Chapter Ten: Guarding One's Body Like Jade

  Deng Peng punched the door panel of the office with his right fist, this Chen Gong looked like a fool who didn't understand the rules at all. However, no one or anything could affect his own plan to get rich. "Director Xu, Bureau Chief Chen's car should be replaced, can't use the old Jetta left by the predecessor. Taking advantage of the recent support from the district government for our bureau, we'll write a report and at least assign a Passat to Bureau Chief Chen. Our two deputy directors will also replace their cars with ordinary Buicks, so that your departments can also get rid of those old Jettas."

  The Earthquake Bureau has few cars, except for the three leaders', there is only one broken business car and one broken van, Deng Peng also wants to take this opportunity to upgrade his own ride.

  Director Xu is now quite familiar with Chen Gong's character, so he also suggested that Deng Peng should study this matter for a few more days. However, Deng Peng did not agree and asked if it would be approved by the district if they reported it later.

  Director Xu is too timid, it seems that he has been trained to be honest by Chen Gong. He is afraid of me but I am not afraid of him. Deng Peng asked Director Xu to find someone to write a good report, and then he went to ask Chen Gong to sign it, with at least an additional budget of 200,000 yuan for each car.

  Deng Peng thought it was a good idea, this way he could make 60,000 yuan with the three cars. Director Xu would at most give him 2-3,000 and send him off. If Old Tian Guangrong found out, they would have to pay another 20,000 as hush money.

  Everyone in the Seismological Bureau received a generous bonus, and this year's annual summary meeting was actively participated by all. There were activities, meetings, dinner, and evening parties, with no one leaving early. Leaders who wanted to leave early were ordered by Chen Gong that whoever leaves will be allowed to apply for transfer after the New Year. Seeing how much attention the Seismological Bureau is receiving from the district now, and the work not being too tiring, who would want to leave?

  At the summary meeting, both Deputy District Director Mao Renguang and District Director Yang Xian attended and gave speeches. During lunch, even Yuan Weihua personally came to toast all the comrades in the Seismological Bureau, possibly thinking to himself: Comrades, if an earthquake is going to happen, you must notify me at the first time!

  At night, Wei Shuqin's home, the three of them sat on the sofa after dinner watching Hua Xia national news, watching the US presidential transition, all three of them sighed, these Americans are really interesting, those in power may not necessarily be native to their country.

  "With the end of this presidential election, one of the candidates, black Obama, was elected as the next US president, while the previous president, Chinese Chen Xian, said that he would move out of the White House as soon as possible..." The voice of the host came from the TV.

  Wei Chengxu asked Chen Gong to choose a date after the new year and invite Provincial Bureau Director Wang Shuai over for dinner, as he would inevitably get into trouble with him later. Chen Gong naturally couldn't ask for more and agreed.

  On New Year's Eve, Chen Gong will take Wei Shuqin back to the capital early in the morning. Before leaving, he still has to show his attitude to Wei Chengxu, "Uncle Wei, this time Shuqin follows me to the capital, you can rest assured, if she loses a single hair, I'll be skinned alive, I will take good care of her."

  Wei Chengxu naturally knew that Chen Gong would be good to his daughter, "Once you arrive at the Chen residence, Shuqin will also have to do more chores, don't think of yourself as a government official's daughter, putting on airs and throwing tantrums, understand?"

  "Wei Shuqin stuck out her tongue, 'I wouldn't know, would I? Your daughter is a career woman who can cook and has a sharp tongue, which is quite likable.'"

  Wei Chengxu specially approved Chen Gong's request. Tonight he will sleep in the guest room at home, and tomorrow night he will also sleep here. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and early in the morning he will fly to Beijing.

  Wei Shuqin made thorough preparations for this visit to Chen Gong's home, secretly weaving a scarf for winter use for Chen Gong's mother, selecting a tie for Chen Gong's father. It was said that Chen Gong also had a grandfather, who must be very old and perhaps unable to move around. What should she buy? In the end, Wei Shuqin chose a pair of crutches.

  Wei Shuqin carefully kept all these things secret, she didn't want Chen Gong to know before arriving at his home, as they were all surprises.

  Chen Gong was also lying in the guest room, if Wei Shuqin knew about his family background, she would definitely be scared to death. Originally, I told her that my parents were both people's teachers, but now it seems that won't work out. Dad and mom, grandpa, I'll be back soon, bringing my girlfriend with me, she's very kind and beautiful, you will definitely like her.

  On the last working day before the New Year, Director Xu drafted a report on car purchases according to Deng Peng's intention. After reading the report, Deng Peng smiled and said, "This is money!" "Okay, Director Xu, you can go out first, I'll go find Director Chen to sign it."

  Today is the last day, Chen Gong won't force everyone to pretend to be serious about work. The personnel who are monitoring outside still have to persist, but the staff in the bureau can leave half an hour early, as long as they don't leave without permission halfway through. Chen Gong inspected the entire bureau and found that basically everyone was browsing the internet, reading newspapers, chatting, etc. When they saw Chen Gong coming, they immediately started pretending to work. Chen Gong told them, "You don't have to try so hard today, take a rest, just don't leave your post. If the discipline inspection committee really comes to investigate this small matter of browsing the internet, I'll take responsibility."

  The tactless Deputy Director Deng Peng rushed into Chen Gong's office with a document on the last day, asking him to sign it. After reading the report, Chen Gong asked, "Director Deng, buying a car? Is it necessary?"

  Deng Peng immediately spoke fluently, saying that Chen Gong felt that their earthquake bureau had not bought a car since they purchased one ten years ago, and the cars they are currently using can be scrapped at will.

  Chen Gong thought that Deng Peng, apart from the crooked ideas in his mind and his lack of seriousness in doing things, was quite skilled at bragging. Not even a single cow had been seen in Xin Qiao district, could it be that they were all blown away by Deng Peng?

  Chen Gong was scribbling on the report with his pen, Deng Peng knew Chen Gong was revising it. He didn't refute him, which meant he agreed. Just some minor changes to the content and tone, nothing major. Looks like I'm going to make a profit this time.

  When Deng Peng took over the report, he found that Chen Gong had changed the type of vehicle. Except for the director's Passat, which remained unchanged, the two cars assigned to the deputy directors were changed to off-road vehicles. Although they were not high-end brands, Chen Gong had modified them to Honda CRVs. Deng Peng still thought it was impressive. Now he had both the money and the car, and in the future, he would be more confident on the streets.

  The original ending of this report was that the district finance bureau would directly allocate funds to the earthquake administration's account, and the earthquake administration would be responsible for purchasing it itself. However, Chen Gong modified it to have the district procurement office uniformly purchase it. Deng Peng had a feeling of wanting to spit, but he endured it. There is an off-road vehicle opening, I endured this time.

  After Deng Peng left, Chen Gong looked at his departing figure and thought: You also want to drive an off-road vehicle? Don't even think about it.

  Chen Gong was the last one to leave the office building today. He walked past every office door and took another look at whether there were any unextinguished cigarette butts, unturned-off lights and electricity in the rooms. Only after confirming that everything was OK did Chen Gong leave.

  Today, Wei Chengxu called and wanted to spend a night in the countryside with the peasants, so he won't be back. He also secretly warned Wei Shuqin that nothing should happen between them tonight.

  After that, the two had never held hands, hugged or kissed each other's cheeks. Chen Gong wanted to take advantage of the situation but was unable to do so. When Chen Gong found out that Wei Chengxu would not be coming back tonight, he happily ate an extra bowl of rice.

  A man and a woman were alone in the same room, the atmosphere was really awkward. Originally, when they were together, it wasn't at a restaurant or a movie theater, where there would be many people around. Now, after dinner, the two of them sat on the couch, not far but not close either, just one movement away from pressing each other down.

  Chen Gong swallowed hard, looking like he couldn't take it anymore, and said he wanted to go back to his room to rest. Wei Shuqin suddenly grabbed Chen Gong's hand, "I'm going to take a bath, you just stay here and watch TV, it's only 8 o'clock, can you sleep so early?"

  Long ago, Wei Shuqin had told Chen Gong that she was a virgin, and Chen Gong was delighted. At this age, can you find a virgin in junior high school? He was deeply skeptical.

  Chen Gong was in the living room, but he didn't have the heart to watch TV. He listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom and his mind was filled with passionate scenes. He even thought of a dirty joke.

  It was the woman's first time, and during the process, the man asked her, "Does it hurt?", she replied "it hurts", he then said, "then forget it". The man was about to stop, but the woman held his hand and said, "Don't!"

  The sound of running water stopped, and Wei Shuqin wrapped in a bath towel came out. Except for the middle part of her body covered by the towel, her arms and thighs were exposed outside, white and tender. Chen Gong tried to glance at her with his remaining sight, not daring to look directly.

  Wei Shuqin sat at the other end of the sofa, "I'm wrapped in a bath towel, you can't see anything, what are you nervous about, and deliberately staring at the TV, tell me, what was just played."

  Chen Gong couldn't answer, so Wei Shuqin stood up and prepared to go back to her room to put on her pajamas, which she had forgotten to bring into the bathroom earlier.

  Chen Gong suddenly got some courage and said one word - "Don't!"

  Wei Shuqin stood there at a loss, she didn't know what Chen Gong meant, but in her heart, she thought that even if Chen Gong did something, she wouldn't oppose it, and in her heart, she had already regarded Chen Gong as her husband.

  Chen Gong didn't know what was going on, he only knew that his head was swelling now, and his limbs were a bit disobedient. He walked over to hug Wei Shuqin, and Wei Shuqin's thighs tightly rubbed against Chen Gong's legs. Chen Gong's lower body reacted immediately.

  Wei Shuqin also felt something pressing against her belly, and immediately blushed. Chen Gong kissed Wei Shuqin, at this time, Wei Shuqin's mobile phone suddenly rang.

  Alas, Chen Gong thought to himself, what a disappointment. It seems I'll have to wait another two minutes before letting go of Wei Shuqin.

  Wei Shuqin hung up the phone and Chen Gong was about to pounce again, but Wei Shuqin held him back with her hand. "You go take a shower, I'm going to bed first. We have an early flight tomorrow. If we're late, I won't be able to make it to Beijing this time, and I'll never go again."

  Chen Gong thought for a moment, why didn't he go? Tomorrow would definitely be able to prepare to arrive, forget it, there's always tomorrow, take a bath and sleep.

  Wei Shuqin also quickly escaped back to her room, the phone call just now was made by Wei Chengxu, it's because he was afraid that the two young people couldn't hold back, reminding them both. Wei Shuqin also sorted out her thoughts, right, I'm a little princess, my first time has to be on our wedding night, hmm, can't let him have it easy, I must guard my body like jade.
