still unconvinced. 。Guan Wenwei naturally also saw the stubbornness still burning in Xiao Zheng's eyes. He earnestly advised once again: "Xiao Commissioner, you have worked so hard to get to where you...Xiao Zheng was a little confused, and also a little disappointed. 。Society is a big dye vat, and without a doubt, Xu Fangfei has been stained with a color that doesn't belong to her. 。Xiao Zheng was not mentally prepared to accept such Xu Fangfei. 。>> 。So Xiao Zheng merely went through the motions, responding coolly to Xu Fangfei's occasional attempts at conversation. Their exchanges were superficial, touching only on topics like how long it had been since they last saw each other or their teachers. This type of talk never reached any deeper emotional level. 。The key point for Xiao Zheng is to make Gao Shengxue, the deputy general manager of the City Agricultural and Rural Commercial Bank, happy by drinking. That's the true purpose of this treat today. 。Today, I must get Gao Shengxue to agree to lend money to the town. 。Xú Fāngfēi's heart was actually very disappointed. For Xiāo Zhēng, she had never truly forgotten him. 。But since junior high, as Xiao Zheng's grades got better and better, plus the arrival of the son of a mining tycoon, she felt embarrassed to get close to Xiao Zheng anymore. 。Today, she unexpectedly ran into Xiao Zheng again. He was already the young town magistrate, and certain dormant feelings in her heart were suddenly reawakened. 。Therefore, it's impossible for her to say she has no expectations of Xiao Zheng. 。However, as the party progressed, she realized that Xiao Zheng wasn't as enthusiastic about her as she had hoped. Instead, he remained subtly distant throughout the evening. 。Xú Fāngfēi thought to herself, could it be that she had lost her appeal to Xiāo Zhēng Xú Fāngfēi’s gaze kept flitting over Xiāo Zhēng’s body, but Xiāo Zhēng simply treated her as an ordinary drinking companion. 。Xu Fangfei was not willing to give up. She suddenly suggested, "Gao Zong, we've been drinking here for a while and it's not very interesting. Let's go sing karaoke"

The beautiful woman next to Gao Shengxue also said, "Gao Zong, let's go singing. Fangfei has a great voice." 。"Xú Fāngfēi said: "Měizi's song is even better." 。gao Shengxue had already drunk quite a bit, and his spirits were lifted. He said, "Alright, let's go sing karaoke. Is that okay with the secretary" They had only come to drink today, but now he was suggesting singing, so any formal discussion about business would be pushed back further. 。But if I don't go, Gao Shengxue probably won't have a good time, and the loan might not go through. 。Guan Wenwei looked at Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng said: "Of course, no problem. Let's go now." 。If you're going, then go early. 。Xiao Zheng wanted to finish playing as soon as possible, then he could get down to business. 。The Heavenly Palace itself is a one-stop shop for dining and entertainment, so Tao Fang conveniently booked a KTV private room at the hotel. 。Once seated in the private room, Gao Shengxue, the deputy general manager, sat with his female companion and began to sing "Red Dust Love Song" loudly. 。Next, Guan Wenwei and Tao Fang have also booked "Love in the Stormy Wind". 。Xiao Zheng felt a bit irritable, so he quietly slipped out of the private room and asked a waiter for directions to the rooftop where he could smoke. 。The air on the rooftop carried the coolness of late autumn, with a faint hint of osmanthus fragrance. 。Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, looking at the bustling corner of Jingzhou, feeling the cool autumn wind blowing. Xiao Zheng felt a little lost. 。The matter of loans, in essence, should be straightforward: if you qualify, you get approved; if not, you don't. It's a simple binary decision.

Yet, nowadays, loan approvals seem to hinge on the whims and moods of bank executives. Whether they like you or not appears to have become the deciding factor in whether your loan application is successful. 。So, isn't the so-called review system just a show Xiao Zheng felt very wronged. 。His gaze fell once more upon the street below. 。"Xiao Zheng, how did you end up hiding here"

A soft, familiar voice came from behind. 。Xiao Zheng turned around, and Xu Fangfei was wearing a black dress that wrapped her body like a mermaid. Her brown boots were paired with white lace socks, which set off her long and graceful legs. 。Xu Fangfei is still very pretty, her natural beauty at the cusp of adolescence has bloomed into full force. 。

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "How did you get out here too" Xu Fangfei replied, "I came to find you." 。Xiao Zheng didn't answer, he just took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and took a puff. 。Xu Fangfei took the cigarette from his hand, took a puff, and then passed it back to Xiao Zheng. 。Thus, Xu Fangfei's lips met Xiao Zheng's used cigarette butt. 。Xiao Zheng was a little surprised: "You smoke too" Xu Fangfei suddenly coughed, obviously not a smoker. She coughed violently, even tears came out of her eyes. 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but pat Xu Fangfei on the back, Xu Fangfei raised her head to look at Xiao Zheng and smiled, saying: "You still care about me, don't you" 。"Xiao Zheng stopped patting his back: "Seeing you cough like that, if you don't smoke, just don't smoke." 。"Xu Fangfei stopped coughing and sat up straight, leaning on the railing, looking at the night view below, she said: “You guys smoke all day. I wanted to know what it tasted like But just now when I took a puff, it wasn't good at all.” 。。"Xu Fangfei suddenly turned around and said, "Do you still remember things from elementary and middle school" Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I remember some" 。"Xu Fangfei smiled again and looked at Xiao Zheng, "So, when you saw the son of the mine owner clinging to me, did you think I was a bad girl too" Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I didn't think that way. I thought you were also being harassed and had no way out." 。Xu Fangfei suddenly had tears in her eyes: "As long as you understand." 。There is one thing I haven't told you. 。“Xiao Zheng was a little strange and asked, “What’s the matter” Xu Fangfei said, “At that time, when the son of that mine owner first started to pester me, he asked me if I liked him.” 。I said how could I possibly like someone like him, so I hope he doesn't keep bothering me. 。Xiao Zheng continued to listen. 。Xu Fangfei said again, "That person then asked me if I had other crushes in middle school. He said if I did, he wouldn't bother me anymore." 。Xiao Zheng listened even more intently. 。Xu Fangfei smiled and said to Xiao Zheng, "I've told you, I already have someone I like." 。He asked who I was, only when I said my name did he know it was true, and then he stopped bothering me. 。“Did you tell him The son of that mine owner was just trying to get information from you!”Xiao Zheng spoke, Xu Fangfei smiled and nodded. “Yeah, if it were me now, I definitely wouldn't tell him.” 。At that time, how naive and innocent I was. Since he said so, I told him my name. 。“He’s definitely trying to get you to say something,” 。If you don't stay with him, he will hurt the boys you like. 。"Xu Fangfei said, "You guessed it." 。"Can you guess who my favorite boy is" Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng, her long eyelashes fluttering as her eyes glinted with soft light. 。Xiao Zheng felt a little nervous. 。Xu Fangfei said, "You probably already guessed it, what I'm talking about is..." 。The son of that mine owner said, if I didn't become his girlfriend, he would have someone beat you up and make sure you couldn't finish middle school. 。Xiao Zheng never expected there to be such a thing. 。He felt a pang of sadness. 。Having drunk his fill, his entire body was now consumed by anger. He asked, "Where is that mining tycoon's son Where is he now" If it were possible, he truly wished to find this man and give him a good beating. 。Xu Fangfei smiled: "What, you want revenge" Xiao Zheng said: "I want to know where he is" 。"Xu Fangfei pointed downstairs with her finger and said, “He's already gone to hell.” 。He started fighting people in middle school, stabbing someone and was given probation. He was expelled from school and still didn't learn his lesson. He continued to fight people, got involved with drugs, and even killed someone. After that, he ran away, but some say he was killed by someone else out there. 。Upon hearing this, the anger in Xiao Zheng's heart subsided. Since one person had disappeared from this world, there was no way to hate him anymore. 。Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Fangfei and said, “I didn't expect that when we were in middle school, you took on so much for me.” Xu Fangfei smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything special either." 。Actually, the mining boss's son is a kid at heart. I agreed to be his girlfriend, but only if he agreed to three conditions: first, he wasn't allowed to touch me without my permission; second, I had to take high school and college entrance exams, and before I went to university, he couldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about me; third, he had to guarantee my safety. 。If he meets all three of these points, he can announce to others that I am his girlfriend. 。He actually did it. 。That was quite unexpected for Xiao Zheng. 。Xu Fangfei continued, "Some boys look fierce and intimidating, but they're really just big kids." 。After getting to know the son of a mine owner, I learned how to get along with boys. You just have to make them feel important, and they'll listen to you. 。"Xu Fangfei's words are indeed not false." 。Xiao Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Have you experienced a lot of boys after that"

Xu Fangfei shook her head and said: "Do you want to pry into my privacy I won't tell you" 。"Xiao Zheng also smiled: "I don't want to pry into anything. " 。Let's get out of here, or they might find us. 。Then Xiao Zheng walked downstairs again. 。I don't know if it was because he couldn't hold his liquor or because the wine was too strong, but when Xiao Zheng walked down from the rooftop, he almost tripped. Xu Fangfei was by his side, and the two of them ended up rolling together. 。ime, when facing Song Guoming and Wang Guilong, Xiao Zheng worried that someone might come to his dormitory at night, so he stayed at his parents' house in the countryside every day. 。The situation h...
