Early in the morning, Yang Chen rubbed his still groggy head and sat up. Alcohol really isn't a good thing. It's fun to drink at the time, but the next day you regret drinking too much and feel uncomfortable all over.
He has only been drunk twice. The first time... the result after the first time getting drunk was not bad. After that time, he became a real man. This time...
"How come I vaguely remember seeing Tai Man before?" Yang Chen muttered as he got out of bed, took a bottle of cold water from the fridge and drank it down, feeling much more refreshed.
How did I get back last night?
Yang Chen is trying hard to remember, but he only remembers sending a few girls home, and can't recall anything else. Last night, he only drank a lot and didn't eat much. Yang Chen quickly washed up and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.
Arriving at the bun shop downstairs, I saw Tai Man inside.
Yang Chen quickly walked into the bun shop and sat across from Tai Man, "Boss, it's early on a weekend. Why aren't you sleeping in and getting up so early?"
Tai Man raised her head and glanced at Yang Chen without saying a word, then continued to eat the porridge in her bowl.
Yang Chen felt puzzled, wondering what he had said wrong to receive such a cold attitude from Tai Man. He called the boss over, ordered a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and two side dishes. "Boss, the side dishes at her place are good, you should try them too," he said.
Tai ManNo response, quickly finished the two mouthfuls of porridge at the bottom of the bowl, "Boss, how much is it?"
"Leader, if you have something to do, you can go first. I'll pay the bill together later."
Tai Man After paying for the meal, he said before leaving, "There should be many more people you need to treat, so keep the money to treat others."
Huh?!
What's wrong with her?
Early in the morning, she's being cold and speaking in a strange tone. Who else do I have to treat to a meal?
Yang Chen took a bite of a bun and suddenly widened his eyes. Could it be that Tai Man was referring to the fact that he treated the girls from the office of the secretary to a meal yesterday? But how did she know that he treated them to a meal?
Could it be... could it be that I really met Tai Man yesterday?
Yang Chen rubbed his head, but he couldn't remember. He quickly finished his breakfast, went upstairs, and instead of going home, he arrived at Tai Man's door.
The doorbell rang for a while before Tai Man came to open the door. Seeing that it was Yang Chen, he asked casually, "What's up?"
"Today is the weekend, I think if the leader doesn't have any plans, why not go shopping together? It would also be a deeper way to understand Hualin."
"No need!" Tai Man said as he tried to close the door.
Yang Chen reached out to hold the door, mustering up the courage to ask, "Leader, did we meet last night?"
"No, we didn't!"
Yang Chen saw the look of wanting to kill Tai Man in his eyes, as well as his desperate and angry tone, which made him more certain that they had met before. Could it be...?
Yang Chen widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Leader, did we... again last night?"
"What else?" Tai Man said, and then understood Yang Chen's meaning. He actually thought that the two of them had another incident like the first time they met. He kicked Yang Chen in the crotch and shouted, "What nonsense, last night I helped you to bed and then left!"
Clang...
Tai Man finished speaking and forcefully closed the door, leaving Yang Chen alone outside, holding his crotch in pain and disarray.
"Why did he send me home and get so angry? He almost crippled me!" Yang Chen muttered as he went upstairs and returned to his own room.
Tai Man Why so angry? Is it because you got jealous of yourself going out to dinner with a group of girls from the office of the secretary last night?
Yang Chen Got himself laughing at his own thoughts.
Tai Man is like a phoenix above the branches, while he is a local chicken in Hualin County, although he has just been promoted to a higher rank, there is still an unattainable distance between him and Tai Man, there will be no result between the two.
Phoenix, chicken?
Yang Chen felt that these two words sounded somewhat familiar; he seemed to have said something similar before, but he couldn't recall exactly when or to whom he had said it.
His head started to ache from thinking too much. Yang Chen decided not to dwell on it any longer and prepared to take another nap.
On the other side, Tai Man was mumbling at home, "What kind of person forgets what they said?"
But why did he care so much about what the other person had said? And why was he so angry? Could it be...
Tai Man shook her head like a tambourine, warning herself to calm down and stop overthinking. Sooner or later, she would leave Hualin; her future was not here.
She had come to Hualin just for work, to gain grassroots work experience.
......
Yang Chen woke up at noon, stretched lazily, and prepared to go out for a walk, buy himself a new set of clothes, and a pair of new shoes. He is now a senior official and the director of the government office, so he should dress more formally. Moreover, he has been running to the construction site of the Ling River Project recently, and the soles of his shoes are almost worn out, so it's time to get a new pair.
Yang Chen took a shower, went downstairs, and casually found a noodle shop to have lunch. Then he headed to the largest shopping mall in the downtown area of Hualin County. To his surprise, while he was strolling, he unexpectedly ran into Zhao Na and Wang Ji. Zhao Na was holding onto Wang Ji, who was carrying many shopping bags from the mall, indicating that they were also there for shopping.
Zhao Na and Wang Ji were chatting and laughing, but when they looked up and saw Yang Chen walking towards them, Zhao Na's expression immediately changed, looking as if she had just eaten something extremely unpleasant.
At this moment, Zhao Na really doesn't want to run into Yang Chen because Yang Chen is currently in high spirits. When they divorced, Yang Chen was clearly down and out, but after the divorce, he has been making great strides. He first became the chief secretary of the county, then the deputy director of the office, and in just a few months, he was promoted to a higher position and became the director of the office. This makes Zhao Na very uncomfortable.
In Zhao Na's opinion, Yang Chen should have been the one to experience a downfall after leaving her.
"Let's go over there again." Zhao Na didn't want to see Yang Chen's smug look, so she pulled Wang Ji and tried to avoid Yang Chen.
But Yang Chen took a few quick steps and greeted them, "Minister Wang, what a coincidence, you're also out for a stroll?"
Wang Ji just discovered Yang Chen, stopped in surprise as Yang Chen greeted him so warmly. Although he found it inexplicable, he still replied casually, "Yeah, just accompanying Nana for a walk."
In this round of appointments for Hualin County, Wang Ji was transferred to the Organization Department, promoted to deputy minister of the county Organization Department, and also received a promotion to a regular department head, just like Yang Chen, feeling quite pleased with himself. But Wang Ji has a County Party Secretary for a father, so it's not too surprising.
"Zhao Na, I was still thinking about having more time to guide you in your work. Why did you get transferred from our government office? Was it because you were unhappy at the government office?" teased Yang Chen with a disgusted expression.
Zhao Na had no intention of playing along with Yang Chen and directly pierced through, saying, " Yang Chen, stop pretending. Are you deliberately here to show off?"
