After finally finishing the meal, Secretary Li Bing went straight back. Several heads of municipal units were in high spirits and invited Yuan Zili and Cheng Weidi to the song and dance hall, but they politely declined.
Cheng Weidi lives in the city hall, so Yuan Zili naturally wants to send her away. It is now past 8 o'clock, the sun has set, and it is not so hot anymore. The two of them are walking on the street, and neither of them speaks first.
"Cheng Weidie, thank you."
"Oh, thank me for what?"
"It's all because of you that I can work at the Municipal Party Committee and become Secretary Li Bing's secretary. I don't know how to thank you."
"Really? Then you have to thank me properly, otherwise I will be angry."
"Then tell me how to thank you. I will do my best."
"Huh, you idiot, let me think about it. Tonight, you went shopping with me until I didn't want to go shopping anymore. Also, I have a month in Huaiyang City. As long as you have nothing to do, you will go shopping after get off work. Stay with me."
"Okay...Okay." Yuan Zili's scalp felt numb.
"Also, what did you call me, Cheng Weidi? Well, it's too unpleasant."
"Then I'll call you Xiaocheng from now on."
"Humph, are you the big boss? Uncle Li always calls me that."
"Then I'll call you Xiaodie, okay."
Under the illumination of the street lamp, Cheng Weidi's face turned a little red. She did not answer, nodded slightly, and took Yuan Zili's arm. At this time, no one would suspect that they were a strolling couple.
Cheng Weidie's soft arms and body rested on his right arm. Yuan Zili was a little shaken. He knew that Yi Guojun was not worthy of Cheng Weidie. In terms of character, they were far apart. However, from his background and
In terms of status, Yi Guojun is still stronger than Yuan Zili. Two girls, one Liu Meili and the other Cheng Weidie, were originally the targets of Yi Guojun's struggle. Now, they all favor him. Yuan Zili has a vague feeling.
In the near future, he will definitely surpass Yi Guojun.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking that a girl as outstanding as Xiaodie would actually fall in love with me. I'm afraid I'm just lucky. Otherwise, God thought I was honest and excellent, so he specially sent a beautiful and excellent girl to accompany me.
I."
"You're so bad. How do you know people like you? Huh, I'm ignoring you."
Yuan Zili felt his arm being held tighter, and Cheng Weidi's body was almost entirely leaning on his right arm. It seemed that girls liked to hear good things. In this regard, Yuan Zili was not a fool.
When I was working in town, I never heard any disgusting words or told any dirty jokes.
"Xiaodie, you go to the capital to further your studies and visit the capital city. I haven't been to the capital yet. If I have the opportunity to go there in the future, you have to be my guide."
"That's not easy. Let me tell Uncle Li that this time when I go to the capital, I want you to give me a ride and take a look around the capital."
"That's not good. It takes too long and it will affect your work."
"Yeah, that's right. Uncle Li is very busy. You can't stay away for a long time. Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. In the future, when you become a leader, you won't just go to the capital for fun."
"That won't work. What's the point of not having you by my side?"
"Huh, I know how to pick out nice things to say."
That night, the two of them went shopping until two o'clock in the night. Fortunately, it was summer and there were still many people wandering around on the street. It was probably too hot and they couldn't sleep.
From this day on, Yuan Zili's time was divided into two parts, one was Secretary Li Bing, and the other was Cheng Weidie. Secretary Li Bing seemed to know these things. During this period, he never mentioned matters about the county or city, and tried his best to
I don’t plan to eat out. Most of the time, I get off work on time at 5:30 pm.
Zhao Tianran was the first to be directly concerned about this matter. He probably talked about it with Secretary Li Bing. The original ambiguous attitude was gone. After meeting Yuan Zili, he asked Yuan Zili to treat Cheng Weidie well.
, don’t let Cheng Weidie be wronged, otherwise, you won’t be able to spare Yuan Zili.
People in the municipal party committee office also quickly learned about this matter. The elder sisters no longer mentioned the matter of introducing friends to Yuan Zili. They joked with Yuan Zili from time to time and asked when they would eat Director Yuan Zili's wedding candies.
Yuan Zili still felt a little guilty, mainly because of his relationship with Liu Meili. After a few months of getting along, Yuan Zili had a certain affection for Liu Meili. Of course, it was far from a relationship. After Liu Meili's economic conditions improved,
He had already left the hotel and rented a house near the mobile company. On the day Yuan Zili took office as deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, he had a crazy time with Liu Meili and never went there again. The two girls gave him completely different feelings.
The relationship between Liu Meili is mainly physical, like a passerby who has traveled a long distance. He is tired and needs a place to rest and recharge. The relationship between Liu Meili and Cheng Weidi is mainly emotional, with a hint of repayment, like wandering outside.
The wanderer needs a warm home and a place where he can end his wandering. The two girls have different backgrounds and completely different conditions. Therefore, there is a big gap in their personalities. Liu Meili is melancholy, profit-oriented, and struggles hard for life.
Cheng Weidi is cheerful, lively, and unrestrained. She is desperate for happiness. Relatively speaking, Yuan Zili prefers Cheng Weidi. It is not because of his background. Yuan Zili is in the officialdom and has been depressed and controlled for a long time. He needs a sunny girl.
To adjust, the two influence each other and their personalities can be neutralized. In this way, Yuan Zili can also try to get rid of the negative emotional influence in the officialdom, which Liu Meili cannot do.
Ten days later, Yuan Zili and Cheng Weidi kissed. Both of them were very proactive. However, apart from the kiss, the two of them had no other breakthroughs. Cheng Weidi was a girl after all. She grew up in a superior environment.
I am very attached to Yuan Zili. As long as Yuan Zili comes a little later, I will call to urge him. As the saying goes, for a girl in love, love is everything to her. This is true at all. During this period, in
It seems to Cheng Weidi that apart from seeing Yuan Zili every day and staying together with Yuan Zili, there is nothing else. Perhaps it is because they have not seen each other for more than a year and miss him for too long. Cheng Weidi's feelings are warm and bold.
Unrestrained and without any scruples.
In addition to working, Yuan Zili spent the rest of his time with Cheng Weidie. After get off work, the two of them ate in various restaurants in Huaiyang City, and occasionally sang and danced. Of course, Yuan Zili paid for it. When I went to work in Huaiyang City, I didn’t bring a lot of money with me, so my pocket quickly dwindled. Cheng Weidi’s family was in a good situation, and like her character, she was very aggressive when it came to spending money. However, Yuan Zili thought, Cheng Wei Die only has one month in Huaiyang City. After this period, the two will be separated for another year or so, so she doesn't really care.
August passed quickly and entered September. The weather was still hot and hot, and it did not get cooler at all.
On September 22, Yuan Zili suddenly received a call from Yi Guojun, inviting Yuan Zili to have dinner at Ganghai Restaurant after get off work. Yuan Zili did not refuse. He knew that Yi Guojun must be aware of the matter between him and Cheng Weidie. Sooner or later, the two of them would meet, so Yuan Zili called Cheng Weidi and told Cheng Weidi that he had something to do in the afternoon and that they would not have dinner together. After eating, he would go to Cheng Wedie.
At 6 o'clock, Yuan Zili arrived at Ganghai Restaurant on time.
Yi Guojun was waiting in the lobby on the first floor. When he saw Yuan Zili walking in, he hurriedly got up and went to greet him. The two smiled at each other, said nothing, and walked slowly to the private room on the second floor. Yuan Zili was very surprised. It turned out that
, he thought that Yi Guojun would stare angrily and look like he was raising an army to accuse him, but he didn't expect that Yi Guojun's eyes and smile were sincere and not malicious at all. Yuan Zili didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't speak.
At such a time, Yuan Zili would not be at a loss to find something to say. Any words of thanks or the like were all nonsense. Yuan Zili did not know the purpose of Yi Guojun's treat.
The private room Yi Guojun decided on was the small private room where Yuan Zili and Liu Meili had dinner together.
"Brother Yuan, how many years older than you are, I call you brother, you won't have any objection, right?"
"What are you talking about, Manager Yi? The older one is the elder brother."
"That's right, today is 8 hours away. Brother Yuan, don't call me manager or not. Call me by my name. It sounds good to me."
"Brother Yi is joking."
"That's pretty much it. Waiter, bring me two bottles of Maotai. I want it to be strong."
The food and drinks arrived quickly. Each of them had a bottle of Moutai in front of them. Yi Guojun asked the waiter to open the bottle, and he poured a full glass first. After seeing Yuan Zili pour the wine, Yi Guojun picked up the glass.
"Brother Yuan, I want to toast you, wish you a promotion, and wish you and Cheng Weidie a happy life and grow old together. Come on, let's have the first glass of wine."
"Thank you, Brother Yi."
Yuan Zili had to drink this glass of wine.
Then the drinking speed became slower. The glass was quite big. There were 3 taels in a glass of wine. It was still a bit powerful to drink it in one go. After the two drank it, they both started eating. When they poured the wine again, two
There seemed to be a tacit understanding, and everyone only poured half a glass of wine.
"Brother Yuan, you know, although I am not very good, I am very picky about people and there are not many people I like. However, you, Brother Yuan, are one of you. I really admire you."
"Brother Yi, thank you. You have good conditions and a good background. You are much better than me."
"Brother Yuan, don't be humble. Listen to me. When I was in the provincial capital, I met many leaders' secretaries. Those secretaries were like grandsons in front of the leaders. However, in front of outsiders, they had more airs than the leaders.
, I just can't stand it. The first time we met, you were still working in the county. At that time, I couldn't stand it or looked down on you. It's just a habit. I am a straight person. What's wrong with me?
What are you talking about? My dad said that I can’t be in politics or become a leader. Hey, a situation is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change. Later, I went to work in Huaiyang City and heard that you became the secretary of the secretary. After a period of observation, I
I really admire you. First I heard it from my friends, and then I observed it secretly. I found that you don’t have that bad temper. Moreover, you are a down-to-earth person and always so low-key. Especially after you became the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, you showed no signs of bad temper.
I am completely convinced by the changes you have made. Just because of your low profile, Chengfu’s future will be limitless. Come on, Brother Yuan, let’s have a drink for this.”
Yi Guojun drank the remaining wine under the quilt in one gulp. Yuan Zili had no choice but to raise his glass and drink after him. However, Yuan Zili's heart was quietly changing his view of Yi Guojun.
"Brother Yuan, to tell you the truth, I really like Cheng Weidie's character when I first met her. Don't take it off. I have known Cheng Weidie a long time ago. At that time, Cheng Weidie was still studying. Our
The family conditions are similar, so the personalities are similar. I once thought about pursuing Cheng Weidie and tried it. Needless to say, the result is that Cheng Weidie is a good girl with a simple mind and can't hide anything she says. Later,
, I regard Cheng Weidie as my biological sister, brother Yuan, please don’t treat Cheng Weidie badly, otherwise, I won’t be able to spare you."
"Brother Yi, the matter between me and Cheng Weidie has not been settled yet. I don't know when it happened."
"Brother Yuan, don't say this. I know Cheng Weidie's character. On the surface, he is quite gentle, but in fact he is fierce and ruthless. Even eight horses can't pull him back if he sees it right. Your matter will definitely be successful.
However, you still have the most important hurdle to pass, which is Uncle Cheng, Brother Yuan, you know, Uncle Cheng doesn’t want Cheng Weidie to be friends with people who are in politics."
Yuan Zili was suddenly startled. He did not expect Cheng Weidie's father, the old man who was the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee.
"Uncle Cheng's wish is for Cheng Weidi to find a technical person as a friend. As for why Uncle Cheng thinks so, I don't know. In fact, how is it possible? In China, the elites are all in the officialdom."
