Chapter 178: Handling It With Grace >

and let Na Junying and Hong Wenming investigate it, it would only delay their normal work! This is not good for Baoyuan County's work. 。Xiao Zheng also made up his mind: "Well then, let's wait a litt...Lin Xiaofeng saw Xiao Zheng walk in and smiled at him: "Mayor Xiao is here Please sit down." 。Xiao Zheng looked around the private room and seeing no one, he sat down at an angle opposite Lin Xiaofeng. 。Lin Xiaofeng gave a playful smile and said with a hint of complaint, "Mayor Xiao, are you sitting so far away from me Are you afraid I'll eat you" Xiao Zheng also smiled and replied, "This private room is so spacious, isn't it just to make people sit a little further apart and more comfortably"Lin Xiaofeng laughed again and said, "Mayor Xiao is truly eloquent. No wonder he became the town mayor at such a young age." 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin." 。Before the call, Mr. Lin said there was something he wanted to tell me, but I didn't know what it was.”

Lin Xiaofeng said: "Isn't it just about Qin Pei, Ma Hao and others" Xiao Zheng asked again: "Can Mr. Lin explain now" 。Lin Xiaofeng shot Xiao Zheng a flirtatious glance: “Are all men like this, so eager” Xiao Zheng felt that since he came in, Lin Xiaofeng had been deliberately teasing him. He said, "Whether men are eager or not, Ms. Lin should understand better than me" 。I only know that I'm here to discuss business today, and everyone's time is valuable. 。

Lin Xiaofeng's heart sank when Xiao Zheng said, "A man in a hurry or not, Ms. Lin should understand me better." She suddenly stood up from her seat and glared at Xiao Zheng angrily: "What do you mean Are you saying that I have relationships with too many men!" Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were almost bulging out, like an injured she-wolf, completely different from her previous alluring charm. 。Xiao Zheng instantly felt that Lin Xiaofeng's situation was probably rather precarious, which is why she was so easily angered. 。

Xiao Zheng didn't want to upset her so soon. 。After all, he came here anyway. He can't go back empty-handed today, even if he doesn't make a full haul. 。Xiao Zheng then said, "Mr. Lin, where are you getting that from I don't have the right to comment on Mr. Lin's private life. What I mean is, men have a monkey-like nature by nature, Mr. Lin should understand, we are all quite impatient!"

Lin Xiaofeng saw that Xiao Zheng gave her a way out, and a smile reappeared on her face. 。She felt that Xiao Zheng was a man more tasteful and interesting than Qin Pei and Ma Hao. He didn't speak with an air of authority, but rather in a roundabout way that would frustrate you yet leave room for maneuver. 。Lin Xiaofeng hadn't met such a man in a long time, and she unexpectedly felt like staying with Xiao Zheng for a while longer. 。Lin Xiaofeng had completely given up on both Qin Pei and Ma Hao, Her body and soul were in a state of emptiness now. Compared to the police chief Qin Pei and the Public Security Bureau Chief Ma Hao, Xiao Zheng's appearance, intelligence, and emotional quotient were all far superior. 。Lin Xiaofeng said, “I guess Mayor Xiao is usually very busy and doesn’t have free time.” 。Since you're here today, don't rush. Just treat it like a get-together with friends, have some drinks, and chat slowly. 。"Xiao Zheng said, "How about we just have tea instead of alcohol" 。"Lin Xiaofeng smiled and looked at Xiao Zhengdao: "What Afraid of being out of control after drinking How can you not drink when you're at a bar" Xiao Zheng thought, this Lin Xiaofeng is definitely flirting with me today! Be more vigilant. " 。He said, “I heard that a lot of the liquor at the bar is fake.” 。Lin Xiaofeng snapped her fingers and said, “Mayor Xiao is right. Nowadays bars are all run down. Seventy or eighty percent of the liquor they sell is fake.” 。So, I brought my own wine today. 。Last year, I went to London with a trade delegation from my county and bought a lot of authentic whiskey. 。Today I bring you a bottle of Crown Royal whisky, over 5000 RMB. I had it in London before and was quite fascinated, so I bought it. I've kept it in the wine cellar all this time, reluctant to take it out. 。I specifically brought this here today to share with Mayor Xiao. 。"Mayor Xiao, don't refuse."

Xiao Zheng thought to himself, this woman was truly prepared. Now, he was a bit confused, she came to him, was it to drink or to talk business

However, he also knew very well that if he didn't have a drink with her, she probably wouldn't say anything. 。Xiao Zheng then said: "I'm lucky enough to have a taste of the $5,000 whiskey. It's a treat for my palate." 。A smile appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face: "Mayor Xiao, you are too kind. For those in official positions like yourselves, what good wine is there that you haven't tasted Mayor Xiao has only been the town mayor for a short time, so he may not have had many opportunities to taste fine wines. In the future, when he becomes a county or city leader, he might even drink wines worth tens of thousands of yuan a bottle." 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said: “County leaders, city leaders, it’s not something you can become just by wanting to.” 。To be able to do a good job as the mayor of this town is already something I'm incredibly grateful for. 。Lin Xiaofeng winked at Xiao Zheng again, picked up her phone and made a call. The handsome waiter from before walked in again. Lin Xiaofeng took a bottle of wine from the bar and handed it to the waiter. 。Then the waiter went to help with the mixing of drinks. 。A while later, the waiter brought in a glass decanter, an ice bucket, and two glasses. He poured a drink for both Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaofeng. The ice cubes and golden single malt whiskey mixed together looked really good. 。Lin Xiaofeng said: "Let's have a drink of 'water of life,' bottoms up!""Water of life" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled 。Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Those Englishmen call whiskey 'the water of life'." 。“Xiao Zheng said, ‘I heard that Russians call their vodka “the water of life.” 。Lin Xiaofeng was taken aback and said, "It seems that every country will boast about their own wine." 。No matter what, this cup has to be finished. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at his own cup, then at Lin Xiaofeng's. He thought to himself, "She probably wouldn't drug my drink, right Even if she did, there's Sha Hai and others outside..." 。He has already texted Shahai and told him if he doesn't go out in ten minutes, to come inside. 。。Xiao Zheng raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Xiaofeng's. The taste of whiskey was still a bit stimulating, Xiao Zheng found the first sip a bit hard to get used to, but the aftertaste was really fragrant. 。Lin Xiaofeng asked, “How is it Are you still used to drinking it” Xiao Zheng didn’t pretend either, “It’s a little hard to get used to, white wine and beer are more refreshing.” 。Lin Xiaofeng said: "You'll slowly get used to the taste." 。“Xiao Zheng wasn’t here to drink. He knew that if they continued this way, it would go on forever. Xiao Zheng took the initiative and poured wine into both his and Lin Xiaofeng's cups, saying, “Lin General Manager, I toast you” 。After this cup, if you want to talk about admiration or Ma Haoyang, you can begin. 。If you don't want to talk today, let's schedule another time. 。After finishing his whisky in one gulp, Xiao Zheng stood up. 。From the moment he stepped into this bar, Xiao Zheng had been on the defensive. He was being flirted with and pressured to drink. 。

Ke Xiaozheng would not allow this passivity to continue for too long. Now he was going to start taking the initiative. 。Since Lin Xiaofeng called him and wanted to meet him today, there had to be something she wanted to say! Maybe if he pushed her a little, she'd get to the point sooner. 。Seeing Xiao Zheng stand up, Lin Xiaofeng's heart was still a little downcast. This man didn't seem to have much interest in her. 。Lin Xiaofeng had originally fantasized that after breaking off with Qin Pei and Ma Hao, Xiao Zheng might fill the void in her heart. But obviously, Xiao Zheng was not someone she could easily attract. 。

Relying solely on personal charm wouldn't work, so Lin Xiaofeng had to use her second tactic. 。She also stood up with Xiao Zheng, and said, “Mayor Xiao, of course I have something to say to you.” 。But, let's have one more drink and head to the dance floor to talk about it. 。Xiao Zheng asked, “Why go to the dance floor”

Lin Xiaofeng poured another drink and handed Xiao Zheng's cup to him, clinked glasses with Xiao Zheng, and drank first, saying, “The things I want to say are top secret. In this private room, who knows if anyone might be eavesdropping Ma Hao is the Public Security Bureau Chief, and he has a stake in this bar.” 。"

"Does he have shares" Xiao Zheng was stunned. Is this true or false The regulations clearly state that leading cadres are not allowed to hold shares in private enterprises." 。Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It seems that Mayor Xiao is still too incorruptible." 。Let's talk at the dance floor. 。It seems Lin Xiaofeng really brought some heavyweight inside information. Whether out of curiosity or to gain more intelligence on their opponents, Xiao Zheng couldn't leave at this time. 。He finished his drink and followed Lin Xiaofeng out of the private room. 。In just that short amount of time, the atmosphere in the place had become significantly more lively than before. The pole dancers had already grabbed their poles and were swaying their hair, heads, and bodies to the rhythm, their dance moves constantly teasing men's senses. 。The music, vibrating throughout the space, also made speaking very difficult, so that for anyone else to hear what the two were saying was nearly impossible. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at a corner, and saw Sha Hai standing up. Probably seeing that Xiao Zheng hadn't come out of the private room for so long, he was about to go over and take a look. 。At this time, Xiao Zheng happened to come out with Lin Xiaofeng. 。Xiao Zheng didn't engage with him at all, weaving between the bar tables and approaching the dance floor with Lin Xiaofeng. 。

One song had just ended, and another, even more powerful track began. A group of young people surged into the dance pool, shaking wildly.

Lin Xiaofeng pulled Xiao Zheng, and the two entered the center of the dance pool. 。Seeing this, Sha Hai motioned to his people and they all surged into the dance pool together. 。They pretended not to know Xiao Zheng, dancing by his and Lin Xiaofeng's side. 。Neither Sha Hai nor Wang Xinmei went to Fengqixing Village to work, nor did they have any direct contact with Lin Xiaofeng. Because of this, Lin Xiaofeng didn't know them and thought they were just young people who came to play. 。Lin Xiaofeng and Xiao Zheng faced each other, but her gaze skipped over Xiao Zheng's shoulder, catching the eye of someone outside the dance floor. 。That person was holding a small video camera. 。About to capture Lin Xiaofeng and Xiao Zheng on camera. 。The dance music reached its climax, the tempo suddenly going wild and everyone swaying their bodies enthusiastically. 。Lin Xiaofeng suddenly, caught off guard, used both hands to cover Xiao Zheng's neck. Her whole body pressed against his, and even her belly rubbed against him as she swayed with the music. 。

Xiao Zheng was startled, he didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to be so direct. 。A dangerous thought flashed through his mind: the picture of him dancing with Lin Xiaofeng in this embrace. If someone took a photo, how could he possibly explain it

At that moment, sure enough, someone raised a camera and snapped a picture of Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaofeng. 。But just at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared from the side, embracing each other and blocking the cameraman's view. 。, only captured two people, Sha Hai and Wang Xinyue. 。The image of Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaofeng hugging each other was not captured. 。The cameraman immediately changed the angle and snapped another picture, click! This time he captured two more figures, they were the other two friends that Sha Hai had called. It was Xiao Zheng and Lin Xiaofeng once again. 。 Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!ad already left work, but he was still in the office. 。So he probably heard their conversation in the hallway just now. 。The head of the district's reaction was quick, he said: "Song Shuji, you just...
