Provincial Party Secretary

Chapter 23
Ren Wenyi was filled with anger, and decided to go to Feilin for an explanation.Her father was kind to her, and it was up to her whether to repay her kindness, but he would never allow her to repay her kindness and frame her benefactor, that would be an act worse than a beast...

Just when Ren Wenyi decided to ask Feilin for an explanation, Feilin was also being hit by a violent storm, which revived her numb soul.

Gao Yunyan was already tired of playing with her, and became more and more indifferent to her, especially after the "Ren Liang incident", Gao Yunyan was on guard against her everywhere, and did not come to her for a long time.Feilin felt aggrieved and guilty, and guilt gnawed at her heart all the time.

Flynn also graduated.After this incident, her hopes of taking the postgraduate entrance examination were of course shattered.If it were another girl, with such a reputation and a punishment, she would definitely have to go back to the countryside to find a job, but with the help of Chen Yuanbin, she got her wish and was assigned to be a reporter for the "Linzhou Evening News".

Filin's heart is heavy.At this moment, she felt that the only way to free herself was to marry Gao Yunyan.No matter how hard Gao Yunyan is, his family can no longer accept her, and even if he gets divorced after marriage, she will marry him.Marrying him is not for the sake of prominent status, not for glory and wealth, but she also knows that doing so will not help to redeem her sins, but she has to do this.Only by marrying Gao Yunyan can one get a little psychological balance.

However, Gao Yunyan stayed with her less and less.

After a lot of difficulty, I got a chance to be with Gao Yunyan.Eat together, return to the "love nest" together, and make love passionately.After the love was over, Feilin leaned into his arms and said shyly, "Yunyan, I want to discuss something with you, and you have to promise me."

"Did you just start working and your money is too tight?" Gao Yunyan obviously misunderstood, he reached out and took out a handful of banknotes from his purse and handed them over, "Which one of us is with whom? It's not good for you, so don't ask me I want money, money is something, spend it and earn it.”

"No, I'm not short of money." Feilin pushed away the banknote, and then hugged him tightly, "Yunyan, I want to marry you, let's get married."

"Marriage?" Gao Yunyan was stunned, "Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

"Yunyan, if I don't marry you, I will suffer under the heavy spiritual cross for the rest of my life. As long as you marry me, I will be your cow and horse, even if you treat me as a display."

"Filin, I like you, otherwise our relationship wouldn't last so long." Gao Yunyan caressed Feilin and said, "However, getting married as a husband and wife is very difficult and the possibility is very small."

"why?"

"I'm not kidding you, I'm not for you, and neither is my family."

"Just because of this?"

"Don't get me wrong, Filin, I don't have any concept of family status. Besides, I feel from the bottom of my heart that you are a rare and good girl, but you will feel unhappy when we get married. Filin, I can make up for you , I can also send you to study abroad, except for marriage, I can meet your requirements."

"Could it be..." Fei Lin's tone was full of sadness, "Could it be that in your eyes, I'm a money-grubbing woman, and I followed you for what purpose?"

"It's not like this, Ferlin, there are many things I can't tell you clearly. Of course, we can continue to love like this..."

"No..." Feilin finally cried, "Who do you think I am..."

Gao Yunyan hurriedly comforted her, but Feilin remained silent all night and didn't sleep all night...

The next day, Film went to another city for an interview. When she came back, she called Gao Yunyan. Gao Yunyan said, "You go back first. I'll come back to accompany you when I'm done." Film then returned to the "Love Nest". Wait for Gao Yunyan to come back.However, until 10 o'clock in the evening, no one came back.She called his mobile phone, why did it turn off tonight, did she deliberately avoid herself?Just as she was wondering, someone knocked on the door. She thought Gao Yunyan was back, and immediately opened the door in surprise.

The door opened, and Ferryn was disappointed and amazed.

It wasn't Gao Yunyan standing outside the door, but one of Gao Yunyan's assistants was standing at the door holding an exquisite combination box.Felin was familiar with him, so he welcomed him in.

The assistant sat down and kept some distance from her.

"Is there something wrong?" Feilin asked after pouring water.

"The boss told me to come."

"What did he call you for?"

"The boss said that he will go to the United States to report on his work tomorrow, and asked me to give this to you." The assistant opened the lockbox, and inside was a neat stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills. "This is 20. The boss said, you If you want to study abroad, just let him know how much is short, and he also said that if you like it, this house will also belong to you, and he will go through the transfer procedures for you immediately."

"What else did he say?"

"He... that's all he said."

"Okay, you can go, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Good night!" The assistant exited the door.

However, after the assistant went out, Feilin wanted to cry but couldn't even find the feeling of crying.She just felt cold and shivering all over. This night, she just sat on the sofa in the living room without moving...

The next day, she packed up her things, went back to the small room assigned to her by the newspaper office, and put away her things. She carried the lockbox and all the keys of the mansion, and went directly to Gao Yunyan's company and broke into his office.

When Feilin broke in, Gao Yunyan had a bag under his arm, as if he was about to go out.Seeing the blank-faced Fei Lin, he froze for a moment, and immediately asked Fei Lin to sit down.But Feilin didn't sit down, but put the key and lockbox on his executive desk, and opened the box.

"Here is the key. This is the money from your assistant. Count it. I didn't move it."

"Filin, why bother? I..."

"Don't explain, I understand. But, I can't accept your money. If I accept money and gifts, our communication will become a transaction. I don't want to leave nothing pure in my heart. Goodbye! "

After Feilin finished speaking on her own, ignoring Gao Yunyan's reaction, she turned her head and rushed out of the office. She was afraid that if she stayed too long, she would lose control and cry.

As soon as she went out, she hailed a taxi, got in and urged the driver to drive. Turning her head, through the window of the car, she saw Gao Yunyan chasing after him, standing at the door...

Sadness is greater than death, at this moment, Fei Lin finally comprehended the true meaning of these words.She found that her heart was failing and dying bit by bit.Yeah, what do you live alone?To live is to be dignified.Although I lost my father since I was a child, I grew up in love and warmth. What did I rely on?It is dignity!Now, all the good things have been smashed by myself, and they are so broken that they can no longer be repaired, so what is the meaning of life?So she decided to die, buy a hundred sleeping pills and swallow them, and get eternal relief...

However, before the 100 sleeping pills from Film could be collected, Ren Wenyi came to question him.

It was ten past four o'clock in the afternoon when I received a call from Ren Wenyi.Film just came back from an interview with a company.She never expected that Ren Wenyi would call her, so she was stunned for a moment.Ren Wenyi seemed very angry: "I want to talk to you, you must give me an explanation!"

"Okay." Feilin thought for a while and said, "I'll meet you at the Northeast Restaurant of Wangjianglou, and I'll treat you to dinner."

"I can't afford your food!" Ren Wen said angrily, "Just find a place to finish talking."

"Don't worry, Wenyi." Ferlin said sincerely, "I have made a mistake once, and I will never make it again. I sincerely invite you, and I will not throw a grand banquet."

"You can't say that." Ren Wenyi's tone became much calmer, and he said after a pause, "Okay then, I'll come over right away."

Finally, Fei Lin and Ren Wen saw each other.In Ren Wenyi's eyes, the film doesn't seem to have changed much. If there is a change, it is becoming more beautiful and mature. It has completely lost the rusticity of a peasant girl and has become a fashionable urban beauty.However, her big and bright eyes were full of sadness, and she could no longer find the innocence of the past.So much so that he felt a distressed feeling in his heart, and couldn't bear to say angry words to her.

After ordering four dishes and two bottles of beer, Feilin looked up at Ren Wenyi and said, "Didn't you say you have something to tell me, why don't you tell me?"

"Of course I will." Ren Wenyi said carefully, "However, I hope you can tell the truth."

Obviously, Ren Wenyi's words moved Fei Lin.After listening, she bit her lower lip lightly with a row of broken jade-like white teeth, stared at the wine glass with downcast eyes, and twirled the wine glass with her slender hands.After a while, she raised her tear-filled eyes and asked Ren Wenyi sincerely: "Wenyi, do you want to hear the truth?"

"If I don't want to hear the truth, I won't look for you." Ren Wenyi blurted out, but after thinking about it, he added, "Of course, if you think there is any embarrassment or inconvenience, I won't force it."

"What else do I have to worry about? At this point, I feel sorry for Uncle Ren..."

Feilin's teardrops finally fell down.Ren Wenyi hurriedly handed over a tissue.Feilin took it and wiped away his tears, calmed down, and began to speak slowly:
"Wenyi, I really didn't do it on purpose. But my naivety caused Uncle Ren to suffer so much. I really can't redeem it! Uncle Ren's situation may get worse in the future, because someone treats Uncle Ren I want to get rid of it and then quickly. I only found out after that incident. Well, let me start from the beginning. I can be today because of the selfless help of Uncle Ren and your family. I know, Uncle Ren I don’t have a lot of money. In order for me to go to school, you worked part-study at school. At that time, I thought, can I also work part-study, study on my own, relieve Uncle Ren’s burden, and share some worries for my poor mother? So , I looked for a job everywhere. Later I found a job as a waiter in the Linxing Hotel. When you and Du Jingjing were in love, I met Gao Tianpeng’s son Gao Yunyan. He fell in love with me. In front of a powerful opponent, I gave in to him. What's more, at that time, my emotional sky was clouded..."

"Here... let's take a break, Feilin." Seeing that Feilin was crying again, Ren Wenyi interrupted her, and only after she calmed down slowly did she start talking again, "They're messing with my dad, what's going on? A small division chief can't do as much as they mobilize the crowd!"

"Wen Yi, you are too bookish, and Uncle Ren is too bookish, it's all caused by bookishness! All I know is that Uncle Ren sits in the position of director of engineering and is a senior engineer. Many obstacles. That's why they made up their minds to get rid of him. When the accident happened, I didn't know the inside story. Gao Yunyan told me that someone sued me and Uncle Ren... To be honest, even though I am a college student, With this knowledge, I am almost an idiot. If you know that the consequences are so serious, even if they put a knife on my neck, I will not do it..."

Ren Wenyi looked at Feilin, who was crying so hard, and kept nodding, not knowing whether to express his belief in her words, or to express his understanding of what she did.But in his heart, the resentment towards Fei Lin disappeared, and what accumulated in his chest was pain and anxiety.He felt such ugliness in the society around him, felt sorry for Fei Lin and his father's misfortune, and was even more anxious about his father's situation.He felt that the series of misfortunes that Feilin had encountered were all caused by himself. Apart from remorse, he also had a strong desire to protect her.

"Fillin, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know." Ferlin shook his head, "My heart is dead."

"Filin, can I apologize to you?" Wen Yi said sincerely, "I am a worthless man. I said I would protect you for the rest of my life, but I still hurt you. Come back with me, Dad, Mother will understand and forgive all this. I will always be your own brother!"

"Brother..." Fei Lin fell on Ren Wenyi's shoulder and began to cry.

"Cry, it might feel better to cry for a while."

"Wenyi," Feilin suddenly raised his teary eyes, "I saw Jingjing."

"Where is it?" Ren Wenyi cheered up, "Where is she?"

"During my interview yesterday, I saw her with Yin Jun. It is said that she has gone to work in his company."

"Yin Jun? Who is Yin Jun?"

"He is Chen Yuanbin's good friend. He used to be Gao Tianpeng's secretary, but later he resigned and went to sea. I heard that Chen Yuanbin was recommended to Gao Tianpeng by him."

"Oh..." Ren Wenyi sighed, his whole body was cold, "What did she tell you?"

"She told me not to tell you. If I advise you to forget her, it's as if she doesn't exist in this world. "

"I..." Ren Wenyi felt pain in his heart.

"Wenyi. Do you still want to hear me tell the truth?"

"Yes." Ren Wenyi raised his head again.

"I didn't want to say it in my life, but I couldn't help but say it. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have fallen into Gao Yunyan's trap..."

"Stop it, Ferlin, I'm an asshole..."

That night, Fei Lin and Wen Yi stayed very late before breaking up. They made an appointment to go back to see Ren Liang and his wife together the next day.Wen Yi sent her back to the dormitory.As soon as Wen Yi left, Feilin took out a bottle containing dozens of sleeping pills, poured the pills into the toilet in the bathroom, then fell on the bed, hugged the pillow, and cried all day long...

Ren Liang decided to let his son go to Guangzhou.Because Feilin had resigned from the "Linzhou Evening News" two weeks ago, and went to Guangzhou alone.Ren Liang didn't stop her, he knew her difficulties and understood her choice.Two days ago, Wen Yi also said that he would go to Guangzhou to apply for a job, and he agreed.He first called an old classmate in Guangzhou and asked for help.The old classmate said that Ren Wenyi is the talent that Guangzhou urgently needs, and it is no problem to find a job.After putting down the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.Just as he hung up the phone, the call came in again.

"Uncle Ren, I'm Feilin."

"Filin." Ren Liang was startled and asked, "How are you? Have you found a job?"

"Uncle Ren, I have already found a job as a reporter."

"Work hard and be a good person. This is the only gift Uncle Ren gave you."

"Uncle Ren, I have hurt you...Facing your tolerance and love, I feel ashamed..."

"Son, if Uncle Ren can't tolerate a child who occasionally makes mistakes, is he worthy of being your predecessor? Listen to Uncle, put down the burden, straighten your waist, and hold your head up. Be confident enough at any time, love life, and love ours. world."

"Uncle, I understand. Don't worry, I will cherish myself. Hey, Uncle, please call Wen Yi to come to Guangzhou as well. The environment here is better than Linzhou. There will be a lot of room for him to develop here. "

"I also have this idea. I want him to come here. You need to find a job first and help him."

"Uncle, this is the primary purpose of my calling. Please remember my contact number. Ask Wenyi to contact me in Guangzhou. My mobile phone is 139..."

"Wait a minute, I'll get a pen to write it down."

Ren Liang wrote down Feilin's contact address and phone number.After hanging up, I fell into deep thought.

The reason why Ren Liang couldn't wait to ask his son to leave Linzhou for Guangzhou was because he felt a bigger crisis was attacking him like a black cloud over the city.He had planned to burn everything together, but he couldn't bear to take his son as his own funeral object. His son's life had just begun.

Ren Liang is a scholar, a technician who went from the countryside to the military camp and then to the university classroom.For decades, he has pursued a life philosophy of dedication, patriotism, moderation, and indifference.But who would have expected that because of the bidding problem of the sports center, he would be thrown into the limelight.He felt that he was right. He engaged in the bidding system purely for the sake of the project. If he followed his plan, not only would the cost be much lower, but the quality would definitely be much better.But why didn't his plan go through?Of course he understood that it was corruption at work.But what about corruption?Who are you?Is it not for nothing to take care of things that can't be taken care of?Therefore, when it comes to corruption, his rule is that I don’t care what other people do, but I am absolutely clean, I am not corrupt, and I always act with the scientific and rigorous attitude of an engineer. Get in!One is to be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and also worthy of the party and the country. Second, live in peace with others, go their own way, and live in peace.Unexpectedly, the trees want to be quiet and the wind is not relentless. If you don't find fault with the corrupt elements, they will come to punish you instead, making it difficult for you to live a peaceful life.In the face of this blow, Ren Liang had to think about the problem from another angle.Anti-corruption is not a matter for the disciplinary committee or the procuratorial department, but a matter for the whole party, the whole country, and the whole people.When corruption flourishes, justice suffers.Like him, he has been upright all his life, but he has become a body to wear a crime.He remembered a strange incident that had happened this morning.

Not long after he went to work in the morning, two police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Liu Lianggui, the anti-corruption director of the Procuratorate, and a comrade from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection called him to the small conference room of his unit, and had a special conversation with him.Comrades from the police and the procuratorate were very serious and sat there waiting for him.As soon as Ren Liang entered the meeting room, Comrade Gong An asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Ren Liang, you don't even know my name when you look for me?"

"Do you know 'conscience'?" Liu Lianggui asked suddenly.

"Conscience?" Ren Liang laughed. He thought that these people came to entangle the "virginity test incident" not long ago, and he was upset, so he said casually, "Of course I know. Conscience is what we often call conscience. If you don't do it in your life It is one of the virtues that our Chinese nation has always advocated. However, some people in the world have a conscience, and some don't. That's why there are good people and bad people..."

"Don't change the subject." Liu Lianggui knocked on the table, his tone became severe, "Do you know 'Conscience'?"

"I know." Ren Liang felt even more uncomfortable. I didn't break the law, so how can I allow you to be interrogated as prisoners?So, he babbled all over again, "There must be a lot of people with conscience in this world, otherwise our surroundings would not be human hell. But there are also many people without conscience, so there is a distinction between good and evil. But , It is difficult to identify people without a conscience, much more difficult than knowing a conscience.”

"What have you been doing lately?"

"What do you do? Go to work, eat, sleep, read, every day. Oh, yes, sometimes I doze off on the desk, sometimes I watch TV..."

"Ren Liang, tell me the truth, have you written a letter recently?"

"I wrote it!"

"Then, is this letter written by you?"

Liu Lianggui suddenly showed a neatly printed letter in computer fonts.Ren Liang didn't know what kind of letter it was, so he said truthfully: "No, I rarely use a computer except for work, let alone write letters with a computer."

"Ren Liang, you have to be honest, don't think that you can get away with it by pretending to be crazy and stupid." The young and tall public security officer yelled impatiently.

"Comrade, can you be more polite?" Ren Liang was also angry. "What is my status today? If I am a prisoner, lock me up for retrial. If you ask me to provide any information, please be more polite. If you ask for help, you will be returned." If you play your temper, don't you turn the subject and the object upside down?"

"You..." The young police officer choked.He slapped the table and stood up, "I have a way to make you speak."
