Chasing

As soon as the matter of Qian Qiu came out, Zhang Shihua couldn't sit still. After Wei Yi returned to the village, he was called to the office by Secretary Zhu before he had time to eat in the cafeteria.

When he knocked on the door and went in, he saw Zhang Shihua sitting in Secretary Zhu's office. When Zhang Shihua saw Wei Yi coming in, he sat up straight and let go of the hand that was raised in dancing when he spoke.Wei Yi felt that he came at the wrong time, so he interrupted Zhang Shihua's speech.

Secretary Zhu seemed to be relieved, and he probably felt helpless because of being entangled. He said to Wei Yi, "Old Wei, sit down quickly. Our Secretary Zhang is here to ask me to explain to Qian Qiu." Zhu The secretary is a good guy. Although he is the leader of the party and government, he is unwilling to offend the people below.

Wei Yi understood that Secretary Zhu called him here purely to use him as a gunman and let him come as a villain.He had no choice but to follow Secretary Zhu's train of thought and continue to be a "bad guy".He raised his eyebrows, sat on the sofa next to Zhang Shihua, looked at Zhang Shihua who was also looking at him with a big smile on his face, and said, "Oh? There's nothing human to say about this matter."

"That's right." Secretary Zhu said, "I told Secretary Zhang, and Secretary Zhang felt that you, Old Wei, were disrespectful, so he insisted on calling you to talk about it."

"Secretary Zhang, this is not very good." Wei Yi looked at Zhang Shihua, "I can't make a mistake in principle for your face. And I can't break the rules because of Qian Qiu, let alone face this situation , shouldn’t you avoid it, it’s not worth the harm to get you all over.”

Zhang Shihua seemed to know the result, sighed, and said, "Hey, I don't have to let her get that quota back."

Wei Yi followed him and said, "Then do you want to do it all over again? We have dealt with it in time except for one sneak shot, and the rest are in compliance with the regulations. There is no need to repeat it twice."

Zhang Shihua clapped his hands and said, "I mean, Secretary Wei, can you discuss with Director Liu and let him go? That person is Qian Qiu's brother-in-law. We are the ones who made such a low-level mistake because of him." Murakami didn't do his job well."

Wei Yi smiled: "It's not up to me to decide. Director Liu Xiwei detains people who violate election discipline according to the regulations and requirements. It's okay. If you ask me to talk to Director Liu, that is to make me commit a crime." Wrong. It is not easy for me to earn thousands of dollars a month, get up early and stay late, and finally get into the party committee, are you willing to let me ruin my own future for irrelevant people?"

"Look at what you said..."

Wei Yi felt that he had nothing to say, so he stood up and said to Secretary Zhu: "Leader, this is my attitude. If I have nothing to do, I will go to eat first. I have to write the report when I have time in the afternoon."

Secretary Zhu waved his hand, showed approval, and said, "Okay, you can go." Then he said to Zhang Shihua, "Old Zhang, don't be confused by this."

Wei Yi took the door and left Secretary Zhu's office, but did not hear the next conversation between Secretary Zhu and Zhang Shihua.He took off the disguise on his face, feeling exhaustion and hunger rushing up together.

It's annoying, annoying as hell.

There were a lot of messy things, and he didn't give him any chance to breathe and think.He glanced at his watch, it was past two o'clock, looking down from the corridor window, the cafeteria door was closed, even if the door was open, he didn't really want to go to the cafeteria to eat that tasteless meal.

Wei Yi vaguely remembered that there was instant noodles in the drawer in the office, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time after returning to the office. Maybe he ate it when he worked overtime, Wei Yi had no memory of it at all.He had breakfast before six o'clock in the morning. After doing the math, he hadn't eaten for more than eight hours. He was so busy and tired that he forgot to be hungry. When he was thinking about what to eat, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

As the door was opened, the aroma of food wafted in. It was none other than Han Jifei who could think of himself this way.

Han Jifei put the bag containing two plastic lunch boxes on the table, smiled and said to him: "Brother Wei, I didn't find you in the cafeteria. Sister Hui said that you were found by Secretary Zhu, so I went to the cafeteria after eating." Go to a restaurant outside and buy you something to eat, it's still hot, eat it quickly."

While talking, Han Jifei found two newspapers and spread them on his table, then took out the lunch box from the plastic bag, opened it and put it on the newspapers, and helped him break open the disposable chopsticks.

The roasted eggplant and white rice tasted so delicious that Wei Yi's stomach even cried out in unison. "Thanks." Wei Yi was not polite, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Han Jifei was not idle either, he took the water from the kettle and boiled it up, and made a cup of tea for him when the water boiled.

After ironing the food, Wei Yi's mood improved a bit. He drank another cup of hot water, and the cold accumulated all morning disappeared from his body.

After eating and drinking, Wei Yi remembered that Han Jifei seemed to be still in his office. Unexpectedly, this guy fell asleep on his sofa, wearing the big padded jacket that he lent him but never saw him return.

The police jacket was thick and heavy enough, but it was still not long enough. Wei Yi took off a coat from the hanger and covered Han Jifei with it, which woke him up.

"Ah." Han Jifei muttered, patted his forehead angrily and said, "I actually fell asleep."

Waking up early in the election for two consecutive days, the exhaustion was particularly difficult to relieve. He just wanted Han Jifei to go back to the dormitory to sleep, but suddenly remembered that he had scolded Han Jifei in the morning because he forgot to eat. I didn't care, and bought him food.

"What happened in the morning..." Wei Yi hadn't finished speaking, but Han Jifei said, "It was my fault in the morning, Brother Wei, don't blame me, I panicked at the time."

Han Jifei admitted his mistake very sincerely, "You yelled at me back, and I realized that if the voter inside moved the ballot box, our work today would be useless. I am inexperienced and not thoughtful enough. I'm sorry."

Wei Yi had nothing to say for a moment.

Unexpectedly, when Han Jifei went to pull his hand, Wei Yi didn't react and didn't dodge for a while. "I was really scared at the time, and I was a little wronged, but I know, Brother Wei, you are doing it for my own good."

Wei Yi struggled to free his hand, and at this moment he acted like a girl who was at a loss, "I'm at work, don't talk about it."

"Oh." Han Jifei looked extremely aggrieved, even more aggrieved than when he scolded him in the morning.

Wei Yi returned to his seat, and with bureaucracy on his back, he said to Han Jifei: "Just be aware of the problem, and pay attention to it next time. No matter where you are, remember what you do. Look at the ticket box. You have to keep watching, and you can't leave."

Han Jifei nodded emphatically, and said to Wei Yi, "Brother Wei, I understand."

"Thank you for the meal, go back to sleep when you're sleepy, and go out and help me take out the trash."

"Brother Wei, don't you take a break?"

"I'll write the materials." Wei Yi's voice was a little cold, because he suddenly remembered that Han Jifei was holding his hand just now.

"Oh." Han Jifei replied resentfully, took the empty lunch box that Wei Yi put back in the bag, and went out.

Wei Yi got up and opened the window. The cold air poured in, lowering the temperature in the room and diluting the smell of food in the air. Wei Yi's drowsy mind suddenly woke up. He picked up his phone and sent Han Jifei's WeChat message I got a red envelope of 30 yuan.After a while, Han Jifei came back with a question mark, and Wei Yi typed and said to him, "Lunch money."

Han Jifei didn't accept it, and sent him a bunch of ellipsis to express his dissatisfaction.After a while, Han Jifei said: "Do you have to be so clear?" There was still a little anger in the words.

Wei Yi smiled wryly, so he had to reply a bunch of ellipsis to Han Jifei.

After a while, Wei Yi received a bunch of photos about the election sent by Han Jifei on his mobile phone, including a selfie. I don't know if it was intentional. Wei Yi clicked on it and saw that this young face , happy or unhappy are all displayed on it, the smile looks silly, and there is a trace of fatigue and tiredness in the photo.

When he finished looking at the photo and tapped the screen to exit the interface, the place where he originally posted the selfie showed that it had been withdrawn, and then a WeChat message came over. "Brother Wei, the photo of the election."

"Well, I see, you go to sleep for a while."
