Chapter 445: When it’s all over, go away and prepare to go to the port city
Li Xiangqian is still very optimistic about the future situation.
He thought it was just a small ideological disagreement.
Everything will pass.
Cao Weidong sighed.
Yes.
Everything will pass.
It’s just that the time span in between may last a full ten years!
But this is the path Li Xiangqian chose.
He can't interfere either.
In his previous life, Cao Weidong loved watching Hong Kong dramas.
There is a quite classic line in it.
"You can't control everything."
"Biology...we can't control it."
"Death...we can't control it."
"But I can control between life and death... I can take the path I choose, I have the final say!"
As this unprecedented storm is approaching, everyone has made their own choice.
Li Xiangqian is like this.
The same goes for Cao Weidong.
.......
Li Xiangqian was originally helping Cao Weidong stand up.
After the matter was settled, he was ready to return to the provincial capital.
Cao Weidong tried his best to persuade Li to stay and invited Li Xiangqian to stay one more night.
Li Xiangqian couldn't refuse his kindness, so he agreed.
In the evening, Cao Weidong invited Li Xiangqian to have a drink and dinner at the best state-owned hotel in Tongquan City.
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes and the two bottles of special edition Moutai on the table, Li said earlier.
"Weidong, it's too expensive for you to do this. Let's just enjoy our friendship."
Cao Weidong poured a glass of wine for Li Qianqian, filled it with his own, and said seriously.
"This is what it should be. If it hadn't been for you and Secretary Huang, I wouldn't have been so successful. Brother Li, I'd like to toast you."
When talking about the past, Li Xiangqian's tone was full of regret.
"When I first met you, I felt that you were not a simple person and would become something big in the future. Now it seems that is indeed the case."
The two of them were eating and chatting, and unknowingly drank too much.
During this period, Cao Weidong was still a little worried, so he took the opportunity to give Li Xiangqian many precautions.
Li Xiangqian was a little puzzled.
"Brother, what's wrong with you today? It's like it's hard for us to see each other in the future?"
"I'm in the provincial capital. If you want me, come over and I'll be your host."
Cao Weidong smiled, raised his glass and said.
"Brother Li, you must remember what I said. Maybe you can use it in the future. If there is a chance, I will definitely come to you in the future."
"Okay, let's not talk about these things today, let's drink... Cheers!"
.......
The next day.
Cao Weidong sent away Li Xiangqian, who was still hungover, and hurried to Zhenhua Energy Plant to complete the handover under the witness of Secretary Yang.
At this moment, the system virtual screen automatically appeared, and lines of text popped up.
[Ding, you have retired with great success and left a valuable legacy for Tongquan City. Tongquan City’s favorability is 10.]
[Your favorability in Tongquan City is 100 points, and your current favorability level is worship!]
[You receive a reward: World Legend 1...]
This is...
Regional favorability is a slam dunk!???
Looking at the list of rewards in front of him, Cao Weidong felt a little dumbfounded.
Is this okay?
In order to increase the regional favorability of Tongquan City to the full point, Cao Weidong completed countless tedious tasks and received a lot of task rewards, but he was unable to improve the favorability.
Unexpectedly, today, when I handed over the authority of the factory director, I unexpectedly increased the regional favorability level.
This is really unintentional.
After the handover, Cao Weidong completely returned to his free agency.
Secretary Yang walked over and handed Cao Weidong a letter of introduction.
"This is the letter of introduction you asked for, Comrade Cao Weidong, what do you want to do next?"
Cao Weidong thought for a while and said.
"I plan to go to the county town first, and then go to Sijiu City to meet some old friends."
Secretary Yang patted Cao Weidong on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, go ahead and come back when you have time. This is your second home."
Cao Weidong made a pun.
"Don't worry, I will, I will definitely come back."
.......
In the following time, Cao Weidong traveled back and forth between the county seat and Sijiu City to say goodbye to all his old friends.
On this day he arrived at Secretary Huang's residence.
Looking at the heavily guarded cadre building in front of him, Cao Weidong sighed, then calmed down his emotions, walked over and knocked on the door.
The guard at the door came over immediately and said.
"Stop, this is a dormitory for senior cadres, ordinary people are not allowed to enter...Comrade Cao Weidong, why is it you?"
This guard once accompanied Secretary Huang to a National Day trade fair, happened to know Cao Weidong, and knew about the relationship between Cao Weidong and Secretary Huang, so he softened his tone.
Cao Weidong said with a smile.
"It's Brother Wang. You're on duty today. I'm here to see Secretary Huang. I called before."
The guard said with a smile: "I know, Secretary Huang told me, he is waiting in the living room, I will take you in now."
Accompanied by guards, Cao Weidong entered the cadre building and met Secretary Huang in the reception room.
I haven’t seen him for a few days, and Secretary Huang’s temples and eyebrows are showing a little gray, and he seems a little older than before.
Cao Weidong felt a little distressed.
"Secretary Huang, have you had trouble sleeping recently? I brought you some supplements."
Secretary Huang took the gift from Cao Weidong with a smile and said.
"Then you're welcome. I've always heard people say these days that the supplements you gave are very effective. I'll try them tonight too."
Cao Weidong said seriously.
"That's a good feeling. I'll send some more in two days."
Secretary Huang waved his hand and asked about Cao Weidong.
He knew that Cao Weidong resigned.
So I am very curious.
Cao Weidong said.
"Secretary Huang, although I am far away from Sijiu City, I can still grasp some things by reading newspapers frequently."
"Recently, Sijiucheng has been unstable. I think you have noticed it, right?"
Secretary Huang was silent for a moment and said.
"It's just that an article by an old friend of mine was attacked. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Cao Weidong reminded.
"It's not a big problem, but what if the person who wrote this article has ulterior motives and intends to provoke a war of public opinion?"
Secretary Huang frowned.
"It shouldn't happen, they can't be so rampant."
Cao Weidong stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
Secretary Huang was silent.
Cao Weidong took the opportunity to say.
"Secretary Huang, I think you are getting older. You might as well find an opportunity to go out and avoid the center of the whirlpool. It won't be too late for you to come back when the situation stabilizes."
Secretary Huang righteously rejected Cao Weidong's proposal.
"I have been in the military all my life, and I have never been afraid of being in a hail of bullets. Although I am old now, why do I want to go back as I live longer? Wei Dong, please don't say this anymore."
Cao Weidong closed his mouth angrily, sat there for a while, then stood up and left.
Before leaving, he left a lot of health products and gave them to Awe Laowang, asking him to hand them over to Secretary Huang.
Next, he went to see Liang Ladi and reminisced about the past. After that, he left a lot of money, told Liang Ladi to hide it, and then left the room without looking back.
Looking at Cao Weidong's retreating figure, tears flowed from Liang Ladi's eyes.
She is a smart woman. Through Cao Weidong's words, she had a premonition that after Cao Weidong left this time, she might never have the chance to see him again.
In fact, she also wanted to leave with Cao Weidong.
But if you bring your family with you, you can’t leave at all.
Far away.
Cao Weidong seemed to notice Liang Ladi's gaze, turned around and waved slightly, then turned around and walked down the street.
"I have already met everyone I want to see in Sijiu City, and now I have to think about how to get to Hong Kong City."
