Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven
Monday’s busier than ever.
The feeling of being the leader is really enjoyable.After only a few days, she was deeply intoxicated by it.As long as you sit there, you can give orders as you like. No matter what you say, people will nod and bow, and people will bow their heads and say yes.Unlike before, every time he said a word, he had to consider whether he should say it, whether Qiang Wei would have any thoughts after hearing it.Now there is no need, now she can speak freely, without any scruples.Also, in the past, even though there were people welcoming and sending them off, even though people would show submissiveness, compared to now, it is far worse. This kind of obedience, this kind of compliment, is what she has always said. hopefully.
That's not enough, there is something more enjoyable: she can finally act according to her own will.Where is the biggest excitement in the officialdom?It is not the pleasure of giving orders as people imagined, nor is it the prestige that everyone admires, nor is it the sense of benefits that rely on the power in your hands to seek benefits for yourself.but will.It is a great thing that a person can act according to his own will, and in due course, turn his own will into the code of conduct for others, and finally make himself the commander of everyone's will!
Zhou Yican is now experiencing this feeling step by step.
In order to reflect her unique style of governance, she did not rush to change the team below.Of course, people like Xu Shouren had to be replaced, but for someone like him, she didn't delay for a moment, and replaced them quickly.Next, she wants to be stable for a while and seek change while being stable. This is what she wants to pursue.She wants to slowly build up an allied army in a stable manner, that is, to cultivate and develop her own strength.This process may be long and complicated, but it must be full of joy.This is true of people and things, but she has adopted a completely opposite policy.Before that, Qiang Wei proposed that we should do more, talk less, and solve common and trivial problems, that is, problems that are closely related to people's lives.She thinks this old lady, how can a person always get stuck in trivial matters?How can a city always stop at these trivial matters?She is a woman with great courage and a person who wants to do a big business. She must make a fuss about the word "big".
Within a week of taking office, she suggested that a big discussion should be held among the city's cadres first.In which direction is Heyang going to develop? Should it continue to stabilize its status as a major agricultural city, or strive to become a strong industrial city?Or, can you find another way to fully tap Heyang's tourism resources, play the cultural card well, and make Heyang a strong tourist city?At the same time, taking advantage of the historic event of the acquisition of Hehua by Ruite Company, we will start attracting investment in an all-round way, and quickly expand the small cake of Heyang, thereby promoting the overall development of various businesses in Heyang...
The idea has been raised, how to implement it in the end is not what she wants to consider now.Now, she must go all out to lure the golden phoenix from the Rhett Company to Heyang as soon as possible, let her build a nest, lay eggs, and then lay a big basket of golden eggs.
Due to the sudden adjustment of the Heyang team, the time for the signing of the previous agreement was forced to be postponed, and the vice president of Ritter, Bauer, and his party had to return to Hong Kong temporarily.Hearing the news that she was promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee, Ball immediately sent a congratulatory telegram to express her congratulations.Later, Ouyang Moqian called again and asked: When is the new signing date set?Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Ouyang, what are you in a hurry for? Are you still worried about not being able to sign the contract? After I have rectified Heyang, I will confirm the time immediately. At that time, I will hold the largest signing ceremony in the whole province. The best , can invite CCTV "The Same Song" to cheer us up."
After hearing what she said, Ouyang felt relieved and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry. Time waits for no one. Running a company is not like doing politics. Time is efficiency, and efficiency is the life of an enterprise."
Zhou Yican said: "Ouyang, don't tell me these big truths. I get a headache when I hear these big truths. Anyway, please don't worry. I'll send you a letter as soon as this is sorted out."
Ten days before the big debate, Zhou Yican proposed to carry out a big rectification among the city's leading cadres: to rectify the thinking, rectify the style, rectify the discipline, and first unify the thoughts of the city's leading cadres to a high level.
Zhou Yican didn't say what this height is specifically, but she knew very well in her heart: it was to be unified on her side, Zhou Yican, and the legacy of Qiang Wei must not be allowed to continue to influence the thinking of cadres and workers.
Heyang was full of vigor and vitality for a while, it can be said that the new official took office three fires, and the fire was burning vigorously.
Almost at the same time, Qin Xiyue was also running around nervously.This time, Qin Xiyue was no longer gentle.It's useless to be suave, really useless, he has become simple and direct.He told the representatives: "If we can't even maintain the most basic political order, how can we talk about building democracy? How can we talk about harmony? Abnormal political life is a blatant contempt for democracy and a brutal trampling of the rule of law."
The representatives were infected by him, and under his persuasion, they all signed the proposals.
There are two proposals.One is specifically for a series of recent problems in Heyang, which involves the illegal loss of two huge sums of funds of the Hehua Group; the other is Qin Xiyue's thoughts on the construction of a new socialist countryside, and the Criticisms from real work.He said in it: Rural work can no longer be carried out like this. False things have entrapped us for many years. Formalism and superficialism have become two stubborn diseases in our work. If this trend continues to spread, not only Our goal of building a new socialist countryside cannot be realized, and the pace of rural construction may even go backwards.Because many practices of the grassroots government have seriously hurt the enthusiasm of farmers and damaged the relationship between the party and the masses.The rural areas in the west are developing slowly, and some places are not even developing. If this trend cannot be contained, it will inevitably bring a new round of disasters to the development of the rural areas.
Qin Xiyue was filled with emotion.He really couldn't figure out why some things remained so stubbornly in our cadres, especially in the minds of leading cadres?Why does the central government respond with more and bigger false moves every time the central government proposes a strategic move?Could it be that the word "fake" has really become a cancer that cannot be eradicated?Could it be that our cadre assessment system and appointment system will never get out of the dead end of looking at the surface without asking the essence?
In his letter of advice, he appealed: We must fundamentally solve our system problems, and we must stop this unhealthy trend from the source.
Perhaps Qin Xiyue made too much noise, Qi Muran suddenly called Hu Haoyue this day: "Recently, there has been a lot of repercussions from below. You, the head of the organization, should also listen to the voices from below."
Hu Haoyue immediately said: "I just came back from Heyang, and the response from Heyang is really good, and all the cadres have been mobilized."
Qi Muran glanced at Hu Haoyue in annoyance.This person, why is this person...
"You go to the Academy of Social Sciences when you have time, and ask them to manage their teams well. Experts should act like experts, and don't be idle all day long!" At this time, Qi Muran had to speak clearly.
Hu Haoyue suddenly woke up, feeling extremely regretful: this is what he was referring to.
The next day, Hu Haoyue brought the two directors to the Academy of Social Sciences.Unexpectedly, Qin Xiyue and Che Shusheng came in as soon as they broke the conversation with Mao Xi.
"You guys came just in time, please take a seat." Mao Xi enthusiastically stood up and greeted the two of them.Hu Haoyue's face showed a layer of grayness.He glanced suspiciously at Mao Xi: Could it be that he called these two on purpose?
Qin Xiyue didn't sit down, and went straight to Hu Haoyue: "I have some materials, please pass them on to Comrade Qi Muran." He said, handing over the proposal letter with both hands.Hu Haoyue didn't answer, and looked at Qin Xiyue in surprise for a long time, then turned to Mao Xi: "What's going on?"
Mao Xi said: "Comrade Xiyue has always wanted to see the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, saying that he has a knot in his heart that cannot be solved. Today is just an opportunity, and I called him and the sound of the tree. I would like to ask the organization to talk to them about ideological issues. Let’s talk, we are engaged in business, and we are not very good at ideological work.”
"Playing the piano randomly!" Hu Haoyue said, and got up angrily, for fear that she would walk too slowly and be entangled by Qin Xiyue.
Within two hours of Hu Haoyue's departure, several leaders in the academy received a call, asking the Academy of Social Sciences to carry out ideological rectification and resolutely resist the proliferation of bad tendencies in academic units.The dean talked to Mao Xi, and Mao Xi actually took out a document and asked the dean to sign it.
The dean took the material and looked at it. It turned out that Qin Xiyue and Che Shusheng had sorted out the comprehensive treatment plan for the Huyang River Basin. According to Qin Xiyue's suggestion, Che Shusheng had transferred the plan to 14 deputies to the National People's Congress and eight experts. hands.The experts spoke highly of the plan. After putting forward supplementary opinions, they actively responded to Qin Xiyue's proposal and signed the plan one after another.The 14 deputies to the National People's Congress were obliged to express firm support for Qin Xiyue's point of view, and wrote to the Central Committee and the National People's Congress, strongly urging the provincial party committee to hold a governance meeting as soon as possible to make special arrangements for governance.At the same time, it calls on the Provincial People's Congress to convene and organize an expert group to go deep into the Huyang River Basin and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the basin's ecology and environmental protection.
The dean looked at the plan and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said to Mao Xi: "This plan has condensed the hard work of Comrade Xiyue, and it also expresses the aspirations of the experts in the whole hospital. You say, what should I do?" Shouldn't it be signed?"
"I don't know," said Moxie.
"No, you know." The dean suddenly emphasized his tone.Mao Xi was stunned, and then heard the dean say: "I will sign this word, but not on it. How about this, you arrange an office to submit this material to the Provincial Party Committee in the name of the Academy of Social Sciences, and copy a copy at the same time." To the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"real?"
"Vice President Mao, it's time for us to stand up and support Comrade Xiyue. We can't let him always do things alone. Comrade Shusheng may be inconvenient, so don't inform him for the time being. The rest of the experts in the academy, including graduate students, you Let everyone know that those who are willing to stand with Comrade Qin Xiyue are called upon to support him spiritually and morally, and let him carry out his mission."
"it is good!"
Two days later, a document signed by more than 50 experts and graduate students from the Academy of Social Sciences flew to Beijing.So far, all voices from Yinzhou have spread to Beijing.
Yinzhou is looking forward to it, and Heyang is looking forward to it.
Qin Xiyue was full of expectations in his heart.
This afternoon, Qin Xiyue had just finished talking on the phone with Zhang Xiangsheng, and he was still immersed in the conversation just now, but the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Sisi's voice came from outside: "Dad, we are back! "
When Qin Xiyue walked out of the living room, he saw Sisi standing in the courtyard, and behind Sisi was the kid from the Qiang family.
Sisi and Qiang Yifan brought bad news, which was enough to cause an intellectual like Qin Xiyue to have a nervous breakdown!
Ruite Corporation is eager to acquire Hehua, but its motives are indeed not pure, and its purpose is even more terrifying.Qiang Wei's suspicion was finally confirmed: Ritter's interest was not in the Hehua Group, but in a pharmaceutical factory under the Hehua Group!The international business organization entrusted by Qiang Yifan discovered in the investigation that as early as four years ago, Ritter had secretly changed its development direction.Due to vicious competition from international peers, Ritter's originally advantageous biological product project fell into trouble, and several other auxiliary industries developed unsatisfactorily due to inadequate technology and management.Later, Ritter wanted to get involved in the electronic information industry and took the lead in investing in mainland China. However, due to the rapid development of the domestic electronic information industry in the past two years, foreign companies like Ritter have no competitive advantage.The performance of its subsidiaries in Shenzhen, Shanghai, etc. shows that their domestic investment failed and did not achieve the expected goal.In this context, Ouyang suggested to the company's senior management to significantly reduce investment in the electronic information industry, redevelop its own advantageous industry - biological products, and establish its own biological product base in inland China.This plan seems correct on the surface, and it is also in line with the strategic adjustment of international large companies.However, business organizations found a very suspicious sign: Ritter's domestic biological products industry may be involved in drugs.Although Ritter took a lot of measures in the early stage and did it very covertly, the business organization accidentally seized a memorandum of negotiation between Ritter headquarters and Southeast Asian organizations.The memorandum indicated that Ritter entered into the Northwest of China because it wanted to find an ephedrine production base for the newly established Ruierkang Biological Products Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou.In the Northwest, only the province in the Huyang River Basin and Haihu County adjacent to the province have legal ephedrine production lines and ephedra planting bases.The goal of Ritter's cooperation with neighboring provinces last year was to go to the Benhaihu Pharmaceutical Factory.As a result, Ms. Murray accidentally leaked secrets during the negotiation process, which made the high-level officials of the neighboring provinces vigilant. As a last resort, Ruite Company turned its attention to Heyang.
Heyang Biological Alkali Factory, a subsidiary of Hehua Group, is a small pharmaceutical factory established after strict approval. It is the only enterprise in the Huyang River Basin that has the qualifications for purchasing ephedra grass and producing ephedrine intermediates.In recent years, due to more and more restrictions on ephedrine by the state and stricter monitoring, the production scale of the factory has been continuously suppressed. Currently, only one of the three production lines has been used, and it is still in a semi-stopped state.The processing and purchase of its products are carried out strictly in accordance with the country's mandatory plan, and Heyang has no right to interfere in any form.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Moqian fixed his greedy eyes on it.
"Is this true?" Before Qiang Yifan finished speaking, Qin Xiyue had already turned pale with shock.He interrupted Qiang Yifan and asked anxiously.
"It's absolutely true! The investigation by the international business organization will never be wrong! No, I came here in a hurry just after I got the investigation results." Qiang Yifan said.The result of this investigation also shocked him into a cold sweat. He was afraid that his father would really sign the acquisition contract with Rhett, and if that happened, his father would become a sinner through the ages.Once the medicine and alkali factory falls into the hands of Reiter, the consequences will be disastrous.You must know that the monitoring of foreign-funded enterprises in China is not in place at present, and some provinces and cities even adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards foreign-funded enterprises for their own partial interests.Under the appeasement and connivance of some people, some people use the signboard of foreign-funded enterprises to dare to enter any restricted area and step on any minefield.And the production of ephedrine is extremely deceptive. It can be processed into intermediates, semi-finished products, or even rough-processed, and then sold in a grand manner. When it reaches Southeast Asia, it will become a priceless raw material for methamphetamine!
"This... really did Ouyang?" After pondering for a long time, Qin Xiyue asked again.
Qiang Yifan didn't answer, but turned his gaze to Sisi.Sisi said sadly: "Dad, he did it. I also investigated through other channels. Over the years, he has done many despicable and dirty things without telling me."
"This bastard, I can't spare him!" Qin Xiyue angrily grabbed the cup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground.The voice alarmed Mrs. Yao outside, she ran in and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Qin, why are you losing your temper with the children?"
Qin Xiyue ignored Sister-in-law Yao, he had no regard for face at all these days.Ouyang did such an absurd and terrible thing, how could he face others as a father-in-law?His mood was extremely chaotic, and the words "Ouyang Moqian" bombarded in his mind.In the end, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted at Sisi angrily: "Where is he now? I want to see him right away!"
Sisi was frightened by her father's attitude.On the way, she was worried that once her father found out the truth, he would definitely scold her to death.Seeing her father's furious look, she shrank back in fright, and said timidly: "I have never contacted him, and I don't want to." After finishing speaking, she squinted at Qiang Yifan, and said boldly "Dad, now is not the time to pursue Ouyang. We have to find a way to get Uncle Qiang to stop the signing."
"What solution do you want?" Qin Xiyue said angrily, "Qiang Wei embezzled public funds and was shuanggui. Who do you want me to find a solution?"
Qiang Yifan on the side was startled for a moment, but when he heard that Qin Xiyue was talking about his father, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a daze, "My father is corrupt? Was he shuanggui? Impossible, how could my father be corrupt!"
After Qiang Yifan got the information, he contacted his father, but his cell phone was always off, and he couldn't get through.When I called the office, the secretary faltered and refused to tell the truth.Qiang Yifan felt that something must have happened to his father, and this worry was always hidden in his heart.In fact, as early as the last time he went to Heyang and had a deep talk with his father, this anxiety had already enveloped him.But he never thought that his father would be accused of corruption.Before boarding the plane, he asked his mother on the phone, and his mother said in a hoarse voice, "Your father hasn't contacted me for several days, and I don't know where he is." Sitting on the plane, he kept talking Think: what happened?Why did my father suddenly disappear?
"Impossible, Uncle Qin, this is impossible!" Qiang Yifan roared again.
"I know it's impossible, but it's the way it is. Why are you yelling at me? Go ask your father, where did he get the four hundred thousand dollars!"
"More than four hundred thousand?" Qiang Yifan was dumbfounded.This money may not be a big deal in Hong Kong, but in the remote and backward Northwest, it is no different from an astronomical figure.Is father really...
He didn't dare to think about it, hurriedly said his farewell, and hurried to his home.Sisi followed out and wanted to go with him too.Qin Xiyue shouted from behind: "Sisi, come back to me, you haven't made it clear yet!"
Just when Qin Xiyue was shocked by this incident, Heyang was also in chaos.Zhou Yican originally planned to wait for the big rectification to come to an end before arranging the signing ceremony.She naturally has her own ideas for this arrangement.She didn't want to sign the contract in a hurry, because the negotiation had come to fruition in Qiang Wei's hands, and rushing to sign the contract was tantamount to affirming Qiang Wei's work.In addition, she wanted to make the signing ceremony grander and grander, which would take time and meticulous preparation, especially for the guests present at the meeting. She had to consider each one and visit each one in advance.This is a rare opportunity to connect with each other, and she must not waste it easily.
Who knows, Qi Muran suddenly called and asked her why she didn't hurry up about signing the contract.As soon as she half-spoken about her idea, Qi Muran's criticism came: "Procrastinate in doing things, how can you look like a job!" She wanted to boldly explain a few words, but Qi Muran was already impatient: "Take the other Stop work, hurry up and sign the contract!"
Only then did Zhou Yican realize that she had made a mistake again.
So, she held an emergency meeting to arrange the signing separately.At this time, she did not forget to make the scene bigger and highlight the key points, especially the media propaganda. She set a hard target for the propaganda department: the news media in the province must invite every one to the venue; the central government stationed in the province For the media, the Minister of Propaganda must go to Yinzhou to invite them in person, and implement them one by one; as for the promotional materials, she must personally approve them.
After arranging all these, Zhou Yican went to the provincial capital to report to Qi Muran, so that Qi Muran would not have any more opinions on her.Just when she was about to go out, Zhou Tieshan walked in in a panic and said, "What are you still doing here? Qiang Wei has already revealed the matter in advance."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise.
"What else could it be? Let me tell you the truth: all the details he found out have been exposed to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!"
"how do you know?"
"How do I know? Do you think you are the only ones who have connections? Although I, Zhou Tieshan, are incompetent, there are still people who can give a tip or a letter at critical times."
Zhou Yican heard the meaning of Zhou Tieshan's words: he is still brooding over the matter of Hehua, and he still refuses to give up.Qi Moran and Zhou Yican suddenly decided to sell Hehua to Ritter Company, which made him extremely dissatisfied, so he even quarreled with Qi Moran face to face.These days, Zhou Yichan never answered the phone calls.Zhou Yican originally wanted him to sponsor the signing ceremony, but after a second thought, he gave up.
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Tieshan said immediately after.
"What am I afraid of?" Zhou Yican forced his composure, and replied casually, his dissatisfaction with Zhou Tieshan almost reached the extreme: This person is really crazy, he doesn't think of her as the secretary of the municipal party committee!If the news he brought was not so sudden and terrible, she might not be able to bear it.
"Of course you are not afraid. What are you afraid of, Secretary Zhou?" Zhou Tieshan said in a nonchalant manner, "But there is a saying, 'the tree falls and the monkeys scatter'. I hope Secretary Zhou will take care of it. I also see it in our For the sake of the same surname, I came here to write a letter to you. Since you don't appreciate it, count me as a waste of time." After finishing speaking, he walked out resentfully.
Zhou Yican grabbed him and said, "Why are you so nervous? Make sure you speak clearly before leaving."
Seeing the cold sweat on her face, Zhou Tieshan knew that she was really scared, so he said: Before Qi Muran took measures against him, Qiang Wei sent many materials he had to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.It is estimated that in the next few days, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is likely to take drastic measures against Qi Moran.
"No way?" Zhou Yican's voice changed completely, her breath became limp, her face was even more sallow, her whole body seemed to have collapsed, she sat back on the sofa dejectedly, and stared at Zhou Tieshan as if asking for help.It seems that Zhou Tieshan has some tricks up his sleeve to resolve this sudden crisis.
Zhou Tieshan glanced at her without any expression, left without saying a word.
These words suddenly plunged Zhou Yican into a great contradiction.
Zhou Tieshan said: "Think about what you should do and what you shouldn't do."
On this day, Zhou Yican finally forcibly stopped her from going to the provincial capital.When it was getting late, she made two phone calls.One, to call a friend of hers in the provincial party committee.The friend was very cautious. After listening to her question, he just said: "At the moment, no one can tell what will happen, so let's rely on our own judgment."
The other, after thinking about it, she still called Qi Moran.She thought, no matter what, she should ask him personally.If there was something wrong, he would not fail to reveal it to her, and if nothing happened, then thank God.
Unexpectedly, before she could express her meaning, Qi Muran asked: "Zhou Tieshan told you, right?" She thought for a while, and said "Hmm" with great difficulty.At this time, she really didn't dare to hide anything from him anymore.
"This bastard!" Qi Muran cursed, and hung up the phone angrily.Hearing the "beep" busy tone from the microphone, Zhou Yican's heart suddenly became a mess.
Will something really happen?
As soon as Ouyang Moqian left the airport, he was blocked by his father-in-law Qin Xiyue.
Qin Xiyue was furious this time.Not only did he want to stop the upcoming signing ceremony in Heyang, but he also wished he could personally send Ouyang's sleazy thing into the French Open!That night, after Qiang Yifan left, the father and daughter sat back in the living room.Looking at his daughter who suddenly lost weight, Qin Xiyue asked solemnly: "Sisi, tell Dad the truth, do you have a problem with Ouyang?"
"dad!"
Sisi refused to say it at first, afraid that her father would not be able to bear it, and even more afraid that this sudden change would completely destroy the image she had carefully built in front of her father.She wanted to continue to leave her father with the upbeat, carefree impression she had maintained for years and didn't want to ruin it.Helpless, her father asked very firmly and thoroughly, so she could only grit her teeth and tell the truth.
The marriage between Sisi and Ouyang has come to an end!
Sisi became aware of the relationship between Ouyang and Mai Rui shortly after returning to Hong Kong last time.Although I had murmured in my heart before, I never thought about it seriously, let alone thought that the matter would be so serious.After living in Hong Kong for several years, Sisi seems to have a more open view on relationships and marriage than when she was in the Mainland.She never asked about Ouyang's private life. Under the sky of marriage, he was given a lot of freedom, but this did not mean that she could accept or forgive Ouyang's infidelity to her.The most important reason why she and Qiang Yifan couldn't get together back then was that when she was planning to marry him, she unexpectedly discovered that Qiang Yifan also gave part of her feelings to another woman.That woman is Qiang Yifan's immediate boss and also Qiang Yifan's employer. She is much older than Qiang Yifan, and she is an old woman with a considerable status and status in Hong Kong's investment circle.
When Qiang Yifan first arrived in Hong Kong, the place he relied on for his livelihood was not the current Daqi International Investment Company. His employer was the shareholder of Hong Kong Peanut Bank, Mi Qi, the head of Donggang Huadu Industry, known as the Baimian Woman.This person has a complicated background, and his experience is even more extraordinary.Her father used to be a Hong Kong financial tycoon, but was later killed by the underworld.She took over Donggang Huadu at the age of nineteen. After going through ups and downs and precariously, she finally did not let the foundation created by her father collapse in her own hands, but allowed it to develop even more.Who would have thought that Qiang Yifan had a relationship with Mi Qi in less than three years after he came to Donggangmen.At first, Sisi didn't believe it, and said to Qiang Yifan in a half-joking and half-serious way: "Your lady boss is a legend, I heard that she has a soft spot for handsome men from the Mainland, you have to be careful "Qiang Yifan also deliberately said: "It is a great pleasure to be taken care of by the rich sister in this life. Why would I not do it?" Unexpectedly, within two months of saying this, Mi Qi was exposed inside Donggang The news that Qiang Yifan and Qiang Yifan secretly rented a room because of lust during their investigation in Singapore was also watched by the "paparazzi", which made Hong Kong newspapers stir up sex news for nearly half a year.Due to various pressures and distrust of Qiang Yifan, Sisi finally broke up with Qiang Yifan.At that time, she happened to meet Ouyang who came to Hong Kong to investigate the market. The two hit it off and fell in love soon.This incident shocked my father a lot.Sisi knew that her father hoped that she would marry Qiang Yifan in his heart.Of course, the father couldn't accept such a change, so he put all the bad debts on Qiang Yifan's head, believing that the kid from the Qiang family cheated his daughter.Although Sisi didn't tell his father anything, his father stubbornly believed that it was Qiang Yifan who was fascinated by Hong Kong's colorful world, so he betrayed Sisi and dumped him.It's really ridiculous to say that the relationship between her and Qiang Yifan has never been bound by any oath.On Ouyang's side, he made a vow as soon as he came up, as if he would not be able to survive unless he chased her.
Who can tell clearly about the affairs of the world?The boat of marriage is destined to endure wind and waves in the vast and deep sea. As for whether it can reach the other shore, it is far from being controlled by anyone's will.It's hard to say how happy Sisi and Ouyang are together, but at the very least, this marriage gives her a sense of belonging.To put it bluntly, Sisi is still a very traditional woman. In fact, she particularly values the mutual support of two people, and believes that the most perfect love is to grow old together.Originally, this is how she longed for her future emotional life with Ouyang. How could she know that all her trust in marriage and her reliance on the word "family" would be accompanied by the adulterous relationship between Ouyang and Mai Rui? exposed and completely destroyed.
Sisi told her father the truth with tears in her eyes.She accidentally learned the password of Ouyang's mailbox when he went to Hong Kong to visit her. After Ouyang left, she endured and endured, and finally opened the mailbox with a hard to explain. shocked.
In the letter box are not only the soft and nasty letters between Ouyang and Mai Rui, but also the photos they took when they had an affair together.
Sisi sat blankly in front of the computer all night, her mind went blank, she couldn't help but call Mai Rui the next day, and wanted to hear how this woman explained the matter, but unexpectedly, Mai Rui's answer was far more than that. Those love letters and photos still shocked her.Mai Rui said: "Sisi, you know? Ouyang and I have been together for several years. You are so careless, no wonder Ouyang is looking for women outside." Just as Sisi was about to fight back, Mai Rui continued: "Sisi I think you should leave. Anyway, I will not give up on Ouyang, and he will not give up on me. If you don’t want to leave, you have to be patient. But you should think about it well, lest one day I ran into you, and you still didn't drive yourself crazy?"
Mai Rui was still talking shamelessly, but evil clouds were already rolling in Sisi's mind.
What is the most unreliable thing in the world?I'm afraid it's love, those vows!
On this cold winter night, Qin Xiyue suffered the greatest humiliation in his life.The beloved daughter was played with by Ouyang, the white-eyed wolf, and the woman named Mai Rui was so brazen and debauched to such an extent, all of this was far beyond Qin Xiyue's imagination, and far beyond his ability to bear.
He really didn't know how he got here that night.Amidst Sisi's low sobs, he stood up angrily several times and then sat down dejectedly.At dawn, he finally calmed down, and said softly to Sisi: "Don't cry, child. Crying won't solve the problem. What matters is that you have to be strong. If your marriage is wrong, you can start all over again, but if you lose that strength , you won’t be able to get up for the rest of your life.”
Only then did Sisi stop crying, raised her teary face and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll be fine."
"It's fine, it's fine." Qin Xiyue sighed softly.
The next day, Qin Xiyue brought the investigation materials given to him by Qiang Yifan to the Provincial Party Committee and asked to present it to Qi Muran in person, but his request was rejected.The staff in the reception room of the Provincial Party Committee said that Secretary Qi is not here, so you can leave the materials and we will be responsible for delivering them.Of course, Qin Xiyue couldn't keep the materials.He came to the Provincial People's Congress again and asked to meet Deputy Director Li, but was also refused.Only then did Qin Xiyue wake up: he had already become an unpopular person.He is really old and confused, fortunately he can still think of asking them to report to work at this time!He left the Provincial People's Congress silently.He didn't expect that he would have today, that he would not be able to find a place to talk, and that he would not be able to knock on a door.
After much deliberation, he decided to call Wang Minsheng.Now only by relying on Mr. Wang can Reiter be restrained.This time, he said nothing could make Ouyang's white-eyed wolf's conspiracy succeed, let alone let Rhett drag the soil of the northwest into the abyss of crime.
Half an hour later, Mr. Wang's special line was connected.Without any pretense, Qin Xiyue spoke for two hours at a stretch, reporting to Mr. Wang both the investigation by Qiang Yifan and what happened in Heyang.Wang Lao listened quietly at the other end, and when Qin Xiyue finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Xiyue, your temperament is still the same, it hasn't changed at all." Qin Xiyue said: "I can't change. "Old Wang said: "It can't be changed. If it changes, it won't be you, Qin Xiyue."
The two chatted briefly, and then Elder Wang's tone became heavy: "The situation you reported is very important, and I have also heard some from other sources. If Comrade Mo Ran is really like this, then he is a person who is very serious about the central government and the local government. Irresponsible people. The central government is very determined to fight corruption and promote democratic construction. We are also increasing our suggestions in this regard. It is still the same sentence. Report the situation you reported. Xiyue, these years, you have made a lot of efforts for the development of the local cause, for the protection of the interests of the people, and for the promotion of democratization. You have worked hard."
Qin Xiyue said with a little regret: "Old Wang, don't say that, I can't bear praise. I have a bad temper and lack working methods. I have tried to do many things, but I haven't done enough."
Wang Lao said with a smile: "No one is perfect. On the one hand, you have to work, and on the other hand, you must also pay attention to your body. If you ruin your body, I will not agree."
After talking on the phone, Qin Xiyue was still worried. He was afraid that Mr. Wang would forget the matter if he was busy, and he was even more afraid that Qi Muran and others had a protective umbrella on top. Even if Mr. Wang stepped forward, nothing could be done to him.He called Che Shusheng again, asking him to find out the time of signing the contract anyway, and the date when Ouyang Moqian arrived in Yinzhou.When Che Shusheng heard his tone, how dare he say no?After answering the call, he made a call to Heyang.Che Shusheng has also become smarter now, afraid that Zhou Yican would lie to him, he didn't ask her, but called Zhou Yican's secretary.As soon as the secretary heard that it was Secretary Zhou's husband, he immediately told Che Shusheng the signing time and the flight that Ouyang and Baoer took...
Seeing Qin Xiyue, Ouyang Moqian was taken aback, and his steps froze. "Dad." He murmured.
"Who is your dad? Do you still have the face to call me dad?" Qin Xiyue glared at Ouyang Moqian. If he wasn't at the airport, he really wanted to rush up and slap him twice first.
"Dad..." Seeing Qin Xiyue's expression, Ouyang Moqian realized that something might be wrong.But he only thought about one level, which was his marriage with Sisi, and he didn't realize that Qin Xiyue had completely grasped his bigger conspiracy.
"Come with me." Qin Xiyue held back the anger in his heart, regardless of the man with a high nose bridge named Baoer who followed behind Ouyang, and ordered coldly.
Ouyang Moqian looked back at Bauer, ignored Qin Xiyue's explanation, and obediently followed Qin Xiyue to the parking lot next to the terminal building.
来到一辆车前，秦西岳以不容置疑的口气说：“上车！”
欧阳默黔这才犯了疑。如果单是他跟思思之间的那点事，老爷子没必要看他刚出机场就把他带走，老爷子不是不明白他这次回来的目的。
“爸，你这是要带我去哪儿？”他警惕地问。
“去哪儿？公安局！”
"what?"
“你还想跟我演戏？这些年你在我面前演了多少戏？你害了思思还不够，还要害更多的人？你个不走正道的孽障，还有脸到自己的国土上丢人？上车！”
欧阳默黔脸色倏然一变。秦西岳这番话，一下子让他惊呆了。“你……你……”他的嘴唇抖着，却说不出话，目光惊骇地盯在秦西岳脸上，怀疑自己刚才是听错了。怎么可能，怎么可能呢？自己精心布下的一盘好棋，怎么会被这老爷子轻易戳穿？
“你现在有两条路可以选择：第一，带上你那位高鼻子的主子，立即滚回英国去；第二，乖乖跟我到公安局，把你做的丑事说清楚。”
“休想！”欧阳默黔叫了一声，掉头就往回走。这边，鲍尔一行已等得不耐烦了。欧阳默黔看见，河阳方面接他的人正在麦瑞的引领下，微笑着朝他走来。机场的天空蔚蓝一片，空气十分清新，甚至还弥散着一股淡淡的香味，这一切，是多么美好啊。可这个败兴的老头子，却偏要来搅他的局！他的步子慌乱而沉重，就这几十米的距离，他居然艰难得走不过去，好几次，他都感觉双腿发软，脚步踉踉跄跄的，好像随时都要瘫倒在地上。麦瑞看着不对劲，率先跑过来，挽住了他。
秦西岳冷冷地看着他的背影，心里叹道：这人，已是无可救药了。
就在河阳方面的人热情地邀请欧阳和鲍尔一行上车时，意想不到的一幕发生了。停车场另一侧，突然走过来几位身份神秘的人，跟河阳方面的代表低声说了几句什么，然后出其不意地奔向一辆面包车。几秒钟后，欧阳默黔和麦瑞被带到另一辆车上，鲍尔几个则被请上一辆挂着安全部门车牌的小车。
秦西岳惊讶地“啊”了一声，随即他便明白：一定是汪老的话起了作用。
很快，河阳陷入一片混乱！
听到消息，周一粲大惊失色。当时，她正在跟宣传部门的同志布置任务，宣传部门的通稿写得太过简单，她看了很不满意，要求他们将这次签约看成是河阳政治经济生活中的一件大事来对待，宣传的调子不能只停留在招商引资这个层面上，一定要拔高，要把它跟河阳的改革开放挂起来，跟构建和谐河阳挂起来。《河阳日报》的老总刚要请示，单纯在签约上做文章，怕是有小题大做之嫌，能不能把河阳工业企业的整体情况跟这次签约结合起来，从寻求突破口的角度去宣传？这当儿，周一粲桌上的电话响了。电话里，负责迎接欧阳一行的副市长拖着哭腔儿说：“周书记，出事了！省公安厅经侦处来了几位同志，将欧阳跟麦瑞带走了！”
“什么？”周一粲忍不住叫了起来，声音几乎失了真。
“鲍尔副总裁也被他们带走了。我跟他们交涉过，他们态度很强硬。”
“怎么会这样？”周一粲的声音颤抖着，身子缓缓倒在了椅子上。宣传部长见状，赶忙走近她问：“周书记，你是不是身体不舒服？”周一粲摆摆手：“你把人带走吧。宣传的事，先停下。”
人走尽后，周一粲慌忙抓起电话，给齐默然打。对方手机关着，拨了几次都是忙音，往办公室打，也没人接。
出事了，真的出事了！
周一粲颓然倒在沙发椅上，心里滚起一团接一团的黑云。她害怕的这一天终于到来了。齐默然啊齐默然，你不是说一切太平吗？你不是说高层已表态了吗？怎么还会这样，怎么还会这样啊？
不知觉间，一层冷汗浸透了她的身子，她感觉有些凉，有些冷，不，那简直是一种彻骨的寒冷。房间里明明有暖气，可她怎么会这么冷啊！她抓起水杯，拼命喝了几口，感觉身子暖和了一些，便又拿起电话，往省委打。她想，这个时候省委应该有消息给她，应该有人指示她，下一步该怎么做。可连打几个，都无人接听。她的心里暗得不能再暗了，像一个突然沉入深海中的人，感到窒息，难受，心跳也似乎完全停止了，恐怖一阵阵袭来，要将她彻底吞没。
消息很快传开，那些刚刚高兴了没几天的人，突然间全都傻眼了。几乎在同一时间，宋铜和左威不约而同地跑到了宋老爷子这里。宋铜进门就说：“爸，出事了，银州刚刚打来电话，说……”话还没说完，宋老爷子就吼了起来：“慌什么慌？瞧你们这点儿出息，不就带走个欧阳跟麦瑞吗？跟你们有啥关系？”
左威心存侥幸，问：“会不会是周铁山使了手段，想把河化弄到他手里啊？”
“你是猪啊？”宋老爷子歇斯底里地吼了一声。
正当左威等人惊惶失措的时候，许艳容仍在暗中履行着她的职责。强伟被带走，自己被革职，这些，都没阻断许艳容调查的脚步，相反，她调查得更加执著了。她已是第五次来沙县找章含秋了，贾一非车祸案不能彻底揭开，就无法掌握周铁山等人的犯罪证据，更不能将周铁山跟齐默然的权钱交易揭露出来。身为一名经验丰富的警察，许艳容深知，周铁山跟齐默然，一定有着千丝万缕的关系，贾一非曾经掌握的那些资料，就是这案子的突破口，只有拿到它，才能顺藤摸瓜，查出更多线索来。可是章含秋像是心事很重，对此事始终遮遮掩掩，不肯深谈。许艳容来了四次，章含秋哭了四次，除了一句“我对不住他”，就再也不肯多说什么。
凭女人的直觉，许艳容断定，章含秋跟丈夫贾一非感情并不怎么好，贾一非死后，章含秋的表现也有诸多令人生疑的地方。通常来说，丈夫突遭车祸，最最悲痛的应该是妻子，可据她调查，那些日子，章含秋并没表现出多大的悲痛，虽也哭过闹过，但都带有表演的痕迹，这一点章含秋的几位同事还有她最好的一位女友都有过疑惑。许艳容在调查中，亲耳听她们说，贾一非一死，章含秋倒像是突然解脱了一般。事实也确是如此，贾一非车祸案被交警部门以私了的性质了结掉后，章含秋很快离开原来的学校，到沙县县城附近一所中学任教，她将原来的住房卖了，在沙县新修的一个住宅小区重新购了房，目前虽说身边没出现别的男人，但给人的感觉像是她早已从丧夫的悲痛中解脱了出来。
遁着这些线索，许艳容对章含秋的私生活展开了调查，通过沙县方面的关系，终于查到，章含秋跟沙县教委一位姓方的副主任有染。侦查人员发现，有两次，都是天快擦黑时，方副主任悄悄溜进小区，钻进了章含秋那个单元的门洞。
再查，就发现，姓方的副主任曾是章含秋的大学同学，两人同一年分配到沙县，又是错前错后结的婚，两人在公开场合表现得很陌生，但从电信部门提供的电话记录上，却发现两人经常在深夜煲电话粥。
就在许艳容第四次找完章含秋时，沙县方面查到一个重要情况。贾一非车祸案发生前一个月，沙县绿洲宾馆发生过一件事：有人冒充公安，曾在一个雨夜查过这家宾馆，当时查到了两对到宾馆开房的男女，一对当场放了，一对，被带到了派出所。但沙县公安方面却没有这项记录，去年那个时间，公安部门也没派人到宾馆扫过黄。
拿出章含秋和方副主任的照片，宾馆当天值班的保安一眼就认出：那晚被带走的，就是他们。
这是一个重要线索。许艳容断定：章含秋的隐情，就与这起“扫黄”事件有关——她一定是被人抓到了把柄，迫不得已，才在贾一非车祸案中扮演了一个自己并不想扮演的角色。
许艳容很快将这事联想到周铁山身上。在沙县，敢冒充公安查宾馆的，只有周铁山，这也是他一贯的做法。周铁山手下有许多保安，穿警服对他们来说就像演戏的换上戏装一样随便和自然。而周铁山更是一个为达目的不择手段的人。据说当年他收购沙县糖厂时，一开始曾遭到县上某位领导的反对，后来周铁山就是通过盯梢，在宾馆拍到了对方跟一位播音员上床的证据，才迫使那人在会上表态，支持周铁山的收购……
带着种种猜想，许艳容再次敲开章含秋的门。章含秋似乎有些意外，她没想到许艳容会这么顽固，因为上次她已把话说得很绝，请许艳容不要再打扰她。
许艳容进屋后，章含秋久久没有说话，目光怔怔地停留在许艳容脸上。许艳容的顽固破坏了她的生活，但也在她心里激起一层层细浪。生活的荒诞恐怕就在于此：有些事你刻意要忘掉，但总有一双手要为你掀起那厚厚的幕帘，让你时刻都能看到自己过去的影子。去年强伟也是如此，几次约见她，要她把贾一非留下的东西拿出来。强伟跟许艳容一样，一口认定：那么重要的材料，贾一非不会只留一份，一定还留有复印件。那时候，章含秋真是叫苦不迭。她手里哪有什么证据材料啊？贾一非如果肯把这些交给她，他们的婚姻也走不到今天。但这些话，谁信啊？
“真是不好意思，说好了不再打扰你，你看，我又来了。”许艳容讪讪道。
章含秋苦苦一笑：东西找不到，不打扰她就是一句假话。她上次那样说，也是情非得已，她有自己的苦衷啊。
“章老师，我这次来还是那个目的。眼下强书记身遭不测，河阳的形势你也能看到，我真担心，再这样下去，那些证据就会被他们彻底销毁。如果从你这儿拿不到更有利的证据，不仅你丈夫的死因不能查清，河阳所有的迷案，怕都会……”许艳容说到这儿，拿眼观察着章含秋。其实这番话她已经说了好多遍，每说一次，她心里的阴影就要加深一次。想想这段日子周一粲等人的所作所为，她真怕随着河化的签约，扣在河阳上面的那几只盖子就会被人焊死，再也无法揭开。
“没用的，你跟我说这些，一点也没用。我手里真没什么材料。我还是请求你，别再打扰我了。都是女人，你应该能理解我的心情，我的日子，也不好过啊。”章含秋长长地叹了一声。许艳容发现，她眼眶有点湿，这是前几次没有过的。
许艳容顿时感觉到了希望。看来章含秋并不像她想象的那样长着一副铁石心肠，贾一非的死，对她的打击还是满沉重的。她趁势说：“含秋，正因为你我都是女人，我才能理解你的苦衷。我知道，你一定有什么难言之苦，如果相信我，不妨说出来，或许，我能帮你做点什么？”
“我什么苦都没有，只求你们能放过我，不要老是在我面前提起他。难道你不觉得，这样做对我很残酷吗？”章含秋哽咽着，忽然问了这么一句。许艳容一时没话说了。本来她还想试着说出方副主任的名字，看看章含秋有什么反应，章含秋这番话，让她忽然就没了勇气。的确，人是不能乱揭别人的伤痛的，特别是对一个不幸的女人。
许艳容这次还是一无所获，章含秋尽管始终都是一副悲悲切切的模样，但一涉及到她跟贾一非的感情，还有那些材料，便会剧烈地摇头，坚决不让许艳容再说下去。无奈之下，许艳容只好告辞。看来，想从章含秋身上拿到打开车祸案的钥匙，真是太难了。
许艳容正犹豫着要不要到章含秋母亲那儿问问时，手机响了。许艳容下意识地摆弄着手机，没去理会。
章含秋的母亲至今还住在乡下，是沙漠深处一个叫作枣儿台的地方。那儿的红枣很有名，是沙县一大特产。章含秋也是最近才知道，枣儿台曾是秦西岳当知青时插队落户的地方。当年的秦西岳风华正茂，一腔热血，在枣儿台一呆就是六年，秦西岳对沙漠的感情，大约就是在那时产生的。章含秋的母亲，确切说应该是章含秋的奶奶，曾是秦西岳的房东。当年章含秋的母亲刚刚出嫁，从沙县的另一头五道坝子嫁到了枣儿台。秦西岳跟几个知青住在她家，一家人对知青照顾得很好，双方也因此建立了深厚的感情。这些年，秦西岳有空就去枣儿台，去了还是住在老房东家。贾一非死后，章含秋的母亲曾经找过秦西岳，当时的目的是想让秦西岳帮着多跟肇事方要点钱，后来听说肇事方是个跟她一样的老农民，又叹息着说：“算了吧，人都死了，要钱能顶啥用呢？别再把那家人也给逼死了。”许艳容一开始还怀疑过，贾一非去省城那天，事先跟秦西岳通过电话，会不会是想通过秦西岳，把检举材料交到省人大呢？后来她问过秦西岳。秦西岳说，贾一非是跟他通过电话，但绝口没提举报材料的事。贾一非反映的是另一件事：沙县人大要盖新的办公大楼，预算方案已经出来了。贾一非说，这项投资近两千万元的办公楼又是一项腐败工程，这意味着人大主任又要借机捞钱了。他请求秦西岳出面制止此事。秦西岳后来专门了解过这事，查明修建人大办公楼只是李源权等几个人的想法，而资金、建设用地等一系列问题都还没有落实呢。秦西岳不禁暗暗摇头，责怪贾一非又在捕风捉影。联想到他跟人大主任李源权之间的矛盾，秦西岳心想这贾一非真是有点走火入魔了，就连做梦都在想着要扳倒李源权……
手机还在持续响着，许艳容一看，是个以前从没见过的陌生号码，心里便有丝疑惑。接通后，对方问了句：“是许局长吗？”许艳容“嗯”了一声。对方这才告诉她说：“我是强逸凡啊。”
“逸凡？”许艳容惊喜地叫了一声，叫完，又觉得自己的这份惊喜来得有些莫名其妙。他毕竟是强伟的儿子，而不是强伟本人。她这份掩饰不住的激动，不正恰恰暴露了自己与强伟的关系和对强伟的思念吗？
强逸凡说：“我在河阳，是专程来见你的。你有时间吗？”
许艳容怔了一下：在这个时候强逸凡找她，会不会……
转而一想，不会的，逸凡这孩子她还算了解，不至于受他母亲的怂恿和蛊惑，找她算账来了。便说自己还在沙县，正准备赶回去。强逸凡说了一家宾馆的名字，然后告诉许艳容，他在宾馆等她。
跟强逸凡见面已是晚上十点多了。许艳容正要坐车回河阳时，沙县公安局李副局长打来电话，说调查有了新的进展，有个情况要当面向她说。许艳容来到李副局长说的地方，李副局长快人快语，很快就将事情说了。
李副局长正是许艳容在沙县托的朋友，以前也在河阳东城区工作，去年干部交流时被派到沙县的。此人很有正义感，性格跟周涛有点像。
李副局长说，他们耍了点小手段，在教委方副主任身上做了点文章。方副主任的小舅子因赌博被派出所抓了进去，方副主任跑来领人。李副局长示意手下，以方副主任干扰执法为由，将人带到了他那里。在他一番耐心说服下，方副主任居然承认了跟章含秋的不正当关系，进而也道出了去年宾馆那起扫黄事件的真相。
事情果然是周铁山派人做的。方副主任说，那是他第一次跟章含秋开房，两人尽管感情很深，但从来不曾越过雷池一步。出事前一天，章含秋跟贾一非又发生了争执，起因还是周铁山。贾一非拿着那些检举材料，跟周铁山讨价还价。周铁山愿出二十万，把这些东西全买了。贾一非却坚持要价八十万，还附带了一个条件：要周铁山动用关系，将他安排到沙县教委主任的位子上。周铁山哪肯受贾一非要挟？他所以拿出二十万买检举材料，主要还是沙县人大主任李源权的意思。李源权怕贾一非真把事情抖出去，对谁都不利。哪知道贾一非竟然得寸进尺了。周铁山鼻子里“哼”了一声，警告贾一非：“你小子别想得太美了，再不住手，我让你连小命也保不住！”
在得知丈夫的用心之后，章含秋忍不住就指责贾一非，说他利欲熏心、手段卑鄙，不料却引来一场大骂。章含秋刚跟贾一非争辩几句，贾一非就气急败坏地抓起茶杯，冲章含秋砸了过来。两人吵完架后，章含秋打电话将方副主任约到宾馆，本是想跟他诉诉心里的苦，没想到两人说着说着就抱在了一起，后来竟又稀里糊涂地上了床……
周铁山的手下以扫黄为名冲了进去，不由分说，先拿照相机一阵乱拍，等把照片拍够了，才将他们带到另一家宾馆，强行让他们写了认罪书和保证书。当时方副主任并不知道这伙人是周铁山派来的，还以为真是警察在办案。结果一个月后贾一非出了事，章含秋正要找有关方面反映可疑情况，周铁山突然打来电话说，照片在他手上，保证书也在他手上，如果她不想跟姓方的一道身败名裂，就乖乖的啥也别说，让交警处理好了。
I see!
有了方副主任这番证词，接下来的问题就好调查了。许艳容跟李副局长交换了意见，对下一步工作重新计划了一番，因为急着见强逸凡，匆匆跟李副主任告别了。
临走时，李副主任神秘地对她说，省城已有行动，欧阳默黔和麦瑞已被省厅带走了。这消息虽然令人振奋，但毕竟是经历了太多变故，许艳容再也不敢把一切想得太过乐观。她提醒李副局长，一定要慎而又慎，决不能让对方有所察觉。
李副局长郑重地点了点头。
赶回河阳，已是深夜。许艳容怕太晚了见面不方便，就打电话问了一下。不想强逸凡表现得更为急迫，说无论如何，也要跟她见一面。
见面的一瞬，两人都有些傻。强逸凡没想到，许艳容会这么年轻，这么漂亮，从外貌上看，比他大不了几岁。他根据母亲的描述，曾把她想象成是一个半老徐娘，哪知道她的气质、容貌，还有身上传递出来的气息等等，跟他预想的一点都对不上。许艳容呢，倒是惊讶于强逸凡的老练、成熟，还有他眉宇间透出的那股刚气。她虽没见过强逸凡，但在内心里，一直是拿他当孩子看的，这可能是因为强伟的缘故吧。强伟老是当着她的面，提起他这个儿子，许艳容也就不由自主地，生出一种类似于母爱般的情愫。
短暂的惊诧之后，强逸凡请许艳容坐下。毕竟是第一次见面，两个人多多少少都有些尴尬。尤其许艳容，一想到前些日子那场照片风波，就感觉在强逸凡面前坐不住。她相信，胡玫一定将照片的事跟强逸凡说了，指不定还在强逸凡面前说她多少坏话呢。这么想着，脸颊禁不住红起来，心也怦怦直跳。强逸凡也是极不自在，那天他从秦西岳那里跑回家，母亲先是告状，将父亲跟许艳容的事渲染了又渲染，将父亲贬得一文不值，许艳容更是让她说成了娼妇。好在对父亲，强逸凡还是很能理解，有时候他也想，父亲这一生，要说也很失败，虽然官居要职，但在婚姻上没一点幸福而言。母亲心理狭隘不说，单是那张嘴，就让人受不了。强逸凡试着劝过母亲，谁知不劝还好，一劝，母亲的话就冲他来了：“好啊，你现在有了工作，能挣大钱了，就跟你老子合成一伙，欺负我了。”母亲就是这样一个人，总怀疑别人对她不忠，自己遇到任何挫折，都要先怪罪到别人身上。想想，父亲能跟母亲生活到今天，也算是一件不简单的事。对婚姻、对感情，强逸凡有他自己的理解。他的确不能明白，父亲为什么要为这样一份没有感情的婚姻葬送掉自己的一生？想想自己曾经在感情上的荒唐行为，他觉得自己跟父亲真是差别太大了，这也许就是所谓的代沟吧。
但今天来，他不是跟许艳容探讨婚姻的，更不想把这些情感夹杂在里面，他是为父亲而来。从回来到现在，他还没打听到父亲的下落呢。他问过秦西岳，秦西岳也说打听不到。父亲到底让他们带到了哪里？还有，父亲真的贪污了那么多钱？
强逸凡终于鼓起勇气，将心头的疑惑问了出来。许艳容听了，反问道：“难道你也怀疑自己的父亲？”
强逸凡说：“我不是怀疑。家里出了这么大的事，至少，我应该知道父亲在哪儿。”
许艳容沉重地告诉他，强伟的下落她也打听不到。这是齐默然精心安排的，就怕让人知道后有人会四处说情。“不过，”她吭了一下，接着道，“你父亲不会有事的，你要相信他，更要相信组织。他是挪用了那些钱，但据我了解，那钱不是他自己用的。我虽然不能告诉你，那笔钱到底去了哪儿，但我坚信，你父亲不会把它们装进自己腰包，而且，那钱也不是移民安置款。有人故意将它说成移民安置款，是想加重他的罪名，以此陷害他。”
“许……”强逸凡忽然间不知该
