After listening to Li Xiaoning's words, Tang Hui laughed and said: "Brother, I praised you for being smart just now, but why did you become confused again in the blink of an eye? I was just using an analogy to rhyme with you. Don't worry, it's just like when I started talking to you.
As you said, Secretary Liu will never mention this matter today. I won’t explain the reason to you in detail. You can experience it yourself in the future. I will only tell you what to do in the future..."
Li Xiaoning listened with his eyes wide open.
Tang Hui took a breath and said: "From now on, no matter who gives the leader a gift or what it is, as long as it is handed into your hand, you must never tell the leader, and it doesn't matter if he sees it or not.
I see. Aren’t you going to send him home? After he goes upstairs, you follow him upstairs, put the things in his house, turn around and leave, don’t say another word, don’t even look at him, just pretend
It’s nothing. You’ve never been to his home. Do you understand?”
Of course, Li Xiaoning understood what Tang Hui said, but Liu Qifeng and Li Xiaoning didn't understand. Of course, the method Tang Hui said would work with other leaders, but with Liu Qifeng...could he do the same thing?
Tang Hui saw suspicion on Li Xiaoning's face. He did not speak, but smiled very responsibly.
From Tang Hui's smile, Li Xiaoning felt that he might really understand now. He didn't say anything because he neither believed everything Tang Hui said nor dared not believe it, but he really understood.
When getting out of the car, Li Xiaoning said nothing and went upstairs without mentioning the gifts in the trunk, as if he had completely forgotten...
Back in the dormitory, Kong Xiangrong was absent as usual. Li Xiaoning plugged in the water heater and prepared to boil water for a bath. He was dizzy now, not only because of the three bottles of strong liquor he drank at the dinner, but also because of what Liu Qifeng had said to him after he came back.
The words he spoke to were working.
Li Xiaoning felt her face was hot, so she washed her face with cold water in the wash basin. Just as she picked up a towel and wiped it randomly twice, her cell phone rang...
"Which guy came to harass me in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Li Xiaoning muttered irritably. He took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it belonged to Cheng Xiaoxi. Then he remembered that before going to the development zone, he promised to treat Cheng Xiaoxi to a late-night snack.
…
"Hey, Xiaoxi?" Li Xiaoning felt a little guilty, after all, it was a bit unethical to release beautiful women.
"Li Xiaoning, didn't you promise to treat me to a midnight snack tonight?" Cheng Xiaoxi's voice sounded faintly dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi. I didn't mean to let you go. It was too late when I came back. Otherwise, let's try another day!" Li Xiaoning said apologetically.
"Li Xiaoning!" Cheng Xiaoxi's tone suddenly increased eight times, "You took advantage of me!"
"What?" Li Xiaoning asked in confusion, but then realized that he had accidentally told a connotative joke, and quickly explained, "Xiaoxi, I didn't mean that..." Before he could finish his words, another
When I realized that it was even more inappropriate to say this, I didn't know how to continue.
"Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore." Cheng Xiaoxi said with a smile, "Open the door!"
"Open the door?" Li Xiaoning said in surprise, "Are you outside the door?"
"What do you think?" Cheng Xiaoxi said angrily.
Li Xiaoning didn't expect Cheng Xiaoxi to show up at his door so late. He quickly went to open the door and saw Cheng Xiaoxi standing outside the door with an angry look on his face.
"I saw the No. 1 municipal party committee car parked in front of the building, and I knew you were back." Cheng Xiaoxi said as he entered the house, walked to Li Xiaoning and frowned again, "Why does it smell so strong? How much did you drink?
Wine?"
Although Cheng Xiaoxi didn't say it clearly, Li Xiaoning already knew that she must have been waiting for him. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I don't know how much I drank. There must be two or three bottles."
"Drinking is harmful to your health, you'd better drink less!" Cheng Xiaoxi had a trace of distress on his face.
"I don't want to drink." Li Xiaoning said with a wry smile, "Weren't they all forced to do it? Today, Secretary Liu asked me to drink for him. The officials in the development zone went crazy and wanted to drink it on the spot.
I'll drink it down."
"What's the result?" Cheng Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoning and said.
"The result?" Li Xiaoning said with a sly smile, "Am I still standing? Then of course they are the ones lying down."
"Okay, stop bragging." Cheng Xiaoxi sounded angry, but actually said with concern, "Look at you, your eyes are red, you must be feeling uncomfortable, right?"
"It's okay!" Li Xiaoning said nonchalantly, "I just feel a little dizzy. It's okay."
"You feel fine now, but when you get up tomorrow morning, you will know how uncomfortable it is." Cheng Xiaoxi gave Li Xiaoning another hygiene eye, then looked around and said, "Where did you put the tea?"
"Tea?" Li Xiaoning asked in confusion, but then he came to his senses and said sheepishly, "Look at me, a big guy, you finally came here, I can't even think of pouring you a cup of tea, damn it
, Damn it. However, I don’t usually drink tea, and Kong Xiangrong doesn’t usually live here. There is really no tea in this house. There is boiled water, you don’t mind it, right?”
"I hate you, you big-headed guy." Cheng Xiaoxi glanced at Li Xiaoning again, pursed his lips and said, "I want to make tea to sober you up. Just wait, I will go back and get it for you."
"No need. It's so late, please stop working." Li Xiaoning said hurriedly. Seeing Cheng Xiaoxi caring about him, a feeling quietly arose in his heart. He couldn't tell what it felt like, it was just comfortable. He has grown so big, except for
Mom, I have only had close relationships with two women in total, one was Lu Xiaomei and the other was Tang Wei, but with neither of them, he felt what he felt today.
"Is everything okay?" Cheng Xiaoxi still looked unbelieving, walked up, put his hand on Li Xiaoning's forehead and touched it.
The moment Cheng Xiaoxi put her jade hand on his forehead, Li Xiaoning felt as if an electric current rushed from his forehead to his toes. He almost screamed in comfort. It was not the first time for him to have physical contact with a woman, but this feeling was...
Brand-new.
Li Xiaoning did not dare to covet this kind of pleasure. He quickly took a step back and said with a smile, "I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, just look at it." As he spoke, he used one foot as a pivot and did a small turn in ballet.
"Puch!" Cheng Xiaoxi was amused by him.
"Haha!" Li Xiaoning also giggled.
After the laughter stopped, neither of them spoke anymore. The room instantly became quiet, but the atmosphere gradually became strange.
Cheng Xiaoxi was the first to be unable to bear the depression. She waved her hand and said, "Since you're fine, I'll go back."
"Are you leaving now?" Li Xiaoning was not being polite, but he didn't know why he said this. Maybe he was hoping that Cheng Xiaoxi could stay a little longer, so he said without saying anything, "You're not
Do you want to have a late-night snack? Go now! We won’t wait another day!" Li Xiaoning said this last sentence deliberately. Maybe it was the lustful nature in the man’s heart that was at work. He really wanted to take advantage of Cheng Xiaoxi.
Cheng Xiaoxi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You have no sincerity at all. How long has it been? Are you still going out for a late-night snack?"
Li Xiaoning took out his cell phone and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Xiaoxi, I'm so sorry. It was my fault this time. I will make up for it another day, no, another day."
"Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with you. Since you're fine, I'll go back." Cheng Xiaoxi said as she walked out the door. But just when she was about to walk out,
But suddenly he heard a sound of "Gulu, Gulu". Cheng Xiaoxi looked back and found that Li Xiaoning was covering his stomach with his hand, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
Cheng Xiaoxi frowned again and said angrily: "Did you just indulge in drinking at the banquet and didn't eat anything?"
"I took a few bites, but I vomited them all out later." Li Xiaoning said with a red face. He felt really embarrassed, as if he had farted loudly in front of Cheng Xiaoxi.
"I really can't do anything to you. After drinking so much, if you don't eat something, your stomach will be damaged!" Cheng Xiaoxi walked in the door again angrily, "What do you have to eat here? I'll cook it for you.
point."
"Food? Yes, there are a few buckets of instant noodles in the cupboard. I can just bring them myself." Li Xiaoning declined hastily.
"Is instant noodles also called food?" Cheng Xiaoxi's eyes widened, "You don't only have instant noodles, do you?"
"I am alone and usually eat in the cafeteria. Why do I keep so much food in the room?" Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "In fact, instant noodles are quite delicious. When I was in college, I ate them every day and never got tired of them."
"It's true that you eat instant noodles as a staple food. Didn't you have a girlfriend at the time? That Lu Xiaomei. For her, you ignored even an outstanding girl like Xixi. Is this how she took care of you?" Cheng Xiaoxi
Said angrily.
When Cheng Xiaoxi mentioned Lu Xiaomei, Li Xiaoning's face darkened and he said nothing.
Cheng Xiaoxi already knew about the breakup of Li Xiaoning and Lu Xiaomei. He knew that what he said was a bit revealing, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he slowed down and said, "Stop talking, come to my place and I will give it to you."
Get something to eat."
"It's so late, isn't it convenient?" Li Xiaoning declined.
Cheng Xiaoxi frowned and said, "I asked you to follow me, so just follow me. What are you doing pretentiously? What's not convenient?"
When they were in college, the two of them often interacted and had a close relationship. Li Xiaoning had already learned about Cheng Xiaoxi's cheerful personality. He knew that if he continued to refuse, he would definitely be educated by her, so he had to smile and said: "Okay,
It’s better to obey orders than to be respectful, please!”
Cheng Xiaoxi's residence is actually on the same building as where Li Xiaoning lives. They are both single apartments of the Binhai Municipal Committee. It's just that one lives on the third floor and the other lives on the fifth floor.
The two climbed two floors, and Cheng Xiaoxi walked to a door and took out the key to open the door.
"You also live alone?" Li Xiaoning asked upon seeing this.
"When we were divided into dormitories, I happened to be alone, so I had a room to myself. If there is someone else in the room, can I ask you to come?" Cheng Xiaoxi said as he opened the door.
"Wouldn't it be like a man and a woman living alone in the same room?" Li Xiaoning thought in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
