Chapter 231: Do You Hate Me
Chu Tianqi didn't eat anything, because he didn't like to eat these weird-tasting foods. In fact, the deeper reason is that he thinks these things are too expensive, and of course they are not to his taste. Meng Yuling also knew his habits, because she used to eat almost all of them, and he watched from the sidelines. Seeing that he was still like this today, she didn't force him to eat anything, but sighed sweetly and helplessly in her heart: He hasn't changed.
Looking at this man who had once made her extremely infatuated, Meng Yuling said stupidly: "You knew in advance today that it was me, right?
Chu Tianqi sighed and said, "I don't know, it's just a coincidence." ”
"Really?" Meng Yuling obviously didn't believe this explanation, and only thought that he had deliberately said it for a little dignity. So, she asked rhetorically, "This is too coincidental, isn't it? Coincidence makes the storytellers sigh to themselves." ”
"It's such a coincidence. Chu Tianqi said sincerely.
It was indeed too coincidental, and it was a coincidence that Director Gong should have asked the section chief to do so, but it ended up on his head. Coincidentally, I made a mistake and booked a private room in the "Meeting for a Thousand Miles" café, but coincidentally, only the room of "Love is Determined Today" is still empty. What's more coincidental is that the section chief is his former girlfriend Meng Yuling. Coincidentally, she knew it.
Of course, Chu Tianqi knew that many things were purely coincidental, and what made him really feel that it was a coincidence was that Meng Yuling was the section chief. Otherwise, everything could be different, and maybe it's a little farce in itself, and the other party will never answer their calls. Maybe the real section chief will be "impressed" by himself because of the place he chooses, making things that would have gone smoothly even more difficult. He felt that since he coincidentally let himself meet her again, and the meeting place was here, it was to let him break off with her in the dark.
Meng Yuling didn't believe in so many coincidences, he thought that Chu Tianqi deliberately made so many coincidences because he knew that he was the section chief, because he still had himself in his heart. Even if she believed it, she would think that this was the fate between herself and Chu Tianqi. But she didn't dare to ask for anything, because she herself felt that she was no longer worthy of this infatuated man.
Of course, her judgment was wrong, because when Chu Tianqi made her first call, she was attending a meeting. She was half-covering her nose and mouth, and if she communicated with Chu Tianqi, plus she used her mobile phone to talk, her voice would change, so Chu Tianqi didn't even hear whether the section chief she hadn't met was male or female.
The current atmosphere was a little awkward, and Chu Tianqi simply talked about the work: "Section Chief Meng, have you read our report?"
Meng Yuling's face turned cold: "Tianqi, even if we break up, we don't have to be so separated, right?"
Chu Tianqi smiled awkwardly and said again, "Yuling, do you think our report is feasible?"
"I have read the report, and it has been approved at the director's office meeting, you can rest assured. Meng Yuling gave him a reassurance. He continued, "This project, if it can be implemented in the manner listed in the report, is indeed promising." Of the projects that we have approved now, there are no such projects. As far as I know, there are very few such zinc mineral water projects in other places. ”
That's what the provincial experts said. Chu Tianqi replied.
"But there are a lot of related issues that need to be solved before this project can be implemented. First of all, it is whether you can find a company that really has the strength and experience to successfully run this kind of project. And to bring in such a partner, there are many supporting projects that you need to solve, such as transportation problems. Although I have not been to you, I have been to many of the same villages, and often road problems are an important factor restricting the local economic development. For example, the issue of benefit distribution, don't look at the fact that there are no departments and individuals competing with you now, once the project is successful or has been launched, including superior departments, leaders, local people, etc., will find you trouble. Another example...... "Meng Yuling is worthy of working in the planning department for many years, and when it comes to business, she is the leader."
Meng Yuling said a lot, and the things she said were more important, and it really benefited Chu Tianqi to hear. Chu Tianqi also talked about many of his ideas, Meng Yuling agreed with the ideas he had, questioned some ideas, and also gave her own opinions.
A couple who used to be in the wind and snow have become very distant when talking about their feelings, but they are much more natural when they talk about work. Before I knew it, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Chu Tianqi had an empty stomach and buried the bill, and at this time, Meng Yuling had already finished making up, and the two of them walked out of the café. No one said where to go, just walked casually, and unconsciously arrived at the bank of the Daqing River.
At the end of June, the temperature in Woyuan City was already very high, and the maximum temperature during the day was already 35 or 6 degrees. At this time, the temperature has cooled, especially by the bridge where the river is murmuring, and the temperature is much more suitable. The people on the bridge caressing, hugging and hugging each other slowly move their feet, enjoying the rare cool comfort of the day.
Looking at the people passing by, Chu Tianqi felt a hint of bitterness and amusement. Everyone else was holding hands and holding arms, but not only did he and Meng Yuling not have any physical contact, but there was a big gap in the middle, which seemed out of place with the surrounding crowd. Luckily, no one paid attention to them, but they themselves felt very awkward.
"Tianqi, remember there?" Meng Yuling pointed to a group of sculptures under the bridge with her hand.
Chu Tianqi followed the sound and saw that this was a human-shaped fountain sculpture, and in the middle of the sculpture was a dancer with his right foot on the ground, his left foot up, and his hands dancing.
……
Of course Chu Tianqi remembered. It was one night three years ago, and he and Meng Yuling had dinner and came here to spend the summer. At that time, the sculpture had just been put into use. Chu Tianqi was playful for a while, came to the bridge, and made movements according to the shape. Meng Yuling, who was on the side, leaned back and fell back and fell back amused by his funny posture.
Something should have happened, and just when they were having fun, they suddenly heard someone shouting "help" loudly. Chu Tianqi hurriedly rushed to the place where the cry for help came from, and jumped into the river without saying anything. When he jumped in, he remembered that he didn't know how to swim at all. So, he shouted "I can't swim, I can't swim".
In the end, the child was saved by someone else. Chu Tianqi relied on his kung fu, and the river could only reach his neck, so he could reach the river. Because of his sudden entry into the water, Meng Yuling was already in tears, and her face was lost, and she knew that he couldn't water. After seeing that he was embarrassed but safe, she couldn't help but pounce on him and beat him on the chest with a small pink fist, saying "Call you to be able to do it, let you be able to do it".
After the child was safe, the reporters and the masses who rushed to the scene were looking for people who acted bravely, including him, who "tried to save people". He felt ashamed and pulled Meng Yuling and ran away quickly.
……
Seeing the familiar scene again today, Chu Tianqi thought of that troublesome incident again, and couldn't help but blush, and said, "If there is another thing like that, I won't be ugly." ”
Meng Yuling knew that because of that incident, Chu Tianqi later learned to swim, and his swimming skills were superb. But he teased him and said, "Not necessarily, maybe you'll be yelling 'I can't swim' again." ”
"How is it possible? I don't believe you can jump off and try it?" Chu Tianqi said casually.
"Then I really jumped, will you save me?" Meng Yuling said, making a posture of jumping.
Chu Tianqi grabbed her: "What stupid are you doing, of course I will save you." ”
Chu Tianqi was telling the truth, not only Meng Yuling fell into the water, but even if a stranger fell into the water, he would also save it.
"Then I'm willing to jump, even if we don't come up, I have no regrets. Meng Yuling said stupidly.
Looking at her melancholy expression, and listening to such words again, Chu Tianqi felt a little panicked. I was about to take away the hand that was holding her arm, but after thinking about it, I grabbed it tighter.
Meng Yuling's heart was hot, and she felt that the corners of her eyes were moist again, and she sighed lightly: "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things, even if I really do that, I won't let you accompany me, I'm not worthy." ”
Hearing this, Chu Tianqi didn't know what to say for a while, and easily let go of the hand that was holding her arm.
The two of them walked silently like this, until they reached the end of the bridge, and then stopped their steps at the same time. There are few pedestrians here, the street lights are much dimmer, and the river is dark at night, making a "whooshing" sound.
I heard that you have been promoted to the rank of member of the township party committee and deputy head of the township, and you are still an advanced individual in the city's righteousness and courage, and the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate also attach great importance to you. Meng Yuling said softly.
Looking at the black river, Chu Tianqi said calmly: "It's nothing, aren't you already a section chief now?"
"It's not the same. There was a hint of desolation in Meng Yuling's voice, "You got it by yourself, and you gained a lot." And I, hey...... But lost a lot. ”
Chu Tianqi understood what she was referring to, and thought of her helpless appearance when he saw her the first two times, and couldn't help but ask, "Is he good to you?"
“…… The blisters on my feet are all walked by myself, and I can't complain about others. As long as you're okay, I'm relieved. Meng Yuling whimpered, "Tianqi, do you hate me?"
Chu Tianqi looked into the distance, turned his back to Meng Yuling, and said leisurely: "Hate, hate before." It's not easy for anyone to hate now. ”
"You're so good, you regret not being at the beginning!" Meng Yuling stopped crying, reached out and took out a small bag from her bag, and poured out a small Xi from the bag, "Tianqi, what do you think this is?"
Chu Tianqi turned around, and through the faint light, he saw the shiny thing in her palm. He knew, and because of this thing, he had taken it out many times and looked at it, and imagined what it would look like on her finger. What Meng Yuling was holding in her hand was the ring that Chu Tianqi had prepared to give her on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the previous year, that is, on that day, he threw it on the street.
"How can it be in your hands. Chu Tianqi asked in a painful voice.
Meng Yuling replied: "I waited in front of the café for three days and bought it from a sanitation worker. ”
Looking at familiar people and familiar things, Chu Tianqi had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
