  At this time, encountering Deputy Director Gao was a pleasure, but towards Tian Liang, he couldn't muster up much enthusiasm. There were many people and things that weren't something he didn't dare to face, but rather something she didn't know how to face.

  Li Yajuan hastily whispered: "He's going to be transferred, let's be polite."

  Xiang Tianliang was taken aback for a moment, and before the New Year's Eve rumors became reality so quickly.

  Happiness and hard work are different, hard work is a shooting star that has passed, it's gone when it's gone, while happiness is still a star hanging in the sky, who knows when you'll run into him again. You have to be respectful and courteous, can't be lazy, otherwise, what if he becomes your superior again in the future? Wouldn't that be a never-ending headache?

  After a festive-like cold hum, Gao Xing nodded in agreement and got into his car with excitement.

  "Congratulations, Mr. Gao!" Xiang Tianliang said with a smile, seeing the happy look on his face, he took the initiative to take the lead.

  "Wow, you're quite well-informed!" A smile also appeared on his excited face as he glanced at Li Yajuan beside him and said, "This is news leaked from the Organization Department, it hasn't even been printed on paper yet. You must have told her, Yajuan."

  Xiang Tianliang nodded, "Look at what you're saying, these days are not like the past. Red-headed documents are not as quick and accurate as small rumors. As long as it's a matter of spreading small rumors, generally they're true."

  "Haha, these few months, you haven't been idle, have you?"

  These past few months haven't been wasted, this was an unspoken understanding between them, and they both smiled.

  Indeed, this storm triggered by the theft from the Director's office is a true life lesson for Xiang Tianliang, surpassing the dozens of years he spent studying.

  It's clear that he's really happy and has regained his usual cheerful demeanor.

  Everyone in the Construction Bureau knows that his greatest wish is not to be the director, but to leave the Construction Bureau and seek a higher position elsewhere. He once said at a party small group meeting that as long as he can go to another unit for training, even if it's just as a deputy section-level cadre at the bottom of the list, he would be willing.

  Perhaps that's why the old director gradually distanced himself from him. A person with two hearts can't win the trust of his leader.

  Saying "congratulations" to Tian Liang is hitting the nail on the head, no matter whether his new position is a promotion or a lateral move, he will be happy anyway, and it's also catering to his taste.

  "Director Gao, where are you going this time? Is it another department or a county below?" Xiang Tianliang asked respectfully.

  "It's almost settled, yesterday when I went to the home of Yu Deputy Director of the Municipal Organization Department to pay New Year's greetings, he revealed some information. Originally, I was arranged to go to Jiumen County as the Executive Vice Mayor, but later Mayor Chen Guohua insisted on his opinion and it happened that there was a vacancy in the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, so he nominated me as the Party Secretary of the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau and Acting Director, waiting for the municipal people's congress to convene before being formally appointed."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Director Gao, this is a great joy for you. You'll have to treat us one day."

  Delighted and smiling, he nodded, "Xiao Xiang, no matter what, this time we were able to turn a disaster into a blessing, all thanks to you."

  "Director Gao, you're saying this, making me feel ashamed. I've caused you a lot of trouble, and Sister Li has scolded me several times." Thinking about the small actions he had done behind people's backs, Xiang Tianliang felt very embarrassed and immediately put on an expression of deep regret.

  "Really, you don't have to apologize. Everyone understands that according to the unwritten rules of personnel arrangement, no matter how things are manipulated, a new director of the Construction Bureau will not be produced locally. The top will definitely send someone new. It's been many years since the Construction Bureau last brought in cadres from outside, which is very abnormal. The top will certainly consider sending new comrades, so it has nothing to do with you. Everyone is actually confused and knows that something can't be done but does it anyway. You just accelerated the pace of things."

  "But I have done some things that wronged you, and I want to apologize." Tian Liang said with great sincerity.

  "Happy New Year! Why bring up past matters? If you keep nagging, I won't be happy anymore."

  He let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "This is just a fake apology."

  "Gao Bureau, Wang Ying, he didn't scold me after going back last night, did he?" Xiang Tianliang started to shift the topic.

  Delighted, she burst out laughing, "Haha... did he scold you? Does he dare to scold you? He can't even praise you enough."

  "Is it? Last night was a bit chilly, I had him freeze in the water for over an hour."

  "With his body, can he be frozen to death?" He said with a smile, "You know, after last night's encounter, this old man has thoroughly surrendered."

  Gao Xing and Jiao Chun, a couple, went to visit Lao Chenggui. Towards dawn, they also accompanied Li Ya Juan back home, returning to Li Ya Juan's house.

  On the way, Li Yajuan explained in detail, and it wasn't until dawn that he understood. He was thrilled to learn that this time he had been promoted because his brain had really opened up.

  It's a pleasure to see the growth of hard work and honesty. Having been under the big tree for a long time, it's inevitable that one would not think about making progress. Under the Chinese bayberry tree, one picks Chinese bayberries.

  But later, Labour's big tree could no longer be relied upon, and happily remembered to find a new reliance, which was too naive. The interpersonal relationships in the officialdom are based on thick accumulation and thin release, accumulating little by little, Rome wasn't built in a day, temporarily hugging Buddha's feet, but also hugging stinky feet.

  The one who was overjoyed and hugged the smelly foot was Zhang Haifeng, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. On that night in Zhangjiatun, even if Xiang Tianliang had not made a sneak attack from behind, puncturing the tires of several other opponents' cars, which made Zhang Haifeng lose face, he still would not have accepted and reused the tape recorder carefully prepared by Xiang Tianliang. In fact, it was a double-edged sword that harmed both Xie Zixu and Yu Feilong, as well as Gaoxing.

  No way out, had to think of a solution, after thinking hard for a long time, only one road can be taken, go find Mayor Chen Guohua.

  Chen Guohua and Lao Chenggui have a very close relationship. A few years ago, when Chen Guohua first came to Qinghe City, he was unstable and many people wanted to get rid of him as an outsider. However, it was thanks to the help of several local powerful figures that he was able to establish himself in Qinghe, with Lao Chenggui being one of them who made significant contributions. From then on, Chen Guohua and Lao Chenggui's relationship became unbreakable.

  If it weren't for Lao Chenggui's relatively old age and low cultural level at the time, Chen Guohua would have promoted him to vice mayor long ago.

  Bypassing Lao Chenggui and going directly to Chen Guohua was taking a considerable political risk, but Gao was still determined to take the gamble, and he won.

  After listening to Li Yajuan's narrative, Xiang Tianliang said with emotion: "I am happy for him, he should have gone up, otherwise, is there still justice in the world?"

  "You, then why are you still blaming him? He was so angry that he even scolded me in front of you." Li Yajuan said with a smile.

  "Haha, this guy, I don't dislike him, but I'm not particularly fond of him either. If he wants me to help him with something, shouldn't he give me some benefits? He doesn't give me any benefits, how can I wholeheartedly help him?"

  "Kokoro, you've changed."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Have I changed? Why don't I feel it myself?"

  "You've become bad."

  After a moment of silence, Xiang Tianliang said: "Teacher Liu and Teacher Xu both said that if you want to make a name for yourself in the officialdom, you must be good at learning evil, becoming evil, and making evil. Only by being more evil than bad people can you defeat all the bad people."

  "Two teachers are right." Li Yajuan nodded and asked, "By the way, what did Lauchenggui just say to you?"

  Xiang Tianliang didn't answer immediately, but instead turned his head and took a glance at Li Yajuan, then asked in return: "You really want to know?"

  "You promised me, and also, what are those secrets of yours that I don't know about."

  "Hehe, don't regret it later, Sister Li."

  "Say it or don't say it, I won't ask again." Li Yajuan pretended to be angry and turned her head away.

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and stepped on the accelerator, driving too fast.

  Arriving at Li Yajuan's home, Li Yajuan still had a straight face. The little woman's temper was fully on display as she pulled Tianliang over and sat him down on the sofa, pinching his nose and teasingly saying: "You're really angry, huh."

  "You didn't take me as one of your own." Li Yajuan scolded, and with a hug from Xiang Tianliang, her slight displeasure was gone.

  Gently stroking that plump butt, he whispered to Li Jie, "Today is a good day, I think it's better to take care of that matter first before talking about this matter."

  "What's the point of doing things first and then talking about them?" Li Yajuan was taken aback for a moment.

  Xiang Tianliang pinched Li Yajuan's chest again and said, "Stupid woman, didn't you want to?"

  Li Ya-jiao suddenly understood, "Really, really can?" Overjoyed, her voice began to tremble.

  "Ah, really can."

  "What about your qigong?"

  "Heh heh, go back to your cave and keep practicing."

  "Bad......" Li Ya-jun's breathing became coarser.

  Stretching out his hand towards Tian Liang, he patted Li Yajuan's butt and said with a sly smile: "Sister Li, go wash it clean for me."

  Then he turned on the air conditioner.

  Soon, Li Yajuan came out of the bathroom, wearing only a thin bathrobe, with nothing underneath. Her curvaceous body was like a water lily, stunningly beautiful.

  But seeing Li Yajuan's appearance, she was stunned at once.

  It turned out that Xiang Tianliang, who was impatient, had already removed all his armor, and the frightening guy had been waiting in ambush.

  He needs to vent, to exhaust the power that he has not used on Liu Qingqing, and he also needs to review and consolidate his experience as a man.

  He couldn't care about anything else, reached out and pulled Li Ya over. He tightly pressed her under his body, she was a bit flustered but didn't dare use force, a smooth warmth made Tian Liang's whole body tremble, it seemed like she had been longing for him**, but was also frightened by his sudden movement, wanting to speak to stop him but trembling and unable to make a sound, her two hands were frantically scratching at his chest but kept grasping at nothing.

  This further stirred his primal instincts, and with both hands he kneaded her high, soft breasts, pressing his mouth to her sensual lips, forcing her to start responding eagerly.

  Her spirit at this time is even more charming and moving, her small mouth slightly open, red lips and white teeth, full of sensuality, her beautiful eyes filled with melancholy, making people's hearts relax and yearn.

  He charged in bravely...
