"Hey, isn't that Chen Ergou?"
As soon as she got out of the car, Guan Yuxi saw a familiar figure.
The man had a broken bowl in front of him and was sitting at the station entrance begging, wearing greasy clothes.
However, the man was soon dragged away by a tall man.
Guan Yuxi wanted to chase after him, but then she stopped, thinking about what Chen Ergou had done to her.
Leng Lie watched the two squeeze into the crowd with a cold expression, then turned around and put on a blank look, "Where? I don't see them."
In the crowd, Chen Ergou wanted to turn around and ask Guan Yuxi for help.
He was just babbling incoherently, unable to speak clearly.
The tall man, seeing the cold and fierce expression, was so frightened that he quickly turned his head away and dragged Chen Ergou along like a dead dog, quickening his pace.
Guan Yuxi shook her head, "Never mind."
If that person was Chen Ergou, and he had already fallen to this state, she wouldn't bother to pursue the matter further.
If not, she believed Minister Zhao would not let him off easily.
"I need to go to the Armed Forces Department. Why don't you go to the guesthouse and rest for a while?"
Leng Lie looked at her, his eyes full of smiles.
Guan Yuxi blushed again, as if she had thought of something.
"You go ahead and do your work, I'll ask Sister Tiantian to come with me."
She gave him a look that seemed both angry and reproachful, then hurried away.
Leng Lie followed behind her.
Guan Yuxi turned to look at him, "Why are you following me?"
"My wife is so beautiful, I feel uneasy if she doesn't come with me."
Leng Lie took her hand in a serious manner.
Guan Yuxi shoved him away and quickly distanced herself from him.
"Stop being a pervert!"
It's one thing to bully her in an empty alley, but just now on the bus, he actually...
Now that he's back in town, the chances of running into acquaintances are even slimmer. Would he still dare to do that?
That guy's got a kick out of his job just because you give him a little attention!
Leng Lie coughed lightly. Seeing that the people around him were looking at him and their questioning gazes seemed to genuinely regard him as a hooligan, he had no choice but to follow behind her at a leisurely pace, not daring to overstep his bounds again.
"Well, actually, Minister Zhao wanted us to go together."
When he reached the fork in the road, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Guan Yuxi paused, no longer in the mood to argue with Minister Zhao.
Minister Zhao is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. If he needs to contact her for personal matters, he will definitely go to Lengjiagou or invite her to his home.
There can only be one reason why she needs to go to the office now!
Her steps felt incredibly heavy; she didn't even have the strength to lift them.
Leng Lie held her hand tightly. "Go to the guesthouse and rest. I'll go."
I'll talk to you about it later.
He also had a vague idea of what Minister Zhao was going to say.
That's why I wanted Guan Yuxi to avoid it.
However, no matter what, he could never get past her in that matter.
Guan Yuxi took a deep breath and exhaled a long, stale air.
"No need, I'm prepared."
Regardless, she needs to know as much as possible about the facts!
Leng Lie held her close, his face full of worry.
He originally wanted her to avoid it, but...
He can't use the excuse of doing what's best for her to make choices for her.
Guan Yuxi gently pushed him away, "I can do it myself."
***
"Xiaoxi is here, please have a seat."
Minister Zhao personally brewed the tea.
The office was filled with smoke, and the ashtrays were covered with thick grime and countless messy cigarette butts.
Leng Lie stepped forward and opened all the windows, taking the cup and tea from his hands.
Guan Yuxi pursed her lips slightly, called out "Uncle Zhao," and silently sat down in the chair.
She stood tall and straight, like a tall poplar tree that is not afraid of any wind or frost.
Minister Zhao sat down in the chair opposite her.
After thinking for a moment, he got up again and placed the two envelopes in front of her.
A container of letter paper.
One contained several remittance slips.
Minister Zhao buried his head in his cigarette, his expression obscured by the swirling smoke.
Guan Yuxi glanced at him, then opened the letter and began to read it.
[Comrade Zhao Weiguo: We are deeply saddened to hear of Comrade Guan's passing! We reported this matter to the authorities as soon as we heard the news, but we are writing to you with great urgency, hoping that Comrade Guan's family and descendants will be treated well. We are enclosing a small amount of money to comfort the grieving relatives.]
Currently, everyone is busy with political affairs, and there are countless things to deal with. Your request is temporarily unavailable; please wait patiently! I am ashamed to meet you in person; please help me pay my respects at the grave of Comrade Guan, and offer a small cup of wine. Respectfully presented!
It has been more than half a year since Grandpa Guan had his accident.
As soon as he got into trouble, Minister Zhao reported the matter to his superiors, but only now has he received this reply.
Where does the "urgency" come from?
Guan Yuxi folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and pushed it in front of Minister Zhao.
"I understand, thank you Uncle Zhao."
She stood up and respectfully bowed deeply to him.
Minister Zhao's eyes reddened as he pushed another envelope in front of her. "This is a small token of appreciation from Secretary Song and the old man's other comrades..."
"No need!"
Guan Yuxi pushed the envelope back.
She doesn't lack money, and even if she did, she wouldn't need these people's charity.
Minister Zhao scratched his head in frustration, stubbed out his cigarette, and lit another one.
"Xiaoxi, you have to understand them too."
With the situation still unclear, they can only plan for the future if they protect themselves!
I believe that when the time is right, the old man's contributions will not be forgotten; since they have this intention, they certainly will not forget his achievements.
