Chapter 9 A Cup of Jasmine Tea
"Anguo, go for lunch." Chen Hua came over to greet Huang Anguo at noon.
"Brother Hua, you go first, I'm going out later." Huang Anguo said with a smile.
"Go out? You guy can't be a secret lover, right?" Chen Hua said with a puzzled look on Huang Anguo.
"Nothing is wrong, I'll go out to buy something." Huang Anguo smiled.
During lunch, Huang Anguo went to a supermarket next to the provincial party committee to buy a large bag of good jasmine tea. Then he hurriedly finished lunch and rushed back to the office. He lay on the table for a while. At about 1:30, Huang Anguo tore open the large bag of jasmine tea he bought, took out a small bag from it and poured it into a cup, brewed it with boiling water, then covered the cup, sat on his chair and waited quietly.
Within five minutes, Director Gao Ling also came to work early. During the period of work, Huang Anguo always found that Gao Ling not only got off work later than others, but also went to work in the morning than others. This Director was very troublesome.
"Director Gao, your tea." After Gao Ling went in for a while, Huang Anguo walked into Gao Ling's office with the brewed tea.
"Let's go, thank you for your hard work." Gao Ling nodded and smiled. She had become accustomed to Huang Anguo's actions. Over the past month, Huang Anguo has not only been responsible for the office's hygiene work, but also Huang Anguo is also doing some trivial matters in the office. For example, it is indeed quite hard to serve tea and water to her and two other deputy directors every day. However, for this reason, she has a good impression of Huang Anguo. In her eyes, Huang Anguo is a "hardworking" and "steady" person, and is still a talent who can be created. After the work period of a year, he is ready to be transferred to him as a deputy chief clerk.
"Okay, Director Gao, that's nothing, I'll go out first." Huang Anguo said as usual, but he had a mysterious smile that he didn't usually have.
There is still a while before working hours. He has done the cleaning work at noon and has nothing to do. Huang Anguo picked up the S Provincial Daily. The front page of the article was the speech of the new provincial party secretary Wang Kaiping on "comprehensively grasping economic construction and building a new socialist countryside." Looking at the photos of Wang Kaiping's speech on the newspaper, Huang Anguo couldn't help but remember the short half-hour face-to-face conversation with Wang Kaiping in this office. More than a month has passed. It is estimated that Wang Kaiping has forgotten him. He is the provincial party secretary of a province and has a lot of trouble every day. How could he remember a little person like him? He has been hoping that the conversation can become an opportunity for him to succeed. At this moment, this hope is gradually moving towards a slim until he has no fantasies.
"An Guo, come in." Gao Ling in the director's office suddenly shouted to Huang Anguo.
"Director Gao, call me." Huang Anguo walked into Gao Ling's office and asked a little knowingly. If he hadn't expected it was wrong, Gao Ling would probably call him in because of the cup of tea he had just brought in.
"Anguo, this tea?" Gao Ling looked at Huang Anguo in confusion, waiting for his answer.
"Director Gao, this is a cup of jasmine tea." Huang Anguo said with a faint smile.
"Isn't the tea I usually make? Why did I suddenly change it to jasmine tea today?" Gao Ling frowned.
"Director Gao, I think the office usually provides some more ordinary tea leaves. I was afraid that it would not suit your taste, so I went out to buy some jasmine tea." Huang Anguo explained.
"Oh, that's right." Gao Ling nodded, "Why, An Guo, do you like to drink jasmine tea?" When Gao Ling asked this question, there seemed to be some kind of brilliance in her eyes.
"No, I don't like drinking tea very much." Huang Anguo replied truthfully. He usually either drinks carbonated drinks or some orange juice, and basically doesn't drink tea, except for drinking a little occasionally in the office.
"Oh." Gao Ling said calmly, with a slight disappointment in her eyes, and she quickly covered it up, "Then why did you buy jasmine tea?" Gao Ling suddenly asked curiously again. Maybe she didn't notice that she seemed to have more problems today.
"I think Chief Gao, you should like to drink jasmine tea, so I bought this one, and this jasmine tea is also very refreshing. Chief Gao, you often work overtime and take a nap for a while, and you need to drink some tea to refresh yourself."
"Yes, I do like to drink jasmine tea, but I'm curious how you know I would like this?" Gao Ling said in confusion. She was busy with work and almost never bought jasmine tea to make it herself, nor did she ask the people below to prepare it for her. She just drank the tea provided by the office. Although it was not delicious, she always dealt with it casually. Anyway, it could quench her thirst and refresh her mind. Today, Huang Anguo prepared this jasmine tea for her, which surprised her.
"I can see half of it, half guess." Huang Anguo said with a smile.
"Oh, how do you look at it, how do you guess it, I really want to know." Gao Ling also became interested and said excitedly.
"Haha, just follow that." Huang Anguo pointed to the pot of jasmine flowers in the corner of the wall and said, "I found that no matter how tired you are at work, you will spare some time to carefully care for the pot of jasmine flowers. It feels like your baby. The so-called love for the house and the black flowers, I guess if you also like to drink jasmine tea, it's that simple."
"You are very careful." Gao Ling praised. In addition to a touch of humanity, the look at Huang Anguo's eyes added to a touch of glory. "I can only say that I am lucky, and I will guess it just by guessing it." Huang Anguo smiled calmly, without any compliment. In his opinion, this was not something to be proud of.
"It's not just luck to be able to guess. You said that my pot of flowers has been here for several months. Others have become a habit of watering this flower every day. If you get used to it for a long time, you will ignore it. No one will find that I have this hobby like you." Gao Ling disagreed.
"Actually, they might be able to guess, but they just didn't do it."
