Chapter 12 might be a smokescreen.
Zhou Dongliang was extremely nervous. His words were no longer enough, and his hands started to wander, trying to unbutton his shirt.
Xie Liting grabbed his hand with one hand and pushed Zhou Dongliang away with the other.
"etc!"
The two were panting heavily inside the car.
Zhou Dongliang felt as if his whole body was burning hot, as if he were on fire.
"Tingting, I love you!"
"I know, no... If you really love me, you have to respect me, otherwise you won't cherish me after we get married. If you love me, just bear with it. When we get married, I'll give myself to you completely."
If it were any other woman, Zhou Dongliang probably would have slapped her across the face.
But she was his goddess, someone he had loved to the core since he was young.
He was willing to make sacrifices for this woman and was willing to wait.
"Okay, I can wait for you."
"Thank you, Ah Dong. I'm going up now. I have things to do at the station tomorrow. I'm not like you; things are tough for me at the station."
Hsieh Li-ting seemingly unintentionally steered the conversation toward her work at the television station.
Zhou Dongliang seemed to remember something and immediately replied, "I asked my dad again about your station director matter."
He has already personally promised to do it for you.
However, you need to give him some time.
As you know, there's been a lot going on in the county lately.
Qiao Yong is dead. This has caused my dad a huge headache. The city has set up a special investigation team, which arrived in Yuanshan County yesterday.
Xie Liting nodded understandingly: "I understand, I'm not in a hurry."
Actually, I'm more anxious than anyone else.
She would never give Zhou Dongliang any food until she got the station director's job.
She has her own philosophy on how to deal with men.
There are specific guidelines regarding when and to what extent to apply them.
At this stage, we can only have a French kiss like we did before; we can't go any further.
You can't refuse to do anything without offering a little something in return.
Giving too much bait is also not good; once the fish have eaten all the bait on the hook, they will immediately go to other places to forage.
Xie Liting got out of the car and walked towards the building, but turned back when she reached the entrance.
Zhou Dongliang, who was about to light a cigarette, immediately put it down and looked at Xie Liting in surprise.
Xie Liting walked to the car, leaned in, and gently hugged Zhou Dongliang. She whispered softly in his ear, "Drive carefully on the road. Let me know when you get home so I don't worry."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back. Heh, you little rascal, I'll catch you red-handed.
Zhou Dongliang watched her figure disappear into the building, a sweet smile spreading across his face.
This must be love, right?
It just rained.
The dust over Yuanshan County has settled, and the night sky has become much cleaner and clearer.
Moonlight climbed up the branches and fell into the car window.
The moonlight shone on Zhou Dongliang's face. Looking at his rough face in the rearview mirror, Zhou Dongliang felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He took out his phone and sent a text message to Lin Wangyou of the county discipline inspection commission, informing him that Chen Dawei had left Yuanshan County and gone to Guangzhou to catch a plane.
After sending the message, I headed home.
At this moment, Lin Wangyou was in a suite at the Guohao Hotel, playing mahjong with Wu Maocai, director of the county government office, Xie Changhe, acting county magistrate, and Xiao Lili, director of the old cadres bureau.
Xiao Lili couldn't sleep. After failing to get Dawei to come over, she called Wu Maocai.
Hearing that Wu Maocai was having a late-night snack with County Chief Xie at the Guohao Hotel, she asked them to wait, as she wanted to join in the fun.
After finishing their late-night snack, Xie Changhe also called over Lin Wangyou from the county discipline inspection commission, and the four of them played mahjong together.
Since none of them are working tomorrow, Saturday, we might as well play a little later.
Lin Wangyou, who had just lost a game, saw Zhou Dongliang's text message and tossed his phone aside with a displeased expression: "That Chen Dawei, I wonder what trouble he's causing now. Is he planning to file a complaint with the emperor?"
Upon hearing that it was about Chen Dawei, Xiao Lili frowned: "What's wrong?"
"The traffic police discovered that Chen Dawei left the city late at night. After checking, they found out that he was going to Guangzhou to catch a plane to Beijing to attend his teacher's funeral. They don't know if it's true or not."
Xiao Lili's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had just asked Dawei to help unclog the drain, but Dawei said he couldn't come because he was busy. She thought it was just an excuse.
I never expected that something really bad would happen.
She almost misunderstood David.
"Don't worry, he's not some ignorant farmer. He's a top student and was the director of the county government office before. He wouldn't do something as stupid as going over the chain of command to appeal to higher authorities."
Xiao Lili still felt protective and sympathetic towards Dawei.
However, she dared not reveal this to Zhou Xiangzhang.
She was appointed as the deputy director of the county's organization department and the director of the bureau for retired cadres by Zhou Xiangzhang, so she had to unequivocally oppose all of Chen Dawei's actions in front of him.
Picking up a card, Lin Wangyou was still uneasy, hesitating as he raised the card: "Old Xie, do you think I should call my buddy at the Kyoto office and ask them to intercept them?"
Lin Wangyou has also been having trouble sleeping lately. The city's investigation team has already spoken with him twice, and he is under a lot of pressure.
I couldn't sleep well, so I came out here to play cards.
We were originally going to the water park, but since some women came, we changed our plans and started playing cards instead.
Xie Changhe was afraid this guy would ask him questions, so he wanted to avoid it if possible. He just hoped that Qiao Yong's matter would be over soon and that he would avoid getting involved.
But to my surprise, Lin Wangyou kept sticking to me and dragging me along, making it impossible for me not to express my opinion.
"Well... to be on the safe side, it would be better to intercept them and find out the details."
If it's really for a funeral, then let him go.
If it's not for a funeral, send it back.
The city's investigation team hasn't left yet, so we can't afford any more trouble at this critical juncture.
Secretary Zhou repeatedly emphasized that we must be extremely careful during this period.
Xiao Lili's eyes darted around, and she tapped the card table with her knuckles, saying impatiently, "Ugh, aren't you two annoying?!"
I finally got a break, and you guys couldn't even have a quiet moment to play cards.
It's all just these trivial things all day long.
Play your cards quickly!
What's there to worry about? Don't you think he would dare to do that?
To be honest, he's planning to resign.
"A person who is leaving won't complain, so you can rest assured."
Lin Wangyou rubbed the 80,000 yuan note in his hand, then slowly dialed it out: "Really?"
"Would I lie to you or what?"
"Where's your resignation letter?"
"I just mentioned it verbally this afternoon, but he went to Kyoto and didn't have time to write it down."
"This kid is no ordinary person; his IQ is too high. He might be a smokescreen."
Upon hearing this, Xie Changhe, who was about to draw a card, withdrew his hand, frowning in thought: "That's not impossible..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wangyou quickly covered his cards: "We'll play later, I'm going to make a phone call."
After saying that, he went to the next room to make a phone call to the people in Kyoto.
This isn't the first time this has been done.
People from Toyama Prefecture had previously tried to cause trouble in Kyoto, but they were all sent back after these people did this.
Still feeling uneasy after making the call, she came out and suggested to Xie Changhe, "How about we send two people from the county public security bureau, just in case?"
"There's no need to rush. We've received confirmation from Kyoto that he's going to file a complaint. We'll send someone to bring him back."
"Okay." Lin Wangyou sat down again, flipped the mahjong tiles over, and prepared to continue playing.
Xiao Lili pushed the cards in front of her over: "I'm not playing anymore, it's so boring, there's so much trouble playing cards."
Wu Maocai immediately stood up and poured some tea for Xiao Lili: "Director Xiao, please calm down."
Xiao Lili looked down on Wu Maocai, ignored him, and got up to leave.
The three men left in the room looked at each other, then smiled knowingly.
"Is Xiao Lili on her deathbed today?" Lin Wangyou, secretary of the county discipline inspection commission, shook his head with a wry smile.
Wu Maocai chuckled and said, "Perhaps it's her period. Women always have those few days when things don't go their way."
Xie Changhe immediately suggested, "So what should we do? We're one short. Should we find someone else to play, or..."
"Wash your feet," Lin Wangyou said firmly.
"Director Wu, please make the arrangements," Xie Changhe said, drawing out his voice.
Office Director Wu Maocai asked in a low voice, "Brother Lin, would you like to wash with vegetables or meat? If it's meat, we don't have any here, so we'll have to find another place."
"Let's move to a different place. Eating vegetarian food all the time will leave us with no energy."
The three of them left the Guohao Hotel and headed towards Rehe Town, where they could find meat.
Xiao Lili returned home alone; it was already past midnight.
She held her phone, hesitantly.
I wonder if I should call Chen Dawei.
If we don't call, Dawei might be stopped as soon as he gets off the plane in Kyoto.
If she were to fight, and word got out later, it would be tantamount to her betraying Zhou Xiangzhang's camp, and her fate would be dire.
She bit her red lips, agonizing over the decision.
