In 2023, Huanshan District, Jiang'an City, Handong Province, Jinbitang Hotel.

This is one of the most high-end restaurants in Jiang'an, and ordinary people are afraid to charge money even when they pass by.

The private room of the Feitian Hall is an old class reunion, with bright lights, men and women are staggered, and they are very excited!

Liang Jiangtao, the fourth-level chief staff member of the Research Office of the Ningshui County Party Committee of Jiang'an City, sat in the corner, drinking alone, silent, and out of place with the surrounding environment.

He didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist the warm invitation of the squad leader Chen Ping, so he almost drove him over.

He, the old bun in the county, has been completely reduced to a background board, and his failure and loneliness are used to set off the high spirits of others.

Jiang Mengxue, deputy director of Zhongcheng Law Firm, was wearing expensive mink, like a queen, and next to her husband Guo Tianyu, in a suit and leather shoes, tall and handsome, the two were like stars holding the moon, sitting high on the main seat, enjoying the compliments and praise of the people around them.

Guo Tianyu is one of the largest real estate developers in Jiang'an, not only that, but also undertakes a large number of government projects, is worth hundreds of millions, and is surrounded by sycophants.

"Mr. Guo, you are so amazing, you just took down the class flower of our class!"

"That's not it, Mr. Guo and Meng Xuelang are talented and beautiful, they are a match made in heaven!"

"We all have to thank Mengxue, we found such a good husband, let us old classmates follow suit, a few years ago, who of us has not bought a house at an internal price? Mr. Guo and Mengxue are simply our great benefactors! ”

"If it weren't for Mr. Guo and Mengxue, we would have come to such a high-end restaurant to eat? Can't a few thousand light dishes? And this wine, it's all thatched, it's the first time I've grown up to drink thatch! ”

One by one, the explicit sycophants were patted over, Guo Tianyu and Jiang Mengxue just smiled faintly, not caring at all.

They are born to be human beings, but just a little charity to this group of hard-working people can make them so grateful to Dade, it's ridiculous!

Help them not for the sake of kindness, but to see their lowly appearance!

Guo Tianyu casually glanced at Liang Jiangtao, who was sitting in the corner, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You see, Liang Jiangtao was the prince charming of our class back then, he was handsome, he studied well, and he went to a key university in the provincial capital in college, after so many years, how did he get mixed up like this?"

"I remember he used to be very handsome, but now he has a scruffy beard, tsk!"

"My friends in the county heard that he has a very strange personality and always likes to work against the leader!"

"If I were him, this party would never come, it was Mr. Guo who had a treat, people were more than people to death, and goods had to be thrown away, it was too embarrassing! What a shame! ”

"Mengxue's vision is really good, but fortunately, she kicked Liang Jiangtao back then and threw herself into the arms of Mr. Guo, so that she can be Mrs. Kuo today."

Several long-tongued women chewed on the root of their tongues on the side, and these words were like steel needles, piercing Liang Jiangtao's already scarred heart even more incomplete.

Liang Jiangtao's thoughts went back to 21 years ago, in 2002, the year he graduated from college.

"Jiang Tao, let's break up, my family doesn't agree with our affairs!"

"Your parents are ordinary workers, we don't have the right door, if you can enter the customs, it would be reasonable, now, only break up......."

"Long pain is better than short pain, you forget me!"

"Don't blame me, I can't give my future to an illusory tomorrow!"

Jiang Mengxue's words were like cold nails, nailed into Liang Jiangtao's heart!

It seems that he really got to know Jiang Mengxue this day!

Jiang Mengxue, have you forgotten how we got together in the first place?

He and Jiang Mengxue were high school classmates and studied at Ningshui County No. 1 Middle School below Jiang'an.

Liang Jiangtao is a proper young man in a small town, born in an ordinary family in the county.

Jiang Mengxue's father, Jiang Ming'an, is the party secretary of the county power company.

Although the two families are in the same county, the conditions are one in the sky and one underground.

However, soon after the two were separated from each other in high school, they fell in love.

It was Liang Jiangtao who Jiang Mengxue took the initiative to pursue.

In the eyes of high school students, money and family status are nothing, which is not the same as the adult world.

Although Liang Jiangtao's family conditions are relatively poor, he is extremely good.

A big man of more than 1.8 meters, with a well-proportioned figure, a talent!

He plays basketball well, and he is better than many sports specialists, and he is the prince of basketball.

In the school, it is a famous school grass!

What's more, he studied very well and his grades were always at the top of his grade.

I don't know how many girls are fascinated by it and secretly send autumn waves.

In contrast, Jiang Mengxue is very ordinary.

At the age of not wearing makeup, her appearance can only be regarded as upper-middle, her academic performance is very poor, and the only family background that can be used is not much cared about now.

Jiang Mengxue first fell in love with Liang Jiangtao, and then pursued him madly.

As the saying goes, women chase men compartment yarn.

Facing the enthusiastic Jiang Mengxue, Liang Jiangtao was a young man who was just beginning to fall in love, and finally agreed to be together.

Liang Jiangtao takes his feelings very seriously, although he doesn't have much money, he always uses holidays to work and make money to buy things for Jiang Mengxue.

In the summer, I went to the construction site to move bricks and got tanned.

In winter, I rode three wheels to deliver gas canisters, and my feet were frozen and cracked.

But he didn't complain.

I just want to use all my strength to be good to Jiang Mengxue.

In addition, he tutored Jiang Mengxue every day, which made Jiang Mengxue's grades improve a lot, but it also dragged down his grades a lot.

This is not the end, before the college entrance examination, Liang Jiangtao's score can be reported to Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, but Jiang Mengxue cried to him, saying that with her scores, she will not be admitted to the university in the capital anyway, if Liang Jiangtao is admitted to Huaxia Political Science and Law, the two will be in different places, and when Liang Jiangtao is surrounded by beauties in the capital, she will definitely not be wanted.

She swore that she loved Liang Jiangtao deeply and didn't want to be separated from him until she died!

Although Liang Jiangtao repeatedly assured that he would not change his mind, Jiang Mengxue couldn't make sense, saying that if he insisted on reporting to Huaxia Politics and Law, then she would not take the college entrance examination and would not study, and would rather go south to work.

It can only be said that the boy in love is too stupid, under Jiang Mengxue's willful coercion, Liang Jiangtao did not report to Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, but to Handong Political Science and Law!

In the end, he was admitted with a score of 50 points that exceeded the score line of Handong politics and law!

And Jiang Mengxue didn't even have a specialist line.

Later, Jiang Mengxue was admitted to a provincial junior college after repeating.........

Although Liang Jiangtao has paid a lot for Jiang Mengxue, he has never complained or regretted it!

He thinks that this is all for the sake of this feeling!

But Jiang Mengxue obviously didn't think so.

After Liang Jiangtao failed in the interview with customs, everything became different!

In this era, the allocation of college students has been abolished, and the basic public examination systems such as the "Interim Regulations on State Civil Servants" have been promulgated, but the recruitment system for civil servants at all levels is being explored and established, and a mature public examination system is far from being formed.

In other words, it's not that you can take the test wherever you want, and you can't take the test whenever you want, but only in the current year, and you have to be recommended by the school.

Although Liang Jiangtao is a high-achieving student, the customs application quota is still very valuable to him.

Customs is a vertical management organ, the welfare benefits are far higher than the local, and the promotion opportunities are also greater than the local, and it is one of the several departments in Jiang'an City.

For a fresh graduate, that is, the two offices, the Development and Planning Commission, the Finance Bureau, and the Construction Committee can be compared.

If he is admitted, Liang Jiangtao can basically be regarded as having a great future, just like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, if he fails the exam, he is a mortal, and now college students are no longer the pride of the sky.

It's a pity that he failed to get in, which not only means missing the customs, but also means losing the opportunity to enter politics.

Hanging in the balance!

On the other hand, Jiang Mengxue, who graduated from junior college this year, entered the Linjiang District Procuratorate of Jiang'an City by virtue of her family relationship and solved the career editor!

The position of strength and weakness between the two has been turned upside down!

As soon as Jiang Mengxue joined Linjiang District, with her good appearance and figure, she immediately aroused the pursuit of many people.

Almost without any hesitation, Jiang Mengxue agreed to one of the best suitors, that is, Guo Tianyu of the Jiang'an Municipal Construction Committee.

Then he proposed to break up with Liang Jiangtao at lightning speed, and the means were thieves!

Guo Tianyu's family background is much more prominent than Jiang Mengxue!

His father, Guo Jian, is the executive deputy head of Linjiang District, and he has a lot of power!

Later, he became the deputy secretary of the district party committee, the director of the municipal planning bureau, the director of the construction committee, and the director of the finance bureau, and later retired as the vice chairman of the CPPCC.

Guo Tianyu soon resigned from the Jiang'an Municipal Construction Committee and became a real estate developer, with a large business and assets of more than 100 million.

Jiang Mengxue decisively made her choice, but for Liang Jiangtao, his career and love were all disillusioned in an instant, and this slap was so hard that it almost crushed him!

After that, Liang Jiangtao's family did everything they could to let him enter the Ningshui County Judicial Bureau, but because he adhered to his principles, he offended the leaders and was assigned to the most remote township.

At this point, he has completely changed from the pride of the sky to a joke!

From someone else's child to a negative teaching material.

The successive blows made him depressed, and he became more and more reticent, and hibernated in the township for ten years.

Later, with a solid foundation in writing materials, he entered the political research office of the county government, and later transferred to the research office of the county party committee, and his mood was better.

At work, he is conscientious and strives for excellence, but he still does not change his true colors, adheres to his principles, and never follows the crowd.

Many years have passed, he is still a staff member, and later, with the east wind of system reform, he was given a fourth-level chief staff member in care.

It stands to reason that the fourth-level chief clerk in the county is already very good, and many people can't mix with a deputy section in their lives, but compared with Liang Jiangtao's ability level, they are far from worthy.

Many of his classmates have already reached the department level, and the best ones have even reached the deputy hall!

Those who do business, not billionaires, are embarrassed to say.

As a lawyer, he also became a partner of the Red Circle Law Firm, earning a lot of money and having a certain status in the capital.

And he, this life is like this, like a dream.

A good hand, a sparse hand!

Don't blame others, blame himself!

Softhearted!

Naive!
