After chatting with Shang Yao for a while, Xiao Zheng got up and left.
As soon as he left, Yu Ping put down her glass and quickly left with Xiao Zheng.
If it was before, she would still pay attention to her image and keep a distance from Xiao Zheng. But after tonight's series of incidents, there was no need for her to deliberately keep a distance from Xiao Zheng. She didn't dare to.
She had already offended Yen Teng-kuei. If she didn't cling to Xiao Zheng as her backer. How would she survive in the future?
Be it her colleagues or her superiors. How many of them would care about her own work ability? Even if they did, it would only be a supplementary condition.
Did she offend anyone, did she have any big enemies. And did she have a strong enough backer. These were the prerequisites for the superiors to promote her, or to put her in the cold palace.
From this moment on, Yu Ping must be labeled as Xiao Zheng's confidant. Otherwise, she was afraid that her career would be ruined.
Conversely, she would be labeled as Xiao Zheng's confidant. Her future path would be unobstructed.
She remembered that Xiao Zheng had said that when Yu Fei took office, he would transfer her to Yu Fei's side to be his right-hand man. To Yu Ping, this was definitely a disguised promotion.
After all, Yu Fei had always been working in a first-class unit in the system. As for her, she was just a second-class marginal unit. Be it in terms of salary, power or status, they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
To give a simple example, the Household Registration Department and the Criminal Investigation Department were both units in the police force, but could they be the same?
Yu Ping carefully followed behind Xiao Zheng, not daring to breathe too loudly. The pure respect in her eyes had also changed to fear.
They were filled with respect and fear.
This Boss Xiao, perhaps this was the real Boss Xiao?
It was fine if he didn't get angry, but when he did, he even beat Chang Yishan!
Ignorance was bliss. Only when one did not know the pros and cons, would they be fearless. When she truly understood Xiao Zheng's methods, she no longer had second thoughts.
"Do you have a car?" Xiao Zheng asked casually. He took a deep breath of fresh air.
"I hitched a ride with Chief Yu …" Yu Ping explained blankly. Then he quickly raised his head and said. "It's very convenient to take a taxi here. Boss Xiao, I'll go first —"
"I'll send you back. It's not safe to drive at night. "Xiao Zheng waved his hand to interrupt Yu Ping and calmly got into the car.
Yu Ping was flattered, but her heart was in a mess.
But how could she defy Boss Xiao?
She had no choice but to carefully sit in the front passenger seat.
This was the etiquette of a car. It was also a basic respect for Xiao Zheng. Sitting in the back seat, she suspected that Xiao Zheng was the chauffeur. She didn't dare.
After asking for the address, Xiao Zheng drove to the neighborhood where Yu Ping lived. Although it wasn't in the same direction as where Xiao Zheng lived, it was only a detour that wasn't too far away.
On the way, Xiao Zheng had too many thoughts in his mind. He didn't take the initiative to speak and just focused on driving. When he stopped at a red light. He found that Yu Ping was very stiff in the front passenger seat. Her expression was quite tense, as if she was very anxious and fearful …
Xiao Zheng was startled at first. Then he took a bottle of mineral water from the back seat and handed it to her. He smiled and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Ah?" Yu Ping's delicate body slightly tightened, and the arm that took the mineral water was also slightly trembling. Then she shook her head and explained. "I just —"
"No need to explain," Xiao Zheng said in a relaxed mood. "It's normal for you to be afraid of me. After all, I just hit someone in front of you. "
Yu Ping was speechless for a moment. She didn't know what to say.
"Drink some water to sober up." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I saw that you drank a lot just now."
"Yes, thank you, Boss Xiao." Yu Ping twisted the bottle cap and gulped down a big mouthful of water. It reflected the nervousness and uneasiness in his heart.
"Do you want to listen to music?" Xiao Zheng, who was out of deep thought, saw that Yu Ping was a little nervous and uneasy. Maybe playing some music could relieve her nervousness.
"Yes. I will. "Yu Ping nodded. After a few words of concern from Xiao Zheng, the atmosphere slowly returned to normal.
At this moment, when she looked at Xiao Zheng's gentle face again, it seemed to be very precious. It was not like before, when she thought that Xiao Zheng was always like this.
Xiao Zheng turned on the music radio and it was playing a Cantonese song. The melody was soothing and catchy. Xiao Zheng had heard of this song before, and he also knew that this was a singer who was once very popular.
"If I can laugh, I won't cry. But when I find a confidant, I won't be lonely. But I've never met her. Ask me, how can it end with my footprints all over my body … "
Music doesn't discriminate between countries, and it can change the atmosphere. When people die, they play mourning music. When people get married, they play marching music. It's a way to catalyze the atmosphere.
Inside the car, Yu Ping quietly listened to this rather sad love song. She had a lot of thoughts.
She wanted to be successful. But she came to Yan Jin alone to work. She didn't have any background. Although she had some work ability, she was often excluded in the workplace. She wasted a few years, but was never put in an important position.
If she hadn't met Xiao Zheng, she might not have been able to make it to the deputy division chief even until she retired. But it was different now. She was going to work under Yu Fei. And from what Xiao Zheng implied, it was very likely that Yu Fei would be promoted to the deputy division chief in the near future. In that case, her next promotion would probably be within reach.
Such a turning point in her life was something that Yu Ping had never even dreamed of. In her opinion, there would only be one or two opportunities in her life to be a middle-level officer in the system. Yes, a deputy division chief. She could bring glory to her family and fulfill her father's dream of being a deputy division chief in a street police station for half of his life.
But now, in the foreseeable future … A division chief was no longer the end of her life. Being a division chief was not a pipe dream.
And all of this was given to her by the man sitting next to her.
For a moment, her heart was slightly moved. Perhaps it was mixed with the intention of repaying a debt of gratitude, or perhaps it was just the spontaneous blind worship of a powerful man.
In front of a powerful man, it was very normal for some of the opposite sex to kneel down in admiration.
Humans were profit-seeking animals. No one would refuse to be close to a powerful man.
"Yu Fei is not bad. He is capable and has a fast reaction. After this incident, Minister Jin will strongly promote him. His future is limitless. "
In the car, the atmosphere gradually became subtle. Xiao Zheng Smile and said, "Besides being from the same hometown, you two are also a couple, right? You two are also a couple, right? "
Yu Ping, who let the rippling emotions flow in her heart, was shocked when she heard this. She came to her senses and said, "I don't think so."
She suddenly felt awkward, lost, and melancholy. She was a woman and could keenly sense the subtle changes in the atmosphere. She also heard the implication of Xiao Zheng's words.
Was it a reminder? Or a silent refusal?
Yes.
What kind of person was Boss Xiao? Why would he be interested in a nobody like her? In terms of figure and appearance, Yu Ping might not be bad in the eyes of ordinary people. But compared with those rich ladies, she was inevitably overshadowed and had no advantage.
She laughed at herself in her heart. Yu Ping, Yu Ping, a few glasses of red wine can make you dizzy. Don't you know the immensity of heaven and earth? How dare you have the idea of hitting on Boss Xiao?
She quickly dispelled those unrealistic fantasies and steadied her mind. She thought to herself, Yu Fei treats me well. Just as Boss Xiao said, my future is limitless. Usually, he treats me well too. Maybe being with him is the best choice, right?
Be practical and rational. For a mediocre person like me, living together is not entirely for love. It is a decision made after all parties weigh the pros and cons. Why should I be infatuated and overestimate myself?
