Chapter 010 Fatal Temptation
Before coming to Zhou's house, Lu Qing had an in-depth conversation with her daughter, and Lu Yanlin burst into tears. The reason was that Lu Qing was annoyed by Lu Yanlin's constant requests for him to arrange work for Zhou Nan.
Lu Qing was vaguely aware of her daughter Lu Yanlin's secret love for Zhou Nan, but she did not expect that her daughter would be so persistent and determined, and her affection would be so deep. She even did not hesitate to have a showdown with her father, firmly stating that she would rather have someone else than Zhou Nan in her life.
Never marry for life.
Lu Qing was surprised. Although Zhou Nan was pretty good, the two families were not from the same family. Lu Qing had no idea of marrying the Zhou family now. In his opinion, the daughter of a core leader of the municipal party committee should marry into that kind of family.
Only those from a fairly powerful family are considered to be in line with one's status.
However, although he was snobbish and greedy, he still doted on and cherished his only daughter. Seeing that his daughter was looking for life and death, he thought that Lu Yanlin and Zhou Nan had secretly come together... Considering that his daughter looked weak but was actually extremely strong.
Personality, thinking of Zhou Nan's reputation as a top student at Jinghua University, and thinking of Zhou Nan's steady and down-to-earth temperament, Lu Qing slowly changed her mind and finally agreed to her daughter's tearful request.
…
…
Lu Yanlin stood with Yue Ping affectionately, like a mother and daughter. In fact, Yue Ping really liked Lu Yanlin very much. She had watched this child grow up, and he matched her appearance and character.
If Zhou Nan likes her taste, she has no objection to Lu Yanlin becoming his daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, Yue Ping also knew in her heart that given Lu Qing's status and rank, he would basically not agree to marry the Zhou family.
And Zhou Nan's shocking words at noon made Yue Ping feel a little "ripples" in her heart. Facing Lu Yanlin again, of course there were some inexplicable changes in her demeanor. Compared with before, Lu Yanlin was very sensitive.
, immediately felt Yue Ping's heartfelt alienation, and felt sad. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she quietly turned away, secretly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
However, Lu Yanlin had already made up her mind, even if they were stalking her, she would get together with Zhou Nan. She did not believe that Zhou Nan's heart was made of stone. Therefore, Lu Yanlin still forced a smile and continued to talk to Yue Ping with a smile.
.
Zhou Ningyu came out of the study. Although he tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face, he couldn't hide it in the end. Fortunately, Lu Qing didn't pay attention. He just sat on the sofa in the living room of Zhou's house, tilting his head up out of habit.
The leader's legs were crossed and he took the cigarette handed over by Zhou Ningyu. He didn't mind the smoke, so he lit it and took a puff.
"Old Zhou, I asked Gu Changhe of the Economic and Trade Commission for you today, and he said he didn't have a staff. He was just talking nonsense... Come on, I'll take care of this matter. I believe Gu Changhe will still give me this face, just in two days.
, I’ll look for Gu Changhe again. I heard that they happen to have two establishments. If that doesn’t work, let Xiao Nan and Yan Lin go together. They grew up together, and now they work in the same unit, so they can have someone to take care of them sooner or later...
Do you think so, Lao Zhou? Hmm?"
Lu Qing actually took the initiative to care about Zhou Nan's work, which surprised Zhou Ningyu.
But what surprised him even more was what Lu Qing said next.
"Lao Zhou, it's been a few years since you were promoted to the deputy director level, right? Have you ever thought about moving? Huh? It's better to move a living tree than to move it to death! Lao Lin, the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, was recently transferred... Have you ever thought about it?
Any ideas? If you have any ideas, I can talk to Secretary Song about this matter. It shouldn’t be a big problem, haha.”
As soon as Lu Qing said these words, Zhou Nan secretly thought that it was not good. Zhou Ningyu was already a little "sceptical" about Zhou Nan's words. When he was wavering, Lu Qing suddenly sent him a "big cake" - the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office usually concurrently
The deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee holds a director-level position and has real power. How could he not be tempted when faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity? His son's baseless "warning" is nothing compared to such a realistic opportunity.
What?
Lu Qing looked at Zhou Ningyu with a smile and sneered secretly in her heart. She thought to herself, if your son wants to marry my daughter, your level is too low... Anyway, for Yan Lin's sake, I will ask you, the Zhou family, to help
.However, it depends on whether you know the nature or not.
…
…
After sending away the Lu family and his daughter, Zhou Ningyu hid in the study alone, smoking, feeling uneasy and hesitant. At this time, he could no longer think about why Lu Qing uncharacteristically took the initiative to support him, and even sent his son to him.
What he said at noon was all forgotten. What filled his mind at this moment was the official title of "Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office".
Zhou Nan stood at the door and glanced at his father, whose expression changed, and walked into his room silently. After closing the door, he stood there quietly, knowing that the matter had reached this point and there was no room for him to hesitate any longer.
Promotion, for people in the officialdom, is simply a fatal temptation to fly into a flame. Especially for Zhou Ningyu, who has been suppressed and has an unsatisfactory career, being able to be transferred from the Public Security Bureau to the municipal party committee office to become a high-ranking deputy
Secretary-General, this kind of attraction is so strong that it cannot be described in words.
Faced with temptations and opportunities, and faced with the olive branch offered by Lu Qing, Zhou Ningyu basically had little resistance. Zhou Nan knew this very well, and he almost immediately concluded that although his father seemed very troubled now, it would not be long before
He would "turn a corner" and take the initiative to "show favor" to Lu Qing, even giving bribes and gifts, all for the sake of his official position and career advancement.
As for Zhou Nan, he might take a chance or simply ignore it subconsciously.
In fact, Zhou Nan really knows his father too well. At this time, Zhou Ningyu's mind is spinning, self-comforting and self-massage: How can you believe a child's nonsense? At Lu Qing's level,
Even if there are some problems, it won't be a big deal, right?
There are so many complications!!!!! Zhou Nan gritted his teeth. If Zhou Ningyu was tempted and took action, he and the Zhou family would be pushed into an abyss of eternal destruction. Even if he would not be really dragged into the Lu Qing case, he would still be involved.
Destroy the future.
Moreover, there is an even bigger time bomb around Zhou Ningyu - Li Huimin, Secretary of the Haidu Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau. Li Huimin and Lu Qing are like grasshoppers on a rope.
...These two people are very close to Zhou Ningyu, and they can easily be implicated if they are not careful.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Nan immediately made up his mind.
*************************************
When Zhou Nan was about to go out, Yue Ping, who was bending over to wipe the floor, frowned and said, "Nan Nan, it's so late, where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm going for a walk and I'll be back in a while." After saying that, without giving Yue Ping time to ask questions, Zhou Nan pushed the door open and left.
…
…
Early the next morning, Yue Ping had just gotten up to prepare breakfast for her father and son. Suddenly she heard movement in the kitchen, so she walked over and saw that it was Zhou Nan who was busy in the kitchen. He was wearing his own apron, and it seemed that
Frying eggs and cooking porridge.
Yue Ping felt relieved that as her son grew older, he became more sensible and well-behaved.
"Nan Nan, why did you get up so early? Put it down quickly, mom will do it."
"Mom, I couldn't sleep either, so I got up early... Okay, mom, just take a break and try your son's cooking, fried eggs, cucumber salad with sea rice, and a bowl of millet porridge for each person.
,Isn’t this breakfast nutritious and hearty enough?”
Zhou Nan chuckled and suddenly raised his head and said to Yue Ping, "Mom, I want to go back to my grandparents' house today to see them."
Yue Ping was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, you have graduated, you should go back to your hometown to see your grandparents... Okay, your mother will give you money later, you go buy some gifts for your grandparents. By the way.
Also go and see your uncle and aunt."
Zhou Nan nodded in agreement, but his eyes flickered.
While eating, Zhou Nan saw the opportunity and said with a smile, "Mom, please give me your stock account and trading card. Before I leave, I want to go to the stock market and buy the two stocks I like...
Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely make money, I promise!”
Zhou Nan raised his hands as if swearing, really like a child.
Yue Ping smiled, "You kid... okay, I'll give it to you in a minute."
After dinner, Zhou Ningyu went out with a heavy heart. Yue Ping also left home to go to work. She had two classes to attend this morning to make up for the holidays for students who were about to enter their senior year of high school. Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded Zhou Nan that on the way back to her hometown
Pay attention to safety.
Zhou Nan's hometown is in another prefecture-level city in Binhai Province, which is Qing'an City, a neighboring city of Haidu City. The Zhou family lives in a small mountain village in Taishan Town, a suburb of Qing'an City. Zhou Nan's grandparents have two sons and one daughter.
, the eldest daughter Zhou Ningxia, the eldest son Zhou Ningyu, and the second son Zhou Ninghui. Except for Zhou Ningyu who went to college and quit farming, Zhou Nan's aunts and uncles are all farming in their hometown.
Even though Zhou Ningyu was depressed in official circles, he was considered the number one household name in the eight villages surrounding Taishan Town. A deputy director of a prefecture-level city public security bureau, in the eyes of these simple farmers
Here, he is already a very, very big official.
Zhou Nan really went to Taishan Town, Qing'an City. However, before returning to his hometown, he rushed to the stock market, sold all the stocks in Yue Ping's account without hesitation, and then bought each stock at a price of 3.87 yuan.
He bought 50 lots of Haiminyuan (i.e. 5,000 shares) and put all the funds in Yue Ping's account into the position.
After that, he immediately left the stock market, hurried to the long-distance bus station, and got on the bus bound for Qing'an City.
*********************************************
In the morning, the phone in Zhou Ningyu's office suddenly rang. Zhou Ningyu answered the phone with some uneasiness. As soon as he said "hello", he heard a familiar and friendly local accent coming from the other end of the phone, "Brother, I am Ning Hui. My father and I are here."
My mother's health has not been very good recently. She has been receiving infusions for the past two days and she is always talking about your family... I think you and your sister-in-law should come back and stay for two days."
Zhou Ningyu is a well-known filial son. If his parents were not used to life in the city, he would have brought the two old people to live together in Haidu. He was already a little upset, but suddenly he heard that his parents were sick and had a lot of food.
He was surprised and said, "Ning Hui, what's going on? When I went back last month, my parents were fine. Why did they suddenly become ill? What illness?"
"Brother, you'd better come back with your sister-in-law... My parents' illness... although it's not too important, but the two old people are always talking about you. Why don't you come back and stay for two days? My sister-in-law's school is on holiday anyway...
..." Zhou Ninghui's words were somewhat evasive, which made Zhou Ningyu feel even more uneasy.
"Nannan went back today, has he arrived?"
"Here we are, just arrived...I am accompanying his grandpa to get an injection at the village clinic."
