On the afternoon of the third day, Li Jiangbei heard the news that City College was moving again, and he suddenly wondered, what was going on, didn't Lao Cui say that he wouldn't move first?

The city college postponed the relocation, which was really Li Jiangbei's idea. Li Jiangbei and Cui Jian are also familiar with each other, as early as when Cui Jian served as the principal of Jinjiang Normal College, the two had a very close relationship. Both of them majored in education, and Cui Jian later focused on educational psychology. Second, Jiangbei University and Jinjiang Normal College are teaching contact units, and the relationship between the two is already very good. After Cui Jian became the dean of the City College, the two often exchanged views on issues related to educational administration and the development of higher education, and Cui Jian consulted Li Jiangbei on the future development direction of the City College and the specific issues in the management of the college, and Li Jiangbei talked about a lot of his own views every time without reservation.

On the topic of Zhabei Higher Education New Village, the two talked a lot, and the most substantial one was to visit Guangzhou in March this year. During that investigation, the two lived together all the way, and when there was nothing to do at night, they took the affairs of the higher education world to relieve their boredom. One night, Cui Jian had the courage to express the doubts in his heart, including several doubts in the contract.

"Something is wrong with this." Cui Jian said.

Li Jiangbei was frightened by Cui Jian's words, to be honest, although he had different opinions on Zhabei Higher Education New Village, and had put forward several proposals in this regard, it was all in the general direction, focusing on the "industrialization of education" and the "huge debt of colleges and universities". He didn't know anything about the contract Cui Jian said, after all, he was just an ordinary teacher, and he had no right to know some secrets. Cui Jian's words immediately aroused his vigilance: "Old Cui, you can't talk nonsense about this matter, you have to talk about principles." ”

"Jiangbei, you still don't believe my words, am I, Cui Jian, the one who talks nonsense?" Cui Jian is serious.

Also that night, Cui Jian also told Li Jiangbei that there was a secret behind Zhabei Higher Education New Village, and the land acquisition was greasy. Cui Jian said that he also heard about it after taking the post of dean, half of the land used for the construction of the new village of higher education was originally wasteland, and there was no property right. But coincidentally, just a year before the demonstration of the construction project of Zhabei Higher Education New Village, a company called "Tengfei Industry" handled the lease procedures for this land with the land department in a very short period of time, and the lease period was 50 years. Later, the company simply leveled the wasteland and built temporary structures on top of it, the exact purpose of which is unknown, but the cost was absolutely low. After the demonstration of the Gaojiao New Village project was approved, the first task was to expropriate the land, and the wasteland in Zhabei District, which was not cared for a year ago, suddenly began to speculate, and the land price increased 10 times in just three months. The No. 1 and No. 12 districts used for the construction of Jiangbei University and City College have fallen into the hands of six companies before and after, and the price of overflow per mu of land is 800,000 yuan.

"300 million, Jiangbei, can you imagine where these 300 million ended up?"

Li Jiangbei shook his head.

Cui Jian said in a low voice: "There is a famous hall here, I have inquired about that Tengfei Industry, it is simply a leather bag company, and after the land price is speculated, they will take the money and leave." ”

"Is that really the case?" Li Jiangbei still doesn't believe that Zhabei New Village is a key project in the province, no matter how bold he is, no one dares to move his thoughts, right?

When he came back that time, Li Jiangbei began to pay attention to this matter, but helplessly, most of his information came from the bottom, from the people, and these absolutely high-end secrets involving investment and land transfer, he could not obtain. Once chatted with Zhou Zhengqun, he had the courage to say this, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhengqun to have a black face at that time: "Jiangbei, you are a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a provincial ** counselor, your consciousness will not be so low, right?" Do you dare to believe the rumors on the streets? ”

Seeing Zhou Zhengqun's face, Li Jiangbei didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the matter was temporarily put aside. Who knew that a week ago, Cui Jian suddenly and mysteriously found him, saying that he had inquired about that company, and as expected, it was a black company.

"Which one?" Li Jiangbei was distraught by Wu Xiaoxiao and Yangtze University, and he didn't have the heart to listen to Cui Jian going around.

"Tengfei Industry."

As soon as he heard the word Tengfei, Li Jiangbei raised his head suddenly, coincidentally, he received a letter from the masses two days ago, and the letter was also about this "Tengfei Industry".

"Unexpectedly, the legal representative of the company is Lu Xiaoyu." Cui Jian's voice was very heavy, and he really put a lot of effort into inquiring about this company.

"Lu Xiaoyu? Lao Cui, what are you talking nonsense? Li Jiangbei shouted. He stared at Cui Jian in surprise, feeling that Cui Jian suddenly became a little incredible.

The letter received by Li Jiangbei from the masses reported that Tengfei Industry was a subsidiary of Wanhe Industrial, and the boss behind it was Wanquanhe.

"I'm not talking nonsense this time, I have real evidence." Cui Jian said firmly.

Li Jiangbei glared at him even more in astonishment: "What evidence?" ”

"I found Lu Xiaoyu, she told me personally."

"Really?" The more Li Jiangbei listened, the more confused he became, why did Cui Jian become a detective again?

After Cui Jian finished speaking, Li Jiangbei was not confused, and he firmly believed that Cui Jian was telling the truth.

Lu Xiaoyu, a native of Jianglong County, first worked at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Jianglong County before being sentenced to prison for a financial fraud case. Seven years ago, Lu Xiaoyu was released early, and after being released from prison, she drifted in society for a while, and was almost imprisoned again for stealing, when Hu Ade found her and asked her to be a custodian in his own decoration company. Hu Ade and Lu Xiaoyu are old acquaintances, as early as when Jiang Long was working, the two had a big turmoil, and Lu Xiaoyu was imprisoned, which has a lot to do with Hu Ade. Li Jiangbei has heard some of this one after another, and it is not too detailed, but Hu Ade and Lu Xiaoyu can come together again, and Li Jiangbei believes it.

Cui Jian said that Lu Xiaoyu first worked as a custodian in Huad's company, and soon rose to the position of management, and lived openly with Huad, like a husband and wife. A year later, Hu Ade registered Tengfei Industrial, saying that it was a gift to Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaoyu was very happy, and his relationship with Hu Ade heated up rapidly. In accordance with Hu Ade's instructions, Tengfei Industrial has completed two land enclosures in Zhabei and Hu'an, and quickly dissolved after a high price, and the company has been dissolved in less than two years from its establishment to dissolution.

Li Jiangbei felt that this was strange, and Cui Jian also said that this thing was not normal. After the dissolution of Tengfei Industry, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly disappeared, some people said that she went to **, and some people said that she fled to Singapore with money. A month ago, Cui Jian accidentally met her in a bar called Wai Mei by the Yangtze River, and only then did he know that Lu Xiaoyu had not gone anywhere in the past few years, and she was hiding in Jinjiang.

Lu Xiaoyu didn't get the money, she let Hu Ade play it, and she played it very badly. Huad borrowed her hand to complete the enclosure money laundering, then kicked her away and threatened to put her in jail again if she dared to talk nonsense.

"Bastard, brute!" Li Jiangbei scolded excitedly, how can a person be so despicable? As far as he knew, this was the second time that Huad had used Lu Xiaoyu, and he was so ruthless every time.

After Cui Jian finished speaking that day, he was silent for a long time, and it can be seen that Cui Jian was in pain. Lu Xiaoyu's tragic experience touched him and reminded him of his past. The past is painful, and it is simply unbearable.

Li Jiangbei shouldn't have asked more, there are some things that have passed in the past, and there is no need to turn them around. Some scars grow on the heart, and even the slightest touch will bleed. Although he has a lot of opinions about Cui Jian, he can still understand him in this matter.

"Lao Cui, are you still thinking about her?" After a long moment, he asked again.

Cui Jian shook his head painfully: "Jiangbei, don't ask anything." ”

In light of this major discovery, Cui Jian decided to slow down the pace of relocation, saying: "It can now be concluded that there is a huge shady curtain hidden behind Zhabei Higher Education New Village, and some people have made a fortune in education through Zhabei New Village." Seeing that Li Jiangbei didn't speak, Cui Jian said again: "Jiangbei, believe it or not, behind Hu Ade, there must still be someone else, he is the owner of a decoration company, and he is not so capable." ”

Of course, Li Jiangbei believed that the same question had been circling in his mind for a long time, but the forces behind the scenes were by no means idle, and with the strength of him and Cui Jian, they couldn't shake this big tree at all. At present, Zhou Zhengqun is under investigation again, and his news is completely blocked, and even his secretary Yang Li can't inquire about Zhou Zhengqun, and he came to him a few days ago to ask for news. This kind of chasing after the wind and shadows can't be directly reported to Secretary Pang. What to do? The two of them deliberated and decided, first using the relocation of City College to create contradictions, attract the attention of the high-level, force the forces behind the scenes to appear, and then find a good solution according to the development of the situation.

Who knew that it had only been three days, and the pace of relocation had not completely stopped, and suddenly it was ...... And this time, several colleges seem to be riveting and have invariably stepped up their relocation.

This matter is too strange, Li Jiangbei called Cui Jian, wanting to ask the real situation, who knew that the phone was turned off, and when he called City College, the secretary vomited for a long time, saying that Dean Cui was sick and lived in the hospital last night.

"Hospitalized?" Li Jiangbei became more and more inexplicable, Cui Jian was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly get sick and be hospitalized, could it be ......

He asked what his illness was and which hospital he was staying in, and the secretary shook his head twice and hung up the phone.

Li Jiangbei suddenly felt that something was wrong, someone must have put pressure on Cui Jian!

Li Jiangbei held the phone and stood in the room blankly, thinking of Wu Xiaoxiao's series of inexplicable actions these days, as well as terrible rumors from the outside world, he was a little breathless.

Just when he decided to ask Zhuang Xudong about the matter, a member of the research team walked in and said in a hurried voice: "Member Li, go and take a look, Lu Yu is going to drop out of school." ”

"Drop out?" It's really a wave of unsettled waves, how could Lu Yu drop out of school?

"I just went to Principal Wu's office and happened to bump into her and Principal Wu submitting their withdrawal application."

"Play the piano!" Li Jiangbei roared, pulled out his legs and ran to Wu Xiaoxiao's side.

This is a conflict that is destined to happen, and it seems that everything has been brewing since the day Wu Xiaoxiao arrived in the mainland. It's no wonder that Wu Xiaoxiao, if Li Jiangbei had the opportunity to deeply understand Wu Xiaoxiao's inner changes, feel her pain, and taste her bitterness, perhaps, Li Jiangbei would not blame Wu Xiaoxiao. However, God didn't give Li Jiangbei such a chance, or Wu Xiaoxiao instinctively rejected him and rejected him, this refusal, this rejection, there are too many unknown reasons, and there are too many helplessness and embarrassment.

Wu Xiaoxiao originally returned to the mainland with enthusiasm, and like her father Wu Hanzhang, she was deeply honored to be able to establish a university in the mainland and contribute to the education of the motherland. When she learned that her father intended to hand over this school to her and manage it, Wu Xiaoxiao was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, and she said to her father on the phone: "Dad, are you really willing to give it to me?" The father smiled: "You are my only daughter, who will you give it to if you don't give it to you?" ”

The father and daughter quarreled for a while, and the father got down to business, asking her to entrust the affairs of ** to the assistant and come to Jiangbei as soon as possible. Wu Xiaoxiao didn't know her father's true intentions at the time, and thought that her father wanted to use Yangtze University to test her. Her father had tested her in a similar way, and she worked in obscurity for two years in Wu's enterprise before finally getting her father's approval and officially taking over the company. It wasn't until her father died that Wu Xiaoxiao understood that her father was not testing her this time, but wanted her help. Yangtze University suffered a series of crises and was almost forced to close its doors several times, which made his father, who had never failed in the mall, suffer a lot, and also made his father puzzled by the difficulty of doing things in the mainland. The father was overwhelmed, a little dazed or overwhelmed, he thought that his young daughter was more enlightened than him and might be able to cope with this complicated situation, and he wanted his daughter to help him deal with these very difficult things. It's a pity that my father didn't wait for this day, and before he could tell his true intentions, he fell headlong to the ground and never got up again.

The death of her father gave Wu Xiaoxiao a blow to the head and almost knocked over to the ground, but fortunately she survived and did not lose confidence. However, the next series of encounters made her confused, confused, and even gradually lost herself. "Why don't I want to stick to it, but you tell me, how can you let me stick to such an environment?" One day later, Wu Xiaoxiao held bitter coffee and said to Li Jiangbei painfully.

However, on this day, Wu Xiaoxiao was not so polite to Li Jiangbei, and there was even hostility in her words. When Li Jiangbei entered, Wu Xiaoxiao was holding Lu Yu's dropout report and sitting there with a deep face. The two thin pages of paper seem to weigh a thousand pounds, which makes the hands of this heroine who has followed her father to the rivers and lakes since the age of 26 tremble. Li Jiangbei glanced at her and moved his gaze to Lu Yu's face, Lu Yu was very calm, the Lu Yu that Li Jiangbei saw always exuded a kind of calm, and the only time he went crazy was in Zhang Chaoyang's ward.

"Lu Yu, you can't do this." Li Jiangbei said.

Lu Yu glanced back at him: "I'm sorry, professor, I've already decided." ”

"Your decision is wrong, classmate Lu Yu, you are a student, how can you not study?"

"It's not that I don't study, I just want to leave and grow up." Lu Yu said.

"What's wrong with growing up, haven't you been campaigning for growing up to make it better?"

"That was before, and now I want to give up."

"Give up?" Li Jiangbei stared at Lu Yu puzzled for a while, then turned to Wu Xiaoxiao: "Principal Wu, what the hell is going on?" ”

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear it, she was indifferent to Li Jiangbei's arrival, she was silent for a moment, and she said to Lu Yu: "Really think about it?" ”

"You've figured it out!" Lu Yu replied firmly.

"Okay, let's go through the formalities when we think about it." As she spoke, she took out her pen and was about to sign Lu Yu's withdrawal report, Li Jiangbei was anxious: "Principal Wu, you can't be so casual." ”

Wu Xiaoxiao raised her head at this time: "You mean I'm casual?" ”

"We are responsible for the lives of our children, they love to be impulsive, you and I can't."

"Impulsive? I, Wu Xiaoxiao, never do impulsive things! After speaking, Lu Lu signed his name on the application and handed it to Lu Yu: "Take it to the school office, I repeat it again, it was you who strongly requested it, regret it then, don't blame others." ”

Lu Yu stretched out his hands and took the two pages, didn't say another half a word, turned around and walked out the door. Li Jiangbei found that the moment Lu Yu reached out to take the application, his eyes were soaked with tears, and his always bright eyes were extinguished at that moment.

What the hell is going on?

"Principal Wu, you're too hasty!" As soon as Lu Yu went out, Li Jiangbei's voice sounded, this was the first time he was angry at Wu Xiaoxiao. Just as he turned around and wanted to chase after Lu Yu, Wu Xiaoxiao let go of her clenched lip and said in a deep voice: "Commissioner Li, please don't interfere with my normal work." ”

"I intervene, I Li Jiangbei intervene in your work?" Li Jiangbei was extremely surprised, he never imagined that Wu Xiaoxiao would speak to him in such a tone.

Just when he was about to argue with Wu Xiaoxiao, the door of the principal's office was pushed open, and it was the vice principal who had held a meeting with Li Jiangbei who came in, followed by Zhang Xingwang with a gloomy face.

"The formalities have been completed, and Lao Zhang specially came to say goodbye to you." Said the vice principal.

"No need." Wu Xiaoxiao's voice seemed to fall from the sky, and she couldn't feel whether it was light or heavy.

"Lao Zhang, why are you here?" Li Jiangbei saw Zhang Xingwang and hurriedly greeted him.

"I ...... I...... I'll go through the formalities for Chaoyang. Zhang Xingwang snorted, his eyes avoided Li Jiangbei, and he didn't dare to look at his face.

"Procedures, what procedures?"

"Yes......" Before Zhang Xingwang finished speaking, Wu Xiaoxiao issued an eviction order: "Go back, Lao Zhang, guard your son in the hospital, by the way, the medical expenses have been paid in advance." ”

"Got it." Zhang Xingwang answered, lowered his head, stood uneasily for a while, stomped his feet, and left.

Li Jiangbei's mind flashed a few times, and he suddenly realized something, and said in shock: "You won't expel classmate Zhang Chaoyang too, right?" ”

Wu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Jiangbei hatefully, biting her lip and not speaking. The vice principal couldn't bear it anymore and said worriedly: "It's not that I'm expelled, it's that he took the initiative to apply for withdrawal." ”

"Nonsense!" Li Jiangbei scolded in a low voice and chased after him.

This day is July 5th, and Li Jiangbei has been stationed at Yangtze University for half a month.

On the same day, a war broke out between Meng He's mother and son.

In the afternoon, Meng He went to the hospital, and Lin Mozhi called her, saying that she didn't want her daughter to live in this hospital and wanted to transfer Geng Lijuan to another hospital. Meng He has been to the hospital less recently, not because she doesn't want to go, but because her life has changed too much, which makes her overwhelmed.

After her husband Zhou Zhengqun was examined, the attitude of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions towards her suddenly changed. In the past, Meng He could not sit on duty, and if he had something, he just had to talk to his colleagues in the department and go to work. Not now, she has to sit there 8 hours a day, occasionally go out, and have to go to the supervisor to ask for leave. Meng He can't stand this, it doesn't matter if he asks for leave, the key is the leader's gaze. Meng He didn't realize that people's eyes would be so complicated before, in the past in the Federation of Trade Unions, Meng He felt the spring breeze, the sun, all the eyes were filled with honey, so that she always admired the world is too beautiful. Since that terrible thing happened, it seems that overnight, autumn has swept the whole world, and everywhere you go, there is the sound of rain hitting plantains, and the sound of autumn wind sweeping away leaves. When people look at her, they are no longer smiling, respectful, respectful, respectful, and no longer "close as a family". Overnight, people's eyes became presumptuous and courageous, even if they were polite, it was the kind of gaze that implied schadenfreude when watching the fire from the other side. Meng He couldn't stand it, he really couldn't stand it.

In Meng He's life, she didn't have this kind of experience at all, she married Zhou Zhengqun in the best time of her life, and since then she has been triumphant all the way, singing all the way, smiling all the way, she thought that life should be like this, there will be no clouds or winds, and there will be no frost and snow sword. So she can smile all the way, sing softly all the way, and always maintain an approachable and humble manner. Now she understands that all of this is fake, and that she has been deceived by life and lived in an illusion.

She went to Jin Ziyang and asked him: "Didn't you say it at the beginning, as long as you take out the calligraphy and painting and explain things clearly, it shows that you have nothing to do with Zhou Zhengqun, how can this be?" Jin Ziyang smiled honestly: "Menghe, things are always changing and developing, and sometimes, it is not subject to human will. Meng He touched his nose and received an hour's training from Jin Ziyang in the provincial party committee in vain.

She was unwilling, returned to the Federation of Trade Unions, and went to the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions: "Why stop Geng Lijuan's medical expenses, her expenses are more than 10,000 yuan a day, and if she has no money, what will she use to treat her illness?" ”

The chairman of the trade union said calmly: "Minister Meng, we have done our best, and the rest should be handed over to her husband." ”

"Her husband? You know that she has a discordant relationship with her husband, and Lu Ping doesn't care about her at all, doing so is tantamount to helping Lu Ping kill her! ”

"Comrade Meng He, the trade union is not an almshouse, don't you think that you have taken this matter a little too far?"

"Excessive, how did I excessive?" Meng He began to roar, and what she couldn't stand the most was the attitude of the union chairman.

"Comrade Meng He, you and Geng Lijuan have a deep relationship and a close relationship, and we understand it, but bringing personal feelings to work will hurt our work system." The chairman of the union took up an official tone.

touched a few noses in succession, Meng He cried, this is the first time that Meng He, who is in his 40s but still naïve, has cried for his own situation, and for the first time he has cried for the cold state of the world. Later, she couldn't help but call Xia Yu, and said with guilt: "Xia Yu, I regret it, I really regret it." ”

Xia Yu was blinded by her words, and didn't react for a long time: "Meng He, what are you talking about?" Be all abroad. ”

"Xia Yu, even you use this tone to train me?"

"Meng He, what's wrong with you, who trained you?" Xia Yu was so busy, and his tone of voice seemed to be coping. Meng He captured this very sensitively, and she shouted at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, the matter of your family Qingyun has nothing to do with me, and I am still wronged." ”

Xia Yu hung up the phone.

Meng He was stupid for a long time, no, not in a daze, but in hatred, and suddenly grabbed the phone, this time, she called Zhuo Mei: "Zhuo Mei, tell me, what did my family Zhengqun do, why do you all have to treat me like this?" ”

Zhuo Mei stammered for a long time, and said in fear: "Meng He, don't ask such a thing in the future, I told you the news last time, and my old Liu Banyue ignored me." ”

Meng He's way to his friends was cut off like this, Meng He has never been so lonely when he lives to this day, it turns out that loneliness is so terrible.

I can't be killed by it! Meng He screamed like this, stretched out his hands, and began to scratch indiscriminately. She wants to grasp the warmth, the friendship, and the happiness of being broken by others.

After Lin Mozhi made the call, Meng He went without hesitation, although she couldn't help Lin Mozhi now, the Federation of Trade Unions issued a notice a few days ago, unifying the financial expenses of various ministries into the hands of the chairman of the trade union, and implementing a pen for approval, but she still went!

Going is more disappointing than not going, just these days when she was tormented, Geng Lijuan's condition deteriorated rapidly, and it can be concluded that no matter which hospital she is transferred to, she will not survive this summer.

Meng He accompanied Lin Mozhi to shed tears for a while, and did not leave the hospital until he gradually woke up. On the way home, Meng He thought, in fact, I am still happy, at least compared to Geng Lijuan, I have hope.

The car stopped at a long distance from the intersection and waited helplessly, the traffic in Jinjiang is always so bad, you don't want to take a ride quickly. Meng He, who was already surging with a sense of happiness in his body, rolled down the window, wanting to breathe, and also wanted the sun outside to shine on him more happily. So she saw two people at once: in the other car, Xia Yu and Zhuo Mei were sitting together, talking and laughing very intimately.

Back home, Meng He kicked off his shoes in a fit of rage and walked barefoot on the wooden floor. Why, why are they?

Meng He hadn't vented the sucks and anger in his heart, and his son came back. The son also walked in the door with an unhappy face, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was: "Mom, have you eaten with Cao Yuanyuan and her mother?" ”
