I sighed: "This can be considered a major victory."
Wang Yanshu continued, "After this incident, my opinion of Secretary Liu Keji has changed drastically. At the critical moment, he not only upheld justice, but more importantly, he placed extremely high expectations on you."
I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face. Wang Yanshu explained: "Years ago, Secretary Liu took me to County Magistrate Zhang's office and mentioned that the reason for supporting Liu Xiuwen to join the Standing Committee was not only to affirm Liu Xiuwen's original integrity, but also to reserve space for your long-term development. County Magistrate Liu is over 50 years old and will probably retire from the Standing Committee in two years. At that time, it will be a great opportunity for you to join the Standing Committee."
I responded modestly: "It's rare that the leaders bother me, but I still have many shortcomings and have not done enough."
Wang Yanshu looked serious and reminded him, "Good, you know yourself. I heard that you have an ambiguous relationship with Xiao Shen, who is on a temporary assignment with you, and the county government has already heard about it. Hongjun, at this critical moment, you must not destroy the Great Wall by yourself and ruin your bright future in vain."
I was resolute and immediately stated: "Please rest assured, I will never make a subversive or principled mistake."
Wang Yanshu continued, "It's not a mistake in principle. It's mainly Xiao Shen's father. If he is very eager to develop a relationship with you, once he is irritated, it will be easy for him to deal with you."
I didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so I turned to ask Wang Yanshu: "What is Secretary Liu's attitude towards Hongcheng Real Estate's development of Land 1#?"
Wang Yanshu replied: "Secretary Liu has a negative and negative attitude. If the project develops well, he will naturally be happy to see it succeed; but if there is a problem, he will not help."
After hearing her say this, I felt relieved.
After coming out of Wang Yanshu's office, I hesitated for a long time, but finally called Lin Hai. After the call was connected and a few simple pleasantries were exchanged, I went straight to the point: "Boss Xiao Lin, I heard that you have a good impression of Secretary Xiao Shen?"
Lin Hai was obviously a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone, and stammered, "Yes, I do have feelings for her, but my family doesn't seem to have that kind of interest in me. It was indeed a bit abrupt for me to send her flowers yesterday. Relationships are about mutual consent, and I won't bother her again in the future."
I patiently persuaded him, "You are young, and you must have great courage and resolution to pursue love and happiness. How can you win the hearts of girls if you only try briefly?"
Hearing this, Lin Hai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Director Guan, do you mean for me to work harder?"
I said earnestly, "How can the beautiful things in the world be obtained easily? You have to be persistent."
Lin Hai was overjoyed on the phone and said, "Thank you so much, Director Guan, for your guidance. Now I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, I felt a strong wave of nausea rising up in my heart. It was the first time I felt so disgusted with myself. However, the brutal reality is that I have no choice at all.
This time, I did not return to the development zone, but went home early.
When Xixi saw me come in, she staggered towards me. I quickly stretched out my arms and held her firmly in my arms. She shouted crisply: "Dad, my brother is here."
I raised my head and saw Guan Ningyu at a glance. He was standing timidly behind my mother.
The mother urged softly, "Ning Yu, call daddy quickly."
But Ning Yu was like a frightened little rabbit. Not only did he not make a sound, but he kept hiding behind his mother and refused to come out.
Ning Yuru is already in the first grade of primary school, and the enthusiasm for getting close to me that she had when she was a child is long gone. After all, they had too few opportunities to meet each other on weekdays, and before they knew it, a sense of estrangement had developed between father and son.
I noticed that Ning Yu seemed to be deliberately avoiding me, and a strong sense of guilt suddenly surged in my heart.
I walked up to him and opened my arms, trying to pick him up, but his weight was beyond my expectations, and I failed after two attempts. At this time, my mother took Xixi, and I finally picked up Ningyu.
I asked softly, "Son, did your mother send you here?"
He nodded, his expression no longer as distant as before, and he leaned his head against mine.
The mother explained, "Fangfang went to work at your master's factory. The factory is in the development zone, so she has to commute every day. Ningyu will live here during the winter vacation, and his grandfather will be responsible for picking him up from school in the future."
I was very surprised to hear this. I had no idea about this. I couldn't help but ask, "Dad has moved to the city?"
The mother smiled and replied, "Your father is a man who favors boys over girls. When he heard that you were going to pick up your grandson, he didn't even say that he couldn't get used to living in the city."
