Chapter nine

I didn't expect that my relationship with Ruan Zhenzhen would end in this way. In fact, I have also thought about this problem, and I already had a premonition in my heart that Ruan Zhenzhen would leave the restaurant sooner or later and cut off contact with me. Because at that time, I felt that Ruan Zhenzhen's only purpose was

for money.

Also, I had given up hope on the restaurant’s profits. But I didn’t expect that she would take away all the working capital of my restaurant. I don’t know if what she told me was true, but one thing is that she is smart.

Yes, that is, she told me her thoughts in advance. On the one hand, she knew that I was trying to avoid the situation, and on the other hand, in order to protect herself, she prevented me from reporting the crime.

In other words, she did this out of fear. Just like that, all my more than one million yuan fell into her pocket. At this time, I suddenly felt angry. This was not a question of money, but of her.

Treat me as a fool.

But I suddenly remembered the tearful look in her eyes when she left... I could feel that she shouldn't have been pretending. Could it be that everything she told me was true?

Forget it, money, you don’t take it with you when you live or die, forget it, it doesn’t matter if she leaves. Anyway, it’s a matter of time. Fortunately, I bought the house there at that time. Now the increase in the value of the assets caused by the rise in housing prices is more than that.

More than one million.

But the question now is, who should I find to manage this restaurant for me?

It's okay to rent it out, but who should I find to rent it at this moment? Even advertising will take time, not to mention negotiating the price, signing a contract and so on.

Forget it, let’s talk about it, it’s almost time now, I have to go to Secretary Tang’s house right away.[

Secretary Tang lives in a high-rise building in a community not far from the Provincial Party Committee Office Building. It was less than five o'clock when I arrived outside his house. I had already made up my mind, met with him, and gave him something.

Just leave immediately.

I used a beautiful gift bag to put the gift I bought for him, and inside it was the red envelope that I had planned to give to Kang Demao's parents.

Thinking of Kang Demao, I felt depressed again. In the past, I only felt the gap between us, but I never thought that the gap would become bigger and bigger. Maybe it has always been like this, but it was just today that I was

I just discovered it.

It should be like this. Although he has forgiven me for what happened in the past, after all, my position is more important than his now, so the jealousy in his heart cannot be calmed down. Or maybe it is the superiority I showed in front of him that made him

The jealousy is uncontrollable.

I remember a philosopher said this:

I think jealousy is largely caused by childhood misfortune.

A child develops the habit of jealousy when he discovers that his brothers and sisters are favored in front of him. When he enters society, he searches for injustices that have harmed him. If there is any, he will find it immediately; if not, he will use

Create through imagination. Such a person is obviously unhappy. He believes that no one likes him from the beginning, and finally his actions turn his belief into fact.

Another childhood misfortune that can have the same consequences is having unloving parents.

There are several kinds of happiness that are a person's natural rights. If they are deprived of them, they will become surly and resentful.

Finally, the philosopher said: Thinking with the concept of "comparison" is a habit that can lead to death.

The philosopher's words are very classic, but I think Kang Demao's problem was formed when he was in high school. At that time, he was particularly discriminated against by our class teacher, which made his inferiority complex reach the extreme, but that's not it.

It became the biggest motivation for his subsequent struggle. To this day, he is still fiercely and carefully maintaining his inner self-esteem.

But I have hurt him before. This is the source of the estrangement between him and me.

Let him do whatever he wants. After all, I was also at fault in this matter. My fault was that I should not have hurt him before, and my fault was that I should not have unintentionally shown that sense of superiority in front of him later.

I sighed in my heart, forget it, when has this been? Do you still think about this? I started knocking on the door.

The door opened, and what appeared in front of me was Secretary Tang. Seeing that it was me, he hurriedly and enthusiastically invited me into the room. He was dressed very casually, which was completely different from his usual suits and ties. His hair was jet black, even in

I also have my hair combed smoothly at home.[

I handed the thing in my hand to him, "Tang Mi, happy Spring Festival."

He took it and kept saying thank you.

At this time, I found that his home was very lively. The elderly on both sides of the family were there, as well as his children. The family was chatting happily. I smiled and said hello to them, feeling full of envy in my heart.

Secretary Tang introduced me to his family, "This is Mayor Feng of Shangjiang City. I'll go inside with him to talk about something."

Tang Mi’s family all nodded to me politely. I was thinking to myself, after all, they are family members of the Provincial Party Committee. They have seen a lot of the world, and they are not as frightened as ordinary people when they see me. I estimate that when I go to his house on weekdays,

There should not be too few leaders of a certain level coming.

Secretary Tang invited me into the study room of his home. His home is very well decorated. Houses in this area are not cheap. Including decoration, I estimate that his house will cost nearly one million. I was thinking, with his

With my age and seniority, it is impossible to live off my salary alone. Of course, it is impossible for me to ask people such questions. Everyone has their own way, and such questions are considered private.

After we sat down, his wife brought us a pot of tea. His wife looked ordinary and was not tall, but she looked like a very virtuous woman. I thanked her and she said a kind word to me.

Then he left immediately.

I said enviously: "Secretary Tang, I'm so envious seeing how lively your house is."

He smiled and said: "Isn't that the case? Oh, I'm sorry, Mayor Feng, I know you are still single and your father passed away not long ago. You, find a woman to marry as soon as possible. Don't be so demanding. Live at home and find a woman.

Just a virtuous woman."

I smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that Secretary Tang knows my situation better. I have been married twice, how can I dare to get married easily?"

He sighed: "That's right. Mayor Feng, thank you for coming to wish me New Year's greetings. I really don't dare to be a leader. You are a leader. How can a leader give New Year's greetings to his subordinates?"

I smiled and said: "You are the leader, who are the subordinates? In fact, I should have come a long time ago, mainly because the city arranged a lot of activities during the Spring Festival, so there was no rest even on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Sorry."

He nodded and smiled: "I know, your Secretary Rong is very serious and courageous in her work, and the tasks given to you in Shangjiang City by the province are so heavy, of course she will not dare to slack off. Your work in Shangjiang City

You did a good job, Secretary Fang praised you that night."

This man's words are really impeccable and very measured. I know in my heart that it will be difficult if I try to learn more from him. But I have only one purpose for coming here today, and I can feel it,

He was just chatting with me casually.

I smiled and said, "Yes. Our tasks this year will be even more important. It can be said that after this year, our urban construction in Shangjiang City has begun to take shape. But we are also under great pressure.

, the main issue is funding. In addition to attracting investment, city construction also requires large-scale early investment from the government. Only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed."

He smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, you are so capable, and you have such a municipal party secretary with such a high level of leadership, it will be no problem."

In this way, we chatted for about ten minutes. I looked at the time and then said to him with a smile: "Secretary Tang, thank you for giving me such an opportunity today. I have a social event in the evening, so I will go first

I’m back. Once again, I wish your family a happy Spring Festival.”

He looked at me and said with a smile: "Mayor Feng, do you really have a party tonight? Why don't you just have dinner at my house. Anyway, it's a common meal at home, so we can have some drinks together."

Of course I knew that this was just a courtesy request. I smiled and said, "I really have a social event. I'll treat you to a drink another day. I hope you can give me such an opportunity again."

He waved his hand at me and said: "Mayor Feng, please don't say that, it really offends me. Mayor Feng, you also know that my time does not belong to me at all. Let's find opportunities to talk about it in the future."

"

I smiled and said, "That's okay."

Then I walked out of the study with him, and then said hello to his family. His wife said to me: "Mayor Feng, please stay for dinner. It's already time to eat."

I hurriedly said: "I have a social event tonight. I will definitely come and bother you if I have the chance."

Secretary Tang personally walked me to his door, and I said goodbye to him.

Originally, I had no plans to ask him about that matter today. It was just a courtesy visit. I had only one purpose, that is, when I mentioned to him that I wanted to report to Secretary Fang in two days, he would not fool me.

.

This person is quite calm. When talking to me, he always keeps the topic superficial and never reveals any information to me that I don't know. I can predict that this person will have a very good future. As a provincial

He must do this for the people around him, and this is also the best way for him to seize his opportunities. And this can also show that Fang is very discerning.

This is for sure. The requirements of the provincial party committee are of course different. And as a provincial party committee, of course he has to be cautious in everything.

I also felt that as a secretary, he had developed a sense of superiority in his consciousness. After all, there were many people who asked him to do things on weekdays. Even in front of me, although his words were extremely polite, but that

I can still easily feel this feeling of superiority. It is precisely because of this that I deliberately welcome and please him in front of him.

After coming out of Secretary Tang's home, I suddenly felt desolate. The warmth I felt in his home just now deeply affected me, but at this time, I didn't know where I should go.

During this Chinese New Year day, I stayed alone in this city. My mother and children had gone back to their hometown, but I suddenly found that I had nowhere to go.

Should I go home alone and make some noodles?

On days like this, unless someone takes the initiative to call me, it is not convenient for me to disturb others.

After going downstairs, I sat in the car. My eyes were blank, and the desolation in my heart quickly enveloped my whole body and penetrated deep into my soul.

Suddenly I remembered a person, and I was overjoyed. I hurriedly took out my phone and called him, "Old director, are you at home? I'm here to wish you a happy new year."

The old director smiled and said: "Do you still have time to think of me? Okay, come on, let's drink together."

The haze in my heart was immediately dispelled, and I drove quickly towards the old director's house.

The cigarettes and alcohol in the car were all ready-made. Before going upstairs, I picked up two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Soft China. Soon I arrived at the door of his house and knocked on the door.

"Are you here?" Chenchen was in front of me, she asked me with a smile.

"Have you been here during the Spring Festival?" I asked her in surprise.

She answered me: "Yes. The schools are on holiday and the students have gone home. My music bar has to be closed. Mayor Feng, please come in and sit down."

When I went in, I found no trace of the old director, and the old lady was not there either. I was suddenly surprised, "Where is the old director? I just called him earlier? Didn't he say he was at home?"

She smiled and answered me: "They heard that you were coming and went out to buy groceries."

I smiled and said, "What kind of food should I buy? Just eat whatever you want during the Spring Festival." At this point, I suddenly realized that the old director left deliberately. It was obvious that he wanted to leave Chenchen and I alone.

space. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly in my heart.

But since I'm already here, I have to talk to Chenchen for a while first. After I sat down, I asked her: "I've never been able to ask you, how much money can your music bar make in a year?

Haha! Don't mind it, maybe my question is a bit vulgar, but after all, you rely on this for a living, so I just ask you out of concern."

She nodded slightly, "Thank you. In the past, I just liked music and could support myself at the same time. This was my only thought at the time. But now I have changed my original thoughts because I feel tired.

.I think I told you about this last time."

I nodded, "Yeah."

She continued: "Now I have an idea, which is to make money and travel around the world. Go to the Golden Hall in Austria, the Sydney Opera House, Paris, and the Metropolitan Opera House in the United States. In short, I just want to enjoy music from all over the world.

The birthplace of various places. My own singing qualifications are very average, but I can appreciate it if I go there. I like music, it can sublimate my soul."

I smiled and said, "You will get at least one million yuan for this trip. You need to buy tickets to go to the Vienna Golden Hall, the Sydney Opera House, the Metropolitan Museum of America, etc."

She also laughed, "Yes. Earn it slowly."

I said, "I think our country still has very good music. In the past, "Liu Sanjie", "Five Golden Flowers" and so on, the music in them was good. In fact, it was also excavated from folk music.

.right?"

She smiled and said: "That's right. But I prefer classic foreign operas."

I shook my head and said: "Actually, whether a classic is a classic or not, that's just a matter of understanding. Haha! I'm just talking about this issue casually and taking it for granted? I think you can use the free time of students during winter and summer vacations now.

Go to some places in the country and maybe you can get a feel for it."

She smiled and said: "This is a good idea. It seems that we can't stay at home now. If we stay at home any longer, we really don't want to go out."

I also laughed, "Yeah. You are so young, you should go out more. Making money is not the ultimate goal, enjoying life is."

She immediately laughed and said, "You really look like a philosopher today."

I hurriedly said: "I'm not a philosopher, I'm talking about my truest thoughts. What the philosopher's words actually say is the most common truth in our lives."

She kept laughing, "Oh! Your words are more like a philosopher."

I waved my hand at her and said with a smile: "Don't say that, why do I think you are mocking me?"

She said hurriedly: "No. Don't worry too much."

I laughed "haha", "I won't worry too much. Aren't we just joking?"

She then asked me: "Mayor Feng, how did you spend this Spring Festival? There must be a lot of people coming to pay you New Year's greetings, right?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "You're wrong. I don't really like my subordinates coming to wish me New Year greetings. It's not that I'm pretending to be noble, but I really don't like it. My subordinates come to my house and give me things and red envelopes.

They are also troublesome. You said this is a New Year holiday, should I reject it or accept it? If you reject it, you will offend others. If you accept it, you will be short-handed. Maybe some troubles will come to your door in the future."

She smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you, the mayor, are really honest. But it's true, you don't lack those things, so there is no need to make that kind of mistake."

I shook my head and said: "This is not actually a mistake. Everyone does this during the New Year and holidays. The main reason is that I don't like that. But this makes me feel like a loner, for example today.

, I was alone at home and didn’t have a place to eat, so I called my old director to get some food.”

She looked at me in surprise, "No way? You are the mayor, how can you not have a place to eat? By the way, where is your family?"

I briefly told her my plans for the Spring Festival, and then sighed and said: "Now I realize that I don't even have a close friend. But fortunately, I have the old director, otherwise I would have really lost my mind today."

I don’t know where I should go. So, this is all something I did on my own. If I often went to interact with people below or with colleagues, how could it be like this? But I really don’t like to go there too much.

I don’t want to date people, because I have to drink when I’m dating. After drinking, I wake up with a headache and stomachache. I just feel bored. When I have nothing to do, how good is it to read a book and take a rest? Haha! Look at what I’m doing today.

What's wrong? Why have you become nagging like an old lady?"

She looked at me, and something familiar in her eyes suddenly enveloped my eyes. I quickly looked away. Her face immediately turned red, and then she coughed twice, and then she whispered softly.

He said to me: "Mayor Feng, I never thought that you, the mayor, would be lonely just like us ordinary people."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I am an ordinary person. Now I am the mayor. If the organization does not allow me to be the mayor, then I will be nothing."

She nodded, "Then, if that happens, will you go back to be your doctor?"

I shook my head and said, "I guess I can't be a professional by then. I've lost my profession for too long, and it's not that easy to pick it up again. The technology will be stale, the knowledge will not be updated, and the experience will be lost too."

It becomes gone.”

She sighed: "Then why do you have to be this official?"

I suddenly felt that her question was a bit childish, and I couldn't help but laugh, "It's not that I have to be this official, it's fate that brought me to this point. Just like you, you really liked music at the beginning, so you started doing music."

. Later, the three of you separated, and then you opened the new one now. At that time, the three of you didn’t think that you would separate at the beginning, right? You didn’t think of that person...

Doudou, will you die a violent death? What is this? This is fate. Also, now that you feel tired, in fact you are not tired, but you have a higher dream, which is also fate. Destiny will follow you.

It develops in an unpredictable direction and leaves you unable to resist."

She said softly: "What you said is so good."

I found that I talked a lot today, and I also wanted to talk. Maybe this is because my loneliness and isolation need to be vented. I continued: "But fate is not terrible, just let it take its course. Since we

The future is unknown and unpredictable, so just let nature take its course. If the road ahead is smooth sailing, then we can enjoy that life to the fullest. If the road ahead is extremely bumpy, then we can only

Face it calmly and laugh it off. Because many things will always be in front of us, and that is reality, a reality that cannot be changed, because our lives and our past cannot be repeated."

She was silent, looking at the coffee table in front of her with an indifferent expression.

The old director once told me about her situation. Now, I think it is a rare opportunity to enlighten her. So I continued: "Xiaochen, maybe there are some things I shouldn't say, but I feel that I should

Tell me, after all, I am a person who has experienced the death of my relatives several times. In fact, from the moment we are born, each of us faces the threat of death every moment. Each of us will die.

, sooner or later. My first wife killed someone and later committed suicide in a detention center. My second wife fell into a coma when giving birth and became a vegetative state. She never woke up again until she finally died.

.My father chose to commit suicide because of liver cancer. He was once such a strong person, but he could not withstand the torture of the disease, so he chose that way. Of course, these things are a heavy blow to me, but we

But we must face it and endure it. Because we living people have to continue to live. Each of us coming to this world is a miracle, so we must cherish our lives and take good care of our lives.

After a lifetime is over, we can live happily every day, which is the best comfort for our deceased relatives. Do you think so, Xiaochen?"

At this time, I saw that she had shed tears. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

I took out a handkerchief from my body and handed it to her, "Here. Don't cry. I'm most afraid of seeing girls cry. It's the Chinese New Year now. It's not good to cry. The superstitious saying is that if you cry now, you will do it often this year.

Crying."

She smiled brightly, took the handkerchief from my hand and wiped her tears, then handed the handkerchief back to me, and smiled at the same time, "I never thought you would bring something like this."

I smiled and said, "I'm used to it. I've had the habit of carrying handkerchiefs since I was in college. Because I think handkerchiefs are more hygienic than paper towels. Paper towels may look clean, but in fact there are many bacteria inside."

She chuckled, "I thought you used this thing to wipe away girls' tears... I'm sorry, I was joking. Mayor Feng, thank you, thank you for talking to me just now."

Those things you said."

I said nonchalantly: "I didn't fall in love when I was in college, and I didn't fall in love when I was a graduate student. Actually, the reason I used handkerchiefs at first was because I had rhinitis at the time..."

She kept laughing, "Oh! You're so disgusting. Have you ever wiped your nose with this handkerchief?"

I laughed immediately, "No. Do you think I still have rhinitis? Habits come naturally. From then on, I became accustomed to carrying handkerchiefs with me at all times. And I also like to buy handkerchiefs, even used handkerchiefs.

Go and clean it yourself."

She said: "Some people say that most of you doctors have mysophobia. I think you have it too."

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'm not a mysophobic person."

As she was talking, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. She stood up quickly and said, "They are back."

Sure enough, when she opened the door, the old director and his wife appeared at the door, holding groceries in their hands. I hurriedly smiled and said to them, "Why are you going to buy groceries? What a hassle.

Just eat whatever you want."

The old director smiled and said: "I thought that during this period you will eat a lot of fish and meat every day, so I went to buy some fresh vegetables to remove the greasy food for you."

I smiled and said, "No, I don't like meat."

They all laugh.

The old lady said to me: "Xiao Feng, thank you for the scarves you gave us. The gift is too expensive and you are too kind."

I shook my head and said, "Little thing, it's disrespectful, so please don't talk about it again."

The old director smiled and said: "Yes, don't say it. Xiao Feng is not an outsider. If you talk about it, you will get angry. Xiao Feng, I didn't expect that you would be free to come and drink with me today."

I smiled bitterly and said, "I was telling Xiaochen just now. Today I have placed my order and have no place to eat, so I came to your house to get some food."

He looked at me in surprise, "Where are your family members?"

I just remembered that I hadn’t answered Chenchen’s question just now, “My mother went back to her hometown with her children. Aren’t I too busy during the Spring Festival? I stayed in the city every day the past few days. My mother felt uncomfortable staying at home.

So I took my children back to my hometown. But today, after I finished my errands, I suddenly thought that I had no place to eat, and I didn’t want to eat out alone. I felt depressed and panicked, so I called you.”

Chenchen asked me: "You don't even take a break during the Spring Festival?"

I laughed and said, "It's just a show. When you watch TV, aren't the leaders paying New Year greetings to the people below? This is the image of a public servant of the people."

The old director laughed and said, "Xiao Feng, it's okay to say things like this here, but don't say it casually outside. You are the mayor, so the meaning of what you say will be different."

I smiled and said, "That's for sure."

The old lady quickly brought the dishes to the table. She had already cooked and cut sausages, bacon and other dishes. She smiled and said to us: "You guys eat first, I will make two vegetarian dishes."

I was not polite, and immediately went to open a bottle of the wine I brought, "Old director, let's drink this."

He shook his head and sighed: "This is already good wine. Hey! I remember that I once went for this..."

I interrupted him hastily, "Old director, today is the Chinese New Year, let's not talk about those unhappy things in the past. Okay?"

Chenchen said from the side: "That's right."

I filled the old director's glass with wine, and then asked Chenchen, "Would you like to drink some?"

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'll drink some too, it's Chinese New Year today."

While I was pouring the cup for her, I said, "You can see for yourself. If it's suitable, ask me to stop pouring."

She smiled and said: "Half a cup."

Then I filled it up for myself. At this time, the old director raised his glass and said to me: "Xiao Feng, I am very happy that you can think of coming to my place for a drink today. Come, I wish you a happy Spring Festival and good luck in the new year."

Everything went well.”

I went to clink glasses with him and Chenchen, "I also wish you a happy Spring Festival, good health, and everything goes well."

We drank a small sip together and started eating. The old director asked me: "How long have you been going to Shangjiang? Why do I feel that you have been going for a long time?"

I smiled and said, "It's not long, close to two years. I think it's pretty fast."

He nodded and said: "You young people are so powerful now. For example, you became the mayor at such a young age, at the department level. If this was done before us, we would have never imagined it."

I smiled and said, "I am still the acting mayor now, and the formal election will not be until the National People's Congress in the next year. In fact, I am nothing, right? There are many department-level cadres of my age now."

He shook his head and said: "Definitely not much. But to be honest, you are a very capable person and very kind, so there is a reason why you can become the mayor. Haha! The National People's Congress election is just a procedure.

It's only a matter of time before you change your ways."

I went to toast him and Chenchen. After taking a sip, I said, "It's hard to say. If something goes wrong now, it will also go wrong during the election."

The old director smiled and said: "It depends on what kind of problem it is. If the problem is big, you will be removed even if you are elected. I don't know about you yet? You are so cautious in doing things, there will definitely be no problems.

"

I smiled bitterly and said: "Some things are hard to say. Now there is a very unstable factor hidden in our Shangjiang City. Many of our laid-off workers, as well as citizens and cadres have participated in fund-raising. Now I am most worried

What is wrong is that there is a problem with this matter. Once this fund-raising company suffers from a funding shortage, the problem will be troublesome. This matter has made me very anxious in the past few days, and it is not my responsibility to care about it."

At this time, the old lady brought out a bowl of tofu and spinach soup. After hearing what I said, she hurriedly said: "Xiao Feng, are you talking about fund-raising? The kind with high interest rates, right?"

?”

I said: "Yes." Then I looked at her and said, "Did you also go to raise funds?"

She replied: "Yes. I put 80,000 yuan in that company. I thought that the interest there was higher than that of the bank, and they were returning interest every month."

I asked her hurriedly: "Have they returned interest to you in the past two months?"

She shook her head and said: "No, but I was told that the finances are very busy during the Spring Festival, so we have to wait until after the Spring Festival to settle the accounts."

I said: "Auntie, I suggest you to find a way to withdraw your money immediately, without paying the interest of the past two months. But don't tell anyone else about this, remember."

The old director asked me: "Why?"

I said: "Old director, think about it, if they pay you such a high interest, it means that the money they earn with the money they raised must be higher than that interest, right? Then think about it, what is it like now?

How can an investment achieve such high profits? This is obviously a scam."

The old director shook his head and said: "But they really returned the interest every month. How could this be a scam?"

I said: "This is a trick of tearing down one wall to make up for the other. Think about it, they return you interest, and then they win a reputation. You may save more money, and at the same time they will promote this kind of thing."

With the benefits of investment, more people will put their money in. The company's funds will snowball and grow bigger and bigger. But they have to pay high interest, so it is inevitable that their capital chain will break.

Things will happen sooner or later. Now they are delaying the payment of interest, which means that their capital chain has begun to have problems. If you don't withdraw your principal at this time, I'm afraid you will

All your money will be returned.”

The old director nodded, "That makes sense. But Xiao Feng, if that's the case, why don't you just ignore it?"

I shook my head and said: "This matter is too complicated. Anyway, you must listen to me and withdraw the money immediately. By the way, be sure not to tell others, because once this matter is spread, it will

If a large-scale run occurs, the company's capital chain will quickly break, which will be disastrous for ordinary people."

Chenchen asked me: "Are you just going to sit back and do nothing?"

I shook my head and said: "It must be taken care of, but the person in charge of this matter is not me, but a higher-level leader. Now we must stabilize this company temporarily so that we can minimize the losses.

Old director, you must listen to me. You know that I am relatively experienced in investment. Such things are completely against the laws of economics and will not last long. Once those people discover the funds,

If there is a problem with the chain, donations will definitely abscond. Of course, we will try to solve this problem as early as possible to prevent the people from suffering too much loss. However, this is a matter that is beyond my control after all, so I will not control the situation in the future.

Unpredictable.”

The old director nodded and said: "I understand. In this way, I will withdraw the money as soon as the company comes to work."

Chenchen smiled and said: "Fortunately, I didn't deposit the money. My aunt asked me to deposit the money, but I didn't agree. Although I don't understand this, I always feel that this pie-in-the-sky thing happened too strangely."

I smiled and said, "You are right to think so. The same is true for everything. As long as it is too weird, there will definitely be problems. You see, those who deceive people first use benefits to seduce the fool, so that the fool can really

I thought it was pie in the sky. Therefore, people like Xiaochen are the least likely to be deceived, because she can keep her head clear at all times."

Xiaochen immediately raised a glass to me and said: "Thank you for your praise. This is the best gift I received during the Spring Festival this year."

I apologized and said to her: "Xiaochen, I really didn't expect you to be here, so I didn't prepare a gift for you. My car is full of cigarettes and alcohol, and you don't like it. I'm sorry."

She smiled and said: "Didn't you already give me a gift? Scarf, I have to thank you."

I was a little embarrassed, "How can that thing be counted? It was a gift I brought back from abroad."

The old director said: "This matter is easy to handle. After dinner, you can invite Xiaochen to watch a movie."

Chenchen's face suddenly turned red, "Uncle, what did you say?"

I was also a little uncomfortable, "Well... I have to go back and prepare after eating. Maybe I have to report to the secretary of the provincial party committee tomorrow."

I nodded, "I can't control it. But there are people who can, such as our provincial party committee secretary."

She looked at me, and I once again felt the familiar look in her eyes, "You are going to report this matter to him tomorrow, right?"

I nodded.

She said softly: "I knew you were a socially responsible person."

At this moment, my mood suddenly became better, because I suddenly felt that her evaluation of me was better than anything else. At this time, the haze in my heart was completely dispelled...
