This is probably the most chaotic day in Yanzhou since 1976.
From Xu Tingsheng's arrest and rumors, to the threat of the Ding family in the early morning, to the chaos on the streets in the early morning, and within a day, the Yanzhou City Government was successively disclosed by two wealthy businessmen with official backgrounds, the Xu family and the Ye family. Sued, Ding Miao suddenly disappeared...
Beginning at noon, a huge earthquake in Yanzhou's officialdom suddenly struck without warning. In one day, more than 40 local officials in Yanzhou were arrested, which was unprecedented. The turmoil even spread to West Lake City.
Of course, what more people don't know is that in Bingzhou, a big reshuffle on the black gold land also started this night.
All events point to the same person in the end: Xu Tingsheng.
This may be the most legendary and most elusive name in and outside Yanzhou in the past two years. He is still in the detention center. Trapped in a square inch of land, it stirred up waves and winds in the three cities. That's why the legend is even more legendary and even more incredible.
Only the Dark Horse Club seems to have been convinced that this would be the case. For example, Hu Shengming, an internet celebrity flaunting his wealth and madman, updated his Weibo:
"It's not good to offend anyone... offend Xu Shenzhu."
The accompanying picture is a picture of a rural witch dancing a great god.
Everyone could tell which way the wind was blowing. Xu Tingsheng, who had never lost before, seemed to win another round, and it was a shocking reversal.
Things will soon settle down. However, Xu Tingsheng still stayed in his private room for another night, because the relevant functional departments were in turmoil and there was a problem with the program operation.
In a way it was of his own making.
Yeliang, without agitation and no sense of accomplishment, only a temporary pause without emotion on the road of struggle and transformation, and the feeling of taking a long breath. Xu Tingsheng slept soundly wrapped in a new quilt specially sent by the police this night.
He has a bad habit. When sleeping, he presses a corner of the quilt sideways under his body, on the left side of his chest... the heart is pressed tightly, and people feel more at ease.
…
Yanzhou, mutual sincerity.
Lu Zhixin covered her face with her hands, and sank into the big chair behind the desk, crying with joy.
Tang Yufei leaned against the desk in a hot business attire, red lips, glasses, high heels... This is her daily attire. In her department, the male employees are generally as enthusiastic about their work as chicken blood.
"Crying?!" Tang Yufei said.
"No, I knew he would be fine a long time ago." Lu Zhixin wiped away her tears and said.
"It's fine!"
"Um."
"Stop making your own claims in the future."
"Um."
"Don't forget, he is Xu Tingsheng!"
"Um."
"If I were you, I would just turn it up that night and put him to sleep." Tang Yufei licked her lips, "Then you can... change patterns to 'eat' him every day. Oh... oh, just thinking about it makes me impulsive..."
"..."
"Well, it doesn't seem right to fantasize about him in front of you. Anyway, as long as he's fine. Tell you to trouble yourself... It's not your turn to worry or be happy now. People can't see..." Tang Yufei twitched On the neckline of the jacket, he said with some annoyance, "Actually, I'm the poor one. I wear such hot clothes every day, and I can't flirt with Xu Tingsheng. It's so boring."
"By the way," Tang Yufei continued, "In the past two days of interviewing assistants, there are a few young boys who graduated from prestigious schools who are doing well. The good time when Xu Tingsheng did a chair dance in front of the door...it's so memorable! Why don't you choose one too?"
Lu Zhixin didn't respond in a daze.
"Forget it, I'll give you some private space. I'll go to the meeting room first. Don't forget about the meeting later." Tang Yufei turned and walked out the door.
"You say I admit my mistake, apologize, and then chase him? Is it possible?" Lu Zhixin suddenly said behind her.
"You said you were chasing him, but how?"
"It's like how a normal college girl falls in love with a boy. I mean the kind who is bold, gentle, beautiful and brave. Pass love letters, give gifts, and deliberately sit next to him in class... Talk to him about graduation thesis Lah, let’s make an appointment for dinner at the restaurant…”
"...you're crazy."
"I've gone crazy a long time ago. I should have acted like an ordinary college girl earlier, Xu Tingsheng would like it."
"You should read the meeting materials first."
"Okay. Listed, listed, it will be too late if it is not listed."
Tang Yufei laughed, and Lu Zhixin sighed helplessly. She is Lu Zhixin, she is not ordinary, this will never change.
…
Yanjing, Qingbei, library.
Wu Yuewei may be the kind of ordinary, gentle, beautiful and brave female college student that Lu Zhixin described. Most of the time, she lives with the most ordinary attitude, carrying the linen-colored cloth bag she sewed on her back to class, after class, eating, participating in clubs, having some ideals, and making a lot of hard work...
The difference is that she didn't go to talk about a relationship on the university campus... Wu Yuewei gave the library all the extra time she had because she was single. So even in Qingbei, she can always get a scholarship.
It's like she doesn't really like computers and programming that much, but she still does her best.
In the summer vacation before Xu Qiuyi came to Qingbei, Wu Yuewei did not return to Libei. She stayed with a few classmates to help her mentor with a local government website construction project, gaining experience and earning some extra money at the same time.
Originally, Xu Qiuyi, who had promised to come to school for a while, couldn't make it because of one incident.
This incident made Wu Yuewei restless for several days.
That night she received a text message from Xu Qiuyi.
"The bastard is fine again, we don't have to worry about it again."
In front of a whole studio of teachers and classmates, Wu Yuewei burst into tears.
The college roommate and best friend dragged her to the door.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?" the classmate asked.
After listening to Wu Yuewei's explanation, she said: "So, the person you like is really Xu Tingsheng from Xingchen Technology? I always thought you were joking with me."
Wu Yuewei nodded.
The classmate's eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh, "Oh, don't let the seniors in our department know about that! Especially those postgraduate seniors."
"Why?"
"If you know, Xingchen Technology will be smashed if you want to come to Qingbei to recruit people again, right? Our department originally has few girls and even fewer beauties... It's good that you haven't found a boyfriend now. Whoever you find is the public enemy! "
"..."
"Oh my God, will they attack and hack his website in a fit of anger? Do his game cheats... hack his social accounts..."
"Yes, is it that scary?"
"Of course. Don't you know that they are a bunch of dead IT men? They... are very idle and boring."
"... Then it's better not to let the brothers know."
"Well. But I already know."
"Well, you think?"
"Through nepotism, I applied for Xingchen Technology, and someone covered me. I will definitely have a bright future, right?! Go, tell him, just say that Miss Ben has booked a position as a vice president first."
The two laughed together.
…
West Lake City, hotel.
"Really?... That's okay... It's okay, I know you tried your best, but thank you... I won't be able to eat... I, I may pick him up, maybe... Goodbye."
Apple hung up the call from his father, Cen Qishan.
She has been waiting in West Lake City for many days.
"Are you okay?" Manager Li Juan asked.
"Yeah." Apple nodded.
"Then are you going to pick him up from prison?"
"I, I didn't do anything to help."
"He won't care about this, right? But if you're really nervous, it's okay to call him later. He's probably very busy when he first comes out. In fact, you are also very busy. The recording studio in the United States is rented out. It has been vacant for a few days... the second official solo album, please pay attention to it?"
"Well, book a plane ticket." Apple said with a smile.
When each other is going well, try to move forward on their respective journeys, and when one of them encounters obstacles, stop and try to reach out, no matter whether you can help or not. This state is not perfect, but it is actually a tacit understanding.
"By the way, when you call him, just mention the company's suggestion, and ask him if he is interested in singing a song with you in this album." Li Juan seemed to relax casually as she packed her clothes. Said.
"Ah?" Apple said with some embarrassment, "I, I'd better ask Fu Cheng. I tried to ask Fu Cheng a while ago, and he said that he wants to earn milk powder money for his children... he will do everything except selling himself and breaking the law."
Li Juan chuckled, "Then he is willing to appear directly?"
Apple shook his head, "He said that going out on camera is considered prostitution, no. I think he is mainly afraid that becoming a public figure will affect the normal life of Teacher Fang and Niannian. For him, maintaining his small family of three Living warmly is the most important thing.”
Li Juan nodded, hesitated and said, "Actually, if you really want to return to that natural friendship with Xu Tingsheng, I suggest you mention it to him, be natural...just like before."
Apple thought about it and said, "Well, I'll try later."
"That's right. It's his responsibility to care and help. Don't be polite to him. We don't need to take the initiative to make the relationship so awkward." Li Juan said confidently.
"Yes." Apple said with a bright smile.
…
Yanzhou, the home of Xu Tingsheng and Xiang Ning.
Xiang's father and Xiang's mother tactfully moved back a day early after dinner. Tomorrow Xu Tingsheng will come back... At this time, the future parents-in-law should not disturb the little lovers and tell each other how much they miss each other, it's better to act like a baby.
Du Jin sat cross-legged on the sofa, listening to Xiang Ning chatting all night. She's almost finished talking about what she's been keeping in her mind for the past few days.
Two people are eating snacks.
Xiang Ning said, "Sister Du Jin, can you cook a bowl of supper for me?"
"You still eat?" Du Jin exclaimed, pointing to the snack bags all over the table. During this period of time, apart from Xiang's parents and Xiang's mother, Du Jin was by Xiang Ning's side, comforting and taking care of her. The two of them were not at all like employers, like sisters.
Du Jin, who is respectful but distant to Xu Tingsheng, looks like an ordinary sentimental, gossip and cute girl in front of Xiang Ning.
"I'm afraid he will feel bad when he comes back and sees that I've lost weight." Xiang Ning sniffled and said.
Du Jin's heart melted instantly.
The two sat opposite each other, Xiang Ning was eating, Du Jin was not.
In Du Jin's own words: "I'm already too strong, I have to pay attention to keeping fit."
This... If Xu Tingsheng was here, he would definitely complain about her, "You are a bodyguard, you want to be slim?! Do you have any professional ethics?" Then Du Jin would probably pull out his gun.
Xu Tingsheng always suspected that she had a gun on her body.
But Xiang Ning said: "Well, I think so too. If you fall in love, well, what, once you take off your clothes, you will have a lot of big muscles, much stronger than your boyfriend... maybe your boyfriend will run away."
Du Jin said: "Long live understanding."
After a brief silence, Xiang Ning hesitated and said, "Sister Du Jin, what do you think...that..."
"What?"
Xiang Ning said in a little embarrassment, "If a girl proposes to get engaged on her own initiative, won't it be embarrassing?"
Du Jin said bluntly: "No, I have stayed abroad, and in many places abroad, girls are forced to marry."
"What if... if... what if that girl is only seventeen years old?" Xiang Ning asked vaguely, with her head buried in her food.
Du Jin understood, thought for a while and said, "Xiang Ning, do you know? Men don't want to get married, because they will be controlled and not free. So men actually just have to get married most of the time. In some Eastern European countries In countries such as Latvia, there is a kind of shop that is open 24 hours, not a convenience store or McDonald’s, but a flower shop. Because if a married man drinks with his friends until the early hours of the morning and does not hold a bouquet of flowers, they are very concerned. Might not be able to enter the house. So, a man walking down the street with a bouquet in the wee hours of the morning will always be laughed at by other unmarried young men...”
"Uh, I didn't understand. Sister Du Jin, what do you mean?"
"It's the best time when a man wants what he wants. Even if time will pass, at least that man will remember to hold a bouquet of flowers to make his wife happy, won't he? So, what is age?! Xiang Ning, you have to leave Lu, the time he has to wait for you is too long... really too long... understand?"
Xiang Ning's expression was suddenly enlightened, but in fact she seemed to understand, how could she know the power and horror of time at her age.
"Oh, I understand," Xiang Ning said, "but, Xu Tingsheng...will he be afraid too? Afraid that I will control him...I won't control him. At least not very hard. I just thought, like that , maybe he will not dare to have another accident. Because he must take care of me. I am actually very selfish, sister Du Jin. I originally thought he should help Fang Yuqing and Fang Cheng, but after his own accident, I Become very selfish and hope he never takes the risk of helping anyone again... because he should know that he means a lot to me. I hope I mean a lot to him."
"Well, I understand. You are right, he is actually very irresponsible to you in doing so," Du Jin agreed, "but I still think you have to control him."
"Um?"
Du Jin looked at the little girl she liked very much in front of him, and said, "I believe Xu Tingsheng likes you very much. But, he is too special. So, Xiang Ning... remember, don't let him go too far. Don't let him go too far. He goes on an adventure."
In this conversation, Du Jin spoke from the standpoint of Xiang Ning's sister. Like other people who don't know where Xu Tingsheng's love comes from, she blesses Xiang Ning, but often can't help worrying about her.
"Yeah." Xiang Ning nodded, thinking, I haven't said anything yet, I'm actually a little afraid of him being snatched away.
The fact is, no matter how "abnormal" Xu Tingsheng is, they are just the most normal girls, possessing the psychology and logic that the most common girls should have.
Like a girlfriend who always likes to be a staff officer, Du Jin thought about it, and then said: "Xiang Ning, in fact, I am more worried about whether you have made up your mind. After all, you are still young, maybe you can't judge..."
Xiang Ning nodded and said, "I've made up my mind. I want to be with him forever. Being with him, it seems that no matter what happens in the whole world, I will be loved and protected. I want to love him too."
Du Jin was a little melancholy, and said, "I don't know what it feels like. Maybe very young girls understand. Xiang Ning... you are so lucky."
"I think so too," the cheeky Ms. Xiang giggled for a while, then said, "You know what? Before, he was the tutor for me. Before we were in love, he once took me to the suburbs by bicycle. , and then it rained..."
"Then what?"
"We had to rush home. But we only had one raincoat. He put it on and said, hide in. I just got into the raincoat and hid in his arms. When he was riding, I except him I can't see anything in my chest... I heard the sound of raindrops falling outside, and I heard a lot of cars, all kinds of things, coming and going, and I heard someone yelling 'let' Rang', Rang Rang... But I'm not afraid at all, I feel safe. I just hope that the road will be long that day, and I can always hide in his arms."
Seeing her gentle and beautiful eyes, Du Jin reached out and rubbed her cheek.
"When he comes back, don't let him run far."
