Qian Weixin didn't even look at him. "It's nothing. I just suddenly wanted to ride a bicycle."
"You really don't want to travel with me?"
Don't flatter yourself.
"you……"
Lu Yuan looked at the two, who were usually very composed, but were now bickering like children. He shook his head inwardly, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward to stop the bicycle. "Director Qian?"
Qian Weixin's attitude towards him improved significantly, and he smiled again. "Comrade Lu, don't overthink it. I just felt that there were too many people and the bus was crowded. Luckily, I have a bicycle, so riding it back is the same."
Lin Pengfei, who was already at a loss while waiting, immediately jumped on his bicycle upon hearing this, pushed off hard, and sped away, leaving behind the words, "Director, I'm riding away first."
Everyone was taken aback. Feng Tao and Qian Weixin unconsciously looked at each other again, then quickly looked away.
Lu Yuandao said, "It's not crowded now, how about we ride together?"
"I'll just ride my bicycle back," Qian Weixin said, pushing his bicycle as he prepared to leave.
Director Cai looked at this person and then at that person, realizing that since Officer Lin had left, and he was now the lowest-ranking official, the gossip about the leaders didn't seem so appealing.
With a quick glance, he snatched the bicycle, pushed it, and started running. Then, with agile movements, he glided onto the bike and pedaled hard to catch up with Lin Pengfei.
"Distinguished leaders, I'll be riding off now."
The group froze again, while Lu Yuan chuckled. This Director Cai was quite amusing!
"Alright, that's all for now. Everyone can get on the bus!"
Luo Yaoguo opened the passenger door first and got in.
Lu Yuan laughed even harder. This County Chief Luo was quite interesting. Knowing that the two didn't get along, he still specially reserved the back seat for them.
“Yes, let’s all get in the car quickly,” he said.
“You two go, I’ll stay and watch the car,” Feng Tao and Qian Weixin said in unison.
The two were startled, glared at each other, and then turned their heads away again.
Lu Yuan sighed, wondering why the two grown men were acting so awkwardly.
Luo Yaoguo was a little angry. "Alright, stop wasting time. You two get in the car. I don't need anyone to guard it."
The two reluctantly got into the car, avoiding each other like the plague and sitting close to the door. The not-so-spacious back seat was cleverly made up to make room for a large fat man.
"You two are commune leaders, can you please stop being so shameful? Look at how pretentious you are today, I'm embarrassed for you."
After starting the car, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but start scolding the two of them.
"You two only lost your composure in front of Comrade Lu today. If you were in front of other people, what prestige would you have left?"
"So many years have passed, your superiors and your parents have worried so much about you, what is there to hold onto?"
He was the one who was most worried. He used to be their boss and had a good relationship with their parents. Their parents often asked him to act as a go-between and relay messages, making him a boss, an elder, and a peacemaker all at the same time.
Half of the dozen or so white hairs on his head were turned white because of these two people.
Both remained silent after being reprimanded.
Seeing this, Luo Yaoguo didn't want to put on a solo act, so he directly asked Lu Yuan, "Comrade Lu, do you think what I said makes sense?"
After saying that, he asked again, "By the way, you've heard about what happened between them back then, haven't you?"
This wasn't a secret at all; colleagues at work had loved talking about it for years. Xiao Fan must have heard about it at work, and if Xiao Fan knew, it was the same as Lu Yuan knowing.
Lu Yuan touched his nose and nodded truthfully, "Yes, I've heard a little about it."
Luo Yaoguo, Feng Tao, and Qian Weixin were not surprised, but the two people involved were somewhat embarrassed.
Luo Yaoguo continued, "If you've heard about it, you'll know what happened. Comrade Lu, don't you think this matter should be put behind us?"
Lu Yuan had just thought it would be nice to be a spectator, but he never expected to be dragged out as a judge.
After thinking it over, since he had already been dragged into this, and it was genuinely for the good of the two people involved, he said,
"Actually, I think that Director Qian and Secretary Feng are not unable to let go of what happened back then, nor do they no longer consider each other brothers. Rather, there are some misunderstandings and unresolved issues between them."
The three of them looked at him at the same time.
Luo Yaoguo asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Yuan asked, "Didn't Director Qian and Secretary Feng never have a proper conversation afterward, and did they never lay out what happened back then from beginning to end?"
“Indeed,” Luo Yaoguo said.
Ever since Qian Weixin seized and demoted his female colleague's family, their relationship had become extremely strained. Subsequently, Qian Weixin applied to transfer his job from the county town to Hongxing Commune.
From then on, the two had fewer opportunities to meet. Later, Feng Tao was transferred to the Red Star Commune, and the two had more opportunities to meet, but they would fight whenever they met and never had a proper conversation.
Lu Yuan considered for a moment, then said, "Actually, there are a few things I'm very confused about. If Secretary Feng and Director Qian can help me resolve these doubts, perhaps your doubts will also be resolved."
"Just ask me if you have any questions," Luo Yaoguo said. If he could help the two of them resolve their differences, what did a few questions matter?
Feng Tao and Qian Weixin were also staring intently at him.
Lu Yuan smiled and posed the first question, "First of all, why did Secretary Feng's colleague, Director Qian, strongly oppose it?"
Outsiders only know that Qian Weixin strongly opposed it, but they don't know the real reason.
As soon as Lu Yuan asked the question, before Qian Weixin could say anything, Feng Tao visibly blushed.
When Lu Yuan saw this scene in the rearview mirror, he turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
What's going on? How did its face suddenly turn into a monkey's butt?
Qian Weixin glanced at him suspiciously, and was about to explain when the other person covered his mouth.
"Alright, stop talking."
Lu Yuan and Luo Yaoguo were dumbfounded. What was the reason they couldn't say it out loud?
Qian Weixin pulled Feng Tao's hand away and said irritably, "Even today you're still defending that woman. You can't say anything bad about her, can you?"
Feng Tao was completely bewildered. "What does your reason for opposing it have to do with her?"
"How can it not be her fault? She's no decent woman. She started flirting with me before you two even started dating. She was practically ready to strip naked and climb into my bed, trying to force me to agree to date her. Luckily, I was careful, or she would have succeeded."
Feng Tao's face turned from red to white. "You objected because of this?"
"Not only that, after you started dating, she still wouldn't give up and would always try to flirt with me intentionally or unintentionally. She even said that as long as I agreed to date her, she would break up with you immediately."
Qian Weixin sneered, "Only you would be interested in a woman like this, so fickle and promiscuous, and you won't listen to anything I say."
"That's not because..."
"Why?"
"nothing."
It can't be that he heard from his girlfriend that his good friend objected because he's gay and doesn't want to be in a relationship.
When I heard the news, I was completely stunned. After that, I would avoid my good friend and wouldn't listen to anything he said.
Looking back now... I don't know if it's true or not.
