[Rebirth] Hello, Lord Mayor
Work related
Even the tearful entreaties failed to pull back the stubborn cow.
Fortunately, Xie Dong's family is rich, and most people in the city know that he will not be easily provoked. The only one who can contend with him is Li Feng, who has been quiet, so Xie Dong has lived quite peacefully in the past three years when he became a gangster. .
It was an hour after everything was loaded into the car. Qi Ning and Qi Xia got into Xie Dong's flamboyant red sports car, followed by several Honda Kings. The trunk of the Honda King was full of several cars. The big box, just like this, walked all the way to the city.
Xie Dong has been in the underworld for the past three years. He has not been a fool for nothing, and has moved to a few bars. At this time, the bar industry is booming, and the profits are snowballing. At this point, Uncle Xie and his aunt must have been pissed off.
"Moving so many things to your house, I will have to move to T University soon, why don't I find a place to put my things down first." After thinking about it, Qi Ning still felt that something was wrong, but he had just finished speaking. Xie Dong immediately said: "Who said you want to move to my house? Even if you agree, I won't, and I won't be allowed to move there for you at that time. So, brother, I decided to stop to the end, let's go straight to T University .”
"The house hasn't been settled yet." Qi Xia whispered on his brother's shoulder.
Xie Dong turned to look at her, "Sister, you don't believe in my character anymore, don't you? Who on the road won't sell me Xie Dong's face? I already asked someone to find a good house last night. It's a small courtyard house with a good environment. , security is also good, I am sure you like it."
Qi Ning did not expect him to move so fast, and asked after a while: "Is the house rented or sold? How much?"
"The whole family went abroad not long ago, so it is for sale. The price has been negotiated, 7."
"So cheap?" Even ten years ago, the price was cheaper.
Xie Dong smiled disapprovingly, "It's a bit cheap for that house, but I've already negotiated the price with someone, 7 is the final price, and you, Qi Ning, will be the owner of this house in the future, haha."
Qi Ning also laughed, feeling that he owed Xie Dong another favor.
"Don't think too much if you're a brother, wouldn't you help me like this when I'm in trouble?" With just one glance at Xie Dong, he could see through Xie Dong's thoughts, and Qi Ning finally accepted Xie Dong's arrangement with a nod.
T University is on the east side of the city, half a city away from Yinglan High School. It was already after [-]:[-] pm when we arrived at the small courtyard that Xie Dong mentioned. After moving in, the house was cleaned by Xie Dong in advance, and they can move in at any time. Qi Xia jumped up and down like a little sparrow, and Qi Ning stood in the small yard and looked at the tree in the middle of the yard. Dashu suddenly felt his eye sockets heat up.
Such a peaceful and comfortable life, he thought that this life had already been missed.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Xie Dong stood beside him at some point, looking at him with his arms crossed.
"Well, I'm very satisfied, thank you." Qi Ning turned to look at him, among thousands of words, only this sentence can best express his mood at the moment.
Xie Dong hooked his shoulder with a smile, "Ah Ning, we have known each other for more than ten years, I don't need your thanks, I just need you to treat me as a brother."
Qining nodded vigorously and punched him with a smile.
"By the way, your house has already found a buyer." Finally, Xie Dong remembered this matter.
Qi Ning looked at him in surprise, "So fast?"
"Well, she is a young single woman who said she likes the environment there." Xie Dong himself felt that the reason was far-fetched, but seeing Qi Ning's expression was very normal, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Qi Ning suddenly said: "Thank you!" Dong, I don't want to sell that house."
"what?"
"Well, I won't sell it anymore, let's keep it, after all, it's the only thing my parents left me and Qixia, I don't want to sell it," his expression was calm under the light, and his voice was soft when he spoke , but Xie Dong felt that something was flowing in his eyes, like light too fast to capture, "Think of this small courtyard house as if I borrowed money from you to buy it, and I will return it to you in the future."
Xie Dong waved his hand, making it clear that he didn't want to mention the money.
"Brother, this place is so beautiful, will we really live here in the future?" Qi Xia poked his head out from the window on the second floor with a sweet and innocent smile.
Qi Ning smiled and hummed, Xie Dong had already spoken first: "Sister, do you like the home that brother found for you?"
Qi Xia nodded, "I like it, I like it so much, I won't need to live in a dormitory in the future, haha."
"Qi Xia will be promoted to high school soon, and her transfer procedures must be done quickly." Xie Dong reminded softly beside him, and Qi Ning nodded, feeling that everything was like a dream, Qi Xia did not die, Li Feng did not die, He didn't kill anyone, he moved, and he was about to start college life, all of which were too unreal.
"Let me handle the transfer procedures." Seeing him distracted, Xie Dong thought he was bothering with the formalities, so he immediately volunteered.
Qi Ning raised his head to look at him, and then at the cheerful Qi Xia, "No need, I'll take care of it, don't forget, I'm her guardian."
"I know, can't I stop taking credit from you?" Xie Dong raised the white flag to surrender, and then called his brothers to go out for dinner. Xie Dong was right. There is a big supermarket 100 meters away, and there are drugstores and bookstores next to it. Qi Ning thinks that the house must be more than 7 yuan, but seeing Xie Dong’s smiling face when talking to Qi Xia He swallowed the question back again.
6 to
It was past ten o'clock when I came back from dinner called supper, and Qi Ning was holding the black mobile phone, but his mind was wandering, and he didn't even hear Qi Xia calling him.
"Brother." Qi Xia sat beside him in a lake-blue nightdress, Qining came back to his senses and put the phone behind him, "Are you sure you can't sleep in bed?"
Qi Xia shook his head and fell into his arms, playing with the buttons of his shirt, "Brother, don't work so hard in the future, we will pay back the money owed to Brother Dong when I grow up, okay?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Qi Ning smiled slightly, "Okay, we will pay back when Xiao Xia is successful."
"Brother, I want to grow up quickly."
"Ok?"
"When I grow up, I can lighten my brother's burden."
"Ah."
"Brother, I was very scared when I was caught by Li Feng, but as long as I think that you will come to rescue me immediately, I will not be afraid of anything."
"Brother, we will never be separated again..."
Qining stroked her hair, and the person in her arms had already fallen asleep.
After breakfast the next day, Qi Ning returned to Yinglan High School with relevant documents. Although the college entrance examination was over, the school was not on holiday yet. The teachers in the school smiled and said congratulations when they saw him, Qi Ning, this time it must be another First.
Qining rubbed his nose and laughed twice and went straight to the principal's office. There seemed to be guests in the principal's office. Qining knocked on the door cautiously. After a while, the principal's old voice came from inside, "Come in."
Pushing open the door, the headmaster's face like a dead wood appeared in sight immediately, Qi Ning bent down and saluted respectfully, "Hello, headmaster."
"Qi Ning, why are you here suddenly?" The principal saw the person coming from behind the prescription glasses, his face became like a chrysanthemum with a smile, and then he said to the opposite guest: "Xiao Rui, look This is Qi Ning who has won a lot of honor for our Yinglan High School, he is really a sensible kid."
After hearing the voice of Xiao Rui, Qi Ning was taken aback, and then scolded himself for thinking too much, and before he finished his mental training, a low and magnetic voice came into his ears, "I have read his information, it is indeed A piece of material for reading."
"Qining, this is the mayor of our city. When he was your age, he had already completed all university courses. Both of you are outstanding talents." Ouyang Rui on the side was drinking tea from a blue and white porcelain teacup, as if it was the first time seeing him.
"Hello, Mayor." Qi Ning said to Ouyang Rui who was opposite him, and then quickly lowered his head. Last time in the car, the light was too dark to see the man's facial features clearly. The quick glance just now was enough to amaze him. The words majestic and elegant were not born out of nowhere. The man in front of him can make people feel powerful just by sitting quietly. His slender body is wrapped in black casual clothes. The feeling of being thin and weak, on the contrary, seems to contain countless energies, which may be triggered at any time.
Ouyang Rui put down his teacup, and his voice became lighter, "Hi, student Qi Ning."
In fact, the procedures for transferring to another school are both difficult and easy to say. With Qi Ning winning glory for Yinglan High School many times, the principal will naturally approve it without saying a word. Qi Ning just wants to leave here quickly with the documents. Knowing that Ouyang Rui also stood up in good time, "Uncle Liu, I'll come to meet you for tea another day, and I have something to deal with later."
The headmaster naturally smiled and saw him off, "If you are so busy, don't take the time to come here, and don't delay the business."
"Don't delay, I'll come over when I'm free. You always have to take care of your health. Did you finish the ginseng tea I asked Xiaoyan to bring you last time? I'll ask him to bring some more tomorrow."
"No, no, I brought so much last time and I haven't finished eating. If you have something to do, go quickly." The principal smiled and shook Ouyang Rui's hand, as kind as his own son, and then turned his head Said to Qi Ning, who was neither staying nor staying, "Qining, send the mayor off for me."
"Okay." Qining replied in a low voice and opened the door of the principal's office.
The sunlight outside was so strong that people could only squint their eyes to see the scenery in front of them. Qi Ning stood at the side of the corridor and waited for Ouyang Rui to come out. After a while, the man walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Standing under the sun, he walked over and pulled him into the shade, "Aren't you hot from the direct sun?"
Looking away, Qi Ning passed the phone from the one he was holding just now, "Thank you for the phone."
Ouyang Rui took the phone, looked at his red cheeks, and drew an arc with his thin lips: "You're welcome."
"Mayor, then I'll leave first." Qining was uncomfortable with the other party's gaze, so he had no choice but to run away without any hope, but none of his wishful thinking came true. He only listened to Ouyang Rui. He said slowly: "This is my first time in Yinglan, why don't you show me around."
"Uh... well."
Qi Ning felt that all his calmness would be lost in front of this person for no reason, only the feeling of being led by the nose flowed in his heart, and he was surprised when he walked beside Ouyang Rui that this person was more than a head taller than himself , although 1.7 meters is not tall among boys, but it is not short, but compared with the person around you, you can see who is superior.
7 The world is big
"This is the third year of high school." Walking out of the principal's office is the classroom where Qi Ning once studied. The door plaque of Class One of the third year of high school looks very friendly, and even the voice has become much softer.
Ouyang Rui stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the old house number and nodded slightly, "You came out of this classroom, right?"
Qi Ning looked at him in surprise, and after a while slowly said: "Yes, there are 56 students in our class, and after the college entrance examination, we will go our separate ways." The friendship in high school is the most innocent, without any stake and purpose, it would be great if people could stay at this stage forever.
"You applied to the university in this city? Which one?"
"T is big."
Ouyang Rui just nodded and stopped talking. The two stood in the corridor of the senior three campus, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing clearly. Qi Ning stood silently beside Ouyang Rui, feeling as if the world had suddenly become quiet. , the scorching sun stretched all the way to the position in front of the two of them and stopped moving forward. The eyes of the two people in the shadows stayed on the playground in front of them. The boys playing football under the hot sun were sweating And youth, looks so lively and chic.
"It's nice to be young." Ouyang Rui said suddenly, the yearning in his tone was magnified several times.
Qi Ning nodded slightly, agreeing with his words, Ouyang Rui looked at the elegant-looking young man beside him with a smile, "A 17-year-old is not qualified to have such an idea."
When Qi Ning realized it, he couldn't help being amused, how could he have forgotten that he is only 17 years old now.
"Actually, you are not old, mayor."
Ouyang Rui is far from the mayor he imagined, at least, although the person in front of him is in a high position, his words and deeds are full of sincerity and humor. It is melting little by little.
"25 years old, people say that three years old is a generation hook, more than two generations older than you." Ouyang Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a smile, the look in his eyes was full of smiles, and Qi Ning was slightly stunned. He also laughed, "The distance of 8 years old is actually nothing, it mainly depends on people's mentality."
Ten years is actually a long time.
Especially when personal freedom is imprisoned, the way of dealing with time will become extremely stubborn. Except for being bullied and abused when he first entered, Qi Ning lived quite peacefully for the next few years. Economic criminals are generally intellectuals. Some of them are full of talents but ruined their lives because of a single move. Qi Ning has learned a lot from them, such as patience, strength, self-confidence and courage to face reality.
I remember the middle-aged uncle who lived in the same cell told him that age is not the master of everything. When youth is gone, the only thing we have is a healthy mentality.
That was the first time that Qi Ning really understood his situation.
He has always felt guilty because of Qi Xia's death, felt his personality was dirty because he killed Li Feng, and lost confidence in the future because he became a murderer, until the middle-aged uncle said such a sentence, it was like a slap in the face.
"What you said makes sense." Ouyang Rui cast his eyes on the playground, where the boys were all rushing towards the goal. The football drew a parabola in the air and went straight to the goal. The goalkeeper leaned forward with both arms Zhang Kai was ready to block the ball back at any time. Everyone's eyes were glued to the black and white football. In the end, the ball was scored and everyone was cheering. Players from both sides walked out shoulder to shoulder. playground.
Qi Ning didn't speak, and stood beside Ouyang Rui, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
Ouyang Rui turned his head and just saw his quiet side face, under the delicate eyebrows were smart eyes, long and curly eyelashes, quivering like a butterfly resting on a flower heart, a small nose and a small mouth, such The facial features should belong to girls, but they didn't feel disobedient at all in the boy in front of him, and instead added a bit of heroism.
"Qining," Ouyang Rui said suddenly, and Qi Ning turned his head and slammed into the man's gentle eyes in surprise, "Has anyone ever told you that the world is big, but family affection is bigger than the world?"
Qi Ning shook his head blankly, not understanding why Ouyang Rui said such words suddenly.
Ouyang Rui patted him on the shoulder naturally, "I think you must be the best brother in the world."
In the following years, whenever Qi Ning thought of Ouyang Rui's expression when he said this sentence, he would involuntarily think that this man always has the power to move people inexplicably.
Ever since his parents passed away, no matter how hard he worked, no one had ever told him like this, telling him that his hard work was not in vain, telling him that everything he did was worthwhile, for Qi Xia, for the sake of Jiuquan Parents, but also for themselves.
The two have been standing in the corridor, talking without saying a word, until the bell rang for the end of class, and the students from the teaching downstairs poured out like fish. The calmness restored after the excitement made people feel very relieved, Ouyang Rui straightened up and took care of it. He straightened his clothes and said to him, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."
"I moved yesterday." Qining lowered his head and his voice was a little fuzzy.
As smart as Ouyang Rui, he naturally understood immediately, and solemnly promised: "I'm sorry about Li Feng, and he won't bother you again in the future."
His serious attitude made Qi Ning a little embarrassed, Li Feng is Li Feng, Ouyang Rui is Ouyang Rui, these two people can't be connected at all, even with the title of relative, but subconsciously, Qi Ning has Ouyang Rui has been classified into the group that can be friends, but he has not thought of this level yet as to whether he can become friends.
The subway has long been popularized in this city where industry, agriculture and commerce are advancing side by side. Ouyang Rui drove Qi Ning to the subway station before turning the steering wheel and walking back. At the crowded subway station entrance, Qi Ning stood in the corner and watched the black car go away. Only then slowly turned around and walked inside.
He knew about Ouyang Rui early on.
This man is serious and upright, and he is serious about serving the people, but he does not live long.
He was found dead at home. The cause of death was a momentary shock caused by overwork. He was only 32 years old.
He remembered that the whole country was shocked by this incident, and the people of Jianning City even guarded the mourning hall for seven days and nights for him, for this mayor who worked hard and loved the people, and for this young man who worked hard for the people and died.
Counting from now, one day seven years later, Ouyang Rui may die of exhaustion in his study without people knowing. There are so many people in the subway that even flies cannot fly past, but Qi Ning I shivered violently.
When we got home, Qi Xia had already prepared lunch. Qi Ning smiled slightly at the steaming home-cooked food on the table, and then saw Qi Xia in a cute cartoon apron coming out of the kitchen, holding a large A bowl of fish head soup, put the documents in his hand on the sofa, and Qining walked over to take the bowl from her hand and put it on the dining table.
"Brother, Brother Dong chose this place is really good, the supermarket is just a few steps away, it's so convenient." Qi Xia took off her apron and put it on the back of a chair beside her, smiling from ear to ear.
Looking at her pretty face, the guilt in Qi Ning's heart was growing crazily again. If it wasn't for his lack of ability as a brother, a 15-year-old girl shouldn't be stuck at home all day and unable to go anywhere. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand Go over and hold Qi Xia's hand, "Xiao Xia, let's go to the beach to play in two days."
Qi Xia didn't expect him to say such a thing, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes and then was well covered up, "No need brother, it's so hot to go to the beach now, why don't you just watch TV at home and sleep."
Her refusal was too straightforward, and Qi Ning couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, what a silly girl, she was clearly worried about their current income and expenditure situation but insisted on giving such a high-sounding reason.
Xie Dong came over in the afternoon. At that time, Qi Ning was flipping through newspapers in his room, carefully looking for recruitment information. Xie Dong knocked on the door loudly. When Qi Xia went to open the door, many neighbors had already opened the doors and windows. See what's going on.
"Sister, why did it take you so long to open the door?" Xie Dong was smoking a cigarette, with wine red hair on his head, he looked like a gangster.
Qi Xia smiled at him, "I'm preparing dinner, Brother Dong, you should stay for dinner tonight."
Xie Dongben came here to have a meal. Hearing what she said was exactly what she wanted, he couldn't help but smile even more happily, "Okay, then I'm lucky. Where's your brother?"
"In the house." Qi Xia welcomed him into the door and went to the kitchen to get busy. Xie Dong pushed open the door. Qi Ning was copying the recruitment information he had found on a piece of paper one by one. He didn't even care when Xie Dong came in. , Xie Dong leaned over to look at the words he wrote on the paper, and smacked his lips: "I said, Ah Ning, can you stop writing such beautiful words? If my old man sees me, I will have to be scolded for a long time."
Qi Ning just smiled and put the paper away, "Uncle Xie hates iron but not steel."
"He's just afraid that I'll embarrass him." Xie Dong pouted disapprovingly.
"Why are you here today? Does your gang have nothing to do?" Qining spoke slowly after sitting down on the sofa in the living room.
8 Tokugawa
Xie Dong suppressed his smile, "Li Feng has gone abroad, and he just took off for more than ten minutes."
This was unexpected news. The first thing Qi Ning thought of was Ouyang Rui's serious expression in the morning. It turned out that Ouyang Rui's promise was so powerful. Seeing that he was distracted, Xie Dong bumped him with his elbow. Ning responded vaguely, he never lied, so Xie Dong had already guessed some clues with just a subtle expression, and couldn't help but leaned over to look at him carefully, "Do you know that Li Feng is going abroad?"
Qi Ning shook his head, and replied honestly: "You told me just now, but I met Ouyang Rui this morning."
"Oh?" The deliberately procrastinated ending made Qi Ning feel guilty, but he couldn't explain why, but Xie Dong looked at him with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect our mayor to be so decisive." people."
Ouyang Rui's resolute action used to be seen only in newspapers and TV, but now it is everywhere like air.
Such a rigorous person is so decisive even when dealing with private matters. It is no wonder that under his jurisdiction, Jianning City has been rated as one of the top five cities in the country for several years in a row.
Such a person should not be short-lived.
At least, it shouldn't be discovered after he died. If someone went in to see him at that time, maybe he wouldn't die.
"What kind of person do you think Ouyang Rui is?" Xie Dong suddenly said, and Qi Ning was stunned for a moment before recovering and answered somewhat vaguely: "Not sure."
Xie Dong raised his long legs with a pensive expression, tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said after a long time: "Actually, as long as this person can bring us a good life, good The living environment is enough, and other things are not something we should worry about, right?"
Although Xie Dong said it unintentionally, Qi Ning frowned for no reason. It was because too many people had such thoughts, so Ouyang Rui died young without a wife, let alone a son. Thinking of the man he saw in the morning wearing black casual clothes and the faint smile on his handsome face, Qining felt panicky in his heart.
"Xie Dong, I think he is a good person." Qi Ning said quietly, his voice was a little low in the quiet room, Xie Dong put one hand on his shoulder, and looked down at his sad face, "What's the matter? Didn't he recover just now?" Is he a good person? I heard that several foreign developers wanted to bribe him, but the mayor flatly refused."
Qi Ning naturally understands that refusing those people is like leaving endless troubles for himself. If you have to rely on bribery to achieve something, then this matter will naturally not be glorious, but Ouyang Rui offended people by acting so decisively It should be a common thing.
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Qi Ning's mind, he was startled and his face turned pale instantly.
Xie Dong was quite frightened by his appearance, even when Lan Qing took off his clothes in front of everyone, he never saw him so flustered, "A-Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Ning slowly turned his head and grabbed his wrist, "Xie Dong, I don't think Ouyang Rui should have died so early. I don't think his death was accidental, it must be man-made!"
Xie Dong blinked his eyes, he understood every word that Qi Ning said, but when combined together, he didn't understand anything, Qi Ning's face was frighteningly pale, making the eyes on his face even brighter and weirder, Xie Dong patted Patting him on the cheek worried: "Ah Ning, what are you talking about? Isn't Ouyang Rui alive and well? Is he dead or not?"
It was only after being told that that Qi Ning came to his senses. Ouyang Rui was indeed dead, but that was seven years later, and he is still alive and well now.
Thinking of this, Qi Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that his face returned to normal, Xie Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he was really worried that Ah Ning was possessed by something unclean.
"You just said that Ouyang Rui..."
"It's okay, I'm talking nonsense." Qi Ning interrupted him, a few cold sweats broke out on his forehead, it's better not to tell Xie Dong the truth now, he certainly won't believe it.
Xie Dong saw that his face was normal, so he didn't ask any more questions, and talked about it for a while, and finally the sky darkened.
Facts have proved that Xie Dong's arrival was the right choice. Looking at the delicious dishes on the dinner table, Xie Dong thought that he would never go home for dinner again, so he just came to Qi Ning and waited for the owner to sit down. As soon as he got down, he took up a chair, honestly stuffed vegetables into his mouth, and did not forget to praise: "Sister, your skill is almost as good as that of a chef in a five-star hotel, are you interested in becoming a chef? I'll get someone to take you later, I know a brother, Te Niu, the dishes he cooks are really delicious."
Qi Xia laughed sullenly, but didn't respond.
On the contrary, Qi Ning was taken aback, and turned to ask his sister: "Do you want to go?"
Seeing her brother asking this question, Qi Xia thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "I like cooking very much, but, will this delay my study?"
"No, no, that buddy usually has to go to work, and he only has time on weekends. I'll talk to him later and see if I can teach you on weekends. Don't worry, that buddy has a first-class chef certificate." Thank you Dong was burying his head in eating, but he immediately got excited when he heard what Qi Xia said. Only the simple Qi Xia couldn't see his small thoughts, but Qi Ning knew it well, it must be the one in Xie Dong's mouth. The first-level chef was too stupid, and Xie Dong, who couldn't catch the delicious food, shifted his target to others. Although Qi Xia might not be able to keep up with that first-level chef, those who come from the chef should barely be able to solve the problem of gluttony.
Xie Dong, who was caught by Qi Ning, pretended he didn't see anything and continued to bury his head in his meal, his heart was already blooming with joy.
The next day, Qi Ning went to a middle school that was closer to T University. Although it was not as good as Yinglan High School, it was still a well-known school in the city. The principal was very enthusiastic when he saw Qi Ning, even a little too enthusiastic Before Qi Ning explained why he came, the man had already spoken first: "Qining, I used to hear Yinglan's teachers talk about you, but today I saw you, and you really are a good seed."
With a smile on his face, Qi Ning complained in his heart: Ten years ago, when you knew that I was a murderer, I was not like this.
Ten years ago, Qi Ning surrendered himself, and the horrifying case of a three-good student killing someone with a knife and the horrible reality made the former friendly classmates and teachers far away. Those disgusting eyes and disgusted faces are still remembered by Qi Ning. It is very clear that the principal of Dechuan Middle School in front of him was the one who yelled the most at that time. He was the first one to stand up in court and accuse himself of being a dirty person because Li Feng was the nephew of his second uncle's uncle's neighbor. .
How ridiculous, these people did not hesitate to step on Ouyang Rui with their feet in order to climb up to him.
This society is indeed outrageously realistic.
If it weren't for the fact that Tokugawa's good teaching and learning environment is second only to Yinglan, Qi Ning would never have made this trip. The person named Li Gang in front of him disgusted him.
"Principal Li, you're being polite. I'm here today for my sister's transfer procedures." Qining rescued his hand from Li Gang's, and the smile on his face froze.
Li Gang asked him to sit down, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "I have already seen Lingmei's grades, I just wonder if your Qi family has hereditary, otherwise why are you two brothers and sisters so good at studying? "
Qi Ning smiled politely and perfunctorily.
Inheritance of that kind of thing is basically dispensable in other respects besides appearance.
Learning well is nothing more than understanding the six words that knowledge changes destiny.
"Our Dechuan Middle School welcomes students as outstanding as Qi Xia to join us." The transfer procedure came to an end after Li Gang's concluding speech. He stopped suddenly and looked at the boulevard not far away. On one side of the road was the teacher's dormitory and on the other side was the playground. At this time, two people came from the end of the boulevard.
What are the odds of meeting someone twice in less than 24 hours?Is it a kind of fate to meet unexpectedly even after a distance of half a city?
The two people walking on the tree-lined road easily saw him, and another person called out his name, it was Xiao Yan.
9 Need
"Student Qi Ning, long time no see." Xiao Yan put one hand in his pocket, and the other hand held the black coat slung over his shoulder, with a familiar smile still on his handsome face, Qi Ning nodded politely , said politely: "Director Xiao, hello."
"Why are you here?" The man beside Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, his voice still deep and sweet.
Qi Ning looked at him, he was wearing a conservative Chinese tunic suit today, he just wrapped a 25-year-old young man into an old-fashioned look, Qi Ning didn't like him dressed like this, he frowned subconsciously, and along the way Following his gaze, Ouyang Rui also looked down at his attire, and couldn't help but smile.
Being discovered by someone, this realization made Qi Ning a little embarrassed, the temperature on his face continued to rise, "I'm here to handle the transfer procedures for my sister." In order to hide the heat on his face, he had to quickly change the subject.
"Is it done?" Ouyang Rui looked at him and asked unhurriedly.
"All right."
"How old is your sister?"
"I'm going to be 16 soon."
"Really? This is indeed the age of high school. The entrance score of Tokugawa Middle School is not low, so we need to work hard."
"Well, I'll let her work hard."
Xiao Yan watched these two people chatting back and forth with great enjoyment, and finally found a chance to intervene: "It's almost noon now, let's find a place to eat."
"No, my sister is waiting for me at home."
People who are not related to Li Feng can't get too close, this sentence is naturally the standard for people other than Ouyang Rui.
If there were only him and Ouyang Rui today, he would be very happy, but this Xiao Yan is not easy to deal with, so let's keep him at a respectful distance.
"You'll miss lunch when you go back now, so go back after having dinner with us."
When a gentle person makes a gentle request with a gentle voice, it is usually impossible for people to refuse, so Qi Ning obediently got into Xiao Yan's car and went along. Time seemed to go back to that night when Xiao Yan drove the car, He sat in the back seat with Ouyang Rui, the car was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat, the difference was his state of mind, he was anxious and desperate that night, but now he is calm and composed, with nothing but a faster heartbeat.
Shouldn't a mayor be very busy?
There are endless meetings, endless documents to sign, and endless inspections of people's sentiments. If he hadn't known early in the morning that the man beside him had the most upright character and the spirit of taking the welfare of the people as his own responsibility, he would have met Ouyang Rui in two days. With two chances, he would definitely think that the mayor must be a corrupt official with nothing to do.
"Is it okay to eat Cantonese food?" Ouyang Rui's voice came suddenly, and Qining pulled back his thoughts and hummed lightly.
Xiao Yan smiled while driving: "Didn't we just agree to eat hot pot?" There were countless jokes in his voice.
Qi Ning felt that there was something in Xiao Yan's words, but he heard Ouyang Rui say slowly: "It's easy to get angry when eating hot pot in summer, let's eat Cantonese food to cool down and get angry."
"Oh... obey!" Xiao Yan's deliberately dragged away monophonic voice made Qi Ning feel uncomfortable, the feeling was not strong but stuck there faintly.
The car soon stopped in front of a restaurant named Qinyuanchun, and immediately a waiter in uniform and a white hat came to park the car. Xiao Yan walked in with a coat in one hand, and Qi Ning followed Ouyang Rui Walking in step by step behind him, Ouyang Rui's figure is very good, with a standard nine-headed body, wide shoulders, thin waist and narrow hips, any clothes on his body are as elegant and calm as a model, and with that eye-catching face, No matter where you go, you will attract countless envious eyes.
Walking behind such a superb man, Qi Ning felt a lot of pressure.
Unexpectedly, the superb man in front suddenly stopped and turned back to him with a smile, "Hungry!"
Fortunately, Xie Dong's family is rich, and most people in the city know that he will not be easily provoked. The only one who can contend with him is Li Feng, who has been quiet, so Xie Dong has lived quite peacefully in the past three years when he became a gangster. .
It was an hour after everything was loaded into the car. Qi Ning and Qi Xia got into Xie Dong's flamboyant red sports car, followed by several Honda Kings. The trunk of the Honda King was full of several cars. The big box, just like this, walked all the way to the city.
Xie Dong has been in the underworld for the past three years. He has not been a fool for nothing, and has moved to a few bars. At this time, the bar industry is booming, and the profits are snowballing. At this point, Uncle Xie and his aunt must have been pissed off.
"Moving so many things to your house, I will have to move to T University soon, why don't I find a place to put my things down first." After thinking about it, Qi Ning still felt that something was wrong, but he had just finished speaking. Xie Dong immediately said: "Who said you want to move to my house? Even if you agree, I won't, and I won't be allowed to move there for you at that time. So, brother, I decided to stop to the end, let's go straight to T University .”
"The house hasn't been settled yet." Qi Xia whispered on his brother's shoulder.
Xie Dong turned to look at her, "Sister, you don't believe in my character anymore, don't you? Who on the road won't sell me Xie Dong's face? I already asked someone to find a good house last night. It's a small courtyard house with a good environment. , security is also good, I am sure you like it."
Qi Ning did not expect him to move so fast, and asked after a while: "Is the house rented or sold? How much?"
"The whole family went abroad not long ago, so it is for sale. The price has been negotiated, 7."
"So cheap?" Even ten years ago, the price was cheaper.
Xie Dong smiled disapprovingly, "It's a bit cheap for that house, but I've already negotiated the price with someone, 7 is the final price, and you, Qi Ning, will be the owner of this house in the future, haha."
Qi Ning also laughed, feeling that he owed Xie Dong another favor.
"Don't think too much if you're a brother, wouldn't you help me like this when I'm in trouble?" With just one glance at Xie Dong, he could see through Xie Dong's thoughts, and Qi Ning finally accepted Xie Dong's arrangement with a nod.
T University is on the east side of the city, half a city away from Yinglan High School. It was already after [-]:[-] pm when we arrived at the small courtyard that Xie Dong mentioned. After moving in, the house was cleaned by Xie Dong in advance, and they can move in at any time. Qi Xia jumped up and down like a little sparrow, and Qi Ning stood in the small yard and looked at the tree in the middle of the yard. Dashu suddenly felt his eye sockets heat up.
Such a peaceful and comfortable life, he thought that this life had already been missed.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Xie Dong stood beside him at some point, looking at him with his arms crossed.
"Well, I'm very satisfied, thank you." Qi Ning turned to look at him, among thousands of words, only this sentence can best express his mood at the moment.
Xie Dong hooked his shoulder with a smile, "Ah Ning, we have known each other for more than ten years, I don't need your thanks, I just need you to treat me as a brother."
Qining nodded vigorously and punched him with a smile.
"By the way, your house has already found a buyer." Finally, Xie Dong remembered this matter.
Qi Ning looked at him in surprise, "So fast?"
"Well, she is a young single woman who said she likes the environment there." Xie Dong himself felt that the reason was far-fetched, but seeing Qi Ning's expression was very normal, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Qi Ning suddenly said: "Thank you!" Dong, I don't want to sell that house."
"what?"
"Well, I won't sell it anymore, let's keep it, after all, it's the only thing my parents left me and Qixia, I don't want to sell it," his expression was calm under the light, and his voice was soft when he spoke , but Xie Dong felt that something was flowing in his eyes, like light too fast to capture, "Think of this small courtyard house as if I borrowed money from you to buy it, and I will return it to you in the future."
Xie Dong waved his hand, making it clear that he didn't want to mention the money.
"Brother, this place is so beautiful, will we really live here in the future?" Qi Xia poked his head out from the window on the second floor with a sweet and innocent smile.
Qi Ning smiled and hummed, Xie Dong had already spoken first: "Sister, do you like the home that brother found for you?"
Qi Xia nodded, "I like it, I like it so much, I won't need to live in a dormitory in the future, haha."
"Qi Xia will be promoted to high school soon, and her transfer procedures must be done quickly." Xie Dong reminded softly beside him, and Qi Ning nodded, feeling that everything was like a dream, Qi Xia did not die, Li Feng did not die, He didn't kill anyone, he moved, and he was about to start college life, all of which were too unreal.
"Let me handle the transfer procedures." Seeing him distracted, Xie Dong thought he was bothering with the formalities, so he immediately volunteered.
Qi Ning raised his head to look at him, and then at the cheerful Qi Xia, "No need, I'll take care of it, don't forget, I'm her guardian."
"I know, can't I stop taking credit from you?" Xie Dong raised the white flag to surrender, and then called his brothers to go out for dinner. Xie Dong was right. There is a big supermarket 100 meters away, and there are drugstores and bookstores next to it. Qi Ning thinks that the house must be more than 7 yuan, but seeing Xie Dong’s smiling face when talking to Qi Xia He swallowed the question back again.
6 to
It was past ten o'clock when I came back from dinner called supper, and Qi Ning was holding the black mobile phone, but his mind was wandering, and he didn't even hear Qi Xia calling him.
"Brother." Qi Xia sat beside him in a lake-blue nightdress, Qining came back to his senses and put the phone behind him, "Are you sure you can't sleep in bed?"
Qi Xia shook his head and fell into his arms, playing with the buttons of his shirt, "Brother, don't work so hard in the future, we will pay back the money owed to Brother Dong when I grow up, okay?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Qi Ning smiled slightly, "Okay, we will pay back when Xiao Xia is successful."
"Brother, I want to grow up quickly."
"Ok?"
"When I grow up, I can lighten my brother's burden."
"Ah."
"Brother, I was very scared when I was caught by Li Feng, but as long as I think that you will come to rescue me immediately, I will not be afraid of anything."
"Brother, we will never be separated again..."
Qining stroked her hair, and the person in her arms had already fallen asleep.
After breakfast the next day, Qi Ning returned to Yinglan High School with relevant documents. Although the college entrance examination was over, the school was not on holiday yet. The teachers in the school smiled and said congratulations when they saw him, Qi Ning, this time it must be another First.
Qining rubbed his nose and laughed twice and went straight to the principal's office. There seemed to be guests in the principal's office. Qining knocked on the door cautiously. After a while, the principal's old voice came from inside, "Come in."
Pushing open the door, the headmaster's face like a dead wood appeared in sight immediately, Qi Ning bent down and saluted respectfully, "Hello, headmaster."
"Qi Ning, why are you here suddenly?" The principal saw the person coming from behind the prescription glasses, his face became like a chrysanthemum with a smile, and then he said to the opposite guest: "Xiao Rui, look This is Qi Ning who has won a lot of honor for our Yinglan High School, he is really a sensible kid."
After hearing the voice of Xiao Rui, Qi Ning was taken aback, and then scolded himself for thinking too much, and before he finished his mental training, a low and magnetic voice came into his ears, "I have read his information, it is indeed A piece of material for reading."
"Qining, this is the mayor of our city. When he was your age, he had already completed all university courses. Both of you are outstanding talents." Ouyang Rui on the side was drinking tea from a blue and white porcelain teacup, as if it was the first time seeing him.
"Hello, Mayor." Qi Ning said to Ouyang Rui who was opposite him, and then quickly lowered his head. Last time in the car, the light was too dark to see the man's facial features clearly. The quick glance just now was enough to amaze him. The words majestic and elegant were not born out of nowhere. The man in front of him can make people feel powerful just by sitting quietly. His slender body is wrapped in black casual clothes. The feeling of being thin and weak, on the contrary, seems to contain countless energies, which may be triggered at any time.
Ouyang Rui put down his teacup, and his voice became lighter, "Hi, student Qi Ning."
In fact, the procedures for transferring to another school are both difficult and easy to say. With Qi Ning winning glory for Yinglan High School many times, the principal will naturally approve it without saying a word. Qi Ning just wants to leave here quickly with the documents. Knowing that Ouyang Rui also stood up in good time, "Uncle Liu, I'll come to meet you for tea another day, and I have something to deal with later."
The headmaster naturally smiled and saw him off, "If you are so busy, don't take the time to come here, and don't delay the business."
"Don't delay, I'll come over when I'm free. You always have to take care of your health. Did you finish the ginseng tea I asked Xiaoyan to bring you last time? I'll ask him to bring some more tomorrow."
"No, no, I brought so much last time and I haven't finished eating. If you have something to do, go quickly." The principal smiled and shook Ouyang Rui's hand, as kind as his own son, and then turned his head Said to Qi Ning, who was neither staying nor staying, "Qining, send the mayor off for me."
"Okay." Qining replied in a low voice and opened the door of the principal's office.
The sunlight outside was so strong that people could only squint their eyes to see the scenery in front of them. Qi Ning stood at the side of the corridor and waited for Ouyang Rui to come out. After a while, the man walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Standing under the sun, he walked over and pulled him into the shade, "Aren't you hot from the direct sun?"
Looking away, Qi Ning passed the phone from the one he was holding just now, "Thank you for the phone."
Ouyang Rui took the phone, looked at his red cheeks, and drew an arc with his thin lips: "You're welcome."
"Mayor, then I'll leave first." Qining was uncomfortable with the other party's gaze, so he had no choice but to run away without any hope, but none of his wishful thinking came true. He only listened to Ouyang Rui. He said slowly: "This is my first time in Yinglan, why don't you show me around."
"Uh... well."
Qi Ning felt that all his calmness would be lost in front of this person for no reason, only the feeling of being led by the nose flowed in his heart, and he was surprised when he walked beside Ouyang Rui that this person was more than a head taller than himself , although 1.7 meters is not tall among boys, but it is not short, but compared with the person around you, you can see who is superior.
7 The world is big
"This is the third year of high school." Walking out of the principal's office is the classroom where Qi Ning once studied. The door plaque of Class One of the third year of high school looks very friendly, and even the voice has become much softer.
Ouyang Rui stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the old house number and nodded slightly, "You came out of this classroom, right?"
Qi Ning looked at him in surprise, and after a while slowly said: "Yes, there are 56 students in our class, and after the college entrance examination, we will go our separate ways." The friendship in high school is the most innocent, without any stake and purpose, it would be great if people could stay at this stage forever.
"You applied to the university in this city? Which one?"
"T is big."
Ouyang Rui just nodded and stopped talking. The two stood in the corridor of the senior three campus, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing clearly. Qi Ning stood silently beside Ouyang Rui, feeling as if the world had suddenly become quiet. , the scorching sun stretched all the way to the position in front of the two of them and stopped moving forward. The eyes of the two people in the shadows stayed on the playground in front of them. The boys playing football under the hot sun were sweating And youth, looks so lively and chic.
"It's nice to be young." Ouyang Rui said suddenly, the yearning in his tone was magnified several times.
Qi Ning nodded slightly, agreeing with his words, Ouyang Rui looked at the elegant-looking young man beside him with a smile, "A 17-year-old is not qualified to have such an idea."
When Qi Ning realized it, he couldn't help being amused, how could he have forgotten that he is only 17 years old now.
"Actually, you are not old, mayor."
Ouyang Rui is far from the mayor he imagined, at least, although the person in front of him is in a high position, his words and deeds are full of sincerity and humor. It is melting little by little.
"25 years old, people say that three years old is a generation hook, more than two generations older than you." Ouyang Rui suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a smile, the look in his eyes was full of smiles, and Qi Ning was slightly stunned. He also laughed, "The distance of 8 years old is actually nothing, it mainly depends on people's mentality."
Ten years is actually a long time.
Especially when personal freedom is imprisoned, the way of dealing with time will become extremely stubborn. Except for being bullied and abused when he first entered, Qi Ning lived quite peacefully for the next few years. Economic criminals are generally intellectuals. Some of them are full of talents but ruined their lives because of a single move. Qi Ning has learned a lot from them, such as patience, strength, self-confidence and courage to face reality.
I remember the middle-aged uncle who lived in the same cell told him that age is not the master of everything. When youth is gone, the only thing we have is a healthy mentality.
That was the first time that Qi Ning really understood his situation.
He has always felt guilty because of Qi Xia's death, felt his personality was dirty because he killed Li Feng, and lost confidence in the future because he became a murderer, until the middle-aged uncle said such a sentence, it was like a slap in the face.
"What you said makes sense." Ouyang Rui cast his eyes on the playground, where the boys were all rushing towards the goal. The football drew a parabola in the air and went straight to the goal. The goalkeeper leaned forward with both arms Zhang Kai was ready to block the ball back at any time. Everyone's eyes were glued to the black and white football. In the end, the ball was scored and everyone was cheering. Players from both sides walked out shoulder to shoulder. playground.
Qi Ning didn't speak, and stood beside Ouyang Rui, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
Ouyang Rui turned his head and just saw his quiet side face, under the delicate eyebrows were smart eyes, long and curly eyelashes, quivering like a butterfly resting on a flower heart, a small nose and a small mouth, such The facial features should belong to girls, but they didn't feel disobedient at all in the boy in front of him, and instead added a bit of heroism.
"Qining," Ouyang Rui said suddenly, and Qi Ning turned his head and slammed into the man's gentle eyes in surprise, "Has anyone ever told you that the world is big, but family affection is bigger than the world?"
Qi Ning shook his head blankly, not understanding why Ouyang Rui said such words suddenly.
Ouyang Rui patted him on the shoulder naturally, "I think you must be the best brother in the world."
In the following years, whenever Qi Ning thought of Ouyang Rui's expression when he said this sentence, he would involuntarily think that this man always has the power to move people inexplicably.
Ever since his parents passed away, no matter how hard he worked, no one had ever told him like this, telling him that his hard work was not in vain, telling him that everything he did was worthwhile, for Qi Xia, for the sake of Jiuquan Parents, but also for themselves.
The two have been standing in the corridor, talking without saying a word, until the bell rang for the end of class, and the students from the teaching downstairs poured out like fish. The calmness restored after the excitement made people feel very relieved, Ouyang Rui straightened up and took care of it. He straightened his clothes and said to him, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."
"I moved yesterday." Qining lowered his head and his voice was a little fuzzy.
As smart as Ouyang Rui, he naturally understood immediately, and solemnly promised: "I'm sorry about Li Feng, and he won't bother you again in the future."
His serious attitude made Qi Ning a little embarrassed, Li Feng is Li Feng, Ouyang Rui is Ouyang Rui, these two people can't be connected at all, even with the title of relative, but subconsciously, Qi Ning has Ouyang Rui has been classified into the group that can be friends, but he has not thought of this level yet as to whether he can become friends.
The subway has long been popularized in this city where industry, agriculture and commerce are advancing side by side. Ouyang Rui drove Qi Ning to the subway station before turning the steering wheel and walking back. At the crowded subway station entrance, Qi Ning stood in the corner and watched the black car go away. Only then slowly turned around and walked inside.
He knew about Ouyang Rui early on.
This man is serious and upright, and he is serious about serving the people, but he does not live long.
He was found dead at home. The cause of death was a momentary shock caused by overwork. He was only 32 years old.
He remembered that the whole country was shocked by this incident, and the people of Jianning City even guarded the mourning hall for seven days and nights for him, for this mayor who worked hard and loved the people, and for this young man who worked hard for the people and died.
Counting from now, one day seven years later, Ouyang Rui may die of exhaustion in his study without people knowing. There are so many people in the subway that even flies cannot fly past, but Qi Ning I shivered violently.
When we got home, Qi Xia had already prepared lunch. Qi Ning smiled slightly at the steaming home-cooked food on the table, and then saw Qi Xia in a cute cartoon apron coming out of the kitchen, holding a large A bowl of fish head soup, put the documents in his hand on the sofa, and Qining walked over to take the bowl from her hand and put it on the dining table.
"Brother, Brother Dong chose this place is really good, the supermarket is just a few steps away, it's so convenient." Qi Xia took off her apron and put it on the back of a chair beside her, smiling from ear to ear.
Looking at her pretty face, the guilt in Qi Ning's heart was growing crazily again. If it wasn't for his lack of ability as a brother, a 15-year-old girl shouldn't be stuck at home all day and unable to go anywhere. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand Go over and hold Qi Xia's hand, "Xiao Xia, let's go to the beach to play in two days."
Qi Xia didn't expect him to say such a thing, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes and then was well covered up, "No need brother, it's so hot to go to the beach now, why don't you just watch TV at home and sleep."
Her refusal was too straightforward, and Qi Ning couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, what a silly girl, she was clearly worried about their current income and expenditure situation but insisted on giving such a high-sounding reason.
Xie Dong came over in the afternoon. At that time, Qi Ning was flipping through newspapers in his room, carefully looking for recruitment information. Xie Dong knocked on the door loudly. When Qi Xia went to open the door, many neighbors had already opened the doors and windows. See what's going on.
"Sister, why did it take you so long to open the door?" Xie Dong was smoking a cigarette, with wine red hair on his head, he looked like a gangster.
Qi Xia smiled at him, "I'm preparing dinner, Brother Dong, you should stay for dinner tonight."
Xie Dongben came here to have a meal. Hearing what she said was exactly what she wanted, he couldn't help but smile even more happily, "Okay, then I'm lucky. Where's your brother?"
"In the house." Qi Xia welcomed him into the door and went to the kitchen to get busy. Xie Dong pushed open the door. Qi Ning was copying the recruitment information he had found on a piece of paper one by one. He didn't even care when Xie Dong came in. , Xie Dong leaned over to look at the words he wrote on the paper, and smacked his lips: "I said, Ah Ning, can you stop writing such beautiful words? If my old man sees me, I will have to be scolded for a long time."
Qi Ning just smiled and put the paper away, "Uncle Xie hates iron but not steel."
"He's just afraid that I'll embarrass him." Xie Dong pouted disapprovingly.
"Why are you here today? Does your gang have nothing to do?" Qining spoke slowly after sitting down on the sofa in the living room.
8 Tokugawa
Xie Dong suppressed his smile, "Li Feng has gone abroad, and he just took off for more than ten minutes."
This was unexpected news. The first thing Qi Ning thought of was Ouyang Rui's serious expression in the morning. It turned out that Ouyang Rui's promise was so powerful. Seeing that he was distracted, Xie Dong bumped him with his elbow. Ning responded vaguely, he never lied, so Xie Dong had already guessed some clues with just a subtle expression, and couldn't help but leaned over to look at him carefully, "Do you know that Li Feng is going abroad?"
Qi Ning shook his head, and replied honestly: "You told me just now, but I met Ouyang Rui this morning."
"Oh?" The deliberately procrastinated ending made Qi Ning feel guilty, but he couldn't explain why, but Xie Dong looked at him with a smile on his face, "I didn't expect our mayor to be so decisive." people."
Ouyang Rui's resolute action used to be seen only in newspapers and TV, but now it is everywhere like air.
Such a rigorous person is so decisive even when dealing with private matters. It is no wonder that under his jurisdiction, Jianning City has been rated as one of the top five cities in the country for several years in a row.
Such a person should not be short-lived.
At least, it shouldn't be discovered after he died. If someone went in to see him at that time, maybe he wouldn't die.
"What kind of person do you think Ouyang Rui is?" Xie Dong suddenly said, and Qi Ning was stunned for a moment before recovering and answered somewhat vaguely: "Not sure."
Xie Dong raised his long legs with a pensive expression, tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said after a long time: "Actually, as long as this person can bring us a good life, good The living environment is enough, and other things are not something we should worry about, right?"
Although Xie Dong said it unintentionally, Qi Ning frowned for no reason. It was because too many people had such thoughts, so Ouyang Rui died young without a wife, let alone a son. Thinking of the man he saw in the morning wearing black casual clothes and the faint smile on his handsome face, Qining felt panicky in his heart.
"Xie Dong, I think he is a good person." Qi Ning said quietly, his voice was a little low in the quiet room, Xie Dong put one hand on his shoulder, and looked down at his sad face, "What's the matter? Didn't he recover just now?" Is he a good person? I heard that several foreign developers wanted to bribe him, but the mayor flatly refused."
Qi Ning naturally understands that refusing those people is like leaving endless troubles for himself. If you have to rely on bribery to achieve something, then this matter will naturally not be glorious, but Ouyang Rui offended people by acting so decisively It should be a common thing.
A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Qi Ning's mind, he was startled and his face turned pale instantly.
Xie Dong was quite frightened by his appearance, even when Lan Qing took off his clothes in front of everyone, he never saw him so flustered, "A-Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Ning slowly turned his head and grabbed his wrist, "Xie Dong, I don't think Ouyang Rui should have died so early. I don't think his death was accidental, it must be man-made!"
Xie Dong blinked his eyes, he understood every word that Qi Ning said, but when combined together, he didn't understand anything, Qi Ning's face was frighteningly pale, making the eyes on his face even brighter and weirder, Xie Dong patted Patting him on the cheek worried: "Ah Ning, what are you talking about? Isn't Ouyang Rui alive and well? Is he dead or not?"
It was only after being told that that Qi Ning came to his senses. Ouyang Rui was indeed dead, but that was seven years later, and he is still alive and well now.
Thinking of this, Qi Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that his face returned to normal, Xie Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he was really worried that Ah Ning was possessed by something unclean.
"You just said that Ouyang Rui..."
"It's okay, I'm talking nonsense." Qi Ning interrupted him, a few cold sweats broke out on his forehead, it's better not to tell Xie Dong the truth now, he certainly won't believe it.
Xie Dong saw that his face was normal, so he didn't ask any more questions, and talked about it for a while, and finally the sky darkened.
Facts have proved that Xie Dong's arrival was the right choice. Looking at the delicious dishes on the dinner table, Xie Dong thought that he would never go home for dinner again, so he just came to Qi Ning and waited for the owner to sit down. As soon as he got down, he took up a chair, honestly stuffed vegetables into his mouth, and did not forget to praise: "Sister, your skill is almost as good as that of a chef in a five-star hotel, are you interested in becoming a chef? I'll get someone to take you later, I know a brother, Te Niu, the dishes he cooks are really delicious."
Qi Xia laughed sullenly, but didn't respond.
On the contrary, Qi Ning was taken aback, and turned to ask his sister: "Do you want to go?"
Seeing her brother asking this question, Qi Xia thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "I like cooking very much, but, will this delay my study?"
"No, no, that buddy usually has to go to work, and he only has time on weekends. I'll talk to him later and see if I can teach you on weekends. Don't worry, that buddy has a first-class chef certificate." Thank you Dong was burying his head in eating, but he immediately got excited when he heard what Qi Xia said. Only the simple Qi Xia couldn't see his small thoughts, but Qi Ning knew it well, it must be the one in Xie Dong's mouth. The first-level chef was too stupid, and Xie Dong, who couldn't catch the delicious food, shifted his target to others. Although Qi Xia might not be able to keep up with that first-level chef, those who come from the chef should barely be able to solve the problem of gluttony.
Xie Dong, who was caught by Qi Ning, pretended he didn't see anything and continued to bury his head in his meal, his heart was already blooming with joy.
The next day, Qi Ning went to a middle school that was closer to T University. Although it was not as good as Yinglan High School, it was still a well-known school in the city. The principal was very enthusiastic when he saw Qi Ning, even a little too enthusiastic Before Qi Ning explained why he came, the man had already spoken first: "Qining, I used to hear Yinglan's teachers talk about you, but today I saw you, and you really are a good seed."
With a smile on his face, Qi Ning complained in his heart: Ten years ago, when you knew that I was a murderer, I was not like this.
Ten years ago, Qi Ning surrendered himself, and the horrifying case of a three-good student killing someone with a knife and the horrible reality made the former friendly classmates and teachers far away. Those disgusting eyes and disgusted faces are still remembered by Qi Ning. It is very clear that the principal of Dechuan Middle School in front of him was the one who yelled the most at that time. He was the first one to stand up in court and accuse himself of being a dirty person because Li Feng was the nephew of his second uncle's uncle's neighbor. .
How ridiculous, these people did not hesitate to step on Ouyang Rui with their feet in order to climb up to him.
This society is indeed outrageously realistic.
If it weren't for the fact that Tokugawa's good teaching and learning environment is second only to Yinglan, Qi Ning would never have made this trip. The person named Li Gang in front of him disgusted him.
"Principal Li, you're being polite. I'm here today for my sister's transfer procedures." Qining rescued his hand from Li Gang's, and the smile on his face froze.
Li Gang asked him to sit down, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "I have already seen Lingmei's grades, I just wonder if your Qi family has hereditary, otherwise why are you two brothers and sisters so good at studying? "
Qi Ning smiled politely and perfunctorily.
Inheritance of that kind of thing is basically dispensable in other respects besides appearance.
Learning well is nothing more than understanding the six words that knowledge changes destiny.
"Our Dechuan Middle School welcomes students as outstanding as Qi Xia to join us." The transfer procedure came to an end after Li Gang's concluding speech. He stopped suddenly and looked at the boulevard not far away. On one side of the road was the teacher's dormitory and on the other side was the playground. At this time, two people came from the end of the boulevard.
What are the odds of meeting someone twice in less than 24 hours?Is it a kind of fate to meet unexpectedly even after a distance of half a city?
The two people walking on the tree-lined road easily saw him, and another person called out his name, it was Xiao Yan.
9 Need
"Student Qi Ning, long time no see." Xiao Yan put one hand in his pocket, and the other hand held the black coat slung over his shoulder, with a familiar smile still on his handsome face, Qi Ning nodded politely , said politely: "Director Xiao, hello."
"Why are you here?" The man beside Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, his voice still deep and sweet.
Qi Ning looked at him, he was wearing a conservative Chinese tunic suit today, he just wrapped a 25-year-old young man into an old-fashioned look, Qi Ning didn't like him dressed like this, he frowned subconsciously, and along the way Following his gaze, Ouyang Rui also looked down at his attire, and couldn't help but smile.
Being discovered by someone, this realization made Qi Ning a little embarrassed, the temperature on his face continued to rise, "I'm here to handle the transfer procedures for my sister." In order to hide the heat on his face, he had to quickly change the subject.
"Is it done?" Ouyang Rui looked at him and asked unhurriedly.
"All right."
"How old is your sister?"
"I'm going to be 16 soon."
"Really? This is indeed the age of high school. The entrance score of Tokugawa Middle School is not low, so we need to work hard."
"Well, I'll let her work hard."
Xiao Yan watched these two people chatting back and forth with great enjoyment, and finally found a chance to intervene: "It's almost noon now, let's find a place to eat."
"No, my sister is waiting for me at home."
People who are not related to Li Feng can't get too close, this sentence is naturally the standard for people other than Ouyang Rui.
If there were only him and Ouyang Rui today, he would be very happy, but this Xiao Yan is not easy to deal with, so let's keep him at a respectful distance.
"You'll miss lunch when you go back now, so go back after having dinner with us."
When a gentle person makes a gentle request with a gentle voice, it is usually impossible for people to refuse, so Qi Ning obediently got into Xiao Yan's car and went along. Time seemed to go back to that night when Xiao Yan drove the car, He sat in the back seat with Ouyang Rui, the car was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat, the difference was his state of mind, he was anxious and desperate that night, but now he is calm and composed, with nothing but a faster heartbeat.
Shouldn't a mayor be very busy?
There are endless meetings, endless documents to sign, and endless inspections of people's sentiments. If he hadn't known early in the morning that the man beside him had the most upright character and the spirit of taking the welfare of the people as his own responsibility, he would have met Ouyang Rui in two days. With two chances, he would definitely think that the mayor must be a corrupt official with nothing to do.
"Is it okay to eat Cantonese food?" Ouyang Rui's voice came suddenly, and Qining pulled back his thoughts and hummed lightly.
Xiao Yan smiled while driving: "Didn't we just agree to eat hot pot?" There were countless jokes in his voice.
Qi Ning felt that there was something in Xiao Yan's words, but he heard Ouyang Rui say slowly: "It's easy to get angry when eating hot pot in summer, let's eat Cantonese food to cool down and get angry."
"Oh... obey!" Xiao Yan's deliberately dragged away monophonic voice made Qi Ning feel uncomfortable, the feeling was not strong but stuck there faintly.
The car soon stopped in front of a restaurant named Qinyuanchun, and immediately a waiter in uniform and a white hat came to park the car. Xiao Yan walked in with a coat in one hand, and Qi Ning followed Ouyang Rui Walking in step by step behind him, Ouyang Rui's figure is very good, with a standard nine-headed body, wide shoulders, thin waist and narrow hips, any clothes on his body are as elegant and calm as a model, and with that eye-catching face, No matter where you go, you will attract countless envious eyes.
Walking behind such a superb man, Qi Ning felt a lot of pressure.
Unexpectedly, the superb man in front suddenly stopped and turned back to him with a smile, "Hungry!"
