Chapter 608: Taking the Wrong Path
Although Du Fei was deeply impressed by Li Yuanchao, they did not have any real contact.
To put it bluntly, whether Li Yuanchao lived or died had nothing to do with Du Fei.
Moreover, Li Yuanchao being the captain of the 24th school was not all bad, but also had advantages, it was just a matter of perspective.
The disadvantages were obvious, which was very detrimental to his future career.
The advantage was that he would establish an extraordinary prestige among the children of the compound of this generation.
If he did business in the future, it would be very convenient.
Given Li Yuanchao's background, his elders could not fail to see these consequences.
But they did not remind or stop him, but let him do whatever he wanted. There were only two possibilities.
Either they were too exhausted to take care of themselves.
Or they just went with the flow and treated Li Yuanchao as an abandoned child.
The Li family was not the only one in Li Yuanchao's family. He had two older brothers, and they were both doing well.
It was not unacceptable for Li Yuanchao to give up his career.
After finishing the work, Du Fei and Zhou Peng rode back to the street office.
They just happened to see Section Chief Qian coming back from outside.
Section Chief Qian's face was slightly flushed, probably because he drank, but he didn't drink too much.
When the two sides met, Du Fei laughed and said, "Uncle, what good food is there for lunch? Why are you so drunk?"
Section Chief Qian glared and pointed at Du Fei, "You kid!"
Zhou Peng next to him also greeted him.
The three of them entered the yard, Zhou Peng went back to the office by himself, and Du Fei went with Section Chief Qian.
Section Chief Qian walked out of the front door, handed Du Fei a cigarette, and asked, "Do you know who I had lunch with at noon?"
When Du Fei heard Section Chief Qian ask this, he knew that the lunch treat must be related to him.
Recently, the only people who can be related to Du Fei about Section Chief Qian are the third uncle and Principal Li.
As soon as Du Fei said it, he guessed it right.
Section Chief Qian laughed and said, "It's just the two of them. They are willing to sacrifice their own money and go to Quanjude in the middle of the day."
Du Fei said, "Are you going to help?"
Section Chief Qian said, "Why not? It's just a matter of going with the flow. I'm already this age and can still do it for a few more years. If I help, I'll get a favor, but if I don't help, I'll offend people."
Du Fei thought so.
But on second thought, it might not be that simple.
It is estimated that Principal Li gave Section Chief Qian something that he couldn't refuse.
But Section Chief Qian didn't say it, and Du Fei was too lazy to ask, so as not to annoy others.
But the third uncle went to Dongzhimen Middle School, and he would find a chance to talk to him later.
At the same time, in the district.
On the third floor of the office building, in a north-facing office.
Li Zhiming sat behind a large desk.
Since he was promoted to deputy director, he also got a separate office.
Zhang Huabing stood opposite the desk. He probably ran up the stairs in a hurry. He said before he could catch his breath, "Director Li, it was just confirmed this morning that Li Yuanchao was nominated as the captain of the 24-school alliance."
Li Zhiming's eyes fixed, and then his expression was a little complicated. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
This surprised Zhang Huabing.
He couldn't wait to run over, originally wanting to report the good news.
He thought Li Zhiming would be overjoyed to hear the news, but the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.
Zhang Huabing reacted quickly and stopped talking immediately.
He was afraid that he would not flatter the horse well and hit the horse's hoof.
Fortunately, Li Zhiming adjusted his mentality in just a moment, smiled at Zhang Huabing and said, "Very good! This is just the first step, you go back and continue to act according to the plan."
Zhang Huabing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed with a smile, "Director, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
Li Zhiming said, "Hmm", and then asked, "By the way, last time you came to talk about that... what was his name?"
Zhang Huabing immediately followed up, "Are you talking about Guo Baozhu?"
Li Zhiming said, "Yes, how is he doing now?"
Zhang Huabing smiled and said, "Very smoothly, Guo Baozhu has basically taken over Zhang Ye's people. But he is not as famous as Zhang Ye outside the school. Many of the people who followed Zhang Ye in other schools are still watching..."
Li Zhiming said calmly, "It doesn't matter, there is no need to make such a big fuss, as long as there are a few people who dare to be ruthless."
Zhang Huabing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this, "How many people dare to be ruthless! What does Li Zhiming want to do?"
In fact, he still doesn't know Li Zhiming's entire plan.
Hearing this, Zhang Huabing felt a little uneasy. <
br>
Du Fei, who had returned to the office, was also uneasy.
Because he had just arrived at the office, he sensed Xiao Hei's emotional fluctuations.
Ci Xin, the homegirl, actually came out!
Du Fei was startled and immediately lay on the table to take a nap, and his vision was synchronized.
He thought to himself, after several days, what is Ci Xin going to do?
Could it be that she had calculated that Du Fei must have been on guard in the past few days, and deliberately forbeared, waiting for a long time, Du Fei felt that nothing was wrong, and relaxed his vigilance before making a move?
Du Fei was calculating while keeping an eye on Ci Xin's movements.
At this time, Ci Xin had changed out of her monk robes, wearing military green clothes and pants, and Liberation shoes on her feet, which was quite in tune.
She wore a woolen hat on her head, so people couldn't tell that she was bald.
In addition, she wore a pair of glasses, which made her look gentle and refined.
Not to mention, when she dressed like this, she really looked like an older literary young woman.
Ci Xin went out, riding a 90% new Fei Ge women's bicycle, but she did not go south, but went straight west.
Du Fei said "Huh".
Ningcui Temple is outside the north city. If Ci Xin wants to find trouble with him, she should go directly south and enter Anding Gate.
Whether she goes to Du Fei's house to ambush or waits for him to get off work and kill him halfway, there is time to arrange calmly.
But why is she riding westward?
Is this woman up to something else?
Ci Xin rides very fast. After a while, she arrives near the zoo and turns south.
Soon she enters a military compound next to Zhu Ting's house.
Du Fei sees it all. He doesn't know what Ci Xin is up to, but it must be against him.
However, although Ci Xin is a woman with high martial arts skills, she is not blindly reckless. She must have been holding back when she came here today.
Through Xiao Wu's vision, Du Fei saw Ci Xin negotiate with the guard at the door.
The guard made a phone call and let her go.
Ci Xin passed the gate, rode the bike again, and came to a two-story building in the center of the yard.
Du Fei knew at a glance that the person living here was not ordinary.
This location is basically the same as Zhu Ting's home in the government compound.
Du Fei vaguely realized that it was not easy to deal with it. Ci Xin, this woman, actually had a backer!
But on second thought, Ci Xin's background, although she was an illegitimate daughter, should be more aware of the power of the officialdom.
And she has a lot of skills, which can be called a strange person. It must not be difficult for her to make friends with some people, especially female volunteers.
Sure enough, after Ci Xin entered the house, Du Fei asked Xiao Hei Luo to find a window that could see the living room and land on the branches outside.
This small building was clean and bright, and it was clear to see through the window.
The person who received Ci Xin was a woman in her thirties who looked quite good.
Although she was not as good as Ci Xin, she must have been a first-class beauty when she was young.
The two of them were obviously very familiar with each other, and Ci Xin also seemed very talkative, not like an old housewife at all. From time to time, the two laughed.
After talking for about half an hour, they got up and went to a room upstairs.
Xiao Hei walked around and found the room they were in.
There were curtains on the windows and lights on inside.
But the curtains were not drawn properly, and there was a little gap on the edge. Du Fei adjusted his vision angle to see inside.
He actually saw the woman taking off her clothes in the room.
Du Fei's heart moved, and he thought, "Fuck, what's going on here?"
But he soon understood.
The woman was very straightforward, she took off all her clothes and climbed onto the bed next to her.
Ci Xin took out a leather bag from the shoulder bag she brought.
After opening it, it was full of rows of silver needles.
Ci Xin took it out, dipped it in alcohol cotton, and wiped the silver needles one by one to disinfect them.
After a while, two rows of needles were inserted into the woman's body from head to toe...
"After all this fuss, it's time to get the needles." Du Fei thought to himself, thinking that he would see something more exciting.
Du Fei cut off his vision and rubbed his temples with his hands.
He had been curious about what Ci Xin wanted to do just now, and he had been watching for a long time, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After a moment, he recovered.
Sun Lan on the opposite side asked with concern, "Xiao Du, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Du Fei was promoted to deputy section chief before, and Sun Lan called him Section Chief Du, but Du Fei refused.
Du Fei smiled and said that he was fine.
But he was thinking about what happened just now.
Who is the woman in the compound?
Did Ci Xin plan it long ago, or was she specifically targeting him and making preparations?
It must be said that Ci Xin was more difficult to deal with than he expected.
If Ci Xin relied on force, it would be easier to deal with.
After all, this is not ancient times, and personal force is too insignificant in front of the national machine.
But Ci Xin's routine made Du Fei feel pressured.
Wait until the evening after get off work.
Du Fei did not pick up Zhu Ting, but rode his bike directly to Chu Cheng and Zhou Xiaoli's house.
Since getting married, Chu Cheng's unit has allocated a house to him, which is in a tube building near Sanliang Station.
But tube buildings are also different from tube buildings.
Chu Chengcheng's living conditions were quite good when he arrived here. The house was not small, nearly 40 square meters.
Although the toilet and kitchen outside were shared, there was still enough space for three families.
Unlike some tube-shaped buildings, cooking was done by setting up stoves in the corridor.
Du Fei went downstairs and took a piece of pork head from his portable space.
It was summer, and he bought half a pig head from a grocery store. He ate half and had half left.
There was no fear of it going bad if he put it in his portable space.
When he came upstairs, before entering the house, he saw Zhou Xiaoli and two other young women busy in the kitchen.
There was no range hood inside, and three pots were cooking together, making the air smoky.
Zhou Xiaoli wore an apron and sleeves, holding a pot lid in one hand and a shovel in the other, looking like a sword and shield soldier on the battlefield.
Du Fei laughed and said, "Zhou Xiaoli, I never thought you would end up like this!"
Zhou Xiaoli looked back and rolled her eyes at Du Fei, but she was so nervous that she didn't have time to say anything back before she started staring at the pot again.
Du Fei saw how serious she was, so he couldn't laugh at her anymore.
No matter what time, people who work hard should not be laughed at.
Du Fei said, "I'll bring a piece of pork head, you cut it, mash some garlic, and I'll have a couple of drinks with Lao Chu tonight."
Zhou Xiaoli said without even turning her head, "Put it on the chopping board."
Du Fei took a look and found three chopping boards placed in different places in the kitchen. Which one should he put it on?
Luckily, Zhou Xiaoli replied, "The one under the window."
"Okay~" Du Fei responded, put down the pork head, turned around and walked out to the opposite side.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Cheng coming out and said with a smile, "I heard it was you in the room just now. I haven't seen you for a few days, but you still know how to come."
Du Fei curled his lips, "Am I afraid of disturbing someone's wedding?" He bumped Chu Cheng with his shoulder and said mischievously, "How long has it been, and you two haven't made any move yet?"
Chu Cheng also became a veteran, hehe said, "Why don't we plan to have children now? We are still young and want to wait two years before we talk."
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "Tsk, that's nice to say."
It's probably because Chu Ming wasn't pregnant either. Her elder brother got married first and didn't have a child yet, but her younger brother got pregnant first.
In this day and age, there is always something not so good.
However, Du Fei didn't answer the question, and instead asked, "What good wine do you have at home? I brought some pork head, let's drink some today."
Chu Chengdao said, "If there is no good wine, there are only two bottles of chrysanthemum white."
Du Fei said with disdain, "Look at you, you are such a bear. Uncle Chu is so old and he drinks so much, but you don't want to go home and drink."
Chu Cheng rolled his eyes, "You think I am you! I don't have the courage."
Du Fei pouted, "Don't you dare, let Zhou Xiaoli take it~ Your father still wants to talk about his daughter-in-law?"
Chu Cheng was stunned. He was a real person. He had never thought about this before. He subconsciously said, "That's right!"
But before she could finish her words, Zhou Xiaoli came in with a plate. While placing vinegar-braised cabbage slices and cut pork heads on the table, she said angrily, "Du Fei, what's your bad idea again!"
Du Fei laughed.
Zhou Xiaoli said, "You two drink first, I have another dish and I'll cut some luncheon meat." Then she glared at Du Fei, "You didn't tell me in advance that you were coming, and you didn't prepare anything."
Du Fei joked, "It seems that you are ready. You
It can be made like a state banquet. "
Zhou Xiaoli was so angry that her cheeks suddenly bulged, "Can you speak? Why didn't I realize that you were so irritating when you were in school?"
Then he turned around and left.
Chu Cheng and Du Fei looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Then he took out two bottles of chrysanthemum white from the cabinet.
In fact, the white color of chrysanthemum cannot be said to be bad. In the early days, it was also given to the emperor in the tribute palace, but it is not as famous as Fenjiu and Maotai.
Chu Cheng opened a bottle, took three wine cups, and prepared one for Zhou Xiaoli.
Pour the wine and the two of them drink first.
Chu Cheng took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of pig head meat with a kuaizi, and brought it to his mouth. He was stunned, "Hey~ Where did you buy this pig head meat? It's still a little warm!"
Du Fei said with a bad smile, "Can you please keep it warm? I put a slice in the crunchy nest."
Chu Cheng was stunned, knowing that he was joking, and cursed, "Get out of here~ Especially if you put it in the creaking nest, I can eat it even if it is put in the crotch."
"Fuck you, you're cruel!" Du Fei picked up the wine cup and the two of them had sex.
The wine cup is a small three-cent cup, one mouthful, just the right size.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Xiaoli finally came back, carrying two plates, one with fried shredded potatoes, and the other with half of the lunch meat and the other half of fried peanuts.
Du Fei took a few bites, not to mention that Zhou Xiaoli was really good at it. Although she was not up to the level of a chef, she was better than an ordinary housewife.
When Du Fei got tipsy, he remembered where Ci Xin went during the day.
Zhou Xiaoli and Chu Cheng both grew up in compounds, and especially know who lives in the first few buildings of each compound.
Du Fei said, "Hey, do you two know who lives in Building 3 of the military compound next to Xiaoting's house?"
Zhou Xiaoli and Chu Cheng were stunned and looked at Du Fei together.
Chu Chenggang picked up the wine cup, put it down and said, "Why do you ask?"
Du Fei said, "I offended someone two days ago, and I happened to go to this house. I don't know what the relationship was, but I wanted to find out. I know quite well."
Chu Cheng frowned, and Zhou Xiaoli interrupted, "How did you offend me? Does Sister Ting know?"
Du Fei said, "I haven't told Xiaoting yet, but it's actually not a big deal."
Zhou Xiaoli said, "Why isn't it a big deal? You must explain this matter clearly to Sister Ting. It's best to mention it to Uncle Zhu as well."
Du Fei's heart trembled, "Are you so difficult to mess with?"
Chu Chengdao said, "Let me tell you this, the hostess of Building No. 3 is named Zheng. Her sister is the director of the Municipal Women's Department, and she has a very good relationship with Director Jiang of the Propaganda Department."
Du Fei was also surprised when he heard this.
He was even more certain in his heart that this bitch Ci Xin was definitely not interested in drinking!
But then I thought about it, if Ci Xin really took this path, it might not be a bad thing for Du Fei.
After all, what really scares Du Fei about Ci Xin is her unpredictable skills.
But once she wants to use her connections to persuade Du Fei, she must be bound within the rules.
Because in this circle, no one likes those who break the rules.
It is equivalent to giving up the option of using force in disguise.
Cixin's understanding of Du Fei mainly came from Wang Qiye.
According to Du Fei's understanding of Wang Qiye, this old boy would never have a heart-to-heart relationship with Ci Xin.
So I'm afraid Ci Xin still doesn't know Du Fei's true heel.
As for Ci Xin's method of making connections, Du Fei could roughly guess it.
Even though she is nearly fifty years old, she still looks like a young woman in her early thirties, which shows that Ci Xin is very good at maintaining beauty.
For women, this was originally a big killer.
After all, which woman doesn’t want to stay young forever.
But just based on this, it is not difficult for her to become a guest of honor for some women, but it is not easy to get others to help her do things.
Moreover, Du Fei is not a person without roots or factions. It is not easy to force Du Fei.
Du Fei thought about these things and relaxed instead.
This time, Ci Xin thought she was smart, but she took the wrong path from the beginning. Let's see how she will jump up and down next.
Then, Du Fei mentioned another thing.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoli had already left the table. Although she had a good alcohol tolerance, she only drank two glasses for the sake of taste.
Du Fei picked up the wine cup and clinked it with Chu Cheng. "By the way, Lao Chu, you have to do me a favor these two days."
