The leader is my girlfriend

Some forms of contempt are superficial, like the way Garment Factory No. 2 treated Lu Wanwan. They saw only a young woman, perhaps presumably lacking experience or skills. Coupled with Lu Wanwan's gender, age, and the lack of a definitive background, Garment Factory No. 2 looked down on her. Consequently, during the final negotiations a day later, Garment Factory No. 2 adopted a fearless approach, opting for a buyout price to purchase the clothing design drawings.

However, faced with this situation, Textile Factory No. 3 represented by Lu Wanwan only agreed to sell 5 sets of design drawings, and the "friendly negotiation" ended like this.

The day before leaving, Wang Yiming once again received 7 cans of delicious crab roe sauce and a large amount of dried fish, and left his address, asking him to write a letter or send a telegram if he needed anything again.

Wang Yiming had made up his mind. He didn't need to worry about the other colleagues. (Liu Yulu and Zhang Xianhong would probably prepare some local specialties to take home, so he didn't need to worry about that.) But he certainly couldn't ignore his leader, so when they boarded the train again, in addition to the things secretly placed in the space, Wang Yiming also specially prepared two large backpacks and two buckets and placed them in the open. He and Zhu Hongwei each carried a backpack and a bucket. One backpack was filled with Haishi's special rice cakes, osmanthus cakes and other cakes and dried fruits, and the other backpack was filled with the dried abalone and salted fish he had exchanged for. Of course, the buckets contained fresh abalone, which would not go bad if eaten in time.

He is such a considerate and good subordinate...

Similarly, a good leader would send him to the end of the alley, and it is definitely not because Wang Yiming is thick-skinned.

After stopping the car, Wang Yiming asked Lu Wanwan to wait for him, and then began to organize his large backpack, rearrange the backpack, and put the things on the seat while talking, and started talking to himself.

"There's fresh abalone and prawns in the bucket. Let's cook them tonight. I'm afraid they'll go bad. Seafood doesn't last long, so you can steam, boil, or stir-fry it. Abalone doesn't have any fat, just some carbohydrates and protein, so it's okay to eat more. When cooking prawns, remember to remove the shrimp thread. There's mud and sand in them, and they don't taste good." (And the shrimp poop)

"This basket is filled with dried abalone and salted fish. When you have time, ask your family to make some and try them. They should be very fresh. Dried goods can be stored for half a year without any problem."

"These three bottles are crab roe sauce. You can take them home and mix them with rice or noodles, or make crab roe tofu. If you like it, let me know. I've left my contact information with Wang Han, and I can mail it to you."

"This box contains rice cakes and osmanthus cakes. Heat them in water and eat them as soon as possible. Even without preservatives, they've been left out for a day. If you keep them any longer, they won't taste good."

"This is... Golden Chicken Biscuits. I heard they're a specialty snack in Hai City. We missed them while shopping yesterday. Take these back and eat them during your indulgence meal. You can eat them whenever you want, but only two at a time. Eating too much will slow down our progress. Losing weight is the key."

"This bag contains peanut nougat and White Rabbit milk candy. We can buy them here, but since they're specialty snacks, it feels more thoughtful to bring them home yourself."

"And this pair of shoes. Go try them out later to see if they fit. If they don't, there's nothing you can do about it, but you can give them away."

Lu Wanwan asked doubtfully, "Didn't you buy the shoes for your aunt?"

"Hey, my aunt is 162cm."

"..."

【Book back to yesterday:

"Boss, I'm going to buy some local specialties for my family. Do you want to come with me?"

"No."

"What size shoes do you wear?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I want to buy a pair of shoes for my aunt, but I don't know her size. I think your size should be about the same, so I'll ask."

"Code 38."

"Okay, I'll be out first then."

"Ah."

Department Store

"Nutou brand leather shoes, this should be it."

(Thanks to Comrade Wang Han, who sold him three leather shoe tickets and several other tickets on the black market to keep him as a customer. Of course, it wasn't for nothing, he sold wild boar meat.)

"Comrade, how much is a pair of this brand of leather shoes?"

"41 yuan a pair, plus a shoe ticket."

A pair of leather shoes costs him more than a month's salary! What a luxury! Fortunately, he doesn't like wearing leather shoes.

"One pair each in sizes 36 and 38 for women, and one pair in size 43 for men."

There are exactly three pictures, uncle, aunt, and Lu Wanwan, perfect.

"Six dollars in total."

"OK."】

----------

"How much? I'll give it to you."

"But what if all these things I prepared are worthless?"

"There must be a number."

"I am priceless, how about you buy me back?"

"..."

"Haha, just take it. Don't mention the money. If you really think so... then don't win against me at rock-paper-scissors anymore."

There was no answer. The last words he heard before Lu Wanwan closed the car door and left were, "Drive."

……

Their son was away on a business trip for a week, and An Chong and Cui Jinhua were terribly worried. Even though he was traveling with a team to another city, he wasn't by their side, so how could they truly feel at ease? Every day, they wondered if their son was eating well, sleeping soundly, and working smoothly. Coming home from get off work, they felt reassured to see their nephew busy in the kitchen.

"Uncle, aunt, let's have seafood tonight."

"Why do you bring so many things on a business trip? They are so heavy." Cui Jinhua took a look and saw that there was still water in the bucket. She brought it back from another city by train.

"It's okay. We have a good big brother in our group. He helped me share half of these things. When I came back, our leader sent a car to drop me off at the entrance of our alley. It's only a few steps away."

"It's your deputy factory director, right?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Your leader is great, and he cares about his subordinates. It would be great if I could continue to work with him. I'd try to leave the purchasing department and move to another department."

"No, the main point is kindness."

"Did you take enough money with you?"

"That's enough, but uncle, aunt, when you give me money in the future, you still have to calculate it yourself. Otherwise, I will basically spend whatever I have."

"Why should I be afraid that you will spend it? I gave it to you, so you can spend it as much as you want, you little rascal. Let me see what you brought back." An Chong did not move and asked Cui Jinhua to open it and take a look.

"There are still a lot of dry goods. We can eat them ourselves or give them to others."

"Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year."

"Also, I have to praise Haishi. They don't even need meat tickets for their seafood, which makes it difficult to ship it back. Otherwise, we could get more."

An Chong looked at the fish and shrimp in the bucket and said, "That's enough. This is more than enough."

Given his nephew's small body, it was not easy to bring back so much, and he was very content.

"Snacks and other things are mainly bought for my aunt, so please don't snatch them away, uncle."

"Hey, you didn't buy anything just for me?"

"Aunt, what should I do? I forgot about my uncle."

"It's okay, your uncle doesn't like snacks, let him eat more seafood later, and we two can eat the snacks ourselves." Cui Jinhua cleaned up and saved her eldest nephew.

"What is this?" Cui Jinhua took it out and opened the package. There was a pair of leather shoes for men and women.

"Hey kid, you said Xiao Ming didn't buy you any, look at these leather shoes."

"Hey, let me try it."

An Chong took it and put it on happily, then stood up and walked a few steps. "It's very good, the size is perfect."

Wang Yiming brought out the dishes and said, "Not bad, right? I specially asked someone to exchange the leather shoe tickets for them. I heard that these are the famous Niutou brand leather shoes in Hai City."

"You didn't buy it for yourself?"

"Don't I have them? Besides, I don't like wearing leather shoes. How many times have I worn the leather shoes I bought?"

"How can a cadre not wear leather shoes?"

"My feet are uncomfortable, so I'd rather wear some shoes. Let's eat, I'm hungry."

"Hey kid, let's eat."
