At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi arrived in Yanyun City.

After registering the hotel and letting Li Jian move freely, Chu Tianqi took a taxi and left the hotel.

The reason why Li Jian didn't go with him was that Chu Tianqi went to do private business, and his private matter was to have dinner with Tian Xin. Of course, having dinner together was just a formality, and Chu Tianqi's real purpose was to inquire about Ning Junqi.

Coming to see Tian Xin was something that Chu Tianqi had planned for a long time, and he had planned it more than a month ago. It's just that there are too many things during this period of time, and I really can't leave, and Tian Xin is also busy, so this matter has dragged on. This business trip to the provincial capital was exactly what he wanted, so he rushed here in the afternoon, just to take advantage of the opportunity to eat to inquire about Ning Junqi. The reason why he was in such a hurry to inquire was because he was now deeply worried.

On November 30, Chu Tianqi received a text message from an unknown number, the content of which was "I'm getting married." After receiving this text message, Chu Tianqi thought of Ning Junqi, and couldn't help but raise his throat, calling back and sending text messages, but the other party didn't answer or reply. In addition to Ning Junqi, he also thought of several girls, if it was those girls, he would sincerely bless them, but what he was most afraid of was that the person who sent the text message was Ning Junqi. was extremely unsure, so he called Tian Xin, and later Tian Xin called back. When he asked Ning Junqi about his situation, Tian Xin told him that Secretary Li asked someone to introduce Ning Junqi to a boyfriend, but Ning Junqi did not agree.

Hearing Tian Xin's reply, Chu Tianqi felt a lot more at ease, but he couldn't help but worry, worried that Tian Xin didn't understand the situation, and worried that Tian Xin would fool himself. In addition, he was also worried that Li Weimin did not tell Ning Junqi about the agreed matter, that Li Weimin would persevere in introducing a boyfriend for his daughter, and that Ning Junqi would go along with his father's wishes if he was "confused for a while". It was precisely because of these worries that he had to find Tian Xin to inquire about the situation, so that he could make a correct judgment, plan a countermeasure, and take decisive action if necessary.

The taxi arrived at the door of the restaurant, Chu Tianqi paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the restaurant.

This afternoon, Chu Tianqi contacted Tian Xin and made an appointment to have dinner together. It happened that Tian Xin had time, so she agreed, and asked Chu Tianqi to book a place. After booking the restaurant, Chu Tianqi immediately sent the name and location of the restaurant to Tian Xin, and Tian Xin replied, "I will be there before half past six."

The service staff greeted him, and after asking, he directly took Chu Tianqi to the third floor of the meal bag, but Tian Xin had not yet arrived.

Raised his hand and looked at his watch, the time was just six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that Tian Xin would arrive in a while, so Chu Tianqi drank tea and waited.

Boredom, Chu Tianqi looked out the window.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the street lights are already lit up on the streets outside. In fact, on the way just now, the street lights were on, but Chu Tianqi only cared about things and didn't pay attention to the situation outside the car. Although it is already dark night, under the light, you can still feel the gray color in the air, the pollution in the provincial capital and the surrounding area is too serious, and there are more and more haze days.

The weather is very cold, the air quality is very bad, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, and even if there are occasional people passing through, it is tightly wrapped and hurried. There are more vehicles passing through the street, to be precise, "snail walking", the road is seriously congested, and the vehicles can't run at all, just like a snail crawling, and it's crawling and stopping.

Looking at the crowded streets, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh secretly: The times are developing, the economy is developing, but then there are more problems, such as pollution, traffic jams, and so on. This is not only a product of the development of the times, but it is not completely inevitable, and many times it is caused by insufficient estimates, insufficient understanding, and measures that cannot keep up. From this and that, thinking of the urban construction work of Chengkang City, he warned himself: we must estimate some potential problems as much as possible while developing, and take countermeasures as soon as possible.

Just when Chu Tianqi was sighing with emotion, a figure suddenly broke into his eyes, and the figure looked very familiar. He couldn't help but wonder: Is it her? What is she doing?

Driven by curiosity, Chu Tianqi stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, on the sidewalk of the road, the figure happened to be standing under the street lamp, dressed in red was very conspicuous, especially the fat * buttocks and fleshy waist tightly wrapped in red clothes and pants. The figure bent over and slipped into a black sedan parked at his side, which was tightly stuffed in front and back, and the license plate number was not visible.

"What are you looking at, can't pull your eyes out?" a voice sounded behind him.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly withdrew his gaze and turned around, it turned out that Tian Xin was already standing at the entrance. He immediately said, "Teacher Tian, I'm here to see if you've arrived, I've been waiting." ”

"You don't blush when you lie, I've been standing at the door for almost ten minutes, and you haven't even looked back, and you say you're waiting for me. As she spoke, Tian Xin hung her coat and satchel on the hanger.

Chu Tianqi said: "It's been ten minutes, can't it? I've only stood here for five or six minutes." ”

"Look, let's say it, who knows who you're looking at. Tian Xin pointed at the other party, "Actually, I just arrived, but I just deceived you, and this fraud is a ghost." ”

"I can't tell you. Chu Tianqi raised his hand and surrendered.

The waiter walked into the room at the right time, the two of them each ordered a smooth meal, and the waiter went out.

Tilting his head and staring at the other party, Tian Xin said, "Mayor Chu, didn't you contact me in such a hurry just to invite me to dinner, right?"

"You are my homeroom teacher, it is natural for students to invite the teacher to eat, please don't think too much about it, Mr. Tian. Chu Tianqi poured tea into the other party's cup as he spoke.

"You are a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor, I am just a Bai Ding who does miscellaneous work in a unit, don't be long and short, teachers and students, I can't afford it. Tian Xin shook her hand again and again, and then smiled "poof", "Of course, since the big leader exalts me like this, then I'm not welcome, I won't think about it much, and you don't have to ask questions, I'm here to eat." ”

Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe": "You have to chat when you eat, otherwise it will be too dull." ”

Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and the two were eating, drinking, and chatting, but as soon as Chu Tianqi mentioned Ning Junqi, Tian Xin diverted the topic.

I couldn't hold it back, Chu Tianqi asked again: "Is Junqi doing well now, is there something to hide from me?"

Tian Xin didn't interrupt this time, but was very puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Secretary Li and I once had an agreement, did he tell Junqi?What did Junqi think?Is she going to get married?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"Who said that?" Tian Xin was surprised, "How is it possible? I told you last time that she didn't agree to that family business." Who said that?"

"I, I had a dream in which she told me so. Chu Tianqi lied, so as not to ask about the text message.

"Giggles", Tian Xin laughed, "I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night." Don't worry, Junqi is still alone, let alone married, and he doesn't even come into contact with young people of the opposite sex. Speaking of this, she sighed, "Hey, she's out of shape now, and she had a quarrel with her dad the day before yesterday, and she cried with me on the phone for a long time." ”

……

By the time I left the restaurant, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Got into a taxi, sent Tian Xin home first, and then Chu Tianqi returned to the hotel.

After paying the fare and getting off the taxi, Chu Tianqi came to the front of the hotel. As he was about to enter the turnstile, he suddenly stopped his steps, and after a moment's pause, flashed to the left, and looked into the hall through the glass of the side door.

In the temporary rest area of the hotel lobby, a woman dressed in red sits in a temporary lounge area. Although the woman was facing the direction of the door, and although he could only see the woman's side face, Chu Tianqi had already determined that this was the man in red who saw the roadside outside when he was in the restaurant. He couldn't help but wonder and asked himself again: What is she doing here?

Just as Chu Tianqi was questioning, the woman in red in the hall stood up and walked towards the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, the woman casually glanced back and then *entered the elevator.

When the woman turned around just now, she completely saw the other party's face, which confirmed Chu Tianqi's previous judgment.

"Didi", a whistle sounded, and a beam of light came. Chu Tianqi knew that the car was coming, so he hurriedly straightened his waist and entered the hotel lobby through the revolving door.

When passing through the lobby, Chu Tianqi subconsciously looked at the temporary rest area, glanced at the position where the woman in red had just sit, and walked quickly to the elevator.

At the moment when he pressed the elevator down button, Chu Tianqi glanced at the numbers displayed above the elevator. He found that the number on the elevator on the right was "8", and this elevator was the one that the woman in red was riding just now. He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: That girl is extravagant enough. Chu Tianqi knows that the eighth floor is full of luxury suites and high-end sunshine rooms, and the price of the room is about 1,000, and the room price for one night on the eighth floor is enough for him to stay for three nights.

A short piece of music sounded, the elevator on the right side opened, and Chu Tianqi raised his legs and entered the car. Suddenly, a perfume smell rushed to the nose tube, and the car closed, and the smell became stronger. This is a long-lost taste, and it is also a taste that makes Chu Tianqi disgusted, he can't help frowning and thinking: After so many years, it is still this sassy taste.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and Chu Tianqi stepped out of the elevator and returned to his room. It was a standard room with two single beds, one for him and one for Sharpsword, who hadn't returned yet.

Taking off his jacket, Chu Tianqi lay on his back on the bed, looking at the roof, and couldn't help but think of the woman in red upstairs again. A series of question marks surged up in her mind: What is she doing here? Is she here on business or private? Is she coming alone or with others? After thinking about it, Chu Tianqi shook his head and gave the answer: I don't know.

And then the question arose: how could she live in such an expensive room? Public expenses? This is too much beyond the norm. Spending money by herself? Impossible, she values money and power more than life. So who can pay for him? Is there a big deal of money, or is it a high-ranking official?

"Wow", the induction sound of the electronic door lock sounded, the door was pushed open, and the sword walked in.

"Mayor, I'm coming back late. Li Jian said with apologies.

"It's not too late, I've just come back. While speaking, Chu Tianqi got up from the bed, walked into the bathroom, and went to wash.
