Zhou Mo felt that agreeing to start a relationship with Qi Tan was a huge sin.
If this continues...
Zhou Mo didn't dare to think about it.
It’s better to stop here.
Qi Tan couldn't understand why Zhou Mo refused to accompany him to the imperial capital, and said that Zhou Mo was stingy and didn't know how to consider him.
Zhou Mo was also angry. Why didn't she consider him? She decided to break up because she cared too much about him.
The two of them were arguing, neither of them willing to give in.
In a fit of anger, Zhou Mo deleted all of Qi Tan's contact information.
Qi Tan never contacted her again.
It was only after a week of calming down that Zhou Mo realized that they could actually have a good talk and there was no need to make things so tense.
Keren’s contact information was gone, and Qi Tan was still preparing for the exam at that time.
Zhou Mo thought, let’s just say goodbye and not disturb each other.
Perhaps because they broke up not because of cheating or having an affair, when they met again, apart from being a little uncomfortable, they were still able to say a few words to each other.
…
Qi Tan brought four people to an office.
There was a row of landline phones on the table, and only two people were busy at the phones, answering calls and taking notes at the same time.
Even though I answered the phone so frequently and quickly, the "ring, ring, ring" sound continued.
When one of the staff members saw Qi Tan coming in, he hurriedly put down the phone.
"Director Qi."
Qi Tan nodded slightly. "Lao Zhang, didn't you tell me that there weren't enough people to answer the phone? I've brought them to you. They're all student volunteers from the University of Tokyo. Please assign them tasks."
The man called Lao Zhang looked past Qi Tan and saw Zhou Mo. He asked in surprise, "Mo Mo?"
"Uncle Zhang," Zhou Mo greeted shyly.
"Is your father in good health?" asked Lao Zhang.
"It's pretty good," Zhou Mo said with a smile.
Lao Zhang thought Qi Tan didn't know Zhou Mo's identity, so he quickly explained to Qi Tan, "Director Qi, Momo's father is Zhou Zheng, the man you insisted on rehiring some time ago."
"I know," Qi Tan said.
Old Zhang's eyes were full of surprise.
Zhou Mo was also surprised and asked, "You are the one who asked my dad to rehire me?"
"What else?" Qi Tan asked her.
"Then with me..."
"Don't be so self-indulgent," Qi Tan said. "I've carefully reviewed Uncle Zhou's work during his tenure. It's no exaggeration to say he's an expert in maternal and child health management. His abilities are beyond doubt. I rehired him because I really need a director in charge of maternal and child health care."
Zhou Mo lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was overthinking it.
"Lao Zhang, assign them tasks."
"Why."
After Qi Tan handed the four people over to Lao Zhang, he turned and left.
Lao Zhang led the four people and arranged seats for them. There were more than a dozen telephones, and two people were busy managing them. With four more people, everything became easy to handle.
Zhou Mo and others mainly answered calls from Qin Zhenghua's office, the flood control headquarters, Manshan Municipal Government, the 120 dispatch center and other parties.
Now is an emergency, and the general document processing process, from drafting the notice to review, to stamping and then issuing it to various subordinates or relevant units, is obviously not suitable for the current situation.
The phone is the fastest way to communicate.
However, in an emergency, there are too many calls to answer them all, so we have to send a specialist to take charge of this matter.
To ensure the efficiency of telephone communication, specialists need to take notes, extract key points, and convey the information accurately while making and receiving calls.
This matter would not have happened to Zhou Mo and other volunteers.
However, Qi Tan was a new official and his subordinates were not very obedient.
Uncle Zhang came to help because he is a nice person.
This is the bad thing about working in a public institution.
Older people all have a fixed position. If they start to act like a spoiled child, it means they have fallen out with their leaders, and the leaders have no way to deal with them.
He has a job position, so even the leader cannot fire him.
Especially when meeting a young leader like Qi Tan, they are helpless against those old foxes.
Coupled with the urgent task of flood control, the pressure on Qitan has doubled.
Because Lao Zhang and Zhou Zheng are old colleagues and he has a good temper, he also takes special care of Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo made phone calls all afternoon and his throat was sore.
Old Zhang got some Oriental Leaves from somewhere and gave each of the four girls a bottle. He also took out his own throat lozenges and shared them with them.
Elsewhere, Xiao Sun, another young man on the phone with Lao Zhang, joked, "Uncle Zhang, you're so partial. I've been working hard with you here for a few days, and you haven't even given me a lozenge. You treat Sister Momo like your own daughter, don't you?"
"You're the only one who talks too much. Eat." Uncle Zhang pulled a plate out of the box and threw it directly to Xiao Sun. "Momo is your Uncle Zhou's daughter. Your Uncle Zhou and I have been colleagues and friends for decades. Do you think Momo is my daughter?"
Zhou Mo felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Uncle Zhou and I had an agreement that if we had a son and a daughter, we would arrange a marriage for them," Old Zhang said with a heavy sigh. "Unfortunately, we both had daughters."
He turned and asked Zhou Mo: "Momo, are you still single now? I have a nephew..."
"Uh..." Zhou Mo grinned awkwardly with a forced smile.
She thought Uncle Zhang was only being nice to her for his father's sake, but who knew he was waiting for her here.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm already married."
"Huh?" Uncle Zhang was surprised. "When did this happen? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"
Zhou Mo smiled awkwardly, "It happened not long ago. We just got the marriage certificate and haven't had the wedding yet."
"Is that so?" Uncle Zhang said with a disappointed look on his face. "I was saying that my nephew was a good guy and was trying to match you two up. Now that you're married, just pretend I never said anything."
Zhou Mo pulled the corners of his lips slightly to hide his embarrassment.
Telephone services cannot be interrupted and need to be attended by someone 24 hours a day.
Lao Zhang and Xiao Sun hadn't slept for several days, and both looked tired.
Xiao Sun's dark circles are enough to make him a national treasure at the Sichuan and Chongqing Zoo.
Old Zhang is old and obviously lacks energy.
After chatting with Zhou Mo for a few words, he sat down at his workstation, and soon his head fell on the table.
Zhou Mo and his three classmates were busy until lunchtime.
It’s still a box lunch.
Unlike the dispatching station, the lunch boxes here are made uniformly by the office canteen.
Zhou Zheng once said that the CDC was running at a loss, so they contracted out the original office cafeteria. Although the staff still received subsidies for meals, the prices of meals generally increased, so they still had to pay part of the bill themselves. However, the taste and food were indeed much better than before.
The canteen staff pulled a cart and delivered the lunch boxes to the office door.
After knocking on the door, she asked, "Dinner is here. How many people are there?"
Xiao Sun immediately stood up and said, "Six, no, seven. I almost forgot about Director Qi."
