After Xie Yufen left, Lu Yiwei sat alone on the sofa in a daze. He couldn't imagine that a good family had become like this. Who was at fault? Was it Zhang Zhiyuan's fault or Xie Yufen's?
At first, Lu Yiwei hated Xie Yufen for being unreasonable. But after listening to her crying, he couldn't hate her anymore. He even sympathized with her. Women were also human beings. Few people could live like a widow, not to mention that she had persisted for more than ten years. Alas!
The most innocent one was Little Chu. She should have had another fate, but she chose this fate in the end. Fate was too unfair to her.
As for whether Little Chu's identity was true or not, Lu Yiwei didn't dare to make a conclusion. He was thinking about what would happen to Little Chu in the future? Would Zhang Zhiyuan give up his work to take care of her? Based on his understanding of Zhang Zhiyuan, he would not do that.
After Fan Chunfang came back, Lu Yiwei told him about the situation. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"We can't let Little Chu know about this for the time being." Fan Chunfang thought for a moment and said, "You can discuss with Secretary Zhang again. Let Little Chu be taken care of at your house for a while. If it doesn't work, let her come to our house. I can also take care of her. Little Chu has grown up. It will be inconvenient for a man to take care of her. Let's talk about it after she fully recovers. "
Fan Chunfang's proposal touched Lu Yiwei. After thinking about it again and again, he went to Zhang Zhiyuan's house again.
After entering the house, Zhang Zhiyuan was making lunch for Little Chu. Fan Chunfang took the apron and said, "Let me do this. You guys go and talk."
Coming to the kitchen, Zhang Zhiyuan took the initiative and said, "Yiwei, I have thought it through. I plan to report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in two days and apply for a transfer back. Even if I have to go to a small unit as a deputy, I will accept it. Little Chu is my lifeblood. I can't lose her. "
He didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to really take this step. Lu Yiwei comforted him, "Secretary Zhang, Little Chu's mood has been unstable recently, but he might be fine after some time. In fact, you don't have to do this at all. There are many ways to show fatherly love. It's not necessarily the most appropriate choice for you to stay by her side. "
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I owe my child too much. I've made up my mind to do this. If the ministry doesn't agree, I'll resign. "
It could be seen that Zhang Zhiyuan had made up his mind this time. Lu Yiwei put forward his idea at the right time, "Secretary Zhang, I still have the same suggestion. Bring Little Chu to my parents' place for the time being. Both of you need to calm down. Chu will be starting school soon, but she can't go back to her original school. I want to send her to Victoria International School. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was stunned and didn't say anything.
Lu Yiwei continued, "Victoria International School is a private school run by the British. It has a new teaching concept, and it is completely closed. There are also opportunities to go abroad. In this way, you can take time to concentrate on your work, and Little Chu can also get in touch with the foreign environment. Maybe she can get out of the haze. "
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to smoke and didn't say anything.
Lu Yiwei continued, "I've inquired about this school. It's good in all aspects. I plan to send my daughter there in the second half of the year. What do you think?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was tempted. He raised his eyelids and said, "The tuition must be very expensive, right?"
Lu Yiwei said, "You don't have to think about it. I'll take full responsibility."
"How can you do that? Let me do it."
Lu Yiwei said bluntly, "I still have some money in my hands. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Zhiyuan knew about this school. Since its establishment, it had been controversial. The tuition was ridiculously expensive. The tuition for a semester was as high as 200,000 yuan, and this didn't include other expenses. It was a real aristocratic school.
400,000 yuan a year was indeed unaffordable for the working class. They couldn't even touch the door, let alone get in. However, the new teaching model made many people eager to try. The school was completely British, and all classes were taught in English. It was no different from a British school, just that it was built in a different place.
Niu Fuyong might look like a country bumpkin, but he was not careless when it came to the education of his children. He had sent his two children to this school two years ago, and even went to England several times.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't refuse and agreed to Lu Yiwei's proposal.
In the afternoon, Fan Chunfang patiently counseled Little Chu and outlined a beautiful vision for her future life. Little Chu was moved.
That afternoon, Lu Yiwei sent Little Chu to his parents' house in Dongzhou City. This helped Zhang Zhiyuan take a load off his mind.
There was a tacit understanding between the two of them. They wouldn't say thank you out loud, but kept it in their hearts. Sometimes, it even went beyond friendship. They silently helped each other behind the scenes.
Thinking of Xie Yufen's words, Lu Yiwei felt ashamed. He had been Zhang Zhiyuan's secretary for two to three years, but he didn't notice any problems in that area. Now that he knew, it was time to do something for him.
Lu Yiwei said, "Secretary Zhang, Little Chu's matter has been settled for the time being. You don't have to worry about the rest. I know you've been very busy recently, but you should take some time to relax. Why don't you take two days off, and I'll accompany you abroad. "
"Abroad? To where? "
"Yes!" Lu Yiwei said, "I happen to have something to do in the United States. You should go with me to relax. Work can't be finished. It's fine if you put it down. It's not too late to do it when you come back. "
After some persuasion, Zhang Zhiyuan reluctantly agreed. Lu Yiwei used all kinds of connections to get a visa as soon as possible. The two of them got up and flew to the United States.
There were two purposes for this trip to the United States. First, it was to see Zhang Zhiyuan. After all, the medical level in China couldn't be compared to the United States. Since they wanted to treat him, they should treat him in one go. Second, he wanted to see Xu Jiayin and report to him about the company's operation.
After the plane landed in Los Angeles, Lu Yiwei communicated with the locals in broken English. According to the address provided by Xu Jiayin, he found his home.
What Lu Yiwei didn't expect was that they were a step too late. Xu Jiayin had just passed away two days ago, which shocked him greatly. In this way, the Xu family's roots were completely cut off.
After the two of them paid their respects, they stayed in the hotel. Lu Yiwei took the opportunity to mention the other purpose of this trip.
After listening to it, Zhang Zhiyuan was surprisingly calm and said, "Did Xie Yufen look for you?"
Lu Yiwei didn't lie and nodded.
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed and said, "This is also one of the reasons why I agreed to the divorce. I owe her too much. Even if she did something wrong to me, I endured it."
Hearing that there was a hidden meaning in Zhang Zhiyuan's words, Lu Yiwei asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, she …"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Actually, she already has someone outside. She thought that I didn't know. I just didn't want to say it. For the sake of this family, as a man, I have to endure it. Who asked me to not be able to? Sigh! "
Every family had its own problems. The situation in Zhang Zhiyuan's family was indeed complicated, beyond Lu Yiwei's imagination.
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I know my illness. Even the world's top doctors can't cure it. Let's just forget about it."
Lu Yiwei didn't intend to give up. He said, "How do you know it can't be cured? You're not even fifty yet. Are you going to give up your right to pursue happiness? "
After Lu Yiwei's repeated persuasion, Zhang Zhiyuan finally compromised and decided to give it a try.
The next day, the two of them went to the best hospital in Los Angeles. After a series of examinations, the doctor concluded that his illness could be cured, which made the two of them quite happy.
However, the doctor added that it could only be cured, but the problem of fertility could not be cured. Male diseases were a problem all over the world, and they could only be treated conservatively.
Hearing that, Zhang Zhiyuan said indifferently, "It's no longer important to me whether I can have children or not. I don't plan to have any more anyway."
After staying in Los Angeles for nearly a week, the two of them returned to Xijiang Province in high spirits.
This trip to America was both sad and happy. The sad part was Xu Jiayin's death, and the happy part was that Zhang Zhiyuan's illness had been cured.
Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't hide his excitement. He whispered, "Yiwei, I can't wait to try it now. Haha."
Zhang Zhiyuan joked. Lu Yiwei said seriously, "If you want, I can find one for you."
"Forget it!" Zhang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it later."
The topic returned to Lu Yiwei. Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I'll bring you to see Guo Jinzhu in a while. Ever since he was transferred to the Tourism Bureau, he seems to be in a bad mood. You should know that it's mostly thanks to Old Guo that you were able to be promoted successfully. "
"Mm." Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "You can arrange it. I'm ready anytime."
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Old Guo knew that he was leaving Xizhou, so he quickly solved your problem. It's considered an explanation to you."
Lu Yiwei asked curiously, "Did Secretary Guo really offend Secretary Zhang?"
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I think so. However, it's not because of this on-site meeting, but because of the conflicts that have accumulated over time. Old Guo usually doesn't pay attention to the occasion when he speaks. He's usually straightforward, which is his fatal weakness. "
"Then why is he venting his anger on me?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "I've looked into this matter. Secretary Zhang only mentioned your name, but he didn't do anything to you. A large part of the reason is because of Xu Shousong. He's still narrow-minded because of his children's marriage. People like him will definitely end badly. Just ignore him."
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly. He had been shot several times for no reason. Although he was lucky enough to escape, his reputation was bound to be affected to a certain extent. What also puzzled him was, why did the investigation on him suddenly stop?
Zhang Zhiyuan was also puzzled. He said, "Regarding your matter, it was Secretary Zhang who personally gave the order. He only said eight words, 'Stop the investigation and deal with it appropriately.' As for who spoke up for you, you have to ask yourself. In this matter, I can't do anything. "
"Then how do you think the province will deal with me appropriately?"
