Lu Tao heard Wu Manping mention Chen Jin's promotion. His heart skipped a beat, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Seeing his silence, Wu Manping's heart seemed to have been touched. The expression on her face gradually softened, and her tone was no longer as aggressive as before. "Little Lu, take it as Auntie Wu begging you this time. Please don't follow me anymore. Can you stop? She's a pure girl, and the leader of the provincial finance department thinks highly of her. If her reputation is damaged because of you, will you feel good?
"Also, Songshan's Secretary Huang Hongyi came to my house last time. Old Chen and I had a good impression of him. I listened to him. He said that Secretary Huang is your father's old comrade, and your father saved his life before. That's why he treats you like his own nephew. I promise you now, as long as you leave Chen Jin and don't contact her again. I'll put in a good word for Secretary Huang in front of Old Chen, and Old Chen will definitely take care of him. You know what I mean, right? "
Of course, Lu Tao understood what she meant. To put it bluntly, what she said was a naked deal: If he agreed to leave Chen Zhao, he would not be able to do anything. If Chen Jin agreed to leave Chen Jin, Secretary Huang would be able to enter Chen Dengfeng's circle and receive the latter's appreciation, care, and promotion. However, if he stubbornly refused to listen to her advice and insisted on being with Chen Jin? Not only would Secretary Huang not be able to enter Chen Dengfeng's circle, he might even be ostracized and suppressed. This was the result that Lu Tao didn't want to see the most. It was also the result that he was most afraid of. It didn't matter if he was wronged or suppressed, but if he caused Secretary Huang Hongyi's career to be ruined, then he would be guilty …
Thinking of this, he only felt a wave of sadness and despair. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked in a compromising tone, "What do you want me to do?"
Wu Manping was overjoyed. She beamed and said, "It's very simple. Don't come to my house for dinner tomorrow. It's best if you rush back to Taolin County today. Otherwise, if you want to contact her, she'll contact you again. She still wants to contact you. You can tell her directly that you have a girlfriend, or that you don't like her at all. Or, you can stop answering her calls and not reply to her messages. In short, no matter what method you use, you just have to make her completely give up on you. "
At this point, she carefully observed Lu Tao's expression. Seeing that he still seemed to be a little hesitant, she used an even more sincere tone to say, "Little Lu, as long as you don't follow me anymore? In exchange, I can also promise you that if you encounter any difficulties or problems in the provincial capital in the future, if I can help you, you can call me directly. I will definitely find a way to solve them for you. I'll give you my phone number now. You can contact me anytime in the future. "
Lu Tao saw how impatient Wu Manping was and finally made up his mind. Not to mention the fact that this matter might affect Secretary Huang's future and fate, just by looking at Wu Manping's face, he could not work with Chen anymore. Together. Just think about it: Wu Manping despises and hates me so much, even if it's Chen? If she insisted on being with him, how would she get along with her family in the future? Could it be that he had to endure their supercilious looks and cold treatment? With his temper, he was afraid that he would not be able to endure it. Rather than that, why not take advantage of the current situation between him and Chen? They had not officially established a relationship yet. It was better to cut the Gordian knot and make a clean break so that he would not have to endure Wu Manping's endless humiliation and supercilious looks in the future …
Therefore, he coldly said to Wu Manping, "Auntie Wu, I'm just a small civil servant in a remote area. You're the wife of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if I have any difficulties or troubles in the future, I won't be able to find you, so there's no need to leave your phone number. Don't worry, I won't follow you anymore. We'll keep in touch. I'm a man of my words. I won't go back on my words. "
Wu Manping was overjoyed. She stood up and extended her hand. "Great, I'm relieved to hear that! Come, let's shake hands. I wish you a bright future! "
Lu Tao wanted to refuse to shake hands with her, but on second thought, he did not want to offend her at this time. After all, she was Chen's mother. He could not be too rude. Therefore, he reached out and shook hands with her. After watching her leave the room, he collapsed on the Simmons bed and began to think about how to completely cut off his relationship with Chen? Chen …
At four in the afternoon, Lu Tao suddenly received a call from a deputy director named Liu in the inspection department of Songshan City's Local Taxation Bureau. He asked him to immediately write up a disciplinary complaint and send it to the inspection department as soon as possible.
Lu Tao hurriedly asked, "Director Liu, tomorrow is Saturday. Can I still send the complaint over? I'm in the provincial capital now. If I rush back today, I won't be able to make it. "
Deputy Director Liu replied, "According to the city's leaders, the discipline inspection team has set up a review and investigation team for your disciplinary complaint. On Monday, they'll go to Taolin County's Local Taxation Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and O 'Neal Hotel to investigate. Therefore, it's best if you hurry back to Taolin, prepare the complaint, and send it to me tomorrow. Because time is tight, our investigation team will work overtime tomorrow to do a preliminary review of your complaint before coming up with an investigation plan. "
Lu Tao hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director Liu. I'll return to Taolin County immediately."
After hanging up, Lu Tao immediately went to look for Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling. He told them that he had urgent matters to attend to and had to rush back to Taolin. Then, he packed his luggage and called a taxi between Taolin and the provincial capital. Three hours later, he was back in the county …
That night, when Lu Tao returned home, he turned off his phone and finished writing the complaint on his computer. Before he went to bed, he turned on his phone and saw that there were more than ten missed calls. Chen Zhao. He looked at his WeChat and saw that there were also calls from Chen Zhao. There were a few messages asking him why he turned off his phone. Was he going to her house for dinner tomorrow?
Lu Tao looked at the time. It was almost one in the morning. Since he was already asleep, he left a message on WeChat, saying that he had returned to Taolin County and would not be able to attend her birthday dinner tomorrow. At the same time, he tactfully told her that after much consideration, he felt that their personalities were incompatible. Moreover, their family conditions were very different. They might not be happy together in the future, so it was better not to date to avoid hurting each other in the future …
After waking up the next day, Lu Tao turned on his phone and saw that there were more than ten missed calls. They were all from Chen Zhao. He looked at his WeChat and saw that Chen Zhao had called him. Under the long message he left last night, there were two sentences: "Lu Tao, you big jerk! Do you know that you're hurting me now? "
