It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and the dinner party of the "Fate Gathering" meal bag was over, and most of the people drank in confusion.

Xiao Wanting yelled that she wanted to go upstairs to KTV to sing, but Tian Xin politely refused with "there are still things to arrange". Saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Tian Xin took the lead in leaving Yanyun Building.

"Male god, let's go and sing. Xiao Wanting's tongue was already a little stiff.

"No, I have a friend here, and I don't bother to talk to him during the day, and I have to go to him at night. Chu Tianqi lied.

"Really, you're not going to catch up with some people, are you?" Xiao Wanting said, turning her head to look.

Zhou Tong immediately blushed and gouged out his eyes at the little junior sister, the meaning was obvious: Shut up, you are the gossipier.

Xiao Wanting didn't pay attention to Zhou Tong's "warning", but continued to turn her head to look, and muttered: "You are a family person now, and you must not be too ...... with other women"

Chu Tianqi looked at Yue Jiani and interrupted Xiao Wanting's words: "Take care of Xiao Wanting, she drank too much." ”

"Why do you always ask me to take care of your ......" Halfway through the words, Yue Jiani didn't continue.

Dong Zixuan couldn't help blushing, she knew the meaning of the word "always" in Yue Jiani's mouth, and she also felt a little ashamed of Yue Jiani. At the wine table just now, when he hit back at Xiao Wanting, he also brought Yue Jiani, which is so wrong, and he is ashamed of the person who is kind to him.

Of course, Chu Tianqi also understood what Yue Jiani was referring to, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Yue Jiani knew that her words were wrong, so she no longer spoke, but went to support Xiao Wanting.

Xiao Wanting didn't stop, but asked again: "Chu Tianqi, don't lie to people, really go to find your friend, where is your friend?"

Chu Tianqi couldn't cry or laugh: "He lives in ...... Anyway, it's not far away, I'll go find him first. ”

Waving his hand at everyone, Chu Tianqi left the meal bag and walked out of Yanyun Mansion to the side of the road.

I don't know if it's because of the large number of taxis, or just in time for this time period, there are almost 20 taxis passing on the road, and none of them are empty.

Finally, a taxi stopped on the side of the road, Chu Tianqi opened the door, sat on it, and said the direction of his home.

The driver replied "Holo", and the taxi rushed forward.

Although Chu Tianqi said that he had also drunk a lot of wine today, after all, the amount of alcohol was there, and he didn't react too much except that he felt a little hot on his body.

Thinking of Xiao Wanting and Dong Zixuan's fighting methods, thinking of people drinking hard tongues, and thinking of those people who frequently toasted to themselves, Chu Tianqi was very emotional. Of course, he also remembered some people, and there was helplessness and disgust in his heart.

There are no more cars on the road, there is no congestion, and it is impossible to run quickly. The car walked for about half an hour, turned three intersections, crossed two more streets, and it was time to arrive.

"Ding", a short bell rings.

Chu Tianqi took out his mobile phone, a text message popped up on the screen, and after clicking on the text message, a text appeared on it: What if you haven't arrived home, will you? Delay you for a while, go to the 'Jingyi' tea room on Xueyuan Road to sit down. Be sure to enjoy the light.

After carefully identifying the sending number, Chu Tianqi couldn't help muttering in his heart: Xueyuan Road, sit down. What are you sitting on? Is that what is there to say? Isn't that ......

Just thinking to himself, a "Xueyuan Road" sign appeared in front of him on the left side of his gaze, and Chu Tianqi hurriedly said: "Xueyuan Road 'Jingyi' Tea Room." ”

The driver said "oh" and said in the rearview mirror: "Fortunately, you said it in time, if you are dozens of seconds late, you will not be able to turn around." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't answer, and was muttering in his head again: What are you sitting on?

Just when Chu Tianqi was muttering, in a guest room in the Yanyun Building, there was a person who was also muttering: Do you want to do that?

……

The taxi stopped outside the 'Jingyi' teahouse, and Chu Tianqi paid the fare and ran to the teahouse.

As soon as I entered the tea room, a tall girl greeted me and asked with a smile, "Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?"

Chu Tianqi said the content of the second text message: "'Tranquility and far-reaching', Ms. Dong. ”

"Okay, that's it. The girl leaned slightly sideways and gestured.

Under the guidance of the girl, Chu Tianqi went up to the second floor.

In the northeast corner, there is a room, and above the door is the words "Tranquility and Far-reaching".

Coming to the front of the house, the girl stretched out her hand and signaled, "Sir, it's here." ”

At this moment, the door of the house opened from the inside, and Dong Zixuan stood inside the door with a smile on her face.

Saying "thank you" to the girl, Chu Tianqi walked into the house.

Dong Zixuan closed the door of the house, quickly followed, and said softly: "Please inside." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't speak, and according to the other party's instructions, he went directly into the inner room suite.

There is a tea table in the suite, and there are all kinds of tea utensils.

Motioning for Chu Tianqi to take a seat, Dong Zixuan poured a cup of tea and said, "Mayor Chu, I calculated the time of your arrival, brewed it in advance, and it is just right now." ”

Chu Tianqi said directly: "Don't call it that. What's the matter?"

Dong Zixuan also sat down and responded: "Let me explain to you first, I'm not arguing with Xiao Wanting, she is a child, and I don't have the same knowledge as her." Besides, starting from the very beginning, it is still up to me, and I was like that to you at the beginning, and she was also upset. The second thing to explain is that Qiao Yang was not notified by me, and I didn't tell him about doing things for Teacher Tian. A few days ago, I received a call from Yue Jiani, but I didn't mention it to anyone except for asking who would come at the time. ”

In the taxi just now, Yue Jiani called and explained to Chu Tianqi that she had not informed Qiao Yang. Now it seems that it is not Dong Zixuan, then it should be someone else.

Dong Zixuan continued: "I asked you to come now, I specially reminded you that you must guard against Qiao Yang, that person's scheming is as good as I was at the beginning. And he is also extremely forbearing, and his methods are ruthless, when he was the deputy captain of the economic investigation detachment of the city bureau, Leng sent the captain to prison. Of course, the captain was at fault, if it wasn't for his operation, it would have been a transfer at most. Very few people know about this, and I am one of those who know, and I have not told anyone but you. Also, when he first entered the city from the county, he was still ......"

Oh, I see. On the way here just now, Chu Tianqi also thought of Qiao Yang, but he didn't think of specific matters. With his relationship with Dong Zixuan, he believed what she said now, and he also saw Qiao Yang's character. So he nodded: "Thank you! I also saw that this person was not authentic, and there was a big problem with his character, so I didn't bother to take care of him." ”

Dong Zixuan said slowly: "I can see it, everyone can see it, Qiao Yang himself should know that you are not interested in him." Although I was training at the Provincial Department of Education during this time, I had already heard about the demolition of the original south shantytown a few days ago, and I had also heard about the role that Qiao Yang played in it, and I also heard that he had repeatedly asked to see him and was rejected by you. In fact, at that time, I wanted to remind you, and I was worried that I couldn't say it clearly on the phone, so I happened to receive a call from Yue Jiani, and I was waiting to tell you today.

Now that the city has not dealt with Qiao Yang, I think he must still be investigating, and he should know that he wants to get some kind of shelter from you. After all, you went to the scene at the time, and you were the leader in charge of the city, and you were still his classmate, so he had illusions. It's just that he will feel that there is little hope when he hits a wall with you again and again, especially if what happened today is likely to make him completely dead. He will think that you are unsympathetic, and he will inevitably be resentful of you, and then act against you.

Let's take that incident as an example, the captain he got rid of at the beginning has a lot of problems, but his character is much stronger than him. In order to replace it, he said that he would do it, and he would do it ruthlessly. As the old saying goes, 'It is better to offend a hundred gentlemen than to offend one villain'. Offending the villain is a heavy price, and the villain can't afford to offend. ”

Chu Tianqi didn't answer immediately, but said in his heart: I don't know, but I'm also helpless.

Before that day, Chu Tianqi had already learned a lot about Qiao Yang, mainly after going to Woyuan. Although Qiao Yang was an enemy of himself many times when he was in the party school, after all, he was a classmate, and Chu Tianqi planned to get to know each other well and see how he would get along in the future. Of course, he didn't know Qiao Yang alone, as long as he was a classmate in Woyuan City, he tried his best to understand it.

Through understanding, Chu Tianqi knew that compared to the problems of several classmates, Qiao Yang could be said to have a bad record. He used his current status to engage in many violations of law and discipline, especially his behavior at the demolition site that day, which fully illustrates his insidiousness. From then on, Chu Tianqi decided not to associate with such a person, and he had to find out this kid at a critical moment.

Later, when Qiao Yang asked to see him several times, Chu Tianqi also muttered, wanting to see if Qiao Yang would repent. If Qiao Yang can really change his past mistakes, he can consider taking a light shot. But the fact is that while Qiao Yang was looking for himself, he didn't take any measures to make up for his mistakes, but instead wanted to pull himself as a shield, and at the same time did everything possible to cover up his previous crimes.

Since this person is already bad to the bone, Chu Tianqi naturally can't contact him, lest he make a fuss about himself, which will not only affect the relevant investigation, but also be detrimental to his reputation. Of course, he also knew that this would only attract his hatred for himself, but he couldn't care about it so much.

It is said that Qiao Yang came as a classmate today, and it is said that he should be able to get by. But Chu Tianqi knew that Qiao Yang saw this and wanted to make a fuss about today's things, so he couldn't give him room to use it.

However, after listening to what Dong Zixuan said just now, Chu Tianqi also realized the profound meaning of "a thief bites and enters the bone for three points".

Raising his head, Chu Tianqi said sincerely: "Thank you, thank you for your help a few times." ”

"Don't say that, what I've done is nothing compared to your kindness to me, I just hope that these reminders of mine can help you somewhat. Dong Zixuan's words were sincere, her voice trembled, and she obviously remembered the past again. But she still emphasized the sentence, "The villain can't afford to offend." ”
