Xing Tian laughed and said, "I did say it, but unfortunately the secretary didn't believe Comrade Mo Yan. You, a female comrade, have such a big appetite. He insisted that I was reluctant to spend money, so I deliberately came back to slander you, a female comrade, for eating too much. Comrade Mo Yan, do you think I am wronged? Where can I seek justice?"

"That's right. Look at our Niuniu, she's skinny, except for a little bit of flesh on her face. Her arms are so thin. And Comrade Mo Yan, it's hard to say whether he weighs 90 kilograms or not. How could he possibly eat all the dishes you mentioned in one meal?"

Jiang Zhenguo looked annoyed.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you have a meal with Comrade Mo Yan and Niu Niu in person and you will know? Comrade Mo Yan, you must prove it to me. I didn't lie to the secretary."

"Don't provoke me. If you do, I will really invite Comrade Mo Yan and classmate Niuniu to have a meal together. I just don't know if Comrade Mo Yan is willing to have a meal with an old man like me."

"Secretary Huang, you are too polite. It is our honor to have you treat us to a meal. However, I think you can really trust what Director Xing said. He really didn't lie to you. I am a big eater. Don't let me spend all your monthly salary on one meal."

"Then I want to see how comrade Mo Yan's big appetite works. Don't worry, if my salary is not enough, I can also take Lao Xing's. No matter what, you and Niuniu are in Shanghai, we are the host, we have to do our best to be a good host."

Mo Yan could tell that this was a lunch invitation that was hard to refuse.

So he simply agreed, "Okay, then my son and I will be honored to decline. Thank you Secretary Huang for your hospitality."

"Hey, did that old fellow Jiang Zhenguo tell you, Comrade Mo Yan, that we have been classmates for many years and are also old brothers and old friends? You call him Uncle Jiang and call me Secretary Huang, which seems so strange. If you don't mind, let me be Uncle Huang for once."

"Hello, Uncle Huang. It's not that I don't call you Uncle Huang. I'm just shy and embarrassed to call you that. I'm also afraid that you'll find it rude. In the village, my uncles call me A Yan. If you don't mind, call me A Yan. Don't call me Comrade Mo Yan."

"That's great! That's right. We are not strangers, so we should get closer. Come here, Niuniu, come to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang will give you a small gift, okay?"

Pei Zaizai looked at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan motioned for her to come over.

Pei Zaizai ran over and said, "Hello, Grandpa Huang. What do you want to give me?"

"Ding ding ding ding, look! This is it, do you like it?"

Huang Guoquan took out a small pocket watch with a chain from his coat pocket.

Not an adult model.

The body of the pocket watch beneath the bronze bracelet is about 5 cm in diameter.

Huang Guoquan put it directly around Zaizai's neck, and the length of the chain was just enough to reach his chest.

There is a small clip in the middle. With a slight push, the cover on the front of the pocket watch pops open.

The dial with silver background and golden hands is revealed.

The second hand inside is moving the words diligently!

There is a place on the inside of the opened cover where you can put photos, but it is empty now.

"Niuniu, I heard that you took a lot of photos yesterday. Look, we can put a headshot of Niuniu here. When the photos are developed, pick the one that Niuniu likes the most, cut it out, and put it here. No matter who sees this pocket watch in the future, they will know that this watch belongs to our Niuniu."

"Niuniu, do you like it?"

It’s hard to say that Pei Zaizai doesn’t like it.

She was not a real child. She could see that the minutes, seconds and hour hands on the pocket watch were made of real gold.

The silver surface is also made of real silver.

The gold needles and silver dial, plus the antique red copper surface of the outer case, regardless of whether this watch is an antique or not, it is quite valuable as a gift.

"Mom, this gift from Grandpa Huang is so precious, can I accept it?"

Mo Yan looked at the new watch on her wrist which she had just received the night before.

As a mother, she hasn’t even figured out where to get a watch for her cub!

As a result, Huang Guoquan had prepared the pocket watches in advance.

Mo Yan wouldn't believe it if she said it wasn't planned long ago.

After all, this pocket watch, whether it is the length of the chain or the size of the pocket watch, you can tell that it is a watch specially made for children.

And it's still a good item that's a bit old.

These days, it is easy to find a finely crafted watch for adults, but it is quite difficult to find a watch or pocket watch suitable for children.

After all, a watch is a valuable item no matter how you look at it. Who would prepare one for their child?

It was only the wealthy families in the past.

Moreover, only wealthy families who like imported items may have one or two such treasures.

It's hard to believe that Huang Guoquan found such a pocket watch as a gift from somewhere.

This is not just a matter of whether the pocket watch itself is valuable or not. The care and thought put into it are much more valuable than the pocket watch itself.

Mo Yan knew clearly that these were just sugar-coated bullets to buy her secrets, but she had to admit that they were effective.

"Grandpa Huang found this especially for you. It wasn't easy, so of course you have to accept it. Why don't you thank Grandpa Huang?"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. My baby likes it so much. My baby is too young and I can't buy a watch for him to wear. Grandpa Huang gave me this neck-hanging pocket watch. It's so beautiful. Now my baby and mom can use the watch to tell time. Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

As he spoke, Pei Zaizai hugged Huang Guoquan, looking extremely happy.

Seeing that his feelings were understood by the mother and daughter, Huang Guoquan felt that all the favors he had done in finding the pocket watch were worth it.

Huang Guoquan had made preparations for this since he first learned that Mo Yan and Zi Zi came to Shanghai just to buy watches.

He wasn't sure if he would need this, but he was used to it and prepared everything in advance.

Now it seems that this good habit over the years has really helped a lot.

This pocket watch played a role far beyond its own value.

If the gift is something that both of you need and like, then the effect will be doubled.

As soon as Huang Guoquan heard Mo Yan nod and let Pei Zaizai accept it, two words came to his mind clearly: Done.

Xing Tian was dumbfounded. When did Secretary Huang prepare this?

Even he doesn't know!

Secretary Huang has the nerve to say that Jiang Zhenguo is not kind enough, when didn’t Secretary Huang himself hide the truth from him?

woo woo woo...

What should I do? I feel like I, a top secretary, can’t even keep up with my boss! How can I help my boss solve problems in the future?

It’s so difficult to be a chief secretary these days!
