Chapter 104: Honey, I was wrong
Translator: 549690339
The governnt was like the business world was like the battlefield. There were no eternal friends. To put it bluntly, most people were doing it for benefits and power. Being an official was sotis an art. It was a contest of wisdom and ans.
On this smoke-free battlefield, no one was your comrade. No one would always be on your side. Perhaps they had helped you before, but that help was only to make use of you and create more favorable conditions for themselves. Therefore, there was no such thing as forever helping in the officialdom. When you were of no value to soone, and your identity began to threaten soone’s interests, that would be the ti for that person to attack you.
When su Yicheng was called to Ling Chuanjiang’s office, su Yicheng had a faint premonition. Although he wasn’t sure, the feeling was very strong.
Knock, knock, knock. &Quot; Su Yicheng knocked on the door and heard a slightly stern voice from inside. &Quot; co in. &Quot;
Only then did su Yicheng push the door open, close the office door, and walk over to the man sitting behind the big desk. He said in a deep voice, ” “Mayor Ling, you were looking for ?”
Only then did Ling Chuanjiang raise his head, look at him, and nod at him. &Quot; have a seat. &Quot; He gestured for him to sit down on the chair in front of his desk.
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything more. He nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down on the swivel chair.
Ling Chuanjiang thought about putting down the docunts in his hands, then took off the thick-bottom glasses on his nose bridge. He leaned back in his chair and asked indifferently, ” “Yicheng, How long have you been working under ?”
&Quot; three years and five months. &Quot; Su Yicheng replied indifferently. His tone was flat, and there was no emotion in it.
Ling Chuanjiang nodded and said with so emotion, ” &Quot; ti really flies. When you first joined the work, you represented a prefecture-level County to make a report to the municipal Party Committee. At that ti, you were still ignorant and didn’t know anything. Now, you can take charge of things on your own and have your own achievents in political achievents. I think you won’t need to wait for to retire before your actions are above mine. &Quot; Looking at him, Ling Chuanjiang’s eyes seed to have a deeper aning.
“Mayor Ling, you’re too kind. We’ll stick to the mayor’s decision.” Su Yicheng replied indifferently, looking straight into his eyes with an open expression.
Ling Chuanjiang shook his head with a half-smile and said with a slightly emotional tone, ” &Quot; back then, I thought that you and Ling LAN would get married. You’ve always been my dream son-in-law candidate. Even after Ling LAN left, this thought never left my mind. &Quot; Then, she smiled helplessly. &Quot; it’s just, it’s just that I didn’t expect things to develop like this. &Quot;
“The world is unpredictable.” Su Yicheng said lightly, his expression neither sad nor happy, and his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
......
Ling Chuanjiang nodded and sighed with emotion, ” indeed, things are hard to predict! &Quot; He then shook his head and said,”forget it, let’s not talk about this.” &Nbsp; He sat up straight again, took the glasses from the table, and put them on again. He said,”The docunts from the provincial Office have been sent out, and your appointnt has been handed to yesterday. It has been confird that you will be the ‘mayor of Technology City. The day after tomorrow, we’ll hold your inauguration eting and the launch ceremony of the technology City plan at the municipal Party Committee.” As she spoke, she handed him the docunt on the table. &Quot; take a look. &Quot;
Su Yicheng took it, and it was his appointnt docunt. From now on, he would be promoted from assistant Mayor to the position of ” mayor of Construction ” of Technology City. His position was equivalent to the Deputy Mayor of Jiangcheng, and he was the legitimate second in command!
Ling Chuanjiang looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ” “In the future, it will be the world of you young people. We old people should step down.”
Su Yicheng stared at him for a long ti, but he didn’t speak.
When su Yicheng returned ho, he saw Anran sitting in the living room, mumbling that it was almost enough to hang an oil bottle. On the low table in front of her was a piece of A4 paper. It was clearly the ‘husband and wife agreent’ that she had specially printed out before, but the contents had been slightly altered.
When su Yicheng saw this, he naturally understood. He put down his briefcase with a faint smile and sat down beside her. He reached out to hold Anran, but she slapped his hand away. He turned around and looked at him coldly. He pointed at the ‘husband and wife agreent’ on the low table and said,”Can you explain what’s going on?”
Su Yicheng subconsciously touched his nose with a faint smile and called out softly, ” wifey. &Quot; He went forward and hugged her, refusing to let go no matter how she hit him. He said with so grievance, ” “Wife, if we follow your agreent, I’ll be bored to death.”
Anran stared at him. He was still in the right! She pushed him away, put her hands on her waist, and said, ” you’re quibbling! &Quot; Then, he reached out and picked up the agreent on the low table. He pointed to the extra ‘rest’ word on the work table and said, ” &Quot; tell , how did you add it? your behavior is a lie, a malicious lie! &Quot;
Su Yicheng looked at the word ‘rest’ that he had added. Naturally, he wouldn’t tell her that he had deliberately added it when she wasn’t paying attention back then. He smiled apologetically and said, ” wifey, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you. &Quot;
“Don’t try to change the topic!” Anran looked at her coldly and refused to back down. She had to get an answer today. Otherwise, she would be tricked by him every day!
Su Yicheng sighed, knowing that he couldn’t avoid this today. He looked at Anran and said with so resentnt, ” “Wife, if you really do it once a week as stated in the agreent, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be bored to death?”
He said it so bluntly that Anran’s face imdiately heated up. Because the temperature on her face rose, her fair little face also turned red. She cursed in a low voice, ” damn pervert. &Quot; He turned his face away in a Huff.
Upon seeing this, su Yicheng ca up to her and hugged her from behind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said, ” &Quot; wife, you’re not really that cruel to suffocate , are you? you’ll lose a lot of benefits if you do that. &Quot;
Anran felt even more embarrassed and embarrassed after hearing what he said. She was already thin-skinned to begin with, and she found it even harder to speak about these things. She pushed him away with force, and her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. She stood up imdiately, looked at him with hatred, and said, ” &Quot; sleep in the guest room tonight. Don’t get on my bed. Let’s see if I can suffocate you! &Quot; After she finished speaking, she stood up with a red face and walked towards the master bedroom without looking back. She slamd the door shut with a loud bang.
Su Yicheng stared at the closed door for a long ti before he ca back to his senses and laughed. He thought that she was just acting in a fit of pique and that it would be fine after so coaxing. She got up and knocked on the tightly shut door. &Quot; Anran, open the door. I’ll admit my mistake, okay? ”
He didn’t see anyone open the door for a long ti. When he raised his hand to knock again, the door opened, but before su Yicheng could react, soone suddenly stuffed a bunch of things into his hand, and he heard her quickly say, ” for you! &Quot; Then, before he could figure out what was going on and what was in his hand, the door slamd shut again, blocking him outside.
Su Yicheng was in a daze for a long ti before he ca back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he was holding his own change of clothes and pajamas in his hands. Looking at this scene, su Yicheng had no choice but to admit that Anran was serious, and he had really been kicked out of the room by his wife!
The next day, Anran rushed out of the room with her neck twisted. In the kitchen, su Yicheng was busy preparing breakfast for the two of them. When he saw her open the door, he said with a smile, ” “Have a seat. Breakfast will be ready soon.” As he said that, he turned back to pick up the spatula and started boiling the vegetables in his hands.
In less than a minute, the half-cooked poached egg in the pan was beaten out of the pan and placed on the two’s plates. Then, he turned around to pour her a glass of milk. “Co, eat it while it’s hot.”
Sitting on the high chair, an ran pouted, her brows tightly furrowed, and she pinched her sore neck with one hand. Getting used to things was really scary. It had only been a short while, but she was still not used to not being able to fall asleep without him by her side. Furthermore, she did not sleep on his arm. This morning, she tragically realized that she had a pillow!
Su Yicheng noticed her discomfort and put down the knife and fork in his hand. He attentively stepped forward to massage her sore neck and asked softly, ” how is it? do you feel better now? ”
Anran didn’t say anything, but the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, betraying her current mood.
Su Yicheng naturally caught a glimpse of the smile at the corner of her mouth, but he didn’t ask any questions and continued to massage her with his hands.
She looked at the ti. Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to make it to work later, she avoided him and deliberately said in a stiff tone, ” eat breakfast! Don’t bla for wasting your ti if you’re late.”
Su Yicheng laughed, and when he heard this, he returned to his seat, looked at her, and ate in big mouthfuls.
Anran was really angry this ti. Before su Yicheng went to work, he wanted to hug her and kiss her goodbye, but she avoided him. She glanced at him, then turned around and went back to her room. Su Yicheng touched his nose in boredom. This ti, he seed to have lost. Anran’s temper was bigger than he had imagined, and coaxing her didn’t seem to work.
Su Yicheng was actually a little busy that day. Tomorrow was his inauguration eting, and it was also the day that Technology City would be officially implented, so he had several materials to prepare today and a speech for tomorrow. In addition, because the project for Technology City would be officially launched tomorrow, all kinds of bidding would also begin, so he would probably be very busy for a long ti. This was also the price he had to pay to get from one position to another.
Knock, knock, knock. &Quot; Secretary Zheng knocked on the door and ca in with the information that su Yicheng had just asked him to prepare. He respectfully handed it over and said, ” “City assistant su, this is the information you wanted.”
Su Yicheng reached out to take it, and just as Secretary Zheng was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly called out to him, ” Secretary Zheng, wait a mont. &Quot;
Secretary Zheng turned around, looked at him, and asked, ” “What other instructions does the city assistant have?” They looked like they were waiting for orders.
Su Yicheng recalled how awkward the little woman in the house was this morning, and he didn’t want to sleep in the guest room again tonight. Compared to the slightly cold room in the guest room, he still felt that holding her would make him feel more secure.
“Ahem.” Su Yicheng coughed lightly and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn’t have any experience in this kind of thing. However, for the sake of his own welfare at night, he still asked a little awkwardly, ” “Secretary Zheng, you have a girlfriend, right?” He rembered that Secretary Zheng had been working for him for more than three years. Ever since he transferred Secretary Zheng to be the mayor’s Special Assistant, he had been his Secretary. He rembered that he had told him that he had a girlfriend.
“Uh,” Secretary Zheng had thought that he had sothing to tell him about work, but he didn’t expect him to ask such a personal question. He was stunned for a while before he nodded and replied, ” &Quot; yes, I do. Is there a problem? ” It can’t be that there’s a new rule that states that one can’t have a girlfriend at work!
&Quot; then, did you have any conflicts with each other? ” Su Yicheng asked. He was going to learn from Secretary Zheng.
“Well, after being together for a long ti, there will be so friction.” Although Secretary Zhen didn’t understand why he asked that, he still told him the truth.
“Then what would you do?” Su Yicheng looked at him and asked anxiously. What to do was the key question he wanted to ask today!
Secretary Zheng was not stupid. He looked at him and asked tentatively, ” “Special Assistant su, did you have a conflict with Madam?” Otherwise, why would he ask him all these questions? However, he was a little curious. Special Assistant su was so gentle and elegant, always smiling on his face, and his character was always gentle and considerate. Why would such a man have a conflict with his wife?
Su Yicheng was a little choked by his words. &Quot; cough, cough. &Quot; He coughed a few tis and said,”yes, I guess so.” Tell , what would you normally do in such a situation?”
Secretary Zhen tried not to laugh out loud and said with a serious face, ” “That depends on whose fault it is. If it’s your fault, then the first thing you need to do is apologize.”
“Apologize?” It didn’t seem to work! Su Yicheng thought to himself.
&Quot; by the way, apologizing to a lover is also a kind of knowledge. There are ways to do it. &Quot; Secretary Zheng seed to be quite experienced. He pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down. “Won are all petty animals. No matter who’s right or wrong, in their vocabulary, the one in the wrong is always the other party, and they are always right. Therefore, it was important to take the initiative to admit to her mistakes. In addition, won were also people who loved romance. If you gave them a bouquet of beautiful roses when you apologized, all their attention would be attracted to the bouquet in their hands, and they would accept your apology more easily. Of course, after you give her the flowers, you must take her out for a good al, to a more romantic western restaurant, and then have a candlelight dinner for the two of them with so red wine. That would be perfect, and they would forget all the unhappiness that night.” Secretary Zheng said in a matter-of-fact manner, as if it was the sa thing.
“Then according to what you said, I have to buy flowers first when I go back tonight?” Su Yicheng asked.
&Quot; yes, choose what she likes. Otherwise, if we choose what she doesn’t like, then we’ll have worked for nothing. &Quot; Secretary Zheng said.
Su Yicheng nodded and muttered to himself in a low voice, ” “So there’s such a thing as an apology.” He suddenly thought of a question. He looked up at Secretary Zheng and asked, ” “Secretary Zheng, do you often make mistakes?” Otherwise, how could he have such a deep understanding of it?
Secretary Zheng was a little unnatural and said with a little guilty conscience, ” &Quot; well, no matter who’s at fault, it’s a man’s fault. As a man, you should be more magnanimous and not be too calculative. &Quot;
Su Yicheng looked at him, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
After all the apology tips were taught, Secretary Zheng looked at him curiously and asked, ” “By the way, Special Assistant, what’s the conflict between you two?” He had always felt that although su Yicheng’s marriage had started in a very hasty manner, judging from his attitude toward his wife, he could tell that they got along quite well. Moreover, he seed to really love his wife, as he used to pick her up to work almost every day.
Su Yicheng was still thinking about Secretary Zheng’s apology. When he heard that, he looked up at him and said with a faint smile, ” “Are you very free? If you’re free, I don’t mind giving you more work.”
Secretary Zheng felt a chill run down his spine. Su Yicheng was clearly smiling when he spoke to him, but he always felt that he was scarier this way than when he was serious. He quickly waved his hand and said, ” “I, I still have a few ingredients that I haven’t finished. I, I’ll go out first.” Before he could respond, she quickly ran out of his office.
Su Yicheng, who was sitting behind his desk, curled his lips into a faint smile as he carefully pondered the so-called apology thod that Secretary Zheng had just taught him.
At night, after work, su Yicheng decided to listen to Secretary Zheng’s three steps of apology. He drove to the flower shop at the corner of the street and asked the waiter to book a bouquet of the most beautiful roses. As he strolled around the flower shop, he happened to see so interesting cards on the counter, so he asked the waiter to take one out, took a pen, and seriously wrote sothing on the card.
This was the second ti he had walked down the street with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. The last ti was seven years ago when he was preparing to propose to Ling LAN. He had prepared a diamond ring for the proposal under ye Ziwen’s suggestion and had even specially bought a bouquet of flowers. However, even though that was the case, he still felt extrely awkward walking down the street with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms. There had been a few tis when he had the urge to stuff the flowers into ye Ziwen’s arms. But for so reason, this ti, he actually felt a sense of joy. He was looking forward to Anran crying when she saw him holding the flowers in front of her. Or would he smile?
Just as su Yicheng was about to reach the parking space, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and almost knocked over the flowers in his hand. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough and dodged quickly enough to avoid it. However, although he managed to avoid it, the person still accidentally knocked over the flowers, and the card in the middle of the flowers was unfortunately knocked down.
When su Yicheng saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn’t help but frown. &Quot; yijiao! &Quot;
Su yijiao looked up, her face still covered in tears. She was surprised to see su Yicheng. &Quot; brother! &Quot;
“What’s wrong with you? Are you crying?” Su Yicheng didn’t miss the tears that had yet to dry on her face.
“Uh,” Su yijiao was stunned. She quickly wiped the tears off her face and explained with a dry smile, ” “No, no, the sand just got into my eyes.”
Su Yicheng naturally knew how la her excuse was, but since she didn’t want to say it, he naturally wouldn’t force her. He only asked lightly, ” “Are you alright?” His voice wasn’t high, but his tone was filled with concern.
Afraid that he would worry about her, su yijiao put on a big smile and said in a clear voice, ” “I’m fine, I’ll be fine in a while!”
Su Yicheng nodded and reached out to stroke her head affectionately.
It was only then that su yijiao noticed the big bouquet of roses in his hand, and she asked curiously, ” “Brother, such a big bouquet of roses. Is today your and sister-in-law’s anniversary?”
Su Yicheng was a little uncomfortable, and he pursed his lips, nodded, and said, ” “Yes, it’s an anniversary.” Compared to this, it was better than letting his sister know that he had annoyed his sister-in-law and was now preparing to apologize!
Su yijiao looked at him with a slightly novel expression and said with a smile, ” “I really couldn’t tell. Brother, when did you beco so romantic?”
Su Yicheng unceremoniously smacked her on the head and said in a bad mood, ” “You’re so rude.” He raised his hand to look at the ti and said, ” &Quot; alright, I’ll be leaving first. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for at ho. &Quot;
Su Yicheng winked at him suggestively and said, ” try your best. Not only is mom waiting to hold her eldest grandson, but I’m also waiting to be an aunt. &Quot;
Su Yicheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn’t answer her. Instead, he turned around and walked toward the car that was parked a few steps away.
“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed out loud. When he turned around and was about to leave, he happened to catch a glimpse of the card that had fallen on the ground. He reached out to pick it up and flipped it open. She could recognize the words on the card-it was her brother’s, but the contents of the card made her eyes widen.
“I’m sorry, wifey!”
When su Yicheng returned ho with the flowers in his arms, he saw that the living room was empty. He changed his shoes and entered the house, calling out softly as he walked, ” “An ran?”
Hearing his voice, Anran ca out of the study. She was dressed in ho clothes, and her hair was let down. When she saw him co in with a large bouquet of flowers, she didn’t look too surprised or surprised. She only looked at him with a faint smile, as if she had known he would co back with flowers.
Su Yicheng walked over to her with the flowers in his arms. He was just about to say the apology he had prepared all along the way, but she beat him to it.
“Are the flowers for ?” An ran asked lightly, and the smile on her lips was also very faint.
Su Yicheng nodded and was about to say, ” that ran ran. &Quot;
Anran reached out to take the flower from his hand and said, ” “Thank you, it’s very beautiful.” After that, she deliberately looked around the bouquet, but found nothing. She looked up at him and asked, ” “Where are the cards?”
“Uh,” Su Yicheng was stunned for a mont. He stepped forward to look at the bouquet, and the card he had specially put on it was indeed gone. However, he suddenly thought of sothing and looked up at Anran. He asked in confusion, ” how did you know? ” She seed to have known everything about him, so she was not surprised or surprised at all.
Anran glanced at him, then sat down on the sofa with the flowers in her arms and said, ” &Quot; mom just called and asked if we had a fight. She said you bought a big bouquet and wrote a card on it to apologize to . &Quot;
&Quot; how could mom be unconscious? ” she suddenly rembered that she had bumped into yijiao on the way back, and then everything beca clear. She guessed that she had dropped her card at that ti, and yijiao had picked it up and told her mother about it!
Looking at Anran, who was sitting on the sofa with a bouquet of flowers in her hands, su Yicheng sat down next to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a playful smile, ” “Honey, don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
Anran glanced at him and slapped away his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and said slyly, ” &Quot; no card. We don’t accept apologies. &Quot; With that said, he stood up and left with the bouquet.
