Peng Yuanzheng drove straight to the city. He was going to see the sick Li Xueyan. One was to visit the patient, and the other was to let Li Xueyan find a way to take the "higher-level route."
The car entered the community where Li Xueyan's house is located, and Peng Yuanzheng went straight to Luo's house. He had been here once and remembered it clearly. Moreover, there were two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted at the door of Luo's house. In this row of Soviet-style small houses built in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China,
The villa is very eye-catching.
Peng Yuanzheng came to the door of Luo's house with some health products bought by Li Hua and rang the doorbell. The doorbell rang for a long time, but there was no movement inside. Just when Peng Yuanzheng thought that no one at home was going to leave disappointed, there was a sudden call from the hospital.
A feeble female voice came: "Who is it?"
It is Li Xueyan.
Peng Yuanzheng took a deep breath and said: "Xueyan, it's me, please open the door!"
There was silence in the courtyard.
After a few minutes of silence, Li Xueyan walked over with her slippers on, opened the small black door, and appeared at the door.
Li Xueyan's face was obviously pale, her hair was messy and disheveled, she was wearing red cotton pajamas, and her lips were a little chapped.
Peng Yuanzheng stared at her, his heart trembling slightly.
He knew that Li Xueyan must be a little sad, but he didn't expect her to describe herself so haggard.
"Xueyan, let me check on you. Are you feeling better?"
Li Xueyan sighed quietly, turned around and walked away, "I'm fine. The town is so busy with work, you shouldn't have come."
Peng Yuanzheng walked in and found that no one was in the Luo family. It seemed that only Li Xueyan was there.
Li Xueyan did not look back and walked all the way back to her bedroom, while Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and followed her in.
Li Xueyan's bedroom is very simply decorated, with a Simmons bed, a dressing table, a hanging wardrobe, and a wicker chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The floor is covered with a red carpet, which is soft when stepped on.
Li Xueyan slowly went to bed and got into bed again.
Peng Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed. He could neither stand nor sit. In desperation, he first put the gift he was carrying in the corner.
Li Xueyan said softly, "I don't have a stool here, you sit on the edge of the bed."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just have a headache. I don't want to get up or sleep. I'll go back to work after two days off. Don't worry about me, I'm not that fragile..."
As Li Xueyan spoke, her voice became choked involuntarily. She turned her head to one side and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Peng Yuanzheng couldn't tell what he was feeling, and he didn't know how to comfort Li Xueyan. He couldn't make "comforting" body movements to Li Xueyan, and his face slowly turned red.
"Xueyan, I'm sorry!" Peng Yuanzheng said helplessly. "I don't want to do this either."
"I don't blame you, I blame myself. I knew you didn't like me, but I still acted stupidly - like a moth to a flame, destroying myself. Who can I blame?"
"Your fiancée is very beautiful, I wish you all the best." Li Xueyan slowly stopped crying and sobbed.
Peng Yuanzheng was speechless. He really wanted to say "thank you", but he was worried that it would trigger Li Xueyan's sensitive nerves.
Li Xueyan slowly turned her head. She took a tissue from the bedside and wiped away the tears on her face. She looked at Peng Yuanzheng slightly sadly and said, "Tell me, is there anything you need me to do? I know you must be here for something."
of."
Peng Yuanzheng broke into sweat and smiled awkwardly, "Nothing to do, I mainly came to see you."
Li Xueyan reached out and stroked her messy bangs. She said softly, "Yuanzheng, don't I know you well? Tell me, is it about the commercial street renovation project? I already know that Huifeng has withdrawn its investment."
Seeing Li Xueyan's mental state, Peng Yuanzheng didn't want to talk about it, but when she mentioned it, he briefly talked about the current difficulties faced by the textile companies in the town and his intention to let the urban construction company take over the project. Li Xueyan was silent for a moment.
He said: "Okay, leave this matter to me. I'll ask my dad to say hello to Sun Shengli, the top leader of the urban construction company. He was a cadre promoted by my dad when he was the secretary of the district committee. There should be no big problem.
"….
"Actually, there's no rush. You'd better take good care of yourself first." Peng Yuanzheng's eyes fell back and fell on Li Xueyan's haggard and gloomy face. His heart twitched for no reason, and he said softly, "You are quite tired recently, so just be more
Rest at home for some time."
Li Xueyan slowly lowered her head, "Actually, I really don't want to go back to the town, because seeing you every day will make me feel very tortured. Yuanzheng, I'm sorry, I think I can no longer assist you in your work. I want to transfer
Go back to the city."
Peng Yuanzheng felt empty when he heard this. He sighed in silence for a long time and said, "Xueyan, I respect your choice. I am very happy that you can stay, but if you have other choices, I will not force you.
"
Li Xueyan's shoulders trembled slightly, but she did not raise her head.
Peng Yuanzheng slowly stood up and said with a forced smile, "Okay, Xueyan, you rest, I'll go back first."
Peng Yuanzheng turned around and was about to take a step when he heard Li Xueyan's trembling and fiery voice coming from behind, "Yuanzheng!"
Li Xueyan jumped out of bed, rushed forward and hugged Peng Yuanzheng tightly from behind, wrapping her hands around his waist and pressing her whole body against his back.
Peng Yuanzheng subconsciously felt the two elastic plumps and the two clear bulges on his back. Li Xueyan breathed rapidly and hugged her with all her strength, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Peng Yuanzheng's body stiffened.
"Expedition, I feel so uncomfortable... I really feel uncomfortable."
"I don't want to leave you, but I..."
Li Xueyan's voice was so helpless and frightened.
Peng Yuanzheng suddenly turned around, hugged her tightly, and then strode away.
After such a long time, for Li Xueyan, if he wanted to say in his heart that he had no feeling or affection at all, it would definitely be a lie. The softness in his heart was stirred, and a strong voice whispered in his heart, don't
He left to heal all the pain in her heart; but his reason told him that he could not. Qianru was still in the town, and even if he was mentally shaken at this moment, he would have a strong sense of guilt.
He didn't dare to stay any longer. He was afraid that he would be unable to control his throbbing emotions and do something to hurt Qianru.
Xie Xiaorong came down from the second floor and happened to catch a glimpse of Peng Yuanzheng's figure leaving in a hurry.
Xie Xiaorong sighed softly and stepped into Li Xueyan's room. Li Xueyan sat there holding her quilt in her arms, her eyes a little dull.
"Yan. Is he gone?" Xie Xiaorong hugged Li Xueyan, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Yan. If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, just cry if you want to. Don't keep it in your heart."
Li Xueyan bit her lip and shook her head resolutely, her voice slightly hoarse, "Sister-in-law, why should I cry? I won't cry anymore. You can't force emotional matters. He has the woman he loves. I'm happy for him."
Xie Xiaorong raised his eyebrows and said, "Yan, let me give you two suggestions. Either forget about him completely, or don't worry about him so much. Anyway, you are the first to get the moon first, and use some means to snatch him away! As long as you make the rice and cook it.
, I think Peng Yuanzheng is not the kind of ruthless person, he will be responsible for you."
"Sister-in-law, stop talking. I can't do that kind of thing. If that happens, he will suffer for the rest of his life. And I will be sad for the rest of my life, so why bother?"
"Hey... have you decided to be transferred back to the city? That's fine. Peng Yuanzheng is not the only good man in the world. There are no two-legged toads, but there are plenty of two-legged men! Yan, my sister-in-law will be here in two days.
Let me introduce you to someone!" Xie Xiaorong explained softly.
Li Xueyan's eyes turned red, but she suppressed the tears that were about to burst out, "Maybe I will forget him...sister-in-law. I want to be alone for a while, okay?"
On the way back to town, Peng Yuanzheng was in a very depressed mood...
Putting aside emotional issues, there is no doubt about Li Xueyan's work ability. It can be said that Li Xueyan played a crucial and irreplaceable role in Peng Yuanzheng's efforts to control the situation in Yunshui Town. With her here, Peng Yuanzheng's work pressure will be reduced
A large part of them were separated. And obviously, once Li Xueyan was transferred out of the town, Peng Yuanzheng lost his capable assistant and arm.
He had worried before that the close comrades-in-arms relationship between the two at work would break down due to personal feelings. He tried his best to avoid it, but now there was finally no way to avoid it - with the appearance of Feng Qianru, Li Xueyan knew that she would never be able to avoid it again.
Without any chance, one can imagine the despair and sadness, misery and loneliness in my heart.
At this time, it is reasonable for her to be unable to face Peng Yuanzheng anymore or to try to forget Peng Yuanzheng.
Back in the town, Chu Liang and Ji Jianguo followed.
"Sit down, Secretary Chu, Lao Ji. How are you? How was the meeting?" Peng Yuanzheng forcibly dispelled the haze deep in his heart and smiled calmly.
Chu Liang shook his head, "Mayor Peng, I say these guys are unreasonable. Even now, they still refuse to acknowledge the pot of wine money! They refuse to admit that they are facing a desperate situation and do not want to join forces with others or be annexed by others.
Still holding on to a sense of luck.”
"Mayor Peng, I think you should let it go for now? These textile companies have been in business for more than ten years. To be honest, they have made all the money they should make. Now they have been losing money for a few months, so they should still be able to afford it.
!”
Peng Yuanzheng said solemnly, "Don't say a few months, if this continues, they will have to stop production in another month. Moreover, they will have to default on workers' wages - and I'm worried that many companies have already begun to default on wages. Secretary Chu
, you still have to keep an eye on it and don’t cause any more trouble because of unpaid wages.”
There is a saying that "Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will come", and another saying that "people in Jiangbei speak very evil words". Anyway, Peng Yuanzheng immediately realized that these two sentences are really "irrefutable truths".
Almost as soon as he finished his conversation with Chu Liang here, Wu Mingguang and Shi Ping ran in panting. One of them put his hand on his chest and couldn't breathe, while the other said hurriedly: "Mayor Peng, no.
Okay, something big happened!"
Peng Yuanzheng was shocked. He stood up and grabbed Wu Mingguang's wrist, saying in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"Mayor Peng, there are thousands of workers blocking the national and provincial roads. There are more and more people there. I have asked people from the police station to rush over, but I am still afraid that I cannot control the situation. - Mayor Peng
, should we inform the district and ask for the support of the Public Security Bureau?"
Peng Yuanzheng's expression changed, "I'll go over and check the situation first!"
With that said, Peng Yuanzheng ran out. Wu Mingguang and Shi Ping followed closely, and almost all the town leaders at home rushed to the scene of the road blockage.
Both sides of the national highway were crowded with people, and there were two banners in the middle. On the banners were the words "I want a salary and I want to eat." Many passing vehicles were blocked at both ends of the national highway, and the scene was filled with people and chaos.
A pot of porridge.
When Peng Yuanzheng saw this situation, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that the matter was serious and the town couldn't suppress it even if they wanted to.
Li Hua and two other people from the Party and Government Office came over, and Peng Yuanzheng said loudly, "What's going on?"
"The leader didn't know where the rumors came from, saying that the textile companies in the town were going bankrupt, which caused panic. At first, workers from two textile factories owned by Huifeng Group clamored for wages, but the factories did not immediately agree.
, they started making a fuss on the road. Within half an hour, workers from other textile factories also came over, and more and more people gathered."
"Hu Jinxue is so stupid, where is Hu Jinxue?!" Peng Yuanzheng roared angrily, "Go and find Hu Jinxue!"...
…
…
"Old Ji, you call the district committee office and the district government office immediately and report to the district immediately. Seek truth from facts and don't be secretive!" Peng Yuanzheng shouted. Ji Jianguo knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to neglect. He responded immediately.
Go down and make a phone call.
"Old Wu, you guys, cooperate with the people from the police station to go to the scene and keep an eye on it, but tell your comrades that you must keep calm, don't be overly aggressive, and there must be no bloody fights."
Wu Mingguang, Shi Ping and others quickly led the policemen from the police station towards the "front line" and were instantly overwhelmed by the surging flow of people.
There was a long queue of large trucks at the other end of the national highway, and the driver was honking his horn impatiently. Peng Yuanzheng's irritability suddenly reached a peak.
"Li Hua, go find me a loudspeaker, ask for it!" Peng Yuanzheng said as he strode over there.
"Leader..." Li Hua stretched out his hand to stop him, then sighed and turned around to find the loudspeaker.
Peng Yuanzheng walked to the outside of the crowd and saw a large truck loading sand parked beside the national highway. He climbed into the truck with a loudspeaker, stood in the sand and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Workers, I am the mayor of the town, Peng Yuanzheng."
Expedition! Please stop shouting and listen to what I have to say."
"The downturn in the textile industry is the general climate in the country. Enterprises in the town are not performing well and are experiencing operational difficulties... But please rest assured that no matter how difficult the enterprise is, the town will coordinate the enterprise and ensure everyone's wages are paid! If any
If the company is in arrears with wages, the town will definitely deal with it!"
"Mayor Peng, a few months' salary is nothing, but so many factories are going bankrupt and closed. How will we support our families if we don't have jobs in the future?"
Not far away, a worker stood in the crowd and shouted loudly, which immediately triggered a response from the surrounding workers.
As soon as this person shouted these words, Peng Yuanzheng's mind was shaken, and he immediately realized that someone must be fanning the flames behind this turmoil, or even the director!
