Beat Generation

During this month, Zhuang Mei, who was detained in Wu's house without leaving the gate, did not know the real situation of the outside world. Before going abroad, Wu's mother had specially asked her not to discuss it in any public or private occasions. , Politics, whatever other people say and ask, just change the topic and chat casually.Zhuang Mei only knows that the north will unite to crack down on smuggling and tax evasion in the south. The tax rates for the south may be doubled, some old taxes will be replaced with new ones, and nearly [-] new taxes will be added.

This is a much higher tax rate than everyone expected earlier, and before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there were local agreements between the North and the South, and some places could exempt relevant taxes and fees. Now these agreements signed by the previous leaders have become a dead letter. Economists in the south have already expressed their concerns about the future economic situation in the south in the media, while economists in the north have severely criticized the South, which has made a fortune in silence, has closed its doors and eaten too much Tang monk meat, and is not afraid of choking to death on the road of immortality. on the way.

Zhuang Mei's father is a "pro-southern faction". The south is rich in water and soil. There is a land of fish and rice in one city, and there are many shopping malls and ports. There are eight provinces in the south, of which four and a half provinces border the North Country. The entire South Country is an island with a name. More than half of them are in the south. During the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to restore the vitality of the south, which was the most severely burned by the war, many policies were made in favor of the south. For the first time, he resolved the disputes between the North and the South and gradually emerged from the lifeless northern political and political circles.

There are only five provinces in the north, one of which is located on the border, and the remaining four provinces are under the feet of the emperor. They are not inferior to the south in terms of wealth and prosperity.

Zhuang Mei always remembered that his father, who would go to Jiangnan every year, would always hold a folding fan and say to his mother slowly, Ah He, it was a shot at the door and the wrong door. The martyrs should build the capital in the south. right!My father often said that after retirement, he would go to the south to spend the rest of his life. He had seen enough wind, frost, rain and snow in the north, and he would go to a water village in the south of the Yangtze River to count the flowers and flowers in the garden.

Speaking of smuggling and tax evasion, Zhuang Mei was the first to think of Wen Xi, an expert in this field; and Zhuang Mei, the drafter who will set up a special team to go deep into the south to catch smuggling, and even implement the first wave of tax increase policy, is Zhuang Mei. Mae immediately thought of Zhan Banbi who was supposed to be involved.

Zhuang Mei remembered that the night before they left Shazhou, Zhan had told her that when they returned to the capital, she might spend a month in the government building and would not have time to accompany her for the time being.

--------------

Since Wu Ershan didn't return for three days, he didn't sleep outside anymore. He went out early in the morning every day and came back before the sun went down at night. After going on, after all, the endless silence was slowly dissolved in a meal.

Zhuang Mei asked Mo Li, Wu Tiantian is like this, has he already served as the vice president of the company and started to manage the Wu family's business affairs?

Mo Li didn't answer, and let Zhuang Mei ask herself.

Zhuang Mei opened her mouth to ask, and Wu would ask back: "So you still have me in your heart, I thought you only thought about how inseparable the fight between Xiao Huanxi and our Director Zhan is now?"

When she said this, Zhuang Mei stopped talking and went to eat with her head down. Wu brought her some food and reassured her. Hold on, no one will be the first to criticize. There will be a lot of fun in the future."

Zhuang Mei became more and more ashamed. She put down the bowls and chopsticks and lost her appetite. Wu raised her chin and saw her little wife's eyes were wide open, as if she had been wronged by the sky. Wu laughed, "Paper can't contain fire." Yes, once the tongue of fire licks through that layer of paper, this paper, no matter how airtight and oily it was before, the gap will only get bigger and bigger until the paper is burned after enjoying the raging enthusiasm to ashes."

"You're angry, so you just pissed me off? Why do you torture me like this, with thorns in your words!" Zhuang Mei's cheeks were flushed, she didn't want to ask about Wen Wen Zhan this time, she only asked Wu Zai out of her heart Nothing to do outside.

"This is just the most obvious truth. Whatever you have done yourself, you have to bear the consequences. If you go out to be romantic, you have to bear the romantic debt. If you want to be romantic, you are not afraid to bear all the burdens derived from it. This is not right. possible."

This sentence angered Zhuang Mei all of a sudden, she stood up and said to Wu: "I am willing to bear the consequences of my going out for affairs, I am sorry for you, let's get a divorce!"

Wu just smiled and picked up the goblet, took a sip of the red wine, "The big taboo of going out for flirting is to let your partner know. This is the rule of the game of marriage. You open your eyes and see clearly that the person who will marry you is I, Wu Ershan, you clearly know that it is easy to marry someone like me, but it is very difficult to divorce. If you insist on doing this, we may have to fight for decades. I really don’t want us to become like that , I believe you are too."

What Wu Ershan said was not an exaggeration. Zhuang Mei knew too well what it meant for people like them to marry in black and white in front of the whole world.

Zhuang Mei took a step back, and she looked at Wu with almost sad eyes, "Ershan, what do you want me to do?"

"I love you. I hope you will give me a chance to understand what is going on in your heart?"

"You don't want to know....Ershan, I..." Zhuang Mei clenched her lower lip and knelt gently in front of Wu Ershan. She picked up Wu's hand, "We have been the best since childhood Friends, you know me, you know who I am, I don't want to hurt you, it hurts me to hurt you."

"Oh, I've got a nice girl right in front of me, and I know full well that if she'll open up to me, we'll be better together. Tell me why I'm giving up one... it's gonna be better Girl?" Wu lowered his head and stared deeply at Zhuang Mei, "I hope you will give me a chance to let me know, what do you want? What can I do to make you happy?... We all grow up It's over, the previous things are over, I hope you can hold my hand naturally like before, and don't let go."

Wu Ershan held Zhuang Mei's hand, and gently stroked the back of her hand, "If you accidentally let go, remember to hold it again."

Zhuang Mei shook her head: "It's been five years, Er Shan, you don't know what kind of life I've lived these five years?..."

"You tell me."

Zhuang Mei shook her head again: "I can't. You don't want to know."

"what do you want?"

Zhuang Mei stood up, and she also took a sip of the red wine, "I want..."

"Okay. If you want to be free, then within my ability, I can give you relative freedom. I hope you understand that absolute freedom does not exist." Wu Ershan hugged Zhuang Mei from behind, and Zhuang Mei returned When they turned their heads, the two looked at each other, and Wu whispered in Zhuang Mei's ear, "These days have bored you to death, so I'll take you out to play at night."

After dark, Wu Ershan drove Zhuang Mei to [Baijun Prince's Mansion], the doorman wearing gold gloves ran over to open the door for them, and another foreign doorman wearing a round cap came to park for them.

The [Baijun Wangfu] under the cover of dense ancient cypresses has lost the heavy sense of history in the daytime. It has been decorated, and the door is surrounded by flowers that are about to overflow. Open the door and go in, and lift the heavy curtain. You can see the tables full of chatting and laughing guests that form a sea of ​​lights.

Passionate Latin music whirls on the strings, and the center of the dance floor is full of masked dancers whirling alone. They are distributing joy and comfort to everyone present with every gesture. Some men have already seen the dancers. Dazed, with a wine glass in his hand, he looked at each of them dumbly.

Wu Ershan just pulled Zhuang Mei through those dancers. Zhuang Mei took a slow step and was surrounded by those dancers. Wu smiled and let go. Zhuang Mei had to wait for the dance to end. Surrounding Zhuang Mei like this, he circled around non-stop!

In this dazzlingly beautiful vortex, Zhuang Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she felt that the expression on her face must be ugly... Finally, as soon as the dance was over, Wu immediately pulled her out of the vortex.

At this time, many people who knew Wu Ershan came over to say hello.

"Hi Ershan, you're late."

"Who is the little beauty beside you?"

"Why did you make her cover her face? Is she a dancer too?"

Wu Ershan brought Zhuang Mei a glass of juice, and she asked for a glass of tequila herself.

"She is my little lady."

There was a burst of screaming from the crowd, and someone blew a long whistle. At this time, the sound of the music was getting louder. Wu symbolically introduced Zhuang Mei to her friends. Zhuang Mei basically knew each other. Many people talked to her. Mae couldn't hear clearly either. Many people clinked glasses with her, and she slightly lifted the veil to take a sip. Slowly, she found that these former friends began to look at her with inquiring eyes.

The first to bear the brunt was Bao Yuexi, the daughter of Bao Dingyan, the director of the Bureau of Cultural Affairs. She stood beside Zhuang Mei and kept talking to her. Embarrassed, but she still maintained the most basic politeness on the surface, and later, she simply stopped talking, trying to hide herself behind Wu.

Wu sensed her discomfort, so he pulled her into the dance floor. After a cha-cha, the two hugged each other and danced slowly. Zhuang Mei leaned on Wu, still unable to avoid more and more curious eyes. She felt that these people He had "torn off" her veil a long time ago, and was looking at her with an extremely strange look.

This look made Zhuang Mei feel ashamed and ashamed, she leaned against Wu's ear.

"When will you take me out of here?"

"What are you doing in such a hurry? The night has just begun."

"I want to go home..."

"Play for a while."

Wu took Zhuang Mei to meet some new friends. These new friends knew nothing about Bo Mei in the past.

The atmosphere of this party is getting more and more intense, Zhuang Mei is gradually infected, and gradually relaxes, she no longer drinks fruit juice, picks up spirits instead, and no longer talks, she just says what others ask, Wu Ershan Looking at her with a smile across the candlelight, they kissed several times in front of everyone.

Bao Yuexi kept hitting a wall in the first half, but in the second half, seeing Mrs. Wu had let go, she went up to invite her to dance. Wu hesitated, but still nodded.

At first, she danced restrainedly, but with the continuous beating of dense drums, Bao Yuexi put her arms around Zhuang Mei's waist, Zhuang Mei frowned uncomfortably, and Bao Yuexi said leisurely: "You are very similar to me. a friend of mine."

"Is it."

When the next rhythm came, Zhuang Mei escaped from Bao Yuexi's arms smoothly. She stepped on a few beats before turning and leaving the dance floor, leaving Bao Yuexi standing there alone in a daze.

Zhuang Mei didn't go to Wu Ershan, but covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom. She was drinking too much and wanted to vomit. She knocked down many lingering couples and attracted some slander.

The door closed with a "bang", Zhuang Mei sat on the toilet, she lifted the veil, and saw that the red lips were already biting to the point of bleeding, she clenched her fists, and sat for a while, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Someone came to knock on the door of the cubicle, she was startled again, but she still kept silent, tears flowed silently, she never thought that seeing these familiar friends, her heart would be so complicated.

This feeling is too frustrating. Zhuang Mei used to be above these people, but now, she feels that she is far below these people. She is completely different from them. She hates this most basic and normal social activity. She also didn't like to talk to these former classmates and friends. Every time she said a word to them, Zhuang Mei felt a pang in her heart.

Let's end it soon... Zhuang Mei covered her face, and she couldn't help crying out in her heart.

However, the night was still long, and the music and music were coming. When Zhuang Mei came out of the bathroom, the lights dimmed, and the exotic style came down to the table. Layers of curtains and palace lanterns were hung up. Chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere, making people forget Jinxi and Xixi when they are in it, and the two dancers who are secretly dancing on the dance floor are wearing tulle-like green shirts, and they become one person at a time, and then split into two people at a time.

When Zhuang Mei was confused, her hand was held, and she turned around abruptly, and Zhuang Mei was hugged by the visitor.

"Where have you been? I can't find you anywhere."

The person who came was Wu Ershan. She held a white porcelain wine jug in her hand and took three sips with her head raised.

"..."

Wu smiled and pulled her forward, she insisted on peeling off a clump of green bamboo in front of her, entered the corridor, and found a private room with a slightly hidden door.

Zhuang Mei opened her eyes wide, only to see two people standing in the private room. At first glance, they looked like Wen Xi and Zhan Banbi in stature.

The author has something to say: After the melee, many readers behaved differently. If you have any doubts, don't hold back, just ask them.
