Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

After the car left Nanzhou City, Cheng Yiyi's headache started to get better.He put his head on the pillow and closed his eyes.In front of him, there was always Wu Lanlan's shadow and the August starry sky flickering in the lights. Last night, when Cheng went all the way to the Continental Hotel, Wu Lanlan was squinting at the wine glass by herself.There are two wine glasses, placed face to face.Dry red has been poured into the glass, the transparent wine is extremely charming under the light.Cheng Yiyi asked, "Just the two of us?" "Is there anyone else?" Wu Lanlan asked back.

"That's good, too." Cheng Yi sat down, and Wu Lanlan raised his glass, "I planned to leave at night, but suddenly I don't want to. I want to have a good drink with you." "Then stay a few more days, although I can't accompany you. There are also monks, Feng Jun and the others." "Do you still remember the first time we drank together alone more than ten years ago? That time in your dormitory, just the two of us. How proud you were, young and handsome Comrade Leader." "Remember... but..." "But what? Then I got drunk, and you got drunk, and then..."

"..." Cheng Yiyi knew and then they hugged each other, which was their first time with each other.Afterwards, Wu Lanlan cried. "Sometimes I really want to go back to the past. Ah, stop talking, drink!" "Drink! I respect you!" "drink!" While drinking, Wu Lanlan kept returning from reality to the past.Little by little along the way, Cheng saw a woman, no, a woman he once loved, the struggle and tears of these years.Wu Lanlan talked about Gao Yan, their marriage, and deep down in her heart, Cheng Yiyi has always been like a knot, always in loneliness and pain, which she couldn't untie no matter what. "I tried to forget you too, really, but... what about you?"

Cheng did not answer all the way, this is an unanswerable question.They continue to drink. It was already late at night, and when we returned to Huhai Villa, there was no other light in the villa except for the faint street lights.When passing by the villa where Ren Huaihang lived, Cheng Yiyi stopped habitually.Wu Lanlan held him back. Wu Lanlan said, "This way, this way..." In the morning, when Cheng Lu woke up, Wu Lanlan was pillowing on his chest.In an instant, Cheng Yilu understood everything.He quickly got up and left the villa as if fleeing.When he got home, he sat on the sofa with a tinge of sadness in his heart.He must have drunk too much last night. For Wu Lanlan, he had accumulated feelings in his heart; for Cheng Yiyi, the constant changes in Nanzhou's officialdom kept his mind in a kind of depression that he couldn't get rid of.Moreover, as a man in his prime, since Zhang Xiaoyu left, he has been guarding him.After keeping it for too long, Wu Lanlan set it ablaze, and then only burned, only burned.

Cheng Yiyi thought of this now, and his face became hot.In his mind, Wu Lanlan, whom he loves, has always stopped ten years ago.Wu Lanlan last night, maybe it was just a phantom, just a meeting in a dream.However, all that is real, the surging waves, the unrestrained passion, the rising blood... Cheng Yiyi's hand touched the book Jian Yun gave him, and his heart trembled as if suddenly stabbed. Opening the book, Jian Yun's characters are like little camphor leaves, fluttering fresh and lovely.Cheng Yiyi took out his mobile phone and sent Jian Yun a text message.Originally he wanted to write longer, but he felt that there was nothing to write, so he just wrote: "Thank you for your book, I wish you happiness!"

Just after closing the phone, Wu Lanlan's call arrived.Cheng Yiyi took it, and Wu Lanlan told him that she had left Nanzhou, thank you, the leader.Cheng told her to take care on the way and put away the line, but a different feeling arose in her heart.Over the years, this was the only time Cheng Yiyi had sex with other women since he married Zhang Xiaoyu.Thinking of Zhang Xiaoyu, Cheng Yiyi couldn't help sighing. Fang Haoran lives in the senior cadre ward of the Provincial Hospital.The deputy director of the hospital accompanied Cheng all the way in. As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Haoran sitting sideways on the hospital bed. He was obviously thinner, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.Cheng Yiyi greeted Fang Haoran, Fang Haoran could see that he was very happy, and insisted on letting Cheng Yiyi sit.Cheng Yiyi sat on the edge of the bed and conveyed the greetings from Secretary Ren Huaihang and Mayor Wang Yida to Chairman Fang.Fang Haoran said: "Look, you are so busy, you still come here!" Cheng Yiyi said: "I just asked Dean Yao specifically, and he said that your condition is good. I am relieved. There is no one who is not sick. , take a good rest, you will feel better soon."

"I know the secretary-general is comforting me. I know my own illness. But it's good. I just got used to it. I've thought a lot these days. I've been in the officialdom all these years, but it doesn't really mean much. Looking back Come to think of it, safety is the greatest blessing. Look at Huang Chuan and Xu Shuofeng, they just can't figure it out!" Fang Haoran said, looking at Cheng all the way. Cheng Yiyi continued: "Yes, Chairman Fang is telling the truth." "Look at the bed next door. The man who lived in the bed passed away yesterday. He was in his eighties. When he was hospitalized, there were many people who came to visit him. When I asked, they were all his students. When I was in the organization department, They also promoted a large number of cadres, and now... well, so the officialdom is ruthless!" Fang Haoran was a little excited.

Dean Yao hurriedly told Fang Haoran to lie down, and Cheng Yiyi said a few more words to remind him to take care, and then found out Fang Haoran's family members and asked them if they had any difficulties.The family members said that everything was resolved, and the only difficulty was the patient's emotional instability.Cheng smiled all the way and comforted him by saying that he must be patient.Patients have some petty temper, let him alone.The key is to recuperate. Dean Yao entertained him at noon, and after dinner, Cheng Yiyi called Director Qi Ming.Qi Ming was not in the provincial capital, but was in a meeting outside the city.Cheng went all the way to find Lin Xiaoshan again.Lin Xiaoshan was not there either.Cheng called all the way to Zhang Minzhao's house.The nanny said that my aunt had been called away by the task force for several days and had not come back.Cheng Yiyi sighed and told Ye Kai to go back to Nanzhou directly.Several comrades from the CPPCC who accompanied Cheng all the way stayed because of other matters.

On the way, Ye Kai said, "I heard that Governor Zhang is in Nanzhou?" Cheng Yiyi had also heard of it, but he knew it was impossible.According to the situation he has grasped, this possibility is very small.If the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection really left Zhang Minzhao in Nanzhou, as a member of the Standing Committee and Secretary General of the Nanzhou Municipal Committee, it is impossible not to know.Xu Shuofeng is currently still in Nanzhou, and Shuanggui is in the place where Huangchuan Shuanggui used to be.Some other department-level cadres are also placed there, and the Provincial Public Security Bureau has specially increased its police force for this purpose.

Nanzhou is like a stormy leaf, turbulently hanging under the sword. When I got home at night, Cheng kept hearing the doorbell ringing all the way.He didn't open the door.The person who rang the doorbell called from outside, but he didn't answer it.He sat alone in the study, and then simply turned off the light.At ten o'clock, he guessed that no one would come, so he turned on the lights and surfed the Internet.Cheng Xiaolu sent another email, telling Cheng Yiyi that according to his observations, his mother seemed to have some problems with the foreigner who taught the language.Please dad let mom back home.It’s okay for him to be alone in Australia.He didn't want to see anything worse happen.

Cheng Yiyi carefully read the letter three times, his brain buzzing.I remember Cheng Xiaolu once said in an email: space changes everything.Is it true?Now, just last night, I was changed.Has Zhang Xiaoyu also been changed?Zhang Xiaoyu has always been the most reassuring type of woman in Cheng Yilu's heart.Now that she has changed too, what can explain all this except space?Cheng Yiyi even thought of the foreign language teacher, and the images of Zhang Xiaoyu and the language teacher kept turning in his mind.If Cheng Xiaolu used to rely only on his child's judgment, then this time he must not be a child anymore, but told Cheng Yilu these things as a man who cared about Cheng Yilu. The computer screen kept changing in front of Cheng Yilu's eyes, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. Without taking a shower, Cheng Yiyi lay down with his clothes on.The sound of insects outside was louder than louder, like small sticks, knocking on Cheng Yilu's heart continuously.Summer nights in the Southern State, like probably any summer night before, are all about peace and quiet.However, Cheng Yilu knew that there was a huge crisis hidden behind this tranquility.Zhang Minzhao, Xu Shuofeng, Huang Chuan, and a series of department-level officials have all been swallowed up by this crisis.who is the next?Maybe many Nanzhou cadres are thinking and calculating in their hearts.Ren Huaihang is leaving, and leaving at this moment may be the best choice for Ren Huaihang.If the Huang Chuan case only ended with Xu Shuofeng, then the turmoil in Nanzhou's officialdom might be less; if it continues, Cheng Yiyi can't even imagine it.Although Cheng Yiyi knew that he was nothing, although he had been walking in the officialdom all these years, he was basically clean.However, Cheng Yiyi knew better that in the outside world, even if others didn't mention it, he knew that many people had already put him in the ranks of this or that faction.Now that Zhang Minzhao has fallen, Cheng Yiyi, as his niece and son-in-law, is there any reason why he should not fall?It's just not enough time.What's more, as the Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he has always been close to Huang Chuan Xu Shuofeng, and it is impossible for outsiders not to discuss this. Cheng thought all the way, feeling more and more annoyed.He thought again of the cards in the study.Fortunately, those who sent cards were basically not included in the list this time.It should be dealt with, and can't be left alone. Cheng Yiyi thought about it for a long time, and decided to let Lotus come early tomorrow morning, let her redeem the card first, and then donate to the Hope Project. Thinking of this, Cheng Yiyi felt a little relieved.However, Zhang Xiaoyu floated over like a shadow again.Cheng thought of a word all the way: internal and external troubles.He understood that his son was in a hurry to write to him, and it was also after careful consideration.He decided to follow his son's advice and let Zhang Xiaoyu return home as soon as possible.Even if there is nothing, returning home can at least prevent problems before they happen. In the middle of the night, it began to rain heavily outside.Heavy rain, mixed with thunder and lightning.Every year in this season, Nanzhou is rainy.Cheng Yiyi's heart was suspended again, he fell asleep for a while, and called the defense office just after dawn.Director Zhang of the Defense Office told him that nearly 200 milliliters fell overnight, and floods had already occurred in some places.Cheng Yiyi asked the Defense Office to pay close attention to the flood situation and notify the municipal party committee of the rainfall situation at any time. After receiving the phone call from Cheng Yilu, He Hua rushed over quickly.This was the first time Cheng Yiyi called her on his own initiative, and the little girl blushed with excitement.Cheng Yiyi handed her the cards, and told her to go to the places marked on the cards to redeem them first, and then go directly to the Office of Project Hope to lose all the money to Project Hope.Don't leave your name. When someone asks, just say that you are entrusted.He Hua nodded in doubt, but Cheng Yiyi had already left the house.Ye Kai was waiting outside, went down the stairs, opened the umbrella, the raindrops hit the umbrella, making a crisp sound.On the way, Cheng saw that some places had accumulated water, but the rain was still falling. Secretary Ren Huaihang rushed back from the provincial capital and urgently held a city-wide flood control conference call.Flood control work is generally under the responsibility of the government, so although Cheng Yiyi is the deputy commander of the prevention, he does not need to participate in the work specifically.After the meeting, Cheng went all the way back to the office, and Deputy Secretary Chang Zhenxing followed. "How is Lao Fang?" Chang Zhenxing asked. "It's okay, but I'm thinner, and I'm in good spirits." Cheng Yiyi said. "I heard that the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will soon be stationed in Nanzhou..." "Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?" "It's the investigation team that handled Zhang Minzhao's case. It is said... It is said that Zhang Minzhao provided a list of more than 50 people, involving a large number of Nanzhou cadres." "..." "The rain is coming and the building is full of wind!" Chang Zhenxing said, looked at Cheng Yiyi, shook his head and left. As soon as Chang Zhenxing left, Ma Hongtao followed, "Secretary-General, I just heard Guo Lei calling Secretary Huai Hang, and Yan Lili was taken away." "What time?" "Maybe it's morning." "Ah, I see." Cheng Yiyi felt a little tired.Ma Hongtao glanced at Cheng Yiyi, and left without saying anything. Cheng closed the door all the way, the rain outside the window became heavier and heavier, and the whole world seemed to be drifting in the rain.He called home, and Lotus had already returned, saying that the matter had been settled, and the people in the hope engineering office kept asking her who commissioned her, but she didn't say anything.Cheng Yiyi said that this is very good, as long as it is done well.Then he heard Lotus smiling happily on the other end of the phone. There were still piles of documents on the table, Cheng Yiyi looked at them casually, and then put them aside.In fact, even if he didn't read these documents, it wasn't a big deal.Although Nanzhou's officialdom has been in turmoil recently, a document has not been missed.There have also been more and more letters of complaint, reflecting various problems.The common people in China are like this. When they see a few cadres under the shuanggui, they think that the era of Baogong is coming.No matter what the problem is, it doesn't matter how big or small it is, just report it.However, there are fewer reports about Feng Jun.Probably Renyi drove away some outside mine owners, and some local people contracted the mine.With something to do, and the balance in my heart gradually, who would take the time to write any report letter? In fact, Cheng Yilu knew that most of Renyi's mines were mined by outsiders.Local mine owners don't have much money to invest either.After Ma Huaimin was transferred from Renyi, Feng Jun seemed to feel better.Feng Jun is like this, what mood is hanging on his face, he doesn't know how to turn.A few days ago, Feng Jun called and wanted to recommend a deputy secretary surnamed Liu to be the county magistrate.Cheng Yiyi said that only the secretary and the mayor can come to this matter, and I, the secretary-general, cannot ask.You can recommend it, you are the secretary of benevolence and righteousness, your words will naturally take effect.Feng Jun smiled and said: I have taken care of the affairs of benevolence and righteousness, and I have left too. If I stay in this poor county in the mountainous area, people will almost get moldy. Feng Jun originally hoped to be able to come up and join the team at the time of the change of term. In the last democratic evaluation, his votes were not high.Later Qiu Haoyue came to Nanzhou, and during the conversation, I heard that he still admired Feng Jun, saying that he was a practical comrade.Minister Qiu also specifically mentioned Feng Jun in the subsequent briefing, and the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee also recommended him to the Provincial Party Committee.But how the province will decide in the end, I don't know. According to the unified requirements of the province, the party congress should be completed by the end of November, followed by the people's congress and the political association.If there are no accidents, the start of the party congress may start at the end of September, and the election of party representatives will definitely be completed in early November.The new year is about to start its official operation.Ren Huaihang kept saying that he wanted to leave, and he himself made it look like he wanted to leave.In the recent Nanzhou Daily and Evening News, there are a series of reports on Nanzhou's economic development every day.The TV station has also set up a column. Judging from the news media, Nanzhou's economy is constantly developing and its society and politics are stable.Ren Huaihang wanted to leave Nanzhou in a good manner under a good situation.Thinking of this all the way, Cheng couldn't help smiling, Ren Huaihang's intentions were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, his hands were always on his hair.And his head can always come up with better ideas than others. Cheng Yiyi thought while raising his head from a pile of documents. The rain outside the window became heavier.
