Chapter 803: A Secret Conversation on Board

, Xiao Zheng wanted to get first-hand information and didn't want to just sit in the office and brainstorm ideas, so he persuaded Guan Wenwei to let him go down to the village. 。Guan Wenwei thought Xi...At this moment, Chen Hong's heart was pounding. 。But she was in a hurry, and didn't want her father Chen Guangming to see it. She gave him a nonchalant smile, then filled his cup of Fenjiu with wine again, and filled her own as well. She raised her glass and said, "Come on, Dad, I'll toast you one more time. Don't rush..." 。There's always a way to do anything. 。"Ah!" When Chen Guangming heard his daughter say that, he finally felt much better. "Come on, Chen Hong, have another drink with Dad." 。They had another drink, and already a third of the bottle of Fenjiu was gone. 。Chen Hong looked at Chen Guangming and asked, "Dad, is something wrong with you"

Chen Guangming stared at his daughter in astonishment. Bribery was something that any leader knew was a shame to be seen by others. The parties involved might not think much of it, but among relatives and friends, it was absolutely taboo to talk about it. 。Maybe family has heard something, but they certainly wouldn't ask for details. 。Before, Chen Guangming had never spoken in detail about this with his daughter, Chen Hong. Now that his daughter asked him so directly, it was like someone was lifting a veil, making him very uncomfortable. 。Chen Hong was also very smart. Seeing her father's expression, she understood most of it. She chased and asked, "Does anyone else have your handle" Chen Hong did a very good job herself. It was extremely difficult for others to find any handle on her, and she hoped that Chen Guangming could do the same as herself, clean and tidy, then there would be no major problems! However, Chen Guangming looked bitter and said, "When I was in the An County Agriculture Bureau, I had a small vault used for my own expenses and for running errands to higher-level units" >>> 。This little safe, many units had them back in the day! It wasn't just me who had one. 。Chen Hong's heart skipped a beat. She asked again, "Did you sign the invoices for reimbursement of expenses coming in and out of this small vault" Chen Guangming's face darkened. "That is to say, some signatures were indeed there!" Chen Hong let out a heavy sigh. "Dad, how could you be so careless How can you just sign anything randomly!" Chen Guangming said, "At that time, everyone was like that. Who would think about so much" Chen Hong scoffed. "No matter what, you should always consider one more step, think one more step. Otherwise, how can you go far and high No wonder you can only reach..." She stopped herself.Chen Hong originally wanted to say, no wonder you can only reach the deputy department level... 。 。After all, Mom and Dad are especially loving towards each other. 。If ranking those who love Chen Hong, the person who loves her most in this world is undoubtedly her father, Chen Guangming. 。Chen Guangming also exonerated himself: "Yes, things have come to this, what can be done Chen Hong, a few days ago, I saw Fang Ye, Ma Hao, and Song Guoming were all sentenced" 。This is terrible, everyone's illegal gains from the past decades have been confiscated. 。Chen Hong, our current family situation, you see besides your partner not being found yet, everything else can be considered perfect. 。"No need to worry about food or clothing, there are buses to take you everywhere, every day people invite me to dinner, how many people can live such a life of luxury Chen Hong, if something happens to me, what will happen to our family"

Because he had been drinking, Chen Guangming's face was flushed, but his eyes were red: "Chen Hong, my dad is at this age, I don't want to go to jail!"

"Jail What kind of jail" Chen Hong looked at Chen Guangming, "Dad, don't talk nonsense!" 。"You can't possibly go to jail!" Chen Guangming shook his head. "Why not Fang Ye went in, Ma Hao went in, Song Guoming went in too. Next it will be Wang Chunhua and Yao Beixiang's turn to be sentenced." 。Who is Wang Chunhua He's Tan Zhen's secretary! Who is Yao Baxian He's the nephew of Provincial Secretary General Tan Si Ming! A few years ago, if a person like this went in, it would be a major earthquake for Jingzhou, but now they are being sent in wholesale! Chen Hong, have you thought about this What's the reason" Chen Hong had thought about it. The reason these people went in was because of Xiao Zheng. Almost all of them had gotten involved with Xiao Zheng 。The other one is related to Xiao Jingyu. He once tried to bring Xiao Jingyu down or expel him from Jingshou. 。As a result, not only did it fail, but it also got itself into trouble. 。Chen Hong nodded and said, "I understand the reasons." 。"Chen Guangming took another swig of wine and said, "If you understand this, that's the best! These people are far beyond my reach. If they can go to jail, why shouldn't I Chen Hong, there's one undeniable truth you absolutely cannot ignore!"

Chen Hong looked up. Two crimson streaks suddenly appeared in her originally pure whites of her eyes. 。At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew from the lake, hitting the window panes of the box and causing them to rattle. Chen Hong felt a slight tremor in her heart and asked, “What 'unseen' fact”

Chen Guangming took another sip and said, "Chen Hong, this fact, perhaps, is the reason why I am still safe and sound today. It’s because Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng, they spared me because of your face!"

Chen Hong's head buzzed, and she remembered again Xiao Jingyu's two visits to talk to her, each time mentioning that it was because she was Xiao Zheng's "old acquaintance". 。Could it be, is that really the case Chen Guangming said again, "Chen Hong, your mother and I are both getting older. We don't have any other extravagant wishes. We just hope to die peacefully like this." 。。Chen Hong instantly understood why her father had been tracking her today. He must have been worried that she was doing something with certain people to provoke Xiao Jingyu again. 。Chen Hong also didn't know if her father had ever seen the "local specialties" expert trio. 。Chen Hong's mood gradually calmed down, she said: "Dad, don't worry, I won't cause trouble. " 。“Finally, Chen Guangming breathed a sigh of relief. “That's all I wanted to hear,” he said.” 。Chen Hong, my mom and I, we're not the kind of rigid people. 。We also know that when we gain something, we inevitably lose something else. 。You and I are both leading cadres, which is a matter of pride for our families. Therefore, it's normal to have some twists and turns, or disappointments, in our personal relationships. 。People can't be perfect, we've already taken everything from them, haven't we So, to put it simply, even if you never get married in your life, as long as you are a high-ranking official, both me and your mom wouldn't think anything of it! Girls don't necessarily have to get married to be happy. Living an independent and autonomous life is also possible. 。“Chen Hong stared blankly at her parents. She understood them, but she never expected them to be mentally prepared and plan for her to live a single life!

Chen Guangming added: “Of course, if you can find your other half, that's natural! But if you can't, don't force it, it's better to have nothing than something mediocre.” 。。As long as you can remain a leader like you are now, you won't go far astray! Chen Hong, I hope you remember this.

Chen Hong looked at her father, she had not spoken for a long time. 。My mind is as turbulent and restless as the mirrored lake on a windy day. 。Xiao Zheng, what should she do about him Let go and live an independent life, perhaps one day she would meet someone who made her heart flutter Or, snatch Xiao Zheng away from that woman, Xiao Jingyu She hesitated, like a seesaw going back and forth. 。After a long while, she said, "Dad, let's have one more drink and then go back." 。Chen Guangming nodded and said, "Alright, one more drink, then we'll head back!" The two of them filled their glasses again and drank them dry in one gulp. 。Two people stood up and walked out of the private room. On the table, there was still half a bottle of Fenjiu left undrunk. 。"As we reached the door, the waiter who had been waiting outside said, 'Two guests, you're leaving so soon' Chen Guangming smiled and replied, 'We want to let you go home early.'" 。It's not easy for you either. 。The waiter said, "Thank you" 。Chen Guangming said again: “On the table, there is still half a bottle of Fen wine left, un-drunk.” 。If you don't mind, you can take it back to your husband to drink. 。“My husband He can go suck an egg, I’m divorced.” 。I'll take it to my dad to drink. In this lifetime, the person who loves me the most is still my father. 。"That's well said!" Chen Guangming couldn't help feeling moved. Taking advantage of his alcohol, he took out one hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the female waitress, "Go buy some meat for your old man." 。The female waitress hurriedly took it, bowing and saying: “Thank you, thank you.” 。Chen Guangming and Chen Hong went down the stairs, paid the bill, and walked out of the door. 。Both of them had their own cars. Chen Guangming asked, "Why don't you take my car back" Chen Hong replied, "You can take mine back." 。Chen Guangming said: "Forget it, let's just each sit on our own! Otherwise, the driver will have waited for nothing this trip." 。“Chen Hong nodded to Chen Guangming and said, “Not bad.” 。Then Chen Guangming's car arrived. He waved to Chen Hong and got into the car. 。In the night, the car drove towards the city. 。Then Chen Hong's car arrived, and she got in. 。From the Fisherman's Wharf to Meizi Mountain, there is a narrow channel leading into Jinghu Lake. A steel and concrete bridge spans this channel. As the car crossed the bridge, Chen Hong opened her car window, and the night wind blew through her hair. 。She turned her head to look at the deep and undulating lake surface, asking herself, was this life now already the best Should she be content like her father

But, there is no best life, nor any situation that one should be satisfied with. Humans are upward-moving creatures, only when they reach the ceiling and can go no further will they accept their fate. 。It seems her father, Chen Guangming, has accepted his fate; then what about her, Chen Hong Shouldn't she accept hers too

The car drove back to the city all the way, and Chen Hong blew in the wind along the way. 。But she is in good health and won't catch a cold. 。Once she reached her apartment complex, instead of going home right away, she walked out and to a nearby tea shop. She rented a private room, then took out her phone and called Tan Zhen. 。First, Tan Zhen did not accept 。Chen Hong was not in a hurry either. She asked the proprietress of the teahouse to brew her a pot of tea. 。After a while, Pu'er came up with some simple snacks like dried fruit, fresh fruit and hawthorn pieces. 。The landlady chatted with Chen Hong for a few words, treating her as a regular customer. 。Chen Hong just treated herself as if she were here to drink tea. 。When she had finished her second cup of tea, the phone call from Tan Zhen, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, came back. 。ao Chenghan, Jin Jianqiang, Guan Wenwei, Chang Guoliang, Zhang Hongyi, Li Haiyan, Qin Keling, and Sha Hai. 。Time flies, and it's already the sixth day of the new year. It's time to say goodbye again....
