Although Zheng Pei wanted to go, she knew that it was not right to bring guests. Li Lin hadn't invited her, so if she showed up rashly, wouldn't it be that she didn't know the rules?
She sighed and said, "Brother, I'm not feeling well. I can't go with you."
Zheng Hao asked with concern, "What's wrong, Pepe? Are you catching a cold?"
Zheng Pei didn't even bother to make up a lie and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I just don't feel well."
"Oh..." Zheng Hao heard the hidden meaning in Zheng Pei's tone. He guessed that Zheng Pei might not dare or was not convenient to visit Li Lin's home because of his status as County Magistrate. So he stopped forcing her and just said lightly, "Okay, take care of your rest. I'll go to your home and sit for a while when I'm free in the evening."
At this point, the two hung up the phone.
Zheng Pei had already forgotten everything that happened between her and Li Lin and had given up all her fantasies about them.
But a phone call from Zheng Hao made her feel confused again. She wondered, was this a sign from God? To tell her not to give up and to bravely pursue her own happiness? Even if she ended up with a black eye, she should have no regrets?
She curled up her legs and curled up on the sofa, lost in thought...
She didn't know what Li Lin thought of her, and she didn't dare to speculate whether Li Lin had to keep his distance from her because of his status as county magistrate?
But judging from the fact that Li Lin was willing to expel Jiang Weihua, the deputy county magistrate, from the Shannan County Government for her, Li Lin must care about her and must be concerned about her!
Otherwise, why would he, at the beginning of his term in office, disregard the overall stability and kill off a member of the county government team?
Thinking of this, her heart gradually warmed up, and her desire for Li Lin became stronger and stronger. She even shouted in her heart, Li Lin, I have taken the initiative, why do you still reject me? Why don't you understand my feelings? What are you afraid of? What don't you like about me?
I gave you my whole self, why are you so cruel!
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt. I clenched my teeth unconsciously and tears welled up in my eyes.
She finally made up her mind that if Li Lin was afraid of gossip due to the relationship between their colleagues, then she would resign!
If I treat you as an ordinary person, you will no longer have an excuse to refuse, right?
Her love for Li Lin had reached a point of madness. She got up from the sofa, leaned over the coffee table and began to write her resignation letter.
If there is a chance tonight, then give it to him in person tonight. If there is no chance, then give it to him as soon as you get to work tomorrow.
See what he says.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Hao took a taxi and rushed to the residential area where Li Lin lived. Carrying two boxes of tea, he rushed into the residential area in a hurry. Just as he was about to find which unit he was in, he was stopped by the old man who was guarding the door.
The old man came out of the security room, looked at the unfamiliar Zheng Hao, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Zheng Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, I'm cousin Pei Pei, here to visit her."
He remembered that Zheng Pei and Li Lin were on the same floor, so he called out Zheng Pei's name but not Li Lin's.
He works in the discipline inspection department, so he should avoid suspicion when necessary. After all, he is a cadre of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he was afraid that if he visited the county magistrate, people would gossip about him if the news got out.
The gatekeeper saw that Zheng Hao was only holding two boxes of tea leaves, and it didn't look like he was giving a gift to County Magistrate Li, so he pointed to the door of Unit 1 and said, "Go up."
Ever since Li Lin became the county magistrate, his neighborhood has become lively.
Every night there are always a few people carrying large and small bags to give gifts to Li Lin, especially recently.
As a gatekeeper, his worth increased rapidly. Who wouldn't offer him a cigarette before entering the house?
Some people who didn't know Li Lin's exact address would give him a whole box of cigarettes as a bribe to find out...
More and more people came, all of them were prominent figures in the county. As a gatekeeper, he had never seen so many important figures in his life, let alone smoked cigarettes offered by important figures. So he gradually became more demanding of himself. Whenever a stranger came in, he would stop him and question him carefully. His purpose was to show his diligence on the one hand, and to smoke a cigarette on the other.
Power is like this. If you don’t take yourself seriously and are not strict, no one will take you seriously.
If it gets too serious, even an old gatekeeper can be strangled to death!
This old man is an example. As long as Li Lin is the county magistrate and lives in this community, he has the power to block people.
Not only the gatekeeper, but all the neighbors in the community became arrogant because Li Lin lived in the same building with them.
Sometimes when something happens and they start to quarrel, they will bring up Li Lin and say something like, "I live in the same building with County Magistrate Li. Do you believe that I can arrest you with just one phone call from the police, procuratorate or court?"
You know what, sometimes you can really scare people!
Arrived at Li Lin’s house.
Zheng Hao adjusted his collar a little unconfidently, then looked up and knocked on the door.
Soon, Li Lin opened the door and said to Zheng Hao outside with a smile, "Come in."
Zheng Hao nodded excitedly and walked in carrying the gift.
Li Rong had already prepared four cold dishes and was in the process of stir-frying the hot dishes.
She heard the colleague Li Lin mentioned coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and smiling kindly, "Xiao Zheng, huh? You're here, why bring a gift? Come and sit down...Xiao Lin, go pour the tea."
Zheng Hao was flattered and said incoherently, "Auntie, I'll do it myself...Team leader, don't bother, I can pour the water myself..."
Li Rong was very impressed by the slightly shy young man in front of her. She took the tea from him and asked him to sit down. "You two can sit and chat for a while. The food will be ready soon."
