The contract was negotiated between Du Yuwu and Qian Xiaotong, Qian Xiaotong really brought Mencius Ge, Mencius must have felt that he had a big face, and he was extremely excited, and asked Du Yuwu this and that from time to time, his lips dyed crimson were like two petals, one opening and one closing, and the frequency was used very quickly. Du Yuwu was quite patient, carefully read the contract they had prepared, and then took out a number of regulations on propaganda work formulated by the organizing committee of the festival, and told them one by one. After speaking, I talked about a few points against the contract, and asked them to take it back and change it, and they must meet the requirements of the festival, otherwise someone will find fault. Mencius Ge asked what year to change, it was really troublesome. Du Yuwu replied that time must be hurried, this is not a troublesome problem, but it must conform to the principle. It also hinted that more than a dozen companies are competing at the moment, and the slow half-step project can be in the hands of others. Qian Xiaotong said that no one will be faster than us, so let's change it.

The news of the accident came out early the next morning, and Du Yuwu was the first to call, when Yu Youan was still sleeping and sleeping in the hotel. I can't go back to home, Fang Zhuoya won't let me go back, saying that out of sight is clean, whoever loves to drill the quilt will go to drill, she doesn't care anymore. Yu Youan wanted to wait for this period of time to pass, and then explain to Fang Zhuoya after everything calmed down, he really hadn't done anything with Zhang Shan, and he didn't even dare to think about it recently.

Yu Youan saw that it was not yet six o'clock, so he grabbed the phone angrily, and said to Du Yuwu: "What is so noisy that people can't sleep?" ”

Du Yuwu's voice was quite nervous: "Director, I just got news from the Public Security Bureau that the surname Qian died." ”

"What?!" Yu Youan rolled over and asked with a shocked face, "Dead?" ”

"Yes, I fell from the balcony of Mencius's singer's house, and my head hit the curb of the road, and the scene was very miserable."

"How so?!" The phone in Yu Youan's hand fell, and he felt that his body bones were scattered. For a long time, the six gods had no master and said, "No one wants him to die, how can this be?!" ”

It was followed by Shang Linfeng, and his voice was a little excited: "Director, I can't imagine it, he is dead, and the surname Qian is dead!" ”

"Old Shang ...... Overdoing it, why does it sound like you're nobody? Yu Youan forcibly suppressed the fear and anger in his heart, he thought that the thing was really done by Shang Linfeng.

Shang Linfeng laughed out loud: "The director is too worried, Qian Xiaotong slept with Mencius Ge, and the surnamed Nan took someone to catch the adulterer, Qian Xiaotong was afraid of being castrated, so he escaped from the window, and as a result, he fell down." ”

Yu Youan felt that he was listening to myths, and even more suspected that Shang Linfeng was fooling him with nonsense, so he interrupted sharply: "Okay, what does this have to do with you!" ”

When I got to work, it spread throughout the city. This matter is quite exciting, the real situation is that after Mencius and Qian Xiaotong left the festival office, they went to Mencius Ge's house, and they were busy all afternoon, and when they were about to eat, Nan Batian called and asked Mencius to eat. Mencius hesitated for a long time, but still told a lie. told Nan Batian that she was in the provincial capital, with a friend she hadn't seen for many years, and specially emphasized that she was a woman. Who knew that in the evening, Nan Batian received a text message, saying that Mencius and Qian Xiaotong had spent a good night together. Nan Batian was enraged, and he repeatedly emphasized to Mencius that any woman who followed him could not have a leg with another man. Nanba Angel called Mencius Ge's phone, the mobile phone was turned off, and no one answered at home, which made him restless all night, and suddenly led someone to Mencius's house when it was almost dawn, and the knock on the door woke up the two sleeping people. At first, he thought it was Mencius Ge's husband, Qian Xiaotong was so frightened that he hid in the bathroom, but later he heard that it was Nan Batian, Qian Xiaotong didn't dare to hide, and Mencius didn't dare to let him hide. Her house is on the fourth floor, the balcony faces the street, the third floor is below the pavement, and there is a small platform on the third floor, one meter wide, if you are skilled, you can jump down in one step. Who knew that Qian Xiaotong's skills were not proficient, and the plastic pipe he used to grip the hand was too strong, and it broke at the first touch, so he jumped over the small platform and fell directly onto the road.

The police concluded that this is the case.

Yu Youan soon received a funny text message, saying that Mencius Ge's pair of "chest weapons" were really powerful, and he killed Qian Xiaotong alive. There are also peony flowers under the death of ghosts or something, it seems that no one sympathizes with the deceased, people only care about how fierce the pair of "breasts" is?

A picture came to Yu Youan's mind, indeed, he had to admit that it was a pair of "murder weapons", very powerful!

Many days have passed, and Yu Youan and Zhang Shan stood at the foot of the Virgin Peak of Tianzhu Mountain, which is where they stood together last time.

Zhang Shan was obviously much thinner than before, and he was also haggard. Anyway, the fall incident still hit her hard, and she had almost no strength to take care of the aftermath, if it weren't for Du Yuwu and Wang Linde's help, I am afraid that the body would not even be sent to the crematorium.

A person left the world like this, right or wrong, Zhang Shan still didn't want him to die, at least he shouldn't die like this, so bloody.

Yu Youan has not been in contact with Zhang Shan these days, he can't contact him, both sides of the accident are related to him, and there are many stories about him in the rumors, and some people even replaced the knock on the door to catch the adulterer with him, and he told it vividly and vividly. During this time, he was as sluggish as Zhang Shan, but fortunately, this turmoil did not hurt the fatal place, and everyone quickly threw it over in a laughing conversation.

The grief was left to Zhang Shan alone.

The wind blew and hit his face, the autumn was already cold, Yu Youan walked over and put his coat on Zhang Shan's body. Zhang Shan moved, raised his head, and looked at the twenty-two monuments in the distance.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Shan." Yu Youan seemed to use all his strength to spit out such a sentence.

This sentence has been pressing on his heart, and the moment he hit the incident, he wanted to say it, to say it to her sincerely, to tell her with a strong sense of guilt, but did he have the courage to say it?

Zhang Shan slowly turned around, looked at Yu You'an blankly, didn't seem to understand what he said, and was silent for a long time, she said: "When I die in the future, will there be such a monument?" ”

Yu Youan was startled, stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Shan's forehead, stretched out halfway and retracted it. He now didn't even have the courage to touch her, his hands were stained with sin, and he could no longer reach out to this innocent and poor woman.

If he didn't move that kind of mind, if he didn't tell Shang Linfeng that phone call, if he ......

There are no ifs, everything happens irreversibly.

Yu Youan wanted to cry. For the dead, for the living, for themselves, and for all those who are struggling in officialdom.

On this day, when they went down the mountain, they met Li Xiang, Li Xiang's face was like a withered tree, and he went to worship the Buddha. There is a temple in the south of the mountain, offering a Bodhisattva, it is said that it is a minister in Nanzhou in the hands of Kangxi Ye to fund the repair, very spiritual. Yu Youan also worshipped, and many people in Nanzhou worshipped.

Li Xiang saw them from a distance, twisted his head, and pretended not to see the distance. Yu Youan pretended to lift his shoes and deliberately rubbed for a while, and when he raised his head, he saw Du Yuwu and An Xiaozhe hurriedly walking towards him.

Lu Mingyang is going to Beijing.

There is an important work in the festival, to invite experts and leaders in Beijing to attend, to add glory to Nanzhou, this matter was handed over to Yu You'an, Yu Youan also determined the date and itinerary, Lu Mingyang suddenly changed the work plan, to go to the capital in person, Yu You'an as an accompaniment, with him.

When he was about to get on the plane, Yu Youan suddenly found that Gu Yu was also coming, and smiled at him from afar. Yu Youan hurried over and took the bag from Gu Yu's hand.

"It's such a coincidence, Xiaogu, we rushed together." Lu Mingyang said with a smile as if he had just discovered Gu Yu, and at the same time swept his gaze to Yu Youan, Yu Youan hurriedly said, "How can it be called a book without coincidence, Gu Taichang is so blessed to be able to fly with the secretary." ”

"Oh, it's flying with Uncle Yu. When you get to Beijing, you can't leave me, you want to be bare-washed, isn't it, Uncle Yu? ”

Yu Youan felt that he had been slapped in the mouth, this uncle was really no big or small. But he said happily: "As long as you have time, follow us every day." ”

"Really, that's decided!" Gu Yu screamed excitedly, and two dazzling reds flew out of his face.

When he arrived on the plane, Yu Youan was uncomfortable, with his eyes open, he felt like a thief, and he felt rude if he didn't open his eyes. Lu Mingyang was still considerate of him and said: "If you are sleepy, you will squint for a while, there is a small valley, not lonely." He closed his eyes in reassurance. closed his eyes but didn't dare to really fall asleep, and paid attention to the movements around him at any time, but fortunately, Lu Mingyang and Gu Yu didn't make any noise along the way.

After getting off the plane, Director Tang of the Nanzhou Beijing Office led people to wait outside the airport, Yu Youan didn't tell Cao Dongna because he was guarding against this in advance, but only walked over pretending to be official and greeted Director Tang. After the three cars left the airport, he sent a text message to Cao Dongna, telling her to go to Beijing with the secretary, and asking her to make arrangements at the right time to see if she could meet with Guo Ju and them. Cao Dongna quickly texted back, saying that this was a good thing and that she would do her best.

The hotel where he stayed was opposite the Nanzhou Beijing Office, across the road, Yu You'an was on the thirteenth floor, Lu Mingyang was on the eighteenth floor, Gu Yu said that he already had a place and did not need to be arranged by Director Tang. Looking at what she said seriously, Yu Youan didn't talk much, in fact, he was like a mirror in his heart, Director Tang took three room cards instead of two, and sure enough, after being polite for a while, Gu Yu followed Lu Mingyang upstairs. Yu Youan is very grateful to Director Tang, if it is arranged on the same floor, it will be embarrassing.

That night, Lu Mingyang called Yu You'an, saying that he didn't have to follow him in the past two days, he had personal matters to deal with, and he wanted Yu Youan to go to the ministry as soon as possible, and he must hurry up on the matter of applying for the World Heritage Site. Yu Youan said yes again and again, and sure enough, he didn't dare to go to the eighteenth floor for two days. On the first day, he went to the ministry and reported to Director Fu on the work of applying for the World Heritage Site, Fu Huanian said that the ministry was also very interested in the 22 stone tablets in Lijiayan, thinking that it was more valuable than seal carving, and discussed whether it could focus on protecting this and use seal carving as a supplement or backup? Yu Youan said: "Everything that listens to the director, as long as you don't let me fail." ”

"How could it be in vain, not to mention anything else, just our friendship can't let you run so many times in vain, right?"

Yu Youan hurriedly took out the invitation letter and handed it over respectfully, saying that the secretary and mayor had repeatedly told him that others could not be invited, and if Director Fu could not invite Nanzhou, he, the director of the Cultural Bureau, would take the blame and resign. Fu Huanian's heart was so excited that he had to invite him to dinner. Yu Youan said that how can I ask the director to invite all the comrades in the department, I will be the east, and celebrate in advance. Fu Huanian said, the twenty or thirty people in my department are not afraid of eating up Director Yu's old capital? Yu You'an said, Nanzhou is so big, I'm afraid you will eat it? said that Fu Huanian asked him to shout at the comrades in the ministry, but Fu Huanian didn't shirk much, and informed them one by one, saying that he would see him in Desheng Building at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The next day, I was going to see Cao Dongna, but when I got up in the morning, the liver suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt a dull pain. Yu Youan didn't dare to take it lightly, he had hidden this problem for a long time, and he didn't dare to tell anyone, even Fang Zhuoya hid it. In June last year, he went to the No. 1 Provincial Hospital for examination, and the doctor said that his condition was not very good, and recommended that he be hospitalized for observation. Yu Youan shook his head resolutely, and simply prescribed some medicine and came back. Officials are different from other people, and it is said that it is a big taboo to have a disorder, and they must also stand up to the appearance of healthy people. According to Yu You'an's grasp, there are not a few people in Nanzhou who hide diseases like him, and Hua Guorui is a typical example. But he also believes that if Hua Guorui is still on the stage, his body must still be great, and the stage is more important than anything else, and it is more effective than medicine. After thinking for a while, Yu Youan called Dr. He and talked about his symptoms lightly, Dr. He suggested that he go to the hospital immediately for examination, Yu Youan smiled and said: "It's not that serious, Dr. He, don't worry, this time I came to Beijing just a little free, I want you to introduce me to a doctor, a little problem, take some medicine to ensure that it works." Dr. He said the name and phone number of a doctor, and repeatedly told him that after checking what the results were, I must tell him, as if he had discovered that Yu You'an had an incurable disease. Yu Youan smiled, doctors always like to exaggerate, emphasizing the harm of the disease, just like their officials emphasize difficulties and resistance, at least ten times magnified. When he arrived at the hospital, Yu Youan quickly contacted the doctor, fortunately, he worked hard for a day, did five examinations, and ruled out liver lesions, and the doctor determined that it was intercostal neuralgia, and advised him to quit drinking and smoking, strengthen exercise, don't overwork, pay attention to rest, relax and stay optimistic.

Yu Youan said that he must be sure, but he thought in his heart that he couldn't do anything else except quit smoking.

On the third day, he couldn't wait for Lu Mingyang's call, Yu Youan was uneasy, but he didn't dare to go upstairs. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Dongna suddenly called, and told him with great interest that the couple and Guo Ju were with Secretary Lu. This time I was a little free, so I called him to let him know. Yu Youan hurriedly asked what was going on? Cao Dongna criticized him with a smile: "You'an, you are too responsible for the secretary, let him run the gang." Yu Youan said, "No, there is also Gu Yu." Cao Dongna said, "Just that little girl, I went to Beijing TV, saying that I wanted to invite Beijing TV to your Nanzhou Festival meeting." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and asked, "What does that little girl have to do with your secretary, why do I think it's weird." Yu Youan said, "What relationship you say, what kind of relationship you say, how dare I talk about the secretary's hobby." Cao Dongna made it clear. Yu Youan asked again why they were with Lu Mingyang? Cao Dongna explained that she and Zheng Xinyuan went to find Guo Ju and happened to bump into Lu Mingyang in Zheng Xinyuan's office.

"The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee is about to hold a special training class for the secretary of the municipal party committee at the Central Party School, and the requirements are very strict, and the conditions are limited to death, and Lu Mingyang is here for this."

Yu Youan sighed, no wonder Lu Mingyang suddenly changed his plan, it turned out to be for this.

That night, Cao Dongna and his wife held a banquet to invite Lu Mingyang and Guo Jianming, and when they were about to eat, Gu Yu came and brought a beautiful woman from Beijing Taiyi. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite lively, about the matter of the special training class had been finalized, Lu Mingyang was in a good mood, and he proposed to have a lively drink. As he spoke, he called Director Tang of the Beijing Office and asked him to bring a few boxes of Nanzhou local wine. Cao Dongna said that when the secretary arrived in Beijing, he did not forget to promote Nanzhou, which is really admirable. Lu Mingyang said that he was really embarrassed to drink your wine, of course, he also wanted to invite a few leaders to taste Nanzhou's wine, and do more publicity for Nanzhou in the future. Cao Dongna originally insisted on going to Moutai, but when she heard Lu Mingyang say this, she agreed. Waiting for the wine, the topic revolved around Nanzhou, first talking about the upcoming folk culture festival, and then talking about the profound culture of Nanzhou, Guo Jianming cleverly and tactfully pushed Yu Youan to the table, saying that Nanzhou is full of talents, and a talented person like You'an, even if he arrives in the capital, at least he is the director. Cao Dongna also helped, You'an is a fool to do learning, he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, how can he let the secretary go around alone, if I am the secretary, I will remove him from his post when I go back. Lu Mingyang naturally knew what a few people meant, and it seemed that it would not work if he didn't express his position, so he said: "Don't underestimate You'an, he is not only a scholar, not only an expert in culture, but also has many strengths, especially in terms of comprehensive coordination and service, Nanzhou can not keep up with him, not much." Cao Dongna seized the opportunity and said, "You'an, what are you still doing in a daze, do you hear the meaning, the secretary wants you to give full play to your comprehensive coordination ability, what about the wine, toast quickly." ”

As he was talking, Director Tang entered the private room with the wine, and Cao Dongna personally asked Yu Youan to respectfully toast Lu Mingyang with six glasses, saying that it was six or six high promotions, and looked forward to the secretary coming to Beijing as soon as possible. Lu Mingyang drank excitedly and said politely: "How can you have your own wine and drink it yourself, You'an, you don't even have to distinguish between inside and outside, you should turn the muzzle of the gun and go out to the outside." ”

"Who is outside, Secretary Lu is going to shoot at us, what are you doing in a daze, Guo Bureau, let's go together, let Secretary Lu surrender the gun first."

The atmosphere of the dinner immediately became lively, Lu Mingyang drank a lot on this day, Xu is people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they are not drunk. When the dinner was over and sent to the hotel, Yu Youan saw with his own eyes that Cao Dongna stuffed a card into Lu Mingyang's hand, and said: "You'an is my dearest old classmate, closer than my husband, if he is not productive in Nanzhou, I can rely on your secretary." Lu Mingyang said through the wine, "Your younger brother of Chief Cao, how dare I treat it slowly, your words are the holy decree, and I will do it when I go back." ”

Yu Youan was halfway through the wine, and the boulder that was pressed in his heart moved away, and he hurriedly ran over, wanting to support Lu Mingyang. Lu Mingyang held Guo Jianming's hand again and said a lot of thanks, then let go and said: "Welcome to Nanzhou, if you come, you will find You'an, if he is not well entertained, let him be the director of the Cultural Bureau." ”

The trip to Beijing was quite pleasant, the leaders and guests who should be invited were invited one by one, and the relationship that should be communicated has also been communicated, Yu Youan ruled out his illness again, and got the affirmative reply, and the mood was really comfortable.

Gu Yu didn't come back on the same plane with them, saying that he would stay in Beijing for a few days, Yu Youan estimated that Lu Mingyang was afraid of being bumped into after arriving at Haizhou Airport, and he was still very careful about his image. Yu Youan has already begun to think about Lu Mingyang from the details, and he wants to enter the role earlier.

Sitting on the plane, Yu Youan took care of Lu Mingyang diligently, showing a good quality of serving the leader, Lu Mingyang enjoyed and appreciated at the same time, and said in his heart, this person will not choose the wrong one, if he chooses the wrong one, then he will be laughing and generous. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Mingyang suddenly asked: "By the way, You'an, there is something I have always forgotten to ask, did Mr. Fang from Taiwan donate some works some time ago, and you were responsible for accepting it, right?" ”

Yu You'an's mind was buzzing, and he was a little confused, how could Lu Mingyang think of asking this again, isn't it?

After pondering for a while, he replied with a smile: "I have always wanted to report this matter to the secretary, Mr. Fang went out before liberation, and was the youngest painter of Nanzhou Painting Academy at that time, and now he is ninety-eight years old, he has a pure heart, and he has always been obsessed with Nanzhou, and his homesickness is very strong......

"Talk about paintings." Lu Mingyang emphasized.

Yu Youan didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, and said truthfully: "I donated a batch, Mr. Fang named me to accept it, it should be handed over to the museum at that time, Lao Ning is sick, and his attitude is not too positive, so he will accept it first by the bureau and the Qunyi Museum, and when the festival is over, we will hand it over, secretary, do you see?" ”

Lu Mingyang leaned back, closed his eyes, and didn't give Yu Youan a reply. Yu Youan was very worried, his eyes kept looking at the face full of suspense, and he didn't know what to say next? Lu Mingyang seemed to be deliberately torturing him, and he actually snored. Just when Yu You'an was gloomy, Lu Mingyang suddenly opened his eyes and said: "A leader in Beijing told me about this, and he was very interested in the old man's painting. ”

Yu You'an's mouth opened a few times, and he suddenly came to his senses and said, "I know, Mr. Fang's paintings are very valuable." ”

"It's valuable!"

Lu Mingyang's voice was extraordinarily loud.
