When Xia Dan received the call, she had just finished being scolded by Liang Siyuan. Recently, Liang Siyuan had eaten gunpowder. No, he ate bullets. There was not a day when he did not scold people. This was not the first time Xia Dan had been scolded by him. Ever since Zhao Yuelan hugged Luo Shuaiwu's leg, Xia Dan's disaster came. As long as she touched work, it would be a mistake. No matter if she was serious or not, good or bad, Ke Ke could not avoid it. It was the same for Li Jianrong, who was the Director of the Western District Investment and Financing Center. Li Jianrong was a man. He could ignore the scolding and scolding and still raise his head. Xia Dan could not. When she was scolded, she blushed and her heart was beating fast. After being scolded, she could not recover for a long time. She felt that her whole body was violently ravaged. Everywhere was painful.
Women couldn't afford to be hurt. Women were born to be cared for, loved, and treated like dewdrops. Some people said that women in the government circles were not women. They had already become men. Xia Dan did not think so. She felt that she was still a woman. She still had a woman's shyness, pride, and self-respect. Or maybe, she had not entered the government circles and did not really belong to the government circles.
Recently, the city had assigned a task to the Investment and Financing Center. Liang Siyuan asked Xia Dan to audit the accounts of the Western District for the past two years. A lot of money had been spent on land transfer, relocation, road leveling, road construction, etc. How the money was spent and what effect it had. Liang Siyuan did not say it was for the city or the people. He said it was to give an explanation to the society. Li Jianrong and Xia Dan did not do it. Not only did they not do it, but they were also full of complaints. Li Jianrong said: "To give an explanation to the society? I am afraid it is to give an explanation to Liang Siyuan. His motive is not pure. He is just suspecting that Mayor Meng has been spending money. If you want to mess with people, just say it. Just send the audit team. Why are you covering it up? " Xia Dan was also angry. "Three days to check this, two days to check that. It seems that other people are not clean, only they are clean. Those who do work will die of exhaustion. Those who don't do work will die. " In the end, Liang Siyuan heard this. He called Xia Dan over and asked her who was doing work and who was not doing work. Since Xia Dan couldn't answer, Liang Siyuan started to criticize her. Liang Siyuan got angry when he saw that Xia Dan did not react at all. He said, "You are a typical person who doesn't do anything. The Investment and Financing Center has been established for several years. What have you done? What achievements have you made? The relocation has created a foul atmosphere. How much trouble has Three Paths Bay caused? How much money has been spent? What's the effect? " Then she scolded again, "You don't put your mind on work all day long, and you're always messing around. I'm embarrassed just listening to you!" At this time, Xia Dan spoke. Although her tone was tactful, there was still strength in it.
Xia Dan said, "I can accept the mayor's criticism, but I can't accept him saying that I'm messing around."
"I've wronged you, haven't I? I've smeared your beautiful face, haven't I? Beauty alone is not enough. What we need now is not a vase, not a pillow, but a doer, someone who devotes himself to work! " Liang Siyuan followed along with the word "beautiful" and scolded many times in one breath. His tone was like a knife, peeling off the skin on Xia Dan's face. Xia Dan wanted to retaliate, but she was afraid of angering Liang Siyuan even more. As a subordinate, she could only endure, and Xia Dan had no choice but to endure.
Liang Siyuan was like a broken water pipe. The more he scolded, the more he could not control himself. The more he scolded, the further away he was from work. In the end, it directly involved her personality and dignity.
"Why are you dressing up all day long? Who are you trying to show off? A leader should look like a leader. Don't think that just because you're pretty, you can solve all problems. No, Comrade Xia Dan. You should always rely on your ability and not those evil Kung Fu. You can flaunt your beauty and flirtatiousness in front of others, but not in front of me, Liang Siyuan. Never! "
"Mayor Liang!" Xia Dan could not take it anymore and shouted.
Liang Siyuan shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. Following that, he started to vent his anger even more ferociously. Xia Dan only found out later that Liang Siyuan's words and anger were all for one purpose. He wanted her to behave herself in front of him, and even … …
Women in the government had more encounters than men. You could not loosen your belt, but that was only your idea. Others were always staring at your belt. If you loosened it, he would say that you were cheap. If you did not loosen it, he would say that you were cheap because you were cheap to others.
In the government, it was fine not to be cheap to him, but definitely not to be cheap to others!
Men in the government always thought that everything belonged to them. As long as it was within their scope of power, you had to be obedient and be manipulated. Xia Dan could not stand it. She really could not stand it.
Xia Dan came out of Liang Siyuan's office with red eyes. She had wanted to find a place to cry and someone to talk to. Xia Dan had already taken out her phone and was about to text Meng Dongran when a thought suddenly popped up in her mind. He has been avoiding me recently. He might be tired of me.
He is tired of me. Even he is tired of me! Xia Dan's tears flowed out again. Xia Dan was a woman who did not cry easily. She was confident and strong enough to face everything. But this time, she could not hold it in anymore. Her tears kept falling. She had given her heart to him. She had really given it to him, but he was tired of her!
Xia Dan cried for a while before wiping away her tears. As she walked forward, she constantly comforted herself. He might not be tired of her, but he had been having a hard time recently. So many things and so many people were all targeting him. How could he have the time to care about her?
With this thought, Xia Dan felt a little better. The pain in the places that Liang Siyuan had injured had lessened significantly. She even thought to herself, Liang Siyuan, you can't hurt me or humiliate me. In this world, no one can hurt me. I have him. He's stronger than all of you! But, but he's in trouble!
Xia Dan's heart grew heavy again.
For better or for worse, Xia Dan was in the officialdom. Although she couldn't see too precisely what was happening in the Tong River officialdom, what possibilities and what changes might occur, she could still see a few things. If Liang Siyuan and the others really could gain power, the consequences would be unthinkable. Xia Dan suddenly shivered, as if that terrifying conclusion had already arrived. At this moment, Xia Dan's phone rang. Xia Dan thought it was Meng Dongran, or perhaps she hoped it was Meng Dongran, so she answered without even looking at the number.
"Chief Xia? I'm Ye Maojing from the provincial government."
Xia Dan's heart chilled, but she still mechanically replied, "Ah, it's the secretary. I'm Little Xia."
"Aren't you in your office? Why does it sound so messy?"
"I'm on the streets." Xia Dan's mind was still occupied with Meng Dongran, and she couldn't quite wrap her head around it.
"I heard you were criticized?" Ye Maojing suddenly asked.
Xia Dan grunted in affirmation, then asked, "How did the secretary know? You're so well-informed?"
"I'm concerned about you. Otherwise, why would I worry so much about Tong River's matters?"
Xia Dan felt no warmth. If Meng Dongran had said these words, warmth would have already spread through her body, but the one speaking was Ye Maojing, so she felt nothing. However, she still politely said, "Thank you, Secretary."
"What are you thanking me for? I didn't do anything for you." After a pause, he added, "Little Xia, the situation in Tong River hasn't been too good recently. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Prepare for what?" Xia Dan instinctively asked.
"Did you hear about your Vice Mayor Meng going to the Party School? He'll be reporting in next week."
Xia Dan grunted in affirmation. She didn't want to talk about Meng Dongran with Ye Maojing. Ever since she'd blurted out that she was Meng Dongran's woman in a moment of desperation, she no longer wanted to talk about Meng Dongran with Liang Siyuan. It wasn't that she felt awkward, but that none of them were worthy of talking about Meng Dongran.
How unexpected.
"Little Xia, this isn't a good sign. You're also an official, so you probably know better than me what it means to study at the Party School."
"What does it mean?" Xia Dan instinctively asked.
"I can't say for sure, but there's some information I can reveal to you. Recently, many people have reported to the provincial government that your vice mayor has been taking advantage of the western district's relocation project, spending several hundred thousand in one go, and spending several million on a simple road. Just one Sandaowan, with all sorts of excuses, has taken tens of millions from the country. "
"Slander!" Xia Dan anxiously interrupted Ye Maojing, her chest heaving with anger. Ye Maojing laughed dryly and said, "Slander or not, it's not up to you to decide, and neither is it up to me to decide. If there's really a problem, it'll be too late for regrets. "
"…" Xia Dan was speechless, and her heart was in a mess.
Ye Maojing caught the change in Xia Dan's heart in time, and immediately said, "But Governor Huang is very concerned about him, and is also thinking of ways to deal with him. I hope he can escape this disaster."
"Thank you, Governor. Thank you, Secretary General."
"Don't thank me yet, it's still hard to say whether you can speak up for him. How about this, why don't you come to the governor's office, and I'll introduce you to the governor. At times like this, you can't just sit and wait for death. You have to be proactive, do you understand? "
"This …"
In the end, Xia Dan still went to the provincial government, not because she wanted to go, but because she had to. Not long after Ye Maojing made the call, she had just returned to the western district office, and the phone on the desk rang again. It was Deputy Director Zeng of the park office calling, saying that Governor Huang had an opinion on the western district project, and wanted Xia Dan to go to the provincial government to explain it to Deputy Governor Huang.
Xia Dan was not calm, and if she was slightly calm, she would be able to judge the authenticity of the call. How could she, a small deputy director of the park, explain to the deputy governor? Perhaps even a deputy mayor like Meng Dongran would not have a chance. If one was not calm, it was easy to make mistakes, and Xia Dan had made such a mistake, rushing to the provincial capital in a daze.
This time, Ye Maojing was not in a hurry to see Xia Dan. With the previous lesson, Ye Maojing had also adopted a different approach. This time, he deliberately ignored Xia Dan, and instructed Deputy Director Zeng to use all kinds of reasons to delay Xia Dan, and make the situation sound more serious. On the other hand, he dilly-dallied and deliberately did not want to see Xia Dan. Although loosening the reins was an old trick, it was often effective, especially when dealing with women, especially when dealing with women like Xia Dan, who had lost her composure.
