"Let's go. Get in the car." Zhang Lixing turned his head and glanced at Liang Jing. His heart was burning.
They got in the car silently. Liang Jing hadn't recovered from the trance just now. She could choose between heaven and hell, but it seemed that she didn't have the right to choose. Others had been envious of her, who had climbed to the position of director of the Municipal Government Office at such a young age. She had some real power in her hands and was deeply trusted by the leaders, but they didn't know the sadness hidden under the light. Liang Jing didn't know why she became like this now.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Zhang Lixing gently put his hand on Liang Jing's leg.
"No, I can't have anything on my mind." Liang Jing squeezed a smile on her face.
"Mayor, the new Director Chang brought people to arrest you tonight. Qian won't let it go, will he?" Liang Jing asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"Do you think Qian Xinlai won't react when he is slapped in the face?" Zhang Lixing narrowed his eyes and smiled.
As they were talking, Liang Jing's cell phone suddenly rang. The sudden sound startled Liang Jing. She took out the cell phone from her bag and looked at it. Liang Jing's face changed. She turned off the phone and quickly put it back into her bag. Her face was a little unnatural.
"Who called? If you want to answer it, just answer it. It's not inconvenient. " Zhang Lixing raised his head and glanced at Liang Jing. For a moment, he seemed to feel that Liang Jing suddenly tightened. Although she soon relaxed, the subtle change was still noticed by Zhang Lixing.
"It's my husband. I don't know what he wants. Anyway, it's usually nothing good when he calls me. We have been separated for so long, but he still calls me from time to time. Something is wrong with him." Liang Jing cursed under her breath.
"Oh, it's your husband. Hey, your husband really doesn't know how to cherish you. You are so dignified and virtuous. Why should he dislike you? You are gentle and good at serving people." Zhang Lixing looked at Liang Jing and said with a smile.
Liang Jing smiled and didn't say anything. She just rolled her eyes at Zhang Lixing, but in her heart, she was cursing him as a bastard. If Zhang Lixing hadn't done that to her … After the first time, it was easy to imagine what would have happened after that. The two of them had maintained an improper relationship until now. There were no walls in the world that didn't have ears. Some of the rumors had reached her husband's ears, causing him to often quarrel with her … To put it bluntly, if it wasn't because of Zhang Lixing, that bastard, would she have ended up in this situation? Liang Jing didn't deny that when she had sex with Zhang Lixing, she was reluctant and didn't really resist. But could she resist? She was just a small office director. How could she resist a high and mighty deputy mayor?
If it weren't for that time, maybe she would still be a director and her family would still be happy. Or maybe … she and her husband would not get along after all. She couldn't stand her husband's temper, at least for now.
Sighing silently, Liang Jing felt confused, empty, numb, and even full of fear. This was her real mental state now. Besides the children, the only thing she really cared about was Qin Peng, her childhood sweetheart. Qin Peng was now her emotional support. For him, she was willing to be threatened by Li Kaishan and work for Li Kaishan.
Liang Jing thought numbly. She only thought that she did it for Qin Peng, but she avoided facing herself and what kind of person she was. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Qin Peng, but deep in her heart, she was more afraid that she would lose everything now, or that Zhang Lixing would kill her too.
Human nature was so contradictory. Liang Jing felt that everything she did now was meaningless, but she couldn't bear to give it up. She held on to it tightly. Even if there was a chance, she still wanted to climb up. This was human nature. This was the real her. She had never faced herself seriously.
In an ordinary house in the Cadres' Family Building of the Municipal Government, Li Kaishan frowned while holding his mobile phone. Liang Jing hung up on him? Li Kaishan could be sure that the banquet had already ended, so he called because he already knew that Chang Shengjun had brought people to the wedding banquet to arrest people, but he didn't know more details, so he wanted to know from Liang Jing.
After thinking for a while, Li Kaishan didn't call again. There were only two possibilities for Liang Jing to hang up on him. One was that it was inconvenient for Liang Jing to answer the phone, and the other was that Liang Jing had changed her mind again. Thinking of the latter possibility, he thought that he had grasped Liang Jing's weak point. Thinking of Zhang Lixing's character, Li Kaishan thought that maybe Zhang Lixing was entangled with him now, so he didn't dare to call again. Liang Jing was a chess piece that he had worked hard to bury, and Li Kaishan didn't want this chess piece to be easily destroyed.
The car drove on the empty road. Outside the community, Zhang Lixing and Liang Jing got out of the car and signaled the driver to drive away first. Zhang Lixing followed Liang Jing excitedly. It was the first time for him to come to the place where Liang Jing lived. If it wasn't inconvenient in the car, and the driver was in the way, Zhang Lixing couldn't help it.
They walked one after another. Although Zhang Lixing was anxious, he was also afraid that someone in the community would recognize him, the Deputy Mayor. Anyway, they were already here, so it didn't matter.
Liang Jing walked quickly with his head down. When he was about to enter the building, he inadvertently glanced at the familiar Chevrolet parked in the parking space next to him. Liang Jing's face turned pale at once, and he stopped at once.
Why did he stop? Zhang Lixing almost hit Liang Jing.
"Mayor, why don't we go to the hotel? I … I think the hotel is better. It's more comfortable and I can relax." Liang Jing stuttered. If it weren't for the cover of the night, the abnormality of Liang Jing's face at the moment couldn't be hidden from Zhang Lixing.
"We are already downstairs of your house. Why do we still go to the hotel? I haven't been to your house yet, and I want to come again." Zhang Lixing didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Just now you warmly invited me to go home. Is it that you don't want me to go in when we are at the door?"
"Mayor, how could it be? I can't wait for you to come to my house."
Liang Jing's face changed. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Lixing. "That's it. Hurry up and go upstairs. Don't waste time standing here."
"Mayor, let's go to the hotel. If we go to the hotel … I will feel less guilty. At home, I always feel the shadow of my husband, which makes me feel uncomfortable." Liang Jing gave a hollow smile. She didn't realize that her words were contradictory. At this moment, her only thought was to send Qin Peng away as soon as possible. The Chevrolet was Qin Peng's car.
"What are you saying? You welcome me at one moment, but you can't relax the next moment. Little Jing, what's wrong with you tonight? You look absent-minded." Zhang Lixing looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he leaned over and kissed Liang Jing's face. Smelling the fragrance, he felt more itchy in his heart and urged, "Let's go upstairs."
Liang Jing smiled unnaturally. Seeing that Zhang Lixing walked into the building first, Liang Jing followed him in. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhang Lixing's face, she didn't dare to say it. Liang Jing knew that if she objected again, Zhang Lixing would definitely doubt it. Even at this moment, Zhang Lixing could see her abnormality, but he just didn't doubt it.
She pressed the elevator button, walked in, and pressed the button for the tenth floor. In the quiet elevator, there were only her and Zhang Lixing. Liang Jing seemed to feel her heart pounding. At this moment, she blamed Qin Peng. Why didn't he call her first when he came to her house? Even if it was a text message, it would have been fine. Liang Jing knew that Qin Peng wanted to give her a surprise. He liked to make such small surprises often, and then wait for her with some small romance. If it was a normal time, maybe she would have cheered when she saw Qin Peng's car. But at this moment, the great fear made her blame Qin Peng. Wait, what should she do? How to explain to Zhang Lixing and how to deal with Zhang Lixing, the old fox? Zhang Lixing was not stupid. Liang Jing knew that this old bastard was more shrewd than anyone else when he was shrewd.
Qin Peng walked back and forth in the living room of Liang Jing's room. He had the key to Liang Jing's house, so he could go in and out at will. Sometimes he sat down, and sometimes he walked to the window and looked down to see if Liang Jing had come back. He didn't turn on the light, so Liang Jing might not necessarily see his car when he came back. Then, he could give Liang Jing a bigger surprise.
Looking down from the tenth floor, he couldn't see the situation below clearly at all, especially at night. But looking at the time, it was quite late. Liang Jing should be back by now. He had been waiting for more than an hour.
Footsteps came from outside the door. Qin Peng was happy. When he was about to hide behind the door, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside. "Mayor, it's so late. Aren't you afraid that your wife will suspect you?"
The low voice was heard clearly by Qin Peng, who was close to the door. Qin Peng was so scared that he almost sat down.
"I don't care whether I go back or not. My wife doesn't care about me." Zhang Lixing curled his lips.
Standing in front of the door, Liang Jing dawdled and fumbled in his bag, but he couldn't find the key.
"Ah, I put the key in my bag. Did I lose it?" Liang Jing said deliberately, and this time he deliberately lowered his voice.
Qin Peng's face was pale, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He knew that Liang Jing must be reminding him now, but where could he hide in the room? Especially when he saw the red wine and candles on the table, Qin Peng was so angry that his eyes almost popped. He hurried to the table and put the candles away. He didn't know where to put it. Seeing the trash can, he threw it into it anxiously. He picked up the red wine and put it back into the wine cabinet in a hurry. The cooked dishes on the table were put into the refrigerator in a hurry. Looking at the whole room, Qin Peng was more anxious about where could he hide as a living person.
"Let me help you find it. It's been a long time since I took the key." Outside the door, there came Zhang Lixing's slightly impatient voice.
"No, I don't dare to bother you with such a small thing. I'll take it to the light and have a closer look." Liang Jing smiled at Zhang Lixing, but he was so nervous that he was almost suffocating.
Pretending to take the bag closer to the light in the corridor, Liang Jing fumbled for a while, and then said with a smile, "It turns out to be here. You scared me. I thought I lost it."
She opened the door with the key, but deliberately took the wrong one. Looking at Zhang Lixing's impatient face, Liang Jing finally took the real key and opened the door. She didn't know whether Qin Peng heard her voice or whether Qin Peng would hide or not. At the moment when the door was opened, Liang Jing's heart almost jumped to her throat.
The room was dark. Liang Jing turned on the light. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she quietly wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"You're sweating all over just by opening the door." Seeing the door closed, Zhang Lixing immediately put his arms around Liang Jing's waist, kissed her impatiently, and said with a smile.
"I was afraid that you would be impatient if you waited for a long time, so I took the wrong key." Liang Jing giggled and thought, "It's all your fault."
Zhang Lixing curled his lips and was about to change his shoes. Seeing the leather shoes beside the shoe cabinet, he exclaimed, "Why are there men's shoes?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not a woman without a husband. My husband used to live in this room. If he didn't wear leather shoes, what else would he wear? He left, but he didn't move his things smoothly. If he didn't want to come back to take them, I wouldn't send them to him. Humph, just wait for the rest of his life." Liang Jing snorted and looked angry.
"Are you two going to stay away from each other until the end of your life?" Zhang Lixing grinned.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Lixing took off his shoes, walked to the sofa in the living room, and sat on it with his arms and legs spread out. He had drunk some wine, so he was still sober. However, he was not as observant as he used to be. He believed whatever Liang Jing said and did not think much about it.
Qin Peng hid under the bed in the bedroom. When hearing Zhang Lixing's voice, he was so scared that he almost stood up. "How could I forget to change my leather shoes at the door?" Fortunately, after listening to Liang Jing's explanation and seeing that Liang Jing had fooled Zhang Lixing, Qin Peng gasped and his body seemed to be fished out of the water. In an instant, Qin Peng found that he seemed to have walked in hell.
Liang Jing glanced around the room calmly. When he saw the small table in the living room, Liang Jing subconsciously looked at the glass cabinet where she put the red wine. When he saw the bottle of red wine placed crookedly at the outermost corner, Liang Jing guessed something.
Walking to the sofa, the red candle in the trash can made Liang Jing's pupils shrink slightly. Seeing that Zhang Lixing didn't pay attention to it, Liang Jing knew that Zhang Lixing might not see it, but he still pretended to be careless and gently kicked the trash can aside.
"Little Jing, come and sit down." Zhang Lixing called out to Liang Jing. As far as his eyes could see, her voluptuous and slender figure could be seen. He impatiently waved at Liang Jing.
"Mayor, what can I do for you?" Liang Jing covered his mouth and smiled. He glanced around the living room and then glanced at the three bedrooms. Liang Jing didn't know which room Qin Peng was hiding in, but finally, she was hiding, which made Liang Jing relax a lot.
"Advice? You will know when you come here." Zhang Lixing grinned and pulled Liang Jing over before he came close.
"Mayor, what are you doing? I almost fell down." Liang Jing rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Lixing said with a smirk.
…
In the room, Qin Peng hid under the bed and listened to the sound coming from outside. Blood rushed to his head, his face turned red, the veins on his hands stood out, and he clenched his fists to control his breathing, for fear that he would lose control. It was one thing to know that Liang Jing and Zhang Lixing had a relationship, but it was another thing to see it with his own eyes. Although he was promoted because of his relationship with Liang Jing, in the final analysis, it was thanks to Zhang Lixing. If Liang Jing didn't have a relationship with Zhang Lixing, could he have become the director of the Municipal Government Office? If Liang Jing had not been the director of the Municipal Government Office, could he have helped him to be promoted? Qin Peng knew the stakes, and he also knew that he had to rely on the relationship between Liang Jing and Zhang Lixing to climb up. But at this moment, listening to the sound outside, Qin Peng's heart was still boiling.
When the sound of running water came, Qin Peng suddenly woke up. He didn't know how long it had been. He only knew that he was almost numb lying under the bed. Maybe it was late now. He didn't know if he could find a chance to leave tonight. Maybe he had to lie under the bed all night.
Qin Peng was in a trance until the sound of the bed sinking woke him up. He felt the bed sinking, and there was a faint force coming down. Qin Peng's eyes widened. Zhang Lixing and Liang Jing were already lying on the bed.
Liang Jing's voice came from above. "Mayor, you really won't go back tonight?"
"No, I won't. Do you think I lied to you? Don't worry. I said I would accompany you tonight, and I will keep my word." Zhang Lixing touched Liang Jing's face and smiled.
Liang Jing forced a smile and leaned in Zhang Lixing's arms without saying anything. She thought that if Qin Peng was hiding in other rooms, Qin Peng still had a chance to leave quietly in the middle of the night. But she was afraid that Qin Peng habitually ran to the master bedroom. Maybe he was still under the bed at this moment.
Thinking of this, Liang Jing felt a little uncomfortable. The person she liked was hiding under the bed, but she was lying in someone else's arms.
Zhang Lixing changed to a comfortable position and lay down. Looking at the face in front of him, which was more and more attractive to look at, leaning in his arms, Zhang Lixing's face was full of satisfaction. He said to himself, "It's good to have power. Money and beautiful women are endless. If a man doesn't have power, he is nothing. No wonder some people say that power is like a drug. Once you get addicted to it, you can't quit it."
"Mayor, do you become an official just to enjoy life? Don't you want to make great achievements?" Liang Jing raised his head and glanced at Zhang Lixing.
"If I don't enjoy life, what should I do? You can't ask me to become an official for the rise of China, can you? Achievements? " Zhang Lixing smiled teasingly. "There is beauty in books, and there is a house of gold in books. These words of the ancients are all wise sayings. Only by studying will one be successful. If you don't study, you won't be able to survive in the official circles. Nowadays, the requirements for officials are getting higher and higher. When I was young, my parents almost asked me to drop out of school to work. Fortunately, I insisted on studying. At that time, I was in the first batch of students who had just resumed the college entrance examination. Who knew if studying would be of any use? Fortunately, I did study. After graduation, I was assigned to work in the government and worked until now. At that time, I didn't study, and now I don't know where I'm suffering now. "
Liang Jing was slightly stunned. Zhang Lixing's teasing about becoming an official for the rise of China made Liang Jing feel a little sad. Had all the officials fallen to such a state?
Shaking his head, Liang Jing was not in the mood to think about the great principles, nor was he qualified to think about it. As an official, who didn't want to do something for their family and friends? Otherwise, why would they become an official? Wasn't she the same? However, Zhang Lixing's words were too sarcastic.
"Xiaojing, you should focus on your work as the office director. In the future, if there is a good opportunity to be demoted, I will try to help you get the position of the county magistrate or the secretary of the county committee." Zhang Lixing said with a smile.
As the mayor, the power of organization and personnel was in the hands of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Who knew if Secretary Chen would be able to pass the test? An idea came to Liang Jing's mind and she said with a charming smile. Zhang Lixing's words diverted her attention and also scratched her itch. If the child was her spiritual pillar now, Qin Peng was her emotional pillar. The official hat on her head was the only motivation that could keep her motivated.
However, before she had time to be really happy, when she thought of Li Kaishan, Liang Jing sighed and lowered her head silently.
What could Chen Xing do? In Mount Wang, it was not a place where he could have the final say. Even if he was the top leader, he had no say in some things. Zhang Lixing snorted coldly. The mention of Chen Xing made him unhappy.
Qin Peng lay quietly under the bed and listened to Zhang Lixing's words. At first, Qin Peng was stunned and thought that if he could become an official like Zhang Lixing in his life, it would be worth it even if he died. Later, when he heard Zhang Lixing talking about Chen Xing, Qin Peng couldn't help but be shocked. Zhang Lixing really dared to say anything. No wonder people now knew that the executive deputy mayor was more popular than the mayor. Zhang Lixing could really do whatever he wanted in Mount Wang.
After all, the mayor and Secretary Chen were transferred from the province. He must have some background in the province. It would not be good to fight with him. Liang Jing reminded him.
"As long as he doesn't interfere with us, only a fool will fight with him. I'm not a bull, but if he infringes on our interests, I have to fight with him even if I don't want to." Zhang Lixing raised his eyebrows. Sometimes, he couldn't help it.
As Zhang Lixing spoke, he quickly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these disappointing words. In this life, I've already enjoyed what I should. I don't lack women, and I don't lack money either. If I really can't continue in the future, I'll just leave and go abroad."
Zhang Lixing said happily. Qin Peng, who was under the bed, opened his eyes wide. He soon realized something, took out his mobile phone, and turned on the recording mode.
"Little Jingjing, if the situation is bad in the future, you can go abroad with me. I won't let you suffer. There will definitely be villas and houses, and your life will be rich enough. Are you willing?" Zhang Lixing looked at Liang Jing and said half-jokingly.
"Mayor, I didn't know you were rich." Liang Jing smiled.
"Hehe, even my wife doesn't know how much money I have." Zhang Lixing grinned.
"Mayor, how much money do you have?" Liang Jing asked teasingly.
"Guess." Zhang Lixing smiled.
"Ten million yuan?" Liang Jing guessed casually.
"Ten million yuan? Can I buy a villa abroad with ten million yuan and enjoy the rest of my life? " Zhang Lixing said disdainfully. "Little Jing, you underestimate me."
"It can't be a hundred million yuan, right?" Liang Jing was a little surprised.
