Rebirth: 1977

It can be said that Xia Zijian was not familiar with Xu Rong and was unwilling to get close to her. There was also no need for the two of them to have any intersection at work.

Therefore, the two people originally had no grudges against each other and worked on the same side of the city government.

For Xia Zijian, he just needed to stay away from Xia Minglei's beautiful female secretary.

In other words, he held this attitude towards everyone close to Xia Minglei.

Except Xi Jun and Si Kong Kong.

Because the two of them are his brother-in-law's people, which means they are almost his own people.

When Xu Rong took the initiative to make friends with Xia Zijian and looked for an opportunity to get close to him, Xia Zijian already knew that he was going to be transferred from Pengcheng back to Beijing, and was in a good mood.

Therefore, his tone and attitude were a little more polite.

After all, the girl approaches you actively, and she is someone close to the leader. As long as she does not cross his bottom line, he, as a normal man and a cadre who has been in officialdom for many years, cannot treat this young and beautiful woman who is favored by the leaders and has good abilities so coldly.

Xia Zijian would certainly not do such a stupid thing as leaving others with gossip for no reason.

Perhaps Xia Zijian's attitude caused Xu Rong to misinterpret his meaning, giving her the confidence to keep trying.

Or perhaps, what Xia Minglei promised her just happened to be in line with her aspirations and ambitions.

Besides, if she could really pursue Xia Zijian, he would be the best choice for her to marry.

But she didn't really understand Xia Zijian.

Xu Rong knew what Xia Yingying had done in her circle, so of course she understood the real reason for their divorce.

In Xu Rong's opinion, Xia Zijian's silent divorce from Xia Yingying meant that he had easily forgiven his ex-wife.

And through her all-round understanding, Xia Zijian is a person who can be easily controlled by women.

She has strong working ability and a strong background, but without the courage given by Xia Minglei, she probably would not dare to take action.

Now, her confidence comes from Xia Minglei. 'When the fake becomes real, the real becomes fake'. If she really marries Xia Zijian, then her future path does not necessarily have to follow the arrangements of the old man.

With a background like Xia Zijian, she has every chance to get rid of that old man Xia Minglei sooner.

Therefore, her pursuit of Xia Zijian was completely sincere, but it had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

It’s just that the way she expressed her feelings, the olive branch she extended to Xia Zijian, and the timing were all wrong.

Want to tie him to Xia Minglei's boat? Still stay in Pengcheng to work and snatch Si Kongkong's position as director?

Xia Zijian really didn't want the position of director of Pengcheng Public Security Bureau, let alone trying to snatch it from Sikong Kong.

Regarding his relationship with Xia Minglei, he has tried his best to control his emotions. If possible, he would rather go to the countryside to carry out police missions if he can stay away from them.

Xu Rong's words really touched Xia Zijian's bottom line, causing him to go from disliking Xu Rong to completely hating him.

"Xu Rong, you are Xia Minglei's man, how dare you say such nonsense to me?

Everyone knows that the relationship between your leader and I is so awkward. Why do you want him to be my 'benefactor' for his 'recognition'?

Is he worthy?

Who are you? Why are you running in front of me and making such a fuss?

You may be willing to do anything for the position of deputy director of an office, and even be willing to acknowledge a thief as your father.

In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would lose all shame and self-respect just for the position of Public Security Bureau Chief?

Get out of the way. You and I have been on different paths since the moment you became Xia Minglei's secretary.

If you want to save some face for yourself, just put those little thoughts in your mind away.

When we meet again, we will just be strangers!"

He pushed aside the stunned and self-righteous woman: "Bad luck!"

If he delayed any longer, it would be almost time to get off work, and he had to hurry to get Sikong Kong to sign the leave application he had given him.

Then, he made an appointment with Sikong, Kong Xijun and the other two to go out for a drink.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but I encountered this woman who kept saying so many annoying and disgusting things.

Sikong Kong stood at the door of his office upstairs. He didn't want to eavesdrop, but Xia Zijian said he was coming to him to approve his leave application, so he opened the door to greet him.

From now on, Deputy Director Xia, who was originally one level lower than him in administrative rank, would be half a level higher than him after returning to Beijing.

Si Kong Kong always felt that he could hold the position of Public Security Bureau Chief steadily until he retired with honor.

He thought Xia Minglei didn't mind him getting a little closer to Ye Tianshui and Xia Zijian, and was still satisfied with his work.

But from what Xu Rong said, he could be sure that it was Xia Minglei who instructed it.

What was their purpose in wanting to keep Xia Zijian? Xia Zijian was listening to Xu Rong's words with personal feelings and emotions, so he just hated and detested it.

However, as a 'bystander', he accidentally heard Xu Rong's words and couldn't help but think more deeply about it.

When Xia Zijian ran up the stairs angrily and knocked on Sikong Kong's office door, he was sitting quietly in his office chair, holding a case report in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Unless Xia Zijian told him about this matter, he could only pretend that he had never heard of it.

"Director, my brother-in-law said that he has already made an agreement with you. There is no need to wait for Leader Xia to put his stamp on my transfer order.

I just need you to approve my leave application, and then I can return to Beijing.

Ha, let's call Brother Xi to arrange a dinner first. We won't go home until we are drunk today."

Xia Zijian put the leave application on Sikong Kong's desk. After being disturbed by Xu Rong, he lost his excitement and forgot that he needed to explain the new transfer order.

Si Kongkong stood up cheerfully, walked out from behind the desk, and held Xia Zijian's hand tightly:

"Congratulations, congratulations on your promotion!

This is a great event and we should definitely celebrate it.”

Xia Zijian was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized what he had missed: "Thank you, thank you, I didn't expect it, I was shocked when Xiaoshui called me.

Now I understand what "good things take time" means, haha, Xia... My leader has been trying to persuade me in this way, and I have actually gained an advantage.

Director, there is no need to use the words "you" or "you"; there is no point in talking nonsense between us."

"As it should be. Our personal relationship is one thing, but here, we must be polite and courteous.

We can’t give anyone who has ulterior motives to find fault with us.”

Si Kong Kong now understood one thing: just doing his job well did not mean he had secured his position.

Since Xia Minglei had this idea in mind, if one day he really found a suitable person to replace him as the director of the Public Security Bureau, it would be easy for him to find a reason.

This is how the officialdom works. From Xia Minglei's point of view, he might have already been classified as one of Ye Tianshui's "group".

Therefore, it is impossible for him to remain 'neutral'.

Then in the future he not only needs to do his job well, but also needs to stand firm.

Xia Zijian, Ye Tianshui, Su Jianxin... and everything behind them are his support and reliance for the future.
