Chapter 223 Why Do You Think I'm Beautiful?
Deputy Director Zhang secretly cursed the expert as a nerd. He didn't care whether the treasure could be found or not. He knew that finding the treasure would also be Li Mengman's credit. He was just complaining about his hard work over the past two days.
"The experts are right. How does Que Dongjin know that the treasure marked on the blueprint refers to the cave? Deputy Director Zhang, you'd better not make random guesses." Li Mengman said.
Li Mengman thought to herself, when you said we were fooled by Que Dongjin, doesn’t that mean I was fooled by him?
Deputy Director Zhang also realized that his words had implicated Li Mengman. He smiled and said, "I didn't mean it. I just said it casually. Please don't take it to heart."
Li Mengman glanced at him and said with a smile, "Deputy Director Zhang, we have gained a lot from this trip. After all, we have seen a lot of beautiful scenery. It can be considered a trip to relax, don't you think?"
Deputy Director Zhang looked at Li Mengman and smiled at him, and said quickly: "You are right, we still gained a lot."
"Deputy Director Zhang, I'm going to tell you this time. I've fallen in love with one of your subordinates. I wonder if you're willing to give him up?" Li Mengman still smiled.
So that's how it is! Deputy Director Zhang finally understood why Li Mengman laughed. However, he still said calmly: "Director Li, you are making fun of me! All your subordinates are top-notch people. How can you be interested in my subordinates? Who? Tell me."
"Li Yongjun!" said Li Mengman.
"Hahaha! He is your relative. If you like him, just tell the higher-ups and I will let him go. It won't affect his future." Deputy Director Zhang thought to himself, I really don't like him. If you want him, go ahead. Of course, he really thought that Li Yongjun and Director Li were relatives with the same surname.
"Okay! Great! We've settled it." said Li Mengman.
"Okay. I have to give face to Director Li." Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Li Yongjun!" Li Mengman shouted.
"Here!" Li Yongjun ran up to her and saluted.
"I want you to come to me and serve the party and the country. Are you willing?" Li Mengman looked at the handsome Li Yongjun.
"As long as I serve the Party and the country, it doesn't matter where I am! I am willing!" Li Yongjun said beautifully.
"Okay! I've talked to your Deputy Director Zhang. I'll tell the higher-ups directly when I get back." Li Mengman said happily.
"Thank you Director Li for your kindness!" Li Yongjun knew that his direct superior had let him go, and Li Mengman had directly asked for him, so he was definitely going to leave.
Although Deputy Director Zhang is the deputy director, he has his own people under him at the headquarters. The director above him does not directly manage these team members. He only manages three deputy directors. To him, he is too lazy to ask whether an unimportant person stays or leaves. If Director Li says something to him, he will definitely agree.
Li Mengman was able to take Li Yongjun back, which finally made up a little for not finding the treasure, and her mood improved.
After Li Mengman and Deputy Director Zhang returned to the headquarters, they reported the treasure hunt. After hearing the report, the headquarters just felt regretful, and from then on, they no longer worried about Que Dongjin's hidden agenda, which was of course a good thing for Que Dongjin. Otherwise, Que Dongjin would be supervised everywhere.
When Li Mengman returned to the special training camp, she took Li Yongjun with her directly.
On the way back to the training camp, Li Mengman was still very happy. Li Yongjun was even happier. How could he not be happy to be favored by the beautiful director? Besides, he had never been commended under Deputy Director Zhang.
"Li Yongjun, do you know why I specifically asked for you?" Li Mengman was walking on the mountain road, she turned her head to look at Li Yongjun and asked with a smile.
"I don't know. Director Li, why do you like me? I am a very ordinary person and I am afraid of letting you down." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"I like your seriousness and your work attitude. Yongjun, you go and assist Deputy Director Ji in managing logistics and be his assistant. Are you willing?" Li Mengman had already made plans. She knew that Old Ji had done a lot of tricks in secret and it was not easy for her to intervene directly. She wanted to use her own people to supervise him to prevent him from going too far.
Logistics work is a very lucrative job, and it's okay for Lao Ji to take some, but Li Mengman is afraid that Lao Ji will do too much and affect normal operations. Li Yongjun is serious about his work, and she has saved him. In his words, his life belongs to her, Li Mengman, and he will definitely listen to her.
"I assist the deputy director in managing logistics? I just arrived and you let me do this, won't they have any objections? Logistics work is a good job in the eyes of others." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Don't have any worries. Just do it if I tell you to. Follow Deputy Director Ji and obey his arrangements. Of course, report your work progress to me directly every few days. If Deputy Director Ji has any major decisions, please report to me as soon as possible. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Mengman made her words very clear.
"I understand. Director Li, don't worry, you saved my life. I know what to do." Li Yongjun said.
This Li Yongjun is not very dull, why does Deputy Director Zhang not like him? I'll give him a try. Li Mengman thought, and said with a smile: "Yongjun, you are usually under Deputy Director Zhang, how does he treat you?"
"He was very nice to me. He had very strict requirements on my work. However, I didn't achieve any results," Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Is Deputy Director Zhang also very strict with others?" Li Mengman continued to ask.
"I am only responsible for doing my job well, I don't pay attention to these." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yes." Li Yongjun's answer this time was as simple as one word.
Good! I like this kind of person. His boss obviously treats him badly, or at least doesn't take care of him. However, he doesn't speak ill of his former boss behind his back to please his current boss. This kind of person is useful. Thinking of this, Li Mengman likes Li Yongjun even more.
"Li Yongjun, follow me and work hard. If you achieve good results, I will ask the higher-ups to reward you." Li Mengman said with a smile.
"thank you."
"Yongjun, when it's just the two of us, you don't have to be too polite or too restrained, okay?" Li Mengman continued to win people's hearts. She thought that this Li Yongjun should be developed into her confidant.
Li Mengman felt very sorry. She had always wanted to develop a few confidants, people who could see the bullets coming and rush forward to block them. However, she never had the opportunity, or rather, she never found such people as development targets. She and Gao Weilan seemed to be as close as sisters, but they were just warming each other up. She was not someone who could block bullets for her.
"Director Li, you are my superior, I cannot act casually in front of you." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Listen to me. I told you not to treat me as your superior when you two are together. You should treat me as a friend, okay? That way I'll be happy." Li Mengman said.
"Okay! If you are happy, then that's it. When there is no one around, I will treat you as a friend and tell you anything. Of course, if you are angry or unhappy, you can scold me." Li Yongjun said.
"Yongjun, you are actually very smart. I'm telling you the truth, why doesn't Deputy Director Zhang like you very much?" Li Mengman stopped and looked at Li Yongjun.
"Director Li, you are amazing. We have only been together for two days, and you can tell that Deputy Director Zhang doesn't like me? Since you said so, I will tell you the truth! Deputy Director Zhang likes people who say nice things to him and doesn't like people who give him opinions or suggestions. I know what kind of person he is, so I don't say nice things or make suggestions. He can't hear my flattery, so of course he won't get close to me." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Oh! You don't want to say anything against your will, but you don't dare to offend him. So you just follow the golden mean, right?" Li Mengman said with a smile.
"Yes. I just focus on doing my job well. Director Li, I really admire you. You are good at judging people. You have real ability. These are what I really think." Li Yongjun said with a smile.
"Look, didn't you also say flattering words?" Li Mengman continued walking forward with a smile.
"I'm not saying flattery, I'm saying the truth." Li Yongjun followed Li Mengman happily.
"Okay, whether it's flattery or not. Everyone likes to hear nice words, me too. I'm happy when you say that." Li Mengman said.
"There's nothing wrong in liking to hear good words. But it's not good to liking to hear lies, as it will hurt others and yourself," said Li Yongjun.
Li Mengman stopped again, looked at Li Yongjun, and smiled: "Li Yongjun, it seems that I was right to want you! What you said makes a lot of sense. If someone really does a good job, it is not wrong for others to say he is good. If you do not do a good job, but insist on being praised by others, it will indeed cause trouble! You are very smart and principled! I like you as a person."
"Thank you Director Li for the compliment." Li Yongjun smiled.
"Look, you're being polite to me again. Let's go." Li Mengman said as she continued to walk forward, "Don't always walk behind me. The road is so wide, walk in line with me."
"I want you to go in front, you are my leader." Li Yongjun said.
"What? Didn't you hear what I said? Just be casual." Li Mengman stopped.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Yongjun looked at Li Mengman with a smile, "Director Li, you are so beautiful."
"Am I really beautiful?"
"Very beautiful! The most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Li Yongjun smiled.
"I told you to be casual with me, and you become so glib?" Li Mengman laughed. She was happy that Li Yongjun could say such words casually.
Li Yongjun just smiled and said nothing more.
"Yongjun, how come I am beautiful? You can't put it into words, right? If you can't put it into words, then it's just flattery." Li Mengman teased Li Yongjun deliberately.
"I, I don't know what to say." said Li Yongjun.
"Just say whatever you think. Just tell me what you think about me and why I am so beautiful." Li Mengman glanced at Li Yongjun.
"I'm afraid you'll say something about me."
"Are you afraid that I will say something about you?" Li Mengman thought to herself, Li Yongjun is still very scheming, he will definitely block my way first to prevent me from getting angry.
