Although Hou Xuemei is a little nonsense, she is the daughter of Section Chief Hou after all, her uncle is a noble person in Fang Hanmin's life, Section Chief Hou gave the best help he could in the process of Fang Hanmin's conversion and promotion, taking into account these factors, Fang Hanmin didn't want to stimulate Hou Xuemei, he could only lower his posture and keep showing weakness.

In the face of Fang Hanmin's weak posture, even if Hou Xuemei wants to continue to be willful, she can't find a point of focus. I have to say that Fang Hanmin's trick really worked, listening to his words, Hou Xuemei was really silent, but she didn't hang up the phone.

After two or three minutes, just as Fang Hanmin was about to suggest ending the call, Hou Xuemei adjusted her mood and said very calmly: "Fang Hanmin, we have only met briefly once, and we have spoken on the phone twice, you don't know me, this is normal, but only through contact can we understand each other." Let me suggest that we try to date for a while, and after getting to know each other, we can decide whether to continue to get along, isn't that okay? ”

Hou Xuemei's words were very rational and came after calm consideration. But Fang Hanmin is not good at dealing with the opposite sex, he has not completely cleared up the relationship with Xiaofeng in his hometown, and the emotional entanglement with his girlfriend Yu Dongmei has not yet come to fruition, these two things are enough for him to have a headache, plus he has officially taken up the position of technical section chief, and he has a lot of work, how can he have the leisure and energy to contact and understand Hou Xuemei!

"Comrade Xuemei, your words are very reasonable, but I am not worth your time. Instead of spending your energy and time with me, you should look elsewhere and maybe soon have unexpected gains. ”

"I don't agree with you! How can this process be called a waste of time through contact and understanding? ”

"Because after getting to know me, you will find that I have a lot of shortcomings, which will disappoint you very much, and won't it be a waste of your time?"

"I think it's your excuse, since you have a lot of shortcomings, how can the news in the newspaper say you so well?"

"Ouch, how can you read the propaganda in the newspapers? It's not me boasting, I'm more experienced than you in this area. When newspapers want to publicize a person's deeds, they often use a magnifying glass to see his merits and turn a blind eye to his shortcomings. So, I advise you not to read the news in the newspapers. ”

"Tell me, what are your unknown shortcomings?"

In order to let Hou Xuemei retreat, Fang Hanmin took the initiative to pour dirty water on himself and deliberately put it badly, "To sum up, it is not necessarily comprehensive, my shortcomings include not being self-motivated, it is difficult to get along with colleagues, jealousy of the small intestine, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, timidity, lack of responsibility, miser, money as life, etc. In addition, my hometown is in a remote rural area, my parents are old and frail, there are many brothers and sisters, and my family is poor,......"

Before Fang Hanmin could finish speaking, Hou Xuemei interrupted him, "Don't say it!" Fang Hanmin, in order to refuse to associate with me, you deliberately put on a bad show and belittle yourself to this extent, do you think I can't hear it? ”

"I didn't mean to belittle myself, what I said was the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask your uncle, I am a good friend with him who has nothing to say, and he knows everything about me."

"My uncle may know a little bit about the situation in your hometown, but he has only been with you for a few days? Where does he know what your shortcomings are? Besides, you have to be reasonable to lie, if my uncle knows that you have so many shortcomings, it is impossible for a person as upright as him to be good friends with you! Won't help you. "Hou Xuemei is a smart girl in Bingxue, and she easily found a flaw in Fang Hanmin's words.

Seeing that the lies he made up were exposed, Fang Hanmin had to admit embarrassedly: "What I said is a bit watery, but most of them are facts, believe it or not!" ”

"Fang Hanmin, in order to keep me out, you don't hesitate to spoil yourself, this spirit of courage and sacrifice is really admirable!" Hou Xuemei teased.

"Comrade Xuemei, please don't say that, I'm just putting the actual situation out so that you can see my true side, and it's not as complicated as you think."

"Fang Hanmin, don't say it so high-soundingly, isn't your purpose to reject me? Well, I'll leave you alone. Hou Xuemei paused and said sadly: "Looking back now, you didn't intend to accept me from the beginning, but what makes me incomprehensible is that we didn't know each other before, and we didn't have the opportunity to get to know each other, why do you have such a bad impression of me?" Am I ugly? Or did my father offend you at work and asked you to transfer your grudge against him to me? ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Hanmin hurriedly clarified, "Hou Xuemei, please don't guess, you are a good girl, not only sweet in appearance and temperament like Lan, but also smart and lively, kind-hearted, but I feel ashamed of myself and unworthy of you." In addition, Section Chief Hou is my benefactor, he cares a lot about me, how can he offend? It's too late for me to be grateful to Section Chief Hou, so why do I have any grudges? What we talk about, don't have a connection with Section Chief Hou! ”

"Duplicity, all lies! If you think I'm so good, why don't you want to associate with me? Hou Xuemei felt very sad.

"Didn't I say it, I don't think I'm worthy of you, I don't want you to waste your time with me, that's all, there's no other meaning."

Hou Xuemei felt that there was no hope, so she could only reluctantly give up, "Okay, isn't it ridiculous that I'm so wishful?" Well, good luck! ”

After hanging up the phone, Fang Hanmin was relieved. Thank God! finally ended this inexplicable emotional entanglement, although Hou Xuemei was not given any chance from beginning to end, Fang Hanmin felt that it was a little cruel to treat a girl like this, but he thought that he could not be indecisive, otherwise, once he fell into it, the consequences would be unpredictable.

......

The three-day holiday passed in a flash, according to the past practice, after going to work on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the staff of the department was still in a state of festivity, although some people went to work at the point, but signed in to go out to run errands or go home, some people simply asked for leave, did not come to work at all, this situation has to continue until the first month of the 15th Lantern Festival, the work of the department can return to the right track.

In the technical department, after going to work at half past seven, Fang Hanmin went around the office and found that there were no people, so he asked the clerk to notify him and asked all the staff to gather in the conference room at eight o'clock.

At seven fifty, Fang Hanmin was the first to come to the conference room, and then, someone followed up one after another, and at eight o'clock, he looked at the venue and found that only two-thirds of the people who arrived on time were present.

"Now for the meeting." Fang Hanmin paused, waited for the venue to be quiet, and continued: "Before the official meeting, I will ask for a name. ”

Through the roll call, it was found that there were 25 people, but only 17 people actually arrived, and in addition to two people who asked for leave, there were still six people who were late or absent from work.

Fang Hanmin cleared his throat and said a few opening remarks, "The Spring Festival is over, I hope everyone will take back their hearts, today's meeting is a heart-to-heart meeting." Comrades, the new year must have a new atmosphere! Subsequently, he plans to inform his colleagues about this year's work plan and the requirements for everyone.

After just a few minutes of talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and two people came in one after the other, the leader was the old grandson who ran to Fang Hanmin's office some time ago and deliberately made trouble with him, and after the two entered the room, they found a chair and sat down.

Fang Hanmin paused to speak, and he asked, "The two who came in just now, can you explain to us the reason why you are late?" ”

Lao Sun didn't expect Fang Hanmin to care so much about this matter, he said casually: "What is there to explain? Isn't it just being late? Today is the first day of work after the Spring Festival, which year is not like this? Nothing happened on the first day after the holiday, what's wrong with being a little late? Is it necessary to make such a fuss? ”

Lao Sun's attitude made Fang Hanmin a little angry, "Master Sun, you are late, let you explain the reason for being late, how can this be called a fuss?" I don't think that's too much to ask for. It's that you're late, and you're so reasonable, I don't think it's normal! Today is the first day of work after the Spring Festival, and now it's the new year, don't turn over the old yellow calendar before, you have to know that what you can do before may not be allowed in the future,

The rules and regulations that were not there before will be improved in the future, and everyone must be mentally prepared! ”

Lao Sun did not show weakness at all, "Don't beat around the bush, now that you are the head of the technical section, you simply say directly, the previous rules and regulations are unreasonable, and you have to overturn and start over." ”

"Everybody heard, you said it, I didn't say that. Don't think that everyone looks at the problem as either/or, why should the reasonable elements of the previous rules and regulations be overturned? What we need to do in the future is only to make additions and modifications to the previous imperfections. For example, if you are late for no reason, although there were rules and regulations in the past, but you failed to implement them seriously, you will need to strengthen the enforcement in the future and let the rules and regulations be strictly observed. From today onwards, everyone should take the rules and regulations seriously, Master Sun, tell me the reason why you are late. ”

"What, you still have to embarrass me in front of everyone?"

"You're late for work, there has to be a reason, what's so embarrassing about that? You have delayed everyone's time, of course, you should explain the reason clearly in front of everyone, is this too much to ask? Fang Hanmin did not back down in the slightest.

"It's just late, there's no reason to say, let's see what to do." Lao Sun leaned back in the chair, craned his neck, and looked completely fearless.

Fang Hanmin was prepared for such a deliberate provocation, because he knew very well that if he wanted to establish a new style in the technical department and get rid of bad habits, he would encounter huge resistance, but the technical department must have a new look, and he must face it bravely no matter where the resistance comes from.

Looking at Lao Sun's posture of what he could do, Fang Hanmin said awe-inspiringly: "Master Sun, you are late for no reason, but you are not ashamed, but proud, you are a master, an old qualified scientific and technological personnel, you are an example for young people like this?" In that case, I will also give you the truth,

If you explain the reason for being late in front of everyone, you will not be held accountable this time, but you will not be an example. If you insist on going your own way, if you are 40 minutes late today, you must deduct the bonus of the month as required! You look at it. ”

In the years when the monthly salary is only seventy or eighty yuan, no one has a grudge against money, and Lao Sun is of course no exception. After breakfast today, send a relative to the station, come late for work, it's that simple! ”

"Isn't this the end of it?" Fang Hanmin glanced at Lao Sun, "Master Sun, for such a simple reason, there is nothing that cannot be said, you have to go around in a big circle, I think you are a drunkard and not in the bar?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lao Sun said unanswered.

"Okay, I'll tell you. Master Sun, is your ultimate goal to embarrass me in front of all my colleagues in the technical department? ”
