Chu Heng smoked cigarettes one by one, and the bird smoke swayed in the air, sometimes like an angel, sometimes like a devil.
Du San sat across from him silently, looking at the elder whose face was suddenly bright and dark. He felt uneasy, for fear that he would be blamed by the elder for not doing things well.
What Chu Heng faced now was nothing more than two paths.
Either he stands up with a strong head and declares to the world that he has saved Qingyuan with a loud voice. It is just some troubles that will follow. I don’t know if he can withstand it.

The other option is to simply give up on Qingyuan, choose to protect yourself wisely, and let it fend for itself.
But he didn't want to choose either of these two paths.
Qingyuan and he met because of Tianqingglai. Although they have not known each other for a long time, the friendship between the two is quite strong. They can be said to be both teachers and friends. Chu Heng learned a lot of knowledge from the old man.
He was given everything he had to teach him without any reservation, so just asking him to just ignore the old man was something he absolutely couldn't do.
But if he directly stands up to protect people, he doesn't have such a solid head...
For a time, Chu Heng was in a dilemma.
This went on for a while.
Qin Jingru suddenly poked her head in from outside the door. Seeing that only Du San was in the room, she opened the door without any scruples and walked in with a basin of water.
She didn't say anything, and after coming in, she started wiping the room.
After Du San glanced at it, he looked away with a strange expression and drank tea honestly, as if he didn't know that this was the second sister-in-law.
You know some things, I know them, and he knows them too, but they must never be brought to light.
To put it mildly, this is called a fig leaf; to put it worse, it is called being a bitch and having to erect a memorial arch...
Not long after this, Qin Jingru packed up at Chu Heng's place. While wiping the table, she accidentally knocked off his bag.
"Wow!"
The contents of the bag were instantly scattered all over the floor.
"oops."
Qin Jingru exclaimed and squatted down to pick up something on the ground.
Chu Heng subconsciously stretched out his palm to cover the top of her head and pulled her towards him, but he quickly realized that the situation was not right.
He came back to his senses, lowered his head to look at the things on the ground, and noticed the small notebook where he had written various plans, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Crack!"
Chu Heng clapped his thighs excitedly, and said with a smile, "I'm so damn stupid, what am I trying to do?"
He thought of a third way.
Seeing this, Du San quickly asked: "What's wrong, Master Chu? Do you have any idea?"
Chu Heng glanced at Qin Jingru, who was still picking up things. He didn't want her to know too much, so he smiled at him without explaining much. He just waved his hand and said: "Go and hold him there first, and try to use other excuses."
If you cause trouble for them, I will find you for the rest later."
"clear."
Du San nodded, stood up wisely, and got out.
After the door was closed, Chu Heng roughly put his hand on the top of the head of the second room, who was still squatting on the ground picking up things.
"Here, let me tie my shoes."
…
Nine o'clock.
Qin Jingru walked out of Chu Heng's office, her face flushed, her steps unsteady, and she walked unsteadily, as if she was drunk.
Chu Heng was smoking a cigarette expressionlessly, thinking about the meaning of life.
After he finished smoking a cigarette, he broke away from his saintly state and skillfully took out disinfectant and sprayed it in the room. In the blink of an eye, the small office had the atmosphere of a hospital ward.
Then she continued to flip through the newspaper.
After a while, the door was knocked one after another. Su Chen, Huang Mingfeng, and Luo Hualin's subordinates and leaders came to him one after another to report their work and say hello.
The time soon came to eleven o'clock.
After Chu Heng signed an application report and sent Luo Hualin away, he turned and looked out the window. Rain was still falling in the sky, and the whole world was dark, cold and damp.
It's not a good time to eat Shaomai in this weather, so I have to boil the mutton.
Chu Heng, who happened to be a little hungry, licked his lips, packed his things, and prepared to go to Chongwen Branch to have a meal with He Zishi, who had been promoted.
He came out of the house carrying his bag and walked down the old stairs.
Just halfway through, there were sudden footsteps.
There were two people together. The first one's footsteps were heavy and then light. You knew it was Uncle Zhang outside the door without seeing anyone. The footsteps of the second one were heavier and then lighter. I guessed it was c.
soon.
When Chu Heng met the two people, he saw Uncle Zhang leading a woman upstairs, and this person was none other than Na Dongzhen, the daughter of Qingyuan.
Chu Heng, who was just thinking about that family, was stunned for a moment and said, "Dongzhen? Why are you here?"
Na Dongzhen, who was thinking about something, was also stunned, and then said quickly: "I'm here to find you, brother."
"Okay, it saves me trouble this time." Seeing this, Uncle Zhang, who was dragging his lame leg, smiled and said, "Then I'll leave first, Chu Suo."
"Oh, you are busy with your work, Uncle Zhang, you are tired." Chu Heng took out his cigarette and gave the old man a look.
"You're welcome, this shouldn't be your share." The old man continued with a smile and limped downstairs.
"Let's go, Dongzhen, follow me upstairs." Chu Heng waved to Dongzhen, who was all wet, and led her back.
A few moments.
The two returned to the office.
Chu Heng closed the door, walked to the desk and said to Na Dongzhen: "You are looking for me because of that group of foreigners, right? Don't worry, I have...
"That's not the case." Na Dongzhen suddenly interrupted him.
"Um?"
Chu Heng, who was pouring tea, stopped in confusion, then handed over a cup of warm tea and asked at the same time: "What is that?"
"It's my dad, I want you to come over tonight." Na Dongzhen, who had been riding in the rain for a while, took the tea cup shivering, took a big sip, and exhaled comfortably.
"Hmm~"
"Do you know what's going on?" Chu Heng became even more curious.
"Then I don't know." Na Dongzhen shook his head.
"Okay, I'll go over and ask him tonight."
Chu Heng frowned and nodded, and then asked about the current situation of that family.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Na Dongzhen finally got warm and stood up to leave.
Chu Heng didn't leave her to eat or anything, and sent her downstairs. After watching Na Dongzhen put on her raincoat and get into the rain curtain, she also turned around and got into the car with a complicated expression and left.
When he arrived at the Chongwen branch, there was no food open, so he went directly upstairs and found He Zishi, who had just returned from field work and was chatting and spanking with people in the office.
"Why are you here?" Seeing him entering the house, He Zishi quickly stood up and welcomed him into the house.
"It's nothing, come here." Chu Heng smiled and said hello to the bureau leader who shared the same office with He Zishi, then he took the cigarette he handed him and said, "I'm here
We’ve run out of food at noon. Do you have anything to do in the afternoon? Why don’t we go have a drink together?”
"It's done."
He Zishi was not happy to invite Chu Heng to dinner. He directly said hello to the leader of his roommate and then walked out of the room with Chu Heng carrying his bag.
He owed so many favors to Chu Heng. His sister's work, this promotion, and some of the things that happened when he was the director were all gone.
What is this meal?
He will be happy if you treat him a few more times.
