Chapter 2293

He only now realized that the shoe never falling was actually the greatest punishment for him!

Just as Tian Xiaopeng was lost in thought, his office door was knocked. He returned behind his desk, steadied himself, and called out, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and in came the Director of the County Government Office, Hong Yuling. Hong Yuling was a young cadre Tian Xiaopeng had promoted after coming to Huangqiu County. She was in her early thirties, very beautiful, and one of the few undergraduate graduates in Huangqiu County.

After Tian Xiaopeng came to Huangqiu County, he faced the same problem as Su Xinghui: the local forces were too strong, and he had no one to use on hand, so he also vigorously promoted young cadres. Hong Yuling was promoted against this background.

Seeing Hong Yuling come in, Tian Xiaopeng smiled and said, "Comrade Yuling is here. Sit."

Hong Yuling had dressed carefully today. Her beautiful hair was draped smoothly behind her head. Although it was winter, she was wearing a pink professional suit, with a short skirt and flesh-colored silk stockings on her lower body. Of course, she was also wearing flesh-colored tights underneath, so she wouldn't be cold, but this outfit still showed off her curvaceous figure.

Her face was lightly powdered, and her delicate features and tender skin showed that she was in the golden age of her life, possessing both the appearance of a young girl and the charm of a young woman—it couldn't be more alluring.

After Hong Yuling sat down, Tian Xiaopeng poured her a cup of tea. Hong Yuling smiled and said, "Congratulations, Secretary Tian!"

The news that Tian Xiaopeng was about to be promoted to County Party Secretary was no longer a secret in the Huangqiu County officialdom. As a trusted confidante, Hong Yuling naturally knew it immediately and was the first to come and congratulate Tian Xiaopeng.

Tian Xiaopeng said, "Thank you, Comrade Yuling! But the official appointment hasn't come down yet, so don't call me that for now."

Hong Yuling smiled charmingly and said, "Secretary Tian, isn't that just a matter of time? But don't worry, before the official appointment comes down, I won't call you that in front of others."

Tian Xiaopeng nodded and said, "Good, you must remember that, otherwise it will give others something to talk about."

Hong Yuling said, "Secretary Tian, actually, with your ability, character, and achievements, this County Party Secretary position should have been yours long ago. It's really too late for it to be appointed now."

Tian Xiaopeng smiled reservedly. Hong Yuling looked at his smile, her heart fluttering. In her eyes, Tian Xiaopeng was simply too charming.

Tian Xiaopeng had graduated from a prestigious university, had an outstanding resume, and had become a County Magistrate in his thirties. He had simply too many halos on him.

And Hong Yuling had been personally promoted by Tian Xiaopeng. She had a lot of contact with him and was increasingly attracted to him.

Tian Xiaopeng not only had so many halos, but he also had a scholarly and elegant personality, a handsome appearance, a steady and grand way of doing things, and outstanding ability. In just two years, he had completely changed Huangqiu County. In short, Tian Xiaopeng was full of the charm of a mature man.

Hong Yuling did not consider herself a frivolous woman, but she was involuntarily attracted to Tian Xiaopeng, deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.

Hong Yuling's husband was an ordinary cadre in the Personnel Bureau who loved her very much. Everything about him was good, and he was very good to her. Even when she went home every day, her husband cooked, and he was extremely gentle to her at night. However, it was precisely because of this that she felt her husband lacked ambition and drive, and she slowly began to grow tired of him.

Actually, she hadn't thought about the fact that before Tian Xiaopeng came to Huangqiu County, didn't she also think her husband was very good? But why did she find him unpleasant after Tian Xiaopeng arrived?

After Tian Xiaopeng promoted her to Director of the County Government Office, she paid more attention to dressing up than before. She was already beautiful, and with this dressing up, she was charming every day. She told her husband it was because she was the Director of the County Government Office and needed to pay attention to her image, but only she knew the real reason.

She even hid this real reason deep in her heart, not daring to think about it. Occasionally, when she did think of it, she would blush with shame.

She not only paid attention to dressing up, but also occasionally showed some girlish mannerisms in front of Tian Xiaopeng, which were extremely moving. However, to her disappointment, Tian Xiaopeng always only talked about work in front of her and nothing else.

Sometimes, she would deliberately reveal flaws and say ambiguous things, but Tian Xiaopeng would immediately change the subject and not talk to her about these things.

This instead made Hong Yuling respect Tian Xiaopeng's character even more. She felt that Tian Xiaopeng was a true gentleman, a Liuxia Hui who could sit with a woman without being tempted. She also made up her mind that she must get what she wanted, because this was true love.

How could she know that Tian Xiaopeng's true face was not like this at all?

Tian Xiaopeng was not a man who didn't understand romance. He naturally saw what Hong Yuling meant, and his heart was itching unbearably, but no matter how unbearable it was, he had to endure it, because he was impotent.

This was a reason that made his heart bleed. For these past few years, he had told no one this secret; he could only bear it silently, because this secret was truly unspeakable!

Over these two years, his wife had never come to Huangqiu County to see him once, and he rarely returned to the capital. Many people could see that his marriage had problems, or at least that the couple's relationship was not good, so there were not a few people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he had flatly refused them all.

Unexpectedly, this had even earned him a good reputation for self-discipline. No one could have thought of the real reason.

Looking at the smiling, incomparably beautiful Hong Yuling in front of him, Tian Xiaopeng smiled and said, "I am very satisfied now. By the way, Yuling, do you have any thoughts about your position?"

Hong Yuling's heart skipped a beat. Did Tian Xiaopeng mean he wanted her to continue being his "housekeeper"? If so, her position would become Director of the County Party Committee Office. Although both were directors, the "gold content" was vastly different. The Director of the County Party Committee Office was also a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.

Hong Yuling smiled and said, "What thoughts could I have? I listen to all your arrangements, Secretary Tian, as long as I don't leave your side."

Even a deaf person could hear the affection in Hong Yuling's words. Tian Xiaopeng's heart also fluttered, but he knew that this was something he absolutely could not respond to. Otherwise, when the two were in the heat of passion and Hong Yuling discovered his hidden illness, wouldn't that be extremely embarrassing?

Tian Xiaopeng smiled reservedly and nodded: "Alright, having your word is enough. Comrade Yuling, prepare yourself mentally to take on a heavy burden."

Hong Yuling was overjoyed. The meaning of Tian Xiaopeng's words was naturally very clear. Her happiness was not just about being able to advance, but more about being able to continue staying by Tian Xiaopeng's side.

Hong Yuling said, "Then thank you, Secretary Tian!" ===== CHAPTER 2295 =====
