I actually had no other plans that night, except that I didn’t want to spend time having dinner with the organist.[`Novel`]
I rushed back to Shangjiang. I wanted to take more time to carefully study and think about some recent work.
The next afternoon Guan Qin called and said that the visa to go abroad had been processed, and this travel agency happened to have a tour group going to Australia the day after tomorrow. The travel agency meant that we could go to Australia with this tour group, so the air tickets
It's much cheaper, and we can come back with this tour group on the return trip, but we can move around freely during the trip.
Of course I knew that the travel agency wanted to do a promotion, but I thought it was very convenient. I said to her: "Doctor Guan, I think we can ask the travel agency to handle our air tickets, and you can also join this tour group personally.
But you have to take one or two days to go to the University of Sydney to investigate. It is necessary to show off and walk around, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when you come back. I have something to do in the past, so I will not join the group to travel with them.
Already."[
She said: "I think, let's make an appointment to go to the University of Sydney together. Just for one day. How about that?"
I thought about it and then said: "The tour group will definitely arrange a day to visit Sydney. Australian tourism should definitely include a visit to the Sydney Opera House, just this day."
She said: "But, I also want to see the Sydney Opera House. What should I do?"
I smiled and said, "Let's go alone in the evening. The travel agency's arrangements are often just a quick tour. If you go in the evening, you can also watch an opera or something. How nice is that?"
She smiled and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? OK, I'll contact the travel agency right away."
I reminded her: "You go to the school today to borrow some money. This time we are going to Australia for an academic visit, and the medical school will pay for it. After you borrow the money, pay it to the travel agency first, including our air tickets."
money and convert the remainder into foreign currency.”
She said: "Then I will do it right away."
I said to her apologetically: "I have to arrange my work before going abroad, so I have to ask you to worry about these things."
She smiled and said: "I told you, I am your secretary. Don't worry, we women are the ones who do this kind of thing."
I couldn't help but laugh, "If you are too busy, I can send my secretary over to assist you."
She smiled and asked me: "Is your secretary male or female?"
I smiled and said, "Of course he is a man. Didn't I tell you yesterday? We male government officials are not allowed to have female secretaries. Female officials usually accompany female secretaries."
She smiled and said: "That's right, so as not to be criticized by others. By the way, Mayor Feng, does your secretary-general have to be handsome?"
I laughed and said, "He's quite handsome. But he's still a young man, so don't make any impressions on him."
She said: "Why can't I have an idea for him? Am I single too?"
I was silent for a moment. Then I heard her laughing on the phone, "Mayor Feng, I'm kidding you. How could I like a young kid? But I'm more interested in someone like you.
"
I didn't expect that she would say such a thing. You know, the number of times I have been in contact with her is actually not that many, and the issues we talk about every time we meet are relatively serious and never involve things between men and women.
At this time, she suddenly made such a joke with me on the phone, which really made me unable to adapt for a while. I hurriedly said: "Doctor Guan, please stop making such a joke."
.”
She couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone, "Mayor Feng, I'm sorry, I like to go crazy after getting to know others, don't mind. I am a little excited to think that we are going out together this time, and I am even more hopeful.
We can be more easy-going with each other, otherwise it won’t be fun.”
After hearing what she said, I suddenly felt that I was indeed too sensitive. I thought that after all, she was a person with a Western education, and making such a joke was more in line with her personality. I smiled and said: "Haha! It's okay.
Just take care of the doctor, that's it. I have some things on my hands right now. If you need me to do anything, please call me at any time. You have a lot of things to do soon, so please worry about it."[
She said: "I'll do it right away. I won't say anything anymore. We will be on a plane together for a long time. Let's chat slowly then. I'm out to do errands. I will definitely come to you if I have anything to do."
I felt that she was indeed a little excited, and I couldn’t help but smile bitterly: It wasn’t her first time going abroad, so how could she be so excited?
Then I thought of a possibility: maybe after returning to China, she was not only restricted in behavior, but also in thinking, so she felt a kind of depression in her heart. Now that she is going abroad soon, that kind of desire
The feeling of release was immediately apparent. The conversation between her and Yes yesterday seemed to confirm this.
But I think so. After all, she and I were about to break up after we went out together this time. Then she went to travel and I went to meet Hong Ya, so the two of us were just theoretically traveling together.
After our call ended, I finished processing the last few reports I had, and then called Mayor Wu.
He is the executive deputy mayor. When I am away, he has full authority to handle various affairs of the city government on my behalf, so I must make some important matters clear to him.
In fact, he already knew that I was going abroad soon. I had told him about it a few days ago. After he came in, he smiled and asked me: "Mayor Feng, the time for your departure has been decided. Is it
Bar?"
I smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, first to Guangzhou, and then fly directly to Melbourne. Lao Wu, I'll leave the city government affairs to you while I'm away."
He smiled and said to me: "You have taken care of all the things, why don't you just go out for a few days? It's okay, I will take care of the house, you can go out and do your things happily."
I smiled and said, "Old Wu, I don't worry about other things. What I'm most worried about now are two things. The first is worrying about emergencies. The second is the problem of government finances."
He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about these two things. Emergencies are unpredictable. Even if they really happen, aren't there still Secretary Rong and other members of the Standing Committee? If you are not here, if things get serious
, isn’t it just right to escape? You are not in a private situation. Your going out this time was approved by the leaders of the municipal party committee and the province. It’s okay.”
I thought what he said made sense, so I immediately smiled and said, "That's true. It seems that my nerves have indeed become a little sensitive recently."
He then added: "As for the money issue in government finance, I recently discussed it with Secretary Qian, and I am still going to transfer a sum of money from the account of the industrial park to our financial account first, and pay the interest according to the bank's interest rate. However,
At present, several projects in the industrial park require money to invest, and working capital is also very tight."
I thought for a while and said: "Judging from the current situation, the credibility of the companies in the industrial park is relatively high with banks, because the company's current profitability is relatively good and its repayments are relatively timely. However, government loans are not
More and more, this will put some pressure on the banks. I think in the future, when the government really needs money, it will borrow it from the companies in the industrial park, and then ask Yu Yong and others to loan the money from the bank.
Come out. The only thing we have to do now is to try our best to get the money out of the bank. This is the key. So we just need to change the way we operate."
He said worriedly: "Mayor Feng, I am a little worried now. The government has invested too much in recent years, and the interest on this fund is a terrible figure. Although our government's finances are gradually improving, tax revenue is also improving.
It is increasing rapidly, and there is also huge funds from land sales, but our investment is several times of this revenue, so our fiscal deficit is not small. I often think that if this continues, the government will not be able to
The finances will be bankrupt by then."
I couldn't help laughing, "Old Wu, why are you so confused? In our country, will the government's finances go bankrupt? If the government's finances go bankrupt, the government will also go bankrupt. This kind of system in our country will appear
Is that the case? In our country, what is the government? It’s the political power. You are an old comrade, why can’t you understand such a problem? "
He smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. But the money we borrow always has to be paid back to the bank, right?"
I smiled and said: "Old Wu, why don't you understand? First, does the money in the industrial park belong to our municipal government? As long as they make money, it is equivalent to the municipal government making money. Second, even if it is ours
The investment is too large and future debt repayment will become a problem. So will the higher authorities make our Shangjiang Municipal People's Government bankrupt? It certainly won't be right? Whose money belongs to the bank? It does not belong to the country. We Shangjiang City and the country
It is equivalent to the relationship between a son and me. If my son borrows money from me and cannot repay it, what if I can treat him as his son? Our state-owned enterprises in Shangjiang City owed so many loans to banks in the past few years.
Are the policies issued by the higher authorities cleared? After all, it’s all the country’s money. We don’t use it to divide it among ourselves. We also invest it in local construction. This is actually similar to the special funds of various departments in the province. Whoever has the ability can get more
Take some, if we take more, others will take less. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to borrow as much money as possible from the bank. As long as we take out the money, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.
.Besides, we also try to pay attention to the risks of investment and try to find ways to repay the bank's money. In fact, what we have to do is one thing: do not default on the bank's interest. In this case, whether it is the bank or our government
It’s all easy to talk about. In short, it is the country’s money. If we don’t spend it, others will spend it. But we must try to reduce risks and try to form a virtuous cycle of investment and income. The purpose of our investment is
What? On the one hand, we need to do a good job in construction and invest in people's livelihood. On the other hand, we need to heat up our land and stimulate the development of business. This is a virtuous circle."
He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, that's the truth. I know what you said very well, but I think I should remind you. Obviously, Secretary Rong will not work in our Shangjiang City for a long time.
Mayor Feng, have you noticed? She does things differently from our previous municipal party secretaries in Shangjiang City. On the one hand, her style is very steady, but on the other hand, she also pays great attention to political achievements. Besides, she is also a lesbian
. What our country lacks the most today is female cadres like her, so there should be huge room for her advancement in the future. Mayor Feng, you won’t have a different opinion when I say this, right?"
I looked at him doubtfully, "Old Wu, what exactly do you want to explain?"
He smiled and said: "What I want to express is very simple. If Secretary Rong is transferred by then, then you will definitely be the one to replace her. If we invest too much now, then all the troubles in the future will be solved."
It’s up to you. Mayor Feng, you and I are friends, so I won’t say useless words in front of you, and I don’t want to hide my truest thoughts in front of you. Mayor Feng
, have you ever thought about it? In fact, everything we are doing now is paving the way for Secretary Rong. When she leaves, the mess will be left to you and me. How will we clean up all this?"
What he said was indeed very clear and bold. Of course, he did regard me as a friend, so he said such things in front of me so clearly and boldly. I think his analysis is correct.
I also think that Secretary Rong will leave Shangjiang City soon, because I also feel that her goal is not just her current position as Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.[
In addition, I also heard another meaning in his words: Once Secretary Rong leaves Shangjiang City, it is inevitable that I will take over her position. This is because the leaders in the province usually consider the continuity of their work.
, unless there are special circumstances, generally new top leaders will not be transferred from other places to take charge of the work. Then, when I become the municipal party committee secretary, he will most likely become the mayor.
His analysis makes sense, because he knows that I will help him when the time comes, because of our friendship and his full cooperation with me. Sometimes I have also thought about this question: What if one day I really
If you become the secretary of the municipal party committee, who is the most suitable to be the mayor? There is only one candidate in my mind, and that is the mayor Wu in front of me at this time.
As the secretary of the municipal party committee, what is most needed is the cooperation of an administrative leader who can complete all tasks according to his own intentions. On this point, I am very clear at present, so I will do it to the letter.
To implement Secretary Haorong’s instructions. As for me, I have long realized that among today’s deputy leaders at the municipal level, only Mayor Wu seems to have the same execution ability as me. In other words,
If one day I really become the secretary of the municipal party committee here, in my mind he is the only candidate for mayor.
However, I think what he said just now is not completely correct, and it is also a kind of unfounded worry. Of course, I also seem to understand another intention in his words: maybe he is testing my opinion on the future pattern of Shangjiang City.
s arrangement.
I thought for a while and said: "Old Wu, I don't completely agree with your statement. First, even if Secretary Rong is transferred one day and is promoted to a higher position, even if I can really succeed her,
Then you are likely to take on a higher position. Therefore, what we are doing now is not only paving the way for Secretary Rong, but also paving the way for you and me. Old Wu, you should agree with my statement, right?
"
He smiled and said: "That's true."
In fact, this was my answer to the most important question in his mind. In other words, it was a reassurance for him. Of course, what I said cannot be counted. At most, it was just to express my own attitude. As for
For me, it is also necessary to express my attitude to him, because he has already asked me this question, which shows that he needs my attitude. And we are friends, so I should not avoid such questions.
I continued: "Old Wu, until now, I still don't think there is much problem with our current investment. I have analyzed the economic development status and prospects of our Shangjiang City more than once, and I always think that our current investment
It is still within a safe range, and judging from the current situation, our investment environment is already very good. The price of land in the urban area has tripled from a year ago. The land on Binjiang Road has not yet started to be auctioned, but other
The potential for appreciation has been highlighted. Therefore, although our current investment is a bit large and a bit too fast, we have still controlled the risk within the range we can control. Of course, there is one aspect that must be
It needs to be under control. Lao Wu, in fact, the things I want to talk to you about today also include this issue. In the future, we must form a unified thinking in this regard. This is what we need to do most now."
He asked me: "Which problem are you talking about?"
I looked at him and said to him in a low voice: "The only thing is to control the speed of land transfer. Whether it is urban land or the current planning of new areas, we cannot auction them all at once.
. Land is the only guarantee for the financial security of our municipal government. On the one hand, if we sell out all our land at once, we will have no resources in the future. On the other hand, as our investment environment continues to improve
, With the rapid development of business, our land resources will become more and more valuable, so we can obtain greater benefits by conducting auctions in stages in a planned manner."
He nodded and said: "Mayor Feng, I understand what you mean. In this way, our future risks can be minimized, because we still have more valuable resources on hand."
I smiled and said: "That's it. So Lao Wu, I think your worries are unnecessary. What is the government? It is a first-level political power with abundant resources. Now the central government has proposed sustainable development and the scientific concept of development.
For our local government, in the final analysis, it is about leaving a wealth to our descendants and leaving room for development for our successors. Haha! Maybe my understanding is too one-sided and too superficial.
, but that’s how I understand it.”
He smiled and said: "You can't bring this to the conference, even though that's exactly what you said."
I also laughed, "Isn't this the two of you and I chatting in private?"
He immediately suppressed his smile and said, "Mayor Feng, after hearing you tell me so much today, I no longer have any worries in my heart. Don't worry about going abroad to handle your affairs. I will help you at home.
Well, under normal circumstances I will not disturb your trip abroad this time. And... to be honest, I feel that I am very lucky in my life. I have met many good leaders in the past, and now
I am lucky enough to be your deputy, God is really not kind to me."
I smiled and said to him: "Mayor Wu, we are friends, why are you saying such polite words to me?"
He smiled and said: "Politeness is a must. Mayor Feng, I shouldn't be so polite in front of you, but I am really grateful to you in my heart. Since you arrived in Shangjiang City, I have found that I
Everything has become smoother. According to superstition, each of us will meet the support of a noble person in our life. I think you are the noble person in my life."
I immediately felt that what he said was a bit too much, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I hurriedly said: "Old Wu, stop it. You know who I am. What do you want me to do if you say this?"
How are you doing? You and I are friends first, and colleagues second. We really shouldn’t be so open-minded. Lao Wu, you are older than me. How can you make me feel embarrassed by saying this? Don’t do this again in the future.
, this will compromise the friendship between us."
He said to me apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm too much of a person sometimes. Haha! That's okay, I'll just pay attention to it from now on."
In fact, I felt a little nervous at this time, because I suddenly found that my relationship with him had become a burden. Because I had always regarded him as a friend, that's why I told him
Those inner words before. But now I have become a little worried: if one day there is a conflict between us, then some of the words we have said will become the basis for others to attack me. Therefore, I feel that I am now
What you have to do is to win him over and bring him back into your circle of friends.
Maybe I worry too much, because anyway, he is still a kind person in my heart.
However, I feel that my caution is still very necessary, because he has richer official experience than me, and the only advantage I have over him is my background.
I always believe that the relationship between people is more about interests. Although I also believe that the true love between people exists, such true love is often very fragile in the face of interests. Therefore, keep it in front of him.
Using your own advantages and giving him substantial benefits and hope is the key to maintaining our friendship.
For him, fully cooperating with the work and maintaining my image is the only way for him to get my help. I believe he has already realized this, and he is indeed doing this.
After all, this is a kind of balance.
Balance is really important. Anyone who tries to break a certain balance must be prepared to bear the consequences in advance. Therefore, I believe that the person in front of me will weigh it at any time. He is a clear-headed person.
A human being is a realistic person. I know this very well.
In the afternoon I went to Secretary Rong. I am her deputy, and it is also necessary to report to her before going abroad.
Secretary Rong didn't say much, "Mayor Feng, I believe you have already talked to Mayor Wu. There will be no problem if he is here during your absence. But I still hope that you can come back as soon as possible. Our work a year ago was too great."
Many, and for your current situation, it is better to show off when you should show off. This is also a necessity. During the Spring Festival, I have arranged several tasks, including visiting the poor and asking about their suffering, condolences to veteran cadres, and visiting corporate employees.
, discussions with representatives of foreign companies, etc. It is best for you to participate in these activities with me, and the provincial and municipal media will follow up and report on them."
I nodded, "Thank you, Secretary Rong, for making such thoughtful arrangements. I will try my best to come back as soon as possible."
Now, I finally finished all the things I had done before leaving. At this time, I suddenly felt excited in my heart. Now I had to call Hong Ya immediately.
However, I suddenly thought that it would be better to wait, because I suddenly felt that something was missing. Immediately, I sent a text message to Guanqin: Please send our itinerary to my mobile phone.
But I deleted the text message just after I edited it. I found that my excitement made me trivial. I immediately called Guan Qin and said, "Dr. Guan, please send me the time and flight of our arrival in Melbourne.
On the phone. Thank you!”
She replied: "Mayor Feng, it's not possible right now because I haven't gotten the specific schedule from the travel agency. I'll get it as soon as possible and send it to you."
Later, she sent me a text message just after eight o'clock in the evening. When I received the text message, I was having dinner with the heads of several banks in Shangjiang City, and Mayor Wu was also there.
Now I have changed some of my previous ways of doing things, because I think what Lin Yu said is right. A leader cannot be too far away from the people below, otherwise it will be regarded as arrogant by others. And the relationship in the bank
It is very important for our next development of Shangjiang City, and we need their strong support.
Banks are directly managed departments, and their human relations are not under local management. Although the superiors of municipal banks require them to cooperate with local construction to provide financial support, banks need to focus on efficiency after all, and they need to avoid risks, so I
The mayor had to condescend to drink with them and build a good relationship with them. Of course, the government also played a huge supporting role in them. After all, the risks of the government's projects were as much as the profits.
At the wine table, I toasted each of the bank presidents with a glass of wine and introduced the key projects in the city next year. My purpose was simple, that is, I hope they can give more support to the government's work.
Their statements are very good. Of course, I know in my heart that if the government really wants a loan, it will still have to provide them with complete information. However, the bank itself belongs to the state, so the government’s loan projects are often
It won't be so strict, I think operational factors account for a large part.
After dinner, I called several deputy mayors to inquire about the progress of their key tasks. When I called Mayor Zhu, I mainly asked about the progress of the design of the Municipal People's Hospital.
As well as the progress of the medical university sanatorium project. She replied that the progress of these two projects is relatively smooth at present. Then I asked her about the progress of the cooperation project between the city's No. 1 Middle School and the provincial key middle schools.
Later, this project was not approved by me. It was Mayor Zhu who took people from the Municipal Education Commission to coordinate with the Provincial Education Commission. Later, a key middle school directly under the Provincial Education Commission agreed to co-organize a high school department with us. This matter was done beautifully.
After hearing the news, we people in Shangjiang City praised the city government for doing a great thing for the people.
Since there has always been a huge bottleneck in high school education in Shangjiang City, many students go to key high schools in provincial capitals after graduating from junior high school. The bottleneck of high school education is a common problem in every place. This is the case in provincial capitals.
The key high schools there are under tremendous pressure. Even after they opened branch schools, they still cannot meet the enrollment requirements of students from various counties and cities every year. Even though the sponsorship fee is nearly 50,000 yuan per student, it still cannot stop the parents of the students from dreaming of their children becoming successful.
I remember that when I was the director of provincial admissions, a friend once asked me to help him get a target for his child to attend a key middle school. In fact, I had a very good relationship with the principal of that school. Later, the principal also
As a sign of respect for me, he gave me a place in their branch school, but the sponsorship fee was not reduced at all. At that time, the principal said to me: "Director Feng, there is nothing we can do. Our school headquarters must meet the annual requirements.
As for the joint admissions students, all the students who have not passed the joint admissions admissions can only go to the branch school to study. Originally, I should have exempted part of the sponsorship fee for your sake, but there are too many people who come to me every year, and we can’t.
How dare you open this hole?"
I didn't say anything at that time, and I couldn't help but thank him. I knew he was telling the truth. Every year they face many headaches when enrolling students. This is actually caused by the bottleneck of high school education in various counties and cities.
Later, the principal even treated me to a meal. At the dinner table, he kept apologizing to me and asking me to understand. In fact, I knew that he had already given me a lot of face, because as a middle school principal,
, they don’t dare to offend me, the provincial admissions director. After all, the admission rate to the university that is most valued by high schools, especially the proportion of candidates admitted to key universities, will directly determine the degree to which this school is valued.
At that time, I kept saying "I understand" and also made a joke with the principal, "How can your school spend so much money every year?"
The principal smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Yes, we collect tens of millions a year, but we dare not use this money to pay bonuses. Instead, it becomes a burden."
We laughed then.
In fact, I know that part of the money they collect is turned over to the Provincial Education Commission, and it costs a lot to build a branch school. They also consider the welfare of teachers, but as the principal said, they really don’t dare to give it to teachers.
We send too much because it does not comply with relevant regulations.
It was precisely because of this that I thought of cooperating with a middle school in the province to establish a high school department. They were famous, and fame was the source of students. In addition, they were also very rich.
The biggest benefit to the local area is that it is no longer difficult for most local junior high school graduates to enter high school, and they do not need to pay so much sponsorship fees.
Therefore, I was very happy when I heard the news from Mayor Zhu that this matter was going smoothly. However, I still gave a few instructions, asking her to pay attention to coordinating all aspects of this matter and not to make any mistakes.
The problem.
She agreed repeatedly.
In fact, I feel quite reassured about her work. Although she is less innovative in her work, she is very serious and careful about the work she is doing. She is a lesbian, and her characteristics are carefulness and patience.
I carefully considered the matter that Lin Yi assigned to me, and finally decided to wait until I came back from abroad.
After calling each deputy mayor, I went to take a shower, and then started calling Hong Ya. At this time, my heart was already in a state of calm after excitement. After calling several deputy mayors
When I was on the phone for a long time, I was thinking: I must take a shower before calling Hong Ya, because I think this is a kind of respect for her. Even if she doesn't know, even if she can't see me.
The call went through, but she didn't say anything.
I asked softly: "Is it Hong Ya?"
Finally, I heard her voice, "Yeah."
Her voice was right next to my ear, but I suddenly felt that her voice was so unfamiliar, so I couldn't help but ask her again, softly, "Are you really Hong Ya?"
Her voice became heavier, "Well, I am Feng Xiao..."
My mood suddenly became excited at this moment, "Hong Ya, this is Feng Xiao. I have already bought the ticket and will leave the day after tomorrow. We can meet soon."
Her voice was choked, "I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago."
I hurriedly said: "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
She said: "If I don't call Sister Lin, you will never think of me. Right?"
I hurriedly said: "No. I don't know your phone number. I left you a message on QQ, but you are not online."
She said: "I rarely go to QQ, because I found that you rarely go on QQ either."
I said, "Yes. But you can send me an email."
She asked me: "Then why didn't you send me an email?"
It wasn't until she said this sentence that I suddenly realized: She had a kind of dissatisfaction, or resentment, towards me in her heart.
I hurriedly said: "Hong Ya, it's my fault, I apologize to you now. Let's not talk more on the phone. Let's talk slowly after we meet, okay?"
She said: "...Okay. Feng Xiao, let me ask you, if I tell you now, what I am thinking about now is that I really want to slap you. Then, will you still come?"
I immediately shouted, "Why?"
She said: "Don't you deserve to be slapped by me? I cried many times for you, but what about you? Have you ever felt the emotion I have for you?"
I couldn't help but feel extremely guilty, and at the same time I was moved, "Hong Ya, just hit me. Just slap me when I arrive. If you slap me, I will come to see you."
Her crying voice came from the phone immediately, "Feng Xiao, how can I be willing to beat you?"
My heart was even more moved, and my guilt became even stronger. Only then did I realize that I actually had her in my heart. And at this moment, her appearance, and the relationship she had with me
Everything we were together appeared in my mind. Those scenes seemed like just yesterday, and she seemed to be very close to me at this time.
I tried my best to suppress the excitement in my heart, and tried my best to make my tone calm and warm. I whispered to her: "Hongya, we are going to meet soon, and I want to meet her too."
Yours, I even want to see you right away. It’s too late now, you should go to bed early, I will send you my arrival flight and time via text message later.”
She immediately laughed, her laughter still tinged with tears, "Are you stupid? My place is three hours earlier than your place."
Only then did I realize, "Yes, we have a jet lag. Huh? Why is it only three hours?"
She continued to laugh, and there was no trace of crying in her laughter, "Do you think I am in England or the United States?"
I also laughed and said, "I'm wrong. I always feel that the difference between foreign countries and us is more than ten hours. Our longitudes are not much different. By the way, Hong Ya, why did you end up in Australia?"
She said: "I am working on a project here, an investment project. You can take a look when you get to my place."
I said: "Okay. If possible, I will also invest some money in you."
She asked me: "Are you safe leaving your money with me?"
I said without hesitation: "What are you worried about? But I don't have much money, so don't be dissatisfied."
She smiled and said: "You have more money and I don't want it. Is it because you have less money that you invest? We Chinese people must learn to make foreigners' money. We always make money from our own people."
What’s the strength?”
I laughed, "Okay. I agree with your view."
She said: "I won't talk to you anymore. Let's talk about it after we meet. I have been using this mobile phone for a long time and it is not good for my health. Now I feel some pain in my ears."
There was a coquettishness in her voice, just like the way she used to be in front of me. A tenderness suddenly rose in my heart, "Okay, let's talk about it after we meet. We can meet soon. I will meet you tomorrow."
It took off from Guangzhou Airport at 11:50 pm and arrived at 11:30 am the day after tomorrow.”
She said: "I know. There is only one flight from Guangzhou Airport to Melbourne every day, and it takes a total of nine hours and 40 minutes."
I was stunned for a moment: How could she remember it so clearly? Did she return to China recently?
But before I had time to ask, she was already saying goodbye to me, "I'm going to take a bath, see you the day after tomorrow."
I had no choice but to say to her, "See you the day after tomorrow."
Her voice disappeared on the phone, but the lingering sound of her voice still remained in my ears.
