On the way to Xia Lan's room, I was thinking: Lin Yi cannot blame me for this matter. [`Novel`] First of all, even if I informed him of the information, he was actually deceiving me. And
More importantly, for Xia Lan's safety, I let my child's whereabouts remain unknown.
And everything I did afterwards was to find the child.
I still have doubts about Tong Yao's words. I think she may have a prejudice against Lin Yi. Because I really don't believe that a wise person like Lin Yi would break the law. Just like the question I once asked Tong Yao, as we
The richest man in Jiangnan Province, Lin Yi can be said to have whatever he wants, so he doesn't have to do those illegal things at all. Moreover, judging from what happened this time, Tong Yao said how powerful Lin Yi is
The fact that she was so big was completely an exaggeration on her part. Therefore, this further proved that Tong Yao's guess about Lin Yi was completely a misunderstanding.
I quickly arrived at Lin Yi and Xia Lan's room. After entering, I asked Lin Yi directly: "Uncle Lin, have you seen my child?" [
Because after I entered, I found that both Lin Yi and Xia Lan looked ugly. I guessed that they might have just had a quarrel, so I asked him first, trying to break the awkward atmosphere in front of me.
Lin Yi immediately came to me and asked me coldly: "Why do you want to report the crime? Can't you discuss such a matter with me directly?"
I immediately felt that he was being unreasonable, and immediately said: "Uncle Lin, you said that you are in Japan, what can I do if I don't report such a big thing to you? Do you know? Xia Lan almost received a huge blow
Hurt! After you got here, your phone couldn’t be reached, what else can I do? So far, my child has not been found, but I haven’t said anything.”
He was startled for a moment, and then he said coldly: "So, what did you call Governor Huang? This is your family matter, why do you want him to interfere with it as a leader?"
His question immediately left me unable to answer, because what he said was indeed something I shouldn't do. But I knew that he was completely unreasonable to ask me this question, just to vent his inner feelings.
He was dissatisfied with me. He himself once told me that he very much suspected that Doudou’s death was related to Shi Yanni, and now I am basically certain that it was Shi Yanni who instigated it. And this incident almost made Shi Yanni fall into
It's a desperate situation, because the police have been suspecting Shi Yanni and have been looking for her whereabouts.
Shi Yanni is Lin Yi's ex-wife, and it is natural for Lin Yi to protect her. But there may be another factor in this, that is, Shi Yanni knows too much about Lin Yi's secrets. Once Shi Yanni is captured, she may
Lin Yi will also be in a desperate situation.
Originally I was unwilling to doubt Lin Yi, but now his unreasonable behavior makes me begin to doubt him.
But suspicion is suspicion, and it is impossible for me to ask a question like this. On the one hand, it is because I don’t have any evidence, and on the other hand, I don’t want to anger Lin Yi. In addition, Tong Yao told me not to be alarmed by some things for the time being.
Lin Yi.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Lin, I just want to find my child. I don't think I have much fault in this matter."
He sighed and said: "You clearly knew that I was going to find Shi Yanni, but you had to report the case to the police. I was originally going to bring your child back, but in that case I would be suspected of informing the police. I would have
I know that the police have always wanted to cause trouble for me, because they always think that there is something wrong with my Jiangnan Group. Under such circumstances, how dare I bring your child back? Aren’t you making a simple thing complicated?
?”
His words immediately made me speechless, but I immediately felt that his words were illogical. I said: "Uncle Lin, how did you know that I reported to the police? Didn't you find out about them after you came back?
Did you take your chief of staff’s?”
He gave a cold "hum" and said: "I originally brought the child back, but after I learned that my office director had been taken away by the police, I didn't dare to bring the child here. Feng Xiao, you
What should I do? Now what reason are you going to find to take the child away?"
I was immediately overjoyed, "Uncle Lin, did you really bring the child back from Aunt Shi?"
He nodded, "I placed the child in a safe place. The question now is, what kind of reason are you going to find to take the child back? I don't want the police to find evidence that I have met Shi Yanni."
Shi Yanni is my ex-wife no matter what, and we have gone through adversity together. I ran to find her in advance. On the one hand, I didn’t want her to be caught by the police, and on the other hand, I wanted to help you get your child back. But I didn’t want to
Therefore, I got myself into trouble. Now the police have regarded Shi Yanni as a suspect, and it is also a crime for me to tip her off or not report my contact with her to the police. You should be very clear about this. Feng Xiao, you
Speak for yourself, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Xia Lan remained silent while we were talking, and her face remained ugly. But at this time, she suddenly said: "Just say that the child is with the girl Shi Yanni invited, and she hasn't had time to take it with her yet."
He just ran away."
Lin Yi immediately sneered, "Then tell me, how do we know where the child is?"
At this time, Xia Lan and I stopped talking. At this time, I felt completely relieved, but because of this, it was difficult for me to feel calm again, so I couldn't think of a reasonable reason to go to the hospital for a while.
Come up with a good idea.
Immediately, Lin Yi sighed, "Xia Lan's words reminded me. Feng Xiao, you go back to Jiangnan first, and I will take care of this matter. Hey... Xia Lan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't
I am angry with you. But you should know that I am sincere to you. Shi Yanni is my ex-wife. We are no longer husband and wife, but we still have family ties. So I am very worried that something will happen to her, so I am sending this message to you.
Temper. Please understand, please forgive me."
I never thought that Lin Yi would apologize to Xia Lan in front of me. You know, such a thing is not an easy thing for him. He is a very self-respecting and proud person.[
Xia Lan didn't speak, her face furrowed.
Lin Yi stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while. Feng Xiao, you talk to Xia Lan. I'll have someone book a flight for you."
I hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, after I have a few words with Xia Lan, I will go and book the tickets myself. This hotel has its own ticket booking business."
He nodded, "That's fine." Then he looked at Xia Lan, sighed, and left.
After Lin Yi left, I immediately called the landline in the room. After dialing the front desk, I said, "Please book me a flight ticket to Jiangnan later today."
The waiter at the front desk immediately told me the time of the flight to Jiangnan in the evening. One flight was around 9:30, and the other one was at 1 a.m. I thought about it and said, let’s take it at 9:30. Then I said
I reported my ID number.
After the phone call, I went to see Xia Lan. She was still sitting there, but her head had been raised and she was looking out at the night. Her face was slightly red, but her eye circles were red.
I sighed in my heart, and then said to her softly: "Xia Lan, I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
She was shaking her head, tears suddenly falling down, "Feng Xiao, he has never been so cruel to me... He has never treated me like that... In his heart
, his ex-wife is much more important than me..."
I sighed in my heart: She has already been married once, why is she still so naive about marriage? Lin Yi had apologized to her just now and explained the reason, but she was still worrying about it. I think she is so naive
It is a kind of naivety on the issue of marriage.
Maybe she is too literary and too idealistic.
I said to her softly: "Xia Lan, don't you understand people very well? Although I am also responsible for this matter, if we think about it from Uncle Lin's perspective, his attitude is understandable. Xia Lan
Lan, Uncle Lin really likes you, I can definitely see it. In the end, this matter is all my responsibility, I'm sorry..." Then I looked at the time, "Xia Lan, I'm going to the airport.
.Don’t think about what happened today. I hope you and Uncle Lin will be well and live a good life. Goodbye."
But she immediately asked me: "Feng Xiao, do you really not want to get married again? Zhuang Qing is actually very good, and so are you."
I sighed and shook my head, "Xia Lan, this is not my problem. It's her. She doesn't want to be with me. Hey... I understand her. I won't say it anymore, otherwise I won't have enough time.
."
She looked at me and hesitated to speak. I pretended not to notice and walked out of her room immediately.
Now I can only trust and rely on Lin Yi when it comes to my children. I have no choice. And it would be meaningless if I continued to stay here.
Suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly turned back to Xia Lan's room, "Xia Lan, please help me take care of the child these days. Thank you. The child is my only concern, and my mother is always there
She is worried about him, and now she is so worried that she falls ill in bed. Xia Lan, please."
After saying that, I bowed deeply to her and left again.
In fact, I did this not only to ask her to take good care of my child, but also to urge her to urge Lin Yi to bring my child back to Jiangnan. After all, I still don't trust Lin Yi because the child treats me.
and my family are so important.
Xia Lan should understand what I mean, and I believe she will do this well for me.
In fact, each of us has a lot of regrets, and there are many things that we don’t really want to do. For me, children’s matters are more important than anything else, so I had to use Xia Lan once. So I
After saying those words to her, I left immediately because I didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
There is a kind of shame in my heart.[
There are taxis parked outside the hotel, but they asked not to use the meter. After I negotiated the price, I went directly to the airport. The taxis here are ripping off customers, but now I don’t want to argue with them because I just
I want to leave this place quickly.
On the way to the airport, I called my driver Xiao Cui and asked him to pick me up directly at the Jiangnan Province Airport.
I want to go directly to Shangjiang City tonight because I don't dare to face my mother. After all, I haven't really found the child yet.
Also, I have been away from work for several days, and I have to get back to work as soon as possible to catch up on my work. This is actually a kind of helplessness: even if I don’t want to do it anymore, I have to keep working, and I have to keep doing it well.
Even those people whom you least want to interact with still have to continue to interact, and you must do so politely.
On the way to the airport, I stared blankly at the night view of the city outside the car, and I could clearly feel its beauty and prosperity. This is a tourist city, and I have been here before. I know, in fact, here
The city at night is the same as our Jiangnan provincial capital, with romance and warmth, and there may also be a lot of evil going on. The beauty and prosperity of the city are just like the clothes on a person's body, it is just an appearance.
After arriving at the airport, I suddenly felt hungry and suddenly remembered that I had not eaten since arriving in Sanya.
After the security check, I entered the terminal building and suddenly found a place to eat. I hurried in. The waiter greeted me warmly, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"
I was already hungry, "Is there anything to eat?"
She replied: "There are beef noodles and set rice."
I looked at the time and said, "Beef noodles."
The waiter agreed and was about to leave. I suddenly remembered that I had eaten at the airport and it was very expensive, so I asked, "How much does a bowl cost?"
The waiter replied: "One hundred and twenty-eight."
I was immediately shocked by her words, "It's so expensive! The last time I ate beef noodles at another airport, it was only seventy-eight."
The waiter immediately said something that left me speechless, "Sir, this is Sanya!"
But I am indeed too hungry. No matter how expensive it is, I have to eat something first. This is just like when you need to drink water in the desert, and a bottle of mineral water costs 100,000 yuan, you still have to spend money to buy it.
This is actually a kind of monopoly. The core of a monopoly is to force higher prices with less quantity.
In fact, why isn’t our current officialdom a monopoly? Who gets what position, and when they can be promoted. These are all matters that can be decided directly by those few people. They don’t have to care about other people’s ideas and suggestions at all.
.In the final analysis, this is a monopoly on power.
But people under this monopoly system can only obey obediently. This is just like me at the moment. Although more than a hundred yuan is nothing to me, I still feel heartache. This is because of this bowl
The difference between the cost and price of noodles is too big. Because of this, even high-ranking leaders like Governor Huang still often feel helpless.
I was just thinking about it when the noodles came. I found that there wasn't much in them, and there were just a few small chunks of beef, and it wasn't exactly beef. After taking a bite, the taste was very average. You know, I'm in a state now.
A state of extreme hunger.
I ate up this bowl of noodles, and even drank the soup in it. I felt sorry for the money, and I was also angry. But after eating, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The taste of the noodles and the noodle soup was really too good.
Poor. I burst into tears and laughed: Why is this so bothersome?
In fact, everyone is like this. When we are angry with others, we often suffer the consequences. When we are angry at others, we end up hurting ourselves.
I fell asleep immediately after the plane took off. My heart has been too tired these past few days.
Xiao Cui was waiting for me at the airport. After he picked me up, we went directly to Shangjiang City.
I went back and took a shower, and was about to go to bed, but suddenly I felt a little hungry, so I went out and went downstairs to find something to eat. After walking for a while, I found a snack stall on the side of the road. It was almost midnight, and the snack stall was deserted.
But the pot was steaming hot.
I sat down there and ordered a bowl of wontons and a bowl of glutinous glutinous rice balls. Then I asked the owner of the food stall: "Why are you still here so late? There will be other people coming to eat at this time.
?"
The owner of this food stall is a middle-aged man in his forties, a little thin, and honest-looking. He answered me: "In the evening, taxi drivers and people after playing cards come to eat. I usually ask
The stall doesn’t close until three o’clock in the evening.”
I asked: "How much money can you make in a day?"
He replied: "You can't make much. A hundred yuan a day would be good. I don't dare to set up a stall during the day. The urban management is too fierce now. If they see it, they will confiscate everything immediately. If we say a few words, they will still
He knows how to beat people, so he can only sell some at night."
I frowned immediately. Then I asked, "What do you do? Don't you work during the day?"
He replied: "I work in a factory and have nothing to do at all. My child is about to take the college entrance examination and his grades are very good. I have to earn some money for him to go to college. My life is over and all my hopes are on my child.
.It’s worth the hardship.”
I nodded and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the people at the bottom of the class are really having a hard time. Many of them are running around and working hard just to survive. But they are still full of hope in their hearts: for their children.
Wontons and glutinous glutinous rice balls were served on the table, and our brief conversation ended. As I was eating, I was thinking: Once the company is restructured, many workers will definitely be laid off. This is an inevitable result of the Japanese control.
So I couldn't help but think of a question: How to resettle those laid-off workers in the future?
After returning home, I kept thinking about this issue while lying in bed, and then I suddenly had an idea.
The first thing I did after going to work the next day was to go to Mayor Liu's office. But he just asked me lightly: "You're back?"
I suddenly felt a little unhappy: something big happened in my family. As my superior, you should always care about me, right? Then I thought that he might be in a bad mood. So I said to him: "Liu Shi
Chief, we have to prepare for the signing ceremony as soon as possible recently. All aspects of personnel, venue and reception must be prepared in advance."
He looked at me and said, "Mayor Feng, since you are back, please take charge of this matter. The government office is under your control. You just need to negotiate with them."
I hurriedly said: "This matter cannot be handled by the municipal government office alone. All departments must cooperate together. You are the mayor, and you can hold a meeting on this matter so that the people below will pay more attention to it."
He said impatiently: "I don't think this is a big deal. What we have to do now is all the problems that may arise after cooperation with Japan in the future. We have to study such things in advance."
I said: "Of course that is the most important thing. But after all, the signing is a big deal for our city and even the whole province. It is a matter of honor."
But he still said indifferently: "You are the executive deputy mayor. You can organize such a thing well. Just go ahead and do it."
I felt more and more that his mood was a little abnormal, so I asked him tentatively: "Mayor Liu, is there something I haven't done well? Can you tell me?"
He smiled immediately, but the smile on his face seemed a little stiff, "Why do you think that way? Mayor Feng, you are excellent, and I am completely confident in your work."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, "Okay. I'll go and arrange it right away. But Mayor Liu, I want to ask Secretary Chen for permission on this matter first. What do you think?"
He said calmly: "Of course. You can just report to him directly."
In fact, what I just said was to test him. I think his current mood may have something to do with Secretary Chen. From his answer to me, I immediately felt: my guess may be correct.
But think about it, as the mayor of a prefecture-level city, he can basically be said to be a puppet. He can't make the decision in anything, and he must be angry. But he can only bear it silently, because he has the leverage to control Chen.
In the secretary's hand.
In fact, people are like this. When he was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he always wanted to be the leader one day, but when he actually reached such a position, he realized that the power in his hands was not as good as before. This is the so-called hope of becoming more powerful.
The greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment.
But I am also very embarrassed, because now my identity is also very embarrassing. On the one hand, I have to be responsible for my work to Mayor Liu, and on the other hand, I have to face Secretary Chen. This relationship of superiority and inferiority in the officialdom is absolutely
cannot be ignored.
Whatever he wants, that's all I can do anyway. I sighed in my heart.
After leaving his office, I immediately called Chen, "Is Secretary Chen free now? I want to report to him."
After a while, his secretary replied to me, "Secretary Chen, please come over right away."
When I arrived at Secretary Chen's office, he warmly asked me to sit down, and then asked me with concern: "How is the child? Have you found it?"
