Hearing Gao Chenghan put Hu Xiaoying's name and Hua Jianjun's name together, Liang Jian felt uncomfortable. It was as if a stone was pressing on his chest, giving him a suffocating feeling. He wanted to spit it out.
, but couldn’t spit it out.
It took Liang Jian two or three seconds to pretend that nothing had happened. He said: "Comrade Hu Xiaoying gave me a good feeling. I think she may also have her own considerations."
Hearing this, Gao Chenghan nodded and said: "Comrade Hu Xiaoying is a rare smart and determined woman among the many female cadres I have met. She can be called a heroine."
Hearing Gao Chenghan's evaluation of Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian felt a little proud in his heart, as if Gao Chenghan was praising him. However, when he thought of Hua Jianjun's proposal at the Standing Committee to transfer Hu Xiaoying to the province, he suddenly felt uneasy.
He sank under control.
He remembered that at noon that day, he called Hu Xiaoying, but she never answered the phone and refused to let him go find her or see her. His thoughts spread uncontrollably and he didn't want to think badly of her.
But some emotions just can't be controlled. Some conjectures will still appear in his mind, turning his heart into a mess.
Gao Chenghan sent him to the community and left. Liang Jian stood downstairs and walked around and around. Finally, he couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and called Hu Xiaoying.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. It was very quiet on the other end. Liang Jian imagined that she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a dark room, with one hand around her waist and the other hand holding the phone, looking at the bustling night scene outside the window.
Liang Jian called softly: "Sister."
The other end was silent, with only a slight breathing sound, and suddenly it sounded like a heavy sound. Liang Jian's heart suddenly ached. He really wanted to appear next to her now, hug her, and drive away the heavy weight on her body.
lonely and lonely, and then told her how much he missed her during this period.
"Sister, can you please speak?" There was a hint of pleading in Liang Jian's voice. After the words fell, Liang Jian heard a nasal sound. Liang Jian asked urgently: "Are you crying?"
"No." Hu Xiaoying denied, but Liang Jian still heard the strong nasal voice. Liang Jian felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't put it into words.
Liang Jian originally wanted to ask her what was going on between her and Hua Jianjun. But this sentence that had been lingering in his heart countless times before the call was connected, he couldn't ask at this moment. The only thing he said was: "How have you been lately?"
Okay?"
"Not good." Hu Xiaoying's answer made Liang Jian feel even more uncomfortable. He could not say any words of comfort, nor was he qualified to say any words of comfort.
He was silent, listening to the crying that Hu Xiaoying was trying to hold back. For a long time, he said: "Sister, I'm sorry for you!" After the words fell, there was a wah, and the crying finally got out of control, like a thunder in Liang Jian's ears.
Explosion. Having known Hu Xiaoying for so long, Liang Jian seemed to have never seen Hu Xiaoying lose control of her emotions like this. In addition to being shocked, he felt more pity, guilt, and self-blame.
He stood there, at a loss. After a long time, Hu Xiaoying calmed down again. She said: "This is what I chose at the beginning, and I just suffered it. I can't blame you!" After saying that, she asked again: "How are you doing recently?
"
Liang Jian wanted to say it was okay, but when the words came to his lips, they turned out to be bad.
He paused and finally said the words he had said countless times in his heart: "I miss you."
There was silence on the phone for a long time. After a long time, Hu Xiaoying suddenly laughed, and her laughter could not conceal her sadness. She said: "It's enough to know that you still have me in your heart. It's already late, go to bed early."
Liang Jian actually had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it. Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, he felt more melancholy in his heart. This melancholy was like the rain in the plum rain season in spring.
It's not big but it's so dense that it can't be driven away or blown away, making it very uncomfortable.
For several days after that, this kind of melancholy lingered in my heart and could not go away. Until something happened.
Zhou Yunlong woke up, but he couldn't.
When Liang Jian rushed to the hospital, Governor Zhang and Gao Chenghan were already there. They were in the intensive care unit, and Zhou Yunlong seemed to be talking to them. The Zhou family members sat helplessly in the chairs outside the door, with tears on their faces.
Governor Zhang and Gao Chenghan did not stay in the ward for long. Soon, Hua Jianjun, Ma Chaoqun, Du Mingliang and other deputy governors also arrived. After the group went in to talk to Zhou Yunlong for a few words, they all went their separate ways.
leave.
That night, Zhou Yunlong left. Zhou Yunlong's departure made Governor Zhang issue a strict order to the Provincial Public Security Department, or to Xia Churong, that the perpetrator must be caught. If there was really a conspiracy, then he must do it no matter what.
Uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.
At Zhou Yunlong’s memorial service, many prominent people came, including the heads of several leading companies in Ningzhou. Cao Yongming from Yongcheng Steel also came.
As soon as Cao Yongming came in, he found Liang Jian. Liang Jian was with Gao Chenghan. Cao Yongming greeted Gao Chenghan first, and then asked Liang Jian: "Chairman Liang, could you please take a step to talk?"
Liang Jian wondered what kind of medicine Gao Yongming was selling in his gourd. At this time, Gao Chenghan said: "I'll go over there and have a look. You guys can chat." Gao Chenghan took the initiative to walk away. Liang Jian looked at Cao Yongming and asked: "Mr. Cao, would you like to talk to me?"
What do I say alone?”
Cao Yongming smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard recently that the province will hold a cadres' river activity in the next few days. Not only cadres at all levels are required to participate, but also business leaders are required to participate. Is this the case?
?”
Liang Jian thought that although this matter had not been officially reported, it was not something that needed to be kept secret, so he said: "There was a cadre going down to the river, but the specific situation is not very clear."
"Chairman Liang is so humble." Cao Yongming said with a smile: "Chairman Liang is a celebrity in front of Governor Zhang and is also a consultant on the water control operation. How can he be unclear about this kind of thing? By the way, when will Chairman Liang be free? 18th Floor
Chairman Liang’s room is still waiting for him!”
The 18th floor that Cao Yongming refers to is naturally the 18th floor of the seven-star hotel where the last dinner was held. It is said that the above is a teahouse, which was contracted separately and does not belong to the management of the seven-star hotel. The boss behind the scenes is Beijing
People don't come often. This teahouse is managed by a general manager. Speaking of which, this general manager is also a famous person in Ningzhou City. Liang Jian also has some impressions, and seems to have met him once.
This Cao Yongming is an old fox. He just deliberately said that he wanted to talk to Liang Jian alone and send Gao Chenghan away. In fact, he just wanted to invite Liang Jian to drink tea alone. It seems that he knew that Gao Chenghan was a rock and difficult to conquer, so he wanted to persuade Liang Jian
Work hard. Liang Jian is not stupid, he naturally understands Cao Yongming's psychology, and immediately said: "There have been a lot of things recently, and I may not be able to make time. Otherwise, when I am free later, how about I invite Mr. Cao to have tea?
?I guess I can’t afford it on the 18th floor. I hope Mr. Cao won’t dislike it then!”
Cao Yongming said: "Chairman Liang, why are you so polite? It doesn't matter who you treat. By the way, Xiaoyu said yesterday that he saw your wife. The child is seven or eight months old, right?"
Hearing Cao Yongming mention Xiang Jin and Nishang, Liang Jian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Xiaoyu had never met Xiang Jin before, so how could he recognize Xiang Jin? What's more, Xiang Jin didn't seem to have left the community yesterday. Liang Jian
Jian immediately understood that the meaning of Cao Yongming's words was probably not as simple as the literal meaning. Liang Jian had never been a sick cat, otherwise he would not have reached the position he is today. He looked solemn and asked: "Mr. Cao,
What does this mean?"
Cao Yongming was indeed an old fox. When he saw Liang Jian turning against him, his face remained unchanged and he said: "What can I mean? Don't worry, Chairman Liang, I still know the identity of your wife. Minister Xiang's daughter, even if she is borrowing
Even if I am very brave, I dare not move."
Cao Yongming suddenly made his words clear, and Liang Jian felt a little embarrassed. He calmed down a little and asked, "What does Mr. Cao mean?"
Cao Yongming smiled slightly and said: "Of course I hope Chairman Liang will give me some face, 18th floor."
Liang Jian felt like he was being pressed down by a stone, and felt suffocated. He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Xiang Jin and Nishang, although Cao Yongming said he didn't dare to do anything, the rabbit was still biting when he was anxious. These
Businessman, there were so many ravines in his heart that Liang Jian didn't dare to take risks. In just a moment, he thought a lot in his mind. At the end of his mind, he simply said: "Okay. But these two days are true.
No time."
Cao Yongming replied readily: "Okay, then I will make an appointment with Chairman Liang in two days."
Liang Jian nodded. Cao Yongming smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb Chairman Liang." Seeing Cao Yongming leave, Liang Jian's face turned slightly ugly. This feeling of being held by someone was not good at all.
However, he is not a persimmon that can be manipulated at will. He wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Cao Yongming's gourd?
Two days later, Cao Yongming called him and made an appointment at 8pm on the 18th floor. Liang Jian went back first and looked around the community carefully, but didn't see anything suspicious. However, he always felt something was wrong in his heart.
Uneasy. After thinking about it, he still called Yao Song and Chu Ming.
When he left, Yao Song and Chu Ming had already arrived. To Liang Jian's surprise, Huang Yiting also came together. Huang Yiting said that she came to see her sister-in-law and children. Liang Jian had nothing to say. Yao Songla
He took Liang Jian to the side and explained: "Yiting is fine, so if Yiting and I go up together, we don't have to tell the truth to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry. Chu Ming will let him stay downstairs."
Liang Jian thought, yes. Originally, he had not decided whether to tell the truth to Xiang Jin. He originally wanted Xiang Jin to go to Beijing, but Xiang Jin had made it clear last time that he would not leave him alone in the future.
Although this may sound a bit willful, it is also very warm and touching.
With Yao Song and Chu Ming here, Liang Jian felt a lot more relieved. He drove to the 18th floor. When he got there, it was five minutes before 8 o'clock. Cao Yongming was already there, and there were several strangers present. Liang Jian
I have never met Jian. Cao Yongming introduced them one by one. They are all chairman of several leading companies in Ningzhou.
Liang Jian was a little surprised. He thought it was only Cao Yongming. Even if there were others, it would be Xiaoyu and his wife, or someone from Yongcheng Iron and Steel.
