Chapter 16

Tan Qing and Tan Xia both looked at Qiu Yang. Xia Jinxian said, "It's seven o'clock, Qiu Yang, take out the trash."

Qiu Yang took off his computer glasses, scratched his hair, and went to take out the trash.

Tan Qing said, "Only you can cure him. This guy is extremely arrogant."

Xia Jinxian had just finished a set of aerobics and was stretching with her legs crossed. She sent a message to Ling Tanqing by the way, asking him to come and take a look at what was happening upstairs when he had time. house.

When Qiu Yang came back and saw her wearing a yoga vest, his ears turned red. He silently went back to get his notebook and hid in his one-room apartment.

Tan Xia asked Qiu Yang, "Are you leaving now?"

Xia Jinxian also looked at him.

Qiu Yang coughed and said, "Well, there's something else. It's too noisy here."

Tan Xia blushed and asked, "Is it because I'm watching a drama? I can wear headphones."

Xia Jinxian said, "Ignore him, he When you are rebellious, you just like to be alone."

Qiu Yang defended, "It's really annoying."

After that, he closed the door and left.

Xia Jinxian sent a message to Ling Tanqing and made an appointment to meet with the agent and the landlord tomorrow night. If there were no problems, they would sign the contract.

After sending the message, she asked Tan Xia, "Xiaoxia, what do you think of Qiu Yang?"

Before Tan Xia could speak, Tan Qing stopped her and said, "Farewell, my sister has a fiancé. Besides, that little rebellious guy, no It's appropriate."

Xia Jinxian looked at Tan Qing and blinked at herself, knowing that she was afraid of telling the truth and hurting Tan Xia's self-esteem.

Tan Xia likes Qiu Yang, and Qiu Yang is obviously in love with her.

Obviously, this is an old-fashioned drama about Luohua deliberately flowing water ruthlessly.

Xia Jinxian knew that Tan Xia had a fiancé.

But she has experienced a makeshift marriage, so she doesn't want her friends to experience it again.

She asked Tan Xia if she liked her fiancé, and Tan Xia always said, listen to her parents.

However, looking at Tan Xia's appearance, people like his parents most likely helped her choose someone they thought was an honest person.

What happiness is there in an arranged marriage?

Marriage, if there is no love, what fun would it have?

Sometimes, the most unfair thing about relationships is that the person you like may not like you, and the person who likes you may not like you. The probability of two people falling in love at first sight is said to be only 0.5%.

Even if you meet 0.5% of this group of people, how many will eventually get married?

It's not that Xia Jinxian doesn't know Qiu Yang's thoughts, but they are eight years apart. When she turns forty, he will be in his early thirties.

The most important thing is, after falling in love with someone like Xu Yanqing in this life, who can I fall in love with again in the future?

She clicked her tongue, her own affairs were not settled yet, but she had time to be compassionate and worry about others.

Xia Jinxian took a bath towel and went to take a shower. When she came out, she received a message from Lu Mingwei on her phone, asking her to accompany him to a reception tomorrow night.

Xia Jinxian replied OK, so she could only ask Ling Tanqing to change the time to invite him to see the house.

On the night when Xu Yanqing finished handing over the work of the ministry, Minister Sun personally held a small farewell banquet.

Xu Yanqing himself didn't drink much, but the two deputy directors he trained worked hard and sacrificed themselves at the drinking table to help him avoid drinking.

Minister Sun was sitting in the first place, with a calm face, but in his words, the minister in charge of Xu Yanqing repeatedly told him to take good care of Xu Yanqing even after he returned to Shanghai.

Everyone had heard that Xu Yanqing was originally going to be sent to the northwest, but they all relied on the minister to save him.

He has always had a good reputation in the SDIC Department. He is an upright person and focuses on his career. When working in his department, there is no need to flatter others or speculate on his superiors' intentions.

As long as you do a good job, you can get recommendations and promotions, so the atmosphere is always good.

Now that Director Xu is about to become Deputy District Chief Xu, everyone is very reluctant to let him go. Although they feel sorry for him in their hearts, Xu Yanqing said, "Life is an open life. Every path is the right path. There is no distinction between high and low positions."

It was also because of this that Minister Sun admired him very much.

People who don't care about gains and losses are often more favored by fate.

A few days ago, Li Yun was in Xu Yanqing's apartment and asked Xu Yanqing why she wanted to divorce Han Yun.

His mother Li Yun has always felt that she has all the principles in the world, and as her son, he can only obey.

If he doesn't listen, it's because he has too little knowledge.

When he was in fourth grade, there was a period when he was particularly tired of studying. After class every day, he didn't want to go home and would hang out outside.

At that time, the family still lived in an old public house. There was a park not far away. There, he and a girl raised a few chickens. Every day, he stole some rice from the kitchen at home and put it in his pocket to feed them. chick.

There was a security guard who lived in the park. Seeing how innocent the two children were, he helped them find a foam box and put the chickens in it. He also used a light bulb to light up the chickens at night to keep the chickens warm.

Later, when my mother was washing clothes, she found rice in his pocket, so she secretly paid attention to it.

One day after school, his mother followed him to the park and saw him and the girl feeding the chickens with rice.

That day, my mother appeared quietly, with a cold face and no expression.

Then, in front of him and the girl, he smashed the chicken to death, pointed at his nose, and told him, "If you don't study hard, you will be like these chickens when you grow up. Kneaded, unable to resist, can only wait for death. "

That was his deepest childhood nightmare.

Eight years ago, when he wanted to make an effort to get rid of the shackles of his parents and be with Xia Jinxian at all costs, he was met with violent tactics from his parents.

If Han Yun used words and power to bully her, then her mother pressed hard step by step and used all despicable tricks to make herself compromise and Xia Jinxian chose to give up.

In a blink of an eye, half of life is over.

His mother actually thought he was a fourth-grade boy.

That day he only asked his mother Li Yun, "Mom, if I were not a director, but just a clerk, would I still be your son?"

Li Yun said at the time, "I have raised you for so many years, and you will Are you going to repay me by breaking things like this?"

Xu Yanqing thought, if it is his child, no matter whether he is outstanding or ordinary, he is still his child.

Doesn't he love it anymore?

If family affection is conditional, what else is it called?

And her mother's devotion to him was conditional.

He has already stood up, but his mother still treats him as a child. Isn't he too naive?

He said to his mother, "Mother, whether you are nominated or not, you are my mother. And if you feel that I have embarrassed you, you can choose to disown me."

After he said this, what he got in exchange was A loud slap in the face and an order forcing him to go to Han Yun to apologize.

This is his mother.

Ah.

Sometimes, parents are not even comparable to an ordinary friend, let alone the mentors in his life.

Wu Tingtao has a legal bottom line that he cannot trample on, and Minister Sun has a professional ethics that he cannot trample on, but what about his parents?

He just repeatedly trampled on his self-esteem in exchange for a successful career and achievements in life.

This world is really a mess of right and wrong, black and white.

When Xu Yanqing thought of this, he just smiled in relief.

He raised his cup and said to Minister Sun, "I would like to thank the Minister for his years of cultivation, and also thank the Minister for admonishing me this time. Yan Qing has nothing to repay. If there is any need in the future, please feel free to let the Minister know."

After that, he Drink the wine with your head up.

Minister Sun raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. He held the glass upside down with him, patted his shoulder and said, "I heard you came back from Shanghai with good news."

Xu Yanqing smiled slightly.

With a bookish air and his unique cold temperament.

On the day when he packed his things and was about to leave Beijing, Han Yun called him and said, "You have gone through all the trouble. You asked Sun Zidong to help you talk, just to go back to see her?"

Xu Yanqing said, "She is not what you think. Are you willing to get married? After all these years, I should have a child. Why should I go to see her? Why should I wait until now?"

Han Yun believed what he said, but she asked again. , "If you leave the Su family, your life will not be easy, won't you regret it?"

Xu Yanqing wanted to laugh, but replied in a very calm tone, "No."

Han Yun suddenly asked him again, "Are you Is there anyone outside?"

Xu Yanqing said, "You don't have to be so arrogant."

Han Yun was angry and finally hung up the phone angrily.

After a while, he sent another message: I won't get divorced, and you won't win the lawsuit. Don't even think about it.

Xu Yanqing ignored it, put away his mobile phone, contacted the staff of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, met at the train station, and took the high-speed train back to Shanghai.

When we arrived, there had just been a thunderstorm in Shanghai, and there was still the moisture of summer plants in the air.

He took the official route. As the newly appointed deputy mayor of a new district, he had two deputy mayors come to pick him up in person. This was a very high standard of treatment.

Mayor Shao was his boss when he was on the management committee, and Mayor Jiang was his leader when he was in the new district.

Staff from the Central Organization Department were discussing follow-up procedures with staff from the Shanghai Municipal Organization Department, while Xu Yanqing was catching up with his two bosses.

Today, District Chief Xie of the new district also came, bringing with him several people from the new district. Among them, Li Zhiqi, deputy director of the district government office, was an old acquaintance of Xu Yanqing.

Eight years ago, Xu Yanqing failed to be promoted, and the contribution of Li Zhiqi and his wife Zhong Weiyi was indispensable.

The fork in the road I walked through eight years ago, I didn't expect to come back eight years later.

Mayor Shao was talking to Mayor Jiang about the affairs of the management committee back then. Xu Yanqing listened with him but didn't express much opinion.

After a while, Minister Sun called Mayor Shao directly and asked, "Is Yan Qing here? We have sent the best talents to you. Xiao Shao, you have to take good care of me."

Mayor Shao smiled and said, " Minister, don’t worry, Yan Qing was also the director of the office when I was in the Management Committee. He has been cultivated by you over the years. It goes without saying that we will take care of him and make arrangements."

Minister Sun gave a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Mayor Shao said to Xu Yanqing, "Look, Minister Sun is really worried about you. This is the fourth phone call."

Xu Yanqing smiled, Mayor Shao and Mayor Jiang patted him left and right. He said over his shoulder, "Welcome back."

Friends Pan Yijun and Chen Ming were even more happy and planned to support him that night.

However, we really couldn't get together with them for this first reception banquet. Xu Yanqing was led by District Chief Xie to participate in a small-scale high-level reception banquet.

There were all respectable people at the table, and quite a few of them were friends who had frequented each other since they were in the capital.

Mayor Jiang and Mayor Shao were the hosts, and District Chief Xie was the host. This reception banquet also gave Xu Yanqing plenty of face and pomp.

Xu Yanqing is about to be appointed as the deputy district chief in charge of economic work in the new district, and people from the city's economic-related departments are also coming, all of whom are top leaders.

Accompanying him, the deputy district chief who is not even ranked among the top five in the district, is a highly qualified candidate.

However, Xu Yanqing came from the capital and it is not clear how many resources and connections he has at his disposal. However, just because he is Minister Sun's most valued general, it is enough for him to have a halo.

During the banquet, there was a lot of people drinking and drinking, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the meeting came out, District Chief Xie asked Xu Yanqing to settle down first, and then called Lei Mingjin, director of the district office, to arrange accommodation for Xu Yanqing and prepare for his subsequent appointment.

This city is changing rapidly.

The center that was not yet seen back then has been completed and stands in the skyline, becoming a scene that cannot be ignored at night in this city that never sleeps.

The buildings on both sides of the Pujiang River complement each other.

The neon lights are flashing and the riverside scenery is more prosperous than before.

The scenery they once saw side by side was different from what it was eight years ago.

He left during the rainy season in June of that year, and now he is back in the midsummer of July.

Eight years passed so quickly that I didn’t realize it.

Why should we still remember her?

She was obviously living a good life, but she was the one who owed and felt guilty.

I can’t let go either.

But secretly, I felt that now that I was back, I wanted to see her.

I wanted to ask her if everything was okay.

But he was afraid to hear her say that it was all over.

Xu Yanqing walked along the riverside and wanted to go back to the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

Pan Yijun called and asked, "When are we going to meet? Chen Ming and I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't let me become a leader and ignore people. Why can't I even ask you to dinner?"

Xu Yanqing said with a smile, " Let's do it tomorrow night, so I won't have to worry about it."

Pan Yijun agreed quickly and sent the location and restaurant address shortly after.

Perhaps Yan Qing stood in the midsummer evening breeze and saw a figure similar to hers not far away. No matter how sticky the wind made her sweat, she couldn't move a step away.

She is back, so he has to take a second look at everyone who looks like her.

I hope it's her, but I'm afraid it's her.

I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.

Everyone has just received news that Xu Yanqing has returned to Shanghai to serve as the deputy district chief of the new district.

A flat transfer is not like a promotion, there is also a public announcement.

Xu Yanqing's calm tone was quiet. When the appointment was made, everyone knew that there was a new deputy district chief in the new district.

Xu Yanqing originally came from the New District, and there are many people who know him.

Regarding this transfer, it is not impossible that some people have received inside information, but they are also very surprised.

After all, the central agency directly parachuted into the place. How strange is this operation?

Xu Yanqing made a big fuss in the new district back then, and he was the only person who failed to be promoted in so many years.

There are more scandals about him.

It is rumored that he played with a female subordinate and made her pregnant. Finally, in order to squeeze out the then director of the district office - now the director of the district office Zheng Xu, he also instructed the female subordinate to write a letter of report against Zheng Xu.

So he suffered retribution and failed to be promoted.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she married into a high-ranking family, brought up the situation, but was sent out because of disobedience.

It seems that the divorce is still going on.

This kind of story of rising to the sky and then falling to pieces is the most enjoyable to talk about.

Seeing other people's bad luck and good deeds will always give people a secret pleasure, so they describe it more and more vividly and add jealousy, which is far from the truth.
