Wei Xiaowu was so sad that she didn't know until now that her grandfather had paid a huge price to settle the trouble behind Yang Xiaobao, which gave her a great shock. Until he knew about it, Wei Xiaowu always felt that although his grandfather was kind-hearted, he was also an old bureaucrat with a strong desire for power. He only looked at the pros and cons of everything, not the feelings.
Wei Xiaowu has always been a little disgusted with her grandfather's habits. In her opinion, his grandfather is a man who likes power like life. But she was surprised to be able to make such a great decision and sacrifice.
"Well. No matter whether you resign or retire, you can enjoy your leisure at last. " Seeing that Wei Zhuang was worried, Wei Xiaowu took his grandfather's arm and deliberately said, "you don't have to worry about having no time to discipline me any more. You have leisure and air traffic control to teach me. What's the matter with you? What should be unhappy is me! There will be no easy life in the future! "
"That's right. That's right. I should be happy." Wei Zhuang laughs heartily, stretches his brows, gets up, walks to the desk, hesitates for a while, finally reaches out his hand, picks up the red phone on the desk, and says, "the Secretariat? Help me arrange the trip back to my hometown tomorrow... Yes, all the meetings tomorrow will be cancelled... No matter how important the meeting is... Yes, that's it. "
Wei Xiaowu listened to his grandfather's words and nodded his head secretly: his grandfather finally made a decision to let go of all affairs related to power and no longer love the stack. Changing his schedule and refusing to attend any meeting should be his last stubbornness.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Zhuang felt as if he had put down a heavy burden he had shouldered for many years. His face suddenly relieved. He took up Wei Xiaowu's right hand and said with a smile, "go, walk with me in the garden. Tomorrow we will go back to our hometown. We may never come back here again. I've lived here for a long time, but I'm still reluctant to part with you. Please accompany me to have another look. "
Although people familiar with the inside story have always habitually called this Grand Manor "Wei Manor", in fact, this garden is not named Wei. The property right belongs to the government, but it has been assigned to Wei manor as an official residence for many years. According to the regulations, officials should be withdrawn after they leave office. Of course, as Wei Zhuang's status, he won't be taken back, but he won't come often in the future.
Walking on the lawn of the villa garden, although Wei Zhuang's face was relaxed and natural, he sighed in secret. Wei Xiaowu looked into the distance, his mind floating on Yang Xiaobao's body, secretly thinking: "are you dead or alive, and where are you going?"
……
Haizhou municipal government building, mayor's office. The doors and windows are closed, the lights are dim, and there is only a lonely figure in the huge office. It is rare that there is no busy scene in which the staff constantly report their work in and out. Standing in front of the huge French window, Yan Zi looks at the power symbol on the opposite roof through the semi closed curtain: a huge national emblem.
In the past, when she was tired from work, Yanzi often liked to stand in front of the French window and take a rest. Whenever she looks down on the staff of the market and government compound, she can't help feeling a sense of unspeakable satisfaction: these busy staff all obey her orders and serve her. Whenever this feeling arises, no matter how much work fatigue will disappear immediately.
At this moment, Yanzi is still standing in front of the French window of the office as usual, with a gloomy face and a stagnant expression. There is no smile on her face. It is also overlooking the square of the municipal government, but no longer has the satisfaction of the past. What happened these days is so unexpected that she has just recovered.
The mobile phone on the desk suddenly rings a harsh bell, which wakes Yan Zi from her memory. Reluctantly, she walked over and picked up the phone. The caller ID was a strange mobile phone number.
Yan Zi was stunned for several seconds. The mobile phone number she used as mayor was filtered by the telecom company, and her privacy was well controlled. Therefore, unlike ordinary people's mobile phones, she would not often receive strange harassment calls. This call is really weird.
The phone rings all the time, and it seems that the caller is in a hurry. In a trance, Yan Zi suddenly thought of a possibility. She couldn't help shaking her hands and answered the phone in a hurry. She couldn't wait to ask in a trembling voice: "is that you? I know it's you. I know you escaped the fire. You're still alive, aren't you? "
However, the phone rang a strange woman's voice: "is it Yanzi, Miss Yan?"
Yan Zi's daydream like fantasy was completely disillusioned. Her heart, which had just been uplifted, fell back to the bottom of the valley and said feebly, "I am. Who are you?"
The other side didn't answer directly. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, "listen to what you just said, you don't believe that Yang Xiaobao is dead. You're looking for him, right? You think this strange number is him, don't you? "
This person seems to have seen through his mind when he opens his mouth, and he seems to know his own situation very well, especially about the secret relationship between her and Yang Xiaobao. In such a sensitive period, such a strange woman appeared, which is really unusual. Yan Zi suddenly became alert and asked in a deep voice: "who are you?"
"Mayor Yan, actually we met - you were the head of Dongguan district at that time." The woman on the other end of the phone said quietly, "my name is Xu Jing, and it's Yang Xiaobao's..." she stopped for a moment, seemed to consider the wording, and wanted to show her unusual relationship with Yang Xiaobao in a better way. "I'm Yang Xiaobao's friend... Well, very close."
"Close friends? How close is it? As close as he and I are? " Yan Zi blurted out and asked in a shrill voice. Women's jealousy has always been regardless of the occasion, also regardless of time. Even in such a time of worry and concern, she was also full of jealousy.
The other side is not angry, with a very mild tone said: "can we meet to say?"
Half an hour later, Yan Zi met Xu Jing in her mayor's office.
As soon as she saw Xu Jing, Yan Zi recognized her as a woman who had gone to Wuxian village to solve her real estate disputes and had gone through the retirement procedures. It is precisely because of these things that she was able to get to know Yang Xiaobao.
