Chapter 268: The county magistrate goes on a blind date
Qi Dongsi left the old man's residence in a trance, and he barely listened to the old man's words later, and kept hovering in his mind with words such as Dragon and Tiger Special Combat Team, Liu Chen, and revenge, he thought that he could become a rare confidant with Liu Chen, but he didn't expect to be burdened with the revenge of killing his father. What made him feel even more uncomfortable and heartbroken was that he needed to face Ji Linyuan with another identity and mentality in the future.
For the most important position of his heart that has been opened to her, Qi Dongsi doesn't know how to take it back, take back the throbbing and lingering love in his heart that has been released, "I knew that I met like this, it is better not to meet", Qi Dongsi is in such a mood now.
Qi Dongsi leaned back in his chair, picked up a cup of Erguo alone, and poured it into his stomach with a gurgling mouth, this time the wine was particularly bitter and unpleasant, but he involuntarily picked up the bottle and sent it to his mouth.
It is said that a person drinks alcohol, and everyone is drunk if they are not drunk, because they are not drinking wine, they are drinking loneliness, but Qi Dongsi is drinking his own tears and pain, in his memory, except for the moment when his father left him, he was so sad, this is the first time, it is for a woman.
Between the beautiful ideal and the cruel reality, as if there is a fateful arrangement, there will always be an insurmountable distance, Qi Dongsi is looking forward to the cooperation with the Starlight Bar gradually deepening, in a suitable time, to confess his love to her, but now, under the cruel reality, all the good things have come to naught, and that strong sense of disparity makes the strong Qi Dongsi unconsciously shed tears.
No matter how strong a man is, there is always a woman in his heart who is willing to cry silently, Qi Dongsi saw the smile of Ji Linyuan who was drifting away, and his heart was like a knife.
Qi Dongsi and Liu Chen, who will Ji Linyuan choose?
Chang Ming tried to cook and eat at home, he had lived a single life for so many years, but he still couldn't learn to cook, and his clumsy technique made him spend a few hours to make a lunch, but when he sat at the dining table, looking at the five dishes that were not full of color and fragrance, his heart was still full of pride, many things, always have to come step by step, grow while learning, and the same should be true at work.
After eating, I was ready to take a nap, I was too busy last night, I went to visit Secretary Chen early this morning, I didn't get enough sleep, and I needed to make up for sleep.
Just about to fall asleep, the mobile phone suddenly rang, Chang Ming picked up the phone and saw that it was Secretary Chen calling, he was busy bounced up from the bed and asked, "Secretary Chen, what are you looking for me?"
Secretary Chen on the other end of the phone smiled: "County Magistrate Chang, are you free in the afternoon?"
"You're free, what's wrong?"
"Didn't I tell you to introduce you to a girl, she's here now, I want to meet you, if you have time, I'll arrange for you to meet. ”
Chang Ming remembered that Secretary Chen had indeed talked to him about this before, but he always thought that Secretary Chen was just talking casually, but he didn't expect it to be really serious, of course he couldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay, where to meet, I'll come over." ”
"Koharu teahouse, 14 o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, I'll be there on time. ”
Chang Ming couldn't fall asleep by Secretary Chen's phone call, and a complicated feeling surged up in his heart, excited and nervous, he had never been on a blind date, he really didn't know what to do, and a county magistrate went on a blind date, if it was rumored, the people of the entire Ningzhou County would laugh off their big teeth, but this was arranged by Secretary Chen, and there was no reason to refuse at all.
Chang Ming immediately got up, turned on his mobile phone and went online to Baidu, what should I do on a blind date? What clothes should I wear? What should I say and what I shouldn't say, what should I pay attention to.
The first time he came to the stage to hold a meeting with the county leaders, he was not so nervous, and Chang Ming's forehead was beaded with sweat, the weather was still a little cold.
said that he arrived on time, but Chang Ming rushed to Xiaochun Teahouse twenty minutes in advance, he dressed himself very refreshingly, his hair was fixed with some styling water, and his beard was shaved clean.
Liu Chen walked into the teahouse, booked a box with the front desk attendant, and then stood at the door of the teahouse, waiting for the arrival of Secretary Chen and the girl in the swishing cold wind.
They were very punctual, and at 14 o'clock the car came to the door of the teahouse and stopped, and Secretary Chen saw Chang Ming standing at the door to greet him, and hurriedly greeted: "You came early." ”
Chang Ming stepped forward to say hello: "Secretary Chen, you are here!" and then looked at the fashionably dressed and beautiful girl, and then returned to Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen smiled and introduced: "This is the girl I introduced to you, called Shu Xin." ”
Chang Ming immediately stepped forward to shake hands with the girl: "Miss Shuxin, hello, the name is quite nice, haha." ”
Secretary Chen turned to the girl again and introduced: "This is the Chang Mingchang County Magistrate of Ningzhou County, whom I told you. ”
The girl smiled and greeted: "Hello, County Magistrate Chang!"
"Just call me Chang Ming, haha. Chang Ming said politely.
After the introduction, Chang Ming led everyone to the box that had been booked, the fruit plate and snacks were ready, a pot of Biluochun and a pot of West Lake Longjing were placed on both sides, Chang Ming asked: "Miss Shuxin, what kind of tea do you drink?"
Shu Xin replied with some restraint: "West Lake Longjing tea." ”
Chang Ming picked up the teapot of Longjing tea, poured a cup for the girl and Secretary Chen, gently put it in front of them, and then poured it for himself.
"Be careful, it's hot. Chang Ming reminded.
Shu Xin held the tea in both hands and said with a smile: "You are quite a gentleman, I thought that the officials were very high." ”
Chang Ming smiled, pointed to Secretary Chen on the side and said: "Who did you listen to, do you think Secretary Chen is on top? The top leaders in Ningzhou County are so close to the people, of course we should follow suit, haha." ”
Secretary Chen was amused by these words, being close to the people is the image he has always pursued, and those who are officials must not be separated from the people, so that they can better serve the people.
Shu Xin nodded approvingly: "That's right, haha." ”
Chang Ming felt that the girl was a little restrained, and she spoke concisely and to the point, not much to say, then he remembered what he said on the Internet, when going on a blind date, boys should be more active, and girls like boys who are more proactive. So Chang Ming began to take the initiative to find a topic.
"Miss Shuxin, what do you like to do, and what are your hobbies?"
"I like to read, surf the Internet, listen to music, and run. ”
"Yes, I also like to read, I like to run, what do you like to read?"
"Finance, history, books. ”
"Haha, I also like it, especially in history, I have a lot of interest, and I also look at finance, such as Peter's Law, Occam's Razor Law of the zero-sum game, etc., I know a little bit. ”
Chang Ming actually didn't have any research on these, fortunately he knew a little bit about it, but he saw it on the Internet that boys need to start according to girls' interests and hobbies, which is easy to resonate, and Chang Ming is now learning and using it.
Shu Xin was very surprised by these professional words spoken by Chang Ming, but she didn't expect a county magistrate to have a lot of research on other aspects, she was very fascinated by knowledgeable people, and Chang Ming just exuded a strong air of erudition. Shu Xin was a little glad in his heart, but fortunately he did not refuse Secretary Chen's arrangement.
Secretary Chen saw that the two were chatting quite closely, so he found an excuse to leave, and he didn't even drink a sip of tea in the cup.
As soon as Secretary Chen left, only Chang Ming and Shu Xin were left, and the two young people suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, chatted about many broader and deeper topics, and even talked about some emotional things.
The more Shu Xin and Chang Ming chatted, the more relaxed they became, no longer as restrained as at the beginning, she asked in a low voice, "You...... Do you have a favorite girl?"
Chang Ming thought that Shu Xin was testing him, and in order to prove his integrity, he replied clearly: "No." But as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that this sentence might be misunderstood by Shu Xin, because this "no" would also include the other party, so he explained: "This was not before...... Uh, now...... Before...... It should be ...... later There should be, huh. ”
was nervous in his heart, and even the county magistrate, who was used to seeing big scenes, became incoherent, and his explanation, not only did not explain his words clearly, but became more and more misunderstood. Shu Xin didn't care about his past and future at all, he only cared about the present, but Chang Ming kept talking about the past and the future, and the panic like a child was written on his face, and Shu Xin covered his mouth with a smile.
Shu Xin also knew what Chang Ming meant, so she no longer bothered about this problem, she saw that the weather outside was good, so she proposed to go outside for a walk. As a boy, Chang Ming agreed, and offered to ask where to play, he was familiar with every place in Ningzhou County.
It's rare to have a good weather with the sun on, and I want to go to the lake for a walk, "I heard that the Yao Lake in Ningzhou is very beautiful, let's go for a walk over there." ”
The area of Yao Lake is not very large, but it is better than the beautiful scenery, the lake is surrounded by willow trees, and the surrounding circle is a green lawn, every time the weather is good, it is a place where families and couples swim together.
"That's a nice place, I'll take you. Chang Ming settled the bill, went to the parking lot to drive the car, and for fear of being recognized as his car, he specially borrowed an Audi car.
Comfortably sat in the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and said casually: "Your car is quite new." ”
Chang Ming started the car and replied while warming up the car: "Hehe, this car is not mine, it belongs to my friend." ”
Chang Ming's face didn't show the slightest embarrassment, and he naturally told the truth.
Shu Xin smiled naturally: "So, what about your car?"
"My car is too old, parked at home, usually drive to work, today because I want to see you, I can't drive a broken car out, so I borrowed it from a friend first, so that you can sit comfortably. Chang Ming turned his head and said with a smile at Shuxin.
