Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Lao Xin, you should knock on the door..."

"Old Wan, you are the deputy director, the second in command of the bureau. It is more appropriate for you to knock... After all, the deputy director and the director are more suitable for each other..."

Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong stood at the door of the director's office, talking to each other and being polite to each other.

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

The deputy director and the director of Shente Miao are more compatible...

Are you guys a good match?
He rolled his eyes at Xin Jinghui speechlessly, and then suggested: "How about this, let's follow the old rules and decide the winner in one round. However, whoever loses will go and knock on the door, how about that?"

Xin Jinghui readily agreed: "Okay, no problem!"

The two smiled at each other, and then began their little game - rock-paper-scissors.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

Following a clear command, both of them stretched out their hands at the same time.

"Haha, I won!"

Xin Jinghui looked at the cloth he had made and successfully wrapped Wan Zhenhong's stone, and smiled triumphantly.

Wan Zhenhong was not willing to give in: "No, no, let's do it again. Best of three is fair..."

Xin Jinghui smiled and shook his head: "Lao Wan, how can you cheat? We agreed to have one round to decide the winner."

Just at this moment...

The door of the director's office opened gently, and Wei Guodong slowly leaned out, looking at them with a hint of curiosity and inquiry on his face: "What are you two doing? Why are you standing at the door? I can vaguely hear your argument from inside the room."

Xin Jinghui: "..."

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

What is it like to be caught arguing at the door of your boss’ office?
All in all, it's quite embarrassing!

Wan Zhenhong quickly adjusted his expression, showing an awkward but polite smile, and explained: "Director Wei, you may have misunderstood. There is no dispute between us. Director Xin wanted to discuss some work matters with you, but because he was a little nervous, he didn't have the courage to knock on the door. I tried to help him ease his emotions and chatted with him for a few words."

Xin Jinghui had a smile on his face, but he looked at Wan Zhenhong in his heart: You old Wan, you just passed the pot to me so easily, and you just passed this "hot potato" to me so easily, you old fox, you are too unethical, aren't you? !
At this moment, he wanted to draw a circle in his heart and curse Wan Zhenhong silently.

of course.

He is also a person who cannot bear the slightest loss, if there is a loss, he will return it on the spot...

So...

He said with a warm smile: "Director Wei, I was actually a little nervous, afraid that I would disturb you. Deputy Director Wan happened to be there, so we exchanged a few words. Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Wan agreed with my idea and planned to report to you in detail with me!"

When Wan Zhenhong heard Xin Jinghui's words, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This is really a case of trying to steal a chicken but being outmaneuvered by the other party...

This is really a case of shooting oneself in the foot...

Lao Xin, oh Lao Xin, you are really not authentic enough!

Wan Zhenhong gave Xin Jinghui a reproachful look.

Xin Jinghui deliberately avoided his sight, looked away, and pretended nothing had happened.

In short, as long as he doesn't look, the condemning eyes can't catch up with him...

Wei Guodong keenly caught the subtle changes in expressions on Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong's faces. At the same time, combined with the list of people to be inspected at the start of school he had just received, he already had some guesses about their purpose.

But he did not rush to point it out. Instead, he decided to keep an open mind and listen to what they wanted to say first. After all, sometimes unexpected ideas can bring unexpected gains.

He smiled and invited, "Since you have something you want to discuss with me in depth, please come in and sit down. Let's sit down and talk slowly..."

"Hey, okay, Director Wei!"

Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong nodded in agreement, walked into the office one after another, and sat down on the sofa.

"Would you two like anything to drink? I have some excellent Longjing tea here," Wei Guodong asked enthusiastically.

"No, no, Director Wei, don't bother us, we're not thirsty." Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong quickly waved their hands to refuse.

"That's fine, let's get straight to the point." Seeing this, Wei Guodong stopped being polite and walked straight to the sofa on the side and sat down. He glanced at the two of them gently and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing this, Wan Zhenhong gently touched Xin Jinghui's arm and signaled him to speak with his eyes.

Xin Jinghui deliberately ignored it and continued to sit there motionless with his eyes flickering.

Seeing that no one responded, Wei Guodong took the initiative to call on me again and asked, "Director Xin, didn't you say you had something to discuss with me? Then tell me now!"

Hearing this, Wan Zhenhong felt nothing at all, and even felt like laughing.

haha~
Lao Xin, you can't hide now...

Xin Jinghui sighed helplessly in his heart and slowly said, "Director Wei, the purpose of our visit is actually to discuss with you the list of names for the school opening inspection. We believe that in order to ensure the comprehensiveness and objectivity of the inspection, we may need to make some adjustments to the existing list."

Sure enough!
Wei Guodong, who had expected this, smiled and said, "Oh, Director Xin, you mean to say that you want to include the Doraemi Kindergarten in the inspection scope, right?"

"Director Wei is really wise!"

Xin Jinghui quickly agreed, with a flattering smile on his face.

Wan Zhenhong also clapped his hands at the right time and echoed: "Director Wei is really perceptive!"

Wei Guodong shook his head in a serious manner and said jokingly, "You two, stop flattering me! Don't think I don't know your little tricks. Are you thinking about the food at Doremi Kindergarten again, so you want to get a free meal under the pretext of an inspection?"

Uh…

Since my thoughts have been seen through, I won't hide them anymore. Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Haha, no one knows me better than Director Wei! But Director Wei, don't you want to go to the Doraimi Kindergarten and try the food there?"

Wei Guodong: “…”

Greedy...

Of course I am greedy...

He was so greedy that he lost his appetite and couldn't sleep these days...

It's like having unrequited love...

However, as the head of the bureau, he must always keep a clear head and cannot "abuse his power for personal gain" due to personal desires. Otherwise, how can he win the support of the people in the future and maintain the fair image of the bureau?
Hey!
Since ancient times, life has been full of dilemmas!
He did not directly answer Xin Jinghui and the others' questions, but said earnestly: "The list of schools to be inspected at the beginning of the school year was drawn up after careful consideration by the Education Bureau and should not be changed easily. Moreover, Doraimi Kindergarten had already been inspected at the beginning of the school year last year. If it is included again this year, other kindergartens will have to be replaced, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other kindergartens and will not comply with the relevant regulations of the bureau."

"Director Wei, I actually have a compromise, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Xin Jinghui interrupted at the right time.

"Tell me about it..." Wei Guodong nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.

Xin Jinghui went on to elaborate: "We can consider inspecting the two kindergartens on the same day, which can ensure the comprehensiveness of the inspection work and avoid frequent adjustments to the list."

"Let's get to the point!" Wei Guodong suddenly became interested.

Xin Jinghui responded quickly: "For example, the day after tomorrow, after we complete the inspection of the opening of the school year at the Office Kindergarten, we can also go to the Doraimi Kindergarten for an inspection. This will not only ensure the smooth completion of the inspection of the Office Kindergarten, but also satisfy our concern for the Doraimi Kindergarten. Moreover, according to my research, the Bureau does not have a clear rule that multiple kindergartens cannot be inspected on the same day, nor does it stipulate that kindergartens that have been inspected last semester cannot be inspected again this semester. Therefore, I think this plan is feasible."

Wan Zhenhong nodded in agreement: "Director Xin is right, there is indeed no such explicit rule. This way we can taste the food of Doraimi Kindergarten and successfully complete the inspection task of the government kindergarten without violating any regulations. It really kills two birds with one stone."

"Indeed, Director Wei, rules are dead, but people are alive. We can be flexible and adapt appropriately without violating the regulations," Xin Jinghui tried his best to persuade.

Wei Guodong was silent for a moment, carefully weighing the pros and cons of this proposal in his mind.

He glanced back and forth between Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong, and finally said slowly: "The point you made is indeed reasonable, but we must act with caution. The inspection is not only a comprehensive review of the kindergartens, but also a test of the credibility of our Education Bureau. If we plan to inspect the Doraimi Kindergarten, we must find an appropriate reason to ensure that the inspection process is compliant and reasonable to avoid any unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings."

“Of course,” Wei Guodong continued, “we can regard this inspection of Doraimi Kindergarten as a ‘return visit’ or ‘special care’. After all, the situation in kindergartens may change every semester, and timely understanding of these changes is crucial to ensure that children grow up in a safe and healthy environment. In this way, even if we inspected multiple kindergartens on the same day, we would have a reasonable explanation.”

Xin Jinghui nodded repeatedly: "Director Wei's words are very accurate. Our visit to Dolami Kindergarten this time is like a 'return visit' to see if they have made any progress since the inspection last semester, or if there are any new problems that need to be solved. In this way, our educational work will appear more serious and responsible, and we will not just go through the motions, but really put our heart into it."

Wan Zhenhong also agreed: "Moreover, we should communicate with Director Liang of the Dorami Kindergarten in advance so that she can understand our plan and make corresponding preparations. I think we can agree to go to the Dorami Kindergarten at 10 am. What do you think?"

They said these high-sounding words so many times that even they themselves almost began to believe that they really possessed noble moral principles.

such a pity…

Behind this noble moral integrity, there is a lot of scheming...

Their actions are entirely based on the principle that "morality is precious, ethics is more valuable, and if it is for Huang Jun's delicious food, both can be appropriately discarded"...

Wei Guodong thought about it and finally decided: "That's it, we will implement it according to this plan."

Xin Jinghui showed a satisfied smile on his face and praised sincerely: "Director Wei, your decision is really wise and decisive. This plan is undoubtedly a very wise choice!"

Wan Zhenhong also quickly echoed, "Director Wei, with your careful guidance, we will be able to successfully complete this inspection mission. I will immediately contact Principal Liang of the Dorami Kindergarten to ensure that she can make full preparations for the inspection in advance."

Wei Guodong nodded gently: "Okay, then you can go and make the arrangements."

Xin Jinghui and Wan Zhenhong responded in unison: "Okay, Director Wei, you go ahead and we'll get ready."

Afterwards, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui left the director's office together and went straight to the deputy director's office.

As soon as he stepped into the deputy director's office, Wan Zhenhong quickly walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and quickly dialed the number of Liang Yinqiu, the principal of Dolami Kindergarten.

On the other end of the phone, Liang Yinqiu sat upright in his office, holding the phone tightly in his hand, with a questioning smile on his face: "Hello, Director Wan, hello! Why are you calling me suddenly? Do you have any new instructions?"

Wan Zhenhong's voice came through the phone line, clear and gentle: "Principal Liang, it's like this. The day after tomorrow we plan to come to your kindergarten around ten o'clock to conduct an inspection of the new semester."

When Liang Yinqiu heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and ripples of doubt arose in his heart.

Wasn’t the opening inspection completed in the first half of the semester?

How come the second half of the semester has started again?

Besides, the second half of the semester hasn't officially started yet. Are you, the leaders of the Education Bureau, really so enthusiastic?
How come she didn't realize before that these education leaders were so proactive?

Seeing that Liang Yinqiu did not respond immediately, Wan Zhenhong immediately understood her doubts and explained, "Principal Liang, don't think too much. This inspection is mainly to conduct a return visit to see how the kindergarten is running since the new semester, as well as the children's learning and living conditions. We hope to provide a better growth environment for the children, so please make corresponding preparations."

Is that really all there is to it?

Are you sure you're not craving the food at Dolami Kindergarten?

Liang Yinqiu had roughly guessed the reason, but she did not show it. She just responded with her usual gentle smile: "Oh, so that's the case, Director Wan. Don't worry, we will fully cooperate with your work and make all preparations in advance to ensure that the inspection goes smoothly. In addition, I will also notify Chef Huang and ask him to prepare some of our kindergarten's signature dishes. Although I know that you and other leaders are busy with official duties, since you are here, you must try our Doraimi's specialties. It can be regarded as a small reward for your and your team's hard work."

When Wan Zhenhong on the other end of the phone heard these words, his smile stretched from ear to ear.

Haha, that’s exactly what I wanted!

This painstaking arrangement finally paid off.

Wan Zhenhong: "Haha, Director Liang is so polite. We will obey your orders and look forward to tasting the delicious food of Doraimi. However, the inspection work should still be given priority to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Liang Yinqiu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course, Director Wan. We will put the inspection work first, and we will also try our best to let the leaders feel the warmth and enthusiasm of our Doraimi after the inspection."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Yinqiu acted quickly and informed Huang Jun of the news as soon as possible.

Huang Jun didn't show much surprise on his face when he heard this.

After all, as the size of the kindergarten expands, the number of staff has gradually increased, and it is no longer difficult to cope with such reception tasks.

He nodded calmly: "Director Liang, don't worry, I will carefully select ingredients and cook them according to the tastes and preferences of the visiting leaders to ensure that every dish will satisfy the leaders."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work then!" (End of this chapter)
