Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One
Da Wenbin was sitting in the office, talking on the phone with Director Gao: "...our approval document for mutual shareholding with Tianjin will be delivered to you tomorrow. Look, besides you, who else needs me?" Can we communicate in advance?"
"Well, I don't think it's a big problem. Mutual shareholding between state-owned enterprises is allowed, and the central government has a clear policy on this." From Director Gao's steady voice, Da Wenbin feels that he is still very sure, " Tomorrow, I will take care of the comrades below and ask him to sign his opinion quickly and report to me. If I read it and it’s all right, I can submit it to Minister Lin soon.”
"With your strong support, I feel relieved, thank you in advance." Da Wenbin leaned back in the soft and heavy chair, seemingly heaving a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, why are we being polite? This is called supporting each other." Director Gao said with a hearty smile.
While talking, Da Wenbin's cell phone rang, he picked it up and looked, hey, it's so fresh, it turned out to be Shang Xiaoxi, who claims to be a professional dinner companion at night.Da Wenbin pressed the button casually, then finished a few words with Director Gao, put down the phone, and immediately called Shang Xiaoxi back with his mobile phone.
"Brother Bin, are you busy? Is it disturbing your work?" Shang Xiaoxi's crisp voice was full of anxiety.
"Haha, if you call, no matter how busy I am, I will be free." Da Wenbin said lightly, "What's the matter, is business going well recently?"
"It's okay." Shang Xiaoxi replied softly, noncommittal, "I don't run every day, but I don't follow the class anymore. The company has found someone to help me."
"Uh, I've become a leader." Da Wenbin teased her, "You came to me to tell me the good news, right?"
"It's like this..." Shang Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, and said a little awkwardly, "If you are free at night, I would like to invite you out for dinner, is it okay?"
"There are no Taiwanese and Chinese masters this time?" Da Wenbin continued to tease her cheerfully, "You have promised me this meal several times, but you have not kept it."
"I've always kept my word. Just after get off work today, do you think it's okay?" Shang Xiaoxi was not at all embarrassed when he argued unreasonably, on the contrary, he raised his voice, looking confident.
At this time, Zhu Hongyu took two pages of paper in his hand, knocked twice on the half-open door and came in.Seeing Da Wenbin sitting on a chair with his back to the door and talking on his cell phone, he tiptoed out and stood outside the door, waiting for Da Wenbin to finish the call.
Da Wenbin heard the sound of footsteps, turned around quickly, and glanced at Zhu Hongyu's back.After all the doors were closed, I bent down on the table, glanced at the desk calendar, and said solemnly: "Okay, what do you want to eat, the time and place are up to you, and I will be there."
Da Wenbin hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and shouted towards the door: "Xiao Zhu, come in."
Zhu Hongyu walked in again, put two pages of paper in front of Da Wenbin, and said with a guilty smile, "Mr. Da, this is what I drafted just now. Regarding the request for investment and shareholding with the Ministry of Tianjin, please You review."
Da Wenbin raised his head, took two pages of paper, looked down for a few casual glances, and frowned slightly.When Zhu Hongyu saw it, his heart tensed up, but he still didn't dare to speak. He leaned forward and took out a signature pen from the pen holder on the table, took off the cap and put it on the tail of the pen tube, and handed it to Da Wenbin.
Da Wenbin didn't seem to notice that there was a pen in his hand, and he still looked down at the document.After a few seconds, I started to sketch and revise the request for instructions. At this time, the phone on the desktop rang again.Da Wenbin glanced at the phone with a flashing red light in annoyance, hesitated for a few seconds, put down his pen reluctantly, and leaned over to look at the caller ID on the LCD screen.Seeing that it was a familiar number, Da Wenbin immediately reached out and picked up the phone to answer it.
"Mr. Xu, hello——" Da Wenbin said loudly with enthusiasm, "It's been hard work for you in Guangzhou....Well, it's convenient..." Da Wenbin glanced at Zhu Hongyu from the corner of his eyes as he said.
Zhu Hongyu understood that this was the leader's intention to avoid him, so he bowed slightly to Da Wenbin, and quickly turned around and left.Before going out, he deliberately twisted the doorknob and locked the door behind him.
"Mr. Xu, tell me." Da Wenbin said in a solemn tone.
"Boss Da, something big is going to happen! What do you think about this?" Xu Aihua's tone on the phone sounded like he was about to cry.
Da Wenbin had never heard Xu Aihua's voice so anxious, and he couldn't help feeling nervous immediately, slid down to the table with a crash, and clenched the receiver: "Aihua, what happened, don't worry, just speak slowly!"
"Boss Da, we have a traitor! I just received a call from Yang Mingfeng from our department, saying that he would go to the hospital with Zhu Hongyu..." Xu Aihua was out of breath, panicked, and his voice was soft from the wronged victim, She slowly transitioned into a sad little daughter-in-law, and in the end, she actually sobbed a little, "...Unexpectedly, this little Meng, we usually pay attention to cultivating him and trust him so much, but he will repay his kindness and collude with some people to deceive us. I, I really, I really can't understand this human heart..."
Da Wenbin had just heard her lose his mind, thinking that the sky was going to fall.He listened slowly, but his demeanor gradually eased. Isn't it just a small treasury? Since it was discovered in advance, it shouldn't be a big problem to say hello to the bank and do some processing on the account.But when he heard the back, the corners of his mouth that had just been loosened for a while, slowly tightened again, his eyes narrowed, his teeth were clenched, and his face turned ashen.
"Aihua, wait a minute..." Da Wenbin said gloomyly, sliding the chair to the front of his file basket, and took out a red file folder without a ridge, with a microphone between his neck and cheeks, opened it and flipped through two pages, When he found the paper with the account number that Zhu Hongyu handed him that day, he saw the special account number with a line drawn on it at a glance, and asked in a rough voice, "Is it that..."
"Yes, that's the one!" Xu Aihua seemed to think for a few seconds, and confirmed with certainty.
"Okay, I got it!" Da Wenbin said with a hissing voice through his teeth, "I have to think about it again. We can't wrong a good person, but we must never let a villain who sells public interests go." Da Wenbin softened his tone, "You should come back quickly, maybe some accounts need to be dealt with urgently."
"I've already bought an air ticket for the night, and I can arrive in the early morning. Mr. Da, I'm responsible for this matter, I..." Xu Aihua's weak voice sounded like a wronged little girl.
"Okay, okay," Da Wenbin pretended to be relaxed, and comforted her with a calm voice, "I asked you to bring the account number, what's wrong with you? If you want to talk about responsibility, my responsibility may account for 9% Ten, haha. By the way, before taking off, don’t forget to send a text message to the group office and ask them to send a car to pick you up. Take a good rest when you get home, I’m afraid you’ll be busy tomorrow.”
Da Wenbin put down the phone, rested his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.Except for the five fingers of his right hand which were constantly twitching rapidly, the rest of the body was almost motionless.The questions he is considering now are: 1. At this sensitive time, is it possible that the centrist Xu Aihua is deliberately fabricating a lie to frame Meng Fanqun?The purpose was to take the opportunity to help his confidant Liu Lixin to the position of deputy director.2. If the situation is exactly as Xu Aihua said, how should Meng Fanqun be dealt with openly and quietly.3. It is certainly a good thing that the organization headed by Secretary Wang, hidden in the dark, was finally exposed and confirmed his own judgment.But now a bigger question arises, whether they coincide with Ge Yibing, who accidentally jumped out of the meeting yesterday to speak nonsense, are they all fantasizing about gaining something in this struggle, or are they just a group? ?It would be easier if they were all in the same group, but it would be a bit troublesome if they coincided with each other. Divide and conquer will inevitably involve more energy.4. By analogy, will there be other opposition forces hidden deeper?
Thinking of Zhu Hongyu who was related to the account, Director Zhang who seemed to have nothing to do with the world, Meng Fanqun who was used to playing tricks, and Yang Mingfeng who came out of the way... Da Wenbin sighed once again, the human heart is sinister!
I have worked hard in Yuanhong for more than 20 years, but I never thought that at the critical moment, I would be surrounded by powerful enemies, and I would almost end up betraying my relatives and leaving my family alone.To put it this way, even Zhang Hongwei may not be 100% trustworthy.In this critical period, you must not trust anyone easily except yourself.
When he was about to get off work, Zhu Hongyu entered Da Wenbin's office with a bunch of car keys in his hand.Da Wenbin took the key and smiled at him.Zhu Hongyu turned around and was about to leave, only to hear Da Wenbin slowly say behind him: "Xiao Zhu, let me put the request for instructions to the ministry first, and talk about it when I have time."
There is no need to censor Zhu Hongyu, the account was leaked from him, it should be said that the possibility is very high!No matter what the motive, what purpose, whether it was intentional or not, Da Wenbin was confident in his heart. From the analysis of Zhu Hongyu's character, under the current circumstances, he would not dare to betray himself no matter what.If you betray yourself, why do you need an account?The important thing now is that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, because in the end it is up to Meng Fanqun himself to prove whether Yang Mingfeng is honest or not.
It's peak traffic jam time after get off work!The mighty, rolling steel array that can't be seen at a glance gradually spread out on the criss-cross asphalt road, from point to line, from line to surface, and finally extended and spread. In a short period of time, the entire capital city became Become a suffocating large parking lot.Colorful, various styles of iron-hulled machines, with red tails, carry anxious passengers. While spewing smoke into the air unscrupulously, they are also cultivating people's patience and willpower.No wonder some people say that Beijing is a super patient city, and it will definitely make you lost in it slowly.It seems that there is some truth to this remark no matter from which aspect it is said.
Da Wenbin drove the "Passat" borrowed by Zhu Hongyu for half a circle around the Second Ring Road, and was chased and intercepted several times. It was not until nearly seven o'clock that he arrived at the meeting place designated by Shang Xiaoxi.
This is a Hunan restaurant with a simple style, and the surrounding walls are covered with various bamboo strips of different shades and widths.Da Wenbin walked in, and it was easy to see Shang Xiaoxi standing up from a small table by the window in the hall, leaning over, waving his long white arms vigorously at him.
Shang Xiaoxi was wearing a light red, thin georgette gown with one side slanted over the hip bones, and a pair of bright royal blue silk trousers underneath. Pulling towards the sky like a broomstick.Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, the style of this girl's attire has changed, from the original black and white to red and blue.
"How about it? I'll keep my word. I'm treating guests today." When Shang Xiaoxi sat down, those gleaming bits and pieces tied around his neck and waist were jingling.
"Why did you choose such a far away place?" Da Wenbin asked her with a sullen face as he put his purse on the window sill, as if he had something on his mind.
"Hey," Shang Xiaoxi smiled relish, and said while reaching out to hand him the recipe, "This is a restaurant opened by my hometown. It's very authentic. I specially invite you, the big boss, to taste our hometown dishes. "
Da Wenbin took the menu, flipped through two pages casually, and seeing that the price was really low, he handed it back to her, and said absently: "Since it's in your territory, I'll listen to you, and I'll eat whatever you order."
"Oh, I agreed to treat you today, how dare you order by yourself..." Although Shang Xiaoxi was speaking modestly, he had already opened the menu, turned his head and called the waiter loudly, "Little sister—order."
Shang Xiaoxi looked like a regular customer, he rolled his eyes casually and exported four dishes, including "Duck with Blood Cake" and "Stir-fried Edamame with Dried Radish". "I won't order too much," Shang Xiaoxi put his hands together and said with a smile, "it's just the two of us, we can't eat too much, and besides, I'm trying to lose weight now. Oh, forget it, you Can't eat too spicy..." She suddenly screamed, and hurriedly called back the waiter who had just left not far away, "Add a 'ground mushroom'."
Hehe, this girl is still so careless.Da Wenbin saw that she hadn't made much progress, so he asked tentatively: "I don't know if you are so forgetful in front of your boyfriend?"
Shang Xiaoxi stared at Da Wenbin for a long while, then turned his mouth and said arrogantly: "He, he doesn't dare to speak of me like you do. Do you still want to mess around?"
When Da Wenbin heard this, his heart tightened.No wonder she's been avoiding me for a while, it turns out she really has someone to marry.So his face gradually became serious, and he asked Shang Xiaoxi leisurely: "You asked me out today, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as inviting me to dinner, right?"
"Hey, it's really my brother, guess right!" Shang Xiaoxi squeezed his red lips and winked at Da Wenbin vigorously.The probe pulled out the big handbag from under the buttocks behind his back, tossed and rattled a few times in it, and took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills tied with rubber bands, and placed them in front of Da Wenbin.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Da Wenbin looked at the money suspiciously, and then at Shang Xiaoxi's calm pink face.
"This is your training fee commission." Shang Xiaoxi stared at Da Wenbin intently, and said seriously, "I will give you 15% of my commission, so that's about it."
Da Wenbin immediately understood that the main purpose of this girl looking for him today was not to give him the so-called kickback, but to use the name of the kickback to implicitly express an attitude: in the future, the two should draw a clear line between each other. Purely a business relationship.But is this necessary?
It is undeniable that from Shang Xiaoxi's previous performances, he really wanted to lure him, the boss of a state-owned enterprise, to cheat.But later, when Da Wenbin took the initiative, she flinched for some unknown reason.This kind of inseparable relationship between brother and sister and lover has been maintained for more than a year, at least physically, the relationship between the two is innocent.Da Wenbin knows that if he accepts Shang Xiaoxi's so-called "breakup fee" today, he will not only lose this little girl who once brought him a young and happy feeling forever, but also means that he tacitly agrees that he once had a relationship with her. Have an unusual relationship.This kind of cutting corners is absolutely unacceptable!
Shang Xiaoxi's deliberate efforts to play out such a self-satisfied cleverness really revealed that her current level is still too low.First of all, don't you think about who Da Wenbin is?Leaving aside the field-tested fighting master, he is a man who dares to challenge the big leaders for his own belief and honor under the great disparity in strength!No matter in terms of a man's self-esteem, or in terms of the "reward" he has received, how can he give in before the little girl can play with this trick?Don't talk about a little money in this area.This is mainly because Shang Xiaoxi still doesn't understand state-owned enterprises, and he wants to break up with Da Wenbin in this way, which can only be said to be too stupid and naive!State-owned enterprises are committed to life, and work for a lifetime.In that kind of complicated environment, one day, who the hell are you, will be passed on to Da Wenbin's ears.By that time, will your husband still be in Yuanhong?So the ignorant are fearless, only she dares to play like this.
Da Wenbin stared at the money and pondered for a while, then looked at Shang Xiaoxi with a half-smile, and suddenly turned serious, and said bluntly: "I understand what you want to express, but you should take the money back. no need."
Shang Xiaoxi really didn't expect Da Wenbin to be so straightforward, blushed suddenly, obediently reached out to pick up the money, and stuffed it back into his handbag.Seeing that Shang Xiaoxi was still obedient, Da Wenbin's anger subsided by half.
The food came out quickly.When the two of them ate, each had their own ulterior motives, and they were careful, trying not to mention sensitive topics.As far as work is concerned, what else can I say?It's several floors away!Da Wenbin suddenly felt that he seemed to be twenty years younger, and he was having a break-up meal with his girlfriend, and she was the one who dumped him, so he couldn't help but feel more and more depressed.Alas, do you want any woman?But why is he so attached to a Shang Xiaoxi?No wonder everyone says that stealing is worse than not being able to steal.For this kind of nondescript relationship, maybe it ended so plainly, or it was the best result.
After Shang Xiaoxi settled the bill, Da Wenbin drove Shang Xiaoxi home, and the two were silent all the way.The neon lights are still flashing on the street, but it seems to be much dimmer than before.Da Wenbin turned his face to see Shang Xiaoxi's flickering, blurred silhouette under the dim light of the street lamps, and suddenly felt that this familiar girl in the past was a little strange. Although she was close at hand, she seemed far away. at the end of the world.Shang Xiaoxi seemed to have matured all of a sudden, although she was still full and plump, but there was a little sadness in the corners of her eyes, which was heartbreaking.For the first time, Da Wenbin felt that the person sitting next to him was already a woman.And any woman, in front of a man who likes her, will always be a love expert.He wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of a word under the impulse.
The car was still far away from where Shang Xiaoxi lived. In the darkness, Shang Xiaoxi suddenly murmured in a low and hoarse voice: "Come here, I want to walk alone." Da Wenbin pulled over and stopped.He guessed that maybe at this moment, his invisible opponent might be a flimsy little boy, or a fat and round little Taibao, who kept looking around not far ahead, waiting to pick up his girlfriend." work overtime and go home".
Shang Xiaoxi pushed the door and got out of the car. The moment the door was closed, he obviously hesitated for a few seconds before walking forward with his head down.Shang Xiaoxi's face was tilted forward, a few locks of hair drooping and fluttering, covering half of his white face, and his high-heeled shoes were beating the ground loudly, the sound was heavy and slow.All of a sudden, there was a muffled "bang" of the car door behind him, and Shang Xiaoxi seemed to have been prepared in a hazy way, turned around abruptly, and stood there waiting blankly.
Da Wenbin ran up to Shang Xiaoxi in a few steps, and said in a trembling voice, hesitantly: "Xiaoxi, can I hug you?"
Shang Xiaoxi still didn't move, his face was as pale as paper, calm as water.Da Wenbin took a step forward and slowly stretched out his arms. The moment he touched Shang Xiaoxi's round shoulders, he felt her body leaning forward slightly.Da Wenbin didn't hesitate any longer, and wrapped his arms around Shang Xiaoxi's limp body, feeling as if two balls of fire were tightly attached to his chest.
"Remember my phone." Shang Xiaoxi's hair rustled and rubbed against Da Wenbin's ear twice. "Remember the QQ number you gave me." Shang Xiaoxi rubbed Da Wenbin's ear twice with his hair.
Da Wenbin let go of Shang Xiaoxi, and strode towards the "Passat" that hadn't turned off.Opening the door, closing the door, turning on the headlights, with a bang, Shang Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, gradually, dragged by the farther and farther red light beams of the rear taillights, and slipped quietly...
