Liu Lihai was not convinced and wanted to argue with Yao Haidong. However, Leng Hongyan interrupted, "Well, I don't think it's necessary to discuss this issue. We will never get a result. We should look at it from the reality of China. I think that no matter what we do, we should respect the reality and face it. No matter what, we should do the same. Whether it's elections, being an official, being a person, or doing things, reality will always be an irresistible and unchangeable factor. The objective cannot be changed, and the subjective must obey the objective. This is the case in society and life, including the feelings between people. Reality cannot be avoided. Everyone's character exists objectively, and it cannot be changed."
Leng Hongyan's words suddenly brought Liu Lihai back to reality, bringing back the entanglement between him, Yao Haidong, and Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan's words seemed to be reminding him and Yao Haidong.
Liu Lihai glanced at Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong's expression was a little complicated and sad. Although there was still a smile on his face, in Liu Lihai's eyes, the smile was bitter and indescribable, just like how he felt in his heart. Liu Lihai understood how Yao Haidong felt at this moment, but they would not say it. Between men, it was like a complete spiritual connection.
Many times, they said they had let it go, but in fact, they did not really let it go. They just pretended to be very calm and indifferent, and then stroked the scars in a quiet corner alone. The most beautiful place in the world was not heaven, but the direction of love.
After Leng Hongyan finished speaking, he shut his mouth and turned his face to look forward. The three of them suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Liu Lihai felt awkward mainly because of him and Yao Haidong. One was Leng Hongyan's love, and the other was Leng Hongyan's person. At this time, sitting in the same car and having a good discussion about officialdom suddenly turned into an emotional one. To them, this always touched the most sensitive part of their hearts. Who would want to touch this sensitive part in such a situation?
As the minutes ticked by, the three of them looked out of the window, lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Yao Haidong broke the silence and said, "We're almost at the airport."
"Yeah, we are almost at the airport. We should break up again." Leng Hongyan suddenly sighed. "However, there is no true despair in life. The tree laid down its fallen leaves in autumn. Its heart ached, but throughout the winter, it allowed its heart to accumulate strength in tranquility. When spring came, it was still as beautiful as ever. Therefore, hope is the lighthouse of life. As long as there is a little hope, don't give up. A seed entrusted to the earth, a stubborn life may become a towering tree. "
Liu Lihai was very clear that Leng Hongyan was saying these words to him. The conversation today was all for him to hear. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment, but there was one thing that he owed this woman, and he might owe her for the rest of his life. He couldn't pay her back, and he couldn't afford to.
Liu Lihai's mouth moved. He wanted to express a little gratitude at this time, at least his gratitude at this time was absolutely real. No matter what kind of emotional entanglement between Yao Haidong and Leng Hongyan, at this time, they had to let go of their feelings and move forward towards the same goal, which was to thoroughly understand Secretary Guo Baoxin's words, find opportunities to seize the initiative in their respective positions, or find the opponent's loopholes, and put them to death. This was the result of every struggle, but the beginning and process of each struggle were different. At this time, Liu Lihai's thoughts drifted back to Lin County. Shi Zhilin, whom Liu Lihai once hated, was going to become his opponent in a real sense. He didn't know whether he should sigh with emotion or be excited. The struggle that he didn't dare to imagine before was going to start in his hands. If he succeeded, he would become a cog in a chain of interests, but if he failed, he would be eliminated.
This was the way of officialdom. Being self-serving was probably a kind of direction of the whole system. The over-centralization of power led to every leader looking for people who were "only of their own use". To put it nicely, it was because they valued talents, but to put it bluntly, it was because they were looking for their own slaves. Liu Lihai really understood these things on this day. These were also the rules that he had to accept and apply, whether he liked it or not.
At this time, they arrived at the airport. Liu Lihai swallowed what he wanted to say. If he expressed too much gratitude, it might seem fake. Because the real gratitude would be placed in the heart and would be repaid little by little in the future. Often, the gratitude that was hung on the mouth could never be realized with action.
Yao Haidong got out of the front seat first. He went to open the door for Leng Hongyan. For this action, Liu Lihai blamed himself a little. These should be done by him. No matter how much he despised the servile officialdom, these etiquettes were all things that he should do at his age.
"Haidong is so considerate to people." Leng Hongyan praised, but the implication was that he was still criticizing Liu Lihai for not being flexible enough.
Liu Lihai didn't explain, but said, "Sister Leng, I'll go and change the boarding pass for you."
"No, there's still enough time. I'll change it myself. You can go back. When you go back, figure out the intention of the secretary and find a breakthrough as soon as possible. Of course, you must be careful. After all, we are now exposed. Shi Zhilin is very clear that Xiao Liu is not his man, and Wu Haotian is also very clear that Haidong is not his man. This is even more difficult for you. While being cautious, find all opportunities to attack, understand? " As Leng Hongyan said this, his eyes fell on Liu Lihai. He understood that after all, Leng Hongyan was still worried about him.
"I'll be careful." Liu Lihai said, and Yao Haidong also nodded. Leng Hongyan then asked them to go back to the car, and she could go back to Beijing by herself. But when Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai turned around, Liu Lihai felt that there was light behind him. Yao Haidong kept walking forward, and he didn't look back. Liu Lihai also didn't want to look back. But when he got in the car, Yao Haidong said, "Director is crying."
When Liu Lihai heard Yao Haidong say this, he turned around to look for Leng Hongyan. She was indeed wiping her eyes. Liu Lihai suddenly felt a little sad. He wanted to go back and comfort Leng Hongyan, but seeing that Yao Haidong had already got into the car and was sitting in the back seat, he wouldn't cause any more trouble, so he lowered his head and got into the car.
Once in the car, Yao Haidong said, "Let's go." The driver started the car. As the car turned, Leng Hongyan's shadow became smaller and smaller.
"Director, it's true," Yao Haidong said.
Liu Lihai nodded and didn't say anything. He understood what Yao Haidong said. He was saying that Leng Hongyan's feelings for him were real. Yes, how could he not know that her feelings for him were real? But did he dare to want such a real feeling? Could he want it?
Because Leng Hongyan was also clear about this, she once again returned to Beijing without hesitation. Although she couldn't stop crying when Liu Lihai left, she didn't call him that Little Fool again. She couldn't call him that, and she couldn't call him that.
"It's not easy to give up a real feeling." Yao Haidong sighed again. At this time, he didn't know if he was also giving up a real feeling. Compared to Leng Hongyan's feelings, his feelings were really nothing. But what about Liu Lihai? Which woman would this young man fall in love with? He still couldn't forget Sun Xiaomu. Yao Haidong understood this very well. If it wasn't like this, in front of Guo Baoxin, he would judge Meng Anda. However, he avoided the officialdom and talked about his family's private affairs. This was another outstanding thing about Liu Lihai. He wouldn't deny people related to him, even if this person hurt him.
"It's difficult." Liu Lihai replied to Yao Haidong, but after saying this, he didn't say anything else. But when the car drove out of the airport, when Leng Hongyan's shadow completely disappeared, why did he feel that Sun Xiaomu's shadow appeared? Little by little, as the car approached the city, this shadow seemed to become clearer and clearer. Was it really over between him and her? Did she really hate him?
At this time, Sun Xiaomu was lying in the operating room. These days, Liu Lihai didn't do as Sun Honghui said. He didn't come to find her, beg her, or even explain what happened between him and another woman in Qinghe Village. He seemed to have disappeared. Of course, her mobile phone was taken away by her father, Meng Anda. Except for TV and books, Meng Anda told her to have a good time to calm down and sort out her feelings. She forced herself to do as her father said, watch TV and read. However, news about Liu Lihai was constantly brought to her by her mother, Sun Honghui. It was either that he was looking for another woman in Qinghe Village, or that he and Leng Hongyan had rekindled their old love. When Sun Honghui brought piles and piles of photos to her, Sun Xiaomu's pain couldn't be expressed in words.
Now, the photos in front of Sun Xiaomu were of Liu Lihai. He, Leng Hongyan, and Lu Wei, the three of them stood together very intimately. Moreover, Liu Lihai was smiling so happily, so blissfully. He didn't feel the sadness of losing Sun Xiaomu at all. He didn't know that she was still suffering in the hospital at this time.
Sun Xiaomu's last hope was completely shattered. Sun Honghui said to Sun Xiaomu, "Xiaomu, if you want to cry, just cry. After crying, just accept your fate, okay? Forget about him. "
"Mom, I accept dad's arrangement and marry to Beijing." Sun Xiaomu sorted out all the photos and returned them to Sun Honghui.
