Chapter 66: Love comes and flowers bloom.

When Xu Yanqing was walking in Hengfu Street, Xia Jinxian had just returned home from an on-site investigation at a construction site where a safety accident occurred.

When I entered the house, I saw a big luggage bag spread out at the door.

Tan Qing's matter has been resolved. After receiving the 10,000 yuan bonus from the other company, she resigned. She recently interviewed for a new job and has been training in a closed hotel these days.

Then it can only be Tan Xia.

Xia Jinxian searched around and saw that the lights and exhaust were on in the kitchen.

Tan Xia heard the noise and poked her head out of the kitchen.

Xia Jinxian was shocked when she saw Tan Xia, who had lost weight and looked haggard.

She asked, "Xiaoxia, what's going on with you?"

Tan Xia waved her hands and said, "Sister Xiaoxian, wait a minute, let me have a bowl of noodles first, I'm starving to death."

Xia Jinxian nodded and left. He went over and leaned against the door and watched her fussing around in the kitchen, devouring most of the bowl of noodles, looking like she hadn't had enough to eat in hundreds of years.

When Tan Xia took the last bite of noodles, she choked so much that she almost rolled her eyes.

Xia Jinxian slowly took a can of Coke from the refrigerator that she had chilled before and handed it over and said, "Slow down."

Tan Xia opened it and drank it in one gulp. She choked and sprayed it out of her nose.

This look is really embarrassing.

Xia Jinxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly helped her wipe it with paper.

After Tan Xia was busy, the two of them had the time to sit on the sofa and talk about her experience during this period.

Tan Qing said that Tan Xia was locked up by her father, which was indeed true.

It's just that during this period, Tan Qing was busy with her design competition and didn't care about Tan Xia, so that Tan Xia escaped from home after several twists and turns.

It was also the first time for Xia Jinxian to hear Tan Xia talk about her past.

An irritable father and a weak mother. Because their family favored boys over girls, Tan Xia's father had not been taken seriously since she was a child. After giving birth to Tan Xia, she felt that she could not hold her head high in front of the family.

And he himself had no ability, so he used Tan Xia as a punching bag. Whenever something went wrong with her since childhood, she would be beaten with sticks and kicks.

It may be difficult for others to empathize with this, but Xia Jinxian understands it quite well.

Because her father is also such a person.

This time Tan Xia was locked up at home because her father forced Tan Xia to marry the son of their local unit chief.

According to Tan Xia, that boy was just a second-rate boy, uneducated and idle at a young age.

Their family liked Tan Xia's well-behaved nature, and her father was doing some small business under the unit chief, so they could make some money together on weekdays, so they agreed.

That second-rate young man was said to have dropped out of school and had committed many crimes. Tan Xia had seen the world in a big city, so how could she be willing to marry such a person?

Xia Jinxian suddenly asked Tan Xia, "Do you really like Mr. Ling?"

Tan Xia, still immersed in her own despair, was stunned when she heard this.

Xia Jinxian looked at her, smiled and said, "You just want to live a different life, don't you?"

She watched Tan Xia fall in love with Qiu Yang first, and then fell in love with Ling Tanqing.

Now after listening to Tan Xia's self-report, Xia Jinxian suddenly understood that Tan Xia did not really like Qiu Yang or Ling Tanqing.

Tan Xia was puzzled and asked Xia Jinxian, "I really think Mr. Ling is very good."

Xia Jinxian opened her mouth, but she still didn't say the words.

She knows that most people in this world have a hard time knowing exactly what they want.

Even she herself couldn't tell whether her feelings for Xu Yanqing were the so-called unforgettable love or just an obsession that she was unwilling to lose.

Therefore, she is not qualified to evaluate Tan Xia's choice.

She leaned on the sofa and hugged the pillow, looking at Tan Xia's side face, and said, "Xiaoxia, you have lost a lot of weight."

Tan Xia's eyes turned red after hearing this, and she started sobbing again.

Xia Jinxian opened her arms and let Tan Xia lean into her arms. When Tan Xia finished crying, Xia Jinxian comforted her for a while.

Tan Xia asked, "Sister Xiaoxian, I have always thought you are a very free and intelligent person. Tell me, is there really love in this world?"

Xia Jinxian looked at her innocent face and smiled, "Of course there is. " Tan Xia asked

again, "Will I have one?"

It is ultimately sad to place all your hopes for the future on others. You can only work hard to change yourself so that you are not afraid of wind and rain. No matter what kind of people you meet in the future, you can face it calmly. At that time, what do you want? Love will come naturally."

Tan Xia looked at Xia Jinxian with her bright eyes.

Xia Jinxian's hands moved her somewhat scattered hair away, her expression was very gentle.

Tan Xia buried her face in her arms and said, "Sister Xiaoxian, sometimes you really look like the mother I always wanted."

Xia Jinxian thought of her mother's last days, and was suddenly reminded of Tan Xia Sad things.

It was her mother who took the family's household registration book and persuaded her to marry Xu Yanqing.

But in the end, she was still timid.

But, maybe everything is destined.

She was too weak back then and pinned all her hopes on Xu Yanqing.

Every time she thought about it later, she felt guilty. She was supposed to be Xu Yanqing's staunchest supporter, but when the storm came, she was the first to abandon her armor and become a deserter.

She felt a little sorry for Xu Yanqing, and regretted her cowardice back then.

She hugged Tan Xia and said, "Xiaoxia, it's not like we have reached our seventies or eighties in life. We still have time, and we can still try and make mistakes."

Tan Xia nodded desperately, with a nasal voice, and hummed.

Xia Jinxian comforted Tan Xia, but in fact she herself was not having an easy life.

During this period, Xia Jinxian was targeted by Jin Yiping, the new director of the Construction Management Center, and she was not in a good mood.

Although her self-restraint skills have reached the peak now, she cannot bear to be deliberately targeted by Jin Yiping to the point where she goes even further.

I was forced so hard that I wanted to just quit and collect rent at home.

When she mentioned this to Zhu Jiajia, Zhu Jiajia complained about her, saying that she was showing off her wealth.

Ever since Jin Yiping took office, she began to torment Xia Jinxian vigorously.

When the office meeting was held that week, the Organization Department directly announced the personnel division of labor.

Xia Jinxian is in charge of a bunch of trivial and difficult things such as documents, information, files, letters and visits, and security.

When the deputy directors saw this posture, they knew of course that they were trying to take advantage of Xia Jinxian.

However, after all, Xia Jinxian was appointed by Zhao Yuanzhou, director of the Construction Bureau. Director Zhao personally helped with the procedures. Several deputy directors were also watching from the other side, wondering what kind of background Jin Yiping had and whether they could really suppress Xia Jinxian. .

Xia Jinxian has her own rules for doing things these years. She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of it either.

Since Jin Yiping asked her to take charge of it, of course she took charge of it seriously.

However, the security work she is now in charge of has a very heavy task. First of all, she is not an expert. The section chief below is very senior. Coupled with Jin Yiping's attitude, Section Chief Xu has some contempt for Xia Jinxian. Secondly, as a woman, she is inherently weak in the field of safety supervision. Even if she wears a red helmet at the construction site, the other chief engineer or Party A will think that Section Chief Xu is the leader, not Xia Jinxian.

Whether you know it or not, it turns out that almost all production safety accidents, large and small, have never stopped in the entire region.

Xia Jinxian had to work overtime until late at night almost every day.

In this regard, Jin Yiping directly spoke to Xia Jinxian at the office meeting this week, "Director Xia, as the deputy director in charge of production safety, you must not only be proficient in your business, but also have a strong character. Everyone says it's evil. If you don't keep it straight, how come you keep doing this evil thing as soon as you take office?"

Several deputy directors have become accustomed to Jin Yiping's speaking style. As long as she is not facing them, they will naturally keep silent. of.

Xia Jinxian took a pen and wrote down a few things she had just assigned, and replied lukewarmly, "As a proletarian materialist, I only know the objective laws of things, the dialectical unity of necessity and contingency. According to Hein According to Risch's Law, accidents occur with probability. A major accident includes 29 minor accidents and 300 near misses. I think there are many safety accidents these days. On the one hand, we have a large number of construction sites under construction, and on the other hand, There were loopholes in management before. I have already worked out a new working mechanism with Section Chief Xu and will report it to the team for review when it matures. In addition, I have been to Tiananmen, but I don’t know what evil is,”

said Office Director Dao Xingqian. , I was almost hurt internally by holding back my laughter.

After all, apart from Xia Jinxian, it was the office director who faced the most trouble in this conference room.

Xia Jinxian stopped writing and looked steadily at Jin Yiping, who was choked and staring.

Jin Yiping was contradicted by Xia Jinxian, and she raised her voice and asked, "Xia Jinxian, you are quite tough now. Have you forgotten about dropping files in the Archives Bureau?"

Xia Jinxian put down her pen and laughed. "I remember the cause and effect, Director Jin."

Jin Yiping's face turned red and white at her words.

After all, it was a fabricated incident concocted by Jin Yiping and Chen Meiying. Jin Yiping knows the truth better than Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian took the pen again, lowered her head and asked her, "Do you have any other instructions from Director Jin?"

Jin Yiping was so angry that she dropped the pen, pushed the notebook, stood up and pointed directly at Xia Jinxian and asked, "Xia Jinxian, what do you mean ? ? ! Do you think you are still the cheap maid who had an affair with Xu Yanqing? !"

Xia Jinxian suppressed the anger in her heart, held the pen tightly, and took a few deep breaths before swallowing the breath.

When several deputy directors heard this, they didn't know what to say.

Director Li, who was still the most senior, opened the matter and said to Jin Yiping, "Director Jin, if you have anything to say

, please talk to me." I will try my best to do whatever you ask. But please be kind to those things that are unfounded."

Jin Yiping was so angry that she tried to slap Xia Jinxian across the small conference table.

Xia Jinxian raised her hand and grabbed her wrist. She closed her fingers and Jin Yiping felt that her wrist was about to break.

Xia Jingxian looked at her coldly.

Is this the same weak and cowardly woman she was when she first arrived at the Archives Bureau?

Although Xia Jinxian looks gentle, her eyes are sharp.

Jin Yiping didn't know that because Xia Jinxian almost encountered a criminal case when she went to the countryside to participate in a charity project, so she learned self-defense skills after returning that time.

She still goes to the gym twice a week and takes a women's self-defense class every month.

None of Xia Jinxian's tricks were fake. She reacted very quickly. When dealing with Jin Yiping, she only had to exert a slight force on her hands, which was enough for Jin Yiping.

Jin Yiping was restrained by her. Xia Jinxian grabbed her wrist and twisted it slightly. Jin Yiping immediately screamed in pain.

It was really ugly to look like this. Xia Jinxian let go of Jin Yiping, and Jin Yiping yelled at Xia Jinxian to wait and see, then walked away aggressively.

At the end of the meeting, it ended like this, which was an eye-opener for everyone in the Construction Management Center.

In front of other deputy directors, Xia Jinxian took the phone and called Section Chief Xu and said, "Ke Xu, please accompany me to the PX-933 plot. They are preparing to enter the site there. Didn't we collect one yesterday?" Do you want to complain? They said their safety facilities are not in place, let's take a look."

Section Chief Xu was still very hardworking and answered the phone and said yes.

When Xia Jinxian rushed to the PX-933 plot, she found a bunch of cars parked. Not only were the Director of the Construction Bureau Zhao Yuanzhou and the first and second leaders of the territorial town, but also Li Zhiqi from the District Office, Gu Hang, the new director of the Economic Commission, and the Investment Committee. Director Lu Guozheng was all there, as well as a bunch of people from the police, urban management, etc., all of whom were obviously waiting for someone.

Xu Ke looked at this posture and asked Xia Jinxian, "Director Xia, what should I do?"

Xia Jinxian asked Xu Ke to contact the local security office to inquire about the situation, and then parked the car a hundred meters behind the row of cars.

Xu Ke called to inquire and learned that the district leaders were coming to inspect the land and summoned various departments to hold an on-site meeting.

Xia Jinxian asked him to ask which district leader it was, but the other party said he was unclear.

They come, the security.

Xia Jinxian stopped the car and took Xu Ke to greet the construction director Zhao Yuanzhou. Zhao

Yuanzhou saw Xia Jinxian and asked unexpectedly, "Xiao Xia, why are you here?

"

Sidu was greeting the leader, but he wouldn't say much to her.

Gu Hang, director of the Economic Committee, stood nearby and nodded to Xia Jinxian.

Xia Jinxian and Gu Hang knew each other fairly well. When Gu Hang was the deputy director of the Economic Committee, Xia Jinxian had dealt with him. This person had clear ideas in doing things, was gentle to others, and neither flattered nor bullied his subordinates.

It was also because of this that when Xu Yanqing asked her about it, she confirmed Gu Hang's character.

Xia Jinxian was too embarrassed to ask them who they were waiting for, so she prepared to stand back and wait for the leaders to complete their inspection before doing their own work.

Before she could step aside, a black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her.

Xu Yanqing saw Xia Jinxian in the car, and his eyes were naturally attracted to her, and he was a little surprised as to why she was here.

But everyone at the scene was welcoming him, and his every move was being watched, so naturally he couldn't do anything else that would arouse suspicion.

The car driven by Lu Wenjing parked in front of Zhao Yuanzhou and Gu Hang. Xu Yanqing saw Lu Guozheng walking over from a distance and felt helpless at the parking location chosen by Lu Wenjing.

In terms of ranking, aren't the party committee secretaries in Lu Guozheng and the territorial towns higher up?

Could it be that just because he strongly recommended Gu Hang, Lu Wenjing thought that Gu Hang was the number one person in his heart?

This was probably Lu Wenjing's idea.

Not bothering to mention the inexperienced secretary any more, Xu Yanqing got out of the car, straightened his suit, and nodded to Zhao Yuanzhou and Gu Hang.

He didn't even look at Xia Jinxian, as if she didn't exist.
