Zuo Yuxi was almost in despair.
Today, the foundation of the new office building of Qingzhou No. 1 Middle School was laid. Mayor Zhou Yuanting, who just took office in March, Deputy Mayor Liu Sheng, Secretary General of the Municipal Government Huang Wei, Director of the Education Bureau Li Dingguo and the school leaders of No. 1 Middle School attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After the meeting, the principal of No. 1 Middle School invited all the leaders to have a working meal at Fuqing Building. Zuo Yuxi was reluctant to attend, but she had no choice but to come and have dinner with the leaders after Li Dingguo's repeated requests. At this sensitive moment, she could not and dared not do whatever she wanted as in the past.
After the People's Congress in March, my father Zuo Jing was transferred to the position of Secretary of the Lingyang Municipal Party Committee, completing the difficult transition from a full-time department head to a deputy provincial governor. During this period, various forces were intertwined, and several major factions fought each other to the death, which was thrilling. Especially Zuo Jing's mortal enemy, Fang Mingtang, the former mayor of Qingzhou, who was the strongest candidate for the top leader of Lingyang, was unable to retreat even after losing the competition. Not only did Lingyang become a bubble, but he also lost the position of Secretary of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee, which was originally a useless position, and was directly driven to the People's Congress as the director.
Although Zuo Jing and Fang Mingtang did not get along, he did not want to kill them all. After all, if he did so, Fang Mingtang's future would be ruined, and the two would become mortal enemies. The officialdom is a public tool, and it would be more costly for Zuo Jing to make such an enemy who would never give up. But when things got to this point, so many people were involved, and it was no longer something that Zuo Jing could control alone.
Therefore, as the saying goes, when a person leaves, the tea gets cold, especially in a place like the officialdom, the warmth and coldness of people change overnight. Although Lingyang is the largest city in Jiangdong Province besides the provincial capital Guanshan City, and Zuo Jing's rank is even that of a deputy governor, his departure will soon reduce his influence on Qingzhou to the lowest level. If Zuo Yuxi continues to do his own thing, it will not only show that he is extremely naive in politics, but will even embarrass himself.
Everything at the banquet fully explained the problem. Zuo Yuxi was a famous "three-cup cadre" in Qingzhou. She drank one cup to the leaders, one cup to the organizing unit, and one cup to all colleagues. It has been like this for several years. Not to mention that Li Dingguo always helped her block the wine, even Zhou Yuanting often said that we treat everyone equally at work, but we have to protect female comrades at the table. Zuo Yuxi should drink less.
Zhou Yuanting was previously the executive vice mayor in charge of education, and Zuo Yuxi had many opportunities to deal with him.
But today was different. Although on the surface everyone was as enthusiastic as ever, Zhou Yuanting talked to her about work with a smile and asked if she had any difficulties, but Zuo Yuxi knew that the amiable and caring Deputy Mayor Zhou was gone, and in his place was the mayor, Fang Mingtang's diehard fan, and the de facto absolute power holder in Qingzhou - Zhou Yuanting.
Several city government staff began to toast. Li Dingguo habitually stood up to help Zuo Yuxi block the wine. He accidentally saw Mayor Zhou turning his head to talk to Liu Sheng. He didn't look at Zuo Yuxi with a smile as usual, and seemed to be unaware of his subordinates' actions. Li Dingguo's heart skipped a beat, and he found an excuse to go to the toilet and slipped out. When he came back, Zuo Yuxi was already a little drunk. Li Dingguo laughed coldly: Without my support, you can't pretend to be noble!
Director Li was happy but also a little angry to have a subordinate like Zuo Yuxi. He was happy that he had a direct link with Zuo Jing, but Miss Zuo's temper always made him feel sick as if he had swallowed a fly. Now that Qingzhou had changed, although he would not add insult to injury, it was also very gratifying to see the always arrogant Miss Zuo suffer a setback.
It was not until the end of the banquet that Zhou Yuanting seemed to notice that Zuo Yuxi had drunk too much. He scolded the few people who had encouraged him to drink and then let it go. Who would have thought that on Zuo Yuxi's way home, something like that would happen...
Zuo Yuxi felt that her strength was about to run out. With a vest filled with a sour smell stuffed in her mouth, no matter how hard she screamed, she could only make a whimpering sound. Two lines of tears flowed silently, and a feeling of loss of heart permeated her body.
She is desperate!
Suddenly, the man screamed and fell to the ground. Before Zuo Yuxi could react, she saw a little boy holding something high in his hand and smashing it hard on the man's knee, followed by a kick. The man who almost took everything from her didn't even scream a second time before he fainted from the pain.
Zuo Yuxi stared at all this in a daze, the shock from great sorrow to great joy surging back and forth in her heart, the great surprise of coming back to life made her beautiful face become distorted.
She looked at the little boy in disbelief. Is this her angel
Wen Liang exhaled lightly. As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw the gangster pounced on Zuo Yuxi, tearing his clothes frantically. He immediately moved over quietly, and when Zuo Yuxi stood up to untie his belt, he hit him in the waist with all his strength. That is where the human body's energy gathers. Once hit hard, it will immediately lose its fighting power. Wen Liang was still worried, so he hit the opponent's knee with a stick, not only to comminute the fracture, but also to make the boy unable to get up again.
As for the last kick, it was purely to vent anger.
Among the three behaviors that Wen Liang has always hated the most, forcing women to have sex ranks first!
"Are you okay?"
Wen Liang bent down and gazed at this ill-fated charming woman. Yes, charming!
The lights from the roadside shone in faintly, and the long black hair like satin made the white jade face more vivid. Under the slender and lightly swept eyebrows were a pair of big eyes like ink. With the slightest movement, there seemed to be ripples of water flowing. Zuo Yuxi raised her head slightly, and her tears diluted the rosy red on her cheeks. Her charming lips were slightly opened, as if she was crying and complaining.
Wen Liang sighed slightly, took off his short-sleeved shirt and put it on the woman, and said softly: "Get up first, it's okay, it's okay..."
Zuo Yuxi only felt a pair of dark eyes staring at him, and heard a distant and low voice in his ears, like a little fire in the cold winter, warm, reassuring and a little bit of enchanting. Many years later, when he thought of this night, what was deeply engraved in Zuo Yuxi's heart was always those jade-like eyes and the infatuated gentleness.
Zuo Yuxi had been immersed in the officialdom for many years. If it was something else, she would not be so helpless as she is now. After all, what happened tonight is the most terrible experience for any woman. When Wen Liang put clothes on her, Zuo Yuxi had regained her composure. She stood up, stared at Wen Liang's young and immature face, and whispered, "Thank you!"
Wen Liang shook his head and pointed at the gangster who fainted on the ground: "You're welcome... What about him?"
Zuo Yuxi didn't even glance at the gangster, straightened her dress, and took Wen Liang's hand to the car, opened the window and took out a mobile phone. Wen Liang took a look and saw that it was a silver-gray Ericsson GH337. This G** mobile phone, which was just launched in January, weighed only 220 grams and was the terminator of the "big brother" of a generation of Tianjiao. At this time, it was considered a symbol of true status.
"110? I am..."
"Don't!"
Wen Liang snatched the phone away, and seeing Zuo Yuxi's shocked expression, he realized that he was being abrupt. Zuo Yuxi had just been tortured, so she must be very sensitive. Don't misunderstand that he was greedy for money...
I quickly handed over the phone that had been hung up, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm..."
Zuo Yuxi burst into laughter after hearing these words. She patted Wen Liang's head with a gentle look in her eyes and said sincerely, "Why would I be scared? You saved me, so you are my benefactor... I was just surprised why I couldn't call the police..."
Perhaps it was Wen Liang's sudden appearance in the despair just now, perhaps it was the vicious expression on his face when he beat someone, or perhaps it was the strong contrast between Wen Liang's thin body and his decisiveness when he attacked, all of which made Zuo Yuxi feel inexplicably kind, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time, without suspicion or distrust, and could be trusted and relied on.
Women are always emotional, especially after experiencing a disaster.
Wen Liang felt the beauty's sincerity and thought to himself that he should help her to the end. "Sister, you are a girl after all," he turned around and pointed behind him, "It's better not to call the police for such a thing. If it gets out..."
Smart people understand things immediately. Zuo Yuxi exclaimed, "Ah!" and gave Wen Liang a light hug with gratitude: "I'm a little confused, brother, you're really smart! Yes, we can't call the police! We absolutely can't!"
Zuo Yuxi repeated it, and almost instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Maybe some girls could call the police, after all, they were not really hurt, but for her, it was not possible, not only because she was an official, but also because she had a father who was in a high position of power.
If I call the police, I can easily figure out that this matter will be exposed and will become something completely different from the truth. There are too many people in this officialdom who have ulterior motives! Moreover, how many enemies did my father make during this change of leadership, and how many people are waiting to see him make a fool of himself
If someone used this matter to maliciously slander his father, his father would lose face in Lingyang and his prestige would be completely lost. Thinking of this, Zuo Yuxi subconsciously tightened her hold on Wen Liang's hand.
The warm short-sleeved shirt is draped over the beautiful woman, and a faint fragrance wafts into her nose, refreshing her heart.
Saving someone in my spare time seems like a good idea. Wen Liang leaned on Zuo Yuxi's shoulder and grinned.
Letting go of the little boy in his arms, Zuo Yuxi raised his hand to smooth the hair beside his ear. His face suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the depths of the alley with hatred. He walked to the side and dialed a number: "Laojiu? Yes, in the middle of the East Street Hutong... a dead end alley, bring a few people... yes... cripple him..."
Wen Liang was startled and hurriedly walked away to show that he hadn't heard anything. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What's more terrible than offending a beautiful woman is offending a beautiful woman in the officialdom. After sighing, he was also a little confused. Zuo Yuxi looked delicate, but she didn't expect her methods to be good. But for an official to be so unscrupulous, isn't it too ostentatious
Later, Wen Liang realized that this was the so-called Qingzhou style.
Seeing Zuo Yuxi act as if nothing had happened after he finished the call, Wen Liang opened his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say. Although Zuo Yuxi's revenge was justified, he still felt alert.
Who are the people in the officialdom
Killing people is like killing grass without hearing a sound!
With this understanding, Wen Liang was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Zuo Yuxi his opinion.
Because he believed that what happened tonight was a conspiracy.
