On the morning of April 28, Chu Tianqi left the office and hurried to Yanyun City on the "Santana 2000". He went to the provincial capital this time at the request of Dong Zixuan by phone, and asked him to talk about the housing reform fund.

Two days ago, Dong Zixuan called Chu Tianqi, expressing his willingness to help him sincerely and asking him to wait for the call. Chu Tianqi was very puzzled about her willingness to help at first, not knowing what her purpose was, nor what her sincerity was.

The grievances between himself and Dong Zixuan have a long history, when he was a colleague in Woyuan City No. 1 Middle School, Dong Zixuan used despicable means to make himself lose the qualification to be selected as the advanced in the province; Since then, Chu Tianqi has hated Dong Zixuan, and Dong Zixuan has both contempt and hatred for Chu Tianqi.

Since leaving Woyuan No. 1 Middle School and returning to work in Yuchi County, the grievances between Chu Tianqi and Dong Zixuan have been temporarily shelved. I never thought that the road was narrow, and the two became classmates in the Provincial Party School, Dong Zixuan used various resources and convenient conditions to slander and attack Chu Tianqi, and he would like to put him to death as soon as possible. In several encounters, Dong Zixuan had forced Chu Tianqi into a predicament, causing Chu Tianqi a lot of trouble. Fortunately, with the help of other classmates, the truth of the facts was restored, and Chu Tianqi was innocent.

Soon after, everyone participated in the outward bound training, Dong Zixuan suddenly fainted in the air, and at the last moment, Chu Tianqi risked his life to save Dong Zixuan. After being discharged from the hospital, Dong Zixuan returned directly to Woyuan City and quit the party school halfway. Chu Tianqi was also able to complete the rest of the party school life relatively calmly, and on the eve of graduation, he heard a message of goodwill from Dong Zixuan, which was at least a signal of reconciliation.

After returning to Yuchi County from the party school, Chu Tianqi encountered a series of things, and his overall career was not smooth, especially the suppression of Ke Xingwang, the new secretary of the county party committee, was the most tricky. One day in the summer of that year, Dong Zixuan suddenly came to Yuchi County, confessed to Chu Tianqi, and wanted to help Chu Tianqi. Under Dong Zixuan's design, Chu Tianqi and Ke Xingwang, secretary of the county party committee, met officially for the first time, but the result backfired, not only did not ease the relationship between the two, but tore the faces of both parties. After expressing her apologies and helplessness, Dong Zixuan also returned to Woyuan City. Since that time, Chu Tianqi and Dong Zixuan have not met again, but Chu Tianqi has already understood that Dong Zixuan is indeed "turning enemies into friends" with him.

Although Dong Zixuan made it clear that she was remorseful, and although she should not go against herself again, when she received a call from Dong Zixuan yesterday to take the initiative to help, Chu Tianqi muttered again. The last time Dong Zixuan helped, it was to mediate the conflict between herself and Ke Xingwang, but this time if you want to help, you need to face Dong Jianjian. Dong Jianshe is her father, is it necessary for her to fall out with his father because of herself?

Judging from the short meeting with Dong Jianshe that day, Dong Jianshe was not ready to reconcile with himself at all, to be precise, Zhang Pengfei or Zhang Tiankai behind Dong Jianshe did not want to let go of himself. Although he can make appropriate concessions for the sake of the overall situation of the work, he will never compromise on principle, let alone exchange his servility for benefits. Judging from reality, the contradictions between himself and Dong Jianshe are almost irreconcilable, and there is no possibility of a win-win situation at all. So if Dong Zixuan wants to help herself, she will inevitably hurt her father, will she do this for herself? She doesn't need to wade into this troubled water at all, as long as she doesn't participate in any party, she is already helping herself.

So, could she have been used by her father or Zhang Pengfei? Maybe, but it's unlikely, she must know very well how those two people behave, and she shouldn't be at their mercy. Although he had doubts, Chu Tianqi believed that Dong Zixuan definitely did not have the intention of harming himself. Therefore, as soon as he received her call today, Chu Tianqi greeted the mayor and rushed to the provincial capital as soon as possible.

Of course, when reporting to Wang Yongxin, Chu Tianqi did not say that Dong Zixuan had an appointment with him, but only said "go to the construction hall to have a look". Wang Yongxin didn't get to the bottom of it, but just said, "If you have time, go to the provincial government to have a look." Chu Tianqi understood what the other party meant, so he vaguely responded with a vague sentence of "look at the time".

After a few hours of traveling, the provincial capital was already in sight, and the car just got off the highway. Chu Tianqi took out his mobile phone and dialed Dong Zixuan's number, ready to tell the other party that he had arrived, and asked her where to meet. Even though it was already past lunch, Chu Tianqi also wanted to invite the other party to dinner to show his gratitude.

The "......beep" sound on the mobile phone rang twice, followed by a standard female voice: "The number you dialed is on a call." Chu Tianqi knew that the other party hung up, and it must be inconvenient to answer the phone, so he put down the phone.

After a while, the phone rang with two short beeps. Chu Tianqi picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was the message sent by Dong Zixuan, the content of the message was: I am helping you, it is going well, it will take time, wait patiently.

Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"Mayor, where are you going?" said Lijian.

Chu Tianqi said: "Find a place to eat first, it's in the area of Hexi University." He thought that if he still had time after eating, he planned to visit his mentor, Professor Jiang. When I contacted the professor the day before yesterday, he said that he had just returned from other places and was going to stay in the provincial capital for a while.

Li Jian didn't speak again, but operated the steering wheel and ran to the destination.

……

Outside the car, the lights are shining, and the car shadow is shaking. Chu Tianqi was sitting in the car, still waiting for Dong Zixuan to call.

At about two o'clock this afternoon, Chu Tianqi went to the vicinity of Hexi University and found a restaurant to have lunch casually. When I left the restaurant, I also met my alumni and classmates, but there were guests on the other side at that time, and the two just exchanged a few words of greeting and did not have a deep chat.

After calling and contacting Professor Jiang, Chu Tianqi took some souvenirs to Professor Jiang's house. Professor Jiang and his wife were overjoyed when they saw Chu Tianqi, and the teacher praised this precious student even more. After giving appropriate encouragement to this outstanding student, Professor Jiang talked a lot with the students. Chu Tianqi also opened his heart and reported his ideological process and work to his teacher. chatted until six o'clock, and Chu Tianqi politely refused the invitation of the old teacher and the old couple to "eat dinner" and went to the car.

When he was at his teacher's house, he never received a call or message from Dong Zixuan, and he didn't ask. After getting to the car, he called Dong Zixuan, but a prompt tone came from the mobile phone: "The number you dialed cannot be reached for the time being." ”

Every once in a while, Chu Tianqi dialed once, but every time it was a prompt of "temporarily unreachable". So Chu Tianqi and Li Jian went to dinner, and then continued to wait in the car.

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, it was already nine and twenty o'clock in the evening, and Chu Tianqi dialed Dong Zixuan's number again.

I thought it would be the same prompt, but it turned out to be a ringback tone from the phone.

After the sound of "...... beep" sounded three or four times, Dong Zixuan's voice came from inside: "Tianqi, it's almost there." ”

The other party's voice was very low, and there was a "whoosh" sound, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but wonder: "Where are you?"

"I ...... I'm going to the bathroom. Dong Zixuan's voice was full of shyness and embarrassment, and then the topic changed, "You wait a while, it should be soon." ”

"Where am I going ......" Chu Tianqi was halfway through his words, and then stopped again, because the other party had already hung up.

Holding the phone and thinking about it, Chu Tianqi sent a text message: Where am I waiting for you?

After a while, Dong Zixuan's text message replied: Let's go to the vicinity of Yanyun Mansion first.

"Sharp sword, near Yanyun Mansion. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi put away his mobile phone.

"Okay. Lijian said yes and started the car.

The street chosen was not too congested, and before ten o'clock, the car stopped at a position only about fifty meters away from the Yanyun Building.

Seeing that there were no short messages on the mobile phone, and there were no missed calls, Chu Tianqi grabbed the mobile phone in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard two "ding" rings from my mobile phone.

Chu Tianqi opened his eyes, picked up his mobile phone and looked, and a text message popped up on it: Tianqi, come to the "Qingyi Pavilion" of Yanyun Building.

After replying to the word "good", Chu Tianqi directly pushed the car door and got out of the car.

"Mayor, where are you going?" asked Li Jian.

Chu Tianqi pointed to the Yanyun Mansion next to him: "There." With that, he walked briskly.

Lijian started the car and slowly followed.

Soon, Chu Tianqi entered the Yanyun Mansion and took the elevator directly.

The elevator stopped, the car door opened, and Chu Tianqi walked out quickly, heading straight to the "Pavilion of Love".

Chu Tianqi was no stranger to the "Pavilion of Love", he had been here twice before, and the first time was the most impressive. That time it was Yun Xiangyu and Yu Tao who had a treat, and they booked this room, before the meal, Yun Xiangyu and Yu Tao went out to greet acquaintances, and Chu Tianqi looked at the paintings on the wall and was moved, humming the theme song of the TV series. Ning Junqi heard the sound, and he also misunderstood and was jealous for Chu Tianqi to answer the phone. At that time, the two had just cleared up the misunderstanding, and Chu Tianqi didn't think about it elsewhere, but he felt Ning Junqi's affection for him in the "Pavilion of Love".

The "Pavilion of Affection" was already close at hand, but it was no longer a thing, and Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel sad.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" greeted the waiter outside the door.

Putting away his thoughts, Chu Tianqi replied: "Ms. Dong." ”

"Please. The waiter gently pushed the door open.

Chu Tianqi walked into the house, and the door behind him immediately closed.

The layout of the outside of the meal bag is the same as before, except that there is an extra screen at the entrance to the inner room, although there is a meter-wide space next to the screen, but the inside cannot be completely seen, and Chu Tianqi did not see the people inside.

Walking to the gap next to the screen, Chu Tianqi looked inside, there was no one on the table, he turned his gaze to look to the right.

Suddenly, Chu Tianqi let out an "ah", where was he stunned, he was stunned by the situation in front of him: How could this be?
