The specialty dish of the fishing village is fish, and after Li Dongsheng took a bite, he praised it endlessly.

After the dishes were ready, Hao Caimei picked up the wine glass and poured it for Deng Xiaobo and Li Dongsheng's wine glasses, then poured another glass for herself, picked it up and said, "Director Li, I toast you." ”

Li Dongsheng picked up the wine glass and touched it with it and drank it in one sip, and then said: "Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their benefits are broken, are you planning to join forces?" ”

"I'm just a lot of people, what can you do?"

"A lot of times it's not just a matter of a lot of people, like now."

"How do you know if you haven't tried?"

When Li Dongsheng spoke, he first picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Hao Caimei, who had finished drinking, and then poured himself another glass, picked it up and said, "Mayor Deng, Boss Hao, I salute you two with a glass." ”

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, and the grievances between the two were over. But Deng Xiaobo took a fancy to the ability and potential of Li Dongsheng and his wife. Although Li Dongsheng and Du Zhuqing are not even members of the municipal party committee, they both hold real power. With their support, his position will be more secure. A vote on the party committee is important, but the forces under your hands are even more important, because the people below are the cornerstone. Without a solid foundation, sooner or later not a single vote on the party committee will be preserved. The reason is simple, no one cares about the words of a bare-bones commander. Otherwise, personnel issues at the Standing Committee would not have erupted.

Deng Xiaobo did not let Hao Caimei avoid suspicion, just to give Li Dongsheng a frank impression. The refuge was mutual, and he believed that Li Dongsheng needed him, just as he needed the support of Li Dongsheng and Du Zhuqing.

It's not an urban area, so it's almost impossible to get a taxi at night. Therefore, Li Dongsheng took Deng Xiaobo's car back to the dormitory of the Public Security Bureau. As for Deng Xiaobo, he naturally stayed overnight at Hao Caimei's.

When he went back, Du Zhuqing was holding a notebook and reading the mail in the quilt. Now, not only enterprises, but also government departments are also promoting paperless office. Each department will send the documents that need to be approved to the mailbox of the relevant leaders, and after the leaders review them, sign their own opinions, and then send them back. As a result, piles of documents are no longer visible on the leader's desk.

Seeing Li Dongsheng coming in, Du Zhuqing immediately took his eyes off his notebook, and then complained: "Let me rush back after work every day, you are good, you come back so late every time." ”

"You're also a county magistrate, and you make yourself look like a resentful woman, isn't there something wrong with me?"

"How much can you do as a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? Could it be more than mine? ”

Li Dongsheng did not take up the topic, but said: "I proposed to Deng Xiaobo that he go to Yangfeng County to inspect at the right time." ”

After listening to Li Dongsheng's words, Du Zhuqing immediately became interested, and immediately asked, "How did you hook up with Deng Xiaobo?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, I can become this deputy director, which is the credit of Deng Xiaobo."

"It seems that Deng Xiaobo's strength is still quite strong." Immediately, her words changed: "Why should he help you?" ”

"Before I went to Shenzhen and Shanghai, his son Deng Quan once offended me, and you know that I have revenge, so I went to the door, I extorted him a sum of money, and left evidence. After knowing that my newly arrived township party secretary would not be able to work for long, I contacted him and exchanged the evidence for my current position. ”

"What are you eating this time—"

"I made a decision about the previous things in person, but I didn't expect him to want to recruit me, I think we also need this kind of support, so I will help you make the decision and agree."

Listening to Li Dongsheng's words, Du Zhuqing fell into deep thought. Without the support of her family, her county magistrate would become a child without a father. I don't know if it's an arrangement from the family, neither Xing Liang nor Gong Yanghua recruited her. She is the county magistrate, and whoever she defects to will greatly increase her strength.

This kind of thing is mutual, since neither of them has this intention, even if she has an idea, she can only suppress it in the bottom of her heart.

Originally, Deng Xiaobo did not enter her sight. The reason is very simple, although Deng Xiaobo is the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, he is also in charge of the economy, but his ranking on the Standing Committee is too low. Now knowing that it was he who put Li Dongsheng into this position is enough to prove his strength. It is also a good choice to join him, at least there is no need to be blind to the things discussed at the Standing Committee as before.

After a while, Du Zhuqing said: "It just so happens that some of my plans need policy support, you help me talk to him, and I will report to him." ”

"Well, I'll call him tomorrow."

"I heard that you made a lot of noise in the Public Security Bureau?" Du Zhuqing suddenly changed the topic.

"Even you know, it seems that the movement I made is indeed a bit big."

"Xichu is backward like this, and there is nothing to do on weekdays, you make such a big move, it's hard for people not to know."

"Hehehe・・・・・・"

"What do you think?"

"The people below asked me to solve the problem of vehicles and equipment, Xichu was poor like this, and I definitely couldn't reach out, so I found a way to solve it myself. I was worried that they would put their hands in my bowl, so I dug a hole for them. When the time comes, they will be embarrassed to reach out to me. ”

"You're bad enough, but you're not afraid of being alone?"

"Am I not following Shu Minglang closely? As long as he supports me, no one else is a problem. ”

"You are so capable, can you give me some investment, and with political achievements, I will be promoted, right?"

"No problem, tell me about your plan one day, and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Seeing that Li Dongsheng agreed so simply, Du Zhuqing was a little surprised.

Li Dongsheng didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked, "Is there anything abnormal today?" ”

Knowing that he was asking about the soul of the humanoid creature, Du Zhuqing shook his head and said, "No." ”

"That's good." As he spoke, his words changed sharply: "I just learned something, you have to try to cultivate, don't disturb me." ”

Du Zhuqing thought that Li Dongsheng was getting qigong or something, so she didn't care, because Li Dongsheng had been practicing, and she also knew that Li Dongsheng's skills were very powerful. But she saw Li Dongsheng turn around and go to the bathroom, and she didn't care about it, thinking that he probably went to take a shower and go to the toilet.

But after half an hour, she didn't hear the sound of Li Dongsheng taking a shower or flushing the toilet, so she immediately closed the notebook, hesitated, and walked sideways out of bed. Before he had taken two steps, he heard a crackling sound coming through the bathroom door. The sound was accompanied by a flash of bright light.

Walking to the door, thinking of Li Dongsheng's words telling her not to disturb, the hand that reached out to the doorknob retracted. But at this moment, the bright light appeared again, and the crackling sound sounded again, and then, a burnt smell seeped through the crack in the door. Before long, smoke came out again.

At this time, Du Zhuqing finally couldn't help but reach out and press the doorknob and pushed open the bathroom door. immediately saw a scene that she would never forget, and saw Li Dongsheng's right middle finger and index finger together in front of him, and he still had words in his mouth. There was a pungent smoke in the bathroom, and when she opened the door, it immediately filled the door.

Li Dongsheng's speech was fast and his voice was not loud, which was why she hadn't heard it before. His attention was unusually focused, and his eyes were fixed on the two fingers of his right hand, as if he didn't notice that the door had been pushed open.

When she opened the door, Li Dongsheng was at a critical moment, only to see his vertical right middle finger and index finger draw a small circle in front of him, and then move forward a little. A blinding arc of lightning sprouted out of thin air on his fingertips, and it was still sizzling. I saw that the two fingers of Li Dongsheng's right hand together suddenly pointed to the wall in front of him, and the slight arc of electricity at his fingertips went straight to the opposite wall. When the arc came into contact with the tiles on the wall, there was a crackling sound, and then green smoke came out.

Only then did Du Zhuqing see the black marks on the white tile opposite Li Dongsheng, and there were irregular cracks on the originally smooth and delicate tiles.
