In the president's office, Chen Zhixiang introduced us to each other, and we started chatting around the topic of loans.
Through chatting, I learned that their bank has several large loan assignments this year, and I happen to be someone Chen Zhixiang trusts.
Our communication went very smoothly, but the other party had a request for me to have relevant business dealings in Chongqing.
This is not difficult for me, just set up a shell company.
But what I thought was that I wanted to separate the logistics company, and Chongqing can be regarded as the sorting center of logistics in the western region.
I plan to relocate the logistics company to Chongqing, so that we can also maintain the logistics operation of agricultural products in our town. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
I expressed this idea at that time, and it was strongly recognized by the president and Chen Zhixiang.
After nearly an hour of discussion, we finally determined the loan amount of 200 million, and we also needed to provide the company's relevant running accounts and various indicator data.
Now that we have money, two hundred million can completely solve the urgent need, but the most important thing is to find Wang Yi.
Otherwise, even if I have money, I won’t be able to find anyone to help me spend it. When the company develops to a certain level, there must be professional people to do professional things.
After dinner, I sent Chen Zhixiang back to his residence in the city. He also invited me to spend the night at his house, but I declined. After all, it was not a good idea.
When I sent him to the gate of the community, I suddenly remembered something, so I asked him: "Secretary Chen, do you have any acquaintances in the traffic police team?"
"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhixiang looked at me and asked with a smile.
I also smiled and said, "I also want to ask you to do me a favor."
"What are you busy with? Tell me."
"Is such that"
I told everything about my stay in Daliangshan, including how the liar defrauded Hope Primary School of textbook fees.
After hearing this, Chen Zhixiang was very angry and said: "How can there be such a bastard? He hopes to cheat elementary school money, is he still a human being?"
"So, Secretary Chen, if you know someone from the traffic police team, could you please help me check? I have the liar's license plate number here."
Chen Zhixiang said without hesitation: "That's no problem. This kind of liar must be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. It's such a big deal."
"Okay, then Secretary Chen, I'll thank you first." With that, I told him the license plate number.
"I just have a message. You don't need to be so polite. Go back and rest early."
"Okay, Secretary Chen, I'll leave first. If you need anything, just call me."
After getting back in the car, I found a nearby hotel on my phone and went directly to the hotel to book a room.
It was already very late, so I went to the hotel to wash up briefly and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I drove to Nanshan Prison.
After asking the prison guard, I found out that Huang Li was really being held here.
I really wanted to know what she was in jail for, so I applied to meet her.
In the interview room, I waited for a few minutes before I saw a prison guard escorting Huang Li out of the room.
She was wearing a prison uniform and handcuffs on her hands. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight and her hair was cut short, but she was still in good spirits.
When she saw me, she even smiled and looked very calm.
But I felt so bad, I couldn't bear to see her like this.
Our center has a thick layer of glass, so communication can only be done by phone.
But at that moment, I was so confused that I didn't even think of using the phone to communicate with her, and kept calling her through the glass.
Until she waved her hand, and then pointed to the landline phone in front of me, gesturing for me to pick up the phone.
Only then did I realize what was going on. I quickly grabbed the phone and asked her, "Tell me what's going on? Why are you in jail?"
Huang Li didn't look anxious at all, and said to me with a smile: "It's okay, how are you these days?"
"I'm fine, what am I asking you? What happened to you? What happened?"
"It's nothing. It's just the things that happened in the past. I took the initiative to surrender."
"Why?"
"Can't I just start a new life?"
I sighed heavily and asked helplessly: "How long was the sentence?"
"Less than three years."
"What do you mean less than three years? Do you think three years is a short time?"
"It's quite short. When I come out, I will only be twenty-nine years old, younger than you are now."
I smiled bitterly and said, "You have a really good attitude."
"What if I don't? Should I cry to you now?"
I sighed again, suddenly not knowing what to say.
In silence, Huang Li asked me: "How are you and An Lan doing? Are you engaged?"
I shook my head and replied in a deep voice: "The situation is very bad. I can't even explain it to you in a sentence or two."
Huang Li sighed softly and said: "You two are really in trouble, but I believe that you two will eventually get married."
"Stop talking about this, I really want to know about you now. When you were in Chengdu, you left me a letter and left. Did you come back to surrender?"
"Yeah." She nodded to me.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I said reproachfully.
"This is not a glorious thing. What's there to say?"
After finishing speaking, she paused and then said: "Don't worry, maybe I will be released in less than three years. I will try to behave better and wait for the sentence to be reduced."
I was still very sad, but I knew that there was a time limit for me to meet her, and I couldn't waste this precious time in silence.
I then asked her: "How are you doing there? Is anyone bullying you?"
"No, I'm just bullying others."
I rolled my eyes at her and said, "It's already this time, but you're still in the mood to joke with me."
"Really, I'm doing pretty well in there, so don't worry at all."
"Don't lie to me, you have lost weight."
Huang Li still maintained a smile and said: "It's normal to lose weight. Do you think the food inside is the same as outside? I think it's better to be thin, as long as I'm not fat."
"It's time." The prison guard behind Huang Li suddenly said.
The time has come so quickly, but I still have a lot to say.
I quickly said to Huang Li: "You must behave well in there and try to come out as soon as possible. I will come to see you again."
"Stop coming to see me. You'd better live a good life with An Lan. She will be jealous if you do this."
After saying that, she put down the phone, made a goodbye gesture to me, and followed the prison guard back to the iron door.
My heart suddenly felt empty, as if something was missing, and as if something important had been lost.
An indescribable feeling spread in my heart. After being stunned for a long time, I finally recognized this reality.
Three years is really too long.
When she comes out, I will be thirty-four.
I don't know what I was like at that time, maybe I was married, maybe I had children.
But maybe, I don’t know what will happen to me and An Lan?
After experiencing so many ups and downs, I understand a truth: there are always too many things in life that we don't expect, and before it happens, we can only wait.
