Chapter 15 of the second part, Peng Zichao made an appointment to meet Ge Zeqi
In the past few days, one of the things Peng Zichao thinks about the most is how to communicate with Ge Zeqi face-to-face.
Ge Zeqi formally proposed to Ruan Mingzhu, which was unexpected by Peng Zichao and was expected by him. Ge Ze's behavior of abandoning his wife during the turbulent years was the same as Peng Zichao's wife publicly announcing her divorce in front of thousands of people at the criticism conference, and Peng Zichao was extremely disdainful. With Ge Zeqi's social status, there should be no shortage of women, but he has a soft spot for Ruan Mingzhu, who has long been aware of it and has always ignored it. Now that Ge Zeqi has made things clear, Ruan Mingzhu has no way out. Of course, Peng Zichao would not let Ruan Mingzhu fall into the hands of people like Ge Zeqi, so he chose a special day to ask Ge Zeqi to meet in the cafΓ©. Ge Zeqi understood that Peng Zichao met him as Ruan Mingzhu's elder, and he didn't dare to slack off, he wanted to marry Ruan Mingzhu, and this level could not be passed!
Both of them are old rivers and lakes, and there is no need to beat around the bush.
Peng Zichao got straight to the point. "Ruan Mingzhu's only elder is me, Mr. Ge has been her boss for many years, so she should know why her family is so desolate?"
Gozerqi nodded. "I know a thing or two. Her biological parents both disappeared during the turbulent years, and their whereabouts are still unknown, which is a tragedy of history, and I deeply sympathize! I remember that not long after Xiao Ruan joined the municipal party committee, I sent someone to investigate the disappearance of her biological parents, but it was too old to go deeper, and I couldn't solve it at the end. The only clue is that it may be related to the property of her house being raided. For that, I apologized to her in person! Xiao Ruan is a filial daughter with the utmost affection, and it is completely understandable that she is worried about the disappearance of her biological parents! β
Peng Zichao said: "There is a wise saying: 'The hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife' are the two major regrets in life. If my sister and brother-in-law were in the spirit of heaven for a day, they would not be blind. Ruan Mingzhu will not be happy for a day, and there is no way to talk about marriage, not to mention that you are in a high position and fashionable and do nothing. Can she expect anything from you? β
Ge Zeqi blushed and said: "Mr. Peng is reasonable, I feel deeply guilty for failing to solve problems for Xiao Ruan." Speaking from my heart, I did put a lot of thought into it, this case has similarities with Qiao Jian's case, both are related to the seizure of family items, and the obvious difference is that Qiao Jian's case is in everyone's eyes. The target range is concentrated, and once a breakthrough is found, the truth will be revealed immediately. More importantly, Qiao Jianyi's son and his colleagues have been tracking down for several years. The key evidence has finally been obtained. However, the case of Guo Yonghuai is different, there is no clue to the mysterious disappearance of Guo Yonghuai and his wife, and we can only speculate according to common sense.
In that year, the state returned the materials for the seizure in accordance with the policy. This incident strengthened Guo Yonghuai's confidence in tracking down the looted materials. The couple wandered the streets all day. Guo Yonghuai's idea is that Sanjiang City is so big, even if he breaks the iron shoes, he will find out those four people. The hard work paid off, and once he really found two of them on the street, but before Guo Yonghuai could speak, the two turned around and ran, Guo Yonghuai chased after him, but how could he, a skinny middle-aged man, catch up with two strong young men? Half a month later, Guo Yonghuai and his wife disappeared. The neighbor said they went out in the evening and never came back! Due to the complicated social situation at that time. There are many similar disappearance cases, coupled with their social backgrounds, no one really takes it seriously to investigate, and it will be closed and become an unsolved case. β
When her sister and brother-in-law disappeared, Peng Zichao was being locked up in a "cowshed" to supervise labor, and Ruan Mingzhu was living with her cousin in the countryside and did not dare to go back to the city to visit her parents. It wasn't until half a year after Guo Yonghuai and his wife disappeared that Peng Zichao was released from the "cowshed" that he learned about it. He repeatedly approached the person in charge of the relevant unit to report the situation and ask for help, but he was all closed.
Some people said indifferently: You are looking for two black six elements? Hmph, don't look at what era it is, it's too late to do business, play the piano randomly!
Some people squinted at him for a long time, and said without yin or yang: Two class enemies are playing with us and disappearing? This is a new trend in the hierarchical struggle!
There are also people who wide-eyed and reprimand: Repeatedly protect the reactionaries, your position has not been reformed? If you dare to pester, I'll send you back to the "cowshed", believe it or not?
Peng Zichao has no way to appeal, and he wants to cry without tears. He made up his mind to check it himself! It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Peng Zichao remembers reading a foreign novel called "The Earl of Chicken Belly Mountain", which tells the story of a young man who spent ten years in prison because he was framed and betrayed by a friend, and made friends with an old pirate in prison. Before dying in prison, the old pirate told him an astonishing secret: in one of the oceans there was a mountain of chickens, and the cave contained an endless treasure to hide. After the young man was released from prison, he used this inexhaustible wealth to carry out a revenge plan, and finally got his wish.
Peng Zichao thought that money could make ghosts grind. But I'm a poor man, and this path will definitely not work. What to do? He pondered for a few nights, and finally came up with a long-term plan to treat him in the way of others. Over the years, Peng Zichao has basically been moving forward step by step according to the plan, and he is still confident in the future.
In fact, Peng Zichao still had a bottom in mind when he formulated the plan at that time. After Peng Zichao came out of the "cowshed", Guo Zihuai's neighbor Xiao Sanzi secretly told him two very important clues: On the afternoon when Guo Zihuai's house was raided, Xiao Sanzi came over to see the excitement and remembered the appearance of the four Red Guards. On the day Guo Zihuai disappeared, Xiao Sanzi saw them talking to two people at the entrance of Yezi Alley, one of whom was the person who signed the list of homes and claimed to be Liu Weimin. Xiao Sanzi hated the despicable methods of the four impostors, and took a few more looks, confirming that the two were impostors. Later, the third son saw Guo Zihuai and his wife seeing the two of them leave, but he didn't expect an accident to happen at that time, so he didn't care too much.
When Peng Zichao met Xiao Sanzi a few days ago, he also talked about the four impostors, and the person who called himself Chen Weidong was very similar to Liang Yimin, the leader in the city today. Peng Zichao asked him how sure he was, and the third son was quite confident and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." Peng Zichao said that the stakes are very important and should not be leaked. Xiao Sanzi said, I'm not stupid. Their power is so strong that we can't fight it! Peng Zichao said, not necessarily, only after handing over can we know who will kill the deer!
Peng Zichao has long known the situation that Ge Zeqi talked about, and it is basically good on the surface.
But he wasn't convinced. In the past few years, he has come into contact with various types of characters with the so-called "psychic master" that people say, peeked into the dark side of many human beings, and combined with his own personal experience, he will never trust others easily. The purpose of his communication with Ge Zeqi today was to make the other party break off his thoughts about Ruan Mingzhu.
Peng Zichao said thoughtfully: "Mingzhu often mentions you to me, and he has a good impression of you, thinking that you are courageous, sharp-eyed, and decisive. Moving from politics to business without hesitation shows that you are very impressive. In Mingzhu's mind, you are a respectable teacher and a wise leader. After her biological parents had an accident, she made a solemn oath in front of her parents' portraits that if she didn't find out the truth, she would never become a family! β
Ge Zeqi heard Peng Zichao's overtones, he was representing Ruan Mingzhu to show his attitude of refusing to marry, and this result was expected by him. Ruan Mingzhu's personality is quite persistent, as long as she believes that things will never be easily changed. If she did take a vow, then there was no need to worry about her finding a boyfriend before finding out the truth about her parents' disappearance.
In fact, this also leaves him with plenty of room to maneuver. GΓΆzer is confident that he is a sought-after target for modern women in every way except his age and previous marriages.
The fact that he has been divorced from his ex-wife for many years does not mean that he no longer has secret activities between men and women. He is a single man who is in a relationship with women who are also single, and no one can fault him. Although some people noticed that the frequency of changes in his dating partners was too high, they could only criticize it privately with the common sense that "love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan", but they could not seriously put it on the table for criticism. This gave Gozeqi a dignified special treatment: he enjoyed special pleasures and avoided the worries of being labeled as "corrupted life". This is also the real reason why Gozer has not been in a hurry to find a partner to marry again for several years, and it is also a stroke of genius that he thinks is smart. As for Ruan Mingzhu's failure to agree to his marriage proposal, it was only a slight frustration of his self-esteem, and it would not hurt him half a hair!
Gozeqi said generously: "I fully respect Nguyen Mingzhu's personal opinion. This move further proves that Xiao Ruan is a filial daughter who is sensible and knowledgeable, and she is more worthy of my respect. I would like to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Peng to bring Xiao Ruan a message: she can continue to pursue her parents' grievances, and I can wait as always. I believe that one day there will be a happy situation, and Mr. Peng will definitely wish me and Xiao Ruan happiness! β
Peng Zichao saw that he was using the strategy of retreating as a delay, and thought that this old fox would never stop there, and there would be a new name in the future. However, it is no different for Ruan Mingzhu to have temporarily passed a level! The purpose of today's meeting with Gozeqi has been initially achieved.
Gozer is still unsatisfied. "I have something I don't understand very well, I have long wanted to ask Mr. Peng, I wonder if Mr. Peng can give advice?"
Peng Zichao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. β
Ge Zeqi said: "A few days ago, the aquaculture industry in Meixinzhou was ready to expand its scale and wanted to find a partner. I thought about it, but was stopped by Nguyen Mingzhu. I've been thinking about this for a long time, Ruan Mingzhu's reasoning is very connotative, according to her usual level, it seems that she hasn't reached that height yet, unless there is a master behind her. I think this master should be you! What I want to ask is that Mr. Peng is also optimistic about this project, and Mr. Mei and you are good friends, why do you oppose our company's investment in Mr. Mei's project? β
Peng Zichao smiled. "Mr. Ge is worthy of being an old political worker, his eyes are like torches, and he is very keen! In fact, this reason is very simple, some projects are suitable for state-owned enterprises, and some may not. The machinery company is a state-owned enterprise, and it is still in a prosperous period, but the market economy is changing rapidly, and I don't want the iron rice bowl of the pearl to become a porcelain rice bowl! β
Gozeqi seemed to have realized and stopped talking.
Peng Zichao suddenly remembered something, and said slowly: "I have a question that I have been holding back for a long time, and I have long wanted to ask it in person, but I am afraid of violating Mr. Ge's privacy, alas, forget it, don't ask!" β
Ge Zeqi was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What is the matter?" (To be continued......)
