Secretary Lu is my leader, and also my elder.
Things that can't be said to the leader can be said to an elder. No matter how big a leader is, they also have a human side. He came to serve in Jiangbei Province alone, and sometimes feels very lonely. Occasionally, he invites me and Xiao Zhu to his villa to chat and relax. Yan, the service personnel assigned to him by the Provincial Machinery Management Bureau, helps me with the work. I prepare some local Jiangbei dishes, and we also have a few drinks.
Once when we talked about personal matters, I poured out all the grievances and frustrations of these years under the influence of alcohol. The old man didn't say much, just patted my shoulder.
Letting me pursue this matter is indulgence towards me.
After the divorce, I rented a three-bedroom apartment near the provincial committee. My father and mother came from Annam to help me take care of my daughter Yingying. I also told them about my situation, and with my daughter's endorsement, the illiterate elderly people expressed their understanding.
They don't even know my current job, they only know that their son got divorced and changed jobs, it's not easy for them anyway.
In the afternoon, when I was not busy, I went to the kindergarten to pick up Yingying and as we walked to the entrance of the community, Yingying suddenly said, "Mom, where is that bad man?" I followed her little finger and saw Jiang Xiaoli in a fancy dress, holding Cheng Huairen, standing there asking the security guard something.
"Let's go, Dad, let's go home!" Yingying tugged at my clothes.
Sister Hua from the Comprehensive Second Department is helping my mom cook.
Sister Hua is a highly educated leftover woman. In recent years, she has been too picky and has ended up single. Now, we are neighbors upstairs and downstairs.
Sister Hua is not busy, she can basically go to work and come home normally, and often comes over to take care of my mom and Yingying. As a result, she has become close to my mom and my daughter, forming a "cross-generational friendship," which puts my mind at ease.
We, the "family of five," were having dinner when suddenly there was a knock on the door. I went to open it, and to my surprise, Jiang Xiaoli and Cheng Huairen were standing outside.
"Why are you here?" Upon seeing me, Jiang Xiaoli's smiling face instantly turned cold, still intentionally clinging tightly to Cheng Huairen's arm as if to provoke me. Then she looked up and saw my mom: "Who are you guys?"
I held onto the door: "This is my home, of course I'm here."
My mom stood up: "Let Xiaoli come in and talk, is Xiaoli here to see Yingying? Yingying, call for Mom!" Old people are always so kind.
Cheng Huairen Even a fool could probably guess what's going on. He tried to pull his arm out with force, bowed with a smile on his face, and said, "You must be Director Hu, right? I'm sorry for my slow reaction!" "What brings you two to my house?" I asked jokingly. Cheng Huairen's face turned as red as a pig's liver: "Director Hu, we are not..."
Jiang Xiaoli looked incredulous. "Who do you think you're fooling? You're just a lowly advertising salesman without even a basic salary... I must have been blind..."
Her words were cut off by Cheng Huairen: "Shut up! How dare you speak to Director Hu like that!"
He forcefully pulled his arm from her grasp and pulled out an envelope from his pocket. "Director Hu, we won't delay your meal any longer. You must accept this!" Then he dropped the envelope and pulled Jiang Xiaoli away.
Jiang Xiaoli struggled desperately: "Are you crazy? Why are you giving him that 50,000 yuan? What can he do with it?" Then she twisted back to snatch the envelope containing the bank card from my hand: "Give it back to me, you useless person. I've had enough of you... Lao Cheng is about to get divorced. Once he's divorced, we'll get married and that will really make you mad..." My mom was so angry that she was shaking all over. Yingying ran out and used both hands to drag me inside, then slammed the door shut.
There are surveillance cameras installed at the entrance of my house, and the images and sound are very clear. I submitted this evidence to Zhang Guohua. I think he will understand my meaning, otherwise, he might also be implicated. Cheng Huairen has been dismissed, and Jiang Xiaoli has been dismissed! The disciplinary and supervisory authorities are still following up, and the entire market supervision system is in a state of panic.
As Jiang Xiaoli wished, Cheng Huairen got divorced. However, due to his extramarital affair, he was left with nothing, and even his two children cut ties with him.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoli finally realized that as long as Cheng Huairen held his position, they were considered important, but without it, they were just a mess. Furthermore, even if I don't say anything, some people know that as long as I'm around, they will never have a chance to turn their lives around.
