Iron Bull Legend

"But how am I going to spend the money? What kind of shoes should I buy with so much money?"

"Buy some rice cookers, some big items like these as special prizes and first prizes, and some bicycles and some suitable daily necessities. In short, we need to spend all this money this year. In addition, we need to buy some suitable prizes for the employees who will perform on stage. We can't let everyone work hard to perform without any reward. Don't you think that's the truth?"

"Are you really going to do it this big? This is really too big. If we continue like this this year, we won't be able to do it next year or the year after next."

"Okay, just listen to me. As long as I'm in Yangcheng, we'll make this Spring Festival party more lively. However, don't publicize it to the outside world. It's only for the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. I'm also using my own money to organize this event. It will be difficult for me to do it if the people below don't know about it."

"Haha, Mayor Tie, I can guarantee with my personal integrity that once this matter is made public, it will be known to the world. Just think about it, how can such a big thing be concealed?"

"Yeah, let's keep it secret for now, and then directly implement the reward policy when the time comes. Isn't that the end of it? If anyone has any opinions, they can come to me directly, and I'll take the blame for everyone."

"Mayor Tie is the one who has the ideas and strategies. Let's do this. We will organize first. However, this matter cannot be concealed from those who have ulterior motives. The news will eventually be leaked out."

"We'll talk about it later. The current municipal party committee and government are also because of the last incident. Everyone should still remember how Director Li died. If anyone still wants to be a gossip, let Director Li go to him."

"Mayor Tie, Director Li has jumped to his death. Let's forget about this matter. Don't scare people with a dead person. That's not good, right?"

"Then let those gossipers shut up and put a seal on their mouths."

"Mayor Tie, do you know how many gossipers will be suffocated to death by this order? Even if they are not suffocated to death, they will at least suffer internal injuries. Come on, those who know about it are the gag order of our municipal government, and those who don't know about it would think that there is a great master in our municipal government."

"I told you, Mayor Ye, that you are a gossip. Look at how you look like. Okay, this matter must be done well and everyone must be happy. Just take care of the arrangements. I will bring my family to attend on that day, right?"

"Mayor Tie, when exactly will it be held? Can you please decide on a date?"

"Let's do it on the 28th at 4pm. We'll have a reunion dinner first, and then we'll have the evening show. Some people from other places will have to go home on the 29th and 30th. We can't be sinners and delay everyone's time to go home, don't you think?"

"Well, let's set the time for 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th. The dinner will start at 4:30. After the dinner, we will start the group party. However, Mayor Tie, you have to be prepared. No one will give up on you at such a wonderful moment. You have to prepare the program in advance, right?"

"It's okay, don't worry about this. I have participated in the national New Year Gala." Tie Niu just finished saying this and immediately realized that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

"Mayor Tie, you are the one who sang My Brothers and Bloodstained..." Before Ye Daying could finish his words, Tie Niu covered his mouth with his hand, because there was a knock on the door outside. Tie Niu quickly gave him a signal not to say anything, and shouted to the outside, "Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and Long Xin's graceful figure stood at the door. When she saw Ye Daying sitting in the room, she smiled apologetically.

"Mayor Tie, Mayor Ye is here too. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll wait outside for a while." Long Xin consciously prepared to leave the room. After all, Ye Daying was also the deputy mayor.

"Secretary Long, I'm about to leave now. I've finished reporting." Ye Daying stood up consciously. The time was up and it was time to fulfill his task. Besides, Long Xin was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, a position higher than his own. According to the rules, he should recuse himself.

"Director Long, please come in. We have finished our discussion. Come in, I'll pour you some tea." Tie Niu stood up from the sofa and went to pour tea. He didn't know where Wang Ping had gone at this time. Although he was a little unhappy, Wang Ping must have something urgent to do, otherwise, he would not be unaware of the rules in this regard.

"Tie Niu, you should know what happened last night? Thanks to the strict defense of the city as a whole and the joint defense team, the situation was not allowed to escalate. I can't help but feel a lot of pressure on my heart. What exactly happened? Why has it been so uneasy these days?" Long Xin asked continuously as soon as he sat down.

"This matter is also related to the follow-up of those assassination organizations. It is a raid on that organization. The country took action last night and the local governments cooperated." Tie Niu smiled and sat opposite Long Xin.

"No wonder Secretary Xiao has been calling all night to follow up on the handling of this matter and has directed the special police team to get involved."

"Well, this is Secretary Xiao's control of the overall situation. I really didn't think of these. Fortunately, the efforts of your overall situation and the joint defense team did not allow the situation to escalate. This was my mistake in control." Tie Niu said with some self-blame.

"Who knew those people would strike back? They deserve to die. They embezzled state-owned assets and communicated with foreign forces. They must be severely punished."

"They should be severely punished, but this case has been handled by the higher authorities, not by our local authorities. Also, it saves our energy, so we can just do a good job of maintaining stability in the local area and ensuring public order during the Spring Festival."

"That's fine. The current unrest has already caused very unfavorable negative news in the entire city. Shouldn't the solving of the case be announced to the public to calm the panic of the citizens?"

"Well, let's announce it to the public. However, we have to strike a balance in the public announcement of this case. That is, it must be consistent with the actions taken by the higher-ups. We cannot go against the actions taken by the higher-ups. Otherwise, there will be problems with the subsequent publicity of this matter."

"So what you mean is to tie this incident together with these two operations and severely crack down on the intrusion of foreign forces against us, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, those people have been handed over to the higher-ups as clues for them to dig out foreign forces. We just need to release the news and not create any more complications."

"When did we get into trouble? It's irresponsible of you to talk like that." Long Xin glared at Tie Niu with a reproachful look, and her charm was even more evident.

"I just said that. Now everyone is cooperating with the work above, which can be regarded as relieving our pressure. Isn't this all true? Also, the comrades who have been working on the front line these days should be rewarded. We can't let everyone work hard without any appreciation."

"Don't worry, you gave me so much money last time, it's just right as a reward this time. Well... I heard that your girlfriend is here? When can you introduce her to him?" Long Xin stammered about something that had nothing to do with work, and his face suddenly turned as red as the sunset.

"Sister Long, haven't I been busy these days? How about tonight, go to Lan's Hotel after get off work, and I'll introduce them to you. Several foreign friends are also coming, haha." Tie Niu is not a fool. He knows what Long Xin is thinking, but he can't have his feet in more than one boat. Isn't that morally corrupt?

"Okay, I don't have time. I've finished my work report. I'm leaving." After saying this, Long Xin stood up and was about to leave, with fatigue and unwillingness on his face.

"Boss, I packed lunch for you. Seeing what you were talking about..." Wang Ping pushed open the door with food in his hand and was stunned for a moment. Deputy Mayor Ye Daying was replaced by the beautiful Director Long Xin, which made him speechless for a moment.

"Put it here. Let's eat together, Director Long. It's getting late." Tie Niu looked up at the time on the wall and then he realized why Wang Ping was not there just now.

"Okay, then I'll have the mayor's lunch here. I wonder what the mayor's lunch treatment is like." Long Xin paused, and sat back down gracefully.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put the food down," Tie Niu scolded Wang Ping, who was standing at the door at a loss. He also sat down in a bad mood. He was about to see the guest off, but suddenly changed his behavior and prepared to have lunch, which made Wang Ping stunned. He quickly walked in, put the food down, and arranged it one by one.

Long Xin didn't even wait for Tie Niu to pick up his chopsticks before he started eating. He was so free and easy like a man. He didn't have the reserve of a lady or the respect of a subordinate. He was so casual and peaceful, just like old friends.

Wang Ping put down the food and walked out of the house. In the past, he always ate with Tie Niu, reporting on work or chatting while eating.

Today, he really understood what was going on. He knew that such a beautiful woman, who held such a high position, had a close relationship with Mayor Tie Niu. So, he didn't want to know how deep the relationship was. After all, he was just a secretary and he just had to do his job well.

Tie Niu also quickly picked up the food and ate it with big mouthfuls. After the meal, there were still many things to deal with. In the next few days, he had to take time to organize investment negotiations for the Provincial Party School, and also pay annual visits to some departments. After all, it would be bad for him not to show up in some departments, even if it was just for show.

"I'm full. The mayor's food and beverage treatment is indeed much better than that in our bureau." Long Xin wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and joked with a smile.

"Alright, Sister Long, it's all the same food, there's no delicacies here, and now that you're saying that, it's as if I did something special. Aren't you making it difficult for me to do my job in the future?"

"Haha, I can say whatever I want. You can use your power to stop me from speaking. By the way, you and your partner must get along well. I... I originally wanted to pursue you, but now that I know your girlfriend is here, forget it. I have to hurry up and find my own happiness. I won't fight you to the end. That's meaningless and doesn't fit my personality."

Long Xin shook her ponytail behind her head in a cool way, looking very free and easy, but her eyes were red, as if tears would fall at the next moment. She didn't know how she managed to eat this meal, and whether it tasted as tasteless as people said.

"Sister, I'm sorry. Xiaocao is my college classmate and we fell in love at first sight." This is all Tie Niu can say now. He has no such experience. He knows that Long Xin has always had a good impression of him, just like a girl pursuing a boy.

So, now his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and he couldn't say anything anymore. This was Tie Niu's true inner thoughts.

"Look at your stupid behavior. As you say in the Northeast, a man should be able to take it and let it go. Look at your character, you are not even as good as a little girl like me. I am so free and easy. Love is love, loss is loss. Wait for me in the next life, and don't let me down like this again." After saying this, Long Xin turned around and left. He left so quickly and so freely, leaving only his back as he disappeared outside the door.

"I..." Tie Niu never said the last sentence. He could only sit dejectedly in his seat, recalling the first time he met Long Xin. He thought he was the prince and mistook her for Long Xiaotian, but when they met, he saw a young southern girl in a flowing skirt.
