During the PK period, I'm asking for pink tickets, PK tickets, recomndation tickets; we're only 70 points short and can add another update tonight, guys. A single pink ticket is worth 20 points, oh.
"Luo, please have a seat and rest for a bit. I'll go let the boss know!" Secretary Huang hurriedly stopped Luo Ye, who was about to head inside, wondering to himself why the daughter of Mayor Luo, having been brought up in such an environnt, lacked such basic manners and politeness.
"Uncle, my dad often takes us to visit Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu and my dad are from the sa hotown, it's not necessary to be so formal!" Luo Ye continued to play dumb. She knew her current behavior was extrely impolite and uneducated, but compared to her whole family's lives, none of that mattered anymore.
Secretary Huang couldn't help but frown. No wonder Mayor Luo never ntioned his children in public. If it weren't for the boss, he wouldn't have known the Mayor had a son and a daughter. Could the son be like this too?
Seeing Secretary Huang stepping towards the inner room, Luo Ye quickly followed. To truly make the surprise attack successful, she was determined to be shaless to the end today.
Secretary Huang frowned even more. Had he known the child was so ignorant, he wouldn't have let her in. Why not just send her directly to Mayor Luo?
Seeing Secretary Huang turn back, Luo Ye smiled innocently, "Uncle, as the younger generation, we should take the initiative to visit our elders. It's the proper thing to do, hehe..."
"Xiao Luo, it's not convenient for you to accompany Uncle to see Uncle Liu right now. Can you sit on the sofa for a while, is that okay?" At this point, Secretary Huang really wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to deal with such a troublemaker?
Luo Ye, at her age, would seem foolish if she continued pretending. She was pondering her next move when suddenly, the door to the inner office swung open and there stood Secretary of the Municipal Committee Liu Zhengxing, dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit and looking dignified.
"Little Yezi?" Seeing Luo Ye standing next to Secretary Huang and facing the door clearly, Liu Zhengxing was surprised, then he smiled kindly, "What brings you here? Did you co to see your uncle especially?"
"Is... is... oh... not..." Luo Ye's incoherent response made Liu Zhengxing smile, "What's this 'is' or 'isn't', what is actually going on?" He asked, turning his gaze to Secretary Huang.
"Well, it's like this..."
As Secretary Huang began to thoroughly explain the situation to Liu Zhengxing, Luo Ye stared intently at Liu through the gaps in her fringe, her fingers pinching her palm painfully. She thought she could act calm, she thought she could call him "Uncle Liu" calmly, but when it ca down to it, she just couldn't! She really couldn't!
This seemingly kind and universally respected leader was actually a devil in disguise, soone who would consu people without spitting out their bones. She now felt the urge to rush up and tear him apart! She wanted to carve the words "pretender" and "villain" clearly into his sanctimonious face. She wanted...
"Little Yezi, do you have a fever? You're shivering quite badly!" Liu Zhengxing said as he reached his hand toward Luo Ye. With an effort to suppress the anger in her heart, she forced a smile, "Maybe, I'm feeling even worse now!" As she spoke, she pretended to hold a gun to her temple, "Right here, it's thumping, just like having a gun pointed at !"
When saying the last sentence, Luo Ye stared hard at Liu Zhengxing. If he too had been reborn, she believed, he must show so change in his expression after her gesture. She had used this very motion to shoot him in his terrified eyes before. She didn't believe he could remain utterly unperturbed after seeing this gesture, especially with her sudden appearance before him. Even if he had trained into a deity, he couldn't!
She knew such a maneuver was risky; if the other party had been reborn, it would imdiately expose the fact that she was too. But she had no choice; Liu Zhengxing ten years later had beco cunning, and without such a provocation, he probably wouldn't show a flicker of emotion in his eyes!
Liu Zhengxing laughed amusedly, "Little Yezi, your uncle finds you more amusing than before. If a gun were really pointed at your temple, you'd collapse in fear!
Silly girl, your uncle has so cold dicine here. Take it and rest for a while, I'll call your dad. He must be getting anxious not seeing you by now." Saying this, he instructed Secretary Huang, "Xiao Huang, call Zhang Jun to prepare the car. We're going to Huangcheng District. The district governnt there has been surrounded by petitioners; what a commotion!"
Luo Ye sat on the sofa with her head lowered, concealing her emotions. She really admired Liu Zhengxing's craftiness. In public, he constantly wore a kind face, rushing to address any issues the people faced. And yet, considering all the dark deeds he committed behind the scenes, he was truly a man of two faces!
...
"Smack!" Luo Zhenggang slapped his hand furiously on the table.
Wen Xin reflexively shuddered and hurriedly advised Luo Zhenggang, "Zhenggang, don't be angry, take your ti talking to the child, she's sick right now!"
"Cough!... Cough..." Luo Ye coughed twice in cooperation.
"Hehe..." Luo Zhenggang suddenly laughed out of anger, "Stop being so cunning. You don't cough earlier or later, just as soon as your mom stops talking, you start coughing? Enjoying pretending to be sick?"
"I'm not pretending!" Luo Ye protested, her face flushed with indignation.
Luo Zhenggang looked at Wen Xin, "Give her the thermoter!"
"I'll go to my room and take my temperature for dad. I'm grown up now!" Luo Ye took the thermoter and tried to slip away, knowing very well that if she asured her temperature now, she would be found out.
"How old are you, even older than your Grandpa?" Luo Zhenggang was no longer angry. He suddenly realized that his timid and cowardly daughter had beco braver.
"Pfft!" Wen Xin quickly covered her mouth, "You guys continue!"
"Dad understands what I an!" Luo Ye's mind raced.
Luo Zhenggang nodded, "You can turn around and put the thermoter under your armpit!"
"Alright then!" Luo Ye started coughing furiously with the thermoter in place, praying in her heart for the temperature to rise, rise, rise...
Luo Zhenggang was amused, "Coughing yourself to death won't help. I forgot to tell you, your dad has learned Traditional Chinese dicine. Although I'm not an expert, I still know how to observe, listen, inquire and feel the pulse! With your complexion, you're claiming a cold? If you said you ran too much this morning and now your muscles ache, I might believe that. Admit it, why did you go see Uncle Liu?"
"When did dad learn Traditional Chinese dicine, and from whom?" Luo Ye ignored the last question.
"That's none of your business, answer my question!" Luo Zhenggang's face turned stern, "You are my daughter, I can't say I know you one hundred percent, but I understand your courage. Tell the truth, did you take any benefits from soone or were you threatened?"
"No, I just wanted to see dad's office, and then took a wrong turn, nothing else!" She wanted to invent soone who threatened her, but unfortunately, Luo Zhenggang would surely investigate such a matter, and she had nothing to fabricate, so she decided to stick to her denial.
"What's so interesting about my office?" Luo Zhenggang was puzzled as well, he certainly rembered the child wanting to go to his office in the morning, but there must be a reason, right?
"My deskmate Ying Nuo's dad is the head of the Police Station, and Ying Nuo's dad really dotes on her, often taking her to the office to do howork. I've always been so envious!
I just really wanted to see what dad's office was like. Dad, don't worry, I didn't plan on telling anyone. I won't reveal dad's identity, I just wanted to satisfy my own curiosity secretly!" This excuse aligned with her current identity, and Luo Ye internally breathed a sigh of relief.
