Chapter 661 Difficult Choice
The more Xue Lu thought about it, the more angry she became, but she did not dare to have an attack, so she could keep her luck secretly, and her eyes were fixed on Li Yuanlang and Bai Qing all the time.
Hoping to see something from their speech and behavior.
As a result, she was disappointed. Li Yuanlang and Bai Qing exchanged a few words with each other but no longer exchanged words. They only watched the ceremony progress on the stage.
Soon, the wedding ceremony came to an end with the toasts of the newlyweds.
Facing the table full of delicacies, Li Yuanlang was bored.
Bai Qing left first, surrounded by everyone.
Not long after, Li Yuanlang found an opportunity and quietly withdrew.
In the parking lot, I got on the red flag car that Bai Qing was waiting for, and drove slowly out of the State Guesthouse.
This is a stretch sedan, and the inside is much more luxurious than the car that succeeded Yuen Long.
And there is a separation between the back seat and the cab. Just press the button and slowly raise the partition, and the back seat will form a sealed space.
In this way, it is very convenient to talk and talk.
Bai Qing said straightforwardly: "The man who called my father and mentioned the matter of Gu Chuang, for some reason, his tone became looser."
This is not surprising. Chen Zifeng must have played a role. It seems that Ah Cai's trip to Huadu was fruitful.
When Li Yuanlang stated the reason, Bai Qing nodded slightly, "He can listen to Mr. Chen's words, so my dad doesn't have to go through all the trouble."
After a pause, Bai Qing couldn't help asking: "Yuen Long, are you willing to be used by the Gu family like this? They use you as a fire extinguisher. When you use it, you put out the fire. When you don't use it, you put it in the corner without even looking at it."
Li Yuanlang sighed and said: "The Gu family is selfish. They spend a lot of time thinking about themselves and hurting others. I know where I stand in their minds."
"Where is it?" Bai Qing asked curiously.
Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly, "There is no place."
"Why are you still helping them?"
"Sister Bai, to be honest with you, helping them is also helping myself. When my wife and I have children, it will inevitably be related to the Gu family. Just this time, something happened to the Gu family and my father-in-law was implicated.
Extended from him, I will also have an impact."
"Actually, my ambitions are not big. I don't think about how to climb up. I just think about doing more things for the people within my responsibilities."
"I never sing high-key and package myself as a noble person. This is my true thought. I was born in an ordinary family. I understand the sufferings of the people at the bottom and understand their demands. I can gain from their satisfaction.
enjoy."
"I understand you and believe you." Bai Qing said eloquently: "From the day I met you, I have been paying attention to you. You are one of the few good cadres with conscience. I have contacted many officials, and they talk a lot.
He is high-sounding and makes ridiculous claims, but behind his back he actually does dirty things."
"The reason why I support you, help you, and respond to your requests is because you are very much like my father when he was young. He was focused on work at that time and rarely cared about my life and my mother's life. My mother was suffering from health problems.
I got the disease, kept putting it off, missed the best time for treatment, and died very early."
"So, I hate my father. It was his indifference that caused my mother to leave me at such a young age."
At this point, Bai Qing's eyes turned red, and Li Yuanlang quickly pulled out the tissue and handed it over.
Wiping the corners of her eyes, Bai Qing said sadly: "Yuen Long, I hope the human tragedy that happened in our family can arouse your vigilance. When dealing with the family, you must have a good sense of proportion. You cannot take care of everyone and abandon the small family at the same time.
"
Li Yuanlang sighed, "You can't have your cake and eat it too, so why don't I want to? But the reality is like this, you have to give up when you get something. In the two years since Shui Tingyue and I have been married, my days by her side are numbered."
"I am not a qualified husband, a good father, and I am not a good son. But I want to be a qualified cadre, a cadre worthy of my conscience. I can only try my best to do my best at home."
Bai Qing nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, if you want to be the ideal cadre in your mind, you need the support of your family and a good wife. To be honest, Shui Tingyue is not an ideal candidate. Why?
Why? She is the daughter of a high-ranking cadre. Compared with ordinary people, the children of high-ranking cadres have many problems."
"Most of them are selfish. They think more about themselves and less about others. This is related to their living environment and experience. They have had no worries about food and clothing since childhood and lacked parental discipline, so they have developed self-centered habits."
"Of course, I am not completely denying your wife. She is pretty good. She has not become an unruly second or third generation ancestor. She has tried her best to protect you, support you, and maintain the stability of your family. She is not a virtuous wife, but she is also a good wife.
A nice wife.”
"It's just that on your career path, if you want to have higher pursuits, it will definitely involve some energy in dealing with career and family."
Bai Qing did not say the second half of the sentence clearly, and Li Yuanlang knew that her worries were not groundless.
Shui Tingyue is a petty person, and she has a shadow of Gu Hongyan's narrow-minded and selfish personality. However, the general aspects of Shui Qingzhang's awareness also exist in her.
She is such a contradictory body with uncertainties. Just as Bai Qing said, Shui Tingyue is not a virtuous wife, but she is a qualified wife.
Besides, thinking about himself, the unbearable past with Han Yin and Wu Hongli, Li Yuanlang's kindness to Shui Tingyue now is more like a kind of atonement mentality.
Saying goodbye to Bai Qing, Li Yuanlang took a taxi back to Gu's house.
Whether he was waiting for him or happened to bump into him, Li Yuanlang saw Shui Qingzhang in the front yard.
As Weng's son-in-law walked and chatted, Shui Qingzhang asked him: "Did you meet Bai Qing?"
"See you." Li Yuanlang poured beans into a bamboo tube and told him what Bai Qing said, naturally omitting the topic about his wife.
"Go to the study to talk. Ah Cai and Boss Gu are waiting for you."
Sure enough, when Li Yuanlang informed Ah Cai, Gu Zhengchuan and Gu Zhenggang of the situation, Ah Cai laughed and said, "It can be seen that Chen Zifeng has spoken."
This is a good sign. If the two of them reach an agreement, the sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Gu family will be solved.
I believe that it won't be long before the senior management will make a decision that is beneficial to the Gu family.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
When everyone left one after another, only Ah Cai and Gu Zhengchuan were left.
Ah Cai said: "Young Master, this time I was in Huadu and chatted with Mr. Chen for half a night, mainly talking about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Gu Zhengchuan couldn't help but leaned towards Ah Cai, raised his ears and listened carefully.
Ah Cai sighed and said, "It's time to make a choice."
Gu Zhengchuan understood immediately, frowned and fell into thought.
"Young Master, Gu Chuang's incident has taught us a very real lesson." Ah Cai said with deep feeling: "Gu Chuang's incident can be big or small. To say it more seriously, it's you who broke the rules.
Allowing his son to have foreign girlfriends is suspected of leaking secrets. To put it more seriously, Gu Chuang is not an official, but a businessman. How many secrets can he have? At most, he can be criticized and educated, put back and disciplined strictly, and nothing will happen.
"
"The reason for this situation is that no one above spoke for our family. Things were between two sides. Someone added a weight to the balance, tilting the worst outcome."
Gu Zhengchuan thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Bai Qing's father speak for us?"
Ah Cai shook his head slightly, "You didn't see that it was a trade-off for your father's sake. If you really want to protect the Gu family, Gu Chuang should not have been taken away!"
"When the master is here, there is no need to think about it. After all, his status as an old man is there. Anyone who wants to influence the Gu family or the threshing family has to ask whether the master will agree."
"Today is different from the past. The master has passed away. Especially if you are in such an important position. If you want to go far in the future, you must make a choice. We have gone through all the troubles to successfully avoid the risk this time. If it happens next time, it will happen again."
Lucky?"
Gu Zhengchuan was silent. This was a multiple-choice question and a difficult gamble.
No one knows what the future will bring.
If you make the right choice, you will be successful, but if you make the wrong choice, you will be doomed.
