fire rescue

Dinner was thoughtfully arranged at a well-known private restaurant in this city.

At first, because the restaurant was well concealed, the decoration was upscale, and the location was unobtrusive, it won the favor of leaders from all walks of life in Lingquan City.Over time, it became famous, but it was tacitly understood by everyone, no one really talked about a meal, and later it became everyone's first choice for eating.

Bai Hewei came here a few times when he was still in the Municipal Bureau, and felt that the dishes were not to his liking, and it was a long way from here, so he didn't bother to patronize again.He drove Shen Xin to the place familiar with the way, got off the car and went straight to the reserved private room.The decoration here is quite antique and romantic, Shen Xin made a tsk-tsk sound and said, "You said that you have been the leader for so many years, and you took me to Zhu Di's old dilapidated Sichuan restaurant as soon as I came here, and you didn't even mention taking me. Come here and enjoy."

Bai Hewei said with a smile: "I think the taste here is not as good as Judy's, and we can still get together. Next time you come, I will definitely bring you here."

Shen Xin waved her hand, "I can't enjoy such a high-end place, one meal or two is enough."

While talking, they found the private room and opened the door to enter. Zhou Zhi and Xing Changqing were already sitting inside.

Shen Xin knew Xing Changqing from the beginning, except for the teacher-student relationship in the school, when he was still working in the design institute, he could occasionally get in touch with him; as for Zhou Zhi, Shen Xin had heard and met him, but he didn't have much contact with him.The atmosphere is never awkward, and the men start to have friendship after smoking two cigarettes and drinking a few times.

Bai Hewei didn't intend to drink at first, but Zhou Zhi asked for a replacement driver, opened a bottle of liquor and filled the glass in front of him, and Shen Xin, who was not driving, couldn't escape.

Zhou Zhi picked up the cup and said, "There are no outsiders at the table. Everyone is in the same system. They are either masters or apprentices. If a bone is broken, the tendons are still connected. Come on, I'll drink first!" Zhou Zhi raised his head and took a sip. A glass of white wine was directly poured into half a glass, and no one present was confused, and they all took a big gulp.

After choking on the liquor, Bai Hewei suddenly felt his chest burning. Zhou Zhi took a bite of food and said to Bai Hewei: "Director Xing has been nagging me today, saying that there is a lack of a helper around me. The director is optimistic about you, He Wei, do you have any ideas? The lifeless atmosphere at the grassroots level is not suitable for you, why not go to Zhangzhou."

Xing Changqing also said: "It is indeed the case. These young people around me are either too impetuous or have no work experience and are too tiring to carry. I have been thinking about this since I returned from Lingquan last time. .”

Shen Xin heard it, and immediately agreed: "I didn't want He Wei to go back to Lingquan back then. Later, I left the design institute and told He Wei to work together. He just pushed back and refused to leave the system. Actually, I still think about it now.”

Bai Hewei was very surprised. He never thought that the good thing Zhou Zhi said would be such an opportunity. He had to admit that it was very rare, and he was also moved, but... thinking of his father, he retreated. I don't want to have any conflict with the old man at home.So he said: "Uncle Zhou, you know, I have never been able to make decisions about my affairs."

Zhou Zhi said, "Your father is going to Suizhou soon, how can he control you."

Bai Hewei smiled bitterly and said: "He is the Tathagata Buddha, and I am the Monkey King in his palm. He wanted to get me to Suizhou before, but I didn't agree. It just so happened that the inspection team was delayed here. As for what he wants to do now? I don’t even dare to guess.” Speaking of his father, Bai Hewei always had endless complaints, he couldn’t tell others, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Zhou Zhi sighed and said, "Your father's desire to control you is something ordinary people can't understand." He turned around and explained to Xing Changqing, "He Wei's father is the deputy mayor of Lingquan. He Wei was transferred from the Municipal Bureau to Beicheng. Father's arrangements, it can be said that Mayor Lu Bai has arranged every step of his life well. But He Wei is not the kind of person who can't live without a crutch, he just can't rest assured."

Xing Changqing didn't care about it: "The province is a good development platform, which is different from Lingquan. If it is arranged through the organization, I don't think it is a problem. I will leave this matter to me. Come on, drink." , raised his glass.

After the meal was over, Bai Hewei drank a lot again, Shen Xin saw that he was so virtuous, so she simply took a taxi back to the hotel by herself, Bai Hewei didn't bother to find a substitute driver, so she stopped a taxi by the side of the road In the car, he asked the driver to drive to Changchun Town when he was drunk and dizzy. This seemed to be a conditioned reflex.

Halfway through the journey, there was no car on the dark road. Bai Hewei was still wondering why he hadn't arrived home after so long. He sat up and asked the driver, only to be told where they were going.He sighed, rubbed his aching temples, and said to the driver apologetically, "Please, please go back to the city."

The driver mumbled a few words, showing displeasure, but thinking about the high fare, he didn't complain anymore.

During this period of time, Bai Hewei never made a phone call to Zheng Yi. After all, we are all adults. If we get together, we will get together and if we don’t, we will separate. He has nothing to worry about, but once there is pressure, the first time It seems that the habit of looking for Zheng Yi to vent out can't be changed all at once.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped downstairs. Bai Hewei paid the money and staggered upstairs. The moment he opened the door, he suddenly felt very tired of his current life.He hates the persecution of his parents, he doesn't like Shi Jiaonan's decorated house that much, and he hates the endless repetitive work day after day... It's like he is wearing a mask to live, he really needs a change of environment, Xing Changqing and The blueprint he drew is like a delicious and tempting pie in front of him. It looks delicious, but he just doesn't know the taste.

Bai Hewei didn't wash up, and climbed directly into bed. His past years played back and forth in his mind like a movie.He was like a bystander, watching the scenes calmly, and felt that he was like a puppet hung up by his father along the way, and he could play with it in any way, but it just looked glamorous to outsiders.But what should my life be like?Bai Hewei didn't even have any idea, and was full of talent and ambition. Only the years of studying in Zhangzhou were the most real.

As the night fell, Bai Hewei fell into a coma. Before going to sleep, he made a decision to find a time to have a good talk with his father, hoping to have a good result.

Another two weeks passed, and Zheng Yi counted the days, every minute and every second made him sad.He hadn't contacted Bai Hewei for a long time, and the name on the call list was almost squeezed out by new calls one after another.Qi Feng asked him to get Cui Zhendong's logging certificate today. He was still thinking about a question on the way to the city, whether he could see Bai Hewei.

He didn't dare to knock on the door of Bai Hewei's office as before. He took something from the Lin Zheng Section and looked up the stairs for a while, but he didn't have the courage to go upstairs to find Bai Hewei.Zheng Yi went downstairs slowly. Before reaching the first floor, footsteps came from upstairs. Bai Hewei's voice rang out along with the footsteps, "Have you brought the GPS? Have you brought all the materials..."

This sound made Zheng Yi's heart beat wildly, but he subconsciously quickened his pace, dazed, stepped on the ground, and fell down from the stairs with a few steps left, his ass fell hard pain.His embarrassment was finally seen by Bai Hewei. Bai Hewei only gave him a strange, even mocking look, and then strode past him without turning his head. He opened the door and left.

Zheng Yi scolded himself that he deserved it, got up and rubbed his butt, the doorman came out of the house and asked him if he was okay, he shook his head, staring at Bai Hewei's figure from the glass door until he got into the car.After all, Bai Hewei didn't want to talk to him, and Zheng Yi began to accept this indisputable fact.

Back in the car, Zheng Yi tried his best to keep calm and called Cui Zhendong to inform him that the tree could be planted. He smoked a cigarette to calm his mind before driving away.

He knew that Bai Hewei was like fireworks, once it was brilliant in his life, it would disappear without even leaving any traces.

Zheng Yi had been busy all day, and when he came home in the evening, three dishes and one soup were already on the dining table, and his mother was watching TV in the living room.Zheng Yi's butt was still hurting, so he went back to the bedroom and put the bag away to find the plaster in the drawer under the TV cabinet.

"What's wrong?" his mother asked him.

"I fell down today."

"Where did you fall? Is it heavy? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Mother asked with concern.

Zheng Yi said: "I went to the bureau to get the materials, and when I went downstairs, I stepped on the stairs, nothing happened."

Chu Hongxia became vigilant and asked him, "Did you... go to the Forestry Bureau?"

Zheng Yi heard the change in his mother's tone, stood up, and felt guilty for no reason, "I, I just went to the Forestry Administration to do something."

Bai Hewei is a tacit taboo between their mother and son, and they will become particularly sensitive just by mentioning related words.

Chu Hongxia was silent for a moment, but she didn't say those three words, and she didn't seem to see any signs of lying on her son's face, so she said, "It's done, wash your hands and eat."

Recently, the activity of introducing partners several times a week has been restrained, and his mother no longer talks about it every day in a nervous way. I don't know if it is because Zheng Yi went to the Forestry Bureau to stimulate her, so she started talking about it again. Let him meet the girl he introduced last week.

Zheng Yi really didn't want to make his mother angry, so he vaguely agreed, still thinking about how to avoid this kind of unwilling blind date.After eating, he went back to his room, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Kang Jiabei, who had disappeared for a long time, called at this time and asked him out for a barbecue.

The weather is getting hotter, and the barbecue stalls on the roadside have begun to take shape. Zheng Yi didn't want to stare at his mother at home, so he readily agreed.In addition, he wanted to drink to relieve the depression in his heart, so he went out under the urging of his mother to let him go home earlier, took a taxi and went straight to the appointed place.
