Gu Man pushed me, took the chopsticks and asked me, "What's wrong?" Whose phone. ”

I reacted and looked at Gu Man with some panic. Subconsciously said, "It's okay." ”

Gu Man hesitated, did not ask deeply, but buried himself in eating.

At night, I lay on the sofa tossing and turning, and my mind was full of Xia Wanyu and Zhang Ling, as well as my own situation. In addition to my own efforts, the biggest opportunity for me to have my current life is that I am lucky.

After knowing that Zhang Ling's children were born safely, I desperately hope to give them a stable home.

That kind of urgent desire makes me want to go back to Shanghai now and tell He Shao that Lao Tzu is not afraid of you.

I sat up from the couch and felt like I had nowhere to release my passion.

A pair of fists clenched and gurgling.

In the dark sky, the snowflakes are unusually large.

But I didn't feel the slightest cold, and I seemed to be back to the years when I was burning with passion for entrepreneurship.

I went to the bathroom, turned the shower into cold water, and let the cold water pour over me. After taking a cold shower, I feel truly calm. When I returned to the bedroom and found that Gu Man was already asleep on the bed, I walked to the desk, picked up the ballpoint pen and notebook on it, turned down the brightness of the lamp, and analyzed the position I was in with the simplest drawing method.

I didn't notice that Gu Man behind me opened his eyes and stared at my back in a daze.

Busy for half a night, looking at the gradually clear context map on the notebook. Racking my brain to think about what piece was missing that got me into such a predicament.

Slowly, I seemed to see the whole thing.

This is a fight between a dragon and a tiger, and I am neither the beard on the tiger's mouth nor the dragon's claws on the dragon's body.

Behind He Shao is a vicious descending tiger.

I stared at every name I had written down in my notebook, and gradually realized that in my mind's eye, there was a scene about this war without gunpowder. He Shao is a little tiger who has been brought out of the place from below, and I am an insect that can be slaughtered in this war without gunpowder, not even a lamb, and a person of the level of Huang Zilong can be called a lamb.

Suddenly understanding this, I took off my glasses on the bridge of my nose, picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea that had been cooled in one gulp, put down the pen in my hand, turned off the lamp and went back to bed. The drowsiness made me dazed as soon as I lay down, and I felt a warm and soft body appear in my arms, and I didn't think much about it, and fell asleep holding this body.

When I woke up the next day, I rubbed my eyes, touched the glasses at the bedside and put them on, and found that the room was empty, and there was a cup of brewed tea at the bedside. After getting up and wandering around the yard, he found that Gu Man was not there. She must have gone out, and I thought to myself about going back to my desk and sitting down to open my notebook.

After opening the notebook, I found that in the lower right corner of the things I wrote yesterday, there were four small characters written in Juanxiu: Goodbye, Gu Man!

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly touched my phone to call Gu Man.

Gu Man's voice came from the phone: Hello, I'm not here now, please leave a message after the drop.

I hesitated for a moment and left a message for Gu Man: "I'm Hao Ren, where did you go." ”

After waiting all morning, Gu Man didn't reply to me.

In the afternoon, Gu Ran called me. He told me that Gu Man flew back to Nanjing this morning, but instead of going home, he transferred directly to a plane to France at the airport. I was taken aback and shouted on the phone, "What? ”

Gu Ran laughed and said heartily: "You heard it right, Gu Man went to France." ”

I was a little confused, and asked stupidly, "Why did she go to France?" ”

Gu Ran was silent for a while, and then asked me, "What do you say?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly there was a little silence. Gu Man is a woman with a strong personality, she was forced to come to my company and was humiliated by me. Although I later asked her to be my secretary, I didn't use her like Wu Xinyu and them, and her character must be difficult to accept. But under the infection of my strong desires during that time, she was slowly and a little forced to brainwash, or it can be said to be a cult of personality.

Gu Ran said softly at this time: "Okay, don't think about it so much, you haven't done anything to my sister in the past few days, I feel that your buddy is worth befriending, Xiaoman went to France is my meaning, I asked her to go, if she follows you again, the whole person will be wasted." Women, how can they have so many dreams, just be gentle and frugal about yourself. ”

I chuckled a little and asked Gu Ran: "Have you been in contact with Gu Man for the past few days?" ”

Gu Ran smiled and was noncommittal.

I nodded and said, "Okay, since that's what you mean, then I won't think about it too much." When she gets a boyfriend, you must let me meet that kid, and I'll help check it. ”

Gu Ran laughed and said, "What, you still want to take care of my sister?" ”

", that's my sister too." I scolded him.

After saying a few more words, Gu Ran hung up the phone, I held the phone in my hand, and I always felt that something was wrong there. I don't know, at Nanjing Lukou Airport, Gu Man sat next to Gu Ran and listened to everything on the phone just now. After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran turned his head to look at Gu Man, touched her head lovingly, and said, "Don't think so much, go to France to live well." ”

Gu Man sat in place for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "How can I think too much, I have never thought about what it means, I just feel that a man like him is quite rare." ”

Gu Ran smiled with a cigarette in his hand.

After the security checkpoint, sitting alone in the waiting hall, Gu Man looked at the ticket he bought two months ago, tidied up the hair scattered on his sideburns, puffed out his cheeks and blew, hummed and said to himself: "Manman, you have to come on, people are still waiting to see your boyfriend." ”

In fact, I understand Gu Ran's thoughts, he just doesn't want Gu Man to fall deeper and deeper by my side, at the beginning he kept Gu Man by my side, just to prove that he was willing to cooperate with me, and now he has let Gu Man leave, there are two reasons. One is that he found that Gu Man has a bit of a personality cult for me, and the other is that my current situation is more dangerous, and if I can't reverse the tide of the battle, he will also prepare for it.

We can share weal and woe, but we must not be implicated in the water.

This is Gu Ran's rule of survival, very rational and cautious.

After Gu Man left, I was left alone in Zhang Xiaojun's house, I stayed in the room day and night and didn't go out, I was digging out all the clues together, I was looking forward to the moment when I regained everything I lost.

……

Two or three days later, news came from Zhao Yongxin's side that several leaders in the Energy Bureau were suspected of bribery and were taken away by relevant departments for shuanggui investigation. Only then did I understand that this time it was not He Shao who let go, but the big tiger behind He Shao who was letting go. And their purpose is to abandon these irrelevant departments and put all their energy on He Shao's side.

I felt a lot of pressure and I felt like I couldn't breathe.

During this time, I racked my brains and struggled, but in the end, no matter how powerful the earth snake was, it couldn't defeat the strong dragon in the sky. Hiding in Zhang Xiaojun's house, lying on a soft mattress, opening the window to enjoy the snowflakes falling in the sky, enjoying the cold of his loneliness. I suddenly laughed at myself, I felt like I was getting carried away by the blood two days ago, and now I am sober.

In the middle of the night, my phone to connect with my hometown rang.

When I took my phone, I found out that it was my father's number.

I quickly answered the phone, and my mother's voice came from the phone: "Hao Ren, your father is sick." ”

My heart tightened, and I couldn't think about it anymore and asked my mother, "Is it serious?" Where are you now? ”

Mother sighed and said: "In the hospital in the city, your father has been hospitalized for more than half a month, and he has not let you be informed. ”

"Good!" Inexplicably, I felt my eyes moisten a little.

I asked for a few more details, then hung up and packed up my things. At three o'clock in the morning, I came out of Zhang Xiaojun's house with my luggage, and there was goose feather snow in the sky, and it was another cold winter. I hailed a car on the side of the street and asked the driver to take me to find a place to rent a car, to run a long distance, the car is better.

The driver smiled playfully, took out his mobile phone and made two calls, and then started the car. A little over an hour later, the taxi arrived at a car rental company. A Toyota overlord parked in the parking lot, I paid the car and got out of the car, walked up and shook hands with the driver, agreed on the price of the rental car, and the Toyota overlord drove on the highway.

I thought it would be faster to take the highway, but I didn't expect that as soon as the car left Beijing, it encountered heavy snow, and all the cars were blocked on the road, forming a long queue. I hurriedly asked the driver to turn down from a high-speed exit and came to a small nearby city, where it snowed heavily, and the whole northern country was covered with snow for thousands of miles. After checking the weather conditions, the driver said that he could not run on this road and would freeze to death on the road.

I paid the driver for the car, rushed to the city's train station alone, and bought a ticket to Baoding, Hebei Province, from a scalper. After arriving in Baoding, Hebei, it was already the evening of the second day. I called my mother, who said that my father's condition was a bit serious and that the doctor had stopped her from being with him. I said I knew and hung up.

Heavy snow closed the roads, and all the roads were blocked from empty roads and railways. The scalpers took the opportunity to raise prices, and I spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy a hard seat ticket for the express train and set foot on the way back to my hometown. What bullshit dreams and ideals have nothing to do with me, I only have my father and mother in my heart now.
