Ever since he had a cold in November, Xue Fei's right eyelid has been jumping every now and then. And since Fei left, he has been jumping every day, and he has never stopped.

Folklore has it that his left eye jumps with wealth and his right eye jumps with disaster, Xue Fei doesn't believe in this thing, but because he has something in his heart, and his right eyelid keeps jumping, he also mutters a little in his heart.

It's the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the Xue family all returned to their hometown in Qihe, on the one hand, to go to Xue Rengui's grave, and on the other hand, to find the feeling of spending the New Year in their hometown. Seven rivers are roots, no matter how far you go, you can't forget Ben.

What Xue Fei didn't expect was that the reunion of their high school classmates was still held every year, and this year he went back and learned that he also attended the party later.

In fact, since Xue Fei came to work in Bingcheng, he basically stopped attending high school reunions. After that, I went to work in the Ministry of Security, and then to Nanhe, and the high school classmates I often contacted became very few. In the eyes of outsiders, Xue Fei has become a big official, and he can't look down on his old classmates in the past, but he really isn't. Xue Fei cares most about the friendship between classmates and friends, he doesn't keep in touch with his old classmates in the past, mainly because his work and life are not in the same place, and he can't catch up with the right time for the New Year's holiday. Besides, Xue Fei became a big leader, and he was always worried that someone would ask him to do something, so he would be very embarrassed. So when all kinds of factors come together, estrangement is inevitable.

I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone shush and ask for warmth, and they are all quite enthusiastic. But Xue Fei could clearly feel that there was still a lot of distance between him and these old classmates, and everyone was more respectful to him and less sincere.

Xue Fei knew that there was no way to do it.

When a dozen people were sitting around and chatting, the door of the private room opened, and another old classmate came. Xue Fei was somewhat surprised when he saw that it was Qu Yuanyuan, but he didn't expect her to come.

Xue Fei sat still and didn't move, while many of the other students stood up to greet him.

Although among his high school classmates, Xue Fei has the highest official position, but in terms of popularity, he is not as good as Qu Yuanyuan, the host of variety shows who has hosted the Spring Festival Gala in recent years.

Qu Yuanyuan saw Xue Fei at a glance when she entered the room, and seeing that Xue Fei didn't mean to greet her, she didn't pay attention to Xue Fei, but greeted other old classmates.

Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and from beginning to end of the whole meal, neither of them had any verbal communication, only occasionally had eye contact, but after touching each other, they would immediately look away.

Singing after dinner has basically become a standard form of entertainment. Some of my classmates opened a large leisure club in Qihe, which had a KTV private room, and everyone drove over after eating.

Xue Fei hadn't been to an entertainment venue for many years, and he hadn't had a good impression of that kind of place, so he didn't want to go. But everyone said to go, and let him go too, and he didn't want to spoil the fun for the New Year, so he had to go with him.

The KTV room is very lively, and everyone is talking and laughing. Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan were very quiet, the two of them sat in the corner, just chatting with the people next to them occasionally, and the rest was looking at their phones.

I don't know who it is, so I suddenly coaxed Xue Fei and Qu Yuanyuan to sing a chorus, and the two of them waved their hands and refused. But it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, everyone coaxed, and finally the two of them had to stand up and sing a song "Knowing Love".

During the singing, the two people made some eye contact. At the end of the song, Qu Yuanyuan glanced at Xue Fei, even though Xue Fei understood it, but at the same time, he didn't feel close to emotion, he didn't expect that he hadn't been in touch for so long, and he still had this tacit understanding.

After singing, the two of them left the private room one after another on the pretext of going to the toilet.

At the bend in the hallway, the two men met.

"It's been a long time, are you okay?" Qu Yuanyuan looked at Xue Fei tenderly and asked.

Xue Fei smiled and said, "It's good." What about you? ”

"I'm fine, too. The kid is fine, too. Qu Yuanyuan took out her mobile phone, and the screensaver was a photo of the two children.

Xue Fei took the phone and took a closer look, the eyebrows and eyes of the two children were exactly the same as his, and his father's unique smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Have you offended someone?" Qu Yuanyuan suddenly asked.

Xue Fei was stunned for a moment, returned the phone to Qu Yuanyuan and said, "No." Where do you start with that? ”

Qu Yuanyuan's eyes flickered, and she didn't answer positively: "If you offend someone, it's best to find a way to solve it as soon as possible, so as not to cause problems after a long time." ”

Seeing that Qu Yuanyuan didn't seem to want to say more, Xue Fei didn't ask. Thinking that he didn't offend anyone, could it be that Qu Yuanyuan was referring to Jing Tian's matter? It's impossible for Qu Yuanyuan to know about this.

Qu Yuanyuan handed the phone to Xue Fei again: "Leave me a mobile phone number, I won't bother you if I'm fine." ”

Xue Fei hesitated, but still took the phone.

After the Spring Festival, it is the annual national two/meeting.

On the eve of the meeting, Xue Fei suddenly received a call from Ling Zhongyuan, asking him to go to Jingtian immediately. Xue Fei seemed to be very angry and anxious when he heard Ling Zhongyuan's tone, as if something big had happened. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Jingtian after hanging up the phone.

knocked on the door and entered Ling Zhongyuan's study, something flew towards Xue Fei, Xue Fei couldn't react at all, it hit his brain, and immediately broke a hole, and the blood came down.

Xue Fei's whole person was completely stunned, he reached out and touched his head, his hands were covered with blood. When he looked further on the ground, he realized that it was a teacup that hit him.

"Why are you messing with the Rong family? What exactly did you do to the Rong family? How old are you, you are almost fifty years old, and you are still so immature as the secretary of the provincial party committee, let me say what is good about you? Ling Zhongyuan pointed at Xue Fei angrily and scolded with a slashing face.

Xue Fei slowed down before coming back to his senses.

Hearing Ling Zhongyuan say about the Rong family, he immediately thought of Jing Tian, but as soon as he was about to speak, he was ordered to be evicted by Ling Zhongyuan: "Get out!" Disappear from my eyes, I don't want to see you again! ”

Coming out of the study, Xue Fei was still confused, this was the first time he had seen Ling Zhongyuan lose such a big temper, what happened?

When he came downstairs, Wei Jun saw that Xue Fei's forehead was bleeding, so he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Why is it bleeding?" What happened? ”

Xue Fei squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't know what's going on, as soon as I entered the house, Uncle Ling hit me with a teacup very angrily." ”

What happened to the Rong family? Xue Fei's mind was full of question marks at the moment.

Wei Jun was very shocked that Ling Zhongyuan was beating people. She knew that Ling Zhongyuan's temper was not very good, especially every time she saw Xue Fei, she would not start beating people. However, thinking that Ling Zhongyuan's face was very unsightly when he came back in the evening, Wei Jun guessed that something big must have happened.

Wei Jun took out the medicine box at home, treated Xue Fei's wound, and put a band-aid.

As soon as Xue Fei thanked Wei Jun, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, it was He Qingyi calling.

"You're coming to Jingtian. Come to me, I have something to tell you. He Qingyi said in a gloomy tone.

How did He Qingyi know that he had come to Jingtian? And listening to He Qingyi's tone of voice, it seems that there is something very important to find him. Could it be that He Qingyi is looking for him and Ling Zhongyuan for a thing?

With a stomach full of doubts, Xue Fei rushed to He Qingyi's residence.

"What's wrong with you?" He Qingyi looked at Xue Fei's head and asked with a straight face.

Xue Fei couldn't say that it was Ling Zhongyuan: "I accidentally touched it, it's nothing."

"Do you know what I called you for?"

"I don't know."

"Premier Ling didn't tell you?"

It seems to be a real thing. Xue Fei was puzzled: "What's wrong with the Rong family?" What does it have to do with me? ”

"What happened between you and the Rong family, you should know best in your heart. Now the Rong family is going to move you. He Qingyi's expression and words were full of anger, helplessness, depression, and even a hint of hatred.

Xue Fei's brain "boomed", as if it had been blown up by a bomb: "What are they going to do with me?" ”

"After two meetings, I won't let you serve in Nanhe again."

"Where do I go?"

"I don't know yet. But one thing is for sure, not a good place, and an idle job. ”

Xue Fei instantly seemed to have fallen into an abyss, was stunned for a long time, and asked, "There is nothing you and Premier Ling can do?" ”

He Qingyi shook his head: "This is what the general secretary meant. ”

He Qingyi sighed after speaking.

Xue Fei was shocked again: "General Secretary? Don't...... Could it be that the general secretary is a member of the Rong family? ”

He Qingyi looked at Xue Fei in surprise: "Don't you know?" ”

Of course Xue Fei didn't know. Jing Tian is not surnamed Rong, and the general secretary is not surnamed Rong, and the Rong family is really willing to make a fuss about the name.

For a moment, there was no sound in the room, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that the air seemed to become thinner, making it difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, Xue Fei looked at He Qingyi with thirsty/eager eyes and asked, "Is there no remedy?" ”

He Qingyi shook his head and said, "No." Maybe ......"

Xue Fei hurriedly asked, "Maybe what?" ”

"Maybe the only one who can help you is yourself." After He Qingyi finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Help yourself? Xue Fei couldn't figure out what it meant.

Coming out of He Qingyi's residence, the top-heavy Xue Fei was about to get in the car and leave, but he didn't know if his feet were not solid or the ground was slippery, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Sitting on the ground, Xue Fei clenched his fists angrily and punched the ground fiercely. In fact, he did not hate the earth, but hated himself.

Back in Zhengzhou, while waiting for the opening of the National Two/Session, Xue Fei lived like a year, as if waiting for a sentence, as if every day that passed, it was one step closer to his sentence.

Xue Fei, who didn't have a single white hair before, suddenly grew a lot of white hair during this time. I can't sleep at night, I don't have an appetite for food, I usually don't talk much, and my whole mental state looks very bad, as if I have aged ten years all of a sudden. The people around him were all worried about Xue Fei, but no one knew what was going on, and they couldn't ask.

The national two/meeting came as scheduled, and for nearly two weeks, Xue Fei didn't know how he was doing, but there was no doubt that he was very tormented. However, after the conclusion of the two/session, he was really relieved and relieved.

On the day of the closing, the high-level officials announced the decision on the adjustment of Xue Fei's work: Comrade Xue Fei will no longer hold the posts of secretary, standing committee member, and member of the Nanhe Provincial Party Committee, and will be appointed to another position.
