“Xiao Ai, I'll pick you up tonight.”
“You go ahead and do your thing. I'll take the bus tonight.”
The rain in Jingzhou was relentless. Sha Bao Yu couldn't bear the thought of his girlfriend taking the bus home from work.
“I’ll buy you a car. It’ll be more convenient for commuting.”
“Just do what makes you happy. Go back, there are so many people watching.”
Sha Bao Yu still wanted to sneak a kiss on his wife, but Zhong Xiao Ai shyly pushed him away.
The couple's affectionate display immediately drew teasing remarks from their colleagues.
“Xiao Ai, this is your boyfriend. The young man is really handsome.”
“A handsome man and a beautiful woman, truly a match made in heaven.”
“Xiao Ai is the most beautiful girl in our procuratorate. You are truly lucky, young man.”
Zhong Xiao Ai stood with her hands behind her back, tiptoeing on her feet and proudly glancing at Sha Bao Yu.
Did you hear that? It's your good fortune, you know.
Sha Bao Yu, not putting on airs, quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his car and handed one to each person present.
“Auntie, Xiao Ai just started working here, please take good care of her.”
“Uncle, Xiao Ai is young and inexperienced. If she has any problems, please help her out.”
…
…
Even old Li, the gatekeeper, wasn't left out. Sha Bao Yu ran over and gave him two packs of cigarettes.
He instantly won everyone's favor.
Everyone didn't care about the cigarettes, the most important thing was the feeling of being respected.
“Then I leave my Xiao Ai in your care.”
Seeing Sha Bao Yu, who usually disliked socializing, being so approachable for her, Zhong Xiao Ai felt as sweet as honey.
“Xiao Ai, take this half-pack of cigarettes to Chief Prosecutor Ji.”
As Sha Bao Yu drove away, his colleagues surrounded Zhong Xiao Ai and gave her thumbs up.
“Xiao Ai, your boyfriend is so good to you.”
“Xiao Ai, it’s obvious you're very important to him.”
“Such a good man, don't let him go.”
Lu Yi Ke, standing aside, watched Zhong Xiao Ai become the darling of the procuratorate and sneered in jealousy.
A pack of cigarettes, and you've all been bought. How cheap.
“Chief Prosecutor Ji, cigarettes.”
The esteemed Miss Zhong family, she really hasn't learned how to give gifts.
She walked into Ji Chang Ming's office, openly carrying the cigarettes.
Old Ji was truly taken aback.
Are young people nowadays so brazen?
Giving gifts so openly.
He was caught in a dilemma.
Not accepting it would be disrespecting the Miss Zhong family.
But accepting it would go against his principles.
“Xiao Ai, no need to be so polite.”
“Chief Prosecutor Ji, these are from my boyfriend. He asked me to give you some. Everyone has some.”
“Oh, I must accept this. It’s your wedding cigarettes in advance, right.”
Seeing that it was a half-pack of loose cigarettes, Ji Chang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and made a joke as he accepted them.
He was a heavy smoker, and his wife was strict. His daily allowance was limited. This half-pack was a relief for him.
During the lunch break, he opened a pack of cigarettes and went to the back staircase, which served as a semi-public smoking area.
“Chief Prosecutor Ji, have one, this is from Zhong Xiao Ai’s boyfriend.”
“These cigarettes have a really good taste. They're better than Hong Nanjing.”
“You’ve taken things from her boyfriend, so you have to take good care of Comrade Xiao Ai.”
Ji Chang Ming eagerly took the cigarette and was about to light it when he caught a glimpse of the words “Glory” on the cigarette end.
Ji Chang Ming suddenly remembered something and quickly turned the cigarette around. As expected, he saw the words “Shishi Special Supply.”
The only time he had smoked this cigarette was in the office of Secretary He of Hantong Province.
At that time, Secretary He, who always treated things generously, only dared to distribute a few packs. Then he treasured the rest.
“These are special supply cigarettes. I got them from an old leader.”
Ji Chang Ming, unwilling to put the cigarette in his pocket, blurted out.
“These are special supply cigarettes.”
He then took out a Hong Nanjing and happily took a drag.
“What are special supply cigarettes?”
“These are cigarettes specially made by Shishi Tobacco Factory, specifically for leaders. They basically never circulate outside.”
Ji Chang Ming pointed at the words on the pack, afraid that they wouldn't understand.
Everyone understood the value of the cigarettes. They followed his example and carefully tucked them away in their pockets.
Those who had already lit theirs quickly put out the flame and put them away.
However, everyone couldn't help but wonder about the identity of Zhong Xiao Ai's boyfriend.
He didn't treat these precious cigarettes as anything special and handed them out in whole packs.
Seeing their reaction, Ji Chang Ming felt proud. He had a whole half-pack in his possession.
Secretary He would probably be envious of this amount.
