When she heard this, she instantly perked up, staring at me with her eyes, and pretended to be serious and said, "Guan Hongjun, your word 'again' is just right! You must be honest today, how many women have you slept with?"
The corners of my mouth slightly raised, a hint of cunning flashed in my eyes, and I deliberately kept it a secret, and slowly recited: "The past was ours alone to keep, The present ours to share. Let yesterday lie deep in sleep— Tomorrow waits, more fair."
She was stunned at first, but couldn't help but praise him: "Guan Hongjun, you are so impressive! Your English has improved and you can even recite English poems!"
I smiled and joked, "As the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. You are such an excellent teacher, and you have taught me everything you know without reservation. If I don't make any progress, wouldn't it be a shame for your teaching? Come on, show your translation skills and help me translate this poem."
She bit her lower lip lightly, thinking for a moment, with a smart light flashing in her eyes. After a moment, she opened her lips and said in a soft and charming voice: "Since it is a poem, the translation must be rhymed to make it more interesting: The past is unique to me, hidden in my heart, and I appreciate it together every day. Time is like a veil. Let yesterday fall into a long sleep, and tomorrow will be ready to bloom with more beauty."
I nodded sincerely, and said with deep emotion: "Teacher Xu is indeed outstanding and extraordinary. This poem is the answer to your question. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
She curled her lips and snorted, "Hmph, don't try to fool me with these. Since you don't want to tell me how many women you have had, then answer me honestly, when Sister Qingwan was alive, did you ever cheat on me?"
I stared into her eyes, my gaze firm, my tone sincere and decisive: "Absolutely not."
After hearing this, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's enough. It seems that what my aunt said is right. You really need a woman to take good care of you."
I leaned closer and asked softly, "So, are you willing to take care of me?"
She blinked her long eyelashes, like a docile little deer, and nodded obediently in my arms.
In an instant, passion surged and I couldn't help but kiss her eyes lightly. She immediately became alert and asked, "What are you going to do?"
I raised a wicked smile and said teasingly, "I plan to treat you to a whole night of 'Teacher Appreciation Banquet'."
She laughed out loud and replied softly, "There are cows that die of exhaustion, but there are no fields that are damaged by plowing. I'm just afraid that you won't..."
Before she finished speaking, I moved closer to her with endless passion, like a surging wave...
Since that night, the relationship between her and I has made a qualitative leap. We have become inseparable.
Afterwards, she approached the school leaders and explained our relationship honestly. As a result, those who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble could give up in disappointment, and the matter gradually died down. After all, in a normal relationship, there is really no opportunity for people to take advantage of.
Time flies. In less than a week, the staff of the Organization Department of the Party Committee completed a series of inspection links such as evaluation and interviews in full swing. Soon, the pre-appointment announcement for twelve candidates, including me and Hu Haitao, was officially launched. As expected, the entire publicity period was smooth and there were no unexpected incidents.
In this way, I finally got what I wanted and became a member of the county party committee, became the deputy county magistrate, and concurrently served as the director of the development zone management committee, successfully joining the ranks of county-level cadres.
At this moment, I still have 113 days until I turn 35. It is rare for a young man to be awarded such a high position. Looking at the history of the county, except for that special decade when there were younger deputy directors of the Revolutionary Committee, this situation is really rare.
Standing at the critical turning point of a person's life, looking back on the past struggles, those hard nights, the sweat shed, the setbacks experienced and the fruits of harvest, all come to my mind, full of emotion; looking towards the future, my heart is filled with longing and expectation. The new journey that is unknown but full of infinite possibilities has slowly unfolded under my feet, and every step seems to be calling me to a wider world.
I have an office with a suite in the county government building. The space is much more spacious than the one in the development zone. The decoration and furnishings are very grand. I can feel the solemnity and majesty as soon as I step in.
At my first executive government meeting as deputy county magistrate, the team members discussed the division of work based on my resume and professional background. After some research, the tasks of managing the various major bureaus, including Industry and Information Technology, Development and Reform, Commerce, Statistics, Science and Technology, and the Economic Development Zone, fell on my shoulders. Coincidentally, most of these areas were previously under the charge of Hu Haitao, and when I took over, the handover between the two of us went quite smoothly.
After the meeting, Xu Shaojia approached me to discuss the matter of assigning me a driver, and he asked for my opinion. Xiao Xiang, who used to drive for Zhang Xiaodong, immediately came to my mind. He is a retired soldier, down-to-earth and hard-working, and he left a deep impression on me, so I asked Xu Shaojia to make him my full-time driver.
The next step is to select a secretary. Xu Shaojia suggested that I be assigned the position of deputy section chief of the secretariat of the government office, considering that I was a high-ranking deputy county magistrate and a member of the standing committee, believing that this would enable a better coordination of the work. But I have another plan in mind. Young people are new to the workplace and are in urgent need of opportunities to exercise and grow. We should build a stage for them to display their abilities. I asked Xu Shaojia to select from the new secretaries that day. After some consideration, a young man named Hu Jia stood out and came into my sight.
After some careful arrangements, suitable candidates were found for the driver and secretary with whom I have most frequent work contact.
The listing of Daxun Group was imminent. In order to speed up the listing process, I discussed countermeasures with Liu Xiuwen. After in-depth exchanges, it was unanimously decided to set up a special working group. This special team is led by the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and the Financial Office, and its members include the Development and Reform, Finance, Commerce, Justice and other bureaus. All departments work together to provide policy guarantees for enterprises, provide business support from a professional perspective, and escort them at the legal level, helping Daxun Group to take smooth steps forward in all aspects.
The Economic Development Zone was qualified as a provincial development zone and renamed the Economic and Technological Development Zone. The advancement of this major event was inseparable from the support of the county magistrate Tong Yazhou. His attitude plays a key role in this matter. After much consideration, I decided to humble myself and go to his office in a low-key manner to report on the progress and planning of related work, hoping to gain his recognition and support and open up key links for subsequent work.
During this meeting, his attitude was still lukewarm. After listening to my report, he neither confirmed nor denied it. Just when I was wondering, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever worked with Zhang Weiguo?"
Zhang Weiguo? Why did he suddenly mention this person? My nerves instantly tensed up and my vigilance was at its highest level. I tried to sound more natural and answered, "When I was working in Tongxiang Town, he was the mayor and my superior."
He nodded slightly, with an ambiguous look on his face, and then said, "That's great. This time you two have another chance to work together."
