Lu Xiaofan now goes back to Beijing once a month. In addition to reimbursement, reporting work and collecting salary, once the salary is in hand, he sends one-third home as usual, and then takes another one-third for daily expenses, and saves the rest without missing a penny.

He was going to withdraw the money from the Wanda account, but when he was withdrawing the money, the front desk clerk looked at the account and asked him to wait. He waited for a while and Lu Tao came.

Lu Tao was very embarrassed and asked if Lu Xiaofan felt that he was too enthusiastic and harassed him, so he wanted to withdraw the account. If that was the case, he had to apologize, because it was spread that he, the general manager, did not provide adequate service, which led to the customer's account cancellation.

Lu Xiaofan had never embarrassed others in his life, but Lu Tao's series of apologies made him embarrassed, and the withdrawal of the account was also left unresolved.

Since then, Lu Xiaofan basically placed orders for buying and selling stocks by phone. Occasionally, when he came to the trading hall and met Lu Tao, Lu Tao only chatted with him about other things. The two of them got along a bit like friends.

In 1994, stock prices often soared. Sometimes it was common for a stock to rise from a few yuan to hundreds of yuan in just two or three months. The higher the stock price, the crazier the stockholders became. The stock price was like a rocket, soaring up and never looking back.

Lu Xiaofan just traded stocks, visited clients, and cooked every day. Bei Luqing seemed to have completely faded out of his world. If Lu Xiaofan were to interpret it, it would be wrong because the man had never been in his world.

Tianjin's summers were always terribly hot. Lu Xiaofan visited all the clients, then squatted under a big tree on the side of the road and fanned himself with a stack of product manuals.

The call machine on his waist suddenly rang. Since Lu Xiaofan returned the mobile phone to Bei Luqing, he used this digital call machine he bought himself. When he saw the number on it, it turned out to be the section chief's.

Lu Xiaofan hurriedly ran to a public phone booth and called back. As soon as the section chief answered the phone, he said, "Lu Xiaofan, your family came to the company to look for you. Is it your wife? She's crying!" 

"Bei Luxin..." Lu Xiaofan was a little confused for a moment. He couldn't associate the delicate, arrogant, thorny-like Bei Luxin with the four words "crying". 

"Brother Xiaofan! Where are you? I'm Xiaofeng!" The section chief's phone seemed to be snatched away by someone, and then a crying voice came over clearly. 

"Xiaofeng..." Lu Xiaofan was shocked. Xiaofeng, who grew up with him and his brothers in the Lu family, was his ideal wife whom he had dreamed of marrying. Lu Xiaofan was really shocked. 

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lu Xiaofan said, "Can you take a ride to Tianjin? We'll talk about it when you get to Tianjin!" 

Xiaofeng suddenly found this place and burst into tears. Lu Xiaofan instinctively felt that it must be no small matter, and he intuitively knew that he must not let Xiaofeng tell the reason on the phone. 

After Lu Xiaofan hung up the phone, he went to Tianjin Station to pick up Xiaofeng. He waited for four or five trains from Beijing before he saw Xiaofeng at the exit. She looked haggard, swollen, and her once pretty face was completely gone. 

As soon as Xiaofeng saw Lu Xiaofan, she fell on his shoulder and burst into tears, sobbing and calling him Brother Xiaofan. 

Lu Xiaofan had to work very hard to hold Xiaofeng's body from sliding down, and she collapsed on the ground. After he got Xiaofeng to the guesthouse, he gritted his teeth and listened to Xiaofeng cursing the Lu family while talking nonsense. 

Although her words were confusing, Lu Xiaofan still understood them. Lu Xiaoping made Xiaofeng pregnant, but disappeared without a trace. Xiaofeng went to Lu's house to ask for Lu Xiaoping's address, but Lu's mother refused to tell her. 

Xiaofeng was forced into a corner, so she slipped into Lu's house when no one was there, pried open the cabinet, and found nothing else but Lu Xiaofan's remittance slip. Since Lu Xiaofan moved out of the Bei family, the remittance slip had always been left with the address of his unit, so Xiaofeng had been looking for his unit. 

When Lu Xiaofan heard about this, he felt his scalp tingling. He bought some food for Xiaofeng. Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy either eat delicious food or can't eat anything. Lu Xiaofan felt that Xiaofeng was obviously not the latter. 

After he arranged for Xiaofeng, he quickly called Lu Xiaoping and told him that Xiaofeng had found Tianjin. 

Who knew that Lu Xiaoping didn't call back at night, not to mention Xiaofeng, even Lu Xiaofan was anxious. At very late, Lu Xiaofan finally received a call back. He looked at Xiaofeng, a pregnant woman who had been tossing and turning for several days, and seemed to be asleep. 

Lu Xiaofan went downstairs quietly and called Lu Xiaoping at the owner of the guesthouse. 

Lu Xiaoping asked, "Is Xiaofeng with you?" 

"No!" Lu Xiaofan replied. 

Lu Xiaoping seemed to be relieved and whispered, "Xiaofan, can I ask you for a favor!" 

Lu Xiaofan immediately said, "Brother, I can't do anything about this." 

Lu Xiaoping was anxious and said, "Xiaofan, I'm about to get engaged to Weiwei, and everyone in the bureau knows about this. I'm also at a critical juncture for my promotion. If she shows up, won't it be the end of me?" 

"Then, how could you get Xiaofeng pregnant?!" 

Lu Xiaoping sighed repeatedly, and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I, I went home and drank too much with my friends. You also know that Xiaofeng has admired me since she was a child. When she pestered me, I was not sober for a moment and made a mistake. How could I possibly like Xiaofeng? She didn't even graduate from junior high school, and I'm a college student. She farms at home, and I'm going to be a state official. This is simply impossible... How can this woman have no self-awareness at all? If she had an abortion at home, she would have told me, and I would have sent her money..." 

Lu Xiaoping kept chattering all the way, and Lu Xiaofan suddenly yelled, "Yes, she She is a nobody and not worthy of you. But since you have never wanted to spend your whole life with someone else, why do you want to give others dreams! Why do you want others to think that you will be with her for the rest of your life, you are a bastard! " 

Lu Xiaoping has never been yelled at so loudly by Lu Xiaofan, but now he has something to ask of his brother and can't care about it, so he can only say: "Yes, yes, I am a bastard, Xiaofan, you must save your brother this time no matter what, you see I am about to get married, if Weiwei knew that this country woman came to my house, she would eat me up. You quickly persuade Xiaofeng to have an abortion, I will send you the money for the abortion, ah, I will give her some compensation!" 

"Who cares about your compensation?!" Lu Xiaofan's ears suddenly exploded with a crisp sound, he was startled, and the microphone in his hand fell to the ground. 

Xiaofeng was unfamiliar with the place, in fact, she was afraid that Lu Xiaofan would secretly abandon her. She woke up quickly when she saw Lu Xiaofan go out in a daze. She followed Lu Xiaofan and heard who he called, and she guessed that it was Lu Xiaoping. 

At first, she didn't dare to get too close, but when she saw Lu Xiaofan's voice getting louder and louder, she finally got closer and heard Lu Xiaoping's plan for her. 

She grabbed the phone and said, "You bastard, son of a bitch, I'm going to fight you, I won't let you go!" Then she fiercely lifted the phone and smashed it to the ground. 

Lu Xiaoping was naturally unharmed on the other end of the phone, but Xiaofeng threw the phone with all her might, which made his ears buzz. 

Lu Xiaoping finally realized that this woman was the same person as the woman at home who was always submissive in front of him, but they were two different creatures, and disappeared without a trace. 

Lu Xiaofan called him on his phone for three consecutive days, but he didn't reply. When she called his workplace, she didn't know what Lu Xiaoping said. His colleagues stammered that he had gone to the countryside.

Xiaofeng seemed to have calmed down suddenly. One day, Xiaofan brought her food and found that she was not in the room. Fearing that she had committed suicide, he ran downstairs to ask the front desk if they had seen Xiaofeng go out.

The front desk replied that the woman asked how to get to the municipal party committee and then went out. Lu Xiaofan went out quickly, got a taxi and ran to the gate of the Municipal Party Committee. When he arrived at the gate, he saw Xiaofeng wandering back and forth. He jumped out of the car and grabbed Xiaofeng, saying, "Xiaofeng, stop making trouble, okay?"

Xiaofeng looked up at Lu Xiaofan and said, "Brother Xiaofan, do you think Brother Xiaoping is sincere to me?"

Lu Xiaofan was not a person who would tell lies, so he was not very good at comforting people. He could only murmur. Xiaofeng was calm and said, "Then do you think that the girl in the city has broken up with Brother Xiaoping? Can he still be with me?"

Lu Xiaofan knew that Lu Xiaoping's eyes were always looking high. Even if he flew high and touched the sky, he would not even glance at the ground. He sighed and whispered, "Xiaofeng, can you go home with Brother Xiaofan!"

Xiaofeng obediently followed Lu Xiaofan back to the guesthouse. Lu Xiaofan was afraid that he would be depressed, so he bought some fruits and Lego and other things. He stayed with Xiaofeng for most of the night and said a lot of words to persuade her to be more positive before he went back.

Lu Xiaofan actually didn't sleep well most of the night. He was still worried in the morning, so he went to Xiaofeng's guesthouse. When he pushed the door, Xiaofeng was not in the room.

This time, even the front desk didn't find out when Xiaofeng went out. Lu Xiaofan was so anxious that his eyes were blazing. He ran back and forth several times along all the roads and alleys near the guesthouse, and even along the Haihe River.

He searched for a whole day, but couldn't find Xiaofeng. He was so anxious that two blisters appeared in his mouth. When the wind from the Haihe River blew, he suddenly had an idea in his mind: Will Xiaofeng find Lu Xiaoping's unit?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofan felt that the sweat on his back was about to flow down. He took a taxi and went straight to Lu Xiaoping's Textile Bureau. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a commotion at the door.

As soon as he went in, he knew that the mayor came to the bureau to listen to the report today, and happened to encounter Xiaofeng making a scene in the Textile Bureau.

Xiaofeng didn't know why, but she refused to listen to anything. She insisted on sitting at the door and making a scene. She told the story about her and Lu Xiaoping over and over again, including when they met, what Lu Xiaoping promised her, and how he tricked her into getting her. She was like telling a story. She didn't stop until the mayor showed up and talked to her.

People inside said that Xiaofeng made it clear that she didn't come here for money, nor did she want to marry this man. She just wanted to seek justice.

She wanted this man to understand that shameless people will be punished by heaven. She also gave other girls a piece of advice: marry a pig or a dog, but don't marry such a heartless man.

The mayor also asked Lu Xiaoping separately, but he didn't know what he said. He only heard that Lu Xiaoping, who has been very successful recently, looked as pale as a ghost when he came out, and he even looked like he couldn't walk well.

After the mayor came out, he talked to the director separately for a few words. He didn't know what he said, but the director looked very bad when he came out.

Xiaofeng's noise at the door attracted not only people from the Textile Bureau, but also leaders of the textile factory who came to the meeting, people from the next door government compound, passers-by, and pedestrians.

This big show of Chen Shimei made these people very excited, so they didn't disperse until Lu Xiaofan arrived, and they were quite happy to recount what happened just now.

When Lu Xiaofan heard half of it, he felt his head buzzing and exploded. Lu Xiaoping was finished. There was only this sentence in his mind.

Indeed, Lu Xiaoping was still a contract-based external talent in the bureau, so there was no question of dismissal from public office. After a week, the work contract was terminated in advance.

Originally, this kind of thing would not be handled so quickly. First, the mayor was involved in Lu Xiaoping's matter, and second, his matter was equivalent to a slap in the face of Deputy Director Ding.

For Lu Xiaoping, who almost became a virtuous daughter-in-law, Deputy Director Ding wanted to trample him to death. Not only did he terminate Lu Xiaoping's contract in advance, but he also made a note in his personnel file.

This completely ended Lu Xiaoping's dream of becoming a civil servant and an official.

Xiaofeng called Lu Xiaofan to thank him for taking her in and hoped that she had not caused him any trouble.

Lu Xiaofan sighed and asked why he was doing this. Xiaofeng replied on the phone: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't like me. I want him to hate me and tremble with fear when he thinks of me for the rest of his life!"

Lu Xiaofan couldn't find the words to reply her for a moment, and Xiaofeng only called him once, and there was no news from him since then.
