Chapter 44: A Slept Through the Day
The official document has not yet come down, but the gossip has spread overwhelmingly in the coastal officialdom, saying that Li Xiaoning has fallen out of favor and has been beaten into the cold palace, some people are shocked and regretful, and a considerable number of people are gloating.
After Hou Xiu learned the news, he was very shocked and angry, and he was about to call on the spot to find a relationship to help Li Xiaoning dredge, but was stopped by Li Xiaoning, "Xiucai, don't be busy." This is a decision made by the Provincial Standing Committee, and the official document has also come down, and the result cannot be changed. ”
Hou Xiucai said excitedly: "How can it be done?" This streaking propaganda was made by me cāo, how can you suffer it for me? ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "I am the boss, you are a part-time worker, and the honor is mine, so naturally I have to suffer from the board." Besides, you're not in the system, so where is your turn to be punished? ”
"I'm sorry, boss, but I didn't think it through enough. I expected pressure, but not to get you out of office! Hou Xiucai's tone was a little guilty, and a little unwilling.
"It's none of your business." Li Xiaoning breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This is someone deliberately trying to fix me." Otherwise, even if I am a small town party secretary, even if I am at the deputy department level, it will never be the turn of the provincial standing committee to discuss and decide. Moreover, it was the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor who unanimously decided to punish me. ”
"I'll just say you should break up with Cheng Xiaoxi." Hou Xiucai frowned and said, "Lin Guodong must be angry because you gave up Lin Xi for Cheng Xiaoxi. ”
"These are two different things." Li Xiaoning waved his hand and said, "If Lin Guodong wants to rectify me because of this, then it is even more impossible for me to compromise with him." ”
"But from the perspective of interests, you should still choose Lin Xi or Guan Yalin." Hou Xiucai persuaded bitterly.
"In this world, there are not only interests, but also feelings." Li Xiaoning said resolutely, "I am very happy with Xiaoxi, and I will not abandon her because of interests." ”
"Okay. I won't force you to do this, but we'll have to think about what to do next to get you back to the center of power. Hou Xiucai said with a heavy expression, "You must not stay in the Youth League Committee below for a long time, otherwise you will be forgotten, and it will be difficult to make a difference." ”
"Don't think about it yet." Li Xiaoning said a little tiredly, "Since I stepped into the officialdom, I have been in a state of full capacity, tired, and want to rest." "This blow really hurt Li Xiaoning's heart, and it also gave him a sense of powerlessness, he is just a very small chess piece in the power struggle, with ideas, talent, drive, and courage, these are all useless, people want to fix you, you just need to move your mouth lightly.
"You can't be depressed." Hou Xiucai said excitedly, "After all, your level is still at the regular level, and your age is still very young, as long as you work hard, you still have a chance." ”
Li Xiaoning shook his hand and said, "Xiucai, I really don't want to talk about this today." Another day, I want to rest for a while. ”
Hou Xiucai had no choice but to say no more, he also understood that Li Xiaoning was not a saint, and after being hit by this, he had no negative thoughts in his heart, which was also impossible. It would be good to give him a few days to calm down.
After Yu Langhuan received the notice, she was also very shocked, and called to say that she wanted to go to Liu Qifeng with Li Xiaoning and appeal for him. Li Xiaoning also rejected Yu Langhuan's kindness, he knew that the matter was irreparable, but he still instructed Yu Langhuan to continue to promote the development of the new ecological area project, and to benefit the people, not to let his efforts be in vain.
"Well, don't worry, I won't let your plan fall through the cracks!" Yu Langhuan solemnly promised.
Originally, the staff in the town government were eager to glance in front of Li Xiaoning if they were fine, hoping to get his attention, but now everyone wants to stay away from him, for fear of being implicated.
Seeing that the world was so hot and cold, Li Xiaoning felt even more disheartened, he got off work early and drove to the city, where there was Cheng Xiaoxi, and there was a harbor for him to hide and lick his wounds.
Faced with separation again, both of them seem a little crazy. This night, the two of them let go of everything and just frantically enjoyed each other's possession at the moment. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that they hugged each other and fell asleep.
The weather in March was still very cold, and Cheng Xiaoxi didn't want to get up in bed. Not only did she not afford it, but she also didn't let Li Xiaoning get up. Until more than nine o'clock, it was already past work time, and she still tightly hooked Li Xiaoning's waist with her two legs to prevent him from moving.
Li Xiaoning hadn't had the habit of sleeping lazy for a long time, he was struggling to get up while laughing, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of hurting Cheng Xiaoxi. He grabbed Cheng Xiaoxi's wrist and said, "Xiaoxi, don't make trouble." It's okay if I don't go, you haven't asked for leave yet! ”
Cheng Xiaoxi stared at Li Xiaoning silently, Li Xiaoning thought that she had agreed to get up by herself, but as soon as his hand was released, Cheng Xiaoxi flipped over to him like a snake, and while locking his doppelganger, he also grabbed his hair.
When Cheng Xiaoxi went crazy, his hands were not a little light, and Li Xiaoning, who was in pain, grinned and screamed, and went crazy again, before Cheng Xiaoxi let go of Li Xiaoning. Tumbling over on the bed, he stretched his limbs vigorously, and stretched out his waist in a long voice. Li Xiaoning took the opportunity to get up and start dressing.
"Husband, don't be an official." Cheng Xiaoxi turned over, and a few drops of shiny sweat rolled on her smooth back and fragrant buttocks, which were as lovely as morning dew.
"What do you do if you are not an official?" Li Xiaoning said while putting on his pants.
"Don't you have millions now? Why don't you quit your job and go to the sea to do business. Cheng Xiaoxi lay on the bed, and her two feet were naughtily erected and said, "I want to get married." I want to buy a house, buy a set of two, no, set three, no, no, I want a villa, a big villa ......"
Li Xiaoning smiled and didn't speak, although this blow made him a little disheartened, but it didn't make him give up completely, although he didn't have a long time to step into officialdom, but he already liked the feeling of turning his ambitions into reality, compared to the accumulation of personal wealth, he preferred the sense of fulfillment that let everyone under his rule live a good life.
"Are you talking about not wanting to buy a house for me?" Cheng Xiaoxi said coquettishly. She now likes to be coquettish with Li Xiaoning more and more, Li Xiaoning is so good to her, likes her so much, as if she is a princess. Sometimes she feels that she is becoming more and more unreasonable, but she does not intend to change this situation, but is very proud, how fun is it to be unreasonable? Who made Li Xiaoning like himself? Lin Xi is prettier than myself, and her background is better than herself, but what's the use? Li Xiaoning likes himself, not Lin Xi.
Li Xiaoning had already dressed, turned around and said to Cheng Xiaoxi: "When I return to Binhai again, let's buy a house, okay?" ”
"Don't cheat!" Cheng Xiaoxi jumped down naked and said in Li Xiaoning's arms. She didn't really want Li Xiaoning to buy a house, she just wanted to enjoy this feeling of Li Xiaoning's obedience to herself.
"Definitely not cheating." Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "Go back quickly, don't freeze." ”
"Oops, it's cold." Cheng Xiaoxi screamed and got back into the bed.
Li Xiaoning walked into the kitchen and cooked the porridge, fried four more eggs, and mixed a cucumber as a cold dish. In fact, there was a ready-made breakfast downstairs, but he didn't want to buy it. He used to do very little housework, but now he enjoys the feeling, the feeling of cooking for his own woman.
It is true that Cheng Xiaoxi does not have the same family background as Guan Yalin and Lin Xi, and she can't help herself as much as Tang Wei and Xu Jing, but this is also where she is rare and valuable. Guan Yalin and Lin Xi are the emperor's daughters, and they don't have to worry about getting married, and they don't have to worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives; Tang Wei and Xu Jing are also successful women, living without men. And when Cheng Xiaoxi fell in love with him, he had nothing, and Cheng Xiaoxi also had nothing. In fact, she can live according to the life that her parents have planned for her. But she was willing to suffer with a poor boy herself, which touched him very much.
On this day, Li Xiaoning completely gave himself a day off, turned off his mobile phone, accompanied Cheng Xiaoxi to turn around the interesting places on the coast, looked at Cheng Xiaoxi's heartfelt smile, and in that moment, Li Xiaoning really had the urge to resign and go to the sea.
Impulses are just impulses after all, and reality is still reality after all. When you are tired, you can give yourself a day off and sleep for a day. But if you sleep lazily every day, your life will be ruined.
That night, Li Xiaoning did not stay, but rushed back to Jinsha Town overnight. He had a hunch that the official document in the city would come down tomorrow.
As Li Xiaoning expected, because it was the decision of the provincial standing committee, the city implemented it very resolutely, and early the next morning, Hou Weijun, the head of the organization department, went to Jinsha Town to announce the decision to transfer Li Xiaoning -- Li Xiaoning was dismissed from the post of secretary of the party committee and acting mayor of Jinsha Town, and transferred to the post of secretary of the Dongping County Party Committee of the Communist Youth League.
Hou Weijun obviously brought Liu Qifeng's instructions, and patted Li Xiaoning's shoulder when he left: "Xiaoning, don't be discouraged, life always has to experience a little setback, this may not be a good thing for you, Mu Xiu will urge Lin Feng, this will be a very important spiritual wealth in your life, when Secretary Liu came, I asked me to bring you a word, let you rest assured!" ”
Li Xiaoning felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, although Liu Qifeng's words were very short, but it was the most direct promise, at the critical moment, Liu Qifeng still did not give up on himself, he quickly turned his head away, nodded and said: "Thank you Minister Hou for your teachings, I will remember, you also bring a word to Secretary Liu for me, I will not let him down!" ”
Li Xiaoning walked very low-key and did not let the team members come to see him off, but Gu Yun and several deputy mayors still rushed over to say goodbye to him, but Zou Kai and Bai Dengke did not come.
