At noon, the four of us ate six dishes at this small restaurant, and Director Wen paid the bill.
As they left the small restaurant, Director Wen, holding the USB drive, said:
"Engineer Zheng! Let me tell you the truth! Actually, several other departments also want to contact you, but they are all too embarrassed to do so."
"How about I give them a call?"
"Director Wen! You've gone too far! I'm beholden to you because I eat your food, but I didn't eat any of theirs."
"That's easy, I'll have them treat you to a meal one by one, won't that solve the problem?"
At this point, Director Wen pointed to the small restaurant:
"They can't be this high-class; they need to be treated to something better."
"I'm truly impressed by you, Director Wen. With your eloquence and competence, you should be given extra tasks."
"Ha... then I'll make the call."
Director Wen really didn't hold back; he made the call right away.
Since they all live in the compound, I told them to go directly to my small courtyard.
When I got back, the courtyard was almost full.
Jiang Lan hadn't left yet; she was making tea for them.
"Engineer Zheng!"
As soon as I went in, they all stood up.
"Hey! Gentlemen, please don't do this, please sit down!"
There was a seat left over at the stone table: "Come on, Engineer Zheng! Come and sit down."
"No need, no need, I'll just find any place."
Just kidding, they want me to sit in the seat of honor.
"You can't just sit anywhere! We're counting on you to work on our software! Come on, come on!"
They forcibly dragged me to the head of the table and pressed me down there.
I had just sat down when Old Sun arrived.
Everyone stood up again.
"Old Sun!"
Old Sun, carrying a large water glass, said with a smile:
"Don't be shy, I just saw you all running here, so I came to check it out."
I gave a wry smile: "Old Sun! Don't think I'm in a meeting. I've been conscripted to design software for them."
But we have a deal! You guys have to treat me to a meal.
"Ha..." Old Sun came to my side: "Their spirit is worth learning from. We should make sure to squeeze some money out of you."
When it comes to hosting a dinner party, I think we should let them discuss who will provide the drinks and who will provide the food.
"We can't skimp on the quality. Let's each chip in two thousand for a meal, and I'll get to enjoy it too."
"Ha...good!"
Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Jiang Lan looked on with envy, thinking, "None of the officials here are low-ranking."
The fact that I'm chatting and laughing with them like this reflects my status.
"Jiang Lan! Can you cook?"
After I finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
"This is..."
Good heavens! These leaders have been here for ages and still don't recognize Jiang Lan.
