259: Don’t leave without saying goodbye
Zhou Ziheng said in a low voice:
"Drink it." His tone was casual, and he became the person who had breakfast with her again.
"Ah?" Yu Xiaoye almost didn't react.
"Drink quickly, aren't you thirsty?"
Yu Xiaoye's eyes widened: How did he know I was thirsty? Could he read my mind?!
Seeing that she was still acting silly, Zhou Ziheng finally turned around and looked at her directly, urging her with a stern face:
"Drink it quickly!"
Yu Xiaoye quickly glanced around and saw that the people around him didn't seem to be paying attention here. Some of them occasionally glanced over here, but they were not staring at him directly.
Yu Xiaoye didn't bother to worry about hygiene or not. He quickly picked up Zhou Ziheng's water bottle, put it to his mouth, tilted his head back and poured it down his stomach.
The warm and sweet water flowed into my mouth and all the way down, like a river pouring into the dry earth, and my thirsty body was finally relieved.
I feel comfortable all over.
She drank half the kettle in one go. When she was almost done, she quickly put the kettle down, wiped the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and said with a sweet smile:
"Thank you, Director!"
A smile appeared on Zhou Ziheng's lips.
The smile was not big, but it reached his eyes, which were full of smiles.
All his expressions today put together were not as good as the slight smile he had at that moment.
Zhou Ziheng turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaoye again. Their eyes met. Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered the scene on the bicycle that day. His face felt a little hot and his expression became unnatural.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Ziheng probably remembered what happened that day. He turned back and asked in a low voice:
"Have you read the letter?"
"I saw—"
"Remember, leaving without saying goodbye is very rude, you——"
Zhou Ziheng was about to ask, "Didn't your mother teach you?", but suddenly he remembered the scene in the Eighth Company that day when he saw Yu Xiaoye's mother chasing and beating people, and swallowed the words back.
I couldn't help but feel curious. How could such a tough and domineering mother give birth to such a well-behaved and lovely daughter?
Yu Xiaoye didn't know what Zhou Ziheng was thinking. She thought Zhou Ziheng was angry with her, so she apologized carefully:
"sorry."
"I don't want you to apologize, I want you to not leave without saying goodbye again!" His tone was very serious, like a warning, but also like a plea.
Yu Xiaoye felt aggrieved: If you hadn't done anything excessive, would I have left without saying goodbye? Isn't it because of you?
But he said it very sweetly:
"Yes, I won't do that again."
Now that things have come to this, Yu Xiaoye remembered the question she had always wanted to ask, and asked boldly:
"Director, did you send Sister Liang here?"
Zhou Ziheng admitted it readily:
"Of course, who else can move her besides me?"
"Why?"
"Why?" Zhou Ziheng said jokingly, "You don't know the performance of your Wufenchang Propaganda Team over the years, do you?"
“——”
Yu Xiaoye heard from Shao Xia about the level of the Wufenchang Propaganda Team. Shao Xia politely described it as a pile of mud that could not be lifted up at all.
——Oh, so that’s the reason.
It was so bad that even the director couldn't stand watching it!
So a cultural troupe was specially sent to rescue them.
However, she felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, so Yu Xiaoye asked uncertainly:
"Is it really because there's something wrong with the Wufenchang publicity team that they asked Sister Liang to come here?"
"What else?" Zhou Ziheng gave Yu Xiaoye a complicated look. "What else do you think the reason is?"
Yu Xiaoye shook her head vigorously, afraid that Zhou Ziheng would see that she was daydreaming:
"No, no, I'm just curious and asking casually."
"Study hard with Sister Liang."
"Yes, I will!"
As the two chatted, they had already forgotten the unpleasantness on the bike, as if it had never happened.
Yu Xiaoye had forgotten the pain after his wound healed. Looking at the upright and kind Director Zhou in front of him, he forgot that he had once called him an LSP.
People are so forgetful.
Especially women.
After Zhou Ziheng and people from the armed forces department of the general farm came to inspect the combat readiness training of the Wufen Farm, Director Sui invited them to stay for a meal.
In order to avoid being accused of extravagance and spending public funds on food and drink, lunch was not eaten in the small private room in the cafeteria, but at Director Sui's home.
Director Sui’s wife personally took care of the arrangements, and the families of several other cadres also came to help.
The lunch was very sumptuous, mostly consisting of ingredients brought from the homes of several cadres, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, and sausages.
The wine is the Beidahuang high-proof liquor brewed by their farm, with an alcohol content of 58%.
The banquet was set up on a large round table in the main hall.
There are more than a dozen cold and hot dishes, filling up the table.
The wine is there, the food is there, and the diners have arrived, but it seems like something is missing.
Director Sui glanced at the all-male crowd and felt that they were still lacking a female comrade who could liven up the atmosphere.
It always feels a little less interesting without the presence of female comrades.
But with the temper, appearance, and drinking capacity of the female cadres in their division, wouldn't it be a bit of a spoiler if they invited them up?
I am afraid that not only will we not be able to have fun, but it will also affect the atmosphere.
Director Sui immediately thought of Yu Xiaoye, who poured tea for them in the morning. He was very impressed by this girl.
The girl's eyes were lively, and she poured water for people all morning without showing any emotion.
There is life in his eyes, but he never interrupts or says a word. He is very smart and well-behaved.
And it seems that the leaders at the headquarters also like this girl very much. Minister Sun of the Armed Forces Department even praised her to her face.
So Director Sui arranged for the leaders to take their seats and asked in a questioning tone:
"Well, the girl who poured us water this morning worked hard all morning. Why don't I call her over to eat with us?"
Zhou Ziheng, who was about to sit down, immediately looked up at Director Sui with a look of admiration.
Manager Sui performed very well and was conscientious and responsible in his work!
A rare good cadre!
The others were also very interested after listening to it.
Minister Sun of the Armed Forces said with a smile:
"Yes, it's not easy for the little girl to stand all morning. Let's call her over to eat together."
Director Sui saw that no one else had any objections and seemed quite happy about it.
Even Director Zhou, who usually had a serious expression, had a gentle expression and did not frown to express his opposition.
Director Sui then went out with peace of mind and called his youngest son over, asking his son to find Cui Xinrong, and then asking Cui Xinrong to call Yu Xiaoye from the propaganda team to come for dinner.
The news reached Cui Xinrong's ears.
If the child responsible for delivering the message was not an honest child, Cui Xinrong almost thought that he was being teased on purpose.
Cui Xinrong grabbed Director Sui's son and questioned him several times, which made the child jump up and down. Only then did Cui Xinrong confirm that this was true!
Cui Xinrong was a little amused and helpless. He didn't dare to delay and immediately went to the propaganda team's dormitory to find Yu Xiaoye.
