Paper rose

Chapter 5 It's been many years since I haven't been a fairy (3)
Kang Jian was only depressed for a while, but soon he worked vigorously again, and was soon promoted to be the assistant to the mayor.

In May, he accompanied the mayor in charge of culture and education to Binjiang No. 50 Middle School to cut the ribbon for the [-]th anniversary celebration. When he took a group photo with the faculty and staff, he saw a beautiful figure that often appeared when he dreamed back at midnight.

The blue sky, daytime, and bright sunshine, Kang Jian closed his eyes uncomfortably.

"Kang Zhu?"

Kang Jian opened his eyes, looking at the simply enlarged face in front of him in surprise, not knowing where he was for a moment.

"Jiangtian Hotel is here." Simply opened the car door.

Kang Jian let out an oh, quickly straightened his clothes, and stepped out of the car door.

Binjiang City is going to apply to become a national "tourist city, garden city, and sanitation city". Tonight, Kang Jian will give an important mobilization speech in the lecture hall of Jiangtian Hotel.

In the lecture hall, important figures from the media and various departments have gathered together.

Kang Jian never used a script in his speeches, and the topics involved were orderly, clear-cut and logical, with very little nonsense, and without any modal particles. He grasped the essence in a few words and was clear and clear.His memory is even more astonishing. He never makes mistakes in quoting such cumbersome data.The most important thing is to be vivid.First of all, the Mandarin is very standard, the voice is pleasant, and the rhythm is very well grasped, the speed of speech is tense and relaxed, and the body language should be rich.Every time he speaks, he strives to be concise and crisp, and he can speak for as few minutes as possible.Many female cadres said in private that watching Kang Jian's speech is very enjoyable for both eyes and ears.

Kang Jian walked up to the podium gracefully, smiling, and said in his usual elegant tone amidst the flashing eyes full of expectations: "Thank you for coming, this speech is 10 minutes long, I hope you have listened to it. Afterwards, contribute a little to the urban construction of our city."

Then, he started.

Kang Jian remembered that Mr. Lin Yutang said: Speech should be like a girl's skirt, the shorter the better, language is far from omnipotent.

Four or 10 minutes was not long, after several bursts of thunderous applause, Kang Jian bowed on the stage, and the speech ended.

A longer rain of applause erupted in the lecture hall.

Kang Jian scanned the audience indifferently, and his eyes suddenly fell on the door of the lecture hall, which was crowded with many people who heard the applause and rushed over to watch the excitement.

Bai Yan and Lin Feng stood in the middle.

Lin Feng suddenly sighed softly: "I don't know what kind of woman can be shocked by such a man?"

Bai Yan pursed her lips, "Whether the shock can be sustained or not is not something we worry about."

"It doesn't matter if you can't shake it." Lin Feng shrugged, "Being able to marry this man is already a very glorious thing."

Bai Yan squinted at her, and said with a teasing smile: "Your husband makes you look down?"

Lin Feng blushed and gritted his teeth, "I'm just expressing my feelings. Of course my husband is fine."

"But why do I sound so sour?"

"White Goose..."

Lin Feng raised his hand to hit Bai Yan, Bai Yan flashed playfully, squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

Lin Feng chased and killed them all the way.

"Bai Yan!" Someone shouted from behind.

Lin Feng stopped, listening to the voice that sounded like the speaker just now, and looked back.Kang Jian passed her without looking sideways, and walked straight to Bai Yan who was panting with laughter.

Bai Yan stopped laughing, bent over slightly, like a hotel service lady, crossed her hands in front of her, and looked at Kang Jian respectfully: "Leader Kang, good evening."

Kang Jian frowned, didn't pay attention to the eyes projected from the aisle, and went straight to Bai Yan and stopped, "What a coincidence, are you meeting with friends here?"

"Returning to the leader, it's not a party, but a colleague's wedding. I came out to breathe and was attracted by the applause. It was a great honor to listen to the wonderful speech of Leader Kang." Bai Yan laughed again, dimpled.

"Since it's a wedding, there must be a lot of tables!" Kang Jian's tone was very peaceful, and his handsome eyes were unusually bright.

"More than 30 tables, I didn't count them in detail. Leader Kang, you are busy, I will go ahead..."

"There are so many wine tables, I definitely don't mind a few more guests!" Kang Jian hurriedly blocked Bai Yan's words.

Bai Yan thought unkindly: Is this leader Kang going to eat and drink?
"Secretary Jian and Secretary Wu and I came here directly from the office, and we haven't had dinner yet." Kang Jian added.

"The restaurant below the hotel should still be open." Bai Yan blinked and reminded him friendly.

"Go down now, order again, and wait for it to be cooked. I don't know how long it will be. Are you afraid that we won't pay the gift money, Secretary Jane?" Kang Jian turned around.

"Don't, don't..." Bai Yan almost reached out to cover his mouth, "Boss Kang, it's a blessing for the couple to have you come to my colleague's wedding. But..." She tilted her head Nod, and the tone was drawn out, "I only get married once in my life, and I finally became the protagonist once. If you are such a big person, won't you overwhelm the host?"

Kang Jian let out a sigh, understood, and spread his hands, "It seems that I am an unwelcome person, forget it, let's go out to eat. Do you have any clothes in it?" He pointed to the restaurant not far away.

Bai Yan was stunned, this "we" includes her?She was invited here, and she paid a huge gift.At present, she doesn't even have a boyfriend, and it's nowhere in sight to get back the cost. The only way to comfort her injured wallet is to eat and drink more tonight.

"Boss Kang, if you leave the meeting halfway, my colleagues will be angry. Hehe, Boss Kang, you go well, I wish you a good appetite tonight." She stepped aside without showing any signs.

"Are you a bridesmaid?" Kang Jian remained motionless with piercing eyes.

"no no."

"Then let's go, there are hundreds of guests, and there will be one less that no one will notice. Hurry up, I'm really hungry." Kang Jian suddenly looked at Lin Feng, a beautiful woman who was standing aside in the mist, and said, "You Is it Bai Yan's colleague, please go in and help her get her clothes, if anyone asks, please say hello to her. Thank you!" Very polite but impossible to refuse.

Lin Feng nodded as if hypnotized, walked directly into the restaurant without asking Bai Yan, took Bai Yan's coat and bag, and came out quickly.

Bai Yan still kept a smile on his face, but the smile only wandered in the distance and never reached his eyes.

Kang Jian took her coat and bag, thanked Lin Feng again, and walked towards the elevator gracefully.

Jian Jian and Secretary Wu have been waiting at the elevator entrance for a while.

"Is he your relative?" Lin Feng was really curious, she could hear Kang Jian and Bai Yan's tone of voice very familiar.

Bai Yan stared at Kang Jian's back, and rolled his eyes towards the ceiling, "If I have such a relative, why don't I walk sideways in the hospital early?"

Lin Feng's pretty long eyelashes fluttered non-stop, "Then who are you?"

"The relationship between the leader and the led."

The elevator door opened, and Lin Feng watched Bai Yan walk into the elevator, his long black hair swaying lightly on his shoulders.

The driver had already driven the car to the entrance of the hotel. Kang Jian said something in a low voice and briefly. Jian Jian glanced at Bai Yan, smiled, and opened the car door. Secretary Wu sat in the front, he sat in the back, and the car drove away.

"There is a pedestrian street in front of it. There is a very authentic Beijing roast duck restaurant. Let's go there to fill our stomachs." Kang Jian said, walking down the stairs side by side with Bai Yan.On the street, he walked around Bai Yan and walked on the outside of her.

"You also know this kind of small restaurant?" Bai Yan asked in surprise.

"You think I don't eat fireworks?"

"What you are eating is the fireworks of the world, which are the fireworks that ordinary people eat!"

Kang Jian seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled, "People only have different divisions of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low. If I don't work overtime at night, I will often go out to drink with my secretaries." However, such opportunities are rare.

While talking, he has arrived at the roast duck restaurant.

There are round tables in the store, and there are also tables for couples facing each other. Kang Jian went inside to get a small square table, and Bai Yan pulled down his sleeve, "Leader Kang, we want a private room."

"There's no need for two people, it's better to eat outside." Kang Jian sat down gracefully and picked up the menu.

Bai Yan swallowed, and looked around the store, sure enough, Kang Jian's face that often appeared on TV had already attracted the attention of other customers, and whispers came from all directions.

Bai Yan closed his eyes, forget it, he is not afraid of rumors affecting his great future, what else is she afraid of?
The two ordered two stir-fries, one soup, and half a duck. They didn't ask for wine, and they served the main food directly.The duck is really roasted well, the sauce is very authentic, but the onion is a bit old.

Kang Jian seemed to be famished, he didn't talk much during the dinner and concentrated on eating.Halfway through, the phone rang twice. He turned it on to check it, and then pressed it off. Later, the phone rang again and he turned it off.

Bai Yan ate a little at the banquet, and it was dinner again, fearing that he would get fat if he ate too much, so he only picked up a few chopsticks to stir-fry vegetables, then held a cup of hot tea, warmed his hands, and took a sip for a long time.

Even if he was sitting in a small restaurant in an easy-going way and mingled with ordinary people, the coldness and nobleness on Kang Jian's brows still couldn't be ignored.A dragon is a dragon, and a worm is a worm, Bai Yan said with emotion.

After paying the bill, he stood at the door, the cold wind made Bai Yan tremble.

"Boss Kang, will someone come to pick you up or take a taxi back?" After the meal was finished, it was natural for her to leave, saying that she still had lingering fears about the last "walk in the rain".

Kang Jian looked at the street lights in the night, "I'm too full, can you walk with me?"

Does she say no?Tonight, Bai Yan had learned Leader Kang's decisive work style. He who knows current affairs is a hero. She looked at him with a smile, "It's my honor."

The two walked slowly along the pedestrian street, made many turns, stopped in front of several shops, commented on the merchandise in the window, passed through the People's Square, and passed a farmer's market. Bai Yan stopped in his tracks.

"Leader Kang, do you know the prices of vegetables and fish in the current season?"

Kang Jian was taken aback for a moment, and frowned habitually.

The wind was a bit strong, Bai Yan turned up the collar of his coat, and smiled calmly, "I knew it when I was five years old, and I was good at bargaining. Leader Kang, what were you doing when you were five years old?"

five years old?Learning Chinese painting or learning the violin, or the cousin who came back from abroad teaching him to practice English conversation?Kang Jian stood under the dim light in front of the farmer's market, quietly watching Bai Yan's big blinking eyes twinkling with misty light.

"You see we have had no common interests since we were young. Leader Kang, your time is like the warm sunshine, and should be spread to the vast land of Binjiang. Don't waste it on me, I will feel guilty. Thank you for asking me For dinner, if you have any orders, ask Secretary Jane to call me. I'll help you take a taxi." She ran to the middle of the road and held out her hand to stop the car.

She was really smart, seeing through his intentions, and once again rejected him gently but resolutely.

But she was wrong, if he was so easy to dismiss, they wouldn't be standing here together now.

Kang Jian grabbed her hand that was outstretched in the wind, "Bai Yan, wait a minute. We used to be not from the same country, but given a chance for us to get along, we will have a common language, common hobbies, and gradually become compatriots."

"There is no possibility." Bai Yan wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it tighter.

"You haven't tried it yet, how do you know it's impossible?" Kang Jian's eyes were burning like a torch.

Bai Yan laughed and shook her head: "Leader Kang, what do you like about me?"

"The beginning of a relationship is not an arithmetic problem. There must be a standard answer. Your eyes, your tone of voice, and your every little action are all reasons, can you? Bai Yan, I am very serious. Be me Girlfriend, let's get along and see."

"I can work in the kitchen, but I can't go to the living room. Leader Kang, please sharpen your eyes and see clearly. Don't ruin a pillar like you in my hands." Bai Yan persuaded earnestly, with a strong feeling in his heart. Feeling powerless, this person is really a muscle.

Kang Jian replied very seriously: "If it is really ruined, I have no complaints or regrets. I personally think that a successful pillar has nothing to do with whether the other half can get into the hall or not."

Bai Yan didn't answer, but just looked at him incredulously.

"You are really brave." After a long time, she let out a breath and bit her lips, "Leader Kang, I am flattered by your favor for me, and of course I have some small vanity. I won't say anything, How about this, you can find a private detective, or go to the public security department to find a caring person, go to the Yunxian Yue Opera Troupe, and quietly inquire about my family's situation, and then you will understand why we are not the same country."

"it is good."

"Then let go!" Bai Yan's lips turned pale, and his body trembled from the cold.

Kang Jian held her hand stubbornly, stopped a taxi, and took her back to the apartment before saying goodbye.

Bai Yan is almost sure that after parting tonight, the two of them will immediately form two parallel lines that extend infinitely, and there will be no more meeting day.

Going to work, leaving get off work, the days have turned over many pages peacefully.

Kang Jian didn't call again, and nothing like Encounter happened again, Bai Yan almost forgot about this episode.It was only when I accidentally turned to Binjiang TV while watching TV, and saw Kang Jian in a meeting or visiting on the screen, that I remembered that I also knew this person.

At the beginning of November, all ministries, commissions and bureaus organized all employees to attend the annual physical examination in the hospital. This is the benefit of the unit and a good opportunity for the hospital to generate income. All examination departments have increased their manpower and worked overtime to receive medical examiners.

Liu Jing happened to be in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic this month, and she was so tired that she complained endlessly, calling Bai Yan good luck.

Bai Yan told her very unsympathetically that he would take three consecutive days off.

Liu Jing wants to cry but has no tears.

In the case of three days off in a row, usually Bai Yan worked two night shifts, followed by Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Bai Yan returned to the apartment, took a hot bath, washed his clothes, tidied up the house, ate something, and then fell asleep with his head covered.

Sleeping drowsily, I was suddenly awakened by a rapid ringtone. At first I thought it was an alarm clock, but when I opened my eyes, I realized it was a mobile phone.

"Hey..." Bai Yan closed his eyes and was close to half-sleeping again.

"Bai Yan, why aren't you in the hospital?"

In response to Kang Jian's voice, Bai Yan murmured, "I'm on vacation, what's up?"

"I'm in the B-ultrasound room."

Bai Yan opened her eyes suddenly, thinking of something reflexively, she took a breath and tried to keep her voice calm, "Leader Kang, did the inspection find something bad? Don't worry, it can be eradicated if it is found early. of……"

"What are you talking about?" Kang Jian interrupted her, "I haven't had a B-ultrasound yet! I just went to the operating room to look for you, but I didn't see anyone. After a while, let's have breakfast together. It's you who came to the hospital Or should I pick you up? The medical examination is over, and I have nothing else to do in the morning."

Bai Yan felt that her brain was a little out of control, she sat up slowly, leaned against the back of the bed, looked out the window, it seemed that the sky was bright, but there was no sun.

"Leader Kang, when you exit the hospital gate, you can find Yonghe Soymilk to the left, and Da Niang Dumplings to the right. The breakfasts at any of them are good and not expensive."

"Kang Zhu, it's your turn..." A loud voice broke into the airwaves.

Kang Jian closed the phone, and Bai Yan lay back on the bed again, covered with a quilt, just when he was dazed, "Bang, bang..." Someone knocked on the door hastily.

Bai Yan really wanted to go crazy, sat up from the bed with a bang, disheveled her head, pulled her face, and complained impatiently: "Come on, come on!"

As soon as the door opened, it closed again with a "snap" in the next second. She clutched her heart, and all sleepiness disappeared.

Kang Jian Yushu stood outside the door as if facing the wind.

"Bai Yan?"

"Hehe," she laughed, rushed into the bedroom in a panic, put on a coat, combed it with her hands, tied her hair into a bundle, wiped her face with a cold towel, and then opened the door, "Leader Kang, please!"

Kang Jian gave her a sideways look, and handed her the paper bag in his hand.

She took it, and the paper bag was still a little hot. She looked down and saw that there were rice balls, soy milk, and shrimp dumplings for two.

"You..." She raised her head with a puzzled expression.

"I've been so busy in the city to meet the inspection from the higher authorities for the establishment of a civilized city that I didn't bother to call you." Kang Jian rubbed his forehead, making an explanation for the quiet days before, "Yun I have had people go to the county, but it doesn’t really matter whether I go or not, Bai Yan is still the Bai Yan I know.”

Bai Yan's eyes widened, "You...don't care about that?"
