Chapter 773: Outside of Work (I)
"Five!"
Locke raised his right hand, five forehead fingers like small radishes moved back and forth in a dexterous and orderly manner, and the head chef looked at Locke with an embarrassed face.
"Boss, Mistress Michelle is not here, it's not good for you to be like this!"
Locke held his big belly, tilted his head and shook his head in a good mood, patted his stomach and smiled and pointed to the fresh meat steak next to him, and licked his mouth.
On weekdays, when Michelle is there, it would be good to eat a piece, most of the lunch he eats with Michelle, no matter where he goes, Michelle follows like a shadow, but today Michelle is not there, Locke Jiahui's hunger and thirst have completely exploded.
"Oh, Michelle will be back tomorrow, I don't have anything to eat, let me eat enough today."
Locke said, the head chef reluctantly asked a few chefs next to him to start to feed the fresh steak, Locke sat directly in front of the table, took a set of knives and forks, tied a napkin and planned to eat.
Today, the whole canteen is hot, and many people start drinking in the morning, and Locke doesn't blame them, as long as it doesn't affect their work, it's no problem at all.
"I said a few of you, drink less, don't stay asleep and not get up, there are a lot of things today, if your secretary general comes back tomorrow, I don't care if the work is not done."
"Alright boss, we know."
Several directors and room directors gathered together, specially asked the chef to add food, and began to drink, and many people from other departments who came to deal with things also got a little wine to drink, and it was absolutely impossible to drink in such a broad daylight on weekdays.
But at this time, Locke was more worried about the problems in the family of his friend Charles, who grew up together, although Michelle was taken back by Jean, but he only said that the problems of the Alboran family were postponed, and did not let go, and said that he would go to Nia in person, just tonight, Locke felt shudder at the thought of the two who had some friction in the past.
In the past, when Michelle was the secretary of the 5th section, the desire to become the head of the 5th section was very strong, who knew that Niya was on the doorstep and became Michelle's boss, although it was only half a year, but Locke quickly transferred Michelle to the general affairs department and officially became the secretary general.
Locke's deepest impression is that in the cafeteria of the General Affairs Section, because of something, Nia and Michelle did it directly.
Nia's temper is almost the same as Jean's, and if words can't be solved, it is most practical to use force, and Michelle does not show weakness in the slightest.
At this time, the noise has become one, the men and women of the staff are mixed together, everyone seems to be having a banquet, at the door, a laughing little girl in a light red T-shirt ran in, followed by a beautiful woman, many people looked at it with some surprise, Yu Wanrou and Luo Ziyun, these two people who would not step into the general affairs department for a year and a half, actually came over.
Luo Ziyun made a shushing gesture to the surroundings, and walked towards her father very mischievously, this little girl used to come to the General Affairs Department often, and many staff members knew each other, Wu Lei leaned aside slightly drunk, and shook his head helplessly, in the impression that Luo Jiahui had not been home for more than half a month.
Locke, who was in a good mood, hummed a little song, knives and forks touched rhythmically from time to time, and a pair of slender hands covered Locke's eyes.
"Who, don't make trouble!"
But immediately Locke realized something, turned around with a smile on his face and stood up with a smile on his daughter, and when he saw his wife, Locke's eyes flashed to the side.
"We haven't eaten yet, fat man."
Yu Wanrou sat directly to the side, looked at the five major meat chops that were being fried, and twisted Locke's ears.
"How many times have I told you, if it weren't for Michelle's kid calling me, I wouldn't know if Michelle wasn't here today."
Locke smiled a little awkwardly.
This kind of thing has to be reported to me!
"Dad, if you continue to eat like this, it will be bad for your health, I want to get your permission to come today, I want to take the exam of the Department of Conduct!"
Locke immediately blinked, shook his head with a smile, and hugged his daughter next to him.
"Oh daughter, look at the uncles and aunts behind you, do you know why they are so jubilant?"
Luo Ziyun pouted.
"I'm going to take the exam for the Acting Division."
"It's a stressful job, it's not for you, and it's ......."
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to dissuade me."
Xingyuan walked in from outside and sat down quickly.
"I didn't eat either."
After a while, Locke Jiahui looked at a lot of meat chops with greedy eyes, but he could only take the three of them upstairs.
"Husband, are you almost time to retire? How old are you, Michelle's kid is doing well, just hand over the general affairs department to her, or are you afraid that she won't do well? ”
Luo Jiahui sat awkwardly on the sofa, Xingyuan and Luo Ziyun were making tea.
"Yes, Dad, you hurry up and step down, and then I pass the exam, enter the affairs department, and then quickly transfer to the general affairs department, and then spend more time with Sister Michelle, and when Sister Michelle is old, I will be the head of the general affairs department."
"It's really a good progress! Xiao Yun. ”
Xingyuan smiled, and Luo Ziyun immediately grimaced at him.
"Uncle Xingyuan, you underestimate me?"
Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead, Yu Wanrou sat aside, in the past few years, the mother and daughter have always told themselves about retirement from time to time, Locke Jiahui could have retired a long time ago, but he has not retired, if it is not clear that many of Locke's past staff members now seem to be just a very good fat man, he likes to eat, and he feels that the General Affairs Department has always been maintained by Michelle.
"There's no way around it now."
Locke muttered in a dull voice, and Xingyuan seemed to see something.
"Fat brother, can you tell me the specific reason? I think if you step down, for today's ......."
Locke held up a hand and shook his head, thinking of the animals and plants made of biological matter that Noah had taken him to see before, and he felt that he could never step down from this position.
"I can't tell you about this matter, it's the top secret of Bright City, let's say that you are here for the Alberon family today!"
Locke Jiahui immediately understood the meaning of the three of them, Yu Wanrou's family and the Abolun family are world friends, Xingyuan had the support of the Ebolon family when he published books before, and his daughter Luo Ziyun and Mi Luer had a very good relationship.
"It's not something I can decide."
Locke sighed, and Yu Wanrou pulled Locke's hand.
"Why don't you talk to that girl?"
"It's already been said."
Locke could roughly guess that the mother and daughter should have been to Ebelen's house with Xingyuan this morning, after all, at the banquet of Angus's family last night, the people of Ebelun's family came, and he was just doing his best, and he briefly mentioned it to Nia at last night's meeting, and the handling of Eberlen's family has not been reported so far, and the confiscated goods are still in a state of seizure.
Charles's purpose was clear, he could pay the tax and a certain amount of fine at the normal market value, but he must not label the seizures as illegal.
"Dad, I heard that the Alboron family has helped you a lot before, since Sister Michelle is unwilling to intervene, can't you be a peacemaker?"
"Xiao Yun, what I can do has been done, you don't know Nia's temper, there is no other way to do this except Michelle herself."
At this time, Xingyuan laughed.
"Actually, the purpose of my coming here is not only this, I want to ask, about the vacation location of the secretaries of the 6th, 7th, and 8th sections, did you set it by the fat brother?"
Locke shook his head.
"Michelle made it."
Xingyuan was a little surprised, and the three of them all looked at him suspiciously, and then Xingyuan took out some fine tobacco from Locke's cabinet, took out a pipe, and he laughed happily after a while.
"Maybe Michelle will do something you didn't expect, the Phoebus."
Locke patted his head and immediately understood.
"I see, I'm really old!"
"I should be too tired, Dad, this kind of question is very simple!"
Luo Ziyun said, and Yu Wanrou laughed.
"What a hard-hearted girl, it is true that the decline of the Phoebus family is inseparable from the decision-making of Congress, and now it is also appropriate to repay them a little something."
Locke nodded, but seemed to think of something.
"It's Jean's bastard, who used to talk about the Phoebus family from time to time."
.......
At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, on a back street located north of the main entrance of the General Affairs Division, there was a long queue outside a cake shop called Rainbow.
"Mitchell, are you an idiot? 3 minutes is 3 minutes, 1 second more or 1 second less can't work, this thing can't work! ”
With a snap, Mitchell watched as the boss threw a piece of cake he had just taken out of the oven into the recycling bin on the side.
The guests outside are waiting, this store is not big, the store is only about 4 meters, there is nothing in the display cabinet, and the customers are waiting, a small light screen has the words "limited to one copy".
The white clothes on the angry boss have been dyed colorful, and he has a bald head, only some hair on both sides of his forehead, he is already a hundred years old, but he still looks full of anger, if it weren't for the fact that his body is really bad recently, he will definitely not hire this kid who only has strength.
"Got it, Lao Li, I stayed up all night last night and didn't sleep well."
The owner's name is Li Fu, who is 109 years old this year, and has been making cakes for 100 years since he was 9 years old, and this shop has been renovated countless times, but it is still standing.
The cake made by Li Fu tastes different from other cakes in the city, it is very fragrant and sweet, once you eat it once, you will never forget it, and people who come to buy cakes every day will line up in a long line, and everyone comes to such a backstreet, just to buy a piece of cake.
