Zhou Juntao, who was urged by Qiao Hui to wash up, changed his clothes and drove to Qiaojiayu with Qiao Hui.
Because he slept late last night, Zhou Juntao was still a little listless, so he let Qiao Hui drive while Zhou Juntao sat in the passenger seat and took a nap.
When the car arrived at Mazhuang Town, Zhou Juntao was woken up by the bumpy road. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around, "Xiaohui, where are you?"
"We'll be there in a minute." Qiao Hui replied.
Zhou Juntao nodded. When he heard that it was almost here, he lost his sleepiness and sat in a daze, looking ahead blankly.
After sitting blankly for several minutes, Zhou Juntao's eyes moved, and he gradually gained some energy. He turned to look at his wife, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Xiaohui, you said that your brother has become the county magistrate. Let's
Those who are relatives have not enjoyed any blessings."
"What do you want to say?" Qiao Hui glanced at her husband.
"It's nothing, Xiaohui, you don't know that when I was a child, my uncle was the head of the township, so I just made a living with him, contracted some projects in the township from time to time, and sometimes helped others
We can do some things with each other, and now we have a net worth of several million. You see, your brother is already a high-ranking official when he is the county magistrate, but we are still living a miserable life." Zhou Juntao said with a smile.
"Juntao, I said you are a little strange today. My brother is my brother. It is his business for him to become a high official. For those of us who are relatives, please search the book help for the latest chapters. The most important thing is not to give it to him
Holding back, instead of trying to use his power to make money. In the past, my brother warned us time and time again not to do it without any reason.
Accepting benefits from others, especially those that seem like pie-in-the-sky good deeds, often has traps hidden behind them. A few days ago, I called you very late at night to warn you about this. Have you forgotten?" Qiao Hui looked at it.
Looking at her husband Zhou Juntao, "Juntao, we can't help my brother, but we can't hold him back."
"That's what I said. I didn't say what I wanted to do. Look, you gave me an ideological education class." Zhou Juntao curled his lips.
"I'm afraid you'll be messing around outside under the guise of my brother." Qiao Hui glanced at her husband, "Juntao, you often come back late at night recently. When I asked you why you were there, you always said you were drinking with friends.
Yes, did you lie to me?"
"Why did I lie to you? I just went to drink with friends. Otherwise, what else could I do?" Zhou Juntao smiled unnaturally.
Qiao Hui was preoccupied with driving and did not pay close attention to her husband's expression. She subconsciously chose to believe her husband's words because her husband had always been a conscientious and honest person. Therefore, although Zhou Juntao was a little abnormal during this period, Qiao Hui did not take it seriously.
Think about it.
However, Qiao Hui still warned her at this moment, "Juntao, it's okay for you to go out drinking with your friends, but you must not do anything under the banner of my brother."
"I know, you are too long-winded. I don't know how many times you have said it." Zhou Juntao was a little impatient and said, "Your brother has become a high official. It doesn't matter if we can't take advantage of it. Why do we have to do it?"
Lift your tail like a human being."
"How are you talking? You can have such a leisurely and comfortable job now, and it's not all because of my brother." Qiao Hui said dissatisfied.
"Your brother hadn't become an official at that time." Zhou Juntao disagreed.
"Although he hadn't become an official at that time, it was still a work problem that his resources helped you solve. If you weren't taking advantage of him, then who was taking advantage of you?" Qiao Hui stared at Zhou Juntao, "What's going on with you today?
Why do I feel that you have been acting strange since you woke up in the morning?"
"No, don't be suspicious." Zhou Juntao turned his head to the window, not daring to look at his wife.
Qiao Hui's eyes were a little confused, and her intuition told her that her husband was a little unusual today, but she had to focus on driving right now, so Qiao Hui didn't want to think too much about it.
In the car, there was silence.
Zhou Juntao looked outside the car silently, his eyes slowly losing focus, and his thoughts gradually began to wander, as if he had returned to the nightmarish moment last night.
After a wild gamble, when the cards were drawn, Zhou Juntao was stunned when he saw that the number of points in his hand was smaller than that of his opponent. His mind went blank. At that moment, there were only two words in Zhou Juntao's mind: It's over.
If he works step by step and only earns a dead salary for the rest of his life, then Zhou Juntao's life will indeed be over. He will not be able to save two million to repay his gambling debts until he retires.
Zhou Juntao lost the crazy bet last night. Not only was he unable to pay off his one million gambling debt, but he owed another one million more.
When he walked out of the hotel, Zhou Juntao didn't even know how he got into the car and went home. He was like a zombie. Until he got home, Zhou Juntao could only smoke one cigarette after another. His heart was filled with fear and regret.
Depression and other various emotions, if time could go back, Zhou Juntao hoped that he would not be so crazy and could calm down, but there is no regret in the world.
When he thought that he now owed two million in gambling debts, Zhou Juntao was filled with despair. How could he repay such a large sum of money? Even if he sold the house now, it would not be enough to repay the debt. And if it hadn't been for last night,
Sun Guifa is here, it’s not easy to type by hand. Please help me by sending the Qiushubang URL (/) to Baidu Tieba or Baidu Know, so that everyone knows that it is being updated. Zhou Juntao may not even be able to get out of the hotel...
Zhou Juntao's head was feeling dizzy as he was thinking about his thoughts along the way. After arriving at Qiaojiayu, Zhou Juntao regained some energy.
At Qiao Liang's house, Qiao Liang and her father were sitting in the main room chatting, while Lu Qian went to help in the kitchen. The beautiful and virtuous Lu Qian made Qiao Liang's mother fall in love with her more and more, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
After Qiao Hui got home, she learned that her brother Qiao Liang had brought a girl back. She hurriedly got into the kitchen and soon became close to Lu Qian. In a short time, the two of them were like best friends.
In the living room, Zhou Juntao accompanied Qiao Liang and chatted with his father-in-law. His mind was on Qiao Liang. When Qiao Liang's father got up to go to the toilet, Zhou Juntao immediately seized the opportunity and said, seemingly jokingly, "Brother, I quit my job."
How about Songbei following you?"
Zhou Juntao and his wife Qiao Hui are both called Brother Qiao Liang.
"What?" Qiao Liang thought she heard wrongly and looked at Zhou Juntao doubtfully, "You want to resign?"
"I have such an idea." Zhou Juntao scratched his head and said with a smile, "Brother, I will go to Songbei to take care of some small projects. Do you think you'd like that?"
"Engineering? Do you have experience in this field, and do you have connections in Songbei?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"Brother, aren't you here? You are the county magistrate of Songbei. I will join you when I go." Zhou Juntao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately understood that Zhou Juntao went to Songbei because he wanted to use his power as the county magistrate to carry out projects. Qiao Liang was immediately unhappy and said seriously, "Juntao, how could you have such an idea? I have said it many times.
Yes, the power in my hands is given by the people, and I will never use the power in my hands to do anything that violates the principles."
"Brother, your thoughts are too rigid. As the old saying goes, if you have the right to use it, it will become invalid after it expires. You..." Zhou Juntao said with a smile. When he saw Qiao Liang staring at him, his eyes gradually became sharp. Zhou Juntao's voice
Then he slowly became smaller, and he didn't dare to say the next words.
Qiao Liang looked sternly, "Juntao, what's going on? Aren't you doing a good job at the county sports center now? Why do you suddenly want to resign?"
"I just feel that this nine-to-five job is too hopeless. It means nothing if I look at it all my life." Zhou Juntao said with a smile.
"It's meaningless? Juntao, are you a little bit ignorant of your blessings? How many people want to do your so-called meaningless job but can't do it, and you are not satisfied yet." Qiao Liang said angrily,
Zhou Juntao's job was originally arranged by Li Youwei when he was the Propaganda Minister of Sanjiang County. No one else even had this opportunity, and Zhou Juntao doesn't know how to cherish it now.
"Brother, I'm just talking, I didn't say I really wanted to resign." Zhou Juntao kept smiling. Seeing Qiao Liang's sullen face, he felt a little frightened. He felt that there was an indescribable feeling in Qiao Liang's body.
majesty.
Unknowingly, Qiao Liang already had an aura of calmness and authority.
After hearing Zhou Juntao's words, Qiao Liang's face softened slightly. After all, Zhou Juntao was his brother-in-law. He could not reprimand Zhou Juntao too much. He could only say, "Juntao, you and Xiaohui both have stable jobs. In a county like Sanjiang,
In the city, you can live a very comfortable life and be happier than most people, so don’t think about doing anything else."
"Well, that's what I said." Zhou Juntao lowered his head and responded duplicitously.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly. He could see that Zhou Juntao was perfunctory and was a little strange about Zhou Juntao's performance today. Zhou Juntao was not like this in the past. In his impression, Zhou Juntao did his duty. He had always been very satisfied with this brother-in-law in the past.
I feel that if my sister marries an honest and courteous person like Zhou Juntao, her life will not be very exciting, but it will be a kind of happiness to live a plain life.
Zhou Juntao didn't dare to say anything for a moment, he lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Qiao Liang frowned when he saw Zhou Juntao's appearance. He turned around and asked his sister to find out what was going on with Zhou Juntao. Why did he feel a little abnormal?
In the kitchen, Qiao Hui soon came out and started to have lunch. Seeing her husband smoking, Qiao Hui immediately said, please search for the latest chapter. "Juntao, you don't go outside to smoke.
It’s made a mess.”
Zhou Juntao didn't say anything after hearing this, got up and walked outside.
Qiao Liang glanced at Zhou Juntao's back outside the door, walked to her sister, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaohui, has Juntao done anything unusual recently? Did something happen to him? Why did he just tell me
I want to resign."
"Really?" Qiao Hui was stunned and glanced outside the door with a strange look in her eyes. Her husband was really unusual today.
With this thought in her mind, Qiao Hui said, "Brother, you don't need to worry about him. What could possibly happen to him? He is probably just talking nonsense."
When Qiao Liang heard what her sister said, she couldn't help but nodded. Qiao Hui must know Zhou Juntao best. Since her sister said so, it should be fine. (To be continued)
