Yang Hong was in a good mood, especially when she thought of Kang Jicheng's face that had turned the color of a pig's liver in the afternoon. Yang Hong's pores opened up and she felt like she was floating. She had never felt so happy before. This was Yang Hong's only thought. In the officialdom where one had to be careful and careful, Yang Hong had always been cautious. Her falling out with Kang Jicheng this afternoon was an explosion of all the unhappiness that she had been suppressing for a long time. Once she vented her emotions, she naturally felt extremely carefree. Yang Hong even had the illusion that she had become much younger. As for Kang Jicheng, after being scolded by her this afternoon, he could only leave with his tail between his legs.
There was no other reason. In the afternoon, Chen Xing suddenly came to the Ministry of Education for research and guidance. Kang Jicheng, who was glaring at Yang Hong, heard the news and left with a belly full of anger. Although he wondered why Chen Xing would come to inspect at this time, Kang Jicheng did not want to stay. The two of them belonged to different places. Although he was from the Provincial Department and Chen Xing could not control him, Chen Xing was the mayor. His rank and status were both higher than his. If he stayed to inspect, he would only be a foil. Kang Jicheng did not want to be a green leaf among the red flowers and green leaves. Moreover, if he met Chen Xing, Ma Chaoan said that he also happened to come to the Municipal Bureau for research and guidance. But who had ever seen a deputy director doing research without a follower?
It was obvious that there was something fishy about this. Although Kang Jicheng believed that Chen Xing would not be so bored as to ask questions, he did not want to stay and let others suspect anything.
You didn't even see the look on that old bastard Kang Jicheng's face. Haha, this is great, this is great. Yang Hong sat opposite Chen Xing. As she recounted the scene before Chen Xing came in the afternoon, she was so happy that she danced with joy. She was extremely excited.
If you completely fall out with him, aren't you afraid that he will find all kinds of opportunities to trip you up in the future? Chen Xing glanced at Yang Hong. In the afternoon, Yang Hong was still wearing a business suit, but she had changed into a casual outfit for dinner. She was wearing a white round-collared T-shirt, a black trench coat, and a pair of skinny jeans. If the collar of the white round-collared T-shirt was a little high, it wouldn't be a big deal. The problem was that the T-shirt's collar was slightly lower. If it wasn't purposely pulled up, it would be exposed. At this moment, in the private room, Yang Hong's collar was a little low.
I have you, don't I? Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing coquettishly. I don't dare to ask you anything, but you can't just watch me get bullied. If you're really heartless and don't care, then I'll accept it.
Chen Xing smiled noncommittally. He didn't believe that Yang Hong would be as calm as still water and not have any thoughts. However, Yang Hong was able to act appropriately. This was what Chen Xing admired about Yang Hong.
Yang Hong had only asked Chen Xing out for dinner in the evening. Chen Xing didn't reject her invitation. He had just had an inexplicable relationship with her in the afternoon. He couldn't just turn his back on her immediately. Moreover, he was quite satisfied with Yang Hong's understanding of the situation. Intelligent women were always especially pleasing to the eye.
The hotel they were eating at was very ordinary. Although it wasn't high-class, it was clean and elegant. This was also why they didn't want to be bumped into by people they knew. That was why they chose such a relatively ordinary hotel.
Let me tell you something first.
I'll be leaving in a while. I have a dinner to attend later. Chen Xing looked at the time and informed Yang Hong in advance.
Really? What kind of dinner could be so important? Yang Hong pouted unhappily. Her husband wasn't around, so she had a lot of time to roam outside. Furthermore, she had just "slept" with Chen Xing at noon. Yang Hong couldn't bear for Chen Xing to leave so soon. In her heart, she was still hoping that the two of them could do it again at night. She wanted to further improve her relationship with Chen Xing.
Of course it's true. If I wanted to lie to you, do you think I would be sitting here right now? I could have just told you that I'm not free tonight. Chen Xing smiled.
Yang Hong nodded helplessly. Chen Xing's words made sense. If that was the case, Chen Xing was giving her face. With this thought, Yang Hong smiled like a flower again. She stood up from the chair. Her white jeans accentuated her pair of long, slender legs. Under Chen Xing's gaze, Yang Hong slowly walked to Chen Xing and sat down. Mayor Chen, since we're leaving soon, you have to drink with me first.
Sitting so close to me and even provoking me to drink, I think you're up to no good. Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong with a smile. This woman seemed to like to take the initiative. Chen Xing wouldn't be led by the nose by her.
Then Mayor Chen, what bad intentions do you think I have? Yang Hong said sweetly. Her gorgeous face was almost stuck to Chen Xing's face.
Heh, aren't you afraid that I'll punish you on the spot? Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong from the corner of his eye. Looking at her burning eyes, he could only smile bitterly. Where's your husband? It's so late, and you're leaving him at home?
Hmph, as a businessman, he often flies around and rarely returns home. Who knows if he has been cheating outside? Just based on the behavior of men, I don't believe that he would behave himself outside. Every time I ask him to pay for public goods, I can tell that he must have been messing around outside when I saw how helpless he was when I asked him to do so. Yang Hong rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. She seemed to be blaming Chen Xing for bringing it up.
I see. Chen Xing heard this. He knew that Yang Hong didn't want to talk about family matters, so he didn't say anything more.
…
Rong Cheng Hotel, a five-star hotel near the Provincial Education Department, was the private room where Kang Jicheng and Yang Hong had lunch at noon. At this moment, there were still people in the private room toasting each other. One of them was still Kang Jicheng, but the other was Ma Chaoan. Ma Chaoan repeatedly toasted Kang Jicheng, his mouth full of flattery.
Ma Chaoan really wanted to ask about the lunch between Kang Jicheng and Yang Hong. In the afternoon, he tried his best to listen to what was going on in his office. However, the soundproofing of the door was too good. He could only faintly hear Kang Jicheng and Yang Hong arguing, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about. This made Ma Chaoan want to smash his office door. Why the hell did he install such a soundproofing door in the first place?
Because of the door, Ma Chaoan couldn't hear their conversation, so he didn't know what happened. However, he was now sure that something unexpected must have happened during Kang Jicheng and Yang Hong's lunch. Otherwise, why would Yang Hong and Kang Jicheng quarrel?
Based on Ma Chaoan's understanding of Yang Hong, even though her father was still the Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, the CPPCC was equivalent to a retirement department. Everyone knew how much power the CPPCC had. Even though Yang Hong's father was once the County Party Secretary, he was already past his prime. Everyone only gave him face because they respected the old cadres. Hence, Yang Hong wasn't someone who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. There must be a reason why she dared to quarrel with Kang Jicheng.
Could it be that Kang Jicheng really did it? Ma Chaoan thought maliciously. Otherwise, it wouldn't have escalated to that extent.
However, no matter how much he guessed, Ma Chaoan didn't dare to ask. Kang Jicheng also didn't seem to want to talk about what happened at noon, so Ma Chaoan pretended to be deaf and mute. He was eavesdropping outside, so Kang Jicheng might have already known.
Department Chief Kang, what about the special funding? Ma Chaoan toasted Kang Jicheng again and asked cautiously.
Chief Ma, I know you are anxious about the funding, but you also know that there are many people applying for it. Hence, our department has to be cautious, lest the other Municipal Bureau has any objections. Kang Jicheng said in a sincere tone.
Bullsh * t. It's because you didn't get Yang Hong, that's why you didn't approve it. Ma Chaoan scolded Kang Jicheng in his heart, but he smiled and flattered him. Department Chief Kang was right. Everyone knows that Department Chief Kang has always been the fairest. That's why your reputation is so high.
As a leader, you should be impartial. Kang Jicheng laughed. Ma Chaoan's flattery worked on him.
Hmm, I can understand Department Chief Kang's painstaking efforts. Ma Chaoan laughed. He was no longer in a hurry to talk about the money. He rolled his eyes and said. I wonder if Yang Hong is on her period. She's so hot-tempered and disrespectful. I can't let her have her way. I'll give her another call and ask her to come over and apologize to Department Chief Kang.
Forget it. It's not appropriate to call her now. If she's at home with her husband and child, you'll just be asking for trouble if you call her now. Kang Jicheng waved his hand. Since Yang Hong said she's not coming, there's no point in calling her now. Furthermore, Kang Jicheng was worried that Yang Hong was at home with her family. If he called her now, he might just be asking for trouble. He didn't know if Yang Hong had told her family about what happened in the afternoon, but her husband must know. If Yang Hong didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and this phone call angered her, then Kang Jicheng's reputation would be ruined.
Accompany my ass. I was so angry that I forgot that her husband is often away on business trips. Also, her son is at her parents' place most of the time. They will only pick him up on the weekends. She's usually alone. It would be weird if she doesn't have time. Ma Chaoan said angrily. He had worked with Yang Hong for two to three years and was very familiar with Yang Hong's situation. At this moment, he was angry because Yang Hong didn't even give him face. In Ma Chaoan's eyes, this was undoubtedly a public challenge to his authority. Ma Chaoan could tolerate other things, but he couldn't tolerate this. If Yang Hong didn't come out, he had to call her out.
When Ma Chaoan's words fell into Kang Jicheng's ears, Kang Jicheng was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Ma Chaoan. You said that Yang Hong's husband often goes on business trips? Then what about these few days? Her husband is also away on business trips?
It's just that he is away on business trips. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked her to come out. Ma Chaoan got goosebumps from Kang Jicheng's stare. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with this old pervert? Why does he look like he wants to eat me?
Damn, this bitch is also having an affair. I thought she went to find her husband to solve the problem. " Kang Jicheng's face darkened when he heard Ma Chaoan's words. He clenched his fists and regretted that he didn't get his way in the afternoon. Thinking about how Yang Hong dared to go against him in the afternoon, Kang Jicheng was even angrier. At first, he thought Yang Hong ran home, and he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything. He wanted to make up for it and shut Yang Hong's mouth. Yang Hong pointed at his nose and scolded him, so he could only endure it. He didn't expect Yang Hong to have an affair. He was tricked in the afternoon.
Ma Chaoan saw that Kang Jicheng didn't speak, so he asked, "Chief Kang, what's wrong?
No, nothing. " Kang Jicheng shook his head and looked at Ma Chaoan. He didn't want to reveal anything to him, but the anger and unwillingness in his heart kept rising.
