Late at night, Shen Qi attended a class reunion from the hotel. Ready to go back to her new home. Probably the effect of alcohol, she walked a little shaky.

"I'll send you back." A voice behind him said.

Shen Qi looked back and saw that it was Shen Yang Hong, the convener of today's meeting.

"You've drunk a lot so late." Seeing Shen Qi shaking his head, Shen Yang Hong insisted again.

Shen Yanghong's father was a well-known entrepreneur in the city. After graduating from Shenyang Hong, he helped out in his father's company. Because of his family's integrity, he usually arranged such gatherings, and he was very happy to do so.

Although Shen Yanghong's car is not as luxurious as Shen Qi's boyfriend's car, it is also quite comfortable. Shen Qi sat in the car, looked at Shen Yanghong's skillful driving skills, and asked, "Is it easy to learn to drive?" ”

"Easy. If you want to learn to catch up with Ming'er, I'll teach you. Shen Yanghong said briskly.

"Forget it." Shen Qi said with a sigh.

Shen Yanghong knew that Shen Qi was afraid that her boyfriend would be jealous, so he didn't say anything anymore.

Shen Qi's boyfriend, Tan Gaohao, is the owner of a well-known real estate company in the city and has developed a large residential building in the city. Shen Qi's house was given by him.

"Everyone is joking tonight, don't take it to heart." Shen Yang Hong said while driving.

Shen Qi knew what Shen Yanghong was talking about, so he said, "Actually, it's nothing. With Tan Gaohao's strength, it doesn't matter if the house doesn't sell well for the time being, we can afford it. In the future, housing prices will rise, and maybe you can earn more. I mean, everyone, it's good, why are you talking about those things, isn't this a heart that can't get along with me? In my opinion, they are jealous. ”

Shen Yanghong knows that Tan Gaohao is not a native of the city, but a developer introduced by the city to attract investment. After investigation, a piece of land with excellent feng shui was selected, and the only drawback was that next to this land was originally a funeral home. After negotiating with the government to move the funeral home, Tan Gaohao began to develop the land. But after the house was built, not many people bought it. The house is largely vacant, and the reason may also be on this funeral home. At today's class reunion, several classmates talked about it, which caused Shen Qi to be very angry.

Seeing that Shen Qi was still angry, Shen Yanghong didn't want to touch this mold again, so he didn't say more. In fact, he also understands that Shen Qi is just Tan Gaohao's "second wife". Tan Gaohao's project in this city is really successful, and after the sale, Tan Gaohao will definitely abandon Shen Qi. At that time, Shen Qi will leave a house at most. Now, Shen Qi is actually angry about the unsuccessful development of Tan Gaohao's project, which makes Shen Yanghong feel angry and funny.

The city is not big, and soon it will arrive at Yuxinyue Bay developed by Tan Gaohao, and Shen Qi's new home is here.

It may be because of the dead of night, Shen Yanghong drove on the ring road of the community, and actually felt a little gloomy. After seeing Shen Qi enter the high-rise building, Shen Yanghong didn't want to stay for a minute, so he hurriedly started the car and wanted to go back to the exit of the community along the ring road.

Due to the low occupancy rate, the southern half of the community did not even turn on the street lights. Shen Yanghong turned on the high beams and walked along the ring road.

"Why have you walked for so long and haven't seen the exit?" Shenyang Hong is a little strange, although there are no street lights in the south of the community, there are street lights in the north, and after walking for half a day, why can't you even see a little light in the north?

In order to increase the area, the main roads of the community are designed to be very narrow, all one-way streets. Shen Yanghong had no choice but to drive forward.

Following the light of the car, Shen Yanghong suddenly saw a person walking slowly along the road in front of him. He opened the window and approached the man.

"Excuse me, how to get to the exit of the community?"

The man walked straight forward, without saying a word.

"Excuse me, where does this road lead?" Shen Yang Hong kept the speed of the car at the same speed as the man.

The man turned his face—

…………

The next morning, in the ravine on the east side of the community, Shen Yanghong's car was found crooked on the side of the road. Shen Yang Hong has been dead for a long time. The cause of death was cardiac arrest.

Xu Tingshan almost didn't sleep all night and wrote the manuscript well. It was almost dawn before I was confused, and when I woke up again, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning.

"It seems that today I asked Team Leader Zhong to make irresponsible remarks." Xu Tingshan muttered in her heart.

Team Leader Zhong is the leader of a column in the newspaper, and she usually talks to anyone with a sharp eyebrow, and her colleagues privately say that she has menopausal syndrome.

Xu Tingshan is known as a flower in the newspaper, she is beautiful, her writing is good, she has followed the leader on patrol several times, and the report she wrote made the leader even claim that it was good, and almost did not change a word every time. But Team Leader Zhong can always find some faults, and in the end, he always makes another comment: "I still have to work hard." ”

It was almost 11 o'clock, and Xu Tingshan arrived at the newspaper. She tiptoed to the desk and was just about to sit down, when a high-pitched and powerful voice from Team Leader Zhong came from behind her: "Shanshan, come here." ”

What is the name changed? Sansa thought to herself. Usually colleagues call each other by their nicknames, which is cordial and convenient, but Team Leader Zhong always addresses his subordinates by their first names and surnames. Speak seriously and never smile. This time you actually called her "Shanshan"?

Shanshan walked over to Team Leader Zhong's office. On the way to work, she had already made up a countermeasure to deal with it, and she naturally had a spectrum in her heart.

I couldn't believe that Team Leader Zhong still had a smile on his face.

"Shanshan, it's hard to accompany Secretary Jin of the Provincial Party Committee to inspect the work in the past two days, right?"

The sun came out in the west. Shanshan muttered in her heart, but she still said, "It's okay, I'm still young, this is nothing." ”

"Do you know Secretary Jin's son?"

"Acquaintance." Sansa didn't know why she was asking this.

"How long have you known each other?" Team Leader Zhong is still full of spring breeze.

"I met purely through a working relationship, and it didn't take long."

"Why didn't it take long for you to start dating you?"

"Nope." Sansa was a little baffled.

"Hide it from me. People have been looking for you all morning, but they haven't found you, so they called me. ”

Shanshan then remembered that the phone hadn't been turned on yet.

"He asked me to tell you, meet at the café across from us at 2 p.m."

"Didn't he ask me if I wanted to go?" Sansa seemed a little upset.

"He asked you out, but you still won't go?"

"Why not, legs grow on me. Besides, I still have work in the afternoon. ”

"Let's put aside other work first."

"Is this your work order?" Shanshan said coldly.

Seeing that Team Leader Zhong was a little stunned, Shanshan took out the manuscript she wrote last night from her bag and said, "This is what I wrote last night, you can take a look first, I'll leave if it's okay." With that, he turned around and left.

"Hey, by the way, just now a person named Shen Qi in this city called you, saying that he was looking for you in an urgent matter and asked you to give one back."

"Got it." Sansa didn't look back. She knew the reason for Team Leader Zhong's change of attitude, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusting in her heart.

"Really, I've climbed the high branches, and even my temper has grown." Team Leader Zhong muttered.

"Ah Qi? I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you think of me? Shanshan dialed Shen Qi's phone and teased.

Shanshan and Shen Qi are classmates in the city's high school. Shanshan graduated from university and went to the newspaper, and Shen Qi has been in the city, although the two have been in contact by phone, but they have not met much.

"Oh old classmate, I'm dying." Shen Qi on the other side of the phone was obviously a little excited.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, don't worry." Shanshan felt that something big must have happened to Shen Qi's side.

"Shen Yanghong, do you remember?"

"Yes." Shanshan remembered the tall, big, and lively guy in the class back then.

"He's dead!"

Shanshan was a little surprised: "Dead? How did he die? ”

"I guess I'm sick and dead."

"Death from illness is death from illness, how can it still be regarded as death from illness?" Shanshan wondered.

This sentence made Shen Qi on the other end of the phone silent for a long time. After a pause, he had to say with certainty: "He died of illness." But this disease has something to do with me. ”

"Something to do with you?" Sansa was incredulous.

"Don't be fooled. It's not convenient to talk too much on the phone, but if you, a big reporter from the provincial newspaper, can come over and help us write a positive report, I will be grateful. ”

"I haven't figured out what's going on, under what name did you let me go?"

"You just talk about the city's economic development, the local business community wants you to go and interview, don't worry about the cost. Old classmate, you can help me this time! Shen Qi was crying.

"I'm going to find a way to call you back in half the day."

Putting down the phone, Shanshan thought that something big must have happened. But Shen Yanghong's death has nothing to do with Shen Qi and the city's economic development.

It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and Shanshan is still wondering whether to go to the appointment. In her heart, Secretary Jin's son Jin Haoran didn't give her too bad an impression, but what would happen if she was dating such a son-in-law?

That's when the phone rang.

"Do you need me to pick you up so close?"

It's Kim Haoran.

Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you tell me through Team Leader Zhong?" ”

"But you don't seem to be able to make it clear whether you will go to my appointment or not?"

This bell leader has a fast mouth. Shanshan muttered in her heart, but said, "Is there something wrong?" Do you want me to interview you as an entrepreneur? ”

Jin Haoran is now the chairman of a large supermarket in the provincial capital, so Shanshan has this question.

"We've met a few times, and we're acquaintances. Can't I have an old acquaintance over for a cup of coffee and a chat? ”

"I still have work in the afternoon, and besides, I have to wait for the leader to finalize the draft." Sansa preulated.

"The manuscript has been decided, you can rest assured." Jin Haoran seemed to be bound to win, blocking her retreat.

"Okay then." Sansa hesitated. She knew that these high-ranking cadres were very high-minded, and it was not good to break face.

When Shanshan walked into the café, Jin Haoran was already waiting there.

"You're a big shelf, it's hard to please." As soon as Jin Haoran came up, he took the lead.

"Where, how dare I not give face to Mr. Jin." Shanshan replied without humility or arrogance.

"Looks like I didn't make a good impression on you."

If you look at Jin Haoran as a person with no background, he is not bad-looking, he is also very temperamental, he has stayed abroad, and now he is an industrialist, and the conditions should be very good. But Shanshan thought of the faces of the gentlemen, and she was unappetizing, and her personal conditions were secondary.

As if seeing Shanshan's thoughts, Jin Haoran smiled and said: "People can sometimes touch the light of their family and flourish in their careers, but they can't make real friends." Compared with the pros and cons, I think there are still more losses. ”

"You mean to be a true friend with me?"

Jin Haoran thought for a while: "At the moment, right. ”

"I believe that true friends must first respect each other, think about each other, and not let each other do things that they don't want to do. Am I right? Sansa pressed on.

"Yes, absolutely." Jin Haoran usually has a lot of suitors, and he has talked to friends many times, but he has never met such a powerful character.

At that moment, Shanshan's phone rang again. Shanshan saw that it was Shen Qi calling.

"Hey, Shen Qi. I haven't told the leader yet, I will definitely try my best to arrange, and I will call you when there is a letter. ”

Shanshan thought to herself, how big is it, as if urging life.

Just an excuse. Shanshan put down the phone and said to Jin Haoran, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll go first." ”

"Going on a business trip?"

Sansa nodded, but didn't say anything.

Jin Haoran smiled: "Okay." However, we may meet soon. ”

Back in the office, Shanshan thought for a while and walked to Team Leader Zhong's office.

"City?" Team Leader Zhong said, "Yes, yes." But now that there are few people and you can't draw people, can you go alone? ”

"No problem, I'm familiar with the situation over there, and I have a lot of friends over there."

"Okay. Give you five days to stay safe. Let's go back early and get ready. Team Leader Zhong said with a smile.

Shanshan felt that there seemed to be something in Team Leader Zhong's smile, but after all, after completing Shen Qi's affairs, she couldn't take care of much. The train arrived at the station in the middle of the night, and there were still many people picking up on the platform of the city's railway station. Through the car window, a cool breeze blows, giving you the feeling of the charm of the northern mountain town in the middle of summer.

It's better to be home. Sansa thought heartily.

"Is it Miss Shen?" As soon as Shanshan got off the train, a tall and stout young man came up to her and asked.

Sansa nodded in surprise, and the young man came to help her with her luggage.

"You're-" Shanshan didn't know the other party's identity, so she couldn't let the other party get her suitcase.

"Our chairman is afraid that you have a lot of things, so let me come in the station to pick him up, and he himself is at the exit of the station."

"Chairman?" Sansa thought to herself. She only knew that Shen Qi was the office director of a real estate company, and how she was suddenly promoted to chairman.

At the exit of the station, there are many people picking up the station. Shanshan saw Shen Qi waving to her at a glance. Shanshan stepped forward to shake hands with Shen Qi, but Shen Qi hugged Shanshan all of a sudden: "I haven't seen you for so many years, I miss death!" ”

The young man with the luggage stood aside, and as soon as the two of them parted, he interjected, "Miss Shen, please go this way." ”

"What's going on?" Shen Qi asked.

"Huh? He's not from your company—" Sansa was a little surprised.

"Our chairman is over there." The young man pointed to the left.

Through the lights of the railway station square, Shanshan saw clearly that it was Jin Haoran standing beside a Mercedes-Benz car over there.
