Before telling the truth, Zhan Pengfei glanced at Li Yuanlang, signaling Xie Ke to avoid it. He couldn't tell it, so he had to let Li Yuanlang think of him as the villain.

"Shaike, you go and guard outside. Don't let outsiders come in and disturb our conversation."

Xie Ke worked as a secretary, and with his eyes and ears in all directions, he naturally understood that Zhan Pengfei would only say the next words to Li Yuanlang. He blushed, smiled awkwardly, walked out of the interview room, and stood outside the door acting as a doorkeeper.

.

"What did Jin Weixin say to you? Did you just ask me to persuade me?" Zhan Pengfei took on his third cigarette and also used the cigarette butt to counter the fire.

"Smoking less." Li Yuanlang saw Zhan Pengfei coughing violently and kindly advised him. What's funny is that he is also a heavy smoker. Advising others to smoke less is just like the warning on the cigarette pack that smoking is harmful to health. It is full of self-deception.

smell.

"He just asked me to persuade you to let it go, Pengfei. If I guessed correctly, this matter must be related to women."

"Indeed, it's for a woman, a woman that I love deeply and has a great influence on my life..." Zhan Pengfei looked out the window as the sun set in the west and the dusk came, and all he could see was the dark sky.

, just like his situation at this time, there is no light at all.

This woman's name is Jin Yimeng, who is twelve years older than Zhan Pengfei. She is Mr. Jin's eldest granddaughter and Jin Weixin's cousin.

The south where Zhan Pengfei is located is a place familiar to Li Yuanlang, Jingyun City, the capital of Nanling Province.

In the beginning, Zhan Pengfei, who had no diploma or academic qualifications, made a living by working as a laborer on construction sites, moving bricks. Ordinarily, he and Jin Yimeng were unrelated, and it was impossible for them to get together, but God just made the two of them get together.

Together.

One day more than ten years ago, Jin Yimeng, who was the deputy mayor of Wucheng District in Jingyun City at the time, went to inspect the construction site. Suddenly, a strong wind blew down the promotional sign on a building that was under construction, and blew it away.

The sign hit Jin Yimeng impartially.

Jin Yimeng was stunned and stood motionless, looking at the possibility of a catastrophe.

At the critical moment, Zhan Pengfei, who was not far away, rushed over without fear of danger and pushed Jin Yimeng away first.

Jin Yimeng was saved, but the big sign hit Zhan Pengfei's calf, causing blood to flow profusely and almost losing the leg.

Zhan Pengfei saved Jin Yimeng's life. Afterwards, Jin Yimeng visited him in the hospital many times, and after he recovered from his injury, he used his connections to transfer Zhan Pengfei to a company with good profits.

During the mutual contact, Jin Yimeng's meticulous care for Zhan Pengfei, who was more than ten years younger than herself, made Zhan Pengfei feel strange feelings. People are emotional animals. As time goes by, it is inevitable that the spark of love will happen and a breakthrough will occur.

Despite the differences in age and status, the two came together.

Because Jin Yimeng has a family, a husband and children, and cannot get a divorce because she is in the officialdom, Zhan Pengfei became her underground boyfriend. For more than ten years, the two have been living in secret, not daring to expose this underground relationship.

Considering that Zhan Pengfei's diploma was low, Jin Yimeng asked him to apply for a vocational training class and obtain the professional qualification certificate of a financial service technician, from an assistant financial service specialist to the current financial service specialist.

With this certificate, Zhan Pengfei took the lead in working in an investment company. He started as an ordinary clerk in the investment management department. With his intelligence, he gradually reached the position of manager of the management department.

Feeling that his wings were strengthened, Zhan Pengfei raised part of his own funds and received strong financial assistance from Jin Yimeng, so he opened the "Jinpeng" investment company. As the name suggests, the word "Jinpeng" is a combination of Jin Yimeng and Zhan Pengfei.

A word in each of Pengfei's names.

After several years of hard work, the company's profits have grown rapidly, from small to large, from nothing to something, and it has already established a firm foothold in the financial community of Jingyun City.

It can be said that without Jin Yimeng's help, Zhan Pengfei would not be where he is today. She was kind to Zhan Pengfei. Zhan Pengfei's achievements are all thanks to Jin Yimeng.

Originally, the relationship between the two had been peaceful for so many years. But recently, Jin Yimeng was running for mayor of Jingyun City. Issues about her life style were discovered by her competitors and publicized. Naturally, they also reached the ears of the old man of the Jin family.

.

After all, fire cannot be contained in paper, and sooner or later it will burn out.

Mr. Jin is in his nineties, has good hearing and vision, and is not confused at all. His greatest wish in life is for his children to achieve success in politics or business.

Jin Yimeng's parents passed away early, and she grew up beside her grandfather when she was a child. Mr. Jin was particularly fond of his granddaughter and trained Jin Yimeng for a career very early. Even her marriage was a good match according to family inheritance. And

There must be a family that is sufficiently helpful to Jin Yimeng, and her husband and parents-in-law just have this, a typical political marriage.

When Mr. Jin learned that his granddaughter dared to keep a pretty boy outside the family behind his back, and that she was more than ten years younger than her, he was furious and furious. He had been in a high position for many years, and the impact of men and women on his official career was huge, especially

Being caught by a competitive enemy will have devastating consequences.

During the critical period when your granddaughter is running for mayor, no extraneous matters should be allowed to arise.

On the one hand, Mr. Jin helped put out the fire, and on the other hand, he sent people to investigate and collect evidence, which confirmed the ambiguous relationship between Jin Yimeng and Zhan Pengfei. So Mr. Jin took action resolutely to cut off the bad relationship between the two.

Affection.

In fact, Zhan Pengfei returned to his hometown in Guangnan this time to avoid disaster. After all, this is his hometown. He is familiar with every plant, tree, person and scene here, so it is very convenient to hide.

But against all odds, she ran into trouble on her first night back. From Jin Yimeng's report, she learned that her cousin Jin Weixin was the powerful deputy mayor of Guangnan City.

Mr. Jin was far away in the capital, out of reach, but under Jin Weixin's nose, he was within reach, and he could squeeze him as much as he wanted.

At first, Zhan Pengfei didn't take it seriously. He even thought that I had not broken any laws and what could he, a deputy mayor, do to him. But the facts taught him a hard lesson. Don't offend officials when you offend anyone. The law is for the common people.

, for some officials, it is like a piece of waste paper with no binding force at all.

So he and Jin Weixin met and quarreled, which angered Jin Weixin. In anger, he took him to the detention center and forced him to leave Jin Yimeng.

The facts Zhan Pengfei dictated were similar to what Li Yuanlang had guessed, but he did not expect that Zhan Pengfei would commit himself to an older woman who was ten years older than him for ten years.

He has a strong opinion on soft-boiled men. He feels that a man relying on women to support his position is detrimental to the word man. It’s not that he has machismo, but he thinks that men should hold up the world and women should be in the world of men.

Facing a comfortable life, this is the responsibility and responsibility that a man should have.

But Zhan Pengfei is currently facing a difficult situation. For the sake of the friendship he has had with his classmates for many years, he cannot just sit back and do nothing.

"Pengfei, can you leave Jin Yimeng?" Li Yuanlang asked tentatively.

"No." Zhan Pengfei answered resolutely, without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Li Yuanlang frowned, his expression very serious.

"Because I love her, but I can't be with her forever. I also love her, and I want to guard her and wait for her."

"You don't call this love, you call it selfishness." Li Yuanlang's tone increased. He despised Zhan Pengfei's kind of love, this kind of selfishness and narrow-mindedness that only cares about his own feelings and does not care about others. "Have you ever thought about it, once Jin Yimeng because of you?

, because your abnormal love relationship was caught and controlled by the opponent, what consequences will it have on her? I have been in politics for more than ten years, and I know that the upper management attaches no less importance to the private life of officials than to corruption. Don’t do it when the time comes.

When Jin Yimeng is running for mayor, it is unknown whether she can keep her current official position. Also, she has a family, a husband and children. If she gets divorced because of you, the children will lose their mother and lack a complete family. For the children

There is always a shadow accompanying her growth. Pengfei, listen to my advice and let go when it’s time to let go. Your presence will affect her career, her family, and her relationship with her natal family and her grandfather. In short, there are disadvantages

More than profit."

Zhan Pengfei was stunned. He didn't think as far and as far as Li Yuanlang. He only thought that he loved his woman wholeheartedly, and the rest was just a cloud.

This is a real society. Love is firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea, not Platonic spiritual food.

If Jin Yimeng loses power, Zhan Pengfei will also be implicated, with no good consequences. The Jinpeng Investment Company he has worked for for several years, and his tens of millions of assets will be wiped out. Does he want to enjoy a prosperous life or go back to before?

I believe everyone will choose the former.

"Yuen Long, let me think about it..."

"Okay, tell me when you have figured it out, and I will talk to Jin Weixin." Li Yuanlang believed that the Jin family would definitely offer generous terms for Zhan Pengfei to leave Jin Yimeng. For no other reason than for his old classmate,

Li Yuanlang will strive to maximize his interests.

When he came out of the detention center, the sky was completely dark. Xie Ke still had the duty of a secretary, and he didn't want to inquire further. He didn't even mention a word about what Li Yuanlang and Zhan Pengfei talked about.

Ask what you should ask, and resolutely don't ask what you shouldn't. This is the professional ethics that a secretary should have. If you can't do this and talk nonsense, you will probably be punished.

The two sessions in Guangnan City last for two and a half days, closing in the morning on the third day and having a dinner party at noon.

Just like attending the meeting in Ganping County, Li Yuanlang didn't drink much because he had to meet Jin Weixin in the afternoon. Early this morning he received a call from Zhan Pengfei through his connections. After a night of fierce ideological struggle,

Zhan Pengfei accepted Li Yuanlang's proposal and left Jin Yimeng completely.

When he told Jin Weixin the news, Jin Weixin didn't say anything else. He just said three words: "I got it." and hung up the phone.

Li Yuanlang made a clever calculation and guessed that Jin Weixin would definitely call Mr. Jin to report. Only after receiving the old man's instructions would he have a final showdown with Li Yuanlang.

Shui Qingzhang and Shen Zheng sat around the table to toast. When Shui Qingzhang came to Li Yuanlang's table, Shui Qingzhang was very calm. He didn't even look at Li Yuanlang. He raised his glass and said, "Thank you very much." Then he said softly.

He took a sip of wine.

The secretary of the municipal party committee had a heart disease and should not drink too much, but his subordinates had to drink it all in one gulp. When Li Yuanlang drained the liquor in his glass and was about to sit down, Huang Liwei quietly moved behind him, secretly slipped him a note, and returned

He made an imperceptible smile.
