Chapter 111 Du Xiaojing, Repay Yourself
The financial staff behind the desk looked distressed, stood up and tried to explain to Xu Jichang: "Mr. Xu, the practice of our accounting and finance department is that the salary can only be paid in advance after entering the unit for one month."

Xu Jichang raised the corners of his mouth and pointed out the window: "You can postpone the snow until a month later, and I will let her pay for it after a full month."

puff.

Zhu Chen's heart that was hanging in the air was amused by Xu Jichang's words, and the warmth in his heart became even more intense.

The financial staff looked embarrassing, scratched their heads with a wry smile, and wanted to say something more.

This is Xu Jichang speaking again: "You said that the so-called saying that you can only pay in advance after one month is just a convention, not a black and white rule."

"Since that's the case, why bother to stick to it. What's more, the lesbians came all the way from the capital. Could it be possible that they can work for ten or eight days before running away?"

Xu Jichang's words were well-founded, and the finance staff was speechless. They could only swallow the words they had prepared.

The truth is on Xu Jichang's side.It was frighteningly cold after the first snow fell. Comrades from other places will indeed be frozen if they are not prepared in advance and have no money to buy quilts.

What's more, he is still Director Gao's beloved apprentice, so he can't afford to offend him easily.

After a few seconds of hesitation and thinking, the financial staff bent down and reopened the cabinet under the desk, took out a stack of banknotes and vouchers from it, counted the numbers, and then took out a stack and handed it to Zhu Chen: "It's clear, Here are all your wages, food stamps, and cloth stamps for the next three months."

Zhu Chen smiled all over his face, and looked happily at Xu Jichang: "Thank you, Section Chief Xu, if you hadn't won this money for me, I would have been frozen."

"Let me treat you to dinner at noon today."

Section Chief Xu accepted her invitation: "I want to eat beef, so I'm looking for a beef restaurant."

"But you still have to buy your clothes and quilt first."

"I'm not familiar with this place yet, can you take me to buy it?"

"Okay, I was going to help you settle down."

……

The two walked out of the gate of the fertilizer factory and walked towards the county street together.

Winter coats, thick cotton shoes, big quilts...

It was almost noon when Xu Jichang led Zhu Chen to buy the quilts.

Since her dormitory hadn't been allocated yet, Xu Jichang put all these heavy quilts in the guest house where she temporarily stayed, and moved there on the day her dormitory was allocated.

After moving the quilts, Xu Jichang and Zhu Chen went to a beef restaurant on the street for lunch.

After entering the restaurant, Zhu Chen insisted on asking Xu Jichang to order, saying that he wanted to thank him.

Xu Ji saw that her kindness was difficult to refrain from, so he ordered two dishes, and Zhu Chen also ordered two.

After the dishes were served, Zhu Wei offered tea to Xu Jichang and expressed his heartfelt thanks to him: "Chief Xu, thank you for providing me with such a good job, and for helping me so much when I joined the job." busy."

"I just entered the unit today, so it's not easy for others to see that I've drunk, so please allow me to toast you with tea instead of wine."

"You're welcome. Since I invited you in, of course I will help you settle down. Besides, I have something to do later, and it happens that it's not convenient for me to drink."

Xu Jichang said, also holding up the cup full of tea.

After the meal, he had to report the situation of the trip to Director Gao face to face, but he couldn't let Director Gao smell of alcohol.

After toasting, the two began to eat. During the meal, Zhu Chen made side comments, hoping to learn about the situation of the art troupe from him.

These days, state-owned units generally do not easily recruit leaders from the outside world, and are basically promoted from within.

Dongfang Chemical Fertilizer Factory has recruited her from thousands of miles to serve as the head of the art troupe. It must be because of some problems in the troupe.

She can't take office in a daze.

Facing Zhu Chen's question, Xu Jichang thought for a while, organized his language and gave an answer: "On behalf of the factory, I recruited you to be the group leader because our factory's art troupe has just gone through a round of purges."

"And one of the important reasons why I chose to recruit you is that your leader introduced me that you are a person who can unite comrades."

"So the factory expects you to be able to stabilize the hearts of the art troupe in a short period of time."

"Based on this, if you want to talk about your achievements, you must not only maintain the original level of our factory's literary and artistic undertakings, but also strive to make further progress."

Across the table, Zhu Lin felt an epiphany.

Cleaning up these two words seems simple, but when has it not set off a storm within the unit?
The meaning of Xu Jichang's words just now is already obvious enough, that is, his first priority after taking office is to ensure that there will be no troubles within the labor group, so that everyone can train and perform with peace of mind.

"I understand Chief Xu, I will keep what you said just now in my heart."

Zhu Lin filled her and Xu Jichang's cups with tea again, raised the cups and said.

"Okay, I believe in your ability."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank the tea with Zhu Chen.

After eating, the two walked towards the unit. When they passed an empty alley in the middle, Zhu Lin seemed to remember something.

"I haven't returned this coat of yours to you yet."

After speaking, she wanted to take off the coat covering her body.

Xu Jichang pressed Zhu Chen's hand and shook his head: "Put it on first, it will be cold if you take it off."

"When you have time later, you can go to my house and return it to me. It's time to take your luggage away with you."

"Then... okay, I will be disrespectful."

Xu Jichang pressed Zhu Lin's hand just now, and there was a slight rippling in her heart, but she still said it very generously and calmly on the surface.

After entering the unit, Xu Jichang asked Zhu Chen to go to the organization department of the factory, and the organization department sent someone to go with her to the art troupe to announce the appointment.

As for himself, he returned to the factory director's office.

Just like visiting Du Xiaojing's father, Mr. Du, sending a letter of thanks is still suitable for reporting to Director Gao in person.

After learning that he had successfully delivered the thanks, Director Gao relaxed a little: "It's good that everything goes well, at least I have expressed my gratitude to them."

"You've worked hard this trip, and I'll give you a special travel allowance later. Of course, you still can't miss the training class."

"Thank you, Director Gao, for your concern. Although I have asked for leave from the training class during this period, I have been reading all the time."

"Well, that's good. Lu Meng of the Three Kingdoms has been leading troops and fighting abroad for many years, and he still doesn't let go of his papers. You have to have his consciousness."

"The construction of a country is ultimately inseparable from intellectual talents."

"It's Director Gao. After I go back this time, I will definitely study harder."

……

After leaving the factory manager's office, Xu Jichang returned to the office, and soon someone from the accounting department sent him a heavy envelope.

Xu Jichang knew that this was a business trip allowance specially approved by Director Gao, so he accepted it without saying anything.

The people in the Planning and Finance Department are also very knowledgeable, and they don't talk much during the whole process, so as to avoid attracting the attention of others.

Xu Jichang understands that the high probability of growing up in the factory is a business trip allowance for himself according to the highest standard, so the distribution process is so low-key, so that others will not notice it and ask questions about the number.

Speaking of which, Factory Director Gao is quite interesting. If he works for him, he really pays back.

After a while, when it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon, Xu Jichang saw Du Xiaojing enter the office.

Du Xiaojing also noticed Xu Jichang who appeared behind the desk at first glance, and his eyes clearly showed joy.

But in order to avoid others noticing, she suppressed it immediately.

"Hi Section Chief Xu, I'm back from a business trip."

When she came to Xu Jichang's desk, she pretended to be the same as other colleagues and said hello to Xu Jichang.

"When things are done, we will come back soon."

When he said this, Xu Jichang gave Du Xiaojing a wink.

Du Xiaojing's heart skipped a beat: Could it be...

Seeing her shocked expression, Xu Jichang nodded slightly, signaling her to go to work first.

Du Xiaojing then turned around, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and returned to his table.

After a while, Xu Jichang's subordinates and other colleagues arrived one after another in the office and greeted him one after another.

"Section Chief Xu, you are back."

"It's so far to the capital, you have worked hard all the way."

……

After greeting each other with everyone, Xu Jichang picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.

Later, I have to go to Director Qian to clean my face and tell him that I have returned.After all, he is his direct leader, so he still needs to be notified when he comes and goes.

……

After returning from Director Qian, Xu Jichang went around the department's duty post again, and by the time everything was done, it was already time to get off work.

When he returned to the office, Xu Jichang found that all his colleagues had left, and only Du Xiaojing was left sitting on his seat anxiously, holding the top of the chair with his hands, as if he was expecting something.

After seeing him enter the office, Du Xiaojing immediately stood up from the chair: "Jichang, can you tell me..."

Xu Jichang reminded softly: "Shh, walls have ears."

Du Xiaojing quickly shut up and lowered his voice like him: "Excuse me... have you found my dad?"

"I found it. He is currently staying at a farm in northern Hebei Province. He is in good condition and healthy, but he is a little thin."

"I brought some nutritional supplements to him, I believe it can make up for him."

"This, is that so... This is really... really great."

Du Xiaojing listened to what Xu Jichang said without saying a word, and immediately burst into tears.

After more than 2000 days of longing, now it has finally come to fruition.

And it turned out, not bad.

With mixed feelings, Du Xiaojing felt lucky in his heart.

At this moment, she really wanted to ask where her father was.

But when he thought that Xu Jichang had only found out his father's whereabouts through channels, it might not be convenient for him to reveal the location, so he stopped talking.

Because she didn't want to embarrass Xu Jichang.

"Why are you crying? Isn't the situation of the old man very good?"

Xu Jichang looked out the window and said, "It's snowing, let's go back and talk together."

"Um……"

Du Xiaojing wiped his tears and walked out with him.

In the dusk of falling snow, the factory area was extremely quiet, only the sound of two people stepping on the snow and the sound of Du Xiaojing sobbing from time to time remained in the world.

"Don't cry, this brings you good news."

"If you keep crying, you will become a little cat. Besides, don't you want to know what the old man told you?"

"Hmm... I won't cry. Tell me what Dad said."

Du Xiaojing wiped away his tears, bit his lips and said, his nose was a little red, and he didn't know whether he was crying or freezing.

Xu Jichang looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he took out an envelope and handed it to Du Xiaojing: "Here, this is a letter from Mr. Du, you can keep it."

"Take it home and take a look."

Dad wrote to himself?

Du Xiaojing opened his beautiful eyes wide, and quickly took the letter and put it away.

When her eyes met with Xu Jichang's, Xu Jichang clearly saw her eyes flickering, and there seemed to be a thousand words in between.

"Squeak..."

"Squeaky..."

The two walked silently in the snow for a while, and when they left the factory area and entered a small box with no one there, Du Xiaojing stopped.

Xu Jichang was a little puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Du Xiaojing still didn't say a word, just strode forward, opened his arms actively, and hugged Xu Jichang into his arms: "You have helped me so much, I can only thank you with myself."

"You don't reject me."

Is this a promise?

She is really a girl who dares to love and hate.

There is never any ambiguity in what you say or do.

Feeling the temperature of Du Xiaojing's breath in his arms, Xu Jichang sighed in his heart.

"Well, let's go back."

Xu Jichang took her hand and said.

Along the way, the two of them didn't say anything, and silence is worth a thousand words at this moment.

After returning to Xu Jichang's home, the two took off their snow- and mud-covered shoes at the door of the house, took off their snow-stained clothes, and hung them in the house.

When the two took off their coats, Xu Jichang saw that Du Xiaojing was wearing a fiery red tight sweater today, revealing her perfect figure.

After entering the warm room, her face became even more red, looking extraordinarily bright and charming.

After hanging up the coat, she immediately took out the envelope from her father from the pocket of the coat, opened it and read it carefully.

As the reading progressed, her slightly nervous expression gradually eased down.

"I'm going to boil water and take a shower later."

"You finished the meal."

After Du Xiaojing read the letter several times, Xu Jichang arranged for her.

"Okay, cook a few more dishes today to celebrate your return."

Du Xiaojing said after putting away the letter and envelope.

She understood what Xu Jichang meant by taking a bath, so she bowed her head shyly when she spoke.

The two got busy separately, and the water was boiled in a short while, and the sound of pots and pans sounded in the outermost kitchen.

During this period, Xu Ji saw that there was not much firewood left to start the stove, so he chopped some firewood for future use.

After a while, he boiled several thermoses of water, and Du Xiaojing also prepared the meals, and invited him to come in for dinner.

So Xu Jichang closed the stove door, reduced the firepower of the stove, and went into the living room to eat.

As said, the meals Du Xiaojing prepared today are extraordinarily sumptuous, with a total of three meat and three vegetables, which is enough for ordinary people to use for the New Year.

During the meal, Du Xiaojing thought about what would happen with Xu Jichang later, and he didn't talk much, but nervous anticipation and shyness flashed in his eyes from time to time.
