Chapter 72

It’s Not

Too Late With Teacher Wu here, there won’t be much of a problem.”

After all, Wu Tingtao is a golden brand in the legal world.

Xia Jinxian nodded and said, "Be careful yourself."

Ling Tanqing hummed and said, "Xu Yanqing met a girl in a bookstore before and helped her tutor the public examination questions. That girl was followed by Han Yun, Xu Yanqing's mother Li Yun also took action."

Xia Jinxian twitched her lips, "Her mother was the one who really taught me what it means to be smart."

Ling Tanqing looked at her, and Xia Jinxian continued, "That's really a good way to act with courtesy first."

While her father was making a fuss and threatening death, Li Yun only met her a few times, which was enough to make her want to retreat.

He used the most powerful means to push her to the edge of the cliff step by step. How was he like her father, who was snobbish and rude? How ugly was he?

Xia Jinxian sighed. Ling Tanqing knew that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she gestured and said, "Let's go back."

When she got home, there was no one.

Tan Qing has been on a business trip recently and may also want to explore the south, while Tan Xia has started attending night classes to work hard.

She was the only one, sitting on the sofa in a daze, thinking about what to do, but the phone kept ringing.

First, Zhao Yuanzhou personally called and asked, "Xiao Xia, I heard that you asked for leave. Are you okay? If you are unhappy, tell me, and you can choose the unit that builds the system."

Xia Jinxian knew that Wu Tingtao was responsible, so she was polite . He said, "I'm just a little uncomfortable. I'd like to ask Director Zhao to take care of me. I'll go back to work in a few days."

Zhao Yuanzhou chuckled and said, "If you're not busy, I'll help you go through the procedures in a while. I'll make arrangements here for the follow-up. Don't worry."

Xia Jinxian said, "I will listen to the organization's arrangements and do my best."

Zhao Yuanzhou said again, "Don't worry about it. If you have any problems, just ask." Xia Jinxian said

, "Thank you."

After a while, Jin Yiping called again. Xia Jinxian watched the caller ID light up three or four times, but she didn't answer it anyway.

Jin Yiping kept sending harassing text messages on WeChat. Xia Jinxian didn't want to dirty her eyes, so she just didn't read them.

Simply open the sports software and do aerobics on the balcony.

When the heart rate reaches the limit, the unhappiness will disappear with the flow of sweat.

After exercise, all worries disappear.

Zhou Chao actually called in person to ask, but Xia Jinxian still used the same tactics she used to deal with Zhao Yuanzhou and tried to evade him.

Zhou Chao specifically asked her not to be burdened, and he would also say hello to Minister Ye.

The relationship was so complicated that Xia Jinxian really found it troublesome. She just wanted to work well and live a simple life, but these complicated personnel relationships had to be entangled. Sometimes, the backer is too strong, and there will only be more people trying to climb up.

She knew very well that Jin Yiping bullied her like this because she had Li Yun's support behind her.

Zhao Yuanzhou took care of her because he looked after Zhou Chao's face.

And what about Zhou Chao? Probably because he wanted to curry favor with Ye Maocong and Wu Tingtao.

The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit.

It was almost eight o'clock, and a lot of news came in. They were all people who knew each other in the district government. They heard about what happened between her and Jin Yiping in the afternoon. Some came to find out the truth, and some came to comfort her.

Zhu Jiajia also called. I didn't expect everyone to be so well-informed.

Zhu Jiajia said angrily that she had complained to Chairman Zhang Bei. Xia Jinxian thought that neither Zhou Zheng nor Lu Mingwei came to care, and Zhang Bei couldn't say anything.

However, receiving such comfort from Zhu Jiajia, she still felt warm in her heart.

I replied thank you and made an appointment to have dinner together.

Then the calls finally died down.

This incident was really embarrassing in the afternoon. Xia Jinxian was nestled on the sofa, hugging the pillow and not wanting to move.

Although I had experienced this kind of embarrassment back then, when I was first assigned to the Archives Bureau, the feeling of being stabbed in my back by thousands of people was still fresh after all these years.

Her face has become thicker and thicker over the years.

But after all, as a party involved, it’s not that easy.

Xia Jinxian didn't want to answer the call from an unfamiliar number. After the number was displayed as missed, it was Cen Peiling's call again.

Xia Jinxian pressed connect and turned on the speakerphone, but she felt a little unmotivated when speaking.

Cen Peiling still spoke concisely and went straight to the point. She asked with a smile, "Aren't you happy in the construction management center? Who can a person like Zhao Yuanzhou choose? By the way, do you want to come to my place? Leave the building, I work here. The conditions are good, but there is a shortage of people. Can you come?"

Xia Jinxian hugged the pillow and asked with a smile, "Why did you think of asking me to come?"

Cen Peiling said, "You know, someone wants to ask you to come."

Xia Jinxian nodded. Sour, she asked, "Does he know?"

Cen Peiling didn't react for a moment and asked, "Know what?"

Xia Jinxian did not respond. After all, it was too difficult to talk about it during the day.

If falling in love back then was the sweetest experience in her life, then everything after that would be nothing but embarrassment.

Cen Peiling's mind turned around before she understood. She said, "I haven't told him, but the news about him is not slow, and he was also named in this matter. I guess he will know sooner or later."

Xia Jinxian He said, "After all, he and I are in the past tense. He is a married and successful man. I am afraid that going to your place will cause gossip."

Cen Peiling said bluntly, "Isn't he getting divorced? And I have always felt that this As long as the person concerned thinks it's appropriate, others can talk about it. What's the matter? You just think too much,

isn't it? I just had too many worries back then.

She remained silent.

Cen Peiling persuaded again, "You are like this, there is no point in staying there. I will reserve the position of director of the office for you for a month. I can't hold it any longer. You can come over and mention it again or bring it up. You can consider giving it." I'll answer."

Xia Jinxian agreed and hung up the phone.

After a while, the unknown number called again.

Xia Jinxian's left eyelid twitched and she immediately understood who it was.

She quickly connected, and when Xu Yanqing's nasally voice sounded, Xia Jinxian almost wanted to cry.

She asked immediately, "Have you caught a cold?"

Xu Yanqing smiled and said, "Yes."

The moment she heard his voice, Xia Jinxian couldn't help but shed tears. She wiped them away with her fingers and asked warmly. He said, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Xu Yanqing sighed and said, "Xiaoxian, one year I went back to Shanghai for research and I also caught a cold. I ran to the house we bought and rang the doorbell with runny nose and tears. "

Xia Jinxian didn't expect this person to settle old scores first, so she said speechlessly, "Okay, I understand. I won't rent it anymore. I'm going to leave the house, and I'll return the house to you. Come on, I'll go to the notary office tomorrow to handle the donation!"

Xu Yanqing smiled heartily on the other end of the phone, "I heard that you were still firing at me, which proves that I'm not in a bad mood. I don't want to make a gift. I just hope that my name can be added to it sometime."

Xia Jinxian said angrily. , "Ask you, when can I add more."

Xu Yanqing sighed, and Xia Jinxian didn't say anything.

Both ends of the phone were silent. In the past few years, there have been too many unwillingnesses.

After a while, Xu Yanqing asked, "Has Cen Peiling called you?"

Xia Jinxian hummed.

Xu Yanqing paused for a while before saying, "You can think about it yourself. I won't force you. After all, these rumors are spreading again now, and you-"

It was difficult to say the next words.

As the leading actor in this old news, Xu Yanqing was really afraid that Xia Jinxian would be burdened with so many false accusations.

Xia Jinxian confessed, "I really don't want to." She didn't want to cause unnecessary gossip or cause inexplicable trouble.

Xu Yanqing thought for a long time and then said, "Xiao Xian, if this relationship really makes you too tired, please let it go. I don't want you to be involved in these right and wrong because of me. I only hope that you can obtain pure happiness." And happiness."

After hearing this, Xia Jinxian felt aggrieved instead of relieved.

She couldn't let go after so many years because she loved him. She didn't feel tired of loving him.

Moreover, it was precisely because she was loved so tenderly by him that she was able to survive the loneliness for so many years.

So she couldn't help it anymore and said angrily to someone on the other end of the phone, "Xu Yanqing, are you crazy?!!!"

Xu Yanqing laughed dully, and then said after laughing for a while, "I heard those things they passed over I just thought how uncomfortable it must have been for you to hear it. It was obviously me who chased you, and I was the one who harmed you—"

Xia Jinxian said angrily, "Xu Yanqing, shut up!"

Xu Yanqing could only say obediently, "Okay. "

This is a bit too obedient.

Xia Jinxian was angry and distressed, but still didn't know what to say in response. She said, "I really just want to live an

ordinary life."

Xu Yanqing said, "So just let it go.

"

——Dang Cang——"

From Xu Yanqing's mobile phone, there was a sound of the turning of the prayer tube, which seemed to be accompanied by the chanting of the monks. Xia Jinxian was slightly stunned. She asked, "Where are you

?"

Xu Yanqing said, "Xining." Hearing her urgent words, Xu Yanqing had a gentle smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, today is the last day, and the cold is not serious. I just want to eat a bowl of tomato egg noodles."

Xia Jinxian was speechless. , she said, "First come back safely." 

Xu Yanqing said, "As ordered." 

This scene was like the time when Xu Yanqing followed Jiang Weiyi. When they talked on the phone every night, she always asked him to pay attention to his safety and cared about whether he was eating well. OK, how are you doing? 

What do you want in life? 

I just want someone who cares about me, a solid relationship, and a warm home. 

What else could there be? 

Xu Yanqing was alone at the moment. This was the last day of his business trip. He had free time before returning to Shanghai. He chose to come to Kumbum Monastery to see the pilgrims. 

He always felt that he had sinned deeply, delayed the one he loved, and made himself miserable. 

So come and take a look at these devout believers and find some salvation and comfort from the firm faith of others. 

Unexpectedly, I received a call from my colleague Yang Lan and others, openly or covertly asking about Xia Jinxian and whether there was anyone who needed help. 

He knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, but he was on a business trip, so it was really not the right time. 

So I took another mobile phone with only one contact and called Xia Jinxian. I heard that she was in good condition and finally put down my worries. 

Those hurts back then were ultimately caused by him, otherwise she should have been innocent, happy and carefree. 

Believers from thousands of miles away who kowtow all the way to worship have polished the temple's floor tiles until they shine. 

Xu Yanqing watched for a long time, and smiled in relief as the lama chanted sutras. 

At least there is hope, at least there is no compromise yet. 

Life is not over yet, maybe it is not too late. 

The news spread really fast, and Wu Tingtao also found out about Xia Jinxian being made difficult in public by Jin Yiping. 

When Wu Tingtao received a call from Xia Jinxian, he thought that Xia Jinxian didn't like the urban construction line and felt too tired and wanted to change positions. 

But when he listened to the recording in the corridor that day, the legal master who had always been eloquent and calm in court became a little angry. 

He called Xie Benchu ​​and said frankly that Xia Jinxian was his daughter and needed the attention of the district leaders. 

Later, another call came to Ling Tanqing, asking him what the relationship between Xia Jinxian and Xu Yanqing was. 

As a result, Ling Tanqing finally couldn't hide it anymore. When Wu Tingtao saw him like this, he asked, "Do you know?" 

Under the teacher's questioning, Ling Tanqing could only nod awkwardly. 

After Wu Tingtao sat quietly for a while, he didn't say anything else. He just said, "Tell Xu Yanqing that he should come to my place some time. I want to talk to him." 

Ling Tanqing agreed and sent a message to Xu Yanqing. 

After Xie Benchu ​​answered the phone, he asked Zhou Chao what was going on. 

Zhou Chao said quickly, "The last time we promoted cadres, it was also recommended by District Chief Zheng. Who knew it would be like this." 

Xie Benchu ​​knew that Zhou Chao and Zheng Guanzhou were not of the same faction, so it would be a good idea to pull Zheng Guanzhou out to take the blame. 

But after all, it was not a big deal, so he said, "You must take good care of your own cadres and take good care of them in all aspects." 

Zhou Chao quickly agreed. 

He turned around and found Zhao Yuanzhou, asking him to escort Jin Yiping over and scold Jin Yiping. 

Jin Yiping endured it at first, but finally she couldn't hold it in anymore. She argued, "Xia Jinxian did have an affair with Xu Yanqing back then, and everyone knew it." 

Zhao Yuanzhou on the side said, "Shut up, I didn't let you listen. You speak." 

Zhou Chao is so partial to Xia Jinxian mainly because he likes the power of the Ye family behind Xia Jinxian. 

When Jin Yiping said this, it hit his point of worry. Zhou Chao didn't care about the relationship between Xia Jinxian and Xu Yanqing. He was only worried that Xia Jinxian would be disturbed by Jin Yiping and Ye Maocong would have a problem with him. 

When things got to this point, Zhou Chao could only choose to force the person to stay and arrange things properly, in order to get further support from Ye Maocong.

After all, Ye Maocong is not just a deputy minister of the Organization Department. His father is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, his second uncle is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Transport, and his third uncle is the head of a central enterprise.

What's more, his grandfather Ye Ruping rose to the top of the court, and many of his disciples and grandchildren are now in important positions. The power of the Ye family cannot even be compared to that of the Su family.

It may be possible to offend Wu Tingtao, but it is certainly not possible to offend Ye Maocong.

Without giving Jin Yiping a chance to object, Zhou Chao said to Zhao Yuanzhou, "Take care of your own people and let her go and apologize to Xiao Xia."

Zhao Yuanzhou quickly said yes. What else did Jin Yiping want to say? Zhou Chao said directly, "You It's too ugly for a top leader to do this. If you can't do it, don't do it!"

Jin Yiping didn't understand why Zhou Chao was helping Xia Jinxian like this. She said, "Zhou District, you just need to get Xia Jinxian away, and I'll help you talk to the city leaders. Pull the strings."

Zhou Chao sneered after hearing this ridiculous statement and said impatiently, "Get out."
