"I didn't expect it to be so complicated!" Luo Qianfan was very emotional after hearing this, and at the same time, his heart was full of doubts, "Is it really Lu Ming who fabricated the news out of thin air?" ”

“…… I don't want to say that Director Lu spread rumors, why did he recall him again after more than a year and promote him? If you want to say that you wronged him, why didn't you rehabilitate him in the past two years? The people in Metropolis Daily originally believed that Director Lu was wronged, but later there was a detail that skewed the scales. ”

"What details?"

Ge Deng flicked the cigarette ash and sighed: "It's a rumor, it is said that Director Lu had made an unannounced visit to the Gongcheng Group before and was beaten by the security guards, so he wanted to retaliate, which is why there is a 'rumor report' later." You see, there is cause and effect, purpose and motive, Director Lu wants to overturn the case...... It's hard to get it. ”

"So, do you think it's Director Lu who took revenge for personal gain, spreading rumors and slander?"

"I don't know. Your brain is alive, do you analyze and analyze? ”

Luo Qianfan also shook his head: "All analysis is speculation, not fact, and the truth is probably only known to Director Lu and Gao Ao." ”

Luo Qianfan said this, but he had his own judgment in his heart - judging from the report of the Gongcheng Group, if it was indeed Lu Ming who spread rumors, then arrogance was his "accomplice", but at the critical moment, he "lost his way and returned" and went ashore to expose Lu Ming's conspiracy, and Lu Ming deserved to be expelled.

If Lu Ming did not spread rumors, but was "kidnapped" by the Gongcheng group and beaten up by the Hongcheng Evening News and other media, then, as a crucial "witness" and helper, Gao Ao is a "betrayer" - perhaps for some reason, he did not stand by Lu Ming's side at the critical moment to be his backing, but kicked him into the bottomless abyss.

Which situation is closer to the truth, Luo Qianfan believes that it is the latter, otherwise, Gao Hao will not apologize to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming will not be determined thousands of miles away. However, it is obviously a master-apprentice partner, why did Gao Hao betray Lu Ming?

Luo Qianfan handed another cigarette to Ge Deng, and Ge Deng said, "Don't smoke, your mouth is dry", and took the cigarette and put it on her ear.

A person quietly came up behind him, came behind Luo Qianfan and Ge Deng and howled violently, which frightened the two of them, it was Hu Feifei, she couldn't stop laughing when she saw the frightened appearance of the two.

Gordon said, "You talk, I'll sing." Gordon left, and Hu Feifei asked Luo Qianfan: "What are you talking about, spending so much money not to sing, running here and kicking around?" I thought you came out and called the Weaver Girl. ”

Speaking of the Weaver Girl, Luo Qianfan suddenly remembered one thing, just now he exchanged text messages with Lotte, and was asking her if she could come to Hongcheng for the New Year, but he was forced to shut down by Hu Feifei in the middle of the conversation, and he forgot about it.

Hurriedly took out his mobile phone, the mobile phone was still in a shutdown state, Luo Qianfan said that it was broken, quickly turned it on, and after a while, more than ten text messages popped up on the mobile phone, all of which were sent by Lotte. Start with the first one: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to go back to Hongcheng for the New Year, my parents are so anxious that I can't go out, and my mother is suddenly in poor health and hospitalized." ”

Next: "Husband, why don't you reply to me?" I also want to go to Hongcheng to see your ......"

This was followed by several more: "Are you angry?" ”

"Sail?"

"Sail, why are you turning it off? I'm angry. ”

"I feel very uncomfortable."

"I've called five or six times......"

……

Luo Qianfan suddenly felt so guilty. Hu Feifei hooked his head and looked at him: "What? A text message from the Weaver Girl? I turned off the machine just now, and the weaver girl was in a hurry, right? ”

"Gotta gotcha, you don't care, go singing." Luo Qianfan rushed outside with his mobile phone and dialed Lotte's number. Hu Feifei also followed, dangling around Luo Qianfan, like a dog staring at the meat and bones in his master's hand.

Luo Qianfan frowned, afraid that she would talk nonsense next to her, so she made a silent gesture: "Don't speak." ”

Calls went unanswered.

I called again, but there was still no answer.

Luo Qianfan called for the third time, and finally picked it up. Luo Qianfan said: "Comrade Lotte, I love you, don't be angry, there was a sudden separation of man and machine just now." "Lotte was crying over there. Here, Hu Feifei's mouth touched the root of her ear, said "numb", and turned her face and left.

Luo Qianfan and Lotte's "naivety" is something that Hu Feifei cannot understand. They have long agreed that if a person is angry, he can refuse to answer the phone and refuse to answer it once, and if the other party wants to say sorry and refuse to answer twice, then he has to say "I love you".

The code of the agreement lasted for several years, from the youth and naivety of high school to the maturity after graduating from college, and after several years of persistence, this little agreement has become an extremely natural expression. The two are so dependent on each other that many trivial things do not need to be explained.

When asked about Le's mother's condition, Lotte said that it was not a serious illness, but the fever did not go away, and she was very anxious. Luo Qianfan comforted him in every way and said a lot of considerate words, until he sneezed several times in a row, and then realized that his clothes were still taken off in the KTV private room, and his body was about to freeze......

……

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Luo Qianfan prepared two thousand yuan red envelopes for New Year's greetings, one for Shang Yunfeng and one for Xia Fantian. Xia Fantian confiscated it and reprimanded him: "You just joined the work, don't engage in these vain things? Luo Qianfan was blasted out, and Luo Qianfan was very grateful to Mr. Xia in his heart.

Luo Qianfan wanted to transfer the red envelope to Lu Ming, but hesitated a little and didn't give it away.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Luo Qianfan went to buy many New Year's goods, some for his family, and some for Lao Kai and Song Xiaobeard's parents. In the afternoon, he called Lao Kai, who cleaned up and drove his girlfriend Ma Ling to pick up Luo Qianfan back to his hometown. Lao Kai has known Ma Ling for more than two years, and this is the first time he has taken her back to the village to meet her parents.

On the way, Luo Qianfan called Song Xiaobeard, and Song Xiaobeard said that there were still some things to be done, so let them go back first and get back again. Lao Kai smiled incomprehensibly and asked Luo Qianfan: "Do you know what this guy still has to do?" You wouldn't guess it, just waiting for a businessman like me to come to the door to give gifts! It's the New Year, and those who open bathrooms and hotels in his jurisdiction inevitably come to him and say that I am also running around these days, and I have to pay New Year's greetings in all aspects, and the etiquette is easy to walk. ”

Luo Qianfan felt that it made sense, and secretly wondered if the noodles he gave red envelopes were too narrow? Thinking about it again, I get my own salary, unlike Lao Kai who does business, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the matter of giving gifts and paving the way.

……

The Chinese New Year in the countryside is more lively than in the city, and people who work and work in other places have returned. Two more cars have been added to the village, and in villages of three or four hundred households, there are more than ten cars. In the past, everyone built a better house than anyone else, but now in addition to the house, buying a car has become another growth point in the village.

Lao Kai drove the car to Luo Qianfan's door first, Luo Qianfan's mother was already at the door to greet him, Lao Kai had a sweet mouth, and called his mother when he got out of the car, he has been shouting like this since he was a child. Ma Ling was mistaken, thinking that this was Lao Kai's own mother, and she also put away her pungent temperament and shouted "Mom" timidly, which confused Luo's mother.

Luo Qianfan laughed and said, "If you two have a mother, don't rob me, I'm just one mother, and there aren't many, so I can't go out." ”

Luo Qianfan beckoned his mother to help unload things from the car, and left the ones he bought for Lao Kai's parents in the car and let Lao Kai leave. Lao Kai unloaded some of the things he bought, handed them to Luo's mother, said that he was filial to her, and held Luo's mother's hand for a long time.

pulled over Ma Ling and introduced her to Luo's mother, saying, "Mom, look at it, does this daughter-in-law look energetic?" Luo's mother only then understood that Kua Ma Ling was good-looking. Ma Ling finally understood their relationship, and interjected and laughed on the side, very embarrassed.

Lao Kai said goodbye to Luo's mother and left. Sending them away, my mother was very happy, and nagged Luo Qianfan: "Ma Ling called my mother scared me when I met, I thought you had a falling out with Lotte, and found another one." ”

Luo Qianfan also smiled and said, "How does Ma Ling compare with Lotte?" ”

Luo's mother said: "It's worse than Lotte, but it looks good!" Luo Qianfan laughed.
