Tan Qiping put down the phone, still thinking about Song Qiaosheng's indifference to Chen Huai, the nephew, in his tone.

Looking up at the window, I happened to see Chen Huai leaving Building 1 in his coat and heading towards the parking lot by the lake. I don’t know what he is doing.

Chen Huai intends to make things happen for Wu Haifeng, but Tan Qiping speculated that he still wanted to stay in Donghua, but at the same time he felt it was a little strange...

Tan Qiping only remembered that he hadn't asked about Chen Huai's age yet, but judging from his appearance, he was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and he was very young. He thought that with his life experience, it would be best if he had been with the central ministries and commissions for a few years.

Even if you are interested in a career, you will be able to get promoted to the level of the department at around 30 and then consider the local side of the situation, which is the correct choice for the wealthy families like them.

After Chen Mingde passed away, although Chen Huai was very experienced in dealing with people and things, he was still young and had little experience. Now he stayed alone in Donghua, which would not be a good thing for his future development.

Tan Qiping originally wanted to have a deep conversation with Chen Huai, but then he thought that Song Qiaosheng's attitude towards Chen Huai seemed a little cold on the phone just now, so hesitated.

The old man of the Song family is eighty-three this year, and the Song family will still be headed by Song Qiaosheng in the future.

If Chen Huai cannot please Song Qiaosheng, he will likely be marginalized in the Song family in the future. Tan Qiping couldn't help but think: If he took the initiative to support a child who was marginalized in the Song family, what would Song Qiaosheng think?

***************

Gao Tianhe held Wu Haifeng for a while in Building 6, and pretended to say a lot of comfort to Chen Mingde's lover before he was able to leave and return to his exclusive Building 2.

The dozen or so small villas behind the main building of Nanyuan are like "palaces" standing in the quiet night.

Gao Tianhe returned to the room, closed the windows tightly, closed the curtains, and untied his collar that was almost breathless.

After a while, a knock on the door sounded, and Gao Tianhe shouted in a calm voice: "Come in!"

Ge Yongqiu carefully pushed the door open.

Gao Tianhe restrained himself and waited for Ge Yongqiu to cover the door, then slapped the table and asked, "What's going on?"

Ge Yongqiu said in a crying voice: "It's indeed the little beast Chen Huai is talking nonsense. I didn't say a word to him at all. Even if I came from the municipal government, Zhou Yu would still come with him. Besides, Mayor Gao, you know that what happened in the morning is no different from hitting me in the face. I..."

"I'm sorry to lend you some courage, I don't dare to do it," Gao Tianhe sat down, pressed his back against the chair, and looked at Ge Yongqiu with his eyes narrowed. He didn't think Ge Yongqiu would betray him, and asked, "Think about it, is there something missing?"

"I'm afraid I'm not careful enough to do things," Ge Yongqiu thought of a few doubts, but he would not admit in front of Gao Tianhe that he was careless about doing things - losing Gao Tianhe's trust was something he could not bear. "Maybe when Secretary Wu rushed Chen Huai, Peng Yong couldn't wait to lead Chen Mingde's death to that matter, asking Chen Huai to hear something strange from just a few words... But Chen Huai is not as smart as a person!"

Ge Yongqiu said in his heart: Peng Yong, Peng Yong, you are dead anyway, don’t blame me for taking the blame.

"Maybe it was because I underestimated this Chen Huai before," Gao Tianhe frowned and said speculatively, "or maybe it was Zhou Yu who said something unnecessary."

"If there are any extra words, it can only be said by Zhou Yu," Ge Yongqiu said in Gao Tianhe's tone, "But Zhou Yu cannot know the details..."

"Zhou Yu may not be able to see through it," Gao Tianhe frowned and asked Ge Yongqiu to hide the truth. There were many key points that he couldn't figure out. "Even if Zhou Yu saw through it, he would remind many of the surname Wu and would not put the surname Wu in reverse..."

"What should I do now?" Ge Yongqiu asked carefully.

"It may not be a bad thing," Gao Tianhe said with a frown. "No matter how to deal with the whole thing, we can't get us up. After all, it was Wu Haifeng who was vague about the province. Even if Wu Haifeng hated us, it wouldn't matter. The key is to see how the province views the whole thing..."

Ge Yongqiu thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, the province must deal with this matter seriously. Maybe he will really take off the position of Secretary of the Wu Haifeng Municipal Party Committee; but what Tan Qiping just said just now seemed to ask Chen Huai alone, for fear that they would see something..."

"Even if Chen Huai is flexible in his mind and sees some pearl silk traces, what else can he report to Tan Qiping? And the province will not hope that the situation will be further complicated, so don't worry about anything. Just keep your mouth shut," Gao Tianhe shook his head and signaled Ge Yongqiu not to worry too much. Then he said, "Although Wu Haifeng asked you to make a review, he can't just do you. Peng Yong, you can also comfort me first. I will make arrangements for him in the future. No more misses in this matter."

"That Shen Huai..."

"Don't pay attention to it first, wait until the incident is over." Gao Tianhe said that, then waved his hand and asked Ge Yongqiu to go out, and sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

If Chen Huai leaves Donghua, he will have no choice but to do anything to him; if he stays in Donghua, he will be asked to sit on the bench for a few years. After all, there are still some things that cannot be seen through, and acting recklessly is not his style. If he hadn't seen Chen Mingde in a hurry to attack the city steel factory this time, he wouldn't have taken this risk...

***************

Chen Huai took a cigarette from the car and walked to the water platform by the lake to lit a cigarette.

Chen Huai found that he could still see him in the building; he didn't like to stand in the light that others could observe, and walked a few steps into the metasequoia forest to the east, squatting in the shadows by the lake, smoking while watching the shadows of the trees sinking into the lake.

Opposite Cuihu Lake is the city center of Donghua.

Except for the TV Tower outlining a string of lights, most other places have fallen into a quiet night, and there is no scent of prosperity.

Not to mention the impression of Chen Huai in memory fragments about the bustling overseas cities, he has traveled to many places across the country over the years, which makes him feel very touched by the lag in the development of Donghua City.

Speaking of which, Donghua City is also close to the river and the sea, and is the earliest coastal city to be opened to the public.

The three districts and six counties have a population of 7 million, with sufficient human resources and sufficient educational resources.

In the mid-to-early 1980s, Donghua's industrial foundation was still ranked among the top three in the province, and there were several pillar enterprises engaged in steel smelting, shipbuilding and machinery manufacturing.

However, in the 1990s, with several pillar state-owned enterprises falling rapidly and the private economy did not become active, Donghua's economy was left behind by other cities and cities one after another.

The city steel mill is a typical example. When the benefits are good, the profit is more than 300 million yuan a year, which is almost one-tenth of the local finances in Donghua City at that time. Now, in the hands of Gu Tong and others, it has become such a mess.

On the other side of Cuihu Lake, there is a Tianheng Building invested and built by a city steel factory.

When the project was launched in 1990s, the Municipal Steel Plant claimed to invest 200 million yuan to build the first skyscraper in Donghua City that is over 100 meters long. However, I didn’t expect that as soon as the foundation of Tianheng Building was laid, the Municipal Steel Plant fell into operational difficulties and could no longer withdraw a large amount of funds to carry out construction.

In the past three years, it was only after the urging of the municipal party committee and government that Tianheng Building had difficulty in closing, but there was no capital investment in the follow-up project, so it took almost half a year to stop there.

As soon as night came, Tianheng Building was dark and there was no light at all, as if there was a piece missing in the city center of Donghua City, like a dazzling scar on the entire city.

Not only the municipal steel mill, but also the overall decline of all the municipal state-owned enterprises in Donghua and the serious economic lag. Shen Huai, who is in it, can see clearly and think through it clearly. So far, it makes people feel sad.

"Since such a big thing happened in the city, Secretary Wu was also very passive. Now Secretary Wu has designated me to accompany Mayor Chen's lover, hoping that things can be saved. Besides, there are no other lesbians in the city. What do you ask me to do?"

Chen Huai looked at Cuihu in the night and was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Zhou Yu's voice coming from outside.

Chen Huai looked out of the woods and saw Zhou Yu strode towards the lake while holding a "big brother" on the phone. He looked quite impatient and seemed to be arguing with her husband: "Please don't make any unreasonable trouble. I'm really working. If you don't believe it, you'll come to Nanyuan to see you. You're not angry with you, how do you want me to explain to you?"

Chen Huai thought to himself: Does Zhou Yu's husband suspect that she was stealing someone outside if she didn't go home so late?

It’s no wonder that although Zhou Yu’s husband was paralyzed in the hospital bed, he was not dead in the prevention of thieves. How could he not understand how tender and tender a piece of beauty and flesh Zhou Yu would be in the eyes of other men when flowers bloomed?

Although Zhou Yu relies on his strong background and is not afraid of others' unwritten rules for her, who can guarantee that Zhou Yu can survive the loneliness of being a widow and not find a lover to comfort his soul?

Chen Huai was going to remind Zhou Yu, but when he heard her private words quarrel with her husband, he hesitated whether to ask Zhou Yu to know that he was in the dark.

Before Chen Huai could react, Zhou Yu, who was quarreling with her husband on the phone, walked into the Metasequoia forest and asked Chen Huai not to say anything.

"Cough!" Chen Huai coughed gently, reminding Zhou Yu that he was in the woods.

However, Zhou Yu was still defending her husband why she couldn't go back tonight and did not notice Chen Huai's existence.

Chen Huai stood up and greeted Zhou Yu: "Secretary General Zhou, come out and take a breath!"

Zhou Yu never thought that there was someone in the Metasequoia forest, who was full of anger over her husband's suspicion and over-sensitivity, and could not let others hear jokes. He was determined to get into the forest and would have a good fight with her husband. He rushed to Chen Huai, and then suddenly realized that a black shadow stood up in front of her, almost pressing against the tip of her nose.

"Ah!" Zhou Yu screamed, and then smashed the "big brother" in his hand on the face, tripped the shadow on his feet, and threw his body forward.

Chen Huai has been in trouble for eight lifetimes and has given him a ruthless forehead. When Zhou Yu fell, he supported his hand on his chest, which also made him feel unbalanced and fell straight backwards.

Chen Huai subconsciously wanted to grab something, but he just grabbed Zhou Yu's arm that was holding on his chest, and threw Zhou Yu directly into his arms. The two of them hugged each other like rolling around.
