Chapter Seventy-Three: First Kiss

  (After thinking for half a day, I changed the name of this chapter to a more accurate one)

  Liu Siyuan was about to ask her father what he did again, but was shocked by the following news and hurriedly asked: "Recently, the mayor of Ziwai City and the deputy secretary have parachuted from Beijing and the province respectively, and then transferred a vice mayor from Hanjiang. Isn't that a bit too much?"

  Fang Xinyu shrugged and said, "Yan Chuting is a direct descendant of the Yan family, while Li Zhexuan is Qiao Zhenglian's secretary, a typical member of the Qiao faction. I heard that these two people have been getting closer recently, and the original vice mayor seems to be leaning towards them. This has put some pressure on Municipal Party Secretary Zhang Mingduan, so he sent Vice Mayor Wang to ease his pressure."

  Liu Siyuan understood that this was a small counterattack by another force within the provincial party committee against Yan and Qiao's two factions. The balance of power is still the most important thing in official circles. The position of executive vice mayor is also very important, which can greatly restrain and constrain the mayor, and can be regarded as Secretary Zhang's great help.

  Fang Xinyu added, "In fact, even if Wei Dachao doesn't go down, the reality is that the Standing Committee of the Ziwai Municipal Party Committee is still under Secretary Zhang's control. Yan and Li are not able to make any moves for now. So, Wei Dachao going down has more symbolic or warning significance. Therefore, Siyuan, you must firmly grasp the overall direction and don't easily make choices, lest you end up on the wrong side, which would be troublesome."

  Liu Siyuan nodded thoughtfully.

  "Also, there's another piece of news I want to tell you, but first, let me declare that it might not be related to you. Recently, the provincial party committee's organization department will issue a document to all cities and counties, suggesting that in order to strengthen communication with grassroots levels, every county-level party committee must have at least one representative from the grassroots level as a standing committee member. In other words, each county must have at least one township party secretary promoted to county-level standing committee member, and each district must have at least one street office party secretary promoted to district-level standing committee member. Your Cheng'en County currently doesn't have any representatives from townships, so they'll definitely need to add one. Unfortunately, it won't be you, as you're too young, and being an exchanged cadre in the county with almost no backing... Bei Xi Town's status is also lower than Cheng Guan Town..."

  "Haha, I shouldn't have been the one to get this good thing anyway." Liu Siyuan smiled, he was only a little over 22 years old and already the town committee secretary, very satisfied.

  Fang Xinyu also nodded and said, "Do a good job in Beixi Town this time, so you'll have solid grassroots experience, which will be very helpful for your future promotion. However, the key is that you must not make any mistakes this time, remember to prioritize stability."

  Liu Siyuan nodded in understanding, then continued: "You'd better go see Wei Dachao, after all he's your superior at Ziwu... As for the matter of him informing on you, let's not mention it for now, since you still have to work under him."

  It's actually the first date for the two people after they confirmed their relationship, but what they're doing does look like a couple, however, almost all of their conversation is about work, which makes him feel a bit strange. Fang Xinruo is clever and guessed something from his expression, but pretended not to know, just obediently holding hands with him for a stroll along the East Lake shore.

  It wasn't until later that she suddenly remembered something and looked up at him, saying: "By the way, how did you think of writing a poem for me that day? I didn't know you had this skill."

  Liu Siyuan also didn't understand until later that the crooked poem was written by Xiao Hei Ben talking to himself, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond, so he could only scratch his head and say: "It's not well-written, I'm afraid it's laughable."

  Fang Xinyu smiled and said: "Indeed, it's not written well, even if it's a poem that starts with oily words, there's no literary talent."

  Liu Siyuan felt a wave of embarrassment, and at this moment she suddenly stopped in her tracks, smiled back at him with her hands behind her back: "But it's okay if the writing isn't good, as long as it works, right? You see, now I've even let you deceive me into your hands."

  Liu Siyuan looked at her lovely face, a surge of impulse passed and he hugged her tightly, kissed her cheek, and attempted to kiss her mouth, but was gently pushed away by her, shaking her head and saying it's not okay here.

  His first attempt was unsuccessful, leaving him somewhat depressed, until he sent her back to the door, when Fang Xinyi took the initiative to hook his neck, which was still her first time making such an intimate move, causing Liu Siyuan to be a little confused on the spot.

  The latter whispered in his ear: "Si Yuan, there are some things I need to make clear. I'm worried that you might think of me as too perfect..."

  Liu Siyuan was taken aback and asked in return: "What did you say?"

  Fang Xinyu continued to hang around his neck, close to his body, and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, I just feel that I also have many shortcomings, but you haven't seen them. For example, I don't know how to cook or play musical instruments, let alone write love letters or poetry for you. And sometimes my temper is not good... all in all, I'm really not the material for a virtuous wife and good mother..."

  Liu Siyuan gently stroked her slender back, smelling the intoxicating scent of her body and smiled: "I still believe in what you said earlier, but when you say that your temper is bad, it must be nonsense. I've known you until now and have never seen you lose your temper."

  Fang Xinyu suddenly bit his ear and smiled: "Fool, I was just because I've always liked you, so I wouldn't get angry with you."

  "Have you always liked me?" Liu Siyuan hastily asked back.

  Fang Xinyi, who had a habit of saying too much, smiled mischievously and said straightforwardly: "Alright, I admit it. Actually, I've liked you for a long time, but since someone was always with Ding Hui, I couldn't possibly steal my good friend's boyfriend, could I?"

  Liu Siyuan could only smile awkwardly, and after a while, Fang Xinyu asked him if he had been in contact with Ding Hui recently since everyone mentioned her.

  "It's been a long time since we last contacted each other, and it ended so naturally. Maybe she thinks we're not on the same path..." Liu Siyuan said with some melancholy.

  "Hmm, come to think of it, I haven't been in direct contact with her for a while either. I heard..." Fang Xinyi seemed somewhat hesitant and unsure of how to continue.

  "Tell me, what's wrong?" Liu Siyuan asked curiously.

  "Hmm, okay, I'll say it then. I heard she has a new boyfriend now."

  He actually understood in his heart that he and Ting Hui had already gone their separate ways on the long road of life, but when he really heard that she had a new boyfriend, he couldn't help but feel a little lost and absent-minded.

  Fang Xinwei protested in his arms: "If you dare to continue thinking of her, I will immediately get angry with you. Anyway, now that we are girlfriends, there is no need to pretend to be a gentle lady."

  Liu Siyuan hastily begged for mercy, and the other smiled, then suddenly whispered: "Fool, I should go." As it turns out, the two had also been affectionate at her residential area entrance for a long time. Liu Siyuan felt somewhat reluctant to part with her, but could only honestly prepare to bid farewell. At this moment, Fang Xinyi suddenly said: "How do couples usually say goodbye?"

  Liu Siyuan, no matter how foolish he was, understood her hint and hugged her tightly before kissing her. This time, Fang Xinyi did not resist anymore and opened her small mouth to let him invade...

  At this time, he kissed Fang Xinyi for the first time and felt that her taste was different from the three girls he had kissed before. How to say it, it was particularly sweet and fragrant. Moreover, she seemed to learn very quickly. At first, she was still a bit awkward, but soon she mastered many techniques on her own. Her small tongue was wet and slippery, making someone feel very charming. And the two bodies were tightly attached, Fang Xinyi would twist her body from time to time, this friction made someone react at that moment.

  The two of them kissed for a full fifteen minutes, even Fang Xingyu, who was normally extremely calm, forgot everything, to the point where they didn't even notice a black Audi passing by, and the people inside, Xiang Tianming and his secretary-driver, happened to catch the whole scene.

  The secretary looked at Xiang Tianming with a strange expression, feeling somewhat embarrassed and not knowing what to say. The driver had wanted to stop the car, but Xiang Tianming instructed him to "keep driving, don't stop." He then glanced at the secretary, shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said with self-mockery, "Little Deng, did you see that? This is what they mean by 'a woman's word is not reliable'."
