Chapter 1185: A Mistake
Zhao Changshu finally chose to kiss Xie Xingxing, he didn't want Xie Xingxing to lose face in front of so many people. However, Xie Xingxing felt Zhao Changlan's kiss, but his heart was not only not excited, but became more and more cold. Because Zhao Changlan's kiss was too cold, there was no warmth.
Xie Xingxing could even be sure that Zhao Changshu was just perfunctory to himself, but he didn't want to embarrass himself too much. She found that when Zhao Changshu kissed her, his hands didn't even wrap around his waist, and they naturally hung down on the sides of his own thighs. This shows that when Zhao Changshu kissed himself, he didn't care at all. His kiss was not out of love, but purely out of courtesy.
The other people in the room didn't notice this detail, they saw that Zhao Changshu really kissed Xie Xingxing, so they coaxed together. They all shouted for another one.
Xie Xingxing took his hand away from Zhao Changlan's neck, just looked at Zhao Changlan, and said quietly, "Can we find a place to talk alone." β
"Absolutely. But they," Zhao said immediately.
Xie Xingxing turned his head and smiled at a few good sisters and said, "Sisters." I have something to say to Brother Gun, let's leave first. Everyone eats and drinks well. Mr. Policeman, please send these sisters of mine home later, okay? Their dormitories are all together and convenient. Their homes are not in Jiahe City, and they can't go home for the Spring Festival because they work. You are also welcome to accompany them for the Spring Festival. β
The two policemen's eyes suddenly lit up, and they said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, rest assured, you will do it." It is our duty to serve the people. β
Several beauties rolled their eyes at the two young policemen, and a girl said even more boldly: "Hmph, what bullshit serves the people, I think you want to pick up girls." β
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and this time even Zhao Changshu laughed. How did these two policemen come, Zhao Changshu didn't need to think about it, he must have called the police himself, and they rushed over. But now it seems that these two guys are now selfish and forgetful. However, Zhao Changshu really hopes that these two young men can hug the beauty.
Zhao Changshu and Xie Xingxing left the private room amid everyone's laughter. Zhao Changshu took the initiative to pay the bill, and then left the hotel with Xie Xingxing.
The streets of Jiahe City are lit up with neon lights and brilliant lights. From time to time, there was a burst of explosions in the air, and then there were brilliant fireworks. People who are anxious can't wait for the Spring Festival to come, so they want to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in advance.
Although the Spring Festival is only one day away, the merchants have no intention of stopping at all, and they all want to seize the time before the year to make another fortune. The sound of horns one after another seems to make the night sky warm in this winter.
However, Xie Xingxing's heart did not have a little warmth, she wrapped the beige windbreaker with her hand, and said quietly: "It's so cold, it seems to be snowing." β
"Let's go, find a place where I will treat you to a drink and wish you a happy birthday. Zhao Changshu said as he strode towards his super Hummer.
"You don't want to ask me what the hell was going on. Xie Xingxing asked.
"Do you need to ask? Everything is clear. Zhao Changshu said lightly.
"Then you're not angry. Xie Xingxing said hesitantly.
"Don't be angry, what's there to be angry about. Zhao Changshu said with a smile.
When he just figured it out, he was very angry that Xie Xingxian had nothing to do this kind of prank. But when he kissed Xie Xingxing just now, he was no longer angry.
Xie Xingxing did this precisely because she loved him. Being loved by a woman is not a bad thing. Why should he Zhao Changshu be angry.
Zhao Changshu was not angry, Xie Xingxing should have been happy, but at this moment, she didn't mean to be happy at all. Zhao Changshu is not angry, perhaps it just shows that he really doesn't like himself.
Neither of them spoke again, but got into Zhao Changlan's car together.
Ten minutes later, the two of them sat in the booth of a coffee shop.
"Just in the hotel, thank you. Xie Xingxing thought for a moment and said.
"Thank me for what. β
"Thank you for not embarrassing me too much. After finishing speaking, Xie Xingxing paused, stirred the coffee in front of him a few times, and then continued: "It's me who is too naΓ―ve. Originally, when I saw you coming, I thought you still had me in your heart, but after you kissed me, I knew I was wrong. I'm not going to get you for the rest of my life. Xie Xingxing said in a low voice, not so much talking to Zhao Changshu as he was talking about himself.
"I'm sorry, I really already have a girlfriend"
Zhao Changshu wanted to explain to Xie Xingxing, but Xie Xingxing interrupted him and said, "You don't have to explain, I know." In fact, our encounter was originally a mistake. If it weren't for my brother's attempt to use me to get closer to you, we might not know each other in this life or in this life. β
"Your brother. Xie Liqiang. What does it have to do with him about the things between us. Zhao Changshu immediately asked sensitively. He subconsciously thought that Xie Liqiang wanted his sister to get close to him in order to catch a photo of himself and his sister together, and then threaten himself with it.
Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. It's no wonder that Zhao Changshu thinks like this, after all, he has encountered such a thing before.
When Xie Xingxing saw Zhao Changlan's appearance, he roughly guessed what Zhao Changshu was thinking. She immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, my brother didn't intend to use me to harm you. He's just trying to use me to get closer to you. He also really wants me to be with you. β
Zhao Changshu somewhat understood what Xie Liqiang meant, this is a low-level political marriage. But he still frowned and asked, "Why did he do this?" β
Xie Xingxing sighed softly and said: "Since Zhao Zhuang was transferred from Furong Town to Qingshui Town, my brother's life has been difficult, not only is he often criticized by his superiors, but his prestige in the town has gradually decreased, and even some old subordinates who were loyal to him before dared to challenge the authority of my brother as the secretary of the town party committee. My brother is expected to run a general election next year, and he will probably lose the election. So after I heard that you had returned to Zhaozhuang, I wanted to get close to you. But he doesn't have a good relationship with you, that's why he wants to get close to you through me and ask you to help him. β
Speaking of this, Xie Xingxing paused for a moment before continuing: "Brother Gun, although we have no hope of being together. But I want you to promise me one thing. β
"Let me help your brother Xie Liqiang. Zhao Changshu immediately understood what Xie Xingxing meant.
Xie Xingxing didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Changshu and nodded.
Zhao Changshu didn't say anything immediately, just gently stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon. The weather was cold, and the coffee was already not hot, but Zhao Changlan was still stirring mechanically. He's thinking about things.
General Patton once said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and to paraphrase, an officer who does not want to climb up is not a good official. Therefore, Zhao Changshu didn't hate Xie Liqiang thinking about how to climb up all day long.
What he is disgusted with is that although Xie Liqiang does not want to climb up all the time, he does not want to improve his political performance through his own real efforts, but thinks about how to tie up with his superiors all day long, have a good relationship with his superiors, obtain the appreciation of his superiors, and then let his superiors promote him.
In the officialdom of Huaguo, people like Xie Liqiang are not an exception, but represent many people. If this kind of person can meet a superior who likes to listen to his subordinates slap the horse, he will definitely climb faster than others, but if he meets a more fair and just superior, it will be difficult for them to continue to climb up by slapping the horse.
"You think I can help your brother. After about a minute, Zhao Changshu asked lightly.
Xie Xingxing was obviously stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhao Changshu to ask such a question. For her, this is a nonsense, if Zhao Changshu can't help his brother Xie Liqiang, Xie Liqiang will do everything possible to even use himself to get close to Zhao Changlan.
"Why don't you speak. Zhao Changshu saw that Xie Xingxing didn't speak immediately, so he asked.
"I guess so. Xie Xingxing said with some uncertainty.
"Then do you think I should help your brother? Zhao Changshu asked again.
"This"
Xie Xingxing didn't know how to answer Zhao Changshu. She used to think very simply, according to her understanding, she loved Zhao Changshu so much, but in order not to affect Zhao Changlan's life, she now took the initiative to leave him. In a sense, this is already her last request, and Zhao Changshu should agree to this small request even if it is difficult.
But now that Xie Xingxing listened to Zhao Changlan's somewhat meaningful words, he suddenly remembered a lot of things in his heart.
Xie Liqiang is Xie Xingxing's cousin, and the two usually meet each other. What kind of person is brother Xie Liqiang, Xie Xingxing's heart is clear. He has a small belly, a small belly, a mouse-eyed, a penchant for speculation, and most importantly, he is also corrupt and bribed.
Although his brother Xie Liqiang is only a town party secretary, he has two houses of more than 120 square meters in Jiahe City. His son, who is also his nephew, also bought a house in Yanjing, and paid for it in full. And he is just a small clerk in an advertising company, and his monthly salary is not enough for him to talk about his girlfriend's expenses, where does he get the money to buy a house.
If Xie Liqiang is not corrupt, he will not believe Xie Xingxing if he kills him.
Now just because he is his brother, he came to ask Zhao Changshu to help him, and even faintly wanted to blackmail Zhao Changlan. Is it really good to do it yourself. Isn't there a bit of a public and private inseparability?
"Xie Xingxing, to be honest, you are a good girl. It's not wrong for you to come to me for Xie Liqiang's matter, because he is your brother after all, but I can't promise you. Because if I promise you, although you and your brother will remember my benefit, I will be poked in the back by the people of Furong Town. β
"What is the most important duty of a cadre? It is to let the people under his rule live better and live more excitingly. This is the ultimate goal of every cadre. Everything they do is in the service of this goal. But if you ask yourself, your brother Xie Liqiang has been in the position of secretary of the Furong Town Party Committee for several years. And what has changed in the lives of the people of Furong Town? Do you think he deserves to be the secretary of the town party committee? β
