Chapter VII: Fulfilling Promises
The spring sun is warm and gentle.
But in the room of the barbershop, there was darkness that eroded into the marrow.
Mu Zhengyi stood respectfully, ready to listen to the instructions of the barbershop owner.
The barbershop owner looked at Mu Zhengyi, who was standing respectfully with his head down, and then said slowly: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring." During this time, Hengchang's progress is still very large, but it has been several months since his grandson was admitted to Hengshi, and the heat has been exhausted, so it's time to make new plans. ”
The barber shop owner paused a little when he said this, and then continued unhurriedly: "I have received instructions from my superiors, and I am ready to promote Hengchang again, so as to further improve Hengchang's popularity." However, this requires the daughter-in-law to fulfill her promise. ”
After the barbershop owner finished speaking, he went to an office table, reached out and picked up an envelope from the table, then turned around and slowly walked to Mu Zhengyi.
The barbershop owner handed Mu Zhengyi the envelope and said solemnly: "After you finish writing, you will destroy it immediately, and you will destroy it yourself, you know?" ”
Mu Zhengyi hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch the envelope, and then said solemnly: "The subordinates know, the subordinates understand." ”
Then the barbershop owner said solemnly: "Remember, it must be implemented within two days, and there must be no mistakes, and I hope that Senior Mu Zheng will not live up to the trust of his superiors in you." ”
After hearing this, Mu Zhengyi immediately said solemnly: "Please rest assured, please also tell your superiors that Mu Zheng will definitely live up to the trust of his superiors in Mu Zheng, and Mu Zheng will definitely do his best to handle this matter, please rest assured." ”
The barber shop owner nodded after hearing what Mu Zhengyi said, and then said indifferently: "Very good, I will definitely tell my superiors what my seniors say, you can rest assured!" Okay, let's go back and arrange it first! I hope that the seniors of Mu Zheng can complete the task beautifully as soon as possible. ”
After hearing this, Mu Zhengyi immediately said resolutely: "My subordinates will do it, and please wait for the good news." ”
After Mu Zhengyi finished speaking, he took a step back, then turned around and put the envelope into the pocket inside his clothes, and then went to gently open the door.
After Mu Zhengyi went out, he still closed the door gently.
After Mu Zhengyi got out of the barbershop, he hurriedly got in the car and went home.
As soon as Mu Zhengyi got home, he hurried to his study.
After Mu Zhengyi walked into the study, he locked the door behind his back, and then slowly went to sit on the chair.
After Mu Zhengyi sat on the chair, he gasped a few times sullenly, and then slowly took out the envelope from his pocket.
Mu Zhengyi opened the envelope and slowly took out a piece of paper from inside, and when he opened the paper, he immediately saw the two words of the suicide note on the top, and suddenly, his body trembled, and he couldn't help but close the paper again.
Although Mu Zhengyi had already guessed that it would be a suicide note and was mentally prepared, when he really saw those two words, he still didn't dare to look at them directly, and felt a tingling pain in his heart as if he had been pricked by a needle.
After a long while, Mu Zhengyi slowly opened the paper again.
After Mu Zhengyi gritted his teeth and held his breath to read it, he immediately closed the paper and put it in the envelope again.
Then Mu Zhengyi opened the drawer, put the envelope in the drawer, and after putting it away, he slowly leaned back in the chair, and then frowned and closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took for Mu Zhengyi to slowly open his eyes, he looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
Mu Zhengyi made up his mind, and then went out of the study, went out and closed the door, and then went downstairs.
After arriving downstairs, Mu Zhengyi instructed the servant, saying that there was no need to wait for him at lunchtime.
After Mu Zhengyi finished speaking, he went out silently, and after leaving the gate, he walked along the Changping River alone and without a look.
Mu Zhengyi walked out for a long time before he stood on his feet.
Mu Zhengyi half-squinted, looking at Rong Hai on the other side of the Changping River, and suddenly felt that he might never be able to set foot on that familiar land again in his lifetime, thinking of this, Mu Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little down.
After Mu Zhengyi looked at it for a while, he looked at the endless river with a dull gaze.
Suddenly, Mu Zhengyi's mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out to be Mu Zhengdao calling, Mu Zhengdao on the other end of the phone said softly: "Dad, are you okay?" I don't come back for dinner at noon. ”
After hearing this, Mu Zhengyi said flatly: "I watched an old friend outside, so I ate outside, you and Jia'er eat, go to work after eating, leave me alone." ”
After Mu Zhengyi finished speaking, he hung up the phone
After Mu Zhengyi hung up the phone, he continued to look at the river silently, and after looking at it for a while, Mu Zhengyi felt a little tired, so he found a suitable position, sat down, and then continued to look at the Changping River.
Mu Zhengyi sat until five o'clock in the afternoon, then slowly got up and walked back with heavy steps.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Zhengdao saw that Mu Zhengyi's face was not very good, so he asked with concern: "Dad, are you uncomfortable?" ”
After hearing this, Mu Zhengyi shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine, let's eat!" ”
After Mu Zhengdao heard this, he saw that Mu Zhengyi didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more.
When Mu Zhengyi finished eating and left, he said to Mu Zhengdao and Zhenling Jia'er: "You all come to my study in a while." ”
After Mu Zhengdao and Zhenling Jia'er listened, they nodded and agreed.
After Mu Zhengyi heard their promise, he turned around and went upstairs to the study to wait for them.
After Zhenling Jia'er saw Mu Zhengyi go out, she whispered to Mu Zhengdao, "What's wrong with Dad today?" Looks weird. ”
Mu Zhengdao shook his head after hearing this and said, "I don't know either. “
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhengdao said: "Don't ask yet, when you have finished eating, let's go to Dad's study quickly!" ”
Mu Zhengdao and Zhenling Jia'er, after eating a good meal, went upstairs to Mu Zhengyi's study together.
Mu Zhengdao and Zhenling Jia'er stood quietly in front of Mu Zhengyi's table after arriving in the room.
Mu Zhengyi saw that the two of them were standing, so he raised his head and looked at Zhenling Jia'er coldly and said, "Do you remember what you said in order to let Run'er go to the Department of Architecture?" ”
After hearing this, Zhenling Jia'er couldn't react for a while, so she hurriedly frowned and recalled some things about Mu Zhengyan's selection of the department.
After hearing this, Mu Zhengdao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he looked at Mu Zhengyi with a strong heart.
Mu Zhengyi saw that Zhen Lingjia'er didn't seem to remember, so he said calmly: "You said that for the sake of Run'er, you can let you do anything, even let you die." ”
When Mu Zhengyi said this, he opened the drawer and took out the envelope that the barbershop owner had given him.
Mu Zhengyi took the envelope and said with an indifferent expression: "It's time to fulfill your promise." ”
After Mu Zhengyi finished speaking, he handed the envelope to Zhenling Jia'er.
Although Zhen Ling Jia'er still hadn't remembered what she had said, after listening to what Mu Zhengyi said, her intuition told her that she might be dying.
Zhen Lingjia'er took the envelope with trembling hands.
Mu Zhengdao on the side was already trembling all over, and he gritted his teeth to keep his composure.
Zhen Lingjia'er opened the envelope with trembling hands, and when she took out the piece of paper inside and opened it, the word suicide note immediately jumped into her eyes, causing her to exclaim in pain and then collapse to the ground.
Mu Zhengdao on the side saw that Zhenling Jia'er collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, so he quickly squatted down, and then quickly picked up the piece of paper that fell on the ground.
When Mu Zhengdao saw the word suicide note on the paper at a glance, his body couldn't help but freeze.
Zhenling Jia'er, who was paralyzed on the ground, slowly took the piece of paper from Mu Zhengdao's hand, and then looked at the words on it with blurred tears in her eyes.
After a long while, Mu Zhengdao slowly sat down on the ground, and then he slowly raised his head and said to Mu Zhengyi in a hoarse voice: "Dad, what are you doing here?" How could this be! ”
Mu Zhengyi turned his face to the side after hearing this, and then said coldly: "You don't need to ask, you also know, it is impossible to change what the superiors have decided, so let's do it as soon as possible!" So as not to let the superiors do it. ”
