Chapter 188: Cheers to the Future
When the car arrived at Sanmen City, it was already more than four o'clock, Wang Ping'an was waiting at the gate of the family compound of the municipal party committee as usual, Li Changjian saw Wang Ping'an after getting out of the car, he was hiding his thoughts, and asked seemingly casually, "Ping'an, is your father at home?"
"I'm not at home, it's his turn to be on duty today."
"City leaders also have to be on duty?"
"Of course, during the New Year's holidays, the members of the leadership team have to take turns to be on duty, otherwise something urgent happens, and there won't even be a leader in the city."
When Li Changjian heard this, his heart was suddenly surprised, but since this is the case, then he will definitely not see Wang Ping'an's father today, Li Changjian couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"What, what's wrong again?" Wang Ping'an glanced at Li Changjian.
"You saw all this?" Li Changjian shook his head and smiled.
"You're almost writing the words on your face, can't I see it?" Wang Ping'an smiled dumbly, "If you have something to tell me, maybe I can help, if I can't help, it's not too late to find my dad." ”
Li Changjian heard Wang Ping'an say this, think about it, he himself has nothing to do with Wang Ping'an's father, and he can get into the eyes of others is completely because of Wang Ping'an's relationship, in the final analysis, whether he can speak or not also depends on Wang Ping'an, in fact, it is the same to tell Wang Ping'an, if Wang Ping'an can't help, he will communicate with his father through Wang Ping'an, and the effect will be better than what he said.
"Peace, since that's the case, then I won't see you outside." Li Changjian smiled, "My fourth uncle wants to fight for the position of town mayor, but he has nothing to do with the county, and last night because of my business, I offended the son of a deputy county magistrate." ”
Li Changjian also briefly talked about last night's incident, and as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping'an didn't say anything, but Wang Mingtang heard it first, but he first shouted, "Changjian, is there such a thing?" Why didn't you call me last night, ya. Lao Tzu took a few buddies and covered his face to beat that bastard, what's wrong with the son of the deputy county magistrate, let's beat him up and see what he can do. ”
"Yes, you should beat him, arrogant fart, we can't get used to this kind of person." Wang Ping'an nodded in agreement.
"Forget it, it's all over. Luckily, my mom was fine. Li Changjian shook his head and smiled, "Ping'an, don't talk nonsense to Mingtang, let's talk about it first, can my fourth uncle help with this." ”
"It shouldn't be difficult to help, it's just a town mayor's position, I don't think I'll find my dad, I'll help you with the staff." Wang Ping'an frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said. "Ping'an, didn't you come to my dad with your fourth aunt once because of your fourth uncle's arrest, that time my dad asked your fourth aunt to find Zeng Jicheng, I think I can do it by looking for him."
"Is it okay to find him? The key is that my fourth uncle has no special relationship with him, why should people help, if it wasn't for your father's face before, people probably wouldn't have interfered. Li Changjian frowned.
"Changjian, you don't understand this, in this officialdom, sometimes owing favors is equivalent to having friendships. Zeng Jicheng helped your fourth uncle before, even if it was because of my father's face, but if you really count it, your fourth uncle also owes Zeng Jicheng a favor. There is this layer of cause and effect, if your fourth uncle doesn't hurry up and take the opportunity to hug Zeng Jicheng's thigh, how long will you have to wait. Wang Ping'an said with a smile.
"What you say sounds like there is a trace of truth, but I'm afraid that my fourth uncle won't be able to hug someone's thigh if he wants to."
"It's possible, your fourth uncle is indeed short of an introducer." Wang Ping'an said with a smile, "Yes." Then I'll come to the fourth uncle to be your introducer. ”
"Can you do it?" Li Changjian looked at Wang Ping'an suspiciously.
"What's the matter, don't you underestimate me?" Wang Ping'an glanced at Li Changjian, "Okay, this matter is settled, let's go back to the county first, and then prepare to have a big drink in the evening." ”
"Come on, come, whoever is afraid of whom, it's not the man who falls first." Wang Mingtang had the opportunity to interject at this time, and said arrogantly.
"Fuck off, you're a wine barrel, who compares to you." Wang Ping'an scolded with a smile.
The three of them talked and laughed, and drove back to the county seat again, in fact, if it weren't for the appointment with Ji Jiaqi, Li Changjian felt that it was more fun in the city, and he wanted to find more entertainment activities after the dinner, but thinking that Ji Jiaqi was a girl, he was afraid that he didn't want to spend the night outside, so Li Changjian didn't mention it.
The car drove back to the county seat, and after picking up Ji Jiaqi in the old place, the group went to the food stall where they had eaten last year.
A few people still ordered barbecue and stir-fry, and ordered a case of beer, Li Changjian's eyes swept over the faces of Ji Jiaqi, Wang Ping'an, and Wang Mingtang, and finally fixed on Ji Jiaqi, these people, except for him and Wang Mingtang, should not have these intersections in the first place, and because of his appearance, each other's life trajectories are quietly changing, it should have been long ago. The dead Wang Ping'an escaped the catastrophe of life and death, and the three of them did not have much intersection with Ji Jiaqi, the proud daughter of the sky, but now they are sitting together drinking and talking about youth, Li Changjian doesn't know what will happen in the future, he only knows how to cherish the present, and hopes that the friendship between them can last forever.
"Jiaqi, you're going abroad this year, and I don't know if there's any hope of getting together at this time next year, so you have to make an exception and have two more drinks tonight." Li Changjian said with a smile.
"Goddess Ji is going abroad?" Wang Mingtang was surprised.
"Well, I've already contacted foreign schools, and I've passed the exam, so I'm ready to go out this semester." Ji Jiaqi smiled and nodded.
"Alas, a goddess is a goddess, always walking on the road of the ox fork, and I, a poor student who can only play the role of the bottom, can only look up to the back of the goddess for the rest of my life." Wang Mingtang sighed.
"Mingtang, don't be discouraged, it's still too late to study now, at least you don't have to look up behind your back in the future, well, you can kneel and look up from the front." Wang Ping'an grinned.
"Peace, you can despise me." Wang Mingtang rolled his eyes.
"In fact, no matter how good or bad you are, you don't have to be discouraged, a person's success is not measured by academic performance, and when you step into the society in the future, you may not be able to be more successful than others if you study well." Ji Jiaqi smiled indifferently, "But no matter what, hard work is always not wrong, today's meal, let's have a toast together, toast to the future." ”
"Okay, a toast to the future."
"Cheers to the future."
"Cheers to the future."
Li Changjian and the three of them raised their glasses together, and the four young hearts raised the sails of their dreams in this New Year's night, Li Changjian is familiar with the future, but he can't grasp life, he looks forward to the future, and wants to know how high he can go in his previous life as a ** silk.
And Ji Jiaqi, tonight, she is also a little fluctuating, a glass of wine, Ji Jiaqi stared at Li Changjian deeply, this is the first boy who makes her feel special, from the moment Li Changjian took the initiative to find her tutoring in the third year of high school, she really noticed Li Changjian, and also felt something different from other boys from Li Changjian, but her mind has always been on learning, and her strong personality also makes her firmly believe that women will not be worse than men, and this society should not be a male-dominated society, So she has always worked harder and harder than others, even if she has talent, she still works hard.
The focus on learning made Ji Jiaqi have no time to think about emotional matters, and she didn't want to think about it, staring at Li Changjian at the moment, Ji Jiaqi knew that her decision to go abroad this time would change the trajectory of her life, and she and Li Changjian, the first boy who made her feel special, the future path of the two may also drift apart, when the height gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, maybe they will never be able to go back to the past, this kind of different love makes Ji Jiaqi a little melancholy tonight.
