I thought about it before calling Lin Yi. I'd better inform Lin Yi of anything involving Dong Jie. Please update as soon as possible. One thing I know completely is Lin Yi's current attitude toward Dong Jie.
Love has almost reached the level of doting. Therefore, I don’t want anything to happen to Dong Jie again. If something happens to Dong Jie again, and I know some of the situation in advance but do not tell Lin Yi, he will never forgive me in the future.
of.
I have to be careful when it comes to Dong Jie. After all, I once had a relationship with her. Although it was a mistake and a last resort, it happened after all, so I have to be more careful.
I quickly dialed Lin Yi's number, and he immediately smiled, "Feng Xiao, it's rare. You finally took the initiative to call me."
I felt a little ashamed, "Uncle Lin, you know I'm very busy recently. Please stop criticizing me."[
He smiled and said: "I know you are busy? Am I not busy? Are the leaders in the province busier than you? But no matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your family and make time to socialize with friends. We are all social animals.
, rather than a machine at work.”
Of course what he said was correct. I immediately said with a wry smile: "Uncle Lin, your criticism is right. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. Uncle Lin, you asked me about Dong Jie last time. I didn't tell you at that time. Now you know what happened."
Are you back to business?"
He smiled and said: "I see. Feng Xiao, your method is good. And maybe Xiaojie will become famous in one fell swoop. In that case, wouldn't her self-confidence be even greater?"
I said: "Isn't it easy for her to become famous? Increase investment in this TV series, increase publicity, and hire a well-known director to direct... I think these things are not difficult for you.
.”
He said: "Well, you are right. The director who collaborated with Xiaojie this time is a very well-known one. Xia Lan and Zhuang Qing also played roles in it. Let Xiaojie handle this matter by herself. I will
I believe the effect will be very good, not to mention Xia Lan is helping her."
I then told him what happened today, "Uncle Lin, Dong Jie sent me a text message today. She wanted me to visit her. But on the one hand, I really didn't have time. On the other hand, I felt that since Xia Lan was here
There are some things that don't require me to help her. But I feel that she seems to be a little unsure."
He said: "Then you should take time to see her. You are the mayor, you can still spare a few days, right? You don't need to do many things personally. You have so many deputies, you should
Delegate more power. This is true of many things. The more power you take over, the greater your responsibility will be, and you will also make yourself very tired, which is not worth the gain."
I said: "Uncle Lin, but I..."
He continued: "Feng Xiao, Xiaojie told me that the person she trusts most is you. She won't tell me many things, let alone Xia Lan. So, since she wants to
If you want to go, just go."
There is one thing that has always made me uneasy: Did Lin Yizhi know about the incident between me and Dong Jie? But now it seems that he doesn’t know. Wu Yaru will not tell him, and Ning Xiangru will not tell him.
Of course Dong Jie herself can’t. She was in the middle of a psychotic episode at that time, and it’s very possible that she won’t remember anything afterwards. Also, it’s impossible for her to talk about things like that.
But I felt something: Dong Jie has always had me in her heart, but she already knew that there was no possibility between us.
Now, I feel happy for her in my heart, because she finally has someone she really likes. Moreover, if I can help her in this matter, I am actually helping myself.
I immediately said: "Well, Uncle Lin, let me arrange the time and then talk about it. I will try my best to go there."
He said: "Feng Xiao, you are her brother-in-law. Although Chen Yuan and she are not biological sisters, I have already agreed on this relationship. I believe Xiaojie has also agreed on it. So, you are the brother-in-law.
You should take responsibility."
Of course I heard his words very clearly. This was actually him reminding me. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart and immediately said: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will try my best to help her."
He smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that she has no confidence, but she is nervous. She has fallen in love with Liu Hu, so she cares about her so much. You should find out what the situation between her and Liu Hu is now, and then prescribe the right medicine." Feng Xiao
, I fully believe in your ability in this area. You are a medical student and have a certain grasp of psychology. This matter must be yours."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'll try my best."
He immediately said: "It's not my best. I have to."
I even smiled bitterly, "Okay. Must."[
He hung up the phone amid loud laughter.
I went through the things at hand carefully, and then went to several deputy mayors to assign several things that needed to be done immediately. Then I went to Mayor Wu's office and said, "Old Wu, I have something to do recently.
I'll be out for a few days, so please take care of things at home."
He asked me: "Where are you going? How long will it take? Haha! I'm just asking casually. To be honest, if you are not at home, I will feel very uneasy."
I smiled and said: "You have been a leader for many years, and the city government is nothing to you. I am only going out for a few days to handle some small things for my father-in-law. Lao Wu, because it's
It's a private matter, so I didn't tell anyone else. Please be more careful about work matters. If anything happens, you can call me at any time and I'll be right back."
I can only tell him the truth. If I say that I go out to investigate something, I have to bring my entourage and secretary with me. But I don’t want to do that. Now the work in the city has gradually become formal, and my deputies will follow the steps step by step.
As long as no emergencies occur, my absence for a few days will not have any impact.
After all, the probability of emergencies is very low, so I'm not worried.
He said: "Okay. Don't worry, you can go about your business. I'm at home. As long as it's not a particularly urgent matter, I won't disturb you."
I smiled at him and said: "Thank you, brother. By the way, Lao Wu, you have to pay close attention to taxation and finance recently. It is best to seize the time to interview the presidents of several banks. I found
Their thinking is still a bit rigid. Now our real estate projects in Shangjiang City are on the rise. Why don't their banks seize such a good money-making opportunity?"
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mayor Feng, you are right. However, it is certain that we have problems with the banks in Shangjiang City, but they are mainly under the supervision of the provincial bank. So I want to visit several banks in the province recently.
Bank leadership.”
I shook my head and said: "It's okay for you to visit the leaders of the provincial banks. But I think the most important thing is that the heads of the banks in Shangjiang City have conceptual problems. Think about it, other banks around our provincial capital
Real estate development and commercial development in several cities have been ahead of us for a long time. Aren't they also under the supervision of the provincial government? Why are they doing so well? Therefore, the key to the problem still lies here in Shangjiang City."
He nodded, "Listening to what you said, I think it makes sense. Okay, I'll just hurry up and get this thing done."
Then I called my secretary and gave me a few instructions, that is, I told him that under normal circumstances, he should not let people below come to me in the past few days. If anything happens, he can contact me at any time.
He didn't ask me why I ordered him such a thing, and I was very satisfied with him. As a secretary, all he has to do is obey.
Then I sent a text message to Dong Jie: I will come over as soon as possible.
She quickly called, "Brother Feng, is it true?"
I said, "I'm going to the airport right now. I guess there should be tickets available today."
She said hurriedly: "Call me or send me a text message as soon as you buy the ticket, and I will pick you up then."
I said yes. The place where she was filming was in a film and television base, and there was still a long distance after getting off the plane.
I asked the driver to take me directly to the airport. It is very simple for me to go out. I only need a small bag with a razor and one or two changes of clothes. Because I think the simpler it is, the better.
Okay, that's casual and natural, and not troublesome. I think as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you need at any time, and you don't need to pay attention to anything when you go out. You can just buy a cheap thick coat when it's cold, and another one when it's hot.
Just short sleeves or something. How easy is that? If you don’t want to wear it anymore, just throw it away. That way you won’t feel heartache.
So, today I only brought a small bag, which contained a razor, a pair of **, and a long-sleeved shirt. The clothes I was wearing were just changed, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t change them for a day or two. If
If I stay in a hotel there, my clothes can be dry-cleaned by the hotel at any time for a fee.
After arriving at the airport, I checked the flights and found that an hour later, that is, after eight o'clock in the evening, there would be a flight to the place where Dong Jie was filming. I went to the ticket office and asked, and there were still tickets. I let him go immediately.
The driver goes back.
Then I purchased the ticket and sent the flight time and frequency to Dong Jie via text message. Dong Jie quickly replied: I will pick you up at the airport on time.[
I replied to her: It would be great if Liu Hu came to pick me up with you.
She quickly replied again: No!
I was startled for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't know what her thoughts on the word "no" actually represented.
There are a lot of people in the airport. I don’t want to run into acquaintances in a place like this. Although the provincial capital is very big, the possibility of running into acquaintances at the airport is very high. The probability of people of the same level going to the same place is
The biggest, it goes without saying.
I went to the cafe inside the airport and ordered a bowl of noodles first. Not only was the price expensive, but the taste was very ordinary, but it was always filling. I suddenly felt like I was in the depths of the desert, and everything was expensive. I just came here
On the way to this cafe, I saw a shop selling clothes in the airport. I took a casual look and found that a very ordinary shirt cost more than a thousand yuan.
It’s not that I can’t afford the money, but I will compare in my mind. People’s values are relative and need to be compared, and in a place like the airport, this kind of comparison will naturally appear. The same thing,
But if I were asked to spend several times more money to buy, I would think I was a fool. But I also believe that the existence of these stores at the airport is reasonable. If their products can’t be sold, why will they continue to open them? So,
I think there is only one explanation for this: some people need it.
For example, for myself, I feel hungry now, so I don’t hesitate to buy this bowl of noodles, which is only two or two servings and a little bit of beef that looks full of fat, because I am hungry at the moment, and this is
My needs. People who are willing to buy clothes here are probably because they think the things here are high-end, and it is the psychology of pursuing class that is at work. This is actually a need.
So, I think values are based on needs.
After finishing the noodles, I asked for a cup of tea instead of coffee, because I knew that the stimulant effect of coffee was stronger. After a while, I wanted to sleep on the plane and arrive at my destination as soon as I woke up. This was the best way.
A cup of tea costs more than 100 yuan, but I need it. The noodles just now were a bit salty. I guess this store did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could they earn more than 100 yuan from me?
Sitting in such a place drinking tea alone makes me feel very lonely. Some people find such loneliness a kind of enjoyment, but at this time I feel very uncomfortable. I have so many things on my hands, but I have to
To be alone in a place like this.
A pair of lovers were sitting at a table not far from me. They were very young. They were eating fried rice. The young boy wearing glasses used a spoon to feed the beautiful girl next to him from time to time.
When he fed it into his mouth, the boy had a fawning look on his face, but the girl was completely calm.
Their intimacy made me feel even more lonely.
I immediately looked away from the lovers. I felt that their intimacy at this time was cruel to me.
At this time, a young woman came into the cafe. She was wearing a long, wide plaid shirt, a travel hat on her head, loose pants on her lower body, and a pair of travel shoes on her feet. She was very young.
The face and lips closed into a line.
She had a big backpack on her back and was sitting at a table next to me. She put down the big backpack and sat down. The waiter came over and asked her what she wanted, and I immediately heard her say: "
A bowl of beef noodles.”
In my eyes, her teeth are white and neat.
She is at least ten years younger than me, and she looks like a very independent girl. She also has an artistic temperament. In fact, I envy such young people because they advocate a kind of freedom. I am thinking in my heart
, she will definitely go to a place she dreams of, starting from here.
She finished the noodles quickly, paid for it, and then took out her mobile phone earphones to put them in her ears. At this time, she suddenly noticed that I was looking at her, but I had no time to avoid it, so I smiled at her.
She also smiled at me, then put the earphones of her mobile phone to her ears, closed her eyes and started enjoying her music.
The announcement on the radio announced that my flight was ready to board. I immediately stood up from my seat. Before leaving, I couldn't help but take a look at the girl who was still listening to the music with her eyes closed. I was very envious of her leisure time. I
I was thinking, maybe she doesn't know what loneliness is at all, and her life may only have one thing, and that is to enjoy her young time and mood to the fullest.
I really envy her, but it is a pity that I have passed that age, and what is even more regrettable is that when I was still at her age, I was not as free and easy as she was.
At that time, I didn’t understand, and I didn’t understand that I should let my youthful mood fly. Now I understand, but I have already carried a thick shell on my body.
But the girl just now made me feel much better immediately, and also made my steps become brisk.
There were a lot of people taking this flight, so I queued at the back of the boarding queue. However, the boarding speed was very fast. After getting on the plane, I quickly found my seat and immediately fastened my seat belt, and then closed the door.
Prepare to reach your destination after just one sleep.
However, I found that I couldn't sleep at all, and there were always sounds from the surroundings entering my ears. The soft voice of the announcer came from the cabin broadcast. I opened my eyes, and there was a beautiful woman standing not far in front of me.
Airline stewardess.
I found an elderly couple sitting next to me. The two of them were not talking. It seemed that the old lady was blaming the old man for not doing something well. The old man only said a word occasionally and didn't look angry.
I couldn't help but think of my father and mother, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable. It is the greatest happiness for two people to grow old together, but my mother... At this moment, my heart is full of guilt.
I started asking myself in my heart: Since you can take time to see Dong Jie, why don't you have time to spend more time with your mother and children at home?
I closed my eyes again, feeling guilty and sad. Suddenly, the image of the girl I met in the cafe appeared in my mind, and my mood suddenly improved a lot. A sunny girl.
It can affect a person's mood. In fact, there are many passers-by like her in our lives, but we usually don't pay much attention to them.
At this moment, in my mind, her smile and the white teeth in her mouth began to fill my heart with sunshine.
I fell asleep unknowingly... When I woke up, I felt very hot. The air conditioner in the cabin was turned on a bit high, and there was sweat on my back and face. The old couple next to me had already fallen asleep.
It was quiet, and the same was true inside the cabin. Except for the occasional shaking of the plane and a slight buzz, there were no other sounds. I looked at the time and found that it would be at least forty minutes until I reached my destination.
My estimation of the time was correct. After a while, I heard the announcer's voice coming from the radio. She told the passengers that the plane was preparing to descend. The seat I was sitting on was close to the ground. At this moment, I could no longer sleep.
The physical discomfort caused by the sultry heat. It was only then that I suddenly felt that I should not be on this plane and should not go to Dong Jie's place. I was thinking about two questions: I would be helpful to Dong Jie after I went there.
? If I see Zhuang Qing, will we meet in private or not?
I haven't seen Zhuang Qing for a long time. I find that I no longer have the same longing for her in my heart. Even when I think of her, even now, I don't have the same feeling in my heart.
Excited.
I looked sideways and looked outboard, and the plane was indeed descending. At this moment, I could see the mountains on this side. There was a light on the mountain, which should be a farmhouse on the mountain. So I used that light as a reference and then went
Feel the speed of the plane you are riding on.
But I was very disappointed, because I immediately found that the plane I was traveling on was incredibly slow. After at least ten minutes, I could still see the light on the mountain, and I felt that the plane was moving at a distance of centimeters per minute.
It was moving. But I immediately thought that this might be an illusion, because I was too far away from that light.
But the last forty minutes were the most difficult. When time passed slowly for nearly half an hour, I finally saw the edge of the city in front of me. It was a scene of brilliant lights, similar to what I saw in the sky above Jiangnan Province.
Same.
I once heard a saying: China is the city with the least distinctive features in the world. And I can fully feel it from the night view of the city in front of me.
In fact, this title was definitely not available before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and at that time we were definitely one of the countries with the most distinctive cities in the world. For example, the courtyard houses in Beijing are definitely historical, cultural and architectural treasures, but the process of urban construction in Beijing
Many of them were demolished, but now they are found to be rare items, which can be sold for tens of thousands per square meter. During the Liberation War, after the People's Liberation Army liberated Peiping, an architecture professor at Tsinghua University at the time proposed to preserve the Forbidden City in old Beijing.
A blueprint for building a new city in the west. According to this blueprint, Beijing will become the Athens, Barcelona, and Rome of the East, and a world-famous historical and cultural city. But for unknown reasons, this plan was rejected, and Beijing’s old city wall
After being demolished in large areas, people in Beijing today have heard that there are many places called "gates", such as Xizhimen, Dongzhimen, Xuanwumen, Deshengmen, etc. These are actually the city gates of old Beijing, and now, only
The city gate building is left, but the city wall has long since disappeared. I have long heard that taxi drivers in Beijing are highly educated and like to talk about politics and history. Every time I arrive in Beijing, I realize that this is not the case. I remember that the last time I went to Beijing, there was a taxi driver
When I raised the issue of city walls and monuments being demolished, I felt sad and lamented endlessly. In the 1990s, when Beijing was renovating its old houses, many of the old courtyard houses had to be demolished. A man who was deeply obsessed with Chinese culture and
A foreign friend who has lived in Beijing for many years was very sad. He said at that time, if these ancient things are destroyed, will Beijing still be Beijing?
After years of reform and opening up, our material life has undergone earth-shaking changes, but our spiritual civilization has not kept up with the pace of development of material life. We must leave material wealth to future generations, but we must also leave them spiritual
Wealth and spiritual wealth are not entirely in books, but also attached to historical and cultural material and intangible heritage. Ancient palaces, temples, city walls, residences, production tools, etc. are all precious wealth of our Chinese nation. If we lose them, we will lose
Lost my book. Now when I travel, I see that in most of our cities, the appearance of the cities is very similar. Moreover, the Chinese are keen on building high-rise buildings, but the establishment of high-rise buildings more satisfies the Chinese people's psychology of saving face.
Prove the results of our economic development.
When foreigners come to China, they always admire and regret that they cannot see the fascinating oriental civilization described in their own country’s books. In Shanghai, looking around, you can see the tall buildings in front of you, ancient
Things are rare; and Beijing is even evaluated by foreigners as "foreigners in yellow mantles" because Beijing still has many traditional buildings and residences, but they are just modern embellishments and foils. "****
*", Chinese people seem to have an extraordinary enthusiasm for getting rid of the old. Many of us seem to be ashamed of leaving old and outdated buildings. Modern cities are rising one after another, just like girls wearing cheongsams.
Evening dress, beautiful? Of course. Which country is the girl from?
Let’s take a look at what other countries do. Not to mention the United States, a country with only over two hundred years of history, it is still a child in terms of “age”.
Europe is a model for the world in protecting traditions. Today, all European countries attach great importance to the protection of traditional material cultural heritage. Almost every country has a committee to protect traditions, which protects and supervises many aspects of urban buildings, roads, and human settlements. Europe's
Famous cultural cities such as Athens, Rome, Barcelona, and Prague have clear requirements for modifying the appearance of buildings in the city. Individuals are not allowed to change the appearance of their houses at will. If changes are necessary, they must report it to the city's Cultural Protection Committee. Paris is even stricter and passed a law.
, stipulating that within the next 160 years, no high-rise buildings will be built in the main urban area of Paris in order to maintain the city's consistent traditional image. If you look closely at European cities, you will find that there are few large cities in Europe, and they are generally small and medium-sized, and there are very few high-rise buildings.
The buildings and even the roads are very narrow. After returning from Italy, a friend said with emotion: Not only are the streets in Rome narrow, but the bricks that make up the streets are about a thousand years old, which makes people envious. Almost everyone who has been to Europe,
Everyone has the same admiration for European cities: they are not big, not so modern, but they are beautiful. Of course they are beautiful. There are thousands of churches in a city, which fascinates me.
When a nation loses its own national foundation, it also loses itself. This is a concept that many people can realize, but we continue to destroy our traditional civilization. This is what is really sad.
.
Is this caused by the system? Not entirely, I think the reason is more of selfish desires. Officials pursue so-called political achievements and interests, and for so-called face, so the root of the problem still lies with officials.
The biggest destroyers of a country are often the officials who rule it.
Someone said this in a very extreme way: Many years later, we suddenly found ourselves being ruled by a group of stupid people. Although this is a bit extreme, it is also part of the truth.
I don’t want to be regarded as a stupid official by future generations, and I feel that I have a responsibility. That’s why I pay so much attention to the planning of Shangjiang City. I have told the person in charge of the Municipal Construction Committee many times that I must leave this
For every historic site in a city that is too old, we must find ways to restore it to its original appearance. We must not mix in any modern things, especially in the style and details of the architecture. Maybe that will make more sense.
It costs a lot of money, and it is very likely that there will be no economic benefits in the short term, but I think it is worth doing, and it is a truly responsible attitude towards future generations.
Just silently watching the night view of the city below the plane, watching the plane falling little by little, the city became more and more clear and real in front of my eyes. I soon saw the airport, with the head of the plane facing directly
I dived down the runway... I immediately felt the wheels of the plane touch the ground without much turbulence, and the plane quickly began to slow down.
Suddenly I felt down to earth, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: I'm finally here. It's finally safe.
I don’t know if other people will feel the same nervousness as me. Anyway, every time I take a plane, I regard it as an adventure. Although I know that flying is very safe, I always feel nervous in my heart.
This feeling, every time I take a plane, I am worried about that kind of chance and what if.
But I have to force myself to take it every time because I can't refuse such transportation.
Now, when the plane finally landed, I suddenly felt at ease in my heart, and I no longer regretted it in my heart. I was thinking: Since Dong Jie wants me to come here, it means that she really needs it. And
For me, this is also a responsibility. In this case, what else do I have to regret?
I was one of the first people out of the exit because I didn't have to wait for my luggage.
As soon as I got off the plane, I sent Dong Jie a text message: We're here.
Then she called me and said, "I'll wait for you at the exit."
When I got off the plane, I discovered that the temperature here was much lower than in Jiangnan, and the short-sleeved shirt on my body made me feel a little bit chilly.
When I walked quickly outside the exit, I saw her at a glance. She was alone, and she was looking eagerly in my direction. Today she was wearing a colorful dress that seemed a bit loose.
A thin sweater, and the lower body looks like a pair of jeans.
She saw me and immediately waved to me, her beautiful face was full of joy. She waved to me, "Brother Feng, here!"
I smiled at her and walked quickly in the direction where she was.
Soon the two of us were walking together, and she was right in front of me. She was looking at me, raising her head and smiling at me. I asked her: "How long have you been waiting?"
She said: "It's less than half an hour. Brother Feng, you look so handsome today."
I couldn't help but laugh, "How can you still be handsome when you are old? But you are very beautiful and youthful today."
She looked very happy and said, "Really? Brother Feng, let's go. The car is outside." At this point, she immediately reached out and took my arm.
At this moment, my heart suddenly trembled. I realized how familiar this feeling was... and it also made me uncontrollably excited. But I soon woke up.
He came over, and began to scold himself in his mind: I treat you like a big brother, and her holding your arm is just a sign of happiness.
So I suddenly became calm and walked out of the airport hall with her.
Her car was parked in the airport parking lot. When I got to the front of the car, I discovered that it was a white 7-series BMW sedan. I noticed the license plate and found that it was from our Jiangnan Province. Then I asked her in surprise: "
Did you drive the car here from Jiangnan?"
She shook her head and said, "The driver helped me drive here. I can't possibly buy another car here, can I?"
I smiled and said, "It's still a good deal if you rent a car here."
She shook her head and said: "I don't like that. It's convenient to use your own things."
I asked her: "You can't bring all your company's cars here, right? There are so many actors, what will they do in cars?"
She smiled and said: "Not to mention, I actually brought all the company's cars here, including the crew's chef, who I also invited from our Jiangnan Province. I can't get used to the food from this place."
I couldn't help but think in my heart: How long has it been? Why did it suddenly become the eldest lady's style? But I didn't say anything, thinking that as long as she felt happy, it would be fine. What's more, she now has such conditions
.So I immediately smiled and said, "Well, that's not bad."
She immediately looked at me and said, "Brother Feng, you are such a free and easy person, bringing so few things with you when you go out."
I smiled and said, "Isn't this better? I've always liked this."
She started the car and then slowly drove out of the parking lot, saying to me: "Brother Feng, I like men like you. Nowadays, many men's mothers-in-law are annoying when they see them."
I was suddenly startled and asked her hurriedly: "Dong Jie, isn't Liu Hu like that?"
She was silent for a moment, "Brother Feng, let's not talk about how he is today?"
I was very surprised, "Then why did you call me here?"
She was silent again, and then she came to ask me: "Brother Feng, have you had dinner?"
I had to answer her: "I ate a bowl of noodles in the airport before getting on the plane."
She smiled and asked me: "Then you must be hungry now, right?"
I nodded, but I was still thinking about why she called me here, "Yeah. A little bit."
She immediately said to me happily: "Then let's go have a big dinner. I'll treat you. Brother Feng, I haven't had dinner yet. I'm just waiting to have dinner with you."
I hurriedly looked at her, and I suddenly felt a sense of fear and anxiety in my heart: Does she have any mental problems?
