Chapter 22: A Fire in the Backyard (Part I)

The stock market has been hovering at a tepid low, and there has been no news of new stock issuances. In order to repay her mother's 400,000 yuan, Chen Xiaowei has been getting tighter and tighter recently, and almost when they meet, they urge Gao Ming to ask for money, and he has a feeling of being out of breath.

Gao Ming didn't want to end the matter, he really called Yang Wei several times, but he didn't succeed in asking him to meet. They are usually busy people, and Yang Wei does not live in Yangzhou after getting married, so it is not easy to meet. Yang Wei promised very happily every time he answered the phone, saying that he would come over immediately, but he never saw anyone.

Gao Ming was forced by Chen Xiaowei to be anxious, and when he was helpless, he decided to talk to Ren Jian about it first, so that he could also say hello to Ouyang and be ready to take over his stock at any time.

Who knew that at this juncture, a sudden incident happened, which led to another conflict between Gao Ming and his wife.

When Gao Ming came home from work, he found something strange as soon as he drove into the community. There were a lot of people in the courtyard who didn't know what they were talking about, and they didn't know what was going on. Gao Ming didn't like to join in the fun, and he didn't care too much. I parked my car in the basement and went straight to my house.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere at home was also very abnormal, the room was quiet, there was no familiar smell of food in the past, but there was a feeling of suffocation.

Chen Xiaowei sat alone at the dining table, holding her hair in her hands and stunned. Gao Ming's movement in the door was not small, but she didn't even look at him as if she hadn't heard it.

Gao Ming immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, because this situation had never happened before. He put down his briefcase and walked to Chen Xiaowei's side, and asked her softly, "Wife, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Chen Xiaowei turned her face sideways, looked at Gao Ming and shook her head, and said very bluntly, there is nothing uncomfortable, but I don't have the heart to cook. Don't ask me why, because I don't want to eat it, I don't want to do it.

Gao Ming smiled and said It's okay, if you don't want to do it, we won't do it, if you don't want to eat, we won't eat, no matter what, I'll accompany you.

Chen Xiaowei smiled coldly and said It's rare, I didn't expect you to be so good.

Gao Ming sat next to her and said I've always been so good, haven't you noticed?

Chen Xiaowei glared at him vigorously, didn't speak, got up and walked to the sofa and sat down, deliberately turning her head to look at the balcony.

Gao Ming was naturally very unhappy when he was bored, so he didn't have any closer actions. After a moment's pause, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

Chen Xiaowei opened her mouth at this time, and said Gao Ming, you come back, do you want to do it?

Gao Ming said I'm hungry, if you don't eat, I still have to eat, I'll go and get a bowl of noodles.

Chen Xiaowei rushed over and grabbed him, saying that he was not allowed to eat!

Gao Ming was a little embarrassed but couldn't move, he couldn't hold back the unhappiness in his heart, and said Xiaowei, don't make trouble, okay? I'm really hungry, why don't I cook two bowls, and you can have one bowl too?

Chen Xiaowei said, eat and eat, you will know how to eat! If something so big happens, you can still eat? I really convinced you that you have no heart and no lungs!

As soon as Gao Ming heard what she said, he really began to pay attention, so he asked, what is going on? Make you look like this? You won't even be allowed to eat?

Chen Xiaowei said Gao Ming, do you really not know or are you pretending to be stupid with me?

Gao Ming said what kind of stupidity am I pretending? I don't know what you're talking about!

Chen Xiaowei looked at Gao Ming seriously for a moment, and made sure that he really didn't know, so she said Okay, if you really don't know, I'll tell you! This afternoon, someone in Building No. 6 jumped from the ninth floor and fell to his death on the spot. The police have already found out that the person embezzled public funds to speculate in stocks and suffered serious losses, and after being discovered by the unit, he reported the case, and in order to avoid criminal responsibility, he had no choice but to commit suicide.

After Gao Ming listened to Chen Xiaowei's words, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I didn't expect such an earth-shattering thing to happen in the always peaceful and harmonious community, no wonder so many people in the courtyard were talking. It's really scary to think about, the ninth floor is so high that it jumps down, if people are not cornered, no one will do that, right?

Seeing that Gao Ming didn't speak for a long time, Chen Xiaowei paused slightly, and deliberately emphasized another sentence, let's take a look, this is the end of embezzlement of public funds to speculate in stocks!

Gao Ming looked at Chen Xiaowei's mocking expression, and felt really uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but complain, "What do you mean by telling me this? I didn't embezzle public funds to speculate in stocks.

Even if you handed the words to Chen Xiaowei's mouth, Chen Xiaowei smiled coldly and said that you did not embezzle public funds, but you embezzled your mother-in-law's private funds, as long as it is someone else's money, the nature is not too much!

Gao Ming said, hey, Chen Xiaowei, you make it clear, are you still unreasonable? Your mother's money is good for you to embezzle? I have always been against you borrowing your mother's money to invest, I said at the beginning.......

Chen Xiaowei interrupted him impatiently, saying that you still have the face to mention it to me at the beginning! What did you say at the beginning? In less than two months, the invested funds will definitely increase several times! What about now? Even the capital has been folded!

Gao Ming was about to say a few more ugly words, but when he saw Chen Xiaowei's appearance of wanting to cry or not, his heart softened, so he had to suppress his anger and say Xiaowei, didn't I tell you? I will definitely pay back your mother's 400,000 yuan within a month.

As soon as Chen Xiaoweiya heard this, she twisted her head, she could tell the truth, Gao Ming, I can't believe what you are talking about now, my mouth is full of tongues, and I don't see any reality!

Gao Ming was still careful, saying that it had only been a few days, and there was still a long way to go before a month?

Chen Xiaowei turned away, didn't look at Gao Ming at all, and said Gao Ming, do you know? My mother talks about this every day, and I don't dare to answer her phone!

Gao Ming thought about it and said that if your mother is really in a hurry, will you first redeem the 300,000 yuan in financial management, and then I will find a way to lend 100,000 yuan to her to pay it back?

As soon as Chen Xiaowei heard this, she became anxious, turned her head and glared at Gao Ming, and shouted, "Gao Ming, you are sick! Borrowing money and borrowing money, who are you going to borrow money from? Are you addicted to borrowing money?

Gao Ming smiled awkwardly and said I have never borrowed money from anyone, didn't your mother's 400,000 yuan also borrow from you?

Chen Xiaowei shouted, "Gao Ming, you are enough! What do you mean by talking like this? I will make it clear to you that you don't want to beat the idea of 300,000 yuan in my hand!

Gao Ming saw that Chen Xiaowei was really anxious, and quickly changed his words and said Don't don't, don't dare to hit your idea, isn't it because your mother is too anxious......?

Chen Xiaowei said that you are not qualified to say if, Gao Ming! If you can't pay back my mother at that time, do you want to force me to jump off the building?

Gao Ming said Xiaowei, you have to believe me, there will never be a situation like what you said......

Chen Xiaowei shouted again, "Gao Ming, don't say it, I'm tired of hearing this!" After that, she covered her ears with her hands, turned around and ran into the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

Gao Ming didn't expect Chen Xiaowei's emotions to be so extreme, and he wanted to follow up and persuade her, but when he thought about her anger, it would be good to let her calm down alone for a while.

Who knew that Gao Ming went into the kitchen to cook noodles for a while, and went to ask Chen Xiaowei to come out to eat, but found that she locked the door from the inside. Gao Ming knocked on the door for a long time, but Chen Xiaowei didn't open it. Only through the door said that she didn't want to eat, and she had already slept.

No matter how good Gao Ming's temper is, he also thinks that Chen Xiaowei is too much, so he can't bear it anymore. felt awkward, so he ignored Chen Xiaowei anymore. But he didn't know that he was even more stubborn Chen Xiaowei, until more than twelve o'clock at night, Chen Xiaowei neither made a sound nor opened the bedroom door.

Gao Ming slept on the sofa in the living room for a night, and was woken up by Chen Xiaowei's movement early the next day, so he had to get up. The two of them ignored each other, got some milk and bread from the refrigerator for breakfast, and after eating, they hurried to work.

Gao Ming went to the office, and after finishing the urgent matter at hand, he was about to call Ren Jian to come over, but he heard someone knocking on the door.

Gao Ming said please come in, and Su Han pushed the door and walked in. Gao Ming saw Su Han's sad face, and he was a little strange, so he said what made Xiao Su like this? Don't be so sad, girls are worried about getting old, do you know?

Su Han didn't have the heart to joke with him, just smiled bitterly and said Director Gao, I am going to go to Director Qian for a long vacation, and I want to take my father to the field for a check-up. I'm afraid that it will affect the work arrangement, so I'll say hello to you first.

When Gao Ming heard this, he couldn't laugh, and quickly asked, what's wrong with your dad?

Su Han said, my dad has not been in good health. Recently, the headache and dizziness have worsened, and I have passed out several times. I went to the city hospital and suspected that there might be something in my head, so I suggested that we take him to BJ or SH to find a big hospital for a careful examination in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Gao Ming listened and muttered for a moment, and then asked where are you going to check?

Su Han said, I haven't thought about it yet, but I think about it, and I tend to go to SH Gaoming to ask, why go to SH Su Han said, I have no acquaintances in BJ, but SH has a classmate who had a good relationship in high school, and I want to contact her to see if I can help her.

Gao Ming wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and said, "Well, is there anything else wrong?" For example, is there any financial difficulty?

Su Han shook his head and said not for the time being, if there is something in the future, let's talk about it later.

Gao Ming looked at Su Han's tired face, and comforted her and said, Xiao Su, don't think about things so pessimistically, maybe it's just a false alarm! You have to remember that if you have confidence and courage, your father will have confidence and courage, do you understand?

Su Han smiled bitterly and nodded, and said Director Gao, I also understand this truth, although I said so, but it is easier said than done! The doctor said that my father may ......

Su Han couldn't say it anymore, so he lowered his head and forcibly didn't let the tears flow.

Gao Ming didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to say Xiao Su, no matter what happens, I hope you can calm down, okay?

Su Han slowly raised his head and said Director Gao, thank you, I will try my best to do what you say.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Gao Ming watched Su Han slowly walk out of the room in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. After thinking for a while, he dialed Ren Jian's phone.

Ren Jian was about to go to Su Han and take her to the National Development and Reform Commission for an interview, but when he received a call from Gao Ming, he hurried to his office. Pushing the door in directly, Gao Ming was sitting on the sofa in a daze. Ren Jian didn't speak, and walked directly to him and sat down.

Gao Ming was still distracted, looking at Ren Jian in a daze without saying a word. After a short while, he suddenly asked Ren Jian, saying that you have a lot of friends in BJ, so you should be able to get in touch with a big hospital, right?

Ren Jian was also stunned when he heard this, and said Leader, what's wrong with you? Who is going to go to the big hospital?

Gao Ming shook his head and said that it wasn't me who was going, Su Han had been here just now, and she was going.

Ren Jian jumped up and said What happened to Su Han?

When Gao Ming saw his reaction, he realized that he hadn't said it clearly, and smiled awkwardly, saying that it wasn't Su Han who was going, it was her father who was going.

Ren Jian sat down and said Master, look at your own appearance, you scared me to death. Then he let out a long breath and asked, what happened to Su Han's father, why did she go to BJ's big hospital?

Gao Ming carefully explained the situation that Su Han had just said, and then asked Ren Jian, how are you, can you help contact BJ's side?

Ren Jian thought about it and said I don't know if it's okay or not, so let's contact my friends over there, and if there is any news, tell Su Han immediately.

Ren Jian got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gao Ming.
