Chapter 60: Ruthless
An Zhongqi was a staff member with no background in that era when every inch of land was valuable. If you want to be promoted step by step, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
He watched with his own eyes that someone waited from a high-spirited boy to a full head of flowers, but he couldn't wait for the position he wanted.
In just one year after marrying Xu Yin, under Xu Jianglin's relationship, he was promoted three times. In the third year of marriage, he became a position above one person and below ten thousand. I have been sitting in this position for more than ten years. A few years ago, the old boss was transferred to the province, and he became the leader of the entire Haicheng District.
Over the years, every road has gone so smoothly without a little bump. Let him quietly recall Xu Jianglin's arrogant face for countless nights.
If it weren't for their Xu family, they might still be in the corner of the office now. No matter how old you are, you still have to be called by others casually, nodding your head and bowing your head, but you may not be able to make a living.
Running errands, doing chores, the blood and hard work that are full of blood and hard work have been consumed little by little in the long years.
So for Xu's mother, he respects it as always. For Xu Che, he is even more spoiled as always.
A few years ago, Xu's mother's birthday banquet, under Xu Jianglin's publicity, almost alarmed the entire Haicheng District. Since Xu Jianglin's death, the old man was too sad, and the birthday banquet was for the whole family to have a meal together, but there was never a reunion...
Today, their two sons-in-law specially put down their work and got together to talk with the old man, and they also did their filial piety.
"Xiao Che, this kid is usually very punctual, why hasn't he arrived today?"
"My brother is busy right now. Amman kept swiping his phone and casually responded.
Mother Xu's dress today is also very formal. Ever since the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, she had rarely cleaned herself up. Today, I thought that if Jiang Yao could come... Thinking of this, she looked helpless: "I heard Manman say that Xiao Che's child is now single again......"
Now Xu's mother is most concerned about Xu Che's emotional problems, and she hopes that she can't let this child get married early, have children, and live a normal life.
Jiang Yao's girl, she really liked it after seeing it, but it was a pity that her grandson was not very good. In the words of the young man, he has always been a so-called single dog.
She originally wanted to let her old lady come forward to persuade Jiang Yao, but in the matter of their young people, if she didn't participate well, it would make Xiao Che's side embarrassed, so she simply hung her heart and waited for news at home.
"It's not that I'm talking about him, his temper is the same as my brother's, and it won't work if you don't change it. Xu Yin wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "I don't think there is a girl in the world who can bear it." ”
"A-Yin......" An Zhongqi shook his head at her. Why mention the deceased at the birthday party in front of the elderly, isn't this only to increase the sadness?
"Mom, there is a young man named Ji Han, have you heard Xiao Che say it?"
"Ji Han. Hearing this, Mother Xu fell into memories again, and after thinking about it for a long time, there was no character in her mind that could overlap with this name. But she remembered another picture, Lin Qing at that time, his eyes were sluggish, and he would always call Xiao Che Xiao Han. Only then can there be God in the eyes.
"Over the years, there has been no big mistake between the Cloud Palace and the extravagance side, and ordinary people can't find out there, two days ago, the Cloud Palace made a fuss, and it was rectified. There was a child named Ji Han over there, and he was not very old. Xiao Che was mentioned several times in the survey. Listening to those people say that when Xiao Che was mentioned, the smile on his face was particularly weird. ”
Who doesn't know the name of Xu Che among his subordinates? Those people hate to be courteous in front of him. So during the investigation, when Ji Han mentioned Xu Che's name, someone had already reported to him.
An Zhongqi contacted Xu Che afterwards and asked him for his name, but he didn't elaborate. After all, it was a matter between children, and he promised Xu Che not to interfere, but he was very curious.
"Ji Han, I know, he was the one who caused my brother to break up. When my brother mentioned him, he hated to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Amman didn't bother to play with his mobile phone, so he approached the adults. Explain the inside story you know one by one: "I also heard from a few of my brother's friends that something happened in the Cloud Palace, and it was my brother who did ......it."
According to Xu Che's temper, even if others move what he throws away, he can't let it go easily. Not to mention the people he cares about...
"Ordinary girls from normal families, who can accept Xiao Che's temperament? At the beginning, I proposed to let him study abroad, and broke off with these messy people in my family. None of you are reluctant. "Meng Yaoguo is Xu Jie's husband. Usually doting on this nephew. It can also be seen that sooner or later his nephew will follow his father's old path. I persuaded my family early in the morning, but no one listened, and they were reluctant to let this child go abroad alone.
"If you don't say it as an afterthought, don't say it. Xiao Che's temper, he doesn't want to go, even if you send him abroad, he won't come back?" Xu Jie fiddled with the diamond ring in his hand.
Meng Yaoguo is the number one in the education sector in Haicheng District, when he fell in love with Xu Jie, he had just landed, and the assigned work did not even go to the first day of reporting, so he was directly transferred to the district office as the director.
Those people are very red at him, and he is also capable. Others say that he is a relation, so he relies on his strength to win the respect of these people.
Before Xu Jianglin's death, he had not been able to sit in the first position. In the two years after Xu Jianglin's death, he successfully became the number one. Now no one is finally saying that he was promoted by connections. Again, no one dares to say it, so in this era, only those with power have something to say.
Xu Jie is also a smart person, she helped Xu Jianglin manage the company at the beginning, and also bought a lot of real estate and business. Although it is not as large as the previous Xu's Group, it is also well-known in Haicheng.
There are no outsiders at today's birthday party, and these meals on the table are also prepared by the nanny according to everyone's preferences. Among the children in the family, Xu Che is the oldest, and the other younger siblings are in junior high school, high school, and about to go to university. There are people of all ages, but they get along very well.
Only when Xu Che was mentioned, a flash of fear flashed in their eyes, and everyone was afraid of him. In the family's chat, although they were complaining about Xu Che, they still revealed their doting and helplessness for him.
When the doorbell rang, the corners of Xu Mu's mouth rose significantly: "Manman, go and open the door for your brother." ”
......
Chen Hao, Wei Wu and those people discussed all night, smoked less, drank less, and didn't come up with an idea. Xu Che no longer put his hope in them...
His own woman chases by herself, this is the real skill.
As a person who has come over, Chen Yu's words have a lot of credibility. What was the trouble between her and Wei Wu at the beginning, Xu Che also saw it. How the two people reconciled, he should also know.
She said that she and Jiang Yao are going through this stage now, and if they get through it, they can not care about each other and stay together, if they can't survive......
So Xu Che decided that he would disappear in front of Jiang Yao during this time, and he would clear all these obstacles as much as possible. The premise is that Jiang Yao must not do anything that makes her angry, such as getting close to a man......
Ji Han received a call from Xu Che on the way back from the investigation. He laughed silently, he didn't expect Xu Che to be so crazy. In order to bring himself down, he even disregarded his personal safety.
Did you miscalculate? It's still a bit of a problem. However, the real battle has not yet begun.
"You gave me a surprise before, and I also returned one to you. How does it feel?" Xu Che sat in the dark, the cigarette butt between his fingers flickering on and off. Anyway, Jiang Yao is not here, and she will not come back anyway, only in the smoke can he relax himself.
"Ruthless enough!" Ji Han turned on the phone, put it aside, and clapped his hands vigorously.
The applause came from the phone, but Xu Che was amused by his actions: "Let's both of us each other." ”
"Guess what, then. What's the next surprise?" Ji Han put the phone to his ear again and smiled evilly. Looking out the window at the dark night, is it going to snow?
"Then let's look forward to each other, I have a surprise for you. After Xu Che finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Before making this call, he had already considered the current situation clearly, he was a weakness when Jiang Yao was there, and he had to take care of her. But now Ji Han already knows very well that Jiang Yao broke up with him without any nostalgia, so his goal will not be on Jiang Yao.
So just now he said so confidently that he wanted to prepare a surprise for himself, what kind of surprise was it?
......
New Year's Day is Grandma Xu's birthday...
Xu Xuche estimated the time to go out, wearing a long woolen jacket, standing at the gate of the school, which was a charming landscape. For those juniors who did not shy away from appreciating them, Xu Che frowned irritably. If Jiang Yao didn't show up, he was afraid that he couldn't wait to rush in.
He knew that Jiang Yao's temperament was relatively stubborn, and it was the most difficult to deal with a woman who ate hard and not soft. It is precisely because of her temperament that she has great respect for the elderly. When I met my grandmother before, she was humble and polite. So Xu Che, at Chen Yu's suggestion, waited until today to intercept her at the school gate.
As long as she said that she would accompany her to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, after all, the old man was looking forward to it, Jiang Yao should not refuse.
"Director Jiang doesn't seem to be there, I just looked for it, but there was no one. Chen Hao walked out of the campus out of breath.
"Not there?" Xu Che frowned and turned on the tracking software on his phone. Some time ago, he also downloaded a tracking software on Jiang Yao's mobile phone, which just happened to check each other's locations. So these days, he is relieved of Jiang Yao, because her coordinates have always been in the staff building at the back door of the school.
The map shows that Jiang Yao is at the high-speed rail station at this time, and Xu Che has a cold face: "She wants to go back to Bincheng District, at the high-speed rail station." ”
"Why is Director Jiang like this, he didn't say that he was on the same road with me, I was going too, and the tickets were all bought. Chen Hao smiled wryly.
This New Year's Day holiday is relatively long, and these unrighteous guys in the dormitory have all gone home. Chen Hao plans to go to Bincheng to run around, and he can't let Lu Wenjing come here every time he comes here to find him, and the boy has to take the initiative.
"Are you going?" Xu Che put away his phone and turned around to the driver's seat.
"Of course. Chen Hao happily opened the co-pilot's door, but was frightened by Xu Che's gaze and honestly returned to the back seat.
Except for Jiang Yao, no one can be his co-pilot...
Jiang Yao's current position has always been at the high-speed rail station, and the accelerator under Xu Che's feet has not stopped, speeding all the way to the high-speed rail station.
"I don't understand why you're in such a hurry, she should be in a ride with me, and the train will leave in 20 minutes. Chen Hao was so shaken that he was about to vomit, and he slowed down for a long time after getting out of the car.
Xu Che didn't care about him, and walked in in a hurry. He glanced at the phone number as it rang. At this time, the family called, just urging themselves to go back early.
was about to receive Jiang Yao, and he could surprise his grandmother, thinking of this, he pressed the answer button with a relaxed expression.
"Xiao Che. Your grandma is in the hospital now!"
This call was made by An Zhongqi, who has been a leader for many years and has a steady atmosphere. Even if it's a big deal going on in the bureau. He has never lost his temper in front of people. In this short sentence, his tone was very hurried. This is a bad premonition for Xu Che, grandma must be in danger.
He stopped, looked at the crowded high-speed rail station, and finally made up his mind, turned to Chen Hao and said, "Regardless of whether you are on the same train with her or not, find her and go back with her." ”
"What's going on?"
"My grandmother is in the hospital. Xu Che turned around and left a sentence.
Chen Hao looked at him in confusion and hurriedly left the high-speed rail station. After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly looked for Jiang Yao in the crowd, and when he saw the familiar figure in the waiting room, he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked up to her with a smile.
I haven't been able to receive a single message from Xu Che these days, and I expected it. They had had a cold war for a week before, and now it's only been a week, so he should be patient.
It stands to reason that if he doesn't contact himself, it should be what he expects.
But now her heart is conflicted. From the school to the high-speed rail station, she had countless glances back, and she felt that Xu Che would appear behind her at a certain moment, with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth, but no.
In the hustle and bustle of the waiting room, she wore headphones, but no song was playing, because she was waiting for someone to call his name, whether she would say yes or not.
She inadvertently turned around and saw Chen Hao's smiling face. The corners of her mouth rose silently, but after looking around, she didn't see Xu Che's figure, and the corners of her mouth drooped quietly.
There is no word to describe her current mood, she knows that an adult can be so contradictory, it is nothing more than cheap panic. Truly.
It's obvious that he wants to break up with him, and he obviously wants to stay away from him, but he hopes that he can stick to his side and persuade him to go back by domineering means.
O man!
"I'm going to find Lu Wenjing, Director Jiang will leave a back door!" Chen Hao sat beside Jiang Yao with a hippie smile.
"How many did you talk about this time?"
"Oh my God, let's stop dwelling on that topic. I'm actually a very serious person, and I don't cast a wide net, I only talk about one at a time. As long as they can associate with me, I will treat them well. ”
"......" crookedly, Jiang Yao smiled, turned on the music on her phone, took the headphones, and looked ahead.
"Director Jiang, don't believe it. Others are romantic when they fall in love, what is love at first sight, and love will last a long time. I'm such a philistine, as long as I can talk, no matter how beautiful or ugly I am. I'm okay with that, and I'm planning to get married after I graduate. Chen Hao said a lot over there alone, although Jiang Yao was in a mocking tone, Chen Hao could feel that she was not very disgusted with her relationship with Lu Wenjing.
Jiang Yao raised her eyes and looked into the distance in a daze: "Actually, most people's love is like you, those romantic loves are very charming, but they are also very hurtful." ”
This topic was too profound, Chen Hao didn't understand it, and pretended to be careless to provoke a topic.
"Director Jiang, it was Xu Che who drove me to the high-speed rail station just now. Originally, they were going to wait here with me for the bus. He answered a phone call and left in a hurry, it should be something big at home. ”
Chen Hao and Jiang Yao are both acting, they don't talk about the relationship between the two, and Chen Hao can't directly say that Xu Che came to her, so he can only remind him sideways.
Jiang Yao's hand that was wrapping around the earphones paused, and the expression on his face also froze for a moment, and he quickly reacted.
"Hmm. ”
"......," Chen Hao sighed softly. No wonder even Chen Yu said that Jiang Yao was a ruthless woman, but she had been with Xiao Che for so long. When I heard that something happened at his house, I didn't even blink my eyelids......
"Let's go, go check in. Jiang Yao had already pushed the topic aside when he spoke, and Chen Hao did not continue to ask.
......
When Amman Huan jumped and ran to open the door, he saw an unfamiliar face outside the door, very handsome, and had a fight with his brother. Although people are smiling, they still look and feel that something is not quite right.
"You are?"
"I heard that today is the old lady's birthday, and I came to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Ji Han picked the tail of his eyes and looked Xu Che's sister up and down. He was jealous to death, and every child in this room was enough for him to envy.
They have sound families and good backgrounds. But what about him?
"Hurry up and let your brother in!" Xu Mu specially turned the bracelet on her wrist and looked nervously at the door.
I haven't seen my grandson for more than a week, and he is now experiencing a change in his relationship, and he doesn't know if he is fat or thin.
"Grandma, not my brother. ”
"Grandma Xu, hello, I'm Ji Han. Ji Han came uninvited, and when Amman turned his head to talk to his family, he built the door himself.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the door at this moment, except for An Zhongqi, everyone else was full of doubts, curious about this uninvited stranger, especially when he called Grandma Xu affectionately.
An Zhongqi had already seen Ji Han's photos before, the relationship between him and Xu Che was so tense, but he came uninvited, what was the conspiracy?
"You must be curious about me, so let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Han, and my parents always called me Xiao Han when I was a child. Growing up in an orphanage, the director's surname is Ji, so my surname is Ji now. ”
"I know, you were the one who designed my brother to break up. When Amman heard the name, his expression immediately became angry. The first time I saw him, there was nothing else but coldness. But now that she understands it, she is disgusted.
