Chapter 61: All Are Infatuated
"Secretary Chen is waiting for you downstairs, hurry up."
Shen Tinglan's tone was anxious. She pushed the man who held her in his arms motionlessly, and the two of them sank into the sofa.
Ten minutes had passed since Secretary Chen called again. She could imagine how anxious and angry Secretary Chen was downstairs.
The war situation at the front is tense, and the commander-in-chief's absence has caused the army's morale to be unstable.
The big boss was calm and composed, rolling the ends of her hair with his fingers and kneading it.
As stable as Mount Tai.
Now Lin Zhizhou can empathize with King Zhou of Shang and Zhou, Di Xin. Everyone has his own Daji.
As Bai Juyi wrote in his "Song of Everlasting Regret," "Spring nights are short, the sun rises high, and from now on the emperor will no longer attend court early."
Lin Zhizhou felt that the ancients were still implicit in their expressions, and now that they hadn't even merged yet, he was already thinking of slacking off and striking.
Needless to say, when things really come to fruition, he didn't dare to think too deeply about how wonderful it would be to carry the clouds and rain and turn the phoenixes and the dragons upside down.
Four years have passed since the last time——
"Lin Zhizhou, hurry up, hurry up." Shen Tinglan had already stood up and pulled him.
The anxious little woman in his arms interrupted his fantasy.
Lin Zhizhou's calm and composed demeanor was in stark contrast to Shen Tinglan's anxious attitude.
Shen Tinglan pulled him and searched the whole room for his briefcase, busy as a circle.
Lin Zhizhou, who was sitting on the sofa, had to stand up and leisurely button up and straighten his shirt.
His eyes followed the busy white figure.
He had just worn the white shirt the day before, and now it touched her skin without any hindrance.
Comrades, we share the same aspirations.
Walking together.
Lin Zhizhou's eyes were filled with smiles, and his usually cold face became gentle and affectionate.
The scene before them was a bit like their married life, very much like a wife urging her husband to go to work.
The big boss couldn't help but be fascinated and fascinated.
Shen Tinglan turned around and saw that he was still standing beside the sofa, motionless, his face was as if in deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
That can't delay going to work.
He was carrying his black leather briefcase, which was quite heavy and of excellent quality.
When passing by the coffee table, he quickly grabbed a delicate pastry.
She forced it into the man's mouth and used her other hand to push him towards the door.
After pushing and pulling until they reached the door, Shen Tinglan held the door handle with her left hand and turned it, almost successfully pushing the man out.
The door was slightly open, and the man reached out to take the pastry from his mouth.
His other arm came over and pulled her towards him, whispering, "You really don't have to wait for me. The clothes should be delivered in a few minutes. Let's go together."
Shen Tinglan shook her head and refused: "No, women are always dawdling. I won't delay you. Go to work."
She broke free from the leader's embrace, opened the door, and pushed him out.
I stuck my head out and looked around, and found that there was no one in the corridor, so I felt relieved.
Lin Zhizhou's body was pushed and turned in a circle. With the cake in one hand and the briefcase in the other, he wrapped her up again.
He whispered in a gentle voice, "Remember to bring the ring and bracelet back."
It is better to return the property to its original owner.
Shen Tinglan nodded.
But his tone was somewhat impatient and irritable: "I understand, I understand. Big Brother, please, hurry up and get to work. Secretary Chen is afraid that the flowers will wilt by the time you wait."
Lin Zhizhou lowered his head and stared at her tenderly: "No kiss goodbye?"
Shen Tinglan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
Kiss you big head ghost.
I'll kiss your sexy mouth until it's to pieces.
She roughly pulled Lin Zhizhou's neck down and pressed her plump red lips heavily against his.
Secretary Chen, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, was getting anxious and worried. He hoped that the boss would not get sick and unable to get out of bed. After all, there was a precedent.
This happened in Yunnan Province two years ago. A room full of cadres were waiting in the government for Lin Zhizhou to preside over a meeting, but no one answered the phone after another. At that time, he had arrived at the government first to prepare materials for the meeting, and thought the boss would arrive soon.
By the time everyone realized something was wrong, he rushed to the boss's dormitory and was already unconscious due to the burns.
He kept mumbling "man-man" or something like that, but he didn't understand.
He sounded quite energetic on the phone just now. It's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to go up and take a look to be cautious.
I stepped into the elevator thinking all the way.
This boss works so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep. The hard days he spent in Yunnan Province are still vivid in his mind and are extremely miserable.
Now it seems to have some human touch.
The elevator door opened with a ding.
Secretary Chen walked quickly, turned around and looked up at the door of Lin Zhizhou's suite. A few meters away, he saw the boss's back with his head down.
Trot forward.
But how could Lin Zhizhou be satisfied with just a light kiss?
He wrapped her in hot and wet kisses, and pressed his tongue against her red lips, stirring and squeezing them sweetly.
Secretary Chen was jogging two steps away from Lin Zhizhou when he suddenly stopped. His eyes bulged in shock and he froze in place as if he was under a spell, unable to move.
Cerebellar atrophy and infarction.
He knew that the boss was as strong as a bull and would not get sick easily.
The only one who can make the boss break his rules and become passive and lazy is his sister-in-law.
It is a capital crime to interrupt the boss's good deeds.
In this moment of daze, Secretary Chen and Shen Tinglan, who seemed to have noticed and opened his eyes, met each other's eyes.
Chen Tinglan's eyes were like copper bells. He struggled to get up and sobbed.
Secretary Chen behind him tripped over his left foot, then over his right foot, and couldn't tell left from right, up from down, and almost bumped into the wall.
The man's arms clamped her with a little strength, his voice warm: "Why are you hiding?"
Shen Tinglan stepped hard on the instep of his foot.
What are you hiding from? Hiding from your sister.
Now she is so embarrassed that she can dig out a dreamy Barbie castle with her feet, the kind that is more than ten stories high.
From then on, he and Secretary Chen could no longer look each other in the eye.
With lightning speed, she stuffed the broken cake in his hand back into his mouth and pushed it hard.
Then the door slammed shut, all in one go.
Lin Zhizhou chewed the pastry slowly, smiling with a rare good mood, and turned around leisurely.
His expression suddenly froze, and the tenderness and affection instantly changed into a solemn and sharp look.
Secretary Chen was facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes, feeling miserable.
His eyes wandered around restlessly, not daring to meet the cold gaze from his boss.
So desperate.
Lin Zhizhou remained calm, swallowed the cake in his mouth calmly, and strode towards the elevator.
Secretary Chen followed behind him and carefully took the briefcase from his hand, remaining silent.
There was silence in the elevator car.
Lin Zhizhou glanced at Secretary Chen and uttered three words softly.
"Deduction of wages."
Secretary Chen felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, and he cried out for justice in his heart.
Boss, how can you say such inhuman words with a body temperature of 37 degrees?
It is like a dumb person eating bitter herbs and feeling grievances in silence.
"Any comments?"
Secretary Chen shook his head vigorously: "No, no."
Even if there is, I can’t tell you.
The two of them got out of the elevator one after the other.
Inside the car.
Lin Zhizhou said calmly: "Call Secretary Liao first and go to the municipal government."
Secretary Chen nodded in response.
End of call.
In the back seat, Lin Zhizhou's eyes were fixed on the back of Secretary Chen's neck in the driver's seat, thinking.
Chen Jing is Secretary Chen’s full name.
We grew up together in the same compound, and he always followed his lead since childhood.
Since Lin Zhizhou entered politics, he has always been his assistant and secretary.
It's even better than the relationship between brothers.
It’s just that his brother’s love life is more bumpy than his. It’s passionate when they fall in love, but silent when they break up.
Lin Zhizhou roughly understood the reasons, which were basically the disparity in status, family background, and incompatibility.
Chen Jing's girlfriend of many years is Zhou Lu, whom he arranged to work in the Jiangcheng government four years ago.
At that time, Chen Jing and Zhou Lu broke up. Zhou Lu was heartbroken and came to him for help in order to avoid being found by Chen Jing. Lin Zhizhou naturally understood Chen Jing's deep feelings for Zhou Lu.
He also hinted that there might be some misunderstanding between them, but Zhou Lu refused to say a word. In order to preserve the love of his good brother, he gave them a chance to reconcile. It happened that Shen Tinglan returned to Jiangcheng at this time, and he needed an assistant.
There is no coincidence in the world.
Zhou Lu's silent departure was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Chen Jing. At that time, Chen Jing had spent a lot of effort to win the beauty. He was deeply in love with Zhou Lu, but was forced to confront his family, and was always in a dilemma.
Because of his understanding of Chen Jing, he also wanted to fight for them, so he arranged for people to go to Jiangcheng without telling Chen Jing.
This stay lasted for four years.
In the past few years, Chen Jing and he have been the same, not getting close to women and not being involved in female affairs. They both live like ascetic monks.
Four years have passed, and he and the little woman can reconcile as before, and Chen Jing and Zhou Lu may also be able to reconcile.
After all, it's a sincere emotion.
It is easy to fall in love, but it is difficult to keep loving each other.
He was lucky, and he hoped Chen Jing was too.
That’s my thoughts.
He said in a deep voice, "Zhou Lu is also in Jiangcheng."
Sizzle——
There was a sharp and piercing sound of sudden braking.
The car behind almost hit the car in front because it suddenly braked, but fortunately it was far away from the car in front and was spared.
He slowed down and changed route from the back, rolled down the window, cursed angrily, and drove away.
Secretary Chen in the driver's seat had red eyes and his hands on the steering wheel were shaking.
Zhou Lu.
This name hasn't been mentioned for several years, but the person who appeared in my dreams in the middle of the night these years was always her.
No one else mentioned it, but he never forgot it.
Melted into the bones and blood, I want to forget the pain of cramps, skin peeling, and broken bones reshaping.
How dare I forget.
After hearing Lin Zhizhou's words, it only took Chen Jing a few seconds to guess that Lulu's silence was related to him.
With the last bit of sanity left, he restarted the car and parked it on the side of the road.
Secretary Chen has developed a tacit understanding with Lin Zhizhou due to their years of working together, and at work, he always does what Lin Zhizhou says and never oversteps the bounds.
This time, Secretary Chen lost the respect and courtesy between superiors and subordinates.
He looked directly at Lin Zhizhou and asked in a stiff tone: "Why did you hide it from me?"
Lin Zhizhou did not answer immediately. Instead, he held the car handle, opened the door, got out, leaned against the side of the car, and lit a cigarette.
He invited Secretary Chen, who was still in the driver's seat, "Come out for some fresh air."
Secretary Chen got out of the car as he was told, looking dejected. Lin Zhizhou handed him the cigarette and lighter.
He took the cigarette handed to him by Lin Zhizhou, lit it, took a deep puff, and choked to tears.
Lin Zhizhou then patiently explained: "When Zhou Lu came to me, I also advised her to communicate with you, but she decisively refused. I didn't want to ask more questions. It happened that your sister-in-law returned to Jiangcheng, so I asked Zhou Lu to come to Jiangcheng first."
Secretary Chen interrupted with a sneer.
"Let Lulu help you look after my sister-in-law. Team Leader Lin, you're such a shrewd person. You know how I've been doing these past few years, but you haven't even uttered a word."
Lin Zhizhou was helpless, lowered his eyes and asked: "Are you sure I tell you that you and Zhou Lu will definitely be together at that time?"
Secretary Chen remained silent until his cigarette burned out, without any answer.
Yes, he didn't have an answer. Lin Zhizhou was right. If he had known that Zhou Lu was in Jiangcheng, he would not have been able to give her a definite future.
Given Zhou Lu's personality, it was impossible for her to stay in Yun Province with him without any status, and he was also impossible for her to compromise. This was why the two of them had to separate despite their deep love for each other.
The word "family" is heavy and inescapable.
If he enjoys the benefits of family, he must bear some responsibilities, and one of these responsibilities is that he cannot make decisions in his marriage.
So he could only choose to escape and despise himself for being a coward.
He was not as good as Lin Zhizhou and could make his own decisions on everything, so when Zhou Lu left his home in Kyoto, he never returned. This was his silent protest.
What's the use of this?
What’s the point of living your life if you can’t be with the woman you love?
meaningless.
Secretary Chen was also confused at this moment. He had lost all his momentum. He asked himself, "What's the point of me knowing this now? Should I just hide aside and spy on her?"
I couldn't help but laugh at myself, feeling heartbroken.
Lin Zhizhou's gaze drifted away, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not that there isn't a chance. You've been with me in Yun Province for four years. Once the inspection team's work is successfully concluded, I believe you'll be able to stand on your own."
Once we have some progress, I'll ask my grandfather to go and mediate with your parents. Before returning to Kyoto, I heard from your parents that things seem to be getting better. Maybe everything will be fine."
At this moment, Secretary Chen's eyes were bright and he seemed to have found the direction.
Some couldn't believe it: "Really?"
Lin Zhizhou nodded.
Secretary Chen no longer had any concerns. Lin Zhizhou nodded, which meant it was a done deal.
He couldn't wait to find Zhou Lu.
He asked anxiously, "Then can I ask for leave to go look for Lulu?"
Lin Zhizhou glanced at him lightly, so impatient.
As if remembering something, he nodded in agreement, his tone steady: "Wait until Monday and discuss it with your sister-in-law. There's no point telling me. After all, there's no one to drive if you're gone."
"Also, go find Zhou Lu and avoid other people. Don't make too much noise."
Secretary Chen nodded.
I feel uneasy and anxious inside.
