He never expected that Zhang Xiaohui, who originally had a happy and fulfilling family, would experience the tragedy of divorce in the middle of her life on this afternoon.
What he never expected was that his family and life might also slide into a terrible and painful abyss because of Liu Han's appearance, because of his identity as a special agent, and because of his wife's murder.
Qiu Jingwen secretly resolved not to let his family slide into tragedy and abyss.
Lunch break passed quickly.
He glanced at the wall clock; it was still twenty minutes to two. He then stepped out of the workshop office.
Outside the workshop office, there were two open-air cement pools with straw wrapped around the taps for winter protection.
Qiu Jingwen turned on the tap, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face to wash it.
After returning to his office, Qiu Jingwen took out a mirror and used his fingers instead of a comb to tidy his hair.
Although he didn't know the content of the afternoon meeting, it was nonetheless a meeting of leaders from the Provincial Military Industry Bureau, and it was attended by senior middle-level cadres. As a workshop director, he had to maintain a good image and could imagine the importance of the meeting.
After tidying his hair and putting on his work clothes, Qiu Jingwen left the office, closed the door, got on his bicycle, and went directly to the guesthouse.
After he sat down in the guesthouse conference room, all the factory's middle-level managers and above had arrived one after another, and the factory director, Zhu Gurui, had also arrived early. Only Zhou Huaihai was not in the conference room.
Qiu Jingwen noticed a banner hanging at the front of the conference room that read:
A warm welcome to the leaders from the Provincial Military Industry Bureau and the city and county governments for their guidance!
He hadn't expected that leaders from the provincial, municipal, and county levels would all be present at today's meeting, and he felt that the content of the meeting must be very important.
About five minutes later, Zhou Huaihai, the top leader, led four people into the conference room and sat down in the reserved seats.
Tea was already prepared on the conference table, and two guesthouse staff stood behind the meeting, ready to serve tea to the leaders at any time.
At 2:00 PM, Zhou Huaihai announced the start of the meeting and then introduced the relevant provincial and municipal leaders to the attendees from Hongqi Factory.
Qiu Jingwen and most of the middle-level cadres knew Zhou Jiang and He Lili, the leaders of the Provincial Military Industry Bureau. They often came to the factory to inspect the work, and at the end of each year, they would accompany the leaders of the Ministry of Ordnance to the factory to express their condolences.
To Qiu Jingwen's surprise, in addition to the two familiar leaders from the Provincial Military Industry Bureau, Zhou Huaihai also introduced the leaders from the Municipal and County Public Security Bureaus.
Both are bureau chiefs; one is Chen Sheng, the bureau chief of the city bureau, and the other is Zhu Shiqiang, the bureau chief of the county bureau.
