"why are you laughing?"
"Huh? It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something." Ji Xinyao smiled and didn't explain much.
In fact, she suddenly remembered that when Gu Nanxi's head hit the door frame of her bedroom that night, his innocent and angry expression seemed to be vaguely angry. He must have been the dignified Gu Shi that everyone looked up to.
The embarrassment that many people have never seen or even dared to think about.
She turned her eyes and looked at the man beside her.
He looked so quiet, walking beside her tall and straight. Under the windbreaker was a pure black tailored suit and a white shirt. This was how he looked when he was working. His black and loose hair was slightly combed back, but
She combed her hair casually, put one hand in her trouser pocket, and held hers with the other hand, not letting go all the way.
For such a man to suddenly appear in her life, could it be that while God closed a door for her, he opened a window for her.
Ji Xinyao suddenly thought of something that had been lingering in her heart for a while, so she had nothing to say and said: "Some time ago, those migrant workers were causing trouble in front of City G City Hall, you know, right?"
"Know."
"I have some ideas, can you listen to them?"
He glanced at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, but it was impossible to see what he was thinking: "Say."
"Although the trouble they caused this time was fundamentally caused by their greed, and it is indeed right to be punished accordingly, the thoughts of these migrant workers are also closely related to their living environment. If
They don’t lack the minimum subsistence allowance money, so they won’t shamelessly go to the AA government to make trouble.”
"Let's not talk about whether the national welfare of subsistence allowance should be approved by me." After hearing what she said, Gu Nanxi said calmly: "Simply speaking, their registered residence is not in G City, and they are wandering around in various big and small cities.
On the one hand, they completely failed to comply with the distribution regulations, and their behavior of gathering crowds to cause trouble was even more wrong."
"They were indeed wrong, but they shouldn't have been punished so harshly. I heard that the injured migrant worker was already under criminal detention after being discharged from the hospital. They didn't even plan to release him. Do they have to detain him like this?
For a lifetime?" She stopped.
Seeing her stop, he also stopped and looked back at her with no expression on his face: "The government is not a welfare institution. If something is wrong, it is wrong. As for the punishment and detention, it is up to the legal agencies to judge the seriousness of their crimes."
"Is the law merciless? They didn't kill people or set fires. They just have no money and no power. They know that small things like subsistence allowances don't have to go through you at all, but no one makes the decision for them. Why do they go to the city hall to cause trouble? Why do they need to meet with the mayor?
Long? That’s because they believe you can seek justice for them! Those are people who live on the edge of the city. They have no knowledge or culture and can only rely on their hands to make money to support themselves or their family. This restricts their freedom.
How many people’s livelihoods have been cut off? You are a high-ranking mayor. The food left over after each dinner is enough to feed several families for a day. Each bottle of wine is equivalent to the salary that those migrant workers can barely earn after working hard for several months.
!You can’t see their suffering at all!”
"Ji Xinyao, you are making generalizations." He frowned, obviously not liking her questioning attitude.
"Did I?" She glared at him: "Which sentence did I say wrong?"
Gu Nanxi said nothing and turned around to leave. Seeing that he seemed unwilling to argue with her, Ji Xinyao followed him quickly. When she was near the commercial street, there were two beggars in tattered clothes sitting on the side of the road.
There, when she saw them passing by, she pushed the box with a few pieces of change in front of her. Ji Xinyao saw it, but ignored it, and still followed Gu Nanxi's footsteps: "People like you live in such a privileged way!
You don’t see the suffering of the people at all! You just enjoy it every day! They just ask you to help them, do you need to be so cold-blooded?"
Suddenly, Gu Nanxi stopped, turned to look at her, and said in a clear and cold voice: "Cold-blooded?"
She held her chin high, not afraid of the coldness in his eyes.
But he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a place not far behind her: "Since you are not cold-blooded, why don't you show your overly exuberant compassion when you pass by them?"
Ji Xinyao was startled and looked back at the two beggars. When she turned back to meet his gaze, she said confidently: "How many people squatting on the street begging now have more money than me? How do I know which one is better than me?"
Are they really poor and who is a fraud group? Besides, they have hands and feet, and they are neither old nor children. Instead of looking for a job, they squat on the roadside waiting for others to give money. I have no reason to give charity here.
Plant it on people who sit around all day waiting for pie to fall from the sky!"
"It seems that you are not hopelessly confused yet." The coldness in his eyes dimmed a little.
Ji Xinyao looked at the impatience in his eyes with confusion. First she stared at him and looked at him, and finally she realized what she was doing and suddenly turned her head to look at the two beggars, as if she understood something.
Those migrant workers also have hands and feet. If they are really in dire straits, their own cities and towns will naturally issue their share of subsistence allowances. There is no need to ask for these in a place where they will not live for too long, but they
What's the difference between those people who don't work for several days and just stand in front of the city hall to make trouble and want money, and these beggars who have hands and feet squatting on the roadside?
What Gu Nanxi means is that, like her, he is not completely indifferent, but this society and this world prevents any of them from abusing this compassion, because you will never guess whether all this is true or false.
Migrant workers can make such a fuss in G City, and they will still make such a fuss in other cities. If everyone abuses their compassion like this, those migrant workers can just wander around and wait for money to fall from the sky like these beggars.
A government agency is not a welfare institution, and compassion cannot be abused. Therefore, will the law be ruthless?
She was speechless for a moment. Gu Nanxi pursed her thin lips slightly. Seeing her expression of being speechless and thinking to herself, she smiled coldly: "Understood?"
She raised her eyes and glanced at him, but she kept silent and walked quietly beside him. However, after taking a few steps, she hesitated and glanced at the handsome and elegant man next to her: "But also
You shouldn't hurt them with electric batons..."
Finally, his unimpressed eyes seemed to have a little more understanding, and he lightly caught her twinkling eyes: "What do you want to remind me?"
She paused and looked at him in surprise.
Does he know everything?
Could it be that he knew all the tricks Secretary Gao was doing behind his back?
She knows her identity. After all, she is not in politics, and there are many things she cannot interfere with.
But his final words made her feel as if she heard something.
So, Secretary Gao really tried to control some agencies and powers in G City, but all of this was not expected by Gu Nanxi?
Since he knew that he should have his own judgment and sense of proportion, she didn't need to worry about it, so she tacitly stopped disturbing the beautiful night with such nonsense.
Gu Nanxi smiled happily when she saw that she knew how to observe words and expressions, and would stop mentioning them with just one click.
On an autumn night in the north, there are not many people wandering around in the bustling downtown streets at nearly 10 o'clock in the evening.
Only a few large shopping malls were still brightly lit. The two of them walked near the shopping mall. Ji Xinyao looked around: "Is there any place to eat nearby?"
"There is a 24-hour Sichuan hotpot in front of you. Isn't that what you like to eat?" he said.
When she heard about the Sichuan hotpot, she immediately became happy: "So considerate? Thank you, my dear and respectable Mayor Gu, for caring so much about... my temporary subordinate~"
The last two words were said very deliberately. Gu Nanxi disagreed and did not refute. She glanced at the time and said: "These shopping malls will close in about an hour. You go to pick out a few clothes first, and then go to eat.
If you're hungry for another hour, you'll be able to eat more."
His voice that seemed to be teasing brought her mind back from her surroundings. She immediately remembered the hot pot they had last time in G City. Although she was very full, she didn't finish all the things she ordered.
There was still more than half of the food on each plate. Gu Nanxi didn't say anything at that time. It seems that she has been keeping the account of wasting food until now!
"What clothes should I choose? I have no plans to buy clothes!" She quickly changed the subject in an embarrassed tone.
"Are you going to wear my coat to the provincial government meeting tomorrow?"
Ji Xinyao lowered her head and glanced at the coat on her body. Anyone who looked at this coat would know that it was worn by Gu Nanxi. Although she didn't know how many of these people knew about their relationship as husband and wife, even if everyone knew
She knew that it wasn't good for her to look so ambiguous wearing his clothes, and tomorrow was such a serious occasion, and she didn't bring a thick coat. She would be cold to death if she didn't wear it. Then she picked up her small bag and turned around.
He walked happily towards the mall and said as he walked: "Looking at the situation, you should be the one paying the bill, so I'll go in and pick out the two most expensive ones." I thought about it.
After saying that, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at him: "I really went to pick one, don't regret it!"
Gu Nanxi walked over slowly, put one hand in her trouser pocket, and looked at her calmly: "You only have one hour."
When Ji Xinyao heard this, she turned around and rushed into the nearby department store.
Seeing her furious expression, as if she was afraid that he would regret it, Gu Nanxi shook her head and chuckled. On the night of the wedding, he put a secondary card next to the key. He had not received anything from her for so long.
Record, now I am very anxious for fear that he will regret it. Women are really strange animals.
The first floor of the department store is the beauty and jewelry counters, the second floor is the watch, bag, accessories and leather goods counters. The fashion area is only on the third floor, so Ji Xinyao quickly walked to the elevator and took the elevator directly to the fifth floor, planning to start from
She started walking down the fifth floor, and Nancy Gu was always walking behind her. To outsiders, she looked like a husband who was patiently shopping with his wife, without any trace of impatience on his face.
The entire mall is already very quiet, because it will close in an hour, and for a northern city at this time, there are almost only shopping guides and staff left in the mall.
The two of them immediately became the center of attention as soon as they entered the mall. When walking through the women's clothing area on the fifth floor, several female shopping guides stood together in twos and threes and whispered: "Hey, look,
That man is so handsome!"
"Yes, that woman is his wife, right? It's so late to go shopping with your wife, that woman is too happy, right?!"
"I don't think so. How many men are willing to go shopping with their wives now? Is it so late? I think this woman is probably a kept mistress~"
"I don't think that woman looks like that. How can a mistress be walking in front of someone as hot-tempered as she is? Doesn't she usually walk with a man's arm wrapped around her? And the man looked quite serious and said..."
"Nowadays, we all know people but not their hearts. Who knows~ But he is really handsome, handsome and has aura. Looking at the suit inside, he is so formal. Could it be that he is a big shot from somewhere?"
"Oh, I heard that there will be a meeting at the Provincial Government Office tomorrow. Is it a political leader?"
"Stop talking, the two of them are coming..."
While they were talking, Ji Xinyao walked directly into the counter on this side. Under the envious eyes of a group of women, she rarely felt that her vanity as a woman had been so satisfied. She looked back and secretly guessed
Gu Nanxi smiled and said nothing. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation between these women just now.
"Is this available in size M?" She picked up a black woolen jacket, looked at it, and asked lightly.
"Yes, miss, wait a moment, I'll go find it right away."
Ji Xinyao nodded and took off the coat that belonged to Nancy Gu and the bag in her hand. She wanted to put it next to her, but she thought about it and felt it was not safe. Just as she was thinking about it, the bag and coat in her hand were taken away.
He took it and turned around suddenly to see Gu Nanxi.
Needless to say, he is indeed a very successful person in both the business and political circles. He is indeed a very discerning person.
She grinned at him, not realizing that her eyes had a hint of a shy little woman, and turned around to follow the shopping guide to the fitting room.
Gu Nanxi casually glanced at the larger-sized woolen jacket she picked up before. Seeing that the price tag on it was only more than seven hundred yuan, she couldn't help but tilt her lips slightly and put down the dress with a sigh.
After a while, Ji Xinyao walked out of the fitting room, looked in the mirror, and turned to look for Gu Nanxi: "Does it look good?"
Gu Nanxi turned back and glanced at her. She didn't answer, but said to the shopping guide next to her: "Are there any other colors?"
"There are not many colors for this dress, only black, white and orange."
"Then orange."
"Okay, find it right away. Miss, come to the fitting room with me~"
"Ah? I want this black one..."
Before Ji Xinyao finished speaking, Gu Nanxi said calmly: "No need to try it on, just wrap it up in the size she is wearing."
"I haven't tried it on yet, why should I just wrap it up? I'll try it on! What if the color doesn't suit me?" Ji Xinyao said hurriedly.
Gu Nanxi raised her eyebrows, meaning she was casual. She immediately turned away and rolled her eyes. He was really quite leisurely today! Why did he have to let her buy a bright-colored dress... She had already passed the time.
It’s time to pretend to be young...
After thinking about it, I once again walked into the fitting room under the envious eyes of a group of women.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in Ji Xinyao's bag rang. Gu Nanxi glanced at the bag in her hand and took out her new mobile phone. She saw Qin Muyan's name on the caller ID, and her eyes did not change.
He shouldn't have answered the phone, but he accidentally pressed the green answer button on the screen.
"Ji Xinyao, what's the matter with you? I went to your company for review in the afternoon and had a meeting by the way. Why didn't I see you?"
"Chief Editor Zhang said you were on a business trip again. Where did you go on a business trip? Why didn't I know?"
"...Hello? Are you deaf or mute? Doesn't it work that the cell phone I gave you doesn't work? Can't you hear my voice?"
"Ji Xinyao? Speak!"
Qin Muyan didn't get a response for a long time, but he could vaguely hear the announcement from the shopping mall opposite. The boss suddenly said unhappily: "You woman, can you be honest in front of me? Don't run around all day so that I can't catch you. Really?"
Don't blame me if you make me anxious. I will check you out and move directly to your house. I'll see where you go!"
Ji Xinyao walked out of the fitting room. When she looked in the mirror, she realized that this color matched her skin tone better than the black one just now. Moreover, even if this style was too bright like orange, it would not be too exaggerated.
It's both formal and fashionable, and it suits her very well. It also adds a bit of nobility and elegance to her whole person. I wonder if Nancy Gu knew it was suitable for her just now without even seeing her wearing it?
Just as she was thinking about it, she turned around and walked over. Suddenly she saw him holding her mobile phone. Her expression froze and she couldn't help but walk towards him quickly.
Seeing her coming over, Gu Nanxi, who had been silent since answering the call, handed her the phone directly. She took it doubtfully, and when she saw that it was Qin Muyan calling and the call was connected, she immediately raised her eyes in shock.
, but saw that Gu Nanxi had no expression.
Her expression was one of embarrassment. She hurriedly answered the phone and heard Qin Muyan's unhappy roar over there.
"Uh..." She thought for a long time, wondering whether the two of them had spoken just now, and she didn't know what Qin Muyan said. It took a long time before she uttered such a single sound, which she thought was relatively idiotic.
Qin Muyan heard her voice over there, and the boss asked unhappily: "What? Should I have just heard it?" 13acv.
"What did you just say?" After hearing what he meant, Ji Xinyao suddenly asked directly.
"You really didn't hear what I said? Is there something wrong with the phone? No wonder I've been talking for a long time and you didn't even make a sound!" Qin Muyan's anger subsided, but he still felt uncomfortable.
no sound?
Ji Xinyao turned around hesitantly and saw Gu Nanxi handing the card to the shopping guide for them to swipe. Seeing that his face was unimpressed, it seemed that he had not spoken to Qin Muyan just now, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's possible
The phone is broken..."
"where are you?"
"I'm on a business trip."
"Nonsense, I'm asking you where you are going on a business trip?"
"...Y City." Ji Xinyao's face darkened, why is this guy becoming as difficult to serve as his ancestors day by day.
"When will you come back?"
"Soon, are you busy in the past few days?"
There was a pause and then he said: "It's nothing. Please pay attention to your safety and call me when you come back." After that, he hung up directly.
Ji Xinyao put down her phone and turned to look at Gu Nanxi: "Why did you answer my call?"
He looked at her and sneered sarcastically: "What? Are you afraid that your Qin Muyan will misunderstand you?"
