Chapter 67: Rivalry
He was extremely excited. His wife came to the countryside to find him, which dispelled the rumors that his wife would not come to the countryside. It is a glorious thing for a city woman to marry in the countryside, and she is still such a beautiful woman.
Thinking of this, Liu Hao's mouth was already dry, but he had to endure it. In the countryside, it was normal to visit each other during the day. If the two of them stayed in the same room during the day, it would get a bad reputation after a long time.
"I'll stay tonight." Gu Lan said softly to her husband.
"Don't you think it's inconvenient to go to the toilet here?" Liu Hao asked in surprise.
"As long as you are here, I won't be afraid of anything." Gu Lan said with burning eyes.
Liu Hao couldn't help but think to himself, his wife came twice, stayed only for one night, and had to leave the next day. At that time, he couldn't save her. It seemed that people can change.
Love will really change a woman and can change everything about her...
"Honey, how about... we go to the mountains to catch hares in the afternoon?"
"Can you catch up?"
"It's not a chase, it's a good trap and we'll hide it."
"Wow! This is fun, take me there now."
"Wait a minute, accompany me to the town first."
"When I came to town, I looked around and there were only a few shops, but there wasn't anything good to buy."
"It's not rare for you to come here. I'll take you to show off. My parents' faces will be brightened when people talk about them."
"Why do you act like a child sometimes?"
"No, every time you come here, you don't have time to leave some obsessions!"
"Husband, I'm sorry, I was too willful, can you forgive me?" Gu Lan said and shed tears.
Hey, woman! Made of water.
"Look at you, you're fine, why are you still crying? How can a husband and wife have an overnight feud? You say yes, clean up and let's go out." Liu Hao wiped the tears on his wife's face and coaxed.
Liu Hao took his parents and a family of four to the town in Gu Lan's Daben.
The village where the town is located is Liu's mother's family, and several of Liu Hao's uncles live there. They took turns walking around for an hour. Liu Hao was thinking about taking his wife up the mountain, so he left his parents chatting.
After saying goodbye and getting into the car, my wife Gu Lan's phone rang. She answered the call and talked for a while. Liu Hao came over and apologized and said: "Husband, Zhang Ji, the son of our general manager, was arrested in your county.
"
"If he's caught, just catch him." Liu Hao said nonchalantly.
"Why didn't you ask why he was arrested?"
Gu Lan stared at her husband's face as she spoke, trying to see something from it, but she was disappointed.
"Why?" Liu Hao asked following his wife's words.
Gu Lan still stared into her husband's eyes and said slowly: "Someone acted bravely and rescued the female reporter who was eating barbecue. This matter made the news. Didn't you know?"
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't turn on my phone today. Of course I didn't know."
"The man who intended to bully the female reporter is the son of our boss."
"Ah...it's him." Liu Hao said with a surprised look on his face.
"Husband, have you seen him?" Gu Lan seemed to feel that she had caught something and asked excitedly.
"I haven't seen it before." Liu Hao shook his head seriously, as if he really had never seen it before.
The car stopped in front of their hometown. The two got out of the car. As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Gu Lan said again: "Hubby, come with me back to Hangzhou, okay?"
Liu Hao turned around and looked at his wife, and after a long time he said: "Then tell your parents, and then we can leave."
"Husband, thank you."
"no need thank me?"
"Thank you for supporting my work."
Liu Hao packed up his things, got in the car, and called his father to tell him that something suddenly happened at Gu Lan's company and he needed to go back to deal with it. Liu's father asked them to go by themselves, and they would take a ride back later.
Two cars, one worth millions and the other hundreds of thousands, just like this, one behind the other, drove out of the village and headed into the distance.
Liu Hao's cell phone kept ringing along the way, with many messages and missed calls. Liu Hao did not rush to reply, but drove with peace of mind.
Not long after, the phone rang again. It was Lin Feng. Liu Hao thought about it and picked it up.
Lin Feng asked him if he was safe. Liu Hao smiled and replied that he was fine and was now driving back to Hangzhou. Lin Feng heard that he was fine and hung up the phone.
As soon as the car entered the city, Liu Hao received a call from his wife.
"Husband, I will go directly to the company for a meeting and won't accompany you. It may be very late at night. When you have time, go pick up our daughter. I'm afraid she will miss you."
After hanging up the phone, the two cars separated at a fork in the road and drove in different directions.
Liu Hao drove directly home, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, called his mother-in-law, and went downstairs to pick up his daughter.
As soon as Gu Lan arrived at the company, she found that the atmosphere today was very solemn. Everyone was cautious, as if they were afraid of bumping into the leader. As soon as he entered the office, he was notified to go to the conference room for a meeting. So, Gu Lan did not delay and went to the meeting.
Went to the conference room on the 13th floor.
The conference room was already filled with smoke, especially the ashtray in front of Zhang Deyong was full of cigarette butts. Gu Lan couldn't help but wave her hands to dispel the choking smell.
Wang Dong looked at Gu Lan jokingly and said in a strange tone: "Director Gu, such a big thing happened in the company, but you still have the heart to take a vacation. Did you take your beautiful husband to visit the mountains and rivers?"
Gu Lan found an empty seat and sat down, and glanced at Wang Dong sideways: "Are you in charge of when I take my vacation? Besides, don't we have you in the company? Is there anything that you, Manager Wang, can't solve?"
"
"You..." Wang Dong was choked by Gu Lan and was speechless.
"Okay, okay, Director Jiang is here. You two should say a few words. Everyone is here. Let's talk about what to do about this matter. Or should you, Director Jiang, say a few words first?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Zhang Deyong quickly interrupted their fight.
Jiang Rong looked at everyone and said: "Anything involving the media is not a trivial matter. If we don't quickly divert the public's attention and let this matter ferment, the situation will be even more disastrous. So how to eliminate the impact of this matter, I think
Want to hear everyone’s opinions?”
Zhang Rui spoke frankly and said: "Let me tell you, the forced demolition incident had nothing to do with our company. We only went to the scene to assist, but now the real estate company and the demolition office have chosen to remain silent, and all the blame is focused on our company. I think we should come forward."
To clarify, one should not choose silence."
Wang Dong said: "If we choose to clarify, the developer will definitely abandon us and give Zhang Ji another hooligan charge. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out in ten years."
…
Zhang Deyong frowned. Zhang Ji was his son. He looked at Gu Lan and said in a low voice: "What do you think, Director Gu?"
Gu Lan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "To untie the bell, the one who tied it must be found. We should find the reporter and ask her to withdraw her remarks. If she is allowed to speak again, explain to the public that she and Zhang Ji know each other and are friends.
If there is a misunderstanding between the residents, then this matter will be simple. The teasing has become a joke between friends, and with the letter of understanding from the family members of the residents, I think we can work together..."
Before he finished speaking, there was already a round of applause.
For a long time, Director Jiang looked at Gu Lan with admiration, then looked at everyone, and said: "Everyone said very well. In this way, we will coordinate the work of the residents and try our best to let the real estate developers and the demolition office do it." This reporter
As for the work, Mr. Zhang, you will be responsible for it personally, and we will all obey your command."
Zhang Deyong looked around and said: "Who in the company can be friends with this reporter?"
Everyone was silent, Gu Lan's heart moved, but she still lowered her head and said nothing.
She was sure that the person who led the female reporter away that night was her husband, but at this time, she was afraid that once Zhang Deyong knew that it was her husband who put his son in jail, there would inevitably be complications. Whatever she fears the most, something will always come out, and she only hears one voice
said.
"I looked carefully at the back in the photo. It looks a bit like Director Gu's husband." Wang Dong began to make wild guesses, biting randomly, and pointed the finger directly at Gu Lan.
Everyone immediately looked at Gu Lan. Gu Lan felt very stressed. Looking at everyone's questioning eyes, Gu Lan bowed her back for the first time and said, "Really? Why don't I look like that?"
Wang Dong said: "Is it because you don't dare to admit that your husband cheated?"
Gu Lan blurted out: "You just cheated!"
Director Jiang looked at the embarrassed Gu Lan and said, "If you have nothing else to do, just go and do your work. Gu Lan, come to my office."
When Gu Lan followed Jiang Rong into the chairman's office, Jiang Rong sat at the tea table, ordered boiling water, looked up at Gu Lan and asked:
"Lan Lan, how is your relationship as a couple lately?"
"Aunt Jiang...it's okay, okay."
"Lan Lan, why haven't you told the truth to Aunt Jiang?"
"Aunt Jiang, it's not that I didn't say it, there is something wrong, but I have already explained it. I don't know if he still has doubts or has any knots in his mind, but he didn't say it."
"I saw his back in the jade market, and it's very similar to the one in the news, so don't mind what Wang Dong said."
"Aunt Jiang, I suspected it was him, but he refused to admit it. He sent his parents back to the village that day, and I called him that night. He said he was in the village, and the village is dozens of miles away from the county seat."
Jiang Rong thought for a long time and said: "Maybe it's really not him."
Gu Lan said hesitantly: "Then...when Mr. Zhang asks, what should I say?"
"He is the one who has done his own evil. Oh, by the way, Lan Lan, you should stay less involved in his affairs."
Gu Lan felt bitter in her heart and thought secretly: "Aunt Jiang, if I had known that you could help me, why would I have been stuck in this mess!"
My heart is turbulent, but I can't express it.
As soon as Gu Lan returned to the office, she received a call from Zhang Deyong, asking her to attend a dinner party that evening and important leaders would come over. Gu Lan was upset, but she agreed. Then she dialed her husband's phone number.
"Hey, hubby, the company is hosting a banquet for an important leader tonight. Mr. Zhang asked me to attend, and I can't refuse, so I have to go home late."
"I know, you said it before."
"That means the meeting is probably going to be very late."
