The next morning, Chen Mingyu returned to work.

Originally, after Chen Mingyu was clearly appointed as the deputy mayor, he should have called the staff in charge of his department to a meeting, but Chen Mingyu did not do it immediately, and before this meeting, he had to wait for Zhang Lingfang, the director of the social affairs office, to report to him first.

In fact, Chen Mingyu is not a person who is bound by form, but he has just taken office as the deputy mayor, and it is a basic rule for the director of his subordinate department to come and report to him, even if the director of the department does not say any problems at work, just come to his office to sit and chat, which is also a respect for him as a direct leader.

Yesterday afternoon, Du Shiqi, the head of the highway station, did a very good job. But Zhang Lingfang didn't come over, which is disrespectful to him. Considering that Zhang Lingfang had clearly said that he did not trust him outside, then Zhang Lingfang's doing this could also be regarded as a disadvantage to him.

Chen Mingyu wants to carry out the work he is in charge of, the most important thing is to manage people well, if the people below don't listen to his own greetings at all, then how can they carry out their work?

Now, he gave Zhang Lingfang a chance, if Zhang Lingfang didn't know how to grasp it, then don't blame him for being polite.

A whole morning passed, and Zhang Lingfang still did not come to report to him.

At noon, Chen Mingyu did not go home and ate in the town government canteen.

Chen Mingyu has eaten in the town government canteen many times, but today is obviously a little different from before, whether it is the colleagues he met or the service staff in the canteen, his attitude towards him is much more cordial than before. Moreover, after he had dinner, he was immediately invited to a table by another deputy mayor, Dong Xihua, which had never happened before.

People in officialdom are so realistic, once the identity is different, then nothing is different.

In the afternoon, Chen Mingyu continued to read documents in the office, and at about half past four, the door of his office was knocked again, Chen Mingyu looked at the time, and thought that if the person who came over was Zhang Lingfang, then even if he seized the opportunity, but if he didn't come again, the opportunity would not wait for him.

"Please come in!" Chen Mingyu said loudly.

The door was pushed open, and a girl walked in, it turned out to be Cao Man, who grew up with her and was a childhood sweetheart!

Last year, Chen Mingyu had a second kiss with Cao Man under his father's arrangement, and he was already in a relationship with Tang Xinyue at that time, so he was neither willing to betray Tang Xinyue nor hurt Cao Man, so he told Cao Man the truth.

Soon after, Cao Man was sent by the school as the backbone of the school to a middle school in Linxian County for a six-month exchange study, and since then, they have hardly seen each other.

Therefore, seeing Cao Man coming suddenly today, Chen Mingyu was still a little embarrassed.

Today, Cao Man is wearing a white shirt, a pair of light blue jeans, a pair of white canvas shoes on his feet, and a schoolbag, which is simply youthful!

"Brother Mingyu!" Cao Man screamed sweetly, standing there, looking slim!

"Xiao Man!" Chen Mingyu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "What a rare guest, sit down!" Sit down! ”

Cao Man sat down on a chair, Chen Mingyu poured Cao Man a cup of tea, and asked, "Are you done studying?" When did you come back? ”

Cao Man said with a smile: "I've finished studying, and when I got home this morning, I heard that you are now the deputy mayor, so I came to pay my respects to the big leader." ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "Okay, don't tease me, it's just a little deputy mayor, what kind of big leader!" ”

Cao Man said: "Deputy section-level cadres, not a big leader? The principal of our school is only a unit-level cadre! ”

Chen Mingyu smiled, changed the topic, and asked, "When you came back from this exchange, are you still teaching in your school?" ”

"Yes, still teaching at our school." Cao Man said, "Our school has trained me, if I am transferred, it will be too sorry." ”

"Hehe, it seems that it is really wise for your school to recommend going out for exchange and study." Chen Mingyu said with a smile.

"Brother Mingyu, aren't you already the deputy mayor, why are you still working at the police station?" Cao Man asked curiously, "I went to the government office to look for you just now, and they said you were here at the police station, and I came here again." ”

"I'm just the deputy mayor of the town, and I'm also the director of the police station." Chen Mingyu explained.

"Ah, you wear two hats, amazing! Terrible! Cao Man complimented.

"Xiaoman, I found out that you came here to praise me today, right?" Chen Mingyu said with a smile.

"You've only been working for less than a year, and you're already the head of the police station, and you've also been appointed as the deputy mayor, so powerful, shouldn't you praise you? However, praising you today is only one aspect, I am mainly here to visit you today, and at the same time let you invite me to dinner! Cao Man said.

"Okay, no problem, I'll treat you to dinner tonight! Do you say the place, the town, or the city? ”

"So generous?"

"Of course, you're my old classmate, and it's not right to treat you to a meal! What's more, you still said so many words of praise to me, I should have invited you to dinner. Chen Mingyu said.

"It turns out that boasting people still has this kind of benefit! It seems that if I want to come here to eat with you in the future, then I don't have to bring anything, just a mouth, and it will be enough to come and praise you a few words, right? Cao Man joked.

"Haha, absolutely no problem." Chen Mingyu said with a smile.

Cao Man opened his backpack, put an unopened radio on the table, and said: "After our exchange and study, the school organized us to go to the provincial capital, I bought this radio and gave it to you, so that you can listen to the radio after work, learn more about social events, and hope to bring some help to your work." Open it up and see if you like it or not. ”

Chen Mingyu's heart immediately swelled with emotion, this year, a radio is not cheap, not to mention one or two hundred yuan, Cao Man's salary is estimated to be more than 100 yuan a month, and this radio will almost cost her a month's salary.

However, what moved Chen Mingyu more than this radio was Cao Man's thoughts, she went to the provincial capital, and even wanted to bring him a gift, but there was no special relationship between them, and even the last time they went on a blind date, his performance even embarrassed Cao Man.

"Xiaoman, this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." Chen Mingyu said.

"It's just a radio, what a valuable gift. I bought it to give it to you, and if you don't accept it, then I won't be able to handle it. Cao Man smiled, "I have the impression that this should be the first time I have given you a gift, if you don't accept it, it will be too faceless, right?" ”

When Chen Mingyu heard her say this, he was embarrassed not to accept it, so he said, "Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you, Xiaoman." ”

Cao Man looked very happy and said: "Why are you so polite, when I have time in the future, I will come to you to listen to the radio, don't bother me." ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "You are welcome to come here at any time to play." There is an old saying that comes well, come and don't be rude. You have given such a valuable gift, and I will give you a gift too, and you can't afford not to accept it. ”

Cao Man asked curiously, "What kind of gift?" ”

Chen Mingyu opened the drawer, opened the envelope that Liang Yong gave him last night, took out an internal coupon for air conditioning, handed it to Cao Man, and said, "Oh, give it to you." ”

Cao Man looked at it and immediately shouted: "The air conditioner inside the county department store!" ”

She knows that the price of an air conditioner now is three or four thousand, but this air conditioner internal coupon can be purchased at a minimum price of five or six discounts, that is to say, the purchase of an air conditioner with this internal coupon is more than 1,000 cheaper than the market price!

So, she immediately put the internal coupon on the table and said repeatedly: "No, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!" ”

Chen Mingyu said with a smile: "What's so valuable about this, it's just an internal coupon, and it's not a free air conditioner." ”

Cao Man said: "Isn't this precious? Even if you don't buy an air conditioner, you can sell it for hundreds of dollars! ”

Chen Mingyu said: "To tell you the truth, I didn't buy this internal coupon, it was given to me by someone else, and I was given two copies." Originally, I also wanted to give two internal coupons to my parents and one to Mr. Cao. It's going to get hot soon, and installing an air conditioner on them can also make them happy. So, this internal coupon, I just gave it to Mr. Cao through your hand, you can accept it quickly. ”

Cao Man still said: "No, this thing is too valuable, and my father will definitely not accept it." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "Mr. Cao is so good to me, he treats me as his own son, what can I do if I give him an air conditioner internal coupon?" If you don't, then I won't be able to take your radio. However, I still want to give this air conditioner to Mr. Cao, and I want to buy it in full and give it to Mr. Cao. ”

In fact, Chen Mingyu really wanted to buy an air conditioner and give it to Cao Man's father, but an air conditioner costs thousands of yuan, if he directly gave the air conditioner to Cao Man's father, maybe her father would not accept it, after all, this thing is too valuable, in addition, if others know that he actually bought an air conditioner to give away, it will also have a very negative impact on his work.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to give this air conditioner internal coupon to Cao Man and let her buy an air conditioner. Of course, if she feels extravagant and doesn't want to buy an air conditioner, then it's okay to sell this internal coupon to subsidize the family.

What Chen Mingyu didn't know was that some time ago, Cao Man also discussed with his brother Cao Cheng to buy an air conditioner for his parents this summer, because Huayang's summer is particularly hot, because her father has an old problem with asthma, and he also has night sweats.

However, an air conditioner is cheaper for thousands of yuan, which is too expensive, so the two brothers and sisters decided to exchange money to buy an air conditioner for their parents.

However, the salaries of both of them are not high, and even if they buy air conditioners with money, the pressure is quite high.

Now, Chen Mingyu suddenly gave her such an internal coupon for air conditioning, if she used this internal coupon to buy it, it would be a lot cheaper, which greatly relieved the pressure on their brother and sister.

"Brother Mingyu, in fact, my brother and I are really thinking about buying an air conditioner for my dad. As you may know, he has an old problem with asthma, which gets worse especially in the summer, so ......"

"Haha, isn't that just right! Xiaoman, our two families are actually like a family, what else can you and me be polite to? Hurry up and put this coupon away! Otherwise, I'd be so upset! Chen Mingyu said.

"Okay!" Cao Man finally picked up the internal coupon and said very sincerely, "Brother Mingyu, thank you!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "What's polite!" It's almost time, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you to dinner in the evening! ”

Cao Man said: "No, I must invite you to dinner tonight!" I came to work in Shuangmiao earlier than you, and after you came, I haven't picked you up yet! Tonight, I'll just pick you up! ”

Chen Mingyu knew that Cao Man had accepted his internal coupon, and he couldn't help it, if she invited herself to a meal, she might feel a lot more comfortable, so he smiled: "Okay then!" ”
