Chapter 4 of the seventh chapter, there is no turning back
"We can't go back together because we'll be seen." Secretary Hao got up to leave, and he looked at me, as if asking me to respond.
"I know." I took one last sip of coffee and glanced at him. I was very reluctant, but when I thought that my purpose was coming to me step by step, I had to face this step.
"I'll go first!" The old man on the other side looked left and right, looked back at me again, and smiled with satisfaction. He got up and straightened his clothes, and walked past me calmly.
"Bastard!" I said, taking a deep breath and leaning back into my chair, full of questions, feeling that I didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, and that I really couldn't figure it out for a while.
Actually, I didn't want to do that, but when I stepped on the plane and arrived in Hong Kong, I felt more and more that a person cannot live without a purpose, without something substantial, even if it is unscrupulous. But for some people, you have to be like this, such as people like Secretary Hao, who is not only powerful but also profitable.
Perhaps, with his light, I never thought that I would get something involuntarily, from the same cowhide bag I received at China Merchants Bureau, I don't know which one, and as a result, I got a sum of money, and I still don't dare to move, and has been pressed in the cabinet of the desk.
Perhaps, in terms of making money, my means are not mature enough, but at least, I will slowly use some substantive rights in my hands to let people send themselves to the door, in this case, I can collect, I will accept, if I can't collect, I will refuse it, I can't let people catch it, let people know that I am honest and simple, this is the most important thing.
Secretary Hao, after dealing with him, I slowly saw the gap, he is beautiful on the surface, power is supreme, but in private he is at odds with his wife, and he often makes trouble. It may be some ups and downs that make him lose more than he gains. But in his tone, the relationship above is very iron, from the central government to the provincial ministry, the relationship network is very tightly woven, and he can retire after a few years.
I sat there, thinking about some things, thinking about Mengling, at least I learned that Brother Zhendong's incident, with Secretary Hao's appearance, should be more effective than anyone else, I believe it can help. As for Li Shang, I don't dare to mention it in front of Secretary Hao, maybe as Gongming said, he may be helping, if he doesn't help, I will slowly think of a way, and I will talk about it when I return to Huangshi.
These days, I am thinking that Li Shang and I, although we are not substantially related, he has really affected my life, and I can't help but say that I miss him a little, because his obsessive love makes me so satisfied.
Gongming, Chen Gongming. I don't know why he came here just now, but I believe he didn't start with me. With him, I don't know how this love affair will develop. Or, our love is wrong, and if we continue like this, we don't seem to end well. Compared with when we were in school, our innocence, the hope and the ending at that time may be sweeter. But things always backfire and make people fall behind. We've come to where we are today, and I didn't expect it, and I don't know what will happen next. Komeito, I don't know anything about what you're thinking or doing.
Thinking of his instantaneous figure just now, my heart panicked, but then disappearedγγγγγγ
Mengling, when I think of her, my heart is full of joy, I have to call her, I don't know what this guy is doing now, I have to tell her the good news.
I took out my phone and was about to pull Mengling's phone when a call came in, and it was an unfamiliar number.
Who, it's so late, and someone still calls me.
"Hey, is it Xiaowei?" I heard a familiar voice, it turned out to be Komei.
"Yes, Komeito, is that you?" I suddenly felt nervous, as I remembered the sight I had seen him in the hallway above.
"Yes, you come out right away and walk to the door of the hotel!" He said that he seemed to be guiding me as if he were not far away.
"Now?" I lowered my voice, I knew that Komeito had something to look for me, and he should be nearby.
"Yes, I'm outside, I'm waiting for you outside" he seemed to put down the phone, "you hurry up, don't let others see it, especially acquaintances." β
"Hmmm! I know! "I got up and looked around, but I didn't see anything familiar. Maybe I was too careless, or maybe I didn't expect that at that time, several pairs of eyes were staring at me behind me.
Gongming, this guy, can't serve the dishes on the main table, he is always mysterious.
Walking to the door of the hotel, I looked around, but I didn't know where he was, I walked down a few steps, and then the phone rang again.
"I'm out!" I said in a hurry.
"You go to the right, go to the side of the flower, there's a car, you come up."
Get in? Then it proves that Komeito is already in the car. To go or not to go, his father-in-law is waiting for me up there, but I am releasing pigeons.
No, I've got to say a way on Komeito's side, if I can branch it, maybe he's just a little thing, but since he came here quietly, he definitely can't make it public, so I should be able to get out soon.
Sure enough, I saw a car parked in front of me that wasn't turned off, and the paint was shiny under the neon lights. I hesitated suddenly, a little hesitantly.
Go ahead, go first, and then talk about it, just act when you see the opportunity.
I opened the front door of the car and sat straight inside.
Sure enough, Komei was sitting in the driver's seat, and before he could say a word to me, the car slid forward.
"When did you come and why didn't you come with us?" I didn't look at him.
"I'm here with you for a day, but not with you, I'm doing something very important, and I'll tell you about this later." Komeito seems to be very serious.
I didn't squeak, what he was doing, I didn't care. Or maybe it's his secret. Gradually, he and I, I felt that we were becoming more and more suitable to be ordinary friends, and we were not talking to the same level as before.
I looked out of the car and really didn't want to say anything, no matter where he took me. Trust that he will not persecute me.
"I'll go back to the hotel later, I want to read the draft, and I'll attend the consortium meeting tomorrow." I turned my head to look at him, and in the dim light, his silhouette was so clear and so familiar.
"I know, I'll send you back later!" He didn't look at me, "I came, I didn't want to see you, but I saw you and γγγγγγ β
"What?" I was a little surprised, even scared, I didn't know what he meant, but when I thought of the ugliness of me and Secretary Hao in the hotel, I felt a little weak.
"Don't go too far, I don't know if you're giving up on yourself or if you have some purpose, but you have to have your own bottom lineγγγγγγ"
"The bottom line?" The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I became, "Gongming, you have to make it clear, you and I, until now, have nothing to do with each other, can you say that I am like this, do you say that my bottom line is morality?" I took a deep breath and was really angry with the man in front of me, "Where were you when I fell?" Where were you when I needed youγγγγγγ Do you say I lack virtue? Gongming, you're cursing me. β
"I didn't, Xiaowei!" Gongming shook his head, "Don't think like this, I never thought about harming you, I just think you have to live well, at least better than me!" β
"Am I not good, I married a good man, marry a chicken with a chicken, whether it is good or not, how can I judge?"
"What are you now? You and γγγγγγ When I came to Hong Kong, maybe I didn't expect this result. He said, "Do you think you'll get a lot out of it, you think you'll be able to do whatever you want with that old thing!" β
"Komeito!" I yelled, "You're stalking me?" β
"Xiaowei!" Chen Gongming parked the car on the side of the road, he looked at me, "Xiaowei, I don't want you to go farther and farther, it's not too late." Seriously, I recommended you to him at the beginning, just hoping that through him, you can get some substantial help, maybe I was careless, so I didn't expect it. β
"What, you arranged all this way?" The more I listened, the more angry I became, "Chen Gongming, when you and that woman got married, we couldn't be together, I think it's providence." Later, when you became a monk, you seemed to ignore the world. I also thought, this is fate, and I admit it. But later, you and the one surnamed Lu, you γγγγγγ As soon as you leave the family, for herγγγγγγ This one...... I started shouting at him hysterically, "Forget it, I want to open it, it's impossible in our lives, I don't want to, Gongming, I'm tired, you send me back, we won't quarrel!" β
"Xiaowei!" Komeito shouted loudly, "Youγγγγγγ You still don't understand me, really, I'm not what you imagined, Xiaowei, me and Xiaolu, it's really nothing, you have to believe it! β
"Komeito, okay, let's stop arguing, I believe you, okay. I said that you are a monk, why are you always inexhaustible, mixed with these things, why are you, are you tired? "I felt my tears flowing, and looking at the man in front of me, my heart ached and hated." What do you want to explain like this, do you want to tell me, you stop, don't go wrong again? β
Komeito didn't squeak, it seemed to be a tacit acquiescence. He looked at me, and once upon a time, at school, he looked at me like that every time we had some argument.
"Gongming, if you do this, in fact, he knows it!" I said, I remembered some of the words that Secretary Hao said to me in the hotel just now, I didn't understand it at the time, but now I think about it, I know that he is aware of it, and I also feel that my voice is much quieter.
"I know, I just want him to know!" Gongming snorted, "He has a ghost in his heart, of course he is careful everywhere." β
"Youγγγγγγ Your father-in-law γγγγγγ him I was surprised and expected, "You better not get involved, I'm like this, I don't want you to be in the middle." β
"You give up, don't want anything, just like the beginning, do your management again, do your own work, don't do this, it's very dangerous, and there is no good result." He said, "I don't want to see you go to a dangerous step, so there's no turning back." β
"You know there's no turning back!" I sighed, "Gongming, why didn't you expect it when you brought me here, once you came, you would be safe." I have my purpose, I must achieve it, you know me, I recognize, there is no turning back. β
Gongming didn't squeak again, but I heard him sigh, and after a while, he said, "I'll send you back, you can do it yourself." β
"Komeito!" I heard him say that he was going to send me back, and I felt in my heart that I was really inseparable from him from now on, perhaps, we were just ordinary friends from now on, and his warning was true for the man I once loved, but I thought I would go my own way.
"Komeito!" I turned my head to look at him, and saw that his hair had grown a little, and he was not wearing a hat, and in the dark night, in the soft light, the sharp outline used to obsesse me. I leaned over him and kissed him on the cheek, maybe it was the last time I kissed him, because he loved him.
"Xiaowei!" He looked at me with a kind and loving look in his expression, "You have to learn to protect yourself, anytime, if there is anything, you want my help, you can." β
"Hmm!" I sat upright, tears streaming down my cheeks again. I'm sorry, Komeito! My heart hurts. Since then, after the two lines cannot intersect, they will be parallel, and I look sideways at the lights outside the car, the night of Hong Kong, this light, just like the familiar hometown. Just the breeze from the sea, cool and pleasant.
