Meng He didn't cook.

When Zhou Zhengqun pushed the door and came in, Meng He was sitting alone on the sofa, and the room was dimly lit.

Zhou Zhengqun walked over: "What, where is it uncomfortable?" "Two days ago, Meng He said that her chest was stuffy and she couldn't do anything to lift her spirits.

Meng He raised his face, his dark eyes moved in the dim light, and Zhou Zhengqun clearly saw that there were a few drops of crystal in Meng He's eyes.

He hurriedly leaned down and carefully grabbed her shoulder: "Thinking nonsense again?" "These days, the god Menghe is not guarded and often says some inexplicable and terrifying things.

"Zhengqun, I'm afraid ......" Meng He muttered, and suddenly hugged her husband. Zhou Zhengqun clearly felt that his wife's body was shaking, which was a message sent by a person in a state of fear.

"Xiaohe, what the hell is going on?" Zhou Zhengqun hugged his wife and asked uneasily.

"Zhengqun, I'm afraid." Meng He said again.

Zhou Zhengqun couldn't care less, he turned his wife's face and looked at her seriously: "Xiaohe, are you inquiring again?" Meng He didn't answer directly, she answered Zhou Zhengqun with an even more uneasy trembling.

Zhou Zhengqun let go of his wife, Meng He's behavior made him sad and almost lost his cool, but he had to be calm. He thought that it would be impossible not to make a difference in this situation if he had any wife. It's just that Meng He does this, not only will it not alleviate the crisis, but it will make things worse.

After sitting silently for a moment, Zhou Zhengqun said in a deep voice: "Are you looking for Zhuo Mei?" ”

Zhuo Mei is the wife of Liu Mingjian of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Meng He only interacts with these women in the circle on weekdays, and he thinks that the news must have been revealed to Meng He by Zhuo Mei.

Meng He bit her lip, neither affirming nor denying, she was like a wounded lamb, trembling at herself.

Zhou Zhengqun grabbed the phone and was about to call Zhuo Mei, Meng He was scared, so he grabbed the phone: "Zhengqun, don't ......"

"You-" Zhou Zhengqun sighed, and fell helplessly on the sofa, Meng He leaned over, and a long hair fell on Zhou Zhengqun's chest: "Zhengqun, will they also take you away?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Zhengqun was angry now, "Can you think of something else!" ”

For a while, the night had firmly covered the house, Zhou Zhengqun wanted to turn on the light, but Meng He said no. Today's Meng He is really bizarre, after being married for so many years, it is the first time that Zhou Zhengqun has found her so uncontrollable.

The two of them hugged each other on the sofa and snuggled up to each other in the dark for about 20 minutes. In the past 20 minutes, Zhou Zhengqun thought a lot, and he even thought of his wife, and remembered the difficult years with her.

Snuggled in her husband's arms for a while, Meng He felt less afraid, and her heart gradually calmed down, she brushed down her long hair, stared at her husband with fluttering eyes, and said cautiously: "Zhengqun, I want to hand over that calligraphy and painting." ”

"What did you say?" Zhou Zhengqun bounced up. Calligraphy and painting, Meng He actually mentioned calligraphy and painting!

Zhou Zhengqun has a hobby of collecting calligraphy and paintings, this hobby is related to his first wife, his original father-in-law is a famous calligrapher in Jiangbei, almost all the money earned in his life is used for collection, influenced by this, Zhou Zhengqun is also fascinated by calligraphy and painting. This is not a secret, many people around him know it, even Pang Binlai, the secretary, also said when receiving foreign guests: "I heard that you have the authentic works of Qi Baishi at home, when will you take it out for us to feast our eyes?" ”

Some of these calligraphy and paintings at home were given by the original father-in-law, and some were collected by him when he was in Chunjiang, when the mainland collection craze was just emerging, and the calligraphy and paintings were not too expensive, and Zhou Zhengqun could still afford to collect them. After working in the province, Zhou Zhengqun gave up this hobby, and there was indeed a last resort. Any hobby of a high-level cadre can become a driver of certain interests. Zhou Zhengqun believes that if he continues to maintain this hobby, the black market of calligraphy and painting in Jinjiang City will be much more active because of his hobby, and the price will increase several times.

Wan Daihe once spent a lot of money to buy a calligraphy and painting from the black market to give it to him, but unfortunately she was fooled, it was a fake, and it was not worth a few dollars.

Half a year ago, Kong Qingyun gave him a piece of calligraphy, saying that it was sent by a friend at the Beijing University Forum, which was the work of a famous calligrapher, Zhou Zhengqun really couldn't put it down, thinking about the relationship with Qingyun, he accepted it. He thought that the calligraphy and painting Meng He said must be the one sent by Kong Qingyun.

Meng He looked at him anxiously, waiting for him to make a statement. Zhou Zhengqun thought of Kong Qingyun in his heart. That day, Liu Mingjian revealed the news to him, saying that someone reported that Kong Qingyun had accepted bribes in the construction of the Jiangda project, including a calligraphy and painting worth 8 million yuan. Zhou Zhengqun didn't believe it at first, he had never heard of Kong Qingyun having this hobby, but unfortunately, Liu Mingjian told him three days later that they had found this calligraphy and painting in Kong Qingyun's office.

It seems that Meng He wants to take the initiative to break away from the relationship with Qingyun's family.

He stared at his wife a little strangely, this face used to intoxicate him so much, so forgetful that soon after his first wife Chu Chu left, he fell in love, and despite the resistance of the world, he married her. Zhou Zhengqun often thinks that Meng He is another treasure given to him by God after Chu Chu, and it is God's compensation for him. For this, he was very grateful to the Xia family, without them, it would be impossible for him to meet Meng He, and it would be impossible to rekindle love in the gloomy days. Without the strong support of Xia Lao and Xia Yu, it would be impossible for him to get out of the grief of losing Chu Chu, so he took Meng He's hand without hesitation and re-entered the palace of marriage. But now......

Zhou Zhengqun couldn't think anymore, he retracted his gaze, and said with a little coldness: "Xiaohe, it's not good to have such an idea, right?" ”

"Zhengqun, I'm thinking about you, just listen to me once." Meng He was about to hit his head again, but Zhou Zhengqun pushed her away violently: "Okay, this matter is over!" ”

The next morning, Zhou Zhengqun pushed off his official duties and drove to Xia's hometown. He had to come, and he had to make it clear to Xia Lao in person that he was also involved in the Qingyun case, and the reason why he is still showing up and presiding over the work now is because of Secretary Pang Binlai's trust.

Secretary Pang did not believe that he would be involved in a corruption case, and once said to Jin Ziyang at a special meeting of the provincial party committee: "We can't listen to the wind or the rain, and the masses will reflect on it, and as an organization, we can't just suspect any comrade." Comrade Zhengqun's work has just begun, and there are still many hard bones waiting for him to gnaw on in the mess he is in charge of, so he must not act hastily. ”

With these words, Zhou Zhengqun can continue to work at his post, otherwise, he may be the same as Qingyun, and it is time to suspend him for investigation.

Xia Lao was at home, and when Zhou Zhengqun went in, Xia Wentian had just finished practicing calligraphy, and he said with a smile: "You came just in time, I was looking for you." ”

"Something?" Zhou Zhengqun asked uneasily.

"There is something I didn't bother to tell you last time, I ran for Xia Yu these days, and it is not easy, so you have to come forward in person, the vice governor."

Zhou Zhengqun sighed and sat down, he couldn't guess what Xia Wentian was going to say to him.

Xia Wentian said: "Xia Yu They want to build a school to provide learning opportunities for those children with intellectual disabilities, and this matter has been planned almost completely, so they will report to you, the vice governor, and implement the land. ”

Zhou Zhengqun's heart was relieved, Xia Wentian didn't mention anything embarrassing to him. The Disabled Persons' Federation is preparing to set up a school, he seems to have heard Yang Li say this, and he has secretly pondered in his heart that this is a good thing and should be supported.

"Is the investor Dahua Industrial?" He asked.

"Yes, it's this Dahua Industry, when I was working in the provincial party committee, I inspected this company, and it did a good job, and recently I heard that it has also started real estate. Back then, their Mr. Pan was elected as a model worker in the province, and it was still a tweed that I gave him to wear. "Xia Wentian is very interested in talking, as long as he mentions the past, his interest in talking will be high, which is also a common characteristic of old people.

"Do you want me to tell Mr. Pan that he has always been generous to public welfare." Zhou Zhengqun asked.

"Generous, of course generous. Spend tens of millions to build a temple, can you say that he is not generous? ”

"Repair the temple?"

"You don't know yet, I said that I would give Xia Yu their money, and the one surnamed Pan took it to repair the temple, what is it called Zizhu Temple. I just don't understand, why build so many temples, what's wrong with spending money on these children. Just a Buddha, everyone rushes to make offerings, can the Buddha take care of it? Xia Wentian said half-whining and half-joking.

As soon as he heard that it was the Purple Bead Courtyard, Zhou Zhengqun didn't dare to speak much, he knew that this Purple Bead Courtyard, Feng Peiming's old mother believed in Buddhism, and used to eat fasting and chanting Buddha in Tanzhe Temple, and later said that he had a dream, and he dreamed of Purple Bead, so he had a plan to build Purple Bead Courtyard. This matter involves the religious community, and Zhou Zhengqun is not good at talking nonsense, but Dahua Industrial donated the money to Zizhu Academy, which still makes him inevitably think about it.

"There are two things looking for you, one is to have the opportunity to help Xia Yu and them shout a few times, relying on the strength of the Disabled Persons' Federation alone, it is too difficult to raise funds. The second is that you also turn around in your head to see if there is a suitable place and leave a piece for them. There are so many mentally handicapped children in the province, this special group cannot be ignored, if these children can really receive education, the merit is immeasurable. ”

Zhou Zhengqun nodded: "Old leader, I have written this down." ”

Xia Wentian can still read these children at this time, it's not simple, Zhou Zhengqun sighed, and hesitated in his heart, do you want to say those words?

"I heard that Zhabei New Village is going to be moved?" Xia Wentian asked again.

Zhou Zhengqun nodded again.

"Comrade Binlai has made a statement?"

"It was a decision made by the provincial party committee."

Zhou Zhengqun's words made Xia Wentian silent, and after a while, he said: "Zhengqun, it's not that I don't agree with the construction of a new village of higher education, but now this construction method is worrying. Since the provincial party committee has decided to move, I won't say anything more, but there is one thing, I Xia Wentian insists wherever I go, the school is a place for children to learn knowledge and talents, and they can't make a mess. ”

Zhou Zhengqun's heart became heavy again. He found that Xia Lao's speech was not like before, his words were much softer than before, and his words had been carefully considered. This made him uneasy, what kind of force made a respected person like Xia Lao become cautious and cautious in his words?

Was it just him who withdrew? No, Zhou Zhengqun firmly believes that it is not.

They chatted for two hours that day, and the strange thing was that Xia Wentian didn't blame him for not coming to see him for so long, let alone mentioning Kong Qingyun for half a word, and Zhou Zhengqun's words that he had thought out in advance were useless. Before saying goodbye, Xia Wentian suddenly said: "See Wu Xiaoxiao when you have time, don't always avoid her." ”

Avoid? On the way back, Zhou Zhengqun kept thinking, why did Xia Lao use these two words?

In front of Li Jiangbei was a thick report.

It took Xiao Su, an assistant, a week to learn about the cooperation between Yangtze University and Jiangbei Business School from several old professors of Yangtze University. Six years ago, Wu Xiaoxiao's father, Wu Hanzhang, returned to his homeland from the United States with enthusiasm and wanted to establish a private university in his hometown. Wu Hanzhang is an outstanding representative of Chinese Americans, who went abroad before "**", completed his master's degree and doctorate in the United States, and when he returned to China, he encountered the turbulent political storm in the mainland, and his friends in the United States repeatedly stayed in the United States. His maternal grandfather had a huge industry in the United States, and his mother had been helping his grandfather manage the company abroad, Wu Hanzhang soon had permanent residency in the United States, and successively taught at five universities to spread oriental culture, and later with his mother's funding, Wu Hanzhang founded the first Chinese school in San Francisco, dedicated to the spread of oriental culture. After the reform and opening up, Mr. Wu wanted to come back, but he wanted to serve the motherland. However, the work in San Francisco has not been free, and the mainland's policy on private education is not clear, so the old man's wish has not been realized. It was not until six years ago that the time was ripe, and the old gentleman first sent a representative to contact the Jiangbei side, and after several negotiations, the Jiangbei side warmly welcomed the returned overseas Chinese and approved his application to establish a school in Jinjiang City.

Jiangbei proposed that there are still many restrictions on the policy of setting up a university in Jiangbei in the name of the old man, so it is better to be attached to the name of Jiangbei Business School and the name of the Affiliated College of Jiangbei Business School, which is easier to operate. After contacting Jiangbei Business School, he said that the affiliated college is not good, and it is not in line with his ideas, so it is better for the two to jointly run the school in the form of a joint-stock system. This suggestion was finally adopted, and it was in this context that Yangtze University was founded, which is a joint-stock system and administratively subordinate to the leadership of Jiangbei Business School.

The old gentleman never expected that his enthusiasm and sincerity were plotted. First of all, the funds agreed by Jiangbei Business School have not been in place, as the controlling party, the business school has to invest 51% of the funds, and more than half of the old man's funds have arrived, and the business school still does not have a penny. Then, the old gentleman learned that the 5 million yuan he invested for the second time was misappropriated by the business school for other purposes, partly to repair the teacher's residential building, and partly for several school leaders to take it to go abroad. The old gentleman was very angry and took the contract to the Department of Education. The Department of Education patiently mediated, and the business school said that the funds would arrive within 3 months. In this way, the old gentleman believed in the business school again and again, and transferred funds from abroad again and again, and the preparatory work for the establishment of Yangtze University finally had an eyebrow, and the business school vacated two teaching buildings, two apartments, and sent 12 teachers. The old gentleman spent money to rent the school building of a technical school, hired more than 30 teachers, and the enrollment work began.

Who knew that next, the conflict escalated, and when the trouble reached its worst, Mr. Lao even sued the business school to the court, and as a result, the business school was always right, but it was always Mr. Wu who was repeatedly troubled. Two years ago, Mr. Wu had a complete falling out with the business school, and proposed to run Yangtze University independently, completely dissociating himself from the business school. Unexpectedly, this move annoyed the relevant departments, and the qualification of Yangtze University was revoked, and the business school took back four buildings and withdrew the teaching staff. Immediately afterwards, the technical school also proposed to terminate the lease contract and take back the school premises ahead of schedule. The old gentleman was forced to a dead end, he worked hard for Yangtze University over the years, overworked, and in the face of a huge blow, the old gentleman couldn't afford to fall ill and finally left the world.

Mr. Lao invested more than 50 million yuan in Yangtze University, plus the loans he obtained with his own foreign companies as guarantees, and some of the loans also came from ** banks, which is equivalent to investing all his assets in Yangtze University, but the prospects of Yangtze University are worrying.

Wu Xiaoxiao came to the mainland before her father's death, before she served as the chairman of Wu's Enterprise ** Company, and after her father's death, she officially took over Yangtze University. At that time, Yangtze University was almost paralyzed, and this 36-year-old woman relied on perseverance and the help of several old professors to overcome the most difficult period of Yangtze University. But that time also left a shadow on the heart of this young and talented woman. At first, Wu Xiaoxiao wanted to pursue Jiangbei Business School's liability for breach of contract through legal channels, but she soon gave up this idea, and now she is running around, eager to seek help from all walks of life, to solve the dispute with Jiangbei Business School in a safe way, and win a glimmer of life for Yangtze University.

Li Jiangbei gently closed the material, he had read the 28-page investigation material no less than five times, and when he closed his eyes, he could almost memorize it. Every time I watched it, Li Jiangbei's heart was heavy. An old man with considerable prestige in the Chinese circle in the United States, a wanderer with a fiery sense of enthusiasm for his homeland, and an old professor, an old expert, and an industrialist who wanted to contribute his surplus heat to the education of the motherland, but planted a fight in his homeland, not only suffered heavy losses economically, but also put his own life into it!

Li Jiangbei and Mr. Wu don't have a deep relationship, but some emotions are not evaluated by the depth of the relationship. When Mr. Wu first came to Jinjiang, he invited colleagues from the Jinjiang education circle to talk by the riverside, and although they didn't talk much, Mr. Wu's outlook, talkativeness, and heart for his hometown were deeply imprinted in his mind. Over the years, rumors and rumors about Yangtze University have always continued, and there are many versions, just what Li Jiangbei heard, there are several completely different statements. But all the statements added up were not as shocking as this material. If the materials reflect the situation is true, then what Yangtze University has encountered is not only contract fraud, but ......

What is it? Li Jiangbei couldn't say for a while, but there was already a kind of resentment in his heart that he couldn't resist, and a strong impulse rose, as if forcing him to do something. The achievements of Jiangbei's higher education are obvious to all, and it cannot be said that they are not huge, but behind them, there is too much dirt hidden. If this turbidity current is not removed, Jiangbei's higher education cause will not be able to develop healthily!

The sun is always accompanied by clouds, and Li Jiangbei is a person who cannot see the clouds, especially for such a noble and sacred cause as higher education, and cannot tolerate dirty people to defile it.

Li Jiangbei put away the materials, got up angrily, and paced back and forth in the office for a while, still unable to calm down. Then he stopped on the small balcony and looked out the window, where the scenery was beautiful and the sun was so bright that he wanted to take a few deep breaths. The energetic students walked back and forth in his sight, and the youthful and beautiful figures dressed the world more beautiful under the May sky. Li Jiangbei suddenly remembered his college days, and remembered the self full of dreams when he was young......

On this day, he finally made a decision to sincerely meet Ms. Wu Xiaoxiao to hear the most true inside story from her.

Perhaps, this is what he, a member of the CPPCC, should do!
