Chapter 384 More Entanglements

    

Xiao Jingyu have only asked that one question, refused to listen to his explanation, and let him go back like thatHad Xiao Jingyu already been completely disappointed in himXiao Zheng looked at Xiao...When Tao Fang saw that it was Mayor Xiao, she felt a surge of joy. But the grievance in her heart, as if finding an outlet after being dammed up for so long, became even harder to contain. 。Tears flowed even more copiously. 。Xiao Zheng finally saw Tao Fang's bewildered and wronged expression, as well as the tears streaming down her face. 。My heart skipped a beat, thinking, could something have happened to Tao Fang Xiao Zheng quickly said: "Tao Fang, please get in the car first." 。Xiao Zhong had already pulled the car to a stop by the roadside. Tao Fang gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and got into the car, sitting beside Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Where are you going" Tao Fang said: "I'm going home" 。Xiao Zheng asked, "Have you had dinner yet" Tao Fang shook her head and said, "No" 。Then Xiao Zheng felt puzzled. The street where Tao Fang had been earlier was also the most densely packed with restaurants. If she wasn't here to eat, what was she doing

Xiao Zheng said: "I don't have any engagements tonight either. Why don't I treat you to a meal" 。"That's not possible, County Magistrate Xiao. I'll treat you to a meal." 。Next to my apartment complex, there is a small restaurant with delicious food. I'll treat you to a meal there. 。Tao Fang was the office director in town and paid special attention to etiquette. She believed that when it came to meals, subordinates should always treat their superiors. 。Although she was filled with grievance at this moment, when she saw Xiao Zheng, she didn't dare to forget her manners. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "You find the restaurant, I'll pay." 。Tao Fang said: “Let's go and see first.” 。She had already made up her mind, of course, that she would be the one to pay when the time came. 。Tao Fang's residential complex is called Xipu Ju, and there is a small restaurant next to it called "Zi Wei Xiao Cai Guan". It's truly an unassuming eatery, but the home-style dishes are quite distinctive. 。Driver Xiao Zhong saw that Xiao Zheng and Tao Fang were about to discuss something, so he said he was going home for dinner. He would ask County Mayor Xiao to call him later, and he would pick him up. 。The small private room they were in was also rather simple, but it was clean. 。After the small dishes, such as bamboo shoots stewed with chicken, stir-fried snails in sauce, salt-water prawns, and seaweed with peanuts, came up, the two ordered two bottles of beer. 。Tao Fang proactively poured wine for Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng asked, "What happened today When I saw you on the street earlier, you seemed to be crying." 。"Before, in the car, because the driver was there, Xiao Zheng didn't ask anything." 。When Xiao Zheng brought up this matter now, Tao Fang's expression couldn't help but turn sad again, and her eyes started to become red. 。She trusted Xiao Zheng as a reliable leader, so she told him about how Yao Beixiang had invited her to a hotel suite before and made inappropriate demands of her. 。Xiao Zheng was simply unable to believe his ears. As a leading cadre, Yao Baixiang had been so brazen, treating the power in his hands as a mere tool for transactions. 。Why would Yao Baixiang dare to do this There is no doubt that he has Tan Zhen backing him up in the city and Tan Siming backing him up at the provincial level. 。But he refused to believe it. A leading official could be so arrogant and lawless, wouldn't anyone be able to control him! Xiao Zheng felt deeply resentful in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and said: "Tao Fang, you were right not to agree to his demands." 。As a female official, if you walk down that path, no matter how quickly you can be promoted, you will ultimately be doomed. 。Tao Fang Hong's red eyes looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, I won't cross this line." 。Even if I can never be promoted, it doesn't matter to me. 。At least, I held onto my principles. 。Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "How could it be impossible to promote forever Rest assured, the organization will sooner or later see capable and upright cadres." 。No matter how difficult it gets, you're sure to reach more important positions in the future. 。Xiao Zheng spoke very firmly, and Tao Fang felt a kind of strength in his expression and voice that could give her the courage to try again. 。After today's events, Tao Fang had lost confidence in the future. 。Upon hearing this from Xiao Zheng, she seemed to find courage in facing failure and confidence in challenging the future. 。Let's not talk about anything else, just Xiao Zheng himself. Over the years, he has advanced step by step, encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but in the end he overcame them all and reached the position of a county-level leader. Like Yao Baixiang, who is a relative, he is also a county committee leader, and his ranking is even ahead of Yao Baixiang. 。。Tao Fang was very glad that, in the face of Yao Baixiang's power temptation today, she had not succumbed and walked out of Zui Long Restaurant proudly. 。Tao Fang picked up her wine glass and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, hearing you say that, I feel re-energized to face the work ahead." 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, “Then I am honored." 。"Do you live in the apartment complex next door With your parents" Tao Fang shook her head gently. "My parents live in their own house, an old teachers' dormitory allocated before." 。I live in this apartment complex. It's a single-bedroom apartment. I bought it when I worked at County First High School, and I just paid off the mortgage last year. 。"How about we go to my place later"

Xiao Zheng thought that as a county leader, going to the home of a female cadre at the grassroots level seemed inappropriate. He replied, "Another time would be better." 。"Tao Fang looked at Xiao Zheng and said, 'Are you afraid your girlfriend will be unhappy' Speaking of his girlfriend, it was a sad topic again, but he didn't want to hide it, so he replied, 'I don't have a girlfriend now.'" 。 。"

That surprised Tao Fang, "You broke up with Sister Chen" Tao Fang started teaching at County No. 1 Middle School when Chen Hong was already working there, so Tao Fang used to call Chen Hong "Sister Chen." "You two have been together for so long, why did you just break up" Xiao Zheng didn't want to say bad things about Chen Hong in front of Tao Fang, so he said: "Everyone's choices are different, and what they ultimately want is also different" 。So, there's no way..."

Tao Fang felt sorry for Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong's breakup, but at the same time, she inexplicably felt a tinge of joy. 。Why was she joyful Tao Fang herself couldn't tell. She said, “Xiao County Head should come visit me today. I just bought a coffee machine and beans, and sometimes I make my own coffee. My skills are pretty good, you know Definitely not worse than at a regular cafe.” 。Xiao Zheng likes to drink tea and coffee. He heard that Tao Fang makes good coffee, and he couldn't resist the temptation, so he said, "Then I'll have a cup and go." 。After finishing their beers, the two men walked toward Tao Fang's apartment building. 。Xiao Zheng's previous activities were mainly concentrated near the county government, while Tao Fang's apartment complex has always been on the eastern outskirts of Anxian County, nestled against a hill. The complex has many trees and plants, and the lights are partially obscured by trees, creating patches of shadow. 。As for those who came and went, Xiao Zheng wasn't very familiar with them. At least, he hadn't met anyone he knew. 。Single apartments are all built on the perimeter of the complex, providing shelter from wind and rain for the multi-story buildings inside. 。Tao Fang's house was no exception. The building it was in faced the road, and the house itself was only about thirty or forty square meters. 。Tao Fang walked ahead, opened the door first, went inside, turned on the lights, took off her high heels, put on her slippers, and turned to Xiao Zheng, saying: "County Mayor Xiao, please wait a moment, I'll get you some slippers." 。By the light, Xiao Zheng saw only Tao Fang's own shoes on the shoe rack at the door. There were no men's shoes. 。Soon, Tao Fang ran out from inside, holding a pair of slippers sealed in a plastic bag, still unopened. 。It is visible that usually, no men come to Tao Fang's house. 。Tao Fang was a few years younger than Xiao Zheng, at around twenty-six or seven. Could it be that she had never had a boyfriend Xiao Zheng was quite curious, but he didn't think it was appropriate to ask at this moment. 。Seeing Xiao Zheng change into slippers, Tao Fang closed the door and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, please come in and sit down." 。Make yourself at home, this is just my humble abode, it's a little cramped. 。As soon as Xiao Zheng stepped into the room, he caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. It was subtle yet pervasive, drifting gently and making him feel incredibly comfortable. 。ttee's attitude on this matter And what about the attitude of Huaxing These things all make Sima Yue uneasy. 。He believed in his father Sima Zhongtian's influence, but if Huajing was determined, thin...
