"Everyone looked at us weirdly before this. She's a good person, so she'll understand," Ma Yingjie replied to Wang Xiaodan. Since Liu Feng already knew about the relationship between Ma Yingjie and Wang Xiaodan, there was no need for them to hide anything. The most important thing was their future work and whether they could take care of each other. That was the main purpose of this gathering. Of course, Ma Yingjie thought so.
Liu Feng stood up at this moment and said to Ma Yingjie, "I'll get Xiuqin to prepare some good dishes. Let's have a few drinks later. I'm afraid gatherings like this are getting fewer and fewer today, so we must have some drinks no matter what." Liu Feng walked out as he spoke. Ma Yingjie did not stop him and let him make the arrangements.
As soon as Liu Feng left, Wang Xiaodan's gaze returned to Ma Yingjie's face. She really wanted to express something to Ma Yingjie, but she did not know how or where to start. All of a sudden, her face flushed.
Ma Yingjie glanced at Wang Xiaodan and sighed. "Xiao Dan, keep your feelings to yourself. That's about all I can do to help you. You'll have to rely on yourself after I leave. So, don't put such unrealistic thoughts and feelings on men. "Especially men in the government circles, especially men like me who are on the rise. I don't dare to do anything out of line. After all, it's easy for men to have such thoughts after 50 years old. "So, Xiao Dan, you need to find someone to live your life with. You really can't put your feelings on me, it's not worth it."
Wang Xiaodan's face flushed even redder. She did not expect Ma Yingjie to bring up this issue directly. Although Ma Yingjie had acknowledged her as his sister, Ma Yingjie's series of help and guidance to her made her emotions surge again. She realized that she still couldn't get rid of her feelings and dependence on Ma Yingjie, but when Ma Yingjie told her this so rationally, she was so disappointed.
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the private room. Ma Yingjie glanced at Wang Xiaodan and said, "Hurry up and calm down. It's probably Sister Lee. Don't expose your emotions in front of her."
After Ma Yingjie finished speaking, he got up to open the door. Wang Xiaodan suddenly had the urge to cry. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. She had already gotten the position of the bureau chief. She should be happy and satisfied. However, she found that she was not happy at all. Instead, her heart was empty and full of sadness.
The person standing outside was indeed Li Xiaomei. Ma Yingjie smiled and said, "Sister Li is here. Please come in."
As soon as Li Xiaomei entered the private room, Wang Xiaodan immediately stood up and greeted, "Hello, Department Head Li." Li Xiaomei was stunned. She did not expect Wang Xiaodan to be here. Moreover, it was only Ma Yingjie and Wang Xiaodan. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Were they really together?
Ma Yingjie understood Li Xiaomei's expression. He pretended to be casual and said, "Brother Liu Feng went to prepare the dishes. He said that it's a farewell wine for me, so it should be more sumptuous. Everyone should drink some wine today. Sister Lee, is there a problem?"
Li Xiaomei replied with an 'oh' and instantly felt relieved. She said as she walked, "Of course, of course. I was saying that I'll see you off after I'm done with this. Since it's a good opportunity, I'll see you off. " Then, Li Xiaomei smiled at Wang Xiaodan and said rather passionately, "Xiao Dan is here too."
Calling her Xiao Dan closed the distance between Wang Xiaodan and Li Xiaomei. Wang Xiaodan quickly went to pull out a chair for Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei didn't refuse and allowed Wang Xiaodan to do so. Ma Yingjie let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was afraid that the two women would fight. Wang Xiaodan was a sensible person. Since he respected Li Xiaomei so much, Li Xiaomei naturally wouldn't argue with Wang Xiaodan. If she did, she would seem petty. Moreover, Liu Feng was here and Ma Yingjie had called her personally. It proved that even if there was something between him and Wang Xiaodan, he didn't treat her as an outsider. It was considered a private dinner. Li Xiaomei was grateful that Ma Yingjie didn't avoid it.
Liu Feng walked in. As soon as he saw Li Xiaomei, he greeted her passionately, "Hello, Department Head Li."
Li Xiaomei smiled and looked at them. "Aren't they all announcing it? I haven't officially become the department head yet. Aren't you guys changing the way you address me too quickly? "
"It's only a matter of time," Ma Yingjie answered and asked everyone to sit down.
The four of them had just sat down when the wine and dishes were served. Liu Feng looked at Li Xiaomei and said, "Department Head Li, you decide how we drink today."
Li Xiaomei didn't expect that she would become the center of attention all of a sudden. Her vanity was greatly satisfied. It seemed like there was a huge difference between being in the standing committee and not being in the standing committee. Of course, since they were giving Ma Yingjie wine today, Li Xiaomei said, "I'll drink as much as Ma Yingjie drinks today. I'll drink until the end. How about it, Ma Yingjie, Sister Li is a good friend, right?"
Ma Yingjie smiled and looked at Li Xiaomei. "Sister Li, I have a mission today, so I have to drink. However, Brother Liu and Little Dan are my kidnappers and my little sister. Sister Li is in the team, so you have to take care of them if anything happens. Here, for your beautiful tomorrow, let me propose a toast to Sister Li. " As Ma Yingjie spoke, he went to get the wine. Wang Xiaodan stood up immediately and said as he went to get it, "I'm the youngest here and my position is the lowest. Leave the service to me today."
Li Xiaomei smiled and said, "Let Little Dan serve me. Little Dan will be working under me from now on. I'll be strict with her. Don't worry, I won't let her suffer. " Li Xiaomei didn't make any excuses. Instead, she didn't treat Wang Xiaodan as an outsider. This surprised both Wang Xiaodan and Ma Yingjie. However, Wang Xiaodan's performance still satisfied Ma Yingjie. If someone's cup was empty, she would quickly refill it for that person. If someone ran out of wine, she also wanted to refill it for that person. Moreover, she respected Li Xiaomei very much. In this way, the whole table was very happy and harmonious.
Li Xiaomei's face turned red after a few glasses of wine. Naturally, she became more talkative. She said to Ma Yingjie, "Ma Yingjie, I will never discount anything you give me. As for the publicity work that I'm going to take over, I'll need your help in the future. After all, you're going to work in the city or the province soon. You'll have more information than Qin County. Moreover, you know that Sister Li doesn't actually want to enter the standing committee, nor does she want to go far in the officialdom. But now that I've come this far, of course I can't back out. Today, we're all brothers and sisters. I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself. Compared to Ma Yingjie and Liu Feng, I'm lacking a lot. Therefore, although I'm in the standing committee, I'm afraid that I'll need you two to help me with the knowledge and wisdom here. Little Dan is young, so I'll take care of her. Don't worry about that. "
Her words were sincere and honest. Ma Yingjie and Liu Feng were touched and excited. They refilled their glasses and toasted Li Xiaomei. Wang Xiaodan also raised his glass and toasted Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei smiled and said, "Are you sure? Today, you're giving Ma Yingjie's wine, not me. "
"Sister Li, we're all in a good mood today. Let's finish this glass. It's more refreshing to drink with friends." Ma Yingjie's face was a little red, but he was still happy. At least, Li Xiaomei gave him a lot of face by promising Liu Feng and Wang Xiaodan. Liu Feng was quite satisfied with Li Xiaomei's courteous words. Therefore, they were in high spirits and downed another glass.
Next, they talked about the situation in Qin County. Li Xiaomei was also aware of the conflict between Cao Wuwen and Yi Shuiqing. Since Liu Rusheng's project was still ongoing, Li Xiaomei was not afraid of the conflict between the secretary and the mayor with Liu Rusheng by her side. However, it was always a good thing to have her own people in the standing committee. That was Liu Feng's idea, and of course, it was Ma Yingjie's idea as well. Because of that, he invited Li Xiaomei to have dinner here and tied them together to form a group of interests, just like he, Liu Feng, and Peng Qingshan.
The dinner lasted for more than two hours. At Ma Yingjie's suggestion, they left. Li Xiaomei's chauffeur, Xiaowang, came to pick her up and send Ma Yingjie home. Liu Feng and Wang Xiaodan didn't have a private car yet, so they took a taxi home by themselves. Although Wang Xiaodan still wanted to talk to Ma Yingjie or spend some time with Ma Yingjie, she didn't dare to say anything since Li Xiaomei proposed to send Ma Yingjie home.
Ma Yingjie drank a little too much, but he was a good person. When he got home, Luan Xiaoxue was watching TV. Seeing Ma Yingjie's red face, she knew he drank.
Luan Xiaoxue stood up and went to the kitchen to make a cup of strong tea for Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie leaned on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Luan Xiaoxue coming out with a cup of tea, he said emotionally, "Luan Xiaoxue, you're so nice. But why do I always feel like I owe you a lot? "
Luan Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Ma Yingjie, why are you here again? We've agreed not to talk about these things between us. "
Ma Yingjie buried his head in the tea, but he did have such a feeling in his heart. Maybe it was because he drank, or maybe it was because he was going to leave. Ma Yingjie suddenly felt a little sad. He used Luan Xiaoxue to achieve his plan of transferring. But Luan Xiaoxue didn't know about these arrangements. She thought it was Luo Tianyun's arrangement, and Luo Tianyun was thinking about her and their child.
Luan Xiaoxue was really a good woman, so kind. No matter whether she was willing to leave or not, as long as it was her boss's decision and idea, she would always accept and compromise. But this time, it wasn't her boss's idea, but Ma Yingjie's. He was involved with Luan Xiaoxue, so on such a night, Ma Yingjie really felt guilty.
Two days later, Cao Wuwen hosted a meeting of Qin County's officials, which was a farewell party for Ma Yingjie. Cao Wuwen gave Ma Yingjie a very high evaluation at the meeting. He said, "Although Mayor Ma Yingjie is young, he has made great contributions to Qin County. His contributions are obvious, and he has given Qin County a new activity, an activity that encourages people to move forward. This activity should be carried forward in Qin County in the future, especially the young cadres. We must follow the example of Mayor Ma Yingjie, continue to hold high the line of Mayor Ma Yingjie, and strive for the reform and opening up of Qin County, and invigorate the economy."
As soon as Cao Wuwen finished his words, there was a warm applause in the hall. Next was Yi Shuiqing's speech. He also gave Ma Yingjie a very high evaluation, but his words were very procedural and principled. Perhaps he still blamed Ma Yingjie in his heart. However, he was satisfied that he could give such an evaluation to Ma Yingjie in public, and Ma Yingjie was very satisfied.
Next was Ma Yingjie's own speech. Ma Yingjie said emotionally, "Dear leaders and colleagues, I'm very grateful for your support and help during this period. Thank you, everyone. What I want to say the most today is that no matter where I go, I will love Qin County, miss Qin County, and be happy for Qin County's achievements. Qin County is my hometown. No matter where I go, I belong to Qin County … "Speaking of his hometown, Ma Yingjie choked with sobs. There were tears in his eyes, and he lost control of his emotions.
The cadres below the stage looked at Ma Yingjie and clapped enthusiastically. It would have been better if they did not encourage him. Now that they encouraged him, Ma Yingjie could not hold back his tears anymore. He quickly wiped them away and squeezed out a smile. "I've only been in Qin County for a short time. My growth cannot be separated from the Secretary, the County Head, and everyone here's help and support. Even though I've achieved some achievements, these achievements are inseparable from the leaders' concern and the support of everyone here.
Everyone here has more right to speak about Qin County's situation than me. My foundation is weak, and my foundation is weak. Therefore, as a native of Qin County, I see it with my own eyes, and I'm anxious. I can't wait to devote myself to work day and night. These are my sincere words, not a show. Who doesn't love their hometown? Although I'm still young, my love for my hometown is sincere. This is also the reason why I wanted to return to Qin County. I've not done enough, and there are still many problems. It's the Secretary, the County Head, and everyone here who gave me a platform and tolerated me. That's how I got to where I am today. Here, I sincerely thank the Secretary, the County Head, and everyone here. "Ma Yingjie bowed deeply to everyone in the meeting room.
Ma Yingjie's actions won another round of applause from the audience. Ma Yingjie heard the applause, and it made Ma Yingjie feel touched and excited. Ma Yingjie could tell the applause was sincere.
"Qin County will have a better tomorrow! Qin County is always in my heart, and I wish my hometown will get better! I also wish everyone's work will get better! Thank you. "
Ma Yingjie said his last words while standing. All the cadres present also stood up. Everyone was sincerely sending off Ma Yingjie. At least this young man had won one achievement after another for Qin County in a very short period of time. Just like what Cao Wuwen had said, this was obvious to all.
