During the month and a half that Tang Peng was missing, Chu Liangxiao had nightmares almost every night.
She dreamed that Tang Peng was standing in front of her window covered in blood, his eyes glowing green, looking at her motionless, until she woke up covered in cold sweat, those eyes were full of blood.
The strange eyes seemed to be still hidden somewhere, staring at her.
Ever since she was little, Chu Liangxiao has never been so scared.
She knew that this was all due to guilt: if she hadn't helped Tang Peng, he would still be alive and kicking in Shencheng, and she would have probably lived in Liuye Community several times.
But then again, who among the high-ranking officials who play politics have never done anything untoward?
Not to mention that Chu Liangxiao was kind-hearted in introducing Tang Peng to Iraq this time. She just deliberately framed him. Ordinarily, she shouldn't feel this way.
But in fact, she did feel this way, scared, lonely, and longing for a man to accompany her at night and provide her with a warm embrace.
If Chu Liangxiao didn't accept Tang Peng, no matter how much she hated He Yingqiang's cheating, she would definitely accept him in this state.
However, when a woman is disappointed in her husband and 'taste' another man who is more suitable for her, she will never think of her husband again, just like Chu Liangxiao now.
…
When Chu Liangxiao returned to Villa No. 2 of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, it was already past nine in the evening. With her tired legs, she walked into the Villa of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee.
Sister-in-law Wang (a housekeeping staff arranged by the city government) who had been waiting for her quickly came up to her, took the bag from her hand, and whispered: "Mayor Chu, you haven't eaten yet? I'll cook for you tonight.
I ordered your favorite eight-treasure lotus seed porridge, sweet and sour fish, and sea cucumber..."
Chu Liangxiao forced a smile and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law Wang, I have had dinner outside."
Although Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened, she could tell that Chu Liangxiao had never smiled happily in the past month and a half, and her appetite was not very good. She wanted to express some concern for her, but in the end she nodded.
After putting on her slippers, Chu Liangxiao did not go to the bedroom as usual after returning home. Instead, she sat on the sofa, leaning on the sofa, pinching her eyebrows with her left hand, and closed her eyes.
"Mayor Chu, I have put water in the bathtub. The water is a little hot - I'm going to rest first."
After making a cup of jasmine tea for Chu Liangxiao, Mrs. Wang walked into her bedroom lightly.
With the slight sound of the door closing, the sixty-seven-square-meter living room fell into silence again. Only the pendulum of the clock in the corner made a slight clicking sound.
The living room was luxuriously decorated but still dignified. The lights were bright and the temperature was suitable, but Chu Liangxiao felt very cold all over.
Coldness of heart is the kind of coldness caused by physical and mental loneliness.
Chu Liangxiao curled up her legs, slumped down on the sofa, and began to think carefully about what happened during the day.
…
Early this morning, Chu Liangxiao received a call from Li Feng, the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, asking her to attend the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
Chu Liangxiao knew very well why the provincial party committee held this enlarged meeting.
Last night, there was a premeditated assassination of Tang Wenju in Spring City Square. Chu Liangxiao got the news as soon as possible, and then gave the correct instructions, asking the Shencheng police to pursue the matter with all their strength.
At the same time, Chu Liangxiao also heard from the Municipal Bureau that Secretary Fang of the Provincial Party Committee was also present.
After learning that Fang Yunhui was also at the shooting scene, Chu Liangxiao had a premonition that he would be furious. It was reasonable to hold this enlarged meeting early this morning.
To this day, Chu Liangxiao can still remember the way Fang Yunhui was guarding so many senior officials above the main hall level and slamming the table hard.
Fang Yunhui has always been known as an elegant and academic leader.
But today, the well-educated Fang Yunhui got angry and unceremoniously criticized the leader in charge of the public security office: In the dignified northeastern provincial capital, three violent incidents occurred one after another in less than a week, including
Two cases related to firearms (the other one was about Cheng Tianli and Mo Linglong). Did the provincial police department, which has thousands of elite police officers, play the role it should play!?
If it weren't for the "confession" attitude of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department and others, Fang Yunhui would probably be able to say the word "trash".
After training the police, Fang Yunhui did not treat Chu Liangxiao politely because she was a lesbian and had done outstanding work after taking over the Shenzhen City Government. He bluntly said that she was responsible for this matter.
The reason is simple. When she knew that someone (the Tang family) was at the forefront, she actually approved him to hold a press conference in Spring City Square. Wasn't this intentional to cause trouble for everyone?
Regarding Fang Yunhui's criticism, Chu Liangxiao accepted it humbly and made a profound self-examination in public.
In fact, when she heard the news that someone wanted to kill Old Tang at the press conference, Chu Liangxiao regretted it and became scared.
Therefore, what Chu Liangxiao did when he reviewed this time was without any reluctance.
After being reprimanded by the provincial party committee, Chu Liangxiao received two more guests in the afternoon: Xing Yasi, president of Shencheng Poly Group, and Pan Dongdong, general manager of Fuzui Group.
The two men approached Chu Liangxiao over a private matter: the transfer of shares of Fuzui Group, and Chu Liangxiao, as the spokesperson of Beibu Gulf Group in Shenyang, was also qualified to participate in it.
Before Xing Yasi and Pan Dongdong came to Chu Liangxiao, they had already discussed the general matter of the equity transfer: Pan Dongdong, on behalf of Tang Peng, transferred most of his equity to Xing Yasi at a high price.
As a result, Tang Peng, who originally owned 56% of Fuzui Group, only retained 9% (the same as Beibu Gulf Group) when Xing Yasi took over.
The Poly Group suddenly became the largest shareholder of Fuzui Group, controlling 38% of the shares, three points higher than the 35% of Mendarhan Petroleum Company.
As expected, Xing Yasi became the new chairman of Fuzui Group.
To be honest, Chu Liangxiao really didn't agree with Pan Dongdong's transfer of equity, and he was sure that Mr. Pan didn't want to do this at all.
But she also knew that Pan Dongdong's transfer of equity should have been negotiated with Old Tang: as Xing Yasi became the chairman of Fuzui Group, those who had ideas for the group would definitely change their targets and no longer embarrass Old Tang.
.
Thinking of how high-spirited Tang Peng was when he became the chairman of Fuzui Group, and then think about it now...
Chu Liangxiao felt bitter in her mouth and even hated herself: If Tang Peng had not been encouraged to go to Iraq, how could these terrible things have happened?
It's a good thing now that Tang Peng has become a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country.
"Oh, this is fine. If you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. At least your family is away from those conspiracies. Nine points of equity and annual dividends are enough for them to live a wealthy life. But, what are you doing?
where is it?"
I don't know how long it took before Chu Liangxiao sighed softly, pulled his somewhat numb feet out from under his body, and walked off the sofa.
After arriving at the bedroom on the second floor, Chu Liangxiao took off his coat, walked to the closet, opened it, and reached for his nightgown.
Chu Liangxiao's right hand just grabbed a nightgown, but put it down again, and took off a straight men's white shirt from the hanger.
This shirt was sold by Chu Liangxiao at the Armani brand store a few days ago when she was 'shopping incognito'.
In fact, after Chu Liangxiao had a conflict with her husband, there was no need to buy him any shirts and keep them at home - but she bought them anyway and hung them in the closet.
Maybe Mayor Chu bought this shirt just because he imagined that one day he could wear it on a guy named Tang?
Once a woman falls in love with a man, no matter what she does, when she sees a man's clothes while shopping, her first reaction is: Does he wear it appropriately?
The same goes for Chu Liangxiao.
Holding the shirt, Chu Liangxiao gave a bitter smile and murmured: "Perhaps, no one will wear this shirt again... Since you have no chance to wear it, then, I will wear it for you once.
"
Slowly closing the closet, Chu Liangxiao walked into the bathroom.
Since Tang Peng's accident, Chu Liangxiao would take a hot bath in the bathtub every night before going to bed, no matter how late.
She felt that when her whole body was soaked in hot water, she would feel relaxed for a moment and her mind would be particularly clear.
After soaking quietly in the bathtub for more than half an hour, Chu Liangxiao felt that she could fall asleep at any time, so she walked from the bathtub to the mirror.
In the mirror, the woman with a dignified and beautiful face still has a graceful figure, white, tender, delicate and elastic skin. It is hard to believe that she is already thirty-four years old.
Facing the mirror, Chu Liangxiao slowly dried herself and then put on the white shirt.
For a long time, Chu Liangxiao had scorned the term "uniform x temptation", thinking that it was just perverted propaganda by Japanese brats: If it wasn't just wearing a uniform, a woman would still be the same woman, how could she be so attractive?
But when she put on the white shirt, she began to sincerely admire those little devils. They did have superior attainments in terms of sex.
"It turns out that I look so good wearing only a white shirt."
Chu Liangxiao stared blankly at herself in the mirror, her eyes beginning to blur: the loose white shirt, the hem just covered her plump and sexy buttocks, and the two white and slender thighs exposed, but exuded an radiance that even she herself could not
The temptation to resist.
With a chuckle, Chu Liangxiao swallowed, and then laughed out loud: "Haha, no matter how beautiful it is, what's the point of showing it to who? Are you just enjoying yourself?"
Shaking his head, Chu Liangxiao walked out of the bathroom wearing only that white shirt and looking at her beautiful little feet.
When she closed the bathroom door with her backhand, Chu Liangxiao suddenly froze, and her right hand that grabbed the shirt on her chest slowly let go.
The unconstrained white shirt slowly opened to both sides, revealing Chu Liangxiao's plump and charming breasts.
But she didn't see this at all, because her wide-open eyes were already covered by a figure.
