Chapter 118
-Are you angry?
After the call was hung up, Jing Ling's first reaction was this. He was tactful enough not to continue calling, but to send a text message instead.
Two seconds later, the phone vibrated and a reply came.
-No. In a meeting.
It was thoughtful to give two periods.
Seeing this answer, Jing Ling knew that he was indeed angry. Because the answer was too quick, too direct and too concise. If she had simply replied that she was working, or that she would reply after a while, Jing Ling would not have doubted it.
-I was wrong.
Although he has no experience in pursuing girls, this situation is not uncommon for him and he knows how to deal with it. Without saying a word, he admitted his mistake decisively.
After this text message was sent, it took almost a minute for Yunshu to reply.
-Well, what did you do wrong?
Jing Ling could almost imagine that on the other end of the line, she was holding her phone and replying, her face reflected on the screen, looking angry but a little bit like she wanted to laugh.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little dazed.
The image that comes to mind is both familiar and unfamiliar. The familiar face of Yunshu is what he used to look like. What is unfamiliar is the expression on his face. In my memory, that face rarely even had a smile on it, let alone emotions like jealousy or anger. Maybe someone liked her before, but she had never liked anyone of the opposite sex or had a relationship. Living under the shadow of the Tan family, she was once full of doubts about life, let alone love and marriage.
But now everything is different.
As Yunshu, he has become a thing of the past forever and cannot be traced back. The one standing here now is Jing Ling. I met my former self in a parallel time and space, and when we met, fate split into another path, leading to a completely unfamiliar future.
Yunshu was the man he once was before they met. After the encounter, the marks on her body were gradually washed away by time, and she gradually became a brand new individual.
It's a wonderful feeling. Such a change is inevitably difficult to accept at first. But Jing Ling felt that he should really try to change his mindset and perspective.
…
The slight vibration of his cell phone brought him back to his senses. It was another text message from Yunshu.
-You have been busy filming recently, so I didn’t tell you about my job transfer. The new workplace is far away from the tea mountain, but the transportation is convenient. The airport is quite close to here, less than an hour’s drive away.
Jing Ling was stunned when he saw this message. He really didn't know about Yunshu's job transfer. She only told him that the previous trafficking case had been resolved and told him not to worry. He respected her idea and did not ask anyone privately. But the job transfer is not really that surprising. Jing Ling had taken time to study the kidnapping case in Chashan. According to the clues provided by Yunshu, it could almost be said to be an unsolvable deadlock. The victim has long been dead and there is no body. The two main perpetrators are also no longer alive. As for the rapists, they are still alive, and the abducted women are also here, but one is dead and there is no evidence, and the others have accepted their fate and don’t want to pursue the matter. What’s the point?
If it weren't for Hu Wei's special identity, there would really be no hope for this matter.
Although the problem was solved in the end, it caused endless troubles for Yunshu. She pointed out the fact that the villagers in Tianwa Group were collectively committing the crime of human trafficking. The more remote and backward the place is, the weaker the people's legal awareness is. They only care about things that are beneficial to themselves, without distinguishing right from wrong. Not only the villagers of Tianwa Group hate her, some employees in the town probably also resent her in their hearts, because the performance of the grassroots is linked to various assessments, which involve interests.
Under such circumstances, it is not a good choice for Yunshu to continue staying in Chashan Town.
-Is that Governor Hu?
Although he sent a text message to ask, Jing Ling was basically certain in his heart. It's not that he is so predictable. Anyone who knows the inside story can basically guess it.
-Um.
-Where? After all, we are not in the same place. If I want to take the blame, I have to plan the route first so that I can get to the door quickly and well.
-Jiuan City, Shuangshan Town, Pingli County.
-I have a meeting. I'll talk to you in the evening.
After two consecutive text messages, there was no movement from Yunshu. But even if she was fine, Jing Ling couldn't continue chatting. It was originally just a halftime break, as there were other scenes to be filmed next, and the staff also told him that he should get ready. After turning off the phone screen and handing it to his assistant, he got up to shoot the next scene.
The equipment has been debugged and the signal is normal. The conference call has begun on the big screen in the conference hall.
Except for those who were absent from the meeting, almost all members of the town's leadership team were present and sat scattered in the first two rows. The rest of the employees also arrived one after another, found a seat and sat down, some chatted in low voices in twos and threes, some played with their mobile phones quietly, and not many people really listened to the lecture seriously.
Yunshu sat in the second row against the wall, with a glass half filled with water next to him. Before the meeting started, she sat there and exchanged text messages with Jing Ling. Talking to someone she liked made her feel happy even when talking about ordinary topics, and the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably.
Although Shuangshan Town is much stronger than Chashan in economic development, it is basically supported by the coal industry. The number of jobs this industry can bring and the industries it drives are very limited, so this place is essentially still a small town.
The cloud book still seems out of place with the painting style here.
No matter her appearance or temperament, she is the most eye-catching in the crowd, and her smile is even more eye-catching.
-Do you think my chances of success are high if I pursue her?
On the other side of the second row, two deputies were communicating in the penguin group.
-Dream more realistically! You can tell at first glance that this person is not an ordinary person. I don't know which royal family he is from. He will definitely be transferred away after completing his term. How many people are chasing after her? Everyone is powerful!
another replied.
-I'm not bad either, at least I have money!
-Just your monthly salary of several thousand? I guess it’s not even enough for a trip to the beauty salon! This flower looks beautiful and precious, but most people can’t afford it!
-Or your private savings? That requires you to dare to take it out openly.
This is not an office group, but a private group. In addition to several leaders, the group members also include company leaders. To sum up, they are the stakeholders.
The two chatted happily and were soon joined by others. The topic of beauty gradually extended and the content became more and more vulgar.
If Yunshu knew what they talked about, she would probably feel a little relieved while being angry, because although these people were wary of her from the beginning, they were wary of strangers instead of doubting her identity. As expected, old people are more experienced. Governor Hu must have thought of this when he made the arrangements.
