When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
Bai Jie sat in the big office, not in the mood to play computer, with a gloomy face and wild thoughts...
At this time, a female colleague saw her like this and couldn't help asking her, "Teacher Bai, what are you thinking about? You look unhappy. Are you still angry because Principal Yang criticized you just now?"
Bai Jie seemed to have just woken up. She was stunned for a moment, forced a smile and said, "No... No, why would I be angry with Principal Yang..."
Hearing this answer, the female colleague teased with a sly smile, "Then why do you suddenly look so worried? Oh... I see, you must be thinking about a man, right?... Can you tell me who it is? It can't be Teacher Liu, right?"
Miss a man?
How could it be Teacher Liu!
Bai Jie's face suddenly turned red to the back of her ears. It was the first time she was teased in front of so many people. She felt so embarrassed that she quickly retorted, "Don't talk nonsense... My standards for choosing a spouse are very high. How could it be an ordinary teacher like Teacher Liu..."
In her excitement, she accidentally spoke out her inner thoughts.
Several female teachers in the office showed surprised expressions and looked at Bai Jie in disbelief, thinking, Teacher Liu is a good-looking man, how can he not be worthy of you, Bai Jie? Don't think that you are so great just because you are from the city, maybe Teacher Liu doesn't like you!
Bai Jie saw everyone's surprised faces and realized that she had said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly and explained, "I didn't mean to belittle Teacher Liu. I meant... He got to the official position through his own efforts, which is amazing. I am not worthy of him..."
She has a high emotional intelligence and eased the awkward atmosphere in the office with just one sentence.
A colleague smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Bai, you are too modest. I heard that you have a good family background and your parents are both city cadres. It is normal that you have high standards. After all, marriage is about matching up..."
Another colleague immediately agreed, "Yes, Mr. Bai, you are so outstanding and your family conditions are so good. It is difficult to find a suitable partner in the county... It is better to be alone than to be with someone who is not your friend, you know? You must not just find someone to settle for in a hurry."
A moment of anxiety?
Bai Jie understood the meaning of this sentence and her face turned even redder.
She covered her face and said embarrassedly, "What are you talking about? Who is anxious... I am not anxious..."
Several colleagues smiled wickedly. They were all experienced people, and they knew what was going on in women's hearts... Which girl didn't have spring in her heart? Aren't they all saying no, but scratching their heads anxiously in their hearts?
But there's no point in being anxious about this kind of thing. As a woman, you still have to be reserved and conservative. If you take the initiative, people will laugh at you if it gets out.
At this time, someone sighed, and said with emotion, "I heard that the County Magistrate Li who came to our school for inspection today is very young and handsome, and he is still single! Oh... If I were a few years younger, it would be great to find a deputy county magistrate as my husband. I guess I would wake up laughing in my dreams!"
Someone laughed and teased her, "How old are your children? You can even say such things. If your husband heard it, he would beat your ass when he got home. ... I think the only one in our house who has a chance to hook up with Deputy County Magistrate Li is the young beauty Teacher Bai. No one else has a chance."
"Yes, Teacher Bai, isn't today an opportunity? You must seize it. For ordinary workers like us, it is harder than climbing to the sky to meet the deputy county magistrate." Someone said maliciously.
In fact, the meaning of the words is, Bai Jie, don't you have high eyes? Don't you have a good family background? This Deputy County Magistrate Li must be worthy of you, right? But will he definitely fall in love with you? Tsk~ How charming do you think you are...
Bai Jie didn't think carefully about what everyone said. She thought that these colleagues really thought that she and Li Lin were a good match. She smiled complacently and said, "He is not bad... but not as good as you say, just average..."
A deputy county-level official in his twenties is still just average?
Everyone was stunned when they heard Bai Jie's words. They didn't know what to say for a moment. They thought, Bai Jie, you are too self-righteous. We just praised you a few times, but you took it seriously? County Magistrate Li has all kinds of beauties around him, so he might not be interested in you, right? Where do you get your confidence from? It's really...ridiculous!
Everyone smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily, "That's right, the deputy county magistrate may not be worthy of our beautiful Bai, hehe..."
...
Yang Shuangping's special car led the way in front. He told the driver to keep an eye on County Magistrate Li's car behind and not to leave County Magistrate Li too far behind.
The driver was experienced and agreed casually with a smile, not taking it to heart at all.
Along the way, Yang Shuangping sat in the back seat, deliberately keeping a distance from the deputy director in the back seat, as if he was sitting shoulder to shoulder with his subordinates, lowering his status.
The deputy director also felt Yang Shuangping's alienation and impatience towards him, and consciously kept a distance from him, leaning his whole body against the car door, not daring to cross the center line at all, for fear of causing Director Yang's dissatisfaction.
At this time, Principal Yang had already received the notice and was standing at the gate with several school administrators to welcome Li Lin and Yang Shuangping.
He took out his cell phone from time to time to check the time. It had been more than 20 minutes since the phone call. It was such a short distance, so the car should be arriving soon. Why didn't the car come? He was a little anxious.
At this time, a vice-president pointed to the road in front of the door and shouted, "Here comes Director Yang!"
Everyone quickly looked in the direction the vice-president's finger was pointing, and saw Yang Shuangping's special car slowly approaching the school, followed by a black domestic commercial vehicle.
