As soon as Yao Haidong finished speaking, he stared at Liu Lihai, as if he couldn't hear Liu Lihai's answer if he didn't look at him like this.
Liu Lihai's mind had always been on Sun Xiaomu and Leng Hongyan, not on their small official circles, so when he heard Yao Haidong's words, he didn't quite understand what he meant. He said vaguely, "Is it better for Brother Yao to make this call?"
"Do you really not intend to keep a relationship with the minister?" Yao Haidong was a little annoyed. What's wrong with this young man? The current situation was extremely unfavorable for them, but why did this young man still stop on his own feelings? Besides, whether it was Sun Xiaomu or Leng Hongyan, they had nothing to do with him at the moment. The only thing he had to do was not to talk about feelings with them, only to talk about familial love. There was a kind of feeling that could develop into familial love. This was the kind of feeling that Yao Haidong most hoped for between Liu Lihai and Leng Hongyan to exist. This kind of familial love was not dangerous, and it would not harm the relationship between the Great Secretary and Old Master Ji. Moreover, it was firm and could be used for a long time. Yes, if there was no relationship that could be used, why did Yao Haidong worry so much? Why did he bother to do this?
"I don't know." Liu Lihai said again sullenly.
"You, you, what should I say to you?" Yao Haidong blamed Liu Lihai, but he still took out his phone and angrily dialed Leng Hongyan's number.
Leng Hongyan was sulking at home. Old Master Ji said that he would accompany her on her honeymoon, but in the end, he said that he had something to do and left in a hurry. And Liu Lihai, this silly boy, actually didn't understand her mind. Did he really want her to stay in Beijing and serve Old Master Ji? If so, what was the point of her marriage? She did not love Old Master Ji, she could not lie to herself about this. Other than this Little Fool, she now really found that her heart could not contain any other man, or perhaps other men could no longer move her. At her age, she could no longer let her feelings blossom like spring flowers just because she was aroused. This was not something that could happen naturally just because the season had come.
Moreover, even though Old Master Ji wore such a powerful official hat, he was still a man in his sixties. An old man of his age naturally had the aura of an old man. This aura would not diminish with the size of his official hat. Instead, it would strengthen with the passage of time. This kind of old man was incomparable to the natural vitality of a young man like Liu Lihai. This was just like how men always liked 18-year-old girls. That kind of fresh beauty, youth and vitality was not something women of her age could compare with. No matter how much wealth and luxury women of their age had, it could not compare with the coarse clothes of an 18-year-old girl.
In fact, Leng Hongyan repeatedly persuaded herself to love Old Master Ji, but that kind of unpleasant old man's body smell and that kind of dry skin like tree bark could not arouse her impulse and love. And the only reason why she kept flattering Old Master Ji was to return to officialdom and make Liu Lihai listen to her again. When all of this suddenly disappeared, Leng Hongyan did not know if she could protect Old Master Ji. Was she really willing to be trapped in this huge house every day?
For a woman, a home without love, no matter how splendid the palace was, it would not make her feel truly happy.
At this time, Leng Hongyan was like this. After Old Master Ji left, she was so eager to receive a message from Liu Lihai. She needed him to beg her again. As long as he begged her, she thought, she was willing to sacrifice for this Little Fool again. Who asked her to love him? Who asked her to be willing to constantly trap herself for him?
The phone rang, making Leng Hongyan's heart beat wildly. She could not help but scold herself, "So cheap." After scolding herself, she was still very excited to pick up the phone. When she found that it was actually Yao Haidong calling and not that Little Fool, she felt a surge of disappointment. However, she still picked up the phone. As soon as the phone was connected, Yao Haidong's voice came through. "Minister, I have something to report to you."
"What's the matter?" Leng Hongyan's voice was obviously not troublesome. Yao Haidong still felt this kind of mood, which was also the reason why he asked Liu Lihai to make the call instead of him. This woman would only become overflowing with passion when she heard Liu Lihai's phone call.
Yao Haidong hurriedly reported the things about Meng Anda and Ma Jinxiu. When Leng Hongyan heard it, she felt a headache. Why couldn't there be anything that made her feel comfortable in Jiangnan? Was she really going to be trapped in the capital and ignore the things in Jiangnan Province? However, why did this and that keep converging into her life? Was she really going to be forced to agree to Old Master Ji's condition, stay in Beijing, and let the Little Fool be Guo Baoxin's secretary? Was she really going to make such a decision?
Ma Jinxiu's betrayal of Leng Hongyan at this time was enough to prove that she was ready to go all out. Since she couldn't get the benefits she wanted from Leng Hongyan's circle, why couldn't she turn to other circles? Besides, Leng Hongyan could marry a high-ranking official at this age. She was younger than Leng Hongyan. Why couldn't she get a high-ranking official? How many women could climb up in the officialdom if they didn't loosen their belts? The possibility of a woman who had no one above her to have a good time was very small.
Ma Jinxiu's ruthlessness was completely stimulated by Leng Hongyan. Of course, there was also Lu Wei, whose words also hurt her. Leng Hongyan had to admit this. But Ma Jinxiu betrayed them so publicly and did so in the sight of Yao Haidong. He must be ready to break up with Leng Hongyan.
But at this time, Meng Anda openly took away Ma Jinxiu. What did he want to do?
"Haidong, you have to pay attention to this matter. Meng Anda took away Ma Jinxiu at this time. He definitely didn't covet her. At this time, he didn't have such a thought. So what does he want to show by taking her away publicly? "Leng Hongyan said to the phone.
These words were also the questions that Yao Haidong couldn't understand. He was worried that something would happen again, so he called Leng Hongyan. He didn't expect that Leng Hongyan would directly ask this question, so he had to be careful.
"Minister, I'm worried that the change of personnel is floating. I'm afraid that a long delay may cause trouble." Yao Haidong sighed. In fact, this sentence was also a hint to Leng Hongyan that he should make up his mind to let Liu Lihai work for Guo Baoxin. If it was delayed like this, if the governor Li Gaocheng insisted on letting Ma Jinxiu take over the position of the Party Secretary of Lin County, Xiaowan, the secretary of Party Secretary Guo Baoxin, would have no position to arrange, and Guo Baoxin's original plan would have to be postponed, which would inevitably affect whether Yao Haidong could take over the position of Deputy Mayor of Jingjiang or not.
Every radish had its own pit in the officialdom. Only when one occupied the pit could the radish continue to grow. Without a pit, where could the radish grow?
Of course, Yao Haidong was worried that a long delay may cause trouble. Moreover, there would be endless changes in a day when things were not fixed.
"In the end, you want me to make a decision, right?" Leng Hongyan sighed.
"Well, I …" Yao Haidong stuttered for a moment, as if Leng Hongyan had seen through his mind.
"Give the phone to Xiao Liu." Leng Hongyan didn't want to continue talking to Yao Haidong, but changed the topic to Liu Lihai.
"Okay." Yao Haidong said as he gave the phone to Liu Lihai. Of course, he also felt a sense of relief. He really didn't know what to say next.
Liu Lihai took the phone and said, "Sister Leng." When Leng Hongyan heard it, tears came out. What was wrong with her? Was she really going to be sad for this little boy for the rest of her life? Why was she so affectionate?
Leng Hongyan tried to hold back her tears. She couldn't let this Little Fool know that she wanted to cry. She couldn't!
"If Ma Jinxiu takes over as the Party Secretary of Lin County, what will you do?" Leng Hongyan asked.
Liu Lihai didn't expect that Leng Hongyan would say this to him. Didn't they agree that Xiaowan would take over as the Party Secretary of Lin County? Leng Hongyan meant that she didn't want to stay in Beijing peacefully. She didn't want to agree to the deal between Old Master Ji and the Party Secretary for him.
When thinking of this, Liu Lihai had a feeling of despair, so he said, "Sister Leng, about this problem, I think the final result is what it is. Sometimes, letting nature take its course is better than anything else. Besides, you have your own life. You can make your own decisions about your life. I already owe you a lot, and I can't pay you back in this life. If people really have a next life, I'm willing to use my next life to pay you back. Of course, even so, I probably can't pay you back all that I owe you.
So, Sister Leng, you don't have to worry about anything. I'm a person after all. No matter where I go, I won't starve to death. It's just the difference between a good person and a bad person. Besides, in this life, what is the standard of a good person and a bad person? I'm thinking about this question now. Are the things we desperately pursue really the standard of a good person? The things we inadvertently lose may be the things we need the most in the end. Sister Leng, what do you think? "
Liu Lihai didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually said these things to Leng Hongyan. These words sounded so cheap in Yao Haidong's ears. He wanted to grab Liu Lihai's phone twice, and even tried to stop Liu Lihai from saying these meaningless things with his actions. However, Liu Lihai pretended not to see it, and still said these words that were nonsense in his eyes. At this time, Liu Lihai should be begging Leng Hongyan. He was well aware of Leng Hongyan's feelings for him. He only needed to ask her, and she would still help him. But this arrogant young man was pretending to be a saint here, with such a high attitude. Could this kind of arrogance be used to make a living? Moreover, this was not the time for them to be arrogant. They couldn't afford to be arrogant, and they didn't have the qualifications to be arrogant.
After Liu Lihai finished speaking, Leng Hongyan was silent. She didn't expect Liu Lihai to say such words. She needed him to beg her, but not only did he not, but he also let her do as she pleased, giving Leng Hongyan a wide choice.
