His left hand taps lightly on the outside of his thigh, a movement he is accustomed to.
"Sister Li?" He exclaimed in surprise.
Li Hongjie smiled and raised her hand to take off her baseball cap and big sunglasses, "What, is it so ugly that you can't recognize it without makeup?" ”
Tang Lin lowered his head, took a deep breath, raised his head again, and looked directly at the rich beauty in front of him.
"Sister Li, you're scared of me, you're ......"
Li Hongjie generously raised her hand and pulled his arm, "What is this, no matter how ugly you are, you can bear with it, get in the car first, don't you want to invite me to dinner?" ”
Tang Lin was dragged into the co-pilot of BMW Z4 in a daze, and then Li Hongjie slid out lightly with a foot on the accelerator small sports car, "I want to eat hot pot today, it's autumn, I want to eat hot pot at this time of year, go to the seafood hot pot in People's Square!" ”
Tang Lin nodded subconsciously, "Cheng, Sister Li, you will ......"
Then Tang Lin stopped talking, but looked intently at the street outside the car window and the people off work, Li Hongjie opened the CD casually, and Faye Wong and Eason Chan's "Because of Love" immediately came out of it.
Gives you a CD from the past
Listen to our love at that time
Sometimes I suddenly forget that I am still in love with you
I can't sing a song like that anymore
When you hear it, you will blush and dodge
I often forget that I still love you
Because love is not light and sad
So a qiē is the appearance of happiness
Because love grows simply
Still ready to go crazy for you
Because how can love have vicissitudes
So we're still young
Li Hongjie, who was listening to the car, cried, and there were two lines of crystal tears on her fair face, Tang Lin did not open his mouth to persuade him, but casually handed over the tissues in the paper drawer at hand one by one.
When Li Hongjie finished crying and the seafood hot pot arrived, the two got out of the car, Li Hongjie had put on a baseball cap again to cover most of her face, and she seemed very reluctant to let outsiders see her original appearance.
It turned out that Li Hongjie had already booked a window seat on the third floor, just enough to watch the street scene outside and people coming and going while eating.
Tang Lin is not familiar with this place, he has never eaten in a restaurant since he arrived in Zhongzhou, so all of them are done by Li Hongjie, Tang Lin casually glanced at the price, the consumption is okay, and the consumption of the two is only 300 yuan, which is relatively generous in the inland seafood hot pot.
Then Li Hongjie sat opposite and looked at him quietly, "Tang Lin, aren't you curious?" If someone else is talking about it for a long time, it won't stop asking. ”
Tang Lin smiled, "Why aren't you curious, those who are curious are going to die, but those are your private affairs, I'm a big man who can't ask and shouldn't ask, but I feel that it's okay to cry, and I feel happy and detoxify by the way......"
Li Hongjie glanced at him meaningfully, "I still detoxify, I've never seen a man like you, you don't know how to persuade people crying, you will hand over tissues next to you like a fool!" ”
Tang Lin looked out the window with a side face, he was a little afraid to bear Li Hongjie's gaze that suddenly became ** again, this woman seems to have a special magic, she can cry at any time, laugh at any time, and cover her true face at any time, but the more she covers it, the more seductive it is, the more it makes men want to stop.
"I don't have much experience with women, and the conditions at home are not very good since I was a child, and I don't have the spare money to pick up girls or something. Later, I went to a military academy and joined the army, so I had fewer opportunities to contact women......"
Li Hongjie suddenly reached over and grabbed one of his hands, her hand was white and slender and well maintained, but it was very cold and cold, as if there was no temperature of a living person.
Tang Lin was taken aback by her sudden approach, and it was rude to want to pull it back, so he could only endure it with a heartbeat.
Li Hongjie's cold little hand began to scribble back and forth on the palm of his hand, "Well, the best high-achieving student of the Jingnan Army Command College in Huaxia Country, the ace sniper of the world's top ten Southwest Falcon Special Brigade, but he suddenly left the army and came here to work as a laborer and was picked up by the female mayor as a driver, hehe." You're fascinated by this experience as a woman......"
Tang Lin was shocked, how could Li Hongjie know everything! But then he settled down, in fact, this matter is very simple, the resume he handed over to Guo Ting is very simple, only the school he graduated from and the army he once served, although his sudden departure from the army is very unconventional, but his personnel file is blank and he is discharged normally, without any good evaluation or any bad notes.
That's the only thing the falcon does to him!
But Li Hongjie's cold little hand tickled his heart, and even the nuclear weapons below had already reacted strongly, if it weren't for the table blocking the embarrassment, he would have lost his hair.
Fortunately, the waiter brought the bottom pot at this time, and it was covered with bright red peppers. Li Hongjie quickly withdrew her cold little hand.
"Ahem, Sister Li, are you from Xindu?" Tang Lin asked suddenly, because after recalling a little, although Li Hongjie spoke northern Mandarin, the tail note and tone of the words still had the taste of Xindu. And the big pot of red chili peppers in front of me is a direct example, Xindu women can eat chili peppers, and they can't do it without a meal, especially if they eat seafood hot pot and put so many chili peppers, they must be Xindu girls who are not afraid of spicy by nature.
"It's a shame that you still worked as a special soldier in Xindu, so you can see it?" Li Hongjie immediately affirmed his doubt. Tang Lin suddenly felt that the woman opposite was very close, and he had an urge to develop further.
He inevitably remembered his sad expulsion experience, although it had only been a week, but he seemed to have passed a full ten years, and the resentment and grievances in his heart for ten years still could not be calmed.
The two began to chat while eating, but in fact, it was more Li Hongjie who said that Tang Lin listened.
"My husband's name is Zhou Qirui, and he is a college classmate with me, and his father is a leader in the province, so he should have graduated and entered the civil service examination into the Zhongzhou Municipal Government, and soon became the deputy director of the office, but his father was investigated for some things, and he was also transferred to the countryside for temporary training......"
"He is not in good health, but he is stubborn, he can't get used to anything uneven, he has to take care of it, there is a reservoir in Shuitang Township where he is on temporary duty is in disrepair, he has been running back and forth to find the water conservancy bureau to find the relevant leaders of the city, it was the year before the big flood peak that year, but all the procedures and funding conditions are met, because his father is still under review, so no one cares about it and no one approves it, he can only take the locals to temporarily strengthen the embankment with sand cement stones, If the dam fails, the houses and lives of more than 50,000 people downstream will be greatly threatened......"
"Finally...... The Great Flood Peak is coming...... He...... He held out on the dam for seven days and seven nights, but in the end it collapsed, and he passed out and was rescued, but he died within a few days of being ill. The leaders above not only did not treat him as a hero and give him the title he deserved, but also ...... and imposed the blame for the dam failure on him, because his father was already in prison at that time......"
"I ...... I made a fuss about the municipal party committee and the municipal government for three months, and finally they agreed to my request, let me work as a cleaner, and gave me a ...... Scold...... My dad is a real estate businessman, and our family is not short of money, but I just want to be a cleaner, just to make them see me every day, to make them sick, to make them sleep......"
"They didn't dare to touch me for so many years, they always thought that I had some materials in my hands...... But...... I didn't...... Nothing...... Because my husband never told me about work...... The things I told you were all asked by me in Shuitang Township...... But I believe it...... Sooner or later, I will gather their evidence, and sooner or later I will correct my husband's name......"
