Secretary Li listened to Xu Erlong's resounding answer and nodded with satisfaction.
Comrade Xu Erlong has a very high level of ideological consciousness.
The group finally finished their inspection, and Secretary Li led them back.
Xu Erlong turned around and signaled to the staff of the department store to just do whatever they were supposed to do and continue to work hard at their jobs. But they could not disappoint Secretary Li's instructions and they must be on duty during the Spring Festival.
Zhang Xinhua looked at Xu Erlong with envy.
As expected, the second brother is the second brother. Faced with any situation, he is so calm and calm.
At this moment, Secretary Li's secretary turned around, walked quickly towards Xu Erlong, and whispered to Xu Erlong: "Comrade Xu Erlong, Secretary Li invites you to eat dumplings at his house in the evening."
Oh, Secretary Li invites you to eat dumplings at his house, is this private?
This surprised and surprised Xu Erlong.
"I know, I will definitely arrive on time." Xu Erlong said to Secretary Li's secretary.
Zhang Xinhua is only a few steps away.
Even though the secretary whispered this to Xu Erlong, Zhang Xinhua still had no idea what he was talking about.
At this moment, Zhang Xinhua was extremely envious.
Sure enough, he was so outstanding that even the leaders above him were impressed by him and even took the initiative to invite him to his home for dinner.
****
In the afternoon, Xu Erlong began to prepare for the dumpling feast in the evening.
When you go to Secretary Li's house for dinner, you can't go empty-handed.
And the New Year gifts I prepared for them felt too ordinary to be given away.
What exactly is this gift?
It doesn't look too casual and ordinary, nor does it look too expensive to be suspected of bribery.
"I think the leather bags made by Jin Xiu are pretty good. Why don't you ask Jin Xiu if there are any other leather bags like this? Can you send me a leather bag?" Wen Ye suggested.
This is a good idea.
The leather bags made by Jinxiu are equivalent to hand-made customization. You will never find the same one again in this world.
Besides, these are all made from scraps of old leather shoes. When the time comes, no one will be able to find fault with them, and they won’t be known as bribes.
"Okay, I'll go ask." Xu Erlong got on his motorcycle and rushed to the leather shoe factory.
What a coincidence, Jin Xiu happened to make a leather bag suitable for men.
The small bags she made in the past were purely for fun.
But this one was originally planned to be made as a gift to Xu Erlong as a thank you gift.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong now needs to give it away.
"Take a look, is this one suitable?" Jin Xiu showed it to Xu Erlong.
"Appropriate, very appropriate." Xu Erlong agreed repeatedly.
The craftsmanship is exquisite and the aesthetics are online. For Secretary Li to carry such a leather bag, it is really low-key, luxurious and connotative.
"Sister Jin Xiu, thank you, I'll take it first." Xu Erlong took the leather bag and left from the leather shoe factory on a motorcycle.
This scene was seen by the gangsters from the vegetable team next to him.
It's just that the motorcycle made too much noise, which attracted extra attention. In addition, the scoundrel was paying attention, so he naturally paid attention to it.
"Bah, how shameless." The scoundrel spat: "No wonder that damn woman is almost thirty years old and still hasn't married. No wonder this Xu Erlong is so protective of her. She has an affair."
If Jin Xiu heard this, he would really want to slap him in the face.
This person's own thoughts are dirty, and everyone he sees is dirty.
Xu Erlong took his leather bag and went home. Wen Ye was at home and also prepared some other regular souvenirs, including two cans of canned fruit and two cans of tea.
Zhang Jinfang was struggling with a pair of sleeves.
She did this herself.
"Erlong, why don't you put on these sleeves too? I made them myself. I was just thinking, Secretary Li has to work every day, right? These sleeves rub against the desk, wearing them
A sleeve is better," Zhang Jinfang said.
"Okay." Xu Erlong replied.
Anyway, gift-giving is a matter of intention, how much is a matter of affection, and whether the size is a matter of intention.
Before going out, Xu Erlong took care of his image in the mirror again and made sure that there was no problem before he was ready to go out.
Wen Ye smiled and followed him out.
Xu Erlong turned around and glanced at Wen Ye.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ye asked him: "What happened?"
"Nothing." Xu Erlong said.
He suddenly thought that when he went out, he always knew to pay attention to his image, but Wen Ye, in order to avoid some trouble, deliberately looked ugly.
How can this work?
He only hoped that Wen Ye could stand openly in the sun without having to hide so deliberately.
How about giving Wen Ye a female bodyguard?
Xu Erlong thought so.
Riding a motorcycle, Xu Erlong arrived at the location ten minutes early.
After a while, the secretary walked over quickly: "You must have been waiting for a long time."
"No, no." Xu Erlong said politely: "We have just arrived."
The secretary led Xu Erlong and his wife towards the agency compound.
The current government compound has guards at the entrance, and there are huge banyan trees inside, which make it look very majestic.
It was not until a few years later that the institutions here were relocated and the place that once symbolized solemnity was converted into a hotel or something, that the public no longer felt any distance from it.
Led by the secretary, Xu Erlong and his wife came to Secretary Li's house.
Secretary Li's home is a standard two-bedroom and one-living room, which is standard for leading cadres these days.
"Secretary Li, Comrade Xu Erlong is here." the secretary reminded.
Secretary Li rolled up his sleeves and came out of the kitchen, his hands still stained with flour.
"Please take a seat, please take a seat." Secretary Li said with a smile.
Another middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen, her sleeves rolled up, her hands also covered in flour.
Secretary Li introduced the book: "This is my lover, Wang Xiulian."
Xu Erlong and Wen Ye looked at Wang Xiulian and called Aunt Wang politely.
"You're welcome, please sit down, my hands are stained with these..." Wang Xiulian said with a smile.
The secretary helped make tea, and Secretary Li also went to the kitchen, washed the flour on his hands and stood over: "My wife is from the north, and she just likes a dumpling. She is very good at it. I invite you to come over and try it today."
Xu Erlong and Wen Ye were both flattered by these words.
No matter how good or bad they are, they want Secretary Li’s lover to make dumplings for them.
"Secretary Li, this is a little thought." Xu Erlong handed over the net bag he was holding.
The gifts in this net bag can be seen clearly at a glance. They are just canned fruits and tea leaves from Xunsi, so they are not illegal.
Secretary Li smiled and said: "Come just come, why are you being so polite?"
But he still smiled and accepted the things.
Xu Erlong handed over the leather bag again: "This is the worker of our Shuanglong Leather Shoe Factory. They used scraps to sew such a leather bag, which is quite sturdy for holding things."
He regretted a little, not knowing that Secretary Li's lover was here.
Otherwise, I have to bring over the leather bag from home and give it to Secretary Li and his wife, one for each of them.
"Look at you, that's so polite." Secretary Li put the bag away.
