The duo targeted the café on the top floor of the hotel, which was dimly lit but decorated with sophistication and luxury, with a candle on each table, flickering with the candlelight, with an indescribable ambiguity. There is a small stage in front of it, and a few foreigners are playing jazz music.

The place was chosen by Fang Xinyi, and she seemed to be familiar with this place, so she quickly ordered a latte. Liu Siyuan ordered a cappuccino, which has been very popular in recent years, mainly because he had never tasted it and wanted to try it.

"I'm sorry to ask you out so late." Liu Siyuan scratched his head and said.

Fang Xinyi smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't sleep anyway." ”

"How's it going?" It's a bit hypocritical for someone to ask, but in fact, the two of them often meet on the phone, mainly because Liu Siyuan asks her about some things about officialdom from time to time.

"That's it, but what about you? How is the development of Xiaohui? Fang Xinyi asked casually.

Liu Siyuan didn't expect her to take the initiative to bring the topic to Ding Hui, so she could only say honestly: "Actually, I don't know what the relationship between the two of us is, let's say it's boyfriend and girlfriend, we have never clearly confirmed it, say no, you know, we all live together." ”

Fang Xinyi lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said, "You are honest, don't you have any feelings for Xiaohui?" ”

Liu Siyuan thought about it and seemed to be really a little bit like that, seeing that he was silent, she continued: "I think if you really don't like her, it's better to make it clear as soon as possible, so that you can't tell you that you will harm others and yourself." ”

Liu Siyuan nodded, in fact, the thing that distressed him was that he had a relationship with Ding Hui on impulse last time, and if he said anything now, it would be a little unreasonable to say that she didn't feel it, Su zhì was too bad.

For a moment there was silence for both of them, except for the music and whispers at the next table, except for the sound of gently stirring coffee.

"Do you have someone you like?" Fang Xinyi suddenly raised her head and asked.

Liu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile in his heart, isn't the person he likes is you, but he doesn't dare to say it explicitly, should he confess? Again, it's a difficult choice to decide.

Every time in this choice, he is used to relying on that notebook to get some hints, but it is probably not appropriate to take out a notebook to write something on this occasion, otherwise she will really be treated as a pervert.

He could only say ambiguously: "Sort of, but I don't think she will like me, so it doesn't make much sense." ”

Fang Xinyi nodded as if she didn't have anything, her eyes were a little confused, she dragged her chin and said, "Actually, people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, maybe yours is also thinking of you in her heart, right?"

Liu Siyuan smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, aren't you chatting with me, and it's not wrong to say that you are thinking about me.

Fang Xinyi gently stirred her coffee, changed the subject and asked, "Well, Siyuan, what is your goal of becoming a civil servant?" ”

Liu Siyuan was a little unsure of how to answer by her question, and after thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly: "I said that I want to serve the people, I'm afraid you won't believe it, to be honest, for me, the original intention of taking the civil service exam is nothing more than a stable job, I didn't think about it so much." ”

She asked, "This is completely understandable, but what now?" After more than a year of work, it feels a little different, right? ”

Liu Siyuan said honestly: "Whether you believe it or not, I really haven't thought about this problem, I have been a little anxious about the recent things, and I don't have time to calm down and think about it." You can also say that I was a monk who hit the clock for a day, and it doesn't matter where I go. ”

Fang Xinyi stopped stirring the coffee, looked at him, and gradually became serious and said, "Your conditions are so good now, it's time to set a goal for yourself." ”

Liu Siyuan scratched his head and said, "Hehe, I said it, I really haven't thought about it." Speaking of which, I don't think I'm the material to be an official, and I'm really embarrassed to trouble you all this time......"

"It's okay, I have time anyway." Fang Xinyi smiled and said, "Actually, I've always envied you......"

"What do I have to envy?" Liu Siyuan said curiously.

Fang Xinyi pursed her lips and said with some emotion: "Of course, because you are a boy." In officialdom, men have a natural advantage. ”

Liu Siyuan thought for a while and tried to comfort: "There are a lot of female high-ranking officials now......"

Fang Xinyi shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't fool me like a child." The members of the Standing Committee of the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China are all gay men, and the 25 members of the Political Affairs Bureau are only one woman, and they are also relatively marginalized state councilors, and the more than 30 border officials only have one female secretary of the provincial party committee in southern Fujian,......"

Liu Siyuan was speechless for a while, and then she continued the topic just now: "So, you don't mind bothering me, I pin all my hopes on you, and sometimes I also have a sense of accomplishment when I watch you grow up step by step." It felt like I was recognized......"

Fang Xinyi's clever smile scratched someone's heart, should she confess or not? So he came up with a solution: an excuse to go to the toilet and ask for a notebook.

On the way to the bathroom, he kept praying, hoping that this product would be powerful at such a time! I don't know if the prayer took effect, anyway, a miracle happened, and when he opened his notebook in the cubicle, and was about to write down the question, four blue fonts automatically appeared......

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." When he returned to his seat, he sat down and apologized.

Fang Xinyi shook her head and smiled sweetly: "It's out of the way, this band is good, I like it very much." ”

Liu Siyuan smiled reluctantly, but what came to mind was the four words prompted in the notebook just now: the time has not come.

With the person he likes, time always flies quickly, and the two chatted until late so that Liu Siyuan was half an hour late the next day, and went into the office to find an excuse to explain it to the new director Yao Yuan.

But Yao Yuan was very polite. "Section Chief Liu, in principle, you don't have to report your attendance one by one, our work is special, as an old inspector, I believe in your consciousness." said that Liu Siyuan was weak for a while.

Before returning to her seat, Ouyang Qian greeted her again as soon as possible, and said, "Leader, why are you here so late?" Should you go on a date with a beautiful woman last night? Haven't slept all night, right? ”

Liu Siyuan couldn't help but be surprised by her intuition in his heart, and at the same time, he could only cry and laugh on the surface: "Comrade Ouyang, don't slander indiscriminately. ”

The latter pouted and said, "Cut, who knows, men are all dead virtuous." This blow was a bit big, and several gay men in the next section expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I said Ouyang, even if Liu Ke is a little romantic, it doesn't mean that all men are like this, right?" Xiang Lang couldn't help but jump out and explain.

"Who spoke to you? I'm reporting to the leader, are you fooling around?! Ouyang Qian's eyes widened, and he said viciously. It's just that her appearance is far more cute than fierce.

"That, Comrade Ouyang, let's do it, when you have time, help me collect some newspapers, cut out all the news and comments related to Xinyuan Chemical, or sort out any remarks on the Internet." Liu Siyuan stopped the two from arguing. "By the way, please consult Brother Xing for this kind of work, people have a lot of experience."

"Oh, okay." Ouyang Qian admitted, "By the way, Liu Ke, I'm about to have a birthday, don't forget to prepare a gift." ”

"Huh? What is your birthday? Liu Siyuan instinctively asked.

"Hmph, I don't know!" Ouyang Qian glared at him angrily, didn't answer, turned around and returned to his seat without speaking and sulking.

"Hehe, Liu Ke, you don't care about your colleagues too much, isn't Xiaoqian's birthday this Saturday." Xiang Lang suddenly jumped out of nowhere. Immediately found Ouyang Qian's murderous eyes, and ran away again in fright.

"That kid is so annoying, one day clean him up!" Ouyang Qian muttered to herself viciously. After a while, he ran to Liu Siyuan, who was reading the newspaper, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said with a little coquettishness: "Brother Siyuan, since you know my birthday, what are your plans?" In her opinion, this kind of Cheng dù implication is already her limit, but some people just don't understand.

"Plans? This, Xiaoqian, how are you going to celebrate your birthday? Liu Siyuan asked a little confused.

"I'm still thinking about it, but will Brother Siyuan come to celebrate my birthday?" Ouyang Qian was very mad about someone's sluggishness, and could only say it almost explicitly.

It is naturally important to have a good relationship with Minister Ouyang's daughter, Liu Siyuan immediately said: "There is no problem with this, since Comrade Ouyang invited me, of course he wants to come, and he will inform me when the time comes, even if he has to go to the ends of the earth." ”

"What did you say, the ends of the earth?" Ouyang Qian walked away satisfied, seeing her snickering expression, someone always felt a little uneasy
