Chapter 12
In the urban area, in a unit building inside an ordinary residential community, Zhang Ruoming's family had just had dinner, Li Qing went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks and came out, and sat in front of the TV with her husband waiting to watch Nanzhou News at 7:40 tonight.
In the past, Zhang Ruoming would help his son with his homework in the house, but these few nights, Zhang Ruoming did not accompany his son to do his homework, but watched the Nanzhou news at night every night, and his wife Li Qing often sat with him at this time, and the husband and wife would stare at the TV screen for fear of missing something.
"Hey, Ruoming, are you sure that this new Mayor Chen is really your college classmate?" The news broadcast at seven o'clock is about to start, and when it is over, it is the evening news of Nanzhou TV, Li Qing picked up the photo of her husband's college graduation from the past and sighed lightly.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, since the husband contacted a classmate in Haicheng at the university, knowing that the new mayor Chen Xing was her husband's classmate when he was in college, both husband and wife were excited, couldn't sleep all night, from more than 10 o'clock to the bed, and chatted until the morning, both husband and wife are looking forward to whether life will change, Li Qing is faintly able to straighten her waist in the unit, she thinks that her husband has worked hard for so many years, and now there is such a classmate, finally have a bright day, never thoughtMayor Chen, who was a classmate of her husband, had been here for several days, but she had never contacted them.
"Huang Ming and Chen Xing have been classmates since high school, and they have the best relationship, I just found Huang Ming's number through other classmates and asked from Huang Ming's mouth in person, it can't be fake." Zhang Ruoming smiled bitterly, he has also experienced the process from excitement to disappointment in the past few days, and the loss in his heart is not a little bit.
"You've seen this photo several times, and you've compared it with the picture on TV, can you tell me if it's the same person? The photo was from nine years ago, and in addition to being a little younger, he was almost carved out of the same mold as the mayor Chen on TV, do you think it can be fake. Zhang Ruoming glanced at the photo in his wife's hand and shook his head.
"People have been coming to Nanzhou for several days, and they haven't contacted you, even if it's your classmates, maybe they have forgotten about you." Li Qing stared at the TV, her eyes were full of disappointment, her husband finally had such a life-changing opportunity, but in the end, it was possible that he just liked it.
"What you said makes sense, maybe he forgot that there is a classmate like me in Nanzhou, he is now the mayor, we are just an errand runner in the Statistics Bureau, one in the sky and one in the underground, it is normal for people not to remember me, it seems that we have our own extravagant hopes." Zhang Ruoming smiled self-deprecatingly, this peaceful life has caused a little ripple because of Chen Xing's arrival, there is a classmate who is the mayor, Zhang Ruoming will have illusions about the future even if he has no quarrel with the world, no one is born to like to be an errand runner, and the reality has given him a big blow.
"In fact, if you are sure that this Chen Xing is your classmate, you can take the initiative to contact him, why wait for him to take the initiative to contact you, you know, now you are the mayor, you are a small chief clerk, not you are the mayor, you sit and wait for him to contact you, is it putting the cart before the horse." Li Qing looked at her husband.
"Forget it, there's no need to do that, I haven't been in touch for years, and now as soon as someone becomes mayor, I run over to contact people, in his eyes, what will they think of me? Don't treat me as a realistic person, it's not good, it's not bad to just be like this, let's continue to live our little life, and we don't have to think about anything, no thoughts, but live comfortably. Zhang Ruoming smiled reluctantly.
"You can't say that, the opportunities are all won by yourself, you want to sit and wait for the opportunity to find the door by yourself, there is no such good thing in the world, Mayor Chen may have really forgotten, how do you know that he will deliberately not contact you? If you take the initiative to find him, maybe he will be very happy, but if you don't take the initiative like this, how can you win a future for yourself? ”
Li Qing looked at her husband with some hatred, it was just in the past, Li Qing knew the situation of their small family, and the family had nothing to do with it, so her husband had to live a good life in the unit, Li Qing also felt that it would be like that, she also understood her husband's character, and she was not good at fighting with others, even if she wanted to fight, it didn't matter, she couldn't fight with others, so Li Qing didn't force it, but this time, all kinds of signs can confirm that the new Mayor Chen is her husband's college classmate, this is a great opportunity for her husband, But her husband was the same as before, and he retreated before he could fight for it, and Li Qing was a little angry all of a sudden.
"Hey, it's not like I'm not going to fight for it, but do you think it's realistic?" Zhang Ruoming said helplessly.
"How unrealistic, you two have been classmates for four years, with this relationship, even if you take the initiative to find him, isn't it justified." Li Qing looked at her husband with hopeful eyes, she didn't force her husband before, but this time, he hoped that his husband would fight for it.
At night, Nanzhou Baiyun Hotel, with a luxury car stopped, the gate of Baiyun Hotel gradually became lively, from the car to get off, are successful people in the business community of Nanzhou City, celebrities, tonight, Baiyun Hotel VIP Hall has been contracted by the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce, held this year's autumn tea party.
On a main road in the city, a BMW and a Toyota drove one after the other, and in the back seat of the BMW, there was a young woman who was not yet thirty years old, and in the passenger seat, a young woman in her early thirties. ”
"Mr. Lu, this matter is a bit difficult to do, those witnesses are now shaking their heads and denying that they didn't see the situation that night, they are all like this, and it will be even more difficult for us to find out the evidence of Lin Hong's instigation of the crime." The person named Sister Tan in the passenger seat turned his head and said.
"Is there no other way? Just let the wicked go unpunished. The woman's hands clenched into fists, and her eyes flashed with hatred.
"Mr. Lu, that Lin Hong not only has a strong government background, but is also said to be related to people in the underworld, I'm afraid we can't do anything with her, and Lin Hong may have noticed that we are collecting evidence of her crimes, and she will definitely deal with it, I'm worried... I'm afraid she'll do it to you. The woman named Sister Tan was worried.
"If she wants to attack me, just come, she has already instructed someone to beat my dad to paralyze, and she can only spend the rest of her life in bed, and if she has the ability, she will send someone to beat me and kill our whole family, so that no one will dare to go against her." The young woman's silver teeth rattled.
The young woman is Lu Xiaojing, the general manager of Jindu Hotel, her father is Lu Chenglong, chairman of Jindu Hotel, since the father had an accident, Lu Xiaojing took on the responsibility of hotel management, their Lu family is not a wealthy family in Nanzhou City, but there is also a lot of fame, in the early years, my father started by running a hotel, and then the business became bigger and bigger, and the scale of the hotel expanded to become a hotel, and the location of the hotel at that time became a prosperous area in the urban area because of the later urban planning, the business is not bad, and the Lu family is also considered to be a wide source of wealth, Then two branches were opened, distributed in two economically developed county-level cities under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou City, their Lu family now has three hotels, the urban area is four-star, and the two counties and cities below are also three-star hotels.
But a few months ago, a nightmare came, a woman named Lin Hong, who was very active in the business community of Nanzhou City, wanted to buy their hotel, Lu Chenglong refused in person, and because Lin Hong's bid was very low, Lu Chenglong reprimanded the other party for this is an intentional insult, like the robber, the two sides were very unhappy, I didn't expect that night, Lu Chenglong was seriously injured by an unknown person, and after being sent to the hospital, a life was saved, but it also ended up paralyzed, and Lu Xiaojing really took on the responsibility of the hotel from that time.
In the past few months, Lu Xiaojing has been looking for the person who did the black hand to her father behind her back, and Lin Hong naturally became the most suspected, but because there is no evidence, even if Lu Xiaojing reported to the police and asked the Public Security Bureau to investigate Lin Qing, the Public Security Bureau rejected it on the grounds of insufficient evidence, even if Lu Xiaojing prepared a lot of money in the hope of opening up the relationship with the Public Security Bureau, the result was in vain, and I don't know when those who were officials became so honest and honest, and they all refused to send money to the door.
The woman surnamed Tan is Lu Xiaojing's assistant, called Tan Fang, who used to be the assistant to the chairman of the hotel, after Lu Chenglong was injured, he asked Tan Fang to assist his daughter Lu Xiaojing in managing the hotel, and the relationship between the two is very good.
"I'm afraid that Lin Hong will also go to the tea party tonight, I'm really sure if I will do anything out of the ordinary after seeing her with my own eyes." Lu Xiaojing said hatefully.
"Don't, general manager, you must refrain from doing so, there are still many city leaders present at night, you will only have a negative impact on yourself by doing that, and since Lin Hong has something to do with the underworld, it is irrational for us to compete with her." Tan Fang glanced at the Toyota car behind her, there were several bodyguards invited by Lu Xiaojing in the car, after Lu Chenglong's accident, she asked her daughter to ask for bodyguards as soon as possible, and someone to protect her when she traveled.
Seeing Lu Xiaojing's silence, Tan Fang hurriedly persuaded, "General manager, we came here in the evening in the hope that we could talk to the leaders of the city to see if we could let the leaders of the city come forward to ask about this matter. ”
"Hey, I don't know how to restrain myself, but I really met Lin Hong face to face, do you think I can calm down."
"If you can't be calm, you have to be calm, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the chairman is now bedridden, and he doesn't want you to go to Lin Hong impulsively, his biggest wish is that you hope that you can keep the foundation of the hotel and let the hotel operate." Tan Fang persuaded her bitterly, and she also served the Lu family conscientiously.
"It's been a few months, and people from industrial and commercial taxation and fire protection come to the hotel every once in a while to make trouble, and they are called inspections, in the past, they used to deal with these people with money, and now it doesn't even work to give money, we dare to send it, people don't dare to accept it, who is behind this Lin Hong, how can she have such a big ability." Speaking of the hotel, Lu Xiaojing's attention also shifted and she frowned deeply.
"Her background in the government is too big, we can't fight her from the front, and now we can only take one step at a time, Lin Hong wants to use the relationship of the government to make our hotel unable to operate normally, and it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult, but I am afraid that Lin Hong will have a backstroke, and now it is just that people from the government departments are looking for various reasons to check, I am afraid that there will be people on the underworld to intervene later, if Lin Hong lets some ruffians and hooligans come to the hotel to sabotage, then the hotel is really unable to operate." Tan Fang smiled bitterly.
"Even if it can't be opened, I'd rather the hotel be closed than let her succeed, she wants to buy our Lu family's big hotel at a low price, no way, even if it's rotten in my hands, I won't let her get her way." Lu Xiaojing gritted her teeth and said.
"Don't say such things first, after all, it's not the worst, by the way, the new Mayor Chen doesn't know how to behave, if he goes over at night, maybe I can find a chance to get to know him, he was transferred from above, and it has nothing to do with the cadres of the city, maybe I can find hope from him." Tan Fang looked at Lu Xiaojing and comforted her, she just worked for the Lu family, but Lu Chenglong has always been very good to her, and Tan Fang sincerely hopes that the Lu family can get through this difficulty.
"I'll find out later, I hope the new Mayor Chen won't disappoint." A glimmer of hope flashed in Lu Xiaojing's eyes, she didn't plan to come over tonight, and it was only after hearing that many city leaders would attend that Lu Xiaojing changed her mind, for the Lu family, now it is urgent to get acquainted with powerful people in officialdom, and her father was not without connections in officialdom in the past, but this time I don't know what's going on, those people have all cleared up and didn't dare to help, which also made Lu Chenglong's father and daughter realize how big Lin Hong's origin is, which is also the reason why Lu Chenglong asked his daughter not to rush to find Lin Hong for revenge, The strength of both sides is not on the same line at all.
