"Yes, I understand." An Zhe nodded and continued eating.
After hearing what An Zhe said, Lu Ming couldn't guess what An Zhe was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
But Lu Ming immediately realized that no matter what An Zhe thought, as for himself, whatever he did now, he had to satisfy An Zhe. This was the key.
But how can he do things that suit Anzhe's appetite and make him satisfied with himself? Lu Ming doesn't understand Anzhe's temper now, and he feels a little confused.
Looking at Qiao Liang sitting next to him while eating, Lu Ming suddenly felt something in his heart...
After dinner, Anzhe asked Lu Ming: "When will we leave?"
Lu Ming raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Secretary An, it is 8 o'clock now, we will set off at 9 o'clock."
"Okay, let's go for a walk." An Zhe stood up.
"Okay, let me take a walk in the yard with Secretary An." Lu Ming said to please. Being able to be alone with An Zhe for an hour is a good opportunity to report his thoughts and ideas to An Zhe.
An Zhe nodded and went out with his hands behind his back, and Lu Ming hurriedly followed.
Lu Qian and Qiao Liang were left in the room.
Lu Qian sighed: "It's not easy for Comrade Lu either."
"Who has it easy these days?" Qiao Liang said casually.
"Actually, whether it's easy or not depends on your mentality. If Lao Lu could calm down, he wouldn't live such a tiring life."
"How do you know he is tired?"
"Only a fool can't see it." Lu Qian curled her lips, "Actually, Lao Lu has been in office for less than 4 years, so why are you so anxious?"
Qiao Liang snorted: "What you said is easy. If the conditions are sufficient, I can't be promoted. Especially when my colleagues are also deputy directors, who is not in a hurry to replace me?"
"I won't be in a hurry if you change it."
"You haven't reached that time, and it doesn't hurt to stand and talk." Qiao Liang snorted again, "When working in the officialdom, status and face are equally important. Director Lu's colleagues are all deputy directors. He is the only one who is in the right position. Let's work together.
During the meeting, he must have felt embarrassed about his status and lost face, so I understand Director Lu's mood very well."
Lu Qian shook her head: "Okay, I won't argue with you about this. Let me tell you something, the third child found a knife and a squint a few days ago."
"Oh..." Qiao Liang's eyes lit up, "Where did you find it?"
"Lao San found these two guys on a small tourist island far away from the mainland. No wonder they couldn't be found using technical means. It turned out that they lived in a fisherman's house without any identification documents. These two guys passed by on that island.
It’s very relaxing. During the day, you can sunbathe on the beach, or rent a speedboat for a ride on the sea, and at night, go to the island’s bars to drink and pick up girls..."
"The third child didn't alert them, did he?"
"No, according to your suggestion, the third child is just monitoring them secretly, and they are not aware of it now."
"That's good. It's not appropriate to take action against them at this time. We have to wait for the right time."
"When will the right time come up that you mentioned?"
"This..." Qiao Liang pondered for a moment, "I'm not sure, but it should be soon."
"Are you still relying on your own intuition?" Lu Qian frowned.
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded.
"You trust your instincts?"
Qiao Liang said vaguely: "Sometimes, intuition is just a vague illusion, but sometimes, when you have a strong premonition, that intuition should be very accurate."
"So, your current intuition is still well-founded."
"Yes."
"Can you tell me?"
"No." Qiao Liang said simply.
"Why not?" Lu Qian was a little dissatisfied.
"There are some things I must keep secret."
Lu Qian blinked and seemed to have guessed something: "What do you mean..."
"Just understand it, don't say it out loud." Qiao Liang interrupted Lu Qian.
Lu Qian nodded, seeming to understand. She pondered for a moment and looked at Qiao Liang: "I want to ask you something."
"explain--"
"Did you have any intuition before about Zhang Mei? Or a premonition?"
As soon as Lu Qian mentioned this topic, Qiao Liang's heart twitched, his face suddenly dropped, and his eyes were cold.
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, Lu Qian was startled. She regretted asking this and waved her hands quickly: "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything and don't embarrass me."
Qiao Liang said nothing, exhaled, stood up and walked out.
Lu Qian followed behind and whispered softly: "Actually, I'm just curious, nothing more. I really can't figure out why a woman would do this for money..."
Qiao Liang stopped and turned around to glare at Lu Qian.
Lu Qian pursed her lips and spread her hands: "I really won't say anything anymore, okay?"
Qiao Liang exhaled heavily again, turned around and left.
Lu Qian made a face at Qiao Liang from behind.
After coming out, Qiao Liang looked up at the bleak night, thinking about Zhang Mei who was in the mental hospital, and her parents who had suffered a heavy blow because of this incident, and felt unspeakable sadness and pain in her heart.
Lu Qian stood next to Qiao Liang, was silent for a while, and said softly: "I can understand your current mood, but I think you should get out of the haze as soon as possible. In fact, I think this is how people are in this life, it should happen
It will always happen, no matter whether you are anxious, angry or in pain, but life goes on, and the sun will rise every day, so you must move forward and look forward, life is actually that simple."
Qiao Liang turned to look at Lu Qian, her expression was very serious at this time.
Qiao Liang thought about Lu Qian's words, and felt in confusion that a person's greatest pain yesterday is likely to create the strongest strength tomorrow. No matter how painful things you experience, you will gradually forget them in the end. Because nothing can rival it.
Gotta pass the time.
Perhaps forgetting is the best salvation.
Perhaps forgetting is inevitable as time passes.
Perhaps, the only one who can save yourself is yourself.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang breathed out softly: "Lu Qian, thank you."
"We are friends. Let's just say thank you and see each other." Lu Qian smiled.
In the night, her smile looked beautiful.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but smile at Lu Qian.
This was the first time Qiao Liang laughed since Zhang Mei's incident happened.
"Qiao Liang, actually I really hope you can be happy." Lu Qian said sincerely.
Qiao Liang nodded, raised his hand and patted Lu Qian on the shoulder: "Lv Qian, thank you, you are very good."
"Nonsense, when did I get bad?" Lu Qian snorted and raised her hand to lightly hit Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but laugh again.
Lu Qian clapped her hands: "Hey, that's right. You are a man, a man who stands upright. No matter how big things happen, you must get through it. No matter what happens, you must maintain an optimistic heart."
"Don't worry, I will." Qiao Liang nodded.
Lu Qian continued: "The order of appearance of everyone you meet in life is really important. If you met many people at a different time, they would have different endings."
"This is quite philosophical. I can't tell you are quite smart." Qiao Liang couldn't help but agree. If she hadn't known Zhang Mei in this life, or met Zhang Mei later, maybe she wouldn't have such a failed marriage.
Zhang Mei would not have the tragic ending she has today.
Lu Qian smiled: "Actually, I didn't say that."
"Which philosopher said this?"
"Ye Zheren said it."
"Ye Xinyi?"
"Yes." Lu Qian nodded, "When we were gathering together, when we talked about you and Zhang Mei, Xinyi remained silent, and finally said this."
Qiao Liang pondered, wondering what state of mind and consciousness Ye Xinyi had when she said these words, or what feelings Zhang Mei's incident triggered in her.
