Looking into each other's eyes, a pair of comrades who had "fought side by side" for more than a year expressed their feelings with their eyes.
Gu Daqiang raised his glass, Huo Qianli nodded and raised his glass as well.
Lao Tang stood aside, lit a cigarette, and commemorated the end of a story.
The strong liquor went down his throat, creating a fiery path between his chest and abdomen.
"I'll have a good talk with Lao Er later. If he really wants to do it, I'll go to town tomorrow and resign from my boss."
"I'll accompany you."
Huo Qianli did not persuade him any further and expressed his opinion calmly.
"Gu Chengde is too honest, Zhan Baoxing should be able to take over."
"It doesn't matter."
Huo Qianli shook his head. To be precise, as long as it wasn't Gu Daqiang, it wouldn't matter who else came.
With his current prestige, no one in Hushan Village would go against him, but no one would cooperate as well as he did with Gu Daqiang.
But what can he say?
His future is a future, but isn’t the future of other people’s sons a future?
Could he blame a father who gave up the future he had already achieved for his son?
That is also the stage that Gu Daqiang has always been looking forward to!
Just a few hours ago, he was still looking forward to what was to come with great enthusiasm!
Huo Qianli held the wine glass and said, "Please get the engineering team together as soon as possible. The first phase of construction will be handed over to you."
Gu Daqiang hesitated for a moment.
Huo Qianli waved his hand and said, "The village committee was also built by these people. The quality is good and reasonable. With your help, Haitao should be able to negotiate with them."
Gu Daqiang was touched and picked up the bottle to fill Huo Qianli's glass, but Huo Qianli reached out and took it, "Brother, I'll pour it for you."
The clear wine slowly filled the ceramic wine glass. Huo Qianli raised the glass with both hands and said solemnly: "Brother, toast to you!"
......
After the drinking party, Huo Qianli sat at the desk. It was no longer pitch dark outside the window, and the street lights were bright.
Huo Qianli held the phone and dialed Jiang Qingyue's number.
Jiang Qingyue and her daughter are living in Han Zhiyuan's home, still waiting for the test results.
After chatting for a while, Huo Qianli said, "Can I tell you something?"
"Um."
"Brother Gu is no longer the village chief, and he is also going to resign from his position as general manager of the industrial investment company."
Jiang Qingyue subconsciously uttered an "ah", and then remained silent for a few seconds, "What's wrong?"
Huo Qianli explained the cause of the incident in a low voice, and Jiang Qingyue listened silently.
After Huo Qianli finished speaking, she whispered, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"It's not that hard!" Huo Qianli sighed, "Because if it were me, I wouldn't know what to do either."
"For Gu Haitao, this is an important choice in his life. If he can follow this path that suits him, it will naturally open up a new situation in his life."
"For Brother Gu, in his fifties, he finally had a good opportunity to shine. He could now realize the ambitions that had been pent up in his heart."
"But they are father and son, and they are both in Hushan Village. Even if the villagers don't say anything, the government will not agree. Even..."
Huo Qianli paused, then said hesitantly: "Perhaps, I won't agree either."
He sighed, "Perhaps, if we were not so principled and ethical, wouldn't life be much easier?"
Jiang Qingyue said softly: "You are no longer you if you are like that."
Her gentle voice was like the sound of a clear spring, washing away the worries in Huo Qianli's heart. "I believe Uncle Daqiang made this decision willingly. Since Uncle Daqiang has made such a great sacrifice to uphold justice, you should take care of him more and help him plan more. The best help is to get Haitao's career started as soon as possible."
Huo Qianli nodded. "Yes, this is an opportunity. If he can seize it, he may be able to quickly open up the situation."
Jiang Qingyue said: "So, don't be sad. Just like you told me before, change is the most attractive part of life."
"Well, ok, when will you be back?"
"There are still two or three days left. We are still waiting for the report."
Boom boom boom.
Before Huo Qianli could say anything, there was a light knock on the door. He walked over and opened it.
Gu Haitao stood at the door with red eyes.
"Come in. I won't say anything for now!"
Huo Qianli hung up the phone and closed the door, then he heard Gu Haitao choking and saying, "Brother Qianli, I don't want to work in the engineering team anymore."
Huo Qianli frowned, pushed Gu Haitao to sit in front of the desk, and looked at him seriously, "You are just fooling around!"
Gu Haitao sniffed, "My dad told me that he wants to resign. I just want to set up a construction team, I don't want him to resign! He worked hard to get his current position."
He raised his head and looked at Huo Qianli, "Brother Qianli, you don't know, before you came, I was doing nothing all day, feeling lazy about everything. He is capable, he even went through the lotus pond and helped the boss before! But after coming back, he can only deal with this yellow mud, I know he is unhappy, I also thought that when I make a lot of money in the future, I will take him to the big city to play!"
"After you came, I could clearly feel that he was more energetic every day, and he smiled more often! You know, when he was the CEO of the industrial investment company, he walked with a breeze, and I knew he was happy. I'm not such a selfish person. If it's my business, I'd rather not do it at his expense!"
Huo Qianli said calmly: "Then what?"
