Chapter 187 Chapter 187

Zhang Yuansheng sorted out his thoughts and adjusted his emotions. He had been with Zhu Ziqiang for so long, so he didn't dare to say he knew him very well, but Zhu Dashi knew a little about his temperament. After a pause, Zhu Ziqiang was expressionless, and Zhang Yuansheng continued: "This time I received 20,000 yuan, a pearl necklace, two platinum earrings, a high-end mobile phone, and 6,000 yuan worth of money." Yuan cash coupons, these things were given by four people, Li Dingguo, deputy head of the Qugao District Government, Zhang Ming, director of the Gongxun County Family Planning Commission, Yuan Delin, director of the Dajiang County Party Committee Office, and Ma Huan, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Ethnic and Religious Affairs. They sent Things want to inquire about the news, if it is convenient for me, please let me know in advance. Brother Qiang, I was wrong. This is my first love, I am reluctant to give up, I will hand in the things tomorrow, and I can deal with it as I want. "

Zhu Ziqiang raised his eyebrows with displeasure, and said with a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "I don't want to interfere with your love life, since you call me Brother Qiang, then I will tell you the truth, your precious girlfriend , she is well-known in Qugao official circles. Let me tell you about her history. Before I met you, she fell in love with a gangster in Qugao, had three abortions, and later had an affair with the director of tourism, and the office of the United Front Work Department. The director has an ambiguous relationship, until yesterday someone quietly told me that she had a room with a Chunjiang boss at the Qugao Hotel. Is this your first love?"

Zhang Yuansheng closed his eyes, his face was full of pain, the tears in the corners of his eyes were mixed with anger, and he murmured, "Really? Is all this true?" Zhu Ziqiang shook his head, he couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "I have always taken you by my side since you graduated from university, because you and I have so many similarities, we have also experienced poverty, and we have also fought against fate unyieldingly. , Yuansheng, you have never been in a relationship, you can’t tell the truth from the truth between a man and a woman, especially between the sexes, you are too tender, she deceives you like a child, she knows how to play Time. Well, focus on work, this is the best way at present, work crazily, study crazily, time will heal your wounds."

Zhang Yuansheng's face turned pale, Zhu Ziqiang shook his head again, and said to Luo Yong, "Go to Xiangye Restaurant." A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yong's mouth, he turned the steering wheel briskly, and drove straight to Xiangye Restaurant. "Open a private room, three bottles of Wuliangye, and order food and drinks at will." After Zhu Ziqiang finished ordering the waiter, he stretched out his hand to pat the distraught Zhang Yuansheng.The latter stood up abruptly and said, "No, I want to ask her face to face!" Zhu Ziqiang looked at him coldly and said, "Aren't you reconciled? Do you really want to do this?"

Zhang Yuansheng nodded viciously, the usually frail secretary had red eyes and the muscles on his face were twitching non-stop, Zhu Ziqiang made two phone calls and said to Zhang Yuansheng: "Luo Yong is waiting for you below, he will take you there. I'll wait for you here." Zhang Yuansheng turned around and left. Zhu Ziqiang sighed sadly, Zhang Yuansheng is good at everything, but he is like a blank sheet of paper in terms of emotional experience, and he meets a woman who has been in love for a long time. It is not easy for a pure and dedicated person to look back, and the emotional burden is by no means the end. Loving someone can be exchanged with one's life. The things he has received recently can be seen, how much he cares about this love.

Luo Yong parked the car at Qugao Hotel, greeted the main station, and took Zhang Yuansheng to the elevator. Luo Yong didn't like to talk, and Zhang Yuansheng couldn't speak at the moment. No matter how stupid he was, he understood what was about to happen, but There was still a trace of luck in his heart.For someone like him, seeing is believing, but what about the consequences? In room 818, Luo Yong lifted his foot and jumped open the door. The two worms were writhing. The sudden change made their limbs freeze at the same time. It was summer, and there was nothing covering their bodies.Time seemed to freeze suddenly, the two people on the bed were horrified, and stared blankly at the two people at the door, especially the woman.

Luo Yong didn't say a word, Zhang Yuansheng was trembling all over his body, his face was blue and white, he wanted to talk, scold, yell, want to kill, but all the cells in his body seemed to be dead, and there was a cooing sound in his throat, two lines The tears flowed for a long time, the man did not flick his tears lightly, but he did not reach the sad place... Luo Yong hugged Zhang Yuansheng by the waist and strode away. Zhang Wusheng erupted with astonishing strength. The muscles all over his body were like jumping bullets. Zhang Yuansheng's face was hidden in the hollow of his shoulder.

Zhu Ziqiang said to Luo Yong: "Wake him up." For Zhang Yuansheng, everything he experienced before seemed like the end of the world, as if a century had passed, but the whole world had been destroyed, and he would rather be in a coma forever, die forever, and never have to open his eyes again. Sitting opposite Zhu Ziqiang, Zhang Yuansheng lay on the table in tears like rain, crying like a wounded wolf howling. The voice revealed helplessness, grief, and endless resentment. The sweet memories of the past are now like a With sharp knives, his heart was cut into pieces like fallen leaves, and then burned into ashes, which drifted around with the sound of crying.

Zhu Ziqiang looked at Zhang Yuansheng quietly, thinking that if he wants to grow into a man, this is an ordeal that must be experienced in life. A man has to stand up again on his own. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhang Yuansheng. Zhang Yuansheng drank it in one gulp. Zhu Ziqiang said softly: "The wine turns into tears of lovesickness in the heart of sorrow. Yuansheng, without the pain of breaking the cocoon, how can there be the beauty of turning into a butterfly? Be strong, you are a man, there is no grass in the end of the world, why bother to love a single flower, And it’s still a flower.”

Zhang Yuansheng laughed crazily at first, but the tears were still like a torrent breaking the embankment, laughing and weeping, and shouted hysterically: "Why? Why do you want to do this? Why? What is it for?" Zhu Ziqiang helped him fill up the wine again, without persuading him, he raised his glass, took a big sip, breathed out and said: "Everyone wears several masks, life is like a play, take off the mask, who else but the mirror Dare to show your true face? This relationship is full of deception, and you have also been happy, even if you fall in love with just a face, it is the first time in your life that you have experienced what it means to love and be loved."

Zhang Yuansheng asked with tears in his eyes: "Brother, is there no sincerity, kindness and beauty in this world?" Zhu Ziqiang shook his head and said softly: "Of course! If you look with your heart, you will always find that if you only look for it with your eyes, you may never get it in your life. But you must first learn to protect yourself, because your work is different from many people's. Similarly, sometimes you have to prepare several different faces, if you don’t, you will only live in pain and confusion. But no matter what mask you put on, you must not abandon your beliefs and ideals!” Zhang Yuansheng raised his head, drank the fourth glass of wine, was it pain?or fast?At this moment, Zhang Yuansheng was drunk, but there was still blood seeping deep in his heart.He didn't remember how he got back. When he opened his eyes the next day, he was in his dormitory. He had already taken off his clothes, and there was a plastic basin in front of the bed. He vaguely remembered that he had been crying last night. Before yesterday, everything in this room made him feel happy, but today all the happiness turned into pain, her hair clips, her cosmetics, her pajamas, her slippers, her mirror, her underwear... ...and toothbrushes and mugs placed together. In the morning, he was still greeted by continuous pain. He gritted his teeth, walked into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and rushed vigorously, trying to wash away all his troubles, shaved, changed his clothes, and faced the mirror. The person inside was pale and his eyes were red and swollen. , two long eyebrows, a high nose, a wide forehead, and dull eyes. There was a knock on the door, Zhang Yuansheng walked over, opened the door, it was her!is her?The two panicked for a moment, but Zhang Yuansheng calmed down quickly. He didn't even believe it himself. How could he be so calm all of a sudden? "Come in. Don't you have a key?" Her face was blue, and her expression was extremely complicated. She was terrified, sad, and even a little ashamed, "I... I'll collect things." Zhang Yuansheng nodded, as if seeing an ordinary acquaintance: "Then you clean up, I'm going to work first... put the key in under the door when you leave." After lifting the briefcase, the pain of childbirth has passed?There was a bitter smile on the corner of Zhang Yuansheng's mouth, she turned her body and rubbed her shoulders, she said: "Yuansheng... I'm sorry! Can you still forgive me?" Tears kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes as he spoke, Zhang Yuansheng stopped in his tracks: " Maybe... I'm not qualified to forgive you, because I can't even forgive myself. Take care and wish you happiness!" She turned around and hugged Yuansheng like crazy, tears poured out crazily, and soon soaked Zhang Yuansheng's back: "I was wrong... If I don't go, he will tell you the matter... Yuansheng, I am really I love you so much, don't leave me, okay?" The blood on Zhang Yuansheng's lips faded, his eyes were bright, and there was a kind of crystal confusion: "Do you know? Something has broken in my heart." She let go, squatted down, and cried uncontrollably. Zhang Yuansheng opened the door with firm steps, "Yuansheng! I love you! I love you forever and ever!" Walking on the street, Zhang Yuansheng felt so lonely for the second time in his life. The first time was when his parents died and he became an orphan. This time he was played by love. The bustling streets in the past made Zhang Yuansheng feel like a fish, without thinking, No emotion, no soul, habitual breathing, habitual swimming. Zhu Ziqiang called and asked him not to hand over the things.Zhang Yuansheng felt that he was very useless. If people all over the world abandoned him, there would be another Zhu Ziqiang who cared about him like a brother.Zhang Yuansheng could only thank him silently in his heart. "Mayor Zhu, I want to go down to work on a second job." Zhang Yuansheng is very peaceful. He is peaceful, but not peaceful. Those who have struggled may be freshmen. Zhu Ziqiang was very satisfied, he saw the right person, he was a man, "Go to meritorious service and become the deputy secretary, is there any problem?" Zhang Yuansheng looked at Zhu Ziqiang puzzled: "Yesterday I heard what you said to Deputy Mayor Chen." Zhu Ziqiang waved his hand and said, "Eat people's mouth is soft, but people's hands are short. It's not easy to get along with people when you become the deputy county magistrate. Anyway, it's a temporary job. Go to the county committee to get acquainted. Are you sure there is no problem?" Zhang Yuansheng said decisively: "There is absolutely no problem... She came to pack things this morning, and I have already had a showdown with her. It is not my Zhang Yuansheng's character to keep breaking up." Zhu Ziqiang scolded with a smile: "Crap, who cried to death yesterday? If it wasn't for Luo Yong, you could tear people apart! It's good to leave for a while, so as not to get hurt. Remember, you are by my side, Zhu Ziqiang. People! If you smear my face from below, don't blame me for being unkind!" Zhang Yuansheng said: "Mayor Zhu, please rest assured! From now on, Zhang Yuansheng will never be stupid again." Zhu Ziqiang said: "Well, the past is all about life experience, try to let go, put your mind on work, and exercise hard. You are my right-hand man. Also, after you go to meritorious service, the first thing is to go to the countryside , we must find out the situation clearly, and don't lightly interfere with the personnel management of the county-level organs. The water there is too deep, so it's best to keep silent, only suggest, not make decisions. Put your mind on it and work hard!" Zhang Yuansheng nodded while listening, saying that he was on a second job, but he was actually promoted by half a grade. This is Zhu Ziqiang's care for him. If it were someone else, even if he had the ability, he would have to stay honestly for a few years. Besides, he is 27 years old this year, deputy director , in a mountainous city like Qugao, the ancestral graves are already smoking. "Mayor, who will take over after I leave?" Zhang Yuansheng asked the last question.I have learned a lot from Zhu Ziqiang in the past few years, and he is the only one who understands Zhu Ziqiang's rules of action. Is it acceptable to change people suddenly? Zhu Ziqiang said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. You forgot what my background is? Hehe, no matter how stupid a person is, he can become a master in my hands. The new secretary will report in the afternoon and hand over the matter at hand. You go down first , Take a good rest these few days and wait for the notice." Seeing Zhang Yuansheng go out, Zhu Ziqiang shook his head, it was a mule or a horse to go out for a walk, let him do meritorious service for three years, if he performed well, he would be promoted, if not, he would just come back. Just a few minutes after Zhang Yuansheng left, Fu Lei rushed in: "Ziqiang, take a look." He handed a document to Zhu Ziqiang with a livid face: "These bastards can really make trouble!" Zhu Ziqiang took it over and took a look. Regarding the investigation of the fake diplomas of the cadres who were competing for employment, Zhu Ziqiang roughly scanned it, shrugged and smiled, "What's the use of you giving it to me? Just throw it to Lao Jin and they will deal with it." Fu Lei shook his head and said, "Look at the list at the back!" Zhu Ziqiang opened it and saw that the first person in the queue was Liu Xinhua, the deputy director of Qugao Cigarette Factory. Zhu Ziqiang frowned: "He also fakes diplomas? What does he want to do? Make trouble?" Fu Lei gritted his teeth angrily: "Liu Xinhua has always been Lao Chen's chosen negotiator, what a disgrace!"
