After a round of greetings, the team members returned to their respective offices. In the empty corridor, only Chen Mengzhao was left. She turned her head and said calmly but in a tone that could not be refused: "Come to my office."
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to follow her silently. As soon as I stepped into her office, my eyes were immediately attracted by the bunch of gorgeous red roses on her desk. After a rough count, there were as many as ninety-nine flowers. I couldn't help but wonder who was so generous.
Chen Mengzhao's face was intoxicated. He gently held the bouquet, took a deep breath in front of the buds, and exclaimed: "It smells so good."
놖 suppressed the inexplicable emotion in his heart, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "I didn't expect that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the development zone. There are actually people who are courting 'Sun Erniang'."
She was not angered by what 놖 said. Instead, she raised her lips and responded with a smile: "Oh, you said 놖 is the female demon Sun Erniang? It's a pity that you can't get angry with 놖. Why, you are angry because someone gave 놖 flowers?"
놖 slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to maintain his calm expression, and said: "놖 is neither annoyed nor angry, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day." Before he finished speaking, 놖 turned around and left without hesitation.
But she moved extremely quickly. She took a few steps forward, dodged to the side, and stood firmly in front of 놖, completely blocking 놖's way.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Move aside, it's work time now, don't play around here."
She tilted her head, her eyes locked onto him, a half-smile on her face: "Guan Hongjun, you are really narrow-minded. Well, if I didn't tell you, you would probably have no appetite and no sleep today. This flower was given to me by Lin Haisheng."
These words were like a thunder blast in 놖's ears. 놖 couldn't hide her surprise and blurted out, "Lin Haisheng from Xiaocheng Steel Structure?"
She nodded slightly, with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "An unexpected surprise?"
놖 quickly calmed down and pretended to be calm and responded: "It's not surprising. A rich man's pursuit of an official's daughter, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match, this kind of drama is not uncommon and familiar. "
She waved her hand, her expression casual: "Alright, don't look so sad. Let Xiao Liu send it back immediately. I just want to show off in front of you. It doesn't mean anything to me."
놖 raised his eyes to look at her, with a faint arc on the corner of his mouth: "This opportunity is rare, why don't you think about it again? After all, Mr. Lin is also sincere. If you do this, I'm afraid it will hurt 놛's heart."
She sighed softly, her eyes full of emotion, and slowly said: "When it comes to love, it's always black and white. How many people can really get out of it unscathed and unscathed? It's the lingering ties and the entanglements that really hurt people and hurt themselves."
놖 looked at her sincerely, and advised her earnestly: "You should think about it carefully. Lin Haisheng is an extremely outstanding person, talented, capable, and elegant. Based on my understanding of 놛, if 놖 didn't have deep feelings for you, 놛 would never rashly send flowers to express her love."
Hearing this, she stared at him with burning eyes and said earnestly: "Guan Hongjun, this also applies to you. Why do you have to be a coward and not dare to face your own heart? You are not stupid. If you were wishful thinking, how could you chase you so closely. Throw away the shackles in your heart and follow your heart. No matter what the outcome is, at least you will not have regrets in the future."
He consciously avoided her burning gaze, and his voice was filled with helplessness and vicissitudes: "Chen Mengzhao, if it was ten years ago, maybe I would do as you said. But now, I really can't do it..."
놖's words were still echoing in the air, but she suddenly moved closer, and her warm lips pressed against his, blocking his mouth. In an instant, 놖's mind went blank and he wanted to resist. At the moment when her reason was about to be swallowed by impulse, he pushed her away with all his strength. She staggered and almost fell on him. But he didn't dare to stay any longer, turned around and rushed out, leaving her alone in the room.
He locked himself in the office and sat there like a statue until lunch time came quietly. When I thought about meeting Shen Mengzhao in the cafeteria, I felt timid. My legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move a step. In the end, I didn't dare to go.
In the afternoon, I went to the county government and paid my respects to several major county leaders in turn. After a busy period, he finally stepped into Wang Yanshu's office.
When Wang Yanshu saw 놖, he looked annoyed and said half-jokingly: "Guan Hongjun, you finally still have 놖 as your elder sister in your heart. 놖 was thinking that you were too lazy to come and pay your respects to 놖."
놖 smiled and explained: "Hasn't 껻 already greeted 뎃 on the phone?"
She shook her head slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she said with emotion: "When people get older, they like to miss the past. This morning, I was still thinking that if it were in the past, you would have run to me like a real brother, jumping and skipping."
놖 pretended to be dissatisfied and 꿯 retorted: "Sister, what you said is really not 놖's favorite. Why are you feeling sentimental for no reason? In your condition, it's no problem to have a second child. There's no need to be so sad."
She waved her hand, her expression regaining some seriousness: "Please sit down. There are some things I really don't know where to talk to."
놖 took a seat opposite her as she said. She paused for a moment and spoke slowly: "You've heard that there will be personnel changes soon."
He nodded slightly and replied, "Zhang Xiaodong mentioned to me that you are going to take over from Kuang Tieying as the full-time deputy secretary."
She frowned and said firmly, "The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department came to talk to you, but you refused. How can you do things this way? Kuang Tieying just went to Xinjiang to help, and we are eager to take your position. You are already ten years old. How much room for advancement will you have when you come back in two years? How can you show respect for the cadres who are helping Xinjiang by doing this?"
놖 looked embarrassed and advised: "Sister, you are so tough, I am afraid it is not a long-term solution. The city will always have overall considerations."
She looked at him firmly and said seriously, "Hongjun, maybe you think he is upset because he didn't become the county magistrate. But he knows that being the county magistrate or not is not that important to him. No matter what position he is in, he just needs to do his job well and have a clear conscience. He just can't stand you being so blatant in organizing and arranging personnel."
He sighed helplessly, with a hint of powerlessness in his tone: "This situation has existed for more than one or two days, and more than once or twice. What can we do to change it?"
Wang Yanshu's eyes revealed a firm look, and he said decisively: "But I always believe that the majority of people are righteous. Take this time for example, the city directly promoted Tian Zhenyu to the county party committee standing committee and served as deputy county magistrate. At the county party committee meeting, except for a few people, including Secretary Liu, County Magistrate Zhang, and you, most people voted against it. During Tian Zhenyu's tenure in Tongxiang Town, there were endless problems. How dare they promote and appoint cadres with illnesses? How can this be done!"
놖 frowned slightly and asked with concern: "So this matter is just put on hold?"
She nodded and continued, "In the end, both sides took a step back and Wang remained as deputy county chief, but did not join the standing committee."
After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "If you continue to serve as the executive deputy county magistrate, has the candidate for the standing committee deputy county magistrate been selected?"
Wang Yanshu's expression eased a little, and a trace of recognition appeared on his face: "It's Liu Xiu. This position should have belonged to you. You are fair and has a good style. Your professional ability is outstanding. It is the most suitable person for you to take this position. It is what everyone wants."
