Chapter 20: Personality and Character (II)

After all, Ren Jian is a smart person, and he came back to his senses after being stunned for a moment, knowing that Gao Ming was secretly reminding him not to accuse Li Xiaoling, so he quickly changed his tone and said that in fact, as far as this matter is concerned, no matter whether you say it or not, no matter how you say it, some people will be dissatisfied. But for yourself, being honest may be the best option. I don't think I need to think about anything else, I really don't believe that in broad daylight, if you tell the truth, someone will dare to do something to you.

Gao Ming didn't expect Ren Jian to really think of the same place with him. He believed that Ren Jian's words were by no means casual, and he must have thought about it seriously. This is also where Gao Ming admires Ren Jian, don't look at him all day long, but he can use his brain when he encounters problems, and he can always get to the point.

Li Xiaoling lowered her head and thought for a long time, then raised her head and looked at Gao Ming, and said uh, that, Brother Gao, what do you think?

Gao Ming thought for a moment, and then smiled faintly, saying that what I originally wanted to say, Ren Jian has already said, I just want to add one thing, that is, no matter what people say or do, you must stick to a bottom line, which is also very important. Ren Jian said that this matter is big when it is big, and small is small, it depends on what angle you analyze it. Is the Koikeko incident negligent wounding or wanton murder? Is it a civil or criminal case? If the characterization is not accurate, perhaps someone will pay a great price for it. I don't think any of you here want to see this result, right?

Gao Ming said and consciously paused. The atmosphere on the field became very solemn in an instant, Su Han looked at Gao Ming, her eyes were full of admiration, Li Xiaoling carefully recalled Gao Ming's words, her face gradually darkened again, Gao Ming's words obviously hit her heart.

After Gao Ming pondered for a while, he said that in fact, I can see that Xiaoling, you are also a kind girl, otherwise you would not be entangled in this matter, and you would not be so troubled. Well, you don't want to see that happen, right? So, I think you can think about it and think through it before you make a decision. Good no good?

Li Xiaoling raised her head, looked at Gao Ming, and then suddenly made an unexpected move. She stood up and bowed to Gao Ming and Ren Jian, and then said, Brother Gao, Brother Ren, if you say these words, I will definitely think seriously when I go back, thank you in advance!

Although this meal was not easy, Gao Ming basically achieved his goal. Seeing that Su Han and Li Xiaoling had almost eaten, Gao Ming took out his credit card and asked the waiter to come in to settle the bill, but he didn't notice that Ren Jian was glancing at him beside him. The waiter looked at Ren Jian strangely, and then told him politely that this Mr. Ren had already settled the bill.

Gao Ming looked at Ren Jian and remembered that he had gone out once. I didn't pay much attention at the time, I just thought he was going to the bathroom. I didn't know whether to praise him or scold him, but Ren Jian smiled and said hehe, it's still the old rules, senior leader, you have a treat, I'll pay for it.

Gao Ming was made to cry and laugh, but he was quite satisfied. Although he has always said that he doesn't like the strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes on Ren Jian's body, he has to admit that he is often slapped by Ren Jian's untraceable sycophants, and he is extremely comfortable.

In front of Su Han and Li Xiaoling, Gao Ming just glared at Ren Jian and didn't say anything.

Before going out, Ren Jian was afraid of Gao Ming's hard work, so he offered to send Li Xiaoling. Meiyuan is not far from Su Han's house, she wanted to go home to see her parents, but after listening to Ren Jian's arrangement, she changed her mind again and decided to take Gao Ming's car back to the Hengjie apartment.

A few people came out of Qingbo Xiaozhu and walked out while talking. As soon as I walked to the bend of the staircase, I saw a man and a woman who happened to come out of the night rain in Bashan, and the woman was still carrying the man's arm. The man is tall, but the woman is beautiful. As soon as they looked up and saw Gao Ming, everyone was stunned on the spot. That woman is Lin Yi. The man Gao Ming also knew that he was the deputy director of the Local Taxation Bureau.

Lin Yi let go of Deputy Director Wen as if he had been electrocuted, and his eyes swept over Gao Ming, Ren Jian, Su Han and Li Xiaoling in turn, and he was very surprised and confused at that moment.

Lin Yi knew all these people, but at the moment she didn't want to pay attention to anyone. Li Xiaoling didn't have a good impression of Lin Yi in the first place, so she turned a blind eye to her. Ren Jian and Su Han originally wanted to say hello, but when they saw her terrifying face, and then saw her staring at Gao Ming's resentful gaze, they naturally shut up. In contrast, Deputy Director Wen's expression was the most natural. He didn't know Ren Jian and them, so he nodded lukewarmly to Gao Ming, which was regarded as a greeting. Then he asked Lin Yi again, "Director Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yi came back to his senses and made a smile with great difficulty, saying that it was okay, I seemed to suddenly feel a little headache. Deputy Director Wen, let's go.

After that, he took Deputy Director Wen's arm and left, Deputy Director Wen was baffled, but he didn't want to ask anything, so he had to go with her. As I walked, I couldn't stop looking back.

Li Xiaoling didn't know the inside story, but Lin Yi didn't want to see her, she wanted to explain, but she felt redundant, so she simply kept silent. But Su Han and Ren Jian saw that there was something wrong between Gao Ming and Lin Yi, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Gao Ming's heart was full of thoughts at the moment, but there was not a trace on his face. just smiled faintly and said that Lin Yi was afraid that he had misunderstood us. Leave her alone, there's no way to explain this anyway, let's go.

After leaving the gate of the plum garden, after saying goodbye, they each picked up the car, and the four of them left in two.

After Su Han got into Gao Ming's car, neither of them spoke for a long time, each thinking about their own thoughts. Later, Su Han finally couldn't help it, so he asked Gao Ming, and said Director Gao, I want to ask you a question, is it okay?

Gao Ming said, yes, what do you want to ask?

Su Han said, although I don't know the reason, I feel that you don't have a good impression of Chairman He Fei, right?

Gao Ming nodded and said probably, but it's not a secret.

Su Han said that, can I ask why?

Gao Ming glanced back at Su Han, and said that these things are not clear in a few words, let's tell the truth, I really don't want to think about those upsetting things.

Su Han heard him say this, and he didn't want to ask again, so I don't understand the attitude of you and Teacher Ren towards Xiao Chizi.

Gao Ming said, why do you think so?

Su Han thought about it and said because I think it would be beneficial to Chairman He Fei and them if Li Xiaoling truthfully told what she had seen with her own eyes. Don't you think so?

Gao Ming didn't answer Su Han immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said Actually, I don't think so in my heart, but these are two different things after all. If the police happen to lack this key evidence, the case will inevitably be wrongly characterized, and the innocent will definitely be harmed. That's the last thing I want to see.

Su Han thought about it, although it is reasonable, it is not directly related to us, right? And you and Teacher Ren said those words to Xiaoling, no matter how you listen to it, it feels like you want to help Chairman He.

Gao Ming sighed and said What kind of person He Fei is, I know very well. But I can't be inferior because he has a low personality, he has no character, and I don't have any character, right? Besides, if Li Xiaoling said that those are all facts, He Fei really didn't do anything bad this time, so it seems that he shouldn't be punished, right?

Su Han listened to Gao Ming's words and fell silent. In fact, with her understanding of Gao Ming, it is easy to understand his thoughts. Gao Ming can think like this, which fully proves his personality and character, so Su Han's respect for Gao Ming has increased a few points.

Lin Yi met Gao Ming and them in the Plum Garden today, which was completely accidental.

Because of the tax inspection, Deputy Director Wen personally led a team to Sunshine Group. In order to show his attention, He Fei also met with him and instructed Lin Yi to receive him well. After finishing his business today, Lin Yi followed He Fei's instructions and specially accompanied Deputy Director Wen to Meiyuan for a meal, who knew that he accidentally met Gao Ming.

Lin Yi really couldn't tell what he felt in his heart at that time, and he was shocked and had no idea for a while. Gao Ming is actually with Li Xiaoling, what does this mean? It can only show that he has intervened in the Xiaochizi incident, and he can't get along with the Sunshine Group and her Lin Yi!

After leaving the plum garden, Lin Yiwan refused Deputy Director Wen's request to go to the hotel. Seeing that Deputy Director Wen's face changed, he had to briefly say a few words about Li Xiaoling's situation, saying that she had to go back to He Dong immediately to discuss the matter. It's rare that Deputy Director Wen is quite reasonable, and he didn't embarrass her anymore.

After breaking up with Deputy Director Wen, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea in his heart. She pinched the time, estimating that Gao Ming should be separated from someone else, so she dialed his mobile phone. Gao Ming didn't pay attention to who was calling, and he answered it quickly, and just said hello, hello, I heard a woman's voice next to me say, Gao Ming, what are you going to do?

As soon as Lin Yi heard that it was Chen Xiaowei, he quickly hung up. Originally, nothing happened between her and Gao Ming, but for some reason, Lin Yi always had scruples about Chen Xiaowei psychologically, which is probably the reason why the so-called thief is weak.

Since there was no way to ask Gao Ming to come out, Lin Yi thought about it again, so he had to call He Fei and tell him about the incident of bumping into Gao Ming and Li Xiaoling eating together.

He Fei was overwhelmed by the Xiaochizi incident, and has been very low-key recently. Except for the office and home, I basically don't dare to go anywhere else. I don't want to meet acquaintances, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong. Although he used his high-level connections to settle the matter as soon as possible, because there were instructions from above and public opinion at the bottom, there was no other way in the city except for official business. If the case is not successful, the matter of Liushuping can only be consumed, and it is this situation that He Fei is most afraid of.

This kind of life of living in seclusion, and I don't know when it will come to an end, He Fei is annoyed as long as he thinks about it.

When Lin Yi called, He Fei was bored and was playing video games online at home. After hanging up Lin Yi's phone, He Fei's heart was on fire, he raised his hand and grabbed the teacup on the table, and fell to the floor hard, the teacup smashed the solid wood floor with several scars, and finally broke into several pieces, and the tea and tea were splashed everywhere. The aunt downstairs heard the noise, and went upstairs lightly to take a look, but did not dare to say anything, lowered her head and quietly cleaned up the ground, and made him a new cup of tea.

After the aunt left, He Fei's anger also subsided a little, and gradually calmed down. He felt that he had been unlucky lately, and he was speechless about it. First Wang Lei resigned, and then Xiong Qi had an accident, and there was no one around him who could speak. finally dug up a Lin Yi, and before he could easily have that file with Deputy Director Wen, he naturally had to have some reservations.

He Fei has always believed that money can do everything, but at the same time, he also pursues a principle, don't do anything too much. He believes that as the old saying goes, be a man and leave a line, and it will be good to meet in the future. But this time, Xiao Chizi's incident gave him a very profound lesson. What he didn't expect was that he would cause such a lot of trouble by stretching his legs in a single thought. No matter how He Fei tried to deal with the aftermath, no one bought it, and he made things more and more complicated, as if he would never give up until he was put in prison. If it weren't for the government's intervention to maintain stability, I really don't know how far the trouble would be. What was even more unexpected was that the Yangzhou Daily, which he thought he had done enough work for, actually had someone who added fuel to the fire and sang a duet with him. First of all, the reporter surnamed Zhang made trouble, saying that she was a relative of the deceased, this will be smart again, what does he want to do?

After He Fei's emotions calmed down, he thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally decided to call Mr. Huang. After dialing Mr. Huang's mobile phone, Mr. Huang answered it quickly, but he didn't speak, obviously waiting for him to speak.

He Fei said in as gentle a tone as possible, Mr. Huang, hello, calling you at this time, does it affect your rest?

Mr. Huang also said politely, where is it, I don't plan to sleep so early, He Dong, you are too polite. Can I help you?

He Fei carefully considered the wording and said Mr. Huang, I asked you about something, I hope you don't keep it secret, is it okay to tell the truth?

Mr. Huang said, as long as I can tell you something, I will never keep it confidential and promise to tell the truth.

He Fei said, did the newspaper send Gao Ming Su Han to interview Li Xiaoling?

When Mr. Huang heard this, he was stunned, so he asked He Dong, I don't understand what you're talking about, who do you say this Li Xiaoling is?

When He Fei heard Mr. Huang say this, he was also stupid, and after thinking about it, he said, this Li Xiaoling is the girl I met in Xiaochizi who was stolen from her wallet, and it is not surprising that Mr. Huang has not heard of it.

Mr. Huang said, listen, so that's the case, then He Dong, let me tell you, I really don't know what you said. Why don't you wait for me to find out, okay?

He Fei listened to Mr. Huang's tone, and it didn't seem like a shirk, so he had to tell him about what he heard from Lin Yi, and finally said, Mr. Huang, I'll wait for your call?

After listening to He Fei's words, Mr. Huang responded verbally, but he didn't think so, feeling that He Fei was completely fussed. Although he believed that Gao Ming would never do anything illegal, he still felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know how he could get involved with the girl named Li Xiaoling.

After hanging up He Fei's phone, Mr. Huang thought for a while and dialed Gao Ming's mobile phone.

When Mr. Huang called, the civil war in Gao Ming's family had just subsided.

Mr. Huang got straight to the point and asked Gao Ming directly, who did you go to the plum garden with for dinner today?

Gao Ming was stunned when he heard Mr. Huang's words, he didn't expect Mr. Huang to know about this so quickly. Before I could figure out how to explain it, Mr. Huang was impatient over there.

Mr. Huang said Gao Ming, you should tell me the truth quickly, don't make up nonsense. Let me tell you, He Fei's phone calls came to my house just now.

Mr. Huang relayed He Fei's phone number.

Gao Ming and Mr. Huang are always like this when they communicate, they have some things to say to each other, but if they want to say something, they never tell lies.

Gao Ming laughed and said Mr. Huang, how dare I make up nonsense in front of your old man? When we came out, we ran into Lin Yi, and we knew that she would definitely have a misunderstanding, but I didn't expect her to take the problem so seriously.

Then I also talked about the ins and outs of this matter.

Mr. Huang listened, but sighed and said Gao Ming, I really don't know what to say about you.

Gao Ming said then you don't have to say anything.

Mr. Huang said that you don't talk to me poorly, let me tell you, you and Su Han are still less involved in this matter. I don't want to say anything, you can figure out how to explain it yourself. I just want to remind you that sometimes good intentions don't always pay off, so remember that. With that, he hung up the phone.

Gao Ming put down his phone and remembered the call Lin Yi made before. At that time, he was arguing with Chen Xiaowei, and he didn't have time to look at the caller ID to connect. Lin Yi probably heard Chen Xiaowei speak, so he hung up. In front of his wife, Gao Ming couldn't call back, and after thinking about it, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, but he didn't want to go to Mr. Huang.

Since Mr. Huang had spoken, Gao Ming thought about whether to call Lin Yi to explain. This kung fu Chen Xiaowei came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw Gao Ming staring at the phone in a daze, which was a little strange. So I came over and sat down next to him and asked him, what's wrong? Whose phone call also makes you so upset?

Gao Ming smiled bitterly and said Mr. Huang, talk about work. After thinking about it, I added another sentence, saying that apart from you and your mother, there is really no one in this world who can make me upset.

Chen Xiaowei jumped up as soon as she heard this, and said Gao Ming, you tell me clearly, what do you mean?

When Gao Ming saw her posture, he immediately regretted that he shouldn't have made such a joke, so he hurriedly smiled and said Okay, okay, sorry, sorry, I said wrong! Actually, I originally wanted to say that everyone in this world except you and your mother makes me feel troubled! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, don't mind.

Chen Xiaowei looked at Gao Ming for a moment, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. She slowly approached Gao Ming and said husband, this kind of thing hurts feelings, don't say it again in the future, okay?

Gao Ming nodded again and again, and said okay, wife. I'll definitely remember. Before the words fell, a terrible cry was heard. It turned out that Chen Xiaowei was talking to him softly, but at the same time, she reached out and pinched him on the arm.

Chen Xiaowei saw Gao Ming grinning in pain, but she didn't move, just said calmly Husband, now I believe you will remember.

Gao Ming stroked the arm that was pinched, and said Chen Xiaowei, are you really dead? Recently, your violent tendencies have become more and more obvious, what's going on?

Chen Xiaowei changed her face again, smiled softly, and said Husband, don't worry, when you take back my money, I will become very gentle and gentle.

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Gao Ming, and turned around and went back to the bedroom.

Gao Ming looked at Chen Xiaowei's still slender and beautiful back, and suddenly had a strong impulse in his heart, and he wanted to chase after him together, but in a blink of an eye, he restrained his impulse and forced himself to sit down.

The couple have been arguing a lot lately, and every time they have given in.

After Gao Ming sent Su Han home tonight, she had just stepped into her door, and Chen Xiaowei had also returned from her mother's house. Recently, Gao Ming is very afraid of going back to his father-in-law's house, and every time he goes, his mother-in-law will deliberately tell Chen Xiaowei something about the stock market. Then he would say that he was considering buying a house, and he would say that he planned to exchange some dollars, and he would remind Gao Ming to repay the money.

Gao Ming is always patient and pretends to be deaf and dumb. Sometimes I can't listen to it, so I find an excuse to leave, and then I simply don't go to my mother-in-law's house.

Gao Ming firmly believed that his investment direction was right, and thought that if he only gritted his teeth and persisted for a few more days, there might be good news. But waiting and waiting, the stock market has been fluctuating at a low level, often rising a few days before falling sharply. The shareholders were too deep, and they became numb, and they lost even the strength to scold people at the beginning. Under such circumstances, it is really unknown when the resumption of new share issuance will be.

Whenever I heard Chen Xiaowei complaining at the bedside, Gao Ming really had no other way than to continue to paint cakes for her to satisfy her hunger. But as many times as possible, there was a crisis of trust between husband and wife. In the past, Chen Xiaowei admired Gao Ming a lot, and she believed it unconditionally no matter what Gao Ming said. But now Gao Ming clearly felt that his words in front of his wife were not as effective as before.

The message that Chen Xiaowei brought back from her mother's house today can be said to be a real life-threatening talisman. When her father heard that the renminbi exchange rate was about to plummet, he discussed with his relatives to ask someone to exchange a large amount of foreign exchange. When Chen Xiaowei went home today, her mother told her about it, and told her that part of the money for dollars was borrowed. The meaning is obvious, it is to force them to pay back the 400,000.

Chen Xiaowei said this, and Gao Ming couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. After he asked about the matter, he thought about it carefully for a long time, and then promised his wife very seriously that he would return the 400,000 yuan to his mother-in-law within a month period.

The reason why Gao Ming dared to say this was because he thought of two ways.

One is the film and television adaptation rights of "Entanglement". At the last meeting, Yang Wei mentioned this matter to him again, saying that a friend asked him to ask Gao Ming's meaning. Gao Ming repeatedly asked who the other party was, but Yang Wei smiled and did not answer, only said that it was a film and television production company in other places, and then asked the price, Yang Wei said that the other party only said that he was very sincere, but the specific details must be negotiable.

In fact, before this, several film and television companies had approached Gao Ming, but Gao Ming had no time or energy to spend with them, and refused as soon as he heard that the conditions were not suitable. Gao Ming's idea should have been said to be harsh, and it depends on whether the other party is famous, and it also emphasizes economic benefits, and he is not willing to contact the grass platform team, but also has to be reasonable in price, so this matter has always been high or low. If he hadn't been forced by Chen Xiaowei to have no way out this time, Gao Ming wouldn't have wanted to take this step.

If this can't be done for a while, then there is still a way. After Ren Jian and his wife repaid Deng Kelin's loan with the last real estate mortgage, they still had a sum of money in their hands that did not move. I really couldn't do it, so I had to transfer the original shares to be issued in my hand to him.

After Gao Mingli cleared his thoughts, he was about to go to the bathroom to wash, when a WeChat message suddenly came in from his mobile phone, and when he saw what Lin Yi sent, he quickly clicked on it.

"Hantang Raider" (Lin Yi): There's something I want to ask you to meet and talk, can I?

"Wolves that don't eat rabbits" (Gao Ming): Know what you want to talk about, is it okay to chat on WeChat?

"Hantang Raider" (Lin Yi): Are you so annoying to me?

"A wolf who doesn't eat rabbits" (Gao Ming): That's not what I meant, I wanted to call you back just now, but then something else delayed.

"Hantang Raider" (Lin Yi): Don't talk about those nice ones, you don't think you can see them, right?

"Wolves that don't eat rabbits" (Gao Ming): Okay, how do you say it's arranged?

"Hantang Raider" (Lin Yi): Is that okay now?

"Wolves that don't eat rabbits" (Gao Ming): It's too late, isn't it? Or tomorrow morning?

"Hantang Raider" (Lin Yi): That's fine, tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, I'll wait for you at Lili Cafe. Remember Lili Coffee?

"A wolf that doesn't eat rabbits" (Gao Ming): Of course I remember, so be it.

After exiting WeChat, Gao Ming fell into deep thought again. Lin Yi first called, and then sent WeChat, since she cared so much about this matter, it showed that Xiao Chizi's matter was indeed a piece of her heart, but she didn't know why she was so concerned. Is she really just doing it because she's dedicated?
