The canteen of the urban office is on the first and second floors of the comprehensive office building at the back, and the ground floor is a dining place for cadres and employees below the section level.

Lao Mai is the leader of the city, and he eats free lunch in the department-level canteen on the second floor, and the share of dishes is much better than the 5 yuan fast food below the department level.

That situation is just a chance encounter between the two of you look at me, I look at you for such a short time, or Xiao Luo, who has a keen vision, noticed it, so the slender donkey-faced man grinded hard and soaked his head in three days, and invited her to go out to eat delicious snacks on the street, in order to avoid Lao Mai, the only non-working relationship and Yu Mu had spoken.

Lao Mai still felt strange at first, he hadn't seen Yu Mu for a long time at noon at free lunchtime, could it be that he was transferred out by some unit?

As a result, he was eating lunch while talking about work with another city leader, and when he returned to the office a little late, he walked back to the back door of the building halfway down the road, and saw two motorcycles, a man and a woman, driving into the compound of the office and parking in the underground garage.

Only then did Lao Mai understand the intention of the donkey-faced Xiao Luo, it turned out that this thing was an excuse to pull people out to eat delicious food together, and at the same time, it could also avoid accidental contact between Yu Mu and the ordinary male public in the urban organs.

The free lunch for the public below the section level is not as particular as the department-level cuisine, and many little girls in the agency are quickly tired of eating, and they would rather go out and spend money to eat something good, and the slender donkey-faced man Xiao Luo also took advantage of this situation to pull Yu Mu away from the free lunch place where it is easiest to contact the crowd of the agency.

Lao Mai finally understood the truth, shook his head and thought to himself with a wry smile: "Can young people nowadays use such strict guards to make a girl? In today's era when love fast food is prevalent, this kind of stubborn captive party is really rare, and ugly men have never seen such a thing as a beautiful woman." ”

In fact, Lao Mai still had the opportunity to see Yu Mu walking around the office building alone, but this chick always held the documents and materials with her head down, and hurried by without paying attention to anyone, even in the elevator, she always shrank in the corner, and she didn't want to communicate with others at all.

Especially when he saw Lao Mai from afar, he hid to the side, and when he rushed over, he was long gone, which made Lao Mai really wonder.

Always encountering such a dilemma, Lao Mai thought of this careful plan, and he couldn't implement it in a few months.

The time soon came to the middle of July of that year, in the scorching summer season, from the perspective of the annual plan and tasks of the urban area, but it was a day to breathe a sigh of relief, after the time was more than half, the task was more than half of the "double more than half" of the task indicators were completed, the leading cadres in the organs could take a break and arrange for this year's public vacation.

One night, the Jinshi Sect Master Mu Qingzi Lao Dao suddenly came to the villa villa, the headquarters of the sect.

As soon as he arrived, he said to Lao Mai straight to the point: "Senior brother, we have to prepare to go to Kunming to participate in the foundation building medicinal materials share distribution meeting." ”

Lao Mai was surprised and asked, "The medicinal herbs are going to be allocated?"

Mu Qingzi said with certainty: "At the beginning of August." ”

Lao Mai suddenly thought that in the past six months, he hadn't asked the disciples who had been mentioned how they had entered the realm, so he immediately asked, "Senior Brother in charge, so far, have any disciples reached the realm of Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation?"

As soon as he said this, the old man Mu Qingzi danced with his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's really thanks to the virtuous brother Wow, so far, a total of 8 disciples in the late stage of Qi Cultivation Nine Stages Fusion have advanced to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and this time this time the sect can get a lot of medicinal materials." ”

Lao Mai was relieved when he heard this, he was usually a little worried that the guidance at that time was a blind man touching an elephant, and he often wondered in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask how the later disciples who had been instructed entered the realm.

Mu Qingzi turned to ask, "Senior brother, how is your cultivation progress now, and you may advance to the Great Perfection Realm of Foundation Building in the near future?"

Lao Mai shook his head and said, "Now that there is too little spiritual energy in heaven and earth, it is difficult for the true yuan liquid to accumulate in the dantian. ”

Mu Qingzi muttered: "This is also true, it is not possible to reach it quickly, but it is not a matter of taking a long time just by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, foolish brother to see if you can find a recipe that can refine the earth-based Juyuan Dan, make up some medicinal materials and alchemy pills, make up for you, and accelerate the speed of condensation." ”

Lao Mai's current cultivation, the most headache is the speed of the True Yuan condensate, as soon as he heard that he could speed up through the pill, he was overjoyed, and he grabbed Mu Qingzi's old Dao arm mercilessly, and asked anxiously: "Is there really such an elixir?"

Mu Qingzi laughed and said: "Of course there is, this sect also often uses medicinal materials to refine such pills, but they are all used in the Qi refining period, and they are not very effective in the foundation building period, as for the pills that promote the gathering of true yuan during the foundation building period, our sect also makes the gold and wood Juyuan Dan, but because the soil system is easy to absorb the earth aura, the Juyuan Dan is not used much, so the sect has no recipe to pass on to future generations." ”

"I see," Old Mai nodded thoughtfully.

Mu Qingzi then said: "This kind of recipe is not a rare thing, other sects may have it, and during the meeting in Kunming, the foolish brother will ask his fellow Daoists again, and he can barter it." ”

Lao Mai then said happily: "Thank you so much, senior brother." ”

Mu Qingzi said with a smile: "This is what you deserve, this time you have been of great help to the sect, and it is also right for the foolish brother to do some small things for you." ”

The next moment, the two cheap brothers then discussed some details of going to Kunming to participate in the meeting, such as the two of them going together, Lao Mai is already in the half-step Great Perfection realm of the foundation building period, and he is also considered a top figure in the five major cultivation sects in the mainland, standing in front of the famous figures of other sects, the cultivation realm does not lose a point and a half.

There are also 8 disciples who have cultivated the realm of Qi Great Perfection to go with them, including the fourth and fifth disciples, who have also advanced to the Great Perfection, they are going to the venue to test the cultivation of the five major sects together to determine the distribution of medicinal materials, and the fifth disciple Xu Zhongxian also has to act as a mediator coordinator, and Ah Guang also goes to work as a driver.

They plan to drive to Kunming by car, and it is only a day's drive to take the national highway and some expressways.

After Lao Mai returned to the unit, he was thinking about what reason he wanted to take a few days off, according to Mu Qingzi's old way, the share distribution will take time and add back and forth, and it will not take more than a week.

He was thinking about it, when the little girl from the government reception office sent a red-headed document, and when Lao Mai looked at the title of the document, it was the annual decision of the district party committee on leading cadres to take turns to take public vacations.

The article mentions that the leadership level of the department can be divided into two batches for public vacation, the period is one week each in early August and mid-August, and it is not appropriate to hold large-scale meetings and large-scale activities during the centralized public holiday, and said that this is to implement the spirit of the relevant documents of the leading cadres of the municipal party committee and municipal government taking turns to take public vacations.

It seems that the regulations on compulsory public holidays in government agencies and units are like this from the provincial and municipal levels, so Lao Mai thought that this document came at the right time, and if he wanted to fall asleep, he would send a pillow.

Originally, when he was still working in the Municipal Development and Planning Commission, the sick leave he had taken had been used up for 6 days of public leave, and the maximum period of annual public leave for more than 20 years of service was 15 days, excluding holidays, and there were 9 days to take off.

Behind the red-headed document, there is also a uniformly printed leave declaration form for department-level cadres.

Lao Mai took the form without thinking, immediately filled in the application for the first batch of leave, filled in the address of Kunming, Yunnan, and then called the little girl from the reception office to help send it to the government office, and handed it over to Liu District for unified approval.

Lao Mai went out on public leave this time, originally to participate in the five major sects of medicinal materials share distribution meeting, but in the unit to apply for a public holiday, but it was Kunming, giving others the impression that he took the opportunity of the public holiday to go to the Kunming World Expo to open their eyes.

The 1999 World Horticultural Exposition was held in Kunming, Yunnan Province in a timely manner, and the time lasted 184 days from May 1 to October 1 of that year.

Lao Mai found the city's daily newspaper and checked the relevant media reports of the Kunming World Expo, and it was written like this: the theme of the World Expo is "Man and Nature - Towards the 21st Century", which is the first professional World Expo held in China.

In addition, the organizers also arranged a celebration of National Day, a total of more than a dozen countries brought cultural performances with national characteristics, and it is said that by the end of July, the number of domestic and foreign visitors has exceeded 6 million.

After he read it hastily, he thought happily in his heart, what a coincidence, I originally went to open a medicinal herb distribution meeting, but everyone here will think that I made a special trip to ask for a public leave to see the World Expo, and the reason for leaving is seamless, even if someone wants to pick a thorn, there is no way.

In the past few days, in addition to waiting for the district chief to approve the public leave declaration form, he also secretly made some preparations to go to Kunming, and at the same time stepped up the rhythm of practicing various known exercises, this is the first time to meet the famous figures of the major sects of Xiuzhen in the mainland, and he must at least appear in front of them with the strongest cultivation.

At the end of July, District Mayor Liu finally approved the first batch of applications for centralized public leave for middle- and upper-level leading cadres in the government, and Lao Mai's application was not rejected as he wished, although because he was a person outside the party, the main leaders of the government would generally give him a little bit of thin face if conditions permitted.

Lao Mai, who was approved by the first batch of centralized public holidays, immediately took out his mobile phone to call Mu Qingzi to ask the departure time of Mu Qingzi's old road, and after getting an accurate reply, he got off work in the evening, and went downstairs to prepare to drive back to the villa.

After getting off work that afternoon, when I went downstairs to drive Xiao Wuling's car out of the underground garage, I happened to meet Yu Mu and Xiao Luo, a slender donkey-faced man, who were riding their respective motorcycles side by side and slowly drove out.

It seems that I haven't seen Yu Mu's chick for more than a month, and at this time, I suddenly encountered it, but seeing this slender donkey-faced ugly man Xiao Luo, he is still persevering as a resilient follower, and he is like a most caring volunteer.
