Chapter 170 Beauty "Freezing"
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Gu Yu arrived at the office. He sat in the office with a smile on his face.
After a while, he sighed regretfully. It was rare for his little wife to be so enthusiastic. If he hadn't been busy with work, he really wanted to accompany her until the evening.
“Knock, knock…”
"Come in."
"County Magistrate Gu, Director Yu has made all the arrangements. He asked you what time you would like to set so that he can invite people," Mao Shun came over and said.
He and Wang Meng both work at the Public Security Bureau. Now the entire bureau has to assist the county magistrate in his work, so their contacts are becoming closer.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yu said, "Let's do it tomorrow. The sooner the better. It will also be convenient for us to carry out our work smoothly."
"Okay, County Magistrate Gu." Mao agreed and was about to walk out.
Gu Yu slowly said, "By the way, are you and Wang Meng adapting well here? I've been quite busy lately and don't have time to ask you two."
"Don't worry, we both have a good relationship with you and will be able to get along well in the bureau," Mao Shun said with gratitude in his tone.
"That's good. I'll invite you two to my house for dinner some other day. Do you have a partner? If so, you can bring him/her along. It'll be a good opportunity for you to keep your sister-in-law company." Gu Yu made the invitation sincerely.
He wanted to train a few people here, not to let them do anything big, but he would be traveling frequently in the future, and they knew each other better than others, so he could ask them to help take care of Xiuzhu when the time comes.
"Director, I don't have a partner yet, so I'll go tell Wang Meng, and when you're free, we'll go and bother you and your sister-in-law." Mao Shun
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
When Gu Yu saw the man leave, he shook his head with some amusement. This kid and that stubborn donkey Wang Meng really have opposite personalities.

The next day, Xiuzhu dressed herself up and sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for someone to pick her up.
Finally, it was her turn to go out and socialize. The first step for an official’s wife was to accompany her husband on social occasions.
The person who came to pick up Xiuzhu was Mao Shun. He had to pick up the county magistrate's wife first, and then go to the county committee to pick up County Magistrate Gu. After the couple reunited, they would go to Director Yu's house together.
He walked into the living room and froze in place.
The girl sitting on the sofa had her long, shiny black hair half-tied up. She wore a dark red woolen coat and a beige silk scarf around her neck. Her delicate, white skin made her look extremely eye-catching.
Mao Shun was just a young man in his early 20s. When he saw such a stunning beauty for the first time, he naturally fell in love with her.
After being amazed, he said with some concern: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, aren't you cold wearing so little?"
When Xiuzhu saw Mao Shun’s reaction, she felt satisfied. It seemed that she had dressed very beautifully today!
"It's so beautiful that it freezes me. Besides, I don't walk outside. I always sit in the car."
"Let's go. Don't keep people waiting anxiously." She proudly straightened her body and walked forward slowly.
Mao Shun didn't dare to say anything more when seeing this. He hurriedly followed her and opened the car door for her.
While driving, his mind kept echoing with her words "beautiful". He thought, the girl in the back seat was indeed beautiful and heart-warming.
She seems to be 20 years old, the same age as me.
The place where they lived was very close to the county party committee compound, and it only took a few minutes to reach Gu Yu's unit.
Xiuzhu was sitting in the back seat, shivering from the cold. She had made a mistake. Although cars from the 1960s had air conditioning, the heating effect was really average.
Before, she always dressed like a ball when going out, and it wasn't noticeable. But today she wore less, and although the woolen coat looked good, it was not cold-resistant at all.
Mao Shun felt a little pity for her when he saw her curled up tenderly. He was about to unbutton his cotton jacket and take it off to cover her, but when he thought that doing so would have a bad influence, he gave up.
Fortunately, after a while, Gu Yu received a notification from the guard at the door and strode towards the black car parked on the side of the road.
When he opened the car door, he saw his little wife huddled together. He quickly took off his cotton coat and wrapped it around her.
I was angry. She insisted on being pretty in such a cold day and wearing so little. I thought she was in Yucheng before.
"Honey, cover your hands." Xiuzhu realized that someone was angry and said to him coquettishly.
This time she was at fault...
From now on, she will never choose grace over temperature again. The winter in Harbin is so freezing that it can kill people.
Gu Yu frowned, hugged her in his arms, then held her cold hands and put them in his lapel.
Xiuzhu didn't hesitate and naturally put her hand on him to keep warm.
Nothing is more important than keeping yourself warm.
The warmth from the man's body was directly transmitted to her, and Xiuzhu recovered soon.
"Are the only people who went to Director Yu's house the newly appointed officials from Ding'an County?" She was so tired last night that she forgot to ask about the details of tonight's dinner.
Gu Yu was relieved when he saw that she was warm. "As for the other leaders of Harbin, don't be nervous. Just proceed as usual. I'll be watching everything!"
"Yeah, my husband is so nice, my husband is so great." Xiuzhu was afraid that he would nag her, so she said nice things to please him.
Gu Yu's anger had indeed dissipated a lot. In fact, he was even more angry with himself. He knew that this little woman loved beauty, so why didn't he go home and take care of her in person?
～～～～
The Yu family’s residence is also a two-story red brick and tile house, but its appearance is slightly worse than the one where Gu Yu lives.
Yu Mingli is a man who likes to organize things. Today, he invited many newly appointed cadres from Ding'an County. Not only that, he also invited many leaders from the city.
It's not popular to hold banquets nowadays, so this is his personal invitation to everyone to his home, which is acceptable in public.
In fact, it would have been better if Gu Yu prepared today's meal, but Gu Yu didn't like to take charge of things, so it fell to Yu Mingli.
Yu Mingli's wife Jiang Mei was also a very versatile person. She gathered all the wives of the leaders together, and everyone sat together to chat and eat melon seeds. It didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other.
"Look, that's the secretary of the mayor of Harbin. He's really handsome and I heard he's not married yet." One of the plump middle-aged women said, pointing at a handsome and elegant man not far away.
"Yes, I wanted to introduce him to my niece, but I heard that his family background is not simple, so I don't dare to ask."
Jiang Mei's eyes sparkled. Her sister was 20 years old this year. She was pretty, but she was also very picky.
After retiring from the art troupe half a year ago, she became even more picky, clamoring to be a strong woman who would not depend on men.
My parents at home were very angry and they quarreled every day. Now that I have moved to Ding'an County with my husband, I decided to let my sister stay at my house for a few days.
There's no point in delaying it any longer. You'll be an old maid by now.
Originally, she was thinking about County Magistrate Gu. Under normal circumstances, the Gu family would have been unable to reach him even if they wanted to. But now, Gu Yu happened to be working with her husband, so she had the opportunity to get the upper hand!
Who would have thought that just as she had the idea, her husband told her that County Magistrate Gu had already been married.
This matter just went to waste, and Jiang Yan got angry with me, saying that she didn't want to cling to the powerful like other women.
…
Just think she is just making excuses to save face.
Now it seems that the mayor's secretary is not bad. I will call Jiang Yan down later and find an opportunity for them to get along with each other.
If she were to ask herself, it was County Magistrate Gu who was unlucky and missed out on her sister, who was as beautiful as a flower.
