The moment Liu Yufan opened the door, a familiar feeling hit him.
All the furnishings in the house are the same as they were three years ago, without any change. Even the placement of pen holders and documents on the desk has not been touched once. Standing where he was, Liu Yufan could even feel Sister Ya's familiar scent.
However, the office chair facing him was empty at the moment, as if it was still waiting for its owner.
Seeing things and thinking about people, Liu Yufan couldn't help but feel sad at this moment.
As if feeling his state of mind, Siying quietly came to him, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Yufan, it's all over, don't talk anymore. Think about it."
He reached out to hold Siying's hand that was holding his arm, and patted it twice. Yufan held back the tears that were about to flow out of his eyes, and said softly: "Siying, I know, I'm fine."
Looking at this scene in front of him, Ma Wendong couldn't help but sigh. This cousin of mine has had a bumpy relationship life. She originally fell in love with her student, so she was burdened with too much pressure, both from her family and from society. She chose to bear it silently alone. But now, seeing that the two of them were about to achieve enlightenment, such an accident happened again. My cousin's life was really too painful.
Looking at Chen Siying next to Liu Yufan, Ma Wendong couldn't hate her. This is a very sensible woman. When Jiang Ya was alive, she treated her very well. She even knew what happened between her and Yu Fan, but she didn't mind at all. The relationship between the two people had already surpassed Teacher, student or sister.
From Ma Wendong¡¯s point of view. Liu Yufan is not like Chao Qin and Mu Chu. Not to mention him, even Ma Wendong himself has many "confidantes" outside. With Liu Yufan's wealth, it is extremely difficult to achieve such a level. And he can see it too. Whether it is for his cousin or for this girl Siying, Liu Yufan is sincere. And outside, I have never heard of any bad behavior from him. For a business tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions, he is still so young. Being able to do this is really rare.
I just lament that my cousin is not blessed enough to enjoy this marriage. Thinking of this, Ma Wendong sighed secretly in his heart, took two steps forward, patted Yufan on the shoulder, and comforted him.
"Brother Dong, you don't need to say it, I know it all in my heart. I have been out in the past few years. You have to worry about these things at home." Yufan turned around and looked at Ma Wendong, saying gratefully.
Looking at everything here, Liu Yufan knew without thinking that Dong was taking care of it. Not just here. Even his parents at home called him several times. In addition to complaining that he came home too little, they praised him for being such a good brother. On weekdays, whether it was during holidays or Sundays, as long as he came home once When he had time, Ma Wendong ran to his house. Treating his two elders like his own parents, Ma Wendong is quite happy with Liu Yufan if he can do this.
"Brothers of the family, why are you saying these things? Haha, let's go, let's not just stand here. It's noon and you rarely come here. Let's go. Brother Dong will pick you up. In Jianghai two days ago, I just opened This restaurant has a few special dishes, would you like to try them?" Ma Wendong said with a smile.
"No, Brother Dong, I also want to go to Sister Ya's house to see my uncle and aunt." Liu Yufan rejected Ma Wendong's kindness and said with a smile.
"Where are you going? But" Ma Wendong was stunned for a moment when he heard that Liu Yufan was going to meet Jiang Ya's parents. He knew that because Jiang Ya insisted on being with Yu Fan regardless of her family's opposition, she had a lot of conflicts with her family. Over the years, although Yufan had helped his family a lot overtly and covertly, looking at the situation in front of him, Yatou's parents didn't seem to appreciate his kindness. If he goes to see those two people now, he will inevitably receive a lot of cold looks. Why bother?
Seeing Ma Wendong's worried look, Liu Yufan said with a smile: "Brother Dong, it's okay. I have always felt guilty in my heart over the years. Even if they want to beat or scold, it is right." After saying that, Liu Yufan turned around and looked at Siying and said : "Siying, please ask Brother Dong to drive you back to Dazhai Village first. I will go there in the afternoon."
Siying also knew that Liu Yufan was not suitable to go to meet Jiang Ya's parents, and she could also feel Liu Yufan's mood that he must meet Jiang Ya's parents. She nodded to him without saying anything.
"Okay, Brother Dong, Siying, I'll trouble you." Liu Yufan turned around and looked at Ma Wendong and said with a smile.
"Brothers from the same family, why are you talking about this? I'll get angry if I'm polite to your Brother Dong again!" Ma Wendong said, grinning, and then punched Liu Yufan.
"Well, I'll go then, Brother Dong, Siying, let's meet in the afternoon." Liu Yufan said, waved to the two people, and walked straight downstairs.Watching Liu Yufan's car leave the door, Ma Wendong sighed and said: "Hey, Yaya girl is really in trouble, such a thing has happened, otherwise it would be great for you to be together now!"
After hearing Ma Wendong¡¯s emotion, the corners of Siying¡¯s eyes were slightly moist. Ma Wendong is a rough man, but because of this, the words coming out of his mouth have an even more uncomfortable feeling.
The car drove slowly on the highway, and after more than half an hour, it entered the urban area of ????Jianghai.
"Compared to Fu'an County, Jianghai has developed rapidly in the past two years. Liu Yufan no longer recognizes most of the buildings on both sides of the road. In the past two years, due to the establishment of the coastal tourist city, Jianghai's city appearance has been greatly improved, especially in cultural development, many achievements have been made. For example, the newly built library, the largest in the province, the Jianghai Heart Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 people, and the Jianghai Grand Theater have all become new landmark buildings in the city.
Of course, Jianghai¡¯s rapid development is partly due to the country¡¯s increasing support for coastal open cities year by year, and also because Jiang Yifan, the newly appointed Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jianghai City, is committed to development in this area.
In the past few years, Jiang Yifan's official career has been smooth sailing, from deputy director of the Propaganda Department to director of Propaganda and member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Turning to the executive deputy mayor and mayor, two months ago, the old secretary of Jianghai City, Qu Bin, retired. Among the many competitors, Jiang Yifan once again stood out and took the position of the first brother in Jianghai City. With such a strong rise, many people can't help but wonder about the supporting force behind him.
The third floor of the Municipal Party Committee Office Building. In the east-most office facing south, Jiang Yifan was sitting in an office chair in front of him. A slightly bald old man stood in front of him and kept explaining something. His face was covered with sweat.
"Old Xu, I'm not telling you, but you can't be too indulgent towards these actors. This cultural festival is of great significance. Not only the provincial leaders participated, but also a director of the Central Propaganda Department came over. At this time, he gave up his choice. This is obviously not politically sensitive. Go ahead and do their job properly, but there is one thing, regarding the performance fee. You are not allowed to add a penny to them, this is a matter of principle!" Jiang Yifan waved his hand and said, There seemed to be an angry look on his face.
He, a dignified city leader, would let others threaten him on such a small issue. This is something he absolutely cannot bear. Because I used to work on the propaganda and cultural front. Therefore, since Jiang Yifan took office, he has been very tight on this area of ??work and has been very effective. This time, the "Love of Rivers and Seas" Cultural Festival is a high-quality project led by the Municipal Party Committee and jointly created by the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Department of Culture. It is also the highlight of this year's "Tourism City Establishment". It took more than half a year to prepare. Tonight's performance is the highlight of the highlights, and there is absolutely no room for error. But who would have thought that some of the actors who had agreed long ago would suddenly change their minds on the spot, claiming that the performance fee they were given was too small and asking for more money. Of course, the government cannot afford this amount of money, but who is Jiang Yifan? When he was in charge of publicity, only the actors had always bowed to him. When would it be their turn to ride on Jiang Yifan's head and dominate him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Okay, Secretary Jiang, then I'll think of a solution." Hearing Jiang Yifan's words, the Propaganda Minister named Xu bent down even lower, but a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. According to his opinion, even if the city just spends a little more money to complete this matter, what's the point of arguing with those young actors? But this secretary is good at everything else. Even on this issue, he is very tight-lipped and refuses to back down at all. This makes it very difficult for him as the Propaganda Minister.
To be honest, as the mouthpiece of the party, the Propaganda Department has a lot of affairs on weekdays, but generally there is nothing particularly important. However, Jianghai City's Propaganda Department was different. The secretary personally took charge of it and paid special attention to it. He even made publicity work the focus of the city's work. This doubled the pressure on him as the Propaganda Minister. Although this is a good thing to a certain extent, after all, not everyone has this opportunity to be in constant contact with the municipal party committee secretary. But the problem is that the secretary's requirements are too high, and Minister Xu often feels that he is unable to do what he wants. Sometimes, he even thought about quitting being the Propaganda Minister, but he really couldn't withstand the pressure. But he couldn't say this. If he really did, let alone others looking down on him, his own political life would be over.
"Hey, didn't I tell you? Secretary Jiang is waiting for guests, and you really can't go in. Why are you like this? If you come in again, I'll call security!" Suddenly there was a noise in the corridor, although Jiang Yifan's office The sound insulation equipment is very good, but the sound is very high, and I can still hear it a little bit.
The next moment, the doorbell rang at the door.
In Jiang Yifan¡¯s office, the doorbell is an electronic one.style. After the doorbell rang, he saw the person standing outside through a small screen next to his desk. When he saw the person's appearance clearly, Jiang Yifan was slightly startled, hesitated, and then pressed the button to open the door.
With a soft sound, the door opened from the outside. Liu Yufan, wearing a black casual suit, walked in from the door calmly. Behind him, followed a middle-aged man wearing glasses who was a little angry. However, after walking into the office, the middle-aged man The person immediately put on a resigned look.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Jiang. This man insists on seeing you. I told him that you were meeting guests, but he just didn't listen. I couldn't stop him no matter what" This man with glasses was obviously Jiang Yifan's secretary, and he expressed regret for not being able to stop Liu Yufan. When he came in, he felt very annoyed and looked at Jiang Yifan's face, fearing that he would be angry.
This is also normal. As a secretary, the most important thing is to block some troubles for the leader and deal with some things that the leader is unwilling to face. Leaders have great power, and there are many people who ask leaders to do things every day. Leaders cannot meet everyone. If you want to see whom or not, the secretary needs to filter it first. If this job is done well, the leader will feel much more relaxed, but if it is not done well, the leader will be very distressed, and this distress can easily turn into dissatisfaction with the secretary.
So now. The secretary looked at the young man and almost wanted to eat his heart out. But that person didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist. On the boundary of Jianghai. How much hidden power does the first secretary of the municipal party committee have? I'm afraid people who are not in the officialdom can't even imagine it. Here, whether they are officials or businessmen, they must be polite when meeting him. When had he ever been so ignorant?
"This idiot from out of town, when I know who you are, I have to take care of you!" Secretary Guo Peng looked at the young man standing in front of the secretary, with a sullen look in his eyes, but looking at the secretary there, But he didn't dare to let out his fire.
Seeing the secretary trying to explain, Jiang Yifan gently waved his hand at him, indicating that it didn't matter.
"You go out first." Looking at secretary Guo Peng, Jiang Yifan ordered calmly.
Hearing Secretary Jiang¡¯s instructions, the secretary was obviously stunned for a moment. Look like this. Secretary Jiang seems to know this young man?
Thinking of this, his mind was spinning, and he immediately reflected on his attitude towards this young man just now. After thinking about it carefully, I found that there was nothing too outrageous except that my breath was a little urgent. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. At first, he did think that this young man was petitioning the secretary to complain. But now it seems that the situation seems not quite right.
Hearing what the secretary said, Guo Peng immediately bent slightly towards him, turned around and carefully closed the door.
"Secretary Jiang. Since you have something to do, I'll leave first." Now that the secretary has spoken, Minister Xu naturally wants to take notice. Although he also wanted to know what the relationship between this young man and the secretary was, in official circles, sometimes curiosity can kill people, and he obviously understood this very well.
"No, Lao Xu, you stay, it'll be fine." Seeing Minister Xu about to leave, Jiang Yifan stopped him.
"Hello, Uncle Jiang. I'm sorry that I just barged in without contacting you. I didn't bother you." Liu Yufan stood in front of Jiang Yifan and greeted him. Although he said sorry, his expression But very calm. This surprised Minister Xu who was still nearby. Who is this young man? I have never seen him be so calm and composed in front of the secretary. This young man is not an ordinary person.
In fact, this is also the reason why Minister Xu had little contact with Jiang Yifan before. Jiang Yifan's old subordinates, as long as they have been with him for a long time, generally know this young man Liu Yufan and know about Jiang Yifan's daughter.
"You're already here, why bother? Sit down." Jiang Yifan pointed to the sofa on one side and motioned for Liu Yufan to sit down, and he sat down again.
Picking up the tea cup in front of him and taking a sip of tea, Jiang Yifan looked at the young man in front of him.
Jiang Yifan was definitely not a stranger to him. Jiang Yifan had already known him as early as four years ago, when he was a child. Of course, at that time, he himself was just a propaganda minister.
Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed. In the past four years, a lot has happened. Yesterday's kid has grown into a young man, a world-renowned business tycoon, and he has become the municipal Party committee secretary. The only regret is that his daughter is gone.
As a politician, Jiang Yifan has a clear mind and a rational understanding and judgment of things, but this does not mean that he can abandon human instinct. Although he is now successful in his career and famous, the pain of losing his daughter is still a huge blow to him.generally. In the past few years, every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would often dream of his daughter, acting coquettishly in front of them, with her voice and smile as before. But after waking up from the dream, my pillow was wet with tears. He himself was fine and could adjust his career, but his wife Liu Fang's spirit had been getting worse every year in the past few years. He saw it and felt pain in his heart.
Now that he was facing Liu Yufan again, he couldn't say he hated him, but he was definitely unhappy. In any case, it was because of him that my daughter went to Beijing alone, lost her stable job, and rejected the pursuit of countless people. As parents, they were strongly opposed to this obviously inappropriate marriage at first. However, my daughter is born with a soft character on the outside but strong on the inside. If she decides to do something, she will do it regardless of the cost. Originally, seeing Liu Yufan's career developing better year by year, the two of them were opposed to this marriage at first, and then gradually approved of it. But who knew that an accident would make all their hopes come to nothing.
Jiang Yifan knew that his smooth career in the past few years was absolutely inseparable from this young man, but he did not appreciate it. No matter what, he couldn't let go of the pain of losing his daughter!
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Yifan didn't call Liu Yufan by his name, but just asked lightly.
"Nothing special, I just wanted to come over and see you when I got home." Liu Yufan looked at Jiang Yifan and said. His words were also full of endless bitterness. As the saying goes, seeing things and missing people, when he saw Jiang Ya's father, he naturally thought of Jiang Ya.
"Yeah." Jiang Yifan said in gratitude, but didn't say anything else.
"Secretary, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Looking at the strange atmosphere in the office, Minister Xu really couldn't bear it.
"Don't leave yet. He's here just in time. You can resolve your matter with him." Jiang Yifan pointed at Liu Yufan and said calmly.
