Chapter 27 Twenty-seven

When Liao Hongyu returned home, he already felt very tired.This state often occurs recently.A few years ago, it was almost unimaginable.She has never known what it means to be tired, and she is always full of energy from morning till night. When a 40-year-old stands next to her and compares her, he will feel "really old".But recently, it’s really not working. I often want to sit down, put a cushion on the back of my waist, drink hot tea, and close my eyes for a while... I don’t bother to go into the kitchen.My daughter always asks, Mom, what's wrong with you?She never answers.These two days, she felt even more tired.She realized that Feng Xianglong's asking her to go to Oak Bay was actually a kind of "rejection" in disguise.She was also anxious about the future of the Oak Bay base.For fifty million items, Feng Xianglong only sold five million.If it is true, there must be something famous here!Where is the hall of fame?Do you take care of this matter, or don't you?The workers at the base all said this: "Director Liao, I heard that you were the most able to speak for the workers when you were in Donggang. You can't ignore us now!" Can you ignore it?But, if you want to manage it, how can you manage it?Wait, wait... Tired!Completely exhausted... In the kitchen, Liao Hongyu wearing an apron was cutting vegetables. After thinking about it, the knife slowly stopped and stood there in a daze. It was her daughter's scream that woke her up: "Mom, when will the meal be ready? People are starving to death!"

During dinner, his daughter Liao Lili asked: "Is that Feng Xianglong sick? He has already sold Oak Bay to a Hong Kong businessman, and he wants to put you there! Isn't this clearly stinking you!" Liao Hongyu pointed to her daughter's rice bowl with chopsticks : "Eat your meal." She didn't want to think about it anymore. But then there was a knock on the door.Liao Hongyu hurriedly said to Liao Lili: "Go and open the door. If it's the same group of people in the afternoon, tell them that I'm out." In the afternoon, a group of workers from the base had already come, and they came to ask her to report to the superiors for them. making a complaint.She didn't comment.They said: "I knew it would only be sold for 5 million yuan, and our employees thought of a way to buy it. The fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields. Why do Hong Kong people take this cheap?" They also told Liao Hongyu that the so-called Hong Kong Shangbo Jiming is a "fake Hong Kong businessman" at all. He just came from the mainland a few years ago. This guy has no money at all. I heard that he only lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Hong Kong.

Seeing that her mother did not want to see the workers at the base again, Liao Lili said, "You don't want to use the power of this group of people to play a game with Feng?" Liao Hongyu asked, "What do you mean by playing a game?" Liao Lili laughed He said: "He makes you feel bad, so you make him feel bad too!" Liao Hongyu shook his head: "Don't get angry with him... I understand that it's useless..." Liao Lili resorted to aggressive methods : "You used to say that you have grown up so much that you can never stand anyone's anger. What's the matter now?" Liao Hongyu waved his hand: "Stop talking, go and have a look outside the door."

It was Fang Yuzhu and her young female companions who knocked on the door.Liao Lili said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my mother is not here..." Fang Yuzhu smiled and said: "Your mother is here, we know." Liao Lili insisted: "She is not here." Fang Yuzhu smiled: "If she is really not here, you will Let us in. We know she doesn't want to see us." Liao Lili's face turned red slightly: "It's not that she doesn't want to see you, she has already caused enough troubles, please don't bother her anymore!" At this time, Liao Hongyu was sitting in the room blankly, listening to the conversation outside the door.

"We have no one else to look for..." the women workers said bitterly.Liao Lili said: "China is so big and there are so many officials, how can there be no one to find?" The female workers said: "But your mother is our leader in Oak Bay!" Liao Lili said: "She doesn't want to be this leader anymore Don’t mention this matter to her anymore!” The female workers said: “People say that your mother is very upright. At that time in Donggang, she was especially able to uphold justice and speak for the workers. It was your mother who first wrote a letter to expose the employees' stocks to the top... Now this fake Hong Kong businessman is reselling the land of our base, and he has no heart to operate it. He has already spoken out, and he wants to fire All our current employees...we all hope that your mother can stand up again..." Liao Lili was anxious: "Stand up again? Sisters, she has already stood up once, and she has fallen so far This is the end, you still want her to stand up? You still let her live? She is also a woman, she is also a mother, and she also hopes to live peacefully. I beg you..." Said Sobbing, couldn't help sobbing, hurriedly turned around, re-entered the room, and closed the door at once.

Fang Nanzhu and the others were stunned.The corridor became very quiet, and Liao Lili's soft sobs could still be heard through the door panel.Liao Hongyu, who was sitting blankly in the living room, was also full of tears at this time.Fang Yuzhu and the others stood for a while, but seeing that there was no movement in the room, they had to leave in dismay. For a long time, Liao Hongyu sat blankly on the sofa, thinking over and over what the base workers and cadres had said to her: "...he used the title of a Hong Kong businessman to cheat the trust of some leaders. The bank makes loans to buy our land at a low price. The land is bought, and then sold to some of our units at a high price. In recent years, he has been playing this empty-handed white-wolf trick, completely using meat from the mainland Feed his own dog, feed his own dog, and then eat meat from the mainland, and then feed more dogs to eat more meat... He didn't take a penny from Hong Kong to the mainland, and it took less than a few years , but became a billionaire with hundreds of millions of assets. This is all our hard-earned money!" Liao Hongzi's heart beat violently again.She felt that she was out of breath, stood up suddenly, and tremblingly went to put on her coat. "Where are you going now? It's too late!" Liao Lili immediately rushed out of her room to stop her.

Liao Hongyu only said: "I'll go out for a walk to get some air..." Liao Lili hurried to get her coat and said, "I'll accompany you." "Let's not care about our business any more. We don't care about anything. Okay?" Liao Lili said, holding her mother's arm tightly.Liao Hongyu nodded silently in the dark. "In this world, as long as there are you and me, that's enough..." Liao Lili said while holding her mother tighter. Liao Hongyu embraced her daughter very touched, and gently stroked her daughter's shoulders. The mother and daughter walked down the stairs hugging each other.As soon as he reached the bottom floor, a group of black figures suddenly "emerged" from the dark doorway.Liao Lili heard that the person who was exposed hired a "killer" to murder the whistleblower, so she hurriedly protected her mother behind her, and shouted: "What do you want to do?" As she said, she reached out to the wall" "He turned on the light in the doorway.Although the light was dim, it was enough to make it clear that this group of people was Fang Yuzhu and her girlfriend. "You haven't left yet?" Liao Hongyu was surprised.The temperature is more than minus 20 degrees, in this draughty building door, I stood in the cold for two or three hours, still not frozen?Fang Yuzhu and her companions were obviously frozen to death.Liao Hongyu held Fang Yuzhu distressedly and walked upstairs: "How can you do this? Silly children, I will freeze you to death! Go upstairs! Go upstairs!" After returning to Liao's house, after a while, Liao Hongyu and Liao Lili brought a A large pot of steaming noodles in tomato vegetable soup, a stack of bowls and chopsticks and a large plate of fried steamed buns.

"Director Liao, can you listen to me?" Fang Yuzhu asked hesitantly. "Don't talk anymore, don't talk anymore, just drink two mouthfuls of hot noodle soup." Liao Hongyu immediately interrupted Fang Yuzhu's words.Yes, just a few minutes ago, she had already made a decision: she, Liao Hongyu, must take care of this matter.It's not Liao Hongyu who doesn't care about this matter! late at night.Liao Hongyu and his daughter sent the group of female workers away, and when they returned to the house, Liao Hongyu told her that she was going out to do some errands.Liao Lili was surprised: "What else are you going to do?" Liao Hongyu said: "I don't do anything." Liao Lili said: "Mom, we agreed to stop meddling in my own business." Liao Hongyu said: "I just went to tell them Said..." Liao Lili said: "Go and talk about it, aren't you still in charge? Why haven't you come to your senses? What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with you? Who will show your affection and say good things about you?" Liao Hongyu said: "I really don't want to take care of it anymore. But... have you seen those poor girls? They have been frozen in the doorway for several hours. Are they willing to suffer this? Why? They can't help it!" No one is going to meddle in this business, what are they going to do?"

"they……" "Yes, they have their parents, their husbands, their families, and their own world. Just now you said that in this world, as long as you and me are enough. I really want to In this way, hiding in her own little world, my wife can live peacefully and happily... But... this world will never be just you and me... This is never possible, never possible... Understand?My silly girl! " When Liao Hongyu arrived at the headquarters of Jiutian Group, all the leaders had already left work. "What time is it, you still come here to look for Mr. Feng?" The night shift attendant said lazily holding a colorful street stall magazine. "Where can I find him?" Liao Hongyu was still unwilling.The attendant on duty put down the magazine, rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "That's not good. There may be him anywhere, but not necessarily anywhere." Liao Hongyu walked out of the gate of the Jiutian Group headquarters in a daze, aimlessly walking on the street walked slowly.Calm down and think about it, maybe it's a good thing not to see Feng Xianglong today.If I saw it, what would you say?She didn't have any evidence in her hand to prove that he had indeed sold the base as a state-owned asset cheaply to that fake Hong Kong businessman through a black box operation, and she got money from it.But where to assemble such evidence?she asked herself.At this time, a blue and white procuratorate bus drove past Liao Hongyu rapidly.Sitting in the car happened to be Mo Hongyu's ex-husband, Jiang Xingfeng, deputy chief prosecutor of a district procuratorate in the city.Jiang Xingfeng didn't see Liao Hongyu, but a clerk who was driving saw it at a glance, and hurriedly said to Jiang Xingfeng: "Jiang Jian, isn't that your wife?" While speaking, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down.The people in the car, including Jiang Xingfeng himself, all looked out of the car window in unison.Liao Hongyu also found that a car from the procuratorate suddenly slowed down after passing by him, and finally stopped not far in front.She looked at the sign on the car and knew that it was the car of the procuratorate where her ex-husband was, so she hurriedly walked to the small alley beside her.

The clerk who was driving proposed to pick up Liao Hongyu in the car.Jiang Xingfeng saw Liao Hongyu walking into the small alley, and knew that she was avoiding him, so he said to the clerk, "Forget it, forget it..." The car that had already retreated to the entrance of the small alley, walked two or three meters, stopped again. down. Liao Hongyu was in the dark of the small alley, clinging to the old brick wall, waiting for the car to drive away.After a while, the sound of the motor of the car became farther and farther away.She breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not move, still standing in the dark under the eaves.At this time, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps from the depths of the alley.Liao Hongyu looked up and saw two young men dressed as migrant workers walking quickly towards this side with an old travel bag in their hands.The two suspicious-looking young men didn't expect to meet someone again at this time, so they were taken aback for a moment.

But they immediately realized that what they met was only a weak woman and she was alone, so their expressions immediately relaxed.One of them handed over the bag in his hand to his accomplice and walked slowly towards Liao Hongyu.Liao Hongyu's heart jumped into his throat.But she quickly forced herself to calm down, raised her head boldly, raised her eyebrows, and stared at the guy with wide eyes.The guy was startled, stopped, and looked suspiciously at the woman in front of him.Liao Hongyu continued to stare at him. After a stalemate for a while, the guy turned around and, together with his companions, hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the alley.Liao Hongyu held his breath, his eyes still wide open, and watched them run away for a long time without daring to move. When the sound of footsteps disappeared completely, he let out a long breath, ran out of the alley, and stopped a taxi , ran to home.The taxi quickly drove to the gate of the compound where the Liao family was located.Liao Hongyu paid the fare and ran upstairs quickly, as if someone was chasing her behind her.After entering his living room, Liao Hongyu was still panting heavily.After resting for a while, he calmed down a little, and then walked into his daughter's room. Liao Lili lay on the bed with her clothes on, her eyes closed, but she ignored her mother. "Hey, take off your clothes and sleep if you want to sleep, don't catch a cold." She gently pushed her daughter.Liao Lili turned around, turned her face to the wall, and still ignored her. Liao Hongyu threw a can of Coke: "Drink something cold to quench the fire." Liao Lili turned over and sat up, and shouted: "During the twelfth lunar month, in the middle of the night, let people drink such a cold drink, what if I'm afraid I won't have a stomachache? If my stomach hurts, who should I go to? Don't let people fall in love early, dear." Dad let you go away again." Liao Hongyu was taken aback.The last thing she wanted was for her daughter to take this wound: "Who drove your dad away? Why do you keep protecting him?" Liao Lili realized that she had gone too far, so she hurriedly said, "Stop, stop..." Liao Hongyu turned around angrily and went to the living room.After a while, Liao Lili came to her side lazily and called out: "Mom!" Liao Hongyu pushed her away angrily: "Don't talk to me, go find your dad!" Liao Lili said with a smile: "Ouch!" , Dad just picks up his mouth when he picks up his job, and dangles in front of people without washing his feet for three days, how can it be tolerated!" Liao Hongyu still had a straight face: "Don't tell me nice things, I see you I like him so much!" Liao Lili leaned closer and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about our business. Mom..." Liao Hongyu insisted on talking thoroughly: " Tell me the truth, at that time me and your dad, who drove who?" Liao Lili said helplessly, "He kicked you out, and you kicked him out." Liao Hongyu became even more angry: "There is no principle! Xiao Slippery!" Liao Lili jumped up: "Still telling me about principles? You two will suffer from this principle. You two should talk less about principles, and I won't be without a father, and you won't be without a husband either. , my dad will never leave me and you..." "I didn't ask your dad any more at that time..." Liao Lili shouted: "Okay, okay. Can you stop talking about the sad things that happened eight hundred years ago? He has now regarded Principle as his wife, and you have also regarded Principle as your husband. Are you two not enough? What do you want? Or, kick me out, change the principle and come back to be your daughter, a complete revolution?!" As he spoke, his eyes were red, and his voice began to sob. Liao Hongyu fell silent.Liao Lili turned her head and ran into her room, and with a flick of her hand, the door slammed shut with a bang.Liao Hongyu smiled wryly, sat silently for a while, walked to the door of her daughter's room, hesitated for a moment, and knocked lightly on the door. No answer inside.Liao Hongyu gently pushed the door and went in.Liao Lili was lying on the bed sobbing softly.Liao Hongyu sat silently on the edge of the bed for a while, and then went to pick up her daughter, two lines of hot tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably.After a long time, Liao Hongyu stopped crying, and Liao Lili stopped crying. "Don't be angry with me..." the daughter said softly.Liao Hongyu smiled bitterly, brought a towel and wiped away her daughter's tears. "Let's not talk about that stuff again, okay?" Liao Hongyu said. Liao Lili nodded silently. After a while, Liao Lili suddenly remembered something: "Look, I almost forgot about such an important event. Someone called you from Oak Bay just now. They said that people from all bases will prepare tomorrow Go to the city hall to petition..." Liao Hongyu was surprised: "Go to the city hall to petition? What time?" "They said that those who live in Oak Bay gather in the base yard at 8 o'clock. Those who live in the city gather directly in front of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Monument in May Fourth Square at 9:30. They originally wanted to wait for you to come back and discuss it with you Yes. They wanted you to come with them tomorrow too. I told them not to wait, and I said you wouldn't go tomorrow, and there was no need to discuss it with you. Because you don't intend to stay in Oak Bay any longer... " "How can you tell them that?" Liao Lili was taken aback for a moment: "Are you really planning to continue working there? Are you planning to go public with them to petition the government?" Liao Hongyu gave Liao Lili a hard look, and hurriedly took out an address book from his purse, and rummaged through to find what he was looking for. After entering the phone number, immediately pick up the phone and start dialing.Liao Lili pressed the phone and said, "Mom, I beg you! Do you really think of yourself as the director of the base? You really didn't realize that those people transferred you from Donggang to Jiutian Group, and Jiutian Group Putting you in Oak Bay, layer by layer, is completely unloading. They hate you, they don't like you, and they are pushing you out. They can't stand your too serious, gunpowder temper that explodes at the first touch. Dad was still saying a few days ago, if you don't change your temper, one day, our family's future will be ruined by you..." Liao Hongyu hurriedly asked: "Are you looking for your father behind my back again?" Liao Lili simply replied: "Yes." Liao Hongyu was heartbroken: "Lily, you..." Liao Lili said: "He is my father! Why can't I go and talk to him?" Liao Hongyu was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while: "Okay...okay...you go to...you...you go to..." Liao Lili said: "I go to him because I really have nothing to do. I don't want to see you go on like this. After all, I want to spend my whole life with you, but I don't know what to do. To be honest, I... I... I'm also afraid of you... yes Sometimes, I can't stand your temper...Why do you have to take care of so many things? Why do you have to get along with so many people, so that so many people can't tolerate you? Why can't you put your heart on yourself? Life? If you look at our home, you can say that there is nothing you want. This 18-inch color TV was only bought last year. But speaking of it, you are still a department-level cadre! You know what Dad was talking to me the day before yesterday Is it? He said he really didn't want to leave you, but if you could listen to him..." Liao Hongyu couldn't hold back her tears: "Stop talking!" "Mom!" Liao Hongyu sternly said, "Get out!" "Mom..." Liao Hongyu pushed her daughter out of the room with a straight face, and then closed the door forcefully.No matter how much her daughter knocked on the door, she ignored her, just stood motionless, with her back against the door frame, her eyes closed, sobbing silently... sobbing...
