C1580 Turnaround
"Hur hur. Meeting Qiao Shida after today's meeting was your opportunity. However, this opportunity might seem like a coincidence, but it was definitely an inevitable one. Although this coincidental meeting will not change your current situation completely, it might be able to change your current situation. "
"What kind of turnaround do you think it will be?" I looked at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong thought for a moment. "I don't know."
"You really don't know?" "No," I said.
"I really don't know. I've told you countless times that there are countless changes in personnel, and before the official announcement, no one can figure it out." Qiu Tong said, "But no matter what, this matter after today's meeting is definitely not a bad thing for you. Although Minister Guan and Sun Dongkai were beaten by Secretary Qiao, they will definitely not vent their anger on you. They will not find any reason to blame you.
Moreover, Secretary Qiao said those words with a lot of leeway and flexibility. He didn't seem to have any intention of criticizing them directly, but at the same time, he had a faint sense of dissatisfaction. As the secretary of the Municipal Committee, Secretary Qiao's words today are very skillful, full of esoteric and subtle. This depends on how they understand it, especially Secretary Sun, how to understand his superior's words. It's an art and also a skill. "
Listening to Qiu Tong's words, I nodded. "Yes, Qiao Shida is very good with his speaking skills and esoteric skills."
Qiu Tong pondered for a moment. "I don't think you need to return to the base for the next two days."
"Oh." I looked at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong said, "Did you not understand what I'm saying?"
I quickly nodded: "Reporting to Secretary Qiu, I understand!"
Qiu Tong laughed happily again.
I looked at Qiu Tong's happy smile and said, "You're so beautiful when you smile."
Qiu Tong's face turned slightly red. "Smiling is the most beautiful expression in the world. Anyone who smiles will be the most beautiful."
"Not necessarily. Laughter is divided into many categories. Laughing lewdly, laughing sinisterly and laughing mockingly is not even beautiful." "No," I said seriously.
"You're quite analytical." Qiu Tong couldn't help but laugh.
I knew that Qiu Tong's laugh was from the bottom of her heart, and she was laughing for me.
Looking at Qiu Tong's moving smile, my heart could not help but shake.
In the afternoon, I had tea with Leh, Leh listened with interest to my story about finally meeting Qiao Shida.
After I finished speaking, Leh slowly said, "Ke, after what happened to you this time, did you seriously consider the circumstances?"
"I thought about it, but I didn't come up with anything!" "No," I said.
"Actually, have you ever thought about the kind of people who are interested in spreading rumors about you other than some boring people?" Leh said.
"What kind of people?" "No," I said.
"Your current and potential opponents are, in other words, people who are jealous and envious of you. You've advanced so fast at such a young age that there are many people around you who are jealous of you. Leh said.
"Oh." I nodded.
"This official battle is also a political battle. Do you know what the most obvious symptoms are?" Leh said.
"I don't know." "No," I said.
"I don't know. Let me tell you, the most obvious symptom of political red-eyed disease is making up rumors and causing trouble. Complaining without regard for right and wrong, hoping to win in the chaos." Leh said meaningfully.
I looked at Leh as if I didn't understand him.
Leh's words made me ponder deeply.
He had just broken up with Leh and walked out of the teahouse when he received a call from Lee.
"Yi, what's the matter?" Lee asked me.
"It's nothing, is there anything wrong with Uncle Lee?" "No," I said.
"Hur hur. I'm at home. If it's convenient for you, can you come over? We'll talk. " Lee said.
"This …" I couldn't help but have some doubts and concerns.
"Your aunt isn't home. She went for a walk." Lee added.
It looks like Lee wanted to talk to me alone. I thought about it and agreed. Then, I hung up the phone and went straight to Lee's house.
As expected, Lee was at home, sitting in the study room drinking tea.
After I came here, Lee invited me to sit down and brewed a cup of tea for me. "This is the Dian Hong I brought back from Yunnan. It tastes pretty good. Taste it."
I picked up the cup and drank a mouthful. The taste was pretty good, so I nodded: "Uncle Lee has a lot of taste in drinking tea."
"Hur hur." Lee laughed and turned on the player in the study. An old song, sung by Li Chunbo, that he hadn't heard for a long time, echoed in the room.
"I once deeply loved, I once felt helpless, I once shed tears and could not bear to part with it …"
I looked at Lee. He looked at the teacup in his hand in silence.
I did not speak, but listened.
"The memories of the time when my soul was cut off by a dream will never fade …"
The song was melancholy and soothing, the lyrics beautiful and melancholy, and my heart rose and fell.
In the song, I seemed to see Lee's old and scarred heart trembling, see his murky eyes full of moisture and reminiscence.
After the song ended, we all fell silent. After a long while, Lee let out a deep sigh.
"Uncle Lee." I cried, a little perturbed.
Lee looked up at me and smiled sadly: "This is my favorite song, and it's a song that worries me every time I listen to it. Every time I heard this song, I felt like I was back in those days. "Every time, I would listen alone in my study. This time, it was you who listened with me."
I was silent.
"This is the theme song of the television series' Insurable Duty '." Lee said again.
I nodded. "Yeah, I watched that TV show."
Lee lowered his eyelids and sighed deeply.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of Jin Jingxiu, Qiu Tong, Lee Shun, and Mrs Lee.
I don't know why Lee called me here today, was it just for me to listen to music?
"Uncle Lee, what do you want to say?" "No," I said.
Lee looked at me and smiled. "Yi, after the Spring Festival, Asun went to Korea with you, right?"
My heart thumped and I nodded. "Yes."
"What did Asun do with you when you went to Korea?" Lee asked me again, in a very gentle tone.
I don't know how Lee knew about me and Lee Shun's trip to Korea, but since he asked me, it means that he already knew a bit about me and Lee Shun's situation in Korea. I thought about it and said, "We went to Australia to play, and then went back to Korea on the way. We stayed there for more than a day. During my stay, I went to visit Jin Jingze and his aunt, and Boss Lee also went with me. "
Lee's eyelids jumped: "Oh. Asun also went. "
"Yes." "No," I said.
"Did you invite him or did he offer to go?" Lee asked me again.
"He asked to go himself." After I said that, I added, "Also, I went to visit Jin Jingze and his aunt. It was Boss Lee who suggested that I go."
"Oh." Lee nodded: "Did you see them then?"
"Yes." "No," I said.
"What did you talk about after you met?" Lee's breathing quickened.
I thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. I told Lee everything about how I met with Lee Shun and Jin Jingxiu and Jin Jingze.
I don't know why I did it, but I felt I had to.
When Lee heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said to me, "Yi, thank you. Thank you for telling me these things."
I don't need him to thank me.
"Yi, I have a request for you." Lee said.
Lee's request made me a bit uneasy. "Uncle Lee, you are an elder and I am a junior. You absolutely cannot speak in such a manner. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."
Lee said, "No, it's not an order. It's a request."
Lee was very stubborn.
"Uncle Lee, say what you want to say." "No," I said.
"I want you to keep this matter, all these things about me, and this trip to Korea with Asun, a secret from everyone." Lee looked at me pleadingly.
I couldn't stand the way Lee was looking at me, so I nodded my head: "Uncle Lee, I promise you!"
Lee let out a light breath and nodded his head, "Good, that's good. Yi, I still have to thank you."
I didn't know what to say, so I stood up uneasily: "Uncle Lee, what else do you want?"
Lee shook his head, his eyes were a little dazed: "No."
"Then I'll be going." "No," I said.
"Alright." Lee nodded. His eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment.
I didn't dare to look at Lee's eyes anymore, so I ran out of Lee's house.
It seems that he was very uneasy about Lee Shun's trip to Korea. I just don't know how he found out that Lee Shun went to Korea, maybe Lee Shun accidentally revealed it after he came home.
I seemed to be able to understand Lee's uneasiness. After all, he was now facing such a reality with his heart at ease. If I was him, I would also be unsettled.
Actually, even if Lee didn't ask me to keep this a secret, I still wouldn't tell others about him. I didn't feel that it was necessary for anyone to know about this matter, and the person that I wanted to tell her the most was Qiu Tong. But after thinking about it, I decided not to tell her about this matter for the time being, even though I knew she wouldn't.
I can imagine Qiu Tong would be shocked if she knew that Lee and Jin Jingxiu had such an unparalleled relationship.
For the time being, I don't want to shock Qiu Tong.
Of course, if I were to know more about Lee and Jin Jingxiu, I would definitely faint from the shock.1
The next morning, I received a notice from the group office staff asking me to come to Sun Dongkai's office.
I immediately went to the group and the staff took me to Sun Dongkai's office.
Sun Dongkai isn't here. The staff said that Secretary Sun is hosting a Group Party Committee Meeting and told me to wait in his office.
I sat on the couch and fumbled with a magazine, flipping through it and listening.
I knew that Qiu Tong and Cao Lee were both in a meeting in the Party conference room.
I don't know why I'm here now. Sun Dongkai is presiding over the Party committee, Qiu Tong and Cao Lee are attending the meeting. I can't ask anyone, and Qiu Tong can't tell me in advance.
After quite a while, he heard footsteps outside and Sun Dongkai's voice, "Secretary Qiu, Boss Cao, come to my office for a while."
When the meeting was over, I put down the magazine and looked at the door.
Then, Sun Dongkai came in, followed by Qiu Tong and Cao Lee.
Seeing me, Sun Dongkai smiled: "Yi is here."
I stood up and greeted the three of them, "Secretary Sun, Secretary Qiu, Boss Cao."
Qiu Tong pursed her lips and smiled at me. Cao Lee also smiled and nodded.
"Everyone, sit." Sun Dongkai said as he sat down on the sofa opposite me. Qiu Tong and Cao Lee also sat down.
"Yi, I just finished setting up the Party Committee. I called you here because I have something to discuss with you." Sun Dongkai said.
"Oh." I nodded, unable to fathom it.
"Secretary Qiu, you are in charge of personnel. You speak." Sun Dongkai looked at Qiu Tong.
