Chapter 177
As soon as these words fell, the room suddenly became quiet.
The first one to object was Secretary He. He frowned and even opened the big lock on the door without caring about anything and walked into the house.
"Liang Qiurun, do you know what you are talking about?"
The position of director of a meat processing plant is a highly respected position even in the entire capital.
Many people spend their entire lives working as nothing more than a worker. Even if they work harder and are more ambitious, reaching the position of section chief is already the pinnacle.
As for the deputy factory director and factory director, these were not something that ordinary people could achieve. Or even if they could achieve them, it would only be in an ordinary factory.
It is not like a core large factory with abundant profits such as a meat processing plant.
So, when Liang Qiurun said he was resigning from his position as director of the meat processing plant, Secretary He was shocked. "Are you crazy?"
"Can't you really see?"
"The purpose of detaining you this time is not to torture you or to imprison you, but to stop you from reforming."
At this moment, the purpose and truth behind Liang Qiurun's being taken away and detained were completely exposed.
All they want is for him to stop his reforms.
Secretary He knew what kind of person Liang Qiurun was, and the people around him knew even better.
However, there is no way. Although he knows it, what Liang Qiurun is doing now is really contrary to the trend of the times. Similarly, he is also going against the policy.
Liang Qiurun didn't seem surprised by Secretary He's confession. He stood in the narrow and cramped detention room. Only the window on the ceiling shone a faint light from above, completely enveloping Liang Qiurun.
"I know."
Liang Qiurun said calmly, "I've always known."
"But." He walked up to Secretary He, his eyes calm and desperate. "Secretary He, some things have to be done by someone, even if it means dying."
Secretary He took a step back. He looked at Liang Qiurun standing at the junction of light and darkness, feeling a little stunned, helpless and regretful.
"Liang Qiurun, why are you doing this?"
"Why are you getting involved in this mess? Just do your job as director of the meat processing plant. Isn't that enough? You get paid, and so do the people below you. As long as you complete your current work, your mission is accomplished."
"Why do you want to destroy it?"
Liang Qiurun looked up and saw the light outside the window, which was the light shining into the prison cell from outside.
He murmured, "Because I have seen the outside world."
"Having seen the progress being made outside, I clearly understand that if the meat processing plant doesn't reform, it will inevitably fail, close down, and leave thousands of people laid off, displaced, and devastated."
He saw it.
He saw it clearly.
Standing in the mid-1970s, he saw the future trends of the times and development results.
However, before Liang Qiurun could finish his words, Secretary He stepped forward and covered his mouth. There was a hint of shock in his eyes, forcing Liang Qiurun to take several steps back. He lowered his voice and said, "You are crazy."
"Liang Qiurun, are you really crazy? Are you allowed to say these words?"
Liang Qiurun's mouth was covered, but he didn't resist. He even let the other party push him back several steps. Finally, he settled down and looked at the panicked and shocked Secretary He. He lowered his eyes and said, "Old He, this is the first time I will say this, and the last time."
"It goes out from my mouth and ends in your ears."
"Reform and you will live, without reform you will die!"
As for Director Guan, he had already left when Liang Qiurun and Secretary He clashed. Not only did he leave, but he also took Xiao Li with him.
In this battle, it is ultimately theirs.
Even Director Guan is an outsider, he is just a knife in the other party's hand.
When Secretary He heard Liang Qiurun's words, he let go of his hand and looked at Liang Qiurun for a long time.
After all, he was a big shot. He forced himself to calm down and rubbed his face. "Reform is not feasible. If it were, you wouldn't be imprisoned." He took a deep breath and tried to persuade him. "Liang Qiurun, have you thought it through?"
"Are you really going to resign from your position as director of the meat processing plant?"
Liang Qiurun, "Sure."
Secretary He, "No regrets?"
Liang Qiurun, "No regrets."
Secretary He closed his eyes and said, "I approve it."
"Liang Qiurun, you are free."
Liang Qiurun was silent for a moment, then he nodded and turned to go to the palm-sized spring bed to pack his things.
It's really pitiful.
Just a watch and a tie.
He was taken away so suddenly that he didn't have any luggage with him when he arrived.
Liang Qiurun picked up his watch and put it on, then was about to go out. As soon as he walked outside, Secretary He was standing at the door.
It’s obviously still those two people.
But now their situation has changed.
Secretary He stood in the narrow detention room. The sun was setting, and only a little sunlight came in, as if the sun was setting in the west.
The faint light was not enough to dispel the gloom and darkness in the house.
Liang Qiurun stood outside, with large patches of sunlight shining on him. Behind him was the courtyard, and outside was the street, the endless road, and the vast land.
They looked at each other.
No one spoke.
When Liang Qiurun turned around and was about to leave the place where he had been imprisoned for many days.
Secretary He suddenly called out to him, "Liang Qiurun, I'll give you a chance to regret this."
He clearly understood that Liang Qiurun's departure from the meat processing plant was not Liang Qiurun's loss, but the meat processing plant's loss.
No one else can achieve what Liang Qiurun has done.
There will never be a better leader than Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun did not stop or look back, he did not even answer the other party.
This is Liang Qiurun’s answer.
Liang Qiurun will never regret any decision he makes.
Secretary He stood there for a long time as he watched Liang Qiurun walk away with such determination. He pinched his brows and said, "Liang Qiurun."
"Do you really think the meat processing plant will stop functioning if you leave?"
"Let me tell you, there are so many people who want to be the director of the meat processing plant. Even without you, the meat processing plant will still be fine."
Unfortunately, Liang Qiurun had already left, so he couldn't hear these words. Of course, even if he heard them, he wouldn't care.
When a person reaches this stage, he will let go completely.
Fame and wealth are nothing but external things, fleeting.
What is truly important in a person's life is his family. Let his family and loved ones live a peaceful, ordinary, down-to-earth life without worries or pressure, and without worrying about material things.
This is what Liang Qiurun wants to do.
He left cleanly and decisively without any regrets.
He didn't even go back to the meat processing plant, the place where he had given everything.
After Liang Qiurun walked out of the committee's gate, he planned to go home directly, but he didn't expect that Jiang Meishu was still waiting for him outside.
No.
Not waiting for him.
But waiting for the almost slim hope.
To be honest, when Jiang Meishu saw Liang Qiurun, she was a little shocked, "Lao Liang?"
She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrongly, "Lao Liang, is that you?"
During the week that Liang Qiurun was taken away, Jiang Meishu had imagined meeting him countless times, but it didn't happen, not even once.
Meeting through the window this afternoon was the only time Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun had met in recent days.
Liang Qiurun looked at Jiang Meishu, who was worried about losing something. His heart shrank. Then, without any hesitation, he strode forward and hugged her.
"It's me."
"I'm back."
After hearing this, Jiang Meishu could no longer hold back her tears. She raised her hands and pounded on his chest, "Why did you come back just now?"
She felt wronged, sad, worried and scared.
"You know, I'm scared."
"I'm afraid I'll never see you again in this life."
"Lao Liang."
She cried, and her tears fell on the back of Liang Qiurun's hand. The hot tears seemed to flow into Liang Qiurun's heart.
The heat made his heart tighten.
"Won't."
He ignored everyone's gazes, hugged her, held her tightly, and kissed her forehead over and over again, "No, I promised you that I would come out."
"Jiang Jiang, I promised you."
Those repeated words, at this moment, became the best tranquilizer for Jiang Meishu.
It declared Liang Qiurun's safety over and over again, and also declared that Jiang Meishu could finally let go of her worried heart.
She is now.
Jiang Meishu felt like she was dreaming. When she woke up, Liang Qiurun was by her side, which made her feel unprecedentedly at ease.
"Lao Liang."
Jiang Meishu pulled his hand and looked at him eagerly, "Why don't you stop working? Just stay at home. The money we have is enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives."
Their family now has more than 100,000 yuan in savings.
As long as you don't do anything reckless, buy a house steadily and make some small investments, these hundred thousand will soon become millions or tens of millions.
She can afford to support Liang Qiurun.
Jiang Meishu, who once planned to run away at any time, has now taken on the responsibility of the family, and her plan for the second half of her life includes Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun sat at the head of the bed, his handsome features appearing hazy under the light. He stroked Jiang Meishu's chin and asked, "If I don't go to work, how can I support you?"
Jiang Meishu sat up suddenly. She looked at him with a serious look in her eyes, "I don't need you to support me. I can support myself, and I can also support you."
"Lao Liang, really, I can really support you."
She took out her passbook and handed it to him, saying, "Our family has money."
"Would you mind not going to work?"
She looked up at him, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows filled with panic, which was the aftereffect.
Liang Qiurun noticed this detail and felt heartbroken. It was his fault, because he was the one who caused it. After realizing this, Liang Qiurun felt an unprecedented sense of guilt and sadness.
He stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Meishu in his arms.
Their eyes met.
Liang Qiurun said, "Okay."
The sound was so soft that it almost disappeared into the room.
But Jiang Meishu was quick to notice it. She looked up in surprise and asked, "You agreed? You promised me? You won't work anymore?"
Liang Qiurun nodded and gently fixed her hair. "I quit."
"I quit my job at the meat processing plant."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Meishu suddenly hugged him and sobbed in his arms, thinking of the loneliness of those nights, the embarrassment of asking for help, and the panic of not being able to see anyone.
At this moment, it was vented out in an instant.
She cried loudly and sobbed like a child, as if she wanted to cry out all the fear she had experienced during this period.
Liang Qiurun felt sad when he heard this. At this moment, the man who had never known what tears were.
My eyes were also red.
He just patted Jiang Meishu's back again and again, "No, it won't happen again."
"Wherever you are, I will be there, and we will be together forever."
Outside.
Liang's mother originally wanted to knock on the door and call them to eat, but when she reached the door, she heard wailing from inside the house.
She paused and immediately withdrew her hand that was about to knock on the door.
Liang Rui came over at this time, "Isn't my dad up yet?"
His father always gets up at around five o'clock, and it's already eleven o'clock, and he hasn't shown up yet.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang's mother shushed him. She didn't say anything, but just pulled Liang Rui away, leaving Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu at the door.
After they walked away, she whispered, "Let them sleep for a while."
Liang Rui noticed something and whispered, "Was that my stepmother crying just now?"
He heard the crying, it was too sad and too upsetting.
Liang's mother hummed, "She is crying."
"During the days your father was arrested, your stepmother went everywhere looking for help. I'm afraid she didn't get a good night's sleep during the week he was gone."
"Let them stay together for a while and don't disturb them."
Liang Rui nodded and looked back. He could still faintly hear crying from his parents' room through the door and window.
The eyes and eyebrows that had always been rebellious and unruly now looked a bit more mature and steady.
"My stepmother was terrified this time."
"But," Liang Rui whispered, "my stepmother is really good to my dad."
During the week his father was arrested, the Liang family was deserted, and all the flattery from the past disappeared during that week.
Some people even came to ridicule him.
The Liang family collapsed.
Some people even maliciously speculated that Liang Qiurun would probably go to jail after being taken away in such an accident. He married a wife who was so much younger than her, so he might run away with another man.
After all, when Liang Qiurun married Jiang Meishu, so many people were watching.
One of them is after money, the other one is after sex.
One seeks power, the other seeks youth.
But when the Liang family encountered difficulties and Liang Qiurun's life or death was unknown and his future was uncertain, Jiang Meishu not only did not leave, but instead went around and asked for help from people with connections.
These are not just seen by outsiders.
Even the people in the Liang family saw it, so Liang Rui said that.
After listening to this, Liang's mother nodded and said, "Yes, she is a good one."
"It's your father's blessing to meet your stepmother in this life."
This is for Liang Rui to hear.
Liang Rui, now nineteen years old, was no longer the little boy he used to be. He was no longer as sharp as before. He just hummed softly, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."
The once flamboyant and rebellious Liang Rui.
He also started using honorifics when speaking.
I also realized that I was reflecting on myself and could better understand the implicit meaning of Liang's mother's words.
Liang's mother looked at him with some surprise, but more of a sense of relief. "Good, good, you've grown up a lot."
Those rebelliousness and arrogance eventually dissipated in the years of growing up.
Liang Rui only felt bitter in his heart, wishing he could grow up earlier.
Then if something happened to his father, would he not be so helpless?
Impotent rage.
He could never have imagined everything his stepmother could do for his father.
And he was still very weak.
Liang Rui looked back at the window and listened to the crying coming from inside. He thought it was time for him to grow up.
He should also grow into a towering tree and provide a support for his parents.
He hopes that when he encounters such a crisis in the future, he can stand up and run between the relationships. He also hopes that he can use his abilities to protect them.
Solve all their problems for them.
In a place that Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun didn't see, the child who once gave them a headache was also growing up and thinking of using his own methods to protect him.
After Jiang Meishu finished crying, she felt better. Seeing Liang Qiurun's cotton coat covered with her tears and snot, she felt a little embarrassed.
Covering face.
Liang Qiurun was calm and took a basin of hot water to wash her face. "It's okay as long as you cry. It's okay."
"We're already an old married couple, Jiang Jiang. I never care about these things."
In his eyes, Jiang Meishu is always beautiful.
She looks pretty when she smiles.
She looks good even when she cries.
Looks good when he loses his temper.
She looks good even when she acts coquettishly.
Jiang Meishu blushed a little. She washed her face, put on perfume, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you really going to resign?"
It seems like I just thought of this question now.
Liang Qiurun hummed, "I've already spoken to Secretary He. I just need to go back to the company and complete the resignation procedures."
Jiang Meishu hugged him and said sullenly, "Will you be sad, Lao Liang?"
Wouldn't it be sad to leave suddenly the place where I have worked for so many years and put in so much effort?
Jiang Meishu is always so delicate, and she can always empathize with Liang Qiurun's most vulnerable parts.
This made Liang Qiurun a little dazed, but more of it was softness. He evenly rubbed the fragrance on every part of her, pushing it away bit by bit.
Then he said softly, "Yes."
“There will be disappointment and there will be sadness.”
"It's just Jiang Jiang." He said calmly, "All that work, all that disappointment, all that emotion, compared to you, seems insignificant."
He made this decision when he saw Jiang Meishu crying uncontrollably, frightened and terrified.
At that moment, Liang Qiurun thought that he was such a failure as a husband.
Jiang Meishu paused, holding his hand, unable to utter a word.
Even at this time, Liang Qiurun still had the energy to tease her, "If I quit, I'll be without a job, without a salary, without the car I used to have at my disposal, and Secretary Chen won't be following me anymore."
"Jiang Jiang, will it be..." He didn't finish his words.
He was interrupted by Jiang Meishu. She raised her hand to cover his mouth, her eyes clear and her tone serious, "You are the most important."
"Liang Qiurun, you are the most important."
"I don't care if you have a salary, a car, or a secretary."
"Liang Qiurun, you are enough for me."
Jiang Meishu only realized this truth this time. It was only after the accident that she realized how important Liang Qiurun had become in her life.
The most touching confession in the world is just this.
Liang Qiurun hugged her without saying a word. At this moment, any more words would be meaningless.
He just felt lucky.
I am glad to meet Jiang Meishu in this life.
It is his greatest luck.
Liang Qiurun stayed at home with Jiang Meishu for two days before going to the company to complete his resignation procedures. By the time he arrived, word had spread throughout the factory that Director Liang was leaving.
He's in trouble and he's leaving.
Many people came to see him that day. Liang Qiurun arrived at this time. As soon as he came down, the workers surrounded him.
"Director Liang, are you leaving?"
"Director Liang, can't you stay?"
"Last time, your wife asked us to sign a petition. If that's not enough, we can go with you to your leader. We can all help you prove your case."
"Prove that there's nothing wrong with you."
Liang Qiurun looked at these familiar faces, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and then he became calm again.
"Thank you, everyone."
"But no, I'm leaving."
"Take care, everyone."
He had tried to save the workers' future, but in vain.
His own strength was too limited, and he almost lost his family.
Looking at them, Liang Qiurun felt sad. He was sad that he couldn't help them, just like he couldn't help himself.
This was the first setback Liang Qiurun encountered in his 36 years of life.
He doesn't have that much ability.
The only ones he can protect are his lover and family.
No matter how many there are, he can’t protect them.
He tried, but failed.
Liang Qiurun didn't dare and couldn't look into these people's eyes. He could only hurriedly push through the crowd and go to the office.
When he arrived, Secretary Chen was waiting for him inside.
This was the first time that Secretary Chen did not go to pick him up.
But wait for him inside.
In the factory director's office, which was always clean and tidy without a trace of dirt, Secretary Chen was sitting in his chair smoking a cigarette.
This is the first time.
It will also be the last time.
Liang Qiurun came in and frowned slightly at the thick smell of cigarettes in the office. Secretary Chen noticed it and stood up, stubbed out his cigarette, walked up to Liang Qiurun, and whispered, "Do you really have to leave?"
Liang Qiurun hummed, "I'll go through the resignation procedures."
Secretary Chen paused, a pleading look on his face. "Can you please not leave?"
"Leader, I know you. You have ambitions and dreams, as well as abilities and responsibilities. Can I, on behalf of the 1,070 people at the meat processing plant, please, please don't leave?"
The leader is gone.
The meat processing plant was disbanded.
The things he said will come true faster than the facts.
Secretary Chen knew clearly that no one cared about the meat processing plant more than Liang Qiurun. No one cared about these workers more than Liang Qiurun.
Liang Qiurun looked at Secretary Chen like this and closed his eyes. "Sorry, I can't."
He has his own weaknesses.
He could no longer devote himself to the factory until his death as he had done before.
This was the first time Liang Qiurun chose his lover over his work.
When Secretary Chen heard this answer, his face turned pale. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to keep the other party.
Liang Qiurun stared at him, "Chen Zhen, will you come with me this time?"
