As the car sped along the highway, they saw Zhang Zhiyuan sleeping soundly. Lu Yiwei couldn't stop yawning. He hadn't slept well the night before.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan was sleeping, his mind was still active, thinking about all kinds of things. Everyone envied being an official, but when you reached that position, other than your own body, everything else was occupied by all kinds of affairs.
When they were about to reach the service station, Zhang Zhiyuan magically made a decision. He closed his eyes and said, "Stop at the service station in front."
Lu Yiwei drove off the highway and entered the service station. Zhang Zhiyuan went to the toilet, while Lu Yiwei ran into the restaurant and bought some soup dumplings and hot soy milk. He then carefully made a cup of hot tea and put everything in the car. After Zhang Zhiyuan got into the car, he wolfed down the buns.
He felt refreshed after replenishing his energy. When they were on the road again, Zhang Zhiyuan was in high spirits. He held a cup of water and drank it contentedly.
"Yiwei, since Elder Cai used to be your professor, you should visit her more often in the future. You can't cut off this relationship. You should know that Elder Cai is Secretary Huang's favorite now. Her words are more effective than anyone else's, "Zhang Zhiyuan kindly reminded.
"Mhm." Lu Yiwei nodded.
After Tan Lao stopped meddling in politics, Zhang Zhiyuan worked hard to find a new backer. After unremitting efforts, he finally hitched a ride on Cai Runnian's boat. Looking for a backer didn't necessarily mean getting promoted or getting rich. Seeing that he was isolated and helpless in the Northern Province, and Yang Derong was provoking him everywhere in Nanyang, if he didn't have someone to support him, he would be humiliated by everyone standing on his head.
"What did Elder Cai talk to you about last night?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked jealously. After all, everyone present last night had a private conversation with Cai Runnian, except for Zhang Zhiyuan. It was not Cai Runnian's fault. After all, it was their first meeting, and there was still a long way to go.
This was a very thorny problem. Elder Cai obviously didn't want anyone else to know about this. If she told Zhang Zhiyuan, would it still be a secret? But if he didn't say it, there would be no trust between the two of them.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was in a dilemma, Zhang Zhiyuan did not ask further. He said, "I met with Dean Deng last night. Your brother-in-law's case should not be a big problem. I will call the Gu Chuan County Court's Dean later to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Thank you, Secretary Zhang." Lu Yiwei said, "How much did you spend last night? I will pay you later."
"What are you talking about!" Zhang Zhiyuan covered the cup and placed it on the cup holder. "Let's not talk about money in the future. If we do, how much should I give you?"
Lu Yiwei quickly kept quiet and focused on driving.
After a while, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Didn't you have dinner with Xiao Zhixiong yesterday? How was it? Did work go well? "
Since Zhang Zhiyuan mentioned it, Lu Yiwei simply told him the truth. Zhang Zhiyuan was so angry that he hit the seat and said, "Xu Wannian, I gave him face but he didn't want it. Don't blame me for making things difficult for him. Tell him to come see me on Monday."
"Okay!" Lu Yiwei had never seen Zhang Zhiyuan swear like this. It seemed that he was really angry.
"No!" Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly changed his mind. "Don't let him see me. I don't want to see him. Let Xiao Zhixiong contact Luo Zhiqing and go to the Public Security Bureau to make a record. The original seal will be invalid and a new one will be engraved. To be on the safe side, let him engrave the organization code certificate on the seal. You want to use the seal to talk? You are rebelling! What else? "
Lu Yiwei took the opportunity to mention the matter of Song Yong. "Director Xiao is simple and honest, but his means are too soft. Not to mention others, even the internal departments are not convinced. His ability to carry out the work has obviously declined. Director Xiao's character is the same. It's impossible to change it. I think if we give him a slightly stronger deputy, the effect may be different. "
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and agreed with Lu Yiwei. "Do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
"Song Yong from the Urban Construction Bureau."
"Song Yong?" Zhang Zhiyuan tried hard to remember this person. After a while, he said, "The one who quarreled with you on the street last time?"
"Yes."
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't seem to be interested in him. He also had some concerns. "It's not a bad idea to have a strong deputy. If Xiao Zhixiong can't control him, won't it be inviting a wolf into the house? Besides, are you sure you can use this person? "
Lu Yiwei didn't dare to guarantee anything. "Although Song Yong and I used to quarrel, we are good brothers now. I have a certain understanding of him. He used to be at loggerheads with Xu Wannian's brother-in-law, Zhao Zhigang, so he also has a grudge with Xu Wannian. They can't be together. As for whether Xiao Zhixiong can control him, I can't guarantee that. But looking at the big picture, we can only take a gamble. "
Zhang Zhiyuan fell into deep thought. "Is there no other choice?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
Zhang Zhiyuan made up his mind. "Fine, we'll do as you say. You can talk to him in my name. If he agrees, you can continue immediately. There's no need to report to me. I'll talk to him about Dongsen. "
The car soon arrived at Bei Zhou City. When Zhang Zhiyuan was about to get out of the car, Lu Yiwei suddenly said, "Secretary Zhang, Elder Cai accidentally revealed a little secret to me when we talked. She said that he likes celebrities' calligraphy and paintings …"
Zhang Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time, then simply said "Got it" and got out of the car.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Zhiyuan, Lu Yiwei went straight to the seafood market, bought Xia Jinhe's favorite lobster, and rushed back to Bei Zhou University.
Sometimes, Lu Yiwei felt very tired, especially from switching between two women. He hadn't recovered from the heavy feelings of longing in the morning, and now he had to face another person with a smile. Why did he do this? He couldn't explain it himself. Or who did he like more? There seemed to be no standard answer.
Lu Yiwei had already made up his mind to give Xia Jinhe a status. This was not an impulsive decision, nor was it out of sympathy or pity. It was a decision made after careful consideration. During this time, too many things had happened to Xia Jinhe. Not many women could be strong enough to endure it, but she did. Besides, the whole family liked her. As a son, he couldn't be the target of public criticism. It was time to think about his parents.
Besides, Lu Yiwei liked Xia Jinhe from the bottom of his heart. Even though some unhappiness had happened, it didn't affect his feelings at all. Sometimes, he often asked himself, why did he like her? Was it because of her beauty? Or was it because of her knowledge? It didn't seem to be either. What really made this relationship happen was the right time, the right place, and the right people.
At that time, his relationship with Su Meng didn't end satisfactorily. His heart was extremely depressed and empty. Coincidentally, Xia Jinhe broke into his world. She was versatile and beautiful. Her dancing was like an edelweiss, quietly sneaking into his heart and piling up warm greetings in the cold season. She was knowledgeable. She let him understand the foreign culture on the other side of the ocean that he once yearned for and saw a different world. She was straightforward and gentle. She didn't want Li Shu-man to hide his thoughts in his heart, nor would she act like a princess like Su Meng. She would always take care of other people's feelings. This made Lu Yiwei very satisfied.
However, no one was perfect. There would always be some shortcomings. But Lu Yiwei didn't seem to find any obvious shortcomings of Xia Jinhe. If he had to say, it was that she still couldn't get over lying to him. Despite her explanation, Lu Yiwei had a balance in his heart. Whether what she said was true or not, he had no way to know. In any case, Lu Yiwei wouldn't pursue it anymore. He would act as if nothing had happened. As long as she lived a good life in the future, his magnanimity could still tolerate it.
When he arrived at the staff dormitory, he coincidentally bumped into the female teacher next door, Lou Qingfeng. Lu Yiwei hurriedly greeted, "Miss Lou, are you going out?"
Lou Qingfeng was thinking with her head down. She was startled by Lu Yiwei's voice. Her beautiful face instantly turned pale and she took a few steps back.
Lou Qingfeng's action made Lu Yiwei a little embarrassed. He hurriedly apologized, "Sorry for disturbing Miss Lou's thinking. Did I scare you?"
Lou Qingfeng came back to her senses. She covered her chest with her hand and said, "It's okay. You just came?"
Lu Yiwei raised the lobster in his hand and said, "I had a good lunch today. Miss Lou, do you want to join us?"
"No, no!" Lou Qingfeng suddenly blushed. She hugged a stack of books and ran away.
Looking at such a strange woman, Lu Yiwei shook his head and went straight upstairs. Perhaps he didn't know that in this tube-shaped apartment that wasn't soundproof, his and Xia Jinhe's crazy behavior had left a shadow on her. The creaking of the bed, the sound of their bodies colliding, and the uncontrollable moans made the single woman, who had never tasted a man, suffer every night …
The apartment in the new district had already been renovated and was completely livable. Lu Yiwei considered that Xia Jinhe hadn't fully recovered, the long journey to work, and the heavy smell after the renovations, so he temporarily stayed in this tube-shaped apartment for a while.
Xia Jinhe, who was busy preparing lunch, heard footsteps in the corridor. She knew it was Lu Yiwei. She hurriedly opened the door and flew into his arms.
During this period, Lu Yiwei would come to accompany Xia Jinhe every night. Suddenly, he didn't come last night. Her heart felt empty. After the family accident, Lu Yiwei became her spiritual support. She was afraid to lose him again, so she kissed his face crazily.
After the intimacy, Lu Yiwei smelled the smell of home. He sniffed and said, "You made spare ribs?"
Xia Jinhe smiled proudly and pulled Lu Yiwei into the door. She opened the lid and said, "Your husband has been working day and night recently. I specially made a good meal to reward you. Haha, happy?"
"Yes." Lu Yiwei put his hands around Xia Jinhe's waist and said with his face close to hers, "Thank you, my wife."
"Here, have a taste!" Xia Jinhe sweetly picked up a piece of meat with a spatula and stuffed it into Lu Yiwei's mouth.
"Oh, oh, it's hot!" Lu Yiwei was so hot that he spun on the ground. Xia Jinhe laughed so hard that she couldn't stand straight. The smell of happiness lingered in the air.
