Xu Haodong's face was tense, and Chen Hui was a little flustered, after all, he didn't understand Xu Haodong's temperament, so he didn't know where to start.

Zeng Lan didn't dare to say anything, what about the returnees, they were the most eloquent, and they couldn't tell the bad things.

Finally, Chen Hui said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Haodong, it seems that my aunt has already reported to you." ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said solemnly: "Chen Hui, do you know who I hate the most?" I hate liars the most. There is probably no one in this world who does not lie, but the person who lies on major issues of right and wrong, I Xu Haodong looks down on the most. ”

"Haodong, I'm sorry......" Chen Hui's face was very ugly, and what he wanted to say was choked back.

Zeng Lan had to speak, "Secretary Xu, you may not know the truth very well, Chen Hui did lie, but ...... But Chen Hui and I really love each other, and we are serious. ”

Xu Haodong asked coldly: "Is immoral love higher than legal marriage?" ”

Zeng Lan said: "It should be said that a marriage without love can be ended. ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "Isn't Chen Hui and Xu Qing's marriage based on love?" ”

Zeng Lan said: "No. ”

Xu Haodong stared at Chen Hui, "You say, tell the truth." ”

Chen Hui said: "Haodong, we used to have it, but then we didn't. ”

"That's a light way to say." Xu Haodong pursed his lips contemptuously, "Does Xu Qing know?" ”

"I don't know yet." Chen Hui hesitated, "However, she should feel something." ”

Xu Haodong suppressed the fire in his heart, drank a few sips of water, and no longer stared at Chen Hui, "Let's talk about it, tell me about your plan." ”

"Haodong ......"

Xu Haodong waved his hand again, his face expressionless, "Say it directly." ”

Chen Hui's face was ashamed and speechless.

Zeng Lan spoke in time to relieve Chen Hui, "Secretary Xu, can I speak for Chen Hui?" ”

"Yes." Xu Haodong nodded.

"Secretary Xu, Chen Hui plans to do so, first arrange Xu Qing's mother and daughter in your Yunling City, and after Chen Hui's work stabilizes, Chen Hui will talk to Xu Qing about divorce. As for the matter between me and Chen Hui, we are not in a hurry, we will wait until Xu Qing accepts the reality before getting married. In addition, as compensation, I will give Xu Qing a sum of money, please rest assured, this money is clean, I earned it part-time while studying in the United States......"

Xu Haodong asked: "Are you sure that Xu Qing can accept the reality you are talking about?" ”

Zeng Lan nodded and said, "I think, everyone is a modern person, Xu Qing will accept it." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Ms. Zeng, it is very immoral for you to do this. ”

Zeng Lan did not shy away from it, "Yes, but the original sin is not mine, it is Chen Hui." When we first met, Chen Hui didn't tell me that he was married, and when we got along, he told me, but I couldn't do without him. ”

"Original sin?" Xu Haodong sneered and looked at Chen Hui again, "Since it is the original sin, then you can't see the sun, and you should hide in the dark." But it's better for you to let me know that you want to drag me into the water? ”

Chen Hui hurriedly said: "Haodong, don't get me wrong, I never meant that. ”

Xu Haodong said: "I am a very serious person about marriage, and I despise you very, very much. If I were an ordinary person, maybe I would open one eye and close one eye. But don't forget, in addition to being the secretary of the Yunling Municipal Party Committee, I am also the deputy secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, theoretically speaking, I happen to be in charge of you. The organization has clear regulations that leading cadres have no selfish affairs and no trivial matters, private affairs and small matters are also official affairs, and major and small affairs must be reported, Chen Hui, don't you think you are playing with fire? ”

Chen Hui was speechless.

Zeng Lan defended Chen Hui, "Secretary Xu, I don't dare to agree with your statement. Party discipline is stricter than national law, I understand this, marriage and divorce must be reported, and I know it. But now Chen Hui is not divorced or married, but there is a crisis in his marriage, which seems to need no report. ”

Xu Haodong said: "However, he has an extramarital affair with you. ”

Zeng Lan smiled and asked, "Secretary Xu, do you have any evidence?" ”

The question of studying in the United States for a doctor of law suddenly made Xu Haodong stammer, yes, he had no evidence, and Chen Hui admitted verbally and did not count. The recording is useless, this is an illegal recording, and he Xu Haodong can be used as evidence to prove his innocence, but it cannot be used as evidence against Chen Hui.

Zeng Lan said seriously: "Secretary Xu, I solemnly explain to you now that Chen Hui and I love each other, but we are only friends now, pure friends. ”

This girl is not simple, Xu Haodong smiled, and then asked Chen Hui, "What do you say?" ”

Chen Hui's inspiration also came up, "Zeng Lan is right, I am just friends with her. Just like the relationship between you Xu Haodong and Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru is your confidante, but it does not prevent you from being an excellent leader, because there are several female friends who do not violate discipline. ”

"Okay, get over that." Xu Haodong asked, "Why do you want me to know the next question?" ”

Chen Hui said: "There are two reasons, one is that the paper can't hold the fire, there are already discussions in the provincial capital, and it is inevitable that there will be discussions in Haizhou, so I have to stop people's mouths." The second is that the paper can wrap the fire, and if something goes wrong in the future, at least you can prove it for me. ”

The second point made Xu Haodong angry, "Chen Hui, you talk like this, it means that you don't know me too well." If you have a problem in the future, even if I am punished for not reporting it, I will not prove it for you. ”

Chen Hui was silent for a while, "Xu Haodong is Xu Haodong." ”

Xu Haodong said: "This is my bottom line. ”

Chen Hui said: "The next question is Xu Qing's work arrangement. ”

Xu Haodong said: "This is not a problem, demobilized military cadres, professional talents, it is very convenient to arrange, your aunt Chen Hui has the right to arrange, no need to look for me." ”

Chen Hui said: "When I divorce in the future, I hope you can help me persuade Xu Qing." ”

Xu Haodong said: "I'm afraid this is difficult to obey, I'd rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage, I don't do this kind of thing." ”

Zeng Lan said: "Secretary Xu, you are too feudal." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Ms. Zeng, this is not feudalism, this is tradition, and it is the accumulation of thousands of years of Chinese culture. ”

Zeng Lan said: "This is also one of the reasons why the West looks down on China, I didn't expect that such an avant-garde official as you would have such an outdated concept in your head." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Ms. Zeng, if you discuss with me with Western standards, then you will not be able to proceed. You returnees can accept Western concepts, but as long as you work and live on Chinese soil, in addition to abiding by Chinese laws, you must also respect Chinese cultural traditions, which is the basic criterion for doing things, and it is also the core criterion for life. ”

Afraid of quarreling, Chen Hui spoke again in time, "Haodong, as a friend, you won't stand in my way, right?" ”

Xu Haodong smiled, "You can rest assured of this, I'm not a pure person, and I can't do anything that stands in my way." But I am also a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, not to mention that I am the deputy secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, if you go too far and you step on the red line, I will not remain silent. ”

Chen Hui nodded, "Haodong, I remember what you said. ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, Zeng Lan said: "Secretary Xu, I suggest that we change the topic lightly. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Yes, I have a rare face-to-face interview with Chen Hui, but I really can't think of any other easy topics." ”

Zeng Lan smiled and said, "For example, I heard my father mention the upgrading of Yunling City to a prefecture-level city, and he thought it was an ambitious plan. ”

Xu Haodong was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that it was finally here, okay, and finally moved out Zeng Xianren, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
