Ge Zeqi complained to Ruan Mingzhu that the call was from Xia Minglan, and she wanted to ask him to help solve the temporary difficulties: the day after tomorrow is the day when the employees are paid, but the cash in the machine tool company's account is only enough to pay for water and electricity.

Ruan Mingzhu sighed: "The home of the machine tool company is really not good, the stall is too big, it is difficult for Xia Minglan!" ”

Ge Zeqi's gaze darkened, and his expression looked a little lonely. "At that time, the city's decision-making was not wrong, and it was a strong alliance and complementary advantages, but there was a deviation in the implementation process. The machine tool company took over the mess, and the burden of the township government was thrown off, but the company suffered a big loss. In the past two years, Xia Minglan has made great efforts to correct some deviations, but she is still in difficulty and unable to return to the sky. The reason why the machine tool company caused today's situation, I am mainly responsible, I am ashamed of the machine tool factory! ”

Ruan Mingzhu was puzzled. "I have also heard people talk about the inside story of the machine tool factory engaged in horizontal joint ventures and the establishment of a group company, and it is indeed a crooked monk who recites a good and decent scripture. But you can't put all the blame on you, right? ”

Ge Zeqi's face was flushed, probably because of the upsurge of wine! He let out a long sigh. "Let me tell you a heartfelt word, in fact, when I first entered the leadership of the municipal party committee, I had a strong interest in the machine tool factory. Historical experience tells me that there are many roads in front of everyone, and as the saying goes, all roads lead to Beijing, but the most risky and untakable is the road to politics! What do you say it is for? ”

Ge Zeqi raised his eyes and glanced at Ruan Mingzhu, and asked himself: "God knows, you know and I know!" The machine tool factory is one of the few star enterprises in Sanxian City in the past few years. I used to use him as one of my retreats. I've been to the machine tool factory more often than any other company, and I've been involved in a lot of things that shouldn't be asked.

Xia Minglan is highly recommended by me to be the leader of the machine tool company, in order to eliminate the company's hidden dangers through her efforts. Especially due to the damage caused to the machine tool company by my negligence. ”

Ruan Mingzhu was puzzled: "Regarding the horizontal union, I am also responsible, and I should not force my uncle's factory to the machine tool company." Other than that, what else have you done to be sorry for them? ”

Gozer was thoughtful. "I did three things that should not be done, horizontal union is one, you know the inside story, by the end of this year. I estimate that the additional burden caused to the machine tool company is not less than 100 million! Another is the issue of guarantees, 90 percent of the 50 million guarantee losses that the machine tool company has borne so far are led by me, and Director Lin did not agree to the guarantee at that time. But under pressure from me, I had to sign it. Is it okay to not listen to the government about state-owned assets? In the end, it ended up with a package of losses! The problem is that there is more than 100 million similar guarantees, like a hidden time bomb. Maybe it's going to explode when. This matter has always been a knot in my heart that I can't untie! ”

Gozeqi's face was gloomy and heavy, as if he was repenting of his previous mistakes. Ruan Mingzhu was surprised: in the past, he always showed people with a proud and light attitude, talked and laughed freely, and never revealed the secret emotions in his heart in front of his subordinates. What's wrong with him today, he actually took the initiative to reveal his shortcomings, this is the first time in the world! Could it be that people often say that "drinking and spitting out the truth" is like this? But what did he mean by telling me these things? Show him his trust in me? Or is it a cushion for those who are ready to meet Xia Minglan's loan requirements?

After being silent for a moment, Ge Zeqi told a story that shocked Ruan Mingzhu unusually much.

"The mistakes made against the machine tool company brought many difficulties to Xia Minglan. It makes me feel guilty all the time. But this kind of damage is shared by thousands of employees, and Xia Minglan does her best to minimize the loss. Her ability to do her job can still be recognized. But the third wrong thing I did made me regret it, like a big stone that kept pressing on my heart, and weighed me breathless!

Xiao Ruan may know something about Xia Minglan's family problems! She has a deep relationship with Hong Zhendong. However, the parents of both parties used the cousin relationship as an excuse to prevent their union. Later, there was the issue of Cheng Liren and Xia Minglan getting married first and then divorcing. ”

Ruan Mingzhu was surprised: "Does the combination of Xia Minglan and Cheng Liren have anything to do with you?" Could it be that he was their old man? ”

Gozeqi sighed: "If it were that simple, the problem is that I have made all kinds of decisions against my will from beginning to end based on my own interests. Hong Zhendong is not the biological flesh and blood of the Hong family, and I was the first to know about this matter, because I went to the orphanage with Hong Zhendong's father Hong Zhongda to go through the adoption procedures and swore to keep it a secret for him.

The reason why the parents of both sides were unanimously opposed to the union of the two of them was that in that turbulent era, the fathers of both sides each joined the opposing rebel organizations, and it was not surprising that under that special condition, a pair of children became the first victims. There are countless cases of fathers and sons turning against each other and husbands and wives becoming enemies, and some even 'kill relatives with righteousness', and it is not uncommon to send their dearest relatives to the guillotine! ”

Ruan Mingzhu groaned: "Extrapolating from time, Xia Minglan was already working in the Municipal Party Committee Office when she got married, as her supervisor, haven't you done positive work?" ”

Gozeqi sighed. "If I had done it then, I wouldn't have had a troubled conscience! Actually, I was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he promised Hong Zhendong's father that he would never reveal the secret of Hong Zhendong's life experience, and on the other hand, Cheng Liren's father was an old leader in the city, and he personally talked to me on the phone, asking me to do Xia Minglan's work and promote Cheng Liren's good deeds with Xia Minglan. What else can I do in this situation? ”

Nguyen Mingzhu was indignant. "You know that Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong are not cousins, so you can get married openly; Knowing that Cheng Liren is not a good bird, he is not suitable for Xia Minglan. But you still choose to sacrifice Xia Minglan's happiness, are you ashamed? ”

Gozeqi was stunned for a moment and continued to repent. It seems that the "wine jar" is worthy of its name, and drinking two bottles of liquor still does not affect his thinking. "Xiao Ruan has the intention of blaming me, I don't blame you. You are still young and may not be able to perceive the changes in the world, if you were born a few years earlier and experienced the terrible changes as I did, you would understand that this is the only option in desperation. Xia Minglan is destined not to be able to combine with Hong Zhendong, and she is also destined to marry into the Cheng family. Do you know what this is for? ”

Ge Zeqi asked and answered: "Hong Zhendong and Xia Minglan are both hot-blooded young people, and their parents are also down-to-earth and honest ordinary people. They are full of longing and fantasy about their lives. When they are inspired by a certain belief and do something that they think is great and noble, they inadvertently hurt other innocent and good people. The good people who are hurt will naturally rebel, so there are many senseless fights between the good guys and the good guys. This is the root of the tragedy of Xia Minglan and Hong Zhendong. As for the entanglement between Xia Minglan and Cheng Liren, I don't need to go into details! ”

In fact, the story between Xia Minglan, Hong Zhendong and Cheng Liren, Ruan Mingzhu knows better than Ge Zeqi. Even Cheng Liren used Ge Zeqi's handle on Xia Minglan's indecent refusal to coerce Ge Zeqi into submission was also known in detail from Peng Zichao's mouth.

Ruan Mingzhu was full of sympathy for Xia Minglan.

Since she entered the office of the Municipal Party Committee, she learned from her colleagues that Xia Minglan has a good reputation in the Municipal Party Committee, and it is unanimously recognized that she has strong work ability, sincerity, and humanity, and the most valuable thing is that she has no scandals. There are few female comrades in the Sanjiang Municipal Government Office, especially a beauty like her is a little red in the green bushes. People privately criticized Deputy Secretary Ge's private morality, but they never involved Xia Minglan.

However, Ruan Mingzhu realized from the words of some people that someone tried to smear her and link her with Ge Zeqi. Ruan Mingzhu once wanted to stay away from the land of right and wrong, Peng Zichao persuaded her to be patient, and finally arranged for her to work beside Ge Zeqi, realizing the first step in the plan, how could she give up easily? Ruan Mingzhu followed Ge Zeqi from the municipal party committee to the machinery import and export company according to the plan, and in the eyes of others, the relationship between them was extraordinary. Ruan Mingzhu laughed and laughed, and could only comfort herself with "the clear self-purifying", and the strange eyes of others were too lazy to answer.

Ruan Mingzhu believed that Xia Minglan once had sincere feelings for Hong Zhendong, but she did not approve of the combination of the two: Hong Zhendong is not worthy! Please imagine: not only do you have no guilt about the past things that have hurt others, but you will never forget it, nostalgia for the so-called dominance of the past, and fantasize about doing it again in a few years, is this kind of person who is obsessed with authority and status reliable? And the combination of Xia Minglan and Cheng Liren is a sequelae of that special era!

Gozer's role in the relationship between the three of them is not honorable, especially the sordid dealings he had with Cheng Liren, which is why Nguyen Mingzhu occasionally can't help but rebuke her immediate boss in a tone that is clearly inconsistent with her identity.

Ruan Mingzhu blamed herself for not being able to hold her breath, in case she aroused Ge Zeqi's suspicion and destroyed Peng Zichao's plan, it would be a big trouble! Fortunately, Ge Zeqi had other intentions for Ruan Mingzhu and did not care about these details; Maybe it's because she thinks she's pampered and arrogant, which is another cute performance that doesn't make a fuss.

Ruan Mingzhu was thinking about what it meant for Ge Zeqi to confide in her without hesitation, but Ge Zeqi suddenly stared at her and said something that made her not know how to respond. "Your time with me is not short, and I should be very clear about what I am most concerned about, and today I want to hear from you the truth: do you mind that I am twenty years older than you, and if you don't mind, today is the day I officially propose to you! This sentence has been in my heart for a long time, and after careful consideration, I confirm that only you are the most reliable life partner for the rest of my life. I don't force you to reply immediately, you can think about it for a few days, and I think you will definitely give me a satisfactory answer! (To be continued......)

PS: I went out for a few days and couldn't visit my friends, so I'll make up for it later. Thank you for your support!
