197. Chapter 197 Returning to the Municipal Government Compound
He is indeed a little proud, why not? On White Christmas Eve, the diaosi counterattacked Bai Fumei? Haha, this scene can only appear in bloody TV dramas, right?
"I know what you are thinking, but give up as soon as possible!" But the female mayor's next words immediately poured cold water on his fiery heart.
"But you have already agreed?" The expression on Tang Lin's face was very innocent, strange and struggling!
"When did you agree? There is no way!" The female mayor was startled and couldn't help but sit up straight and refused again with a very positive tone.
Tang Lin's face became even more innocent and struggling, "But...but you obviously brought it up on your own initiative. You are the mayor and a department-level cadre. How can you say that you won't admit it if you don't admit it?"
The female mayor had to look serious, "What do you want to do? Do you have to go against me today? I...when did I agree to you? How...is it possible!"
Tang Lin let out a long sigh, "Oh, you still asked my dad and mom if they thought you were too old..."
The female mayor was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red, "Oh...ahem...so that's what happened!"
Tang Lin immediately seized the opportunity to fight back, "What else do you think it is? Could it be that you..."
The female mayor had to raise her voice again, "Shut up now if you don't want to die!"
Tang Lin immediately raised his hands in surrender and remained silent, but his heart was so wonderful that he even hummed "Because of Love" to the rhythm of the music.
The female mayor was fascinated as she listened. She had set this song to play on a loop, and she would listen to it every day after get off work to relax herself.
Working during the day is one world, and working at night is another world. She doesn't want to be a woman who only knows about work, because she already has a new man in her heart.
Because how can love have vicissitudes of life?
So we are still young
Because love is in that place
There are still people hanging around and people coming and going.
The two sang together softly unconsciously, then looked at each other meaningfully, and then Tang Lin pulled the Tuhuan to the side and stopped by some strange mistake.
The female mayor was immersed in the beautiful singing, "Why did you stop?"
Tang Lin's eyes sparkled, "Ahem, shouldn't we stop the car for a kiss or something at this time?"
The female mayor gritted her silver teeth and took a deep breath, "Look at my eyes. Look, do you think I want to kiss you?" Tang Lin immediately shook his head approvingly, and then obediently drove the car back onto the main road.
…
Everyone was surprised when he returned to work at the city government the next day. Many people found that Tang Lin seemed to have changed, as if he had matured several years in a month.
To be specific, he is darker and thinner, and even his long, slender hands have become rough. However, standing in the snow with a clean white shirt and woolen suit, he is more conspicuous and different.
Almost everyone was talking about what happened last night and of course Tang Lin's return today, but Tang Lin still maintained his previous style, which was low-key and a bit confusing.
The only ones who talk a lot are Li Hongjie, who is working on the first floor, and Guo Ting, who works in the general office.
Li Hongjie looked at Tang Lin's tall back from a distance. The back was familiar yet unfamiliar. She didn't sleep well last night because she first saw Weibo and then searched for the video online. Of course, what she was watching was not that of a woman.
The mayor gave a short and exciting speech. What she looked at was the young man standing behind the female mayor who looked worse than a migrant worker.
Her tears immediately fell down for no apparent reason. She felt inexplicably sorry for him. She knew that he must have gone back to work as a laborer and never rested for a day.
Why didn't he tell her when he was in trouble?
Even if they no longer have physical relations, isn't it good to be siblings? She thought a lot at that moment, about her dead husband, herself, and Tang Lin.
Tang Lin turned around and walked straight towards her. She was suddenly a little flustered. She didn't know what Tang Lin meant, but Tang Lin quickly came to her, with a slight smile on his lips that he never showed to others easily, "Sister Li
, you don’t say hello when you see me, don’t you recognize me?”
A smile, with neat white teeth on his dark face.
The black and white are obvious, and the contrast spits out, making it look more dazzling.
"I thought you were no longer in Zhongzhou, but who knew you suddenly died again! It's so boring, where can I tell my sister?" There were other colleagues around who were looking over, so Li Hongjie still maintained her usual carefree attitude.
His style. He even rushed over and gave Tang Lin a big bear hug.
Now it's not that Tang Lin is eager to clear up the relationship with her, but that she is eager to clear Tang Lin's name, because during the time when Tang Lin disappeared, there was a rumor related to her: it was said that she kept Tang Lin under his care!
Although the two people greeting each other like this cannot completely stop the rumors, it can at least stop this unreliable topic.
After all, the city government is a place where people’s opinions are formidable!
Tang Lin hugged her tightly without saying anything, then separated and looked at her carefully, "Sister Li, has no one ever told you that you are prettier?"
Li Hongjie couldn't help but blush, "Go away, you're going to die as soon as you come back, just behave yourself, or you'll be kicked out again!" Tang Lin chuckled, then turned and left, but Li Hongjie quickly received a text message
: I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, a little late!
Li Hongjie's heart became inexplicably nervous, but she was not a little girl, nor was she a woman without sense of propriety. She did not expect to repeat the passion of that night with Tang Lin. She only hoped that they could continue to interact normally, and it was best to do so.
Siblings.
When I went upstairs, I happened to see Sun Zhenjun. Fatty Sun greeted him exaggeratedly even though he was far away, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Tang? He's back? Haha, good to come back, good to come back, everyone misses you all the time!"
Of course, no one would miss Tang Lin. Sun Zhenjun said this just to give him face, or in other words, this face was not given to him but to the female mayor who was beginning to gradually gain real power.
Even though the female mayor still has no position and has not gained enough allies, her status as standing committee member of the Municipal Party Committee and executive deputy mayor is enough to calm the restless hearts of many people below.
"Haha, Captain Sun is so polite. I'm very happy to be able to come back to work. I just wanted to ask you to report." Tang Lin responded naturally. In fact, the person who didn't want him to come back the most was Fatty Sun, because Tang Lin's hand
There is his weakness in it.
"Haha, why are you so polite to me? I'll give you the key. It's the same Magotan. It's been prepared for you!" Sun Zhenjun was well prepared and directly handed the car key back to Tang Lin.
Tang Lin said thank you and the two of them walked past each other.
40 days is not a long time, but Tang Lin is not the only one who has changed. Guo Ting has also changed, becoming more practical and responsible. Although she still has the natural superiority of the Guo family in the city government, it is obviously not as good as before.
It was a lot easier to get in touch with him. In fact, for Tang Lin, Guo Ting didn't really feel sorry for him, she even invited him out for dinner or something.
"Secretary Guo, I'm back!" Tang Lin greeted calmly.
A smile appeared on Guo Ting's face, "I know, I still use your original seat. I also applied for a new computer for you the day before yesterday. You try it, it's much faster than before!"
Tang Lin was stunned for a moment, then strode to the new computer. It turned out that he, a marginalized person, was still using a barely usable desktop computer and desktop monitor that had been discarded by others. Now it had a brand new look, a 23-inch Samsung LCD monitor and a brand new main chassis.
