The afternoon passed quickly. Ye Yuting did not show up for the third class meeting. The class monitor Zhang Tianqi went to the office and did not say much when he came back. He arranged for everyone to study on their own. Wen Liang did not know whether Ye Yuting was trying to avoid him or if she really had something to do. If it was the former, it seemed that he had to find a way to eliminate the embarrassment caused by yesterday's impulse. In any way, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Ye Yuting!
When they heard that they could study on their own, cheers immediately rang out in the classroom. In high school, any opportunity to study on their own made these caged-bird-conscious teenagers very excited, and cheers and leaps of joy rose and fell. Wen Liang had recently realized that he was not popular, so he followed the crowd and called out twice, causing Ji Su to cover his mouth and laugh. After a brief noise, Zhang Tianqi stood up and began to maintain discipline. A few troublemakers muttered a few words, and then they all quieted down. Some read novels, some listened to music, and they were busy with their own hobbies. There was no tension before the big exam.
I’m still in the first year of high school and don’t understand the cruelty of my second and third years!
"for you!"
Ji Su handed over his class notes, Wen Liang took them with a smile, and flipped a page. The beautiful handwriting jumped out on the paper. The red wavy lines marked the key paragraphs, and the notes in the headers and corners were clear. As expected of the study committee member of Class 3, he summarized and summarized the knowledge of half a semester in this small notebook.
"Ji Su, you should take first place!"
Wen Liang felt ashamed of himself. In terms of the seriousness of his studies, he was not even one-tenth as good as Ji Su in his past life or this life. Ji Su suddenly made a distressed expression, propped up his chin with both hands, and said, "No matter how hard I try, it's useless. Ji Xiaoling and Cheng Haijun are in No. 1 Middle School. They are like two mountains that can't be crossed. Just thinking about it makes me discouraged..."
Ji Xiaoling was a demon-like existence. Wen Liang knew this person very well even though he was oblivious to the outside world in his previous life. It was said that Ji Xiaoling had always been the first in the city in every exam since elementary school, and had repeatedly won awards in various national academic competitions. Her family had to set aside a separate room to display her awards and certificates. Her name as a child prodigy and a talented girl resounded throughout Qingzhou. In her previous life, she won all the first places in the city in the three years of high school. She entered Tsinghua University as the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangdong Province. After graduation, she entered a military research institute and became one of the talented people whose files were to be authorized. It can be said responsibly that when she was a student, Ji Xiaoling became the darling of teachers and the idol of classmates with her incomparable absolute advantage. She was the most NB person Wen Liang had ever met.
In contrast, Cheng Haijun was a bit more tragic. He was a very smart boy, and he would be outstanding in any school. Unfortunately, he lived in the same community as Ji Xiaoling, and they went to the same school from kindergarten to high school, so he naturally became the second place for a long time, and the gap was very large. At first, he still had the desire to compete with Ji Xiaoling, but after so many years of countless failures, Cheng Haijun accepted his fate and repeatedly shouted that he would never go to the same university with Ji Xiaoling. If she went to Beijing, he would go to Lingnan, and they would never see each other again, which became a joke among his classmates.
Wen Liang made a splash in the last test, taking first place in Class 3, but he was only tied for third place in the school. The first two places were undoubtedly taken by Ji and Cheng, and there were five people tied for third place. In other words, with the cheating weapon of two lives, even though he understood calculus and probability theory, and was good at modeling and quantification, in front of the Huanggang test paper of the first year of high school in 1995, he could only wipe his tears and look up at the backs of Ji Xiaoling and Cheng Haijun. What a desperate reality!
Faced with this unsolvable problem, Wen Liang could only smile bitterly and said, "Since we have Yu, why do we have Liang? Let's curse these two aliens together for buying instant noodles without seasoning packets..."
Ji Su burst out laughing and said, "If you skip fewer classes, you will definitely be able to pass their exams."
"They don't give me any reward for passing the test, so I'd better keep the status quo."
Ji Su turned his head, his big eyes sparkling, and asked, "Well, what if there is a reward?"
Wen Liang's heart skipped a beat. Ji Su's eyes and eyebrows brightened up in a trance. A touching blush appeared on her cheeks, adding a bit of color to the seventeen-year-old girl.
When he got home in the evening, Ding Mei complained to him. Wen Liang coaxed him again and again until he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to escape. At ten o'clock, Wen Huaiming still hadn't come back. Ding Mei yawned and went to sleep. Wen Liang sat in the living room for a while and called Zuo Yuxi's cell phone. He had guessed the reason why Wen Huaiming was late. Xu Fuyan went to Guanshan in the morning to clean up the matter in Shunyi. He should be back at this time. His father must be in a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee. Wen Liang had no way to contact him, so he had to call Zuo Yuxi - at this time in Qingzhou, Director Zuo was the most well-informed person.
After asking about the business and making a few casual jokes, Wen Liang hung up the phone. As Zuo Yuxi expected, Yin Qingquan, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, spoke up to help Xu Fuyan resist the attempt of some people in the province to intervene in the Shunyi grain case, limiting the dominant power to the city level, which gave Xu Fuyan room to maneuver and minimize the possible impact. This matter is not big, but it is not small either. Xu Fuyan's foundation in Qingzhou is gradually becoming solid. If it were not for the direct intervention of the province, there would be nothing to worry about.
Wen Liang put his worries aside, but another thing mentioned by Zuo Yuxi aroused his interest. After meeting Wei Fangshan at the Great World Club that night, Wen Liang asked Zuo Yuxi to find out about his background. He didn't expect that this Director Wei, whom he had only met once, was about to be promoted to the deputy director of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau. From what Zuo Yuxi said, Wei Fangshan had a good future in the post and telecommunications system.
No wonder Xia Mingxian went to great lengths to curry favor with Wei Fangshan, showing no reservations in his flattery. He must have wanted the position of the head of Qingzhou Post and Telecommunications, and wanted to get through Wei Fangshan's connections.
A sneer appeared on Wen Liang's lips. He turned off the chandelier in the living room and slowly sank into the sofa. The moonlight cast a faint shadow on the ground, just like the boy's heart, cold and ruthless!
On the second day, the municipal party committee and government set up a special case team, drawing personnel from the public security, procuratorate and discipline inspection commission, with Zhao Xinchuan, the municipal public security bureau chief, as the team leader, and a deputy prosecutor and Liu Tianlai as deputy team leaders, to investigate the Shunyi County Grain Bureau. Although Zhao Xinchuan did not receive clear instructions from Xu Fuyan, he is an old policeman who has been handling cases for a lifetime. Just looking at the composition of the special case team, without a city leader named, it is known that the municipal party committee has quietly drawn a bottom line. Judging from Guo Changsheng's previous report, the amount involved in this case is about hundreds of thousands of yuan. As long as no other shocking inside stories are exposed, it will be the top if the deputy director is implicated. After removing the heads of the Grain Bureau, let Shunyi push a deputy county magistrate to take the blame, so that all aspects can be explained.
Things became easier once the spirit was understood. After Zhao Xinchuan's arrangements, his subordinates understood what he meant. The task force of dozens of people entered Shunyi in a low-key manner on the night of November 13 without alerting the local people.
Guo Changsheng has had a hard time these days.
That day, he was informed by a friend of the county committee that he was able to stop Xu Fuyan's motorcade in time. The bloody words on his body were written by him with a pierced finger, as if only in this way could he express the unfair treatment he had received in the past few years. Xu Fuyan did not express his opinion on the spot. As a former member of the system, he did not have such extravagant hopes, but Wen Huaiming stayed to coordinate the handling, which gave Guo Changsheng a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, the ending is still cruel!
Wen Huaiming did not make any promises to himself, only saying that he would report the truth to Xu Fuyan. Guo Changsheng waited anxiously and hopefully for the city's reply, but he only received pressure, intimidation, appeasement, bribery, and insults from all levels of the county. In just two days, he was almost skinned. His wife's unit leader talked to her, his children were robbed by hooligans on the way to school and home, and his younger brother in his hometown asked someone to tell him that the ancestral house was doused with gasoline at night and caught fire, burning half of the room. Even his uncle, who had not had any contact with him for a long time and was the vice chairman of the CPPCC, came to persuade him.
He had been filing complaints for many years and had experienced these kinds of things before, but never before had he been as close and violent as this time.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was the conversation with County Mayor Hou Weimin.
Hou Weimin's words were very clear, and it was precisely because of this that Guo Changsheng knew that he was not lying. After all, he had been in the system for many years, and it was okay for him not to know the inside story of many things. Once he knew the cause and effect, Guo Changsheng realized that his gamble of risking his life to stop a car to petition had once again gone to waste.
Maybe, there is no chance!
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, so Guo Changsheng still felt like he was in a dream until he stepped into the hotel where the task force was temporarily staying. When he understood the other party's intention, Guo Changsheng sneered and said nothing!
He doesn't trust these people!
Liu Tianlai and others were stunned, thinking that with the materials Guo Changsheng had collected for many years, it would be easy to make a breakthrough. No one expected that the victims who had been petitioning and complaining would stand on the opposite side of everyone. In desperation, they had to secretly summon some of the people involved in the case, but these people had a buffer period of time, and they obviously unified their statements. Some of them handled the mess very cleanly and did not reveal anything in their words and deeds. After a day and a night, the task force found nothing.
This was what the municipal party committee wanted to see, that they had to clean up their own mess, and that Jiang Wanchao and Hou Weimin stepped in to suppress the incident. But an article titled "The Sorrow of Grain" brought the dark activities into the light of day, and the previous arrangements became shackles instead. This shows the irony of the world!
As the team leader, Zhao Xinchuan promised to understand the case within a week, hoping to save some impression points. He wavered in the dispute between Xu and Zhou, which made Xu Fuyan unhappy. Now that the winner was decided, he became panicked. The pressure was transferred to Liu Tianlai. He was unwilling to argue with Zhao Xinchuan, and returned to Qingzhou to find Wen Liang.
Unknowingly, a crisis is quietly approaching!
