(Read more)
Li Hongjie's mood was even more complicated and tangled, she knew very well that she couldn't leave Tang Lin at all now, but she knew even more that she couldn't get too close to Tang Lin now.
She knew Tang Lin's thoughts, but the better Tang Lin treated her, the more pressure she felt, it was not that she didn't want Tang Lin to be good to her, but in this situation, Tang Lin ignored the gossip and her own future to comfort her and care about her, she felt inferior and felt that she was committing a crime.
In today's society, which officialdom man doesn't want to climb up, doesn't want to rise to the top and get rich?
"I've been thinking about these things for a long time, you don't have to worry about me, let's think about yourself, others think that you are young and old and do nothing quietly, mature and steady, but you, in fact, are still the temper of the army, it's just that you don't like to talk, but in the officialdom, you can't take out the straight temper of the army, you have to learn to be hypocritical, learn to act, learn to deceive, you can't do it now. Just now I went downstairs and saw the public warning and punishment for you posted on the display board on the first floor, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the main reason for this is not you at all, but the female mayor must only punish you for one ......"
"You have to pay attention to this kind of thing in the future, this time it's a small matter, a computer is just over-standard, and you take the initiative to write and check it, but what if it is replaced by something else? Now all kinds of rumors about you and the female mayor have not stopped, and now there are more rumors about you and Huang Doudou, yes, you went out with the old man this time, and some people no longer dare to touch you, but they only dare not touch you for the time being. If you continue to be constantly seized by others like this, do you know that the old man of the Huang family hates the most is people who are greedy for pleasure and restless work...... And today, you just meet me and say hello, it's not deliberately estranged, you have to chase it all the way out, I'm afraid there are new rumors now, saying that you are stepping on three boats, saying that as long as you are a woman with power, money and power, you will run behind your ass......"
It is not easy for Li Hongjie to say such things at this time, at least Tang Lin did not treat her well in vain, she is not thinking about herself at all, but Tang Lin.
Tang Lin just wanted to speak but was stopped by Li Hongjie raising his hand, "Shh, listen to me, I haven't been able to let go all along, in fact, whether it's revenge or restoring that person's reputation, it doesn't necessarily have to be in the city government, for so many years, my parents have been telling me that if they help, I'd rather go bankrupt than get the surname Zhou, but I can't affect them anymore, I really can't, I've brought them too much pain, people and families are happy, rich and not rich can be happy every day, But because they have endured so much, they have to worry about my safety all the time......"
"So from the first day I entered the city hall, I made a three-chapter agreement with them, and I will take care of that person's affairs alone, and if they participate, I will immediately die to show them. Alas...... Tang Lin...... At that time, I only thought that I was sad alone, that I was in pain alone, and I didn't think about their feelings at all. How can it be okay? Zhongzhou City, which originally had half of the market share of the real estate business, was ...... I had to quit all of them within a year, although he later lost his horse and knew that he was not blessed, and he invested in a high-end villa area in Guinan, but I still felt very uncomfortable......"
Fortunately, there are not many Pizza Win customers at the moment, and they sit in the most corner of the room in order not to be eye-catching, except for the occasional waiter passing by no one at all, otherwise the partition wall has ears, this is not far from the city government, and the city government people often come to eat pizza.
Tang Lin had already secretly observed the environment, so he was relieved to let Li Hongjie continue, he didn't expect that today's accidental actions would allow Li Hongjie to say these words that he had held in his heart for many years.
He has never been able to persuade people, but he is an excellent listener, he is a master of psychology, he knows that people's feelings and savings must be vented or poured out when a certain time and savings are reached, otherwise people's spirits will enter a sub-healthy state, and even a great change in temperament and finally drive themselves crazy.
When he came to the city government, Li Hongjie had already changed from a big change in temperament to a crazy development, and she would collapse after she lasted long, but Tang Lin came, and everything changed.
But everything is dialectical, Tang Lin saved Li Hongjie who was on the verge of collapse, including that one-night passion is actually the best outlet for Li Hongjie, a safe and effective venting channel. She began to change, began to intervene to show her true face, and began to gradually accept reality, but another cruel reality is that she has developed a strict psychological dependence on Tang Lin, and this psychological dependence cannot be changed or replaced by anyone even for a long time in the future.
So Tang Lin didn't leave that night and didn't ask for her hot body anymore, he struggled to carefully protect the poor infatuated woman in front of him in a small space.
Li Hongjie didn't shed tears, she said more calmly, she really began to gradually accept the facts in her heart, "So Tang Lin, I'...... I've ruined a lot of people, I can't ruin you anymore, I'm ...... I won't be coming to work tomorrow, so you'll have to take care of yourself in the future...... I know you're busy...... You don't have to come and see me...... I'm really fine, I'm a 30-year-old woman in the New Year, hehe, what's so scary about a 30-year-old widow? What's more, I have money, I can go wherever I want, Europe, I don't like Europe, I want to go to New Zealand......"
Li Hongjie lowered her head and made the most difficult, one that surprised Tang Lin while stirring the coffee in front of her with a small spoon. But Tang Lin was not surprised at all, but smiled, raised his hand and pressed Li Hongjie's right hand that kept stirring because of tension, contradiction and excitement.
"Hehe, Li Hongjie, do you live for yourself for a minute in your life?"
Tang Lin suddenly asked a strange-looking question, and Li Hongjie raised her head in confusion, "What?" Tang Lin repeated the question very seriously.
Li Hongjie's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if she was thinking desperately, and seemed to be completely confused about herself for a moment. Yes, she's 30 years old, but what minute is she living for herself?
"People...... You can't always live for yourself...... Wouldn't that be too selfish? Li Hongjie's voice was like a cloud floating in the air that would never have roots.
Emptiness, contradictions, and powerlessness.
Tang Lin's big hand still tightly covered Li Hongjie's right hand, the strange thing was that her hand was not cold, not as often cold as the female mayor, her hand was warm, but it was full of sweat.
"You can't be so selfish, but you have to live for yourself at least half the time, right? You don't really want to emigrate at all, you're still thinking about revenge, and you're even ready to solve it in the most extreme way, can I ask what it is? ”
Tang Lin said and took out a white medicine bag from his coat pocket, Li Hongjie immediately panicked when she saw it, and subconsciously raised her hand to grab it, but Tang Lin immediately quickly reloaded it back.
"Live for yourself for 1 year, just 1 year, okay? It's a bet with me, if you still think that your life is just revenge, then whatever means you take, and then you take poison and kill yourself, I won't care anymore, okay? ”
Li Hongjie burst into tears again, but only tears did not cry, such crying was more painful and heartbreaking, but Tang Lin sat so quietly, watching her cry quietly, and didn't even hand over the handkerchief.
What's more, then he got up and left directly, without saying goodbye to the woman who was heartbroken.
