Under the enlightenment of Qiu Yingxue, Lu Yiwei's love for life and passion for literature were awakened. He said, "You are now …"
Qiu Yingxue smiled, "I am a member of China Writers' Association, a member of China Prose Association, a special writer of Xijiang Literature, a special consultant of Nanzhou Literature …"
A series of titles made Lu Yiwei feel like he was seeing the world for the first time. He gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect you to have another side. It's amazing."
"You can do it too. It's just that you don't want to."
As the conversation went deeper, Qiu Yingxue became more and more open. She looked around and said in high spirits, "Tagore has a famous saying.
The setting sun said, "Who will take over my work after I go down?" Wa Deng replied, "I am willing to do my best." The vitality of literature flows in the bones. Reading makes people wise and can settle the traces of time. When you are unhappy, hold a book, listen to music, and read quietly. You will find that there is nothing you can't forget. What do you usually read? "
"Uh … I read documents …"
"Other than that."
"Uh … does the newspaper count?"
Qiu Yingxue frowned and said, "How can the newspaper be equal to literature? You should read more famous books. For example, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Mishima Yukio. By the way, I've been studying Japanese literature recently. Have you heard of Izumi Kōhana? She's Ozaki Akiba's favorite disciple. Her works spanned across three eras: Meiji, Taisho, and Showa. Her writing style advocated the aesthetics of material sorrow. Her writing style was gorgeous, romantic, and mysterious. Her writing style greatly influenced Natsume Soseki, Kawabata Yasunari, and Dazai Osamu. There is also Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Murakami Haruki … "
Hearing a bunch of familiar names, Lu Yiwei was like a frog at the bottom of a well. Nominally, he graduated from Chinese Language and Literature, but the books he had read were limited to those famous masterpieces. After starting work, he rarely calmed down to read, let alone anything else.
Qiu Yingxue realized that she said too much. After all, the other party was a leader. She smoothed her hair and said, "Sorry, I may have said too much."
"It's okay. Listening to you is also a learning process."
Qiu Yingxue did seem a little excited tonight. Was it because of the coffee? She wasn't like this in the past. She was reticent and inarticulate. When she had nothing to do, she was used to locking herself in the office and rarely took the initiative to interact with others. As a result, his subordinates were very afraid of him, thinking that disciplinary officers were like this. Tonight, he was the complete opposite, revealing his true nature. Perhaps, this was the real her.
For a moment, there was an awkward silence. Qiu Yingxue picked up her coffee cup to hide her momentary uneasiness. Lu Yiwei habitually took out a cigarette, but when he saw her, he took it back.
"Go ahead, I don't mind."
"Forget it, it's best not to smoke in front of a lady. It's ungentlemanly."
Qiu Yingxue laughed and said, "Doesn't Fan Chunfang let you smoke at home?"
"Uh … I don't think so. I smoke in the study, and she and the kid are in the bedroom. We don't disturb each other."
Unknowingly, Lu Yiwei had revealed his own privacy. Qiu Yingxue's sensitive sense of smell captured this important information. He pursed his lips and said, "Don't you guys talk about literature at home?"
Lu Yiwei looked at the ceiling and said, "I don't think so. I'm busy with work, and it's late when I go home every night. And she has to take care of the kid, go to work, and is very busy. Moreover, she doesn't seem to like studying very much. Apart from daily necessities, she basically doesn't talk about work, let alone romance. "
"Hehe."
Qiu Yingxue covered her mouth and laughed. "Married people are all like this. To be honest, I didn't expect the two of you to be together. "
"Surprised?"
Qiu Yingxue nodded.
Lu Yiwei himself felt very surprised, but some things were destined. Former subordinates, former classmates, seemingly unrelated parallel lines, in the end, actually met together.
Qiu Yingxue asked again, "Are you happy?"
Lu Yiwei stared at her, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the cigarette. He lit it and said, "Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just curious."
"It's okay. You're already a grown-up. What's the point of talking about happiness? It's all for the sake of family and career. Life is just like that. It's definitely not realistic to be romantic and lovey-dovey every day. Quarrels and quarrels are common. If it's peaceful, then perhaps there really will be a problem, right? "
Qiu Yingxue suddenly froze, and her smile disappeared. When she picked up the coffee cup again, it was empty. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei got up and said, "I'll make you another cup?"
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he took the cup and was about to make it. After thinking for a while, he turned back and said, "Let's drink plain water. I don't want to sleep tonight after drinking so much."
"Coffee, I'm used to it."
She told the story behind it in a low tone. Lu Yiwei respected her choice, took the freshly brewed coffee, and sat there quietly looking at her.
Qiu Yingxue turned back and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lu Yiwei looked away and said with a faint smile, "Nothing, there's only the two of us in the room. If I don't look at you, who else would I look at?"
Qiu Yingxue squeezed out a bitter smile and said with her head lowered, "You must want to ask me if I'm happy, right?"
Lu Yiwei spread out his hands and said, "I don't want to pry into other people's privacy."
Qiu Yingxue took a deep breath and said, "There's no harm in saying it. To be honest, I'm not happy … "
Before she finished, Lu Yiwei's phone rang. She looked at it and saw it was Fan Chunfang. She quickly got up and said softly, "Sorry, I need to take this call." After saying that, she turned into the bedroom and closed the door.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yiwei walked out, sat down, and said, "Continue."
After a period of awkward silence, Qiu Yingxue's high mood had calmed down, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about it."
"Oh."
After a moment of silence, Qiu Yingxue adjusted her mood and said, "Oh right, I have a grasp of Xue Zhiqiang's situation. Through a lot of investigations, this person embezzled more than 200,000 yuan from Hongqi Village for gambling. When Hongqi Village Middle School was being built, he received more than 100,000 yuan as a rebate. He personally invested in New Oriental Entertainment City and kept mistresses outside. The money earned from gambling was used for his mistresses' expenses, and he often took them out to play. Just after Chinese New Year, he went to Hainan with his mistress, who was teaching at No.1 Middle School. We have already obtained the photos, and we can start an investigation now. "
Lu Yiwei was shocked and even angrier when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and said, "The facts are conclusive?"
