Chapter 84 The Man in the Painting
It is not shameful to peep, but shameful to be found by two women at the same time. With Liang Guizhi's giggle, Zhou Yuan, who has always been gentle and elegant, was also angry and showed her extremely barbaric side. She grabbed Wang Siyu's ear and pushed him drunk into the bathroom. Then she pulled Liang Guizhi back to the room. The two of them set up chessboards on the coffee table, picked up chess pieces, and started playing chess.
Liang Guizhi was a little absent-minded. For her, the Minjiang team's adjustment was not thorough enough and she left a big tail. Although Li Chen would definitely leave and she had a great chance of coming up, Liang Guizhi knew very well that the officialdom was like a battlefield, full of variables. As long as the appointment was not completed, everything would be a mirror flower in the water moon, which was out of reach. Who knows whether Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway through the road, which would ruin her good things?
Liang Guizhi can still understand the concerns of the provincial party committee leaders. At the same time, adjusting the two main leaders of the municipal party committee can easily cause uproars in society and open some contradictions, which is something that the organization does not want to see. Moreover, from a local point of view, it is indeed not conducive to the overall situation of stability. Although Li Chen has given up his position and has become a deaf ear, in some special periods, there are still decorations that should be available.
"It's just one step away..." Liang Guizhi sighed in her heart, feeling that her official fortune in recent years was a bit unsuccessful. She lost once when she was in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. When competing for the position of deputy secretary-general, she lost to her old rival Jing Weimin. After arriving in Minjiang, she still had a trick away. She quietly operated in the provincial capital for more than half a month. In the end, she was still in vain, which made her former subordinates take the lead. This made her feel blank and always felt a little uncomfortable.
The characters in the officialdom are all slick and treacherous, and they are clear-headed. Just look at the dinner table tonight. These officials seem to prefer to curry favor with the young deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. They are a little worse for her, the immediate boss and executive vice mayor. Although the gap is extremely small and difficult to distinguish, Liang Guizhi is meticulous and sensitively detects the difference with her unique intuition of women.
In fact, this phenomenon is actually very normal. After Li Chen left, although she was responsible for the overall government, she could only decide on some small matters. Major matters still have to be discussed at the meeting. After attending the Standing Committee, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee will have a lot more say.
This is the biggest difference between the mayor and the executive vice mayor. The former is the deputy secretary and his voice in the party committee is only under the secretary of the municipal party committee. Even if the latter is strong, he must lower his attitude, otherwise it will be a manifestation of a weak organizational concept.
"Sister Liang, you seem to have something to worry about?" Zhou Yuan frowned, fell down a white chess piece, and asked quietly.
Liang Guizhi picked up the cup, took a sip, shook her head with a wry smile, and sighed: "It's nothing, I just think it's not easy for us women. It's too difficult to do something."
Zhou Yuan smiled pursed her lips, as if she had seen through Liang Guizhi's thoughts, and comforted her softly: "Sister Liang, you are already the best. What you need is not only wisdom, but also courage and a strong heart. You don't lack these, but you almost have luck, patience, and good luck will come."
"I hope this is the case!" Liang Guizhi took off her glasses and wiped it gently. After a while, she pursed her lips: "If you want to say good luck, Xiaoyu is really enviable. Since he left the inspection room, I have been paying attention to him. He investigated Zhang Yang in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and made a big fuss. Lao Yu and I were both worried about him, thinking that he was going to have a big trouble. Unexpectedly, it was smooth sailing afterwards, step by step, and now it has run to me. Thinking about it carefully, it really feels incredible."
Zhou Yuan smiled, touched the chess piece, played for a while, and hesitated: "Sister Liang, in fact, Xiaoyu must have some things besides being better luck, which we don't know. Dad once said that there was an invisible big hand behind him, pushing him quietly, and maybe even Xiaoyu himself didn't notice this."
Liang Guizhi shook her head gently, touched a black piece, landed on the upper right corner of the chessboard, and whispered: "How come I don't know? It's the Governor Meng. Many people already learned about it when they were in the General Office. Xiaoyu is really likable. When Fang Rujing was in West China, she admired him very much. After Fang Rujing left, she was valued by Governor Meng..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly became stunned, slowly raised her head, opened her eyes wide, stared at Zhou Yuan in a daze, and said in a lost voice: "Yuanyuan, what do you mean is that big hand is still on it? Oh my God, how is that possible!"
Zhou Yuan stood up, walked to the refrigerator, opened the cabinet door, took out a box of apple juice, walked back slowly, and sat down, sighed softly, "A case occurred in the province, which was very strange. Later, it alarmed the national security department. According to a very small number of officials informed the matter, it may be related to Xiaoyu. Moreover, his ex-girlfriend in Qingzhou has quietly moved to the capital and has not returned to West China for a long time."
The expression on Liang Guizhi's face became complicated, her heart beat particularly violently, and she was a little excited inexplicably. She leaned over and said, "Yuanyuan, have you ever asked?"
Zhou Yuan smiled, stroked the chess piece, picked up a piece in the upper right corner of the chessboard, and said softly: "No, since he doesn't want to say it, there must be something unspeakable. I don't want to make him unhappy."
Liang Guizhi was stunned for a while and whispered: "Yuanyuan, how did you know these things?"
Zhou Yuan sighed lightly and said softly: "Before leaving Qingzhou, my father wanted to help him deal with some things without leaving any tail. Unexpectedly, he would find these clues."
Liang Guizhi sat upright, held her glasses, and said excitedly: "Xiaoyu's promotion speed is indeed amazing. What I should have thought of is that it is too close to me. I always feel that it is too normal, but I neglected many doubts. For example, he seems to be very sure of going to the capital ministries and commissions. He once mentioned that he has a few friends in the capital and is very familiar with various departments in the capital. At that time, this guy said it was obscure, but I didn't take it to heart. Now, thinking about it, there is indeed a big trick."
Zhou Yuan nodded gently, raised her pretty face, and said sincerely: "Sister Liang, you don't have to worry anymore. Maybe the road ahead will be longer."
Liang Guizhi smiled knowingly and sighed: "I said, a few days ago, how could this bad guy suddenly say something strange? It turns out that he still has great ambitions in his heart!"
Zhou Yuan dropped a chess piece, touched the juice, and said curiously: "Sister Liang, what did he say?"
Liang Guizhi pursed her lips, wandering with her long legs, and said embarrassedly: "He said...I am his person!"
Zhou Yuan covered her mouth with her hand, laughed timidly, and said softly: "That's natural. If he forms a team in the future, he will definitely think of Sister Liang. The trust and friendship between you are the best foundation for becoming an allies."
Liang Guizhi grabbed a chess piece and scattered it on the chessboard. With a 'slap' sound, she smiled and said, "I hope, this brat has hidden it deep enough."
Zhou Yuan held her cheeks in her hands and looked at the chessboard in disgust. After a while, she said quietly: "Sister Liang, don't mention it to him. We just pretend to be confused, otherwise he will be unhappy!"
Liang Guizhi said 'um', and her heart moved. She stretched out her right hand and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulders. She said with deep emotion: "Yuanyuan, it is really his blessing to be able to make you worry so much. You two must hurry up, and they are both great. If you can get married, Sister Liang will be the witness."
"I know, it's still early, let's talk about it later." Zhou Yuan's pretty face turned slightly red, drank juice, turned around and entered the bathroom. Liang Guizhi leaned on the sofa, reached out to touch a magazine, but after she opened it, she still couldn't see it. Thinking of what the two of them had just talked about, she was shocked and full of expectations.
If, as the two expected, Wang Siyu's foundation was actually in the capital and was related to those terrible forces, then it is conceivable that her career will be improved and her future will become brighter, and even will have a profound impact on the provincial and department departments.
"Pai Pa!" A slight knock on the door sounded. Liang Guizhi suddenly realized that she threw the magazine in her hand, calmed down her throbbing mood, walked over and opened the door, but saw Su Xiaohong standing outside the door with two shopping bags, and smiled and said, "Mayor Liang, I knew you were here, and I had something good to give to you."
Liang Guizhi glanced at her, sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, it's not a costume, right?"
Su Xiaohong smiled with a pursed lips, took out two embroidered cheongsams from the shopping bag, and said softly: "I guessed it right. A few days ago, I went to the provincial capital and specially customized two cheongsams for you and Mayor Zhou. They sent the cheongsams in the afternoon. You and Mayor Zhou would try it to see if it fits?"
Liang Guizhi was slightly stunned, took a purple cheongsam, walked to the mirror and took a look, and said in surprise: "Xiaohong, how do you know the size of the clothes?"
Su Xiaohong stood with her hands behind her back and smiled respectfully: "I measured it with my eyes. I'm dissatisfied with you. My mother is a tailor and has great needlework. I have been helping in the store since I was a child, so I can be considered half a tailor."
Liang Guizhi saw that the cheongsam was exquisitely crafted and the dark red patterns were extremely unique. She loved them in her heart. She couldn't help but enter Zhou Yuan's bedroom, changed into cheongsam, walked out again, tied the bright crystal buttons, and chuckled: "After you are old and your body is distorted. It's a pity that I like this beautiful style, I like the high-necked and wishful thinking."
Su Xiaohong walked over and praised: "Mayor Liang, your current figure is better than mine. How is it going to go wrong? Look at how thin your waist is, it's just right to wear a cheongsam!"
Liang Guizhi smiled, held her glasses, turned her body, and felt that she was erect and pouting her back, with a much more graceful line. She smiled and said, "This is because she is old and pretty. When she sees beautiful clothes, she can only try them on in the room and dare not go out. Otherwise, she will definitely be scolded as a fairy."
Su Xiaohong shook her head and said, "Mayor Liang, look at what you said, this is the era of this, and it is still so conservative. You are the mayor of Minjiang. When dressing, you must naturally reflect Minjiang's unique style. In my opinion, when there are large-scale events in the future, you can wear a cheongsam to attend. It's perfect. If you feel too pretty, just wear a white sweater outside, which will definitely be elegant and luxurious."
Liang Guizhi giggled, held her glasses, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Xiaohong, you are so versatile, so come to the government office. If only our reception director could be half smart."
Su Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and said with a wry smile: "Mayor Liang, our family is also working at the reception desk now. Then the couple will be hosting, and it's time for them to gossip."
Liang Guizhi smiled faintly, hugged her clothes, walked to the sofa and sat down. She touched Zhou Yuan's black satin cheongsam. She also felt extremely exquisite and couldn't let go of her. After fiddling with her for a while, she reached out to take out her wallet, took out a stack of money, handed it over, and smiled and said, "Xiaohong, I'm so dedicated, but this gift is too expensive, we want to give you the money."
Su Xiaohong's face turned red and she hurriedly pushed and said, "Mayor Liang, how can this be done? I can't take your money."
Liang Guizhi took her hand, stuffed the money in, frowned and said, "Hold it, Xiaohong, if we don't accept this money, we will not be able to get along in the future. Don't you want us to make a mistake?"
Su Xiaohong had no choice but to collect the money and said a little depressedly: "This matter is done, it's a waste of time. Mayor Liang, you are too sensitive, just two pieces of clothes."
Liang Guizhi smiled faintly, picked up the cup, sighed, and said implicitly: "It's not many, as long as it can be determined, one piece is enough."
Su Xiaohong nodded awkwardly and said softly, "If that's the case, you should be more careful."
Liang Guizhi nodded, pointed to the bathroom, and said with a smile: "Take it for Yuanyuan. She is a real beauty. She is about to wear this cheongsam. The one who is diagonally opposite the door should be happy, why not stop talking, just be afraid of having insomnia at night!"
Su Xiaohong covered her mouth and laughed, shook her head and said, "Mayor Liang, don't tell me this in the future. Last time I accidentally said that, Secretary Wang raised his face and said that I was teasing him, and that night, I scared me to insomnia."
Liang Guizhi held up her glasses and smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? He is the softest in his heart."
"Yes, Secretary Wang is a rare good person." Su Xiaohong nodded, held the cheongsam, knocked on the bathroom door, leaned his head and said a few words, and then sent the cheongsam in.
A few minutes later, Zhou Yuan, wearing a cheongsam, pushed the door and walked out. The two of them lit up their eyes and stood up. Looking at their perfect and seductive figure and their glorious pretty faces, they opened their mouths so much that they opened their mouths.
Liang Guizhi walked over quickly and praised sincerely: "Yuanyuan, it's amazing, so beautiful, just like a fairy."
Su Xiaohong also followed, her eyes swept across her pretty and charming waist, and finally fell on Zhou Yuan's pretty face as soft as jade, and said in a daze: "Mayor Zhou is extremely beautiful, and wearing a cheongsam adds a lot of charm. I'm afraid that men will be fascinated."
Zhou Yuan smiled, turned around, bit her pink lips, looked at the pretty beauty in the glass, her eyes as gentle as water, and whispered: "Not that good, you two are really exaggerating."
Liang Guizhi felt a little ashamed, she avoided the mirror and smiled and said, "I don't want to admit it? Well, Xiaohong, go and invite Secretary Wang to see what he says!"
Zhou Yuan frowned, stamped her snow-white little feet, and said coquettishly: "Sister Liang, look at you, come to make fun of me again!"
While he was talking, a knock on the door rang, and Liang Guizhi hurriedly said, "The master is here, Xiaohong, go and open the door."
"Okay, Mayor Liang!" Su Xiaohong giggled and walked over quickly.
Zhou Yuan blushed and turned around and was about to enter the bedroom, but Liang Guizhi pulled her arms and pushed her to the door.
After Wang Siyu entered the room, he looked at the shy and timid beauty in front of him in surprise. After a while, he came to his senses, sighed lightly, and grinned, "Yuanyuan, I am so beautiful today, it seems that I escaped from a painting."
