His marriage with Yao Na was a coincidence. Yao Na was assigned to the Urban Construction Bureau after she graduated from university. Some hoodlums on the streets took a fancy to Yao Na and teased her on her way to work every day. Yao Na wasn't a pushover either. She was afraid at first, but she couldn't take it anymore and beat Liu Dongsheng up. Just like that, the two of them formed an indissoluble bond.
Unknowingly, their relationship was made public. Yao Na's parents firmly opposed this marriage, and threatened that if Yao Na married him, they would die. Yao Na also had a fiery temper. As long as she set her sights on someone, she wouldn't let it go. When Yao Na got married, her parents didn't attend and even broke off their relationship. It was only after Liu Dongsheng got married that her parents changed their attitude.
Hence, Yao Na sacrificed a lot for Liu Dongsheng, but she never regretted it. Liu Dongsheng was deeply moved by Yao Na's heroic deeds. At that time, he vowed to treat Yao Na well. All these years, Liu Dongsheng kept his promise and was obedient to Yao Na. He even earned the title of henpecked husband. But he didn't care. As long as his family was harmonious, he didn't care about what they said!
Liu Dongsheng flipped over and nearly fell on the ground. Xia Jinhe, who was beside him, burst into laughter. She was amused by Liu Dongsheng's cute appearance.
Liu Dongsheng said in a daze, "I can't even sleep in peace." He picked up his clothes and walked upstairs. When he opened his eyes and saw Xia Jinhe, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stood there in a daze, unable to move. He was completely smitten by Xia Jinhe's beauty.
Xia Jinhe immediately dodged Liu Dongsheng's lecherous gaze and hid behind Lu Yiwei. Only then did Liu Dongsheng notice that there was someone else in the house.
"Oh! It's Brother Lu. " Liu Dongsheng immediately sobered up and pulled Lu Yiwei to sit on the sofa. He squeezed a smile on his face. "I was wondering why there were magpies chirping at the door in the morning. So there's a guest. Haha … Come and smoke!"
Lu Yiwei and Liu Dongsheng only knew each other. They didn't have much contact, but they knew each other's background. Lu Yiwei took the cigarette and lit it. "Director Liu, did you drink too much in the afternoon?"
"Director Lu, don't laugh at me. What Factory Manager Liu? You can just call me Dongsheng or Fatty Liu. Either is fine. Haha!" Liu Dongsheng was very generous. He was very generous.
Lu Yiwei said, "I'll just call you Brother Liu."
"Haha, up to you!" Liu Dongsheng raised his head and stared at Xia Jinhe. "Is this your sister-in-law?" It was also Xia Jinhe's first time visiting Yao Na's house. Liu Dongsheng had only heard of him before, but he had never seen him before.
Yao Na immediately came over and said, "Yes! Dongsheng, let me introduce you. This is Xia Jinhe, the one I often mentioned to you before, the one studying in the United States. Now she's dating Lu Yiwei, hehe. "
Yao Na's joke made the two even more embarrassed, but neither of them stood out to defend themselves.
"Ah? This is the Professor Xia you were talking about. Oh my! She's so beautiful! "Liu Dongsheng's eyes immediately widened, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
Seeing Liu Dongsheng's reaction, Yao Na pinched his waist fiercely. The pain made Liu Dongsheng's face severely twisted. Xia Jinhe was very envious of the two of them being so affectionate.
They chatted for the whole afternoon, and it was already dark. Xia Jinhe insisted on going home. In the end, Lu Yiwei offered to send her home. Xia Jinhe was bashful for a while, but she still agreed.
Guchuan County and Nanyang County were next to each other, and it took less than an hour's drive to get there. Lu Yiwei sent Xia Jinhe to her house. Out of courtesy, Xia Jinhe invited Lu Yiwei to her house for a while. Lu Yiwei thought about it and gave up. He said, "It's the New Year, and I didn't bring anything with me. It doesn't look good empty-handed. I'll pay you a visit another day."
Xia Jinhe did not insist and said, "That's fine. Drive slowly on the road." Then, they looked at each other affectionately, their eyes full of affection.
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei nodded his head. "You should rest early too. It's cold outside. Go in. "
The cold and elegant Xia Jinhe showed her feminine side and said, "I'm not cold. I'll go in after you leave."
Lu Yiwei looked at Xia Jinhe's shy and blushing face and really wanted to go forward and give her a hug. However, his rationality won over his inner demons. He opened the car door, stepped in, lit the car, rolled down the window, and drove away with another affectionate smile.
Xia Jinhe was completely defeated by Lu Yiwei. She stood there for a long time and refused to leave.
When Yao Na arranged a blind date for her, she refused no matter what. She couldn't stand Yao Na's coaxing and pestering, so she finally agreed. She was glad now. If she didn't meet Lu Yiwei at that time, she might have missed a good man. Her cold heart finally melted. She began to walk out of the painful relationship and took the initiative to accept this charming Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei suddenly stopped the car and waved to Xia Jinhe in the distance. Then, he drove away.
The night was quiet, the snow was running, and the sky was still dark. Deep love, stopping, and nostalgia. A beautiful love began …
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the administrative department officially started work. According to the usual practice, the leaders of the county would visit the department or their own system for the New Year. But this year, Liu Kecheng was different. On the first day of work, he officially announced the appointment and dismissal notice of the standing committee, which made everyone anxious.
The discussion about Lu Yiwei at the standing committee had already spread. Everyone was talking about it after work. In the end, the conclusion was that Liu Kecheng still had the final say in Nanyang County.
Lu Yiwei didn't care. He went to work as usual and didn't care what others said. Zhang Zhiyuan also heard some rumors, which were not good for him. In the first government standing committee meeting in 2000, he let Lu Yiwei attend, which was quite provocative.
Fighting in the open and fighting in the dark, this eternal topic continued. The tense atmosphere still filled the sky of Nanyang. Li Qinkui, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, came to Nanyang County to support Liu Kecheng.
In the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Qinkui, the member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, arrived in Nanyang County. The officialdom was very particular about rules. Every move had to be made after careful consideration. It was definitely not done rashly. The position of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was very sensitive. He was like the shadow of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. Usually, he went to a place with a task. But this time, what was Li Qinkui doing?
Liu Kecheng received Li Qinkui according to the standard of receiving the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, which made Li Qinkui very satisfied. Zhang Zhiyuan only found out after Li Qinkui arrived in Nanyang County. He hurried to the Nanyang Guest House, but the door was closed.
Dong Guoping, the director of the County Party Committee, entered the door and whispered to Liu Kecheng that Zhang Zhiyuan had arrived. He asked if he should let him in. He didn't expect that Li Qinkui had already heard it. He said expressionlessly, "Ask Zhiyuan to wait outside. I have something to discuss with Secretary Liu." He waited for more than an hour.
Zhang Zhiyuan was smoking in the lounge next door. He was thinking about the purpose of Li Qinkui's visit, which was unpredictable. In the guest house next door, Li Qinkui and Liu Kecheng were chatting enthusiastically.
Liu Kecheng and Li Qinkui were old acquaintances, so they talked more casually. He said, "Didn't Secretary Tian say that he would come in person? What's wrong?"
Li Qinkui said, "Secretary Tian can't come because of something, so I will go first. He will come in two days to participate in your three-level staff meeting."
Liu Kecheng was instantly excited. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's great. Brother Qinkui, you need to put in a few good words for Secretary Tian."
"Of course!" Li Qinkui crossed his legs and said, "Although Secretary Tian didn't come, he asked me to pass a few words to you. Kecheng, Secretary Tian is really good to you."
Liu Kecheng immediately nodded his head. "Secretary Tian is my second parent and mentor. I will remember him in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, I will be grateful to him. If it wasn't for him, I, Liu Kecheng, wouldn't be who I am today."
When Li Qinkui heard Liu Kecheng's flattery, he felt disgusted in his heart. But he still said, "Secretary Tian has spent a lot of effort on you. Otherwise, your position as the County party committee's Secretary would have changed a long time ago. It's a pity that there are vile people in the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, you would be a Deputy Mayor, or at least a Deputy Director."
Li Qinkui's words poked at Liu Kecheng's soft spot. He sighed and said, "I know that Secretary Tian has been working hard for me. I can't blame myself for not being able to share his burdens. I'm really worthy of the responsibility."
"That's not your fault!" Li Qinkui turned around and said, "Kecheng, some things are two-sided. Just like the five elements of Yin and Yang, metal restrains wood, and wood restrains earth. They are all intertwined. Nothing can stand alone. He might have the upper hand today, but he won't always be ahead. Don't you think so?"
Liu Kecheng did not know whether Li Qinkui was referring to him specifically or in general. He said, "Yes, Secretary General Li, you're right!"
Li Qinkui ignored Liu Kecheng and said, "Nowadays, some people don't pay attention to the way they do things. They don't have a sense of propriety when they speak. It's as if Bei Zhou City won't move without him. The world of the party country will still be the same without anyone!"
Liu Kecheng could tell that Li Qinkui was alluding to the Municipal Party Committee's Deputy Secretary, Guo Jinzhu. Guo Jinzhu was a soldier. He had been out of the military for many years, and his hair was almost gone. But he still maintained the military's style. He did things immediately, and his words were loaded with guns. He often bypassed Tian Chunqiu and intervened in party affairs and government affairs. Although Tian Chunqiu was unhappy, he could not afford to offend a country bumpkin who was a soldier. Moreover, there was an "accomplice," Hou Yongzhi, who was also his comrade, so he could only turn a blind eye to it.
