Rise to the top -

The Lantern Festival, the first full-moon night after the Spring Festival, is a great festival for Chinese people to dance dragons and lions, walk on stilts, perform yangko and guess lantern riddles, but the conference room on the tenth floor of the Yupengshan Municipal Party Committee Office Building is brightly lit. From 3 p.m.

The meeting of the Standing Committee, which started at one o'clock, is still going on. The major members of the Standing Committee, who have not even eaten dinner, are unprecedentedly eating on an empty stomach.

As a minor player who was not qualified to participate in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Dou Yifan was assigned by Shi Dezheng around four o'clock to give a report that was not particularly exciting but could leave a deep impression on the members of the Standing Committee. It was this

The report on the Hairao Development Zone Science and Technology Park and the settlement of Omas Company in Hairao triggered an incalculable continuation of the meeting. Dou Yifan, who was unwilling to leave without receiving instructions, stood in front of the glass window in the corridor on the tenth floor and looked out the window slowly.

Dou Yifan suddenly took a puff of his cigarette under the charming street lights. Only then did he realize that the cigarette between his fingers was almost burned out. He turned around and walked to the trash can next to him. Dou Yifan smashed the cigarette butt in his hand into pieces in the trash can.

Fine sand on top.

"The meeting won't end so soon, why don't you come in and sit for a while?" The gentle voice behind him came from a familiar woman. Dou Yifan's familiarity with her was not just as simple as her voice, but he was familiar with her every breath and every breath.

He was so familiar with a chant, but he began to question the relationship between the two.

"No, thank you!" Dou Yifan turned around silently and glanced at Du Jiaqi, who was still wearing a suit, overalls and trousers, but her beauty could not be concealed. After a while, she refused indifferently.

"Yifan, do we have to be so tense between us? You know I have no choice but to leave as soon as possible..." Du Jiaqi looked hurt, but she could only lower her voice to defend herself.

"Okay, Secretary-General Du, this is the municipal party committee building, not a place for you and me to stir up emotions. What is happening inside is the enlarged meeting of the municipal party committee standing committee. You should pay attention to your words and deeds!" Dou Yifan raised his head proudly,

He didn't want to pay attention to Du Jiaqi's explanation at all. He lit a cigarette again, slowly walked to the window where he was standing, looked at the bright lights outside the window and smoked a dull cigarette.

A Sheng song spring is like the sea, thousands of lights at night are like day. I don’t know who wrote this poem describing the Lantern Festival, or which dynasty it came from, or maybe Dou Yifan just saw it in a certain book

I have passed it, but I have forgotten its author. Dou Yifan suddenly remembered these two lines of poetry, but felt that they fit the scene very well with the bright lights outside the window. It is said that in ancient times, when people worshiped the gods, they would set up a heaven and earth hall. It is said that this heaven and earth hall is for

To worship Taigong Jiang, place incense candles and offerings in front of the shrine, and then light a lantern. It is said that the lantern represents Taigong Jiang. In the list of gods, all others were canonized, except Jiang Taigong who forgot to canonize himself.

There were no seats among the gods, so they had to join the ranks with God. On this brightly lit night, Dou Yifan stood alone in the corridor on the tenth floor, waiting for the gods in the conference room to make a decision, or

Waiting for the outcome of the heated argument.

Lamps have been given many meanings in ancient times, driving away darkness, defeating evil and praying for light. On the southeast coast of the Celestial Dynasty, in a place where Hokkien is spoken, the pronunciations of 'Deng' and 'Ding' are the same. There,

Every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household will go to temples and ancestral halls to light up lanterns, which means adding children, getting rich, and gaining fame. Wherever there is a family, there are lights. At this time, Dou Yifan, who was standing by the window on the tenth floor, had no idea what the light was guiding him forward.

Where. Deep in thought, he didn't realize that time had not stopped passing because of his hesitation until the cigarette butt burned his finger.

There were gentle footsteps behind him, and Dou Yifan knew who was approaching him without looking back. He turned back silently, frowning silently at Du Jiaqi, who walked to him again, and waited indifferently for her to speak.

"He (Zheng Linxi) firmly opposed it because the enclosure area was too large, especially when it involved a large beach. He insisted on re-planning the site of Omas, and the main reason was that it would affect the aquaculture industry on the seaside." Du Jieqi lowered her voice and said calmly.

He mysteriously said something that made Dou Yifan frown even more.

"How do you know?" Dou Yifan's unexpected question was answered immediately when he saw Du Jiaqi raising the teapot in her hand. Du Jiaqi is not a member of the Standing Committee, but she can find opportunities to enter the conference room, even if it is to serve tea.

Water is also acceptable.

"Then what?" Dou Yifan really didn't want to inquire about these details from Du Jieqi's mouth, but his proud self-esteem was no match for the anxiety and curiosity in his heart.

"He insisted that the Hairao government had already made a commitment to Omas at that time, and mentioned the loan issue by the end of last year." Du Jiaqi spoke in a low voice again, but the 'him' in her mouth changed from Zheng Linxi just now to Shi Dezheng

There is no need to explain more or name him. She believes that Dou Yifan can distinguish the two of them clearly.

"Oh, damn, I have become cannon fodder again for no reason." After hearing these two words from Du Jiaqi, Dou Yifan gritted his teeth and squeezed out such unwilling words from his teeth.

"We are frozen, and no one is giving in." Du Jieqi understood Dou Yifan's mood and the weight of his words. But she couldn't think of how she could comfort him, or go in and take the opportunity to find out some information about her.

The only thing that can be done!

"What did he say?" Dou Yifan felt a little cold, but he still asked reluctantly. Of course, what Dou Yifan was referring to was Guo Mingji, the boss of the municipal party committee office building.

"He... you know, he rarely speaks. Now it seems that even if it is a show of hands, there is no way to pass." Du Jiaqi raised her eyes and glanced at Dou Yifan, who had a gloomy face, and explained in a low voice with understanding.

One sentence.

"Fuck!" Dou Yifan was in a irritated mood and couldn't help but open his mouth to explode. After listening to Du Jiaqi's words, he couldn't help but touch his chin and pace back and forth with a sullen face.

"Yifan, what can I do for you?" Seeing Dou Yifan anxiously, Du Jiaqi asked in a low voice with some distress.

"What can you do for me? Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you!" Du Jieqi's words made Dou Yifan immediately stop. Realizing that his emotions were leaking too much, he immediately put on an indifferent and distant face.

The smiling face kept Du Jiaqi away.

"Yifan, can you please stop being like this... I'll wait for you at home, no matter how late." Just when Du Jieqi stepped forward to say something to Dou Yifan, there was a sound of footsteps from the elevator entrance, and she
