Chapter 2789

In the days that followed, Xin Jing would smile whenever she saw Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui would, of course, smile back at her. There seemed to be a bit more tacit understanding between the two.

As for Liu Xin, she hadn't come to the municipal government to report her work to Su Xinghui these past few days. Once, when she came to the municipal government for a meeting, she sat upright and stern, not saying a word, and didn't even really look at Su Xinghui. This made Su Xinghui feel much more at ease; it seemed that the action that night was just her losing her composure after drinking too much alcohol.

Su Xinghui didn't want to have any relationship beyond friendship with any woman here. He didn't want to betray his wife, Lu Xiaoya. If he were to betray even Lu Xiaoya, then he would truly be worse than a beast.

Su Xinghui warned himself that he must hold his ground in the future and minimize opportunities to be alone with female comrades.

However, sometimes, when people below want to send beauties to him, he really can't guard against it.

On this day, Ling Shanshan came to Su Xinghui's office to report her work to him.

Before Ling Shanshan came, she hadn't made an appointment with Su Xinghui and had come directly to his door. At that time, Su Xinghui was talking with Chen Binghua, the Director of the Health Bureau. Xia Song said Su Xinghui didn't have time, so Ling Shanshan said she would wait in Xia Song's office. She sat on a chair in Xia Song's office, looking around with a charming gaze.

There were several other people in Xia Song's office waiting to see Su Xinghui, but Ling Shanshan acted as if she didn't see them. She sat there with her back straight, chest out, and would occasionally tease Xia Song, asking if he had a partner and saying she wanted to help him introduce a beauty from the TV station as a partner.

Xia Song was no match for Ling Shanshan. Within a few sentences, he was teased until his face was red. He could only take the opportunity of pouring tea for Chen Binghua to whisper in Su Xinghui's ear about Ling Shanshan's request to see him. He said Ling Shanshan seemed determined today and wouldn't leave without seeing Su Xinghui.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Xinghui decided to see Ling Shanshan. Ling Shanshan was a famous person in Baozhou City and a great beauty; waiting in Xia Song's office wasn't a good thing, and who knew what people would think if they saw her. It was better to see her early and send her back early.

Besides, Xia Song was probably teased quite badly by her; didn't one see that Xia Song's complexion was a bit unnatural? Xia Song was generally very steady, but he was still a bit green when dealing with women, especially mature beauties like Ling Shanshan.

Su Xinghui then said to Xia Song, "Alright, let her in after Director Chen is done talking."

Xia Song nodded and went out.

Chen Binghua was also a sensible person. He guessed that Su Xinghui had a guest to see, so it wasn't good to delay Su Xinghui's time too much. He reported a few more things to Su Xinghui and then stood up to say goodbye, "Mayor Su, then you go ahead and get busy, I'll leave first."

Su Xinghui said, "Old Chen, you must step up the construction work of the township health centers. This is the focus of our recent work."

Chen Binghua nodded repeatedly and then left Su Xinghui's office, carefully closing the door. He went specifically to Xia Song's office to greet him and, by the way, see who was next to see Mayor Su. He saw Xia Song stand up and take Ling Shanshan out of the door toward Su Xinghui's office, and then he suddenly understood.

The other people waiting for Su Xinghui's summons in Xia Song's office were also not anxious or annoyed, sitting upright like old monks in meditation. If they didn't even have this bit of patience, how could they be cadres?

Xia Song took Ling Shanshan into Su Xinghui's office, brewed her a cup of tea, and then went out and closed the door. It was too cold today to leave the door open.

Ling Shanshan was wearing a bright red down jacket today, with a fur collar. One look and one could tell it was very high-end and expensive, making her look like a ball of enthusiastic fire.

Her large wavy hair was magnificently draped over her shoulders, paired with a tall, slim figure that even the down jacket couldn't hide, and exquisite makeup, making Su Xinghui couldn't help but praise her in his heart; she was indeed a femme fatale.

However, on the surface, Su Xinghui said coldly and indifferently, "Comrade Ling Shanshan, what is it that you are looking for me for?"

Ling Shanshan laughed softly and said, "Our Director Wen wants to invite you, Mayor Su, to inspect our bureau's work again. Our bureau has already made serious rectifications regarding the problems you pointed out last time, and we want to let you see the results of the rectifications to see if they meet your requirements."

Last time Su Xinghui went to the Radio and Television Bureau, he did point out some problems and asked them to rectify them, but Su Xinghui asked with a dark face, "Invite me to inspect the work? Then why didn't your Director Wen come?"

Su Xinghui's seriousness made Ling Shanshan pause. Their Director Wen sent her to invite Su Xinghui, of course, to cater to the leader's preferences. Like such a great beauty, which male leader wouldn't welcome her?

But how could Ling Shanshan have thought that Su Xinghui would be so serious when facing her, and even ask why their director didn't come himself?

However, Ling Shanshan was used to seeing the world. She immediately laughed charmingly and said, "Mayor Su, our director originally wanted to come himself. Who wouldn't want to report work to the leader? I asked for this errand myself because I wanted to take the opportunity to ask you, Mayor Su, if you have time for an exclusive interview."

How could Su Xinghui not know Wen Juncheng's intentions? He sent Ling Shanshan to please him. In his view, like a beauty like Ling Shanshan, which man wouldn't like her? If possible, he probably wished he could send Ling Shanshan directly to his bed.

But Su Xinghui really didn't need it, and he also despised Wen Juncheng's approach. But Ling Shanshan was a woman after all, and she hadn't done anything out of line now, just coming to invite him to inspect the Radio and Television Bureau. He really couldn't bring himself to get angry at Ling Shanshan; that would seem like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Of course, in Su Xinghui's heart, he had already sentenced Wen Juncheng's political career to death. In his hands, Wen Juncheng wouldn't be able to get anything good. People who use women to please leaders, what kind of good people can they be?

Su Xinghui's face was still cold and indifferent as he said, "I know, Comrade Ling Shanshan. If I have time, I will go. You should go back first and put more heart into your work. It doesn't matter if you give me an exclusive interview or not."

Ling Shanshan was still a bit unwilling to give up, "Mayor Su, please give me some face."

Su Xinghui shook his head, "No need, I'm sorry, my time is very tight, and there are many comrades who have already made appointments to meet me, so I won't keep you."

Ling Shanshan stood up, feeling a bit unhappy. She didn't expect that a young and handsome man like Su Xinghui, who was also a young and successful leading cadre, would show absolutely no interest in her. This wasn't scientific, right? Which leader did she meet, and which leader wasn't kind and talkative to her? And would occasionally pat her shoulder and shake her hand affectionately.

Like last time when Mayor Wei Ziming went to the TV station to inspect, he shook her hand for several minutes and rubbed her hand with both hands. How affectionate?

For people like Wei Ziming, Ling Shanshan had seen many. She could see the greed in these people's eyes, which was also a common expression of many leading cadres. However, Su Xinghui was too different from these people.

The expression in Su Xinghui's eyes was clear, upright, and not evil. Was he really a gentleman? Ling Shanshan was a bit suspicious. If he was really a gentleman, she would admire such a person, but if he had absolutely no interest in her, then was her attractiveness not that great? This made her feel a bit lost again.

Regardless, Su Xinghui had already issued an order to evict the guest, so Ling Shanshan couldn't force herself to stay here anymore. She stood up, said "Mayor Su, then you go ahead and get busy," and left Su Xinghui's office.

Looking at Ling Shanshan's back, Su Xinghui shook his head. As his position got higher and higher and his future became clearer, his attractiveness to women also became greater and greater. After coming to Baozhou, more and more women approached him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him increase his vigilance even more.

Now letting Lu Xiaoya transfer to Baozhou is not very realistic for the time being. He has many problems to consider, such as family, such as children. The conditions in Baozhou are far from comparable to those in Beijing, so he can only stay in Baozhou alone for now.

Now it is snowing heavily in Baozhou, and Lu Xiaoya cannot drive to Baozhou to see him during this period, which is too dangerous. Therefore, Su Xinghui plans to return to Beijing more often on weekends, not only to deepen the husband-and-wife relationship with Lu Xiaoya but also to reduce the possibility of being tempted.

To be honest, although Su Xinghui is already very confident in himself, he also knows that he is a strong and healthy young man. Facing such beauty temptation every day, it is impossible to have no reaction at all. Sometimes, normal physiological reactions are unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Su Xinghui picked up the phone and called Lu Xiaoya. He told Lu Xiaoya that he would go home to see her and the children this weekend, and Lu Xiaoya said happily that she knew.

Listening to the excitement in Lu Xiaoya's tone, Su Xinghui smiled, and his heart was full of warmth.

The next day was Friday. That afternoon, Su Xinghui told Wei Ziming that he was going back to Beijing. Wei Ziming nodded and agreed with a smile. He said that Su Xinghui hadn't taken a weekend off for a long time, so he had worked hard. He let Su Xinghui rest at home for a few more days and didn't need to rush back.
