Chapter 121: Confrontation (3)

  Xu Shaojie certainly wouldn't feel dizzy, he knew that this was a dance hall, everyone came to have fun and celebrate Huang Meng's birthday, today's protagonist was Huang Meng.

  "Alright, I don't dare to think about being a pop star. If I had that kind of talent, I wouldn't have to rely on a few hundred yuan salary every month now. Today is Huang Meng's birthday, you all go sing karaoke, we're all colleagues, but it's just me singing, not very interesting."

  "Xu Secretary, you're really forcing me to sing, and you've even shown the demeanor of a singer. What's the meaning of going up there? Alright, red flowers also need green leaves as accompaniment, I'll grit my teeth and make a fool of myself."

  "Qian Kechang, I didn't say you're a duck, it's what you said yourself."

  Qiao Yurong burst out laughing, and Li Heqing, who was a bit serious, couldn't help but smile. Qian Dazhi's face turned bright red as he thought for a moment, then didn't know how to defend himself. He simply stopped speaking, walked to the middle of the dance hall, and picked up the microphone.

  At this time, Luo Xuan walked over with a wine glass, followed by several beautiful girls from the dance hall.

  "Secretary Xu, Director Li, Director Qiao, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I'd like to propose a toast. Secretary Xu, please take care of me from now on."

  Xu Shaojie stood up naturally, and toasted with Luo Xuan. Several girls from the dance hall sat down on the sofa, Luo Xuan introduced that everyone could dance and sing with them. Luo Xuan especially mentioned that Secretary Xu's singing was really good.

  When Qian Dazhi started singing, the celebratory atmosphere of Huang Meng's birthday had already passed, and it was time for everyone to have fun. In the dance pool, some people had already started dancing. Luo Xuan invited Huang Meng to dance again, while Xu Shaojie hadn't invited anyone to dance yet. He sat on the sofa, listening to Qian Dazhi's singing, casually snacking on melon seeds.

  Li Heqing's somewhat serious attitude made Xu Shaojie feel a bit uncomfortable. Actually, Li Heqing wasn't very old, around 40 years old, and perhaps because he rarely came to such places, he sat quietly, spoke little, didn't sing or dance, and the girls sitting next to him, probably at Luo Xuan's request, didn't make any flirtatious moves.

  Xu Shaojie had thought that in this kind of setting, he could relax a bit and tell some jokes, but Li Heqing's attitude made it impossible for Xu Shaojie to say anything, so he just sat there silently. Xu Shaojie couldn't help but think of Qian Dazhi, who was still singing, and how much more lively he was than Li Heqing.

  When the singing started again, Qiao Yurong stood up and looked at Xu Shaojie. Xu Shaojie understood the implication and quickly got up to invite Qiao Yurong to dance. As they entered the dance floor, Xu Shaojie saw a girl inviting Qian Dazhi to dance, while two other girls started talking to Li Heqing and raised their glasses.

  Qiao Yurong's dance was quite good, and Xu Shaojie felt very relaxed. In the municipal party committee office, when Xu Shaojie and Qiao Yurong were together, he felt most at ease. Qiao Yurong didn't have many thoughts, she was straightforward and not like a typical woman. Moreover, Qiao Yurong cared about Xu Shaojie deeply. Although Xu Shaojie had become the secretary of the municipal party committee, Qiao Yurong remained the same, without any major changes. Xu Shaojie knew that Qiao Yurong didn't have any political ambitions and never thought about promotions. Xu Shaojie had heard that Qiao Yurong wanted to be transferred to the logistics department and had already proposed it to Secretary Liao, but because Qiao Yurong was indeed capable and meticulous, no adjustments were made.

  "Secretary Xu, I didn't expect you to sing and dance so well. Why haven't we seen your girlfriend? I heard you're dating someone from the provincial city. When will you introduce her to us?"

  "Alright, I'll definitely ask for your advice and opinions when the time comes. However, my girlfriend can't be compared to you, sis - someone as excellent as you is really rare."

  "You're really good at talking, you're already a secretary, but be careful, or one day Big Sister will get the better of you."

  "Hehe, with Sister Qiao, I can speak freely without any worries. Sigh, in the office, we have to be careful with what we say and do, even walking needs to be done with caution."

  "There's no way, the municipal party committee office is different from ordinary units. I've been working in the office for many years and have always thought about transferring out, women inside work get old especially fast."

  "Big sister doesn't look old at all, she looks young and elegant, I'm afraid there are still many pursuers."

  "Haha, that's just you daring to talk to me like this. Think about our colleagues in the office, they're always so serious and never crack a smile."

  Xu Shaojie and Qiao Yurong returned to their seats, several girls and Li Heqing had become familiar with each other. The beer on the table was opened, and they were drinking with Li Heqing. Drinking beer in winter is still a bit uncomfortable, but Li Heqing became much more lively, repeatedly asking Xu Shaojie and Qian Dazhi for help. Because of Li Heqing's change in attitude, the atmosphere became much more lively, and several girls revealed their bold personalities, no longer caring about each other's identities. They filled cup after cup with beer. After Xu Shaojie drank three cups of beer in a row, he felt like he couldn't take it anymore. When the music started, he rushed to the dance floor to dance.

  Huang Meng never came, and was with a large group of women, laughing and chatting. These women were probably Huang Meng's good friends. The ones who sang next were also mostly women. Some sang well, while others didn't. Anyway, after they finished singing, the dance hall would erupt in warm applause.

  Time slowly passed, and soon the waltz music started. The lights in the ballroom suddenly dimmed. It turned out that every time there was a 10-minute break in the ballroom, a very long slow-paced waltz would play, and in the almost invisible dance pool, many couples could let loose freely. Of course, there were also many people who enjoyed this slow-paced music.

  This dance, men will not easily invite women to dance, most of the time, it is women who invite men. Of course, in the dance pool, there are still more girls dancing with each other. Li Heqing had already let go, a girl pulled Li Heqing into the dance pool, Qian Dazhi was also pulled into the dance pool by another girl, Qiao Yurong paired up with a girl and entered the dance pool, Xu Shaojie was thinking of going out to relax and get some fresh air when Huang Meng came over and invited Xu Shaojie to dance.

  Xu Shaojie didn't know what to say, today is Huang Meng's birthday, and he couldn't ruin the mood.

  Two people entered the dance floor, Xu Shaojie adjusted his posture according to the standard of dancing. Who knew that Huang Meng didn't follow the posture at all, instead she wrapped her arms around Xu Shaojie's waist and whispered a sentence in his ear.

  "Xu Secretary is hugging me, now everyone dances like this."

  Xu Shaojie was trembling with fear as he hugged Huang Meng. Huang Meng's clothes were not thick, and his outer garment had already been removed. Xu Shaojie could...

  Enough to feel Huang Meng's soft body, the two of them swayed to the rhythm of the music, slowly dancing in the dance pool, gradually, Xu Shaojie felt that Huang Meng had already gotten close to his body, and there was almost no distance between them.

  Xu Shaojie didn't dare to move, Huang Meng's proud twin peaks had already come into contact with Xu Shaojie's body, soft and elastic. Xu Shaojie slowly felt dizzy. Huang Meng's body had a mature woman's fragrance, the fragrance directly poured into Xu Shaojie's nostrils, making Xu Shaojie's heart flutter.

  "Secretary Xu, don't you look down on me and think I'm a bad woman?"

  "No, no, Huang Meng, I didn't mean it that way, this afternoon is really busy."

  "Secretary Xu, I'm so glad you can come to my birthday party. I've seen too many people like me, and I feel like I'm not a good woman either, but I didn't do it willingly."

  "Huang Meng, I didn't mean it that way, I think you're really great."

  Huang Meng's body was already leaning against Xu Shaojie's chest, this dance posture was really too ambiguous, from the perspective of others, it was almost as if Xu Shaojie was embracing Huang Meng while dancing. Xu Shaojie looked around nervously and found that no one was paying attention to them, everyone was basically in this same pose, coming to the song and dance hall was originally for leisure and entertainment, occasionally seeking some excitement, no one would pay attention to you.

  "Secretary Xu, my life is not happy. My husband has been away from home for a long time. I've always wanted to live a good life, but after the child went missing, I became desperate. Women are originally weak, everyone wants someone to care about and love them, but I didn't get it. So, I thought of finding happiness myself. Maybe my choice was not good or the method was wrong, but I'm not a bad woman. Working in the municipal committee office, every day facing serious faces, but under some serious faces, what's hidden may not be kind intentions. Today's matter, I apologize."

  "Huang Meng, you don't have to apologize, nothing happened today."

  "Xu Secretary, but I think something is going on."

  Huang Meng suddenly lifted his head, looking at Xu Shaojie. Xu Shaojie felt Huang Meng's gaze was particularly clear, not that kind of lustful gaze. Moreover, Huang Meng's body had already tightly leaned against Xu Shaojie's chest, with both hands tightly embracing Xu Shaojie's waist. Xu Shaojie completely felt Huang Meng's body. Xu Shaojie knew that at this moment, if he lectured, it would undoubtedly appear hypocritical.

  "Huang Meng, I don't know why you're like this, but my view is different. If you were single, my attitude would be completely different. I think what you might also understand. First of all, I'd like to declare that I'm using a small-minded person's perspective to measure your noble character. Is there something you want to do or some request you have? Speak up! If I can do it, I definitely won't refuse. Between us, we don't need to exchange anything."

  Huang Meng's body trembled slightly, she hadn't expected Xu Shaojie to say such words. Most of the men she had met were eager and impatient, but Xu Shaojie was completely different. Huang Meng had already felt the changes in Xu Shaojie's body, and he was clearly struggling to restrain himself. Such a man was rare, and Huang Meng suddenly felt a strange sensation.

  "Secretary Xu, thank you for saying that, I do have ideas, but I never thought of helping without a reason."

  "Huang Meng, speak up, maybe I can help."

  "Well, I just don't want to work in the typing room anymore. At the municipal office, I've always been working in the typing room. It's not good for my eyes after a long time. I heard that working on computers for a long time can cause radiation."

  "Oh, is that so? Haven't you reflected this to your leader?"

  Xu Shaojie suddenly found himself asking something superfluous, at this moment, his IQ was also too low.

  "Huang Meng, this matter, I'll try my best to think of a solution for you. I don't dare guarantee it, but I will work hard."

  "Secretary Xu, thank you."

  Huang Meng's face was pressed against Xu Shaojie's chest, this was no longer a dance in the general sense.

  Xu Shaojie didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, which belonged to Luo Xuan, the boss of the disco. Luo Xuan had feelings for Huang Meng and felt deeply about her. So when he saw Huang Meng's initial attitude towards Xu Shaojie, he thought something was off. Whenever Huang Meng saw other people, she would be enthusiastic, but only enthusiastic. However, when she saw Xu Shaojie, her attitude was different - amidst the enthusiasm, there was a hint of desire.

  When Luo Xuan offered Xu Shaojie a toast, he felt that Xu didn't have any lecherous intentions at all. As someone who had met countless people in the disco, Luo Xuan roughly understood what was going on. He felt bitter inside but couldn't say anything - after all, he and Huang Meng didn't have any relationship, so he wasn't qualified to speak up.

  When Huang Meng invited Xu Shaojie to dance, Luo Xuan felt a pang of sadness in his heart. This dance should be the one he shared with Huang Meng.

  After the dance ended, Xu Shaojie was already drenched in sweat.

  Luoxuan raised his wine glass and came over again, arriving at the first moment. He wanted to see what kind of expression Xu Shaojie had. A person's instantaneous expression can reflect their inner thoughts. Luoxuan saw that Xu Shaojie's face was filled with a relieved and liberated expression, and he understood.

  Luo Xuan is not an ordinary person, he can make a living in Huaiyang City and is the boss of a song and dance hall. It's not simple to deal with the people who come to the hall, they are from all walks of life, and you need to have the ability to handle them. The most important thing is that opening a song and dance hall requires connections, if there is no one to protect it, the police will come to check every other day, and it's not worth opening. Luo Xuan's anger in his heart disappeared without a trace at the first moment, what he thought of was that he must make friends with this Xu Shaojie.

  "Secretary Xu, let me toast you another glass of wine, Director Xu will surely take good care of you from now on."

  Xu Shaojie, who was still in a state of shock, did not lose his head. The change in Luo Xuan's attitude made Xu Shaojie feel something. In society, what kind of friends do you need to have? Luo Xuan looked very good and was able to open a song and dance hall in Huaiyang City, which must be very capable. Xu Shaojie accepted the olive branch thrown by Luo Xuan.

  "Boss Luo, I wish you a thriving business. As for me, I'm just a small fry, but Boss Luo has great connections and is a big shot. From now on, please take good care of me."

  The two of them burst out laughing and downed their drinks in one gulp.

  Xu Shaojie returned home, it was already 12 o'clock at night, Zhang Xiaoyu was still waiting for Xu Shaojie. As soon as Xu Shaojie entered the house, he tightly hugged Zhang Xiaoyu, Xu Shaojie was out of breath, and Zhang Xiaoyu's lips were sealed by Xu Shaojie. This entwined night made Zhang Xiaoyu feel Xu Shaojie's bravery once again.
