"Alas..." Wu Ziyou sighed: "Okay, don't be angry, can I apologize to you?"
"No!" Zhao Huan snorted: "Wu Ziyou, let me ask you, are you tired of me? Do you want to dump me?"
"Where do you start talking about this!" Wu Ziyou was stunned for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, how could I dump you?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Wu Ziyou, you have become more and more indifferent to me recently. You are clearly annoying me." As he spoke, Zhao Huan's tears flowed out: "You heartless thing, I will follow you wholeheartedly.
, but you treat me like this... wuwu..." Zhao Huan cried louder and louder.
"Why are you still crying?" Wu Ziyou stood up, walked to the bed, and put his arm around Zhao Huan's shoulders: "Okay, stop crying..."
Wu Ziyou swayed and almost fell to the ground: "Zhao Huan, don't you know who I am? I am sincere to you... If you don't believe it, we will register tomorrow and get the marriage certificate tomorrow.
!”
Zhao Huan was stunned immediately and stopped crying: "You...are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true? Now that the Civil Affairs Bureau is off work, we can only go there tomorrow. I'll register with you tomorrow morning!" Wu Ziyou said.
"You...why do I think you are lying to me?" Zhao Huan didn't believe it.
"How could I lie to you!" Wu Ziyou said with a bitter smile: "I've been in a bad mood recently, so I've been a little cold towards you. I apologize to you and promise not to make you angry again in the future! I swear!"
As he spoke, Wu Ziyou raised his right hand and swore a poisonous oath.
Zhao Huan pouted: "Then I will trust you again... If you dare to lie to me, I will never forgive you!"
"Just rest assured, I will never lie to you!" Wu Ziyou put his arms around Zhao Huan. This time, Zhao Huan did not push Wu Ziyou away, but lay in Wu Ziyou's arms.
"Old Wu, why are you in a bad mood?" Zhao Huan asked.
"It's not because of the matter of Party Secretary." Wu Ziyou sighed: "Ma Xiaoyao was transferred to the county as deputy county magistrate. According to previous regulations, I should take over the position of Party Secretary, but... the county leaders don't seem to
The plan is for me to take over as party secretary..."
"Why!" Zhao Huan was unhappy: "You must be capable and qualified, so why should the county leaders not let you take over as party secretary?"
"Why? Just because I have no background! No backing!" Wu Ziyou shook his head slightly.
"In this case, you can buy some gifts and visit Ma Xiaoyao tomorrow and ask Ma Xiaoyao to help you. He is now the deputy county magistrate, so he should be able to help you." Zhao Huan rolled his eyes and thought of an idea.
"Impossible..." Wu Ziyou said: "I have plotted against Ma Xiaoyao before. Although Ma Xiaoyao has forgiven me, he has also become cold towards me. If I go and beg him, he will definitely not help me."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Zhao Huan said: "Old Wu, if you try, you will at least have a chance of success. If you give up, you will definitely not succeed."
"It's useless. Even if Ma Xiaoyao is willing to help me, I can't take over as party secretary." Wu Ziyou said.
"You have no confidence in yourself..." Zhao Huan said with a frown.
"It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, but that I..." At this point, Wu Ziyou stopped.
Zhao Huan looked at Wu Ziyou: "Old Wu, are you hiding something from me?"
"I..." Wu Ziyou opened his mouth: "There is one thing... Zhao Huan, I tell you, you must keep it a secret from me."
"You still don't trust me." Zhao Huan glared at Wu Ziyou: "We have to register tomorrow! From now on, I will be your wife and the closest person to you!"
Wu Ziyou breathed out: "It's like this. I have offended the county magistrate Du Haiming... So even if Ma Xiaoyao is willing to help me, Du Haiming will not agree. With Du Haiming standing in the way, it is impossible for me to take over the position of party committee secretary."
"Why did you offend County Magistrate Du Haiming?" Zhao Huan asked.
"It's a long story... When I was working as the office director of the county government, I accidentally discovered that Du Haiming was messing around with Li Mei. Oh, Li Mei was the director of the county government clinic. She was in her thirties.
She was pretty... Later, I was selected by Li Ming and transferred to Gaohe Township to become the township head. According to Li Ming's instructions, I secretly plotted against Ma Xiaoyao, but Ma Xiaoyao later found out... After the incident was revealed, Li Ming treated me
I was very dissatisfied and threatened to remove me from my post. Later, I really had no choice, so I went to the county magistrate Du Haiming and threatened him with Li Mei's incident. He had no choice but to come forward to protect me. In this way, I could continue to stay in Gaohe Township as a township official.
Long." Wu Ziyou recounted what happened.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "So that's it...Old Wu, you can threaten Du Haiming again and ask Du Haiming to help you become the party committee secretary of Gaohe Township!"
Wu Ziyou's face twitched: "You are thinking too simply. Who is Du Haiming? How can you let me continue to threaten you? The last time I went to him, it was purely a matter of luck. If I go to him again this time, I will definitely
I completely angered Du Haiming, and when the time comes, Du Haiming still doesn’t know how to retaliate against me!"
"He dares!" Zhao Huan snorted: "Du Haiming still dares to take revenge on you, so you should expose the fact that he has a lover and scare him to death!"
"What you said is so easy...not to mention that if you do this, you will become a mortal enemy of Du Haiming. With Du Haiming's temperament, he will definitely not let it go. By then, I will be in bad luck. Also, even if I
I want to report Du Haiming, but I have no evidence at all. My words alone cannot bring down Du Haiming," Wu Ziyou said.
"Then... then you go and ask Du Haiming to forgive you..." Zhao Huan said.
Wu Ziyou grinned: "Du Haiming is a person who loves to hold grudges. I have touched his bottom line. Even if I beg for mercy, he will not forgive me."
"Then... what should we do?" Zhao Huan frowned. Zhao Huan is a very ambitious woman. She wants Wu Ziyou to be promoted. Only when Wu Ziyou becomes prosperous can she, Zhao Huan, live a dignified and comfortable life.
"What else can we do? Live every day honestly and forget about the position of Party Secretary." Wu Ziyou said with a bitter smile.
Zhao Huan lowered his head and kept thinking about ways in his heart.
"Okay, let's eat." Wu Ziyou patted Zhao Huan on the shoulder.
"Well... you can eat first. The chicken soup is still simmering in the kitchen. I'll go and see if it's ready." After saying that, Zhao Huan got up and walked out of the room.
Wu Ziyou shook his head, pulled out his chair and sat down, picked up his wine glass and started drinking.
…
This morning.
Ma Xiaoyao was sitting in his office, thinking about funds for road construction.
After pondering for a long time, Ma Xiaoyao picked up the phone and dialed Pete's number: "Boss Pete, this is Ma Xiaoyao."
"Oh...it's you, what do you want from me?" Peter asked doubtfully.
"Um...where are you now?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"We are discussing business in the province," said Peter.
"You have gone to the province, so when will you return to Dongcheng County?" Ma Xiaoyao then asked.
"Dongcheng County? I won't go back for the time being." Peter said: "I am busy with a big business at this time, and I will not be able to return to Dongcheng County in a short time."
"Ah...that's it..." Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"I said, what do you want from me?" Peter asked.
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth: "That's right, I want to make a deal with you."
"Deal? What deal?" Peter didn't understand.
"It's like this. I am now rectifying Dongcheng County and improving its reputation, thereby attracting a large number of investors... In less than two years, Dongcheng County will become a well-known economically strong county..." Ma Xiaoyao said: "Pete
Sir, I invite you to invest in Dongcheng County. The return will definitely be huge... I can also promise to reduce your tax for three years and provide you with many preferential policies. You must have heard that I am now the deputy county official.
Chairman, and I have a very close relationship with Secretary Cheng of the County Party Committee, so I am fully capable of fulfilling my promise."
"Is this such a good thing?" Peter smiled and said: "As the saying goes, there is no free pie in the sky. You shouldn't give me tax relief for no reason, right?"
"Uh..." Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "Of course, I have a small condition."
"What conditions?" Peter asked.
"It's very simple. Dongcheng County is building roads recently, but there is a shortfall in funds... I would like to ask Mr. Peter to sponsor some..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"So that's it..." Peter curled his lips: "How much money do you lack?"
Ma Xiaoyao thought for a while: "About 30 million..."
"Thirty million?" Peter was startled: "That's too much, I'm sorry, I don't have that much money."
"Mr. Peter..." Ma Xiaoyao just started, but was interrupted by Peter.
"Stop talking, I won't take the money. As for the tax exemption, forget it. I don't plan to make too many investments in Dongcheng County at all." Peter's tone was very decisive.
Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched. At this moment, he heard a woman's voice coming from the other end of the phone. Ma Xiaoyao was startled: "Mr. Peter, do you have a guest over there?"
"Oh, it's my wife..." Pete said casually.
"Your wife?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't she abroad?"
"She missed me, so she came here to see me...Okay, I have something else to do here, so I won't tell you." After saying that, Peter was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait!" Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly: "Mr. Peter, we are friends after all. Your wife is from abroad, and I should go and visit... By the way, I will treat your wife to a meal, but there is a problem with me.
If you drink too much, you will talk nonsense, and I am worried that I will say something inappropriate..."
