Xia Keke told his grandfather and mother a ridiculous thing.

On the afternoon of that day, the party office and the school office of Jiangbei University jointly held a special meeting, at which a decision of the party committee of the university was announced: Xia Keke was suspected of engaging in fraud in the election of the president of the student union, and the party committee of the university decided to remove him from the post of chairman of the student union.

"Malpractice?" Xia Wentian glared at his granddaughter in shock, not understanding how this word could be deducted from his precious granddaughter's head.

"Grandpa, this is revenge and framing!" Xia Keke choked up and said with grievances.

Xia Wentian didn't echo Coco, this news was so unexpected, he never thought that such a funny thing would happen in the dignified Jiangbei University.

"But don't worry, grandpa is in charge of you." Xia Yu hugged her daughter distressedly and comforted. When she accompanied her daughter to change clothes just now, Coco cried in her arms, Coco grew so big, she rarely shed tears, and said that she looked like a boy, her personality was more similar, and she followed her grandfather in the world. Unexpectedly, this time, she actually ran back home from school crying.

"No, I'll have to ask." After Xia Wentian finished speaking, he was about to go out.

Xia Yu hurriedly stopped him: "Dad, such a heavy rain, where are you going to ask, who to ask?" ”

"Whoever removed my granddaughter's chairman, I ask whom!" Xia Wentian, who was still with a sullen face just now, suddenly became angry, if it was said that the Commission for Discipline Inspection "Shuanggui" Kong Qingyun, he could still accept it according to the organizational principles, but he couldn't accept this encounter anyway. But in his heart, he is heavier than Kong Qingyun! "Why?" He said hatefully again, and asked Coco to get him clothes.

Xia Keke hesitated: "Grandpa, don't be impulsive first, if you go out like this, you will frighten people." ”

"Scary? I'm just going to scare these fanning people! ”

"Dad-" Xia Yu forced his father back into the chair, "Coco, go and pour a cup of hot water." Xia Keke didn't dare to play with his temper, if he really stirred up his grandfather's fire, Jiangbei University wouldn't want to be stable. She has caused enough trouble these days, as soon as the relationship with her father is exposed, there will be a whirlwind among the classmates of Jiangbei University, if the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the chairman of the provincial CPPCC are allowed to make a big fuss, then she will really be embarrassed to study at Jiangbei University again.

"Grandpa, let's get rid of your anger. Didn't you teach us to be calm when things happen, but you yourself are not calm. When Coco saw that his grandfather was so angry, he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said carefully.

Xia Yu also took advantage of the situation to persuade his father: "Dad, it's okay if this student union president is not right, I'm afraid that it will affect Coco's learning." ”

"Yu'er, these are two different things!" Xia Wentian shouted at his daughter, and thought again, this fire should not be sent at his own family, "Forget it, I told you that you don't understand." ”

Xia Yu whispered on the side: "Dad, I understand. ”

Xia Wentian's anger receded by half: "Yu'er, they didn't come to Chong Keke, they are ...... This is Chong Qingyun and me! ”

How could Xia Yu not understand, it's just that she didn't want to think in this direction, let alone add fuel to the fire, she had to find a way to calm her father. If my father messes around, Qingyun's side will probably be more hopeless.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Xia Keke said "I'll go", ran out and opened the door. She didn't expect that the person standing outside the door was Qiang Zhongxing, the head of the Propaganda Department of Jiangbei University!

"...... you" Xia Keke was stunned at the door, and he didn't expect to meet Coco here, and he was a little stunned for a while. Then Xia Yu, who came out, said enthusiastically: "It's Teacher Qiang, please come in." ”

On this day, he made a special trip to visit Xia Lao, and secondly, he had a lot of doubts about Kong Qingyun's corruption case, and there were some things that he had to talk to Xia Wentian. Xia Keke didn't know that this unlikable teacher had a deep relationship with her grandfather's family, but her grandfather and mother never told her about this relationship.

When I was a child, the Qiang family and the Xia family were neighbors, and they lived in the area of Wenhuiyuan in Chunjiang City. The Xia family has many children, and the strong family has only one strong line. Qiang Zhongxing is a few years younger than Xia Yu, playing together when they are young, Qiang Zhongxing always follows Xia Yu's buttocks, calling her Sister Yu, if she doesn't shout well, she will be beaten by the two boys of Xia Yu's family. At the beginning, Xia Yu was 8 years old and Qiang Zhongxing was 5 years old, their parents were pulled out by the rebels on the same day, and after squatting in the cowshed for a year, Xia Wentian was sent to a village called Luowan in Jianglong County, not far from Wangtian Village, across a mountain. Qiang Zhongxing's father was sent to Zhangping County. The movement finally ended, and Xia Wentian returned to Chunjiang alive, but his father, who was forced to go to the middle, stayed forever at the foot of a mountain called Ma'eryan in Zhangping, where he was beaten to death by the crazy rebels. Qiang's mother was 38 years old at the time, but she had gray hair and was blind from crying. If it weren't for Xia Wentian's family secretly helping, the mother and son would have been difficult to get through those difficult years. Later, although he was rehabilitated, his father could never come back. In the year Xia Wentian returned to the leadership position, he forced Zhongxing to leave Chunjiang and go to Beijing to study, and soon after, his mother left the world. This weather-beaten woman was not yet 50 years old when she died.

"Sit inside." Xia Wentian was also a little shocked when he saw Qiang Zhongxing.

Qiang Zhongxing glanced at Xia Yu and followed Xia Wentian into the study. Coco wanted to follow up, but was stopped by her mother: "Go back to your room, he is looking for grandpa, what is your hurry." ”

"He's our leader, I want to hear about me."

"What's the matter with you?"

"My chairman, I can't let them be removed like this, I was voted for by my classmates, and they are breaking the law." Xia Keke said seriously.

Xia Yu dragged her daughter back to the bedroom, sent a glass of water to the study, gently closed the door, and sat in the corner of the room. It seems that the arrival of this man touched her something.

In the study, Qiang Zhongxing sat upright, it seemed that since he was four or five years old, Xia Wentian's serious and majestic face was imprinted in Qiang Zhongxing's mind, decades have passed, and when he saw Xia Wentian, he still felt his legs trembling and his eyes trembling like when he was a child.

"What are you shaking, I'm so terrible? Say, what's the matter. He threw a word to Qiang Zhongxing, and his gaze went over Qiang Zhongxing's head and onto the bookcase. There is an old photo on it, which is a group photo of the two of them before "**". The strong line in the photo is simple and cute.

"About the principal, I suspect someone is obstructing." Qiang Zhongxing finally opened his mouth.

"Oh?" Xia Wentian exclaimed in surprise, his eyes staring suspiciously at Qiang Zhongxing's face.

Qiang Zhongxing stopped talking again, he was thinking about how to tell the doubts in his heart.

Xia Wentian waited for a while, a little impatient: "Speak!" He spat out a word in his habitual tone.

Qiang Zhongxing didn't dare to swallow it anymore, owed it, and told several doubts about Kong Qingyun's acceptance of bribes.

The same confusion is actually hidden in Xia Wentian's heart, but he didn't say it so clearly, and he didn't analyze it so thoroughly. After Qiang Zhongxing finished speaking, Xia Wentian let out a long breath, it seemed that the mystery in his heart was a little loose, and it seemed to be tied tighter. Is all this true or false?

Qiang Zhongxing said: "Calligraphy and painting are likely to be a conspiracy. The principal himself doesn't like calligraphy and painting, he doesn't have this Yaxing, he doesn't have this mood, and more importantly, hobbies take time and energy, and he can't afford it. Since he became vice president, he has been carrying the heaviest burden in the team, he is in charge of teaching and infrastructure, which are two very painstaking tasks, not to mention that he is also responsible for the exchange and talent training in physics, and he also has to teach the graduate school, and he has five doctoral students with him. His time is measured almost by the second, so how can he have the leisure to hobby anything else? ”

"I don't understand this, since he doesn't have leisure, how can calligraphy and painting be in his office?" Xia Wentian asked.

Qiang Zhongxing explained that as the vice president in charge of academic affairs and infrastructure, Kong Qingyun has a lot of entertainment throughout the year, and it is normal for universities to exchange gifts with academic units, and even between international friends in business exchanges. Not only Kong Qingyun, but other leaders of Jiangbei University, including him, also have a lot of calligraphy and paintings in the office. Professors, no more than bosses and no more officials, most of the things sent back and forth are calligraphy and paintings, as if only by sending this can they show that they have knowledge and culture. In fact, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and there are few valuable ones. Kong Qingyun's office is really special, and it is precisely because of it that it makes people think about it more. Qiang Zhongxing made two guesses: first, Kong Qingyun didn't know about this calligraphy and painting, even if someone bribed him and spent a lot of money to buy it, Kong Qingyun would only accept it as an ordinary gift. Otherwise, he would not so casually throw a calligraphy and painting worth millions of yuan into the pile of calligraphy and paintings. Second, Qiang Zhongxing made an extremely bold guess, the calligraphy and painting were not bribed by others at all, they were deliberately framed by someone, and they were put into the office unknowingly after Kong Qingyun was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection!

The second speculation, while it sounds absurd, is more likely, according to Qiang Zhongxing.

Regarding accepting a bribe of 4 million yuan from the construction unit, Qiang Zhongxing insisted that this was a lie, a false idea, and a pure fabrication. "I've worked with the principal for so many years, and I still don't know his character? Don't say 4 million, it's 40 million, and others don't want to send it in. Qiang Zhongxing was a little impulsive when he said this, his throat seemed to be smoking, he took a sip of water, and then said: "Yes, Jiangbei University is engaged in a project of more than one billion yuan, and it is said that it is possible to get 4 million or 40 million yuan, but the president is not such a person, otherwise, the old president would not dare to hand over this work to him to be in charge." At the beginning, in order to compete for the right to manage the infrastructure, the team was very nervous, the school and the Department of Education disagreed, and the division of labor could not be determined for a long time. ”

This Huoqiang Zhongxing is right, and the facts are true, Xia Wentian is not old enough to lose his memory, in order to decide this matter, President Jiang Dayuan asked for his opinion, and Zhou Zhengqun also asked for his opinion, he did not approve of letting Qingyun be in charge, Zhou Zhengqun considered it, and finally decided to let Qingyun be in charge.

As for bribing Vice Governor Zhou for the election of president, Qiang Zhongxing used a very radical word: political frame-up! "I really can't imagine, how many years have passed since '**', why are people still keen on this set? Fighting persecution is their usual method! ”

Xia Wentian hurriedly stopped: "Xiaoqiang, this has nothing to do with '**', just talk about it." ”

"Why doesn't it matter? This is their usual method, killing two birds with one stone, not only bringing down the principal, but also framing Vice Governor Zhou. Despicable, shameful! "Qiang Zhongxing has long been unrestrained, once this person is excited, it turns out that he is also very bloody, and it is the first time Xia Wentian has seen him so excited.

Then, Qiang Zhongxing told Xia Wentian the fact that the painting by Vice Governor Zhou was indeed given by Kong Qingyun, but not in his personal name, but in the name of Jiangbei University. Jiangbei University and a university in Singapore are friendship colleges, and the other party organized a delegation to visit Jiangbei University, and in order to show its grandeur, the school would like to invite Vice Governor Zhou to come forward to receive it. According to the custom, the school should prepare a gift for Vice Governor Zhou to give to each other. chose to choose, and chose the calligraphy and painting brought by Kong Qingyun from **.

"This gift was decided by the old principal, and on the day it was sent, I accompanied Principal Kong to Vice Governor Zhou's house, and the calligraphy and paintings were handed over to Vice Governor Zhou by myself." Qiang Zhongxing said.

"Then why don't you make it clear to the organization?" When Xia Wentian heard this, this was a valuable clue and asked.

"Organization? Who of them cares about the facts? I reported to the party committee of the school that Comrade Chu Yuliang snorted and said that he was also a member of the team, why hadn't he heard of it in the first place? I went to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but Secretary Jin Ziyang didn't give me a chance to clarify the facts at all, and I couldn't even see his face! ”

Seeing that Qiang Zhongxing was getting more and more excited, Xia Wentian hurriedly interjected: "Xiaoqiang, I can understand your feelings, but the provincial party committee made such a decision, it is not groundless and unfactual, so let's not get excited, facts are facts, it can't run." I'm worried, will Qingyun hide something from us? When Xia Wentian said this, he thought of the phone call made by Liu Mingjian again, and thought of the owner of the decoration company named Hu Ade.

He still couldn't figure out why Hu Ade stood up to accuse Qingyun and Zhou Zhengqun, it should be said that Zhou Zhengqun and he are still old acquaintances. At the critical moment, Zhou Zhengqun also saved him. How did he ......

The conversation lasted for more than two hours, during which Xia Yu came in a few times, refilled the water and went out again. Every time Xia Yu came in, Qiang Zhongxing's face would be nervous once, and once in the middle, he almost knocked over the water glass. It's a pity that Xia Wentian was too dull this day, although he saw it, he mistakenly thought that Qiang Zhongxing was nervous because of him. It was Xia Keke who said to her mother strangely: "Mom, why do you look so flustered?" ”

Qiang Zhongxing and Xia Wentian talked about the first three articles, and the fourth, that is, the scandal between Kong Qingyun and the foreign female professor Martha, Xia Wentian didn't ask, and he didn't talk about it. Later, he thought that even if Xia Wentian asked, he would not talk about this question. Because he thinks that this one is even more absurd than the first three.

When he was about to leave, Xia Wentian suddenly asked about Coco's dismissal from the school, and Qiang Zhongxing just said lightly: "This student union president, it's okay if it's not appropriate." ”
