Chapter 222 Which man could refuse?
Lin Lao Er immediately went downstairs.
A colleague from the next dormitory called out to him, "Mr. Lin, are you still driving so late?"
"No, someone in my family is sick, so I'm going to the hospital to get checked out."
Seeing Lin Yunxing come downstairs to go to the motorcycle shed, his colleague upstairs called out again, "Go drive the county car, the boss won't be using it tonight."
Lin Yunxing didn't think much of it. After listening, he went straight to the parking lot, intending to drive the Passat in the county.
Previously, many logistics colleagues would do the same.
As soon as Lin Yunxing arrived at the parking lot, he remembered what Wu Maocai had said: "Keep a low profile and don't let those old foxes trick you."
He immediately turned back and chose to ride his own motorcycle again.
Driving a small car is definitely more comfortable and prestigious, but it can easily lead to trouble.
Those cars belong to the government and are for the leaders to use, not for him, the driver.
"Hey, why didn't you drive there?"
It's fine.
(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)
No leader would need a car at this hour.
His colleague upstairs tried again to guide him to drive.
Lin Yunxing pretended not to hear and rode away on his motorcycle.
The colleague upstairs curled his lip, his face immediately darkening: "Not stupid after all... What's with the arrogance? He's just good at sucking up, tch~"
As soon as the colleague on the second floor turned around, he saw someone standing behind him, with Director Liu from the logistics department glaring at him with a gloomy face.
"Master, Director..."
Director Liu went up and slapped the man on the head: "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you drivers use."
I pretend I don't know that he takes kickbacks from repair shops, inflates expenses, and makes money for himself.
If you're going to do it, then do it; don't drag other honest comrades down with you.
He lives his life, you live yours.
That's the man who saved County Magistrate Chen's life. If you mess with him and County Magistrate Chen finds out, he'll skin you alive!
Director Liu rubbed the man's forehead hard with his fingers, very angry, and spittle flew from his mouth as he cursed.
"You can die if you want, but don't drag me down with you."
If I find out again that you're targeting Lin Yunxing, I'll kick you out immediately.
The scheming colleague on the second floor was so scolded that he didn't dare to utter a sound.
He did want to drag Lin Yunxing into this, so that they would be on the same side.
Lin Yunxing never takes advantage of others, and those who do are worried that one day he will report them.
"Did you hear me!"
"Listen, we heard Director Liu... But even though he doesn't embezzle or take anything, we're still uneasy. We're just afraid he..."
Director Liu looked around and whispered, "Everyone, keep it down. The situation in Yuanshan County has changed. Can't you see? Do you still think it's like when Zhou Xiangzhang was in charge?"
……
Lin Lao Er rushed to the hospital.
When I arrived at the ward, I saw my older sister, Lin Qiufeng, feeding our mother rice porridge.
"Mom," Lin Yunxing said anxiously, sitting down beside the bed, "How are you?"
"It's nothing, I just got heatstroke this afternoon while turning over soil in the woods. The doctor in town prescribed some medicine, but your sister is still worried and insisted on bringing me here to see a doctor."
Lin Qiufeng wiped the sweat from her forehead and scolded, "You lied to me! Luckily, I checked before I went to bed."
"Sister, why don't we hire two workers to help? How can you and Mom manage to farm such a large area of mountain land?" Lin Yunxing suggested. "If we don't have enough money, I'll take out a loan. To start a business, you always need to invest."
"Yuanshan County and Wufeng County are now vigorously developing the navel orange industry, and the momentum is so good, we are not afraid to invest."
Lin Qiufeng put down her bowl and sighed, "Thank you, thank you."
You know what kind of personality Mom has.
She can't stay idle.
Lin Yunxing glanced at her mother angrily and said, "Then you deserve it."
After complaining, he even touched his mother's hand to see if she had a fever.
The old man chuckled, "Every little bit helps. Look at your sister, she's tanned like a piece of charcoal. What mother could bear to see that? Who could sit idly by and not help?"
"So what if it's black? I don't care anymore."
Lin's mother glared at her daughter: "You're not getting married, you're going to be an old maid."
"An old maid is a wife," Lin Qiufeng said defiantly.
The family couldn't continue their conversation.
The old man pulled up the blanket, lay on his side, and got angry.
Lin Yunxing waved to her sister, calling her downstairs for a chat.
The two sisters were taking a walk in the small garden behind the hospital.
My sister is getting older, and her marriage is a major concern for our family.
I'm 32 and I've never even been in a relationship.
"Sis, you can't go on like this. In a few years, nobody will want you."
"I don't want them. Who says a woman has to get married? A woman can live a good life on her own. Right now, I just want to focus on my career."
Lin Yunxing shook her head. Her sister wasn't focused on her career; she was simply unable to attract men, which forced her to pursue a career.
"A woman is a woman after all."
How can one live without getting married and starting a family?
It's impossible for you and Dawei to be together.
Don't think about him anymore.
Lin Qiufeng said stubbornly, "It has nothing to do with him. Look at those successful women, many of them are still unmarried. I just want to focus on my career and don't want to get married."
"You haven't forgotten Dawei."
"..."
Lin Qiufeng fell silent for a moment, not wanting to reveal the secret in her heart; she did indeed have someone hidden in her heart.
She loves David, but she's afraid to face it.
The gap between the two is too large.
Not all the way.
Seeing her sister's sadness, Lin Yunxing felt distressed as well and sat down on the stone bench: "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Dawei's affair with a woman..."
Lin Yunxing recounted what she had seen that day in Guangzhou, under the overpass, where she and Director Wu were witnessing Dawei and Ding Tingting being intimate in their car.
David has his goals.
He's now only focused on climbing the ranks.
He won't be nice to you.
Sister, don't wait for him anymore.
"If you do this, you'll suffer, and he'll suffer too."
Lin Qiufeng lowered her head, and two tears fell down her cheeks: "I really didn't wait for him. I congratulated him."
I just don't want him to look down on me, so I also need to work hard and make something of myself.
He didn't love the woman; he loved her status.
Like David, we come from humble beginnings. I understand him, and I don't resent him.
In fact, Lin Qiufeng had a deep-seated obsession, which she didn't explicitly state.
She also hopes that one day she can earn David's respect.
She wanted to be an outstanding woman, a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with David.
Lin Yunxing scratched her head, thinking that her sister's love-struck mind was incurable.
Thinking about it carefully, what my sister said makes some sense.
Seeing his sister's pitiful state, he tried to comfort her.
"However, to be honest, David actually values you more."
You see, he can be intimate with any woman he wants, but he's always been very respectful to you.
He's afraid of hurting you.
I think I understand him; I can see the tenderness he feels for you in his eyes.
He just needs a stronger woman to help him.
If he didn't have feelings for you, he would have made a move on you long ago. You've clearly shown interest in him; it's like meat being offered to him—what man could refuse that?
Lin Qiufeng pinched her brother's arm hard: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
After scolding him, I felt a sweet feeling in my heart, and my face turned red.
……
Interrogation room in the detention center.
Zheng Zhiguo, who had just finished showering, walked into the interrogation room carrying a freshly brewed cup of tea.
It's nice and cool inside with the air conditioning on.
Xiao Yanfang, who was standing to the side, smelled the shower gel on Zheng Zhiguo's body and couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.
Men with power and ability are undeniably charming...
"Young Master Zhou, how are you finding this place?"
Zheng Zhiguo didn't notice Xiao Yanfang's look and joked as he looked at Zhou Dongliang behind bars.
