Because he still had something to do, Liang Jian did not stay at home for long, and quickly went out to meet Gao Chenghan in a small talk, and then the Coaster driver still took them to the appointed place.
Originally, we planned to have dinner. But Professor Hao had other arrangements for dinner and had something to do tomorrow, so we had to arrange the meeting at this time.
Professor Hao is a little different in reality than on TV. Maybe it’s because of the lack of spotlight, and he is more ordinary. With his slightly bald head and slightly fat body, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man with some money.
Next to him, there was a woman who looked about the same age as Liang Jian and the others. When Xiaoyu saw her, she called her teacher. Only then did Liang Jian and the others realize that this woman should be Professor Hao's wife.
After meeting each other, they each sat down. Professor Hao's wife, who was also Xiaoyu's wife, took the initiative to pull Xiaoyu out, leaving the space for the three men.
Gao Chenghan got straight to the point and put forward the purpose of their visit. He also mentioned a few requirements that need to be fulfilled if Professor Hao agrees.
Although Professor Hao looks ordinary, he may have interacted with people in this circle a lot, so when he speaks, there is still some official flavor.
He said: "It is my duty to serve the government and the country. But, you see, your time is so tight and you have to stay in Jiangzhong for a period of time. I don't have time to make arrangements and I can't get away."
ah."
The implication was that he disagreed. Gao Chenghan was not very surprised, he said: "Well, you think about it first, and I will make arrangements here to see if the time can be extended later.
"
Professor Hao nodded in agreement. But Liang Jian knew that this matter was basically impossible. Liang Jian thought, since he has come here, the person who mobilized troops cannot be in vain. Even if he cannot be brought back,
You have to bring something else useful back home to make this trip worthwhile.
Fortunately, Liang Jian was prepared. A stack of information escaped from the bag he brought. This information was prepared by Liang Jian before his accident, and part of it was about the water environment investigation reports of various cities in Jiangzhong Province.
Liang Jian pulled out this part, pushed it in front of Professor Hao, and said: "This is part of the water environment information of Jiangzhong Province. Could you please Professor Hao to take a look at it and give me some professional suggestions?"
Professor Hao picked it up and turned it over. Liang Jian found that when he was reading the information, he was still very serious. He looked like a dedicated scholar, and the official tone when he spoke was also covered up by this concentration.
Professor Hao watched for about thirty minutes. Liang Jian and Gao Chenghan also waited patiently. Even when drinking tea, they deliberately lowered their voices.
Finally, Professor Hao put down the information and raised his head. Liang Jian looked at him, and the latter sighed: "It seems that the problem of the water environment in the river is more serious than I thought!"
Liang Jian asked: "Professor Hao, do you have any good suggestions?"
Gao Chenghan also looked at Professor Hao with some expectation. Professor Hao thought for a moment and said: "It's hard to say. After all, it is difficult to get a result through a few chapters of photos and some general data. This water environment management
It is quite complicated. It needs to be comprehensively considered based on the actual water quality and the surrounding environment, and cannot be generalized." At this point, Professor Hao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to spare the time.
. But my wife does. Don’t worry, although my wife is not as well-known as me externally, she is definitely not worse than me professionally. To be honest, I am not afraid of your jokes. Many of my published papers have to go through her.
It will be published only if it is properly checked.”
Gao Chenghan was slightly surprised and asked: "You mean, let your wife go to the river to help us?"
Professor Hao nodded and said: "In this case, I will discuss a specific plan with her later and then inform you. Monday, do you think it is okay?"
Neither Liang Jian nor Gao Chenghan expected that things would take such a turn, so they naturally agreed. Because Professor Hao still had something to do, they parted ways after the matter was settled.
Liang Jian first asked the driver to take Gao Chenghan and Xiaoyu to the hotel, and then returned to the villa area. As for Old Tang, he did not see him at the hotel. Li Yuanli was lying down, taking pictures of Liang Dongfang and Mrs. Gao.
Liang Jian made an agreement with them to go out for a walk with them tomorrow.
When they got home, Xiang's father had already returned. He must have received the news that Xiang Jin and the others were back, so he came back early. After not seeing each other for a while, Xiang's father looked the same as before, except that he had more gray hair on his temples.
When Liang Jian went in, Xiang's father was holding Nishang and teasing him. Strangely enough, the little guy who was born at home was held in his arms by his grandfather, but he didn't feel strange at all. A pair of eyes looked at him closely.
Xiang's father kept talking and teasing her, and occasionally muttered something in response.
After Liang Jian entered, Xiang's father raised his head and glanced at him. Then, while continuing to tease Nishang, he asked him: "How did things go?"
Liang Jian's purpose of coming this time has been told to Xiang's father in advance. Liang Jian said: "Professor Hao doesn't have time, but his wife will go to Jiangzhong."
Father Xiang nodded and said, "His wife is pretty good."
At this time, Xiang Jin went to hug Nishang, and Xiang's father handed it over. Then Xiang Jin hugged Nishang and went upstairs. Father Xiang and Liang Jian were left in the living room downstairs. Liang Jian knew that Father Xiang had something to say.
You have to tell yourself.
The first question asked by Xiang's father was how was his health, and Liang Jian answered truthfully.
Then, Xiang's father asked how his work was going. Liang Jian said: "It's not bad, but I won't be working for a while. I need some time to get familiar with the work content during this period."
Father Xiang nodded and suddenly said: "You work in the Women's Federation, and you should have encountered many cases of marital infidelity and asked the government to help mediate, right?"
Liang Jian was stunned. He didn't know why Xiang's father suddenly said such a sentence. But he still answered honestly: "I have encountered it before."
Father Xiang asked again: "In general, should you advise them to make peace or to disperse?"
When speaking, there was no emotion on Father Xiang's face, and his body was lazily relaxing on the sofa, as if two brothers were chatting. But Liang Jian knew that this was definitely not a chat. What exactly did Father Xiang want to ask?
Liang Jian couldn't guess at all, but he couldn't help but answer. He had to answer truthfully: "It depends on the situation, but generally we will persuade you to make peace. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage."
After hearing this, Father Xiang said a good word. When the good word came out, Father Xiang's eyes suddenly became sharp. Liang Jian's heart suddenly suddenly realized something.
A sudden chill came over him. Could it be that Father Xiang knew about what happened between him and Hu Xiaoying? Now he was planning to come to investigate?
Liang Jian did not guess that Xiang's father did know about the affair between him and Hu Xiaoying. Xiang's father did not take the photos in front of Liang Jian, but he clearly told Liang Jian that someone sent the ambiguous photos of him and Hu Xiaoying to his personal
In the mailbox.
Anyone who knows Minister Xiang's private mailbox must not be an ordinary person.
Liang Jian had no intention of guessing who it would be. He was anxiously waiting for Xiang's father's thunderous anger. However, the anger did not subside for a long time. After a while, Xiang's father said: "I will give you a chance, you can explain."
Liang Jian sat there, struggling endlessly in his heart. If he told the truth today, then his relationship with Hu Xiaoying and Xiang Jin must have an outcome. What he didn't want to face, today he finally had to force
Faced him.
Liang Jian has never been a coward, but in this matter, he became a coward, even carrying the shackles of morality. Rather than saying that he was unable to make a choice because of love, perhaps it was more precisely because of his selfishness as a man.
.
Liang Jian spent a minute to give himself a buffer. Xiang's father also waited patiently, as if he was sure that Liang Jian would give him an explanation. And Liang Jian did not disappoint him.
Liang Jian briefly told what happened between him and Hu Xiaoying. But he also lied. He did not tell Xiang's father that his marriage to Xiang Jin was partly due to Hu Xiaoying's promotion. He also did not tell Xiang's father.
Xiang's father, after marrying Xiang Jin, he had a close relationship with Hu Xiaoying.
Some lies are necessary, but they are not kind. Liang Jian felt that he was not qualified to use the word kind. After hearing this, Father Xiang was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Have you made a decision now between Hu Xiaoying and my daughter?
?”
Liang Jian was a little surprised. He looked at Xiang's father, thinking that he might propose a divorce between Liang Jian and Xiang Jin. Xiang's father seemed to see Liang Jian's surprise and explained: "I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage."
.This is what you just said. Moreover, Xiang Jin is not stupid. Do you think she can't see this about you? Since she is unwilling to expose you, it means that she still hopes to continue with you. So.
As a father, I can only support her. Although in this matter, I just want to beat you up and then kick you out of here."
Liang Jian was very surprised when he heard Xiang's father mention that Xiang Jin might have figured it out a long time ago. He recalled the previous times, the only times Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying met, and immediately felt something was different.
.Maybe he was distracted by Hu Xiaoying at the time, so he didn't pay attention. At the same time, he also discovered something. Basically, whenever he and Hu Xiaoying met secretly, Xiang Jin would text him or call him. It seemed to be a reminder.
He, he is a family man.
Liang Jian couldn't help but raise his head and glance upstairs. There was no figure of Xiang Jin in the shadow at the top of the stairs. Liang Jian thought, either he was too stupid or Xiang Jin was too smart. He felt a little complicated in his heart, not just guilt, but
There are still some indescribable feelings.
Father Xiang asked: "Have you thought about it?"
Liang Jian came to his senses and nodded: "Think about it. I will handle the relationship with Comrade Hu Xiaoying, and then take good care of Xiang Jin and Nishang."
Father Xiang nodded and said, "I will take this sentence as a promise. Men should keep their promises. Okay, you go up and accompany Xiang Jin."
Liang Jian nodded. He stood up and walked towards the stairs. After walking a few steps, Xiang's father suddenly stopped him again. Xiang's father said: "Liang Jian, I don't know what you young people think about marriage. But in the
In the eyes of our older generation, marriage is a lifelong matter. That piece of paper is not only a witness of love, but also a responsibility. You are not only a husband now, but also a father. I hope you will not do anything else in the future.
, think about these two identities first."
Liang Jian nodded. After walking up the stairs and completely out of Xiang's father's sight, Liang Jian dared to relax his tense body. Only then did he realize that his back was wet with cold sweat.
He stood in the darkness for five minutes. In addition to giving himself some time to calm down, these five minutes also served as a memorial to his relationship that, although not earth-shattering, was still heartbreaking.
At this point, the relationship between him and Hu Xiaoying finally came to an end in his heart.
Perhaps, emotionally, he won't let go soon. But he finally decided to let go. This is a starting point and an end point.
