Fang Hanmin's explanation is actually the common definition of professionalism in the 21st century. The time traveler just copied it, but it made Jiao Tiehui admire him.

The two chatted for nearly three hours, and the wine in their glasses had already been poured into their stomachs. Seeing that it was already very late, Fang Hanmin issued an eviction order, "Tie Hui, it's getting late, you should go home."

Jiao Tiehui looked at his watch and said, "Well, it's almost twelve o'clock. Just wait, I'll bring you some dumplings when I get home." After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Fang Hanmin grabbed Jiao Tiehui and said, "You go home, eat dumplings, and then rest. Leave me alone, because I don't like dumplings. Besides, it's too late, I have to rest, and I have to be on duty tomorrow."

"I'll be back soon. I won't delay your shift tomorrow."

"That won't work! You should go home quickly. It's getting late. Thank you for your company on New Year's Eve!" After saying that, Fang Hanmin pushed Jiao Tiehui out of the door. It was so late on New Year's Eve, and he hoped that Jiao Tiehui would go back as soon as possible.

So that your family won’t worry about it.

...

At eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of the first lunar month, Fang Hanmin appeared in the office on time. According to the duty schedule arranged by the factory office, Fang Hanmin, Guo Peng and Wan Cheng were on duty in the technical department today. However, the two young colleagues had many family matters during the Spring Festival and had to visit relatives.

Friends, they privately asked Fang Hanmin for leave before the holiday, so on the first day of the first lunar month, only section chief Fang Hanmin was actually on duty.

Departments of government agencies are different from the production front line. Being on duty is basically a formality, because the normal work of the department has stopped during holidays, and the staff on duty have nothing to do at their posts.

Fang Hanmin wanted to use his three-day shift during the Spring Festival to make a detailed implementation plan for the process transformation plan of a workshop.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Fang Hanmin was working at his desk when the phone in front of him rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello! This is the Technology Department of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory."

"Hey, it seems I made a mistake. Are you Section Chief Fang Hanmin?"

"Yes, I am Fang Hanmin. Who are you?"

"Today is the first day of the first lunar month. First of all, I wish you a happy Spring Festival! As for who I am, Section Chief Fang is really a noble person who forgets things. Two or three months ago, we had one or two phone calls." It is not difficult to judge from the voice of the other party.

A young lady.

"I also wish you a happy holiday! But I'm very sorry, I really can't remember where we have interacted." In fact, Fang Hanmin already realized who the other party was, but he deliberately pretended to be confused.

"Don't remember anything? Well, let me remind you that after May Day last year, when you visited my house, I opened the door for you."

The other party has talked to this extent. If Fang Hanmin continues to pretend to be confused, it would be too much. "Oh, come to think of it, you are the daughter of Chief Hou's family?"

"I told you last time I called you that my dad is just the chief of the Human Resources Department of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Please remember that I am not a wealthy person. My name is Hou Xuemei!"

"I'm sorry, Comrade Hou Xuemei, I just want to express my respect for you, and I don't mean to offend you. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. May I ask for your phone number...?"

Fang Hanmin knew that at that time, telephones had not yet spread to ordinary people's homes because line resources were very scarce. Even senior middle-level cadres like Section Chief Hou could not have telephones at home. There were only a few factory-level leaders in the entire Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory.

A program-controlled telephone was installed at home. During the Spring Festival holiday, Fang Hanmin thought Hou Xuemei should rest at home. He didn't understand where the call came from?

Of course Hou Xuemei heard what Fang Hanmin meant, "You asked me where I made the call? I am also on duty today. This is the number of our Finance Department."

Fang Hanmin didn't want to care about the other person's affairs, so he said calmly: "Oh, are you on duty too? Well, I wish you a happy job! Goodbye!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Hou Xuemei immediately answered, "Don't be in a hurry to say goodbye! You don't even ask why I called you?"

Of course Fang Hanmin knew the other party's purpose, but he just didn't take the initiative to mention it, "On New Year's Day, just make a phone call and exchange greetings. What else can we do?"

"Don't you think it's strange why I know you are on duty in the unit?"

These words reminded Fang Hanmin, yes, how did she know that I was on duty today? Could it be that Section Chief Hou told his daughter? Fang Hanmin thought about it and thought it was unlikely, because he knew that Lao Hou was a very principled person, and he was the boss of the unit.

Things are generally not taken home.

However, after all, Fang Hanmin was introduced to the factory by Section Chief Hou's brother-in-law. Lao Hou believed that he had some connection with him. He also thought that this young man was too outstanding. Lao Hou always talked about Fang Hanmin's affairs.

During the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, the topic of young people was inadvertently brought up at the dinner table. Lao Hou mentioned Fang Hanmin again and praised him profusely, "This young man not only has high technical level, but also sets an example in everything.

There are too few people who are officially promoted to technical section chiefs by the factory, but don’t go back to their hometown for the Spring Festival, and stay on duty in the factory during the holidays, leaving the old colleagues in the department to rest at home!”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. From the old father's words, Hou Xuemei not only knew that Fang Hanmin had been promoted again, but also knew that he did not return to his hometown during the Spring Festival and was on duty every day during the holidays.

Coincidentally, it was Hou Xuemei's turn to be on duty in the Finance Department of the Municipal Commercial Company today. The eldest sister in the same group had something to do at home and only stayed in the department for less than an hour before going home. Hou Xuemei took the opportunity to call Fang Hanmin's office.

phone number.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Fang Hanmin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, I have been on duty at the unit during the holidays. What can I do for you?"

Hou Xuemei already knew that Fang Hanmin was a popular figure in the work unit. After meeting him briefly on May Day, she asked for the phone number of Fang Hanmin's office from her father. Within a few days, she called Fang Hanmin's office and expressed that she wanted to talk to Fang Hanmin.

make friends.

Hou Xuemei, who studied financial management, was assigned to the financial department of Shuangling City Commercial Company after graduating from university. She is now an assistant accountant. She is the only daughter of her parents. She has been spoiled since she was a child, speaks casually, and is a bit willful. Fang Hanmin doesn't know her at all.

Seeing her taking such initiative made Fang Hanmin retreat. In addition, because he was in love with Yu Dongmei, Fang Hanmin rejected her kindness at that time, but Hou Xuemei had no intention of giving up.

It is inconvenient to make phone calls at ordinary times, and she is afraid that Fang Hanmin will refuse to date her on the excuse of being busy at work. Hou Xuemei rarely has the opportunity to call Fang Hanmin. Today, both parties are on duty, and there is no obstacle from work. Hou Xuemei thinks that Fang Hanmin has no reason to reject her.

Fang Hanmin's knowing question just now was within Hou Xuemei's expectation, "Don't you know what I want from you?"

"You didn't tell me beforehand, how would I know?"

"Do you still remember the first phone call I made to you after May Day?"

"The first time you called me? I still have some memories."

"Do you still remember what I told you on that phone call?"

"In my impression, you said a lot, but I don't remember the specifics."

"Don't remember? Well, let me remind you, I told you at that time, weren't you busy with work and didn't have time to interact with me? I have plenty of time, I can wait for you."

In fact, there is no need for Hou Xuemei to mention it again. How could Fang Hanmin forget those words she said at that time? It was because of those words that Fang Hanmin was afraid that Hou Xuemei would pester her, so he found reasons to push her away.

Fang Hanmin had only met Hou Xuemei briefly, but there was almost no verbal communication. He didn't understand Hou Xuemei at all, so he shouldn't have any prejudice against her. It was because of that phone call that Hou Xuemei's tone contained a bossy sense of superiority.

, which made Fang Hanmin feel very uncomfortable. He immediately refused to date her because of his busy work schedule.

In addition, Fang Hanmin had other considerations. First of all, it was Hou Xuemei's uncle Lao Liu who introduced him to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory as a temporary worker. In addition, Hou Xuemei's father, the head of the HR Department of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, Hou,

A certain amount of attention was given to Fang Hanmin's identity change, professional title promotion and administrative promotion. Although it was not the decisive factor, Fang Hanmin was always grateful to Lao Hou.

In this case, if Fang Hanmin develops a relationship with Hou Xuemei and get along well with each other, once any conflicts arise, Fang Hanmin feels that he cannot face his two benefactors, Lao Liu and Lao Hou. Fang Hanmin believes that Hou Xuemei has been pampered since childhood and is willful and arrogant.

With her temperament and personality, it’s hard to guarantee that things will end well with her. Instead of regretting it in the future, it’s better not to let it happen now!

Facing Hou Xuemei's reminder, Fang Hanmin said calmly: "I think about it, you seem to have said something like this. The question is whether you have time or not, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't need your waiting."

After finally encountering such a good communication opportunity, she was rejected again by Fang Hanmin. Hou Xuemei was obviously a little frustrated, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, can't you say something nice?"

"Comrade Hou Xuemei, if it involves other topics, you can definitely choose something nice to say, but this is a very serious topic. I can't just talk about it and make you any promises." Fang Hanmin said very seriously.

"You..." Hou Xuemei stopped and calmed down her emotions, "Fang Hanmin, you are related to our family, don't forget it!"

Fang Hanmin knew what the other party meant, so he simply said, "I have never forgotten the relationship with Chief Hou's family. First, it was your uncle who introduced me to your father, Chief Hou, and then, it was Chief Hou who arranged for me.

I worked as a temporary worker in the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, and later Section Chief Hou helped me a lot during my promotion to full-time job. I remember all of this and am very grateful for their help."

"In that case, why have you repeatedly refused to date me? What's wrong with me?"

Faced with Hou Xuemei's questioning, Fang Hanmin was calm and said, "The kindness shown to me by Section Chief Hou and Gong Liu is completely different from the issue we are discussing. As far as I know, even your parents are not interested in your thoughts."

I don’t know. I have been friends with Liu Gong for many years. He talks to me about everything. He also has reservations about your idea. I didn’t say you are not good. On the contrary, it is because your conditions are so good in all aspects. I

I just feel like there’s something inappropriate between us.”

"Fang Hanmin, don't argue with me! Don't think that just because you are a technical elite at Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, you think you are so great! Don't forget, have you ever been to a formal institution of higher learning?" Hou Xuemei said hysterically.

Hearing that the other party was a little out of control, Fang Hanmin spoke in a calmer tone, "Comrade Xuemei, please calm down. There is no need for me to quibble with you. What I said is all true. It is a regret of my life that I have not entered a higher education institution.
