Chapter 328: Do good deeds without worrying about the future
In the small supermarket diagonally across from the city bank, Tang Chao was sitting on a pony at the door, looking at the busy streets without focus. The overall image looked a bit like an export salesman, the kind who walked around with a backpack full of goods.
As a salesperson trying his luck in various street shops and office buildings, this is actually how he introduced himself to the supermarket owner who called the police when Xie Wei was kidnapped.
I was holding a popsicle in my hand. Of course I bought it from the supermarket. I was biting every bite. Although it was the cheapest old popsicle, I still had a good relationship with the kind-hearted boss, so there was
The little ponytail under the buttocks.
Not to mention, although the season has passed, the popsicles are still as delicious as ever, and the wooden sticks are full of flavor.
In the field of vision, there was a small car first, and a few minutes later, a dark brown SUV also left.
After waiting for a while, that is, when he had finished eating all the old popsicles, Tang Chao stood up, threw the stick into the trash can next to the door, turned back into the store and greeted the boss, returned the little Maza, and then clapped his hands.
, walked out of the door, looked at the city bank building across the road, turned around and walked towards the bus stop not far away.
Why does it appear here? Of course it is because I was bored looking at the store and was resting quietly, so I came out to wander around and relax. This is very reasonable, isn't it? Or, what do you think it is?
On the bus back, Tang Chao received a call from Xie Wei.
"...Oh, I have something to do. I'm on the bus, so it's a little noisy. What's the matter...I'm on a temporary business trip for a few days? Okay, I understand. I'll take Tangdou back to Jiangyue this weekend.
Mansion… um um, okay, bye…”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Chao pondered for a while and shook his head slightly.
Xie Wei on the other end of the phone has undoubtedly received the news, and may have been mentally prepared for this. After all, among the younger generation of the Xie family, she is the most outstanding one. And in the current situation, being outstanding and standing out are not the same.
difference.
Her tone on the phone was as calm as ever, but of course there was some hesitation in her attitude. She was vaguely talking about how many days the business trip would be. She probably didn't know exactly how long she would be on the business trip. It wasn't that she was guilty of treason or anything like that.
You really can’t tell until it’s over.
It is worth mentioning that the Tang Dynasty did not intend to do anything because of this. On the one hand, it was meaningless, and he could not take her across the ocean. On the other hand, and the main reason, the Tang Dynasty had a strong interest in Xie Wei.
Enough confidence.
Xie Wei is not Xie Zhengying or Xie Zhenghua. I dare not say that she has not provided the family with the convenience of her position at all, but that is at least within the scope allowed by the rules. From another perspective, it is business affairs, and even shows a certain degree of indifference.
The Xie family's secretive attitude of avoiding suspicion is also a well-known thing in the Xie family. For example, in the department under her direct leadership, none of the subordinate employees are from the Xie family. This situation has undoubtedly attracted a lot of criticism within the family, and she does not
Mind you, over time, even Tang Chao, an outsider who had never been to the Xie family's old house a few times, could hear a few comments and complaints similar to her's inhumane nature.
Of course, it should be noted that the prerequisite for not planning to do anything is that everything should be done in accordance with the rules. If anyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make extravagant moves, then the Tang Dynasty would not mind taking them all and returning them in full...
With this thought in mind, the bus swayed to the bus stop near the piano store, stepped off, and looked at the entrance of the piano store from a distance, and unexpectedly saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure.
Familiar because of the person, unfamiliar because of the way she is dressed. She is not wearing her usual work shirt and trousers, but instead wears canvas shoes, crisp blue and white jeans, and a beige single windbreaker with a lock on her upper body.
He opened the glass door, raised his hand on his forehead, and peered inside, as if he had just arrived.
Tang Chao was slightly startled. He hadn't seen him for a while. To be precise, he hadn't seen him since the report came out...
At the same time, Xie Wei also followed the request and came to a guest house near a certain supervision department, in the name of cooperating with the investigation. However, when the clerk guided her down to a certain room, she looked at Zong Qing who was sitting there and stood up to greet him when he heard the noise.
I couldn't help but be stunned,
"Captain Zong?"
"Haha, long time no see, Ms. Xie, please sit down and have something to drink?" Zong Qing showed some enthusiasm.
Xie Wei subconsciously declined: "No, thank you."
"Let's drink some. You know, according to the process, we may spend some time chatting. Well, how about mineral water?"
Xie Wei thought for a while and did not refuse the kindness again. She nodded her thanks and asked the waiter to bring water, and then they sat down across the table.
"Actually, Ms. Xie, you don't have to come here so quickly." Zong Qing's smile was a little helpless. He had already run around before and originally planned to take a breather and return to the base. However, he learned the news on the way and had to rush over again, which was a bit embarrassing. ... shook his head slightly, "I believe the notification call was very detailed. You can arrange your work first, find a place to have dinner after get off work, and then choose a time to come over. That way there won't be any bad rumors. Influence."
Xie Wei looked calm, "It doesn't matter, the work matters have been arranged before, and other things have no big impact. I didn't expect to see the Zong team here..." Looking at Zong Qing, he couldn't help but laugh at himself and shook his head, "Look
The problem I have is really not a small one, it is serious enough that the clan team needs to personally take action."
"Ha, I misunderstood, this is not within the scope of our responsibilities." Zong Qing smiled and waved his hands, winking, "It was just a coincidence. I happened to be here to do something nearby, and after hearing about it, I decided to come over and sit down.
...That's all, after all, we are considered acquaintances... Well, I'm very sorry about Mayor Xie."
"Thank you, big brother's matter..." After a pause, Xie Wei slowly shook her head, "I believe the organization will give a fair verdict."
"Of course, please trust the organization. In addition, I have heard some miscellaneous rumors, I don't know whether they are true or not, but the progress there seems to be pretty good... Well, the progress may not be as you wish." Zong Qingnao
He scratched his head and said cryptically, it wasn't considered a leak, after all, the situation was obvious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xie Wei nodded slightly, with lowered eyebrows: "I know, I know..." She did know something, but at that time, after the accident, that is, at that time,
She just learned some inside information about her eldest brother's accident from her family elders, including but not limited to using resources and influence to open the door to Xie Zhenghua's real estate company...
"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else. By the way, the last meeting was in a hurry. I didn't have time to thank you for pointing out the location of the dangerous building in the western suburbs. You know, this is really important to us.
…”
The next topic was rather casual and not very nutritious. At least it had nothing to do with the reason why Xie Wei came over. It was just a casual chat, and it didn’t last long. It took about ten minutes before Zong Qing said goodbye and watched her actions.
It seems that Pai just decided to come here on the spur of the moment.
As for the actual internal situation, I am afraid that only Zong Qing himself knows. Then the personnel from the supervision department came in and began to formally inquire...
…
In Tang Yun Qin Xie, Tang Chao looked at the two bottles of canned beer placed on the cashier counter, his eyes twitching, and he looked at Guo Mulan, who seemed a little different but still the same as before: "So, you were fired?
"
"What do you mean, I took the initiative to resign, okay!" Guo Mulan corrected with dissatisfaction, "I will leave tomorrow, go to another place to study and recharge for a while, and come back to prepare for the prosecutor's office... So this is considered practicing wine, why?
You have to give me some face, right?" He opened the tab and pushed a can of beer over.
Tsk, if you guessed it right, this should be the decision of Guo Mulan's family. After such a big news, she should go out to avoid the limelight. In addition, the reporters would definitely not dare to let her stay here anymore, but then again
, if she is really admitted to the prosecutor's office, isn't this an enhancement and upgrade... Guessing this in his heart, on the surface Tang Chao shook his head decisively: "If you don't give it, you won't never come back. For this reason
It’s a bit far-fetched.”
"Can you speak human language? What do you mean..." Guo Mulan glared angrily, but then she didn't jump as soon as she was teased like before. She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Then let's change the reason. Well, I still remember.
It was around this time last year, did we have that drink?"
"I don't remember." Tang Chao shook his head again without thinking. This was naturally a lie. He still remembered that time he punched a certain veteran killer after drinking. Unfortunately, he didn't beat him to death. Of course, he still died in the end.
"Don't make trouble." Guo Mulan was already lost in memories and smiled, "Speaking of it, time flies really fast. One year has passed in a flash. I still remember that I was really depressed at that time. You comforted me.
Coming..."
Tang Chao's face was expressionless: "Then you must have drunk too much."
"I drank too much and that happened later. No, could you please stop interrupting?" Finally, Guo Mulan couldn't bear it anymore and raised her fist as a warning.
Tang Chao shrugged noncommittally.
"Really, your thoughts have been disrupted by you. What did I want to say... Well, now that I think about my experience this year, it was really too childish for me to say that my surname was even the King of Heaven.
Yes, it’s too simple to think about... Fortunately, it’s been a fluke so far, although the results have still been exploited..."
I don’t know if someone really disrupted her thoughts, or if Guo Mulan’s own thoughts were quite messy, or if she had too many things to say and seemed a bit messy.
"Ha, you don't know this, right? My report is not that influential, and the follow-up is the key. Those people are much better than me. They need evidence, data, and sensationalism.
, you can still make it up when it has nothing to do with it, exaggerate it in any way, make it attractive in any way, it looks like it is made by professionals, and there must be premeditation behind it... Originally I thought I should be upset and frustrated, just like the above
That was the first time, but I felt relieved after thinking about it. A year ago, I was used as a gunman and published a report. A year later, I published the report first and then was exploited. Is this considered an improvement? Ha..."
Shaking his head and laughing, "Just kidding, actually these don't matter. I just report the facts objectively. This is also my responsibility, that's all. As for what other people think, I can't control it, and I don't worry about it... My dad
I was scolded so badly because of this, but what he said unintentionally at the end seemed quite reasonable to me, but do good deeds without asking about the future... But do good deeds without asking about the future... What do you think?"
Tang Chao raised his eyebrows. Looking at Guo Mulan, who was still full of energy and heroic spirit in front of him, he finally realized that there was something different since they met just now. It was that the person in front of him had a calmer and firmer look in his eyes.
of brilliance.
This has evolved independently... Okay, I can figure it out. Although Guo Mulan mentioned this year's experience, he only mentioned it in one sentence, but what exactly happened in it and what kind of dilemmas he faced, I think about it.
It's not that simple. It can be seen from the accidental encounter next to the construction site that he was chased by more than a dozen Sanjiang Gang members.
It has to be said that despite the fact that the Tang Dynasty only took two actions, this person is still alive and kicking until now, and he is really lucky.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." Looking at Tang Chao, who seemed to be in a daze, Guo Mulan waved her palms in dissatisfaction.
He slapped it away casually, "You asked me not to interrupt... Okay, okay, I think, well, you have finally matured, it's not easy!" Nodding, with an emotional expression, Tang Chao looked at his unlucky child.
The grown-up old man looks very happy.
The heroic eyebrows instantly rose, but then she endured it. Guo Mulan grabbed the can of beer and gestured: "Similar things, similar situation. Last time we drank white, this time we drank beer, it can be said that there is a beginning and an end.
, this reason is enough!"
Tang Chao thought for a while, then reluctantly picked up the beer can: "Okay, for the sake of the saying "Do good deeds and don't worry about your future, come here."
"Ha!" Guo Mulan laughed and clinked the glasses, and drank it down with a rather heroic head. In about ten seconds, she drank the entire can of beer. She raised her hand to wipe the drink from the corner of her mouth, "It's great."
--Well?"
His eyes widened and he looked at the beer cans on the cashier counter in disbelief. He moved his gaze upwards and looked at Tang Chao, who looked calm. He suddenly became angry: "It's not you, can you? I've finished drinking it. Look,
Can’t move?!”
"I took a drink. One sip."
"..."
Squeaking, the empty wine can twisted and deformed in Guo Mulan's hands. Tang Chao looked innocent, as if he had just understood something, and suddenly spread his hands: "You didn't say you drank it all in one go."
"I……"
"It doesn't matter now. Drinking is about fate, and now the fate is gone." He simply interrupted, the old god of the Tang Dynasty was here.
Taking a deep breath, "Okay! Okay! Okay!" Bang, Guo Mulan threw away the beer can, reached into her windbreaker pocket and took out a folded newspaper. It was gray and had a strong smell of ink. It should be the next issue of Zhang.
The sample newspaper was opened, pointing to the right, tapping the paper with your fingers, and it made an empty sound.
Tang Chao lowered his head and glanced over, and couldn't help but be startled. It was an advertisement for Tang Yunqin Pavilion. The photos inside were vaguely taken by Guo Mulan last time. The layout was quite exquisite, occupying the entire page. She still remembered it.
thing……
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Those bastards at the TV station want me to get out as soon as possible, especially the bald editor-in-chief, who almost knelt down and begged me... This is my last report, and it is also one of the conditions for my resignation. Is this fate enough?"
Before he finished speaking, the beer on the table magically disappeared, and he raised his head like a whale and swallowed it. In just a few seconds, before Guo Mulan could react, the empty wine can crunched into a ball and landed on the cashier table with a click.
Bullet.
With a thumbs up, Tang Chao said solemnly: "The boss is great! The boss has a bright future!"
