After he was convinced that Xia Chuchu had developed a crush on Ye Ming, Xu Fei decided to make a joke between them and test Xia Chuchu's reaction.
So, he turned his head, looked at Xia Chuchu with a smile, and then looked at Ye Ming sitting next to her, pretending to be amazed and said: "Tsk tsk, Chu Chu, you and Xiaoye are sitting together like this, one is handsome and the other is as beautiful as a flower.
, they look like a pair of golden boys and girls! Come on, let me take a picture of you, just so you can go back and make my wife and daughter envious!"
After saying that, he really stood up, took out his iPhone, and prepared to take pictures of them.
As he expected, after he made this explicit joke, Xia Chuchu was not angry, but showed a happy and shy expression on his face. He turned his head and glanced at Ye Ming, who was a little embarrassed, and shook his head slightly.
She turned to his side and posed for a group photo - obviously, she agreed with Xu Fei's proposal and was very happy with it.
Ye Ming, on the other hand, seemed a little at a loss for a moment - after all, the beautiful woman next to him was both a star host on the provincial TV station and the daughter of the director of the provincial local taxation bureau. Xu Fei made such a joke in front of them and even took a group photo with them.
I wonder if it will make her angry?
However, he soon discovered that this worry was unnecessary: Xia Chuchu not only was not angry, but showed an expression of joy and shyness, and took the initiative to lean her head over, allowing Xu Fei to take several photos of the two of them, almost head to head.
Intimate photos of their heads together...
This time, Ye Ming felt even more uneasy...
After such a small episode, the atmosphere between the three people suddenly became harmonious and harmonious.
Xia Chuchu also forgot about the discomfort she felt when she first met Xu Fei, and actually offered to drink some red wine.
While drinking, Xia Chuchu looked at Ye Ming, pouted her pretty little mouth and said: "Ye Ming, you have to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty first. In the afternoon at the hospital gate, I asked you what your name was, why did you lie to me? Xu
Director, do you think he should be punished?"
Ye Ming smiled slightly and said, "I'm not lying to you! My surname is Ye. Secretary Li and Director Xu usually call me Xiaoye, so I asked you to call me Xiaoye too. That's right!"
Xia Chuchu thought about it and realized that she had heard "Xiao Ye" as "Xiao Ye", but when she saw the naughty smile on Ye Ming's face, she knew that he must have deliberately misunderstood her, so she smiled and used a small
He punched him lightly on the shoulder and forced him to drink two glasses of wine alone.
Xu Fei watched the two of them bickering and joking with each other. It looked like two people in love were flirting, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile...
Soon, Xia Chuchu's face, as white as jade, began to glow with a faint red color, and her eyes became a little misty, and she was obviously a little drunk.
After having another drink with Ye Ming, she suddenly asked: "Ye Ming, tell me: why do you have such good martial arts? Is it because your father is a martial arts master?"
Ye Ming was stunned, and his expression immediately dimmed. He lowered his head and took a sip of wine silently. Then he said in a sad tone: "Director Xu, Miss Xia, I will tell you the truth: I am an orphan now! I have been since I was a child.
I don’t have a father. My mother is a middle school teacher and worked hard to raise me, support me through college, and get into the local tax system. However, I just started working not long ago, and I haven’t had time to repay her for her upbringing.
She fell ill and died..."
When he said this, his voice began to choke and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xia Chuchu had been listening blankly, but when she heard his last words, she suddenly felt sad for some unknown reason, and tears immediately rolled down her cheeks like broken beads...
Xu Fei had never heard Ye Ming talk about his family situation. Now that he heard that he had not had a father since he was a child, and that his mother had died of illness a few years ago, he was very surprised and quickly comforted him by saying: "Brother, you have already passed away now."
You have become self-reliant and self-reliant. If your mother knew that you were so promising, she would definitely be very happy. Today is a happy day, so don’t be immersed in such sad emotions... By the way, brother, I’m taking the liberty to
Ask: What happened to your father? Has your mother ever told you about it?"
Xu Fei shook his head and said with a little confusion: "To me, my father has always been a mystery. I heard from my neighbors that they have never seen my father. My mother graduated from Capital Normal University. During the graduation assignment
, it was she who took the initiative to apply to return to the rural middle school in our hometown to teach. Moreover, she gave birth to me a few months after she arrived at the school. For this reason, many villagers still say that my mother got pregnant out of wedlock in school.
I had no choice but to hide in a rural middle school."
"Then why don't you ask your mother: Where is your father now?"
Xu Fei asked immediately.
Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I asked. But every time, my mother replied: Don't ask now, and I won't tell you. If the opportunity comes in the future, you will meet your father. If the opportunity comes,
If not, you may never see him in your life. She also told me: Never hate your father. My life over the past few decades has been my own choice and has nothing to do with your father. So,
Until my mother passed away, she never left me any clues to find my father. She only gave me a piece of jade before she died, saying that this piece of jade was given to her by my father..."
When he said this, Xia Chuchu beside him was already crying...
At this moment, Ye Ming's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the number of Team Leader Zou of the Xinleng County Bureau.
"Ye Ming, please rent a taxi and go home overnight. I have something very important to tell you."
Ye Ming was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Team Leader Zou, what's the matter? Can't we talk on the phone?"
"Tell me the truth: When you went to the provincial capital, did you go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or the Petition Office to petition?"
"No, what am I going to petition for? I've told you before: this matter has already passed, and I don't want to mention it again."
Team Leader Zou was silent on the phone for a few seconds, and then said carefully: "Let me tell you: the day before yesterday, the Supervision Office of the Municipal Bureau received a call from the Supervision Office of the Provincial Bureau, saying that the Law Enforcement Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection called the Supervision Office and requested
They will pay attention to the case in which you were punished to see if the punishment was too severe or the basis for the punishment was insufficient. The leaders of the municipal bureau were very angry about this and thought that you went to the province specifically to petition. After Li Li heard about it,
I went to the city bureau specifically to find the leader and asked to open a new investigation against you. According to the information I got, the party group of the city bureau seems to have reached a consensus and is preparing to take double-regulation measures against you and investigate the issue of your beating again. At the same time, it is also preparing to conduct in-depth investigations.
I want to dig out other problems in your work style or in building a clean government. Therefore, I suggest you come back immediately and don’t stay in the provincial capital anymore.”
Ye Ming was shocked and angry, and had no time to explain anything to Xu Fei and Xia Chuchu. After hanging up the phone, he said to them, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to go back to Xinleng" and hurriedly walked out of the hotel.
I took a taxi and returned to Xinlang County Bureau overnight.
Sure enough, as Team Leader Zou said, the next day, Ye Ming was double-checked by the Supervision and Examination Office of the K City Local Taxation Bureau.
