Xiao Ke listened and said with a smile: "It turns out that you also understand this truth." ”

"It's pretty straightforward." Lin Yifan said.

"But I thought you didn't understand!" Xiao Ke said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yifan didn't understand what Xiao Ke meant.

"Nothing." Xiao Ke drank half a glass of wine alone, spit out and said, "Forget it, I heard that you have become the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Red Star Group, do a good job, lay a solid foundation, and then Secretary Zhou should be helpful to you after he passes." ”

"At that time, he was a dignified deputy mayor, but I was still a pawn who had to go down to the workshop from time to time, what could he help me?" Lin Yifan smiled bitterly.

Xiao Ke looked up at Lin Yifan, caught his eyes, and said seriously: "It's very simple, to put it bluntly, it's an exchange of interests, I gave him what he wanted, and he must give me what I want, so that it is in line with the principle of fairness." ”

Lin Yifan was a little surprised that Xiao Ke would say such utilitarian words, this is not like her chic character, is everything an illusory illusion. Thinking of her previous semantics, Lin Yifan thought, could it be that she was hinting at something.

Lin Yifan couldn't help but look directly at Xiao Ke, who was also staring at him, with a smile on his face.

It seems that I have to get to know this woman again, the past thoughts are too naïve, where will there be a free lunch in this world, Xiao Ke is right, if you want to get it, you have to pay, this truth was originally correct.

Lin Yifan couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and was defeated from the battle with Xiao Ke's eyes.

The red wine in the glass is very red and mellow. There was a slight smile embedded in the corner of Xiao Ke's mouth. It's as intoxicating as that wine.

"What are you thinking? Let's toast! Xiao Ke broke the somewhat eerie silence.

Lin Yifan reluctantly picked up the goblet and touched it with her, and then took a sip, still maintaining elegance, but under the elegant disguise was a heart that was struggling and rolling.

"I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to thank you for helping me so selflessly." Lin Yifan secretly sorted out his emotions and regained his composure.

"Look at what you said, you don't have any ideas. I really just want to help you, and I don't want you anything in return. Xiao Ke shook Lin Yifan's somewhat cool hand on the table, and said very sincerely.

Oh my God, what kind of woman are you, Lin Yifan sighed secretly, pretending to be confused and laughing: "I don't have any ideas, because I can't think of anything I can repay you, it seems that the only thing that can be worth some money is my stinky skin, you either?" I can give it away for free if you want it. ”

"It's not serious." Xiao Kepu laughed and said angrily.

The atmosphere has finally returned to normal.

"Xiao Ke. I have a problem, in fact, you don't need to be so troublesome if you want to help me. Yang Xiao can do it, why do you want to use Secretary Zhou around a bend. Lin Yifan asked.

"You don't understand this officialdom politics, there is a saying that everything is in the words, only if you do it without revealing traces, then it is just right, so many things do not need to be directly naked, usually if you take the initiative to do something for him that he wants to do but can't do, he will definitely remember it, and when the time comes, he will definitely return the favor." Xiao Ke patiently explained the way of officialdom to him.

"Hehe, I found that if you don't become an official, you're really burying talents." Lin Yifan said with a smile.

Xiao Ke was a little embarrassed, covered his mouth and smiled: "Hehe, don't laugh at me, you also know the Tao, I live in such a circle, I don't need to learn, I can watch it." ”

"But Yang Xiao is not like you!" Lin Yifan said.

"He's too Zhang Yang, I don't like it." Xiao Ke really doesn't like his cousin very well, "So I try not to arrange your affairs directly from him, so as not to fall into the mouth, which is not good." ”

Lin Yifan secretly said yes, maybe it is this low-key and superb political skills that make Xiaoke's family stand tall in the political arena of Huizhou and Linjiang, but Yang Xiao is indeed an outlier, and if something bad happens in the future, it is estimated that it will be bad for him.

Lin Yifan retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "In this way, you were deliberately ...... in front of Secretary Zhou just now Did you show him the show? ”

"What do you mean by deliberately making a show? I meant it, but I just gave him a hint in passing. Xiao Ke pretended to be angry.

"I've learned it, you woman, you're really amazing, who can cure you in the future?" Lin Yifan was half joking, half out of feeling.

"Is that how you see me?" Xiao Ke was a little displeased, and pinched the back of his hand and said, "I've never been interested in politics, and this time it's not for you that I used the influence of my family to make a little tricks, but you still dare to laugh at me." ”

"Don't dare, it's too late to be grateful, how dare you laugh at you, it's just a joke!" Lin Yifan stroked the back of his aching hand and begged for mercy, but said in his heart, this is just a small plan, if you set up a big picture, who can still be the opponent.

"Are you really grateful, but I can't see it." Xiao Ke pretended to be serious.

"Hehe, yes, yes." Lin Yifan said halu.

Although these two people know each other tacitly, they can talk for two hours without a match.

The red wax on the table is getting shorter, but the temperature in the fireplace is getting hotter and hotter.

Lin Yifan loosened the collar of his shirt, snapped his fingers, and called WINTER.

Xiao Ke looked at him and smiled at his somewhat funny appearance, but he didn't stop him and let Lin Yifan settle the account.

Although the cold wind outside was blowing very coolly, Lin Yifan still couldn't help but shiver.

"Be careful, it's the easiest way to catch a cold." Xiao Ke turned to Lin Yifan's face and seriously buttoned the collar for him, like a little wife.

Lin Yifan was a little moved, gently held Xiao Ke's hand, and said emotionally: "Xiao Ke, you are really good, but I'm sorry, I ......"

"Shh Xiao Ke withdrew his hand, covered Lin Yifan's mouth and said, "Don't say it, I understand." ”

"All I can say is that I'm going to take your feelings very seriously, and I'm going to think about it very seriously, okay with me?" Lin Yifan took Xiao Ke's small hand.

"Of course, I'll give you time, but it seems like I've already said that to you a few times. To be honest, I'm really conflicted, because I know you have a girlfriend. I've been thinking about a question, I'm wondering, should I really snatch you? If I rob you one day, I don't know if I'll still value you as much as I do today, because I can't convince me that I'm right, because I'll doubt your reason for coming to me. Xiao Ke's eyes flickered in the dark, and she also seemed to be a little emotional, the first time she said so much in front of Lin Yifan, and said so frankly.

"I understand. I can guarantee that if I do come to you one day, it must be because I am really in love with you. At that time, I had no inferiority complex in front of you, nor was I proud, and all the rumors and whispers were not important, because I only had you in my eyes. Lin Yifan held Xiao Ke's shoulders and solemnly promised, it seemed that all the disagreements and suspicions about Xiao Ke in the restaurant just now had been thrown to Java Island.

Xiao Ke closed her eyes slightly and muttered, "I believe that you must be the most sincere and lovely at that time." ”

Lin Yifan gently took Xiao Ke into his arms and whispered in her ear: "I'm also looking forward to it, really, to tell you the truth, I also imagined that moment." ”

"Hey, it's a pity that it's just if, but it's a pity that you haven't fallen in love with me yet." Xiao He sighed lightly, opened his eyes, and gently pushed Lin Yifan away.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Lin Yifan also came to his senses, and quickly pushed Xiao Ke away, but after pushing away, he realized that something was wrong, so he wanted to pull her back again.

"Forget it, don't force it." Xiao Ke smiled bitterly/.

Lin Yifan smiled awkwardly, at a loss.

"Let's go, how are you going to stay tonight? If you don't stay with me, you can do it. Xiao Ke was kind enough to diverge from the way.

"What?" Lin Yifan was a little stunned.

"Look at your little family, don't worry, I won't eat you, I live in a big place with a guest room." Xiao Ke said helplessly.

"No, not because of this." Lin Yifan wanted to find a suitable reason to refuse, to be honest, if he was completely unmoved by Xiao Ke, it would be absolutely a lie, if the two really lived together tonight, with the ambiguous atmosphere just now, it would be a big strange thing if something didn't happen.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ke asked.

"That's right, I have a friend who is in the hospital here, and I'm going to see her, so I'm ......" (To be continued......)
