Wei Gang was held tightly by Zhao Jianguo and others. After all, he didn't do anything excessive and turned around and left with a livid face. Li Shengli, an honest man, also knew that the feud was serious and did not go out to see them off. He looked at their backs and asked worriedly: "Will it cause big trouble? Wei Gang is not a good person"
The night wind mixed with coolness blew over his face. Wen Liang put his hands in his pockets, jumped like an ordinary young man, and said with a smile: "It's really cold today Uncle Li, don't worry, after saying this, Wei Gang, of course I can handle it!"
The first day of opening of Qinghe Soy Milk ended successfully. Apart from Wei Gang, a small unsettling factor, it gained excellent reputation and overwhelming popularity. Many customers who lived nearby came to inquire about the business hours, which made extremely tired Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning very happy. For the first time, they experienced the hard work and joy of doing things. That feeling was something they could never learn in school. of.
Several people went to Fengming Building for a celebration banquet after closing in the afternoon. Wen Liang watched the two women leave in a taxi. He turned around and complained to Li Shengli: "We must find two employees in a few days, otherwise we will rely on these two." You are a young lady, sooner or later I will have to take part in my next life."
Li Shengli couldn't help but want to laugh. During the meal just now, Wen Liang was forced by two little girls to agree to countless unequal treaties. After two days of such employees, all the bosses would burst into tears.
After arriving home, Wen Huaiming had come back. He didn¡¯t say much, he just pointed at Wen Liang¡¯s nose and sighed: ¡°You, you¡¡±
Wen Liang asked with a playful smile: "What did your boss say, you didn't even praise me?"
"I really complimented you a lot." Wen Huaiming seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the living room. He suddenly stopped and stared at Wen Liang and asked, "Wen Liang, you did it on purpose today, right?" ?What exactly are you going to do?¡±
I really can¡¯t tell you what I¡¯m going to do now!
Wen Liang did not answer, but asked: "How is it at the Qinghua Chemical Plant?"
"What else can we do?" Wen Huaiming had a headache when he mentioned this and forgot what he had just asked. "The municipal government encountered great resistance. They insisted on selling the Qinghua Chemical Plant to Fan Hengan in accordance with the established plan. It is a crime against the people to say that measures should be adapted to local conditions and that local conditions should be taken into account, and to apply the above policies in a one-size-fits-all manner."
"Oh, I wear my hat quite high." Wen Liang did not expect that the "Several Opinions on the Reform of Central and Local State-owned Enterprises During the Ninth Five-Year Plan" jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, Planning Commission and other five ministries had been issued to the municipal level. Sorry, Qingzhou actually turned a blind eye and did its own thing. But this is nothing. It is normal in the officialdom to work against the law. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This is how things in the country are messed up.
"It doesn't matter." Seeing that Wen Huaiming was not very interested, Wen Liang comforted him: "From the absolute disadvantage at the beginning to the current competition in the chamber, Xu Fuyan at least has the strength to give it a try, not to mention he still has trump cards in the provincial capital. Dad, you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡±
Wen Huaiming sighed again and said helplessly: "I hope so, just take it one step at a time."
The No. 1 Courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee is located at No. 17 Chunxi Road. It is a two-story villa with a front and rear yard. It is lushly wooded and has oil-green ivy covering the walls on both sides like a lattice. Through the fence, you can vaguely see a house behind the house. A small pavilion, next to the pavilion are two small vegetable plots. This is the most mysterious and eye-catching place in Qingzhou. The successive secretaries of the Qingzhou Municipal Party Committee have stayed here. Along with power, status, and glory, there are all kinds of intrigues and scheming.
Xu Yao slipped into the house and was about to sneak upstairs with her small leather shoes in both hands. Xu Fuyan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper, shook the newspaper. Xu Yao's little face immediately collapsed, and she turned around and left with a sullen head. Come over, throw the leather shoes away, and sit next to Xu Fuyan.
There was no trace of smile on Xu Fuyan's majestic face, and he pointed to the opposite side to signal Xu Yao to sit there. Xu Yao pouted, snorted and moved over, biting her lip and saying nothing. Xu Fuyan's wife is the chief physician of the Department of Pediatrics at the Provincial First People's Hospital, and her organizational connections are still in Guanshan, the provincial capital. It will take some time before she comes to Qingzhou. Xu Yao is sexually active by nature, so she has to come with her, so Xu Fuyan has no choice but to agree.
In this way, Xu Yao was almost like a free-range person in Qingzhou. Only then did she go to No. 7 Courtyard every day to hang out with Wen Liang and ride the bus all over Qingzhou. Only then did the two of them know each other and work together. We share joys and sorrows.
Waiting for his daughter to take the initiative to admit her mistakes, it seems that it is a matter of the 21st century. Xu Fuyan folded the newspaper helplessly and smiled gently: "What? I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you got angry?"
"Settling the account? Dad, are you sure you saw me in Qinghe Doujiang today? Why do I think your eyes are only staring at that brat Wen Liang without even looking at me?"
¡°???, that¡¯s a good attitude! "Xu Fuyan knows her daughter very well. If you ask her questions, she may not ignore you. All she needs to do now is be willing to speak.
If Wen Liang were here and had to vomit a mouthful of blood to express his dissatisfaction, would this still be a good attitude? If he were at Lao Wen's house, he would have been beaten to death long ago?
"But people are more likely to die than others. Xu Yao had no such awareness at all, and said angrily: "Secretary Xu, why did you go to the store today? You were following me, right?"
Xu Fuyan said in surprise: "Oh, strike first and hit the enemy with a rake. Do you know how to do this? Xu Yao, I think you have learned bad things from others, right?"
Xu Yao was shocked as she said this neither lightly nor seriously. She must not let Wen Liang leave a bad impression on her father. As for why not, the girl had no fixed answer.
"No, you see, I'm already working and studying outside, so naturally it couldn't be better."
"You, you, you," Xu Fuyan pointed at her, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but the tone of his conversation suddenly changed, "Does Wen Liang know about me?"
"Of course" Xu Yao opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly remembered Wen Liang's words and stopped the car abruptly, "I don't know you! Before you came to Qingzhou, didn't you give me countless instructions not to let me be exposed outside? Identity, living with the identity of a child from an ordinary family? I remember it all, don¡¯t worry!¡±
Xu Fuyan laughed loudly: "Okay, my girl is the best behaved. However, people's hearts are sometimes very complicated. You think you understand it, but in fact all you see is an illusion, so sometimes you have to look more and think more. , don¡¯t be deceived by illusions. Of course, dad is not saying that those are definitely fake, but you have to be careful"
Xu Yao is an eccentric person, and she can't hear the underlying meaning of her father's words. Ning Xiaoning has already done the same thing, and it turns out that Xu Yao's vision is more accurate than both Xiao Ning's and her father's. Perhaps it has nothing to do with eyesight. They see Wen Liang with their eyes, but they see Wen Liang with their hearts!
At this time, Xu Fuyan was not the feudal official who had more than ten thousand people and was guarding the herdsmen. He was not the man in the officialdom who had exhausted all the agencies and was running around. He was not the secretary who was trapped in the situation and rushed left and right. To Xu Yao, he will always be a kind, loving, strict but gentle father. Of course Xu Yao understood his good intentions and was moved in her heart. She stood up and sat next to Xu Fuyan, hugged his arm, put her head on his shoulder, rubbed her face gently, and whispered: "Wen Liang is a good person. I believe in him."
Xu Fuyan touched her hair and said with a smile: "That's natural. My girl said who is a good person, no, he has to be." Xu Yao, who lowered her head, did not see the cold and stern look in Xu Fuyan's eyes. , and punched him in disbelief: "Are you arranging me again? Are all officials so domineering?"
"Oh, how did you say this?"
"You are not the director of some factory today. You left and made trouble in the store. The soy milk cups fell on the ground." Xu Yao complained. Although Wen Liang and Li Shengli kept it secret from her, the new one hired by the store The employee took a closer look, turned around and told Xu Yao.
"Haha, it's normal for people to have a bad temper when they suffer a bit. When you are doing things, if you bully others, you must have the awareness to be bullied."
Xu Yao didn¡¯t understand these words, but she understood the next words.
"Xu Yao, you should keep what I say below in mind. Wen Liang is a very special child. He is smart, witty, courageous and knowledgeable. The most valuable thing is that at such a young age, he is actually well versed in the ways of the world. I really don't know how Wen Huaiming can teach a child. Yes, I really dare to teach anything! But because of this, you have to understand that in my position, I don¡¯t know how many people have Xingjin¡¯s thoughts"
The following words cannot be said by a father or a municipal party committee secretary. Xu Yao grew up in a family of officials. She has been immersed in everything. Her mind is much more mature than her peers. Her expression darkened and she whispered: "I understand."
Xu Fuyan laughed and suddenly ruffled his daughter's hair, "Don't be so unhappy. Dad has not asked you to interact with each other. As long as you pay attention to propriety, it's good to be friends. There are some things about that kid that Dad still appreciates"
Xu Yao pouted and pretended to be angry, but she couldn't help but think of that boy in her heart. He was gentle but unpredictable, but no matter what his father thought, he was still him.
The girl's mind flew to an unknown distance, but she suddenly felt inexplicable uneasiness. After the holiday, when I see Wen Liang, should I tell him what my father said?
Maybe we should, maybe
The three-day National Day holiday passed quickly, and the business of Qinghe Soy Milk got off to a good start within three days of opening, with customers filling the door from morning to afternoon. Afterwards, Wen Huaiming, under Wen Liang's instruction, wrote an article about Kaige Xu Fuyan's concern about the re-employment of laid-off workers. After being polished and reviewed by Xu Fuyan by the Secretariat, it was published in many newspapers such as Qingzhou Daily.??, which has attracted great attention from society. Especially paired with the photo of Xu Fuyan holding a cup of soy milk, the narration read the words "delicious" in big bold letters. In less than a week, the name of Qinghe Soy Milk became almost a household name.
Business was booming, so Li Shengli immediately hired three more employees. They were all young and delicate girls. They wore uniformly made clothes and fluttered around the store, becoming a beautiful scenery. When Wen Liang had nothing to do, he would just go to the soymilk shop and write in a notebook. He didn't know what he was busy with all day long. Sometimes he would teach Li Siqing to do the homework for the first grade of junior high school. After this period of recuperation and playing around with Xu Yao and the others, Li Siqing gradually returned to her previous personality. She would play pranks on Wen Liang from time to time, but after all, after those two years of purgatory, she was different from her peers. Compared with children, no matter how naughty they are, they still make people feel well-behaved, sensible, and cute.
Since being arrested at the opening ceremony that day, Wen Liang has never seen Xu Yao again.
On the first day after the holiday, Wen Liang came to school early. Everyone had not recovered from the laziness of the three days of National Day. At this time, the huge campus was deserted. Only occasionally could he meet a few classmates riding bicycles. Bicycles passed quickly down the aisle. In the early morning of October, walking under the tree-lined avenues of this era, it seemed that even the wind had a bit of a greenish flavor. Wen Liang put his hand on the guardrail beside the playground, stroking the cold iron surface with three fingers. As he walked, he left three winding traces.
When passing the laboratory building, he suddenly saw two people not far away who seemed to be talking downstairs. Wen Liang had very good eyesight and could almost clearly see the angry roar on Gu Wenyuan's handsome face. Ji Su He just stood quietly, his soft face full of helplessness.
Wen Liang did not stay, and was not interested in knowing what happened between the two of them, so he wandered into the classroom.
By the time Ren Yi arrived, it was almost time for class. Wen Liang smiled and cupped his fists and said, "Brother Qiu Shui, please come."
Ren Yi looked depressed and waved his hand listlessly: "Tang Fang is gone, and Xiao Qiushui is gone. From now on, please call me Ye Ye Qiu Yu under the lonely lamp"
Wen Liang was dumbfounded. Under the lonely lamp in the autumn rain every night, he hated all the heartbroken people in the world. Is that the case? He considered his words and asked tentatively: "Gu Deng, Qiu YuBrother Gu Deng invites you! What did Tang Fang do to make this brother so heartbroken?" Not long ago, Ren Yi claimed to be sworn in China with Xiao Qiushui, and Tang Fang He was still forcibly assigned to classmate Ji Su.
"Bah, Tang Fang is pure and pure, how can he hurt my heart? The key is that someone is interfering now, me, I will naturally fall into the rain every night."
Wen Liang understood immediately upon hearing this. This boy must have known that Gu Wenyuan was pursuing Ji Su and was frightened by the insurmountable mountain. But hasn¡¯t that guy Gu Wenyuan always behaved very gracefully? He had always been polite to Ji Su, so why did he start to pester him so much now that even Ren Yi knew about it?
But these have nothing to do with him, but that girl Xu Yao has not shown up for the past two days. Could it be that she was put in solitary confinement by Xu Fuyan?
The leisurely days lasted for about a week. During this period, Wen Liang discovered a very strange thing. Ji Su, who had always been a good student, started being late in the morning three days ago, and then disappeared without getting out of school in the afternoon. There were two classes today and no one showed up.
It is normal for him to leave this matter to Wen Liang, but for Ji Su, it is absolutely abnormal.
After the second class, it was time for routine exercises, which were temporarily canceled due to rain. Wen Liang felt that the room was too stuffy, so he walked out of the classroom and stood at the corner of the railing on the second floor and looked down. This 2-story Boxue Building is the teaching building for the first year of high school. The second floor is for classes 1 to 4, the first floor is for classes 5 to 8. Opposite is the Xingzhi Building, which also has eight classes. As soon as get out of class is over, you will see a dark row of people at the railing, chatting and spanking in small groups. Occasionally someone spits at the bottom, and is immediately loudly despised by the classmates on the first floor. When they get to the lively place, there are even 20 or 30 people shouting together: "Come up!" get down! He refused to stop until the teacher came out to stop him.
This is just the most common way to vent a boring and lonely high school career. Sometimes you can see magpies driving away classmates with signs hanging around their necks, lining up and marching in goose-step on campus. The reason for goose-stepping is written on the sign. Generally, there are three main components: one is arriving late and leaving early, the other is skipping school, and the third is smoking and fighting. Occasionally, a person with a master level appears and will write on the sign that he is disheveled (slippers, shorts, vest, etc.) Entering the classroom), immorality (usually referring to puppy love), smashing the glass of the Academic Affairs Office (this often occurs), etc. Then the students watching upstairs and downstairs will give thunderous applause and welcome these marchers like heroes.
In Wen Liang¡¯s memory of his previous life, there was a classmate who was paraded three times for five different reasons in seven days. He was given the nickname ¡°Fifteenth Moon¡±, which resounded for a while. In the more than twenty years since then, no one has broken this record!
Thinking of the past, Wen Liang looked a little dazed. sky ?It was raining heavily, and silver water lines were drawn along the eaves, hitting the bluestone path downstairs, making a pitter-pattering sound. As far as the eye could see, it was all foggy, which added a bit more to the entire campus. Fairy spirit.
Suddenly, a slim figure ran over from the heavy rain. The wind blew the azure umbrella around, and every time a foot stepped on the ground, it would splash a series of water splashes. Viewed from a height, it looked like water lilies blooming on her. It blooms behind you, leaving traces lingering on the ground.
It¡¯s Ji Su, she¡¯s still late.
Ji Su, half of her clothes were wet, looked a little embarrassed. Wen Liang, who was sitting behind, occasionally looked over and saw that she was sitting there blankly. The textbook on the table had not been flipped for a long time. Meng Ke stood close to her, whispering something from time to time, the comfort evident on his face.
Wen Liang was calm in his heart and would not bother to ask anything. After lunch after school, when he passed the laboratory building, he suddenly found Xu Yao walking upstairs with her hands in her jeans pockets. The experimental building is five stories high. There is a rotating corridor that can go directly from the first floor to the rooftop of the fifth floor. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire school. It is one of the five sacred places of Qingyi Middle School. Different from the small playground that is a holy place for fights that takes the bold and wild route, the people who come here are all the artistic young women who are sad about the spring and autumn, the heartbroken people who have a fruitless love, the talented people with great ambitions, and the snobby people who are proud of the past. Whether you are depressed or full of ambition, if you come here and stand quietly for a while, you will realize the true meaning that everything in the world is floating in the clouds and life is floating in the air.
But Xu Yao doesn¡¯t look like one of these four types of people. According to Wen Liang¡¯s understanding of her, even if she wants to find a place to relieve her depression, she should go to the small playground to find someone to fight with.
Wen Liang thought for a while, took out a coin from his pocket, and said silently in his mind: If it's heads, he'll follow it, if it's tails, he'll peek, if it's upright, he'll go back to sleep.
?Throw it up, drop it, right!
God¡¯s will is such, and Wen Ling followed him with peace of mind.
Xu Yao has been a little irritable recently. She hasn't seen Wen Liang for almost ten days. She misses her a little and is a little scared, but she doesn't know why. When I passed the laboratory building today, I remembered the legend of the Five Holy Lands of Qingyi Middle School, and I wanted to go up and have a look. Following the spiral staircase to the fifth floor, I was about to push open the closed small iron door when I suddenly heard the wailing voice of a girl coming from the rooftop outside:
"Gu Wenyuan, please, you are the only one who can help me now!"
