Just when Li Jiangbei was determined to find Secretary Pang Bin to report the situation, a special meeting was held in the conference hall of the Provincial Party Committee, and the relocation turmoil alarmed the high-level of the Provincial Party Committee.

Li Jiangbei was also invited to the meeting, along with Xia Wentian and several other veteran comrades. The meeting first listened to the report of the Department of Education on the relocation of Zhabei Higher Education New Village, Li Ximin changed his past appearance, his face was rare confidence and resoluteness, he talked eloquently, and made a report for half an hour. In half an hour, Li Ximin talked about the achievements, involving the crisis caused by the City College, and only said lightly: "Of course, there are many difficulties encountered in the relocation work, but under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the full cooperation of all departments, any difficulties can be overcome." Then he said: "At present, the relocation work has been completed, and more than 50,000 students and more than 4,000 faculty members of the six colleges and universities have all settled in the new campus according to the original plan, and the teaching work is intense and orderly. The second batch of relocated institutions is refining the plan and striving to enter the new campus within this semester. ”

When talking about the construction of the second phase of the Zhabei New Village, Feng Peiming said: "The Zhabei Higher Education New Village is a banner of the province's higher education cause, and this flag cannot be overturned, let alone waved. For a period of time last year, there was a lot of negative public opinion about the construction of the second phase of the project, many people held a wait-and-see and skeptical attitude, and some people deliberately created rumors, saying that the Zhabei Higher Education New Village was a political achievement project and an exaggerated project, and these erroneous remarks had an extremely bad impact on the teachers and students of colleges and universities, causing great harm to our construction work. Up to now, there are still people who hold antagonistic emotions and want to stop this project of great significance in the history of the construction of colleges and universities in Jiangbei. I think that practice has shown that Zhabei Higher Education New Village is in line with the actual development of Jiangbei, and it is a strategic adjustment for Jiangbei's higher education to achieve a second take-off, and it is a ......"

Feng Peiming was still discussing with great foresight, but Li Jiangbei's attention was focused on Secretary Pang's face, and he found that Secretary Pang was in a good mood today, taking a pen to make notes while listening, and from time to time he whispered a few words with Xia Wentian on the side.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and after listening to the reports from all sides, Secretary Pang made a concluding speech. He spoke very briefly, but the central idea was very clear, and there were only two things: First, the relocation of Zhabei Higher Education New Village must be stepped up, and in addition to the first batch of colleges and universities to move in, the relocation time of the second batch of colleges and universities must be advanced, and the progress of the work must be accelerated. Second, the construction of the second phase of the project should be further demonstrated, and more opinions from all quarters should be heard, and the Department of Education should take the lead in this regard, organize more forums and hearings, extensively solicit different opinions, conduct scientific arguments, seek truth from facts, and do as much as it can. However, there is one thing, that is, the construction of the second phase of the project cannot be delayed, and it must be completed according to the original goal, and a brand-new Zhabei must be built.

After Secretary Pang finished speaking, he turned his attention to the old comrades on the stage, asking them to offer good ideas and seek common development. On behalf of the veteran comrades, Xia Wentian made three points: First, it is necessary to fully respect objective facts and adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts. Second, it is necessary to enhance transparency and release information to all sectors of society in a timely manner, so that the people know what is going on in Zhabei New Village. Third, it should be scientific and conform to the provincial conditions.

What Li Jiangbei was looking forward to didn't happen, and after the meeting was over for a long time, he still couldn't come back to his senses, and he always felt that it was not quite right today.

How can this be, can't they all feel abnormal? Especially Secretary Pang, how can he have the same tone as Feng Peiming?

Back to growing up, Li Jiangbei had no intention of working, the more the mystery in his heart gathered, the more he gathered, the more he couldn't solve it, after thinking about it, he still called Sheng An, Sheng An still heard that he was suspicious about this matter, and said with a smile: "When did you start thinking about the thoughts of the leaders, this is not your style of Committee member Li!" ”

Li Jiangbei said: "Secretary-General, it's not me who wants to figure out the leader's thoughts, Zhabei New Village is full of suspicions. ”

"Commissioner Li, don't talk about this, okay?"

"Why don't you talk about it, why don't you talk about it, what else do you want us to investigate?" Li Jiangbei got serious.

"According to your division of labor, just be in charge of Yangtze University, you can't go where you are sensitive."

"No, chief, Yangtze University is not isolated, the problems of Yangtze University are related to the educational environment of the entire Jiangbei, and even more to Zhabei New Village. If the problem of Zhabei New Village cannot be completely solved, even if Yangtze University is straightened out, there will be a second or third Yangtze University. ”

"It won't be so serious, why are you getting more and more pessimistic when you listen to your tone?"

"I'm just pessimistic, if it goes on like this, I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what?"

"I can't talk about it."

"Speak!"

"Chief, I ask to report to you in person."

“…… Alright then, you come to me. ”

40 minutes later, Li Jiangbei rushed to the hotel where Sheng An was still staying, Sheng An was still alone in the room, but there was an extra cup of hot tea on the coffee table, and it seemed that Sheng An had just sent off the guests. Li Jiangbei stared at the cup of tea, stared at it carefully for a while, and wondered in his heart, how could Xia Lao come so quickly to meet Sheng An, what did they talk about just now? I heard that I was coming, why did Xia Lao leave in a hurry?

Sheng An still had insight into his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your eyesight is good, you can tell who it is from a cup of tea." Why don't you have a cup of tea, but I took a lot of trouble to get this tea, and if I miss this opportunity, I won't be able to taste it. ”

Sheng An was still so polite, and Li Jiangbei was uneasy: "Let's keep this tea, I will be ruined if I drink it." ”

"Are you polite, or are you making a fuss?" Sheng An still took out the tea set as he spoke, and wanted to make tea for Li Jiangbei. Li Jiangbei hurriedly stopped, he knew that Sheng An was still telling the truth, this is known as the best Guanyin King of tea, it is indeed difficult to find, a few years ago he gave Xia Lao more than half a catty, which was specially made by the students over there in Tuo'an River.

Sitting down, Li Jiangbei suddenly didn't know what to say, and when he came, he was still puzzled, as if he was still unable to say a few words because Sheng An was still not light, and gradually sank to the bottom of his heart. What floated was another layer of doubt, was he too sensitive, or was the truth of the matter originally hidden in another place, and it was only his eyes that were covered?

"Aren't you in a hurry to find me, why don't you speak?" Sheng An still put away the smile on his face and asked seriously.

"Chief, I'm ......"

"Let's call me the team leader, don't always be the chief and the chief is short, it sounds awkward."

"That ......"

"Can't ask, do you? Let me tell you for you, do you want to ask Secretary Pang why he supports the relocation and has a time limit? And Xia Lao, why don't they oppose it and don't question it? Jiangbei, I shouldn't have talked to you about this in the first place, but since you are so urgent, I will say a few more words today. Sheng An still sat down across from him, pulling out a posture of long talk. Li Jiangbei owed slightly, and listened attentively.

"Your suspicions are correct, there are indeed many problems in Zhabei Higher Education New Village, some of which are even very serious. But have you ever thought about it, Zhabei Higher Education New Village has spent so much money to build a college town, it can't be empty, right? It's not right to cover up the problem, but you can't let the college town built with billions of dollars sit there because there is a problem, and if the students don't move for a day, the college town won't be profitable for a day. It is not terrible to encounter problems in development, but to be frightened by problems. If that is the case, Comrade Pang Binlai will make a big mistake. ”

Li Jiangbei nodded thoughtfully.

Sheng An continued: "We can't look at things with just one kind of vision, things are multifaceted, sometimes we need to wear a mirror to see, sometimes, we need to hold a perspective mirror to see, sometimes, we need to look with backlight and side light, do you know what I mean?" ”

Li Jiangbei was silent, and his heart seemed to have been touched.

"Okay, these issues are not for you and me to discuss, I believe that Comrade Pang Binlai is more anxious than you and me. I still have the same old saying, you have to get to the bottom of the problems of Yangtze University as soon as possible, and this is your job as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. ”

As soon as the topic returned to Yangtze University, Li Jiangbei's brows tightened again, and after hesitation, he still said Wu Xiaoxiao's changes. Sheng An still listened to it and sighed long: "Comrade Jiangbei, Ms. Wu's change is reasonable, she is alone, it is too difficult to carry the flag of growing up." Now it's up to you to see if you have the ability to dispel her concerns, solve the mystery in her heart, and regain her lost confidence. Jiangbei, this investigation is a difficult task——"

In the drizzle, Li Jiangbei and Wu Xiaoxiao sat together again.

Yangtze River side leisure square, listen to Yuxuan.

Li Jiangbei ordered a cup of green tea called "Jiangshan Love" and asked for a cup of "Beauty Tears" for Wu Xiaoxiao. The tea and drinks here have a chic name, so you can order them according to your mood. Today, Li Jiangbei is in a bright mood, and the haze and difficulties of many days have gradually dispersed with the deepening of the investigation, and the two conversations with Xia Lao have given him a rational grasp of the confused reality. Today, he deliberately brought Wu Xiaoxiao here, just to open the floodgates in the depths of her thoughts in a relaxed conversation.

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to appreciate it, or her heart had been squeezed too tightly and she couldn't let go of it for a while.

The moment they met, Li Jiangbei found that Wu Xiaoxiao's face was haggard, her black eyes were full of tiredness, her eye circles were black and purple, and a wave of fine lines swayed around the corners of her eyes. For some reason, this face has often sneaked up on him in unexpected ways lately. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when everything is silent, but sometimes, it is inadvertently, such as at work, such as when talking to others, she will make him suddenly stop thinking, and there is only one picture left in his mind, a picture of getting along or meeting her on a certain day, very clear. Sometimes, the picture is illusory as a sigh from her, or a look that is unintentionally revealed, and so on. In short, this face can't be driven away now, and he doesn't want to drive it away, and occasionally he can't help but take the initiative to call her into his imagination.

Li Jiangbei was also scared at first, feeling incredible, how could it be, it didn't make sense! Later, he felt that it had nothing to do with it, no, and he firmly believed that it was not. Late one night he was talking to his wife on the phone, and while they were talking, she suddenly asked, "Are you lonely?" Li Jiangbei admitted it without thinking. The wife immediately said, "Okay, I know you can't bear it." Li Jiangbei panicked, how could he admit to being lonely? hurriedly said: "I'm kidding you, don't take it seriously." The wife changed her tone and said, "I know, of course you won't be lonely, there are so many beautiful female students around you, and there are female colleagues who adore you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Jiangbei hurriedly interrupted her, for fear that his wife's words would hit him somewhere in his heart, but he was clearly out of order, and his speech was reversed, and he lost his previous calmness and calmness, and he was far less calm than before. Fortunately, his wife quickly stopped joking and talked to him about her daughter. As he talked, he was distracted again and coldly, and asked something that made his wife angry: "Is it day or night over there?" The wife said angrily on the other end of the phone: "Li Jiangbei, you are deliberately angry with me, why don't you know to ask your daughter about her studies?" ”

It's messy! Li Jiangbei was sure that his life was in chaos. At the very least, he has deviated from the track, from the clear direction he has set for himself.

He is a person with a direction, whether he lives or works, he fixes himself on a track, and does not allow himself to take a wrong step.

However......

Wu Xiaoxiao sat quietly, the rain outside had nothing to do with her, listening to Yuxuan's soothing music had nothing to do with her, and even the slightly old man in front of her had nothing to do with her. She was still in her own thoughts, still in her own encounters.

Wu Xiaoxiao can't help but admit that she has encountered a predicament, a huge predicament. At the time of **, Wu Xiaoxiao, a rich girl, would never have imagined that there would be difficulties in her life, let alone that there was a bridge in this world that she couldn't cross. At that time, she was so full of fighting spirit, one person commanded a large enterprise, commanded thousands of people, rushed to kill everywhere, and operated Wu's enterprises in Southeast Asia in full swing, almost taking 80% of the market in Southeast Asia. Her father often reminded her distressedly: "Xiao'er, take it easy, don't be tired." She smiled heartily and said with a manly demeanor: "Dad, don't worry, Xiaoxiao is iron-beaten." ”

She is indeed iron-clad, in the past 36 years, except for when she was a child, she worried her father and her family, and when she went to middle school, she began to be fearless. In college and even later, she created miracles that amazed her father with her invincible posture.

Who knows, her steps were blocked in the mainland and at Yangtze University.

Every time she thinks of these, Wu Xiaoxiao can't help but sigh, the past two years of growing up are the darkest and lowest years of her life, she is really afraid that life will enter the darkness from now on, and there will be no end to it......

Li Jiangbei didn't know how many docks Wu Xiaoxiao had worshipped, how many smiling faces she had lost, and even ...... in order to grow up This was by no means her original intention, at the beginning, Wu Xiaoxiao wanted to solve it through legal means, she hired a large team of lawyers, sorted out her father's experience in Jinjiang over the years into a thick pile of materials, and planned to resort to court in a righteous and strict manner. She was soon told that if she did, she would not want to survive when she grew up, let alone hope to develop. She didn't believe it, so she insisted on giving it a try, but as soon as the legal documents were submitted, all kinds of forces rushed to her. Intercession, conciliation, and admonition slowly develop into intimidation, coercion, and even disguised revenge. Once she had evening tea with a lawyer who came to the teahouse, but the door of the box was knocked open, and several policemen took them to the police station in the name of anti-pornography, and tossed them for a day and a night. That's not all, once she drove to the business school to negotiate, and on the way back, the car suddenly failed, the brakes didn't work, and she almost fell headlong into the river!

Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, Wu Xiaoxiao began to savor this sentence. Two months later, she disbanded the lawyers' group.

Just when she was exhausted by these things, someone came to her door and suggested that if she could follow some unspoken rules, a series of problems at Yangtze University could be solved amicably. It is to let her forget the past and start from scratch.

Personal strength is limited, Wu Xiaoxiao has been in contact with Li Ximin, director of the Department of Education, several times, and finally admitted that ** experience cannot help her deal with the big matter in front of her. It's not that Li Ximin threatened her, Li Ximin's words are very pertinent: "We don't stop you from following the law, but if you think about it, once you resort to the law, you will be surrounded by endless investigation and evidence collection, and this case may drag on for three or five years, during which time you don't want to do anything, the law can afford to wait, you can't afford to wait." Think for yourself, I'm probably not entirely right. ”

Later, she realized that they were right. Those old professors also advised her to calm things down, even if you win the lawsuit, what can you do, I'm afraid that by then, the brand of growing up will be long gone.

One day, Vice Minister Ge of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee unexpectedly met with her, accompanied by an official from the Ministry of Education. That conversation completely changed her attitude, and Wu Xiaoxiao finally realized that she was not facing a certain person, but a powerful force, which was omnipresent and even omnivenous...... She decided to give up the pursuit of her father's investments, and the money was lost, and she could earn it again, she just wanted to get the legal status to grow up, and the land she had bought with all her belongings. It's a pity that she ignored an important link in the process of buying land, but in fact, it was not neglected, someone deliberately made a trap for her to drill into it. The land had to be listed for trading, but her lawyer didn't remind her, and the relevant staff said that the land was legal, the procedures were complete, and all the links had been opened in advance, so there was no need to worry. As a result, at the critical moment, all those links that were opened up went wrong, and her land purchase contract was seized by the land department, and the matter entered the investigation procedure.

The so-called investigation is procrastination, that is, forcing her to comply. Some people are afraid that she will not leave in the mainland, and some people are even more afraid that she will bite back afterwards, and everyone hopes that she will leave Jinjiang as soon as possible, leave Jiangbei, and return to **. Growing up was forever with her father!

She was unwilling and secretly pinned her hopes on Zhou Zhengqun, but before she could reflect the situation to Zhou Zhengqun, Zhou Zhengqun had already ......

Now, Li Jiangbei is bent on intervening in this matter and wants to get the truth from her mouth, can she say?

A voice sounded in her ears again: "Li Jiangbei is a dangerous person, if you don't want to make things more complicated, it's best to stay away from him!" ”

It was Vice Minister Ge's secretary who said this, but it was never the secretary who said this, she believed that the secretary was just a microphone, and the one standing behind her was the more difficult force to deal with!

On this day, Wu Xiaoxiao had the opportunity to express the doubts and contradictions in her heart, but unfortunately, she gave up this opportunity and rejected the possibility of Li Jiangbei approaching her. This led her to a detour again.

Wu Xiaoxiao's later series of contradictions, as well as unbelievable actions, are all related to this mistake.
