Chapter 179: Making Up Excuses
Zhu Xu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately dialed Cheng Xuedong's phone with his mobile phone-
At this time, Cheng Xuedong was napping in his seat, because the journey was long, which made him, who is usually highly concentrated, finally have a chance to relax, even if he sits, he will fall asleep. In this team, there is not only one Nan Binghuai who forgets to sleep and eat, but he usually has insufficient sleep time, and this time is just the right time to supplement sleep.
The other two assistants watched the outside world through the car window, when it was close to dusk, and the view under the sunset was particularly charming. The two young men chatted as they watched, as if they had seen the trip to Ki-Chung as a pleasant trip.
Cheng Xuedong actually dreamed of his beloved wife in his sleep, she was covered in the dream, with a resentful look on her face accusing herself of breaking her promise, and her eyes were full of bloodshots, which made him feel shocked and woke up from the dream.
The two assistants who were chatting interrupted the topic when they saw that he suddenly raised his head: "Cheng Gong is awake?" ”
Cheng Xuedong let out an "oh" and rubbed his sleepy eyes at the same time.
One of them, Xiao Zhang, was a little uneasy and said, "Did we quarrel with you?" ”
Cheng Xuedong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I had a nightmare just now." ”
Xiao Li didn't ask him what he dreamed of, but said humorously: "Oh, the dream is the opposite, which just shows that everything will go well for our trip." ”
Cheng Xuedong recalled the terrifying expression of his beloved wife in his dream, and he was very worried in his heart, and he didn't cater to his assistant, and he couldn't help but recall the coping message he sent to Liu Yan before, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable. Because of this dishonesty, he felt that he owed something not only to his beloved wife and daughter, but even to Liu Yan, so he subconsciously picked up his mobile phone and thought about saying something to her. After this time, the broadcast in the carriage has long been stopped, and you can have a normal call with the other party.
However, before he could call Liu Yan, Zhu Xu's call came in, which made his hand holding the phone shake and almost let the phone go out.
When he saw that it was Zhu Xu calling, he didn't pay much attention to it, because his personal relationship with Zhu Xu was far less deep than Liu Xiaoguang's, maybe the other party was explaining some things on behalf of Teacher Nan for official business.
Thinking of this, he calmly answered the phone: "Hey, Zhu Gong? ”
Zhu Xu's voice on the mobile phone was very urgent: "Cheng Gong, have you just passed Tong'an now?" ”
Cheng Xuedong was a little inexplicable: "I don't know." Why do you ask this? ”
Zhu Xu looked curious: "Why don't you know where you have passed?" ”
Cheng Xuedong hurriedly explained: "I just slept a little. Wait a moment for me to ask them. ”
Zhu Xu had no choice but to pause.
Cheng Xuedong leaned forward and began to ask the two assistants sitting opposite: "Have we passed Tong'an?" ”
Xiao Zhang nodded again and again: "Yes, it hasn't been long since then." ”
Cheng Xuedong shrank his chin back: "I just asked, we just passed Tong'an." ”
Zhu Xu said in a cheerful tone: "Well, this shows that the train you are taking is running on time." In just over an hour, it will be time to arrive in Zhengning, please be ready to get off the bus. ”
Cheng Xuedong was stunned and said, "Xiao Zhu, are you mistaken?" Our destination is Qianxi, which is still 108,000 miles away. ”
"Cheng Gong, now that the situation has changed, you have to get off from Zheng Ning. As for Xiao Zhang Xiaoli, continue to go to Jizhong as planned, which can be regarded as a front stop. ”
Cheng Xuedong's exclamation just now alarmed the two assistants sitting opposite, and they both stretched out their necks to him.
Cheng Xuedong was still puzzled: "Could it be that Professor Nan asked me to get off the bus from Zheng Ning?" ”
"Yes. If it weren't for Professor Nan, would I have so much authority to instruct you? ”
"Why did he let me get off from Zheng Ning, is there a cooperative unit here that needs to be contacted?"
"You guessed right, there is indeed a cooperative unit in Zhengning. You don't need to contact them, though. Instead, they will assist you to transfer to Shangjiang through Zhengning. ”
Cheng Xuedong's eyes suddenly widened: "Go back to Shangjiang?" Why?? ”
Zhu Xu couldn't help but glance at Nan Binghuai, a little hesitant.
Nan Binghuai thought for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu understood that he wanted to talk to Cheng Xuedong in person, so he obediently handed over his mobile phone-
As soon as Nan Binghuai took the mobile phone, he shouted directly into the microphone of the mobile phone: "Xiao Cheng, listen well, hurry up and do what Xiao Zhu just said." When you arrive in Shangjiang, you will naturally understand what is going on. ”
Cheng Xuedong was a little anxious when he heard his voice, and he was suddenly shocked: "Could it be Shuzhen?" ”
Nan Binghuai wanted to tell the truth, but when he heard the other party's voice, he trembled a little, and suddenly changed his words: "What's wrong with Shuzhen?" ”
"Sook-jin... Not much? ”
"Do you ask me? Sook-jin is your wife! ”
When Cheng Xuedong heard this, he felt that his teacher suddenly urged him to go back to Shangjiang and had nothing to do with his beloved wife, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked curiously: "Then what is your intention in letting me go back to Shangjiang?" ”
Nan Binghuai knew that he was most at ease with his wife, so he was worried that he would collapse on the way home when he learned that his wife was critically ill, and as a long-term mental worker, his brain nerves were usually very tight, and once he suffered an unexpected blow, unexpected consequences could occur, especially when no one took care of him on the road. So after weighing it, he decided to give another reason why he didn't want to go home.
"I said Xiao Cheng, do you still have your own daughter in your heart?"
"You mean Xiaowei? What's wrong with her? ”
"She'll take the college entrance examination tomorrow, are you confused?"
"Didn't you ask me to go to Jizhong in Qianxi first, and then go back to Shangjiang to spend a few more days with my family?"
"Alas, I'm an outsider who doesn't understand your father-daughter relationship, don't you understand it either? She now needs your encouragement the most, if she misses her college entrance examination, then what else does she need from you? ”
"Mr. Nan... How do you know she needs me? ”
"Well, she's called me personally, wouldn't I know?"
"What? She's actually disturbing you... This girl is so ignorant. ”
"Don't blame her, even if she scolds me on the phone."
Cheng Xuedong's heart was shocked: "Could it be that she is not inferior to you?" ”
Nan Binghuai hurriedly denied: "That's not true." Xiaowei is a sensible girl after all. ”
Cheng Xuedong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't speak for her." If she is really sensible, she shouldn't bother you directly. ”
"Alas, you're really unqualified to be a father, and you don't know how much pressure your daughter is currently under."
Cheng Xuedong hesitated for a moment before he smiled bitterly: "All children who take the college entrance examination are under pressure, and some children and parents regard the annual college entrance examination as a watershed in their lives. ”
"You can think otherwise, but what about Vicky? She was depressed because she was under a lot of pressure, and at this time, her mother couldn't help her share the pressure because of her illness, and you? You are far away from the world when she is most helpless, and you simply abandon her! ”
Cheng Xuedong was a little shocked: "Professor Nan I..."
Nan Binghuai's tone softened: "You can't be blamed for this, I also have an unshirkable responsibility, because my heart is full of the project in front of me, I neglected your family situation, I want to make a profound review to your family." ”
"Teacher Nan, don't think like that... It has nothing to do with you..."
"Xiao Cheng, don't comfort me. Fortunately, I can still make amends now, and I have to get you back before Xiaowei goes to the exam room. ”
Cheng Xuedong frowned slightly: "But the price of doing this is simply too great, right?" ”
"No matter what the cost, I have to do it. And you, you must obey my orders unconditionally. ”
Cheng Xuedong became tough again when he heard his words, so he had to show obedience: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
"Well, don't call home either, just go back quietly and try to surprise your daughter. I'm sure this surprise will be a great encouragement to her. ”
Cheng Xuedong hasn't contacted his daughter for a long time, and his daughter hasn't contacted him either. It's not that their father and daughter have a shallow relationship, but they are both doing the most onerous and important things for each other. For Cheng Xuedong, since he changed his itinerary and went home, he really didn't know what to say to his daughter on the phone, and he was even worried that she would lose sleep tonight, so he gladly accepted his teacher's advice.
Nan Binghuai reminded him again before hanging up the phone: "Before you get off at Zheng Ning, I will ask Xiao Zhu to continue to call and explain what you should do next." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Zhu's arrangement."
After Cheng Xuedong hung up the phone, he shrugged his shoulders at the two assistants who were in a daze opposite: "It looks like we are going to act separately." ”
Besides, Nan Binghuai handed the phone back to his assistant, and said curiously: "I heard you just say to Xiao Cheng that there will be a colleague from a cooperative unit in Zhengning to arrange for him to transfer to Shangjiang, what's going on?" ”
Zhu Xu hurriedly replied: "I am very familiar with our partner there, Lu Jiaxin, and she has a wide network in Zhengning, so it is estimated that she can help Cheng Gong who is not familiar with life." ”
Nan Binghuai's eyes lit up: "This is a good way." You quickly contact Lu Jiaxin and ask her to help Xiao Cheng board that important flight. ”
Under his urging, Zhu Xu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately dialed Lu Jiaxin's phone-
In a precision instrument factory in Zhengning, it was time to get off work, and a woman in her thirties was carrying a beautiful women's bag and leaving-
I saw her with a goose egg pink face, wearing a pair of eyes to inlay a pair of smart big eyes, her figure is relatively tall and full of charm, it can be said that she is concave and convex, with a white short-sleeved shirt on the upper body and a blue short skirt on the lower body.
Ding Dong –
A simple piece of music came out of the beautiful satchel, and she had to stop and reach out for an equally delicate little cell phone from the bag.
When she glanced at the caller ID, she suddenly showed a surprised look from the two shallow lenses, and immediately answered the phone: "Hey, Zhu Xu? ”
Zhu Xu's greeting came from the mobile phone: "Jiaxin, are you okay?" ”
This woman is the woman Zhu Xu asked for help, she is the same age as Zhu Xu, she is still a classmate at the same university, but she is not in the same department, so she is engaged in different scientific and technological jobs after graduation. Of course, Zhu Xu's scientific and technological work is more high-end, which makes her envious of Zhu Xu. Although her instrument factory is a cooperative unit of the National Tianyan Project, Zhu Xu rarely contacts her because they had a relationship in college. Zhu Xu later married a more exciting Dou Yuzhu, so he kept his estrangement from his first love. However, Lu Jiaxin, who is still single, still has an unforgettable love for him, and today she unexpectedly received a call from him, and it is inevitable that she will not be moved.
However, she seemed very sudden: "Zhu Xu, do you remember me?" ”
"Of course I do. You're not only an old classmate, but also a business partner. ”
"Oh, it looks like you didn't call me to care about me, but for business?"
"Jiaxin, I'm sorry, I have a personal matter that I ask you for help."
Lu Jiaxin looked incredible: "Today's sun is coming out of the west, right?" Why did the top students in our college beg me back then? ”
Zhu Xu was embarrassed, but there was no lack of humor in his words: "Now for you, just like the sun coming out of the west, it's better to regard the sunset in front of you as the rising sun." ”
Lu Jiaxin felt that the other party was mocking herself, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What do you mean? Are you looking for me to make fun of it? ”
"Jiaxin, don't get me wrong, I really have an urgent matter to ask you for help. It's late in the evening, but you need to think of the time as if it were the beginning of the day, because it's very tedious and it will take you a lot of time. ”
As soon as Lu Jiaxin heard the other party's anxious and solemn tone, she knew that he was not joking, and couldn't help but perk up: "What do you need me to do?" ”
