Chapter 45: Reunion
At the beginning of March, the annual Anxi City People's Congress was held.
Liu Hong and Wang Gang met again at the National People's Congress.
Now Liu Hong is even more red and purple than in the previous two years. She is not only a well-known and successful person, but also a famous female news anchor, and a young and promising female director, and she is no longer the frank, pungent and inferior country girl.
Sparrow becomes phoenix?
Potato blossom race over peony?
Cinderella turned into Snow White?
In Liu Hong's view, none of these folk sayings can accurately express his own growth and transformation.
Liu Hong was wearing a set of bright red suit skirts, a small green silk scarf around his neck, and a pair of delicate high-heeled leather shoes, and walked proudly in front of Wang Gang with full confidence.
Wang Gang happened to raise his head and saw Liu Hong, so he immediately greeted her: "Director Liu, hello!"
Liu Hong heard Wang Gang call his name, so he stopped his arrogant footsteps and slowly turned his head, with a noble and kind smile on his face, and a gentle look in his eyes towards Wang Gang.
Although Wang Gang is a lingering pain in Liu Hong's heart, this pain has become both heavier and lighter after the reunion. The important thing is that Liu Hong, who is now smooth sailing and like a fish in water, has had such a failure, and he is really unwilling in his heart. The light thing is that Liu Hong is now in a high position, and the men who appreciate and admire him are all great men, far hundreds of times stronger than Wang Gang.
In the last brief exchange with Wang Gang, she still did not capture the expression of feelings she expected on his face, and only saw the politeness and accurate grasp of classmates and fellow villagers. This made her a little inexplicably disappointed and lost.
The result of my struggle is even better than that of your Wang Gang. Liu Hong's heart felt a little comforted and balanced, and he even had a psychological advantage over Wang Gang. What's more, Liu Hong has long regarded others as the man he admires the most. She had no time for anything else. As a result, Wang Gang's once great image gradually faded and blurred in her heart.
Wang Gang naturally understands in his heart that Liu Hong is no longer the little girl who is coquettish in the countryside, nor is she an obscure "stinky hydrangea", but a famous and powerful woman in Anxi City. Her style and style of dealing with the world are very high-profile and strong, and even the domineering of leading cadres is legendary.
To be honest, the first meeting with Liu Hong after many years once caused a ripple in Wang Gang's heart. After all, Niu Yuehong, who was a girl, left a good impression in his heart, and there was a trace of guilt that he was indifferent to this girl back then. Today's Liu Hong has made him look at this old classmate with admiration. He has a natural affinity for Liu Hong, and he also pays attention to this female classmate who had boldly pursued him back then. However, he gradually felt the estrangement and distance between the two. On the one hand, Liu Hong's high-profile and strong leadership style and way of doing things have caused discussions in the political arena of Anxi City, which made him feel that this old classmate may have to look at him differently. On the other hand, he also vaguely felt that Liu Hong had some kind of deliberate indifference to him. He couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly: Maybe the knot she made when she was a student hasn't been opened yet.
Liu Hong smiled and greeted Wang Gang politely, saying nothing more than nonsense about the weather, body and work.
Ye Peiying, director of the Anxi City Cultural Bureau, walked over, took Liu Hong's hand and said, "Liu Tai, I'm looking for you everywhere." We, the Cultural Affairs Bureau, are about to launch a cultural activity in the countryside, and we would like to ask the reporters of your TV station to help publicize it. ”
Liu Hong said briskly: "Director Ye, you're polite. That's a big deal. It is the unshirkable duty of our television station to complete the propaganda tasks assigned by the municipal party committee and the municipal government. ”
The two women talked enthusiastically.
Wang Gang saw that he couldn't join their topic, so he had to say politely: "There are people waiting for me outside, so I will leave first." ”
Looking at the back of Wang Gang who was walking away, Ye Peiying asked Liu Hong curiously, "Are you familiar with Wang Gang?"
"Average. Liu Hong is reluctant to share her experiences with others, especially the unpleasant past.
Ye Peiying playfully teased: "Come on, the expressions and eyes of the two of you have already told me, there must be a story between you." ”
Liu Hong suddenly felt a little fever on his face, and said angrily: "You will make fun of me." No more nonsense, I won't send reporters to promote you!"
Then, the two women laughed "haha".
Liu Hong raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "Oops, time flies so fast." I have to go back to the TV station. ”
Ye Peiying said with a smile: "You are really true." Originally, the director's work was so busy, you still have to anchor the news, and you don't want your life?"
Liu Hong also replied with a smile: "The director is just a temporary position. Broadcasting is my lifelong career. ”
Ye Peiying smiled mysteriously and said: "That's right, the director is your temporary position, and the future position is beckoning to you!"
Liu Hong said angrily: "you." Are you trying to make me the queen?"
Ye Peiying returned with a smile: "Empress Wu Zetian." ”
Liu Hong pretended to be angry and glared at Ye Peiying and said, "Nonsense!"
Liu Hong trotted all the way to the parking lot, got into the car that was waiting for him there, and hurriedly drove to the TV station.
Liu Hong suddenly found Wang Gang and the two men walking on the sidewalk on the side of the road in front of him. She motioned to the driver, Xiao Jia, to slow down and observe them curiously:
Wang Gang walked on the left near the road. To his right is a middle-aged woman, slender and tall, with short haircuts, a delicate face, and a very pleasing look in her dress. The middle-aged woman's right hand was a middle school student about the same size as Wang Gang.
It seems that this is Wang Gang's family of three? Liu Hong pondered and observed carefully. Wang Gang's wife is actually a little similar to himself, especially the neat energy when he gestures and the expression when he speaks! Wang Gang's son seems to be also called Long Long, except that his skin is fairer than Zhao Xiaolong, and the whole person is also a little similar to Zhao Xiaolong.
What the hell is going on? Liu Hong's heart turned upside down, and his eyes blurred......
"Liu Tai, shall we go?" Xiao Jia woke up Liu Hong.
Liu Hong immediately said, "Let's go." ”
For the first time, Xiao Jia saw the iron-man Liu Hong crying. In order to divert Liu Hong's thoughts, he took the opportunity to say: "Liu Tai, my former comrade-in-arms Xiao Zhang's unit has been reorganized. He bought out his seniority and was idle, and wanted to drive the TV station. ”
Liu Hong said: "Okay. Our unit just happens to be short of drivers. You introduce him in, let the team and the political office look at it, and you can hire him if there are no problems. ”
Xiao Jia said happily: "Okay." ”
Back at the TV station, Liu Hong kept reading scripts, putting on makeup, and recording programs.
Xiao Jia ran to the convoy and the political office to inform him that Liu Tai was going to arrange a driver surnamed Zhang and let them do a good job of receiving them.
On the evening of this day, Liu Hong had a dream that made her feel strange: Liu Hong and Wang Gang, who were in the prime of their cardamom years, held a wedding ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in Anxi City. The audience was full of guests, including leaders of the municipal party committee and government, colleagues from the TV station and the white-haired stationmaster Feng. When the two sides began to exchange rings, Wang Gang suddenly turned around and ran away in anger. Liu Hong anxiously shouted: "Come back, come back......"
Zhao Qingsong, who was sleeping next to Liu Hong, was awakened by her shouting. He hurriedly woke up Liu Hong and asked, "What kind of nightmare did you have? The screaming is too terrifying!"
Liu Hong was stunned and muttered, "It's nothing." ”
Within a few days, Xiao Zhang, introduced by Xiao Jia, went to work at the TV station.
A few days later, Xiao Jia introduced four more comrades-in-arms to the TV station to apply for drivers.
However, there are only three vacant posts in the convoy, and these four people are all arranged by Liu Tai. The team and the political office didn't know how to make a trade-off, so they came to ask Liu Hong.
Liu Hong was busy reading the documents, and without raising his head, he said: "You will be selected according to the regulations and selected on the basis of merit." ”
As a result, three people were hired, and one named Xiao Hei was hired.
A few days later, a woman came to the gate of Anxi TV station, clamoring to go to the TV station leader.
When the doorman saw that she was in a bad attitude and rude language, he did not let her in.
The woman stood in the middle of the gate, put her hands on her waist, and shouted: "The leaders of your TV station can't eat enough to feed or get fat, and they don't do anything after taking our family's money! A bunch of white-eyed wolves! It's all Huang Shiren!"
When the employees of the TV station heard the shouting and scolding, they all ran out to watch the excitement. This is more interesting news than the headlines of "Anzai News".
After Liu Hong heard the noise, he arranged for the director of the office to take the woman to his office and sternly asked her who she was and why she was messing around with the TV station.
The woman replied confidently, "I'm Blackie's wife." You took so much money from our family, but you didn't hire Xiao Hei. Tell me about it today!"
Liu Hong asked loudly: "You tell me clearly, who is the TV station who collects your family's money?"
Xiao Hei's wife blurted out: "Director Liu!"
Liu Hong was furious when he heard this: "I am Liu Hong." How much money did I, when, where, receive from your family?
Xiao Hei's wife looked at Liu Hong in a daze, and was speechless.
At this time, Xiao Jia went to the post office to pick up the package for Liu Hong, and as soon as he entered Liu Hong's office, he was seen by Xiao Hei's wife.
Xiao Hei's wife's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "Xiao Jia, you are really good to come! You say, did you transfer the two woolen sweaters and 1,000 yuan I gave to Director Liu?"
Xiao Jia is a clever person, and when he saw Xiao Hei's wife, he immediately interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with Liu Tai. You come with me, and I'll make it clear to you. ”
Liu Hong shouted loudly: "You are not allowed to leave! Xiao Jia, you tell me clearly, what is going on?"
Xiao Jia knew that he couldn't hide it from Liu Hong, so he had to say curtly: "We don't have any drivers vacant." My sister-in-law didn't know yet, so ......"
Liu Hong angrily reprimanded: "So one person accepts other people's money without authorization, and the other person goes to the door of the TV station to scold the street, who gives you the right? Ah? What do you think of our TV station? Xiao Jia, you will be suspended from now on for inspection!"
Xiao Hei's wife realized that she had misunderstood Liu Hong, and quickly apologized and exited the office.
Xiao Jia also quickly slipped out.
Liu Hong not only ordered Xiao Jia to return the money he received, but also did a deep inspection of the office team.
Since then, Liu Hong has not only strict requirements for himself, but also strict management of the people around him, and is not allowed to use his own banner to fake public and private interests.
The rest of the Niu family also lived their own lives.
Zhao Qingsong continued to work in the Propaganda Department of the Public Security Department as the deputy section chief.
In the fall of this year, Liu Hong's son Long Long should go to junior high school. She moved Long Long's hukou to the hukou book of her eldest brother Niu Xinguo very early. Because Niu Xinguo's home is within the school district of Anxi No. 1 Middle School, a key middle school in Hexi Province. In this way, the dragon dragon can be justifiably hit the ground. Anxi No. 1 Middle School is the best middle school in the province, with a 100% university admission rate, and the top 10 are determined to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Niu Xinguo was promoted to the Department of Land and Resources as a discipline inspection secretary and had great power. With Liu Hong's resolute support, he divorced Fang Lin, who was shrewd, strong, and sometimes vexatious, and married a young and beautiful, Chinese-Russian Hexi TV host Du Niya.
People are privately saying that it was Liu Hong who introduced his good friend to Niu Xinguo as his wife.
Niu Xinjiang's career is as unpopular as his character, and he is unknown as the deputy director of the Provincial Education Commission. He and Zhou Meili gave birth to a well-behaved daughter, Tian Tian. A family of three is also happy.
