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...
Li Lin was a little surprised. This was not something Zheng Hao would say. It seemed that Zheng Hao mustered up his courage before asking to visit his home.
Zheng Hao struggled for a long time, thinking that although he and Li Lin had known each other for a long time, they had never had the opportunity to have in-depth communication. This time he finally mustered up the courage and he couldn't miss it.
The more this is the case, the harder it is to refuse.
So Li Lin smiled and said half-jokingly, "Your municipal discipline inspection commission just investigated me, and you come to give me gifts. Isn't this adding guilt to my name?"
Zheng Hao smiled awkwardly, "No...no, I just ordered some tea...mainly I wanted to go to your house for a meal, hehe..."
Li Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home tonight. I don't have any good wine, but I'll have plenty. Let's have a good chat and reminisce about the past."
When Zheng Hao heard this, he was so excited that he hung up the phone and ran back to the bedroom to change clothes. He thought that since he was going to visit Li Lin's house, he had to dress up smart and decent to show his importance to the visit.
He rummaged through the closet, picked out a shirt that he usually didn't want to wear, carefully adjusted the collar, and looked at himself in the mirror again and again to make sure his image was perfect.
After changing his clothes, he suddenly remembered that he had not asked Li Lin where he lived. He slapped his forehead in annoyance and blamed himself for being so careless.
There was no choice but to send a message to Li Lin to ask for the address.
Soon, Li Lin's message came back, saying that he was from Taiheyuan Community, unit 1, third floor, east unit.
Zheng Hao nodded with satisfaction, but was suddenly stunned. Why did the name of this community sound so familiar?
It seems... it seems that his uncle's family used to live in this neighborhood. Later, his uncle's family moved to the city and gave the house to his cousin Zheng Pei. How could it be such a coincidence?
To resolve his doubts, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Zheng Pei, "Peipei, the community you live in now is Taiheyuan, right?"
Zheng Pei was confused by the question, "Yeah, what's wrong, brother?"
Zheng Hao said with surprise, "Then County Magistrate Li Lin lives in the same neighborhood as you, did you know that? Have you ever run into him?"
Zheng Pei was very surprised and wondered why her cousin suddenly asked this.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "We live upstairs and downstairs, and our offices are across from each other, so we see each other quite often. What's the matter? Do you have something for County Magistrate Li to do?"
Zheng Hao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I've known County Magistrate Li for a long time. He's my old boss. I was going to visit him tonight, and suddenly I remembered that you also live in this community, so I asked."
When talking about his friendship with Li Lin, Zheng Hao looked very proud.
Zheng Pei was stunned and wondered how her cousin could have worked with Li Lin?
How come they have such a good relationship when there is more than ten years difference in age between them?
She didn't have time to ask further questions.
Zheng Hao added, "Since you are neighbors, you must have a good relationship, right? Why don't you go with me tonight? That way I can relax..."
