Du Yan couldn't help but be startled when he saw Cheng Huaimin sitting with Chu Ping. He didn't expect to see Hong Ziming and Cheng Huaimin, two old acquaintances of Shencheng, one after another in this day. If it was a coincidence, Du Yan I don't believe it at all. "Uncle Cheng," Chu Yilan was also quite surprised. She bowed slightly to Cheng Huaimin, looked back at Du Yan behind her, and then softly called "Dad" to Chu Ping who was sitting on the main seat. Du Yan walked over. Standing side by side with Chu Yilan, he knew that in front of people like Chu Ping, only being honest was the key, and after he saw Cheng Huaimin, he was even more convinced of this idea. "Secretary Chu," Du Yan used the previous title for Chu Ping. He noticed that Chu Ping's face looked very cool to that of the Chu family siblings. His well-maintained face moved slightly, and then he looked at him with a pair of peaceful eyes, and then Du Yan also followed Chu Yilan's example and bowed slightly to Cheng Huaimin who was sitting aside and looking at him. "Secretary Cheng is here too." "Xiao Du, we meet again," Cheng Huaimin nodded slightly, and then he stood up. He said to Chu Ping, "Secretary Chu, it's time for me to leave. We will have plenty of time to chat in the future." "Yes, I am very crowded here now. Now that you have been transferred here, if you don't come, no one will come." Chu Ping chuckled, and then told Chu Yilan, "Send Uncle Cheng off for me." Although Chu Yilan felt uneasy after hearing her father's instructions, she still smiled and asked Cheng Huaimin, "Uncle Cheng, please transfer to Hexi." "Yes, I came here in a hurry and unprepared for the transfer order issued a few days ago. If I didn't come over to see your father first, I would be completely blind to the situation in Hexi. I need to understand it from the beginning. Just in time, Yilan, please tell Uncle Cheng about the situation here." Cheng Huaimin nodded to Chu Ping and then walked out the door. Chu Yilan had no choice but to accompany Cheng Huaimin out of the main room, but when she walked out of the door, she still couldn't hold it back and looked back slightly at the back of Du Yan, who was standing in front of Chu Ping. Seeing her like this, Cheng Huaimin, who happened to turn around to see this scene, couldn't help but shake his head slightly with emotion. "Sit down." Chu Ping ordered Du Yan. His tone was very calm. He didn't have the calm and powerful aura that is common in other leaders. However, Du Yan knew that the person in front of him was definitely a formidable person. Although he has retired, he still vaguely affects the direction of the entire political situation in Hexi. Even if his career was interrupted due to previous setbacks in his official career, the development direction of the inland provinces in the country is now , but still somewhat influenced by Chu Ping¡¯s previous concepts. But for such an incredible person, he touched his daughter. Thinking of this, Du Yan even admired his own courage. "Yijun has mentioned you more than once before," Chu Ping said slowly. He didn't speak quickly, but Du Yan was so focused that he didn't dare to hear a word of his words. "And Benchu, I told you about you." Not only is he a rare economic talent, but what is even more rare is that he can not only make bold plans, but also have the courage to turn the plans into reality. " At this point, Chu Ping stopped, picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and looked at it. When Du Yan stood up to get the lighter on the table, he waved his hand slightly to stop him from doing so. Chu Ping did not light the cigarette, but just put it under his nose and sniffed it a few times: "The doctor advised me not to smoke more. You probably haven't heard Xiaolan say this." After hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yanlue He smiled sheepishly, but a layer of cold sweat broke out in his palms! Fortunately, I didn¡¯t ask Chu Yilan for more details about Chu Ping¡¯s life, otherwise it might have been a self-defeating thing! "In addition, I know something about you," Chu Ping continued to say slowly, "You are from an ordinary working-class family. In addition to your parents, you also have a younger sister. You are an adopted son, but you have a very good relationship with your adoptive parents. "In addition," Chu Ping said slowly, his eyes did not seem to be threatening, but his words revealed invisible pressure, "You also have a girlfriend, or fianc¨¦e, because you have already received a marriage certificate, right?" "" Du Yan was not surprised when Chu Ping told him his situation. He knew that all this was too easy for Chu Ping. In fact, in Hexi, if Chu Ping really wanted to know who There really was no one who could not avoid being dug out by him. Seeing Du Yan nodding silently, a gloomy expression appeared on Chu Ping's peaceful face for the first time. He reached out and grabbed the lighter on the table and lit the cigarette in his hand, but he only took one puff and then twisted it. Died in an ashtray. Looking at the squeezed and deformed cigarette, Du Yan couldn't help but think that in Chu Ping's mind, he probably wanted to kill himself like this. "What are you going to do? I'm asking what you are going to do to Xiaolan," Chu Ping said.His expression returned to calm, he slightly narrowed his phoenix eyes that looked very similar to Chu Yilan, and looked at Du Yan carefully, "You are very smart. I know from the things you have done before that you are not ordinary." That kind of intelligence, but a kind of intelligence that can see things through. In this regard, Bingxian also admires you. I know that you have a good relationship with He Bingxian, but I think you don¡¯t really understand him. It can be said that Bingxian First of all, this person is very arrogant. I have not seen many people in his eyes so far, but he respects you very much. He even compared you to his original self, but said that you are much more mature and sophisticated than he was then. , I can tell you that if he hadn¡¯t persuaded me again and again, I would have left you unable to eat.¡± Suddenly, I heard Chu Ping say such words that were not only direct, but even a little bit arrogant, Du Yan was telling the truth. He was a little surprised, and what made him even more unexpected was that Ding Bingxian had actually seen the relationship between him and Chu Yilan, but before that, he had remained calm, which made Du Yan couldn't help but feel, Although he had never underestimated Ding Bingxian, he was actually negligent. Ding Bingxian was able to lie dormant for such a long time after Chu Ping sadly withdrew, and with his always vicious eyes on people, to say that he couldn't see the hidden things between the two of them, he really underestimated Old Ding. But now Du Yan didn't have time to think too much about Ding Bingxian. Facing Chu Ping's patient eyes that showed invisible pressure at any time, Du Yan thought about it calmly and finally said calmly: "I like Yilan. Regardless of the reason why this happened, I do like her, but I have to marry my fianc¨¦e, and this cannot be changed no matter what the consequences are. " Listening to Du Yan's opening, it was completely closed. Chu Ping's right hand, which was originally on the sofa, suddenly tapped the armrest slightly. Although it was just such a small movement, Du Yan immediately felt the aura emanating from Chu Ping's body and the previous changes. Although He was still sitting so calmly, but Chu Ping at this time seemed completely different from before. "I am not talking to you as a pure father now," although Chu Ping's tone did not change, Du Yan could already feel a certain coldness in his words, "but as a father and a leader of the provincial party committee." When talking to you as someone else, you have to think clearly about the impact that marrying Xiaolan will have on you personally, on your family, and even on your future career partners. I know you should be very clear about what I said. What is it? I can tell you clearly that your marriage to Xiaolan is no longer your own business. If other people knew about it, they would also agree with this decision. " Du Yan listened silently. When he saw Cheng Huaimin just now. , he had already vaguely felt that the matter was a little subtle, because he knew that since Chu Ping knew that he was coming, even if the visitor was Cheng Huaimin, he would not be able to keep Cheng Huaimin at home without caring at all, and even let him bump into him. Now when he heard Chu Ping's words, Du Yan suddenly realized that maybe this was news that Chu Ping wanted to spread deliberately. As if he had read through Du Yan's mind, Chu Ping said slowly: "Lao Cheng came here just now to talk about what you guys did in Huayang at noon. It was very good. I was so angry that I, Chu Ping, were so angry. They have a good relationship with each other's daughters, and they even fought with Renmin University for Xiaolan, and the ones they fought were the sons of Xiao Aihong and Hong Bin. Your plan was good! " At the end of the sentence, Chu Ping's tone suddenly mentioned, but he continued. He steadily picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "Do you want to marry your fianc¨¦e now?" "Yes." Du Yan's answer was simple and clear. After hearing this answer, Chu Ping saw that , just glanced at him and then continued to drink tea, Du Yan said: "Secretary Chu, I just admitted that I like Yilan, and I did hit Hong Ziming for her at noon today, but I must make it clear to you. , since you know my situation very well, you must also know the relationship between my fianc¨¦e and I and the things we have experienced, so I cannot marry Yilan. If you hate me because of this, you will even destroy me. I have no complaints, because I am indeed sorry for Yilan." Chu Ping's hand holding the teacup was firmly placed on his lips. Even after hearing these words that could be said to be desperate, the look on his face remained. He was so calm and showed no signs of irritation, but the look he looked at Du Yan became deeper and even emotionless. It wasn't until he took a sip of strong tea that he nodded slowly: "I think I think you want to marry your fianc¨¦e instead of Xiaolan, but you can't tolerate Xiaolan marrying other men, right? " Du Yan's face turned slightly red. If Chu Ping listened to him, It was enough to yell at him immediately after saying that, but now it was all about his thoughts, which made Du Yan feel a little embarrassed for a moment. "I understand, you have a big appetite, and you are even more daring.""" Chu Ping remained calm, then changed the topic and asked, "Do you know Hong Ziming's mother, Xiao Aihong." " Du Yan nodded slightly: "Deputy Secretary of the Shencheng City Party Committee, a powerful figure in charge of the political and legal department. " "She will soon serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Eastern Guangdong, the first provincial and ministerial-level female political and legal committee secretary to date," Chu Ping said lightly, while his eyes drifted to a picture of "The Political and Legal Affairs Committee" on the wall next to him. "Picture of Plum Blossoms in the Snow", Du Yan noticed that the signature of the painting was "Civil and Military Waste Man" "This was given to me by Ziming's father Hong Bin. Our two families are family friends. I made a wrong move at the beginning. Hong Bin My husband and I, Xiao Aihong and his wife, helped me a lot. I, Chu Ping, owe them a favor. " "There are various ways to repay favors," Du Yan, who had been an audience member, suddenly interjected. He saw Chu Ping turning to look at him. Du Yan continued, "When he was in Shencheng, Hong Ziming acted inappropriately and even He was involved in some car smuggling with a complicated background. It was because of this that he was sent to the capital to temporarily avoid the limelight. You should have heard of this. " Du Yan looked at Chu Ping's expression and thought quickly in his mind. He knew that it was meaningless to tell Chu Ping about Hong Ziming's various misdeeds in Shencheng. When the official position reached their level, ordinary people's moral standards Codes and even laws and regulations have long been out of their consideration. Unless it is because of political struggles, no matter how ridiculous things Hong Ziming does, Chu Ping may think that he is not worthy of being cultivated, and will not think that he is Not a good person. Sure enough, when he heard Du Yan's words, Chu Ping raised his head and glanced at him. Although he didn't say anything, this undoubtedly meant that Du Yan continued to speak. "Secretary Chu, you know better than me. Hong Ziming's father, Hong Bin, used to work in the People's Bank of China system. Later, after Vice Premier Shang officially took charge of the daily work of the government, he was transferred to the north to serve as the boss of the Automobile City." Du Yan continued, "Now Hong Ziming can come to Hexi to work as the Tongyang branch. Vice President, no matter what his abilities are, you must know better than me what this means. Even now, even Secretary Cheng has been transferred from Shencheng. Secretary Chu, what do you think of this matter? " After Du Yan finished speaking in one breath, he stopped speaking. He knew what he should say and what he shouldn't say. He even said it clearly even some words that could only be understood but not expressed in words. Looking at Chu Ping's expression, With an expression that had always been difficult to fathom, a thought that seemed absurd but became more likely the more he thought about it suddenly flashed through his mind: "Of course Chu Ping knows what's going on here, but he can only think about it but cannot say it. From this point of view, he may not be Let others say this. ¡± ¡°Whether you can say some words, whether it is said by others or by yourself, is different in taste and result. It¡¯s just that some people can say these words, and some people just can¡¯t. ¡± Du Yan put it He simply said the words directly. Now looking at Chu Ping's expression that seemed to remain unchanged no matter what happened, Du Yan couldn't help but think that maybe it would be time to finally see the truth under Du Yan's gaze. Chu Ping looked at the tea cup on the table, but before he reached out, Du Yan had already picked up the small red clay pot next to him and poured it into his cup. "Have you ever worked as a secretary for Li Peizheng in Pingling? Chu Ping asked casually, but he didn't want Du Yan to answer, so he continued to say, "Li Peizheng is an honest official, but he may not be a capable official." " Hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yan couldn't help but feel a sudden tremor in his heart. "Chu Ping knew about Li Peizheng, of course, through Ding Bingxian or Chu Yilan, and Du Yan probably had a greater chance of getting to know Li Peizheng through Ding Bingxian, because Chu Ping She will definitely consider that in order to achieve results as soon as possible, Chu Yilan may sometimes appear to be a little eager for quick success. In this case, Li Peizheng, who has always been known for his stability, will of course seem a bit out of date in her opinion. Thinking that Ding Bingxian would give such an impression to Li Peizheng, Du Yan couldn't help but think to himself that maybe Li Peizheng's position as secretary of the county party committee was about to end. In fact, even Du Yan had to admit that Chu Ping had such an impression on Li Peizheng. The "official" comment can be said to be just right and very objective. After Li Peizheng arrived in Pingling, although at first he seemed to break the rules and did not follow the previous style of mainland political cadres who always emphasized political colors and adhered to the conservative style. However, judging from the development in the past three years, Li Peizheng has been somewhat unable to achieve his goals, and has even made no achievements. It is obvious that Li Peizheng's economic ideas are still stuck. In terms of the early model, although he did put in a lot of effort, he still had no particularly outstanding results. If it weren't for the gradual formation of several important industries in the new district that brought him some glory, it can be said that Li Peizheng was not successful in the past few years when he was in charge of Pingling.What Du Yan didn't understand was why Chu Ping suddenly mentioned Li Peizheng at this time. He knew that Chu Ping was by no means the kind of person who just said whatever he thought of, so in this case, things might be a little more interesting. Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Chu Ping continued: "Taihua has a relatively complete railway system, and because of its special geographical location, a few years ago I imagined that we would build a network radiating to Hexi and connecting Hexi with it as the center. Among the railway projects in several provinces in the mainland, Pingling was selected as a transfer station among the central hubs. " "The inter-provincial railway plan," Du Yan said softly, contained countless meanings for Chu Ping, even The name of almost a lifetime ambition and dream, but then Du Yan shook his head slightly and said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, this plan came at the wrong time and came too early." For the first time, after hearing Du Yan's words, There was an unusual change on Chu Ping's face! Sometimes, even if some good things benefit one party or even the country and the people, not only may they not be realized, they may even die midway due to various reasons. Or, if it is done by others in the future, it will be a good thing, but if it is done by others now, it may become a disaster. The inter-provincial railway plan proposed by Chu Ping with great ambition at that time could allow the inland provinces to communicate with developed coastal areas early and thus boost the inland economy earlier. However, if this plan is realized, it will undoubtedly affect some coastal areas. Competition and development in important cities. Especially for some people, it is the backwardness and isolation of the inland provinces that can not only provide cheap resources to coastal cities, but also create conditions for the monopoly of resources in the future. This includes not only the rich inherent resources of the inland provinces , including some energy monopolies that are firmly in the hands of certain people and have a huge impact on the country and unimaginable economic benefits. For example, the power system almost completely controls the lifeline of the national economy and even resource allocation! And Chu Ping¡¯s plan undoubtedly violated the interests of those Tongtian bigwigs! Because of this, Chu Ping's plan was questioned and even made things difficult by all parties as soon as it was launched. It is also because of this that Chu Ping finally left Hexi in a hurry when he was in the prime of life, which was the golden stage of a person's political career. political arena. Now, Du Yan directly revealed this scar that was absolutely taboo and painful for Chu Ping. This made even Chu Ping, who had always been steady and calm, finally have some fluctuations in his emotions. Looking at Du Yan, after a while Chu Ping said: "I don't need to explain it to you in detail. Since you already know what Hong Ziming and Cheng Huaimin came to Hexi for, don't you think you should marry Yilan? I I think you also know that if you want to make achievements in your future career, based on your current ability and performance, if you go well, it is not impossible to get the treatment of a deputy minister or even a full minister when you retire, but you should also Understand, what I¡¯m talking about is that when everything is going smoothly for you and no one is targeting you, judging from the commotion you are making now, your future may not have a happy ending. " Chu Ping just finished speaking, "Dang. There was a faint sound of the collision of objects coming from the door. "Xiaolan, come in." Chu Ping said in a slightly raised tone towards the door. As the door rang softly, Chu Yilan walked into the room holding a set of plain porcelain tea sets inside a sapphire pigment disk. . "Dad," Chu Yilan didn't even look at Du Yan, but carefully placed the tea set on the table in front of Chu Ping, "This was given to me by the New District Succi Factory when I went down to inspect the work. I usually drink tea, why don't you see if the quality is good enough for a regular cup of tea?" Chu Ping looked at Chu Yilan, who had a natural expression, and then looked at the plain porcelain tea set on the table, and stretched out his hand. He picked up a cup and touched it slightly, then put it down. "Xiaolan, about your affairs, you should know why Huaimin came here today. What do you think about your own affairs?" Chu Ping did not pick up Chu Yilan's words at all and asked straight to the point. The calmness on Chu Yilan's face suddenly shook. She couldn't help but look back at Du Yan, then turned back and said to Chu Ping in a declarative tone: "Dad, I've thought about it clearly. I will never get married again." As soon as Chu Yilan finished saying this, she heard the chair Du Yan was sitting on behind her creaking. She did not look back at Du Yan, but continued to say to Chu Ping, "Dad. "Uncle Cheng has a good relationship with you, but he must have come to Hexi with bad intentions this time. Hong Ziming also served as the vice president of the People's Bank of China branch as soon as he came. It seems that they are really paying attention to Hexi." "So you rejected Hong Ziming's proposal?" Chu Ping looked at Chu Yilan, then at Du Yan sitting behind, then leaned back in the chair and raised his head slightly to look.From above, he let out a soft sigh, "I have stepped back. I can ignore your young people's affairs, but you can't let me worry about you when I am old." "Dad" Chu Yilan just called There was a sound, and then suddenly stopped. Du Yan noticed from behind that her shoulders were shaking slightly, obviously trying not to cry. "Du Yan," Chu Ping called Du Yan's name directly for the first time, "I have heard about your fianc¨¦e. She is very virtuous and capable. I heard that she has done a lot in Donghai City. The most important thing is that I know that you are indeed very good. Care about her." At this point, although he immediately turned his head away when he saw Chu Yilan, Chu Ping still continued: "Cheng Huaimin came here just now to propose marriage for the Hong family, but he should also know my attitude. So let¡¯s forget about it.¡± Hearing what Chu Ping said, Du Yan nodded secretly. He had already guessed that Chu Ping deliberately let Cheng Huaimin see him coming back with Chu Yilan in order to reveal the news to him. In addition to the fact that he had just beaten Hong Ziming, it was unlikely that anyone with a temper would raise the issue of marriage again, let alone someone like Xiao Aihong. Thinking about it this way, when Chu Ping recalled that Hong Bin and his wife had helped him, he should have felt a little guilty. However, Du Yan also knew that for a person like Chu Ping, this little apology could not shake his long-established determination. It was obvious that Chu Ping had no intention of letting Chu Yilan marry Hong Ziming from the beginning! "So Du Yan, I asked you to come today just to ask about your plans for Xiaolan. Now that you have made it clear, I will respect your choice." Chu Ping didn't seem to want to after hearing this. Chu Yilan took the opportunity to interrupt and continued, "I know you have a good relationship with the Song family, but I also remind you that I have seen the restructuring plan you made. I can only describe it in six words. You will never die without a burial." "I think you also understand that no matter whether you handle this matter well or not, there will be no good results." Chu Ping's words made Chu Yilan's face change, and she looked back at Du Yan, with a look in her eyes. However, there was a hint of concern that had never been revealed before. Looking at this scene, the two men in the room had their own thoughts in their hearts. Du Yan smiled slightly at Chu Yilan. Of course he knew that Chu Ping was definitely not trying to scare him. Just as Liang Benchu ??said to him back then, there were some things that others could do that he couldn't do. Now Chu Ping simply told him If he continues like this, the road ahead will definitely be extremely dangerous! However, Du Yan also knew that he had no way out. He stood up and bowed slightly to Chu Ping. Under Chu Yilan's worried gaze, Du Yan said: "Secretary Chu, I am very aware of my current situation, although I dare not say that it is because of this that I cannot be with Yilan. Marriage, but I believe it won't do any harm to her. " "You mean, if you encounter setbacks in the future, your fianc¨¦e can share the difficulties with you, but Xiaolan won't?" Chu Ping looked at it. He looked at Du Yan and saw that Chu Yilan immediately turned her head and glared at Du Yan after hearing what he said. Chu Ping slightly picked up the cigarette on the table, took out another one and put it under his nose and smelled it gently. It's a pity that you haven't met Xiaolan's mother. If you had met her, you wouldn't say this. " "Secretary Chu, I don't mean that. I mean, Yilan wants to inherit your political ambitions. If it's because of me. It¡¯s not worth being implicated. Also, do you think that if I really marry Yilan, both the Song family and Governor Gao Ke will continue to support my move in restructuring as before? " Chu Ping's hand holding the cigarette paused slightly, he put the cigarette on the table, and then took a good look at Du Yan. "What are your plans in the future?" Chu Ping asked. "Secretary Chu, I will go to the capital to attend Song Jiayi's wedding in October. After that, I will report to Mr. Youbo of the Song family on the restructuring plan." Seeing that Chu Ping has already revealed that he wants to end this conversation Meaning, Du Yan decided to tell his future plans. He thought that the meeting with Chu Ping might only be once. But now that he thought about it, Du Yan discovered that he had always followed Chu Ping's original plan. , but as a latecomer, because of the extra decades of experience and knowledge, I was able to gradually avoid the dangerous shoals that caused Chu Ping's official career to collapse. Put your own plans into action. And now, it¡¯s time for him to finally step out of Chu Ping¡¯s footsteps. Just as Gao Ke finally stepped out of Chu Ping¡¯s influence and developed his own political ambitions, now it¡¯s Du Yan¡¯s turn. Chu Ping nodded silently. He looked at Du Yan and then at Chu Yilan, who was standing next to him with a slightly lonely expression, and said, "I don't want to ask any more questions about your affairs. Everything is your own decision. Everything is yours." It¡¯s all yourselves to bear.¡± Seeing Chu Yi.After hearing his words, Chu Ping showed an expression of joy or shock. A rare and slightly teasing smile appeared on Chu Ping's face. Then he turned to look at Du Yan, but his expression slowly changed. He lowered his voice: "Since you don't regret your choice, I won't force you, but you have to remember that from now on, things between you will be completely resolved by yourselves, and you won't get anything from me. Help, if there are any rumors about what happened between you, I will only protect my daughter. As for you, it is up to you to deal with everything." Chu Ping's voice was not harsh, but Du Yan felt that he heard it. There was an indescribable aura of thunder in it. Perhaps at this moment, Chu Ping seemed to have truly transformed into the feudal official who was in charge of a province. But he was like this just for his daughter. ! "In officialdom, sometimes you should know how to advance and retreat, and sometimes you should know how to hide, but these are just means, not fundamental. What is really important is that you should know who is your friend and who is your enemy at any time, and at the same time, you should also know who is your friend and who is your enemy. How do these friends and enemies come about? Only by knowing this can we understand how to avoid those enemies and how to make friends. It was because I didn't understand this before that I made the wrong step," Chu Ping seemed. He shook his head slightly with emotion, then he stood up and walked slowly towards the door, but when he passed by Du Yan, he stopped, turned to look at Du Yan and said in a slightly erratic voice: "Remember me What I said to you today is that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the officialdom. As for what to do, it¡¯s up to you. " "Thank you, Secretary Chu," Du Yan said slightly to Chu Ping, who was walking towards the door. Bowing, he knew that Chu Ping's last few words could be said to be the experience gained from his many years of ups and downs as an official, and Du Yan also vaguely realized that these words were not just Chu Ping's general advice to him, but indeed had a profound meaning. Tips. However, Du Yan also knew that with Chu Ping¡¯s identity and status, since he said he would not help him, then he really would not help him! Chu Yilan accompanied Chu Ping out for a long time before returning to the main room. Her eyes were slightly red. When she saw Du Yan approaching, she stepped back with a strange and distant look in her eyes: "I'll take you out. "I'm sorry Yilan." Du Yan could only say this. He knew that he had indeed hurt Chu Yilan, especially when he told Chu Ping that he decided to choose Su Qian. Having arrived outside the house early, she had almost heard the conversation between herself and Chu Ping. "You didn't apologize to me. It was my own fault from the beginning. I shouldn't have gotten involved with you." Chu Yilan turned around to walk out of the hall, but Du Yan grabbed her from behind. "Yilan, promise me, give me some time," Du Yan suddenly whispered in Chu Yilan's ear. He saw Chu Yilan's eyes suddenly light up, and he shook his head slightly, "Some things cannot be changed, but I can promise you that one day I will make you feel that you have not been wronged by being with me. " "What I care about is not whether you are wronged or not," Chu Yilan said with a hint of stubbornness, but then sighed softly. "My dad said you have a big appetite and a lot of sex and courage. You are really good. Do you want me to spend time with you without knowing it?" "Of course not, but who knows what will happen in the future? What?" At this point, Du Yan couldn't help but think of what Chu Ping said to him, "Yilan, promise me, give me some time." Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan in confusion, she didn't know how to respond. Du Yan made this request that she clearly knew was hopeless. After a while, she turned around and walked silently out the door. Du Yan followed Chu Yilan, and the two of them walked to the door of the courtyard without saying a word. Aunt Qiao, who originally saw the guests coming out and was going to open the door, saw this scene and returned to the house knowingly. For a moment, the courtyard There were only two people standing opposite each other at the door, silent. However, it was Chu Yilan who broke the silence first. "Cheng Huaimin is here to serve as the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee this time," Chu Yilan looked at Du Yan, "He asked you specifically just now, and he also said" At this point, Chu Yilan looked at him with slightly doubtful eyes. Talking to Du Yan, "He said that some superior leaders are very concerned about you, especially the restructuring plan you proposed, which attracted the attention of the relevant leaders." Du Yan's expression immediately changed. He saw that Chu Yilan was confused because of the doubt on his face. Frowning slightly, she couldn't help but raise her hand. Before Chu Yilan could stop shouting in a panic, he had already gently stroked her eyebrows with his fingers: "Don't frown, you won't look beautiful." After that, Du Yan Before Chu Yilan could let out a dissatisfied scolding, he reached out and opened the courtyard door and walked out. Chu Yilan didn¡¯t expect Du Yan to leave immediately. She was stunned and immediately followed him out. But when she got to the street, her expression changed.After calming down, and after politely shaking hands with Du Yan and saying goodbye, Chu Yilan watched Du Yan turn around and leave without any nostalgia. Looking at his back, Chu Yilan couldn't help but feel a trace of lost melancholy in her heart. But when she returned to the courtyard and saw Chu Ping standing under the Moon Gate looking at her, Chu Yilan finally showed unconcealable sadness in her eyes. "Xiaolan, come here and talk to me." Chu Ping walked to the bamboo bench in the yard and sat down. Watching his daughter sitting silently in front of him, Chu Ping showed a smile that rarely appeared in front of others, "Actually, you know, If I want to see that kid today, I won¡¯t do anything to him, right?¡± ¡°Well,¡± Chu Yilan nodded, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Ping, ¡°Dad, what do you think of him?¡± "How about it?" Chu Ping looked up at the flower stand above his head, nodded slightly, and then slowly shook his head, "He has the courage and courage to do what others don't dare to do. It's a pity that he was born in In a civilian family, it is destined that his success will not belong to him, and the more successful he is, the more dangerous the outcome waiting for him will be. " Seeing the worry on his daughter's eyebrows after hearing this, Chu Ping gently said. Sighing: "Xiaolan, I don't blame you or him for what happened to you. I think if your mother was alive, she would be satisfied with my attitude. But listen to dad and let it go. This will be harmful to both of you." "Everything is fine." Chu Yilan shook her head slightly at a loss. She stood up and walked to her room in confusion. Looking at her daughter's lonely back, Chu Ping was silent for a long time and whispered to herself: "Du Yan, step out now." , But there is no way out." When he returned to the Provincial Party School, it was completely dark. From a distance, Du Yan saw the bright lights in his room in the dormitory building. Du Yan knew that Lao E and the others must be there at this time. Can't sleep. In the Huayang Hotel, Xiao Zhu had already told him that the result of his arrogant resignation was that everyone, including Director Xia of the Provincial Government Inspection Office, was left in the cold. Everyone was no longer on the scene, and Director Xia really had no choice but to reprimand Deputy Director Xu to put the whole matter on the back foot. Du Yan walked slowly along the gravel road. When he entered the dormitory building, he felt that the people passing by him were looking at him strangely. Could it be that the news spread to the party school so quickly, or was someone deliberately letting the news out and trying to punish themselves?

He was slightly startled when he saw Du Yan, and then looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and then stepped aside. "Lao Wang, I'm really sorry for what happened today. I didn't expect to involve you" Du Yan, who thought Lao Wang was angry, walked into the room and explained to Lao Wang with a smile, but soon he felt Something seemed wrong in the room. When he followed the eyes of the men who were crowded together and looked towards his bed, and saw a pair of beautiful girls sitting side by side on his bed, Du Yan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but asked in shock: " "Why can't it be you?" "Why can't it be us?" Zhao Xiaoyun, wearing a striking military uniform and showing off his hot figure, asked coldly. Next to her, Song Jiawen, who was wearing a pink and white summer dress, rested her small chin on Zhao Xiaoyun's shoulder, squinting like an elf who had just played a prank, and looked at the stunned Du Yan with a smile.
