Chapter 149: Chasing the Wind and Shadows
Shuyan smiled faintly: "It's Sincere Company." Ouyang passed by there yesterday and saw that there was a discount inside, so he bought it. Hongda, I heard that your wife is here, and you just took her there to buy something, and there are a lot of discounted products there recently. ”
"She's a country woman, and she doesn't need to be so showy, but, Shuxian, the discounted goods are still somewhat flawed, either outdated, or the quality of the goods themselves is problematic. Next time I'll buy you the most fashionable authentic product. ”
Zhu Hongda didn't care about the discounted goods that Ouyang Rui bought, and deliberately showed off his economic strength in front of his sweetheart.
As soon as Shuyan heard Zhu Hongda's tone, she knew that he was competing with Yulin.
"In the end, it is the boss of the Secret Bureau, he has a lot of money, and his tone is different, this silk scarf cost our Ouyang half a month's salary, how can a rich man's spending a lot of money be compared with a piece of ocean poured out by a poor boy?" Shuyan is disgusted with Zhu Hongda's showing off in front of her.
"Oh? Your Ouyang is really out of the way this time. Do you have to tighten your belt this month? Zhu Hongda's rhetoric was full of ridicule of Ouyang Rui's stretched economic situation.
"Yesterday was our 10th wedding anniversary, and of course he wants to say it." Shuyan ignored Zhu Hongda's sarcasm, and her face was full of happiness.
"No wonder, I saw you playing music yesterday, hugging each other and dancing a candlelight ballroom dance, but I didn't expect Ouyang Rui to be quite romantic." Zhu Hongda's tone was jealous.
"That is, didn't he come to Aurora with a big bouquet of roses in his hand to propose to me? This man is quite romantic in his bones. Shuyan deliberately brought up the old matter in front of Zhu Hongda, wanting to see his reaction.
"So, you're glue like paint again, and you won't break the mirror anymore?" There was obviously some jealousy in Zhu Hongda's words.
As soon as Shuyan heard this, she roughly knew that Zhu Hongda had been monitoring them: "What kind of shoes are broken, my relationship with Ouyang has always been good, it's good, don't be blind." ”
Shuyan strenuously denied it, she knew that the more she showed her close relationship with Yulin in front of Zhu Hongda, the more it would cause Zhu Hongda's backlash.
"Don't think I don't know, you guys have long been out of tune, otherwise it wouldn't be night...... Right? Shuxian, don't be bought by Ouyang's Xiaoen Xiaohui. Shuxian, I know your current situation, you are hesitant now, Ouyang is like a chicken rib, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it, after all, he is your first love, you were born to be a step-by-step, well-behaved person, always think that it is a virtue from the beginning, even if the marriage hits the rocks, I don't want to change, I think this is the way of guarding women, Shuxian, it is now the thirty-sixth year of the Republic of China, the feudal dynasty has long ended, you are a person with knowledge, culture, and connotation, why can't you learn from Nala, What about taking this step? ”
Zhu Hongda hopes that Shuxian can wake up, get rid of Ouyang Rui, fight for freedom, and throw herself into her arms.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of marriage hit the rocks, and let me learn Nala to run away? Shuyan was a little angry: "Don't be wishful thinking, you are not a fish, and you know the joy of fish." Don't think you know me and make decisions for me, okay? ”
"Okay, well, I'm self-inflicted, salty and don't worry about eating radish." Zhu Hongda was robbed by Shuyan, and he was very unhappy.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that." Shuyan saw that Zhu Hongda was a little angry, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Hongda, I think it's better to keep a little distance between us, recently I found out that Director Tan is secretly staring at me." ”
"Really? Do you notice that he is always staring at you? ”
"I can't tell you clearly, I didn't have much contact with Director Tan before, but now I find that he always looks at me with slanted eyes, sometimes like making excuses, he comes to our confidential room, and I sit for a long time, I always feel that he is looking at me from behind, which makes me very uncomfortable." Shuyan hopes to use Zhu Hongda's hand to keep Tan Jingting away from her surveillance.
"Okay, I know, Shuxian, don't be too sensitive, Director Tan is screening in secret, this is the task I gave him, not only for you, but also for others." Zhu Hongda hurriedly explained to Shuyan.
"Why do you want to do screening? Is it suspicious of us? Shuyan's eyes widened and she questioned Zhu Hongda.
"Internal procedures, don't worry, I'll take care of him." Zhu Hongda said lightly.
Shuyan smiled at Zhu Hongda: "Hongda, I really can't do without your umbrella." ”
After Shuyeon finished speaking, she walked out.
Shuyan's last sentence seemed to boost Zhu Hongda's confidence: Shuxian has regarded herself as an umbrella, and now she is an umbrella at work, and maybe she can become an umbrella in her life in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Hongda's frustration just now disappeared. He picked up the wine jug again, looked left and right, couldn't put it down, and then he took out a set of carving knives from the desk, don't look at Zhu Hongda now dealing with guns every day, in college, he is called an old master by everyone, not only has a good foundation in literature and history, but also writes a beautiful small seal, and in his spare time, he also carves seals for everyone. After arriving at Shanghai Station, Zhu Hongda carved a few stamps and gave them to Yu Peiliang, so he won Yu Peiliang's favor.
Zhu Hongda picked up a carving knife, carefully used a small seal at the bottom of the pot to write the eight words "Hongda souvenir, Shuxian gift", and then enjoyed it.
Zhu Hongda's original partner Wang has been living in a small western-style building for several months, and someone is waiting for him every day, living a life of fine clothes and food that he has never thought of in his life, but he can't see Zhu Hongda's face, and he calls the office, and he is sent away in a few words. Wang's heart went up and down, and he always felt that there was a woman outside Zhu Hongda. As a result, she often wandered around the Secret Bureau and asked some colleagues about Zhu Hongda's situation. Sure enough, the rumors reached her ears, and she knew that Zhu Hongda had an outside heart, and that woman, she had also seen it from afar, and compared with her, she really felt ashamed of herself.
Wang inquired clearly, Zhu Hongda and Miss Xu are now living at No. 18 Jixiangli. So, Wang took Zong'er to find Jixiangli, she was guarding there, and before six o'clock, she saw Shuyan coming back from work. So, Wang pulled Zong'er and ran to Shuyan.
"I'm sorry, are you Miss Xu?" Wang asked cautiously.
Sook-yeon nodded.
Wang pulled Zong'er and suddenly knelt in front of Shuyan.
"Please Miss Xu be merciful, let go of our family's Hongda, our mother and wife have been guarding for him for eight years in the countryside of Zhejiang, I am alone with his children, and he is filial piety to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, serving day and night, and finally looking forward to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I originally thought that our couple could be reunited, but Hongda has not been at home, I know that he must be someone outside. We implore Miss Xu to raise your noble hand and reunite our family. ”
Wang knelt at the entrance of the alley, surrounded by neighbors and passers-by on the third floor and the outer three floors, everyone had sympathy for Wang, pointing at Shuyan, Shuyan felt that she was speechless, her face was flushed, but she was powerless to argue for herself.
At this moment, Zhu Hongda's special car arrived, Zhu Hongda got out of the car, and saw that the entrance of the alley was full of people, and it was crowded, and he wanted to squeeze through the crowd and go to the alley.
Suddenly, he saw Xu Shuxian surrounded in the crowd, others pointed at her, and hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked in, what made him even more embarrassed was that he actually saw Wang and Zong'er kneeling in front of Shuxian, crying.
When Zhu Hongda saw this, he immediately became angry and yelled at Wang: "You go back for me, don't fucking embarrass me here." ”
Zhu Hongda dragged Wang up from the ground and pulled her to the entrance of the alley, fortunately, the Buick car had not driven away, Zhu Hongda stuffed Wang and Zong'er into the car, and then got into the car himself, and instructed the driver Master Yang to drive to the small western-style building.
Everyone looked at the dust raised behind the car, shouted and scolded Chen Shimei, and threw stones at the back of the car. Then the crowd gradually dispersed, and only Shuyan was left standing there dumbfounded, motionless, until Yulin came home from work and saw her standing at the entrance of the alley in a trance, and then pulled her into the west wing of No. 18, Shuyan came back to her senses, and then threw herself on the table, crying profusely.
"Shuyan, don't cry, come and wipe your face." Yu Lin handed the towel to Shuyan, he had already learned the whole story from Mrs. Du, Mrs. Xue and other neighbors, so he began to persuade Shuyan: "Shuyan, don't take this matter too seriously, from another point of view, this is a good thing." ”
"A good thing? I'm bloody, or is it a good thing? Growing up, I had never been so humiliated. So-yeon's face was filled with tears.
"Shuyan, in our line of work, there are many grievances that can only be borne by yourself, others don't understand you, and you are not allowed to let others understand you, once everyone understands you, what other pretense do you have? Therefore, this kind of grievance can only be borne by oneself, as long as you understand your own intentions and have a clear conscience. ”
Yulin sat down next to Shuyan and comforted her: "Why do I say this is also a good thing? First of all, you see, Zhu Hongda didn't live in the East Wing today, which is a lot less dangerous for us, isn't it? ”
Shuyan raised her head and listened to Yulin's analysis.
"Secondly, Zhu Hongda has always thought about you, his wife is so troublesome, he will naturally restrain a little and dare not blatantly harass you, which is beneficial to your work, if he stares at you all day long, you will have no chance to collect useful information. Maybe his wife is making a fuss, maybe Zhu Hongda won't live in Jixiang, you say, isn't this a good thing for us? ”
Shuyan was much relieved when she heard Yulin say this.
"Okay, Shuyan, we don't need to talk about it today, isn't this just thanks to Zhu Hongda's wife? Being able to talk properly is sometimes a gift for us. Yu Lin saw that Shuyan had turned a corner, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Shuyan, did you buy the curtains today?" ”
"Bought it, I'll put it on the couch."
"Then I'll hang up the curtains."
Yulin hung up the thick curtains that Shuyan bought, the curtains were really thick, and after they were closed, the room was basically opaque.
"Now you can block Zhu Hongda's thief eyes."
"Oh, Yulin, today I heard Zhu Hongda say that Shanghai Station is secretly screening, and Tan Jingting is in charge of this matter." Shuyan reported the situation to Yulin.
"Tan Jingting suspects that you have a spy inside, of course you have to screen it. That's the area of responsibility of his intelligence chief. Yu Lin didn't think there was anything strange about this matter.
"I have already told Zhu Hongda about this, and Zhu Hongda said that he would explain to Tan Jingting, so that he should not stare at me like this." Shuyan felt that she could use Zhu Hongda's hand to restrain Tan Jingting's investigation of herself.
Yu Lin smiled: "I estimate that Zhu Hongda's words are equivalent to saying in vain, don't be blindly optimistic, even if Tan Jingting agrees on the surface and gives Zhu Hongda a face, but he will definitely disobey the yang and yin, and he will not relax his surveillance of you in private, so, Shuyan, don't relax your vigilance against Tan Jingting." ”
"Why are you so sure that Tan Jingting still refuses to relax his surveillance on me?" Shuyan felt that Yu Lin was too pessimistic and underestimated Zhu Hongda's role in Tan Jingting.
"Zhu Hongda was drunk that day, didn't he say it, Tan Jingting is his favorite and most hated person? This shows that Tan Jingting didn't buy Zhu Hongda's account at all, and don't forget, when Shuxian entered Tonghai Station, it was guaranteed by Zhu Hongda, and there was basically no review of Shuxian above, and since Yu Peiliang's crash, Zhu Hongda has changed Shuxian from a supernumerary to a regular one without authorization. Therefore, Tan Jingting should not let you go easily this time. Yulin gave Shuyan his analysis.
