Time flies so fast, and it has entered December before we know it. The weather has become extremely cold. Just yesterday, there was a heavy snowfall, covering the entire city. Standing on a high place, you can look around.
, everything is a vast expanse of white, as if entering the kingdom of snow.
During this period of time, Ma Xiaoyao lived a very comfortable life. To describe it in one word, it is "spring breeze proud".
Since Ma Xiaoyao became the acting mayor, the power in his hands has increased several times. No matter who sees Ma Xiaoyao, they must respectfully call him "Mayor Ma."
Of course, Ma Xiaoyao also had bad moments. For example, Lu Haifeng, Qin Mingyue, and Sun Maoqi always fought against him, which made Ma Xiaoyao unable to get off the stage several times. However, Ma Xiaoyao was not a vegetarian, and he also began to use means to suppress him.
Lu Haifeng, Qin Mingyue and Sun Maoqi had several battles, and Ma Xiaoyao won most of them.
Perhaps they had suffered too much, but Lu Haifeng, Qin Mingyue and Sun Maoqi suddenly became smarter. The three of them secretly joined forces. On the surface, they were very respectful to Ma Xiaoyao, but secretly they made small moves, which made Ma Xiaoyao very frustrated.
This morning.
Ma Xiaoyao walked into Sun Maoqi's office with splayed steps, hands behind his back.
"Mayor Ma? Why are you here?" Sun Maoqi looked a little surprised.
"What? You don't welcome me?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Welcome, of course I welcome...Mayor Ma, please sit down." Sun Maoqi warmly greeted Ma Xiaoyao to sit down, and personally made Ma Xiaoyao a cup of tea.
Ma Xiaoyao picked up the tea cup and blew on the hot air from the cup, then brought it to his mouth and took a slow sip: "Deputy Mayor Sun, I heard that you have been very close to Vice Mayor Lu and Vice Mayor Qin recently.
"
"Ah... I just have normal interactions with Deputy Mayor Lu and Deputy Mayor Qin..."
"Just a normal relationship? No other ideas?"
"Mayor Ma was joking, what can I think? Vice Mayor Lu and Vice Mayor Qin and I are colleagues. We usually get together and chat when we have free time, that's all."
"Vice Mayor Sun, have I offended you?"
"Uh...no, Mayor Ma has offended me..."
"Since I didn't offend you, why do you always have trouble with me?"
"This...where do you start talking about this...I..."
"I am neither blind nor deaf. I know very well what you did behind my back."
"Uh... this... there must be some misunderstanding..."
"Deputy Mayor Sun, is your baby girl doing well in the orphanage?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly asked.
What Ma Xiaoyao said was so jumpy that Sun Maoqi was momentarily stunned.
"Deputy Mayor Sun, I respect you very much and don't want to do anything to hurt you, but... if you keep getting in trouble with me and push me to the edge, then I will have no choice but to do something excessive." Ma Xiaoyao said.
He put down the tea cup, stood up and left the office.
Sun Maoqi frowned slowly. He was not a fool. Of course he could hear the threat hidden in Ma Xiaoyao's words. If Sun Maoqi continued to do little things behind his back, Ma Xiaoyao would be rude to him and expose him about having an illegitimate daughter.
Come out...Sun Maoqi will be ruined by then...
"Alas..." Sun Maoqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have been caught by others, so I can only be obedient."
"Jingle Bell……"
The phone rang suddenly.
Sun Maoqi calmed down his troubled mind, then stood up and walked to his desk, reached out and grabbed the microphone: "Hello?"
"Old Sun, let's come out and have a meal together tonight." Lu Haifeng's hearty laughter came from the microphone: "Old Qin will also come in the evening, and then the three of us will have a good chat."
"I have something to do tonight and can't go." Sun Maoqi shook his head and refused.
"Uh... such a coincidence?" Lu Haifeng was stunned for a moment: "Is the matter important? If it is not very important, just push it away..."
"The matter is very important and cannot be pushed away." Sun Maoqi hesitated and said, "I have been very busy recently. I probably don't have time to have dinner with you and Vice Mayor Qin."
"...Old Sun, what's wrong with you..." Lu Haifeng asked doubtfully.
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first." Sun Maoqi didn't explain much, and hung up the phone after saying a few words. After being threatened by Ma Xiaoyao, Sun Maoqi made plans to talk to Lu Haifeng and Qin from now on.
Mingyue drew a clear line and became his executive deputy mayor, never to provoke the evil star Ma Xiaoyao again.
Ma Xiaoyao disintegrated the alliance between Sun Maoqi and Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue in just a few words. Without Sun Maoqi's secret support, Lu Haifeng and Qin Mingyue would not be able to jump much higher.
…
Since becoming the acting mayor, Ma Xiaoyao has started to have more social activities and gets drunk every night.
That night, Ma Xiaoyao was drunk again. He came home in a daze, without taking a shower or brushing his teeth. He went to bed directly. In the middle of the night, Ma Xiaoyao was woken up by thirst. He shook his heavy head.
Then he got off the bed, opened the door and walked out, found a cup, took a glass of water and started drinking.
"Brother Ma, are you awake?" Lei Dazhuang heard the noise and walked out of the bedroom.
"Oh, I've disturbed you." Ma Xiaoyao smiled sheepishly: "I'm a little thirsty, so I came out to drink some water."
"Brother Ma, there are a few words I don't know whether to say or not." Lei Dazhuang looked hesitant.
"Tell me, what can't you say?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Brother Ma, you get drunk every night... This is not good for your health..." Lei Dazhuang said all the words he had been holding back for several days: "Look at how ugly your face is now."
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "You think I am willing to get drunk... There are some entertainments that cannot be turned down. I have just become the acting mayor. People congratulate me and invite me to dinner. If I refuse, I will
It will make people misunderstand that I am putting on airs, and over time, people will alienate me..."
"But..." Lei Dazhuang still wanted to speak.
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know what I know, it's just these few days. After this period of time passes, I can have some peace and quiet. Okay, go back to sleep." Ma Xiaoyao put down the water glass and turned around.
Went into the bedroom.
Looking at Ma Xiaoyao's leaving figure, Lei Dazhuang sighed slightly in his heart, it's not easy for Brother Ma to be an official.
…
Early in the morning, Ma Xiaoyao was awakened by a burst of rapid ringtones from his cell phone. He tried to open his eyes, reached out and groped for his cell phone, and after connecting it, he put it to his ear: "Hello..."
"Brother Ma, Huzi and Gangzi are missing!" A woman's anxious voice came from the mobile phone.
"Xiaoyun?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly woke up: "What did you say? Huzi and Gangzi are missing?"
"Yes, Huzi and Gangzi have been missing for a day and a night... I can't get through on the phone... I can't find them everywhere I look..." Xiaoyun said anxiously.
Ma Xiaoyao sat up from the bed: "Don't worry, tell me what's going on! How did the good Huzi and Gangzi disappear?"
"It's like this...the night before yesterday, Huzi and Gangzi said they would go out to have dinner with their clients...but they haven't come back yet. I called them on my cell phone, but it was turned off. I went out to look for them and found Huzi and Gangzi.
I searched all possible places, but still couldn't find Huzi and Gangzi... In the end, I had no choice, so I called you... Brother Ma, do you think anything will happen to Huzi and Gangzi?
"Xiao Yun said with a crying voice.
"Don't make blind guesses!" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Huzi and Gangzi will be fine..." Ma Xiaoyao thought secretly, Huzi and Gangzi would not lose contact for no reason, they must have met each other.
What happened... Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoyao frowned even more: "Xiaoyun, I can't explain it clearly on the phone. You'd better come out. I have something to ask you in person."
"Okay, I'll go find you right away." Xiaoyun responded hurriedly.
…
Half an hour later.
Ma Xiaoyao and Xiaoyun met.
"Tell me in detail what happened before and after Gangzi and Huzi disappeared. Remember, there must be no mistakes or omissions at all." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"The night before yesterday, Gangzi and Huzi told me that they couldn't send me home that night because they had an appointment with a very important client for dinner... I didn't take it seriously at the time, but the next day
I didn't see Gangzi or Huzi for a whole day, so I called Gangzi and Huzi, but their mobile phones were both turned off... I waited until dark, but I didn't see Huzi and Gangzi either.
, I was a little anxious at this time. Ever since I started doing business with Gangzi and Huzi, no matter what they do, they will say hello to me in advance and will never disappear for no reason... I'm going out.
I looked for them and searched all the places they could go, but found nothing... Finally, I had no choice but to call you..." Xiaoyun told the story in detail.
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "So...Gangzi and Huzi disappeared while going out to meet clients?"
Xiaoyun nodded.
"Who is that customer? What's his name? What does he do?" Ma Xiaoyao asked a series of questions.
"His name is Zhou Xiong. He is in his forties and has a gentle appearance. He runs a shopping mall and wants to cooperate with our supermarket to sell some things. Huzi and Gangzi attach great importance to this boss Zhou and invite him every three to five.
Eat." Xiaoyun said.
"Your surname is Zhou? He runs a shopping mall?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned slowly.
Xiaoyun glanced at Ma Xiaoyao: "After Gangzi and Huzi disappeared, I went to find that boss Zhou..."
Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "What did he say?"
"He said that Gangzi and Huzi indeed invited him to dinner, and they continued to eat until about nine o'clock in the evening, and then he separated from Gangzi and Huzi. As for where Gangzi and Huzi went later, he didn't know
." Xiaoyun said.
"Where does Boss Zhou live this time?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"I live in Suhang Villa, Villa No. 5." Xiaoyun said.
