Du Xi tilted her delicate face, shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Even though there are so many people, there is only one person who can attract your attention and even make you fall in love with him."
"What you said sounds a bit sour!" Xie Yuxin looked at Du Xi and fell silent.
Du Xi smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's not wrong to like you."
Xie Yuxin stared at Du Xi seriously and sighed: "I am very grateful to you, but..."
Du Xi shook her hand, interrupting Xie Yuxin, and whispered, "I know, this is a matter of orientation, and it's hard to change. I will continue to protect you and Lele as always, and I won't cross the line again."
Xie Yuxin sighed softly and said, "I respect you."
In the lesbian world, falling in love with the same sex is no different from a man falling in love with a woman or a woman falling in love with a man, and it is even more pure and beautiful. During the most difficult time for Xie Yuxin, Du Xi always accompanied her and helped her through the most empty and lonely time in her heart. Xie Yuxin was full of gratitude to Du Xi, but Du Xi knew that gratitude was not love. So when she realized that Xie Yuxin liked Fang Zhicheng, although she was reluctant, she still considered the problem from Xie Yuxin's perspective.
This is a different kind of love.
When Fang Zhicheng woke up, it was already early morning of the next day. He found himself living in Xie Yuxin's small apartment. He closed his eyes and took a nap, and by the way, he had a dream of time travel. He became an emperor, a stupid one, with five concubines around him. One fed him wine, one fed him grapes, one gently waved a silk fan, one helped him massage his shoulders and legs, and another let him touch, massage and rub him... He was so happy... Suddenly, he felt suffocated, and Fang Zhicheng woke up from his dream. After widening his eyes, he found that Lele was looking at him with a smile, and two fingers as tender as bamboo shoots were pinching his nose.
Du Xi was standing next to her, smiling smugly. Fang Zhicheng quickly realized what had happened. It must be Du Xi who instigated Lele to torture him.
Fang Zhicheng hugged Lele in his arms, kissed her pink and jade-like cheek, and said with a smile: "Lele, you are too naughty. Uncle was almost suffocated by you."
Lele was pricked by Fang Zhicheng's stubble and laughed, "Uncle is so lazy. The sun has been out for a long time. You should get up quickly."
Fang Zhicheng let go of Lele and stretched himself. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his body. He then realized that he was naked. He blinked at Du Xi and said awkwardly, "Big star, do you know where my clothes are?"
Du Xi shrugged, rolled his eyes, and said, "I don't know. Someone drank too much last night and his clothes were all dirty. I'm afraid he won't be able to go out today."
Lele covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Uncle, aren't you wearing any clothes?" After that, she pulled back the quilt and tried to get inside.
Fang Zhicheng was embarrassed and quickly waved his hands, urging Du Xi, "Hurry up and take Lele out, otherwise something bad will happen."
Du Xi laughed twice, put his arms around Lele, held her in his arms, and walked out of the bedroom.
About five minutes later, Xie Yuxin pushed the door open and walked in, holding clean clothes in her arms. She said, "These are the clothes I just bought. You can wear them for now. Yesterday's clothes were so smelly that I've already washed them."
"Thank you." Fang Zhicheng said with a smile, "I lost my composure last night. I'm afraid it took a lot of effort to bring me back."
Du Xi glared at Fang Zhicheng helplessly and said, "You were like a madman yesterday. What a terrible memory. It seems that you have forgotten it. I am too lazy to remind you."
After saying that, Du Xi turned and left the room. Fang Zhicheng tried hard to recall what happened last night, but he couldn't remember anything.
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was over. On the first Friday after the Spring Festival, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zhicheng attended the third county magistrate meeting since he was promoted to deputy county magistrate. The meeting was chaired by Qi Yun.
Qi Yun first summarized the work progress in various fields of the county last year, and then elaborated on the key tasks of the county this year. At the end of the meeting, the issue of "adjusting the division of labor of deputy county governors" was proposed.
Deputy County Chief Deng Hongguo frowned. He knew that the division of labor was fake. The key was to arrange work for the new Deputy County Chief Fang Zhicheng. Holding a teacup, he said calmly, "County Chief Jike, County Chief Qi Yun, I think the original work arrangement of Dongtai is very reasonable. Last year, everyone has made achievements in their respective areas of responsibility. If we want to make major adjustments to the division of labor now, it is obviously too hasty and not conducive to stability and long-term development."
Deng Hongguo ranked third. He was an old man in the Dongtai government. Even when Sun Weiming was the county magistrate, he relied a lot on him. He was originally a popular candidate for the executive deputy county magistrate, but he didn't expect Qi Yun to take over. He was obviously very dissatisfied.
If it were in the past, Deng Hongguo might not have confronted Qi Yun. After all, Qi Yun was highly valued by the top leader Sun Weiming, and it would be like hitting a rock with an egg if he went against her. But a few days ago, Deng Hongguo met with Sun Weiming privately, and during that meeting, Sun Weiming revealed a lot of information. Sun Weiming no longer trusted Qi Yun, so he asked Deng Hongguo to pay attention to Qi Yun's movements and monitor her every move.
Deng Hongguo ranks third among the deputy county governors, and his words carry a lot of weight.
Liao Guidong, the deputy county chief in charge of agriculture and land management, who wore the same trouser leg as Deng Hongguo, coughed and echoed, "I think what County Chief Deng said makes sense. Changing orders every day is a bad phenomenon. It has a great impact on the departments in charge. Just when they have just adapted to the style of one leader, they suddenly become another leader. This will probably cause confusion."
The other deputy county heads all began to discuss the matter, and as they whispered to each other, they intentionally revealed that they did not agree with the adjustment of the division of labor.
Qi Yun frowned slightly. This was the first time she encountered such a situation since she became the executive deputy county magistrate. The deputy county magistrates united to oppose her deployment, which surprised her.
Soon, Qi Yun realized that it must be Sun Weiming who was behind this. Ever since Zhao Heping was killed, Sun Weiming began to keep his distance from Qi Yun. Apart from normal work arrangements, they no longer had any private communication. Qi Yun was very close to Fang Zhicheng, which aroused Sun Weiming's vigilance. He was not a person who easily trusted others. After being instigated by Zou Yu and others, he naturally began to keep a backup plan to prevent Qi Yun from betraying him.
Qi Yun remained calm, tapped the table with her fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has such strong opinions, we will not discuss the large-scale adjustment of the division of labor among county governors for the time being. However, Comrade Zhicheng has just been the deputy county governor for a short time, so he still needs to be assigned corresponding work. Since he was the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau before, I will assign the original investment promotion work to him. Do you have any objections?"
Deng Hongguo was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that Qi Yun had played a trick. The initial proposal of large-scale job adjustments was just a feint. The ultimate goal was to assign a job to Fang Zhicheng.
Everyone is against large-scale job adjustments, so as a second best option, assigning a single job to Fang Zhicheng, would that still cause opposition
If Qi Yun had proposed at the beginning that Fang Zhicheng should be responsible for the work of attracting investment, Deng Hongguo might have found a reason to oppose it, but Qi Yun was just bluffing. Deng Hongguo had already opposed her proposal. If he continued to oppose it now, the conflict would escalate. If the confrontation was too tit-for-tat, the conflict would become uncontrollable.
Moreover, Qi Yun cut out a piece of her own work and gave it to Fang Zhicheng, which did not conflict with anyone else. It was difficult for Deng Hongguo to find a reason to stop Qi Yun's decision.
Xing Jike coughed and held the teacup and said, "Comrade Qi Yun's decision is still correct. Dongtai's investment promotion work has grown by leaps and bounds last year. That was achieved under the leadership of Comrade Zhicheng. For young people, I think we should follow the city committee's personnel strategy and dare to use and reuse them. So in addition to attracting investment, Comrade Zhicheng can also participate in the construction of the Commerce Bureau, Industry and Commerce Bureau, Tobacco Bureau, Free Trade Zone and key projects..."
When Xing Jike said this, Deng Hongguo's face immediately fell and became very ugly. If Fang Zhicheng was only responsible for attracting investment, it would not be a big deal. If he also took over those other departments, wouldn't it threaten his position as the deputy county magistrate
According to the importance of the areas under his charge, if what Xing Jike proposed happens, Fang Zhicheng will become the third-ranked deputy county magistrate with his real power. Then where will he stand as the deputy county magistrate in charge of science, education, culture and health
Fang Zhicheng's current job is actually exactly the same as Luo Hui's when he was transferred to the CPPCC last year. After Luo Hui left, the county standing committee was missing a person. Deng Hongguo originally wanted to replace Luo Hui and move up a level, but now Fang Zhicheng has appeared out of nowhere, which will make his wish come to nothing.
Today's county magistrate meeting was extremely unfavorable to Deng Hongguo. Since Xing Jike was completely sidelined by Sun Weiming, he rarely expressed substantive opinions at county magistrate meetings. However, he and Qi Yun jointly expressed their stance today, firmly supporting Fang Zhicheng to take the position, which was not good news.
The top two leaders have made it clear that it will be very difficult to reverse the current situation.
Deng Hongguo pursed his lips and lowered his head deeply, his heart filled with resentment and anger. As for Fang Zhicheng, he kept writing and drawing on the notebook. If someone looked at it, they would definitely be surprised. There was a round table drawn on the notebook, with seven pig heads beside the table. Each pig head had a number on top, but the numbers "2" and "3" were missing.
"They are all pigs!" Fang Zhicheng wrote down these words, thinking that he was a little crazy, and then used a pen to paint the words into black.
