Chapter 301: Inspection with Director Liu
"Secretary Zhao? Anything else?"
Su Xiaoxiao spoke doubtfully. If this person didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to enter the room.
Zhao Weimin came back to his senses and asked her a little embarrassedly after a while: "Um...Comrade Su, do you have a partner?"
Why are you asking this?
Su Xiaoxiao met his gaze in confusion, and seeing that his cheeks were flushed and he looked uncomfortable, she immediately reacted.
No way, does Secretary Zhao also want to introduce her to someone?
Falling in love will only affect the speed at which she makes money, and she doesn't have that idea now.
Thinking of this, she said vaguely: "Yeah."
Zhao Weimin's heart, which had been pounding with excitement just now, suddenly felt like it was poured with a bucket of ice water, and his heart felt cold.
He said with difficulty: "Comrade Su, if there is nothing else, I will leave first..."
As he spoke, he forced a stiff smile at her and turned away.
After Su Xiaoxiao saw everyone leave, she turned around and went into the guesthouse room.
The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy.
She had been sitting in the train for most of the day, feeling sore and achy all over, and couldn't help but miss the high-speed rail.
Unlike the old-fashioned trains nowadays, you can only sit with your back straight, and the seats are hard, making your whole body stiff and sore after the whole ride.
There is no separate bathroom in the guesthouse room, so you have to go out to use the toilet and wash up, which is very inconvenient.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the enamel washbasin from the space resolutely. Although the room was equipped with one, she didn't want to use it.
She really couldn't accept the fact that people were so frugal nowadays that they used the same basin to wash their faces, feet, and even buttocks.
She took a towel, washbasin and other cleaning supplies and quickly went to the public restroom to wash up and go to the toilet.
After tidying up, he changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.
After a tiring day, she basically slept until dawn.
In the morning, Zhao Weimin was sent to pick her up as usual, but his attitude was obviously not as warm as yesterday. Even when talking to her, he always kept a distance of more than one meter.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh. She didn't expect that Secretary Zhao looked young and quite traditional.
After knowing that she had a boyfriend, I have been deliberately keeping a distance from her.
Today she had to follow Director Liu to inspect and guide the department stores. Time was tight, so she was sent to the Municipal Supply Center before seven o'clock.
She knocked on the door and went in as if she knew the place well, and found a middle-aged man standing in Director Liu's office with his back to her.
This person was none other than Wang Aimin, whom I had met yesterday.
Su Xiaoxiao had no good influence on this person, so she greeted him symbolically: "Deputy Director Wang."
Then, she turned to look at Director Liu, and her attitude immediately became much more enthusiastic: "Director Liu, good morning."
Wang Aimin: “…”
This difference in treatment should not be too obvious.
When Director Liu saw Su Xiaoxiao coming, his face was no longer cold and distant as when he was facing Wang Aimin. He smiled like a kind elder.
Tsk, emotional discrimination is contagious.
Wang Aimin was angry but dared not speak out, because one was his immediate superior and the other was his current creditor, and he could not afford to offend either.
"Okay, Deputy Director Wang, there's nothing for you to do here, please leave first."
Director Liu saw that he was still standing there and said coldly.
After everyone left, Director Liu handed a form to Su Xiaoxiao and introduced: "Xiao Su, this is the order of the department stores we will visit in the next two days. Take a look at it first and get a general idea."
Su Xiaoxiao took the form and took a look at it. The handwriting on the paper was vigorous and powerful, and it looked very pleasing to the eye.
Printers were still very rare at that time, and most daily documents were written by hand.
She carefully put the form away and asked Director Liu, "Director, when do we leave?"
Su Xiaoxiao's main task here is to provide training and guidance to the department stores below. She can go home early only if she finishes the work early.
"If you're ready, we can leave now."
Director Liu dialed the internal line, told the other party to prepare the car, and the two of them went out together.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw an army green jeep parked there.
Zhao Weimin had been waiting by the car for a long time. When he saw the two people come out, he hurriedly helped Director Liu open the car door.
By the time he closed the door, Su Xiaoxiao had already climbed into the back seat as if she were familiar with the place.
Zhao Weimin glanced at her through the rearview mirror, looked away somewhat awkwardly, and started the car.
Whenever he saw Comrade Su, he would think of what happened yesterday. Why was he so impatient and asked Comrade Su if he had a girlfriend?
It would be so embarrassing if Comrade Su knew what he was thinking.
These days, Director Liu took Su Xiaoxiao to various department stores for guidance and inspection, and he acted as the driver.
How could he know that Su Xiaoxiao didn't think much about his question yesterday.
It turned out that there were always customers in the department store who liked to ask her if she had a boyfriend, and they were very enthusiastic about being her matchmaker.
Yesterday she subconsciously thought that Zhao Weimin wanted to introduce her to someone.
She never thought that Zhao Weimin was interested in her.
She sat right behind the driver's seat, so Zhao Weimin had to drive with his back straight and his body stiff throughout the whole process.
When he got out of the car, he was about to open the door without looking around, but his eyes accidentally swept across the back seat. It turned out that he was nervous for nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know when she fell asleep, and she was drooling in her sleep.
Feeling that the car seemed to have stopped, Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, met Zhao Weimin's gaze, and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth.
There's no saliva here? Why is Secretary Zhao looking at her with such a complicated look?
The first stop of the training was Haining No. 1 Department Store.
Before reaching the door, Su Xiaoxiao saw from afar General Manager Zhao Fumin waiting at the door with a group of people, looking eager.
The car stopped and a group of people came up to greet us with enthusiasm.
Director Liu and Zhao Weimin got out of the car first. When Su Xiaoxiao got out, they were surrounded by a group of people.
"Is this our instructor this time? He's really young and promising!"
Before Zhao Fumin could introduce himself, some people had already started to flatter Zhao Weimin.
Zhao Weimin had just become Director Liu's secretary, and this was his first time accompanying Director Liu to such an occasion.
No one at the scene knew him except Zhao Fumin.
Seeing that he was a stranger and was following Director Liu, everyone spontaneously took on the role of instructor.
"Yes, yes, the instructor is really a handsome man. Not only is he good-looking, but he is also very capable."
…
A group of people were talking to each other and were very attentive to Zhao Weimin.
Realizing that everyone had mistaken him for the instructor, Zhao Weimin was about to speak with a complicated expression when he heard a muffled thud behind him, as if someone had jumped out of a car.
When everyone heard the voice, they all turned around and saw a young girl meeting their gaze with a confused look on her face.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
What was going on? Why were all these people looking at her?
She was just debating whether to introduce herself first, when a young cadre standing closest to her met her gaze and frowned unhappily.
