a meeting I'll say a few words too." 。Xiao Zheng immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go to Secretary Chen." 。Then, the two went to the Municipal Government Office together. 。On the way, Chen Qingshan sai...An Ruyi asked from the back seat, "Was it the leader who called you over" Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yeah, I was going to go have tea with you, but now I probably can't." 。Secretary Lu is a leader I deeply respect, and if he wants to chat for a while longer, I'll definitely stay. 。"That's for sure," An Ruyi smiled faintly. 。Let's have tea and long live our friendship. 。When a woman is empathetic, she seems to radiate an added beauty of wisdom. 。Xiao Zheng said: "When the vernal equinox arrives, the first batch of white tea from our county's thousand-acre white tea garden will be ready. I'll invite you to have some tea then." 。“Spring Equinox It's New Year’s Day today, it's still four months away!” An Ruyi couldn't help but laugh. “Make an appointment for tea, does it have to be so long” Xiao Zheng also smiled and scratched his head, “It seems like it has been a while” 。"An Ruyi said, "You're free to come have a drink here first, and then I'll go to your thousand-acre tea plantation for a drink!" Xiao Zheng immediately reached out his hand: "Then it's a deal." 。Xiao Zheng meant to shake hands with An Ruyi, but An Ruyi looked at Xiao Zheng's hand and didn't extend her own immediately. 。Only then did Xiao Zheng realize that An Ruyi was a girl. Shaking hands with her seemed to imply wanting to hold her hand. 。Xiao Zheng instead felt a little embarrassed, just as he was about to retract his hand. 。However, An Ruyi suddenly reached out her hand and grasped his. 。An Ruyi's hands were soft and gentle, but when she held onto Xiao Zheng's hand, they were surprisingly firm, conveying a resolute spirit. 。"I haven't even said 'thank you' for all that you've done for our hotel and for me." 。Xiao Zheng felt An Ruyi's smooth and soft little hand, his body inexplicably getting excited. Hearing her say "You've done so much for our hotel, for me," Xiao Zheng thought to himself, he had indeed done a lot for Anhai Hotel, but whether he had done anything for her, An Ruyi, was hard to say. 。Instead, it was the Anhai Hotel. Because it was located in Lvshui Village, it brought changes and opportunities to Tianhuang Town and An County. 。Xiao Zheng admired An Ruyi's business acumen and also had a certain kind of impulsive attraction to her beauty. However, Xiao Zheng would never do anything inappropriate towards An Ruyi. 。Just like An Ruyi's soft little hand, it is now in his grasp. If he wishes to cherish and caress it, she would probably not refuse. 。While Xie Xiaozheng's rationality was still present, he appropriately let go of her hand. 。At the same time, An Ruyi's heart felt a slight emptiness. In fact, she hoped that Xiao Zheng would keep holding her hand like this, even taking it one step further, another step closer. She was willing, she hoped, she was happy. 。An Ruyi is a "sea turtle" who studied in North America. She was inevitably influenced by Western views on love, believing that if you like someone, you should be together. She doesn't place much importance on concepts like marriage. 。At this size, An Ruyi had never met a man who was willing to be with her. Xiao Zheng was the first. 。

But Xiao Zheng let go of her hand. 。Then An Ruyi thought again, perhaps Xiao Zheng was going to see Secretary Lu, so he wouldn't think about getting closer to her at this time. 。"Then you'll probably be too late after talking with your leader," An Ruyi said. 。"Why don't you just stay at our hotel If you go back to your parents' place, you might wake them up. They're getting older and easily woken up at night." 。It's getting late now. After the talk, it'll be past eleven at least. Going home then would definitely disturb my parents' sleep. 。But then he thought of the fact that all the rooms at the Anhai Hotel had been booked, and he chuckled, "This time, all the rooms at your Anhai Hotel have been booked long ago. Where can I sleep I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the lawn!" An Ruyi smiled slightly and said: "The guest rooms are indeed all booked out" 。But my room can. 。Xiao Zheng was taken aback. He didn't expect An Ruyi to invite him to sleep in her room! Wasn't this a clear hint

An Ruyi seemed to notice the change in Xiao Zheng's expression, and her face flushed immediately. She quickly explained: "I mean, I have my own room in the hotel, but sometimes when I work overtime, I just sleep in the office." 。My office also has rooms. 。Today's situation is special, you can use my room, I'll sleep in the office. 。"Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think!"

Xiao Zheng looked at An Ruyi's anxious and defensive appearance, just like a shy flower bud. 。Such an expression is rarely seen on this female CEO's face. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but joke with her: "I actually hope that I misunderstood." 。"An Ruyi gave him a slight glance and said, "You're overthinking things!"

Xiao Zheng was slightly regretful for saying the previous sentence, "I'd rather hope that I misunderstood," If An Ruyi had replied with "Then alright," what could he have done Luckily, she said, "You're overthinking things." 。Xiao Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Let's wait and see." 。If it gets too late, could I borrow a room from you If not too late, I'll head home. 。At this point, the car had already entered the hotel. An Ruyi directly told her bodyguard Judy: "Go to the West Building Mountain View Room" 。"Secretary Lu lives there." 。After Xiao Zheng got out of the car, An Ruyi said: "I'll have the front desk call you later and send the key over." 。"That's great, thanks." 。"An Ruyi said, "Go in quickly, Secretary Lu should be waiting for you." 。Xiao Zheng nodded and went upstairs. 。。Bodyguard Judy started the car and asked in English, "Mr. An, do you like this County Mayor Xiao" An Ruyi trusted Judy completely and they talked openly with each other. She nodded without hiding anything. 。Judy said, “But he’s only the deputy county magistrate of a small county. Is he worth your efforts” An Ruyi said, “He is not equal to his current position.” 。Then, nothing more was said. 。Judy nodded thoughtfully. 。This Xilou Mountain View House isn't very tall, only five floors. Secretary Lu is on the fifth floor in the south, with a balcony directly facing the bamboo forest. It's one of the best suites in the Mountain View Houses. 。Xiao Zheng took a comfortable elevator to the fifth floor, then came to the room number that Xiao Jingyu told him, and knocked on the door. 。From inside came the familiar voice of Xiao Jingyu: "Coming, wait a moment." 。After a moment, the door opened. Standing in the doorway was Xiao Jingyu, gazing at him silently. His eyes were like deep pools, his face like sculpted jade. 。She was dressed a little formally, a little conservatively today, but her beauty shone through regardless. 。Xiao Zheng's desire surged up from within him, like a wildfire sweeping across the barren wasteland of his heart. 。Xiao Zheng desperately wanted to merge with Xiao Jingyu at this moment, enjoying the bliss of both body and spirit. 。Secretary Lu's voice came from the house, "County Mayor Xiao is here" Xiao Zheng's passion cooled down as quickly as a fire deprived of oxygen. In front of the leader, his desire for Xiao Jingyu was hidden away. 。He immediately replied, “Yes, Secretary Lu, I'm here.” 。Xiao Jingyu saw all the changes in Xiao Zheng's expression when he looked at her just now. She felt that the ardent look in Xiao Zheng's eyes seemed to ignite the affection she had for him deep in her heart. 。But now she can only hide all her warmth. 。Xiao Jingyu's eyes were as clear as water: "Come in quickly, Secretary Lu has been waiting for a while." 。Then Xiao Zheng followed Xiao Jingyu into the room. It was a comfortable and moderately sized living room. Lu Zhixing stood up from the sofa, took a step forward and extended his hand to Xiao Zheng, saying: "Comrade Xiao Zheng, it's been days since we last met." 。"Actually, there aren't that many days" 。Lately, after returning from Ningxia Gan, Secretary Lu presided over a briefing meeting, and Xiao Zheng also attended. 。Xiao Zheng shook hands with Secretary Lu and said, “Indeed, Secretary Lu, we are all very happy that you could come to An County this time.” 。"Xiao Zheng's words weren't overly exaggerated flattery. Lu, the secretary, instead found Xiao Zheng to be sincere. He said, "Come, let's go to the balcony." 。This is New Year's Day, right in the middle of winter. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but worry: "Wouldn't it be too cold on the balcony" Secretary Lu, however, said with interest: "Come and see, Secretary Xiao and I were just preparing. It won't be cold at all." 。Have a look. 。Xiao Zheng was truly curious, what did they have prepared on the balcony

Xiao Zheng followed Secretary Lu to the spacious balcony outside the meeting room. 。There was a small tea table, three small wicker chairs with backrests and cushions that looked soft and inviting. 。A tea set was still on the coffee table, and tea was being brewed. 。Under the coffee table, there's actually a fireplace, and next to it is a heater that looks like an electric fan. 。Although a slight chill lingered on the balcony, as soon as you approached this tea table, a warm current dissipated it. 。

From the balcony, a crescent moon had already climbed over the zenith, casting silver-gray light onto the bamboo forest below, like a thick layer of hoarfrost had fallen! It was a place to warm oneself, drink tea, and admire the bamboo forest bathed in moonlight. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "This is too comfortable." 。"Secretary Lu smiled and said, "I'm usually too busy. Since I have some free time today, I might as well make the most of it!" Xiao Zheng said, "Secretary Lu is right." 。Secretary Lu said, "Comrade Xiao Zheng, please sit down." 。"Xiao Zheng said: 'Secretary Lu, please sit down. Secretary Xiao, you should sit down as well.'" 。"Xiao Jingyu said, "I'll pour you some tea." 。The three of them then sat down. 。Xiao Jingyu actually poured tea for Secretary Lu and Xiao Zheng, and poured a shallow half cup for himself. 。Secretary Lu said, "County Magistrate Xiao, I called you over today because I didn't invite you to dinner this evening. I feel a bit embarrassed about that and have been thinking about you." 。Xiao Zheng is a deputy county-level official and is not qualified to participate 。Xiao Zheng said: "Secretary Lu, this is arranged by the Provincial Party Committee Office. Those below the county level are not participating. I understand, it's nothing." 。Moreover, I happened to have asked the people below me off today for this opening ceremony of the Anhai Hotel. Although it's just a hotel's business, a lot of hard work went into it by those who handled things, so I treated everyone to a meal. I only came over after having some drinks today. As long as Secretary Lu doesn't blame me, that's fine. 。"As leaders, we need to always motivate our subordinates! Sometimes having a drink is also necessary, as long as it doesn't violate the principles of integrity and self-discipline." 。“Thank you, Secretary Lu, for your understanding,” said Xiao Zheng. 。"To get back to the point," 。Today, the first thing I want to tell you is that I will do everything in my power to help you become the County Magistrate of Anxian. 。no one was hurt. 。But Hong Xu also said that according to understanding, the fire-fighting equipment that failed this time was all purchased from a company called "Xi Mei Group Fire Protection Co., L...
