It is like a ray of sword light, illuminating the lonely and rushing river, and illuminating the boundless dark night.
The sight of the two people coming hand in hand like this made the No. 10 Middle School, bathed in the sunset glow, feel a lingering restlessness.
In the classroom, Su Hongdou and Ma Ke hugged each other. It was unclear whether they were excited or really happy for their friend, but then they both looked angry. "Last time we went to Shanhai, and now... these two people, it seems that they have planned this all along!"
Su Hongdou asked, "What should we do now? Liu Ke often goes online and asks me about Jiang Hongshao's situation intentionally or unintentionally... What do you think I should tell him?"
Marco opened his mouth in surprise. "Liu Ke, that stuffy guy!... What I remember most is that he dressed neater than women, and his shoes were always spotless. When he accidentally rubbed some dirt on the flower bed, he wiped it again and again under the faucet, just like a peacock. He gave himself an English name, Lion, when he was studying abroad. He really thought he was very manly. He used to look like he didn't like to get close to us girls. This guy has always been interested in Hongshao? What else can I say? If he knew what happened today, I could guess that this guy didn't look good on the surface, but he must have been crazy about Cheng Ran's name and background. Su Hongdou, you are not nice. Why didn't I hear about this? You kept it a secret from him... Okay, okay, this is still a small problem. The problem is Brother Gao Lin. I used to visit their house when I was a child. He treated me as a sister. Last time I went to Hongshao's house for dinner, before leaving, he told me that he was in the third year of high school and asked me to help take care of Jiang Hongshao. If she was too hard at studying, we should take her out to play more, so that we can combine work and rest..."
"But the point is..." Marco didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I really want to tell him right now, how can I take care of him! I can't even take care of myself!"
Su Hongdou said, "I was thinking... this matter can't be covered up anymore. If it gets out... will those people we know, those who know Hong Shao, explode? And people like Hong Shao's mother and Aunt Jiang will definitely know about this through many channels. I don't know what will happen... It feels very scary..."
Both thought of the hurricane that would be set off among their friends.
Combined with what Su Hongdou said, Marco couldn't help but shrink his head, "It's really, really scary..."
The people who came in from the back of the classroom were talking about something in a low voice. Someone said with certainty, "I can guarantee that it was Vice Principal Zhang Shu! He was clearly over there on the playground, and he must have caught the football player like he always does. There's no point in protesting. He is ruthless and will deal with whoever he catches..."
"So, he was originally going to catch the football player, but when he saw Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao, he left through the back door?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone exclaimed, "That's awesome..."
A group of people wailed, "There is no justice... there is no human rights..."
Su Hongdou and Marco looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. These two people even the vice-president had to avoid, it seemed that the worries and concerns that they had just thought about for ordinary people, could they still apply to them
In the autumn wind, Luo Wei, who was on another floor, said to Shu Jiexi, "If you had seen this scene a year ago, what would you have thought?"
Shu Jiexi thought for a moment and said, "I would think that no matter who it is, that kid will have no idea how he died this time! He can't wait for the others, so we can take care of him."
Luo Wei nodded, and after a moment he let out a long breath, his voice sounding like anger and a shout, "That's Brother Jiang!"
Shu Jiexi nodded. He could understand this feeling. Yes, that was the person they thought was the benchmark they knew so far, a model of the Youth League, an Olympic champion, and the representative who went out to show off his face whenever there was an inter-school event at No. 10 Middle School. He was a Grand Slam player in both strength and charm.
Shu Jiexi said, "I used to think that people like Hongshao are self-disciplined, have ideological pursuits, have extremely high life goals, and have the ability and perseverance to achieve them in the future... Luo Wei, don't be angry when I say this. You and I, I think we may have some abilities in the future, so we won't starve to death in society. With the protection of our families and the support of others, we may live better than most people. But you and I are actually just ordinary little people, unable to stand out or make a name for ourselves... But Hongshao is different. I think she will achieve something in any field and will not be unknown. So even now in high school, she will not stop for anyone or anything, and no one can keep up with her. I'm not limited to school, even those we know."
"but… "
Shu Jiexi paused, "I never thought... that someone would show up halfway through this."
Luo Wei cursed, "Damn it, I'm not willing to accept it, but if it's Cheng Ran, there's no need to reason with him at all. I don't have a temper!"
Shu Jiexi sighed, "So, the two of us, after the evening study is over, let's go and have some drinks and eat some skewers... No one will yell!"
"Right! No one will be yelling!" Luo Wei said, "Don't give them any drink! Especially those two cool guys!"
After evening self-study, the two of them went out to drink. They found a small barbecue stall, drank until their faces were red and their necks were thick. They talked about the past while clinking the bottles of wine. They talked about all kinds of embarrassing things in high school, such as fighting, skipping classes, stealing Zhonghua from their father's box at home, running around the school to pretend to be rich, judging a certain girl's beauty, and losing all their New Year's money in the game hall. They often lent money to their family members and said that they went to the Internet cafe to play all night after watching the game at their classmates' house...
That night Luo Wei finally looked up and said, "Just like what you said, actually after seeing Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao today, I suddenly felt that at the end of high school, I didn't seem to have any regrets."
"but… "
“Why is it so full of regrets…”
…
When Jiang Wei returned home, Li Jingping had just finished washing and changed into pajamas. It was near the end of the year and there were many work reports and meetings. Li Jingping was in Chengdu to attend a provincial tourism city development meeting and would stay there for a few days. He had been in the hotel for the past few days and today he had time to go back to his home in Chengdu.
Jiang Wei had just attended a celebration party held by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government for those units that won national science and technology awards last year.
Seeing that Jiang Wei was still capable after returning, Li Jingping put his handbag back in the room, came out to wash his hands and change his clothes. Li Jingping peeled some fruit and handed it to her after she came back and sat down. However, Jiang Wei spoke first, "How is the situation over there?"
Li Jingping smiled in his heart. His wife was used to leading the environment and controlling the overall situation. He seemed to have never seen her relax. He said, "I raised the topic that tourist cities should establish brands, closely focusing on the theme of culture, and focusing on exploring this type of cultural resources. The first is historical and cultural resources. The second is characteristic architectural cultural resources. The third is the cultural tourism economic line resources of the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road'. The fourth is religious cultural resources. The fifth is modern and contemporary revolutionary cultural resources, the Long March track, battlefield history, the red cradle... The second is food resources and natural scenery resources. Senior official Zhao gave good feedback, and we will discuss and implement it at the meeting next."
Jiang Wei nodded. "Old Zhao is in charge of this area. This year, he emphasizes that the province's tourism work should focus on 'core competitiveness'. You and he have the same idea of making culture the focus of tourism publicity and important resource development. Should I congratulate you in advance? Old Zhao wants to make Shanhai a window and signboard for the provincial tourist city. This time, the support will definitely be strong."
Li Jingping smiled and asked, "How about you?"
Jiang Wei nodded, "Not bad."
Li Jingping was stunned for a moment, then a teasing smile appeared on his face. "It seems that things are not going well. It's just a celebration party, and something unpleasant happened?"
Although there was no clue on the surface, Jiang Wei's unusual silence on her own affairs made Li Jingping sense her unhappiness. For his wife, who had a strong ability to control herself, if her work was going smoothly, she would have been talking to him as freely as she was talking to him.
Seeing Li Jingping asking for answers, Jiang Wei took two more bites of the apple, put her hands on her knees, and said, "It's not a big deal. It was a celebration party to honor people who have made contributions to science and technology, and I met a few old friends. But you know Zhao Qingtong, right?"
"Professor Zhao, how come you don't know? The vice president of the Polytechnic University? He is your classmate. Didn't we meet last time? Why did your classmate embarrass you?"
Jiang Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Facing her husband, she didn't need to be cautious when speaking. "This Zhao Qingtong might be mentally ill..."
Li Jingping was stunned, and then he saw Jiang Wei openly saying, "At the table, she kept talking to Cheng Feiyang, asking for advice on parenting experience. I read some interviews with other people, and it was like grabbing a float in the ocean. You didn't see Cheng Feiyang's look when he said his son was in No. 10 Middle School. He was so impressed, even more arrogant than when he used me as a banner... No wonder, he is the vice president of a university of science and technology. In their university, students from No. 10 Middle School generally don't fill out applications, so they think that all students from No. 10 Middle School are gold nuggets. Besides, don't I know what Zhao Dantong is like? His son is at least studying in an undergraduate university, and he is not a bad parent, so he hasn't asked others for parenting experience. It's just that he, as the vice president, wants to win a cooperative relationship with Cheng Feiyang. In the final analysis, it's still money worship!"
"Also... Cheng Feiyang's son went to No. 10 Middle School, so he is a good parent?"
Jiang Wei looked at Li Jingping, and the latter felt a chill down his spine when she stared at him. "How did that guy get into No. 10 Middle School? If it weren't for your precious daughter... would he have gone to No. 10 Middle School? His grades there can't be as good as Jiang Hongshao's!"
"... Good parenting? Haha... Is this Zhao Dantong blind? But it's no wonder. Since he is the classmate that he always can't get around, it's normal that he doesn't know what's going on."
Li Jingping looked at the angry Jiang Wei, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. It seemed that she still remembered the anger that Cheng Ran had left in her heart. No wonder, a woman like Jiang Wei, who couldn't even deal with a little devil, couldn't help but feel a little angry. Maybe she could let it go temporarily by not caring about a little devil like Cheng Ran. But if this wildfire kept raging, it was inevitable that she would be annoyed and couldn't help but suppress it.
Hey, woman...
Especially a strong-willed woman like this.
Cheng Feiyang came from the mountains and seas. On the one hand, he had some respect for Cheng Feiyang, as a person, but on the other hand, he still felt close to him. And to some extent, he and Cheng Bin, who became a member of the Standing Committee this year, were allies and on the same side. However, he had mixed feelings towards Cheng Feiyang's son, Cheng Bin's nephew Cheng Ran.
This kid is just like a scout on the battlefield. No matter how hard you defend yourself, he will always be able to find your rear.
He is also a number one headache.
So he still did not comment on this. Jiang Wei just complained for a while, and then it was over.
The phone rang. It was not a landline number that was usually used for business purposes, but Jiang Wei's mobile phone that was placed on the table. She picked up the phone, looked at the incoming call, and answered it.
After receiving the call, Jiang Wei hummed twice and hung up.
When he looked over again, Li Jingping saw that her expression had changed suddenly.
"It was from No. 10 Middle School."
Li Jingping's heart sank, "What's going on?"
He noticed that Jiang Wei was looking at the window in a daze at this time, and then she calmly repeated to Li Jingping what happened in No. 10 Middle School.
These two politically powerful figures seemed to be caught off guard at this moment. Because it concerned their most important daughter, and their daughter had openly announced her affair with Cheng Ran in school, the two were not angry, but they were definitely not happy either.
Li Jingping sighed, "It's something that has to happen eventually."
Jiang Wei's voice became sharp, "So let it go!"
Li Jingping asked, "What else can we do?"
Jiang Wei said coldly, "This kind of thing usually starts from the boy's side."
Li Jingping said, "If it's a normal situation, of course we can do this, isn't it just calling the other party's parents... But why did you call Cheng Feiyang over to talk to us? How effective will it be?"
Yes, if it were an ordinary person, this kind of thing would usually just be solved by asking the parents to take the matter to a higher level.
If it is useful, she will never be stingy with her intimidation and coercion, and may even put on a show to make the other party feel that a disaster is imminent.
But the people on the other side, Cheng Feiyang and his wife Xu Lan, were not ordinary people, so they could not put pressure on them. Not to mention that Jiang Wei had once fought with Xu Lan, but it didn't end well.
Li Jingping was silent for a moment and then said, "I think that since Hongshao is back, we should keep silent about this matter."
Jiang Wei said, "We can pretend we don't know, but she must know we know. Ha, she's my own daughter, and I don't know?"
There was an annoyed look on her face, but in the end, her emotion slowly subsided.
After calming down, she sneered, "It doesn't matter... It's just the last period of time anyway."
But she was still upset, so she picked up the phone, thought about it, and called.
Chen Huiyan, who received the call, laughed and said, "Comrade Yueqin, who is at the celebration banquet, how come you have time to visit your old friend who works on the front line?"
Jiang Wei started with a barrage of words, "Chen Huiyan! You always brag about your abilities, and you keep giving away titles like the Queen of Real Estate... Let me ask you, you have so many strategies and projects, but can you suppress the Yanhuang that Xu Lan and her team are doing in the local real estate market? If you can't be the number one in the local area, I think you will be taken away by others sooner or later. You might as well quit as soon as possible and go back to your place in the southeast!"
