Chapter 449: Provincial Party Committee Leaders Want to See Me

Once Guo Wei left, only Xiao Chun'er and I were left in the private room.

A man and a woman alone in a room are most likely to develop ambiguous feelings. Xiao Chun'er smiled like a flower, frequently raising her glass to invite me to drink. I wanted to decline, but seeing Xiao Chun'er's full expectation, how could I brush off a woman's good intentions? Moreover, this woman was extraordinarily beautiful, shy and hard to hide, with deep affection, like poetry and illusion.

The wine went down my throat, but I couldn't taste even a trace of sweetness; instead, there was bitterness, like thin threads, piercing straight to the bottom of my heart.

Drinking must be done in a good mood! Drinking in a good mood, even inferior wine is like nectar. Drinking in a bad mood, even sweet spring water is like poison. Guo Wei's words stirred ripples in my heart. It seemed like luck, yet hidden with disappointment. At the same time, a strong desire slowly grew in the bottom of my heart: in the next room, who else was there?

This person didn't go through normal procedures, came to Chunshan County quietly, and even stated they wanted to find me. What kind of person had such energy? After all, I was a county magistrate, counting as half a local deity.

This move of his was exactly the same as Governor Lin coming to Chunshan; both were cadres from the province, and both were drinking with Guan Peishan. Ignoring the people in charge of Chunshan County, Liu Qimeng, County Magistrate Yu, and me, the only explanation for someone who could make this move was twofold. One was that they didn't bother to deal with us at all, and the other was that the matter they came to handle was something we had to avoid.

Xiao Chun'er saw that I was distracted, and after drinking a few cups, she also felt it was tasteless.

"You have something on your mind." She said to me, not taking her eyes off me, and poked around in her bowl with her chopsticks.

"Nothing." I smiled faintly.

"It's not about our company, is it?"

"You're overthinking."

"This matter of our company, actually, as long as you handle Township Head Deng, everything will be easy to talk about. This matter is because he is playing tricks behind the scenes." Xiao Chun'er changed chairs and sat next to me.

I looked at her in astonishment. Xiao Chun'er speaking without restraint like this surprised me quite a bit.

"Really. We have evidence, we wouldn't talk nonsense." Xiao Chun'er looked at me with a sincere face.

"What evidence?"

She refused to say, took out a bank card from her handbag, and handed it to me nonchalantly: "My boss said, doing things requires effort and money. Take this first, and when it's handled, we'll thank you again."

I asked with a smile: "How much is in here?"

Xiao Chun'er was stunned for a moment, her face seemed a bit disappointed, and after hesitating, she said: "Two hundred thousand. The boss said, when the matter is handled, you can come to the company to buy shares."

"I don't have money." I said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"We don't need you to use money to buy shares."

"Then what am I using to buy shares?"

"The same human resource shares."

"In this way, am I not the same as Old Deng? What's the difference?" I didn't take the bank card, and didn't even look at it. This move of Xiao Chun'er's must have been entrusted by the bald boss.

"It's different. He is forcing his way in to buy shares. You are invited by us to buy shares." Xiao Chun'er said with a smile.

"No matter what, the purpose is the same, isn't it? It's nothing more than taking a sum of money from your company. If I take this money, my mouth is sealed. If my mouth is sealed, state assets will be lost, isn't that so?" I still smiled that smile.

Xiao Chun'er paused, and her face began to turn pale.

These words of mine were not nonsense. I understood the performance of the bald boss and Xiao Chun'er from the moment I got into her car.

They first used sex to lure, and when that failed, they took the path of money.

If I were still just a township party secretary, perhaps I would have fallen into their trap. But now I am an Executive Deputy County Magistrate shouldering the well-being of the whole county; let alone hundreds of thousands of yuan, even if a mountain of gold and silver were piled in front of me, I might not be moved!

Because I know that as long as I take this bank card, I am a pawn in their hands.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was knocked, and before I could speak, the door was pushed open, and then I saw Lin Xiaoxi walk in gracefully.

"I heard from Xiao Guo that you were here." She smiled apologetically and looked at Xiao Chun'er.

Lin Xiaoxi was a TV anchor, and the people of the whole county could see her on TV every night, counting as a well-known celebrity. Therefore, Xiao Chun'er recognized her immediately and said pleasantly: "You're the TV anchor, right? You're really beautiful."

Lin Xiaoxi blushed and asked suspiciously: "You are...?"

Xiao Chun'er reported her name: "I am An Chun from the Cement Products Factory, here to visit County Magistrate Chen today."

Lin Xiaoxi raised the corner of her mouth and said: "You're also very beautiful. I didn't expect there to be a beauty like you in the Cement Products Factory."

The two women bragged to each other, and I was idle, scanning with my eyes, and found that An Chun—Xiao Chun'er, had already taken the bank card away without knowing when.

"Sit down and chat." An Chun enthusiastically invited Lin Xiaoxi to sit.

Lin Xiaoxi didn't take her kindness, turned to me and said: "Uncle Wu wants to see you."

"Who?" I was confused.

Lin Xiaoxi smiled shallowly: "My father's old subordinate, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Uncle Wu Quanzi."

I was taken aback. Such a leader from the Provincial Party Committee came down, but our Chunshan County knew nothing. Even in Hengyue City, I estimated that no one knew a bit of wind.

This matter is unusual!

My heart skipped a beat, and I asked: "I don't know him."

"You'll know once you meet him."

"Why does he want to see me?" I was still pushing back. To be honest, I had no bottom in my heart. Meeting such a big leader, what should I say? If I say one wrong word and leave a bad impression on the big leader, it's digging my own grave.

There is an even more important point: the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee has arrived, and I cannot meet him before the County Party Secretary. This is a very serious taboo in officialdom!

"Are you afraid?" Lin Xiaoxi looked at me with a smile.

I shook my head, but didn't nod either.

"I really didn't see it, you also have times when you're afraid." Lin Xiaoxi changed into a cynical expression and teased me: "The proud County Magistrate Chen in Chunshan County, it turns out, is just a king in a corner of the door."

An Chun on the side chimed in: "Maybe County Magistrate Chen has concerns."

Lin Xiaoxi's eyebrows jumped, and she scolded with a pretty face: "What do you know? If there's nothing, you can leave first."

An Chun was scolded by her, her face turned black immediately, and she opened her mouth but made no sound. She picked up her handbag from the chair, lowered her head, opened the door, and went out.

Once An Chun left, Lin Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and questioned me: "Tell me, what is your relationship with this woman?"

"No relationship at all." I smiled: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't be cheeky." She reached out and hit me: "Be serious!"

I stopped smiling and asked her: "What are you here for?"

"Did I disturb your good thing?" Lin Xiaoxi said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"What good thing do I have? Besides trivial matters, it's just family talk."

"That's why, a good man has ambitions in all directions. Only by standing high can one see far. As long as you stay in Chunshan County for one day, you will always be surrounded by these trivial matters. Why can't you stand on another starting line and rule the world?"

I was startled and said: "Xiaoxi, what are you talking about?"

Lin Xiaoxi said earnestly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Now there is an opportunity in front of you, as long as you are willing, from now on, you will never be bothered by trivial matters again."

"What opportunity?"

"Go to the province."

"How to go? The province is so big, and people with ability are like crucian carp crossing the river, what kind of feather am I, Chen Feng?" I mocked myself: "It's better to stay in a corner and do my small things."

"Truth?"

I nodded in acknowledgment.

Lin Xiaoxi was obviously angered by my demeanor, she raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Chen Feng, count me as blind."

Her pretty face was covered with a gloom, like the clouds before a heavy rain in the afternoon, making people feel heavy, oppressed, and even unable to breathe.

In front of the Governor's daughter, the best thing for me to do was to lower my head.

"Raise your head and look at me." She ordered me: "Whether you are willing or not, you must come with me."

She said word by word, each word seemed to jump out from between her teeth, clattering as it fell to the ground.

"Where to?"

"Come with me to see Uncle Wu now, and come to the provincial capital with me later." She seemed to be gritting her teeth, not allowing me the slightest hesitation.

"What if I don't go?" I asked tentatively.

"Better to be a broken jade than a whole tile."

"These are all tricks used by men, you're a girl, how did you learn to be so ruthless?" I teased her deliberately, wanting to ease the atmosphere.

"Whether it's men or women in the world, they all have only one pursuit, which is their own happiness." She pushed me and changed into a tenderness: "Let's go, don't let Uncle Wu and the others wait too long."

I hesitated, lingered, and couldn't move half a step.

"You don't have to worry, it's not just you alone, Uncle Guan, Deng Hanyu, Guo Wei and the others are all there." Lin Xiaoxi comforted me softly: "And me."

I looked at her, her face was flushed, and the shy posture of a daughter was fully revealed.

Just now it was a storm, thunder and lightning. Now it was deep affection, soft as water.

"Why is Secretary-General Wu looking for me?" I was still hesitating.

"You'll know when you go?"

"He didn't come specifically to find me, did he?" I had no bottom in my heart.

"You'll know when you go." She said this sentence again, making me even more hesitant.

"Official business or private business?" I was still asking, and my legs began to tremble. Can I not be afraid? Since I entered officialdom, the biggest official I have seen is Lin Xiaoxi's father, Vice Governor Lin Shengmao. Leaders like Secretary-General Wu who have no intersection with me, I don't even have the chance to touch the edge. Now the leader has named me, is it a blessing or a curse, who knows?

A cadre of my level is separated from Secretary-General Wu by thousands of mountains and rivers. I can only look at his back for a lifetime of being an official!

"Chen Feng, you are becoming more and more long-winded now. Go or not? One sentence." Lin Xiaoxi became impatient.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go."

"If you go, then go." She pulled me up from the chair, opened the door, and wanted to leave.

I broke free from her hand and said softly: "Xiaoxi, wait a moment, I'm going to the restroom."

Lin Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Lazy people have a lot of shit and urine."

I smiled: "I'm nervous. I'm going to relax, isn't it better to meet your Uncle Wu with the best face?"

Lin Xiaoxi raised her hand and hit me: "Cheeky, hurry up."

I ran into the restroom like I was fleeing for my life, took out my phone, and called Liu Qimeng. ===== CHAPTER 450 =====
