(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)

After Chen Dongliang competed for the post of deputy director, it was originally an ironclad matter, but because he needed to report to the personnel department at the next higher level in the city, after waiting for the results of the competition and dismissal of several other units in the city to come out, a notice was issued at the same time, and then the unit had to make a public announcement first, and finally the formal appointment and dismissal. Due to the large number of units and personnel involved, it has dragged on for a long time, and it has just entered the publicity stage recently, but everyone has begun to call him "Director Chen" since the voting results were announced in the hall a few months ago.

Speaking of which, Chen Dongliang is very modest on the surface, cautious in his actions, clever in doing things, and good in socializing with the people around him, but somehow it was not smooth, and suddenly something happened: he was reported!

Some time ago, during normal working hours, he accompanied the director several times to go out with the female boss of the related unit that funded 180,000 yuan to sponsor them to hold a micro-film competition, did a foot massage, drank tea, and sang KTV. It was he who went out of these places outside of working hours and was reported, and the whistleblower had a video as evidence, and the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came, found Rong Shengli to talk alone, and also found Chen Dongliang to drink tea alone, which of course immediately became a major event that went viral in the unit......

Who reported it, it turned out that Director Rong Shengli and his wife had a bad relationship all year round, recently his wife had a lot of menopause, firmly suspected him of cheating, once secretly drove to observe Rong Shengli's whereabouts, and copied the surveillance video from the foot massage shop, tea room, and KTV, and reported to the unit Discipline Inspection Commission and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection with his real name that "Rong Shengli committed adultery with the female boss of the related unit, and spent public money to invite the female boss to enter and leave the entertainment, leisure, and health care places many times during working hours......

The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately investigated and found that in the videos of Rong Shengli going out to eat, drink, massage, and entering and leaving entertainment venues several times, the participants changed and were different, but Chen Dongliang was seen every time, and he was considered an important witness. Chen Dongliang was then called by the Commission for Discipline Inspection to assist in the investigation and interrogated for almost a morning. So to be precise, it was not Chen Dongliang who was reported, but was investigated. However, he himself is clearly problematic, at the very least, the fact that he has been in and out of entertainment and wellness places many times during working hours, this fact is very clear.

He was in a terrible mood, and when he came home haggard, he slept with his head covered.

Chen Dongliang's parents knew the ins and outs of the matter, and they were very worried, thinking that Jinghao's father had a student who worked in the government and was also the secretary of an important leader, so as soon as Chen Dongliang woke up, the family immediately rushed to Jinghao's house to discuss how to deal with the "massage incident", hoping to reduce the adverse impact as much as possible and not delay Chen Dongliang's "political future".

How can Jing Hao know this? A few of them were racking their brains to discuss, Jing Hao suddenly sent a video, his father hit the speakerphone, Jing Hao said to his father: "I just told my mother that I plan to go back soon, but because of some things I study, I want to postpone returning to China for a while." ”

The father asked, "And when do you plan to postpone it?" ”

Jing Hao hesitated: "I can't say it now, maybe a month late, or a little longer......"

The father asked, "Is there anything you still need to leave behind in your studies?" Is it a paper that has not passed? ”

Jing Hao said: "No, I don't know if the paper has been done yet, I am doing other things this time, I can't say it clearly in a sentence or two, wait until I find time to talk to you and my mother in detail......

Chen Dongliang was originally in a gloomy mood, but when he heard her say that he was going to postpone his return to China, and he was not sure of the date, and he didn't explain why, he was naturally unhappy, so he went over and asked the reason, but Jing Hao couldn't explain it clearly, only saying that it was the reason for studying.

Chen Dongliang's whole family is waiting for her to come back from the summer vacation so that she can get married as soon as possible, and now she is saying that she will delay returning to China. Chen Dongliang was already worried about his messy things, and when he saw her spitting, he cut off the video angrily.

Jing Hao was helpless, she couldn't explain clearly because she knew Harry was sick. She'd already decided anyway that she was going to stay with Harry for the rest of his last days anyway - maybe he wouldn't have it long. It's good to be able to spend the last time with him, even if it's just as an ordinary friend, even for a few days.

The next afternoon, Jing Hao wanted to visit Harry again, and sent an email asking Harry if he wanted to visit him, whether he would go to the office or his house, and Harry actually replied by email that he would wait for her in the office in an hour.

Jing Hao put on his schoolbag and walked towards school, and couldn't help but wonder a little, is it necessary for him to insist on going to school every day after this is already the case? Is it to spend the last moments of your life at your desk? Do you need to be so desperate?

Thinking of this, she immediately shook her head, feeling that she was cursing him.

Passing by the campus café, it was very close to Harry's office building, and it was not very comfortable to be quiet. She looked up at the second floor, where she couldn't see the window of Harry's room, and there was no figure moving around in the oncoming glass wall, so she couldn't see anything.

She turned her head to look at the campus café, Red Oak, only to be surprised to see Harry standing in front of the Red Oak Café! She thought she had seen it wrong, but when she looked at it again, it was indeed him, and what was even more surprising was that he looked so good, talking and laughing.

Harry saw her, greeted her, and walked over quietly, and the two of them went into the café and sat down, chatting.

Jing Hao couldn't help but hesitate and wondered - "I just heard, you, the old disease has relapsed?" Is it? ”

Harry asked several times before he figured out what Jing Hao was talking about. It turned out that a teacher at the International Student Exchange Center, also named "Harry", had throat cancer, and after the original treatment effect was relatively stable, it is said that he suddenly recurred recently.

It turned out to be a big misunderstanding: Mayo hearsay that it was indeed "Professor Harry" who was terminally ill, but it was another "Harry". And on the day that Harry went to visit him before Jinghao, he happened to catch a cold, and at the worst time, he had a handful of snot and tears, and as a result, Jinghao misunderstood......

Jing Hao was relieved, but her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Harry smiled and said, "Life will always encounter unexpected things, and misfortune happens all the time. So, be kind to yourself and everyone you meet. ”

Jing Hao nodded and smiled.

Life is indeed full of unexpected things. The next day, Mayo suddenly returned to Oxford, had lunch with Jing, and told her new plan: to return to France as soon as possible, because her mother suddenly fell ill and had joint problems and could not walk normally. Her two older brothers, one working in Shanghai and the other in the United States, are the closest to her, so she has to go back to take care of her mother for a while. The plan to return to Oxford to work in this way was also ruined.

Jing Hao told her about the previous oolong, and Mayo quickly apologized, saying that he was very busy during this time, confused people, and caused trouble for Jing Hao.

Jing Hao comforted her and consulted with Mayo about studying for a doctorate, and Mayo suggested that Jing Hao go to London to choose a school to study for a doctorate instead of staying in Oxford. Jing Hao asked her why, and Mayo said directly: "In this way, you are not in the same school, and you no longer have any teacher-student relationship, you can have in-depth interactions, and you can also get some guidance and help from Harry in your studies." ”

Jing Hao was a little embarrassed, and still explained that he and Harry were just ordinary teachers and students, and I was afraid that Harry had a girlfriend.

Mayo is very generous, she says that the person she has always admired in her heart is Harry, but unfortunately Harry has no feelings for her. "Harry is a man worth interacting with, not only knowledgeable, but also very tolerant and friendly," she said. In my own opinion, Harry still seems to appreciate you. You should be proactive. ”

Jing Hao shook his head again and again and said, "He must have a girlfriend, I've seen it!" ”

Mayo tells Jing Hao that he heard that Harry once had an undesirable marriage, and that many years after the divorce, Harry had a relationship with a Korean girlfriend in the UK, and that Korean girlfriend had been separated from him many times, and Harry did not blame her, waiting for her to choose. For the last time, the Korean girlfriend decided to completely break up with her British boyfriend who had been entangled, drove her daughter and pulled her luggage, and came to Oxford from London to find Harry, intending to live with Harry from now on, but on the way to Oxford, on a highway not far from Oxford City, unfortunately had a car accident, and after being sent to the hospital, she was rescued for three days, but she was still not saved, leaving only a five-year-old daughter, who was very frightened.

The little girl has no relatives in England except for her father, but the whereabouts of her father, her mother's ex-boyfriend, are unknown. The little girl and Harry are very familiar with each other, she had lived alone in Harry's house when she was on vacation, and after the police found Harry, he had to be both a father and a mother, and also a psychological counselor, taking care of the little girl. Because the girl's father could not be contacted, she finally contacted her relatives in South Korea through the help of the embassy and sent the girl back to South Korea. This process can take up to three months.

Mayo said she had seen Harry take the little girl to work, prepare water, drinks and snacks for the little girl, leave the little girl in the office to read by himself, and then he went to give the students a big lesson...... When master's and doctoral students came to his office to teach alone, Harry took the little girl to a public computer room near his office, played her cartoons, told her not to run around, and asked the staff to take care of her. In between classes for Ph.D. and M.A. students, Harry went out several times to see the little girl......

Mayo said that she didn't know how Chinese men deal with this kind of thing, but if it were put on some French men, who could take care of their ex-girlfriend's child who had nothing to do with them for more than three months, it was almost impossible......

After listening to what Mayo said, Jing Hao thought of the words written on the book he saw in the downtown library, and realized that that name and that experience might be a pain for Harry, and he left that name in the preface, maybe to commemorate her. At least, it was because he had to come to him that the misfortune had happened, and as Harry had said, some of the words had a very different meaning when he handed them over to the publisher than when the final book was printed...... It seems that, as Mayo said, Harry is a man of love and righteousness.

Jing Hao and Mayo have an after-dinner dessert: a few slices of almond cookies.

Jing Hao felt that it was a little too sweet, and said, "You Europeans eat too many sweets!" Don't you get sick after eating like this? ”

Mayo said, "Yes, unhealthy eating habits! If you look at my weight, you can see that I still run every day and night. ”

Jing Hao had another question, and asked Mayo: "Also, at the rowing competition that day, Harry seemed to be watching the race with an Asian woman, could it be that Harry has a new girlfriend again?" And after that, I saw her in the hallway of Harry's office! The two of them seem to be very familiar, and they are very cordial or close. ”

Mayo told Jing Hao that on the day of the rowing competition, she also saw that the person was a visiting scholar from China, doing research at a school in London, and this time he only came to Oxford for a short time, it should have happened to be just in time for the rowing competition that day, Harry did his best to take her to enjoy the race, and as for the later appearance of her in the corridor of Harry's office, it was perhaps for academic research or to say goodbye......

At home, Rong Shengli was standing in the corridor, outside the office door, he looked complicated, looking left and right, listening to the door, knocking on the door panel, and saying "please come in", he pushed the door into the dark red wooden door of the "director's office", stayed in it for a while, and after coming out of the director's room, he listened to the door again and knocked lightly on the door panel, and entered the "secretary's office"......

A few days later, Chen Dongliang was unprepared and saw a notice posted in the glass window in the lobby of the office building - how could he be punished! It turned out that Rong Shengli did the work of his superiors and let Chen Dongliang receive a major demerit, and Rong Shengli himself only received a warning.

Chen Dongliang was stunned and looked at it for a while, and he couldn't believe the lines and lines he saw - the decision to give Chen Dongliang a major punishment......

Why did you become the protagonist yourself? Didn't he get reported in the first place? The publicity is ongoing, and this time I have a big demerit, and there must be no play when I am the deputy director, besides, didn't Jinghao's father promise to help find the students who are secretaries to the city leaders to ask about this matter? Why is there no news at all, and the results come out?

In this unclear "massage incident", he was not only surprised, but also depressed when he was punished as the scapegoat of Director Rong. He originally thought that no matter what, he would get the news in advance, and no matter what, he wouldn't know such a result through such a channel - it was posted directly...... Not only was he depressed, but he also gave birth to resentment and anger towards Rong Shengli. I even have the impulse in my heart to go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to further expose Rong Shengli, but I can think about it - what kind of disciplinary violations did I expose him? What I know is nothing more than the few eating, drinking and entertainment activities I have participated in! Then there is a good way to buy discounted luxury gifts for gifts. Even if he really has other serious corrupt and depraved behaviors, he has no evidence!

In Jing Hao's house, Jing Hao's parents were talking to Chen Dongliang, Jing Hao's father suggested that he cheer up, this deputy director didn't become a new director, just take this as a new starting point, start again, don't be obsessed with "being an official" as before, it's best to be professional, there are various majors in administration, and there are also a lot of knowledge......

The last time I asked about the supermarket, and the current thing happened again, Jinghao's mother was very uneasy, and while Jinghao's father went to the kitchen to pour water, he quietly asked Jinghao's boyfriend alone, why did he let him carry the black pot, was it that he and the female boss, something unclear happened, and the handle fell into the hands of others? If there is something really going on, you have to say it, don't hide anything.

Chen Dongliang listened to it at first, listening to Jinghao's mother's nagging endlessly, he raised his head, his face was pale, and he could hardly bear it. Chen Dongliang felt that Jinghao's mother's suspicion of him was almost insulting, and he wanted to get angry - the female boss was in her fifties, and she was twenty years behind herself, so who did he think Chen Dongliang was? Little white face? Mother-lover? What's in the picture? Again, Jinghao's father just chattered to persuade him not to be an "official fan", and he also felt insulted.

Chen Dongliang thought: After this incident, all of your family have something to say, and they can be regarded as revealing their true colors - calling me an "official fan" and sprinkling salt on the wound; Even doubted my personality and guessed that I was having a mess with the old lady...... He even guessed that Jing Hao was eighty percent because of this matter, so he deliberately found an excuse to postpone the return date, that day he and his parents went to Jing Hao's house to discuss this matter, just said a few words, Jing Hao's mother stood next to me and didn't know who to send a message, after a maximum of ten minutes, Jing Hao sent a WeChat video, saying that he would come back later, isn't it Jing Hao's mother to ventilate the news? …… The more I think about it, the more angry I become, the more annoyed I become.

What made Chen Dongliang even more angry was that Jinghao's father's student was obviously working as a secretary to the first deputy mayor in the government, and he could be asked to do him a favor in this matter, and let him make a phone call with the leader of the unit, which was not a trivial matter, but Jinghao's father actually said: "I really can't talk to people, wait a few days, I'll see if I have a chance to meet him...... At this level, the decision to record a major demerit has come out.

Chen Dongliang thought hatefully: What are you pretending! The sourness and backwardness of the intellectuals have all been expressed, and what is there to say! Am I killing someone? How old are you still talking? It's your own son, are you still pretending to be forked like this? What practical things can this family do?
