Li Yuanlang's worries are not unreasonable.

Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, even during dinner, Lian Mingyu looked absent-minded and preoccupied.

After eating for less than half an hour, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and stood up to leave the table.

Li Yuanlang and Zou Shengxuan quickly accompanied him to the room upstairs to rest.

"Comrade Yuen Long, Mayor Zou, please come back."

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Lian Mingyu ordered the two of them to be kicked out.

Not far away, he waved again and asked Li Yuanlang to come over.

Going aside, Lian Mingyu whispered, "I have to wait for the call. Cancel the thing we discussed tonight."

Li Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat and he nodded mechanically.

Watching Lian Mingyu, accompanied by his secretary Ma Min, take the elevator to the third floor, he felt mixed emotions in his heart and his face looked gloomy.

What was agreed upon was that Lian Mingyu took time out to meet with Huang Zhongli, Liu Yongqiang, Mi Weibang, Lianyun and Han Duan in the evening.

These five people are the most like-minded core members Li Yuanlang currently has.

As soon as they heard about Governor Lian's interview, everyone was gearing up and their emotions were high.

I am just waiting for the meeting in the evening to express my inner thoughts and words to the young governor.

However, Lian Mingyu's sudden cancellation is not only a matter of face, but also a deep blow to everyone's established confidence.

This will cause great changes in Li Yuanlang's work progress.

what to do?

With today's identity and status, the relationship between them is no longer the same as it once was.

Once interests are involved, things will change if they don't change.

Especially for superiors and subordinates, it is especially obvious at this moment.

You can't force Lian Mingyu to summon him. It's not in line with reality, and it's even more suicidal.

Li Yuanlang was depressed and didn't know how to convey it to others.

Of course Zou Shengxuan didn't know, and asked Li Yuanlang worriedly, "Secretary Li, does Governor Lian have any thoughts about us? I think he is not in a high mood. Do you want us to have a meeting to study it?"

Li Yuanlang said in a deep voice: "What are you studying! Studying the governor?"

"Of course not." Zou Shengxuan hurriedly changed his words, "I want to straighten things out again and check myself to see what aspects have caused the governor's displeasure."

"Don't study anything, just implement it according to the agenda we set at the meeting."

Watching Li Yuanlang walk away, an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Zou Shengxuan's mouth...

"I saw the lights were on in your office, so I came over." Huang Zhongli arrived uninvited. He seemed casual, but in fact his mood was ups and downs.

After letting Huang Zhongli sit on the sofa, Li Yuanlang sighed and said, "Governor Lian has to make a phone call, so tonight's meeting will be postponed. You are here just in time, so I don't have to call you to tell you."

Huang Zhongli smiled bitterly and said: "Secretary Li, anyone could have predicted this result. Gu Xiu'an is great. Keeping Comrade Jinfeng's office as it is, not even a grain of sand is the same. It takes a lot of effort, but it also shows loyalty."

"In view of the special relationship between Governor Lian and Comrade Jinfeng, Secretary Yongqiang and I just had a phone call to exchange opinions. We all agreed that I am afraid this matter will add variables."

"According to Secretary Yongqiang, the Yuehua Group has stopped all smuggling-related businesses, and the Yuehua cargo yard has also been closed. I feel that Gu Xiuan is fully prepared to cut off all smuggling activities, and is highly suspected of going ashore to launder his name.

.”

Li Yuanlang frowned slightly and analyzed: "It seems that Gu Xiuan's think tank has already prepared a response strategy, hiding it from everyone, secretly planning Comrade Jinfeng's office, and showing this trump card at the critical moment. I have to say

, his move caught us off guard."

"However, I don't think this incident alone will shake Comrade Jinfeng's determination. It is the consensus reached by Comrade Jinfeng and other comrades to destroy the Yuehua Group and eradicate the forces behind it."

"Gu Xiuan can change everything by giving his office an old look. I don't believe it will change anything."

Although he said this, Li Yuanlang still felt a hint of worry from Huang Zhongli's expression.

Tonight, he did not go home, but stayed in the municipal party committee guest house so that he could keep track of what was going on with Lian Mingyu at any time.

It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the municipal party committee building to the guest house.

Li Yuanlang sent the couple away from the building and walked alone among the trees, feeling the climate of Ruozhou on a winter night and smelling the smell of the salty sea breeze in the air.

Feeling lost and melancholy.

Unknowingly, I walked to a row of two-story buildings in the backyard of the guest house.

There was a sound coming from the lighted room on the first floor.

The sound is not loud, so you can hear it clearly only if you listen carefully.

Li Yuanlang stopped and listened attentively. It was the sound of the guzheng playing in the mountains and flowing water.

The familiar zither sound and beautiful melody seemed to transport him to a quiet mountain stream and a clear gurgling stream.

When you are in it, nature is green, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, colorful butterflies flying, and you feel relaxed and happy.

It had been a long time since I heard such a pleasant voice, and it seemed that all the gloom in Li Yuanlang's heart had been swept away.

He walked a few steps and stood motionless at the door, with his hands behind his back and his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the beautiful melody.

Since Zheng Haixin left without saying goodbye, no one has played the guzheng for him anymore.

Moreover, the guzheng playing method is quite similar to that of Zheng Haixin, and it seems to have come from her hands.

Li Yuanlang was a little confused. Could it be Zheng Haixin in the room?

Driven by curiosity, he stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door and ask.

However, the fingers suddenly stopped.

It's basically impossible. If it was really Zheng Haixin, why did she deliberately avoid him at the airport?

As soon as he lost his mind, Li Yuanlang immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking what happened and was about to turn around and leave.

Just at this moment, the music in the room stopped, and the door opened, revealing the face of a beautiful woman.

Dressed in white clothes and trousers, Li Yuanlang instantly recalled the scene when he first met Zheng Haixin in his mind.

"Hai..." couldn't help blurting out, but immediately controlled it, "Comrade Mu Qingxue, it's you!"

"Secretary Li, why are you here?"

Li Yuanlang hurriedly said: "I came here when I heard the sound of the guzheng."

"Yes, I'm sorry." Mu Qingxue apologized in a panic, "Secretary Li, I must have disturbed you. Please forgive me. I, I was wrong. I will never play again."

"It's okay. The sound of the guzheng is very small. I need to listen carefully to hear it." Li Yuanlang pointed to the guest house building not far away. "The sound insulation in the building is very good and will not affect other people. However, the sound is controlled within the range just now.

It can’t be bigger.”

"I, I won't play anymore, never again."

"It doesn't matter. If you have such hobbies, how can you forcefully deprive them of them?"

Li Yuanlang was about to leave when he suddenly heard a "bang" and Mu Qingxue screamed: "Yeah!"

"What's going on?"

Turning around to look, Mu Qingxue turned the door handle hard and said angrily: "I accidentally blew the door shut in the wind."

"You didn't bring the key?"

"I was in a hurry to come out and didn't have time to take it with me."

What should I do?

Li Yuanlang asked: "Who still has the key?"

"My roommate, her name is Zhao Ying, she is on duty tonight." Mu Qingxue reluctantly gave up on opening the door and asked sheepishly, "Secretary Li, can you give her a call?"

Li Yuanlang had a personal mobile phone, but he didn't want to use it, so he said: "I told Wan Rongfang to send someone to deliver the key..."

"No." Mu Qingxue hurriedly raised her hand to stop her, and involuntarily pressed her hand on Li Yuanlang's right hand holding the phone.

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly pulled back and begged in a low voice, "Don't alarm Mr. Wan, I'm worried..."

Li Yuanlang understood Mu Qingxue's difficulties. Wan Rongfang was the owner of the guest house, and her subordinates would be unhappy if she was disturbed by this matter.

It is unrealistic for Mu Qingxue to go to Zhao Yingna.

Although the dormitory is not far from the guest house, she was wearing pajamas and pajamas, which was really indecent.

What's more, Lian Mingyu and other provincial leaders still live in the guest house. The security level has been strengthened and they are disheveled. Even the guest house employees are not allowed to enter.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanlang contacted Liu Jun, the waiter who took care of him, and asked him to deliver the key.

After finishing all this, Li Yuanlang planned to leave.

But he saw Mu Qingxue folding her arms, shivering all over, and sneezing nonstop.

Ruozhou has no frost all year round and the climate is warm.

But now it is December, entering winter, and the nights are still very cold.

Mu Qingxue came out in a hurry and wore little clothing, so she would inevitably suffer from the cold.
