Ask for leave again and again

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked Lu Xiaoxiao after Lu Xiaoxiao finished eating a piece of pastry.

"It's quite delicious, but it's a bit sweet for me, so you can take the rest back and eat it."

"That's not good. Thank you, the pastries don't look cheap, so let's eat them together."

"No, you can take it back to eat. I'm not short of food. By the way, is Director Li here?"

"We're already here, what are you looking for Director Li for?"

"Of course I'm asking for leave."

"Why do you ask for leave again? If I remember correctly, this is the third time you have asked for leave this month."

"Yes, this is indeed the third time I have asked for leave, but there is nothing I can do about it. Who told me to take the school's final exam tomorrow? I can't do it without asking for leave."

"I think you are likely to be scolded by Director Li this time."

"He can scold him if he wants. Anyway, I have to take leave tomorrow no matter what."

"Good luck."

"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned and walked towards Li Qianjin's office.

When he came to the door of Li Qianjin's office, he saw Li Qianjin sitting there drinking water, so she reached out and knocked on the door.

After Li Jinjin heard the knock on the door, he raised his head and looked towards the door, and saw Lu Xiaoxiao standing outside the office.

So he asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao, what do you want from me?"

"I do have something to do with Director Li. I don't know if Director Li has time now."

"Yes, come in."

Lu Xiaoxiao heard Li Qianjin's encouragement and walked into the office without saying a word, and then said to Li Qianjin who was sitting in his seat: "Director Li, I want to ask for leave."

"Didn't you just come back from asking for leave? Why do you need to ask for leave again? No, I will not grant you leave this time anyway, otherwise others will have objections."

"Director Li, I also know that it is not good for me to take leave all the time, but I have to go to school to take the final exam tomorrow, so I have to take leave."

Li Qianjin remembered Lu Xiaoxiao's age only after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words. It was because Lu Xiaoxiao's usual style of dealing with things was so sophisticated that he had forgotten Lu Xiaoxiao's age.

But even if Lu Xiaoxiao's reasons were sufficient, he could not give Lu Xiaoxiao any more leave because Lu Xiaoxiao had not come to work for half a month this month.

So he said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Lu Xiaoxiao, I really can't ask for leave for you this time. How about you negotiate with the teachers at the school and let them arrange for you to take the exam at other times."

After listening to Li Jinjin's words, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Li Jinjin was determined not to let her ask for leave, but it was impossible for her to change the exam time.

So she thought for a while and then said to Li Qian: "Director Li, I will personally purchase 10,000 kilograms more grain during the autumn harvest. I don't know if this condition can be exchanged for me taking a day off tomorrow."

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Qianjin asked Lu Xiaoxiao in disbelief after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.

"Of course it's true, I can make a written statement."

"Okay, I'll approve the leave for you, but you have to keep your word." Li Qianjin thought for a while and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Don't worry, Director Li, I always do what I say."

Li Jinjin felt reassured after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, so he took out two pieces of paper from the drawer, and then started writing on the paper.

After he wrote the leave note and receipt, he handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Let's take a look."
