Chapter 147
,
Waking up from her deep sleep, Zhou Xiaorong squinted her eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window, feeling dizzy. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, jumped out of the bed, ran over barefoot to open the curtains, and the dawn was just beginning to appear outside. An old man was practicing Tai Chi beside the lawn downstairs of the hotel, and a couple hurried out with their children.
She quickly returned to the bed and looked at her phone. She had turned off at some point. She patiently pressed the switch with her trembling fingers. After the phone was turned on, dozens of missed SMS notifications immediately popped up, and then looked at the date:
No. 19!
Today is the second morning of Fang Sheng’s wedding!
No, something must have happened! She stood beside the bed, depressed and angry and wanted to go crazy.
The missed phone calls were all from Oriental Jincheng Hotel. The time was from yesterday evening to night, which means that I had been sleeping during this period and my phone was also turned off.
Zhou Xiaorong has the habit of taking a lunch break and slept normally for about 40 minutes at noon, but on the one hand, she set an alarm clock at 2:30, and on the other hand, she has always had a very shallow sleep, and it is impossible for her to go to bed from yesterday's afternoon to this morning.
Turn on the alarm clock settings, and the alarm clock reminders at several points were turned off. This is impossible. She was afraid of making mistakes before lunch break yesterday, so she looked at the settings repeatedly and turned the ringtone to the maximum. This was a deep impression on her.
The phone was touched! This is the only explanation.
Ah, my box!
Zhou Xiaorong remembered the suitcase hidden in the closet, and her heart sank, and she burst into cold sweat. She almost rushed over and opened the door of the suitcase. The suitcase was still there!
She lifted the box with both hands, but she knew that the box was light and she staggered back two steps with too much force and almost fell down. She opened the box with a desperate mood, and it was empty inside!
At this point, she finally confirmed: someone sneaked into the room yesterday, changed the alarm clock settings, turned off the phone, and carefully prepared her, and took away the things she had originally planned to ship to the hotel in the afternoon!
It is impossible to call the police. This trip was not kind enough. If the police asked what was in the box and where it was used, it would be difficult to answer.
How did things happen?
Zhou Xiaorong returned to the bed dejectedly, covered her head and tried hard to recall her experience yesterday:
I didn’t have breakfast in the morning, I only drank a glass of milk and half a banana. In the morning, I went to the supermarket to buy a few items, and then turned to the Oriental Jincheng Hotel to check out the site, and almost met Fang Sheng. At noon... I returned to the hotel, and I had no appetite at all, but when I thought of the thrilling scene at night, I might not have time or the mood to have dinner, so I called room service and ordered a package.
Yes, the problem lies in the package!
I remember that the waiter who delivered the package dressed up a bit strange, with a low brim pressed down, wearing brown glasses, and a small beard. At that time, she had a thought flashed through: Will the waiter allow the beard to wear tinted glasses? But without thinking too much, he opened the lunch box and ate some casually, and then felt tired, so he went to bed to rest...
Someone drugged the set meal and let himself sleep in a mess for more than ten hours!
Needless to say, it must have been Zhao Yaoyao's instructions. But based on Zhou Xiaorong's understanding of her, Zhao Yaoyao is not like a girl with such deep scheming and such desperate means.
Is it Fang Sheng? It's unlikely. He made a tentative call three days before the wedding. He obviously guessed it was her, but refused to answer the answer. Later, he simply put it on the blacklist and could not get through again. Since he didn't know what she was going to come, with Fang Sheng's personality, he would not take action first.
Sitting on the bed and thinking about it, my mind was in a mess. No matter who was doing it, Fang Sheng held the wedding successfully and smoothly. Zhao Yaoyao put on his wedding dress as he wished and became the most beautiful girl last night.
But, I won’t give up! Zhou Xiaorong thought to himself.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Yu was walking in the garden after breakfast. Yu Yuqin appeared at the right time and angrily told him about the cowardly affair he suffered last night's wedding banquet. He scolded the Bai family for being shameless and unblocked, and accused Fang Sheng of not worthy of Zhao Yaoyao's like.
Mr. Yu didn't even listen and walked slowly along the stone path of the small stone paved, slicing two walnuts in his hand. Yu Yuqin knew his father's temper, so he didn't say more and followed silently.
After walking for half an hour, the guard ran over and whispered to remind him. Mr. Yu returned to the flower hall, wiped his face with a hot towel, sipped the tea, sat on the Grand Master's chair and closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said:
"It's not the Bai family's fault. You have done it without consideration."
"Ah!" Yu Yuqin didn't expect that the old man who was strong and hated evil would actually accuse him of his own. He couldn't make a turn for the time being, and said, "It's obviously all Fang Sheng is wrong, we're already giving face..."
Mr. Yu sighed and said, "It's the mistake that you always think that the Yu family is very respectful, so when dealing with Fang Sheng, it was always arrogant, which made the Bai family take advantage of loopholes. Think about many things that have happened in the past two years, some are certainly because people are gone, some are... I calm down and think about it, are you too proud and always think that the king of heaven is not afraid, so that you offend people you shouldn't offend?"
Yu Yuqin lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Dad, you have never criticized me like this..."
"The times are different and the situation is also different. You cannot consider and make decisions with the previous concepts, as it will be devastating." Mr. Yu picked up the teacup and put it down, "Tea always needs to be cold. The wheel of history rolls forward. Metabolism is an objective law, so don't expect too much."
After hearing the Zen technique in the old man's words, Yu Yuqin was still dissatisfied and said:
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and our Yu family is not easy to bully!"
Mr. Yu knew his daughter's political literacy and background, so he didn't want to talk too much, so he frowned and waved his hand. Yu Yuqin then left the flower hall tactfully.
After a while, Yu Yunfu passed by the flower hall accompanied by the driver and secretary. Seeing the old man there, he came in alone to greet him.
"Yuqin just found me." Old Master Yu said slowly.
Yu Yunfu's eyes flashed: "I heard that it was not very pleasant last night."
Mr. Yu smiled and teased: "As the helm of the Propaganda Department and Yao Yao's father, I can't even understand the wedding situation last night. Do you still need to hear about it?"
Yu Yunfu was a little embarrassed in an instant, but then he regained his calmness and said, "The Bai family has a lot of ideas."
"You didn't hit the board on the Bai family, which shows that you were at least one level higher than Yuqin," Mr. Yu said with relief. "They are changing, and the Yu family can't fall behind."
"I see."
Yu Yunfu said concisely, look at the time, say hello and then leave in a hurry. Looking at his son's back, he was stunned in a trance that the years he had galloped through the officialdom, and he realized that time passed so fast, and decades were in the blink of an eye, which could be described as a flash of time.
Compared to his daughter, he is more willing to talk to his second son. It is not because Yu Yunfu is currently the highest-level child of the Yu family. He is in charge of the highest propaganda organization in his early fifties and is a member of the Politburo. More importantly, the father and son are in a slight manner when talking to each other, and there is no need to speak very straightforwardly like Yu Yuqin, that would be boring.
Yu Yunfu's flaw is that he has no son. When his wife got married, she was sick and in poor health. She couldn't live without medicine all year round, so she naturally couldn't get pregnant. During her work in Shuangjiang, she found a lover and gave birth to Zhao Yaoyao. After that, she continued to work hard, but she had a problem with a slippery fetus. Every time she got pregnant for a few months, she miscarried and became thinner and thinner. She didn't dare to try again after a few years. After being transferred to Kyoto, several brothers of the Yu family repeatedly hinted that he would find another way. Yu Yunfu was a dedicated person, not to mention that the Kyoto political circle was turbulent and complicated, so she had to be careful step by step to avoid being caught by her opponent, and her mind gradually became weak.
Currently, there are three new generations of the Yu family, namely Yu Tieya, the eldest son Yu Qiudi, the daughter Yu Tiemei, and the third son Yu Daoming's son Yu Zhenghua.
Mr. Yu was actually not very satisfied with the three of them. Yu Tieya and Yu Tiemei's personality is very similar to Qiu Di. They are too utilitarian to do things. Many times they can see through them with their hearts at first sight. This is a taboo in the officialdom. Yu Qiudi also fell into the position of deputy general manager of the group for decades and finally stopped at the position of the group's deputy general manager. Yu Tiemei was not bad. After all, after graduating from the Chinese Department of Peking University, he could not make any progress in the officialdom and became a middle-level cadre. It was good to write and write and write all day long. Yu Tieya is the eldest grandson of the Yu family. Yu Qiudi has high hopes for him and spares no effort to seize support from many ways. Mr. Yu was forced to have no choice but to have Yu Tieya defeated Shi Tuo and made a few phone calls with his old face to give him a second chance.
As for Yu Zhenghua, Mr. Yu shook his head when he thought about it. He sent him to the United States to drink foreign ink for several years. After returning to China, he didn't like anything. He often wanted to overthrow this one and started from the root. Mr. Yu often reflected on whether it was the most serious mistake he had made in recent years.
In order to prevent a missed person, Mr. Yu did not dare to let him go to the grassroots level, nor did he dare to put him in the Kyoto ministries. Instead, he tried his best to arrange a special position for him:
Ombudsman of the Kyoto Supervision Bureau’s Work Style Management Office.
Don’t you like to expose the dark side and copy the Western management system everywhere? Then just play slowly.
Mr. Yu pessimistically estimated that Yu Zhenghua's philosophy would not return to normal and would eventually become a cynical person. Yu Yuqin's son Wen Luo was relatively good at studying, but his future was long after graduation was long and there were many variables. Moreover, his surname was Wen after all, and he could not be considered a true child of the Yu family.
From this we can see that Yu Tieya is not only Yu Qiudi, but is actually the only hope of the entire Yu family.
Mr. Yu blamed himself for his own fault, since Yu Tieya's future is so important, Zhao Yaoyao is Yu Yunfu's daughter, why didn't he do a pretty wedding last night, so that the outside world can see the Yu family's open-mindedness and generosity! The leader of Yu Yuqin, who was not good at responding, was no wonder that he was overwhelmed by the Bai family and could only go home and sulk.
For a long time, Mr. Yu and Mr. Bai have no deep friendship, nor have any conflicts of interest. In the officialdom, Mr. Bai has not violated the rivers. However, for Fang Sheng, Mr. Bai took the initiative to stand opposite the Yu family many times, which made Mr. Yu very angry.
Is it worth it for a deputy department-level cadre? Besides, he is the son-in-law of the Yu family, so what does it have to do with your Bai family?
But Mr. Bai has been on the battlefield for decades, fought countless tough battles, and is good at planning and decisive battles thousands of miles away. He did this, except for the little treasure who brought him back to life, there must be another reason!
