Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a playful smile looming in his eyes.

At this time, Liu Lianxiang's voice came from the other end of the phone. When he heard Zhong Yuemin mention "Master Liu Shengli", he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, his mind began to work rapidly, like a high-speed machine, trying to glean some unknown secret from these brief words.

"Teacher Zhong, you...what do you mean? Do you have any idea in your mind?"

There was a hint of curiosity and tentativeness in Liu Lianxiang's words, and he was obviously quite surprised by Zhong Yuemin's sudden request.

Song Xiangjun, who was standing aside, was already extremely anxious. Her originally bright and moving eyes were now fixed on Zhong Yuemin. She dared not even blink, for fear of missing even a single word of information.

Because she was too anxious, Song Xiangjun couldn't help but tiptoe and lean forward, almost close to Zhong Yuemin's ear. At the same time, she deliberately lowered her voice, with a tone that was hard to conceal, mixed with a little bit of subtle shyness, and urged softly, "Hey, Yuemin, please speak faster!"

As Song Xiangjun approached, a warm breath gently blew across Zhong Yuemin's face, like a gentle spring breeze blowing across the calm lake, instantly stirring up tiny ripples in the lake of his heart.

Zhong Yuemin only felt a warm breath gently brushing his ears, as if a naughty kitten stretched out its soft claws and gently tickled his heart. The itchy feeling quickly spread throughout his body, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

Unable to suppress the surging emotions in his heart any longer, Zhong Yuemin suddenly pulled Song Xiangjun beside him tightly into his arms.

Song Xiangjun was caught off guard and was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. She was startled and cried out in shock, "Oh my! You are going to die! There are other people here!"

Hearing Song Xiangjun's scream, Zhong Yuemin not only did not let go, but revealed an irresistible charm. "Xiangjun, are you tempting me?"

Song Xiangjun's cheeks instantly turned red, as tempting as a ripe apple. She glared at Zhong Yuemin coquettishly and said angrily, "Bah! How did I seduce you? It's obviously you who don't know what's good for you. You are getting bolder and bolder, right? Let me go quickly, we are still talking about business!"

Although she said this, Song Xiangjun didn't actually struggle hard, as if deep down she didn't mind the hug.

As the two were chatting and flirting with each other, they completely forgot that they were talking to Liu Lianxiang on the other end of the phone.

Liu Lianxiang, who was on the other end of the phone, was completely confused and full of doubts after hearing the noisy sounds and intermittent words coming from this side.

Liu Lianxiang couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted into the microphone, "Hello! Hello! Hello! Teacher Zhong, what's going on over there? Is the signal bad? Why are you screaming and laughing?"

Zhong Yuemin realized his mistake and cleared his throat immediately, saying seriously, "Ahem, Old Liu, I'm sorry, there was a small incident just now. It's like this, I do have an idea recently, and I want to ask Master Liu for help. As for the salary, tell him that as long as he can make an offer, I won't frown even once."

Liu Lianxiang's voice came through the thin telephone line, mixed with obvious helplessness. "Teacher Zhong, you really gave me a huge problem this time! Actually, Liu Shengli works in the Computer Institute. He was temporarily seconded from there to help our new computer company. Let's not talk about whether the leaders of the Computer Institute will agree to let him go. Even if Master Liu himself is willing, it's hard to say. You know, it's too difficult for me to ask for this kind of thing. I'm really afraid that it won't work out in the end and it will embarrass everyone."

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin sighed softly, then slowly turned his gaze to Song Xiangjun beside him, who also looked extremely anxious.

Song Xiangjun's originally beautiful face was now filled with deep disappointment. Her eyes, which had once been as bright as stars, now seemed to have lost their former luster and became dull, just like a delicate flower that had been ruthlessly destroyed by frost, which made people feel pity.

Zhong Yuemin's heart suddenly tightened, because what he hated most was to see his woman looking so distraught, lonely and helpless.

Zhong Yuemin cleared his throat, adjusted his sitting position slightly, and then coughed softly before asking again, "Old Liu, I want to ask you again whether Liu Shengli holds any specific position in the computer institute?"

Liu Lianxiang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if he was trying hard to search and recall information about Liu Shengli in the depths of his mind.

After a while, Liu Lianxiang said slowly, "Speaking of Liu Shengli, he is actually just a man who does his job honestly. He goes to work on time every day according to the prescribed time, and never leaves early or delays when he gets off work. He has always been like this and is very punctual. Working in the computer institute, he can be considered diligent and conscientious. But if you say that he has any particularly outstanding or unique position, then it is really not. Well, in short, to sum it up in one sentence, Liu Shengli is an honest and good person!"

Hearing Liu Lianxiang's words, Zhong Yuemin instantly understood what he meant. He immediately responded, "Oh, so that's the case! Then please tell me his detailed address, and I will go to him in person to discuss it. After confirming the relevant matters, I will discuss the issue of secondment fees with our computer department."

"Okay, as long as you can convince him, I can help you with the Computer Institute." Liu Lianxiang replied affirmatively.

You know, for seconded cadres to help with work, it is in line with policy for the transferred unit to pay a certain amount of "hardship pay".

Whether it is job adjustment, temporary secondment, open recruitment, contract public relations, or short-term technical support, etc., the state has expressly prohibited the free occupation of various professional talent resources.

In fact, such things as secondment were not uncommon at that time.

Especially since the 1980s, in order to further consolidate and vigorously develop the street collective economy, governments at all levels often seconded some staff from the financial and trade systems to support the work of the street cooperatives and properly arrange for the employment of those educated youth who returned to the city.

As for the larger-scale hydropower bridge engineering projects, it is even more necessary for the personnel bureaus across the country to coordinate and deploy in a unified manner, carefully organize and mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources to launch a vigorous battle.

The purpose of such large-scale personnel mobilization and centralized operations is to better promote the progress of various infrastructure construction, thereby promoting the rapid and healthy development of the economy and society.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuemin's face was filled with an expression of joy that was hard to conceal, which was in stark contrast to Song Xiangjun standing next to him.

Song Xiangjun pouted her rosy lips, stared at Zhong Yuemin with dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "How can you still be happy? I am so worried now! Not only do I have to go to school to teach students every day, but I also have to take care of two children at home when I come back, and at the same time I have to take care of the affairs of the printing factory. I am so busy that I am almost exhausted! And you are just smiling like nothing happened."

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin quickly put away his smile, revealed an innocent look, shrugged helplessly and explained, "Oh, I'm not happy about anything else, but I feel that this difficult matter has finally taken a turn for the better. Look at yourself, your brows are so tightly furrowed that you can almost catch a mosquito! If you continue like this, you'll turn into an old woman with a sad face."

Who would have thought that this sentence was like lighting a powder keg, making Song Xiangjun, who was already a little angry, instantly explode. She widened her eyes, quickly put her hands on her waist, angrily stared at Zhong Yuemin and scolded him, "Well, you dare to say I'm old? Humph! I think you are just itching for a fight, right?"

Zhong Yuemin stared with his big eyes, his face full of confusion, and explained eagerly. "Fuck, where did I say you were old? God and heaven are my conscience, I am more wronged than Dou E!"

However, Song Xiangjun was not moved at all. She crossed her arms, pouted her lips coquettishly, and said relentlessly, "Humph, you clearly said it, don't try to deny it!" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin could only sigh helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart: Oh, it turns out that you can't reason with a woman, it simply doesn't work!

Thinking of this, Zhong Yue suddenly had an idea and quickly changed the subject. "Okay, okay, let's not dwell on this issue for now. Did you understand anything from what Liu Lianxiang said just now?"

Hearing this, Song Xiangjun couldn't help but frown slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and asked in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean? Is there still a chance for this matter to turn around? Why do I feel that there is no hope for this matter?"

Zhong Yuemin's signature smile reappeared on his angular face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of indescribable cunning and humor. "Liu Lianxiang just sent Liu Shengli a very meaningful 'good guy card'! Comrade Xiao Song, do you know what this means?"

When Song Xiangjun heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, revealed a hint of confusion. Obviously, this was the first time she had heard of such a new term as "good guy card".

Song Xiangjun opened her red lips and asked in confusion, "What is a good guy card? Is there anything wrong with being a good person?" Her words were full of curiosity and confusion.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but smile slightly, with a hint of subtle teasing in his eyes. He cleared his throat and then patiently explained to Song Xiangjun, "Good people, of course, there's nothing wrong with them. It's just that Liu Lianxiang specifically emphasized that Liu Shengli is a 'good and honest person' this time, which means there's a lot of meaning behind it! Usually, such an evaluation would imply that this person is relatively law-abiding and honest, whether at work or in daily life. In other words, this person is not very good at playing tricks or using circuitous means, let alone taking shortcuts or working hard to gain personal gains! To put it in a more popular way, he is the type of person who 'is not very successful'!"

After hearing these words, Song Xiangjun's pretty face suddenly showed a look of astonishment. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is this really the case? Are you kidding me?"

Zhong Yuemin nodded, indicating that this was true, and then continued to talk. "In addition, Liu Lianxiang also told me that Liu Shengli is like a model employee, going to work and leaving get off work on time every day. Comrade Xiao Song, this doesn't sound special at first glance, it's quite normal, right? But in fact, there is a lot of story here!"

Hearing this, Song Xiangjun couldn't help but look puzzled and interrupted, "This... What's wrong with this normal commute? Why can't I see it?"

Zhong Yuemin raised his mouth corner, revealing a meaningful smile, and explained slowly. "Hey... Think about it, if a person is in high spirits, it's not the same in some units! For example, if you write a work summary, they stipulate that you have to pay one cent for each word; for example, if you run an office at home, you have to pay "electricity fees" and so on. There are so many strange names. If I put all these situations in front of you, do you still think that going to get off work normally is a common thing?"

After listening to Zhong Yuemin's analysis, Song Xiangjun suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Liu Shengli is just like a nobody in the computer institute, he's dispensable. So do we still have a chance?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled confidently. "Of course, I think there is an 80% chance."

Song Xiangjun asked curiously, "What about the remaining 20%?"

Zhong Yuemin sighed softly, with a complicated look in his eyes. "If Liu Shengli is the kind of person who is truly aloof and rigid, then I can't do anything about it. Such a person regards money as dirt and fame and fortune as clouds, and will not be easily moved by us. If he is not such a person, I will use money to beat him over."

Song Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him. "Look how proud you are of yourself."

"Don't you just like my arrogance?"

"Go to hell! Let's go to Liu Shengli's house now. I want to talk to him in person and see if he is the good man you said he was."
