The charm of spy wars lies in the tricks of life

Chapter 31: Think Twice Before Becoming an Official

The sofa heals fatigue and relieves burden. Liu Xiong sits there, and it seems that the world is quiet.

His wife, Zhou Manli, who is thirteen years younger than him, has a rosy complexion and glowing skin. Her every move is filled with a charm that makes men feel impulsive.

The cheongsam fits tightly to the body, and the hair is tied up, revealing the beautiful peaks of Emei eyebrows that represent wisdom.

With a smile on her face, she patiently and gently helps children learn.

After the desk lamp went out, Liu Wenyu obediently went into the bedroom to rest. Zhou Manli covered him with a quilt, then walked gracefully into the living room and glanced at Liu Fangxiong on the sofa.

She walked to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of red wine, placed them gently on the table, swayed her delicate body, and sat on the sofa on the other side.

Liu Xiong looked at his virtuous and gentle wife, and a faint smile appeared on his face despite his depressed mood.

Zhou Manli sipped her red wine and opened her red lips slightly: "Old Liu, what happened? Tell me about it."

Liu Xiong also took a sip of wine, raised his head and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Zhou Manli swirled her wine glass with her slender fingers, her brows furrowed. "I'm now the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and my son is Liu Wenyu. My heart is with the Liu family, not with my mother's Zhou family. Don't worry, just tell me."

Liu Xiong felt warm at heart when he heard this, and smiled awkwardly: "It's not because of this reason that I don't want to tell you, but because I care too much about you and I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable. Since you want to listen, I'll tell you what's going on."

Under the dim light and moonlit night, Liu Xiong recounted everything that had happened today in detail and seriously.

Zhou Manli's face turned serious: "Old Liu, you still remember to think twice before serving as an official, right?"

Liu Xiong: "Manli, what you said is, think about advancing, thinking about retreating, and thinking about change."

Zhou Manli nodded: "Yes, people need to know themselves, it is important to be self-aware, and not think too much.

"Boss Dai intended to let Lisheng go up, and if you blocked his way, you would be going against him, which is really stupid.

"The most frightening thing for people is to let greed cloud their wisdom. You can't stop what they want to promote, and you can't keep what they don't want to use.

"You should know better than me how much Boss Dai is valued by the Chairman these days.

"You should now be thinking about how to retreat and retain your position of real power. The key lies in thinking about change.

"You must resign from this position before Boss Dai finds out. Boss Dai, mindful of your years of service and your loyalty and understanding, will definitely not leave you without an explanation.

"This is a retreat, and change depends on which department you are suitable for and which department will attract the attention of the chairman and boss Dai.

"Money is the most important thing now. The Nationalist government asked Zhang Zhizhong to build and deploy defenses on the Sufu Line and Xicheng Line north of Shanghai, and the cost of this is absolutely necessary.

"Old Liu, your advantage lies in your loyalty and their trust in you. So, take the initiative to transfer to an industrial and commercial unit and grab the money. Chairman, Boss Dai will be very happy.

"Because they need loyal people who can keep an eye on the money and slightly restrain the four major families.

"The four major families won't act recklessly. You are like the eyes of the central government, and you can even get along well with the four major families.

“The Statistics Bureau is full of murderous intentions right now. We need people who are good at fighting, not people who are good at catering and managing relationships.

"Old Liu, it's time to think about retreating and changing."

Liu Xiong secretly admired his wife for always being so far-sighted and magnanimous.

He loved everything about Zhou Manli, her intelligence, generosity, beauty, figure, eyes... everything about her.

Deep down, he has always been subservient to others, fawning and flattering them, just to be worthy of her.

I still remember that war, with its foul smell and corpses everywhere. All I wanted was to see Zhou Manli again, even just for a single glance.

This wife, who is thirteen years younger than him, always makes him feel that he is not worthy of her.

Liu Xiong didn't say anything, but just looked at those beautiful eyes silently, and finally nodded.

He puts on airs and tries to keep up appearances in public, but in fact it is because he always feels that he is not worthy of Manli and he is trying to fill that insecurity.

Zhou Manli was so beautiful in the light, the light accompanied by wisdom, coupled with her voluptuous and curvy figure, she completely captivated Liu Fangxiong. ……………………

In the dark night, some people are confused, some are sad, and some are troubled.

Under the yellow lights of the pub, Wei Xiong accompanied Xiang Ning, and drank to relieve his worries.

Wei Xiong, wearing a brown jacket and black trousers, would occasionally tease the waitress who served the drinks.

Xiang Ning, wearing a white vest and blue trousers, had a rather indifferent expression, not paying much attention to the surrounding debauchery. "Another drink."

Wei Xiong glanced at Xiang Ning and patted his shoulder. "Don't drink anymore. You have to go to work tomorrow. I have an idea. If you can decipher the code book of this radio station, the director might be happier."

Xiang Ning's face was painful, but his eyes were firm. "Isn't that a piece of cake? I just feel aggrieved. The director treats me really well, but I have implicated him and everyone else.

"Old Wei, do you think I should go to the director's house to show my loyalty and make a self-criticism?"

At this time, a girl with bells tied on her legs walked in. Her short skirt just covered her hip line, and the bells jingled all the way. It was not known whether it was the white legs or the bells that attracted the drunk men, and they could not take their eyes off them.

Wei Xiong ignored Xiang Ning and stood up to greet the woman. He smiled with his fat face, "My name is Wei Xiong. Are you here to get drunk?"

The white-legged woman sneered, "Have you heard of the poisonous rose? It's easy to get beaten up if you flirt with me."

Wei Xiong smiled confidently: "Don't look at me as fat, I'm actually very strong. Not only can I withstand a beating, but I can also use a spear to fight. I can fight all night long and until dawn."

Xiang Ning looked at Wei Xiong and shook his head. He stood up and walked out of the tavern, then walked towards Zhou Lisheng's house in a daze.

"bang bang"

"Who is it?"

"The director is me, Xiang Ning."

Zhou Lisheng still held the gun in his hand. When he opened the door, he saw Xiang Ning standing unsteadily and reeking of alcohol.

When Xiang Ning saw Zhou Lisheng, he knelt down immediately, tears streaming down his face: "Director, I was wrong. I was ignorant and spoke nonsense, which made you embarrassed and also implicated the Second Department.

"Whether to kill or chop, it's all up to the director."

Zhou Lisheng's face was as dull as dead water: "Get up first, what's the point of a man crying?"

Li Xiangwen saw the drunken, weeping man kneeling at the door. She smiled, ignored him, and went straight back to the bedroom. Wearing pajamas, the woman wanted to avoid suspicion.

Xiang Ning: "The director won't forgive me. I can't get up. I have to keep kneeling."

Zhou Lisheng said helplessly: "Stand up, it's good that you admit your mistake, but you must never make such mistakes again in the future. If you do it again, you will be dismissed and detained."

Xiang Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Director. From now on, I will die for you and serve you like a dog or a horse."

Zhou Lisheng: "Okay, go home. Remember to drink more hot water after drinking."

When Xiang Ning heard this, tears streamed down her face again: "Thank you, Director."

After Xiang Ning left, crying and laughing, Zhou Lisheng whispered, "How much did you drink?"

Zhou Lisheng returned to the bedroom. Li Xiangwen looked at him with a charming smile, revealing her long legs, curled up and rubbed against him, with a spring breeze in her eyes.

Biting her red lips lightly, she said coquettishly: "Lisheng..."

Zhou Lisheng pounced on him, but before he started fighting, the annoying phone rang.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Lisheng."

"Hello, Chief Zhou, this is the Jiuqiao Police Station. Chief Wei got drunk and started an argument, so he opened fire."

Zhou Lisheng's head was buzzing. "Damn it! Xiang Ning got drunk, and then Wei Xiong got drunk. All the people in my bureau are drunkards."
