to get involved, not because she didn't want to contribute to the country, but because she was afraid of being tied down.
"Haha, you're good at talking. You've brought out a good soldier." They all came out of the same trench and have similar personalities. Shao Guodong can like Bai Jing, and Zhou Zhenghao is even more so.
Look, the admiration in his eyes cannot be concealed.
"It's all thanks to Huayu. You know, she works under Huayu, and he takes her on missions." She has made contributions, but that doesn't erase the efforts of others.
When Bai Jing didn't smile at him, Lin Huayu knew that she had found out what he had done.
I feel a little embarrassed, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's my own fault.
Especially since she was just a little girl. He regretted it so much. If he had known earlier, he would have let those brats go.
"Xiao Jing, are you still angry? Don't be angry. How about I give you a big red envelope after work starts?" Lin Huayu didn't care about his face or his feelings at this time. He had to coax this girl.
You know, after the New Year, his superiors gave him a death order to take Bai Jing with him on a mission.
People with ability can't hide.
However, after Lin Huayu said this, Shao Guodong and Zhou Zhenghao became curious.
I don’t know what this guy did to make the little girl angry.
These two people quarreled a lot on weekdays, but they never got angry when it came to serious matters.
Bai Jing's unhappiness was clearly visible on her face today, which made them curious.
Bai Jing was a little unhappy when the matter was exposed in front of that leader. It would have been fine if it was just Director Shao, but there was also another person she was not familiar with, so she was naturally a little angry.
Seeing that Bai Jing didn't speak for a long time, Lin Huayu had to explain clearly with a bitter face.
Then he told her everything about how he had tricked the little girl.
Shao Guodong was so angry that he picked up the book at hand and threw it at him, "You really have grown up. You actually gave such a hard job to a little girl like Bai Jing. You really bring shame to us men. Humph, don't say you are a soldier from the army in the future."
Are you really angry?
That’s not the case. I just wanted to help this brat out. Even if others don’t know, he still knows.
This brat must be envious of others who can have their holiday early.
"No, it's okay if I was wrong. I'll compensate her now. I was wrong." When Lin Huayu heard that he was not allowed to say that he was a soldier, he looked reluctant.
Bai Jing felt a little better when she saw him like this.
I thought to myself, humph, this is not over yet.
The four of them chatted and laughed for a while, until Zhou Meilin came over to call them to have lunch, and then they happily went out.
All the people who were at home before have left, and it is finally not as noisy as before.
Zhou Meilian handed a notebook to her lover and said, "Look, these are the people and things that were given as gifts this year."
Shao Guodong took it and opened it to look at it. After flipping through a few pages and remembering some unfamiliar names and gifts, he pointed at that place and asked, "Why did these people send such expensive gifts? But they have something to ask for."
When they reach their position, they cannot avoid some people and things, such as giving gifts.
You can choose not to accept it, but you cannot become a loophole, otherwise what will those who want to accept it think of you?
This is the flattery in officialdom.
If you want to go far on this road, these things cannot be avoided.
All he can do is live up to his conscience.
"I haven't heard them say that, but they didn't tell me the details. If you feel it's not good, then find a chance to send the things back." Zhou Meilin experiences this every year and is already familiar with how to deal with it.
Shao Guodong nodded in agreement when he heard this. "Then you can prepare it. I'll find a chance to return the things during the first month of the lunar year."
"good."
Then he put the things away. Zhou Zhenghao sighed after seeing this, "These people are always looking for trouble. If something really happens, these things can't save them." He didn't agree with this approach at all, but he couldn't avoid encountering them on this road.
Fortunately, he is not married, otherwise he would have nowhere to hide during the New Year. Thinking of the situation at his old friend's family, he felt his scalp tingling.
Only he has the brains to deal with those people.
