Li Shu-man stood on the balcony and looked at the twinkling lights in the distance. He smiled and said, "Xiao Yu is very sensible. Her teachers and classmates all like her. She has been practicing dancing hard recently. There will be a performance at her school soon. She hopes to win first place."
He was full of love when he talked about children. Lu Yiwei lit a cigarette and said, "When is Xiao Yu's performance?"
"The 3rd of next month."
"Okay. Remind me when the time comes. I will definitely go!" Lu Yiwei said firmly.
Li Shu-man could not hide his excitement when he thought about seeing Lu Yiwei again. He quickly nodded and said, "Okay. I will let you know when the time comes."
After talking about children, the two suddenly had nothing to talk about. After a moment of silence, Lu Yiwei said, "What about you? How are you doing? "
Li Shu-man lowered his head and smiled. Only he knew the bitterness in his heart, but he still said, "I'm fine. By the way, Lingling came here twice. Every time, she bought a lot of things and beautiful clothes for Xiao Yu. It's such a waste … "
The two unconsciously brought the topic back to the children. However, no matter how much they talked, they could not find the right topic. There seemed to be an invisible wall. He was on one side, and she was on the other. They could not look at each other, but they still cared about each other …
The call was finally hung up after he had nothing else to say. Lu Yiwei stood up shakily and walked into the bedroom. He threw himself on the bed and sniffed the remaining smell. Although it had long been replaced by dust, their unforgettable love would always stay in each other's harbor. Tonight, he decided to sleep in the bedroom. This was the first time he slept in the bedroom after the divorce. Most of the time, he chose the sofa in the living room.
It had been six years. It took him six years to walk from the living room to the bedroom. Apart from bitterness, it was also warmth …
"Ring ring ring …" Early in the morning, the phone rang and woke up Lu Yiwei who was sleeping soundly. Lu Yiwei stretched out his arm lazily, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and answered it. Before he could speak, he was woken up by Ma Feifei's ear-piercing scream.
"Hey! Lu Yiwei, hurry up and come over here! "Ma Feifei was still panicking and screaming on the other side of the phone.
Lu Yiwei didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat up and asked, "Secretary Ma, what happened?"
"Don't worry about it. Hurry up and come here!" Ma Feifei said angrily.
"Okay. I will go now." Lu Yiwei did not dare to be careless when he heard Ma Feifei's tone. He quickly got up and washed up before driving to the Standing Committee Building.
"Secretary Ma, what happened?" Lu Yiwei knocked on the door and asked.
Ma Feifei was wearing pink pajamas. She looked like she had just woken up. She was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed and was glaring at Lu Yiwei.
Ma Feifei suddenly stood up and said to Lu Yiwei, "Come in!" Then she entered the bedroom.
Lu Yiwei changed into his slippers and went in. Ma Feifei pointed at the bedsheet and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Yiwei looked at it carefully but did not find anything wrong. He asked, "Secretary Ma, this …"
"Look again!"
Lu Yiwei scanned the room again like a radar. He still did not find anything. He shook his head and said, "Secretary Ma, I am stupid. I did not find anything."
Ma Feifei picked up a strand of hair from the bedsheet and showed it to Lu Yiwei. "Explain to me. Where did this strand of hair come from?"
Lu Yiwei saw through the sunlight that Ma Feifei was holding a strand of hair that was invisible to the naked eye. He looked carefully and saw that the strand of hair was thin and curved. The ends of the hair were brown and slightly dry. He looked at Ma Feifei's hairstyle. It should be similar to his. He asked, "Secretary Ma, is this your hair?"
"No! Definitely not! " Ma Feifei's tone was firm. She said with certainty, "Look carefully. My hair is not so curly, nor is it so dry. Tell me the truth. Did someone else use this bedsheet? Or did someone else live here before I came here? "
Lu Yiwei did not know what to say in the face of Ma Feifei's nervousness. He could only explain patiently. "Secretary Ma, you can rest assured that the bedsheet is brand new. No one has lived here before. If it is not your hair, it might be left behind by the cleaning staff. Should I call the staff?"
Hearing Lu Yiwei's words, Ma Feifei's agitated emotions calmed down. She did not say or scream. In order to prove his innocence, Lu Yiwei turned around and was about to call the staff. Ma Feifei stopped him. "Forget it!" After that, she threw the strand of hair into the trash can. She washed her hands with soap several times before she was relieved.
Lu Yiwei felt that Ma Feifei was making a big fuss, but it was more of a joke. She called him all the way here early in the morning for an unknown strand of hair. He was speechless.
After Ma Feifei washed her hands, she locked the bathroom door and washed her face. Lu Yiwei stood alone in the living room. He did not know whether to leave or stay. It was really uncomfortable. In the end, he could not stand it anymore. He stood at the bathroom door and said, "Secretary Ma, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait!"
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Ma Feifei finally came out of the bathroom. After coming out, she did not say anything to Lu Yiwei. She went straight to the bedroom and locked the door. After another 10 minutes, Ma Feifei came out neatly dressed. She said to Lu Yiwei, "Come and have breakfast with me."
Lu Yiwei was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. She was torturing him so early in the morning. He did not know what to do with her in the future. However, Ma Feifei was a new leader after all. Lu Yiwei could only bear with it and accompanied Ma Feifei to the dining room on the first floor.
When they arrived at the dining room, Zhang Zhiyuan happened to be eating too. After seeing Ma Feifei and Lu Yiwei, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. He quickly recovered and greeted them warmly, "Secretary Ma, come and sit here!"
Ma Feifei walked to Zhang Zhiyuan's table and put her handbag on a chair. She smiled and said, "Secretary Zhang, you woke up early."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Hehe. What about you? How was your rest last night? "
"Pretty good!" Ma Feifei behaved normally in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.
"That's good!" Zhang Zhiyuan turned around and said to Lu Yiwei, "Serve Secretary Ma some food. You come and eat with us."
During the meal, Lu Yiwei remained silent while Zhang Zhiyuan chatted with Ma Feifei. The two of them seemed to have a common language. They chatted for more than half an hour. If they were not at work, they might not even have enough time to chat for another day. Lu Yiwei, the third wheel, was redundant.
At 8: 10 am, Ma Feifei took Zhang Zhiyuan's car to the County party committee's compound. Before she went upstairs, she did not forget to remind Zhang Zhiyuan, "Secretary Ma, we have a meeting later."
"Alright, I'll be there later!" Ma Feifei smiled and said.
Lu Yiwei accompanied Zhang Zhiyuan into the office. He made tea for him and did a series of preparations. Zhang Zhiyuan first glanced at the documents and newspapers on his desk and asked, "Has County Yang arrived?"
Lu Yiwei said, "I just called Director Zhang and said that County Yang is still on the way. They will arrive in about half an hour."
"Okay!" Zhang Zhiyuan said as he flipped through the documents.
After a series of work was done, Lu Yiwei left and went to his office. Before he even sat down, Ma Feifei shouted loudly in the corridor. "Lu Yiwei, Lu Yiwei …"
Lu Yiwei's eyes drooped and sat on the chair in pain. He had enough of this "female devil". But Ma Feifei was still shouting again and again. He had no choice but to get up and walk out.
"Come here for a moment!" Ma Feifei waved her hand.
Lu Yiwei guessed that this neurotic woman must have noticed something wrong again. After entering the door, Ma Feifei did not wait for him to speak and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you will introduce me to a secretary? Where is she? "
Lu Yiwei's heart skipped a beat. He had drunk too much last night and had forgotten all about it. But he could not say that he had forgotten and immediately said. "She is on her way."
"Stop dilly-dallying. Ask her to come quickly!" Ma Feifei said with a fierce expression. She did not look like a woman in her 30s at all.
When Lu Yiwei walked out, he quickly called Shi Xiaoman, but she did not pick up. He called her several times before she finally picked up.
Lu Yiwei did not ask for the reason and said directly. "Come to the County party committee office now."
Ten minutes later, Shi Xiaoman arrived at the County party committee office panting. Lu Yiwei stood in the corridor and waited for Shi Xiaoman in the corridor. He brought her to his office first and said, "Mayor Shi, this is an urgent matter, and I did not inform you in advance. As you know, the County party committee's Deputy Secretary needs a female secretary, and I recommended you. Now, Secretary Ma wants to see you. No matter what he asks, you must agree to it first and show him your best side. Do you understand? "
Lu Yiwei rambled on for a long time, but Shi Xiaoman didn't seem to be fully awake. She listened in a daze and asked, "What? Say it again! "
After Lu Yiwei repeated himself, Shi Xiaoman finally understood and quickly waved her hand. "Yiwei, you are forcing me to do something beyond my abilities. How can I be a secretary? No, no! No way. "
Lu Yiwei said. "Xiaoman, it is not up to you now. Secretary Ma has taken a liking to you, and you will not let go of this opportunity easily. Whether you are willing or not, you must go in and see him first, okay? "
Shi Xiaoman still could not believe it. She was pushed by Lu Yiwei into Ma Feifei's office shyly.
This morning's meeting was more important. Lu Yiwei found the meeting minutes book and called the government several times to urge them to do it. But this County Yang was too arrogant. It was already past the appointed time, but she was still nowhere to be seen. Was there really something going on, or was she doing this on purpose?
