Late.
Yao Cui's family.
Dong Xuebing, Yao Cui, and her family were sitting at the table in the middle of the courtyard. They were chatting and laughing as they ate.
"Xuebing, how is your work?" Yao Cui asked.
"I had just reported for work today, and I am not sure about the situation." Dong Xuebing replied while eating.
Yao Cui looked at Dong Xuebing. "What kind of company is your company? How are the working conditions? "
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied. "It's alright. Anyway, the conditions are tough, and the environment is average."
Yao Cui laughed. "This is the environment here. You will get used to it."
Yao Li's mother looks at Dong Xuebing. "Our Yao Li still has not found a job. This kid is too honest, and no one wants him. Even if they want him to work, it will be manual labor, and we don't want him to do it. Xiao Li had been sick since young, and his health is not good. Don't think he is healthy, and he will fall sick frequently. Xiao Dong, is your company hiring people? If it is, do you think my Xiao Li is qualified? He is already 20 years old, and he does not even have a job. As his mother, I am worried about him. "
Yao Cui's father added. "That's right. Xiao Dong, why don't you help him ask around?"
Yao Cui immediately replied. "Xuebing had just joined the company, and he can't be of any help."
Yao Li replied guiltily. "Dad, Mum, don't worry. I will go and look for a job next week!"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "I will help Xiao Li ask around. Our company might not be suitable, but other places should be fine. We will talk about it later."
Yao Cui's mother was overjoyed. "Thank you so much."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am Yao Cui's classmate for many years. It's a small matter."
Yao Cui's father waved his hand. "Come, Xiao Dong. Let's have a drink!"
Yao Cui rolled her eyes and interrupted them. "Enough! I will fight whoever dares to drink! Both of you had already passed out that day. Why are you still drinking? "
Yao Cui's father replied. "Alright … alright … I will listen to my daughter."
Dong Xuebing remembered the night he drank too much and spent the night in Yao Cui's room. Both of them were sleeping on the same bed, and they even stretched their legs and hands during the night. He should have taken advantage of Yao Cui many times and felt embarrassed. Yao Cui saw Dong Xuebing's face turning red and thought of that incident. She cleared her throat and asked everyone to eat and change the topic.
…
Outside the small courtyard.
Ma Bin and Section Chief Cai arrived.
Ma Bin stood there with a straight face. Section Chief Cai walked over and knocked on the door of the Yao family's courtyard, "Little Yao! Xiao Yao! "
Today, Ma Bin seemed to be competing with Yao Cui. He was the director of the county government office, and Yao Cui was just an ordinary staff member. In Ma Bin's opinion, as long as he said something, Yao Cui should do whatever he said. But Yao Cui did not seem to have any self-awareness. Last time, and the time before that, she did not give him any face. Even when she went out to socialize, she still refused to drink. He had to persuade her several times before she reluctantly drank a glass of wine. With today's incident, Ma Bin was a little annoyed. Plus, he did have some improper thoughts about Yao Cui, so he decided to make Yao Cui drink with him. This time, he was here to teach her a lesson.
In the courtyard.
"Xiao Yao! Are you at home? "
Yao Cui's face turned pale when she heard this voice.
Dong Xuebing asked. "What's wrong? Who is outside? "
Yao Cui replied softly. "It's our Section Chief Cai. Why is she here?"
Yao Cui's mother held her breath. "Then … what should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Yao Cui had no choice but to walk over and open the door. "Section Chief Cai … … Errr … … Chief Ma, you are here too?"
Ma Bin's face changed. "You Xiao Yao! What the hell are you doing?! "
Yao Cui covered her nose and sneezed. "Chief Ma, I am really sick. It's … …"
Ma Bin shouted. "This dinner is very important! This is related to our cooperation with the neighboring County! It's just a small cold. Even if you are sick, you must go! "
Yao Cui explained. "I am afraid I will infect the leaders."
Ma Bin replied impatiently. "Don't make excuses with me! The leaders from the neighboring County will be here soon! Hurry and pack up and come with us! You don't have any sense of the big picture! What the hell are you doing?! "
Yao Cui was furious. "Chief Ma."
Section Chief Cai was standing beside her. "Xiao Yao, hurry and get dressed. We are not letting you drink today. We are only having dinner with the leaders. Hurry up."
Yao Cui's parents were furious. Their daughter was already so sick, and you all still want to bring her along for dinner? What's the meaning of this? However, the old couple knew that these two people were their daughter's immediate superiors. They were the top figures in Zhen Shui County and definitely couldn't afford to offend them. Thus, they could only suppress their anger and look at Yao Cui, waiting for their daughter's reaction.
Especially Yao Li. He clenched his fist and looked like he was about to go up and beat someone up!
Only Dong Xuebing's expression is different from the rest. He is overjoyed to see this scene. Oh, they even came looking for me? Fine!
"What are you all waiting for?" Ma Bin urged.
Section Chief Cai gave Yao Cui a look. "Hurry up!"
Yao Cui gritted her teeth and stood there for a while.
Dong Xuebing knew it was time for him to step in. But he did not say anything. He picked up his glass and knocked it on the table.
Section Chief Cai looked over and thought to himself. Who is that?
Hearing the voice, Ma Bin frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. However, as soon as he looked, his eyes went wide, and he was stunned.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and picked up his chopsticks to eat. He did not even look at them.
Yao Cui's mother panicked. She was afraid Dong Xuebing might offend the local leaders and quickly nudged Dong Xuebing with her leg.
Everyone thought Dong Xuebing's action had angered Ma Bin. But to everyone's surprise, Ma Bin was sweating profusely when he saw Dong Xuebing!
Damn!
Isn't that Mayor Dong?
What's going on? Why is Mayor Dong eating at Yao Cui's house?
Ma Bin was dumbfounded. His back was drenched in cold sweat, drenching him in an instant!
Ma Bin finally understood why Mayor Dong did not give him a good look over the phone earlier. Mayor Dong knew Yao Cui? Mayor Dong had overheard the phone call he made to Yao Cui? That's why he treated me like this??
Shit!
This is bad!
Dong Xuebing did not even look at Ma Bin. Ma Bin also did not dare to go up and greet Dong Xuebing. He pretended not to see Dong Xuebing. If he were to greet Dong Xuebing now, he would be in trouble. Ma Bin immediately tried to salvage the situation!
Yao Cui gritted her teeth and said: "Chief Ma, I … …"
Many people noticed Chief Ma's reaction, but they did not mind.
But what made everyone dumbfounded was that Ma Bin's expression suddenly changed into a gentle one. He smiled at Yao Cui and said, "Little Yao, why didn't you tell me earlier? You're already eating. If you had told me earlier, would I have called you? Alright, since you've eaten it, there's nothing else to do. We're leaving. Take care of your body and remember to take your flu medicine. Don't think a cold is a minor illness, but it absolutely cannot be delayed. Get well as soon as possible. If you can't go to work tomorrow, I'll give you a few more days off. "
Yao Cui was stunned. "I … …"
No one expected Chief Ma to change his tone suddenly.
Section Chief Cai was also stunned and could not react in time!
Ma Bin continued: "It's also my fault. I did not care enough about my comrades. You said you had caught a cold, and I did not think it was a big deal. I did not expect you to be so sick. Sigh … … your biggest weakness is that you are too serious at work and do not take care of your health!"
Yao Cui immediately replied: "I had caught a cold. Thank you for your concern."
Ma Bin said gently, "Then wear more clothes. After eating, quickly rest. Alright, we won't disturb your recovery. Let's go, let's go."
Yao Cui replied: "Then … … Chief Ma, take care."
Ma Bin took one last look at Dong Xuebing's direction and walked quickly towards the entrance. But because he was in a hurry, he tripped at the doorstep and almost fell. Luckily, Section Chief Cai, who was beside Ma Bin, helped him up and prevented him from making a fool of himself in front of everyone. Section Chief Cai was also puzzled. What's wrong with Chief Ma? Why is he so scared? He was still fine when he came over just now. What the hell happened? Why does he look like a different person?
In the courtyard.
After Yao Cui sent Ma Bin and Section Chief Cai out, she returned with a puzzled look on her face. She does not know what happened to Chief Ma suddenly.
Yao Cui's mother quickly asked: "Cui Er, your leader is … …"
Yao Cui smiled: "I also don't know."
Yao Cui's father asked curiously: "He was so fierce just now. Why did he change so suddenly?"
Yao Cui's mother asked worriedly: "Could it be that he really hates you? He pretended that nothing happened, and tomorrow, he will make things difficult for you? Or maybe he had sent you away? "
Yao Cui's face changed: "Really?"
Yao Cui's mother said: "But he can't change his attitude so quickly."
Yao Cui's father's face also changed: "The County Government Office is considered a good department. If you are sent to a small town, you will not be able to endure the hardship there. Our Zhen Shui County might be poor, but our family had been living in the County. At least, it is much better than a small town! That place is the worst! "
Yao Cui smiled helplessly: "Why am I feeling so uneasy?"
Yao Cui's father said angrily: "Anyway, you better be careful tomorrow. These County leaders have many tricks up their sleeves. It will be as easy as playing with you."
Dong Xuebing confidently replied: "I will not."
Of course not. Since Dong Xuebing was around, Ma Bin does not have the guts to do that!
