When the phone rang, Sun Xiaomu was still crying. She saw Liu Lihai's call, but she didn't pick it up.
Liu Lihai called Sun Xiaomu on the pretext of going to the washroom. He was worried that she misunderstood him. But after calling twice in a row, Sun Xiaomu didn't pick it up. He knew that she really misunderstood him, and she must be very sad. He couldn't explain to Sun Xiaomu, and Leng Hongyan was trying to get close to Minister Dong in order to help him. For a woman who was about to leave the officialdom, if it wasn't for him, would Leng Hongyan need to get close to Minister Dong?
For Leng Hongyan, she didn't need to say those flattering words in the officialdom. But Leng Hongyan not only kept praising Minister Dong, but she was also very observant. When she saw that Minister Dong's glass was empty, she stood up and refilled it for him. Leng Hongyan's series of actions must be very enjoyable for Minister Dong. At least in Liu Lihai's eyes, Minister Dong enjoyed it very much. There weren't many men in the officialdom who didn't like to be flattered, flattered, and respected by beautiful female subordinates.
Liu Lihai saw that Minister Dong and Leng Hongyan were chatting happily, so he made an excuse to go to the washroom. Of course, Minister Dong really hoped that Liu Lihai wasn't in his office. From the surprise on his face when he saw Liu Lihai leave, Liu Lihai understood that God. But Leng Hongyan didn't say anything. Although Liu Lihai couldn't see anything from the expression on her face, Liu Lihai was very clear that Leng Hongyan knew that he would call Sun Xiaomu. If he stayed in the washroom for too long, Leng Hongyan would definitely have some ideas. After all, she was running around for his work. After all, she put down her status to please another man for him.
Liu Lihai had to get out of the washroom. Just as he reached the door, he bumped into someone. He looked up and was about to apologize when the person stared at him. He stared back at the person. He felt that this person was somewhat familiar, so he tried hard to recall where he had seen him before. Just then, someone behind him called out, "Hello, Secretary General Meng." Secretary General Meng responded and went into the bathroom. He brushed past Liu Lihai's back, but Liu Lihai clearly felt that Secretary Meng was looking at him from the corner of his eye.
"Secretary General Meng?" Liu Lihai repeated silently. He remembered that he had seen the Secretary-General of the provincial government, Meng Anda, on television. But did Secretary Meng know him? Why was she staring at him? He was confused again.
Before Liu Lihai could figure it out, he had already arrived at the door of Minister Dong's office. He knocked on the door, and Minister Dong said from inside, "Please come in."
Liu Lihai walked in, and Minister Dong and Leng Hongyan were laughing about something. It was probably Leng Hongyan telling a joke. When Leng Hongyan saw Liu Lihai entering, he stood up and looked at Minister Dong. "Minister Dong, we will return the favor in the future. Minister Dong still has an event today, so Xiao Liu and I will not disturb you any longer. We will visit you another day to thank you. " As he said this, he extended his hand. Minister Dong's eyes were burning with passion. He shook Leng Hongyan's hand enthusiastically and said, "Comrade Ran Chun is so good at telling jokes. I have learned a lot today. If there is no event, I will definitely ask you to stay for dinner. If you come to the province again, you must inform me. "
Leng Hongyan's face was also smiling like a blooming rose. At least at this moment, she looked like this in Liu Lihai's eyes, and it was probably the same in Minister Dong's eyes. How many men wouldn't like a beautiful female official who knew how to make the leader happy and knew how to control the slowness of the situation?
Minister Dong personally sent Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai to the door, and then he waved reluctantly as a farewell.
After leaving Minister Dong, Leng Hongyan led Liu Lihai to the elevator. Liu Lihai did not expect the elevator to be empty, and he felt awkward again. But Leng Hongyan did not seem to want to let him go. He looked at him and asked, "Your little lover is ignoring you, right?"
Liu Lihai wanted to look at Leng Hongyan's face, but he did not dare to raise his head. He just replied with a "hmm" through his nose.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Lihai replied with a "hmm", Leng Hongyan burst into laughter. Liu Lihai had to raise his head, and he looked at Leng Hongyan in confusion.
Leng Hongyan finally stopped laughing, and Liu Lihai thought he would say something, but Leng Hongyan said, "Lin County has been included in the red tourist route."
Leng Hongyan's sudden words surprised Liu Lihai, and he did not know what to say. Just when he was hesitating, the elevator reached the first floor. Leng Hongyan did not look at Liu Lihai again, and strode forward, as if Liu Lihai did not exist.
Liu Lihai knew that Leng Hongyan must have talked with Minister Dong about the plan to include Lin County in the red tourist route when he went to the washroom, and he must have told him about the situation in Lin County. If he did not introduce Liu Lihai, he would not know.
However, when Liu Lihai and Leng Hongyan talked about the red tourist route in Minister Dong's office, Minister Dong did not say that Lin County would be included in the red tourist route. At that time, he had been worried about Sun Xiaomu, and he was not in the mood to cater to Minister Dong. Just when Minister Dong and Leng Hongyan were talking, he found an excuse to go to the washroom, but he did not expect that Leng Hongyan had settled the matter without him knowing. It seemed that gossiping was not useless. It was just that Liu Lihai really had to learn from Leng Hongyan when it came to gossiping and when it was time to talk about things.
On the way back to Jingjiang, Leng Hongyan said to Liu Lihai, "Cherish what you have, and you will not have it again if you lose it." Liu Lihai nodded seriously, but a lot of things about him and her surged in his mind. He had the impulse to express something to her, but he did not know what he should express to her now. She was going to go to a foreign country, but he had to live with Sun Xiaomu, live together, and welcome the future that belonged to them together. At this time, even if he had thousands of words to say, he still could not express them. He could only let the oppressive atmosphere surge in the car. On the way, neither of them took the initiative to look at each other, and neither of them took the initiative to ask about each other.
Depression and embarrassment kept rolling in Liu Lihai's heart, but he did not know how to resolve this situation. He hoped that Jingjiang would arrive soon, and he was eager to escape from this situation. When the car finally entered Jingjiang's territory, he did not feel as relaxed as he had imagined. Although he did not need to be so close to Leng Hongyan, a sense of loss spread through his body. This was the last time he was with her, and if he really wanted to let go of her, he found that he was still reluctant. However, he still did not know what to say to her, so he just looked at Leng Hongyan. She did not seem to notice that he was looking at her, so he had to look away and prepare to get out of the car. Leng Hongyan suddenly said, "It's going to be a change of leadership. Don't you have any ideas?"
Liu Lihai retracted his foot and turned to look at Leng Hongyan. He did not understand why she suddenly said this.
Seeing that Liu Lihai was staring at her, Leng Hongyan continued, "After Lin County was included in the red tourist route, it will greatly increase the tourism income of Lin County. You have done what others have not done. I think Shi Zhilin will consider this."
Liu Lihai still did not understand why Leng Hongyan suddenly mentioned this, but he did not ask. He was no longer the person who needed to ask her for advice on everything. Besides, with the current state of Lin County, he really did not have much hope for a change of leadership. However, he was still very grateful to Leng Hongyan. When he was about to leave, he still said to Leng Hongyan very sincerely, "If you don't have a good life outside, come back."
As soon as Liu Lihai said this, Leng Hongyan's eyes were filled with tears. She was actually reluctant to leave. Her love, her career, her roots, and her leaves were here. She was really not sure if she could adapt to going to a strange country. However, if she did not leave, she would continue to be involved in the struggle. Women and men fought for power and profit, and women were always no match. In the end, struggle was the patent of men. It was okay for women to add flowers to brocade, but it was much more difficult to arrange a brocade alone. She was tired, tired from the struggle, and even more tired from love. She wanted to rest, but she seemed to have no other place to rest except leaving her home.
Leng Hongyan turned her face to the side. She did not want this boy to see her sadness, and she did not want to cry in front of this boy again. Especially at this time, she did not want Liu Lihai to see her weakness.
Seeing that Leng Hongyan did not pay attention to him and turned her head, Liu Lihai thought that he had said something wrong, so he said softly, "I'm leaving." After that, he walked straight to his car. However, Liu Lihai felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him, which must be looking at his back affectionately and sadly. He did not dare to look back, and he could not look back.
Yes, once something was lost, it would be lost forever. However, was this the way he and Leng Hongyan would end and say goodbye?
Liu Lihai did not know. When he walked into his car, he relaxed, started the car and went straight to Lin County. As soon as he got on the road in Lin County, he called Sun Xiaomu again, but Sun Xiaomu did not answer his phone. He knew that he had been misunderstood by Sun Xiaomu again.
Liu Lihai sighed helplessly. Not only did he not figure out Sun Xiaomu's problem, but he also made her misunderstand him so deeply. Moreover, Sun Xiaomu must be angry, otherwise, she would not have not answered the phone for so long.
As soon as Liu Lihai's car drove to Lin County, Shi Zhilin called. Shi Zhilin asked Liu Lihai, "Xiao Liu, are you back?"
Liu Lihai did not know why Shi Zhilin called him again. He hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "Hello, Mr. Shi, I just came back."
"Come to my office immediately." Shi Zhilin said and hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Lihai to say anything.
Liu Lihai did not know what had happened again. He now hoped that Lin County would be peaceful, and he hoped that nothing would happen in Lin County again. He needed a good environment to train and develop himself.
