"It's okay. We are all just bricks. We can move them wherever we need them. There is no need to care too much about personal honors and disgrace, and the superiors will not turn a blind eye. I have to go to the city bureau later. Let's take some time.
Let’s have a good chat.”
It was not just one person who could not help himself. Lao Zhang nodded silently and walked towards the yard with Li Heng.
Walking in all the way, he said hello and exchanged a few pleasantries with people he hadn't seen just now. It was more than half an hour later when he walked to the director's office on the second floor accompanied by Director Bai and the two deputy directors of the bureau office.
Something happened.
After a few casual words with the two deputy directors, they were sent away, leaving Li Heng and Director Bai alone in the office.
"Director Li, I heard from Bureau Meng that you have another appointment from above?"
Director Bai asked cautiously while pouring water into the teacup.
"That's right, how about it, Lao Bai, I think I'm sure to keep you here this time, right?"
"Bureau Meng said that the news that you were being transferred came quite suddenly from above. They were just planning to report me to the superior today. We still have to go to a meeting. I'm not sure whether he can approve it specifically."
After the department store is upgraded, the bureau no longer has the final say in appointing the director or deputy director. It must be reported to the city government, which requires a meeting to make a decision. The process is cumbersome.
Bureau Meng only received the news yesterday afternoon that Li Heng was transferred this time, and it caught him off guard.
Not to mention Director Meng, Leader Fu was also angry. He got the news not too early. Who would have thought that a small department store director would touch the hearts of so many people.
However, Li Heng thinks that Director Bai's regularization should not be a big problem this time. After all, he has been acting as the director here for more than a month. In addition, the two deputy directors came from outside. If the director still comes from outside,
That is too disrespectful to the directors and deputy directors of the Municipal Bureau.
No matter what you do, you must pay attention to a balance. As long as you are still in this circle, no one can avoid it.
After contacting the bureau on the phone and confirming that Bureau Meng would be fine after 9:30, Li Heng left the director's office with the bag he had brought and started walking around the houses, handing out letters to everyone.
One or two candies brought back from Hong Kong Island.
After driving around for a while, the driver Xiao Cheng drove him to the city bureau.
…
On May 15, 1957, Wednesday, the fifth day after returning from Hong Kong Island, Li Heng officially resigned from the department store.
At this time, it would be one year before he became director here in about twenty days.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Mingxia and Mazi Wang Mingli came to Li Heng's house together after get off work.
"Brother, when will I go through the formalities and resign?"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Heng washing vegetables at the sink, and Mazi started yelling loudly.
When I learned that he was leaving his job a few days ago, Mazi was about to give up his job and said that no matter where he went, he would follow him.
Li Heng, who was washing vegetables, smiled bitterly when he heard his call. Fortunately, he had planned to take this guy with him to Hong Kong Island, otherwise he didn't know what trouble this guy would cause.
The only thing that makes Fang Xiaoya feel a bit pity is that she originally planned to introduce her best friend Feng Xinyi to Mazi. Now, don't think about anything else. But it's a shame that she didn't have time to introduce her before, otherwise she wouldn't have it now.
I know how to explain it.
"You can go through the resignation formalities tomorrow. I've already said hello to Lao Bai. It just so happens that there will be a vacant position once you leave."
His words, "Lao Bai", called Xiao Bai over. He was lying under the eaves and was resting, but suddenly he stood up and ran over. He stood aside and looked at the master with his head tilted, waiting for his next instructions.
"Let's go, I didn't call you."
"Hmm~" Xiaobai snorted, then stumbled back to the eaves and continued to lie down.
"Okay, let's make an agreement then, brother, I will go through the formalities tomorrow."
After receiving a positive answer, Mazi nodded with satisfaction. He was worried that Li Heng would leave him here and run away.
Zhao Mingxia glanced at Mazi with some envy. She also wanted to follow him. Especially after knowing that Li Heng and Fang Xiaoya were going to Hong Kong Island again, her desire to follow became even stronger.
But she didn't know how to say this. Mazi could say that it was because she had a special relationship with Li Heng, a life-long friendship.
What about her? She had only known her for less than a year, so she was embarrassed to ask her for such a request.
"Brother, come and wash with me. Why don't you see your sister-in-law?"
"I went out with my mother-in-law and will be back soon. Sister Mingxia, sit down. Why are you standing there? Why are you so polite?"
"I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help?"
"It's okay. Just let Mazi wash off the dishes you ordered. I've prepared the rest. We'll start dinner when they come back."
There are so many people today, so the simplest meal is probably boiled mutton. It’s not hot yet, so it’s very comfortable to eat hot pot in the yard, neither cold nor hot.
"Sister Mingxia, do you have something to say to me? Every time you see me in the past two days, you seem to be hesitant to speak."
"Uh...you can see it?"
"I'm not blind. Let's talk. While I'm still here, I'll do my best to help you."
"Er Heng, I...I am...I was thinking, can you take me away too?"
Zhao Mingxia was heartbroken and stammered out her thoughts.
!!!
Li Heng thought she wanted to change her employer and quit serving people, but she didn't expect that this was what she wanted.
Mazi, who was washing vegetables, also raised his head after hearing this and looked at Zhao Mingxia with some surprise.
"Follow me? Sister Mingxia, are you right?"
"That's right. I know you were sent to Hong Kong Island by the superiors. I want you to take me there too."
"Sister Mingxia, Huang Mosheng will not live in Hong Kong Island forever. He might have already left."
"I have no intention of looking for him. He has already said everything he said. I won't look for him with shame anymore."
Zhao Mingxia shook her head simply and said that she wanted to go to Hong Kong Island with her, and she really had no intention of finding Huang Mosheng.
After Li Heng saw Huang Mosheng in Hong Kong Island last time, he told him about Zhao Mingxia's current situation. Unexpectedly, he didn't take this woman who had been with him for a long time into his heart at all, and directly told him to let Zhao Mingxia
Just do whatever you want with your love, don't bother him again.
That is to say, he didn't have any position. When Li Heng heard what he said and his expression that he wanted to be beaten, he really wanted to punch Huang Mosheng in the face.
Of course, there is no way for Huang Mosheng to do business in Hong Kong Island in the future. Do you still want to make money? If I don't punish you, if I don't clean your place three times a day, Hengyi Society will be in vain.
