Lu Qichang, the old director of the Qidong Branch, has been in this position for fifteen years, it can be said that it is deep-rooted, Qidong is a beautiful place, and it is a place near the sea, and the Anxi Branch is naturally different from the small inland provinces, over the years Lu Qichang has obtained a lot of industrial resources, although there is not much hope for promotion, but it is also good to buy a family business for his descendants, just when Lu Qichang planned to retire in this position, Director Peng's order came down, and he was transferred to the bureau as a consultant who did not have much power.

According to common sense, Lu Qichang is definitely unwilling to even get angry directly about this kind of thing, but firstly, Director Peng and he are allies and now they are in the same boat, and secondly, the price offered by Director Peng's forces is in line with his appetite, thinking about it, he decided to obey the order in order to live a happy old age.

Rooted in Qidong for more than ten years, Lu Qichang's things to move away are naturally incomparably many, and it has been almost half a year since the order was issued, and there is still a small half of his things that have not moved, Lu Qichang can see that the people above and the newcomers are not in a hurry, so he also continues to live leisurely, waiting for the new director to come to visit to discuss the handover affairs, as an old-timer, Lu Qichang feels that it is necessary to let the new director figure out some of the situation, don't let others go, and the people behind will fall, this is not good, Lu Qichang is a person who wants to save face.

To be honest, maybe he has been in this place for a long time, Lu Qichang has a deep affection for everything here, from the subordinates in the bureau to the house where he lives, the trees and flowers, and even the weeds at the door also look familiar, if these can't be taken away, he even has the urge to move the whole piece of land with the house, of course, this is also an impulse, thousands of miles away from Kyoto, things like the house land can't be moved, and there is no place to put it.

In the vast night, it was a hazy drizzle, the dim moonlight, in the world of raindrops, blurry, not real, but still with a unique sense of beauty, Lu Qichang, the old director, was playing chess with his old friend, Deputy Director Sun Liancheng, while drinking old wine, while chatting about Gu Jianping, the new director.

"The old director's chess skills are still so old and spicy, alas, I lost again, come and have a drink. Sun Liancheng said with a smile

"I said Lao Sun, if you want to drink, just say, use chess tricks to trick me into drinking this thirty-year-old wine, you are really tricky. Lu Qichang said

"Haha, isn't it boring to just drink, besides, who knows if you are reluctant to take out this thirty-year-old wine, if I don't say that I will play chess for the last time before leaving, and the one who loses will drink your thirty-year-old wine...... Sun Liancheng said with a small sip of the dark red wine

"You slippery old fellow, well, how did I fall for you. I'm going to drink it too. Lu Qichang said with a smile,

He happily poured himself a large glass of dark red wine, compared with the small half glass given to Sun Liancheng, when the time came, people had to sigh the old man's childlike temper, of course, maybe this is also a joke between old friends, outsiders must not do this.

"This wine is really good, thirty years old wine is thirty years old wine, and every sip carries the wonder and taste of the years. Looking at the chess game at the end of the chessboard, and then at the drizzle and hazy moonlight outside the transparent glass, Sun Liancheng said slowly

"What's going on in the bureau? Lu Qichang casually filled the wine glasses for himself and his old friends and said

"It's still like that, what happened to me and you and Lao Qi and Lao Hai when they were transferred down from above, it's almost the same now. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is strife. It has been this way for many years. Sun Liancheng slowly picked up the glass, looked at the dark red wine and the fine foam on it and said

"Well, it's really interesting, the four of us were high-spirited, with the passion to change the world and come here, alas, more than 20 years in the blink of an eye, Lao Qi Laohai is no longer alive, you and I are also old and sleepy, there is no such ambition, more than 20 years, although we have expanded the scale and power of the sub-bureau, recruited and trained many young talents, but the fundamental problem has not been solved, I have to say that it is a pity. Lu Qichang said

"What can be done, we are actually worthy of the country and worthy of our own salary, that problem will be solved by future generations, we will spend our old age in peace, don't meddle in things, the situation above is changing too fast, we are cautious. Sun Liancheng raised an index finger and pointed to the top of his head and said

"You're right, there's any news for the new director. Lu Qichang asked

"Yes, I received news yesterday that he flew over after a half-year vacation, but his whereabouts were unknown after getting off the plane. Sun Liancheng said

"The whereabouts are unknown, is this a private interview with Weifu or what is it for? Lu Qichang said with a smile

"Young man, that's it, let him go for a private interview with Weifu, it's still good for young people to suffer a little loss. ”

In the mouth of Lu Qichang, the old director, it seems that the well-known good place of the Qidong Branch is not a good place, full of contradictions and conflicts of interest, and the local forces are very powerful. Indeed, there are many people and money in Qidong, and the coastal area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and Lu Qichang and others also suffered losses to gain a foothold, and since then, they have also cooperated with local forces and served as the sub-director for more than ten years.

In the memories of talking and laughing, Lu Qichang and Sun Liancheng became two, one burst into tears, one laughed, and suddenly, the two seemed to be tightened in their hearts, stood up as if they were facing a great enemy, walked to the window, and stared at every move outside.

The thin raindrops drifted with the wind, and the raindrops that gathered together fell on the wide turquoise plantain leaves, gathering into a clump, and for a while the plantain leaves seemed to be unable to withstand so much rain, so they poured a drop of water from a plantain leaf on the lawn.

I don't know when the wind is rushing There was a whistling sound in the air, the sound of breathing that could not be heard, far and near, suddenly Lu Qichang Sun Liancheng looked back, and a black-clothed man entered the house at some point and was standing three meters away from them.

"Who are you? The person who saw it didn't do it directly, Lu Qichang asked suspiciously

"Guess. A vague voice like a machine said

"Say it again, who the hell are you, or I'll press the alarm. Sun Liancheng walked a few steps quickly, took a lighter-like thing in his hand and said

"Pretend, I've already checked it just now, it's a lighter, okay, tonight's visit is over, goodbye. ”

The dazzling white light flashed in front of him, and the black-clothed cloaked man lost his trace, Sun Liancheng, taking the lead, rushed out of the window, jumped off the three-story building, and quickly patrolled carefully around the villa, and in the middle of the sound, he came back, shook his head at Lu Qichang and said, "It's completely gone." “

"Know, don't mention this to anyone. Lu Qichang's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have an answer.

"What, Lao Lu, what do you mean, could it be him?" Sun Liancheng looked at Lu Qichang's demeanor and said in disbelief,
