Shang Yan was transferred from Hanzhou to Qiongjin and temporarily lived in the hotel where Fang Zhicheng had lived for a while. Zhang Xiaoliang did the same, so the two became neighbors. Zhang Xiaoliang used to go in and out of Fang Zhicheng's office frequently, so he had a good relationship with Shang Yan. After get off work in the evening, the two would occasionally go together and have a meal at a roadside restaurant.
Shang Yan has been in a bad mood recently. A little girl often goes to the restaurant to drink, and she has a good alcohol tolerance. She drinks four or five small bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and she just talks a little more.
Seeing Shang Yan about to ask the waiter to bring another bottle, Zhang Xiaoliang couldn't help but smile bitterly, stopped her and said, "Xiao Shang, stop torturing yourself. Why would a good woman drink so much?"
Shang Yan rubbed his chest and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you don't know my situation. I feel bad!"
Zhang Xiaoliang sighed helplessly and said, "Another nymphomaniac."
Shang Yan suddenly stared at Zhang Xiaoliang in a daze, with a hint of ferocity in her eyes, and said coldly: "All of you men are not good people."
Zhang Xiaoliang knew that Shang Yan was trapped in love, but according to him, Shang Yan was just secretly in love with him and was wishful thinking. He could only persuade her: "I am indeed not a good person, but you can't bring Director Fang up. He has never provoked you. It's you who can't let him go."
Shang Yan slammed the table angrily. The empty wine bottle fell onto the table due to the vibration, making a ping-ping sound. "Why should I let him go? I just like him."
Zhang Xiaoliang smiled bitterly and said, "But he doesn't like you!"
Shang Yan pointed at Zhang Xiaoliang's nose and cursed, "You're talking nonsense! He must like me, otherwise why would he bring me to Qiongjin?"
Zhang Xiaoliang was speechless and could only sigh. After Shang Yan went crazy for a while, she finally calmed down and fell asleep on the table. Zhang Xiaoliang pushed Shang Yan and saw that she was unconscious. He settled the bill for the wine and food with the boss and could only help her get up and walk to the hotel.
Ever since Fang Zhicheng got married and returned to work, Shang Yan has been suppressing her inner emotions. Zhang Xiaoliang saw it and knew in his heart that Shang Yan's lovesickness would ultimately end in vain.
Shang Yan lay on top of him, Zhang Xiaoliang didn't have too many thoughts, he knew which women he could touch and which women he couldn't touch. Although Fang Zhicheng had no intention of Shang Yan, if Zhang Xiaoliang touched Shang Yan, it would probably make Fang Zhicheng feel uncomfortable. Zhang Xiaoliang thought clearly, there were so many women in the world, why should he ruin his future for a woman.
After sending Shang Yan to the bed, Zhang Xiaoliang sighed and turned back to his room. After entering the room, he coughed, and a young woman walked out of the bedroom. She stared at Zhang Xiaoliang with a bit of unkindness, and said unhappily: "Who is the woman you helped back just now? Sorry, I ruined your affair!"
Zhang Xiaoliang took out a hanger from the closet and slowly hung up the clothes. He sighed helplessly, "Meilu, don't be so suspicious. She is my colleague."
The woman was not Zhang Xiaoliang's wife, but Zhang Xiaoliang's lover Meilu. Although Zhang Xiaoliang intended to distance himself from her, Meilu always clung to him. Meilu didn't ask for much, just to be with Zhang Xiaoliang, not for status or money. Originally, Zhang Xiaoliang worked in Xiaguang, and he might have been hiding it, after all, it was not convenient. Zhang Xiaoliang's wife was a famous shrew, and even if they were having an affair, they were cautious.
Now that Zhang Xiaoliang has been transferred to the Development and Reform Commission, Meilu has directly taken a month's vacation and stayed with him all day. During the day, Zhang Xiaoliang goes to work, and Meilu goes shopping in Qiongjin. At night, the two of them make love in the room.
Mei Lu still couldn't let it go. She said unhappily, "Lao Zhang, I followed you for no other reason than because I love you and you love me. I didn't expect you to..."
Seeing Meilu sobbing, Zhang Xiaoliang sighed helplessly, walked to her side, and gently hugged her shoulders, but was pushed away by him.
Zhang Xiaoliang stood up, walked to the window, and said in a deep voice: "She is indeed my colleague, and she is my boss's confidant. Do you know what a confidant is? It is the person you trust the most. If I touch her, my career will be completely over. Also, thank you for loving me. I am not sure now whether I love you or not. You should go back to Hanzhou to work tomorrow!" After he finished speaking, he took out a cigarette, smoked it slowly, and the smoke floated out of the window.
Meilu stopped crying and said, "You're driving me away?"
Zhang Xiaoliang nodded, his eyes fell on the red sparks on his fingertips, and said, "Leave for now. When I settle down, I will find a way to transfer you to Qiongjin's school. But before that, don't make trouble with me."
Meilu wiped her tears with a tissue, then smiled and said, "Lao Zhang, I knew you were the best."
Zhang Xiaoliang turned sideways and looked at the changeable Meilu, with a smile on his face. Meilu couldn't see it, but in fact, this smile was full of helplessness and bitterness. Meilu was indeed a pitiful woman, but it was a pity that not everyone could bear it.
Zhang Xiaoliang is very smart and knows what Meilu wants. She is a very purposeful woman who is tired of life in Hanzhou and wants to change to a new working environment. Zhang Xiaoliang can naturally satisfy her, but the premise is that he has to help his boss and arrange everything first.
A month ago, Zhang Xiaoliang had started to contact all the connections he could make use of after work. His current network of connections is very wide, mostly with department-level cadres. Zhang Xiaoliang has always been very generous when he contacts these people. Zhang Xiaoliang's money comes from a secret channel. Since a few years ago, there has been a special person to contact him. As long as Zhang Xiaoliang provides receipts or invoices, he can get funds. Zhang Xiaoliang is a cautious person. He has never squandered the funds from this channel. He uses all of it to help his boss organize a network of relationships.
Of course, if Zhang Xiaoliang wants to get rich, he doesn't need to go through this channel. Because his network of interpersonal relationships is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xiaoliang only needs to contact this network to get wealth from formal channels. Now Zhang Xiaoliang's wife has partnered with others to open a construction waste recycling company in Hanzhou, and the annual profit has exceeded 10 million. In fact, Zhang Xiaoliang knows that the partners are mainly interested in his position in the Hanzhou officialdom. As long as his wife finds those companies that have construction waste to sell, who will not give her some face
Zhang Xiaoliang often wondered what his situation would be like now if his wife and he hadn't gone to Fang Zhicheng to visit him. Perhaps he would still be working in the district statistics bureau, staring at the tedious data all day, sighing in despair
Zhang Xiaoliang has always been convinced that that turning point in his fate was the most important event in his life.
Meilu went into the bathroom and took a shower. She lay on the bed, wearing only a thin silk pajamas. She raised her toes and hooked her eyes at Zhang Xiaoliang, looking very charming. Zhang Xiaoliang unbuttoned his collar and slowly walked towards where Meilu was.
Not long after, the soft bed began to vibrate dully...
Chapter 0870 New Position and New Mission
Golden Harbor Hotel is located in Haiya Zhongtian Business District, the most lively business district in Qiongjin. Looking from the outside, it is a building with a strong three-dimensional and modern feel. It emits golden light under the diffused sunlight. The silver triangular glass facade is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
In the living room of the suite on the 15th floor, Jiang Yong was quietly sipping tea. On his right, Chen Ying was reporting on a series of documents that the Provincial Department of Land and Resources was preparing to issue. After Chen Ying left the Development and Reform Commission, she became the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources. Jiang Yong was in charge of the Department of Land and Resources, so the two were still superiors and subordinates.
Since Jiang Yong left the Development and Reform Commission, he has chosen the Golden Harbor Hotel as his office location. Although there is also an office in Building No. 1, Jiang Yong rarely goes there. The main reason is that he feels it is very depressing to work in Building No. 1.
"This is the provincial mining rights transfer notice." Chen Ying handed a few pages of thin paper to Jiang Yong. "It seems that Director Cao has already determined the winning bidder."
Jiang Yong nodded and said, "Cao Tianchuan is an old fox. The Department of Land and Resources has become a toy in his hands. Over the years, with the indulgence of Governor Bu, he has done almost whatever he wants. Several mineral rights in the northern cities of Huainan have become tools for him to make private profits."
Chen Ying didn't expect Jiang Yong to speak so bluntly. She paused and sighed, "So what are you going to do?"
Jiang Yong weighed the thin papers in his hand and said, "Chen Ying, you have worked with me for many years. I know your ability, so I promoted you. Even if there was a problem like that, I would have made sure you got into the Department of Land and Resources. Now it's time to demonstrate your ability, and you should know how to handle this matter."
Chen Ying's face turned a little ugly. She was a smart person and of course she knew what Jiang Yong meant. He wanted her to report Cao Tianchuan.
Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Director Cao handles things perfectly. I have also observed him for a while and reviewed a lot of files, but there is no clue..."
Jiang Yong shook his head lightly and sighed, "Does it mean that to deal with a person, he must show his true colors?"
Chen Ying nodded and sighed, "Governor Jiang, I have to plan carefully."
Seeing that Chen Ying understood what he meant, Jiang Yong smiled faintly and said, "In many cases in life, you have to retreat in order to advance. Your leaving the Development and Reform Commission may seem like a small setback, but it is not. The Department of Land and Resources has enough room for you to show your talents. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will definitely support your work."
Chen Ying's expression became much more relaxed. She suddenly remembered something and asked in a deep voice, "Was that incident done by Shen Hanchun?"
