Zhang Ran's words made Chen Xing frown slightly. But when he thought of Zhang Ran's current situation, Chen Xing immediately felt relieved. Zhang Ran came from a powerful family, but now, his entire family had been reduced to prisoners. It was understandable that Zhang Ran's mentality was a little extreme.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Seeing that Chen Xing did not speak, Zhang Ran's expression became more and more sarcastic.
"If you think so, I can't do anything about it. But I really just came to see you today." Chen Xing shrugged.
"Why are you so kind?
Am I very vicious in your eyes? "
Chen Xing's words made Zhang Ran speechless. To be honest, Chen Xing had absolutely nothing to do with vicious. During her four-year relationship with Chen Xing in college, Zhang Ran's impression of Chen Xing was that he was affectionate and loyal. After graduation, if it were not for the pressure from her family and the subtle influence of her parents, she would really choose Chen Xing. However, her parents kept instilling in her the concept of a well-matched family, so Zhang Ran finally kicked Chen Xing away.
"Anyway, you should be happy that something happened to my family, shouldn't you? At least when something happened to my mother, you could think about the position of the top leader. I think you must be gloating now. " Zhang Ran was silent for a moment, but her words were still unforgiving.
"Do I still have to think about it? I am already the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Jiang City. Why do I have to think about it? " For the first time, Chen Xing showed a sarcastic look.
"You are already the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Jiang City?" Zhang Ran's eyes widened.
"What's the point of lying to you?"
Zhang Ran did not say a word as a dejected look appeared on his face. Scenes of the past flashed through his mind. Zhang Ran thought about how things would have turned out if he had insisted on getting together with Chen Xing back then.
There was no medicine for regret in the world, and there would never be "if". At this moment, Zhang Ran knew that it was useless for her to regret. She could never go back to the past.
Complete silence.
All of a sudden, Chen Xing didn't know what to say to Zhang Ran. The two of them were no longer in the prime of their youth, nor were they teenagers who had dreams and looked forward to the future. Under such circumstances, what could he say to Zhang Ran?
After a long silence, Chen Xing finally stood up. "Zhang Ran, I'm leaving now."
He's leaving? Zhang Ran came to a sudden realization.
Hmm, there's still a lot of things to deal with. Chen Xing nodded.
You don't have anything to say to me?
What do you want to say? You're an adult with your own thoughts. Do you think it's my turn to lecture you? If you really have something to say, then I hope that you can reform well in there and become a new person in the future.
"Turn over a new leaf …" Zhang Ran muttered to himself with a bitter smile on his face.
Chen Xing didn't stay any longer. He turned around and left resolutely.
Why did he come to visit Zhang Ran today? In fact, he didn't know. Maybe he just wanted to have a look. Or maybe he just wanted to put an end to the relationship of his youth.
Time flew. Ten years passed in a flash. Chen Xing grew from the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Jiang City to a high-ranking official in a frontier region. During the eight years when he was in charge of Jiang City, he pushed for reforms, strictly governed the Party, and kept the politics clean. The political program launched by Chen Xing became the star program of Jiang City TV Station and was also called the most popular program by the people. Its ratings were high and the people loved to watch it and were keen to participate in it. However, the people in charge of the functional departments of the government were on tenterhooks and trembling with fear. That was because the city had taken serious measures. They no longer engaged in formalism, but really put the sword of accountability into practice. Anyone who was questioned or criticized by the people on the TV political program and failed to get a thorough rectification three times in a row, the city would start the accountability mechanism. At the same time, the official would be included in the list of cadres who couldn't be promoted or investigated within five years by the Organization Department.
It could be said that because the TV political program launched by Chen Xing was serious, it achieved a great response. The efficiency of the functional departments of the government was greatly improved. It really fulfilled the purpose and concept of "serving the people". The political atmosphere in the city was clean and bright, and the people praised the efficiency of the government.
In eight years, Chen Xing made extraordinary achievements in Jiang City. The politics were clean and bright, and the economy developed rapidly. The achievements in the cultural industry, especially, were eye-catching. According to Chen Xing's vision, Jiang City developed step by step into the cultural industry center of the southeast coast, and even had a certain reputation in the world.
As for the TV political program promoted by Chen Xing, because of its remarkable effect, it had a good reputation among the people. It was spread by word of mouth, and it also attracted great attention from the provincial government. The main leaders of the provincial government made instructions to promote it throughout the province.
In the eighth year of Chen Xing's administration in Jiang City, because of his dazzling achievements in Jiang City, Chen Xing was appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and was nominated as the Governor of Jianghai Province. Half a year later, Chen Xing became an official and the word "Deputy" was removed. That year, Chen Xing was 42 years old.
Hekou Prison, Jiang City.
A pale-faced middle-aged woman dragged her simple luggage out of the prison. Looking up at the blue sky above her, the woman was lost in thought, and tears flowed down silently.
At the entrance of the prison, several cars were parked in the open space. Looking at her cellmates and family members who had been released on the same day as her, she excitedly hugged each other. Tears of joy flowed down her cheeks as she happily got into the car. A disappointed expression appeared on the woman's face. When others were released from prison, their family members would come to welcome them, but she didn't even have a single person. Even her parents were still in prison.
Wiping away her tears, the woman told herself to be strong. After ten years of life in prison, she had long learned to be strong. In this world, no one could be relied on. She could only rely on herself. The world didn't believe in tears, and only she could be strong.
In the distance, an Audi A6 with a Provincial government license plate came from afar and stopped at the gate of the prison. Yu Zhiyuan, who got out of the car, looked around. When he saw the middle-aged woman who was about to leave, Yu Zhiyuan's face lit up and he hurriedly trotted over. Miss Chang, please wait.
Yu Zhiyuan walked quickly to Zhang Ran, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand. He smiled at Zhang Ran politely and politely. Miss Chang, this is a gift from Governor Chen. I hope you can have a new life.
Governor Chen? Zhang Ran looked at Yu Zhiyuan in confusion. She recognized him as Chen Xing's secretary, but the "Governor Chen" he mentioned made her unable to come to her senses for a while.
It was Governor Chen Xing. Yu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
He was already the governor? Zhang Ran was in a daze.
Governor Chen Xing was appointed as the governor two years ago. Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
Zhang Ran pursed her lips, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart.
Miss Chang, my task is done, so I'll take my leave first. Yu Zhiyuan said to Zhang Ran with a smile.
After watching Yu Zhiyuan leave, Zhang Ran's eyes fell on the gift box in her hand. The packaging of the gift box was exquisite and a little heavy. Zhang Ran didn't know what was inside, so she opened the box curiously. Inside was an exquisite model of a sailboat. The sailboat was carved with wood, and the sails on it were vivid. On the side of the sailboat, there were three big words: "Set sail again."
Looking at the beautiful sailboat model, Zhang Ran covered her mouth with her hand. She could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.
