We started today's lunch amidst everyone's laughter.
Chenchen was also infected by this atmosphere, and she soon became natural.
After eating, we said goodbye to Secretary Dong and several other members of the Standing Committee. Secretary Dong smiled and said to me: "Take Xiao Li to see this city. This place is the most suitable place for falling in love. Now that I know you
There are not many people, so there won’t be many opportunities like this in the future.”
I couldn't help but laugh, "Secretary Dong, your suggestion is good."
Chenchen blushed again next to her.
After they left, I asked Chenchen: "Now do you want to go back to rest or go around the streets here?"
But she asked me: "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"
I smiled and said to her: "When you come, of course I will put everything down."
She hurriedly said: "Then I have not affected your work? Then I'd better go back and rest, and you can do your own things in the afternoon."
I know she is doing this for my own good. In fact, there is something wrong with what I just said. I shouldn't have said that to her. Although I am indeed very busy, especially now, I need to spend a lot of time analyzing and studying some of the situations here.
But things at work can be adjusted completely. I can just spend more time working overtime next week.
But the words had already been spoken, and I knew Chenchen's character. At this time, I suddenly thought of an idea, "Chenchen, let's drive out in the afternoon. You can practice driving by the way, and I can also take this time to inspect the city."
The surrounding situation.”
She was very happy, "Is this okay?"
I smiled and said, "Of course. You will be my full-time driver this afternoon."
She also laughed, "Then you have to pay me a salary."
I laughed and said, "No problem. It's as much as you say."
She smiled brightly at me and said, "I'm joking with you, do you take it seriously? Then, let's go for a walk on the street now. You, Secretary Dong, have already said that after everyone here gets to know you, we won't be able to
Such an opportunity.”
I nodded, "Okay, let's go shopping first and then drive out. Chenchen, don't be too tired?"
She smiled and said, "Let me tell you, your car is really comfortable and exciting to drive. It's an automatic car, and it's still off-road."
I walked out of the compound with her, and I said to her: "That car is usually kept at home. If it is not used for a long time, it will get rusty. You can drive it if you want, and keep the gas ticket. I will give it to you when the time comes.
Reimburse."
She looked at me and said, "Are you going to let the government pay the bill?"
I smiled and said, "Who said that? This is the salary you gave me as a driver this afternoon."
She kept laughing, "Then I'll be rich."
I also laughed, "It's not you who got rich, okay? It's PetroChina and Sinopec."
She immediately came and took my arm, "I didn't expect you to be very humorous. Laugh, the jokes you tell me every day are very funny."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Chenchen, I can't make one joke every day."
She smiled and said: "Okay then, if you think of any jokes in the future, please take the initiative to tell them to me."
I gently hugged her waist and left immediately, "Chenchen, you are so kind."
She said: "You have never seen me when I have a bad temper. You must be mentally prepared."
I smiled and said, "It's okay. You can just get angry at me when you are in a bad mood. Not only will I not be angry, I will also come and talk to you and comfort you."
She looked at me, "Can you really do it?"
I suddenly felt that what I just said was a bit too full, so I hurriedly said: "I will try my best."
She smiled and said: "Smile, I like you like this. If you talk sweetly to make me happy, I will think you are fake."
I said: "Chenchen, you are really different. It is said that girls like to hear nice things. Even if they know that they are lying to you, they still like to hear nice things. You are better, you like to hear the truth."
She said: "I'm different. I'm not a student who just graduated from school. I've been running a music bar for several years. What kind of people haven't I seen? To tell you the truth, now I find that I like people like
An uncle like you."
I couldn't help but be startled, "Uncle? Me?"
She kept laughing, "Isn't it? Do you think you are still a young man? How about I call you brother?"
She couldn't help laughing next to me, and her hand on my arm tightened. I couldn't help laughing, "You can call me whatever you want. Just call me uncle."
While joking, we walked on a street with ancient trees on both sides. The street was very clean. Even if there were a few fallen leaves on the ground, it would not make people feel cluttered. Instead, it would give people a poetic feeling.
.
Chenchen’s hand has been in my arm, and we have been walking. There are dilapidated and simple buildings on both sides of the street, many of them are covered with moss, and the walls of some buildings are even covered with dense green ivy.
Under the narrow shadows of the vines, the Dongjiang River in this summer does not have the heat of summer, but only gives people a cool feeling.
There was a gentle breeze blowing on my face, a faint fragrance in the air, and the sound of a dog barking from a small courtyard nearby. All of this added to the tranquility of this street.
"Smile, I like it here." Chenchen said to me softly.
I nodded, "Yes, this city is nice. It is very leisurely and makes people nostalgic. In the future, we will keep everything here, just like Lijiang, Yunnan, and use this area as a tourist place. Here
Development will only be done next to a piece of land."
She said: "It's great. But this place may not be as quiet in the future. Once it becomes a tourist destination, not only will there be many people here, but the commercial atmosphere will also become very strong."
That would change the flavor."
I smiled and said: "That is inevitable. But there is nothing we can do about it. The most important thing for the development of a place is to be able to afford it. Although this place is very beautiful now, the people are poor. Economic development and beautiful scenery are inherently
It’s a contradiction. The poor mountains and rivers we used to think of are now the most beautiful scenery. This is the truth. Many things are relative.”
She smiled and said: "That's true. Laughing, I can't believe you are the mayor here."
I asked her in surprise: "Why? What is so unbelievable about this?"
She smiled and said: "I feel like you are a very ordinary person in my heart. I can't imagine that such a city is under your jurisdiction. I find it a bit incredible."
I smiled and said, "That's because you know me too well. In the eyes of the citizens here, they don't think like you do. Sometimes people are very strange. For example, right now, people here don't know me yet.
They will definitely not think anything wrong when they see the two of us being so intimate, but once they know that I am the mayor here, they will definitely be surprised: Will the mayor do the same?" (To be continued)
