Duan Mingjie followed them with a few foremen and did as they asked if necessary.
At 2:50, Duan Mingcheng was riding a bicycle with two watermelons and teacups hanging in front of him, and three watermelons and two pots of mung bean soup hanging on the seat behind him.
Seeing Duan Mingcheng coming, Duan Mingjie asked everyone to stop.
"Director Zhao, everyone has been busy all day. It's hot today. Let's take a rest. My mother made mung bean soup, but it's not worth it. Let's drink some to relieve the heat."
Zhao Wenjun wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the acceptance personnel behind him. Their clothes were soaked, and they all looked at the watermelon on the bicycle eagerly.
It’s really hard to say no.
"Okay, let's sit down and have something to drink first."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and had a happy face.
Duan Mingjie asked them to go to the nearest teaching building to enjoy the cool air, then picked up the teapot and poured each of them a cup of mung bean soup.
After drinking the sweet mung bean soup, I feel much better.
“So delicious!”
After drinking the mung bean soup, Duan Mingcheng brought a knife to cut the watermelon for everyone.
The first piece was handed to Zhao Wenxi first.
Zhao Wenhui took it and took a bite, narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Duan Mingcheng, "This watermelon must have been frozen in the well."
Duan Mingcheng shivered and said, "Yes, it was iced in the well in Grandma Yue's yard."
After finishing speaking, Duan Mingjie frowned and took a deep look at Duan Mingcheng.
Duan Mingcheng was stunned. Did he say the wrong thing?
Doesn't Zhao Wenxi respect Grandma Yue the most? When it comes to her, Director Zhao can also help the third child to speak up. If something goes wrong with the project, Zhao Wenxi can turn a blind eye.
Zhao Wenxi smiled and said, "The well in my Aunt Yue's house is quite old. There was no pressurized well before. I even went to fetch water for her."
Duan Mingjie raised his lips slightly, "Director Zhao is very filial."
As he said that, he handed the remaining watermelon to others.
Duan Mingcheng was a little at a loss and didn't know what he said wrong.
After eating the watermelon, Zhao Wenhui wiped his mouth, took out a wad of change from his pocket, and handed it to Duan Mingjie.
"I treat everyone to watermelon and mung bean soup. Thanks to your mother, we are not so hot."
Duan Mingcheng frowned and said first, "Director Zhao, this is what we invited you to do. You don't need to pay."
Zhao Wenhui stretched out his index finger and shook it, "Comrade, you can't. As public servants of the people, we cannot accept every drop of money from the masses. This is a matter of principle."
Duan Mingcheng pulled his lips and said, "Director Zhao, this doesn't cost much."
Is it too particular?
Duan Mingjie reached out to take it and smiled at Zhao Wenxi, "Then we took advantage of Director Zhao today and ate so many watermelons in vain."
Zhao Wenxi pointed at him and said, "I'm not giving it to you. Go back to your mother. It must be hard to cook so much mung bean soup."
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Okay, I will definitely convey it."
Several foremen nearby were shocked when they saw it.
Zhao Wenxi, the director of the Education Bureau, really has nothing to say.
Duan Mingjie stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Director Zhao, let's continue the inspection."
Zhao Wenxi: "Eat and drink enough, let's go to work!"
It was after six o'clock in the afternoon that the inspection personnel left.
Zhao Wenxi left for a while, and Duan Mingjie lowered his head and apologized, "Director Zhao, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to bribe you."
Zhao Wenju waved his hand, "We have been working together for so long, and I still don't know who you are. If you want to bribe me, you won't just give me five watermelons and two pots of mung bean soup."
How much are these two things worth? When the No. 17 Middle School was approved, someone gave him five thousand yuan just to get the project.
If Duan Mingjie wanted to bribe him, even ten thousand yuan would not stop him.
I just saw that they were too hot, so I prepared something to relieve the heat.
Duan Mingjie was ashamed, "My second brother was offended just now. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Duan Mingcheng did it for his own good, but he did bad things with good intentions.
Zhao Wenjun laughed, "I can understand your second brother's thoughts. I don't blame him, and you don't need to apologize. The acceptance will be completed tomorrow afternoon, and then the materials will be submitted. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Duan Mingjie: "Thank you."
"You two helped me take good care of Aunt Yue. It's me who should say thank you."
Although Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao are both busy now, they still asked Gu Fulan to deliver three meals a day to Aunt Yue, and would visit her when they were not busy on weekdays.
He still remembers this affection.
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips and said, "Director Zhao, our husband and wife take care of Grandma Yue sincerely. It has nothing to do with you. The main reason is that Yaoyao and Grandma Yue are in love."
Zhao Wenxi laughed loudly.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave first. You must be there at 7:30 tomorrow morning. It's the last day. Don't let your guard down."
Duan Mingjie responded and came down.
As soon as Zhao Wenhui left, Duan Mingcheng and the others came over.
Duan Mingcheng looked at Duan Mingjie with a guilty look, "Third brother, did I say the wrong thing?"
Duan Mingjie sighed, his second brother was here to help him, he couldn't refute him in front of so many people.
"No."
Duan Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Mingjie called everyone together, first talked about the things that needed to be paid attention to tomorrow, and finally said.
"You should keep what I say next in mind. From now on, no matter what happens or encounter any difficulties, you are not allowed to bribe Director Zhao in any form. Once I find out, you will be fired immediately."
Lao Li and the others immediately responded.
"If you have something to talk about, don't talk about my relationship with Director Zhao."
"yes!"
Duan Mingjie stood up and said, "Go back, everyone. Be here before seven o'clock tomorrow and stand guard for the last shift. After the acceptance inspection, I will treat you all to the best restaurant in the capital for dinner!"
Lao Li took the lead in applauding: "Thank you, Boss Duan!"
After everyone left, Duan Mingcheng frowned, "Third brother, did I get you into trouble?"
Duan Mingjie sighed, "Second brother, Director Zhao is a person with a bottom line. If you mention Grandma Yue in front of his subordinates, what do you want Director Zhao to think, and what will others think?"
"Director Zhao will favor us in the future. Others will say that no matter how noble Zhao Wenhui is, why doesn't he still get involved with Director Zheng's son-in-law? If he doesn't favor us, others will say that he is ruthless and unjust. No matter what he does, it will be bad."
Duan Mingcheng pursed his lips, "I..."
"I know you are doing it for my own good, but we shouldn't try to break other people's bottom lines. Director Zhao is fair and impartial. There is nothing wrong with it. For me, it is also a good thing. We don't need to mention anything else."
Duan Mingcheng nodded, "I understand."
Duan Mingjie: "Second brother, you go back first. I will go to the hospital to pick up my wife and check on Chengcai. You don't have to wait for us to eat. Yaoyao and I will eat outside and then go back."
Yaoyao is off work now.
It was already seven o'clock when Duan Mingjie arrived at the hospital, and Lu Yao was accompanying Duan Chengcai in the ward.
I don't know what Duan Chengcai said, which made Lu Yao laugh.
"I'm laughing so hard, but your third brother is really bad, but it's not that exaggerated, hahahahahaha——"
Seeing Duan Mingjie standing silently at the door, Duan Chengcai quickly stopped talking.
Lu Yao was still giggling, and Duan Mingjie asked helplessly and fondly, "Is it so funny?"
"Yes, hahahahaha..."
Suddenly, Lu Yao's eyes froze, she turned around and saw Duan Mingjie, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Husband, when did you come?"
Duan Mingjie: "When you said I was evil."
Lu Yao: "..."
