I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: The purpose of this circle of worship was to hear you make some noise, but it ended with just one sentence.
Then I went to pay homage to Governor He, who said to me: "Xiao Feng, you still have a lot to do next, just drink as you like."
I nodded, but still drank it in one gulp. I believe that sometimes you have to listen to the leader completely, but sometimes you must not take it too seriously. For example, this glass of wine represents my attitude.
After the dinner, I went to the hotel manager to sign the bill and told them that our finance department would come to settle the bill for them tomorrow. This time we really didn’t spend much money except for gifts. Instead, it was just the banquet tonight. If
If we only look at the consumption in this hotel, our expenses are basically the same. After all, people come to the conference and pay the conference fee.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, such a meeting is very cost-effective for us.
After signing the bill, the hotel manager actually handed me a red envelope, "Director Feng, please take more care of us in the future."
I hurriedly refused, "Don't do this. We will definitely take care of you when it's time to take care of you."
He said: "This is our business rule, so don't be polite, Director Feng."
I thought about it and took it, and immediately felt that the thin and hard material inside seemed to be a card. I estimated that our meeting spent nearly 1 million in this hotel in total, so
I estimate there are at least tens of thousands in this card.
When I arrived at the hotel lobby, I saw people from the office distributing gifts to the guests. The old director and several deputy directors were there, and the division chiefs below were also serving here.
I handed the red envelope to the director of finance in front of everyone, "This is a kickback from the hotel. Take it and put it into our small treasury."
Everyone looked at me in surprise. In fact, my purpose of doing this was also a demonstration.
I smiled and asked the old director: "Old director, does this count as accepting bribes?"
The old director said: "Forget it! Why don't you count it?! You accepted money from others, so it should be counted."
Hearing what he said, I immediately became nervous, "I also want to use this to reduce our costs this time. Then we might as well just take it and give it back to them."
The old director smiled and said: "You don't have any money in your own pocket, so what are you afraid of? Besides, we are all watching. I have only heard of individuals taking bribes, but I don't think I have ever heard of companies taking bribes."
Everyone laughed. I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Old director, you're going to scare people to death."
The deputy minister and the leaders from Beijing are on a flight tomorrow morning, and we have to see them off then. Therefore, the real end time of this meeting should be tomorrow. But thinking that this meeting is finally coming to an end, my
I immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Although my time in the provincial recruitment office was short, I managed to accomplish several major things, which really gave me a great sense of accomplishment and pride.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening after the staff delivered all the gifts to the guests' rooms. Today I drove here by myself, so I asked Xiao Sui to go back early.
After getting in the car, I realized that my mobile phone was actually on the car. I suddenly remembered: I had forgotten it here when I got off the car. I hurriedly checked to see if there were any missed calls.
.... Sure enough, there is, and there are text messages.
The missed calls were from Zhong Feng and Ding Xiang. I didn’t think it was strange that Zhong Feng called me, but Ding Xiang... I don’t know why, but at this moment I suddenly had a feeling.
I became excited because I understood that Ding Xiang called me because of Kang Demao.
I called Zhong Feng back first, because this would give me enough time to talk to Ding Xiang.
Zhong Feng asked me when I was going abroad. I said I would see it in two days. My affairs here were not completely finished yet. She said she hoped I could tell her the time a few days in advance, because she had to arrange things in the restaurant.
You can leave. I said yes. Then she chuckled and asked me: "It seems like we have been here for half a month, right?"
My heart suddenly shook, and I don’t know why. What came to my mind at this moment was not her current appearance, but the appearance of the charming restaurant owner many years ago. At that time, she always gave me
I got a discount, and when Zhao Menglei and I had our first meal there, she even gave us a bottle of Wuliangye.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly became nostalgic today. Maybe it’s because I’m still remembering Ding Xiang’s phone call? Ding Xiang reminded me of Kang Demao, and the mutual calmness we had when we were together.
Thinking that I had to call Ding Xiang back immediately, and also thinking that I didn’t know what would happen next, I said to her: "Aren’t we going out soon? Then we will be together every day, and we will have an exotic atmosphere."
Why rush now? Our guests haven’t left yet, so it’s not empty yet.”
She smiled and said: "That's okay. You must tell me the departure time in advance?"
I suddenly remembered something, "What did you tell my father-in-law?"
I originally asked this question quite naturally, but when I asked it, I suddenly realized that I didn't know why I added the word "that" between the three words "my father-in-law". I immediately understood.
Well, it seems that I have created a real barrier with him subconsciously.
Xia Lan's incident, no matter how you put it, makes Lin Yi seem a bit selfish. Although I think that incident has long since passed, and I think it doesn't matter that they are together, but at this moment I understand that I still care about that incident very much.
She answered me: "I don't need to ask him for leave, right?"
I was startled and then smiled and said, "That's true."
Then I said I still had something to do, and she hung up the phone with a smile. I wasn't worried that she would tell Lin Yi about me. She is a person who has experienced life and death, and she has always said
I regard her as her savior, and she will not target me if she has any intentions towards anyone else. If she had no good intentions towards me, then the world would be too scary.
Next, I hesitated because I didn’t know what Ding Xiang was looking for. But a strong sense of curiosity kept tugging at my nerves, so after a brief hesitation, I still called her.
.
The call was connected, and her voice came immediately from the other end of the phone. It was a very plain voice, "I thought you were ignoring me."
I hurriedly said: "How is that possible? I was doing reception today and I forgot my phone in the car. I'm sorry."
She said: "Oh."
I immediately asked: "Dingxiang, did you call me for something?"
She made a faint voice, "No, it's okay..."
Listening to her tone and hesitant way of speaking, I immediately felt that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, so I hurriedly said: "Dingxiang, we are still friends, right? If you have anything, please tell me, okay?"
She sighed, "He wants to divorce me..."
I was immediately shocked, "Why, why?"
She still had the same tone and voice, "How do I know?"
I suddenly felt a little baffled, "You don't know? How is this possible?"
She said: "Since he was transferred back to the provincial capital, he has become taciturn. He goes to and from get off work on time every day. After returning home to have dinner, he goes into the study. He rarely talks to me, and now he no longer shares the same room with me.
I asked him why, but he didn't tell me anything. He didn't say anything when his parents quarreled with me. What do you think he wanted to divorce me for? Now I just have to ask for it myself.
Thinking of our daughter, I really can't bear to do that. Hey! What's wrong with me? Why is my life so miserable? I found two men, but both men had such inexplicable weird tempers. Hey..."
After listening to what she said, I understood what was going on with Kang Demao, but what could I say? After a moment of silence, I said: "Dingxiang, it's best if you take the time to have a good talk with him. Maybe.
It's because he's been in a bad mood recently, so I don't think he necessarily wants to divorce you."
But she immediately started sobbing on the other end of the phone, "Feng Xiao, did you know? He, he actually took the child for a paternity test quietly. Wow! Tell me, didn't he insult me? If I wasn't
For the sake of the children, I divorced him a long time ago. He is a very dark person."
Her words immediately shocked me: How could this Kang Demao be like this? But I can definitely imagine that the results of the paternity test after he took the child to do it should have completely proved the biological relationship between the child and him. Otherwise, he
He divorced Ding Xiang a long time ago. But Ding Xiang is right: he did this, which shows that his psychology is indeed too dark.
At this moment, I have to think about a question: Since Kang Demao took the child for a paternity test, who does he suspect that Ding Xiang is related to? Is it me?
Immediately I felt that I was too suspicious. Obviously, Kang Demao was because his previous marriage had long cast a shadow on his heart, so much so that he now could not believe that the child he and Ding Xiang had was his own.
.Once a person has such a shadow in his heart, that shadow will always be shrouded in his heart and it will be difficult to get rid of it. And it is precisely because of the lingering shadow that exists deep in his heart.
It was the shadow that made him finally take his child for such an appraisal.
The dark things in his heart may not only be caused by his last marriage, or at most, it is his last marriage that created such a shadow for him, and this time his job changes and
Everything else that happened was the trigger that caused the shadow in his heart to suddenly expand and become uncontrollable. So I couldn't help but wonder: Is all this his fault?
I shook my head with a wry smile. Then, I said to Dingxiang: "Dingxiang, I don't think you should blame him too much. Although he has his faults, he may not be able to control some things in his heart. You are a college student
The teacher should have some understanding of psychology. In fact, he is very bitter inside. Although his doing this is a kind of harm to you, in fact, is this not to eliminate his doubts about you? If there is doubt between two people,
But he has been suppressing himself and burying the suspicion deeply in his heart. That would be more terrifying. Dingxiang, I think you should put yourself in his perspective and think about why he did that. Maybe then you can understand
Now he shouldn't doubt you at all, so this is your chance to have a good talk with him."
She said: "Weren't you and him good friends before? Why have we become strangers now? Can you go out and talk to him? Maybe he will listen to you." (To be continued)
