Shen Tong suffered from insomnia. He hadn't heard this voice for a long time, and the past memories suddenly came to him. He had imagined the scene when he met or talked with Xu Xia countless times, but he never expected that it would happen so suddenly and so dramatically.
It is really difficult to forget someone, let alone a former lover. There is no emotional barrier between them, but they have built an insurmountable iron wall. In the face of reality, they are powerless, and all kinds of feelings seem so weak, so Haggard, destined to be impossible to get together.
In Shen Tong's recollection, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a strange number, but he had a clear understanding and determined that the strange number must be Xu Xia's. He hesitated with trembling hands, and finally pressed the button without hesitation. Answer key.
Shen Tong raised the phone to his ear and held his breath to listen to Xu Xia's voice. However, for a long time, there was no sound from the other party. Shen Tong mustered up the courage and said, "Is it you?"
Hearing Shen Tong speak, Xu Xia's tears burst out instantly. She nodded desperately and said, "Shen Tong, it's me."
Hearing Xu Xia's cry, Shen Tong closed his eyes. Xu Xia's figure appeared in front of his eyes, and his longing was transmitted to each other through the radio waves.
Xu Xia's crying became louder and louder. Shen Tong wanted to comfort her, but couldn't find the right words. His heart was equally sad. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could still meet each other on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day every year, but they were so close that they never met. Opportunity.
Shen Tong panicked. He took out the cigarette on the bedside table, lit it shakily, and said, "Xu Xia, please stop crying, or you may break your body from crying."
When Xu Xia heard this, she guessed that Shen Tong already knew about her situation, so she wiped away her tears and sobbed: "You know everything?"
"Yeah." Shen Tong replied softly.
Xu Xia suddenly laughed again, which made Shen Tong a little uneasy. After a while, Xu Xia said, "I've made you laugh. I'm no longer human, ghost or not. This is my fate."
Shen Tong comforted him: "Xu Xia, don't think so. You should try your best to stay in a happy mood during this period and wait until the child is born. After all, the child is innocent."
Xu Xia sneered and said, "Don't comfort me anymore. Tell me about you. How are you doing?"
"It's okay." Shen Tong suddenly felt that he had nothing to talk to Xu Xia, so the conversation became a question-and-answer style.
Xu Xia said: "As long as you are fine, I am happy for you and sincerely wish you find your own happiness."
Just as Shen Tong was about to speak, Xu Xia interrupted: "Shen Tong, to make a long story short, I'm asking you, can you delete the communication record of your calls to me?"
Shen Tong was puzzled and said, "Okay."
Xu Xia knew that Shen Tong had misunderstood her meaning, and added: "I didn't mean on the mobile phone, but on the communication company."
"Ah?" Shen Tong said in surprise: "Well, it doesn't seem possible. What's wrong?"
"Okay!" Xu Xia calmed down a lot at this moment and told Shen Tong: "Let me tell you a serious situation. My mobile phone is closely monitored by Zheng Weijun. He will retrieve my call details every month, and with Your phone calls are the focus of his monitoring. If the communication record cannot be deleted tonight, Zheng Weijun will know for sure. Can you think of a way to remedy it? "
"Ah?" Hearing the news was like a thunderbolt. Shen Tong didn't expect how much trouble this unintentional move would bring to himself and Xu Xia. He had promised Guo Weijian of Tiancheng Company, and Lu Wei, the executive deputy county magistrate, promised that he would not work with him again. Xu Xia contacted him. This coincidence harmed both of them. His mind was in a mess at the moment, and he was thinking of countermeasures quickly.
Seeing that Shen Tong didn't speak, Xu Xia said again: "Shen Tong, you don't have to worry about me. He and I have become like this anyway, so it doesn't matter. I'm more worried about you now. If Zheng Weijun comes to trouble you, I can't even imagine it." No matter what happens, people like him can do anything."
Shen Tong was confused. Since he couldn't make a fuss about the communication records, he could start from other aspects. But the most hateful thing was that the call was actually made late at night. Even if both parties were innocent, jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash it away. Cleared up. Shen Tong began to hate himself. Not only did he harm Xu Xia, but he also harmed himself.
Shen Tong tried his best to keep a clear mind and said: "Xu Xia, don't worry about me, I have a way to deal with him. What should you do?"
"What can he do to me? The child in my belly is a shield. Don't worry, I'm fine. But you... I'm really worried. If it doesn't work, did you change your mobile phone number?" Xu Xia thought of various ways.
"No! This method won't work at all." Shen Tong said: "Let's hang up the phone now. Since Zheng Weijun found out that I was on the phone with you, he will definitely retrieve my call records. The longer it takes, the more harmful it will be to us. No. I’ve written down your new number and I’ll contact you later.”
"Okay, if there is no good way, let me solve this matter. You can go to bed early." After saying that, Xu Xia hung up the phone.
Shen Tong was nervous and his heart was in his throat. He checked the length of the call with Xu Xia. The previous call was 5 minutes and 23 seconds, and the next call was 3 minutes and 54 seconds. Such a long call was enough to make Zheng Weijun furious and furious. .
What should I do? What should I do? Shen Tong was so angry that he hit his head with his fist. Although he didn't know Zheng Weijun, he could guess from Xu Xia's tragic fate that he was a narrow-minded person. This call accelerated Zheng Weijun's hatred and turned the raging The fire burned himself.
In the past, Shen Tong would not even have thought that if Zheng Weijun wanted to do whatever he wanted, the worst he could do would be to resign and not be part of the system. How could you bear with me? But it was different now. He was used to the rhythm of officialdom, not to mention Wu Jiangkai He values him so highly, and his career is on the rise. If Zheng Weijun uses his father, the organization director of the provincial party committee, to suppress him, the consequences will be disastrous. What will his family do? What will Wu Jiangkai think? What will Lan Yue's family think? A series of questions The impact hit Shen Tong's head again and again. He felt like his head was bloated and his whole body was numb.
Speaking of Lan Yue, if Lan Yue knew about it, how would he explain it? If he contacted his ex-girlfriend behind her back, could she forgive him?
That night, Shen Tong really suffered from insomnia. Until dawn, he stared at a certain place with cigarette butts scattered on the ground.
It was past seven o'clock, and Shen Tong got up. He could not delay his work no matter what. He dressed and washed his face, and went to the guest house to pick up Wu Jiangkai without eating breakfast.
As usual, Wu Jiangkai brushed his teeth and washed his face, while Shen Tong was busy cleaning up the office. He accidentally made the ashtray ring, and Wu Jiangkai, who was brushing his teeth, glanced in the mirror.
Something is wrong with Shen Tong today. He looks listless, his thoughts are drifting away, his eyes are red and swollen, and they are bloodshot. Wu Jiangkai said with concern: "Shen Tong, you didn't rest last night, okay?"
Shen Tong brought his emotions to work and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, Secretary Wu, maybe I caught a cold last night, I just need to take some cold medicine and it will be fine."
"How can this be possible?" Wu Jiangkai turned around and said, "Well, you don't have to go to work today. Go back and have a good rest. I will ask Wei Gang to accompany you to the hospital later."
"No, Secretary Wu, I'm fine." Shen Tong was very touched when he heard that Wu Jiangkai cared about him.
"Is this okay?" Wu Jiangkai walked up to Shen Tong and stroked his hot forehead with the back of his hand and said, "You are already so hot. Put down what you are doing and go and have a rest."
"Secretary Wu, there's really no need..." Shen Tong continued to insist.
"This is an order, you must rest today." After saying that, he took out his phone and called Wei Gang. After a while, Old Wei ran over, and Wu Jiangkai warned: "You will accompany Shen Tong to the hospital later. If you have a minor illness, If the problem is minor, just prescribe some medicine and give some fluids. If the problem is serious, ask the doctor to check it out. In addition, you don’t need to worry about me today. You will accompany Shen Tong throughout the whole process. At noon, let the guesthouse prepare sick meals and deliver them to the dormitory. Take good care of Shen Tong."
Old Wei looked at Shen Tong with some envy and said, "Okay, Secretary Wu, I promise to complete the task. But, don't you have to go to Longzhong this afternoon?"
Wu Jiangkai said sternly: "Don't worry about this, just ask Haidong to accompany me." Then he turned back to Shen Tong and said: "Go to the hospital quickly. If you persist, I will be angry."
Shen Tong had no choice but to follow Old Wei. Before leaving, Wu Jiangkai said again: "Shen Tong, I understand what you said last night, and I will do it according to your ideas. I plan to leave this matter to you." Zhang Xiaoshi will take care of it, so you don’t have to worry."
Shen Tong was very happy to hear that Wu Jiangkai adopted his opinion, but at the moment he couldn't be happy.
After arriving at the hospital for examination, it was just a common cold. Just take some medicine and rest. Old Wei drove Shen Tong back to the dormitory and imitated Wu Jiangkai's tone of voice and ordered Shen Tong: "Don't do anything now, just be obedient." Lie down on the bed." After saying that, he hurriedly poured a glass of boiling water for Shen Tong and put the cup to his mouth.
"Thank you, Old Wei!" Shen Tong said gratefully.
Old Wei chuckled and said, "Thank you for that. The things Secretary Wu told me must be completed. If you make any mistake, Secretary Wu will definitely blame me."
Shen Tong took the medicine and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, right?"
"Why not?" Old Wei sat on a chair nearby and said, "Shen Tong, you are so lucky. Secretary Wu treats you very well and trusts you very much. I almost envy you to death."
"Don't be rude to me. I am different from you. You are his driver, just like his own family. I am just his secretary. No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot surpass your feelings. In the future, Secretary Wu will be transferred and disappear. You have to take me with you, but I will definitely take you with me." Shen Tong said modestly.
Lao Wei's idea was simple, and Shen Tong was telling the truth. He chuckled and said, "I hope we can partner together in the future. I feel very comfortable partnering with you, and we have a tacit understanding of our cooperation."
Shen Tong was still thinking about Xu Xia and said, "Old Wei, let me ask you something, okay?"
