Su Yu thought it made sense at the time, but regretted it when the time came, worried that she would fall.
"Comrade Dongzheng, you've gone too far. I didn't agree to that," Su Yu criticized sternly.
Secretary Song: "..." He scratched his head and said helplessly, "I promise I'll hold you and you won't fall. If you do fall, I'll cushion your fall."
Su Yu considered it for a moment before steeling herself and proceeding.
Who told her to be so foolish as to send Zhi to the army? Dazhi is going to be a father in a few months; we can't compete with other babies for his attention. And Comrade Dongzheng is being transferred out again.
Su Yu felt that she had fewer and fewer people around her who could be of use to her.
We must strive to climb higher, for the sake of drivers, for the sake of cars.
Su Yu's cycling skills are mediocre. She's in her forties; she could ride a bike when she was a teenager, but not very well. Later, with a private car to take her around, she completely abandoned it. The bicycles these days are tall and bulky, and she rides it wobbly and unsteadily.
Secretary Song held the handlebars for her the whole time. Seeing Su Yu's unsteady gait, Secretary Song herself broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't dare let go, afraid of dropping her.
Su Yu reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then gritted her teeth and gripped the handlebars tightly. After practicing for a few hours, she gradually got the hang of it. At least she could hold the handlebars steady and stop wobbling.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing their driving practice, the two went to the Oriental Hotel for dumplings. As soon as they entered the hotel, they saw Secretary Zhou also having a meal with someone inside.
When Su Yu saw the people having dinner with Secretary Zhou, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Secretary Song.
Don't let this vinegar jar be overturned.
Secretary Song walked into the restaurant as if nothing had happened. Secretary Zhou immediately saw the two of them enter and greeted them with a smile.
Captain Li, who was eating with him, also stood up.
"Secretary Song, you've come to eat too," Captain Li said with a smile. He glanced in Su Yu's direction, no longer as reserved and nervous as before.
Secretary Song smiled and said, "Yes, we're going to school soon. We'll have a meal here and then head off to school."
Secretary Zhou smiled at the two of them, "Want to come together? We can talk business."
"Let it go today. I finally have a day off, so please let me have a break."
Secretary Zhou laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, then I'll have dinner with Lao Li."
Then he and Captain Li sat back down to eat.
Secretary Song pulled Su Yu to a table that was relatively far away and sat her down. She looked at Secretary Song and then at Secretary Zhou.
"What are you looking at?" Secretary Song asked.
Su Yu said, "Let me see if there's anything strange." Then she leaned closer to Secretary Song and asked, "When did you and Captain Li become so familiar?"
"You still remember Captain Li?" Secretary Song said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
Su Yu chuckled, "What? It's just a few words. Look at you." She believed she had a clear conscience; when she met Captain Li, she hadn't left any room for speculation or ambiguity. She was completely open and aboveboard.
Secretary Song pursed his lips. He felt that if he hadn't realized his mistake quickly, he might not be in this situation now.
"Eat first, then we'll talk. And don't look back."
Su Yu's lips twitched, and she said with a straight face, "Is this an order to me?"
Secretary Song immediately cowered, "No, I'm begging you."
"..."
After finishing the dumplings, Secretary Song left with Su Yu. As they were leaving, Captain Li and Secretary Zhou were still drinking and chatting. Seeing Secretary Song and Su Yu depart, they even waved and smiled.
Leaving the restaurant and getting on her bicycle, Su Yu asked, "What exactly happened?"
Secretary Song rode his bicycle leisurely. "I'm being transferred out of town, tentatively to Jinhe County. Before I go, I can't go completely unprepared, so I'm going to arrange for some people to go in advance. There need to be people who can speak on matters of the armed forces and finances. Captain Li is one of them. He's just a battalion commander now, but if he goes to the county, he can quickly try to become the bureau chief. His future is tied to mine, aren't we familiar with each other?"
Su Yu realized she still trusted Comrade Dongzheng. She had initially worried he'd be a jealous person, but it turned out he completely separated public and private matters.
Wait… why Captain Li?
Secretary Song said in a serious tone, "Old Zhou and he have a good relationship, and he's reliable. We're doing Old Zhou a favor."
Su Yu nodded. "That's good. I thought you were worried that someone would poach your boyfriend and get rid of him."
"Hehe, how could that be?" Secretary Song laughed confidently. "I have faith in you."
For others, it's a different story, of course.
Su Yu didn't expose him, and instructed, "I think it's not just the Public Security Bureau that needs to make arrangements, it would be best if the militia also had someone who could speak up."
Secretary Song nodded. "Next week I'm going to Jinhe County to discuss the mountain products. I'll be in contact with the production brigades then."
Upon hearing Secretary Song mention mountain products, Su Yu said, "Comrade Dongzheng, was that mountain product plan you developed before actually a preparation for your transfer to another post?"
Secretary Song said, "Ahem, just a side note, just a side note. I am an upright and selfless comrade who serves the people."
Su Yu laughed and pinched his waist. "Old fox." That's exactly right!
