Golden Pink Building

Chapters 138 and 139

Bai Shaoyi immediately sat up straight and looked at Zhao Zhongshu in disbelief. The pride and ambition in his heart were gone, replaced by fear and worry.The secretary next to Dean Wang!How dare a secretary do so many things?Corruption of project funds is actually nothing in normal times.The current trend is like this, even if there is a new person, it will still be the same.The standard of a good official is just a matter of greed and greed. It really needs to be calculated on a needle-by-needle basis. Officials who can do nothing wrong are probably more cherished than rare animals.Such is the atmosphere, what else can it do.It's just that Meng Qinglian's case involved military defense.The most important thing is that the government clearly issued an order, stipulating how many kinds of people's livelihood materials cannot be sold casually, let alone bought outside the customs.Here, Meng Qinglian can turn over the freshly harvested grain from the countryside to make a profit.There are also smuggled guns, and drug trafficking, all of which are beheaded for a living.If it wasn't for the backing, how could Meng Qinglian dare to do this, but the mystery was revealed, and Bai Shaoyi couldn't believe that his backing actually went straight to heaven.

Seeing Bai Shaoyi's hesitation and worry, Zhao Zhongshu was busy comforting his old friend: "Tsk tsk, I'm angry with the scholar, and now I'm scared. It's okay, you can rest assured that things won't get out of hand, and we can gain both fame and fortune. Actually, I didn't I want to understand, but after thinking about it carefully, I think your idea is right. Leaving aside the principle of serving the country and family, this case is an opportunity for us. You can rest assured that the matter will be kept confidential, but the matter must be kept secret. It's been kept a secret."

Bai Shaoyi looked at his friend in surprise, he felt that during the few days he and Zhao Zhongshu were together on official business, Bai Shaoyi couldn't understand Zhao Zhongshu more and more.Keep it secret?Bai Shaoyi stared deeply at Zhao Zhongshu, does he want to exchange this information with someone? "Don't even try to make an exchange. The basis of the transaction is that the two parties are basically equal. Who are we? I won't talk about it, but you are also a small person in front of the dean. You have to be careful, don't think you are caught If you take advantage of other people's shortcomings, you can charge a lot of money, and finally make them angry, who else can keep you?"

Why do you think so?Of course I know my identity, and the matter can't be further investigated after the investigation. People can come out and say that the people around them are breaking the law, and I am also kept in the dark as a victim.In the end, he fought back and kicked out the scapegoat first to appease the public anger.What have we become.I mean, we're going to take advantage of this powerful situation to get the most out of it.See if I'm polluted by assets too.Zhao Zhongshu thought he was humorous, and smiled at Bai Shaoyi.

Bai Shaoyi raised her eyebrows and asked Zhao Zhongshu to continue.Zhao Zhongshu stood up from behind the huge desk, walked around the office, and finally stopped in front of the big bookcase.He looked at the contents of the cabinet with his hands behind his back, and suddenly found something. He opened the door of the cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine: "I haven't drunk for a long time, how about we have a few drinks today?"

The two were sitting on the sofa, holding wine glasses each. Bai Shaoyi shook the wine glass and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a good wine, a 30-year-old Burgundy dry red. It was an excellent year, and it is said that the wine was made Red wine has the aroma of flowers, I drank it once too, I heard that that batch of wine has been treasured for a long time, and it just appeared on the market recently. You are very quick, and you got started." Bai Shaoyi held up the wine glass carefully Tasting, expressed surprise.

"You like a box given to you! This one was also delivered to your door. Do you remember when we watched the shepherd herd the sheep in the English countryside? The real master of the pasture is the shepherd, followed by the sheepdog, and the sheep are guarded by the sheepdog, and the fox And wolves are coveting the weak lambs in the flock at any time. The current situation depends on what we do. If we want to expose it directly, we are the foxes and wolves that everyone shouts and beats because we broke the rules of the game. Guangzhou Over there, it seems that their flags and drums are quiet, and they are surrendering to the central government. In fact, they are not satisfied with the benefits they are getting now, and they are looking for opportunities to make random troubles. No matter what, people say that the chief executive and his followers are all state officials. One Opening their mouths about corruption, reselling, and even collaborating with the enemy are state officials. How can you make the chairman face it? We expose the matter, how is the domestic public opinion? There must be rebellious parties and dissidents attacking the central government with this matter, we Even if all the officials in the government are brought out, they will become criminals."

Bai Shaoyi sneered: "You don't need to say that, let alone we don't have that ability. Even if we have that ability, I'm worried that if Shuoshu is really caught, maybe one day we will be arrested and sued. I'm talking about how to end this matter. I don't want to let the traitors go, and I don't want to be someone else's chess piece." "Who in this world is not a chess piece, the whole world is a game of chess. Who can escape the fate of being a chess piece?" ? We can only do our best to obey the destiny. It is just a matter of being a foolish pawn crossing the river, or staying safe and sitting in the tent of the Chinese army. It depends on wisdom. We only need to handle the case just right. How to fight is their business." Zhao Zhongshu took the file and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Our main purpose is to find out whether they are only smuggling food for money or are they colluding with someone to smuggle food .”

The taste of the wine in his mouth was a bit sour, Bai Shaoyi understood Zhao Zhongshu's meaning, they could only do things within their own ability, as for the deeper privacy, they left it to the high-ranking people to deal with.Bai Shaoyi's heart seemed to be blocked by some soft things, choked there, unable to spit out or swallow, he smiled helplessly: "It's better not to hurt the jade bottle just to beat the mice."

In that way, we have to behave similarly in acting, so as not to show flaws.Zhao Zhongshu raised his wine glass, and suddenly thought of something: "Shouldn't your wife's birthday be celebrated? Isn't this wine the year she was born. Standing at thirty, it's also a big birthday. I don't have any other presents. Just take these boxes of wine as gifts."

Bai Shaoyi paused while holding the wine glass, then said with a smile: "Qingqiu's birthday is still a few months away, by the way, I plan to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary together. Thank you! I am worried about not having good wine and treats What about relatives and friends. You must come to us for a few more drinks." Zhao Zhongshu didn't look at Bai Shaoyi, he stared at the wine glass thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I heard that your wife has been very busy recently. The Women's Association is just a decoration, and you don't want to get promoted and get rich, so why bother asking your wife to hang out there."

There was something in Zhao Zhongshu's words, but Bai Shaoyi immediately thought of something. Instead, he sat down calmly, and said straight to his old friend, "What news did you hear?" Bai Shaoyi stared at Zhao Zhongshu, he was waiting for Zhao Zhongshu's answer, If Zhao Zhongshu pretends not to know, he will really re-examine this old friend.

The air in the room was about to freeze, Zhao Zhongshu stared at the wine glass in his hand, although he was calm on the surface, but his heart had become boiling magma.He had just received the information from the eyeliner over there that some big man seemed to be pursuing a certain lady. These people on the stage were all dignified, but in fact they were also lustful and wealthy in private, and they always had a preference for not being on the stage.This is not surprising to Zhao Zhongshu. He has been staring at some important person for a long time. Zhao Zhongshu doesn't care much about the sexual news about his political opponents.That's just one more weapon to attack the opponent.But waiting for him to see the detailed information, Zhao Zhongshu couldn't sit still at all.The lady being chased turned out to be Qingqiu.Thinking that Qingqiu has become a member of the Women's Association recently, and is busy with the affairs of the Women's Association every day.Zhao Zhongshu is too clear about the privacy of the Women's Association.That place was originally a whitewashed Shengping vase, but it was abruptly turned into a place where power, money and body were traded by Mrs. Wu and others.Zhao Zhongshu looked at the report sent up from below, and a strange idea came to his mind.

He really wanted to know how Qingqiu would choose when faced with power and wealth, and how would Bai Shaoyi, who claimed to love her to the bottom of her heart, react?Will he put all the responsibility on Qingqiu, and accuse her of not being a woman?Or even worse, Bai Shaoyi would exchange his wife for something he wanted more.If so, Zhao Zhongshu will find a sufficient reason for himself, Bai Shaoyi is not worthy of having a beautiful woman like Qingqiu.He will be able to take Qingqiu under his wing in a strong manner, and he will no longer have to feel guilty for taking away his brother's wife.

He specially invited Bai Shaoyi to his office today to test Bai Shaoyi's meaning, but as soon as the test words came out, Zhao Zhongshu found out that he was wrong.There is actually no secret between Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi, and she doesn't want to think that Qingqiu would tell her husband all about such things.It is obvious that Bai Shaoyi already knows what kind of suitor her wife has met.But here he is hesitating, covering up, he is definitely a villain!Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongshu sighed deeply in his heart, and said slowly: "It seems that she told you, and I also got the news recently. That big man has thought about your baby. You have to be careful ah."

As soon as Zhao Zhongshu's words came out, the atmosphere in the room eased, and Bai Shaoyi laughed: "Although I am a small lawyer, I have defeated the number two person in the love field. It can be regarded as a bright face. Qingqiu and I talk about everything, The most basic trust between husband and wife can't be achieved, so why talk about heart-to-heart love and grow old. Although a certain person is not talented, he is also good-looking, and his age is even better. Since ancient times, Chang'e loves young people, Qingqiu You won't leave me anyway, and follow a bad old man without a name!"

"The bad old man you talk about is the one who stands at the pinnacle of power. Don't forget, it is the bad old man you talk about who almost became the master of the world. Anything can happen in the world, maybe Qingqiu is tired of being a housewife and wants to be the first lady. It may not be impossible. There are people who are getting older, but their learning style is definitely much better than yours. Qingqiu likes to study knowledge like that, maybe she will be taken by others Talent has conquered you. Don't be optimistic, just close the case in hand and go home and watch over your wife." Zhao Zhongshu poured cold water on Bai Shaoyi very harshly, seeing Bai Shaoyi's face getting serious, he felt good Not a lot.

Qingqiu is sitting on the chair under the window of the study, flipping through a book.It was a song edition of Li Yishan's poems. In Qingqiu's previous life and this life, he didn't like Li Yishan's poems very much.She always disliked the fact that there are too many allusions in Li Yishan's poems, and he pays too much attention to rhythm. The good titles are bound by foreign objects, and the original good intentions are ruined.It's like a plate of fresh vegetables, but the chef's complicated cooking methods and seasonings make it lose its original innocence and original flavor.But holding a red pen to carefully write out the notes, Qingqiu couldn't help sighing, this big man really has some real talents and practical learning.The reason for the allusion is easy to come by, and the understanding of the poet's intention is also unique.This kind of kung fu should be done by reading a lot of books in order to be able to handle it with ease.Qingqiu suddenly remembered that the article he wrote on poetry research was connected with the annotations of this book, and there was something to cater to each other.It seems that this great man really has a deep foundation in Ci Fu, and he can be called a person who understands Qingqiu in poetry.

It's a pity that a person who has read poetry and books has a dirty mind.Thinking of this, the corner of Qingqiu's mouth twitched, with a disdainful expression on his face.What are you looking at so seriously?Bai Shaoyi suddenly appeared behind Qingqiu, and made a loud noise to startle Qingqiu.Qingqiu subconsciously wanted to hide the collection of poems in her hand, but her hand that was raised in the air suddenly stopped: "Why are you back at this time, I'm bored at home with nothing to pass the time with books. You came back today It's really early." Qingqiu shook the book in her hand at Bai Shaoyi: "Did you come back and see the flower basket in the hall? Our troubles are really coming. Today someone heard that I was sick, and immediately someone came to send something to express condolences gone."

Qingqiu calmly talked about the flower baskets and gifts that someone sent this morning. She pointed to the box and sighed helplessly: "I should also go to the temple to burn incense and go to get rid of bad luck. People sit at home, and the disaster comes from the sky." Come up."

Bai Shaoyi picked up the box and looked at it: "As soon as I came in, I saw you concentrating on reading. Is this a condolence gift from him? How many old books?"

Looking at the basic Song version book in the box, Bai Shaoyi frowned tightly, and he sneered, thinking about Zhao Zhongshu's words: "Do what you like, a big deal. I'm going to be jealous, Qiuer, what do you like? Just go buy things. Give them back these things." Bai Shaoyi stared at Qingqiu pitifully, almost wagging her tail at her.

Qingqiu was amused by Bai Shaoyi's puppy-like expression about to be abandoned, she stretched out her hands to pinch Bai Shaoyi's cheeks and pulled vigorously to both sides: "Why are you so jealous? How could ordinary people like us be able to climb up to her?" ? But these books are good things. You have the money but you didn’t go out to buy them. But I don’t care about them. I will hand them over to Mrs. Wu tomorrow, and she will naturally know how to deal with them.”

Listening to Qingqiu's words, Bai Shaoyi stared at Qingqiu seriously and sized her up for a while, as if he wanted to see her true thoughts from the subtle changes on Qingqiu's face.Bai Shaoyi stared at Qingqiu for a long while, then suddenly laughed foolishly: "I am much more precious than these broken books in your eyes. I will personally bring these things to Mrs. Wu tomorrow."

Qingqiu poked Bai Shaoyi's forehead with her finger coquettishly: "You idiot, what are you thinking?" Bai Shaoyi swallowed Qingqiu's words before she finished speaking.

A storm seemed to dissipate like this.It's a pity that the next morning, as soon as they got up, Zhang's mother came to report with a gloomy face: "The family's car has a flat tire somehow, and I have to send Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu to school? What should I do if the husband is going out too?" What? When the driver came home yesterday, the car was parked in the garage. When the driver drove out today, he found that the tire of the car was punctured. The driver said it looked like it was scratched. But who in the family would Do something like that?"

Qingqiu's heart sank when she heard Zhang Mama's words, Bai Shaoyi immediately approved the clothes and jumped up from the bed: "I'll go and see, you call a car to send Yuanyuan and Xiaozhu to school. Qingqiu, don't worry, I'll go and see the situation .”

It was the first time for Xiaozhu and Yuanyuan to go to school by tram. The two of them were very excited. They ate breakfast in a hurry. The two children carried their schoolbags and urged Zhang Ma to send them to school immediately. "I can take the car by myself. Mom, I'm an older child. Some of my classmates have already gone to school by themselves. I can bring my brother to school." Yuan Yuan pulled Qingqiu's arm and begged her to go to school alone go.Qingqiu hugged her daughter worriedly, she was already thinking about asking Yuan Yuan to go to school by herself, but now it is really not suitable for her to go to school alone. "Yuanyuan is obedient. After a while, my mother will consider asking you to go to school by yourself. But this is the first time you take the tram to school, and ask Zhang Ma to take you. You have to do well at school, and take your brother after school and don't wander around. When you meet strangers at school or on the road, don’t talk to them casually and don’t take their things to know?” Qingqiu naggingly told Yuan Yuan and Xiao Zhu to be wary of strangers and not go to remote places.

The two children seemed to be terrified by Qingqiu's expression, they didn't dare to act coquettishly towards Qingqiu and they all stood obediently, Xiao Zhu worriedly looked at her sister with a look of fear on her face.Bai Shaoyi hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the children: "Your mother has been a little nervous recently, it's okay, it's okay, remember your mother's instructions and go to school with Zhang Mama." Bai Shaoyi gave Zhang Mama a wink, Zhang Mama hurriedly said : "It's getting late, and Xiaozhu is still on duty. How can you be late?"

Zhang Ma left with the child, Qingqiu could no longer maintain her calm appearance, she nervously held Bai Shaoyi's hand: "Did someone enter the house yesterday—"

"It's not what you think. I checked the tires of the car carefully. It didn't cut all at once. It may be that something sharp was rubbed on the road, and the tires couldn't hold up. It's broken. Well, don't worry, I I'm not going anywhere today, I'll stay with you at home." Bai Shaoyi said lightly, the broken place on the tire was clearly cut with a sharp blade or something, and someone cut the tire without him noticing.Who did it? Did they want to warn themselves to abandon Meng Qinglian's case, or did they warn themselves to be more sensible and let Qingqiu go?

"Young Mistress, someone brought you flowers." Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi sat silently facing each other in the study, lost in thought, when suddenly Taohua's excited voice came.

send flowers?Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi exchanged gloomy eyes, but Peach Blossom said excitedly: "It's a peach tree, it's actually full of peach blossoms at this time."

As soon as Qingqiu entered the living room, he saw the person who delivered the flowers yesterday.Seeing Qingqiu, the man nodded slightly: "Sir, I wish you well. Please accept any kindness." As he spoke, the man took out the same box as yesterday: "This is the complete works of Wang Mojie, and the annotations in it are all written by Mr. He did it, he said please ask Ms. Leng to rectify it." As he said that, the man bowed to Qingqiu, put down his things, turned and left.

Bai Shaoyi's angry face turned red and then turned pale. He was about to burst out of anger, but Qingqiu frowned, staring at Peach Blossom in a daze.

"Qingqiu, what's wrong with you? You're too arrogant, what does he want!" Bai Shaoyi hopped on the spot depressed.

"Through the ages, the only one who dies is the only one who dies. Is it sad that the only one is Madam." Qingqiu sensed the murderous intent hidden behind the peach blossoms, and her whole body stiffened as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
