Chapter 70: Hong Zhendong's self-reflection
Hong Zhendong told Yu Xiaoying about the process of being followed by the captain of the beast, and fortunately Zhou Guoliang's brothers escaped with someone to protect her, and this matter was told to Hong Zhendong by Bao Xiaomiao.
Hong Zhendong looked depressed. "Actually, this matter is also related to me. Yu Xiaoying was originally protected by Master Qiao and He Bingbing, and Li Delin had no chance to do it at all. It was I who secretly sent him a letter that allowed him to take advantage of the loophole. I was surprised that there were so many people acting as flower messengers to protect Yu Xiaoying secretly. Zhou Guoliang's obsession also surprised me, he is still obsessed with this day, looking forward to one day revisiting his old dream with Yu Xiaoying. ”
Xia Minglan frowned. "So, you're feeling a little guilty, aren't you? Your actions are not as good as a pig and a dog compared to Zhou Guoliang! I know that your manhood has always looked down on chickens, dogs, thieves, and crumbs, why would you suddenly make such a vulgar behavior? ”
Hong Zhendong's voice was low. "I'm also asking myself what I'm trying to do. I was the first to find out that Li Delin was plotting against Yu Xiaoying, but I deliberately concealed it. I think Yu Xiaoying is protected by Master Qiao and He Bingbing, and if Yu Xiaoying has an accident, they will be responsible. Deputy Secretary Ge will be held accountable, and Master Qiao's life will be sad. I also know that Lu Dao used Yu Xiaoying's personal safety as a bet, which is a despicable move. But I still can't control myself. Cousin, you say, am I incorrigible? ”
Xia Minglan was very angry. "You've gone mad! pursued He Bingbing in vain, and became angry with Master Qiao, treating him as a rival in love. The two of them are getting better, and you are angry and jealous. A pair of eyes are staring at them all the time, trying to ruin Master Qiao's reputation and destroy their feelings. But. All your shady activities have yielded nothing, on the contrary, they have become more and more prominent in the eyes of the leaders and the masses. and even become a reserve cadre seedling. So you're lost and overwhelmed.
In fact, your problem is very easy to solve, as long as you really recognize the situation, conform to the social trend, correct your mentality, and put down the 'commander' shelf, you can take a step back and open the sky. You ask yourself, what did Master Qiao offend you about? I don't think so. He Bingbing doesn't look down on you, but you have always been sentimental. He Bingbing and Yu Xiaoying are the proud factory flowers of your machine tool factory. Director Lin said that all employees who have contributed to the machine tool factory are factory flowers and should be respected. I agree with this, I go to work in your factory, but also vigorously promote: the machine tool factory is full of spring, everywhere is the factory flowers. ”
Hong Zhendong realized. "You're right, my key point is that the 'commander' can't be put down, it's been ten years, and my mind is still in the era of 'heroes everywhere and being called commanders everywhere'!"
Xia Minglan hates that iron does not become steel. "How many times have I told you. Put down the shelf early and take the initiative early. Your act of instigating others to harm others has broken the law, but fortunately it is an attempt, otherwise no one can save you! ”
Hong Zhendong pondered: "I am also reflecting on myself, I shouldn't be so vicious to them. Say it in good conscience. Zhou Guoliang is a seed of infatuation, and it is not his fault that he is reluctant to give up his love for Yu Xiaoying. It's the people who beat the mandarin ducks who are at fault! ”
Xia Minglan diverted his words. "Isn't it a bit of a touch of affection and sympathy? There is still a difference between the two of us and theirs. You shouldn't be stubborn. Should be looking for one. ”
Hong Zhendong said: "Don't persuade me again, I have already said it." I won't look for anyone else in this life, if I want to look for it, I will find it a long time ago. Won't wait until now. ”
Xia Minglan sighed. "God played such a big joke on us! In the future, we will work in a factory, and our behavior will be more restrained. ”
Hong Zhendong nodded. "I know, I'll be careful."
Xia Minglan brought her words to the point: "I am looking for you today, mainly to let you express your high opinions, once the group company is listed, I will be riding on the back of a tiger and will not be able to get down." ”
Hong Zhendong was blunt. "I don't have a high opinion, and even if I did, it would be too late. I mean those four companies chose the wrong one, such as the mechanical repair factory in Xilin Township, what kind of enterprise is that? Tattered, insolvent, workers can't get their wages, they go to the factory director's house every day to make noise, the factory director has been hiding in the field for more than three months, this kind of enterprise can also engage in alliance? ”
Xia Minglan regretted it. "I know that I did something wrong in this matter, I made a hasty statement, made a hasty decision, dug a pit and jumped by myself, I am too immature, but unfortunately the raw rice has been cooked and cooked!"
Hong Zhendong further analyzed. "State-owned enterprises have a common problem: people are superfluous, and the ratio of front-line workers to second- and third-line personnel is out of balance. At present, the machine tool factory has good benefits, relying on good product sales and affordability. If the workers of the four factories come in, the contradiction will immediately become apparent. Once the sales situation changes, this problem will drag down the company even more. ”
Xia Minglan interrupted him. "I know what's wrong with the road, and what I want to ask is a solution to the contradiction."
Hong Zhendong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "There are still methods, but they must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and empty words are ineffective." ”
Xia Minglan smiled: "I'm relieved to have your words." After the establishment of the company, there is an urgent need for a team of self-motivated and innovative cadres, and you must have this ideological preparation. ”
Hong Zhendong said: "I have already said that I will obey you for the rest of my life!" Besides, I also need a chance to prove myself, although I haven't read as many books as Master Qiao, I will never lose to him! ”
Xia Minglan smiled sweetly. She received spiritual solace from her cousin, her depressed mood was soothed, and her mood was much lighter. She could see that her cousin's demeanor was much more cheerful, the gloomy knot between his eyebrows had disappeared, and his eyes had regained confidence.
Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong once again saw each other's love and concern for themselves in eye contact, which was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated over many years. They invariably thought that in the days to come, their hearts might be further harmonized, and they continued to deepen until they became one.
At this moment, the figure of Cheng Liren appeared in Xia Minglan's mind: wearing a police uniform, with a protruding chest and belly, and speaking with an official tone, her face immediately became gloomy.
In Xia Minglan's life trajectory, Cheng Liren is a nightmare.
Cheng Liren is also a classmate of Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong, who was only in junior high school that year, and Hong Zhendong rode the surging tide to become the commander of the Red Banner Corps of Sanjiang City. Xia Minglan followed her cousin to gallop across the field, and Cheng Liren stared at Xia Minglan without leaving. Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong are keen on the vigorous cause, and they are not in the mood for wind and snow. Cheng Liren came prepared, followed Xia Minglan tirelessly, and followed closely and then followed. At that time, Cheng Liren's father stood aside, and Hong Zhendong did not look at him differently. Superior policy: focus on performance. You can educate your children well and you also have the right to revolution.
Later, three things happened, and Hong Zhendong and Xia Minglan had to look at him differently.
On one occasion, the two factions were evenly matched, and there was a stalemate. Hong Zhendong asked Cheng Liren to send a letter to friendly troops, and it was very important to repeatedly explain the letter, and it must be delivered. As long as you follow the route he specified, nothing will go wrong. Cheng Liren patted his chest and said, wrapped around me, my husband said everything, and the horse is difficult to chase! Who knew that more than an hour had passed, and there was no news of Cheng Liren and the friendly troops. Hong Zhendong saw that there were more and more wounded, and even Xia Minglan's arm was injured. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to order a retreat.
Hong Zhendong was suspicious, and went to Cheng Liren with Xia Minglan to ask what happened. Who knew that he was lying on the bed and sleeping with his head covered. Seeing the two of them coming to the door, they cried out that their stomachs hurt so much that they couldn't move an inch. Hong Zhendong was so angry that he scolded: "Deserter! ”
Soon, Cheng Liren's father was "three combined" and entered the leadership team of the Great Alliance. Cheng Liren, who had been hiding at home for several months and did not go out, came to the joint headquarters vividly, and dangled in front of Hong Zhendong and Xia Minglan from time to time. They ignored him, but they didn't think of him as a person. Cheng Liren was not angry, and still accosted people with a smile. Some people played tricks on him, yelled at him, and instructed him to do this and that. Cheng Liren is obedient, as long as he can show his face in front of Xia Minglan, he is willing to do anything.
One day, Xia Minglan saw Cheng Liren and another student grabbing a person and beating him, who was bleeding from his nostrils and kept begging for mercy. Xia Minglan asked, why did you beat him? Cheng Liren has a heart: This son of a bitch, his father is an old rightist, he was arrested and taught a lesson, to see if he was still arrogant, he dared to be disrespectful! The man argued, "How dare I!" He called me, but I didn't hear me. Cheng Liren slapped Liao Xiaoli hard and scolded: You dare to talk back!
Later, Hong Zhendong and Xia Minglan responded to the great call and went to the mountains and countryside to receive re-education for poor and middle peasants. Cheng Liren followed behind them and said, where you go, I will go too! They signed up together, wrote blood books together, and made a lot of fun. On the day of departure, Cheng Liren's shadow was not seen. A few months later, Xia Minglan realized that his father had already arranged for him to work in the city, and he would only go to work after their group left, for fear of negative impact.
Xia Minglan was forced to marry Cheng Liren for the sake of her father Xia Yang's future. Xia Yang said, I know that Cheng Liren is unreliable, but his father is my top boss, and Cheng Liren's temperament is a copy of his father, you can imagine what his father will do to me if he doesn't agree to this family business. For the sake of this family, you can only be wronged a little, and it can be regarded as the first time in my life that your mother and I begged you!
In the first three months after marriage, Cheng Liren's performance was quite normal, but then something was wrong. He often excuses himself to be on duty and never returns home at night. Xia Minglan is also a weathered person, so she won't believe it easily, and soon discovered the mystery. She wanted to pierce the window paper and divorce him, but she couldn't bear it because of her father's relationship. Later, Cheng Liren stalked Ge Zeqi and Xia Minglan and threatened to exchange the candid photos for the director's throne.
Since then, Xia Minglan and Cheng Liren have been husband and wife to the outside world, and they are regarded as strangers at home, and the two sleep in separate rooms and have nothing to do with each other. At the beginning, Cheng Liren couldn't get through it, and occasionally told her false stories, and then never touched her again. When the two met, they were either cold or sarcastic, and their feelings reached a freezing point.
Xia Minglan looked at Hong Zhendong, saw that his face was ruddy, and a smile that only the two of them could have when they were alone appeared, and there was a continuous tenderness and sweetness in her heart, and at the same time there was a trace of melancholy: If they were not cousins, how good it would be!
