Chapter 264 Taking the Initiative
Chapter 264 Taking the Initiative
"Hmph~"
Chen Dawei!
You kept me up at night in the past, this time, I'll make sure you don't sleep well either.
"You've made me so miserable I can't even eat anymore. This time, I'll show you what it's like."
Tingting pouted, angrily drew the curtains, went back to bed, and started listening to a novel.
That really is a ghost story.
I turned on the light, covered my head with the blanket, and listened.
He's both terrible at the game and loves to play.
Meanwhile, David was driving on the road, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Was this girl doing it on purpose?
In the restaurant, when there were many people, he even kissed me.
He's openly flirting with me.
I took a shower as soon as I got to the hotel.
Afterwards, they even let me rummage through the box and I saw all those pretty little things...
In the end, after discussing some serious business, they let me leave?
Are you no longer afraid of ghosts?
It was definitely intentional!
David was furious just thinking about it; he'd been tricked by that girl.
But then I thought again.
This seems better.
If Tingting had really done something like that night under the bridge, it would have been hard to control.
That night, we were in the car, outdoors, so there were definitely many things we couldn't do. We were all respectable people, not dissolute playboys like Wu Maocai.
But tonight I'm in a suite at a five-star hotel.
All the conditions for an "accident" to occur have been met.
If they were to hug and kiss like that night, when two young people get excited, who could resist?
Now that things are done, how should I explain this to Tingting?
How should I explain this to her parents?
How should we explain this to Xu Aiguo?
They might get married soon.
Tingting's parents will never let her off easily.
After getting out of the car, Dawei sat under a tree in the community for a while, lighting a cigarette and smoking slowly.
"Little brat."
They're trying to play tricks on me.
It seems... you've found a think tank and are starting to use some tricks.
Ha ha……
"This is getting interesting."
David, on the contrary, relaxed a lot.
Having resolved the conflict with Xu Aiguo, their relationship returned to normal.
Ding Tingting took the initiative immediately afterward, and all the guilt I felt towards Tingting in the past vanished.
So it's easy.
Otherwise, despite Ding Tingting's constant help and support for him and Yuanshan County, and her proactive pursuit of him with gifts, Dawei couldn't give her any promises, leaving him feeling guilty and burdened with a heavy responsibility.
Now that Tingting has changed her mind and taken the initiative, Dawei simply goes along with her wishes to make her happy.
This caused their relationship to stabilize for a period of time.
This will greatly help the development of Yuanshan County.
In particular, the Yuanshan Fruit Industry and the expressway projects both need Tingting as a bridge to connect with the provincial capital.
Even though Dawei clearly saw through Tingting's little scheme, he wasn't angry. Instead, he found Tingting very cute, which suited the girl's personality.
So Dawei continued his performance and sent Tingting a message.
"Tingting."
If you're scared at night, don't listen to ghost stories.
If you really want to hear it, but are afraid you won't be able to sleep, you can call me and I'll talk to you.
"If I'm really scared, I can come over to your place and sleep on the floor, it's no big deal."
Dawei transformed into a fish and took the bait.
As the saying goes, the true hunter often appears in the form of the prey.
Tingting wasn't asleep either, and she was even more smug after seeing the text message.
Huh, sample.
Indeed, you shouldn't be too nice to men, and you shouldn't be too proactive.
Ye Chugao's insight is brilliant!
It's so accurate every time that it makes you feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
As per Director Ye's instructions, we shouldn't talk any more during this part; it's best not to reply at all—this is called "playing the fish."
Tingting put her phone aside and continued listening to the novel.
David waited a few minutes, and seeing that the other party hadn't replied, he smirked slightly: "How interesting."
He went upstairs, took a hot shower, and fell into a deep sleep.
Dawei's personality is shaped by life, forged in the crucible of work, and tempered by the treacherous nature of humanity.
To outsiders, he speaks slowly and acts with a steady and methodical manner.
He seems very easygoing and approachable.
He was extremely sincere, so sincere that he seemed a little dim-witted.
In fact, he has a very clear understanding of people and things.
However, most people can't appreciate his sincerity and think he's stupid.
Nobody knows he's more cunning than anyone else...
The next day was sunny and bright.
Tingting got ready and went out, wearing a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts, looking very refreshing.
Lin Yunxing was waiting at the hotel entrance.
"Huh? Why isn't David here?"
"Miss Ding, County Chief Chen asked me to pick you up for breakfast. He has already gone to his office and has urgent business to attend to."
"oh--"
Tingting drew out her words, sounding somewhat disappointed.
Logically, Dawei should have been so anxious and worried about her last night that he couldn't sleep. He should have come to the hotel this morning to knock on the door and see if he could get intimate with her.
Why didn't Dawei come?
What urgent matters need to be handled on the weekend?
Could it be that we've gone too far?
Did you misjudge the timing of the "playing hard to get" maneuver, and instead let the person escape by overdoing it?
Tingting sat in the back seat of the Passat, scratched her cheek and became a little worried. She quickly sent a message to Director Ye of the Agriculture Department for advice.
"Sisters, what do we do?!"
"Little sister, you've met a master."
"?"
The other party was probably busy and didn't reply, so Tingting didn't feel comfortable calling them, since the driver was there.
Seeing that she had finished her work, Lin Yunxing glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss Ding, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"I don't quite understand. Does County Chief Chen have any recommendations?"
"He recommends you try our local pickled noodles; they're quite good."
"Okay, let's go try it."
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Tingting felt more at ease, which meant that Dawei still cared about her and was really busy, even arranging for a driver to take care of breakfast.
If you're not attentive, you'll definitely forget about breakfast.
We arrived at a breakfast shop next to Huandong Road.
Lin Yunxing asked her if she had any dietary restrictions, and then ordered a bowl of pickled noodles with a bowl of tomato and beef soup.
The beef was freshly slaughtered that morning; it was still warm and smelled meaty.
Bring it up.
Tingting took a sip of the beef soup and immediately raised an eyebrow: "It's pretty good!"
The tomatoes must have been cooked in advance; the sweet and sour flavor has all seeped into the soup.
The beef is also well-cut; it's easy to eat without getting your teeth hurt.
The boss peeked out from the kitchen door and said, "You're a seasoned gourmet."
"Hehe~" Tingting picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks and took a bite: "Delicious!"
Seeing Lin Yunxing standing beside her, she felt a little embarrassed: "Master, please sit down too, and order one to eat with us."
Lin Yunxing stood two steps away and said, "I've already eaten, you can have some."
Our director requires that I stand properly and provide good service when the leaders are eating.
Give them plenty of face.
Only then will the guests be happy.
Tingting had seen similar situations when she was in the provincial capital, but it wasn't as exaggerated there, and there were many high-ranking officials there.
Although I don't really accept it, I choose to do as the locals do.
To get along well at the grassroots level, you first need to become one of them.
She quickly ate her meal and then took a car to the county government compound.
"I've heard your story, how you bravely fought off three armed thugs with just a sickle. You're a legendary figure in Yuanshan County."
The second brother scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "This news even reached the provincial capital? I'm not that amazing, it was just luck."
"Your relationship with Dawei isn't just that of a superior and subordinate, is it? I heard that you and your sister have known Dawei since you were little?"
A hint of panic flashed in Lin Yunxing's eyes.
She knows about her sister's affair too?
