Sun Manrou waved her hands again and again: "No, third brother, it's not good for us to do this! I just want to love Comrade Wen silently. I was so uncomfortable just now that I couldn't help crying. If only I knew him earlier."
Saying that, she covered her face and cried again.
Sun Wuyang's heart was about to cry: "Xiaorou, don't cry, I said I would help you stay together."
Sun Manrou shook her head, and her tears flew out: "I can't let the third brother do this. If someone finds out, the third brother will become the target of thousands of people. How can I bear it?"
"Besides, doing that will definitely hurt the person who feels like home, so let's forget it. I don't plan to get married in this life, as long as I can watch Comrade Wen from a distance, I'll be satisfied."
Sun Wuyang hates iron for not making steel: "Xiaorou, you are good at everything, but you are too kind and timid! I have decided on this matter, you don't have to worry about it, if it is discovered in the future, I will say that it is my own idea. ,Nothing to do with you!"
Sun Manrou bit her lip: "Third brother, why are you so nice to me..."
Sun Wuyang rubbed her head: "Fool, you are my sister, I am not good to you and who am I good to? You don't have to worry about this matter, I will go out and find out now."
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a saying, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
He already knew enough about Wen Rugui's side, all he had to do now was to inquire about Rugui's object.
Only when the other party's news is clear can they discuss the next step.
Sun Manrou watched Sun Wuyang disappear at the door, then raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, then washed her face and returned to the agency.
Tong Xuelu didn't know the plans of the two siblings of the Sun family, she was shopping with Secretary Zhuo at the moment.
Secretary Zhuo showed a shy look on his face: "Manager Tong, can you help me match the clothes, I think whatever clothes you wear look good."
Tong Xuelu felt OS in her heart, "That's because I'm good-looking," and said with a smile: "Of course there's no problem, but Secretary Zhuo is naturally beautiful, so the best I can do is give you an opinion."
Secretary Zhuo blushed even more after being praised, but his eyebrows were raised, which was obviously very useful.
Came to the department store, because today is not a weekend, so there are not many people.
Secretary Zhuo only got a sabbatical today because he has not been on vacation a while ago.
Tong Xuelv has been here for so long, and speaking of it, he has never been to a department store, mainly because he had been too busy before, and later went to work in a restaurant, and every time he came out, he had to ask for leave.
She felt a pain in the flesh if she had to deduct her salary whenever she asked for leave.
Secretary Zhuo is obviously no stranger to department stores. As soon as he enters the door, he pulls Tong Xuelv to the counter that sells cloth and ready-to-wear.
The sales clerk obviously knew Secretary Zhuo as well, and smiled when she saw her: "Secretary Zhuo, you are finally here. There are new styles in the past two days. I'm worried that if you don't come, the clothes will be bought!"
Secretary Zhuo's eyes lit up: "What's new, show it to me quickly!"
The salesperson quickly took out the new model, the pants were khaki flared pants, and the coat was a long coat with a nylon blouse lined with molded cotton.
Secretary Zhuo couldn't put it down when he saw it: "it's so beautiful, Manager Tong, how about I buy this set?"
Not so.
Secretary Zhuo is relatively petite, wearing a long coat, the whole person suddenly becomes shorter, and the flared pants, how to see how hot eyes.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Secretary Zhuo looks good in everything, but I think this style is similar to the one you bought before Secretary Zhuo, and it can't give people a fresh feeling. Why don't you change your style this time?"
Saying that, she asked the salesperson to take out a short jacket and white shirt, as well as a pair of black ladies' suit trousers.
Although the style is still a bit earthy, white and black can never go wrong, and a short coat will not make her figure appear shorter.
Secretary Zhuo looked at the clothes she chose with a hint of hesitation on his face: "I've never matched it like this before..."
Tong Xuelu: "It's just because I haven't matched it before, so I have to try it. At the last meeting, Minister Lin said that we should be active in innovation and not blindly conservative. The clothes are the same. If Secretary Zhuo wears this to work tomorrow , it will definitely be refreshing.”
When Secretary Zhuo heard that it was Minister Lin who said such words, the hesitation in his heart disappeared immediately, and he took out the ticket and money and said, "Okay, I bought it!"
Secretary Zhuo originally only wanted to buy one coat, but now he wants to buy a whole set, and the cloth tickets he brought are not enough.
Without saying a word, Tong Xuelu immediately took out a stack of cloth tickets from the military bag: "I have it here, Secretary Zhuo can use it."
Secretary Zhuo was surprised when she saw that she had brought so many cloth tickets: "Manager Tong, why did you save so many cloth tickets?"
Tong Xuelu: "It's also saved. This is all sent to me by my partner. He works in the scientific research center and usually has more subsidies."
"So that's the case, then I'll take these cloth tickets as borrowed from you, and I'll return them to you later!"
It was the first time that Secretary Zhuo heard her mention her object, and he felt that the distance between the two was getting closer.
Tong Xuelv waved his hand: "what else is there, just use it."
Seeing her so generous, Secretary Zhuo had a better impression of her in his heart.
After buying clothes, the two went to the shoe cabinet to buy shoes.
Tong Xuelu chose a pair of T-buckle women's leather shoes for her.
A pair of leather shoes costs ten yuan, which is considered a luxury item. Tong Xuelu originally wanted to buy a pair, but there was only one pair left in the shoe cabinet, so she gave the shoes to Secretary Zhuo.
Coming out of the department store, Secretary Zhuo held Tong Xuelv's hand with a grateful expression: "Xuelu, thank you very much today."
She noticed just now that Tong Xuelv also liked those shoes, but gave them to her.
This love, she remembered.
"Shall I invite you to dinner at the state-run restaurant?"
Tong Xuelu said with a light smile, "I work in a hotel myself, so why do I need you to pay me? By the way, has Minister Lin been bothered by anything recently? He seemed to be frowning when I went there last time."
Secretary Zhuo pouted: "Minister Lin is worrying about his father-in-law's family."
Oh wow!
She just asked casually, but she didn't expect that there would be gossip.
Tong Xuelu said calmly, "How do you say this?"
Secretary Zhuo was wary of Tong Xuelv before, but after shopping today, she has regarded Tong Xuelv as her best friend.
"It's Minister Lin's wife who wants him to bring his younger brother into the Commerce Department, but the department's position is full of carrots and pits. Even Minister Lin can't do anything about it."
Minister Lin can only transfer posts, but has no right to increase posts.
For example, last time Minister Lin wanted Tong Xuelu to come over and be his secretary. If Tong Xuelu wanted to, it would mean that she and Tong Xuelu exchanged positions.
But she didn't understand the business of the restaurant, so naturally she didn't want to change it, but Tong Xuelv voluntarily refused.
Tong Xuelv nodded: "It turns out that this is the case, then Minister Lin is also very embarrassed. Now many factories and departments are not recruiting workers."
Secretary Zhuo nodded deeply: "There are so many graduates every year, but there are only so many jobs, and it will only become more and more difficult for everyone to find a job in the future."
Tong Xuelu denied her words in her heart, but agreed on the surface.
After the two separated, Tong Xuelv went straight back to the hotel.
Before, she wanted to let Minister Lin open the back door to get her a qualification by giving the profit to the Ministry of Commerce.
But that approach is not the most secure.
After all, the profits from beef balls and fish balls would have to go through the Ministry of Commerce. If Minister Lin wanted profits directly, but didn't mention the competition, she would have no choice.
After listening to Secretary Zhuo just now, she had a new idea.
This time, she asked Minister Lin to personally send her the qualifications.
**
When he got home in the evening, Tong Jiaxin had already done the housework at home.
Before he regretted it, he went on strike for a day in protest.
At that time, she said that she would send him back to Beihe's hometown, which scared the bear child until his face turned white.
Later, he got up to do housework obediently the next day. After these few days of "sparing", the bear boy looked a lot haggard and his face became thinner.
After washing the dishes, Tong Jiaming took Tong Mianmian to study in the study.
Tong Jiaxin awkwardly walked in front of Tong Xuelu, and then awkwardly called her sister.
Tong Xuelu looked up from the plan: "what's the matter? Tell me if you have something to say."
Tong Jiaxin pinched his fingers and kicked his toes on the ground: "Sister, I really know I'm wrong. Just let me go back to school. I promise I'll study hard in the future!"
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why should I trust you, if you can't do it?"
Tong Jiaxin was startled for a moment, his brows furrowed: "I will definitely do it, if I can't do it, you will punish me not to eat meat!"
Tong Xuelu shook his head: "Then it's the same as before. Well, I can let you go back to school, but if you still fail the final exam this time, then go back to Beihe's hometown."
Tong Jiaxin: "… "
Tong Xuelu: "Don't you dare? Didn't you say it with confidence just now? Or did you just say it, planning to trick me into letting you go back to school, and then don't study hard? "
Tong Jiaxin said loudly: "I don't have it, I'm just worried that if I study hard, I still won't be able to pass the exam!"
Tong Xuelu: "Your class teacher said that you are a smart person, but you don't focus on your studies, and if you don't try it, how do you know you can't do it? Only useless people keep making excuses for themselves. !"
Tong Jiaxin was aroused to fight: "Okay, I'll bet with you, if I fail the exam again at the end of the semester, I'll go back to Beihe's hometown!"
Tong Xuelu tore a piece of paper from the book, wrote the bet on it, and asked him to sign his name.
Tong Jiaxin just shouted out with a breath, but now that he has to sign, his heart is pounding.
But there is no turning back. He knew that his sister was serious. If he didn't sign, he might be sent back to Beihe's hometown tomorrow.
Thinking of the people from Beihe's hometown, he couldn't help shivering.
He gritted his teeth hard, picked up the pen and signed his name.
Tong Xuelu expressionlessly folded the "betting contract" and put it in the book: "Okay, the betting contract officially takes effect from this moment, I will go to the school tomorrow to ask the teacher and the principal to let you go back to study, whether you can go back depends on you life."
Tong Jiaxin became more and more uneasy when he heard this.
What if the school doesn't let him go back to study
The head teacher would definitely not speak well to him. After all, he always refused to listen in class, failed exams every time, and cheated last time.
The more Tong Jiaxin thought about it, the more he felt that he was too scumbag, and wanted to slap himself twice.
Tong Xuelv ignored him and continued to make a new plan.
When he went to bed at night, Tong Jiaxin was still thinking about going to school.
He tossed and turned on the bed like spreading pancakes, making Tong Jiaming so noisy that he couldn't sleep.
"What's wrong with you?"
Tong Jiaxin: "Second brother, I may be sent back to Beihe's hometown."
Tong Jiaming turned over to prevent him from seeing the smile at the corner of his mouth: "don't you always want to study? It's also a good choice to go back to your hometown to pick up pig shit. Anyway, you can change your rations."
Tong Jiaxin: "..." Second brother, you don't love me anymore!
Tong Jiaxin still wanted to talk, but Tong Jiaming said he was going to class tomorrow, and then ignored him.
Tong Jiaxin looked at the dark ceiling and raised his hand to secretly wipe away his tears.
He is really a pig, why did he feel that going to school was painful before
In the darkness, Tong Jiaxin regretted the thousand and one.
**
Tong Xuelu naturally wouldn't go to school the next day.
She asked Tong Jiaming to speak to Tong Jiaxin's head teacher, saying that Tong Jiaxin's body had been taken care of, and he could go to class tomorrow.
Tong Jiaming is naturally not without exception.
She had already made the plan last night, but she only met Secretary Zhuo yesterday. She went to the Ministry of Commerce to find Minister Lin today, which was obviously not good.
So she plans to go back in two days.
The beef balls and fish balls were sold out yesterday, and I am going to buy them again today.
Tong Xuelv took Guo Weiping to buy beef.
The beef seller took out a good piece of beef shank and said to Tong Xuelu: "Manager Tong, why haven't you had any new interviews on your honor roll for a long time, can't you find anyone to interview?"
Tong Xuelu saw the beef shank in his hand, and understood in seconds: "It's not that no one can be found, it's just that you can't get up the honor roll by just looking for someone on the street for an interview. I will only interview when I am qualified."
Master Huang was speechless: "It's so complicated? Then don't I have no chance?"
Tong Xuelv held back his smile: "Master Huang is too unconfident in himself, right? After this month's investigation, we think that you, Master Huang, just meet our standards. I was just about to tell Master Huang, what about you? I thought of you and brought it up."
Master Huang thought that he was hopeless. He didn't want to be in the dark, and his heart burst into joy: "Manager Tong, when are you interviewing, I'm free at any time!"
Tong Xuelu said, "Tomorrow, I'll come over tomorrow afternoon."
The wrinkles on Master Huang's face turned into flowers. When he weighed the beef shank for Tong Xuelu, the weight was much heavier than usual for the same price.
Back at the restaurant, several people started making beef balls and fish balls.
At noon, people who ate dinner came one after another.
Mr. Wen used to come to the restaurant a lot, but after hearing Uncle Zong say that he had high blood sugar, Tong Xuelv persuaded him not to come every day, but to come here once in a while.
If someone else said this, Mr. Wen would definitely not listen, but because the person who said it was Tong Xuelu, Mr. Wen suddenly became a very obedient and good student.
The one who got the number one row today was a tall young man.
Tong Xuelu didn't notice him originally, but his eyes seemed to fall on him.
She has always been sensitive to other people's eyes, so when the young man set his eyes on her for the third time, she immediately determined that the other party was looking at her.
But the enemy doesn't move and I don't move. Since the other party doesn't say anything, she won't go forward to ask.
Sun Wuyang came forward with the brand: "I want a Mala Tang, all the vegetables and meat, and I want a spicy one."
Meng Qingqing immediately reported the price: "Eight taels of food stamps and six taels of meat stamps, 73 cents for vegetables, 81 cents for meat and vegetables, a total of 1 yuan and 54 cents."
Sun Wuyang took out the tickets and money, walked in and found a seat.
When Meng Qingqing brought the Mala Tang to him, he showed a smile to Meng Qingqing: "May I ask who was your manager outside just now?"
Meng Qingqing said proudly: "the young one, our manager Tong is not yet nineteen years old this year, but she has already become the manager of our hotel, she is a very remarkable person!"
Sun Wuyang smiled: "It's really amazing."
Tong Xuelu happened to see this scene from the window, and when Meng Qingqing came out, she asked, "What did that guest ask you just now?"
Meng Qingqing answered truthfully.
The other party was not the first person to come to the store to ask about her.
Because she was the first woman to become a restaurant manager, and she was young, people often asked about her.
Tong Xuelu thought for a while and thought that maybe he was too sensitive, so he put the thought behind him and paid no attention to the young man.
The young man did nothing and left after eating.
Sun Wuyang returned to the military compound in the evening, and told Sun Manrou what he had heard in the past few days.
"Rugui's surname is Tong, his name is Tong Xuelu, he is 19 years old this year, and he is the manager of Chengnan Hotel."
Sun Manrou was stunned for a moment: "Hotel manager? Isn't that the cook?"
Sun Wuyang shook his head: "That woman is quite capable. At first she worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and later she took over the position of the master. In less than two months, she became the manager of the restaurant."
Sun Manrou frowned: "Does her family have any background?"
Sun Wuyang sneered: "Damn background! Both her parents died, but her former adoptive parents worked in the unit, but they didn't have any special background, and I heard that their relationship is not very good now."
Sun Manrou: "In this way, it should be the Wen family who helped her become the manager."
Sun Wuyang also thought so: "As long as a woman has a good-looking face, it is the best skill."
Sun Manrou raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "Is that woman very beautiful? How does she compare to me?"
Sun Wuyang smiled and said, "You can't compare with Xiaorou, but she has no parents, no mother, and three younger brothers and sisters who drag oil bottles. How can she compare with our family?"
"Besides, you are still Commander Xiao's god-daughter. You have talent and ability of your own. Comparing her with you, you will look down on her too much!"
Sun Manrou's eyes suddenly turned red: "But Rugui is so good to her, and she doesn't hesitate to use her contacts to help her become the manager. I'm afraid I have no hope."
Sun Wuyang: "How do you say such depressing words, Ru Gui chose her before because he hadn't met you yet. If Ru Gui knew that you were so good, he would definitely reconsider!"
Hearing this, Sun Manrou had a smile on her face.
Sun Wuyang said: "How did you do the interview with Grandpa Wen? I heard that Grandpa Wen likes to eat. You'd better make some food and send it to you."
Sun Manrou frowned: "Where can I cook?"
Sun Wuyang said: "I remembered. I have a friend's grandma who makes dim sum delicious. I asked my friend's grandma to make dim sum. You make it yourself and send it to Grandpa Wen."
Sun Manrou frowned: "Is this bad?"
Sun Wuyang: "What's wrong with this? If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, who will know?"
Sun Manrou frowned and did not agree, but she reluctantly agreed after Sun Wuyang's "force".
The next day, Sun Manrou went to Wen's house with the snacks she had just made.
It happened that Tong Xuelu came to Wen's house, because Mr. Wen said that Xiao Qi had grown up and asked her to take it back and slaughter it to make braised chicken.
Tong Xuelu knew that it was Mr. Wen who wanted to eat it himself, so he came here today to cook a delicious meal for Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong at Wen's house.
Uncle Zong slaughtered the chicken before Tong Xuelu came over: "I was afraid that you would not dare to kill the chicken, so I asked Xiao Wang to kill Xiao Qi for you."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zong, I really don't dare to kill chickens. Uncle Zong took me to the kitchen..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Manrou came over.
Sun Manrou also knew that the Wen family had two chickens named Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, and her eyes suddenly turned red when she heard Uncle Zong's words.
She covered her mouth with an unbelievable look: "Chicken is so cute, how can you eat chicken?"
Tong Xuelu: "..."
