Shen Tong was lying on the big bed, holding his head in his hands and looking at the ceiling, thinking about Xu Xia's smile and frown, traveling through time and space again to his college days. Shen Tong asked himself more than once, who in the end holds the most affection in Xu Xia or Lan Yue's heart? How important is it? Whenever he is alone with Lan Yue, he will pay full attention to Lan Yue and his heart will pounce on Lan Yue, loving her and loving her. But when he is alone, he will always think of everything he has with Xu Xia from time to time. Such kindness, such nostalgia.
He knew that this was not good. After all, Xu Xia had become someone else's wife. What was the use of thinking about it? It was impossible to go back in time and hold hands again. But he could never forget the beautiful memories in his heart. Why on earth, why ?
In fact, Shen Tong himself didn't know that when he was drunk at Yanni's house, he mistook Yanni for Xu Xia and couldn't control himself. This shows how much he cares about Xu Xia.
"Xu Xia, how are you doing?" Shen Tong suddenly couldn't help but said this. He quickly realized his slip of the tongue. Fortunately, there was no one else in the room.
Shen Tong was thinking wildly here, while Wu Jiangkai was worried in his room. Thinking that Qiu Zhiguo was gone, his backer collapsed instantly, and Li Changkui's future was uncertain. Thinking about the future, Wu Jiangkai felt his head explode. Facing the bloody reality, Wu Jiangkai was unable to resist. , but it triggered a series of thoughts.
From the day he became Qiu Zhiguo's secretary, he had no choice but to choose one path or another. If Qiu Zhiguo's official career went smoothly and he was successful all the way, he would prosper like a fish in water. If Qiu Zhiguo suddenly went downhill, then You can imagine your own ending. This outcome that you least want to see is now in front of you. There is no other way to make a one-way choice of both prosperity and loss.
As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths, and it should be used with caution in officialdom. From Qiu Zhiguo's point of view, the most intolerable thing is to watch someone who has been single-handedly follow someone else's path. At a small scale, this is distrust, but at a larger scale, it is distrust. He calls this a backlash. If he finds out, he will viciously kick you into the cold palace before your wings are full, suppress you to death, and will never allow a "traitor" to come out of his family.
From Wu Jiangkai's perspective, he has faced directly the unprecedented embarrassment brought about by this single and vertical model, and has obviously reached a dead end. If he wants to achieve greater development in the future, he must seek other sources of support. It is reality, the reality of necessity, the reality of imminence.
Although Qiu Zhiguo had prepared a way out for himself, Jiang Wei, the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Construction, could not achieve higher levels than lower levels. Although he had a certain circle of activities in the province, he did not have a strong voice. Moreover, he was about to retire and had no room for advancement. This backing seems unreliable.
Let’s talk about Pang Huaiyuan, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Office. Although Qiu Zhiguo had asked him to do so, he didn’t take him seriously at all. His indifferent appearance in the hospital showed that he didn’t take Qiu Zhiguo’s words seriously, and even I felt a little disgusted with him. What Wu Jiangkai couldn't figure out was that he had never offended this Bodhisattva, so why was he treated so differently?
We can't wait any longer. The county will carry out a series of projects this year. Without the support of the city and the province, everything will be in vain. It would be okay if Li Changkui was here, but if there is a mayor who stands opposite to him, it will be a hard life. The end was coming. Now no matter what, Pang Huaiyuan must be involved at all costs. Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Weisheng, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Construction.
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Jiang Weisheng's married second daughter returned home. She was holding her grandson and laughing happily. When she heard the phone ringing, she straightened up, loosened her hands, and almost dropped the child to the ground. The wife on the side looked at it.
Seeing Jiang Weisheng's abnormal behavior, he quickly came over and picked up his grandson, complaining: "A phone call scared you to this point. If your in-laws committed a crime, what does it have to do with you? Don't throw my grandson."
The children of Jiang Weisheng and Qiu Zhiguo became close friends in the Qin and Jin Dynasties, which made the relationship between the two families even closer. But now Qiu Zhiguo is in trouble, and Jiang Weisheng wants to help but can't do anything. He can only stay at home and wait for the latest news. Jiang Weisheng knows about Qiu Zhiguo's hospitalization for pretending to be ill.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, the two families did not go back and forth during the New Year.
Jiang Weisheng ignored his wife, walked to the coffee table and picked up his mobile phone. When he saw that it was Wu Jiangkai's call, he didn't want to answer it. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up.
When Wu Jiangkai heard the other party answer the phone, as if Jiang Weisheng was right in front of him, he immediately stood up, raised his butt, and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, this is Jiang Kai, how are you doing during the New Year?"
Wu Jiangkai sent souvenirs to Jiang Weisheng years ago and prepared a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, so he spoke with confidence. Jiang Weisheng walked to the kitchen with his hands on his hips, ignored Wu Jiangkai's polite words, and said straightforwardly: "
Oh, it’s Jiang Kai, is something wrong?”
Wu Jiangkai had originally prepared a set of words, but he did not expect Jiang Weisheng to be so calm and simple. He stopped being polite and said: "Director Jiang, I am in Longzhong now. I would like to meet you for a meal tonight. Do you have time?"
?”
Jiang Weisheng is the last person who wants to show his face right now. He did not give Wu Jiangkai any buffer space and said coldly: "That's right, I'm not in Longzhong now, maybe next time."
The next time, it was the same excuse. Wu Jiangkai was rejected again. He couldn't bear it, but what could he do? He could only reply bitterly: "Since it is inconvenient for Director Jiang, let's do it next time. You are busy.
"
Jiang Weisheng was afraid that Wu Jiangkai would talk about other things, so he immediately hung up the phone, turned off the phone, and said seriously to the family in the living room: "No matter who calls today, they will say that I am not at home." After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left.
study.
Being rejected twice in a row made Wu Jiangkai feel the harshness of the world. Qiu Zhiguo's official career has not been finalized so far. All his former colleagues have defected. Wu Jiangkai was so angry that he grabbed his cell phone and threw it to the ground. He fell to the ground in despair.
Looking at the ceiling, my mood was so bad that it fell to the extreme.
Two rooms, two people, doing the same thing, but troubled by different thoughts.
Shen Tong was already hungry, but Wu Jiangkai didn't say anything. He could only hold back his stomach. After about half an hour, he couldn't hold it anymore. He walked to the door of Wu Jiangkai's room, knocked gently, and pinched
He asked in a low voice: "Secretary Wu, I am Shen Tong, can I come in?"
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside. Shen Tong planned to knock on the door again, but then the door opened. After Shen Tong walked in quietly, he saw Wu Jiangkai's haggard expression and couldn't bear to disturb him, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Secretary Wu
, let me go to the restaurant to prepare some food for you?" Suddenly, Shen Tong saw the mobile phone thrown on the ground, and the atmosphere in the room instantly solidified.
