Yao Xiaoxia squinted her good-looking almond eyes, and looked at him with a careful study expression for a while, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she was telling her heart, more like defending herself:

"That being said, but if you rely on wages, you can only progress in the Year of the Monkey? There is a saying, I don't know if the senior brother has heard it? ”

"What?"

"The township level is dry, the county level is drunk, the prefectural division level is sent, and the provincial and ministerial level is born. Eating and drinking at the county level and pulling relationships, running away and hugging circles, you can't get into this occasion and don't want to make a difference. ”

Chen Dalong nodded in agreement:

"It's very imagery and apt, when I first went to work, I couldn't understand that some people were like clowns, slapping sycophants everywhere, singing and dancing in camps, playing mahjong and drinking, and later I learned that they were all some social and relationship means of officialdom."

"Only later?" Yao Xiaoxia asked rhetorically.

"yes, I'm a bit dull about that." Chen Dalong said with a smile.

Yao Xiaoxia's good-looking eyes quickly glanced at Chen Dalong and said, "Are you stupid? Who believes? ”

"There's no way, my parents are born with a face that others don't trust." Chen Dalong spread his hands, meaning, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, just tell the truth anyway." ”

"Giggle...... Chen Dalong, I didn't find that you still have many humorous cells in your body before, no wonder the women who like you are very beautiful, and they are all the best among women. ”

Chen Dalong felt a little pain in his heart, "There are indeed many women who like themselves, but so far I am still a divorced bachelor without a wife." ”

He didn't want to talk too much on this issue, so he suggested to Yao Xiaoxia: "Let's not talk about anything else, okay?" By the way, what the hell are you inviting me to dinner tonight? Let's get straight to the point. ”

After drinking this after a meal, Chen Dalong felt that his impression of Yao Xiaoxia seemed to have changed a lot compared to before. In the past, he, like all outsiders, just regarded Yao Xiaoxia as one of the many female cadres in the officialdom who relied on her body to pave the way and be promoted to higher positions.

After tonight's drink, he found that the woman in front of him was not good at nothing except beauty, at least she was very clear about the choices she had made and what shortcuts she would continue to take in the future.

This woman can be regarded as having a high emotional intelligence, and she can be regarded as having both beauty and wisdom, but it's a pity! The ambition for the career is too great to cause her to be famous now.

Yao Xiaoxia looked Chen Dalong up and down with a pair of eyes like a searchlight, and said, "Senior brother, you are too worried, I have nothing to do with you to dinner tonight, I just want to brag with you." ”

"Damn, you're in such a hurry to find me to eat just to brag? Panicked? Chen Dalong was a little unhappy in his heart, and was about to say a few words about the scene, so he simply raised his legs and walked away, when Yao Xiaoxia asked again:

"Senior brother, do you have any relatives in the province?"

Chen Dalong was taken aback, and hurriedly denied: "Where is it? Who doesn't know that I'm from Pushui? Does it matter if I'm still messing around here? Got to the province early? ”

"Really?" Yao Xiaoxia obviously didn't believe it.

"Not really." Chen Dalong's answer was categorical.

"Did I hear me wrong?" Yao Xiaoxia whispered to herself.

"What did you hear?"

She immediately covered it up and said, "Oh, it's nothing," and then added, "You are the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee this time, and it is useless for someone in the city to strongly oppose it, which is a rare situation." ”

"So you suspect that I have something to do with it?" Chen Dalong asked.

Yao Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it suspicious?" ”

Chen Dalong didn't want to entangle this issue with her, so he pretended to be indifferent: "Forget it, this matter has passed anyway, even if someone opposes my promotion to deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, the dust has already settled and the opposition is invalid, what are we doing with these old yellow calendars?" ”

"Passed? Didn't you? Yao Xiaoxia looked at Chen Dalong with a look of "don't hide it from me, I know everything" and said:

"I heard that Diao Yipin has been very unhappy with you recently because he has not competed for the deputy mayor, is there such a thing?"

"Yao Xiaoxia actually knows about Diao Yipin's recent confrontation with herself?" Chen Dalong's heart froze, and a line of defense was quietly arranged in his heart, what did this woman want to do, and smiled at Yao Xiaoxia and said:

"Officialdom is nothing more than fighting for positions, Minister Diao failed in the competition, if you have some opinions about me in your heart, it is normal."

"Giggles...... Yao Xiaoxia's laughter was so crisp, as melodious as a wind chime, "I don't have the slightest interest in those things between you and Diao Yipin, I only care about you can't do it for the benefit of some of your friends, and when the time comes, I don't care about me, a little junior sister, if that's really the case, I won't spare you." ”

Chen Dalong was a little disgusted by the tone of her speech, "Yao Xiaoxia is clearly relying on Liu Guoan's backing and wanting to warn herself in advance?" A typical fox and a fake tiger are powerful and powerful, but I can't help but buy her account, besides, what did Lao Tzu do to you, what do you have to spare Lao Tzu. ”

"What's the matter, drink and drink!" Chen Dalong picked up his wine glass and snorted, thinking about something, he didn't want to worry too much about women.

"Senior brother, is this giving me face? Then I'll thank you brother first! Yao Xiaoxia saw Chen Dalong with a smile on his face, and her mood seemed to be even happier, and she poured out her heart and lungs at Chen Dalong:

"Senior brother, you don't know, many times many people think that I am very strong, in fact, I am a woman, ordinary women, and they also need a man to understand and rely on, and tell you the truth, men are all perverts, and when they take advantage, they scramble one by one, and you expect them to understand you, it is impossible!"

Chen Dalong was surprised that Yao Xiaoxia was speaking foul language, and even more surprised that she also knew that she was an "ordinary" woman?

"Oh, understood."

Chen Dalong sighed very much, after all, it is despised and shameful for a woman to sell her body and soul to get a promotion opportunity, and it is a little cheap, although the country's laws do not explicitly prohibit her such behavior.

Yao Xiaoxia is extremely excited, it may be difficult to find someone like me who is willing to listen and feels very safe to talk to, and the wine is down quickly between words, and before I know it, a bottle of wine is finished.

"Another bottle?" Yao Xiaoxia saw that Chen Dalong was very sober and was not convinced, Chen Dalong had no choice but to beckon the waiter to open another bottle and pour it full.

Holding a newly opened bottle of wine in her hand, Yao Xiaoxia asked, "How much can you drink?" ”

"Seven, eight, two."

She shook her head, "Not honest, look at you, at least more than a pound and a half." ”

"To put it mildly, you have two cups of one cup and me, and you are not honest?" Chen Dalong defended.

"Chen Dalong, I like you......" Although Yao Xiaoxia spoke in a very low voice, she still startled Chen Dalong, she then added, "You are so handsome, so upright and enthusiastic, although you are smart, but you are still a more righteous and generous man in the officialdom. ”

"You've drunk too much."

Chen Dalong looked at the woman in front of him, and couldn't tell for a moment whether the woman was talking about wine or talking in her heart.

Yao Xiaoxia raised her red face and said to Chen Dalong seriously:

"Believe it or not, this is my opinion, I still trust you", she lowered her head, as if she was suddenly very sad.

Chen Dalong believed that what she said at this time was from the bottom of her heart, a person's eyes can't keep secrets, and a liar never dared to face people head-on, let alone reveal her inner emotions that needed the support and understanding of others, and he had a hunch that she had more important things to say.

Sure enough, when she raised her head, there were tears in her eyes, and she said sincerely:

"A lot of people are scolding me, scolding me for being right, forcing me to think," the more she spoke, the more she whispered, "Alas, it doesn't matter, one person laughs and laughs, and ten thousand people laugh or laugh, I asked you out today, mainly to make some things clear, in fact, I may be the same to you on the surface, but I never want to betray you in my heart." ”

Chen Dalong looked at the woman quietly and didn't make a sound, he had never been immune to women's tears, so he simply avoided his eyes and didn't look at them.

"I've been very happy since I arrived in Pushui...... You know why? Yao Xiaoxia asked.

Chen Dalong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Yao Xiaoxia glanced at Chen Dalong meaningfully and said, "Because of you." ”

"Me?" Chen Dalong was taken aback, this was unexpected.

"Anyway, it's all in the past, I have the right to tell the story, and you have the right to listen to it as a joke." Yao Xiaoxia said affectionately to Chen Dalong.

"Actually, the first thing I felt was that you were my kind of person, and I felt a sense of closeness in my heart. But then I knew that you had a family, and you didn't know that I was very miserable, sad, and sad in those days, but I was born so strong, and I forced a smile every day, and no one saw it, including you. ”

Saying this, she picked up the wine glass in front of her and dried it with a "grunt".

"Later, I met Jia Dada, and I knew that he was a man with a wife, but in Pushui County, he was very lonely alone, and he was less than fifty years old, and he was full of energy, so he kept hinting that I pretended not to know.

One afternoon in the days when I lost my soul, he invited me to dinner, and I couldn't excuse myself, and during the meal, he enlightened me with many questions, you know, Jia Da is very eloquent, and he is also very good-looking, and we were together that night.

Anyway, I also figured it out, working in the party and government departments, if you don't have a special relationship with the leader, it's too difficult to get ahead, and you can struggle with your ability, like me to become a yellow-faced woman, at best, I just enjoy the treatment of the department to end my life, I am really a little unwilling.

Jia Dahao is a more humane and principled person, I believe that he will not treat me badly, but I didn't expect this man to introduce me to Liu Guoan for the sake of his career. ”

Yao Xiaoxia said, she couldn't help but shed a tear, Chen Dalong believed that it was a very humiliating tear.

"Don't worry too much about this, everyone is out to mix, the rivers and lakes laugh and hate, there won't be some things that are too serious, hurt others and hurt yourself, why bother? Doesn't a person live for decades? Chen Dalong instinctively persuaded Yao Xiaoxia a few words.
