After going to work on Friday, Zhou Jing was a little nervous, flipping through the documents in his hand, but he looked at the door from time to time, lest the deputy secretary Yu Manting noticed that someone had touched the file bag, and he would poke out the basket, and if he didn't do it, he would be punished the most severely.

Through the observation in the morning, it was found that Yu Manting did not behave abnormally, and he was much more relaxed, and a big stone pressed on his chest finally fell to the ground, but fortunately, Zhou Jing still secretly reminded himself that he should be as cautious as possible in the future and take less such risks, after all, not every time he walks a tightrope, he can successfully cross the cliff.

What's more, Zeng Qinming's career prospects are unknown, and it doesn't seem to be worth taking too much risk for him, so when it was time to get off work at noon, Yu Manting came out of the office with his bag, explained a few things, and hurriedly went downstairs, got into the car, and drove away.

Zhou Jing went to the canteen, had lunch, returned to the office, was busy for a while, got the things assigned by Secretary Yu done, and went to the back room to tidy up the desktop, he cleaned out the teacups and ashtrays and put them back together, but unexpectedly found that on Yu Manting's desk, there was an open black notebook, on which was written a line of fly-headed letters, which was very eye-catching: "I want to be like a lonely crane in the middle of the night, alone." ”

chewing repeatedly, thinking it was very interesting, Zhou Jing couldn't help but smile slightly, retreated, returned to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out the notes left by Wang Yannian from it, and studied it carefully, this work diary is also Wang Yannian's political experience, and there are some words in it that cannot be passed on, otherwise, it will definitely cause an uproar.

For example, as written in the middle of a certain page: "In officialdom, you can tell lies, empty words, clichés, but you just can't tell the truth, many times, whoever tells the truth, who will fall, in a sense, officialdom is a very special performance stage, everyone involved in it, is an actor, although the roles are different, but they are all in accordance with the main theme, read lines, and make benefits, over time, it has become part of the rules of the game, who refuses to tell lies, who is a real fool, can not stand at all!" ”

Although it is a bit extreme, Zhou Jing feels that this is a big truth, and similar complaints can be seen everywhere in this diary, which makes him a little suspicious that this is Wang Yannian's handwriting, but after reading it a few times, Zhou Jing gradually felt relieved, and he also somewhat understood, the more people who hide themselves deeply, the more unknown they are.

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Zou Fangheng came, pushed the door in, walked straight to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette, and inhaled it, his expression was very ugly, his spirit was also a little sluggish, and he looked listless, as if he had just had a serious illness.

Zhou Jing handed over the tea, sat next to him, and asked with a smile, "Why, I didn't talk to Secretary Li well last night?" ”

Zou Fangheng nodded, dusted off his cigarette ashes, and sighed: "It's not ideal, but I was also scolded, this is really a companion like a tiger, I told Secretary Li directly last night, I want to go back to school to teach, but he didn't approve it, let me think about it again." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and also took out a cigarette on the spot, shook out the light blue flame, dropped the lighter, took a deep breath, spit out a faint smoke in his mouth, glanced at Zou Fangheng, and said with a smile: "Section Chief Zou, you can't be rash, Secretary Li can criticize you, and he doesn't approve your resignation, which means that he still values you, otherwise, he can nod his head and agree, and he is happy to have a clean ear." ”

Zou Fangheng was silent for a long time before nodding and smiling: "Zhou Ke, what you said is also reasonable, but I can see that Secretary Li was poisoned by Liang Baocheng, and he is obedient to him, if this continues, there will be big trouble sooner or later." ”

Zhou Jing frowned, took a puff of cigarette, dusted off the ashes, and said puzzledly: "I haven't figured out the situation of the office for a while, I always feel that whether it's the secretary general or Liang Baocheng, in fact, they are all Secretary Li's people, and the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, so if he doesn't level this bowl of water, how can he completely stand on Liang Baocheng's side and point the finger at the secretary general?" ”

Zou Fangheng sighed, waved his hand and said, "This is also what I can't figure out, maybe, there are some other things, we don't know." ”

Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, and asked tentatively: "Zou Ke, you said that you want to go back to teaching, but you are just angry for a while, or have you already made up your mind?" ”

"It's up to you!" Zou Fangheng patted his thigh, turned his gaze to the door, frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said in a low tone: "Although there was a quarrel last night, it can be regarded as a heart-to-heart, Secretary Li also said, my character is a nerd, and I can't do big things!" ”

"Maybe it's just a bit of an angry talk, don't care!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Zou Ke, don't be too angry, in fact, many times, the leaders have a comprehensive consideration, we may only see the leaves, not the forest." ”

"Maybe!" Zou Fangheng smiled bitterly, extinguished the cigarette, raised his hand and pointed to the inner room, and said softly: "Secretary Zhou, Secretary Manting is not there?" ”

Zhou Jingjing nodded and said with a smile: "I answered the phone at noon and went out, it should be social!" ”

Zou Fangheng hummed, a little disappointed, drank a few sips of tea, got up to say goodbye, Zhou Jing sent him to the door, happened to catch a glimpse of Liang Baocheng passing by, Liang Baocheng also found the two, his cold gaze swept over the two, he snorted, and left with a victor's detachment.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhou Jing closed the door, touched the mobile phone, and called the little beauty Li Siyan, the two chatted casually, passing the time, until before getting off work, the red landline on the desk rang, he hurriedly hung up the phone, touched the microphone, put it to his ear, frowned, and said, "Hey, hello." ”

"Xiaojing, it's me, Zeng Qinming!" There was a hearty laugh in his ears, and then, Zeng Qinming said very enthusiastically: "Secretary Zhou, if there are no other arrangements at night, I will go over to pick you up, and let's go out and relax." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Mayor Zeng, forget it, now that you're on the cusp, don't poke out the basket again." ”

Zeng Qinming smiled, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I know how to measure, after getting off work, you will go to the diagonal street behind the municipal party committee compound, there is a flower shop, wait for me at the door of the flower shop!" ”

"Well, it's so mysterious, it's like a spy joint!" Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, and hung up the phone a little helplessly, he didn't want to have too much contact with Zeng Qinming, so it was easy to spread the rumors, so that Yu Manting and Wei Heping knew that they would definitely suspect themselves, of course, since people warmly invited, it was not good not to go, and they would leave the impression of holding their own identity and looking down on people.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Jing packed up his things, locked the office door, walked downstairs, pushed his bicycle out of the yard, turned to the diagonal street behind the compound of the municipal party committee, just came to the door of the flower shop, he heard a few dripping car horns, followed the reputation, but saw a black Passat driving over, stopped on the side of the road, the window was pressed, Zeng Qinming took off his sunglasses, beckoned and shouted: "Xiaojing, get in the car!" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, parked the bicycle, walked around, opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and said with a smile: "Mayor Zeng, where are you going?" ”

"Take you to a fun place!" Zeng Qinming put on sunglasses, slowly played the steering wheel, bypassed the intersection, went to the southeast, passed the gas station, and then went forward for more than ten miles, got on the west highway, and went all the way to the south.

Half an hour later, the car got off the highway, drove out of a distance, and stopped at the gate of a resort, the uniformed security guard looked at the license plate and hurriedly let it go, Zeng Qinming drove the car all the way to the west of the yard, and after stopping steadily, he and Zhou Jing pushed the car door down.

At this time, two middle-aged men greeted him, the person in front was not tall, his face was ruddy, and he also held a leader's style, and the person in the back was thin and tall, with thick myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he looked like an intellectual.

"Hello Mayor Zeng!" When the two came to Zeng Qinming, they stopped in unison, and they both greeted each other with a flattering face.

"Lao Chen of the Education Bureau, Lao Xu of Qingyang No. 3 Middle School." Zeng Qinming stopped, smiled, introduced the two to Zhou Jing, and then nodded at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "This is my friend, who works in the municipal party committee." ”

When the two of them heard this, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and greeted Zhou Jing enthusiastically, they naturally knew that Zhou Jing was so young, but he was introduced as a friend by Zeng Qinming, which must have a great background, but since Zeng Qinming said it vaguely, it was inconvenient for them to ask.

Standing on the side of the car, after a few pleasantries, the four of them talked and laughed, walked forward slowly, bypassed the fountain, came to the restaurant on the west side of the resort, accompanied by the waiter, went up to the third floor, pushed open the door of the private room, but saw several beautiful women standing up inside, these people looked very smart, and their temperament was also excellent, very much like a young female teacher.

Zhou Jing's eyes were sharp, and he found Zheng Xiuzhen in the crowd at a glance, she was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, a black one-step skirt on her lower body, the skirt covered to the knee, and on her slender and well-proportioned beautiful legs, she was wrapped in white transparent stockings, and her small feet were wearing red high heels, which looked gentle and pretty, full of the charming charm of the beautiful woman next door.

Zheng Xiuzhen has obviously been carefully retouched, the beautiful and dignified pretty face, painted with light makeup, eyebrows are hooked to slender, and light blue eyeshadow is also painted, and the charming lips are also painted with crimson lipstick, rich and translucent, extremely sexy, those peach blossom eyes, watery, flooded with a different kind of spring. love, and on the white and tender jaw, the beauty mole attracts people's eyes even more.

After Zeng Qinming entered the house, he just saw Zheng Xiuzhen, he was stunned, and he only felt that the woman in front of him was extremely outstanding among several beautiful women.

"Mayor Zeng, these are all teachers in our third middle school." Principal Xu of the third middle school came over, smiled, and introduced Zeng Qinming, and several beautiful female teachers came over, shook hands with Zeng Qinming, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello Mayor Zeng." ”

When it was Zheng Xiuzhen's turn, Zeng Qinming shook her little hand, secretly pinched it, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, it's nice to meet you." ”

"Me too, Mayor Zeng!" Zheng Xiuzhen pursed her lips and smiled, turned her eyes to Zhou Jing, and chuckled: "Xiaojing, are you here too?" ”

Including Zeng Qinming, the people around were stunned for a moment, Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I am accompanying Mayor Zeng to come over, sister-in-law Xiuzhen, why did you come here too?" ”

Zheng Xiuzhen's beautiful eyes flowed, glanced at Principal Xu, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "It was Principal Xu who said hello and asked us to come over to accompany the leaders." ”

Zhou Jing snorted, and glanced at Principal Xu, with a slightly dissatisfied expression on his face.

Zeng Qinming turned sideways and asked curiously, "What, it's an acquaintance?" ”

Zhou Jingjing nodded, and said casually: "It's a friend's wife, and his husband is the head of Qin Township and works in Hetu Township." ”

"Ah, no wonder, Township Chief Qin is very blessed to have such a beautiful wife!" Zeng Qinming was a little disappointed, knowing that Zhou Jing was present, plus the identity of this woman's lover, he couldn't get started, otherwise, there would be trouble, and he was disappointed, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's sit, let's sit, all sit, several teachers are heroines in the women's middle school on the education front, and they are also party members and activists, model workers, everyone is usually very busy with work, and when you come here today, you have to relax, eat well, drink well, play well, don't be restrained!" ”
