After a toss, early in the morning, at the beginning of the day, Liu Dake, who was restless, held back a lot of words in his heart, and wanted to find someone to talk to. However, at this moment, who can be confided in? At this time, Liu Dake felt very lonely.

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Dake opened the address book in his mobile phone and looked for it. Thousands of numbers, and I didn't even find anyone who could tell the truth. Suddenly, Liu Dake remembered Hu Fan and dialed Hu Fan's mobile phone.

"Xiaohu, have you eaten?"

Early in the morning, after receiving a call from Liu Dake's mobile phone, Hu Fan was stunned at first, he wanted to say that I am in the office now, but after thinking about it, Liu Dake asked himself if he had eaten? There must be something, so he hurriedly said, "Is there something?" Director Liu. ”

"Haha. On the phone, you still called me the director, it's too raw, right? ”

Without waiting for Hu Fan to reply, Liu Dake said again: "I haven't eaten yet?" ”

Hu Fan was very smart, and from Liu Dake's words, he seemed to see Liu Dake's thoughts, so he said, "Director Liu, what do you want to eat?" I'll arrange it right away. ”

Liu Dake originally wanted Hu Fan to accompany him to the "No. 2 Office Building" for dinner and chat by the way. But after thinking about it again, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't want Wu Can to join in, so he said, "I haven't drunk mutton soup for a long time." ”

When Hu Fan heard this, he said, "I understand." However, Haitian doesn't seem to have mutton soup for breakfast. ”

"Breakfast was not too particular. Find a small shop near the office, as long as it is clean. Hanging up the phone, Liu Dake looked at the mobile phone in front of him, his heart fluctuated, and he thought a lot.

After a while, Liu Dake estimated that Hu Fan should be almost downstairs, or felt that the family was too depressed, and wanted to breathe fresh air downstairs, so he got up and changed into work clothes.

Liu Dake was about to leave home with his document bag, when his mobile phone rang, and it was Hu Fan calling. Hu Fan told Liu Dake that the car had been parked downstairs. As soon as Liu Dake heard that Hu Fan had gone downstairs, he hurriedly walked downstairs.

As soon as Liu Dake got into Hu Fan's BMW private car, he couldn't help but look at it, and said, "This is your car?" ”

Hu Fan knew very well in his heart that Liu Dake didn't just want to accompany him to drink mutton soup, he must have something to find him, so he was extremely cautious when he spoke. Hu Fan glanced at Liu Dake from the rearview mirror, and saw that Dakechang's eyes were full of envy, so he said softly: "Hmm." ”

Liu Dake's eyes were still looking at the car, and he couldn't help but say: "This car costs four or five hundred thousand yuan, right?" ”

"Almost." Hu Fan drove the car and answered casually. In fact, Liu Dake is a car blind, and the car driven by Hu Fan costs more than one million.

"Why didn't I see you usually open."

"Oh. This car was given to my daughter-in-law by my father when I got married, and it is usually driven by my daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Dake suddenly understood that Hu Fan had changed to a good car in order to pull himself to drink mutton soup, and at the same time, a sense of sadness arose spontaneously in his heart: the businessman gave his daughter-in-law such a good car, and as for himself, as the director of the hall, the car he sat in was not as good as a young man's private car. And it's not that you can't afford it, but do you have the money to dare to buy such a good car? Bought it, dare to open it?

Hu Fan pulled Liu Dake and quickly came to a mutton restaurant and sat down in an air-conditioned room.

While waiting for the food to be served, Hu Fan put an envelope in front of Liu Dake, Liu Dake was puzzled, and said, "What is this?" ”

Hu Fan said: "I don't know, my father said that he wrote a letter to you, and I asked me to hand it over to you in person, and I don't know the specific content." Liu Dake picked it up and looked at it, and sure enough, the envelope was still sealed, so he gently squeezed it, feeling that there was something like a credit card in it, and immediately understood Hu Fan's intentions, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiaohu, are your usual tutors very strict?" ”

Hu Fan didn't know what Liu Dake was thinking at this time, and looked at Liu Dake with puzzled eyes. Liu Da laughed and said: "The letter written by the father, the son dare not read it?" ”

Hu Fan smiled slightly, said nothing, took the teapot, and brewed the best tea leaves he brought from home. Suddenly, Hu Fan seemed to remember something, and said to Liu Dake: "Last night, I was on the phone with my father, and I told my father that the words you gave to my father have been written. My father was very happy and asked me to take a picture of your calligraphy and send it to him. My father was very happy when he saw the photo. Say that your words have everyone's style, a little packaging, and it is not a problem to sell tens of thousands of words in the market. ”

Suddenly, Liu Dake seemed to remember something, looked at the envelope in front of him, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth that was difficult for outsiders to detect, and said: "Your father said very lightly, a little packaging can be sold for tens of thousands?" How to pack it. You may not know much about the world of painting and calligraphy. Holding a decent calligraphy exhibition will cost hundreds of thousands. If in a place like the National Museum in Beijing, it is impossible to hold a personal calligraphy exhibition without a few million, and at that time, it is necessary to invite reporters and celebrities in the calligraphy industry? ”

When Hu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but regret his gaffe, his father had no intention of paying for Liu Dake's calligraphy exhibition. In the future, Liu Dake really mentioned this matter to his father, how should his father answer. Hu Fan's heart was uneasy for a while, and he wanted to dilute the topic. Hu Fan saw the envelope thrown in front of Liu Dake, worried that someone would see it, so he said, "Director Liu, put up the letter that my father wrote to you." Otherwise, drink mutton soup for a while, accidentally splash on it, and get wet. ”

Liu Dake smiled slightly and said, "Little Hu......" Liu Dake said and glanced at Hu Fan, thoughtful. Hu Fan didn't understand Liu Dake's thoughts at this time, and looked at Liu Dake blankly. Liu Dake continued: "Your personality is absolutely different from your father's, you are as careful as a big girl. Liu Dake said, putting the envelope into the document bag.

Hu Fan's face was a little ruddy, he smiled slightly, got up and said, "Director Liu, it's been so long, how can the mutton soup come up, I'll go and urge Cui." ”

Liu Dake hurriedly waved his hand to Hu Fan and said, "Don't worry, I've been a little tired recently, so let's rest." ”

Hu Fan glanced at Liu Dake, and saw that Liu Dake's eyes had been looking at him, and he couldn't help lowering his head. Liu Dake said: "As far as your personal understanding is concerned, what kind of character is Xiao Liang?" ”

"Xiao Liang, do you mean our Director Liang?" Hu Fan looked at Liu Dakedao, his eyes a little confused.

Liu Dake smiled slightly and nodded lightly.

Hu Fan didn't know how to answer for a while, and kept figuring out Liu Dake's thoughts. Although Liu Dake has always been very concerned about Liang Haixing's resignation, he has always refused to confide in himself, so he doesn't know Liu Dake's true thoughts. Hu Fan didn't have the liberty to answer. Liu Dake seemed to see Hu Fan's thoughts, so he said: "It's just the two of us here, if you have anything in your heart, just say it directly." Besides, I've been friends with your father for many years, and I think of you as a ...... again. Right? ”

Hu Fan thought about it, and still felt that Liu Dake seemed to be testing something to himself, so it was better to leave some room for speaking, so he said: "Director Liang is a bit introverted. Besides, he has his own office, and unless there is something to do, he can rarely say a word or two to us. ”

"And what is he doing in the office all day?" Liu Da laughed and pretended to be indifferent.

"Write the material, look at the document. Director Liang loves to study and often reads books when he has nothing to do. ”

"Haha. Isn't that your typical nerd? Liu Dake suddenly laughed.

Hu Fan shook his head and said, "Director Liang is not a nerd, he is a typical scholar-type leader. Not only does he write good articles at work, but he often publishes his works in social journals. ”

Liu Dake nodded and said, "I also know this." Xiao Liang is really a rare talent. ”

"How did you feel when you visited Xiao Liang's parents at his house this time?" Liu Dake suddenly changed the subject.

Hu Fan didn't know what Liu Dake was thinking, and still looked at Liu Dake with puzzled eyes. Liu Dake said again: "How do you feel about Xiaoliang's hometown?" ”

"The life of Director Liang's parents?" After Hu Fan recalled for a while, he said: "Although Director Liang's parents' house is relatively old. But it can also be seen that at that time, it was still a relatively good house in the village. Moreover, Director Liang is a brother, and it should be said that his parents have a good family background. I also asked Liang's father, this house is so old, why don't you build a new one? Liang's father told me that Director Liang mobilized him several times to build a new house. First, when others are old, even if they build a new house, they will not be able to live in it for a few years. Second, there is a superstitious legend in the countryside, saying that the population is small and lives in a big house, which cannot be suppressed and is prone to accidents. I don't know, to the effect that it is. Hu Fan looked at Liu Dake with honest eyes.

Liu Dake couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Hu Fan was even more puzzled. Liu Dake said: "This is not a superstition in the countryside, but a legend of feng shui. From the perspective of Feng Shui, after a person dies, the soul becomes a variety of gods, when the house is built, all kinds of gods will live in, the bigger the house, the more gods will live, especially the elderly, the body is weaker, can not control the ghosts and gods, and is prone to accidents. There is also an explanation that there are many big and fierce houses, people are yang, and the house is yin, and the yin qi in the house is particularly heavy, especially for the elderly, who have less yang qi in their bodies, and if the yin qi is too heavy, it is easy to lose their life, and they are easy to get sick. Therefore, the ancient emperors built the palace very large, but the bedrooms were generally very small, only about ten square meters, and the reason for this is this. ”

Hu Fan suddenly realized, and looked at Liu Dake with admiration. Liu Dake said again: "I remember that Xiaoliang's wife also works well. ”

Hu Fan nodded and said, "Director Liang's wife also works in the provincial organs, and I heard that the deputy director has just been promoted." ”

After listening to Hu Fan's words, Liu Dake realized, nodded lightly, and said to himself: "A family of two leading cadres at the department level, in the provincial capital, such a family is already very good, there is no reason to resign?" ”

Hu Fan finally understood that the resignation of Director Liang had left a lingering shadow in Liu Dake's heart, but he thought: Isn't it normal for civil servants to resign? A few years ago, there were also civil servants in the department who went to the sea to resign, and at that time, the director of the department agreed without much thought, and also said publicly: In the future, anyone who resigns, try to approve it, since he wants to resign, it means that people don't want to stay in the agency, keep people, can't keep their hearts, rather than people like this to stay in the organs, all day long leading the country's money, it is better to let him leave the agency as soon as possible, and can also pour out the establishment and recruit new civil servants? Moreover, just last year, Director Liu forced Huang Qiang to resign? But why does Director Liu care so much about Director Liang's resignation? Hu Fan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Liu Dake seemed to see Hu Fan's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "What is Xiao Hu thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about Huang Qiang?" Hu Fan blurted out.

"Huang Qiang?!"

Hu Fan looked up at Liu Dake and nodded.

"The nature of the resignation of the two of them is not the same." Liu Dake said thoughtfully in a low voice. The two of them fell into memories almost at the same time.
