Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 204 I can’t bear it for too long!
"Mr. Cao, welcome!"

In the government compound of Xizhou City, before the Mercedes-Benz came to a stop, Cao Yukun had already seen Cheng Guangqiu, the city government's chief steward, with whom he had drunk when the contract for the acquisition of the sock factory was signed, standing on the steps waiting for him.

As soon as the car stopped, he got out of the car without waiting for the driver Xue Chengliang to open the door for him. Facing Cheng Guangqiu's smiling face, he said with shame, "Oh, Secretary Cheng, how dare I accept this!"

Cheng Guangqiu smiled warmly, but he seemed both reserved and sincere. He held Cao Yukun's hand and said, "Why are you not worthy of this? Mr. Cao is a famous entrepreneur in Xizhou City and a major exporter. If I hadn't stopped him, Governor Tang would have come down to pick you up himself! Tell me, why are you not worthy of this!"

Bullshit!

It is true that Tang Xueming, the city's second-in-command, thinks highly of him, but it is nonsense to say that he would come downstairs to greet him - Cao Yukun is not qualified.

Maybe in three to five years, you will be qualified, but at least not now.

In fact, he was just not familiar with the municipal government compound, so he contacted Cheng Guangqiu in advance, firstly to ask the prefect if he had time, and secondly to ask him to say hello to the gatekeeper.

I didn't expect that he would come out to greet me in person.

He is estimated to be around fifty years old this year, and his words combined with those of Tang Xueming, the young governor, sounded a little confusing, but one has to admit that people do things more tactfully and thoughtfully as they get older.

It is a good idea to pair him with Tang Xueming, who is obviously younger and slightly bookish.

So he led the way to see the prefect.

In fact, Cao Yukun came here today as a temporary decision after leaving Shanghai. He handed the matter of selling rice cookers to Song Yuhua. It was a small test for Song Yuhua. Anyway, no matter how hard he sold, the sales would not be too bad. So of course he left Shanghai and rushed to Fuping. However, he had to think about how to deal with Zhao Xiaolan's matter halfway.

Suddenly I made up my mind and decided to go play football. Instead of going back to Fuping, I would go to the city hall.

No matter how Cao Yukun thought about arranging a fake marriage for Zhao Xiaolan, he felt uncomfortable. To be honest, everything else was fine, as it wasn't really a cuckold. The main thing was that he felt uncomfortable psychologically, and also, the hidden dangers were too great.

If I don't have any big development in the future, it's fine. If Zhao Xiaolan doesn't continue to move up, it won't be a big problem. But the problem is, how can I not develop? Zhao Xiaolan is ambitious to begin with. After getting close to me, she served me shamelessly and pestered me for projects. How could she not want to move up?

Then in the future, if the matter is exposed by someone... the consequences will be unimaginable.

At least for him and for himself, this is an absolute big stain. It may not violate any laws, but it will definitely touch a certain string in the hearts of many superiors - I am a county magistrate or a city governor in the government, and you dare to take me as a lover? As a mistress? And you even let her give birth to a child for you? You are a county magistrate or a city governor, and you are willing to be a lover and give birth to a child for a businessman?

In this case, either you don't want the child, or you have to find another way.

Zhao Xiaolan is now a county elder and deputy county magistrate. Although she is only a deputy director, if we really talk about the power ranking in Fuping County, she is almost qualified to be in the top five. If Fuping County cannot solve this problem, it can only come to the city to find answers and solutions.

He already had connections in city hall.

The previous signing of the sock factory contract was obviously just a small project, but Tang Xueming went there in person to participate in the signing ceremony. Everyone drank well that night, and Cao Yukun could sense the city governor's appreciation for him - well, let's take a step further!

Crisis is crisis, and in danger lies opportunity.

In fact, the real opportunities are only hidden beneath the appearance of danger.

"Hahaha, Yukun, come here, you are a rare guest! It's not easy for you to come to my place, sit down! Old Cheng, take out my jar of good tea! Come, Yukun, sit down!"

As expected, Governor Tang was very cordial.

The last time they drank, Cao Yukun had set a trap, which was about an electrical appliance company coming to invest. Later, the news leaked out, and the Wuxing District under Xizhou City went to harass Cao Yukun's second uncle severely. But at that time, Cao Yukun set the trap in preparation for future contacts, and never thought that it would be used on Zhao Xiaolan's matter - he couldn't take care of it anymore. The child should have been born in the early two days of September. Of course, it is impossible to see anything now, but this matter will take only three or four months to resolve. By the time the child is five or six months old, if it is not resolved, it will definitely not be hidden.

Three or four months is not enough time for the internal operations of the government.

Sit down, drink tea and chat.

Cao Yukun had lunch in Modu before leaving the city. When he arrived in Xizhou City, it was already past three in the afternoon. For the work within the government, it was not a good time to entertain guests, but the current situation was special. Tang Xueming really valued Cao Yukun, the young and handsome boss - he was the governor of a city, and of course the economy and administration of the entire city were under his control, but he had to admit that as a governor who was transferred from the university to the local area a few years ago to join the cadre team in response to the younger and more educated cadres, his foundation in Xizhou City was very weak.

In recent years, the whole country has been working together for economic construction and reform and opening up. In fact, the power and voice of prefects and county magistrates have been greatly enhanced. Some powerful officials can even compete with the top leader at the elders' meeting at their level.

But there is no doubt that whether it is Cao Yukun's own officialdom or some gossip about the municipal government heard from Zhao Xiaolan and others, the prefect Tang Xueming is a relatively weak prefect.

Then of course he would like to boost the economy as quickly as possible.

As they were talking, twenty minutes passed. There were only two people in the office. The strangeness after not seeing each other for a month or two gradually faded away. They both found the rhythm of chatting and the feeling of getting along with each other. Cao Yukun brought up the topic - there is nothing to hide, just say it!
If he answered, then we are one family. We have shared such trivial matters, so of course we are one family. If we are one family, then you should help me. If you help me, I will help you in the future! Then the relationship will be closer!

If he doesn't accept, the game is over. Zhao Xiaolan, don't jump around. Work as a deputy county magistrate for a few years, then transfer to the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to take a full-time job and wait for retirement!

Anyway, it's just a sinecure, at most a sinecure at the level of a director. Even if things can't be suppressed and are exposed in the future, I will no longer be the same person I am today, and the government leaders I come into contact with will already be in a higher dimension and at a higher level. By then, the worst that can happen is that they will just scold me for "making trouble"!
It's just a little bit taboo, but it's not a big taboo anymore.

The director level is the highest level in the county, and it is also considered to be a high-profile and taboo in the city. When it comes to the provincial level...

"You...you are kidding! Ridiculous!"

As expected, as soon as Tang Xueming understood what was going on, he immediately became furious!
He even stood up from the sofa, looked down at Cao Yukun, and was about to leave. After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Absurd!"

tsk...

He is a deputy county magistrate, and an executive deputy county magistrate at that. Recently, good news was reported to the city that Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Xiaolan has persuaded Hongkong Yiren Kangyin Company to locate its drinking water plant in Fuping County. This shows that Deputy County Magistrate Zhao is a very capable cadre!

So, you got this project from bed?

Are you pregnant? Are you going to give birth to someone else's child?

The same goes for you, Cao Yukun. No matter how young and romantic you are, if you openly marry several wives in your county, we will turn a blind eye to it. You are young and frivolous, so it’s no big deal if you act a little naughty. As long as you don’t register for marriage, we can pretend not to see it. Just do whatever you want!
And now you've got a divorced deputy county magistrate pregnant?
Just let it grow up, abort it, and you actually come to me to tell me about it? You still want to give birth to the baby?
What do you want me to do?
I don't want to know about this kind of thing at all!

Cao Yukun...lowered his head and accepted the scolding.

But in fact, Tang Xueming's anger lasted only about ten seconds, and he said no more than ten words in total!

He stood up and walked a few steps in the office, then came back soon, "You are under 20 this year?"

Cao Yukun nodded.

He sighed helplessly - getting married is not possible. In fact, it is useless to ask this question. Even if Cao Yukun is of the right age and has not yet married, it is not appropriate to match them up for marriage.

When Fuping County reported the information, it involved the issue of an actual executive deputy county magistrate, so the city still had to bring it to a meeting. Therefore, someone as knowledgeable and well-remembered as Tang Xueming would not easily forget Zhao Xiaolan's detailed information and resume after reading it - the woman was already 34 years old!
Once two people get married, a young man and an old woman, one is a big businessman and the other is an important official in the county, this matter will leave a stain on both men and women no matter how you look at it.

Words like collusion between officials and businessmen and trading power for money are on the tip of his tongue.

This idea and proposal had no possibility of being implemented, but Cao Yukun couldn't help but look up and glance at the governor Tang - asking this question, even if it was useless, had already made his attitude clear.

He answered.

So Cao Yukun felt relieved all of a sudden - as expected, he had come to the right place!
This is the handle that I handed over voluntarily!

With this handle in hand, the positions of both parties are easy to find and clear at once. Once the positions are found, everyone can get close to each other as much as they want!
So, since he has accepted the task, he will definitely help himself think of a good way to deal with this trouble - this is the basic consciousness of an official.

After all, this is not a major issue of party principles, but just a matter of personal style.

What era is this now? It's no longer the time to bring someone down and criticize them just by saying they are a slut.

One is a good cadre who is capable of developing the economy, and the other is a big businessman who is successful in Xizhou, Modu, and Hongkong. Even if the two of them are having an affair, it will not be bad for the development of the economy, but will be beneficial!
"You! You are really...ah..."

Another half minute later, Tang Xueming suddenly stopped. Although his brows were furrowed, there was no anger on his face. "It's impossible to hide this from Secretary Wang. Come on, let's go and meet Secretary Wang!"

As soon as he said this, Cao Yukun's eyes lit up.

…………After staying in the city hall until after four o'clock, Cheng Guangqiu personally sent Cao Yukun downstairs.

This arrangement is already enough.

After shaking hands and saying goodbye, Cao Yukun got into the car, feeling quite proud and relieved. "Let's go, find a bigger mall, buy some things, and go to my second uncle's house!"

This is another temporary decision.

I hadn't originally planned to stay in Xizhou City, and of course I hadn't considered going to my second uncle's house, but since I've been in Xizhou City for this long, it's normal to stop by for a meal.

Speaking of which, Cao Yukun also felt that he hadn't seen his second uncle for a long time.

In fact, because he didn't want to have a grand celebration, Comrade Lao Cao deliberately didn't ask Second Uncle to go back when he took Huang Jiaying and Xie Xiaoyu back to his hometown that day... So today, he will go to Second Uncle for a drink.

Well, although Tang Xueming has only been in politics for a short time and has a shallow foundation, he is very quick to react and handles things with great courage. His future is limitless!

So... an idea that I came up with on the spur of the moment actually worked!
Go shopping and go to my second uncle’s house.

The car stopped downstairs, and Cao Yukun carried his things and went upstairs. When they knocked on the door, the couple should have just got home from work. When the door opened, they saw Cao Yukun standing at the door with a lot of bags. Second Aunt immediately smiled and greeted, "Dad, our eldest nephew is here!"

I didn't get scolded this time.

It seems that this is the family tradition of the Cao family. There is no such thing as laughing and joking between the elders and the younger generations. If you dare to laugh and joke, you are asking for a beating. At least Cao Yukun's father and second uncle are like this. Whenever they meet, they will more or less point out some problems with you and scold you - it has been much better in the past six months, and they don't scold you much anymore.

Especially this time, the second uncle actually just asked casually in a very calm manner, "Is it awkward to have two wives living at home? Do your old fathers-in-law really have no objection?" And so on.

The answer was fluent.

After a while, Cao Yuke came back from school and didn't even ask such questions.

Eat and drink.

Cao Yukun originally thought that his second uncle would talk about the incident of the Wuxing District government looking for him some time ago after finally meeting him in person. However, his second uncle didn't mention a single word about it from beginning to end.

After dinner, go home.

Fuping County is just over a hundred miles away from the urban area of ​​Xizhou City, about fifty or sixty kilometers. Even at night, and with only the national highway available these days, it is still enough to get back in an hour or so.

But when he returned, he startled everyone in the garden.

Du Xuehong, who was in charge of guarding the gate, and the two hired nannies in the garden had already gone to bed. Xie Xiaoyu and Huang Jiaying were actually playing chess. Hearing the noise outside, they opened the door and looked out. They saw that it was Cao Yukun who had suddenly returned. Huang Jiaying was fine, she just had a look of joy on her face, but Xie Xiaoyu couldn't control herself all of a sudden and rushed towards Cao Yukun screaming.

My goodness, she must have gained weight recently, definitely more than 100 pounds. Cao Yukun caught her with a smile, and held her by the buttocks - he didn't say anything when he caught her, but instead scared the two nannies.

Xie Xiaoyu is probably about three months pregnant now, and she doesn't look pregnant yet, but to someone who has experienced this, this action still seems quite dangerous.

"I miss you!"

She was still shy. She was too surprised when she pounced and was hugged by Cao Yukun on the buttocks. No matter how tight the hug was, it seemed not enough to express her joy. But once she came to her senses, she was too embarrassed to get down.

The two nurses stared at her.

In the end, Cao Yukun simply carried her back into the house.

After returning to the house, Cao Yukun quietly joked with her. She was embarrassed but still refused to come down, with a cute and innocent look on her face, "Just hug me! I don't care what they say!"

There was no other way, Cao Yukun had to hold her butt with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled Huang Jiaying into his arms and kissed her - Huang Jiaying was even more embarrassed than Xie Xiaoyu, especially when encountering similar situations, she was always embarrassed to be intimate with Cao Yukun in front of Xie Xiaoyu. At this time, when Cao Yukun finished kissing her, she smiled and pushed him away, taking the initiative to move a little distance, but said to Xie Xiaoyu sarcastically, "Alright! Come down!"

Xie Xiaoyu immediately fought back, "No! I'm jealous of you!"

In fact, they are the same age and were in the same grade in high school, but they didn't know each other in school. The reason they really got to know each other was because of Cao Yukun.

At the beginning, he took advantage of being drunk and dragged Huang Jiaying to this garden, and made them show their true colors to each other. Cao Yukun did not expect that their relationship would be handled well later.

His original intention for doing so was actually very simple. They all lived in the same county and could not avoid each other. Xie Xiaoyu was pregnant again, so he had to let the two of them get to know each other in front of him. He might as well be frank and say something tough, so that he would not always avoid dealing with it. If the two of them met on a narrow road one day and had a disagreement, someone would get into trouble.

As a result, Xie Xiaoyu was naive and stupid, but she was stupid in a clear way. It was not that she did not have bad intentions. She did not have any bad intentions at all. She was jealous, of course, but the problem was that Huang Jiaying was too smart. After she understood Cao Yukun's thoughts, she knew it was impossible to force him to do it, so she had to win over Xie Xiaoyu. As a result, she soon had Xie Xiaoyu in her hands.

Well, when Cao Yukun was not at home, the two of them would eat together, go shopping together, and chat together. In the morning when they went to work, Huang Jiaying even didn't let Du Xuehong send her off, she drove to send Xie Xiaoyu off herself.

When Cao Yukun came back, she gave the man they shared to Xie Xiaoyu first!

A silly girl like Xie Xiaoyu had no ability to resist when she met Huang Jiaying's behavior. She just treated her like a sister - she even brought Huang Jiaying back to her home. But no one knew how Comrade Xie and his mother-in-law felt when they saw their silly girl bringing her little rival home.

But today is an opportunity.

Xie Xiaoyu was pregnant, so it was impossible for him to do anything with her. But he had just returned, and according to the tacit understanding between them, he should sleep in Xie Xiaoyu's room as usual tonight.

Then why not just do nothing and just sleep together!
"Don't leave, the three of us will sleep together tonight!"

In fact, as long as Cao Yukun forced it, Huang Jiaying would never have the intention to go against Cao Yukun's will and not let him go his way. The most she lacked was an opportunity to return from a long journey.

So when Cao Yukun acted stupid this time, even though she was shy, she was forced to agree.

That's good, if there is one, there will be two.

Although it was impossible to really do anything, mainly because he was afraid of arousing Xie Xiaoyu's interest, which would be difficult to deal with, but with two slippery beauties in his arms, he chatted about the trivial matters of the recent period, until everyone felt sleepy and fell asleep unknowingly. This sleep was indescribably comfortable.

Since the acquisition of Aijia Electric Appliances began in late September, Cao Yukun has been busier than ever before for more than half a month, but in fact, Huang Jiaying has not been idle in Fuping either.

In the past month, she first went out with Cao Yukun to the capital to discuss issues such as opening a factory, obtaining land, and approval in the capital. After returning, she had to arrange for the selection of a site for the drinking water plant.

In addition, Cao Yukun's garden in the county specially hired a group of masters to do the decoration. The requirements were to maintain the ancient style and charm, while also making the decoration, design and use modern. It was very troublesome and the work was very slow. Cao Yukun's new house in the countryside also needed to be decorated, and she was keeping an eye on all of this.

In short, I am busy and noisy.

Only Xie Xiaoyu was truly recognized throughout the county as a wealthy and idle person.

She never resigned and wanted to go to work, but she was in a class at the county government, and although she was not the kind of person who worked three days a week and stayed at the Internet cafe for two days, basically no one assigned her any work. She just played in the office all day. She used to work in the computer room, but later Zhao Xiaolan transferred her out and arranged for her to work in the secretariat, where she had even less time.

She was Cao Yukun's wife, pregnant with Cao Yukun's child. Her father was still Xie Zhaofang, the head of the beverage factory. Huang Jiaying, a recognized strong woman in the county, was her sister, who sent her to work every day. Deputy County Magistrate Zhao even treated her like a younger sister recently. They ate lunch together in the cafeteria... In the whole county, including the county government, who dared to cause trouble to her? Who dared to say something unpleasant to her? Who dared to make her angry?

She was very cool and comfortable.

Even like now, just because he takes care of her and is afraid that she might get aroused and disturb the empress, Cao Yukun has to hold it in all night even though he has Huang Jiaying in his arms.

This treatment is basically top-notch for Cao Yukun.

Of course, I couldn't bear it for too long.

The next morning, after getting up early and exercising, Cao Yukun simply took a shower in the bathroom. Then he sneaked back and took Huang Jiaying out of the warm bed.

Huang Jiaying had gone to bed late last night and was in a daze when she was carried back to her room. Cao Yukun's things had been put in, but she was still dazed. Xie Xiaoyu in the other room was even more soundly asleep.

Well, it feels like stealing someone’s beauty.
