Chapter 90: Hoe Dances Well (2/2)



Working in such a busy government unit, overtime is the norm, so how big of a deal could it be?

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan was not afraid of offending anyone, and he did not take the two men's seniority to heart. Seniority allowed him to enjoy some small privileges appropriately, but it did not mean that he could ignore everything.

Sure enough, on Friday, Lao Zhu started packing his things, and Sister Zhang's eyes became gloomy when she saw this scene.

"Xiuyuan, go and have a cigarette." Li Xiuyuan was busy with his work. When he heard someone calling him from behind, he thought it was Wang Zhitao, but when he turned around, he found it was Lao Zhu.

"Brother Zhu." Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised, but quickly nodded and agreed.

Li Xiuyuan and Lao Zhu came downstairs. Li Xiuyuan took out a cigarette on his own initiative, but Lao Zhu pushed it away and took out his own cigarette and handed it to Li Xiuyuan.

"If you don't mind, you can hit me."

Li Xiuyuan took it with a smile, lit it for Lao Zhu first, and then lit it for himself. Li Xiuyuan knew that Lao Zhu must have something to talk to him about, but he did not ask proactively. He kept calm and chatted casually about work.

After a while, Old Zhu took the initiative to speak: "Xiuyuan, it's like this. You know me, I'm an old smoker. I'm not like you young people with good legs and feet. I can run down to smoke several times a day. Can you please take care of me when you arrange it and let me lean against the window?"

When Old Zhu was talking to Li Xiuyuan, his face looked a little embarrassed. Although he didn't say a word of begging from beginning to end, his attitude was very humble. He felt a little uncomfortable with such a humble attitude in front of a young man who was almost the same age as his son.

But after thinking about it all night last night, he also understood that at his age, if he quarreled with Li Xiuyuan over such a small matter, it would not look good. It would seem that the old comrade was relying on his seniority to bully others. Besides, it would be useless. If he did not quarrel and continued to be awkward, what if Li Xiuyuan deliberately dealt with him and arranged a seat for him that was not by the window?

I will feel uncomfortable smoking in the future. If I smoke in the office for a long time, those who don't smoke will have opinions. If I run downstairs, my legs and feet will feel uncomfortable at my age.

This matter cannot avoid the young man Li Xiuyuan. He has finally understood that no matter how young a leader is, he is still a leader. As long as he holds power, he can exercise power with justification. No matter how senior or old he is, he is still a clerk. When others do not give him face, he will feel uncomfortable.

Li Xiuyuan was waiting for Lao Zhu to bow his head. As long as Lao Zhu showed his attitude, he would not let the old comrade lose face: "Brother Zhu, you are too polite. You don't need to say this. I will also consider it. You are a senior in our General Affairs Department. This time, the desks and chairs in the office are rearranged to make everyone more tidy and in better spirits when working in the future, instead of causing trouble for everyone.

Otherwise, wouldn't I really become the person Huang Wei said was causing trouble for everyone? "

Old Zhu felt relieved when he heard that. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Not really, not really. How could that be? Well, I'll be home alone on the weekends and have nothing to do. I can come over and help everyone out."

"This... If that's the case, that would be great. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhu." Li Xiuyuan agreed directly without refusing. If they could spend more time together in private, their relationship would naturally become closer.

It is certainly good for Qu Hui to have an independent office, but he stays with people from the General Affairs Department all day long. As long as he is good at handling the job, it is not certain who will have the final say in the General Affairs Department in the future.
