The three of them came to the door of an open room not far away. Zhao Weiguo knocked on the door and walked in with Xu Jianguo and Funiu.
"Secretary Zhang, Comrade Xu Jianguo is here." Zhao Weiguo said.
Xu Jianguo led Funiu into the room and looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the desk.
The man was wearing a dark grey Mao suit, had a square face, wore glasses, and had his hair combed neatly. He looked a bit like a scholar and gave off a gentle and elegant vibe.
The man who was working with his head down heard Zhao Weiguo's voice, raised his head, looked at Xu Jianguo and Fu Niu, stood up and walked over, smiled and said: "Hello, Comrade Xu Jianguo, I am Zhang Aimin!"
"Hello, Secretary Zhang, I'm Xu Jianguo, and this is my sister Xu Mingzhen."
"Haha, little Fu Niu, I heard your Captain Li talk about her."
"Hello uncle, I'm Funiu!" the little girl smiled sweetly.
"Good girl Funiu, nice to meet you." Zhang Aimin said as he touched Funiu's little head.
"Jianguo, is it okay for me to call you that?"
"No problem, that's more intimate."
Zhang Aimin asked everyone to sit down, and Zhao Weiguo poured two glasses of water for Xu Jianguo and Funiu and placed them on the table.
"Jianguo, I went to the province to study some time ago, and I heard a lot of people mention you. I really didn't expect that there would be such an outstanding young person like you in our commune. This is my mistake at work!"
Xu Jianguo didn't expect Zhang Aimin to start his self-criticism right away. He was flattered and said quickly, "Secretary Zhang, please don't say that. As a member of our Hongqi Commune, I should do what I can. I don't deserve such praise from you!"
"Don't be arrogant or impatient! Good, good!" said Zhang Aimin.
"Jianguo, I called you here today for three things. The first is to commend you for your performance in capturing enemy spies. Originally, Commissioner Gao Zhenguo of the Administrative Office wanted you to attend the commendation meeting at the County Public Security Bureau, but I'm worried that there are still enemy spies out there. Too much publicity would be detrimental to the safety of you and Funiu, so I decided to commend you alone. I hope you don't mind!"
"Secretary Zhang, thank you for your thoughtful consideration for me and Fu Niu. I don't mind and will obey the organization's arrangements."
"Well, no wonder Mr. Zhou thinks highly of you, you are indeed a great person!"
"Mr. Zhou?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou from the Provincial Machinery Administration Bureau!"
"I see. I did meet Mr. Zhou once."
"You kid, you still want to hide it from me? You have saved so many people in the county, including Old Zhou's life. And you still say it was just a chance encounter? Let me tell you, when Old Zhou talked about you to me, his expression was as if he was praising his own grandson, with a proud expression on his face." Zhang Aimin said with a smile.
Xu Jianguo hadn't expected Zhang Aimin to already know how he and Mr. Zhou met. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "Hey, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to keep a low profile, didn't I?"
"You!" Zhang Aimin pointed at Xu Jianguo, stood up and walked to his desk, took out an envelope and a folded piece of paper from the drawer.
"Comrade Xu Jianguo!" Zhang Aimin came up to Xu Jianguo and shouted with a serious expression.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he quickly stood up and answered, "Here!"
"In recognition of your outstanding performance in capturing enemy spies, I commend you and award you the title of 'Young Hero.' Here is your certificate and reward." Zhang Aimin handed the certificate and envelope to Xu Jianguo, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Jianguo, work hard and keep up the good work!"
"Yes, I will definitely keep working hard and contribute more to our commune!"
"Haha, that's great!" Funiu next to her suddenly shouted, clapping her two little hands vigorously.
Xu Jianguo smiled, Zhang Aimin and Zhao Weiguo also smiled. At this moment, they all felt that this little girl was so cute.
Putting the certificate and envelope close to his body, Xu Jianguo rubbed Funiu's head and said, "Secretary Zhang, what is the second thing you mentioned?"
Zhang Aimin sat down on a chair and said, "The second thing I want to ask you is, are you willing to come work with me? Of course, you don't have to worry about Funiu being left unattended. My home is in the family dormitory behind the commune. You can leave Funiu at my house while you work, and your aunt can help take care of her."
[Ding, trigger the system to select a task.]
[Option 1: Agree to Zhang Aimin and reward him with Master-level culinary proficiency.]
[Option 2: Reject Zhang Aimin and receive the gift of photographic memory.]
[Option 3: Tell Zhang Aimin you need to consider it, and you will be rewarded with 10 small yellow croakers]
The sudden system notification sound made Xu Jianguo's expression brighten up, and he said silently in his heart: "System, long time no see!"
[Ding, host, long time no see, did you miss me? ]
“No!”
[Ding, is your skin itchy again? ]
"It's just a joke, don't be angry, don't be angry!"
Zhang Aimin looked at Xu Jianguo who was suddenly stunned, thinking that he was considering the suggestion he made, so he did not say anything, but waited silently.
"System, I choose two." Xu Jianguo made his choice.
[Ding, selection completed, rewards distributed, do you want to activate your talent skills now?]
"No, we won't open it now." Xu Jianguo quickly refused.
The system fell silent. Xu Jianguo let out a long breath, looked at Zhang Aimin, who was staring at him, and said, "Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
