Chapter 4 The Trouble is Big
Shen Tinglan was driving the car. If it weren't for the speed limit on city roads, she would have stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
I cursed the hotel staff over and over again in my mind, cursing them to every generation.
He was so anxious and angry that he slammed the steering wheel and said "Fuck"!
Then he felt sorry for his beloved car and looked loving.
Even though Shen Tinglan was usually out of tune, he knew the seriousness of the matter. It goes without saying that the Kyoto inspection team was given small cards on the first day they entered Jiangcheng.
Quickly go over your hotel arrangements for the day in your mind to make sure there are no problems.
He then selected the hotels in Jiangcheng one by one in his mind based on his memory, hoping to minimize the impact of the incident.
After a while, she arrived at the hotel and met Section Chief Chen who had just taken a taxi. Both of them were in a heavy mood.
Without time to communicate, he hurried into the hotel lobby.
Nine members of the inspection team were sitting on the lounge chairs in the lobby, with several of their black suitcases placed next to them.
Secretary Liao and Secretary Wang Dan stood beside him with grim faces. Opposite him was the hotel manager, whose face also looked bitter.
The three of them were negotiating, but the results were not ideal.
It was obvious that the Jiangcheng government had started the first battle ahead of time, and those people were unmoved.
in particular-
The hotel lobby was brightly lit. Shen Tinglan stood at the back, carefully examining Lin Zhizhou through the shadows between the potted plants.
After four years, his facial features have become more mature and handsome, and his emotions are hidden from his eyes. He sits among the nine people, and his powerful aura cannot be ignored. It is obvious at a glance that he is the leader among the nine people.
Keep your composure, now is not the time to be infatuated.
Section Chief Chen stepped forward and whispered a few words to Secretary Liao. Secretary Liao looked extremely bad, but there was nothing he could do.
Then he bowed his head and said humbly to Lin Zhizhou and the others, "Team Leader Lin, this was an oversight. The hotel has found out that it was the hotel cleaning staff who brought the person in. We've already arranged a new hotel. How about we go over there now? You've all been traveling and attending meetings all afternoon. Thank you for your hard work."
The leading man didn't even raise his eyelids, his gaze passing over a small, gaudy red card placed on the coffee table in front of him.
His voice was as calm as the deep ocean, without any ripples: "Secretary Liao, you are testing the cadres."
The few words "no warmth" made Secretary Liao feel cold on the back of his neck, his body weak, and his black hat swaying from side to side.
His face turned pale, and he swallowed the phlegm in his throat and said dryly, "Team Leader Lin, this was an accident. Please be kind and spare me. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will make sure to investigate it thoroughly."
"You have been traveling all the way and held a non-stop meeting this afternoon. If there is a problem here, it is due to our negligence. We will investigate overnight, but please be flexible and give Jiang Cheng a chance."
Secretary Liao, as the secretary of a fourth-tier city, has reached the end of his rope by saying these words today.
No one expected that with the entire government on high alert, the problem would occur with the hotel cleaning staff.
A thousand-mile long dam can be breached by a single ant bite.
The atmosphere in the lobby was low-pressure, and Secretary Liao's words made Shen Tinglan behind him feel even more depressed. She was responsible for arranging the hotel and could not escape the blame.
Silence for a few seconds.
The man raised his chin slightly and gestured to his secretary.
Secretary Chen beside him said calmly: "Secretary Liao, let's go to the hotel first. Everyone is tired, so let's rest early."
"We'll get to the bottom of this in one day."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Liao looked up with surprise in his eyes.
Is it such a sudden turn of events?
Then he reacted and said with relief that he had survived the disaster: "Thank you, leader. Thank you, leader."
He quickly waved to Section Chief Chen behind him to come forward and take the inspection team to the hotel where they were staying.
Several people from the administrative department hurried over to help carry the luggage to the Red Flag car. As a result, only Lin Zhizhou's luggage was left and no one dared to touch it.
Shen Tinglan was in a dilemma and hesitated to move forward.
Seeing this, Secretary Liao reminded her: "Xiao Shen, hurry up and help with the luggage, don't be lazy." He almost gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence.
Shen Tinglan's lips moved, wanting to say something, but then he made up his mind, pursed his lips, and said, "Just die, damn it."
Eighteen years later, he is a hero again.
Compared with Jiangcheng, personal grudges are nothing!
He walked forward, pulled Lin Zhizhou's luggage, and nodded slightly: "Team Leader Lin, please."
The man's gaze lingered on the woman's black knitted jacket, open, with a white suspender and white shorts underneath, the spring scene was as shadowy as snow.
The light shone on her, making her look shiny white, and her long black hair was casually draped over her chest and behind her ears.
It's so tempting.
A deep, oppressive gaze from above.
When Shen Tinglan was about to give up, Lin Zhizhou took a long step and walked out of the hotel.
Shen Tinglan beside him breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind, pushing the luggage.
After putting the luggage in the trunk, for the sake of caution, Chief Chen of the Administrative Department and others will also follow and make proper arrangements.
Just when Shen Tinglan felt that things were a little settled, he was about to turn around and go back to the hotel to report today's arrangements one by one.
Secretary Chen got out of the Hongqi main car.
Walked straight to Shen Tinglan: “Miss Shen, can you do me a favor?”
"You say, you say," Shen Tinglan responded hurriedly.
Now even if she wants the moon in the sky, she has to pick it.
"I've had a few drinks today and I'm not feeling well enough to drive. Would it be convenient for you to drive the main car?"
Secretary Chen thought to himself: I must have drunk some alcohol today, I absolutely cannot drive.
Shen Tinglan was stunned, suspicious?
Before Shen Tinglan could think about it carefully, Secretary Liao became anxious and pushed her to the driving seat of the Hongqi main car.
"Xiao Shen, go quickly."
Secretary Liao had so many thoughts in his mind, why did he choose to call Xiao Shen?
Maybe...
After thinking about it.
Then he smiled at Secretary Chen and said, "Xiao Shen is an experienced driver, Secretary Chen, don't worry."
Secretary Chen nodded in thanks and turned to get into another Hongqi car.
Shen Tinglan was forced to do something, and reluctantly opened the car door and sat in the driving seat. He didn't dare to speak and didn't look away.
He started the engine, applied the handbrake, and lightly stepped on the accelerator, his movements skillfully and maturely.
The car was driving smoothly, the dim street lights illuminated the scenery on both sides of the road, mottled light and shadow passed over the fair face, and the faint fragrance of hair lingered in the car.
Lin Zhizhou just stared at her from the back seat. The tension of the past few days gradually eased, his slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and sleepiness came over him...
She drove seriously, but her hands that were loosely gripping the steering wheel were sweating. Lin Zhizhou didn't say anything, and the car was silent. She bravely glanced in the rearview mirror.
Huh?
The man in the back seat leaned back, his body relaxed, his eyes closed.
Lin Zhizhou, who was so majestic just now, actually fell asleep.
I looked away for a second, thinking that the boss must have a very busy and tedious job, which requires both brainpower and physical strength. As the saying goes, whoever wears the crown must bear its weight.
It’s better to be a clerk like them. Their life is simple and easy. Sometimes it’s good to be a little stupid.
The journey was quiet, and they arrived at the hotel in a short while. Lin Zhizhou did not wake up, and Shen Tinglan did not dare to call him.
Secretary Chen gestured to Shen Tinglan through the black car window.
Shen Tinglan didn't say anything. He made a sleeping gesture with his hand and pointed to the back seat.
Secretary Chen was slightly surprised. He knew that the boss had always had trouble sleeping and often needed to rely on medication. His eyes kept looking back and forth between Shen Tinglan and Lin Zhizhou, and after a few breaths he confirmed what he was thinking.
He signaled Shen Tinglan not to wake up Lin Zhizhou yet, and he went to check in at the hotel first.
In the car, Shen Tinglan nodded with difficulty. What was going on? When he was bored, he opened his phone, turned on the silent mode and read the messages in the group.
Everyone in the group was saying that the inspection team had an ambiguous attitude. If they couldn't give a satisfactory result for today's matter, they were afraid that it would be reported upwards and accountability would be pursued layer by layer. Shen Tinglan, the direct person in charge, would probably be laid off.
Section Chief Chen and others returned to the original hotel to continue to find out the details of the incident.
Alas, there is nothing that can be done. Things have already happened, so let's face the reality. Shen Tinglan is an optimist, and things will work out when the time comes.
I clicked on Xiaodou again, scrolling through the mindless and borderline videos without a care in the world, and my heart was drooling.
Lin Zhizhou slowly opened his eyes in the back seat. He had actually fallen asleep. Looking forward, he saw a little woman lying on the steering wheel playing with her mobile phone. Her expression was sometimes solemn and sometimes relaxed. Her long hair was spread on her back, and some was scattered on her slender arms.
With the slight shaking of the shoulders, the scattered hair swayed slowly, and the man who was swaying felt the oars in his heart.
The image of her leaning on the desk playing with her mobile phone gradually overlapped with that year.
My mind was slightly moved.
"Junior, long time no see." The voice was low and hoarse with a hint of gentleness.
It was in stark contrast to the hotel lobby just now.
The sudden sound made Shen Tinglan's hand tremble, and his finger on the volume button suddenly amplified the volume.
"Ladies, your husband is here, with eight perfect abdominal muscles..." The sound of a macho man's delicate and artificial voice on the phone filled the car.
Shen Tinglan was overwhelmed with shame and anger.
What a sin.
The devilish music was still playing in a loop. She hurriedly bent down to pick up her phone, but the man’s long arms and fingers quickly picked it out from the gap between the armrests.
The man held the phone and looked at it for a long time before moving it away, but the phone was still in his hand.
He raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on the woman in the driver's seat. He said in a gentle tone, "Do you like this?"
What's so good about this white, skinny dog?
Perhaps he had just woken up, the man's brows lost some of their sharpness and his aura weakened, but one could still detect a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Shen Tinglan lied without hesitation, embarrassed but pretending to be calm: "No, I just played it casually."
He reached out to take the phone back.
The woman's delicate hand was held by a big hand, and her heart beat like a drum, and he pulled it out with great force.
The burning heat on the back of my hand seemed to linger.
Shen Tinglan’s spineless old face flushed.
The man rubbed his fingertips and quickly swiped the screen of his mobile phone with his other hand. The next few videos were similar, showing the temptation of a macho man.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, with disdain in his eyes. What a mess.
Not half as good as him.
I thought I was calm, but the force that almost broke the phone screen really made me sweat.
Although Shen Tinglan lied calmly, she couldn't resist the fact that her father knew what kind of person she was. Big data knows you better than you do.
I should be under the car, not inside it.
Shen Tinglan’s true thoughts now.
Fortunately, the man did not make things difficult for her. He handed the phone back to her, his black eyes flashing as he stared at her silently.
His face was particularly profound in the dimly lit space, mature, steady, and with clear edges and corners.
handsome.
The handsome Chen Tinglan felt mixed emotions and lowered his head to avoid the pressing gaze.
I dare not think too much about it, because there are more important things.
Time is running out, with only one day left, and she must immediately return to the original hotel to assist in the investigation.
She spoke up to break the silence.
"Team Leader Lin, Secretary Chen has already checked you in. Shall I take you upstairs?"
The man frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with Shen Tinglan's address.
I looked at the time on my wrist. It was already midnight, very late.
Wen Yan whispered: "I'll have someone take you back."
"No, no, I..." Before Shen Tinglan finished speaking, Lin Zhizhou took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and made a call. Within two minutes, Secretary Chen came down.
Shen Tinglan got out of the car, and Secretary Chen quickly took out the luggage from the trunk.
A deep, low voice came from above: "Let Secretary Chen take you back."
Shen Tinglan was confused: "Isn't Secretary Chen drinking?"
Then he came to his senses and looked at Lin Zhizhou. It was dark and he couldn't see the expression on his face. He stood there, intimidated.
Lin Zhizhou didn't say anything. She didn't dare to ask further questions. She was still timid.
Just like back then.
What's more, he is now in a high position, while she is just an ordinary clerk.
Suddenly I remembered a sentence on the Internet: the mentor you meet in college may be the top person you will meet in your life.
I didn't lie to her.
Shen Tinglan curled his lips unconsciously, stepped forward and said respectfully to Lin Zhizhou: “Team Leader Lin, it’s really not necessary, I have to rush back to the hotel immediately to deal with things.”
The man saw her pouting and it stirred ripples in his heart. After so many years, her habit remained unchanged.
After a brief look at each other, the man's eyes were deep, an emotion that Shen Tinglan could not understand.
He was the first to look away, then turned and walked into the hotel wearing his well-tailored trousers, which covered his strong and powerful long legs.
He walked two steps and turned back, saying to his secretary, "Call a taxi for her."
The tone is calm, neither light nor heavy.
Shen Tinglan lowered her head and pursed her lips, unable to explain what was in her heart.
Yes, Lin Zhizhou has always kept public and private affairs separate.
