The G city airport was still crowded. Ji Xinyao walked out of the airport lobby and was about to go to the parking lot to see if there was an airport bus back to the city. Suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and looked over there.
go.
I saw a tall and graceful woman standing there with a suitcase, seemingly looking at something in the distance.
That is……
Gu Yufei?
She paused, and was about to walk over there, but at the same time she caught a glimpse of a familiar red Ferrari driving over from the bridge. She was frightened, and instinctively walked into the darkness, only to see that car.
The Ferrari drove all the way down the bridge until it reached the parking lot and stopped in front of Gu Yufei, who had been waiting there for a long time.
Gu Yufei stood there quietly, watching the car window slowly lowering to reveal a familiar face. She pulled her lips and smiled softly at the person in the driver's seat, but her smile was full of politeness.
Ji Xinyao has been paying attention to Gu Yufei's expression. She clearly saw a look of expectation on Gu Yufei's face just now. Even when the Ferrari approached, there was a hint of joy in her eyes, but the car was parked now.
In front of her, she smiled politely and distantly, as if she was saying goodbye to a very ordinary friend. But in that instant, the cold and glamorous feeling that seemed to be natural in her body disappeared a lot. In an instant,
Fresh and peaceful, she is like a girl next door who has put down her airs.
It's not that I didn't notice the license plate number of the Ferrari.
That's Qin Muyan's car.
Ji Xinyao was even more confused. Could it be that the child in Gu Yufei's belly was Qin Muyan's?
But that's not right. No matter how much of a bastard he is, he wouldn't go so far as to make his best friend's sister pregnant, right? If he makes it bigger, then forget about it, and then go around seducing other women as if nothing happened?
No, she felt that this idea was not right. If the child in Gu Yufei's belly was Qin Muyan's, why was Gu Yufei's expression so polite and calm? But if not, then Gu Yufei's vaguely expectant look and moment just now
What do hidden emotions mean?
A cold beauty with an indifferent attitude toward everything would have so many emotional changes when facing Qin Muyan. It would not be right to say that there was nothing between the two of them.
After a while, Gu Yufei glanced at the time, said a few words to the people in the car, then turned around and entered the airport hall, dragging her suitcase.
Gu Yufei should be returning to the United States today. Ji Xinyao was thinking about whether to go out to see her off, but felt that it seemed inappropriate. Although the two of them stayed at Gu's house for one night and could talk,
After all, if she goes out in this situation, it seems... she doesn't know what to say...
From what perspective? Her sister-in-law? Or a friend?
Just as she was thinking about it, the red Ferrari parked there suddenly turned around and drove straight towards the dark corner where she was standing.
She immediately stared at the car that was driving towards her with a frightened expression. The car stopped in front of her, and then Qin Muyan walked out. Seeing her standing there motionless, he couldn't help but frown and look at her with dissatisfaction: "
What are you doing?"
Ji Xinyao immediately turned her eyes and looked around, then looked at him again: "How did you know I'm here?"
"Nonsense, I asked someone to book a return ticket for you. Why can't I know that you are here now?" He raised his arms and crossed his chest, leaning against the car door, looking at her with a lukewarm look.
He said with a dark expression: "What? You took my ID card and ran away, and now you don't dare to face me?"
Ji Xinyao was embarrassed, and then she remembered the ID card. She lowered her head and took out her wallet from her bag, pulled out his ID card and handed it to him: "Then, give it back to you."
Qin Muyan snorted, and the boss took the ID card unhappily and put it in his pocket. Then he tapped his chin to the side to signal her to get in the car.
"Stop looking, I'm just here to pick you up!" Seeing that she was still there, Qin Muyan looked at her with disdain like she was an idiot: "Hurry up and get in the car."
Didn't he come to see Gu Yufei off? Why did he come to pick her up specially? She raised her eyes to meet his gaze.
On the highway back to the city, Ji Xinyao always glanced back at Qin Muyan who was driving the car intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe she was a little too deliberate, and he became angry after a while.
"What are you looking at?" He suddenly turned his head and gave her a strange look.
"What's your relationship with Gu Yufei?" she asked.
"Her? What does Yufei and I have to do with each other? He is Nancy's sister." He replied in a nonchalant manner, and then asked her in surprise: "Do you know Yufei?"
Ji Xinyao almost bit her tongue, and said with a straight face and a natural expression: "After all, I work in the media. Although I am in the Ministry of Government Affairs, I am still in the same circle. The famous beautiful CEO of the Gu family
, there shouldn’t be many people who haven’t heard of it, right?”
He sneered but said nothing more.
It seemed that he didn't like to discuss the topic about Gu Yufei, so everyone became quiet.
She couldn't help turning her head and staring at him: "I just saw her waiting for you in the parking lot. I thought you were here to see her off."
"She returned to the United States today and when she called me to tell me, I happened to be on the way to the airport, so I saw her off as well," he replied.
That’s how it turns out…
Could it be that she is overthinking?
With women's gossipy nature, she was still secretly guessing whether there was some hidden secret between the two of them, but seeing that Qin Muyan's "just a good brother's sister" feelings for Gu Yufei didn't seem to constitute any hidden secret.
Or was she wrong about Gu Yufei's expression just now?
Back in the city of G city, Qin Muyan seemed to have something to do, so he sent her to the company and left in a hurry. However, on the way, she answered a call from the company's duty room and found that she was already using the mobile phone he gave her.
His little eyes have always been very charming.
Because it was Saturday, there was no one in the company in the afternoon, so she put the small DVD and other equipment she had taken back to the office, and added two more necessary forms. It was already getting dark, so she packed up and returned to Nippori.
When she was in City F before, Gu Nanxi left her place not long ago and did not say when she would return to City G. However, she vaguely remembered that Secretary Gao once said that he would be out of town for the past month, so she might
He still won't come back in these two weeks.
Even if he comes back, he probably won't come to Nippori.
Time flies so fast, and in just four or five days, great changes have suddenly occurred within the company.
Several colleagues were transferred to other departments. Only she and Su Xiaonuan remained at their original posts. The editor-in-chief did not explain the reason during the meeting, but vaguely said that it was because several reports from the government affairs department some time ago were not politically acceptable.
In the heart of the government, a set of political magazines that had always been best-selling was closed.
After listening to colleagues murmuring in private, I realized that the decision was actually made by the mayor's secretary Gao Hai.
Ji Xinyao felt that something was not right at that time.
The profession of the mayor's secretary is not as high as the mayor. It is subject to restrictions in every aspect, but it is not low either. It can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people. And if those who hold positions such as mayor's secretary or special assistant are
If you perform extremely well, you will most likely be the next mayor or a high-ranking official in other city governments, and you will have considerable power.
She has always known that Secretary Gao seems to be a gentle person, but he is not simple. The more people know how to restrain all emotions, the more stable they can be in this society. Secretary Gao has always given her a very cautious and restrained attitude.
The feeling of temperament.
When she went to the hospital to visit the migrant worker last time, she could vaguely detect from Secretary Gao's words that he wanted to take the lead alone.
Everyone has desires, either deep or latent, good or evil. Originally, Ji Xinyao didn't think too much about these aspects, but this time the magazine was banned, it suddenly made her think a lot.
Be careful.
Gao Hai is not a simple person. He is deliberately controlling the media's mouth, but another part of the relevant news is reported. All this is neither beneficial nor harmful to the mayor, but it is not good for Gao Hai, who is taking the lead this time.
It is said that it is an opportunity to succeed.
What does he want to do? Does he want to take the position of mayor of City G?
There are still two years until the next election. Judging from the time, it is indeed time for him to start preparing and waiting for the election.
After another meeting at the company, Ji Xinyao stood up while packing up the documents in her hands. Suddenly, something seemed to be echoing in her head.
Suddenly she recalled the words of the old woman who rushed to her side in the hospital that day.
Didn't Gao Hai say that these migrant workers are all outsiders? And they are all in very remote rural areas. How come the incident just happened and the family members of the injured migrant worker were all in the hospital? Are you still asking the media to uphold justice?
It's not that fast even by plane, right? It only took a few hours for what happened at that time?
When raising land, she squeezed the documents in her hands.
Does Gu Nanxi know about these things?
***************************************************
***************
The next night, Ji Xinyao was alone in her study looking up books on legal and political knowledge. Suddenly, the music on her cell phone rang out in the quiet study, and the number displayed was actually Gu Nanxi.
"Hello?" She answered the phone and put the book in her hand upside down on the table. Afraid of poor signal in the study, she got up and walked out of the study and went downstairs.
"You find time to ask the company for a few days off." Gu Nanxi's faint voice came from the phone: "I have been on a business trip in the past few days, and the meetings I want to attend require the most professional government media to follow me."
"Ah?" She was startled: "You want me to go on a business trip with you?"
She just came back from City F, is she leaving again?
"What? You feel like you're not up to it?"
"No, no, what I mean is that such a good thing suddenly fell from the sky, and I was not mentally prepared!"
It’s a joke, let alone following Gu Nanxi, she would never be willing to give up such a good job even if she was asked to follow Jackals and Hungry Tigers. Who in the industry doesn’t know that if the media as a government affairs reporting department can be selected by senior municipal officials?
, accompanying records and reporting on some important meetings is simply a fat job! Not only will her reputation in the government media industry become higher and higher from now on, but it will also bring about a fundamental leap for her career.
.
From this, she can be regarded as a member of the government's crisis public relations team, and she has stepped into the door of a government agency from a small employee in a company in the blink of an eye.
However, from now on, any disturbances related to this city will be closely related to her. Especially some positive or negative news will no longer be released freely as appropriate, but must be carried out in compliance with the rules and regulations of the AA government.
"How many days of leave do I need to take?" she asked lightly, but she was in a good mood. It seemed that marrying Gu Nanxi could really allow her to take a back door. Originally, such a fat job would not fall on her head, although she usually worked
She worked very hard, but after all, she was relatively junior and would not be able to get her turn even after a few years.
In fact, this doesn't count as asking for leave, it counts as a job she got from outside. It's probably not easy for the editor-in-chief to deal with it, but after all, it was Gu Nanxi who asked for it, so things will be much easier to handle.
"Five days."
"When will you leave?"
"You contact Assistant Su or Secretary Gao and they will arrange a time." 13acv.
"Okay, I'll contact them early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." Gu Nanxi only responded, and the call was hung up after a moment.
***************************************************
***************
The next day, she asked for leave from the company. Although the editor-in-chief was very dissatisfied with this, after all, it was Gu Nanxi who asked him for someone this time, so he couldn't refuse.
But after that, she specifically warned the editor-in-chief a few words, telling him not to let Qin Muyan know about her business trip with Gu Nanxi. Although the editor-in-chief was confused, he was not a meddlesome person, so he nodded.
In fact, if Qin Muyan and Gu Nanxi didn't know each other, she wouldn't have to be so secretive, but now the only thing she can do is to delay as much as possible, until Qin Muyan returns to the United States, the world will be at peace.
That night, Assistant Su from the AA government asked for her ID number and said she had booked a flight for the next day. Ji Xinyao specifically asked Assistant Su which city they were going to, and Assistant Su said it was
In City Y, she felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on her.
City y...
The northern city she had left for more than seven years.
Did Nancy Gu arrange it deliberately or was it just a coincidence?
He clearly knew that she had a grudge against the Ji family and City Y, so why did he suddenly ask her to go to City Y with him?
Early the next morning, Assistant Su and Secretary Gao got on the plane with her. She sat in the first-class cabin specially arranged by Assistant Su, held the ticket in her hand and looked at the city g - city y written on it.
There was a cold silence in my heart.
At the end of September in Y City, the weather was only about 12 or 3 degrees above zero. The leaves on both sides of the road were turning yellow and falling, and the autumn wind was bleak with bursts of coolness.
From the moment she got off the plane until she got into the car arranged by the government, Ji Xinyao was as quiet as if she didn't exist. She would glance at the autumn colors outside the window from time to time, and then close her eyes again.
"Mayor Gu is staying at the Shengtang Hotel in City Y. Tomorrow's meeting will be held at the Provincial Government Hall in the center of City Y. This time there are many leaders from the central government and key personnel from the military region. The content of the meeting is relatively sensitive. Miss Ji, if you need someone
If I can help you, we can arrange a temporary assistant for you." Secretary Gao suddenly said after leaving the airport at high speed and entering the urban area of ​​City Y.
Regarding Secretary Gao, Ji Xinyao didn't know whether she had made him complicated or something else. She raised her eyes and looked at his still gentle and elegant smile, then she pulled her lips at him: "If you think it is necessary to arrange an assistant for me,
, then I can accept it. After all, I don’t know exactly what the situation will be tomorrow. It would be better if someone can give me some advice. After all, this is the first time for me to accompany the mayor to such an important event.
Meeting."
"It's not going to be a big deal. It's just that the coverage and content of the news are relatively sensitive, or some important topics may be missed if you are slightly careless. Conference reporting is different from interview reporting. Miss Ji, you should understand." Secretary Gao.
He took a document bag and handed it to her: "This is the material written by the public relations officer of G Municipal AA Government in the past when he followed Mayor Gu to and from meetings. You can take a look at it, so that you will know how to write tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you." She took the document bag, lowered her head and began to look through it carefully.
They did not go to the Shengtang Hotel first, but to the Provincial Government Office first. When they arrived at the Provincial Government Office, Ji Xinyao had just gotten out of the car, and out of the corner of her eye she saw several military region vehicles parked nearby, and began to secretly
Worried about whether I would meet Chief of Staff Ji at tomorrow's meeting, I looked around carefully and didn't see any car with the license plate number used by Chief of Staff Ji that year.
After she ran away from home, she knew that the Ji family had tried to find her, so she deliberately hid for seven years in order to never have any contact or involvement with the Ji family.
I was standing by the car and thinking deeply, when suddenly Assistant Sut said: "The mayor is out."
Ji Xinyao turned around subconsciously and saw Gu Nanxi walking out of the main entrance of the Provincial Government Hall. Behind him were several dignitaries who were talking behind him. He smiled politely and walked towards them after a moment.
come over.
"Mayor..." Secretary Gao came up to him and gave him a stack of prepared materials. When Gu Nanxi took it, she stood beside him and said something.
Gu Nanxi nodded lightly, glanced at the thing in her hand calmly, and then walked to the car, without raising her head or looking at her, but stopped a few steps in front of her and kept looking.
He stared at the information in his hand, but at the same time he said: "Are you still used to the weather in the north?"
Realizing that he was talking to herself, Ji Xinyao looked at the man in front of her who did not raise her head but was still looking at the information in his hand seriously. The corner of her mouth twitched. It was obvious that he had not looked at her since he came out. Could it be that his eyes were on his head?
You don't need to look at her to know that she is standing here.
"Fortunately, it's not like you don't know that I'm no stranger to City Y." Her tone was full of seriousness.
Finally, Gu Nanxi turned her eyes away from the information in her hand and turned her head slightly to look at her. After a moment, she turned to Assistant Su and said a few words, then she got into the car with a few documents in one hand,
She turned around and saw that he was studying the thing in his hand, so she didn't bother her too much. Seeing the look in Assistant Su's eyes, she had no choice but to follow him and get in the car, and she had to sit next to him and sit in the car with him.
Back seat.
Secretary Gao and Special Assistant Su didn't come up. It was obvious that the government of City Y not only sent a car to Gu Nanxi, but also other cars.
The driver looked back in the rearview mirror and asked respectfully: "Mayor Gu, where are you going?"
Gu Nanxi glanced sideways at Ji Xinyao: "What do you want to eat?"
"I won't eat, I'm not hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xinyao's stomach growled several times uncooperatively.
She immediately rolled her eyes at the air in front of her, ignoring Nancy's expression, which must be laughing at her, and raised her hands to cover her stomach: "Then just eat whatever you want, it's the first time I attend such a meeting with you.
, I don’t know much about some aspects, so in order to avoid any mistakes tomorrow, I want to go back early and take a look at the materials Secretary Gao gave me.”
The machine moved up. "Go back to the hotel." Gu Nanxi didn't say anything else to her, but turned to the driver and said lightly.
