"Well, it's a good thing that you've come to the city. You've finally left this damn place. It's also a relief for you. As for me, I really don't plan to go to the city to develop. My home is in Nanyang, and I want to stay here, "Lu Yiwei said.
Ma Zhiming saw that Lu Yiwei's eyes were not flustered at all. He said, "Yiwei, even if I beg you, don't give up at this critical moment. Since County Zhang appreciates you, you should work hard. I believe you can make some achievements. I'll handle County Zhang's side. As long as the time is right, I'll definitely bring you here. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Captain Ma. Really, there's no need. I don't have the mood. If I had the mood, I would have left long ago. Why wait until now? "Lu Yiwei continued.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei insisted, Ma Zhiming did not insist and said, "Well, if there's anything, just come to me. I'm still the old Ma Zhiming, still your good brother. No matter what happens in the future, in these five years, you and I are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together, and it will still be the same in the future."
Lu Yiwei squeezed a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, Brother Ma. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today. Brother, don't be a stranger. "
Seeing Lu Yiwei like this, Ma Zhiming's heart was completely relieved these days. He stretched out his fist and punched Lu Yiwei's shoulder.
Lu Yiwei said, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"So soon?"
"Well, the formalities have been completed. Why should I stay here if I don't get out?"
"Well, I'll drive you tomorrow."
"No need. The bureau's car will pick me up tomorrow. You can come to see me when you're free."
When it was time to say goodbye, Lu Yiwei had no hatred in his heart. He was a little reluctant to see Ma Zhiming leave suddenly. He lowered his head with a smile and also punched Ma Zhiming with his fist.
Ma Zhiming said confidently, "Before I leave, brother, I'll give you a piece of advice. I don't care what relationship you used to get on County Zhang's side, but I suggest you don't get involved in their struggle. County Zhang is no match for Liu Kecheng. Back then, County Zhang was powerful, wasn't he? Wasn't he pushed out of Nanyang County by Liu Kecheng? Moreover, County Zhang is not to be, and his background is not strong. He is to be against Liu Kecheng. It is like hitting a stone with an egg. What I mean is that I don't want you to be used as a target. In the end, you will be the one who suffers the most. "
From the day Lu Yiwei promised Zhang Zhiyuan, he had thought of this consequence. He didn't want to sink in a small place, and he didn't want a mediocre person like Liu Kecheng to occupy Nanyang County. Nanyang County needed a person with courage to run the economy instead of fighting with others. He had made up his mind to sacrifice and thought of a way out for his future. He said, "Thank you for your reminder, Brother Ma. Since I've chosen this path, I'm not afraid of anything. As long as Liu Kecheng is not eliminated, Nanyang will never have a chance to rise. It will always carry the burden of being a poor county, which is unfair to the 300,000 people of Nanyang."
Ma Zhiming laughed and said, "I say, Yiwei, is your brain fried? Do you still need to worry about this kind of thing? You think too highly of yourself. Your career is to get married as soon as possible, have a stable job, and wait for my call at any time, okay? "
Lu Yiwei snorted at Ma Zhiming's idea and said, "It is exactly as you think that everyone has been accommodating to Liu Kecheng and growing stronger day by day. You said that County Zhang doesn't have the capital to fight against Liu Kecheng, but I don't think so. County Zhang looks weak, but in fact, there is a fierce spirit in his bones. It is not the time yet. As long as he has the capital to resist, the end of Liu Kecheng will come. Isn't Liu Kecheng's downfall the result that Mayor Chu wants to see? "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was so stubborn, Ma Zhiming felt that there was no need to say more. He threw away the cigarette and said, "Take me home."
When they arrived at the door, Ma Zhiming said before getting off the car, "Do you have anything to say to Mayor Chu? I'll bring it to you. "
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "No."
"Really?"
"Really," Lu Yiwei said, "If there is, tell him that I, Lu Yiwei, kept his promise."
Ma Zhiming did not say anything. He got off the car, waved at Lu Yiwei, and walked straight to his home.
Lu Yiwei did not want to go home, so he drove aimlessly in the county. This time, he did not get into the car and cry like before. Instead, he felt much better. But now he really wanted to find someone to talk to, even if it was to sit together and brag, so that he could vent all the suppressed things in his heart. But after walking around the county, he did not find a suitable person. Li Haidong and Niu Fuyong had returned to Beihe Town, his ex-wife was still in the hospital, and Su Meng was far away in Jiangdong City. He did not have a friend to talk to.
What was a friend? Perhaps in the eyes of a thousand people, there were a thousand standards. Some thought that a friend was a person who suddenly appeared when you needed them most; some thought that a friend was a person who never left you when you were at your lowest; and some thought that a friend was a person who followed you from childhood to adulthood. Perhaps such a friend had appeared at every stage of a person's life, but in the end, they would still leave you. Although people were part of society, they were destined to be lonely. When lonely, they longed for friends, but at this moment, where were the friends? The same was true of Lu Yiwei's state of mind at this time.
Before he knew it, Lu Yiwei drove to the vicinity of Shi Xiaoman's house. During the time he spent with Shi Xiaoman, Lu Yiwei saw the truth in this woman. She was not pretentious, not pretentious, and there was no pressure to get along with her. It was quite relaxing. On the contrary, whether it was with his girlfriend, Su Meng, or with his ex-wife, Li Shu-man, he felt that there was a stone on his chest, and it was so oppressive that he could not breathe.
The reason was that there was an invisible hand behind the two women, Su Meng and Li Shu-man, controlling his actions and thoughts. He had no choice but to make some choices that went against his wishes. This kind of life was too painful. He did not even dare to imagine his life after marrying Su Meng. After all, they were not living in the same pot. Cold eyes, ridicule, and disdain would come one after another.
Men needed dignity. Not only did they need to live with dignity in society, they also needed to have dignity at home. But in Su Meng's house, how could Lu Yiwei find dignity? It was probably impossible to count on her father to change his mind.
If he could marry a woman like Shi Xiaoman, who came from a poor family, on the contrary, his life would be very easy, and he would not need to consider too many complicated problems. He was now fantasizing how good it would be if Shi Xiaoman was not married!
He did not know why, but there was something special about Shi Xiaoman that attracted Lu Yiwei. Was it her appearance? Although she was not as breathtakingly beautiful as Su Meng, her facial features were regular. If you sat face to face with her, you would find that Shi Xiaoman was the kind of woman who was very pleasant to look at. No matter how long you looked at her, you would not feel bored. Was it her personality? Su Meng's personality was straightforward, and she had a small temper. But Shi Xiaoman was different. She was as calm as a lake. Even if she encountered a big problem, she would not cause any ripples. She was very gentle. Was it her attitude towards life? The last time he went to eat at her house, Shi Xiaoman took care of him like a good wife and mother. It made Lu Yiwei truly feel the warmth of home. This was what he longed for, and what he needed.
Lu Yiwei's heart had already floated to Shi Xiaoman's heart along with his thoughts. Lu Yiwei rolled down the window and stuck his head out. He observed that the lights in Shi Xiaoman's house were still on. His restless heart could not help but thump. Shi Xiaoman's smile and frown clearly appeared in front of him. How he wanted to jump out of the car and rush into the room. Even if it was just a gentle hug, he would feel satisfied.
Lu Yiwei lit a cigarette and leaned against the window. He stared unblinkingly at the faint light dancing in the dark night sky. It was like a dancing musical note, like the twinkling of stars. Against the backdrop of the boundless white snow, it was like a drunken and beautiful smiling face, smiling at him. Lu Yiwei took two or three puffs of the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt away. He took out his phone, intending to text Shi Xiaoman.
"Are you asleep?" Lu Yiwei finished editing and found Shi Xiaoman's phone number. He was about to press the send button, but his reason overcame his inner demons and he deleted all the messages. He quickly closed his phone, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.
After a moment, Lu Yiwei was a little unwilling to give up. He turned on his phone again to confirm the time. It was 9: 34. At this time, most families were preparing to wash up and go to bed. He did not care about this and pressed the dial button.
