Zhao Xiaolan nodded: "Of course, but you have to be very cautious. After all, Chu Heng and Tang Shusen have been spending too much time together. You must..."
"Okay, I understand, you don't need to worry about this." Luo Fei interrupted Zhao Xiaolan impatiently.
Zhao Xiaolan stopped talking.
After waking up from his nap in the afternoon, Luo Fei went to the study, opened the bookcase, and took out something wrapped in silk and satin. He opened it and found a small photo frame. He looked at it, thought for a while, and then placed the photo frame on the desk.
Immediately, an unpredictable smile appeared on Luo Fei's face...
At around 5 p.m., Chu Heng was just about to go out when his cell phone rang. He saw it was Tang Shusen and answered the call.
"Lao Chu, Ah Chao went to the Northeast a few days ago and brought back a good perennial wild ginseng. I asked your sister-in-law to make a personal ginseng and turtle soup. Come to my house in the evening and we will nourish and nourish together and have a few drinks by the way." Tang Shusen
Said enthusiastically.
Chu Heng frowned and was about to go to Luo Fei's house to read books. Why did Tang Shusen let him go to his house to drink ginseng and turtle soup?
Since you have already agreed to Luo Fei, you can't change it anymore.
But Tang Shusen cannot be allowed to know about this, otherwise with his suspicious character, he will definitely think too much.
Chu Heng's mind flashed, and then he said in a weak and tired tone: "Secretary Tang, it's such a pity, I can't make it."
"how?"
"Last night I turned on the air conditioner when I went to bed. As a result, up to this morning, I have been feeling sore all over, dizzy, with a runny nose and sneezing. I just took medicine and am so drowsy that I can't open my eyes...
"
"Oh, that's unfortunate. In that case, just take a good rest at home."
"Well, okay, I'll take a nap and check. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the hospital for fluid transfusion tomorrow."
Tang Shusen hung up the phone, Chu Heng laughed silently, and then went out.
Half an hour later, Chu Heng appeared at Luo Fei's home, and Luo Fei and Zhao Xiaolan greeted him warmly.
At this time, Zhao Xiaolan put a lot of cosmetics on her face, covering the traces of Luo Fei's beating, making it almost invisible.
Luo Fei immediately called Chu Heng to the study.
Entering the study room, Chu Heng looked at the bookcases on the entire wall and said, "Mayor Luo's family really has a lot of books. If outsiders don't know your identity and come here, it's because you are a scholar."
Luo Fei chuckled and said, "Minister Chu, you are the first person besides my family to enter my study."
"Rongqing, honored."
Luo Fei then opened the bookcase, took out a few thread-bound books and put them on the coffee table: "Minister Chu will appreciate them first, and I will get some tea to drink."
After speaking, Luo Fei went out.
Chu Heng sat down and was about to flip through the book when he raised his head and casually glanced at the desk next to him.
At this sight, Chu Heng's eyes stopped.
Because he saw a picture frame with four people in it, two men and two women.
Chu Heng then walked over to take a look.
Among these four people, three were known to Chu Heng, namely Guan Xinmin, Luo Fei and Zhao Xiaolan. The other woman looked elegant and was about the same age as Guan Xinmin.
In the photo, four people were sitting on a couch, Luo Fei and Guan Xinmin were sitting in the middle, Zhao Xiaolan and another woman were sitting on both sides, Zhao Xiaolan was holding Luo Fei's arm, and the other woman was holding Guan Xinmin's arm.
Obviously, that woman is Guan Xinmin's wife.
Everyone had relaxed and happy smiles on their faces, and Guan Xinmin and Luo Fei held their hands tightly.
Looking at the background of the photo, it seems to be in the living room at home, but it is obviously not Luo Fei's house.
So, it should be at Guan Xinmin's home in the capital.
Chu Heng was suddenly surprised. When did Luo Fei and his wife meet Guan Xinmin and his wife?
Chu Heng looked at the photo with his eyes wide open, and then saw a time in the lower right corner of the photo.
Looking at the time, Chu Heng couldn't help but trembled. The time was very early, before Guan Xinmin took office in Jiangdong Province.
This unexpected discovery shocked Chu Heng deeply. Damn it, it turned out that Luo Fei and Guan Xinmin had known each other for a long time. Otherwise, they had known each other and had a close relationship. They could even visit his home with his wife and even take photos with each other.
And so close.
Chu Heng's heart was churning violently. Guan Xinmin was the second-in-command in Jiangdong who landed from the capital. According to his background and resume, he was very likely to become the first-in-command in the next step. It was really unexpected that Luo Fei had such a close relationship with Guan Xinmin.
More than I expected.
In this way, Luo Fei's next step will be bright.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside. Chu Heng hurriedly went back and sat down, looking down at his book as if he was concentrating.
Immediately, the study door opened, and Luo Fei came in with good tea.
Putting down the tea leaves, Luo Fei went to the desk. Chu Heng raised his eyelids and saw Luo Fei casually snapping down the photo frame.
Then Luo Fei turned around and Chu Heng hurriedly lowered his eyelids.
Then Luo Fei started making tea.
Chu Heng was absentmindedly flipping through the book and thinking about it. Luo Fei just said that no one else came into the study except his family. Therefore, he put this photo in the study just for his own enjoyment and did not want anyone to see it.
.
His action of snapping the photo frame just now also illustrates this point.
It seems that in Jiangzhou, very few people know about the relationship between Luo Fei and Guan Xinmin. No one even knows about it except Zhao Xiaolan.
But I discovered it accidentally today.
Chu Heng then thought again, did Luo Fei do this on purpose, inviting him to the study and letting him see the photo, so as to accelerate his pace towards him?
But I think this is unlikely. The topic of book appreciation today was caused by my own reading. I was the leader. Luo Fei only mentioned it in passing. If he had such intention, he would have taken the initiative to bring up this topic.
Also, judging from Luo Fei's action of snapping the photo frame, he probably didn't want him to see it, but he was just negligent.
Thinking of this, Chu Heng couldn't help but secretly nod, well, it seems that Luo Fei wanted to keep this matter secret, but he accidentally discovered it.
This made Chu Heng feel that Luo Fei was very careful in keeping the matter secret.
Luo Fei obviously had deep considerations in doing this. This consideration came from Guan Xinmin on the one hand, and himself on the other.
This would obviously be beneficial to both of them.
This unexpected discovery made Chu Heng feel shocked and excited at the same time. It seemed that he needed to deepen his relationship with Luo Fei.
Luo Fei is currently trying to win over him, so he must not let go of such an excellent opportunity.
Chu Heng secretly made a decision, um, to speed up and get closer to Luo Fei.
Of course, while getting closer to Luo Fei, we should also try our best to maintain the relationship with Tang Shusen. It is best to have both sides. After all, Luo Fei and Tang Shusen are allies now.
Of course, the move towards Luo Fei must be done in a hidden way so that Tang Shusen cannot detect it.
Of course, if one day Luo Fei and Tang Shusen had a conflict of fundamental interests, he would obviously not be able to remain neutral.
Since you can't be neutral, you have to choose a side.
As for how to stand in line, Chu Heng felt conflicted in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help but want to lean towards Luo Fei.
This seems to be related to the discovery just now.
Luo Fei paid attention to Chu Heng's expression while making tea. He seemed to be concentrating on reading, but his brows were sometimes slightly wrinkled and sometimes relaxed. He was obviously absent-minded. Knowing what he was thinking about, he couldn't help but smile faintly. Well, this guy saw that
I framed the photo, and my heart was in turmoil.
