40 years of officialdom cheats: landing

Chapter 37 Affair (3)

Life is emotionless and unmoved by emotion.Although the influence of Duan Chun's incident has been completely eliminated with the passage of time, for Li Qiu, there is still a kind of pain in his heart that cannot be wiped away.In the previous confrontation with the Disciplinary Committee, I was like a qigong master, always defusing the enemy's offensive invisible. This time, I lost a general.In the officialdom, just like on the chessboard, throw away the car to protect the handsome when necessary, and it is impossible to win without a price.When he thought this way, he felt a little comforted.

The deputy general manager is by name, and Li Qiu has nothing to do every day except eating, meeting with a few friends, and sleeping with a woman in his arms. Some are not used to it.Liu Guangcai also saw that Li Qiu was unhappy, so he said to him: "Brother, do you want to go abroad to see your sister-in-law and children? Now that you have retired, you can get a visa to the United States."

Li Qiu took a delegation to the United States once in his position as deputy secretary, and it was a business inspection.That time when I saw my long-lost wife Luo Xiaoying, she was even more haggard than before. Li Qiu said: "If you are not happy in the United States, go back to the mainland." Luo Xiaoying shook her head coldly.Li Qiu said again: "Then I will come here after I retire. After all, we are husband and wife, and we cannot be separated like this forever." Luo Xiaoying was noncommittal. She and Li Qiu have long been like strangers, and the relationship between husband and wife has existed in name only.Seeing that they had a deep grievance, the two children consoled them a bit, and the family finally broke up.

Now Liu Guangcai suggested that he go to the United States to reunite with his family. Li Qiu's heart moved. He also had this idea long ago. This time, he intends to apply for the company's deputy general manager to work in Liu Guangcai's company in the United States in this capacity. At that time, he can handle it smoothly. Green card and go to the United States to settle down.Nowadays, many officials in the society send their wives and children abroad, and they are alone in the mainland, fleeing whenever there is a turmoil, and they are vividly called "naked officials".Although now that I have completely retired, the risk of accidents has been greatly reduced, but it cannot be said that there is no risk at all.The current officialdom is an extremely huge network. Gao Tianyu, Yang Tao and others on his line are still in their seats, and they have their own network. Each network is connected with thousands of lines and thousands of lines. When someone has an accident on which line, other people will be involved. "Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud". There are many such examples. Wang Youjie, the former deputy director of the Henan Provincial People's Congress, is a typical example.Now going to the United States to reunite with my family and settle down there is my ideal destination, even if something happens, the Commission for Discipline Inspection cannot chase after me and go to the United States to find myself.

Thinking of this, Li Qiu said to Liu Guangcai: "I don't want to apply for a tourist visa. That visa is only for half a year at most. You can arrange for me to work in your company in the United States so that I can live with my family. If I miss everyone, I can also come back every year in the name of work to meet with everyone."

Liu Guangcai said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Li Qiu originally wanted to surprise Luo Xiaoying and the children, but he was worried that Luo Xiaoying would not know what to think, would she be surprised?Will she get back together with herself?Luo Xiaoying has not filed for divorce for so many years, is she waiting for her to retire and live there?But since she has been in the United States for so many years, she has never called herself. I know her situation through a pair of children. What is this woman thinking?Does she hate herself that much?If she is still so indifferent when I go this time, I might as well not go.

An old friend of Li Qiu's, Luo Zhe, had a very similar experience to his. Luo Zhe used to be a member of the Revolutionary Committee of Binjiang County. In that hot-headed era, he raped a teacher of a normal school and married her. They gave birth to a pair of children, but the relationship between husband and wife is very weak. After retirement, Luo Zhe lived with his son, and his wife and daughter. They have been separated for more than [-] years, longer than Li Qiu and Luo Xiaoying.But Luo Zhe and Li Qiu are different, they both live in Binjiang as husband and wife, and even see each other often, but they just don't say a word, don't eat in the same pot, let alone sleep in the same bed.When Li Qiu was the secretary of the county party committee, he worked as a husband and wife many times, but when the two met, they refused to accept each other, and the more they quarreled, the more awkward they became.At that time, the relationship between Luo Xiaoying and Li Qiu hadn't become tense, she asked Li Qiu strangely: "Luo Zhe and his wife are really weird, it's better to get a divorce than living an unhappy life like this, it's a relief for both parties." Li Qiu Said: "You don't understand them, these two people are very strong personalities, neither of them is willing to propose a divorce, sometimes they choose this way of life to deliberately hurt each other." Luo Xiaoying thinks that hurting each other like this is not a solution to the problem Method, as time passes will form a kind of morbid psychology.

Li Qiu didn't expect that his own experience was a copy of Luo Zhe's. Luo Xiaoying went to the United States to ignore her and refused to divorce. Is it because of the hatred in Ruyi's heart?After all, Li Qiu has been a great leader, he is not as stubborn as Luo Zhe, he thinks that a man should have a little capacity, he should not argue with a woman, there is no distinction between husband and wife, and sometimes he works when his daughter is at work. Called the American daughter's home, of course it was Luo Xiaoying who answered, Li Qiu said: "Xiaoying, are you still angry with me? Come back to me, I can't live without you." Luo Xiaoying hung up the phone silently It made Li Qiu very boring. Originally, Li Qiu thought that he had hurt Luo Xiaoying too much for so many years, and wanted to express his apology to her. After all, he is almost 60 years old, and he has been romantic. Now, at this time, the wife became more important in her mind, "young couples come to accompany each other when they are old", those women in the world are nothing more than seeking his money, and only the wife can depend on each other in their old age.It was based on this consideration that Li Qiu called Luo Xiaoying, but after a few times, Luo Xiaoying remained as cold as ice, which made Li Qiu no longer interested in calling her.

In this case, the children are the bridge between the two, Li Qiu knows Luo Xiaoying's situation from his children, and the children will also tell Luo Xiaoying about Li Qiu's situation.Li Qiu thought about it, and decided to tell his children what he thought, and hear what they thought.

After the son received his father's call, he said, "Dad, you can come here, but you also know my mother's temper. Last time, my sister and I pulled her over to meet you. She came back without eating or drinking for two or three days, saying that she was suffering from such a situation." You might as well be dead. It seems that it must be difficult for you to see her when you come here this time, and I will call you when my sister and I do her work."

Daughter Li Min was surprised when she received a call from her father. She said, "Dad, the financial crisis has caused the U.S. economy to decline, and the unemployment rate has increased sharply. My brother and I plan to return to China for development." Unhappy, "Thousands of good things are not as good as my father's good", thinking that I will let your children and grandchildren not work for a few lifetimes at the front of Times Square, and I will send you abroad with all my heart. The fact that there are greater opportunities for domestic development really pissed me off.However, Luo Xiaoying and his sons and daughters didn't know about his appearance in Times Square. He entrusted Liu Guangcai to buy it after the housing price plummeted in the financial crisis. It cost more than 3000 million yuan, and basically he had no property in China. This is His brilliance.Now he doesn't have any expenses. Liu Guangcai gives him 40 yuan a year for playing with women, which is more than enough. Besides, in the Xingyun Hotel, he doesn't need to pay for any woman he likes, and Liu Guangcai pays for it all.

"Is your mother okay?" Li Qiu would ask every time he called, and he had to act like a father in front of his daughter, even if it was a gesture.

Li Min said, "It's still the same."

Li Qiu was silent for more than ten seconds, thinking that his daughter was really serious, these words seemed like diplomatic words, what is the old way?It's not like she doesn't know that she's retired. What's her attitude?I have to say something to the children, especially the daughter, otherwise how can the daughter be the mother's close-fitting little padded jacket? Luo Xiaoying's thoughts will definitely be known to the daughter, so she said: "I am asking your Uncle Liu to help me apply for a visa to work in the United States. At that time, our family will be reunited in the United States, and we will never return to the mainland.”

Li Min panicked and said, "Father, are you serious? But we are not prepared at all."

Li Qiu said with some dissatisfaction: "What kind of mental preparation does this need? It seems that you don't welcome me?"

"No, Dad, my brother and I hope you can come, but Mom, I don't know how to say it?"

"For so many years, I have been lacking in your mother. It is because I am too busy with work. Now that I am retired, I can be with her every day. I believe she will accept me."

"That's not what it means. It's better to ask her for an opinion. Don't be too busy to make a decision. Let me talk to her first and then call you."

Li Qiu was a little angry, and now her daughter said this as if she was helping her to keep some secret. "I've already made up my mind. Do I have to ask for her opinion when I go to the United States? If she doesn't agree, I can't go there? Nonsense!"

There was a long pause on the other end of the phone, and when Li Qiu was about to hang up, his daughter's voice came again: "Father, forgive my brother and I for hiding some things from you, and tell your mother that she already has someone else in love!"

This time it was Li Qiu's turn to be surprised.His hand holding the microphone trembled, and his voice tremblingly asked: "I don't blame you, tell me the truth." Li Min narrated to Li Qiu the situation after Luo Xiaoying arrived in the United States. Unreasonable always locks herself in the house, but she doesn't want to go back to the mainland to live with Li Qiu again, and her daughter has to go to work and can't accompany her, Luo Xiaoying becomes more and more withdrawn, sometimes she doesn't say anything for a day or two In a word.Li Min was in a hurry, and discussed with his brother. The two agreed that the mother's problem was the language barrier and the inability to communicate with others. In order to make her mother happy, Li Min quit her house in Silicon Valley and moved to live in Chinatown. Stay away from being tired, as long as the mother is happy.After Luo Xiaoying lived in Chinatown, she found that it was no different from the mainland. She could eat dishes with the flavor of her hometown, and what made her even more delighted was that she could also hear plays from her hometown.The old man who sang opera was from Wenzhou, and he opened a teahouse in Chinatown. Every day, a group of old men and women came to the teahouse to drink tea and let the old man sing a verse.At first, Luo Xiaoying just listened to the old man sing. Later, during the Spring Festival of a year, several old theater fans put on a show one after another. The old man also asked Luo Xiaoying to perform one. Her singing skills amazed everyone, and everyone knew that she used to be a professional actress in a troupe.A good actor must have a good audience. After Luo Xiaoying revealed her identity, she immediately became a star in the neighborhood. Many people came to listen to her performances. Since Luo Xiaoying showed her skills that time, she has also ignited the passion for opera that has accumulated in her heart for many years. , I feel uncomfortable if I don’t sing a few paragraphs every day.Gradually, a grass-roots team headed by Luo Xiaoying formed in the teahouse. A group of opera enthusiasts entertained themselves. Luo Xiaoying also regained her confidence in life, and her children were also happy for her change.Unexpectedly, things changed dramatically. The wife of the old man who opened the teahouse passed away last year. The old man began to pursue Luo Xiaoying, and Luo Xiaoying also had a good impression of the old man, and he rejuvenated in the old man.The daughter is well aware of the changes in her mother. She knows that her mother and father are suffering together. Now that she has just rekindled hope for a new life, her father is coming to destroy everything again.But this matter has to be resolved. When she answered the phone, Luo Xiaoying overheard her hesitations. Luo Xiaoying knew that it was Li Qiu who called, and also heard from her daughter that Li Qiu was coming to the United States. She asked her daughter to tell Li Qiu the truth. To stop his idea of ​​coming to the United States, as for the marriage between the two, it is not just a piece of paper, just sign an agreement and go through the formalities.

Li Qiu knew that he had hurt Luo Xiaoying too much, and she might not be able to forgive him in this life.Originally, he wanted to seek Luo Xiaoying's forgiveness from the United States, but it seems that there is no need for this. "Understood, I won't go to the United States anymore, wish her happiness for me, the procedure can be done at any time." Li Qiu hangs up the phone in a low mood, looking out of the window in a daze, Luo Xiaoying has regarded herself as a passerby for so many years, she is so early today In his own expectation, what made him angry was that his sons and daughters were all on her side to hide this matter together. If he hadn't moved to go to the United States, he didn't know how long they would have kept it a secret. "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let her go", Li Qiu thought to himself that even if he is rich, he might not find a young and beautiful woman. In my 80s, I married a 28-year-old little wife. I also want to find one for you, Luo Xiaoying.

Li Qiu called Liu Guangcai to say that he would not go to the United States, and Liu Guangcai asked without knowing it, "Brother, why did you change your mind?"

"I won't go. I've been thinking about it for the past two days. It's better not to go there. I don't know the place over there, and I'm free here without me. A few years ago, old secretary Zhu went abroad. He thought he would settle abroad. It was very beautiful, but later died in a foreign country early, and it was very troublesome to bring the ashes back; there are also some friends who went abroad to develop, but who knew that not only would they not be able to integrate into the local mainstream society after going there, the opportunities would not be good, but they were already shameless Going back to my hometown again, I can only bear the bullet and endure it." Of course, Li Qiu couldn't say it was because of his wife, so he had to find an excuse, but fortunately, this kind of situation is very common, even if he didn't mention it, Liu Guangcai knew it.

"Actually, I don't want you to leave either. You have been in Binjiang for decades, and you have many acquaintances and friends. Who would dare not give you face. As long as you are here, my business affairs will be much easier to handle. If you don't leave, we brothers can do it every day." Let's drink together." Seeing that Li Qiu did not leave, Liu Guangcai was very happy.

"I heard that Yang Nan wants to go abroad, you can handle her." Li Qiu knew that Yang Nan had been in a bad mood since Duan Chun's death, which was also a dangerous signal. , let her be fulfilled, besides, the large sum of money Duan Chun left for her cannot be laundered unless it goes out, and when she goes abroad, she can justifiably send money every now and then whether she is marrying a rich old man or doing business Give it to your children, so that it will not arouse suspicion.

Liu Guangcai said: "Brother, I also have the same intention. After all, Director Duan has been kind to me, so I will deal with it right away."

There is a very strange phenomenon in the officialdom. As long as a corrupt official commits suicide after the incident, as long as he does not bite out his "upper line", those "upper lines" in power will naturally be grateful to Dade and will definitely "take care" of his family.Duan Chun is also like this. Not long after his death, Yang Tao transferred his son from the township to the county party committee office as the deputy director of the confidential office. The promotion here is much faster than other units, because the leaders are always the most familiar with the people around them, so they also like to use the people around them.
