Chapter 1, A Fork in the Road in Life
"Gu Yunfeng, if you want to marry Qiqi, you can do it, but you must promise me three conditions!"
"One, join our Liu family!"
"Second, all your children must have the surname Liu."
"Third, reduce contact with your family, let alone let them live in the house."
"As long as you agree, Kiki can go to you tomorrow to testify."
"And I promise, let you enter the county party committee office and be Secretary Liang's secretary, and you will soar in the future, just around the corner!"
Gu Yunfeng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, listening to the words in his mouth, and his face was a little dazed.
Because this is the scene of thirty years ago!
Thirty years ago, in order to change his fate and reach the top of power, he knelt down on his knees, proposed to Liu Qiqi, and agreed to the request to join the Liu family.
But after marriage, the Liu family did not fulfill their promise to help him progress in his career, and even Liu Qiqi didn't let him touch it much.
A few years later, Liu Qiqi's father, Liu Wenbin, head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation of the middle-aged man who was talking in front of him.
But the strange thing is that in the end, Liu Wenbin didn't have anything to do, but Gu Yunfeng's head was charged with a bunch of crimes.
Corruption and bribery, trading power for money, abusing power for personal gain, causing the loss of state-owned assets, and so on.
These trumped-up charges directly caused Gu Yunfeng to lose his official position and go to prison, and he was sentenced to thirteen years!
It was at that time that he realized that he thought he had leaned on the mountain, but he had become someone else's pawn!
What's even more sad is that his wife Liu Qiqi turned out to be someone else's mistress, and marrying him was just a cover-up, and the child was also that person.
After Gu Yunfeng was imprisoned, Liu Qiqi chose to divorce without hesitation.
Then the Liu family immigrated abroad with the money and was at ease.
And Gu Yunfeng, who spent thirteen dark years in prison, was already in his forties after being released from prison!
For the rest of his life, he also tried to do something, but unfortunately he missed the best years, and in the end his achievements were limited, and he ended up depressed.
Gu Yunfeng didn't expect that he would return to that fork in the road of life.
Is this a dream?
Is I in a dream now, or is the memory of those thirty years a dream?
Or is it a legendary rebirth?
"Gu Yunfeng, what are you thinking? My dad has allowed us to get married, why don't you hurry up and agree? A girl with a beautiful face raised at the corner of her eye urged.
This girl is none other than Liu Qiqi.
Gu Yunfeng came back to his senses.
I can't help but sneer secretly in my heart!
Promise?!
How could he possibly agree?
Entering the Liu family, it is a sinkhole!
Whether he was dreaming now or not, he couldn't jump into this pit again!
And he knew that Liu Qiqi was in such a hurry to urge herself to get married because she was pregnant and looking for someone to take over!
Looking at Liu Qiqi's beautiful face, Gu Yunfeng only felt a burst of disgust and disgust!
It's this woman who ruined her life!
He said coldly: "I'm sorry County Magistrate Liu, I can't agree to your conditions!" ”
He used to call Uncle Liu, and now he starts to call the position.
As for the county magistrate, he was not wrong, because Liu Wenbin is still the deputy county magistrate of Qingyang County, and only became the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee a few years later.
"No promise?" Liu Wenbin's father and daughter were all stunned, "Didn't you have a deep love for Qiqi before, and even knelt down to propose?" said that she could do anything, but you couldn't even do this little request? ”
"It's not that I don't want to get married, but I don't want to marry Liu Qiqi." Gu Yunfeng said in a cold tone.
"What did you say?" Liu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and said with disbelief on her face: "Did you say something wrong, or did I hear it wrong?" ”
"I wasn't wrong, and you heard me right!" Gu Yunfeng said again in a sonorous tone: "I want to withdraw from the marriage!" ”
"Gu Yunfeng, I think you're crazy! Do you know what you're talking about? Liu Qiqi was furious.
"Of course I do! And I'm serious about talking to you about it! Gu Yunfeng said.
"Why? Why are you doing this? Liu Qiqi asked angrily.
"Because the marriage I want is united because of love, not interests, let alone conspiracy!" When Gu Yunfeng said this, there was endless complexity in his eyes.
"Because of love? What a joke! Liu Qiqi raised her eyebrows, and said with a mocking face: "Why did you approach me, chase me, and even kneel down for me?" Isn't it just my family background and background? What is the clear height now? ”
"I was confused at first, but now I'm sober and I know what I really want." Gu Yunfeng said.
"Hehe, I think you're the real fool now!"
"Marrying Miss Ben, you not only have a beautiful wife, but also a strong backer, and you will rise to power in the future!"
"Isn't this what you men dream of? Isn't this what you, an official fan, are after? ”
"Don't you want to raise your eyebrows at home, return to your hometown, and teach your uncle's family a lesson?"
"I can give you all of this!"
"Miss Ben doesn't dislike your poor background, but you regret it and pick and choose? Who gave you the confidence and courage? ”
"Tell you! Miss Ben can make you climb to the sky in one step, and she can also drive you into the abyss! ”
"If your brain is not bad, go back to me immediately, clean up well, and honestly wait for me to get married!!"
Liu Qiqi was commanding, and her tone was full of arrogance and domineering.
Gu Yunfeng took a deep breath, suppressed the rolling anger, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to talk to you more, I just hope that today, we can get together and disperse!" ”
"Good to get together, good to disperse?! Tell you Gu Yunfeng, this could have been! Liu Qiqi said proudly: "If you dare to regret your marriage today, I guarantee that you will regret it!" ”
"Kiki's words, that's what I mean!" Liu Wenbin also interjected and said: "Qiqi promised you to propose, many people know about it, you regret it now, where can I put the face of the Liu family?" ”
"You can put the reason on me, saying that I have a health problem and can't get married in the near future, and then we can find a way to break the marriage." Gu Yunfeng said lightly.
As long as he can get out of the marriage, he doesn't mind being splashed with dirty water.
"What if I don't agree?" Liu Wenbin said coldly.
"I think it's better for you to agree!" Gu Yunfeng said meaningfully: "That Mr. Wei in the provincial city must not want this matter to make too much trouble. ”
This Mr. Wei is the big guy on the side of the Liu family, that is, Liu Qiqi's concubine.
Mr. Wei is in a high position, and many eyes are staring at it, once this incident breaks out, it will definitely affect his career development.
At that time, the life of the Liu family will inevitably not be easy.
So Gu Yunfeng is sure that Liu Wenbin doesn't dare to involve Mr. Wei!
Sure enough, hearing this, Liu Wenbin's father and daughter all changed their faces: "What? You even know Mr. Wei?! ”
"If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do!" Gu Yunfeng said with a slight mockery: "So let's get together and disperse, otherwise it will not be good for anyone to make trouble!" ”
Liu Wenbin's face changed for a while.
He thought about it for a long time before he said with a gloomy face: "Okay, since you have decided, let's go, I hope you don't regret it!" ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes and took a gesture of sending off guests.
Gu Yunfeng stood up without hesitation and walked outside.
Left the Liu family and came to the crossroads of the street outside.
Looking at the crowd of people coming and going, looking at the costumes full of age, as well as the low and dilapidated buildings around and the dirty and messy streets, Gu Yunfeng's expression was in a trance.
These scenes are so familiar and so far away!
All of this was the scene of 30 years ago!
Could it be that he was really reborn?
Walking casually on the street, seeing that it was noon, he found a nearby restaurant to eat.
Feeling the rich smell of fireworks, his trance-like unreality gradually dissipated!
He could be sure that he had really been reborn, back thirty years ago!
Since God has given him this opportunity, he must hold on to it, work hard to change his destiny, and leave his mark in the tide of this era!
So he returned to China Merchants with great ambition.
The county's investment promotion bureau has just been established, and he is currently a small clerk.
But as soon as he sat down, Zuo Wenming, the director of China Merchants, personally came over, put a stack of documents in front of him and said, "Xiaofeng, the introduction of Qingyuan Group will be handed over to you!" ”
"Huh? Managing director! Such a big thing was entrusted to me to do? And I'm low, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right? Gu Yunfeng hurriedly stood up and said with some apprehension.
Of course, most of his apprehension is pretending, but the doubts in his heart are real.
Zuo Wenming didn't see this, or he didn't care at all.
He patted Gu Yunfeng's shoulder and said, "What's wrong with this?" Young people should exercise more! ”
"You don't have any psychological pressure on this matter, we have completed the preliminary work, and the negotiation between the two sides is also very pleasant, you are responsible for the docking and service behind!"
"As long as this is done, I will give you a great credit! Well done! ”
After speaking, Zuo Wenming drew a big pie, turned around and left, without giving Gu Yunfeng the slightest room to ask questions.
Looking at the information of Qingyuan Group in his hand, Gu Yunfeng couldn't help frowning!
And such a good thing?
The preliminary work is done, and I am about to sign a contract, but I suddenly handed it over to myself? Isn't this a performance for yourself?
He'd heard of people picking peaches, but he hadn't heard of anyone giving peaches!
Wrong! This is definitely not right!
The experience of being a human being in two lives made Gu Yunfeng understand that there is no good thing in the sky that will drop pie!
If there is, it's not a pie, it's a trap!
