man Sun Yucai said, "Xiao Weiye, you are the star of the show today." 。The Song Shu told me frankly that he hadn't really cared for you before, so this time he specially arranged this dinner to celebr...Li Haiyan now lives in the youth cadre dormitory of the municipal government. 。This place is within a mile of the city hall, and the house was built just a few years ago, so the exterior wall looks quite new. There's a flower bed paved outside the fence, with bougainvillea planted inside, which blooms lively for several months. 。

Most people living here are young people from outside the city who work for the municipal government, and they usually eat in the cafeteria. They rarely come back at noon. 。Xiao Zheng and Haiyan booked for noon at twelve o'clock. 。Xiao Zheng also arrived at the dormitory for young cadres right on time. He saw that there was a transmission room set up outside, with an elderly doorman inside. 。Xiao Zheng did not rashly demand to go in, but sat in the car and waited. 。In a little while, Li Haiyan appeared, carrying a heavy bag in her hand. It must have been the lunch she had prepared for them. 。Xiao Zheng got out of the car. Li Haiyan saw Xiao Zheng and waved to him. The autumn sun shone on her, making her look both delicate and bright in her beige slim-fitting knitted sweater and off-white midi skirt. 。A gentle breeze blew, sending her long hair across her face, obscuring her vision. Li Haiyan brushed it aside, and her face had gained a rosy hue. 。I don't know if she blushed because she was walking here and her body felt hot, or if it was because she saw Xiao Zheng and got a little excited Xiao Zheng walked forward two steps and said: "Give me the things, I'll help you carry them." 。Li Haiyan said, “No need, I’ll do it myself.” 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Let me carry it. You must be tired from carrying it all the way from the courtyard here." 。"Li Haiyan smiled at him and said, “I'm in the service industry. What’s there to >>> 。Kao Xiaozheng didn't say anything, he just took it from her hand. In the process, their hands naturally touched each other. 。Li Haiyan felt Xiao Zheng's hand, warm and thick. A wave of warmth suddenly swept through her body, and she had to let go, saying, "Thank you, Master" 。"Just be yourself around me," 。Li Haiyan immediately said, “How could that be” 。“The two arrived at the transmitting room door. The guard, seeing Li Haiyan, said, “You’re back for lunch today too” Li Haiyan replied cheerfully, “Yes, sir. It hasn't been easy on you.” " 。It can be seen that Li Haiyan and the doorman have a very good relationship. 。The old man glanced at Xiao Zheng again, he didn't recognize him, but seeing Xiao Zheng in a suit, tall and straight, with a righteous air, he felt good about him. He couldn't help but nudge Li Haiyan: "This... boyfriend" Li Haiyan blushed and said, "Oh... not yet..." The old man smiled: "Then it will be soon!" 。Go in quickly. 。Li Haiyan nodded and walked inside. 。Xiao Zheng took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them to the old man: “Please, sir, take care of Haiyan.” 。The old man saw that it was good tobacco, and as he accepted it, he said, "No, no, it's Haiyan taking care of us old fellows." 。I won't disturb you, get upstairs quickly. 。Li Haiyan turned back and said, "Sir, our Zhang department head will also come to eat later, you let him in." 。"Elderly man said, “Zhang Department Head is it Alright, I know…" 。Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan went upstairs. The doorman returned to the communication room, looking at the package of soft Zhonghua cigarettes and muttering to himself: "They are so generous! If these two could become a couple, that would be great! But judging by their looks, it should be happening soon." 。Have you all come back for lunch yet 。Li Haiyan's apartment is very warm. 。Li Haiyan put the packed lunch on her long, narrow table, Xiao Zheng also helped with the setup. 。The two had just set out their midday meal when Zhang Yimeng knocked at the door outside. 。Xiao Zheng opened the door, and Zhang Yihong said: "Junior brother, you're here already"

Xiao Zheng said: "Come in quickly" 。"Zhang Yihong sniffed, walking in and saying, "It smells so good. What delicious food has our Haiyan secretary prepared" Li Haiyan said, "They're all takeout from the cafeteria: spicy chicken, fried tofu, river shrimp, minced meat eggplant, stir-fried embroidered flowers, and thousand layer buns. That's all." 。It's a pity it's lunchtime, so I can't treat you to drinks. I bought three cans of Coke instead. 。"Can it be done"

Zhang Yimou said, "Yes, it can! Though we're not eating at a hotel, it's even better than that!" 。"Junior brother, do you think so too" Xiao Zheng said. "Senior brother, you're not normally someone who isn't good with words, are you Today I discovered for the first time that you're quite eloquent!"

Zhang Yihong coughed twice and said, "Recently... Didn't you ask me to be a 'mole' So I specially learned how to talk..." 。"Talking about "undercover agents" is the real reason we're all here for lunch today," Xiao Zheng said. "Let's sit down, eat and chat." 。"Li Haiyan also said, “It's ready to eat, you guys come and sit down." 。Three people sat down, opened their cans of cola, clinked them together, and took a sip. Zhang Yiming said: "This feels a bit like underground work." 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Senior brother, your previous concerns are also reasonable. We can't let them suspect your motives." 。"

That's right." 。"If they suspected me, not only would I have personal safety issues, but this whole thing wouldn't have gotten done. Let alone being able to learn about their core figures, operational methods, and the use of their funds." 。“Xiao Zheng felt a bit embarrassed and said, “But your current position is the head of the city government's various departments and Xiao Mayor’s comprehensive secretary for written work.” 。。Zhan Chief, it doesn't matter if I say this to you here. In fact, Mayor Xiao quite approves of your work. She is planning to put forward a recommendation to the organization to consider promoting you to Deputy Director of the Municipal Government Office. 。But after all, this also takes time, I'm afraid it won't be so soon. 。Hearing that Mayor Xiao highly approves of his own work and intends to promote himself afterward, Zhang Yihong couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. It seems that his efforts haven't gone unnoticed by the leadership. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Even if we act after being promoted, the people in that circle will still suspect Senior Brother..." 。After all, my senior brother was promoted by Mayor Xiao. Mayor Xiao is against and intends to crack down on "setting off fireworks." As Mayor Xiao's assistant, how could they believe him

"Yes, that's indeed... but..." Suddenly Zhang Yihong had a thought and said, "I have an idea, although it's a bit bold, it might actually work. We can give it a try" 。"Neither Xiao Zheng nor Li Haiyan knew what Zhang Yixiong was thinking. They both asked, "What's the idea" Zhang Yixiong said, "With my current position, they will suspect me; if I get promoted, they will still suspect me; but what if I am disliked" Li Haiyan asked, "What do you mean How can you be disliked" Zhang Yixiong said, "What I mean is, if Mayor Xiao publicly states that he is dissatisfied with my work and dislikes me, kicking me out of the position of Text Integration Secretary and throwing me to the most insignificant department in the Government Office According to everyone's understanding, this would mean my future prospects would be basically ruined, or at least there would be no hope for a while. My morale would be low, I wouldn't strive for progress, and I would only want to make money through 'setting off fireworks.' Doesn't that sound logical" Xiao Zheng and Li Haiyan looked at each other and both thought this idea was quite good. Xiao Zheng said, "That is indeed logical." 。Li Haiyan said: "But, that's too unfair to Zhang Chang!"

Zhang Yihong said: "It doesn't matter if he feels a little wronged." 。I've been feeling wronged all this time. If it weren't for Mayor Xiao's appreciation, I would be insignificant in the Municipal Government Office, a nobody that no one cares about. 。Given the current circumstances and work requirements, enduring some discomfort for a while isn't a big deal. 。"Xiao Zheng picked up the Coke on the table and toasted Zhang Yihong, saying, “Then I’ll trouble Senior Brother!” Zhang Yihong said, "That's it. Haiyan, you report this to Mayor Xiao." 。“I understand,” said Li Haiyan. 。Three people discussed and came up with this method. The three of them ate slowly and chatted for a while. When it was almost time to go to work, Zhang Yihong left first, followed by Xiao Zheng. 。As he reached the door, the gatekeeper shouted to Xiao Zheng: "Young man, remember to come here often in the future." 。Haoyan is a good girl, she works well and serves as the secretary to her leader. In the future, she's sure to become a leader herself. It's hard to find such a good girl, you should seize this opportunity. 。Xiao Zheng knew the doorman had misunderstood, but defending himself would only make him more suspicious. He might as well play along with the old man: "Oh, thank you, grandpa." 。"The doorman smiled and said, “There’s nothing to thank me for.” 。From now on, I'll give you the green light here. Just come, and I'll let you in. 。I don't know if the old man was guarding his pack of cigarettes, so he wanted to do something for him, or if he genuinely encouraged Xiao Zheng to pursue Li Haiyan. He could only say: "Thank you" 。"

Unexpectedly, the doorman ran out from the transmission room and leaned in close to Xiao Zheng, whispering, “I have a tip for you, son. When chasing after a girl, sometimes playing it cool and just getting down to business is the most effective approach.” 。Xiao Zheng thought, this old man really knows how to get things done. 。But thinking that he was also well-intentioned, Xiao Zheng laughed and joked: "Uncle, it's already 'cooked'." 。The doorman looked at Xiao Zheng with a strange look, then gave him a thumbs up: “Young man, you're pretty quick, good job!” Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu made plans for dinner, but Xiao Jingyu was busy in the afternoon, so Xiao Zheng couldn’t meet him. 。He had been thinking about one thing these past two days, and that was finding "Zhou Muyun". 。The "Zhou Muyun" he's looking for is not the one who likes to play tricks, "Zhou Muyun", but the real professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine who can cure diseases with his hands. 。Some time ago, Xiao Zheng had visited the house in the old town district. An elderly man had once taken his cigarettes and Maotai liquor at the door of that house. 。Later, he went to visit again, but only a young girl in a qipao came out and said there was no old man there, only her and her mother lived there. 。Have him schedule another time to come. 。

This afternoon, Xiao Zheng planned to run another errand since he had nothing to do anyway. 。Shall we call first He's thinking of just dropping by, that way he might be more likely to see the old man. 。cue arrived, leaving only Ye Fengnian behind. In this completely dark place, close to the underworld, it would be an unbearable feeling worse than fear!Fang Ya was truly unable to move: "Okay..." On t...
