After leaving the municipal party committee compound, Fang Sheng called Ainia's cell phone and said with a smile:

"I love the deputy general manager, and I won't inform me of the promotion. It's not interesting enough."

Ainia said in a shocking tone as always: "What is the surprise that I am looking forward to?"

It was Fang Sheng's turn to be surprised: "What do you mean...was he sure of this step as early as when he was the vice president of the Human Resources Department?"

"Want to know the inside story? Come to the provincial capital. I have time tonight. The old rules are the same, takeout and coffee." After that, I hung up the phone.

Fang Sheng looked at the phone and pondered silently.

Since the incident of sleeping and touching at her house last time, the two have been in contact, but they have never met each other. I don’t know that because both parties are very busy at work, they will still avoid embarrassment. This time, she took the initiative to invite him and asked him to drink coffee at home without grudges, as if a sign of reconciliation.

I would rather work harder and rush back to Huanghai early tomorrow than let her down.

"Go to the provincial capital." He said to Xiao Si after getting in the car.

It was already the lights when I arrived at the provincial capital. As usual, Ainia opened the door for him in formal clothes. The table was filled with strong and fragrant coffee and Chinese food takeaway.

"How to arrange for the evening?" she asked without any thoughts while having supper.

Fang Sheng understood what she meant and said, "I booked a quick hotel nearby and returned to Huanghai tomorrow morning." When he said this, he plucked up his courage and joked, "Even if you try to keep me, I won't dare to sleep here."

She said lightly: "Of course it is impossible to keep it. If the misunderstanding happened again last time, I'm afraid you will be more courageous and have a substantial relationship."

Fang Sheng almost choked with a mouthful of food in his throat, and his back was covered in cold sweat in an instant. He thought to himself that she was so straightforward and sharp, and could say such words. He slapped the food in his chest a few times and said with a forced smile:

"You are a noble goddess. How dare we ordinary people have evil thoughts? That's something that even we dare not think about."

Ainia frowned: "You can't even coax girls like this? I really can't figure out why you deceived Zhao Yaoyao and Bai Ling."

Fang Sheng was sweating profusely again.

What's wrong with her tonight? What's wrong with her?

"But I am not an ordinary girl, it's better not to use ordinary methods in front of me."

She didn't know what she wanted to express, so Fang Sheng didn't dare to talk to her and focused on her meal.

After packing up the dishes and serving the coffee again, Ainia asked:

"How old are you this year?"

"Thirty." Fang Sheng replied honestly.

"Still at thirty," she sighed, "Now you have Zhao Yaoyao by your side, Bai Ling has given birth to a son for you. If you have a son, everything will be enough. Your life should be very happy."

"well……"

Fang Sheng keenly felt that her mood was very special tonight, which was very different from usual. He didn't understand what was going on, so he had to lower his head to drink coffee.

"As a grassroots cadre, he is a deputy director at the age of 30 and is a member of the county party committee standing committee. He has been promoted like a rocket and has repeatedly and extraordinary promotion, which has caused a lot of criticism. How old do you know I am?"

A woman’s age is a secret, let alone an unmarried girl.

Fang Sheng shook his head.

"Thirty-one, one year older than you," she said, "The news that I am the deputy general manager of Yiguan has only caused a little turmoil within the company, and the outside world is not aware of it. Perhaps in everyone's opinion, it is not a big deal to graduate from Tsinghua University and a Wall Street intern in charge of this position, but I don't know that when Yiguan was a subsidiary of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission five years ago, the deputy general manager was at the deputy department level."

Fang Sheng was shocked: "Yes, I am a 30-year-old deputy director-level officer, and I am the focus of all aspects and have become the target of everyone's criticism. However, you are thirty-one-year-old deputy director-level officer silently. What a powerful secret visit to Chen Cang!"

"Not only that, if I become a regular general manager three or four years later, no one will find it abnormal, right? But if you try to be the county party secretary at the age of 35, you have to be a hairless person and do not do anything securely!"

"It takes a long way to go from a full-time standing committee member to a county party secretary, not as simple as your deputy general manager to a general manager." Fang Sheng shook his head and sighed.

She said quietly: "So this is the way to promote the officialdom in my choice."

Fang Sheng was stunned. He thought about her words just now and thought it was very interesting: the officialdom struggle was too fierce, too bloody, too cruel, and if he was not careful, he might be ruined. Compared with the promotion of a half-official and half-business red-top company, it is easier and unobtrusive, and his performance is real. Whoever is responsible for the project belongs to whom, and even if others are jealous, they will not be able to rob him.

Thinking about many central enterprises, isn’t it the same with monopoly enterprises? A large number of red children are filled with them. On the one hand, they are playing karate and making huge profits. On the other hand, they are quickly promoted. At a young age, they are often at department level, department level, and vice minister level in their thirties. When the wealth is almost accumulated, they will be parachuted into the officialdom to take on actual positions, laying a solid foundation for their future career.

"I guess... this special path is carefully planned for you?" he asked.

She sipped coffee slowly and said for a long time: "I know why I chose the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University back then?"

“Like the economy?”

"No, I have no interest in economics at all - I only know how to study hard in high school. Actually, I don't really like majors, but the School of Economics and Management is the best at Tsinghua University except architecture. Girls are not suitable for design. As the top scorer in the college entrance examination, of course I have to choose the best thing."

"But you have excellent grades at Tsinghua University and you get scholarships every semester."

"Because I work hard, as long as I choose, I must do my best. Of course, I won't tell you how much rest I gave up during college and stay in the library, nor how many sleepless nights I spent before each exam."

"Later, I went to Wall Street, which is full of talents and fiercely competitive. Are you deliberately going to go against yourself?"

This sentence seemed to touch the most hidden thing deep in Ania's heart. Her face changed drastically. She glared at Fang Sheng for a long time, making his whole body furrowed, and she wanted to find a reason to leave quickly.

"You are right. I was deliberately trying to perish myself. It was a self-abuse in a sense," she finally returned to normal and said slowly. "Didn't I say I have any psychological problems? Self-abuse leads to disgust for marriage, which spreads to the relationship between men and women."

Fang Sheng was dumbfounded and realized that tonight would be an unusual night and could not speak for a moment.

But she continued, "You must be very curious about why I abuse myself? Or, what is the reason for self-abuse? I think I can tell you now, because you are the only friend I can reveal the truth and trust..."

"Don't say it, why bother to uncover your scars?" Fang Sheng instinctively felt that there must be a bloody story, so he said he would stop him.

"It's okay to say it, just treat it as a spiritual baptism," she looked as usual. "I have accepted everything that happened to me, so I will not lie on your shoulders and cry, nor will I throw myself into your arms. I don't want to do those little girls' tricks."

This joke is very cold, and Ainia's joke is always very cold. Fang Sheng can only smile bitterly.

"I remember not long after we met, I told you the history of the blank file. One of the things that lied - I said that after I was admitted to the county high school, I asked the principal to reduce the tuition fees. The beast asked me to sleep with him. I delayed it until the third year of high school," she sighed deeply, "In fact, how could it be possible to delay? I was slept by him since the beginning of high school..."

Fang Sheng stood up in shock, and in excitement, he knocked over the coffee cup, causing a stir.

"From the first year to the third year of high school, he was called to the office or dormitory almost every month, for the name of individual conversation. In fact, most teachers understand what's going on. There should be several girls like me, but due to his tyranny, the teachers and students dare not speak out. Until the second semester of the third year of high school, he actually..." Speaking of this, she rarely showed a hint of shame on her face, "I asked me to use my mouth... Although I did not shamefully exchange my body for completion of my studies, but I had the bottom line and dignity. When the patience reached the limit, it was an outbreak, so I pulled out the scissors... Afterwards, the scissors became the key to the qualitative situation. If I had planned it in advance, it would be a criminal case of intentional injury; if the scissors were not mine, but were picked up unintentionally during a fight, it would be a self-defense..."

"You said you kept hiding scissors on your body in high school." Fang Sheng remembered what she said last time.

"Yes, I have planned for a long time and are ready to take action suddenly when I can't bear the humiliation," she said coldly, "his relative easily manipulated the judicial authorities to characterize me as intentional injury. At that time, on the one hand, I won the first place in science in the province, and on the other hand, a teacher bravely stood up and said that he asked me to bring a pair of scissors to the classroom that day, so there was no intentional injury. The county knew that his testimony was full of flaws, but considering that the reputation of the top scorer in the college entrance examination was hard-won, he had the intention to protect me, and this was just a step, and everyone was very happy."

"Shameless beast in clothes should be cut into pieces!" Fang Sheng said gritting his teeth.

She suddenly smiled strangely: "Does it make you feel like Xiaolongnu is defiled by Yin Zhiping?"

It was another cold joke, it was so hard that she could still laugh at this time.

"I didn't expect you to read martial arts novels too."

"It's just a pastime... It's because I was played with by that beast for more than two years that my girlhood generation was covered with a deep shadow, and it also caused a strong sense of uncleanness. I always feel that I'm particularly dirty and not worthy of living a normal girl's life. Then I naturally have a slight tendency to be self-harm. Fortunately, it's not a substantial harm to the body, but choose to study..."

"It should be the greatest self-abuse in the world," Fang Sheng tried to ease the atmosphere, "You succeeded in an alternative way."

Ainia smiled bitterly and said, "But when I received the appointment letter from the deputy general manager, I suddenly remembered whether the price I paid was too high. In order to get out of the poor and ignorant mountain village, I used my youth to exchange for a future, but lost the happiness of ordinary girls, laughter and love. Is such success worth it?"

"But you said you were determined to do something!"
