Ye Ming had already stretched out his right hand when Secretary Lu stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands with him, but he didn't expect his hand to suddenly freeze halfway, his eyes stared at him fixedly, his face showed a look of surprise, he couldn't help but be very embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out what Secretary Lu meant for a while......

After all, Lu Zhiyao is the secretary of the provincial party committee, and his determination and willpower are very comparable, although he was extremely shocked in his heart at the moment, but the shocked expression was only fleeting, his face quickly returned to calm, and he showed an easy-going and friendly smile again, stretched out his generous and warm palm, held Ye Ming's right hand tightly, and said enthusiastically: "Comrade Xiao Ye, your deeds, I not only read the typical materials reported by your provincial bureau, but also personally listened to Comrade Li Runji tell about the thrilling process at that time. You are so young, you have such a high level of kung fu, and you are so bold and courageous, you deserve a special book! ”

Ye Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "Secretary Lu has won the award!" At that time, in such a critical situation, I thought that as long as it was a person with blood, a sense of justice, and a conscience, he would stand up and save people. What I did was nothing more than what an ordinary person should do, not a heroic feat. I am truly deserved to receive such a grand commendation and to be so highly praised by you this time! ”

Lu Zhiyao saw that his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, his speech and demeanor were calm and decent, and he did not have the flattered and incoherent gaffe appearance of ordinary people when they were praised by the secretary of the provincial party committee, and his good impression of him increased a little more, and he thought that it was no wonder that every time Comrade Runji talked about this young man with him, he was full of praise and appreciation. Now it seems that this young man is indeed calm and capable, and his aura is extraordinary, and he will definitely be a manufacturable material in the future......

After shaking hands with Ye Ming and chatting for a few words, Lu Zhiyao seemed to ask very casually: "Comrade Xiao Ye, looking at your materials, you are from Xinleng County, K City, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Is your mother also a native of Xinleng County?"

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what Secretary Lu was doing, and suddenly asked his mother, thought for a while, and then replied: "That's right, my mother is also from Xinleng County!" ”

Ye Ming actually learned from his mother when he was twenty years old: her hometown is actually from Zijiang County, a neighboring county in Xinleng, and her grandparents are an only daughter of her mother, and she died very early, and Ye Ming has never even seen her grandparents.

However, his mother seemed to be very taboo about her hometown, and while telling him about it, she repeatedly told him that this matter should never be mentioned to anyone, even if his friends who had a good time, including his future girlfriend, could not disclose this information!

At that time, he felt as if his mother was hiding a lot of secrets. Moreover, he vaguely felt that these secrets were related to his mysterious biological father.

However, he is a very filial child who listens to his mother's words, so he firmly remembers his mother's instructions. For so many years, I have never told anyone that my mother is from Zijiang County.

Therefore, when Lu Zhiyao just asked where his mother was from, although he didn't want to lie to this seemingly easy-going and kind chief, when he remembered his mother's solemn advice, he still didn't tell him the truth......

Lu Zhiyao heard him reply that his mother was a native of Xinleng County, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, and he looked at Ye Ming carefully a few times, and then walked in front of him with a smile......

After the commendation meeting, Lu Zhiyao came out of the auditorium of the provincial party committee and walked to the office building of the provincial party committee. His secretary, Guo Zhijun, followed closely behind him.

When he was about to enter the office, Lu Zhiyao turned his head and asked Guo Zhijun: "Xiao Guo, where is Xu Lizhong?" Out of the office? You go find him now and ask him to come to my office in half an hour. ”

Guo Zhijun hurriedly put on a upright posture, agreed, and then handed the briefcase and teacup in his hand to Lu Zhiyao, turned around and went to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee on the third floor to find Xu Lizhong - he knew that Secretary Lu told him to go to Xu Lizhong at the door, instead of asking him to call, because he didn't want to follow him into his office, so he obediently left immediately.

Lu Zhiyao opened the door and entered the secretary's office, put the teacup on the wide mahogany desk, and threw the briefcase in the file basket on the left, then leaned back on the leather office chair, rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks with his hands, looked up and thought about the chair for a few minutes, and then, as if he remembered something, he got up and came to the safe in the west corner of the office, took out the key and opened the safe.

In the drawer on the third floor of the safe, Lu Zhiyao carefully and cherished a soft-cover diary with a yellowed cover.

This diary looks like a product of the last century, and although it looks old and rustic now, it is estimated that it should be the most advanced kind of diary in the original era.

At that time, there were no computers, no mobile phones, no text messages, no WeChat, and no QQ, and keeping a diary was the best way for some young people to record their thoughts and confide in their secret thoughts. In a sense, keeping a diary was also fashionable at that time, and it was a manifestation of culture and quality......

Lu Zhiyao took the diary in his hand and rubbed it a few times on the soft cover with his palm, a warm and cordial feeling that he had not seen for a long time, so that he couldn't help but sigh slightly with satisfaction.

Then, he carefully opened the diary and carefully looked at the line of graceful and clear pen words on the title page: "Yo Yo Deer Song, Apple of the Wild Food; Humble gentleman, tickle my heart! Below this sentence, there is an equally beautiful signature: Zhao Han!

After reading the sentence on the title page a few times in a mood, Lu Zhiyao opened the diary again, picked out a few diaries that he didn't know how many times he had read, and read them again from beginning to end. Then, from the gap between the soft leather and the colophon at the back of the diary, two equally yellowed photographs were pulled, along with a thin page of letterhead.

He read the short letter first: "Dear Yuan: Please forgive me for not saying goodbye, and please forgive me for not waiting for your divorce to marry me!" There are some things that can no longer be solved or resisted by the unwavering love between you and me, and the vows of the sea and the rocks. Therefore, I can only choose to escape! Please don't try to come to me, and don't feel guilty or upset that you made a promise to me, it was a choice I made willingly, not that you broke your oath or that you broke your promise! For you, for your future, for you not to be slandered and framed by those who hate you and want to bring you down, I can only make such a helpless decision! I love you, so deeply, so crazy! Therefore, for the sake of you not to be harmed, I am willing to make any sacrifice for you, even if it is for my whole life, I am willing to do it and will never regret it!

This diary is the diary I have kept for you since we knew and fell in love. From this diary, you can see how deep my love for you is! I hope it will stay with you for the rest of the day, just as I am by your side!

Dear Yuan, farewell!

Love you Han forever! ”
