"Ok. Let's go."
"Chief, what are you looking at?" Wang Yuling asked while dancing.
"Not even once?"
It was cooler in the morning.
No wonder everyone calls Geng Yuehua the Black Faced Mayor. She is so cold outside of work!
Zhou Yanru laughed. "She is fine. She keeps mentioning Uncle Dong to us every day. Haha."
Wang Yuling couldn't hold it in any longer. She had a good relationship with Zhou Yanru, so the moment they sat down, they started chatting about women. Dong Xuebing and Zhou Meimei looked at each other and smiled. They each gave a cigarette to each other and started chatting.
Wang Yuling laughed. "You don't know? Mayor Yuehua has never danced. She has been in Nanshan District for seven or eight years, and she has never danced once. I'm not sure if she doesn't know how to dance or something. Anyway, I don't know when, but no one dared to invite her anymore. Mayor Yuehua declined every time. Even if she invited her, it would be embarrassing. "
Dong Xuebing sat in the Guangming Street Office Secretary's office. He quickly finished his work and stared out of the window in a daze. After he repaired his car and returned to Nanshan District with Geng Yuehua, Dong Xuebing fell asleep on the sofa when he reached home. When he woke up, he was distracted. He kept thinking about Mayor Yuehua.
Dong Xuebing moved aside. "Don't stand there. Have a seat."
"Do you have the time?! Settle your office's work first! "Beep … beep … beep … Dong Xuebing hung up.
Wang Yuling blushed. "No … there is a ball tonight. I want to see if I can be your dance partner. You are so popular, and I am afraid someone will snatch you from me. That's why I want to make an appointment with you."
Outside, waves of familiar faces walked in one after another. There were cadres from the Cultural Bureau, leaders from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and people in charge of the street office. Some came alone, and some brought their families. It was quite lively.
Wang Yuling had noticed it a long time ago. The rest of the leaders were chatting happily, but no one came to their table. Some of the leaders only greeted Wang Yuling from afar or nodded at her. Obviously, they do not want to have anything to do with Dong Xuebing. They even ignored Wang Yuling, the District Party Secretary's niece. This showed how much the leaders thought of Dong Xuebing.
"Mayor Geng."
Many people walked onto the dance floor and danced with their partners.
Dong Xuebing nodded and hugged her waist. "How come no one invited Mayor Geng?" Geng Yuehua should be the first to dance. Why did he just jump over?
Monday.
Dong Xuebing did not think much of it and continued walking forward.
Dong Xuebing joked. "Tonight? Haha, what's wrong? You want to treat me to dinner? Are you not afraid your boyfriend will get jealous? "
Dong Xuebing and Wang Yuling turned around and saw Zhou Yanru and her husband.
Wang Yuling blinked and giggled. "Chief, are you free tonight?"
"No." Wang Yuling laughed drily and looked around.
Ten minutes passed.
"Haha, alright."
Dong Xuebing laughed and pointed his chin. "Yuling, you should not have asked me to be your dance partner today. Look, everyone is avoiding us."
"Yuling, come in." Dong Xuebing said politely. "How is Secretary An Shi?"
Secretary Ma Li said something to Geng Yuehua, and she waved her hand.
Dong Xuebing held Wang Yuling's hand and entered the dance floor. But his eyes were not on the dance floor. He secretly looked at Mayor Geng Yuehua to see if she is looking at him. Dong Xuebing smiled bitterly. Geng Yuehua was sitting in front of a long table without any expression. She was sipping on her drink and did not even look at Dong Xuebing.
"No. I had just arrived. Shall we go in?"
Dong Xuebing put down his phone helplessly. What's wrong with her attitude?
After listening to Wang Yuling about the ball, Dong Xuebing understood that Nanshan District is also having a ball like Yan Tai County. But Yan Tai County's Xiang Daofa is a fan of this ball and will attend it once a week. But Nanshan District only has a ball once a month for the middle-level leaders. It's fine if the leaders don't attend, but the District Party Secretary and Mayor will attend one of the balls. This is a good opportunity to get to know the leaders. After all, it's a leisure time outside of work. But this time, the District Party Secretary Wang Anshi is sick, and Mayor Yuehua will be attending the ball.
"She is helping her son with his homework and is not here."
"Hello, Mayor Yuehua. I'm Xiao Dong."
Dong Xuebing thought too much.
He had agreed to Wang Yuling's invitation because he did not treat Wang Anshi when he was sick. Dong Xuebing felt there is a grudge between him and Wang Yuling. It's not a big grudge, but he cannot ignore it. This is a good opportunity to ease the tension between them. Secondly, Dong Xuebing had been ostracized by most of the leaders in Nanshan District, and he needs to check on the situation. Thirdly, Mayor Yuehua wants to see what Dong Xuebing thinks.
The leaders who are close to Dong Xuebing greeted him. But when they saw Dong Xuebing walking towards them, they turned and walked away. Some pretended not to see him and continued chatting. Now, everyone in Nanshan District knows Dong Xuebing had offended Wang Anshi and Geng Yuehua. That's why no one dares to chat with Dong Xuebing in private. They are afraid of getting into trouble. That's why no one dares to chat with Dong Xuebing in private. They are afraid of getting into trouble.
"Is Mayor Yuehua here?"
"Not even once."
"Chief, Yuling." A woman's voice came from behind.
Ma Li got a microphone and helped Geng Yuehua announce the start of the ball. Mayor Yuehua seldom says anything during such occasions.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "So early? Did you wait long? "
"It's not that … err … I am just worried about you. If you are bitten by a snake, it's my fault. So … "
"Oh, it's nothing. Ahem, I just wanted to ask if the injury on your leg is better. It's still inflamed. "
Geng Yuehua replied. "What is it?"
Wang Yuling closed the door and said. "The wound is not healing well, but it's much better than a few days ago. His condition should have stabilized."
As soon as the door opened, the first thing that greeted him was the smell of air conditioning. It was chilly, followed by the lively crowd and melodious music. The ball had not started, and the leaders had not arrived yet. Dong Xuebing and Wang Yuling found a corner to sit down and chat. Executive Deputy District Chief Shen Fei, Investment Promotion Agency Chief Pan Zhengyi, Ping An Street Office Director Chu Qinghua. Dong Xuebing saw many familiar faces.
"Eh, Old Chen, did you come with Sister-in-law?"
Dong Xuebing adjusted his mood and drove to the District Party Committee Hostel's ballroom.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and agreed. "Ok. What time is it tonight?"
"7.30 pm." Wang Yuling laughed. "That's settled. I will wait for you tonight."
"I had just gone in and did not see her."
Around 7 pm.
Dong Xuebing looks up. "Come in."
Dong Xuebing called Geng Yuehua, and the line got through.
Wang Yuling smiled. "Sister Yanru, you are here?"
Dong Xuebing smiled and did not say anything.
"Good." Dong Xuebing nodded. "Oh, is anything the matter?"
"Oh, I see."
"Chief!" Wang Yuling, who was wearing a yellow floral dress, waved at Dong Xuebing. "You are here?"
Her voice turned cold. "Don't you think you are a busybody?"
Knock … knock … someone knocked on the door.
"Don't mention it." Dong Xuebing asked. "How is Cheng Cheng recently?"
A beautiful figure walked in from the door. It was Geng Yuehua. She was dressed a little more casually than usual today. She was wearing a white shirt with lace, light brown casual pants, nude stockings, and black high heels. She looked neat and her steps were also very powerful.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. I am still popular? Nonsense! Now, people are trying to avoid me!
Finally, at 7.30 pm, the ballroom became quiet.
Hmmm … I should make a call.
He thought about it for a whole day, but he still couldn't understand Geng Yuehua's mentality. She went to bed with him in a daze, and after that, she acted as if nothing had happened. She changed her mind and returned to their original relationship. What did she mean? If you want to say that we will not see each other anymore, then you should give me a straight answer. You can just say that last night was a misunderstanding and nothing happened. I will understand. But you? You don't say anything and don't mention anything. How am I supposed to figure it out? I don't even understand. You are just making things difficult for me! Dong Xuebing is a sensitive person. The more he cannot understand something, the more he must think about it. If not, he will not be able to sleep.
Dong Xuebing stood up politely and nodded to Zhou Yiran. He shook hands with Zhou Yiran's husband. "You are here? Let's sit together. "
Zhou Yanru's rank was not high enough to attend this kind of ball. But not every Nanshan district's leaders will attend, and there are not many people attending. That's why the boundaries of the ball are not clear.
"Go ahead. See you tonight."
The music started.
Dong Xuebing and the rest stopped talking and turned to look.
"Mayor Yuehua."
Wang Yuling, the deputy director of the office, walked in and greeted with a smile, "Director."
… …
Zhou Yiran's husband looks older than Zhou Yanru. He was wearing spectacles and immediately shook Dong Xuebing's hand. "Director Dong, I did not have the chance to thank you. I am really grateful to you for helping my daughter go to school."
"Hahaha … where is your wife? How come I don't see her? "
