Paper rose

Chapter 18: Everyone who should come is on the way (1)
Later, Kang Jian recalled this day carefully, and this eyelid twitch was really not idealistic.

Today is an eventful day.

The weather was fine, it was raining in several areas around Binjiang, the sun in the sky was bright, but not hot, and when it shone on Kang Jian's sleepless handsome face, his face looked slightly pale.

The urban area was silent, like a dead city after the plague.Often at this time, the old city where the majority of low-income families live is already full of noise.At this moment, people were all concentrated in the Municipal People's Square, and the place was filled with darkness, which was not a big place in the first place.In the middle of the arena, several old trees that had stood for hundreds of years were lying on the ground. An elderly man hugged the tree. There were a few streaks of blood on his forehead, and his body was already stiff.

This happened in the early hours of the morning. In order to speed up the demolition of the old city renovation and let the winning bidder enter the site earlier, the demolition office quietly knocked down several century-old trees while the others were still asleep.The owner of these trees once wrote a long letter to the city leaders, imploring them to keep these trees. He even knelt down in front of the city hall.The letter passed to Kang Jian. Kang Jian had dealt with the matter of the old city wall in the province, so he didn't take it too seriously.There was a loud noise when the tree was pushed down. The old man sat up suddenly from the bed, rushed out the door, hugged the tree, fell down, suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage, and died before the doctor arrived.

All the leaders at home in the city came, and the armed police prevented the people from making trouble and protected the leaders.

The TV station's interview car was parked on one side, and several cameras were pointed at it.

Cong Zhongshan made a speech to appease the people, saying that the transformation of the old city was of great significance. As a result, before he finished speaking, the people below started booing and shouting for him to go down.

Kang Jian was pushed to the forefront.

"Kang Shizhu, what do you think of this matter?" A reporter from the municipal TV station asked.

Kang Jian didn't look at her, but fixed his eyes on the dark crowd in front of him. "My heart is in a mess. This is the worst day I have experienced since I came to Binjiang Project. I just want to say that I will take full responsibility."

"Why are you responsible, and all of it?"

"I am specifically in charge of urban construction. Regarding the renovation plan, I only consider that it will bring great changes to the city appearance and bring benefits to the Binjiang economy, and ignore the feelings of the old city residents for every plant and tree in the old city. They grow up here. Growing up, going to school, getting married, having a child, getting old, every day is a warm memory, people have feelings, I was too negligent.”

In the dark crowd, several old men whose faces were covered with tears and snot were crying out loud at Kang Jian's words.

Kang Jian walked to the old tree, squatted down, and stroked the old man's skinny hand, "Dear folks in Binjiang, please believe that I will give you a responsible explanation. Now, let the old man be with this tree, Rest in peace!" The voice was not loud, but it spread far.

The scene starts to loosen.If you bring up a lot of reasons, maybe the people will not be convinced of you.But Kang Jian moved people with emotion like this, they held back the soaring resentment and gave up confrontation.A huge tide that almost overturned the sky silently turned into a stream.

At the beginning of human beings, nature is good.Watching the crowd slowly disperse, such a sentence popped out of Kang Jian's mind.

"Kang Zhu, a real man!" Cong Zhongshan came over, instead of patting Kang Jian's shoulder as usual, he shook hands with him.The grip is strong and lasts a long time.

Back at the city hall, Cong Zhongshan immediately held a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

Finally, it is decided that the demolition will continue and the compensation for demolition will be increased.For special events, special people, special treatment, expand the relationship network of the demolition households, and if they cannot do the work of the demolition households, they will attack from their relatives who work in the government, layer upon layer, and peel off cocoons.For the big tree incident, the director of the demolition office gave a warning, and the other staff deducted two months' wages.

The meeting lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. When Kang Jian returned to the office and took out his mobile phone from the drawer, Yi Tongtong sent a text message, "I've arrived, where are you?"

Kang Jian lit a cigarette, "It's simple, give me your car keys."

"Kang Zhu, you don't have much to eat for lunch, and there are too many things to do today, let me drive you off!"

"No." Kang Jian took a few puffs of cigarette.He is a man who makes a plan and executes it.

The car left the city government compound, and the urban area has returned to its former bustle.The street was a bit congested, Kang Jian took a shortcut, and then bypassed a large construction site.The car jumped all the way like a disco, and came out of an alley, which was the European-style leisurely and elegant street where Huaxing Hotel was located.

In the lobby of Huaxing Hotel, people came and went.Some people who participated in the environmental protection meeting came to report in advance. Thinking of visiting the surrounding cities, there were more people registering in front of the main station than usual.

Kang Jian got on the elevator expressionlessly and went straight to the top floor.

One of the luxury of Huaxing Hotel: From the sixteenth floor up, each floor has an elegantly decorated coffee shop.

The room on the top floor is only open to a few people designated by Huaxing, and only one person at a time, Huaxing doesn't care who that person wants to take.

How should I put it, sometimes, talking about things requires an independent space; sometimes, getting along with friends of the opposite sex requires an emotional place.If you just open a room like that, two people facing a big bed, it would be too naked.

What a great coffee shop, the music is soft, the light is warm, and the coffee is fragrant. When two people sit facing each other, they can smile at each other and talk in whispers.

"Good afternoon!" The service staff smiled politely at Kang Jian, opened the door of the coffee shop, and then closed it again.

The waiters here are all carefully selected by Huaxing. Except for doing things within the scope of their duties, they never pay attention to who the guests are.

Yi Tongtong was sitting at the table, holding a coffee cup in both hands, looking straight at the door.

A girl's guitar playing and singing is floating in the room, her voice is light and melancholy, but her words are not clear.

"Kang Jian." Yi Tongtong smiled softly.Kang Jian looked at her, and somehow remembered the two dimples on Bai Yan's face.

"I'm delayed by something." Kang Jian sat down opposite her, and took the coffee she handed over.

It's her favorite cappuccino, which is a bit sweet and greasy. In fact, he likes to drink blue mountain with its own personality.

"I saw you on TV, Jian, you really have a talent for leadership, and you can surpass thousands of troops with just a few words." Yi Tongtong held his hand admiringly.

He withdrew without a trace.

The smile immediately faded from Yi Tongtong's face.

The two drank coffee in silence for a while, and the music changed to a male singer singing hoarsely, which sounded very sad.

"Tongtong, I have something..."

"If it's something I don't like to hear, then don't say it." Yi Tongtong said abruptly, Mingyan's expression dimmed.

Kang Jian raised his eyebrows, and seriously took out two bunches of keys from the bag he brought, "Tongtong, this is the apartment you went to see last time, I've got someone to decorate it, you just need to bring Just order some clothes and go in to live. This is a bunch of car keys, your favorite red sports car, which is now in the parking lot downstairs of the apartment. The apartment is far from the school, and with a car, it will be convenient for you to commute to work."

"Is this a gift for me?" Yi Tongtong didn't jump up excitedly, his face was as pale as snow, and when he asked, his volume was uncontrollably sharp.

"Tongtong, there is very little I can do for you. Take care of yourself." Kang Jian spoke slowly, lest she couldn't hear clearly.

"Kang Jian, what exactly do you mean?" Yi Tongtong's voice and body trembled at the same time, "I didn't ask you anything, I know you are a celebrity in Binjiang, and you will run for mayor of urban construction soon, now is a critical period, I won't make trouble for you. We're just ordinary friends, can't we just meet each other?"

"In the future, we will not meet again. Not only am I going to run for mayor of Chengjian, I am a married man now, which is different from before."

Yi Tongtong stared wide-eyed, took a breath, "You... fell in love with her?"

"No." Kang Jian flatly denied it.

"You said that she was the daughter of your father's deceased. Your father liked her very much. You didn't want to disappoint your father, so you married him. This is a marriage without feelings. You compromised because you didn't believe in marriage. She is no different from a piece of furniture or a pot of flowers..." Yi Tongtong burst into tears.

That's why she persuaded herself to let go and watch him marry another woman, as long as his heart is on her.

That's why she called him brazenly, telling him to leave that woman behind and run over to accompany her.

That's why she can laugh and sneer in front of that woman.

Marriage is just a piece of paper, a catwalk, she doesn't care.

She was almost certain that Kang Jian couldn't bear that woman for long, and sooner or later Mrs. Kang's position would fall to her.

Why?Why did Kang Jian say such things now?
Kang Jian raised his head in shock, "This is my family business and has nothing to do with you."

"Why doesn't it matter? I've been waiting for you..." Yi Tongtong didn't want to hide anymore, covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Then we won't be able to meet each other. You and I both know that true friendship cannot exist between a man and a woman. I'm too busy to be with you like before. In the future, take care of yourself. Binjiang is too small, With your talent, you should go to a bigger city to develop."

"You want to drive me away?" Yi Tongtong suddenly stood up straight with the strength he didn't know, with the cold wind blowing, "You want to take root in Binjiang, okay, I will accompany you. I will find someone who is a hundred times stronger than you Man, give birth to him, and we will live in love. Then, I will watch you soar, and watch you and that woman be glued to each other."

She could tell that Kang Jian was more heartless and sincere this time than last time, even if she jumped off the top floor in front of him, he wouldn't even blink.

She knew this man well, even at the beginning, when the two of them didn't see each other for a day, the way he looked at her was shallow.

She thought he was introverted, but he was reserved, but he was not, but he was cold and mean-spirited.

Tears and tenderness are no longer weapons, what else can she use to keep his heart?
Where is his heart?
How much influence does that stupid woman have over him?Yeah?
Yi Tongtong raised his hand to wipe away his tears, a trace of disproportionate hatred appeared on his beautiful face.

"There's no need to waste your energy with me."

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Yi Tongtong smiled coldly, picked up the key on the table, and weighed it in her palm, "Thank you!"

Why not?

Noble, not pretending to be seen by men like Kang Jian.If you can't get love, then seek material comfort.A smart woman knows how to treat herself well.

"Finish the coffee, let's leave." Yi Tongtong picked up the cup, clinked glasses with him, looked around, feeling sad in his heart, "If you can't be Kang Zhu's friend, you won't have the chance to drink such fragrant coffee again Yes. It’s all good here. Standing by the window, you can overlook the Yangtze River and the whole city at your feet. Boss Hua is a friend. Maybe he will open this coffee shop for me, but where is the person who will drink coffee with me? "

Kang Jian was silent, otherwise what else could he say.

After finishing the coffee, Yi Tongtong went down first as before, and Kang Jian left after a quarter of an hour.With so many guests in the restaurant, no one would associate him with her.

Kang Jian sat in the chair in a daze, and took out another cigarette.My heart was chaotic and flustered, so I took a few puffs of cigarettes to calm my mind down.

After about a quarter of an hour, the waiter waiting outside opened the hall door.

Kang Jian took a deep breath and looked at his phone. There was no call, so he guessed there was nothing wrong in the office.It was almost dinner time, he couldn't help but want to call Bai Yan and tell her that he was going back to have dinner.

The mobile phone signal in the elevator is not very good, so I didn't get through after calling several times.

He frowned, got out of the elevator, picked up his phone, and was about to press the redial button when he raised his head casually, and the blood in his body suddenly dropped to freezing point.

In the hall less than ten meters away from him, Bai Yan appeared from nowhere and looked at Yi Tongtong with a smile.Boss Hua next to her frowned and chopped off her feet.Standing here, he could see the oily shine on Boss Hua's forehead.

That's not oil, it's sweat!
Kang Jian's legs went limp at that moment.

For the ten meters, Kang Jian somehow dragged his unconscious legs and walked over.His face was calm, and the sweat on his back had soaked his shirt.

The temperature in Huaxing Hotel remains at [-] degrees all year round, as comfortable as early spring.

"Kang Zhu!" Among the registered participants, someone recognized Kang Jian and ran over to shake hands.

"Hello!" Kang Jian smiled mechanically, unable to distract himself, "I have something to do first, we'll talk about it later."

The man opened his mouth and nodded with a dry smile, "See you later!"

"Leader!" Bai Yan looked this way, without showing a pair of cute dimples to him.

Kang Jianxin fell straight to the bottom of the valley, which was still a valley of ice, so cold to the bone.She found out?He was going to lose her?

Hua Xing scratched his head anxiously, wanting to say something to Kang Jian, but he couldn't speak ventriloquism.

Yi Tongtong treated it indifferently.Now, she doesn't need to care about Kang Jian's situation, but she won't deliberately provoke him either.

If Kang Jian is forced too hard, there will really be no miracle between them.How ridiculous, at this moment, she still has extravagant expectations for him.

Kang Jian's heart was pounding, he didn't know how Bai Yan appeared here, how much did she discover?But these answers are not important now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, be calm, calm, minimize the maximum, and eliminate trivial matters.Never repeat the scene in the provincial capital.

No wonder the ancestors said: If you want others to not know, unless you do nothing yourself.There is no impenetrable wall in the world, fortunately this is the last time he and Yi Tongtong meet.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he hurriedly typed the draft.

"Bai Yan, I'll explain to you later. Tong Tong, you go first." After all, it was the leader, who quickly calmed down, lowered his voice, and tightly clamped Bai Yan's arm.

Yi Tongtong looked at him.

"You..." Bai Yan's eyes kept rolling, looking at Yi Tongtong for a while, and Kang Jian for a while.

(Why is this scene so bloody?

Leader Kang: Comrade Tongtong, you withdraw first, and I will cover you.

Yi Tongtong: No, Comrade Kang Jian, I cannot leave you alone.We are comrades-in-arms in the trenches, we must live together, and we must die together.

Leader Kang: Comrade Tong Tong, keep the green hills here, don’t be afraid of running out of firewood, endure for a while, and then the sea will be wide enough for fishes to leap and the sky for birds to fly high.Listen to me, there is nothing wrong.

Yi Tongtong's eyes turned red, and he nodded with sobs: Comrade Kang Jian, you have to take care of me.

Leader Kang tragically watched her leave.

Leader Kang, leader Kang, why are you so vulgar? )
Six pairs of eyes looked at her in unison, and Kang Jian's breathing almost stopped.

"You... know each other too?" Bai Yan swallowed, and finally finished a sentence.

"Huh?" Kang Jian, Yi Tongtong, and Hua Xing all stared wider at the same time.

What is the situation?Kang Jian looked at Yi Tongtong, and Yi Tongtong also wondered, this woman has amnesia?
"Leader, Teacher Yi is a colleague of Liu Jing's husband. We had dinner together once. How did you meet Teacher Yi?"

"I..." Kang Jian's brain stopped, he was tongue-tied, unable to make up an answer for a moment.

"I'll go first." Yi Tongtong now knew where he lost.Bai Yan was too scheming, she purposely didn't mention that she had visited her twice, so why didn't Kang Jian be happy in his heart when he gave Kang Jian the steps?He was light and delicate, and he didn't need to make any moves to kick her out of the game. They were still a good couple.If she jumped out to make trouble, Kang Jian's face would be dull, and he would definitely feel disgusted towards her. Bai Yan could gain the upper hand by pretending to be pitiful.

This woman is a master.

Yi Tongtong doesn't want to fight, and doesn't want to see other people's husband and wife show their affection. His heart is broken, so quickly find a place to heal his wounds!

"Don't go, since we met, let's have a meal together. This is Boss Hua's territory, let Boss Hua be the host, okay?" Bai Yan looked at Huaxing with a smile.

With Huaxing on the side, it's like riding a roller coaster, the heart goes up and down for a while. "I can't ask for it, I can't even invite you!" He looked at Kang Jian secretly, and hastily clarified with body language: Leader, I really didn't do this, it was purely coincidental, purely coincidental.

He was patrolling the hall, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Kang strolling here, looking inside curiously, just in time for him to see, he dared not pretend not to see, and went out to say hello.

She asked if it was convenient to go in and visit the bottom?
