After Qi Moran, the former deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was "double-regulated" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the newly appointed Comrade Zhong Chao adjusted the team of the provincial party committee, letting Deputy Secretary Tong take charge of Qi Moran's original work.The sudden shock of the Heyang team had already given Deputy Secretary Tong a headache, but what bothered him the most was someone else. The car was running on the highway heading for Sanhe City, and Ma Qiming was still in a depressed mood.From yesterday to now, Ma Qiming's mood has always been in a kind of injustice that feels like pain and anger. He never dreamed that the provincial committee would take this action and suddenly remove him from the position of deputy commander of Jingshan Development Zone and move him to Sanhe go.The decision shocked him so much that he was almost speechless.

Ma Qiming determined that this was related to the on-site meeting held half a month ago. Half a month ago, Jingshan Development Zone held an on-site meeting in the No. 2 construction section. Deputy Secretary Tong of the Provincial Party Committee attended the meeting in person. He was accompanied by the commander-in-chief of the development zone, Xu Dakang, mayor of Jingshan City, as well as representatives from the Provincial Construction Department and the Provincial Planning Commission. lead.The construction section No. 2 is a demonstration project in the development zone, and Deputy Commander Zeng personally oversees it. Ma Qiming seldom comes here.Mayor Xu Dakang introduced the construction process of the No. 2 construction section to Deputy Secretary Tong in detail, and led Deputy Secretary Tong to visit the newly built development zone management office building, science and technology information city, etc. without compromising.Deputy Secretary Tong seemed very happy and kept affirming the construction of the development zone.At the moment when both the host and the guest were walking towards the meeting hall with relaxed smiles, Ma Qiming suddenly pointed to the crowd not far away who were forcibly blocked by the staff of the development zone and said, "What happened there?" His question didn't matter. Mayor Xu Dakang's face suddenly turned green, his expression almost frozen.Deputy Secretary Tong, who had already stepped up the steps of the meeting hall, also stopped, glanced at Xu Dakang, and said, "Go and have a look."

Seeing this, the joyful atmosphere of the meeting was completely ruined. Those who were blocked by the staff were the migrant workers who heard the news and came to ask Deputy Secretary Tong for their wages. Deputy Secretary Tong will not be allowed to leave unless the salary is paid.Xu Dakang's face turned from green to black, and a scorched flame burst out from his face.Deputy Commander Zeng was even more flustered, and sternly said to his subordinates, "Hurry up and get that person away." Deputy Secretary Tong didn't say anything at that time, but just kept looking at their faces.If Ma Qiming didn't make more trouble, maybe the ending of the matter would not be so bad, but he couldn't hold back, pointing to the leading migrant worker and said, "Come here, talk slowly if you have any questions, don't talk about it or you won't be able to live."

This talk brought out the long-term arrears of wages to migrant workers in the No. 2 construction section, and the site will be suspended because of this.Deputy Secretary Tong ordered the Construction Department to immediately organize forces to investigate the matter.At the investigation meeting, Ma Qiming fired at Xu Dakang and Deputy Commander Zeng again, pointing out the many fake phenomena he heard and saw, and Xu Dakang was so angry that he slapped the table.In other words, Xu Dakang personally ordered Ma Qiming to serve as the deputy commander. Why didn't he give Mayor Xu any face at the critical moment?

Ma Qiming couldn't figure it out himself. Of course, he had absolutely no bad motives to intentionally smear Mayor Xu. He just didn't want to see the vile scene of using sticks to open up migrant workers like dogs.What they ask for is just a little bit of coolie money!It is true that funds are tight, but can this be a reason?According to Ma Qiming's understanding, if he is so nervous that he can't even pay the migrant workers' wages, this development zone would rather not be built!Besides, he is also the second-in-command, so he knows better than anyone else whether he is nervous or not.Too black hearted!I remember that he just slapped Mayor Xu on the table like that, expressing his dissatisfaction and anger.

Afterwards, everyone said that he, Ma Qiming, had gone too far, that he shouldn't have played this game in front of Deputy Secretary Tong, and he shouldn't have been in the limelight by himself and wiped out all the credit for everyone in the development zone.Ma Qiming himself regretted it a bit. He didn't expect that the matter would become so big. Deputy Secretary Tong would suspend Xu Dakang's post on the spot, and then held another on-site meeting to explain all the things he said excitedly at the investigation meeting. After doing the investigation, this revealed the unknown side of the development zone.

There are many complaints in the development zone, and the voice of denouncing Machiming is louder than that of bulldozers.Ma Qiming had a premonition that it was not good, but he never expected that the final outcome of the matter would be like this. The development zone collectively changed shifts, and he himself was transferred to Sanhe City as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. I don't agree!Machiming said so heavily in his heart. He said this in front of Deputy Secretary Tong yesterday.After the Minister of Organization euphemistically conveyed to him the decision just made by the Provincial Party Committee, Ma Qiming's first thought was to be stabbed.Just because he crowed a few more times than other roosters, and because he dared to stretch out his neck, the sharp knife was put on his neck.

Deputy Secretary Tong didn't explain much, just stared at him meaningfully for a while, and then said calmly: "Sending you to Sanhe City was also repeatedly considered by the provincial party committee. The work in the development zone is important, but you are a student. As for politics and law, you should go to a position that suits you better." A more suitable position?Ma Qiming in the car suddenly smiled, a bit sad and gloomy. Ma Qiming is a talented student in the Department of Political Science and Law of Northwest University. After graduation, he was directly assigned to the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, working from the secretary to the director.In the year when Deputy Secretary Tong served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Ma Qiming was sent to a county as the county magistrate, which was his first contact with the grassroots.He spent two years there, and had just experienced a life completely different from the provincial party committee compound. He was withdrawn by a transfer order and continued to work in the Political and Legal Committee.At that time, Deputy Secretary Tong had become a powerful faction in the province, and his future was immeasurable. Ma Qiming carefully accompanied him and assumed the role of secretary.However, this secretary was always causing trouble, always revealing things that shouldn't be revealed, which made Deputy Secretary Tong very passive several times.Ma Qiming still remembers how Deputy Secretary Tong taught him.Deputy Secretary Tong seems never to be tepid or angry, but there is a majesty in his eyes that will not allow you to disobey.One of the words he criticized Ma Qiming the most was, when will you be able to stabilize yourself? Passion alone is not enough to do things. What is passion? For those who make big things happen, passion is poison!

Make a big deal?Ma Qiming shook his head, he didn't even think about accomplishing any great things, he just wanted to live according to his wish in this life.Yes, my wish.But Ma Qiming found more and more that this matter was a bit difficult, especially for a person who strayed into his official career, this way of living was simply torture.There is always something forcing you to give up, forcing you to go in the opposite direction of your wish.But Ma Qiming was not reconciled! Whether he is willing or not, he can't help him, just like now, despite his hundred thousand reluctances, he obediently got into the car and rushed to take office.what else can we do?

Ma Qiming smiled bitterly, thinking about the road he had traveled, he was really moved. Not long after returning to the Political and Legal Committee, he caused a disturbance because of one incident.As a last resort, Deputy Secretary Tong sent him down to the county again.This time it was a poorer county, and he was named as the secretary of the county party committee.Ma Qiming himself doesn't think it's hard, poor counties and rich counties are no different to him, but he likes the feeling that he can do what he says.But two years later, Deputy Secretary Tong recalled him, without asking indiscriminately, and reprimanded him immediately.Ma Qiming did not show respect this time, but stood up very bluntly.

what I did wrong?In the past two years, I have increased the per capita income of farmers by more than 300 yuan, revived three state-owned enterprises, built two rural roads, and solved the five-year-long problem of arrears of teachers' wages. Don't you see all this? Deputy Secretary Tong sighed: "Of course, what you said is correct. In terms of political achievements alone, you should be praised, no matter how much you praise. However, you have committed a big taboo. You should not be unruly Think about it, within one year you replaced forty-three bureau chiefs and hospitalized the old county magistrate. Not to mention, how dare you mention a socialite with a very bad reputation in one step? In the position of the director general, there is a lot of trouble. If this continues, what are you going to do!" Courtesan?Ma Qiming stared in astonishment at the old leader whom he regarded as his mentor, and said impulsively: "Even you think so? She is capable, and she is many times better than those wine and meat cadres who stand in the latrine and don't shit. I Why can't you promote her?" Just mention it if you can?Deputy Secretary Tong slowed down, and said earnestly: "My Secretary Ma, don't forget at any time. There are rules for everything. Breaking the rules and acting independently is not the choice of a person who achieves great things." "I don't want to make a big deal!" Ma Qiming almost yelled at Deputy Secretary Tong.With this yell, Deputy Secretary Tong completely hung him up and arranged him to be the deputy editor-in-chief of a political and legal magazine under the political and legal committee. It was a painless life for more than a year.It wasn't until the development zone selected cadres and Xu Dakang approached Deputy Secretary Tong for important people that Ma Qiming returned to his fiery life. Unexpectedly, this time, he got the same fate. "I really don't want to repent!" Deputy Secretary Tong said so bitterly. "I don't want to repent." Ma Qiming said as if fighting against someone.Realizing that he was in the car, Ma Qiming withdrew his thoughts sadly. He was really reluctant to part with the development zone. He originally planned to work hard there, integrating his talents and wisdom into the construction of the development zone, and truly build a The new Jingshan City is full of the characteristics of the times and the spirit of flying.It is not in vain for him to walk on this fiery land. Forget it, everything is over, and I still don't know what the landscape of Sanhe City is waiting for him. The phone rang, and when it was connected, it was the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, telling him that they had arrived in Sanhe.Ma Qiming let out a "hmm" and didn't say any more.The Provincial Party Committee was just like trying to catch a duck to the shelves. It was announced yesterday, but it was forced to take office today. To show its grandeur, it even specially asked the head of the Organization Department to come and announce it.This specification, I am afraid that only Ma Chiming can enjoy it. The car shook violently, as if it was about to be thrown off the road.Ma Qiming was startled, and hurriedly asked the driver what happened?The driver said in a startled voice, "It's a motorcycle, crossing the highway." Ma Qiming poked his eyes out and saw a motorcycle flying away.The rider was a young man from the countryside, his hair was blown wildly by the wind, and he looked very majestic.He scolded unhappily: "I really don't understand the rules, how can the highway be crossed indiscriminately?" The driver calmed down and said, "The highways in this area are like this. Whenever they pass through villages, the villagers cut off the guardrails and forced them to cross. There have been many accidents." Ma Qiming let out an "oh" and found that the car had reached the border of Sanhe.He is no stranger to this land. He worked under Deputy Secretary Tong and accompanied him here several times.His impression of Sanhe is that it is a typical big agricultural city and a small economical city.People's ideas are like the young people who cross the road, with a kind of self-righteous publicity.Of course, he hoped that Sanhe would change after these years of development.The car drove on for a while, and when it was about to reach Wushui County, there was a traffic jam ahead, and the road was filled with dark vehicles.The driver sighed and slowly stopped the car.Ma Qiming looked at his watch. It was eleven o'clock in the morning, forty minutes before the time he had agreed with the head of the organization department.They plan to meet with the city leaders at 11:40, then have lunch, and hold a general meeting in the afternoon to announce.Ma Qiming has always been very indifferent to these procedures, so he just took office. Why is it necessary to be so grand? The car stopped for 20 minutes, but there was no movement from the car in front.Ma Qiming was a little impatient, and asked the driver to go down to see if it was a car accident or something else.After about 20 minutes, the driver ran over in a panic, saying, "Secretary Ma, there is someone petitioning ahead." Petition?Ride the road to petition?Machiming felt incredible. The driver murmured, not daring to answer right away.However, his complexion was very bad, as if he had been suddenly frightened, he was pale. "What's going on?" Ma Qiming suddenly had a premonition and asked sharply. "Yes Yes……" "What is it?" "Secretary Ma, someone is complaining to you with a sign." The driver finally stammered out the previous situation.After hearing this, Ma Qiming jumped out of the car decisively, and walked forward regardless of what the driver yelled behind him.Sure enough, the more we walked forward, the more vehicles there were, and the crowd was crowded.In addition to the people in the blocked vehicles, there were also people who ran around to watch the excitement.When Ma Qiming came up to him, he saw a young woman about thirty years old kneeling in the middle of the road.Holding a card in both hands, there are a few large characters written on it: I beg Ma Zhengfa to redress my grievances. Ma Zhengfa?Ma Qiming's eyes were scalded by these three words, and his mind flashed quickly, who is this woman, and how did he know that I was going to pass by today?He squeezed forward, only to find that there were two old people in the middle of the road, who looked like a couple.The old man held a thick stack of papers in his hand, and every time a car passed by, he stuffed a few sheets into it.He also asked through the car window: "Are you new to Ma Zhengfa?" Seeing the people in the car shaking their heads, the old man showed deep disappointment on his face.However, he seemed very stubborn and insisted on asking them one by one.It was the old man's stubbornness that caused so many traffic jams on the road.On the other side of the road, the old lady was also kneeling with a little girl in her arms. A long piece of white cloth was spread out in front of her, with black words written all over it.Ma Qiming squeezed over and looked along the white cloth, his heart suddenly seized. The woman kneeling in the middle of the road is called Su Zi, a very beautiful name.His husband, Tao Shi, was a car driver. He was locked up in a detention center for investigation due to a traffic accident.Unexpectedly, her husband Tao Shi was beaten to death in the detention center by the prison bully.Su Zi petitioned everywhere, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and that her husband be redressed.Her tears filled the long road of petitioning, but the prison bully Xiao Niu was acquitted and walked on the street swaggeringly.How can she be willing?She doesn't believe that her husband's blood can be shed in vain, and she doesn't believe that the Communist Party will allow innocent souls to die in vain.However, in this world, who can make the decision for her? Another wronged soul! Seeing this, Machiming took a deep breath.At this time, he heard people talking about Su Zi's kneeling every day for several months, with several layers of skin on her knees, and her husband's affairs were still not dealt with fairly. "Darkness!" Someone sighed fiercely, turned and left.Ma Qiming didn't dare to wait any longer, quietly got out, and walked back with a heavy heart.This time he didn't act passionately, he felt as if he was running away, and felt a little sorry for Su Zi who was kneeling.However, in front of so many people, if he stood up, what promise could he give her? Promises are not something you can do if you want to! Machiming felt a little sad. However, he firmly remembered the name "Su Zi". Li Chunjiang sat alone in the office. Knowing that Su Zi failed to stop Ma Qiming, Li Chunjiang was overwhelmed with despair.Doesn't he dare to take this case?Or did Su Zi miss him?Impossible, Li Chunjiang believed that Su Zi would not miss it.Everything was carefully calculated by him.In order to find out the exact time when Ma Qiming was on the road, Li Chunjiang did not hesitate to use his friends from the public security circle in the provincial capital to ask the traffic police to contact him along the way.It wasn't until Ma Qiming arrived at Wushui that he arranged for Su Zi's family to go to the expressway. Moreover, he specifically explained to the traffic police on the expressway that he would do him a favor by not blocking Su Zi's petition. Li Chunjiang did this out of helplessness.There is no other way, as soon as Ma Qiming sets foot on the border of Sanhe and sits in his seat as Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, he will be surrounded by all kinds of forces. If Su Zi expects him to redress his grievances, he may become a moon in the water, a fog in the water middle flower. But even with such calculations, he failed to help Su Zi present his grievances to Ma Qiming.It must be that he is also afraid of this case, or someone called in advance. Just as he was thinking about it, Zheng Yuan called and asked whether Su Zi's petition was arranged by him?As soon as he said "yes", Zheng Yuan became furious and scolded him for killing Su Zi. "Do you know that just as Su Zi left the highway, a motorcycle was speeding towards her. If I hadn't been in a row to protect her, she would have died right now!" Zheng Yuan's voice was so loud that Li Chunjiang's eardrums hurt. .Li Chunjiang was shocked, how dare they do such a murderous thing in broad daylight!After a long time, he asked: "How is Su Zi doing now?" "What else can I do, Chun Jiang, stop meddling in your own business, okay? I beg you." Zheng Yuan's voice suddenly softened, as if he was begging him.Li Chunjiang really couldn't understand Zheng Yuan.Ordinarily, when something happened to Taoshi, Zheng Yuan should be the one who was most anxious, but he stopped himself time and time again, not letting him make things worse.Li Chunjiang was a little discouraged, but Li Chunjiang was still in a cold sweat because of the opponent's attack. After get off work, Li Chunjiang returned home, but his daughter Duoduo hadn't come back yet.He put down twenty yuan and left a note for Dodo, telling her to figure out what to do for dinner, and then rushed to the hospital. Li Chunjiang's wife Ye Zihe was hospitalized.A few months ago, she said that her breasts were uncomfortable, but Li Chunjiang didn't care, but a few days ago a lump formed in her breasts, and Li Chunjiang was afraid.The doctor made a preliminary diagnosis of cancer, but the detailed results have not yet come out.Li Chunjiang hurried to the hospital, and rushed to the attending doctor first.As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard two doctors talking about his illness, and it was his wife Ye Zihe's.After Li Chunjiang heard a few words, his head thumped.He opened the door and rushed in and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?" The two doctors exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Director Li, please follow me." Li Chunjiang was taken to an office, and Dr. Zhou, who was in charge of Ye Zihe's condition, said, "I'm sorry, Director Li. After a consultation this afternoon, we confirmed that your wife's breast has become cancerous." What?Although he had made sufficient psychological preparations before, Li Chunjiang was still too shocked to speak when he heard Dr. Zhou's clear answer.cancer?What a terrible word!His face was instantly sallow, and his mood fell into extreme panic.After a long time, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Doctor Zhou, are you sure?" Doctor Zhou nodded with a serious expression on his face. "Then... will it be dangerous?" Li Chunjiang felt that he was out of breath. "Not yet, but the surgery has to be done quickly. Judging from the current situation, the surgery is still of great significance. I hope you can do the work of helping the patients as soon as possible and actively cooperate with us." Seeing him constantly wiping his sweat, Dr. Zhou paused After a while, he continued, "Breast cancer isn't too scary, but your wife's cancer is in a special place, very close to the lungs. If it metastasizes, it will be difficult to control." Doctor Zhou was still saying that Li Chunjiang's mind was already empty.He didn't listen to a word about the consequences of the protracted illness. Back in the ward, I found Taozi was there too.The two women were talking and laughing, and the nurse had disappeared.Li Chunjiang pretended to be happy and greeted Tao Zi.Taozi asked him why he didn't go to the meeting to have dinner, Li Chunjiang stared at Taozi incomprehensibly.Tao Zi said: "Isn't Secretary Ma taking office today? All the gods are here. Why didn't you join in the fun?" Pass.With her accompanying Ye Zihe, Ye Zihe looked much more energetic. Li Chunjiang hesitated a few words, then sat by the hospital bed, and asked Ye Zihe how he was feeling today, and what would he like to eat? Tao Zi was surprised, and said: "It's an old couple's, and it's still so nasty, so I'm not afraid of being jealous." While talking, Tao Zi's cell phone rang, and it was Zheng Yuan, who asked her where she was.Tao Zi said: "Where else can I be, I will accompany Zi He." Zheng Yuan asked: "Is Li Chunjiang there?" Which goblin hooked it away." He said and stuck out his tongue at Li Chunjiang.For some reason, Li Chunjiang's heart suddenly turned upside down, thinking that Taozi shouldn't make such a joke.Taozi reprimanded him again, and he said angrily, "Can you be more serious?" Zheng Yuan probably heard Li Chunjiang's voice, and told Taozi not to go away, he will come right away. A few minutes later, Zheng Yuan arrived, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Have the results come out? What did the doctor say?" Said: "Let me just say, such a beautiful beauty, how can God be willing to let her have that kind of disease. It's all over now, don't worry. Hey, Zihe, tell me quickly, what do you want to eat, I will buy it for you. " After Ye Zihe was hospitalized, she lost all appetite. As long as one end of the food she usually likes to eat is put in front of her mouth, her stomach will feel nauseous.She asked Li Chunjiang: "Where is Duoduo, how does she eat?" Li Chunjiang said: "I left money, she can eat by herself, what do you want to eat?" Before Ye Zihe could answer, he said again: "Look at me I'm busy, I can't even cook for you. I'll ask for leave tomorrow, so I'll just stay with you in the hospital." Ye Zihe glanced at her husband gratefully, and said a little worriedly: "I don't need you to worry about it, Duo Duo will be here soon. The exam is over, we can't let her just make do with it outside." Just as she was speaking, the nurse came.The nurse is a laid-off female worker in her thirties. She was dragged by Tao Zi to find her. She is very down-to-earth and considerate in taking care of patients.She carried a hot box of noodles and smiled shyly at a few people.Li Chunjiang took the lunch box and wanted to feed Ye Zihe himself.Ye Zihe opened him and said: "You can go out with them to eat, go home early after eating, and Magnolia will accompany me at night, so you don't have to use it." Magnolia is the nurse. The three left the hospital, and Tao Zi proposed to eat hot pot.Li Chunjiang didn't have any appetite, he reasoned that he had a headache and wanted to go back.Zheng Yuan saw something was wrong, pulled him over and said, "Tell me the truth, is it that disease?" Just as Li Chunjiang nodded, tears welled up. Ye Zihe's condition immediately caused everyone to panic, especially Taozi, when she heard that Ye Zihe was really cancer, tears poured down her face, and she held Zheng Yuan's arm tightly, how could she still see the shadow of the laugh just now.Zheng Yuan sighed, and said: "It's not the time to be sad now, hurry up and find a way to treat it. Let's do this, you and Tao Zi go to eat first, and I'll go back to the county right away. The relationship between Dean Qin of the county hospital and the experts of the Provincial Cancer Hospital That's right, I will invite experts overnight, and I must consult with them as soon as possible to come up with the best treatment plan." After speaking, he left Li Chunjiang and Taozi, and drove away.Only then did Taozi wipe away her tears, and persuaded Li Chunjiang: "You must hold on. At this time, you must not lose confidence. Let's go, eat first." Saying that, he dragged Li Chunjiang to a restaurant on the street. Li Chunjiang and Ye Zihe are not locals.Li Chunjiang's hometown is in Hebei. After graduating from university, he was first assigned to the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and then to the grassroots.Ye Zihe's hometown is in the countryside of northern Shaanxi. After graduation, she was assigned to work as a teacher in the countryside of Sanhe City.In the fifth year after marrying Li Chunjiang, she was transferred from a rural middle school to the urban area. Last year, she passed the competition and became the vice principal of Sanhe No. 2 Middle School.She didn't expect a good day to start, but a ruthless illness suddenly found her. Experts from the provincial capital consulted with doctors from Sanhe City Hospital, and it was confirmed that Ye Zihe's cancer cells had not spread, and surgery should be performed immediately.Unexpectedly, Ye Zihe himself disagreed with life and death.No matter how hard Li Chunjiang talked, she just didn't agree.In fact, from the day she was hospitalized, Ye Zihe had a premonition that what she had was not a good disease.The reason why he didn't express his doubts was because he was afraid that Li Chunjiang would be worried.All these years, the last thing she wanted to see was her husband and daughter worrying about her.Right now her husband is at another juncture in his life, although Li Chunjiang doesn't say it clearly, but the careful Ye Zihe knows it better than anyone else.Once again the husband faced a big challenge.More importantly, daughter Dodo.Dodo is about to take the college entrance examination. If Dodo finds out that she has cancer and needs an operation, it will undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue.How can children feel at ease, how can they take the test?These are the reasons that prevent her from undergoing surgery.She hid her pain in her heart, smiled and said to Li Chunjiang: "Take care first, and after Duo Duo finishes the exam, everything is up to you, okay?" Li Chunjiang grabbed her hand and said, "Zihe, you can't delay, you can't delay anything." "Chunjiang, don't force me, okay? After all these years, don't you know my temper? I listen to you in everything except surgery." Li Chunjiang had no choice.He was also forced to tell Ye Zihe the truth.I thought she would be overwhelmed and collapsed, but I didn't expect her to be stronger and more optimistic than him.But, how could he just watch her not have the operation? He had no choice but to leave the work of persuasion to Tao Zi.He even wanted to go to his hometown in northern Shaanxi to rescue soldiers, and begged his elderly mother-in-law to persuade his wife. The phone rang suddenly, and as soon as it was connected, I heard Dodo yelling on the phone: "Dad, come quickly..." Li Chunjiang broke out in a cold sweat. It was midnight at midnight, and he came to the hospital after seeing Duo Duo returning home safely after self-study. "Duoduo!" He yelled, ran out, and bumped into the nurse who came in to change the dressing.He frantically ran downstairs, rushed out of the hospital, and hailed a taxi.On the way, he called home again and again, but the phone was always busy.His heart was about to jump out.Dodo, Dodo, he called over and over again, for fear that something might happen to his lovely daughter. In the hospital, Ye Zihe, who was hit by the phone, jumped off the bed and rushed out like crazy.No matter how the nurse and Tao Zi tried to stop her, they couldn't stop them.The peaceful hospital immediately panicked when she made a fuss.The doctor on duty came quickly with the medical staff, not understanding what happened.They forced her onto the bed, and Tao Zi shouted at the top of her voice, "Isn't it just a phone call? Why are you nervous?" "Duo Duo, my Duo Duo—" Ye Zihe completely lost her mind.The thing she worried about finally happened. At this moment, she suddenly hated Li Chunjiang, hated that he didn't listen to her dissuasion, insisted on—— Ten minutes later, Li Chunjiang rushed to the door of the house, the anti-theft door was closed tightly, and the corridor was quiet, as if something had happened.Take out the key, turn the lock, and everything is fine.The moment he entered the door, he swished out his gun, held his breath, and kicked the door open.Dodo jumped out from inside and hugged him. "Dad, knife, knife..." Li Chunjiang saw a flying knife inserted into the doorpost leading to the living room from the balcony, with a letter tied on it.Only then did his heart relax, and he was able to catch his breath. "Duo Duo, don't be afraid, there is daddy here—" Li Chunjiang patted Duo Duo's shoulder, and let Duo Duo calm down first.Then go to the balcony.The flying knife came in from the balcony window. Li Chunjiang regretted that he was too careless and forgot to close the window.He took down the letter, glanced at it, and tore it to pieces.Dodo shook her body and asked, "Father, who is it? Who did you offend? What's written on it?" "It's okay, Dodo, don't be afraid, they are a bunch of boring people." Machiming seemed to have fallen into the banquet heap. Warm blessings, ambiguous congratulations, confessions, hints, and even blatant flattery.Being an official in the local area is so different from that in the provincial government.For several days in a row, he was soaked in various face-to-face meetings, symposium meetings, briefing meetings, and then banquets, endlessly. He was like a distant relative who came suddenly and received meticulous care and care.It is also like a bride, being led by a pair of big hands, going around to meet, recognize the door, and meet the masters of this big family one by one.In short, he has been exhibited and tested once. Fortunately, he persisted.I couldn't even think about it.When Ma Qiming was the secretary of the county party committee, he had learned this lesson.He soaked in the liquor store for a month, until his headache was splitting and his stomach was about to rot, but the people in the queue behind him still complained, as if the black yarn on their heads would fall off if they had a meal with him late.He finally couldn't drink anymore, and slapped the table and scolded the secretary: "I haven't drunk in my life or something, I want you to bring me a wine jar every day?" As a result, when he said this, he offended many people.It wasn't those who lined up to buy him a drink, and they didn't dare to take their anger out on Machiming, but those who called him as a manager from all corners above.They thought that Ma Chiming's tail was too high. Isn't it just a county party secretary?As a result, he was unable to carry out his work or even enter the role for as long as three months.Don't underestimate the power of the wine market!Sometimes, it works better than holding a standing committee.I remember that a friend told him the mystery inside like this. Now, Ma Qiming wanted to calm down, he recognized the door, met him, and knew the location of the kitchen, the noodle cabinet, the cupboard, everything he should know.Next, it was time for him, the bride, to enter the role and try to cook for the masters who took care of him. This afternoon, he locked himself in the office and told his secretary that if there were no important guests visiting, please do not disturb him.Then he opened the detailed information on the political and legal system that the secretary had prepared for him, and read it carefully. The Political and Legal Committee is on the fourth floor, and Ma Qiming's office is at the innermost.The afternoon sun leaked in through the windows, warming the room.Ma Qiming's mood also gradually cleared up. Although he came to Sanhe with grievances and dissatisfaction, he was at peace when he came, and Ma Qiming was still very good at adjusting himself.According to the division of labor of the Standing Committee, in addition to being in charge of politics and law, Ma Qiming also assists the municipal government in attracting investment and developing the private economy.According to Secretary Yuan Bo, he comes from the development zone and has rich experience and channels for attracting investment. This is also called resource advantage and should be fully exploited.However, Ma Qiming has his own ideas. Attracting investment and developing the economy are the central tasks of the government. It would be great if he could not intervene and concentrate on the political and legal system. While watching, Secretary Xiao Tian came in and said, "The deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wu Dagong, has come and said he has something to report." He then presented a letter in front of him.Ma Qiming looked at the handwriting on the envelope and found it familiar.He asked what it was, and Xiaotian said it was given to him by Deputy Director Wu.After speaking, he stepped back to the side.Ma Qiming opened the letter, and it was indeed written by Ouyang Zilan, with good handwriting that is free and easy and flutters like flying.He hurriedly read it with admiring eyes, feeling surprised.she?But he pretended nothing had happened, put the letter in the drawer, and asked, "Where's the person?" "Waiting in the reception room." Oda said. "Let him in." This afternoon, Ma Qiming really didn't want to see anyone, so he turned off his mobile phone and the office phone.This is his habit. One must concentrate before sinking into a certain thing.Whether it's good to meet or grasp the situation these days, Ma Qiming has already faintly felt something in the lively and chaotic scene.What exactly it was, Ma Qiming couldn't say for a while, but the feeling was very strong, maybe he was drawn by that feeling, so he wanted to go deep into the work as soon as possible. This Wu Dagong and Ma Qiming were not familiar with him. He had contacted him once or twice before, but it was not too deep, and the impression he left was very vague.I really got to know him at the meeting of the Public Security Bureau. The old director Qin Mo asked for leave due to illness, saying that he was recuperating in a certain place, and the work in the bureau was temporarily presided over by him, the second in command.At the meeting, he left Ma Qiming with the impression that this man had a high level of speech, could control the atmosphere of the venue, and had a thorough understanding of public security work.In particular, his mass base looks very good, and the relationship between top and bottom is very lively. The word "lively" has a certain meaning in Ma Qiming's heart, maybe because he can't get along well with his surroundings. Everywhere he goes, Ma Qiming pays special attention to those people who are particularly good at getting along with him. There was also envy.Really, with the growth of age and rich experience, Ma Qiming felt more and more that it is a disadvantage to have a bad relationship. No matter who you are, once you are isolated, your ending is doomed to failure, and the failure is even worse. . Accompanying Ma Qiming that day were the deputy mayor of the government, the deputy director of the Organization Department, and several deputy secretaries of the Political and Legal Committee. Wu Dagong respected these people very much, but there was an undisguised acquaintance in the respect.This is what anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance.The calmness and calmness of the host and the guest, as well as knowing eyes and undisguised smiles, are all showing off to others that their relationship is extraordinary.The people at the top are like this, and the inside of the Public Security Bureau is even more unusual. Otherwise, how can Ma Qiming say that he has a good foundation among the masses?In contrast, the taciturn Li Chunjiang was much inferior, lonely, a little sympathetic to him, the new supervisor. Perhaps, this is also a kind of sympathy. Wu Dagong came in with a smile, the secretary Xiaotian closed the door gently, and retreated outside with great interest.Ma Qiming got up, gave up his seat, and glanced casually at Wu Dagong.Wu Dagong was tall, a head taller than Ma Qiming, but he kept his figure very standard. He didn't gain weight, and he didn't see his leader's belly. It made people think that he had eaten in the army.Actually no.He also came from a major, graduated from Northwest University of Political Science and Law, and was said to be very active during his school days. "What's the matter?" Ma Qiming gently put his gaze up and asked warmly. Wu Dagong smiled, that smile was very air-conditioned.This term was also created by Ma Qiming, especially for those who would laugh at their bosses.What is the function of air conditioner?It is cool in summer and warm in winter, which always makes people comfortable.Machiming felt a little comfortable for a while. "It's nothing urgent," Wu Dagong said, "I just reported to Deputy Secretary Xie about the work plan for the next stage, and I'm here to ask you for instructions. The big training of the public security system is about to start, and I would like to ask you to give instructions on the spot. ..." Wu Dagong paused for a moment, changed his sitting position, and then continued, "The comprehensive renovation of the province's prison system has come to an end. It is reported that our city's experience is outstanding. Typical. Comrades from the five northwestern provinces may come to visit and learn Buddhist scriptures. We want to make preparations for this, but we haven’t got the specific plan yet. I would like to ask you for specific instructions.” After speaking, Wu Dagong took out his notebook and waited to make records. Ma Qiming smiled, he rarely heard such reports.Think carefully, but very knowledgeable.First, I reported to Deputy Secretary Xie about the next stage of work, just a report, without asking him to give instructions.The work is also the plan for the next stage, which is general and not specific.The specifics have all come to him, the big training, the momentum is huge, and it is also very appealing. Of course, the degree of attention is definitely not ordinary.Being a model, of course, is a matter of gold. Who doesn't yearn to be a model?A visit to learn from the scriptures can explain the problem even more.Ask him to give specific instructions for these tasks, the meaning is very clear. However, Ma Qiming concluded that these were not what Wu Dagong wanted to say today, and his purpose was very clear, which was the letter.That letter was what he wanted to express most, and it was also the most personal thing.But he didn't say a word.It's fine if I don't mention it, but Ma Qiming himself was confused by the letter.Thinking of this, he smiled again, and said gently and politely: "You have done all these tasks in advance. I just came here, and the situation is not yet fully grasped. You just need to carry on according to the original plan. What are the specific needs?" I came forward, please notify me in time, do you think this will work?" The smile on Wu Dagong's face froze, and the froze was so brief that it was hardly noticeable.He waited and waited, but he still didn't see that Ma Qiming wanted to talk about the letter, and he couldn't see the letter in his sight, so he got up and left politely. Ma Qiming's mood was destroyed by Wu Dagong in this way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was destroyed.He wanted to think about some things this afternoon, and he also wanted to have an overall idea of ​​his work.Now he had to deal with that letter. Ouyang Zilan is a well-known educational activist and philanthropist in the province. Her relationship with Ma Qiming can be described as unusual.As early as when he was in college, Ma Qiming was influenced by Ouyang Zilan.At that time, Ouyang Zilan was the dean of the School of Education of Northwestern University, and she also had many social titles.Her extensive social activities often require the participation of Ma Qiming, that is to say, Ma Qiming, who has outstanding academic performance and distinctive personality, has gained Ouyang Zilan's attention through repeated participation.After Ma Qiming graduated, he was able to be assigned to the provincial political and legal committee in one step, which had a lot to do with Ouyang Zilan's strong recommendation. It can be said that Ouyang Zilan made him what he is today.Not only that, but the marriage between him and Mei Han is also tied by Ouyang. Being able to give him his most beloved female disciple, Ma Qiming, as his wife shows how much Ouyang trusts him.But what is the relationship between Wu Dagong and Ouyang? How could he get a letter of recommendation from Ouyang? Thinking about it, Ma Qiming took out the letter and read it carefully.The general meaning of the letter is, Qiming, it is a good thing to know that you have arrived in Sanhe, and you must be good at grasping it.People should constantly challenge themselves, just as we constantly challenge poverty and ignorance.Will the Sanhe City Public Security Bureau be re-elected?If there is such a thing, can Da Gong be considered?Of course, this is purely my personal opinion and I dare not affect your work.Meizi is fine, she is still in Hong Kong, I will pass on your news. Ma Qiming read the letter several times in a row, and the letter was written very euphemistically. This was Ouyang Zilan's style, and he never imposed anything on others.However, how could Ma Qiming not consider her opinion?Not to mention being tactful, just a touch like a superficial touch can change Ma Qiming's decision. Machiming was really amazed.In any case, it shows how much effort Wu Dagong has put in to bring the relationship to this point.A person who can penetrate through the fog and grasp the vitals of another person is enough to prove that he is not simple.Ouyang Zilan is the key to Ma Qiming.However, Ma Qiming was still puzzled, why did some things reach other people's ears so quickly? There may have been a lot of noise in Sanhe City about the change of the team of the Public Security Bureau, but it was only a few days before this matter was handed over to Ma Qiming, and it was extremely confidential.It can be seen that Secretary Yuan Bo was stumped by this matter.Secretary Yuan Bo said worriedly: "The police, the procuratorate, and the law have several issues. I am most worried about the public security. Lao Qin proposed to resign a few years ago, saying that he would not do anything, and he refused to go to the CPPCC. He insisted on retiring. These It was really difficult for him in 2010. The old comrade, who is in poor health, can stick to this point, I really have to thank him. However, the Standing Committee members have different opinions on who should take over, and the debate has not stopped until now. But the team must We have to make adjustments, and we can't delay any longer." Secretary Yuan Bo stared at him suddenly when he said this, as if making a major decision.Ma Qiming was a little nervous. This was the first time he had talked with Secretary Yuan Bo, and it was about such a thing.Sure enough, Secretary Yuan Bo waved his hand habitually and said, "I'll simply leave this difficult problem to you, and make a decision based on your judgment. It must be fast and accurate!" This is a procedure that does not conform to the procedure. If there is something that cannot be settled in a group discussion, let Ma Qiming make the decision alone.It can be seen how difficult it is to adjust the team of the Public Security Bureau. It was unexpected that he would encounter such a difficult thing when he first arrived. Quick, sure!He himself was not fast yet, but others brought in reinforcements so quickly. Machiming sighed deeply. Originally, he could call Mei Han to ask about this matter.Ouyang Zilan is by no means a person who easily intercedes with others, especially this kind of principle issue.Why did she start talking about love to Wu Dagong as soon as he arrived in Sanhe?But he and Mei Han had already made three agreements, the husband and wife would not interfere with each other's work, and would not cause trouble for each other's work, which of course included participating in politics, discussing politics, or taking advantage of each other's work for convenience.Emotionally, they pursue intimacy, and the more intimacy the better, a husband and wife are called only if they are impenetrable.At work, it pays attention to the art of separation.Over the years, they are like two free birds, flying in their own sky, and no one has ever broken this rule. Machiming put the letter away and decided to forget it aside. Thinking of this, he called his secretary and thought about going around.As soon as the car drove out of the municipal party committee compound, he was attracted by the fiery street scene.Under the sunshine in May, the streets of Sanhe were buzzing with people, and it was extremely lively.Indeed, compared with the Sanhe I saw when I accompanied Deputy Secretary Tong seven years ago, the Sanhe in front of me is brand new, full of passion, full of fashion and modern rhythm.Of course, it is also unfamiliar.The nests of old houses in my memory are no longer there, and there are high-rise buildings and avant-garde communities everywhere.The change is amazing!Ma Qi let out a sigh and told the driver to keep turning like this. He wanted to take a closer look at what Sanhe City, where he was going to live and work, looked like. Tong Xiaoniu committed the murder under Ma Qiming's nose. At that time, Ma Qiming was walking around the Xintiandi free market with some leisure and admiration.After the car drove to Jiefang Road, Secretary Xiaotian pointed to the Xintiandi Free Market in front of him and said, "Secretary Ma, this is the old market in Sanhe City that was remodeled by attracting investment. It is now the second largest wholesale market in the province." Ma Qiming said, "Oh." With a sound, I suddenly had the urge to go down and turn around.He said to his secretary Xiaotian, "Go back by car first, I want to walk alone." Xiaotian is an introverted secretary who is good at his duties. There is a bit of awe in it.When Ma Qiming asked him to go back, he followed the driver without asking any further questions.Machiming walked onto the pedestrian street and walked through the bustling crowd, feeling surprisingly good.It's been a long time since I crossed the street like this.He really wanted to wander around the development zone by himself, but how could he have the time?Being entangled in all kinds of affairs all day long, and having little time to sleep, how can I have time to wander around?People need to walk alone, whether it is in the downtown or in the countryside, the feeling of walking alone is different, and this can be regarded as one of the great joys of life.Observe while walking, think while observing, and enjoy while thinking.Or just think about nothing, leave your footsteps to the flow of people, and walk without any destination. You will find that the world under your feet is completely different from the world you imagined, and even the sun has a real flavor.Walking like this, Ma Qiming suddenly felt like a philosopher.Thinking like a philosopher is a homework that Ma Qiming often asks himself to do.But for an official, thinking always has other colors.There is no way to do this, just like the sun that farmers hope is always related to crops. It does not mean that farmers like every day's sun.Ma Qiming feels that he has become a farmer again, but what he manages is not the crops, but the responsibility entrusted to him by the power.When he was in the development zone, what he thought was that the sky would be clear every day, so that the project could be completed ahead of schedule.When I was the secretary of the county party committee, I always cursed the weather. It didn’t rain when it was supposed to rain, and it was cloudy when it was time to dry grain.Now, Ma Qiming just wanted the sunshine in May to shine on the people on the street, on the bustling market, and on him, a strange visitor. Suddenly, Ma Qiming heard a loud noise, which came from not far away, and the sound was very fierce.The footsteps around him suddenly became chaotic, and they all ran towards that side.Surrounded by the flow of people, Ma Qiming also went there involuntarily.When he stopped and raised his neck, he saw someone making trouble among the crowd.A few stylishly dressed young men with vicious looks are smashing up a store without any scruples.The owner is a man in his fifties.He must have been frightened, he stared stupidly at the young man who was smashing his shop, his mouth was trembling and he dared not speak.Ma Qiming took a look, and suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but rushed up.A middle-aged woman next to him seemed to see his motives, grabbed him, and whispered: "Don't cause trouble, just watch if you want, and go if you don't want to." Ma Qiming was puzzled, and the middle-aged woman looked him up and down. down him. "You are from out of town, do you know who the young man in the middle is? Tong Xiaoniu." The middle-aged woman took a breath, and said to Ma Qiming frighteningly: "Even if he smashed the whole market, you wouldn't dare to speak! Seeing that you are a good person, let's go quickly." Hearing the name "Tong Xiaoniu", Ma Qiming suddenly thought of Su Zi kneeling on the road.He settled down, stood silently beside the middle-aged woman, and straightened his body to look. 童小牛一米七八，高大而壮实，加上他那身装扮，看上去就跟黑社会老大没啥两样。他指挥着几个很卖力的小伙子，喊：“砸，她要是不出来，老子一把火将这破店烧了。” 一听“烧”字，中年男人突然就给跪下了，跪着爬向童小牛：“求你放过我们吧，我们做点小本生意，经不住这么砸呀！” “季小菲呢，她小婊子要是不出来，老子今天没完！”童小牛一脚踹开想抱他的中年男人，目光张狂地盯住围观的人群。中年男人发出一声叫，很快爬起来又说：“她没在呀，真的没在，求你放过她吧。” 人群发出一阵阵骚动，但没有一个人敢上去制止。 马其鸣极力按捺住自己，看下去，千万别冲动，只管看下去。他这么命令着自己。 砸店声又响起来，店里的儿童玩具四下乱飞，塑料玩具粉碎的声音震得人耳膜痛。就在中年店主再次想抱住童小牛的当儿，一个女孩从人堆里挤进来，扑向店主。马其鸣听见一声“爸”，接着，他便看见女孩朝童小牛扑去。没等马其鸣看清，叫做季小菲的女孩已倒在地上。几乎是在眨眼间，那几个打手的动作快得惊人。季小菲来不及尖叫，她的脸已被踩在了童小牛脚下。黑亮的皮鞋下，是一张洁净而美丽的素脸。马其鸣感到心响了几响，就有尖锐的东西流出来，不是血，但比血腥。 “还敢管闲事不？”童小牛踩着季小菲，一边很享受地掏出香烟，等着打手给他点烟，一边，脚下狠狠地用劲儿。季小菲痛得发不出声。而旁边的中年男人磕头如捣蒜。 马其鸣实在看不下去了，他离开人群，拨打“110”。这时候他看见市场的保安集聚在不远处一块广告牌下，样子张惶地朝这边巴望。电话很快通了，马其鸣说市场有人行凶。对方问了声地址，马其鸣抬头看了看，说出一家店名。那边挂了，马其鸣刚要往外走，就有人堵住了他，一把抢过他的手机，摔了。“想找死是不？敢报警，老子废了你！” 马其鸣不知道夺他手机的人是哪儿冒出来的，刚要张口，就见五六个形迹可疑的人朝他走来。刚才在他身边的中年妇女看见这阵势，慌忙跑过来，一把拉起他，很生气地大声道：“跟你说多少遍了，这儿没你买的东西，看看，又白跑了是不？” 说着，冲那个摔掉他手机的男人笑笑，说：“三子呀，他是我外地来的亲戚，我这就带他走。” 中年妇女拉出他好远，才说：“叫你甭管闲事你还不听，幸亏我看见了，要不然……”中年妇女没再多说，叫他快走。马其鸣忽然问：“能告诉我你的名字吗？”中年妇女朝那边望了望，一把推开他：“叫你走你就走，他们要是看见，不会饶过你的。”这时候马其鸣也有点怕，要是真被他们修理一顿，怕又成了大新闻。他离开中年妇女，装作往外走，转了两个圈，又回到离童小牛不远的地儿。他想看看，“110”怎么收拾这场面？ 令马其鸣失望的是，“110”并没有赶到现场，警车倒是在市场外响了几声，跳下来的警察一听是童小牛打人，便转身跳上车走了。 马其鸣真是狼狈透顶，怎么回到住所的，连他自己也不清楚。一路上脑子里不停地冒着童小牛、童小牛。回到宾馆的一瞬，他才清醒过来。看见焦急地等在门口的小田，马其鸣才想起自己的手机没了。 秘书小田说：“季小菲原是省城法制报驻三河记者站的'见习'记者。三个月前季小菲写过一篇稿子，是替死去的陶实鸣冤。稿子没发出来，不知怎么却落在了童小牛手上。这下季小菲的日子糟了，她很快失去了工作，就连工都打不上，只能窝在店里帮父亲卖玩具。谁知童小牛不肯罢休，非要季小菲给他赔礼认错才肯饶过。” “怎么赔？”马其鸣忍不住问。 “还能怎么赔！”秘书小田吭了好长一阵，才愤愤说：“童小牛硬要季小菲陪他上床，说只有上了床才表明季小菲是真心悔过。” Snapped!马其鸣手里的笔断了。他咬住牙齿，问：“这个童小牛到底是什么人？” “童百山的儿子。” “童百山？” 马其鸣的脑子里腾地冒出一个人，四方脸，高个头，十足的企业家派头。那天工商联给马其鸣接风，坐陪的就有副会长童百山。听工商联徐会长讲，童百山是三河市民营企业的杰出代表，企业资产已达两个亿，每年上交税金三千多万，是三河市的利税大户。他的百山集团已成为三河市的龙头骨干企业，行业跨及房地产、造纸、酿酒、包装、酒店服务等十多个领域。三河市最大的五星级酒楼三河大饭店就是他旗下的产业。 百山集团也是三河最大的再就业基地，前后已安排一千多名下岗职工再就业，替政府解了不少忧。矮胖的徐会长特意强调道。 联想到这些，马其鸣忽然就觉得自己踩到了一个雷区，他轻轻“哦”了一声，像是躲开什么似地跟小田说：“我累了，想早点休息，你先回去吧。” 小田嘴张了几张，还是啥也没说，告辞了。 夜幕沉沉，喧嚣了一天的三河市脱下白日的盛装，掀开了它的另一面。靠近三河大饭店的金海岸音乐城里，童小牛正搂着一个年轻性感的俄罗斯小姐，放肆地笑着。小姐是老板特意从中俄边界招过来的，一共有三位，个个爆乳猛挺，性感的嘴唇仿佛两团红火焰，健壮的双腿在迷幻的灯光下发出催命的光芒。童小牛一手放在小姐欲遮更露的爆乳上，另一只，摸着另一位小姐性感的大腿。阿黑在喝啤酒，这家伙永远只爱酒，对酒的兴趣远远甚过女人。他灌下一大桶鲜啤后，跟童小牛说：“老大，那个叫苏紫的，听说还在告状。” “告他妈个告，她不是想在高速路上堵住马政法吗？咋个，马政法理她了吗？”童小牛嘿嘿笑了声，美美地掐了那小姐大腿一把。小姐夸张地叫了一声，便倒在他怀里。 “可是，她后面有姓李的啊，我怕……” “肏，姓李的咋了，他老婆快死了，还有闲心去管苏紫那娘们？再说了，想管他只管去管，我就不信他有几个胆。”说着，他的手探向第三位小姐的下面。 “也是，他再要不学乖，老子把朵朵捏死！”阿黑说着又灌下一大杯鲜啤。 包房另一侧，幽暗的灯光下，一个男人始终不说话。童小牛跟阿黑说这些的时候，他双手拖着下颔，目光忧郁地盯住墙壁。也不喝酒，也不唱歌，对送给他的小姐也不感兴趣。 童小牛问阿黑：“独狼这家伙，又咋了？” 阿黑说：“甭理他，他是个神经病。” “嘿嘿，神经病。他妈的，这世界上哪个不是神经病？” 正说着，老板匆匆走进来，对着童小牛耳语了些什么。童小牛刚要打发开小姐，就听包房门“哐”一声，童百山扑进来，指住童小牛鼻子：“把他给我带走！” 两个手下老鹰提小鸡似地一把提起童小牛。童小牛刚想争辩，童百山一个嘴巴扇过去，边上的小姐“妈呀”一声吓得跑开了。 阿黑醉酗酗地站起来，冲童百山说：“老板，不关童哥的事。”话还没说完，阿黑也挨了一巴掌，酒立刻醒了，捂着脸滚了出去。 坐在幽暗处的独狼一动未动，目光穿透包房迷暗的光线，搁在童百山的脸上。童百山狠狠地剜了他一眼，转身走了。 童小牛被带到三河大饭店，在童百山临时休息的那套豪华套房里，早有人等在里边。童小牛一进门，便看见市场路派出所的安所长。他鼻子一哼，不屑地瞪了姓安的一眼。安所长忙起身，冲他点点头。 “你是不是把老季的店砸了？”童百山恶煞一般问。 童小牛支吾着，不答。童百山抡起胳膊，又要扇。安所长忙拦挡说：“童总你别生气，我们也只是前来问问。” 问问？童百山气得一屁股坐下。片刻，他又站起来，指住童小牛骂：“老季是谁，他跟你老子是一个巷子里长大的啊！我跟你说了多少遍，那件事儿过
