Chu Yifan had wanted to invite Mei Jing to meet his aunt, but she had rejected him. Firstly, Mei Jing had been tormented by Chu Yifan for an entire morning. Her entire body was sore and weak, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Secondly, Mei Jing did not want anyone to know about her relationship with Chu Yifan. Chu Yifan had no choice but to help her uncuff her, order lunch, and then drive to the municipal party committee compound.
The one who opened the door was still the little girl called Luo Yue. The dishes had already been laid out, and only Chu Yifan and his aunt were eating. Luo Yue left as soon as Chu Yifan arrived.
"How's the thing I asked you to do last time?”Zong Wei asked after drinking two glasses of wine.
Ever since he broke up with Chu Yifan that day, Zong Wei had secretly investigated the security of Western Hubei for a few days. The situation was not optimistic. He called Chu Yifan and asked him if he knew about the distribution of these evil forces in Western Hubei. When he was drinking with Ling Xiao last night, Chu Yifan had asked him about this. It turned out that most of these hooligans were the subordinates of Jiang Wanhua's husband, Huang Xiaojie. When Huang Xiaojie was around, although it was also very chaotic, at least there was someone to guard it, so it was not too out of line. After Chu Yifan castrated Huang Xiaojie, he fled to Australia, and the underground forces in Western Hubei became a pile of loose sand. No one was convinced by the other, and they often fought for their own interests, making western Hubei a mess.
Chu Yifan didn't expect that he would be the one asking the question. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Secretary Zong, is this going to test your ability? He would use his thunderous methods to return a peaceful world to the people of Western Hubei.”Chu Yifan joked with his uncle.
Zong Wei wanted to cut the Gordian knot, but he was new here and didn't understand the situation, nor did he have any confidants to use.
"Take it slow. I'm still in the dark now.”
"Little uncle, if you don't trust them, why don't you just send a few people over from Hubei.”It was obvious that Chu Yifan wanted to smuggle some goods.
Zong Wei had the same intention. He already had a name list in his heart.
"Uncle, how is that Xu Hu?”
What kind of person was Zong Wei? Chu Yifan knew what Zong Wei wanted to do the moment he opened his mouth.
"Yifan, is there something going on between you and Xu Hu?”Zong Wei looked at his nephew with a smile.
Chu Yifan felt a little guilty and quickly explained,"Uncle, don't worry. He and I are just ordinary friends and we hit it off. There's really nothing illegal about it.”
Zong Wei was just teasing Chu Yifan. In fact, Xu Hu was just a small section-level cadre, and he was not worthy of his attention.
"Alright, he counts as one too."
"Uncle, thank you."
As soon as he came out of his uncle's house, Chu Yifan went to the " celebrity " to report the good news to Mei Jing. Mei Jing was also very happy when she heard that. After Xu Hu was transferred to Northern Hubei, although the problem of location was solved, the husband and wife were separated for a long time. If it wasn't for Chu Yifan's constant nourishment, Mei Jing would basically be a widow.”If Xu Hu could be transferred to western Hubei, the distance between the two places would be less than two hours. Then, they could meet every week.
Chu Yifan seized the opportunity to spend the entire afternoon with Mei Jing. Then, he reluctantly sent her to the car heading to Zhong Jing.
Christmas was coming!
The school committee decided to hold a ball in the school's auditorium. In the afternoon, all the members of the school committee began to get busy preparing for the upcoming ball. Chu Yifan led a group of students to clean up the tables and chairs in the auditorium. Then, he sprinkled chalk powder on the floor. Li Ping and Jiang Jing went to hire a band, while Qian Xiaoqiang and Zhao Gang took a group of students to cut pine trees on a nearby hill.
The ball began when night fell. Although the conditions were very simple, the Christmas tree in the middle of the auditorium with colorful lights and small gifts more or less set off the New Year's atmosphere.
Chu Yifan saw Chen Xixi as soon as he entered the ballroom. She was wearing a purple coat, like a delicate violet flower, quietly blooming.
The music started, and the ball began.
For the first dance, Chu Yifan invited Li Ping.
When he was dancing with Li Ping, he did not forget to peek at Chen Xixi, who was standing at the side. He saw that many men had warmly invited her, but she had coldly rejected them all.
When the second song started, Chu Yifan walked to Chen Xixi's side and invited her politely.
"Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of asking you to dance?”
Chen Xixi looked a little flustered.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Chu. I don't know how to dance.”
"It's okay. It's very simple. I'll teach you.”
After his repeated invitations, Chen Xixi finally stood up.
Chu Yifan naturally put his right hand around her waist. He clearly felt Chen Xixi's body tremble involuntarily.
"Put your left hand on my shoulder.”Chu Yifan instructed and grabbed Chen Xixi's right hand.
"When I step forward with my left foot, take a step back with your right foot.”Chu Yifan demonstrated.
"Then, I'll step forward with my right foot, and you step back with your left foot, just like walking.”
Chen Xixi gave it a try, and the two of them took a few steps forward.
"If you close your eyes and listen to the music, can you distinguish the sound of the drums?”
Chen Xixi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. It was not difficult to catch the strong drumbeats. She quickly distinguished the drumbeats that were popping, scraping, and scraping.
"I heard you." Like a girl who had just gotten a new toy, Chen Xixi's lips curled into a smile.
This was the first time Chu Yifan had seen Chen Xixi smile. Even though it was only a shallow smile, it was enough to make one's heart flutter.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what steps you use when you dance. What's important is that every step you take has to be on the beat of the drum.”
Chen Xixi quickly understood. The two of them gradually turned into the crowd.
A reckless couple suddenly rushed towards them. Chen Xixi couldn't help but panic and bumped into Chu Yifan's arms.
Chu Yifan immediately felt a warm fragrance filling his body, and he could smell a faint fragrance.
Chen Xixi quickly steadied herself. A red glow floated on her fair and beautiful face, like peach blossoms in March, beautiful beyond compare.
Chu Yifan composed himself and said," Don't be nervous. All beginners have this stage." He continued to teach," If I find someone behind you, I will use my right hand to grab your waist tightly."”
After he finished speaking, Chu Yifan pinched Chen Xixi's waist. It was as soft as if she had no bones.
"Just stop. If you see someone behind me, squeeze my shoulder with your right hand and I'll know.”
Chen Xixi didn't realize that Chu Yifan was taking advantage of her. Instead, she nodded her head in admiration.
The cooperation between the two gradually became tacit, and the time they collided with others became less and less. Chu Yifan hugged Chen Xixi's slender waist and sniffed her refreshing body fragrance. He felt extremely comfortable. The golden boy and jade girl duo attracted many envious gazes.
This was the first time Chen Xixi had such close contact with a man since she was in junior high school. Even she herself felt that it was strange.
The first time she met Chu Yifan was on television. He calmly stood in front of the beautiful female host and spoke with assurance.
The second time he met Chu Yifan was during the competition. The collision before the final whistle almost made Chen Xixi's heart jump into her throat.
The real reason why he had a deep understanding of Chu Yifan was because of his thesis.
This man seemed to be able to give Chen Xixi a different feeling every time.
The world was very complicated, but for Chen Xixi, there were only two kinds: Inner and external.
Ever since junior high school, Chen Xixi had taken the initiative to shut herself off and lived in her own inner world for a long time. She was a proud person, and proud people usually had no friends, whether they were boyfriends or girlfriends. After joining the job, Chen Xixi did not deliberately change her mind. In her opinion, there were not many people in the world who could talk to her, but Chu Yifan was undoubtedly an exception. He was very outstanding, so outstanding that he stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens. Everyone knew him at a glance, and Chen Xixi actually felt that they could appreciate each other.
Chen Xixi didn't want to attend tonight's ball. After dinner, his parents went out. Chen Xixi was the only one left in the huge room. She watched TV in boredom and felt a little dull. Her mood was also rare. So, she put on her coat and went out for a walk. She walked and walked until she reached the school.
As usual, her arrival attracted countless gazes. Strangers kept trying to invite her to dance, but she politely declined until Chu Yifan arrived.
He didn't know why. Chu Yifan's invitation caused her to panic a little, and she agreed in a moment of distraction.
Chu Yifan had always been very gentlemanly and elegant. Even when Chen Xixi stepped on his foot, he did not get angry. Instead, he maintained a smile on his face and remained patient. For a moment, Chen Xixi's heart was touched, and she even felt a little sweet. To Chen Xixi, this was simply unbelievable.
After the song ended, Chen Xixi returned home. His parents were still not back, and the house was as cold as ever.
She silently walked to the balcony and looked into the distance. Suddenly, the sky in the distance was illuminated. Silent fireworks rose one after another and bloomed in the night sky.
Chen Xixi subconsciously looked at the time on her phone. It was already twelve o'clock. On the other side of the ocean, there must be many people welcoming the new year in the artificial noise. Looking at the deep and distant sky, Chen Xixi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of desolation. The stars in the sky blinked as if they were mocking her. Perhaps, it was time to walk out.
On New Year's Day, there was a heavy snowfall in western Hubei. The goose feather-like snow turned nature into a silver-clad world overnight.
In such weather, Jiang Wanhua actually proposed to go to Li Garden to take a look. Chu Yifan had no choice but to drive and bring Li Ping and Jiang Wanhua to Li Garden again.
As there was still snow on the ground, Chu Yifan drove very slowly and only arrived at Zhu Po in the evening. The thick snow had completely buried the original path. Chu Yifan rejoiced at his decision to bring Li Ping here. If it weren't for Li Ping, they wouldn't even know where to go up the mountain. Along the way, there were many people who fell down. Fortunately, there was snow on the ground, so they did not fall very painfully.
After experiencing the change of seasons, the scenery in Li Garden became more and more charming. Fog pine, snow mountain, bamboo sea, ice waterfall, presented a different kind of scenery. Jiang Wanhua was so excited that she shouted and kept taking pictures with the camera. If it wasn't for Chu Yifan pulling her, she would have almost fallen into the ravine several times.
At night, she stayed at Li Ping's house.
The dilapidated house could not resist the cold wind outside. Even with two layers of blankets, Chu Yifan was still shivering from the cold. As he was tossing and turning, Li Ping quietly slipped in and hid under Chu Yifan's blanket.
Hugging Li Ping's warm body, Chu Yifan felt much warmer.
Although Li Ping looked average, she had a good figure. The upper body was short, and the lower body was long. The only flaw was that the chest was too small, and he could grasp it with one hand. At this moment, Chu Yifan's hands were rubbing Li Ping's small but firm breasts. Soon, she was panting and the stream was flowing…
Seeing that the water was flowing smoothly, Chu Yifan separated her legs and entered.
Suppressed moans could be heard from under the blanket…
Chu Yifan was more assured about this. If it was Jiang Wanhua, it would be hard to say. Perhaps she would wake up the entire village.
After a round of intense exercise, both of them were drenched in sweat…
"Where did you arrange for Manager Jiang to go?”Chu Yifan asked after they were done.
"At my second uncle's house."
"That's enough for her." Chu Yifan couldn't help but worry for Jiang Wanhua.
"What's wrong? My heart aches. Why don't I bring you over?”
"Don't talk nonsense. Our relationship is just ordinary.”Chu Yifan quibbled.
"I don't believe you. From the way she looks at you, I can tell that your relationship is definitely not ordinary.”
Chu Yifan shook his head. Women seemed to have an innate sixth sense in this aspect.
"If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it.”
"Then tell me, what is she doing here in such cold weather?”
The answer was soon known.
Early the next morning, Jiang Wanhua braved the cold and excitedly asked Li Ping to take her and Chu Yifan to visit the two hot springs and karst caves on a bamboo raft. On the way back, Jiang Wanhua stood halfway up the mountain like a general facing the battlefield. She pointed out the situation to Chu Yifan and Li Ping and said,"I've decided to invest in the development of this place. I've even thought of the name of the scenic spot. It'll be called Moon Lake.”
"After the road from the county to here is expanded, I will try to introduce water, electricity, wireless communication, and internet. A star-rated hotel was built by the lake, which was a combination of food, accommodation, meetings, and entertainment.”
Jiang Wanhua pointed in the direction of Li Ping's house and said,"I also want to build an ethnic village there and organize some unique ethnic activities. Then, I'll transform the hot spring into a bathing center. Yifan, what do you think?"
"That's a good idea, but have you calculated how much it will cost?”
"I'll make a proposal and hand it to the bank. I'll try to get a loan of 100 million yuan, and then I'll take the proposal to discuss the cooperation with the Yunlin County government.”
When they returned to Jade Dragon Court at night, Jiang Wanhua said to Chu Yifan proudly,"Chief, what do you think?”
"It's perfect!" Chu Yifan had to admit that Jiang Wanhua was indeed talented in business.
"The board of directors approved it?" Jiang Wanhua teased.
"That depends on Manager Jiang's performance today.”
