Afternoon, 3 pm.
The air on the streets is dry, and the sun is warm.
Dong Xuebing exhaled after walking out of the Public Security Bureau. He had dodged a bullet, and it's all thanks to Xie Huilan. So, Dong Xuebing did not ask Deputy Team Leader Feng to send him off and hailed a taxi to the County Party Committee Building.
County Government Office Building.
Dong Xuebing went upstairs and knocked on a door. Knock … knock … knock …
"The door is not locked. Please come in." Secretary Hu answered.
"Sister Hu, are you busy?" Dong Xuebing opened the door and saw Hu Silian typing on the keyboard. He smiled. "Is Mayor Xie in her office? Are you free now? "
Hu Silian quickly stood up when she saw Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, you even kept me in the dark."
Dong Xuebing knows what she is talking about and smiled embarrassedly.
Dong Xuebing had never been shameless when it comes to women and relationships. Now, the whole County knows about his relationship with Sister Xie, and people misunderstand that they had slept together before getting married. This made Dong Xuebing feel embarrassed. Also, Dong Xuebing had decided to keep a low profile for the next few days. He had even driven his almost scrapped Santana, but he caused such a big commotion in less than a day. This commotion is even bigger than the time he went to Da Feng County. This is too …
Hu Silian knew Mayor Xie loves Dong Xuebing, but she did not expect them to be in such a relationship. After the Party Committee meeting ended, Hu Silian could not believe her ears and was stunned for a while.
"I was wondering why I got the position of Mayor Xie's secretary because of your recommendation. So … Xuebing, I need to thank you again." Hu Silian had thought Dong Xuebing had only recommended her to be Mayor Xie's secretary. But after knowing about Dong Xuebing and Mayor Xie's relationship, she understood Mayor Xie did not choose her because of Dong Xuebing's recommendation. She had chosen her as Mayor Xie's secretary because of Dong Xuebing. There might not be any difference between the two, but it's very different.
"How many years has it been? It's meaningless to talk about it now."
"I know you're tired of listening to it, but I still have to say it, hehe."
"Sister Hu …"
"Oh … don't call me Sister Hu. You can call me Silian or Xiao Hu when no one is around. You are dating Mayor Xie, and if you still call me Sister, I will be taking advantage of Mayor Xie. If you call me Sister Hu again, I'll be in trouble. "
"Hey, it's not that serious."
Hu Silian picked up a paper cup and poured a glass of water for Dong Xuebing. She is very polite and can no longer treat Dong Xuebing as a Bureau Chief like before. Dong Xuebing had become Mayor Xie's fiancé, the Mayor's boyfriend, and a Section Chief. It might sound ridiculous, but the former's status is much higher than the latter. One represents the Mayor and is even the same as the Mayor, while the other is only a Bureau Chief. Of course, this is not about the difference in authority. It's the difference in status and identity.
It's just the difference in status and identity. It's just like Xiang Daofa's wife. Even Secretary Cao, Cao Xupeng, has to address her politely as Sister-in-law. When Xiang Daofa's wife goes out to do something, no one in Yan Tai County will dare to reject her. Although Dong Xuebing is Xie Huilan's trusted aide in the past, everyone knows he is on Mayor Xie's faction. If Dong Xuebing wants to touch Dong Xuebing, he must consider Dong Xuebing's relationship with the Mayor. It's no different from what he looks like now.
But how can the relationship between the Mayor's wife and the Mayor's son be the same?
It's too different! There is a fundamental difference!
After sitting for a while, Dong Xuebing could not stand Hu Silian's enthusiasm. "Sister Hu, you don't have to work so hard. You had already poured me two glasses of water, and I can't drink anymore. If you continue to be so courteous with me, I will not come here again. This is boring."
Hu Silian joked. "We are secretaries, and our job is to serve our leaders. You and Mayor Xie are getting married, and I need to suck up to you."
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "Stop trying to suck up to me. Are you making fun of me?"
"Haha … Oh, Mayor Xie is in her office. She had just returned from a meeting. Are you there?"
"Alright. I will go now. Let's chat again when we are free."
Although Hu Silian wants to get closer to Dong Xuebing as it is a secretary's duty to build a good relationship with the leaders' families, she is a woman after all. It's fine if she doesn't know about Dong Xuebing and Mayor Xie's relationship in the past. Now that she knows about it, she needs to avoid certain things. Dong Xuebing's status is different now, and Hu Silian is afraid Mayor Xie will be unhappy if they stay alone in the office for too long. Dong Xuebing's status is different now, and Hu Silian needs to be careful of her image in the future.
… …
Mayor's office.
Dong Xuebing entered the office. Now, everyone knows about their relationship, and he does not need to pretend to knock on the door.
Xie Huilan, in a suit, is leaning against the window. "Haha … you are here?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "… I am here."
Xie Huilan turned around and smiled. "Why are you looking at me like that? Huh? Don't give me that look. "
In the past, Dong Xuebing felt he could do anything for Xie Huilan, but he did not think Xie Huilan would do the same for him. Sister Xie seldom shows her emotions on her face, and Dong Xuebing could not tell. But this time, Dong Xuebing knew it was not his wishful thinking. Xie Huilan was willing to risk her reputation and future to protect him. This made Dong Xuebing's chest filled with emotions.
Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Huilan and walked over to hug her gratefully. He whispered. "You are really something. You dare to say such things to others? You … what if others know you are lying and your career will be affected? I will never be able to live in peace. Sister Xie, you are too daring."
Xie Huilan laughed and pushed Dong Xuebing away. "Alright … don't give me that look."
"Let me hug you for a while more." Dong Xuebing hugged her waist. "… Ok. Thank you."
"Now, the whole County knows we are dating. Haha … you don't need to be so polite with me."
"It's all my fault for ruining your reputation. Sigh … I …"
"It's fine. We are still single, and we are not living together openly. We are only spending the night together, and no one can do anything." Xie Huilan smiled and patted Dong Xuebing's waist. "I am afraid Party Secretary Xiang will use our relationship to avoid arousing suspicion. He might also stir up trouble at the Investment Promotion Agency."
Both of them had not announced their relationship because of this.
Although they are still dating and are not married, and they are not a family, they will still cross the line. If no one says anything, Xie Huilan can continue to be the County's Mayor, and Dong Xuebing can continue to be the County's Bureau Chief. In some places, the County's Party Secretary and Bureau Chief are husband and wife. Most importantly, no one will make a fuss about this, and it will not be a problem. However, if someone with real power really brought this up and magnified it infinitely, even if it wasn't a problem, it would become a problem.
Dong Xuebing heard this and got mad. "I had just started the Investment Promotion Agency, and Xiang Daofa wants to replace his men?! This old bastard! I will teach him a lesson sooner or later! "
Xie Huilan laughed. "Secretary Xiang is not as narrow-minded as you think."
"You are still speaking up for him? Forget it. Do you think he has a bigger picture? He is not as big as me! " Dong Xuebing is still holding a grudge. "I had helped him get credit, and he did not appreciate it. But after this accident, he wants to get rid of me?! What kind of person is he?! That old bastard! Who can't tell I have nothing to do with this incident?! He is still trying to frame me with an unreliable fingerprint?! F * * k! "
"By the way, I haven't had the time to ask you. This matter … Did someone set you up?"
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Of course not. Li Hong's accident is 99% an accident. If not, why would that person push Li Hong under a car and let her die? Someone will see him, and how can he frame me? He can't even protect himself. Err … I had sneaked into Lui Dafa's house to find evidence of his corruption, and I had touched almost everything in his house. It's a coincidence that Li Hong was carrying that bag when the accident happened. Hmmm … that's not right. Even if she was carrying other bags, my fingerprints should be on them. "
Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "You went to his house to collect evidence?! Have you learned your lesson?! "
"… Yes."
But Dong Xuebing did not stop using STOP to sneak into other people's houses in the future. He learned that he must wear gloves to prevent his fingerprints from being used again.
They chatted for a few minutes.
Xie Huilan pushed Dong Xuebing slowly. "Alright. Stop hugging me. I am sweating. Haha …"
"Let's hug again."
After being pushed away, Dong Xuebing continued to hug Xie Huilan. If Sister Xie had not returned in time and used her reputation to prove his innocence, Dong Xuebing might still be in jail. Anyway, he will surely lose his position. That's why he can't express his gratitude to Xie Huilan. He felt his feelings for Xie Huilan had deepened.
"You're not done, are you? It's been more than ten minutes, and you still want to hug me? "
"I can't hug you enough even if I hug you for the rest of my life."
"You … haha …"
