long shot

At 10:30 in the morning, just after the meeting, Shi Jiu went to the leader's office with his notebook in his pocket.

Originally, he planned to ask the leader for leave, but as soon as he entered the door, the leader greeted him with a look of looking for him.

As soon as the two sat down, the leader mentioned to him that he might be transferred to Qinghai Oilfield.

Shi Jiu pretended not to know, surprised, and asked why he went to Qinghai so soon.

His reaction was that the leader thought it was normal, but he just told him that it was not easy to achieve a level balance in the oil field, and he patted Shi Jiu meaningfully on the shoulder, saying that young people should work hard, although the conditions there are not good, but the small place can get up Soon, the future is boundless.He also told him that in two days the minister and the party committee organization would come to him for an organizational talk. After the talk, both sides would basically issue documents at the same time. Shi Jiu would hand over the work at hand and wait for the new official to take office.

Shi Jiu was a little puzzled, it was the Chinese New Year, so why should he be transferred?I just transferred to Nian Gen'er. Could it be possible that I would squat on the plateau and eat tsampa at the age of thirty?

You don't need to ask about this matter, you know who did it. He took me away, and his wife and mother belonged to him. Why do you think it's so beautiful...

So depressed that he got off work, Shi Jiu went to pick up the mayor as agreed the day before.

The mayor had something to do temporarily, so he asked the secretary-general to call Shi Jiu to wait in the reception room.

The mayor’s family background is quite good. His ancestral home is in Shanghai. His father graduated from St. John’s University and later merged into Fudan. He followed his teacher to the local construction at a young age. The daughter-in-law he found was also an intellectual, so the environment in which the mayor grew up Very good, these years have been well-behaved, one step at a time, even marrying a wife is arranged by the old man, although a bit ugly, but the background of her mother's family should not be underestimated, everything is for him to go better and further.

The mayor also arranged for Shi Yan in the same way, hoping that he would develop in his official career in the end and support the third generation of the Shi family.

For this youngest son who has rarely seen each other for more than [-] years, the mayor also gave some help.

It is not easy for a woman to bring a child, so Shi Jiu can go back to the oil field smoothly after graduating from university, and he is still fat.

Unexpectedly, because of Shi Yan's illness, in the end, he found out that this youngest son is not worthy of education.

He is low-key, seasoned and tactful, much better than the domineering Shi Yan he is used to, he doesn't show off at work, he will leave when he paves the way, and he will not neglect if there is no movement, and let the mayor do everything except marriage. Very satisfied.

But because I didn’t take care of it for many years before, the mayor couldn’t bring himself to talk about this matter. He just wanted to take it slowly. It doesn’t matter if he is older. Shi Yan is not a wife who only married in her 30s, although she is also ugly. A little bit, but still young and good family background.

Ke Xi Yibei's son came to this muddy water viciously, which simply made the bright pearl dusty.

The mayor explained what happened before, but he didn't quite know how the people under him handled things.

When Wang Guangqi gave the collected copy to the mayor, the mayor didn't say anything, but raised his hand and slapped him, and Wang Guangqi tactfully tore up the evidence on the spot.

The mayor is a little annoyed.

It's like watching a small bug that's an eyesore, trying to kick it away, only to have it come up and bite your big toe.It's endless, and it really makes people want to crush it to death.

There is nothing wrong with any official. The mayor is taking care of his face and face so well now. A small lawyer still wants to report himself on his own territory and seek the king's law...

If there are tears, you have to bear it back, if you have death, you can only pretend to have amnesia, here you are Wang Fa.

It's inconvenient for me to say much to Wang Guangqi in the office, but my attitude has already made it clear, and he knows what to do.

The mayor wanted to quickly get Shi Jiu out of this mess.That kid definitely came here with a purpose, don't look back and jump over the wall to ruin Shi Jiu.

As for Shi Jiu's mother, this old woman has long hair but no knowledge, and the mayor doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as her. Shi Jiu waited for half an hour before the secretary came and asked him to go in.

Entering the mayor's office, the old guy just finished drinking a mug of tea, his mouth was full of tea leaves, and when the two saw each other, he just spit it into the cup.

Seeing the mayor like this, Shi Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth.

Thinking that the mayor is quite informal, he hesitated in front of his face, tsk-tsk loudly, which was shocking.

After the mayor finished picking off the ridges on his lips, Shi Jiu told him about going to Qinghai. It's useless to complain to him for a long time.

Shi Jiu didn't force it when he saw that there was nothing going on, so he drove him to find Jiao Lin as originally planned.

Along the way, the mayor chatted about work and urban construction. In short, his face was full of joy, not at all like someone who was stinked early in the morning.

Shi Jiu wanted to try and talk to him about his mate finding, but the old guy just kept talking about other things, but in the end he couldn't get off the topic, so he told Shi Jiu earnestly that finding a mate depends on character, Find someone who is sincerely with you.

When the mayor said this, his face was light, without any anger, but it was obvious that he refused to talk about it.

The car drove to the nursing home, and was informed that Mr. Jiao had gone hiking in the morning, and he hadn't come down yet.

There is a relatively famous small hill in this city.

But in summer, there are so many trees and dense grass, it’s cool and good for exercising. Shi Jiu really can’t figure out what to do in the winter without a cat blowing warm wind at home and blowing smoky wind on the mountain... Go up and blow your face. Why bother to come down.

But there was no other way, Shi Jiu had no choice but to drive there, tossing and tossing for an hour to the top of the mountain, when we met Jiao Lin, dressed in white sportswear, standing alone on a boulder in the mountain, facing the pine trees and pouring the wind, following closely Like a martial arts master.

The mountain wind howled, Jiao Lao stretched out his five fingers towards the void, but the flies didn't catch a single one, and he didn't know what he wanted to catch.

Shi Jiu was about to ask the tree stump beside him what he was doing there, but he turned his head and found that the hair on both sides of the mayor's bald head was blown and stood up, like Lei Zhenzi, Shi Jiu wanted to pretend that he didn't know him.

Several men stood at a distance, Shi Jiu also stopped walking knowingly, watching Lao Lei Zhenzi step forward by himself.

As soon as the mayor left, Mr. Jiao did not commit suicide, he quickly got down from the rock to chat with the mayor, and greeted Shi Jiu warmly when he saw Shi Jiu.

A group of people strolled down the mountain. Although the mayor was much younger than Mr. Jiao, his health was far worse, and he died after only halfway down. His head was sweating profusely, and his legs were trembling, as if he had just given birth. Jiao Lin couldn't stand it any longer, and insisted on letting him go down in the car, saying that it would be fine for the young man to accompany him.

The mayor didn't agree at first, but after a while he couldn't take it any longer, so he left Shi Jiu behind and walked away with the driver.

Shi Jiu deliberately walked with the old man for a while.

But at first they said something useless, basically what he said, so Shi Jiu found something to talk to him, and then the topic successfully turned to the past, Jiao Lin was very generous in bringing up the past, saying that he had I worked in the municipal committee here, when the mayor was still working in the oil production plant below, and the two met because of his wife's family relationship.

But Jiao Lin didn't have a good relationship with the mayor at the beginning, but he was on good terms with Xi Yibei, saying that he was very nice, but it's a pity that he died too early and was confused.

Speaking of this, the old man felt that he had talked a little too much. Seeing that he had reached the foot of the mountain, he patted Shi Jiu on the shoulder with a smile, and said that the young man is quite interesting. If he is not busy with work, he can accompany him to climb the mountain, play ball and so on. Anyway, it's boring to come here to recuperate by yourself.

-

Yan Xi didn't go to the institute.

It doesn't matter if you don't go anyway, everyone probably thinks they are still under review.

After getting up, Yan Xi packed up her things at home, and then went out to the bank to withdraw cash.

There is not much cash in the bank card. Yan Xi has not bought a house or invested in these years. All the money has been converted into US dollars and transferred out of the country, so that one day he can leave as soon as he wants.

As a result, it will not be easy for the police to find themselves based on bank withdrawal records in the future.

Yan Xi packed up all the documents, thought for a while, and then randomly took out a photo from Shi Jiu's album and put it in his wallet.

The mayor has a network of connections all over the world, and he is just trying to kill himself. He really can't delay for a moment, and he will leave tomorrow, no, it must be today.

Shi Jiu left the car, and some things in the house, such as the computer... I paid the rent for two years, I guess I will come back in two years, right?

By the way, I haven't told Shi Jiu yet, I have to say it, it's definitely not possible to just leave like this.

Thinking of this, Yan Xi began to dial Shi Jiu's phone number over and over again, and hung up over and over again.

It was hard to think of an excuse, but Shi Jiu's phone showed that he was not in the service area.

Yan Xi sat on the sofa with cold hands and feet.

The light at noon was brilliant, but to Yan Xi, it was like the setting sun in the afterglow.

Lighting a cigarette for herself, Yan Xi remembered that there was a flight at one o'clock.

If only he had called Shi Jiu earlier, or if he had spoken to him this morning.

But I can wait for him for an hour, or two hours, if I can’t wait for him to go to work and wait at the gate of his unit, then go to the airport after talking, and take whatever catches up.

The soot accumulated on the old man fell on Yan Xi's pants, rolled to the upper of the shoe, and shattered into a pile of powder.

It burns out without even smoking a single cigarette.

After realizing it, Yan Xi threw off the ashes on his body, put the cigarette in the ashtray, and turned on the TV casually.

Amidst the laughter, the cell phone rang especially abruptly and sharply.

Yan Xi quickly picked up the phone, but what was displayed was not Shi Jiu's number, but an unfamiliar landline number.

After hesitating for a while, Yan Xi still picked it up.

The caller was a buddy I met in the middle court, and I guess he didn't know about Yan Xi's investigation yesterday.

The two met by chance, and Yan Xi had done him a small favor before, and this person kept it in mind. Didn't he just find a way to tell Yan Xi that the Intermediate People's Court had just received an order and was about to start investigating the case Yan Xi had handled before.

The thing is obvious, Yan Xi has handled so many cases, opportunistic, forged and defrauded, pick out a client at random, and with a little favor, he can stand up and complain against unscrupulous lawyers.

If things go on like this, Yan Xi will soon become a thief among people, a dog in the water. At that time, the mayor behind the scenes will not need to do it himself, and the spitting stars of the people can drown people.

Yan Xi didn't hear what the man was saying until later, but he just thought it was quite funny.

This is the purgatory that Yan Xi lived in. He was originally a sprite, who showed others with minions, and people repaid him with sticks.

Don't expect forgiveness, enjoy isolation.

But if we could do it all over again,

Yan Xi only wishes that she never made this trip.
