C78 I donst know how to thank you (1/2)
The Secretary Ma looked at me with admiration and said to Song Mingzheng: ”Jiang Feng is currently the youngest middle-aged official of the newspaper. He has just been promoted to Deputy Director Department of Public Information recently, and is in charge of the work …”
”Good, good. This kind of young man has ability and a future. He's worth cultivating and worth reusing …” Song Mingzheng continued to hold my hand tightly: ”Reporter Jiang … No, Director Jiang, I don't even know how to thank you … ”
Looking at Secretary Ma's appreciative expression and Song Mingzheng's grateful smiling face, I used the same way that heroes do in movies and television to modestly say, ”No need to thank me, I should do this!”
Actually, in my heart, I did not care about the Secretary Ma's appreciation or Song Mingzheng's gratitude. What I did, was only the instinctive conscience of one person.
At the same time, since I had saved Ni Ni, my heart seemed to have a faint sense of comfort and explanation to Liu Yue.
This large river holds Liu Yue and Ni Ni, mother and daughter, and also holds my heart.
Although Song Mingzheng is extremely grateful to me for saving Ni Ni, I feel that it is still unknown whether Song Mingzheng and I can become true friends or not.
If Song Mingzheng knew about my relationship with Liu Yue, would he still be so sincere and enthusiastic with me?
I know that Song Mingzheng is still in love with Liu Yue, and right now, he only knows that the relationship between Liu Yue and I is between a superior and a subordinate. He doesn't know the true situation between Liu Yue and I.
Also, the Secretary Ma values me greatly, if he knows that I slept with his woman, he would probably explode. Isn't this a blatant challenge to his prestige, authority, and manly dignity? Although he definitely knew that Mei Ling and the other high officials did not know each other's living conditions clearly, the reason why Secretary Ma turned a blind eye on him was because Mei Ling could bring benefits and benefits to him. As for me, I am his subordinate, which he obviously cannot accept.
These were the rules for making friends and doing things between men.
In the Secretary Ma's Office, after Song Mingzheng had repeatedly expressed his gratitude and praise, and after he and Song Mingzheng had chatted about other things for a long time, Song Mingzheng took his leave.
I'll send Song Mingzheng downstairs.
After exiting the Secretary Ma's Office, Liu Fei secretly gave me a thumbs up: ”Director Jiang, good job, you saved Director Song's daughter, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Liu Fei must have thought that this was another rare opportunity for him to get to know and be acquainted with the high officials.
I smiled but said nothing.
When I heard it, my heartbeat quickened. Liu Yue is going back to the sea to see Ni Ni!
I felt a ripple in my heart. In this past year, it was probably only Corydalis who went to Xiejing to look for Liu Yue. Liu Yue did not return to the river.
I shook hands with Song Mingzheng in a daze before returning to the office uneasily.
If Liu Yue really comes back, should I go and see her? Would she come to see me? After all, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and we haven't seen each other since that sad winter night a year ago …
Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was being a little unreasonable. Why should Liu Yue come and see me, and why should I go and see her?
In the next week, I will be betrothed to Qing Er. Since it's already like this, I shouldn't have any other thoughts.
Just then, Chen Jing walked in dejectedly and sent me a script.
I took the manuscript and read it carefully. Chen Jing stood silently by my side and waited. I indicated that she should sit down.
When I finished reading the script, signed it, and handed it to her, she didn't leave. She looked at me and said, ”That girlfriend of yours is her? This Qing Er is your girlfriend? ”
I looked at Chen Jing calmly and nodded. ”Yes!”
”Hmph …” I'm really stupid, I should have been able to tell one year ago, I should have already been able to tell from her gaze and attitude towards you when you were hospitalized one year ago, ”Chen Jing sneered,” I'm really stupid, I just felt that something was amiss. I didn't expect her to be my sworn enemy … I went to see you and even used some Old Third as a cover, stepping on two boats, I'm not a proper woman … ”
”Chen Jing, don't speak nonsense,” I said in an unhappy tone. ”What do you know?
”I won't listen, I won't listen!” Chen Jing clenched his teeth, and growled: ”I'm talking about her, but you can't take it anymore. You're scolding me for speaking nonsense, and you're scolding me for spouting nonsense.
With that, Chen Jing turned and left without listening to my explanation.
