Don't follow the rules

Chapter 556: Cross Flower Church (XIX)

"Sir, please stay." Ning Yao was quick-witted and grabbed the back of the collar of the hurriedly walking Master Geng Xun.

Uncle Geng coughed twice and said, "What's the matter? I'm very busy now. You have to wait a while if you want to drink the soup."

Ning Yao put on a "good brother" smile, leaned on the old man, tugged at the sleeve of his uniform and whined: "Uncle Geng, my dear uncle, please lend me your badge~"

"Hey, hey! This is not allowed," Grandpa Geng quickly covered his chest, "There are clear regulations here. One card per person, one card for one use, and it cannot be lent out. We dare not break the rules. Besides, don't you have a card yourself?"

Ning Yao picked his nose awkwardly, his eyes wandering with guilt, and whispered: "Um... I think... I quit..."

Uncle Geng was confused and shocked.

"Don't say anything nonsense," Uncle Geng was so anxious that he put down the fire extinguisher. "What's the matter, Xiaoning? What difficulties have you encountered? Talk to me and we can find a solution together. You have such a good iron rice bowl, why do you quit? Don't tell me chicken soup like poetry and the world is so big. If you want to see the world, you can take a leave to see it. Why don't you quit? Young people should not be too impulsive! Besides, Xiaoning, you are not a child anymore. If your job is unstable at this stage, how can you find a partner? How about this, I will find a chance to help you talk to you? See if I can save the relationship. I have been watching the door for so long, and I know a few junior leaders."

Ning Yao glanced at Chunyu Kong who was watching the show nearby, and was glared back by him.

"Sir, please stop for a moment," Ning Yao said helplessly, "There are people coming and going in the hall, how about we go in first?"

Uncle Geng picked up the fire extinguisher. The dog glanced around furtively, lowered his voice, and said in a principled manner: "You don't have the authority. Come with me to the security room."

"...Okay, the security room is the security room." Ning Yao followed dejectedly, and Chunyu Kong followed closely behind without saying a word.

But just as he took his right foot, Uncle Geng suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Chunyu Kong with a little caution for a moment, then turned to Ning Yao and whispered, "I say... Xiao Ning, what's wrong with your friend?"

Ning Yao followed the old man's line of sight and imitated his movements, examining Chunyu Kong from head to toe, even adding obscene expressions and movements without permission. He squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin: "Yeah~ Brother Kong, what's wrong with you? You are so handsome without making a sound."

The air was stagnant for half a second, until Chun Yukong's silent fist made a clear "crackling" sound, and then Uncle Geng shook his head with a smile: "You little fool, you know that's not what I meant."

Pi Hou put his arm around Chun Yu Kong's shoulder and assured Uncle Geng, "Uncle, don't worry. My friend is absolutely reliable. Believe me, he is a sealed can dipped in wax. He won't fart even if the sky falls! My dear uncle, why don't we let him follow us?"

Uncle Geng was embarrassed: "It's not a question of whether to believe it or not, it's just that this, this, this violates the regulations..."

Ning Yao lifted up his bangs and looked out: "What rules are there? Why didn't I see them? Who said we can't bring people in?"

Uncle Geng reached out and fiddled with his hair with great concern: "With your hair so long, your bangs will block your eyes and affect your vision."

Ning Yao smiled awkwardly: "Like the dean of studies. Okay, okay~ I'll get my hair cut when I have time."

Uncle Geng smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked towards the security room, tacitly agreeing to Chunyu Kong's following. Ning Yao was very observant and hurried forward to take the fire extinguisher from the uncle's hand.

"Hehe, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring you anything. This way it doesn't count as me coming here empty-handed~" Ning Yao smiled.

Uncle Geng waved his hand and walked in front to lead the way. Along the way, he made important speeches and instructions on Ning Yao's resignation and his slightly non-mainstream hairstyle. Ning Yao followed behind with a nod and a bow.

"That's right, that's right."

"You're right!"

"That's absolutely right!" "What a brilliant insight! This is enterprise-level understanding."

Uncle Geng Xun was so amused that his eyes narrowed into slits and he couldn't stop smiling.

"We're here." Uncle Geng stopped in front of the security room, took out his badge and swiped the door to open it.

"Wow~" Ning Yao gave enough emotional value, "Is this my office? It's really nice. Look at how he spends his days. Wow, it's still the familiar blood test. Why do you always watch this episode?"

The security room is naturally not equipped with a TV, and all the screens here have only one function - monitoring. But this does not bother the great working people. Uncle Geng and his colleagues pooled money to buy a small projector, and when they have nothing to do, they would watch their favorite "The Legend of Zhen Huan" on the big white wall.

The old man said confidently: "This episode is a classic."

"...That's true." Ning Yao smiled, turned around and saw Chunyu Kong had found a seat and sat down without any hesitation, and started looking through the security log.

Uncle Geng was speechless for a second, then looked at Ning Yao with resentment, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: You don’t want to care?

How dare I care about him!
Ning Yao smiled foolishly twice, only daring to complain in his heart without showing any expression on his face. He looked away guiltily and even took the initiative to bring up the topic of his own resignation.

Uncle Geng disagreed: "Young people, you can't just follow the crowd in the workplace. Even if your colleagues follow the young leaders and resign, you can't just follow blindly. You have to have your own career plan."

"I don't want to quit! I was just... forced to do this." Ning Yao's voice became lower and lower.

"Your situation is much more serious than I thought," said Mr. Geng seriously, "It can't be solved by simply finding a small leader."

"Do we need to find it?" Ning Yao asked.

"Let's find a barber first." said Uncle Geng.

"Okay... huh?" Ning Yao was stunned.

"First, find a barber to give you a neat haircut. Don't make your hair look so sloppy that it's hard to see. Then buy two packs of cigarettes and a can of wine. Don't buy anything too expensive, just enough to pass the test. Take them to the minister's home to visit him," said Mr. Geng, who seemed very experienced. "Don't say you're here to do them a favor. Just say you're just visiting. Don't make things difficult for them. Once you're familiar with them, submit your reinstatement application again. They won't make things difficult for you."

Ning Yao was stunned: "Master, this, this is not considered breaking the rules?"

Uncle Geng opened the thermos and took a sip of tea: "How is this against the rules? Although it is a bit flattering, it is not bribery. Just get along well with the leader. The leader actually wants to get along with his subordinates. Don't worry."

Ning Yao's mask of pain: "I, I, I can't do it..."

"You can give it a try. I think what the uncle said makes sense. He is worthy of being a man of age and experience. Ning Yao, just do as Uncle Geng says." Chun Yu Kong put down the security log in his hand.

Ning Yao was shocked: "Brother Kong, I didn't offend you just now, did I?"

Chun Yukong raised his eyebrows: "How can it be an offense to ask you to learn more about the ways of the world?"

Ning Yao exposed it in a second: "You just want to see me shave my head!"
