Excellent little farmer

Xu Ziqi nodded repeatedly and said with a smile like a flower: "Secretary Ye, with your support in the mausoleum, we are determined not to be afraid anymore. Cui Chen and I have discussed it. No matter how high the price is, we must contract the Xishan Hotel. , to become a high-end consumption place integrating catering and entertainment.”

I smiled, avoided the topic of Xishan Hotel, and said slowly, "As long as you have confidence, as long as you operate in compliance with the law and don't engage in pornography, gambling, or drugs, even if you don't know me, I believe no one will come to look for trouble."

Cui Chen sighed beside him and said: "Secretary Ye, it's better to be under your rule. Originally, we have chosen a favorite project in Yuzhou, but the security there is good, but the yamen's style is too serious. In order to get When it came to the formalities, I ran non-stop between various departments, including health and epidemic prevention, technical supervision, industry and commerce, taxation, fire protection, more than a dozen departments. I ran for two months in a row. My legs were almost broken from exhaustion, but I still couldn’t get the official seal. To be sure, they have really responded to what the common people say: 'The door is difficult to enter, the face is ugly, the words are ugly, and things are difficult to do.'"

I chuckled, flicked the cigarette ashes between my fingers, and said calmly: "Old Cui, the problems you reported also existed in Lingtai County before, but they will change soon. Last time I was in the county magistrate's office It has been proposed at the meeting that after the year, the government office will take the lead in setting up an administrative hall to bring together staff from various administrative departments to improve work efficiency. As long as there are no special circumstances, no delays will be allowed. There will be supervisors posted in the administrative hall. The telephone number of the deputy county magistrate. Anyone who cannot complete the procedures within a week can call the complaint number. For departments and office staff with serious problems, those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be laid off will be laid off. We will never tolerate it."

After hearing this, Cui Chen hurriedly smiled and flattered: "Secretary Ye, this is a good idea. If the bosses from other places know about it, they will probably rush to Xishan in droves."

Xu Ziqi also smiled timidly beside her, nodded in agreement, "No wonder Xue Ling kept praising Secretary Ye, you are really a good official who does practical things for the people."

I smiled slightly, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and waved my hands slightly: "The functional departments of the government should improve their service awareness. This is what they should do."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Bai Xueling's slender and tall figure appeared at the door. She had indeed just fed the child, and there was still a small patch of wetness on her breast. My eyes fell there, and they suddenly became hot, and I quickly turned my gaze away. He moved away and joked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are wrong. There are guests at home, but you are patronizing the baby and neglecting your friends. This is not the way to treat guests."

Bai Xueling hurriedly came over, first smiled sweetly, and then explained helplessly: "Secretary Ye, please don't criticize me! That kid Lele is too naughty, just playing around and refusing to concentrate on eating. "

Cui Chen put out the cigarette butt and carefully put it into the ashtray. He glanced at the beautiful Bai Xueling, his expression turned gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "It's okay, Secretary Ye, we are not outsiders, Ziqi and Xueling is a close boudoir friend who talks about everything. It was all thanks to Xueling's help that I pursued Ziqi. Speaking of which, I really should thank her."

Xu Ziqi inadvertently noticed the change in her husband's expression. She raised her hand, put it to her mouth, and coughed twice. Cui Chen immediately sat up straight, and his expression became a little embarrassed. Xu Ziqi curled her lips and curled her lips. With an imperceptible sneer, she glanced sideways at Cui Chen, then stood up with a cheerful face, walked to Bai Xueling, took her arm affectionately, and pulled her to the sofa to sit down. The two of them were leaning on each other, as if they were sisters.

I put down the tea cup in my hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect that you were a matchmaker back then."

Bai Xueling smiled, nodded and said: "Secretary Ye, don't mention it. Ziqi is the most heartless. If I hadn't encouraged them, how could she be as rich as she is now! But when this girl saw me, Not only does he not care about my kindness, but he always talks about old sesame seeds and rotten millet things, and wants to settle things with me."

Xu Ziqi stretched out her hand and punched Bai Xueling's leg, pretending to be angry: "Secretary Ye, please explain this to Ping Ping. She took a few bags of melon seeds from Cui Chen and betrayed me as her best friend. You think I Should I settle this account with her? I don’t blame her for betraying me, I just hate her for selling me too cheaply.”

I touched the tea cup and smiled, nodded slightly and said, "It must be liquidated. It seems that my sister-in-law has no financial acumen and cannot do business."

Bai Xueling glanced at me and said with a half-smile, "Secretary Ye, you decided the case unfairly, I have an objection!"

Xu Ziqi glanced at the two of them, with an ambiguous smile on her face, leaned over, put her mouth to Bai Xueling's ear, and whispered: "If you have any opinions, put them under bed. If you don't serve the leader well, how can he help?" say something."

Bai Xueling hurriedly pushed Xu Ziqi away, smiled, spat lightly, and said with a blush on her face: "Ziqi, what are you talking about, you hate me!"

Although I didn't hear Xu Ziqi's words clearly, I could vaguely guess what they were saying, so I drank the tea with a smile, my eyes fell on Bai Xueling's charming face, and my mood started to throb again. .

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Cui Chen and his wife saw that I did not put on the airs of a superior secretary, but lowered my posture and chatted with them like old friends. Relaxation, the atmosphere in the living room gradually relaxed, not as rigid as it was at the beginning.

After Bai Xueling entered the room, Xu Ziqi seemed to be relying on her. Her chatterbox opened up completely, shooting out like a machine gun. She kept talking happily, and her little mouth was never idle for a moment. Soon, Cui Chen and I stopped During the conversation, they both drank tea from their cups and listened intently to the chat between the two women.

Xu Ziqi held Bai Xueling's hand tightly and recalled the old things that happened in college. When the topic came to secrets, the expressions on the faces of the two young women became ambiguous, and sometimes they bit their ears and whispered, Sometimes she twists into a ball and is extremely happy, rubbing her ears and temples together, and her eyes are wandering, giving her a different kind of charming style.

Since moving to Lao West Street, my house has rarely been so lively. People say that two women together are worth five hundred ducks. This is true. Seeing them chatting happily makes me happy. He found it very interesting, and he was also full of curiosity about Bai Xueling's past, so he listened very carefully and smiled from time to time.

Cui Chen listened for a while, and he listened with interest at first. But later, when he heard Bai Xueling praising her husband for being gentle, considerate, and smart, his mood became a little depressed, and he sat dejectedly next to Xu Ziqi's bed. Beside him, he was smoking a cigarette, staring at the vermilion teapot on the coffee table, motionless, as if he was deep in thought.

After a while, I heard Mother Zhong shouting in the yard: "Nizi, the food is ready. Come and get it quickly. It's a little late for dinner today. Secretary Ye may be hungry already."

"coming!"

Bai Xueling was in the middle of the conversation and was still a little reluctant to leave. After she replied with a sweet voice, she put her lips to Xu Ziqi's ear again and whispered a few words. The two women said "cluck!" ' laughed heartily. After the laughter, she patted Xu Ziqi's shoulder, stood up reluctantly, swayed out, and soon came to the yard and went to the west wing to serve food.

Cui Chen turned his head involuntarily and glanced at her graceful back. His expression became a little sad. He stood up from the sofa without saying a word and said softly: "Secretary Ye, you sit down first. I'll get it from the car." Although the wine is not a good brand, it is definitely pure grain wine, brewed by the local winery and tastes very good.”

I smiled and nodded. As a secretary, I have always refused to accept gifts from others. In addition, there are usually no guests visiting. I really don’t have any wine at home. When I need it, I always go out to buy it. I drank a lot of fake wine. I don’t really care if it’s pure grain wine.

Cui Chen walked out of the room silently, with an indescribable desolation on his back. When Xu Ziqi saw it, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace. She couldn't help but frown slightly and sighed secretly, knowing that although it was... After many years, the man still couldn't let go of his former best friend. When he came to Lingtai County this time, in addition to doing business, he was probably also looking forward to taking the opportunity to meet her.

Thinking of this, Xu Ziqi's heart sank, and a feeling of jealousy arose in her chest. She touched the cup and swallowed the tea. She smashed it in her mouth. She felt that the tip of her tongue was numb for a while, and her mouth became even more miserable.

My eyes are so sharp now. During the conversation just now, everyone's performance fell into my eyes. I didn't need to figure it out. I could see the mystery at a glance. I'm afraid Cui Chen was also pursuing Bai Xueling with his heart back then, but it's a pity that Liu Shui had other intentions. , Luohua was ruthless, he was sad and disappointed, so he gave up the young lady and married the maid. His love is still lingering, and he is still a little bit worried about Bai Xueling.

Unexpectedly, Cui Chen, a tall and thick man, is also a passionate person. He also has an extremely soft and delicate place in his heart, which treasures a secret emotion. This is surprising, but things like feelings are indeed very complicated. Often the less you can get, the more you cherish it.
