I fled Hong's office in embarrassment and got into my car, covered in rain.

Dazhi was crooked in the cab, probably asleep.

I got into the car and my buddy woke up in his sleep.

He didn't notice any abnormality in my mood, got up, wiped a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth, glanced at me in the rearview mirror, started the car, and didn't forget to joke with me.

"The director must have arranged heavy physical work for you after staying with you for so long, right? Is it moving boxes, pouring documents, or moving beds? ”

With that, he winked his eyes at me and smiled maliciously.

Looking at his dirty and obscene expression, it is not difficult to guess the implicit thoughts of Qi Sili in his words about lonely men and widows in a room, I couldn't get angry and punched him.

"Move your hammer, roll the calf, drive, go home."

"It's okay, I can understand the story of some accident between you, don't say it, from the beginning I felt that the woman's eyes were wrong when she looked at you!"

Dazhi said with a grin.

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it seems that the subtle emotional expression between me and Ah Hong still did not escape his eyes.

So I took the stairs to myself, immediately diverted the topic, and lied about the situation where Ah Hong and I were alone in the upstairs office.

"Don't guess, the director is indeed turning the office upside down, and arranged for me to help move the furniture and tidy things up, which is indeed manual work, damn, I'm tired."

"You hide in the car and sleep, don't do anything, hide and idle, and talk crazy things, aren't you begging for a beating?"

I pretended to be serious, yelled, and kicked him in the seat again.

The grievances and grievances between Ah Hong and me, at this time, I can't make it clear to him.

I had just escaped Hong's office, my mind still chaotic, the tearful face of Hong's face lingering in my mind, and the warning screams I heard as I fled still echoed in my ears.

"Yes, if Dazhi and I run the mining farm, as Ah Hong said, and the local government functional departments come out to intervene and oppose it, it will be a big trouble."

According to what I know about Ah Hong's character ten years ago, she will do what she says.

I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of this.

Yes, the ultimate opposite of love is hate.

I know this kind of hatred too well, I hate each other so much that I want to destroy the other party, the terrible thing is that Ah Hong not only hates me, but she also has the right to destroy me.

The car sped on the way back to the mining site in the county seat.

I've been thinking about it, and I've been thinking about what to do.

Dazhi drove intently, turning his face to look at me from time to time.

"Do you think this Director Hong is quite abnormal?" , he asked me suddenly.

"Ah, what did you say? Why? I don't know what he wants to say, it seems that his doubts about my relationship with Ah Hong just now have not been completely eliminated, which makes me feel a little weak.

"Dude, I mean she's quite different from the local government officials we used to contact."

"What's the difference? I don't think she's much different. I pretended to be a little disapproving, and at the same time, I tried to think back to all kinds of abnormalities that Ah Hong might have exposed in front of Dazhi.

"Oh, you say it's different, I think about it, there is indeed something special, it's a bit studenty."

After I finished speaking, I glanced at Dazhi.

"You can pull it down, where is this woman still a little studenty? She's a person, I don't know what you think, I don't think this woman is simple. A look of admiration appeared on Dazhi's face.

"Yes, at such a young age, to be a leader must be something extraordinary." , I echoed helplessly, and at the same time remembered what Ah Hong said about giving up everything and sacrificing a lot for her goals, and her promotion should have a lot of back stories.

"Do you know her? The friend who helped you invite her out should know a little about the director's past, right? Did he tell you any inside information about the director? ”

I tentatively asked Dazhi.

Dazhi shook his head.

"People are leaders, we know so much about what to do, besides, we just look for her to do things, chat, and it's just a routine."

Dazhi suddenly showed an indifferent gesture.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, glad that he knew very little about Ah Hong's past.

However, he looked at me again and continued:

"However, since I was dealing with the leader, I still inquired, and I heard that Ah Hong's husband's family is in the county, and even the city has some background."

"That's normal, right? Otherwise, no matter how good she is, it is estimated that it will be in vain. He knows a lot about local officialdom, all kinds of nepotism, all kinds of interest entanglements, he knows everything about it, so it seems that his reasoning also has a little truth, and being an official is not an easy thing.

It is useless for a person to have ability, the key is to have a platform to display his ability.

Ah Hong's ability is obvious to all, but how big her platform is, this is still a mystery to us, whether it is her husband or any background of the rumors, after all, it is hearsay and cannot be verified.

"Did you have contact with her?" , I'm a little restless, it seems that Dazhi knows quite a lot.

"You think too highly of me, brother, I didn't know Ah Hong before, how can I talk about contact with people? Before tonight, like you, I had never met her, never said a word! Dazhi drove the car, yawned, and seemed a little sleepy.

His final performance still completely relieved me.

I looked out the window at the rain and fog and fell silent for a moment.

"It seems that Dazhi did not have any intersection with Ah Hong in the past, and he also thinks that I and Director Ah Hong did not know each other before, where would he have thought that not only did we have a chaotic emotional entanglement in the past, but after the Hongmen banquet he inadvertently organized tonight, Ah Hong carried me into the environmental protection building on a rainy night to talk, and I and the director have now become incompatible rivals!?"

It was a big blow to me.

From the time I got in the car, I hadn't figured out how to explain to Dazhi about Ah Hong's past with me, and the fact that she had declared war on me.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles".

The current Ah Hong is a mysterious woman to me, who was originally fine, but just now, she inexplicably became my enemy, which is a terrible thing.

yes, what could be more worrying than that you know nothing about your enemies?

I've been thinking about how to deal with the emotional issues between me and Hong.

Is it to find an opportunity to talk to her again, put all the past thoughts about each other, and the current reality of each other, all on the table, talk openly and honestly, and talk about it?

It is estimated that it will not work, she is currently emotional, and it is impossible and impossible to communicate further.

Tell Dazhi about everything about himself and Ah Hong, and pass on information through Dazhi to resolve conflicts?

Emotional matters, it is estimated that only the parties concerned can say more clearly.

My various interactions with Ah Hong, including each other's real thoughts.

Even I can't say it myself.

Dazhi is also a layman in the matter of the relationship between men and women, how could he go to a strange woman to clarify something for me?

All kinds of seemingly feasible measures, after comparing them one by one, are always the next policy.

After thinking about it, I think it's better to avoid it for a while.

At the same time, I also have more time to understand what happened to Ah Hong, what her real state is now, and most importantly, if everything is very pessimistic, we can't reconcile in the end, I am eager to know how much damage she can bring us as the deputy director of environmental protection, and whether this blow is within our range.

On what grounds should I apply for recusal?

It not only does not allow Ah Hong to react aggressively, but also temporarily protects our mining farm business from being affected.

What can I say to Dazhi?

It doesn't arouse his suspicions, but at the same time keeps him on his toes and keeps the company running safely.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

I frowned, lost in thought.

The car drove in the rain for two or three hours and finally arrived at the mining site.

I closed my eyes in the back seat of the car and meditated, my thoughts revolving around the themes of Ah Hong and the mining farm, trying to find a solution that would have the best of both worlds.

By the time we arrived at the mine, the rain had completely stopped and the air was humid.

The night was deep, the green hills in the distance were clear and thick under the quiet sky, and in the endless green gauze tent in the distance, the cries of frogs and acquaintances came and went.

Several bright searchlights in the mining field illuminate every scene and everything in the mining area clearly, and the mine has already fallen into a deep sleep with its bare mind.

Dazhi parked the car, and we stood outside the office together to smoke and take a nap.

"Dazhi, I've been thinking about a question in the car and want to talk to you." I glanced at Dazhi, the tiredness he showed when he drove had completely faded at this time, and it seemed that the moment he got out of the car, the fresh air in the mountains after the rain reawakened his consciousness.

He took a puff on his cigarette, looked at me with a smile, and made another light-hearted joke.

"Say, don't talk nonsense, don't tell the story of you and the director going upstairs just now, I'm going to wash and sleep."

His teasing embarrassed me a little, and I really wanted to kick him and gag his crow's mouth.

"Don't talk about anything else, I want to talk about our second step business plan."

"I think it's time to get started."

I glanced at him and tried to keep my tone as calm as I could.

Dazhi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what I meant.

"You're talking in your sleep, aren't you? Nabs. ”

Not surprisingly, he was opposed.

"Do you want to start a real estate project? Besides, the business of the mining farm is currently so good, we should seize this opportunity to make a lot of money, and then concentrate on the next thing. ”

"No, you didn't grasp my thoughts."

"I have no plans to terminate the mining business, I want to do it at the same time as I start the real estate project."

Daishi's eyes widened.

"What do you mean, let's do it separately?"

He was smart and immediately guessed what I was thinking.

I nodded.

"Dazhi, have you ever thought that the two of us are nested in the mountains, in such a small county, the whole person has become stupid, and his vision has been restricted?"

He smoked silently, without squeaking, thoughtfully.

"Real estate projects need to see six ways and listen to all directions, and we have been concentrating on mining for so long, and we don't know how much the market has changed. Do you think that if we two more years of pouting and digging ore, we will have a chance to do our second step of business plan? ”

Dazhi took a puff of his cigarette fiercely, threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground, and twisted it with his feet, but still didn't catch my stubble.

He was thinking about what I said.

As expected, after a while, he raised his head and stared at me, and his attitude changed.

"Big country, I understand what you mean, you say, how to do it? What's next? ”

"I want to completely entrust the Great Power Ambition Company to you, take part of the funds from the mining farm, and go to Beijing to start a real estate project."

"Nope." , he refused very simply, which I did not expect.

"We are a partnership, we can't separate."

I was touched and knew what he had in mind.

"Dazhi, I left here for a short time and went to Beijing because I wanted to do two things, one is the dream of our brothers in the past few years, to go to Zhongguancun to buy you a house, and the other is to thoroughly investigate and understand the recent real estate market in Beijing, and see how big things we can do with our limited funds and resources. It is also a preliminary research, do some preparatory work for the start of the project, and the specific implementation will take a certain amount of time. ”

"I'm not trying to break up with you, do you understand?"

Dazhi looked at me, his eyes were shining, and there seemed to be tears flashing, what I just mentioned about the house in Zhongguancun, it was his heart disease. The hardships in the early days of starting a business together also seemed to remind him of the hardships we shared together.

For so many years, I have been thinking about what I can do for him, and my ambition is very strong, but the two cousins who have no guesses give up his emotions because of the house, and the matter of marrying a Beijing native, should always make him linger! That's a knot in his heart, and I don't know that.

As for my emotional affairs, Dazhi is also clear.

Ding Ling and I, and him and my cousin, the once beautiful love fantasies eventually became tragedies, in his opinion, it is not that we don't work hard, but because the society is too realistic.

If time is reversed, our identity is no longer that of a destitute bastard, and perhaps the story will have another ending.

Buying a house in Zhongguancun is what Dazhi deserves for his hard work during this time.

We can now afford real estate in Beijing, which is the result of so many years of struggle, and it can be regarded as a stage verification of our ability.

As for the meaning and value of the house itself, I think it will be different in everyone's mind.

In the eyes of Dazhi as I know it, the house itself is nothing, but it is a complex symbol that is difficult to let go.

In fact, my decision to leave the mining farm and return to Beijing to start a business was not entirely out of selfishness to avoid emotional entanglements.

Hong is certainly difficult, and for me, it is not the best way to retreat.

Along the way, I've been weighing my own decisions.

I just experienced the Ding Ling incident, and I have an indescribable fear of emotional matters.

Ah Hong's fiery enthusiasm scared me.

From the bottom of my heart, her obsession with me also gave me an almost pathological complacency.

"In this world, there are still such excellent women who have always put me in such an important position!"

"It seems that successful men do have an indescribable attraction to women?"

It was this very ambivalent psychology that made me feel that I needed to temporarily abandon my emotions and focus on doing things, so I finally decided to temporarily return to Beijing and avoid Ah Hong for a while.

She showed up at this particular time and was a catalyst for our second step business plan.

Our current financial situation is far better than expected, and although the launch of the real estate project is much earlier than expected on the timeline, the basic conditions are indeed met.

I can't tell you too much about the situation at the moment, but I just explain the arrangement of the business plan and the importance of starting the real estate project, which is the crux of the matter.

"The reason why I want to entrust all the great country ambition company to you is for two considerations, one is that you are the legal person of this company, which is conducive to the operation of the later business, and the other is that the division of labor between the two of us has been adjusted in the later stage, I focus on real estate, you focus on mining business, and we are still a capital pool, and we are still working together."

I explained to him my thoughts on the next step in the company's operation.

When we registered the company in the great power ambition company, we already had an agreement on the articles of association, which is very beneficial to the current business adjustment.

"I suggest that we change the Great Aspiration Company to the Great Zhifu Company, and publicize that it is your sole proprietorship, so that the development of all business in the local area will be very smooth."

My suggestion is also reasonable, at present, people in the county who know the Great Power Ambition Company know that the mining company is a business of two people, so to negotiate any business, we must both appear at the same time, which is a restriction.

My suggestion, and a kind of selfishness, which I am not willing to explain to Dazhi at present, is that the company change can avoid Ah Hong's attack to a certain extent.

If she knew that the big countries had withdrawn their shares and fled, would she magnify her ambitions?

This is also the current policy, and the outcome is unknown.

The madness of love will make a person lose his mind, if as Ah Hong herself said, she has set her sights on the ambition of a great country, as long as the company has me, the good days will basically come to an end.

Dazhi frowned and lit another cigarette.

He looked at me, full of thoughts.

"I agree with what you said, we have sufficient funds now, the rainy season is coming to an end, and we will immediately enter the golden period of the mining farm's business, you go to Zhongguancun, Beijing, and buy two identical houses, it's better to buy them together, and we will be neighbors."

"Okay." I laughed, I couldn't refuse the offer.

"With the existing funds, the mining farm will leave 500,000 working capital, and you will take all the remaining 3 million."

Dazhi completely trusted me, and he made detailed arrangements for our planning and details.

"It is estimated that more than one million will be removed from the two houses, and you won't be able to support the remaining two million in Beijing for long, and you will be short of money in the future, so you can just allocate it from the mining farm."

I nodded.

"You need to do the change of company as soon as possible, and you need to notify all the business departments in the county."

Again, I told Dazhi because I knew Ah Hong's resolute style of doing things, and we had to act before she could take action.

"For the registration of the company of the Beijing real estate project, I still plan to use the name of the ambition of a great country."

I looked at him and said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it."

Dazhi looked up at me with a resolute attitude.

"What you say, you will do it tomorrow."

He was full of confidence and ambition, which is the most ambitious expression I have ever known.

Fully support each other's decisions, ensure the company's efficient execution, once things are decided, they will be implemented immediately, which is our tacit understanding for so many years.

When everything was arranged, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe tomorrow will be better, right?

The night was already deep.

Before you know it, a full moon climbs the hill and lights up the sky.

The sky was already completely clear.

The air gradually became hot and humid.

On the mountain road in the distance, the flashing headlights seem to tell us that no matter what time, no matter what weather, no matter what environment, there will always be passengers on the road.
