After hearing Lu Qian's words, Qiao Liang's heart was suddenly confused and felt huge pressure. He understood very well why Lu Qian came here to find him and why he told him about this. He understood even more clearly what his attitude towards this matter meant to Lu Qian to him.

Under this sudden pressure, thinking of his current situation, Qiao Liang's mind was a little confused and he kept silent for a moment.

Lu Qian continued: "This time, you left the commission office and were sent to this mountain. I feel very distressed and uncomfortable, but I believe that all this is temporary. The dark clouds will eventually dissipate, and the sun will shine on the earth. I will not watch you being excluded and beaten up. I will definitely find a way to get you out of here and start a new journey again."

Lu Qian's words were obviously hinting to Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang frowned and looked at Lu Qian: "Does the one you said have any direct relationship with whether I agree with you to leave or stay?"

"Uh...this..." Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, "Maybe...no, maybe, something is natural..."

Obviously, Lu Qian still wants to express some of her meaning.

Qiao Liang continued to frown: "It's just maybe... You came to me for my opinion today. Does your dad know about this?"

"I don't know, this is my personal matter, and I don't need to report it to him in advance." Lu Qian paused and said, "Of course, I might tell him later. I think he would not object if he knew it."

Qiao Liang nodded: "Lu Qian, this is a major event that concerns your personal future and destiny. I think you shouldn't ask me, but your parents."

"No, I have to ask you first." Lu Qian said with a certain tone.

"Why must I ask first?" Qiao Liang took out a cigarette and lit it, and took two deep breaths.

"Stop pretending to be stupid, you know it very well in your heart." Lu Qian said.

"Do I have to answer this question?" Qiao Liang said.

"Yes, it must, and it must be done immediately, things cannot be delayed." Lu Qian said.

Qiao Liang looked at the sunset in the west, was silent for a while, and said, "Lu Qian, I can't make any decisions for you about this matter, let alone make decisions for you, so I'm sorry..."

"No, you can, you can." Lu Qian interrupted Qiao Liang.

"No--" Qiao Liang shook his head slowly, his face very firm.

Lu Qian's eyes suddenly turned red: "Qiao Liang, what do you mean? Do you really don't understand my heart for you? Don't you want me to stay with you? Do you really don't want to be with me?"

Lu Qian's voice was a little more swallowed.

Qiao Liang's heart trembled slightly, and he tried to calmly say: "Lu Qian, I understand your heart to me. I am very grateful for your kindness to me. But, emotional matters, I now..."

"It's the same thing again. You don't want to get involved in relationships now. You want everything to go with the flow, right?" Lu Qian interrupted Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang nodded: "Maybe...yes."

Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang straight: "Qiao Liang, tell me, what are you avoiding? What are you afraid of? What are you sensitive to? Tell me, you say--"

Qiao Liang's heart continued to tremble, he looked up at the sky, and said softly: "I'm sorry, don't ask me this question."

Lu Qian stared at Qiao Liang in a daze.

Qiao Liang continued: "Lu Qian, you are a very good girl. I have always regarded you as a very good friend. We are very good friends. I am grateful to you and me from the bottom of my heart. I am very grateful, but I... sorry, don't force me..."

"Don't say sorry to me. You have nothing to do with sorry to me. On the contrary, I owe you a life... Also, I didn't force you, I just asked you to give me an answer and let you tell me clearly whether I should leave or stay. Is this difficult? Is this question really difficult to answer? Apart from you, I have never been so humble in front of others since I was a child. Are you really a stern heart?" Lu Qian's voice was filled with a bit of chasing and desolation.

Qiao Liangping looked at Lu Qian: "Lu Qian, everyone has their own inner world. The state of each person's inner world, whether good or bad, right or wrong is determined by their own experience. So, no matter what, I hope not to force, any trouble or confusion. You press your future and destiny on me and on our relationship, which makes me overwhelmed, because I really don't want to think about and face it now. Now, I don't have enough confidence and confidence, so at this time, I can't give you a clear answer, I hope you can understand..."

Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang again, and the light of hope in her eyes was gradually extinguishing, replaced by sadness and anger.

"Qiao Liang, you are a bastard, a coward!" Lu Qian suddenly gritted her teeth, "You are a big flirtatious carrot, I ask you, what exactly do I can't compare to Ye Xinyi, Shao Bingyu, and Jiang Xiuxiu. I am the daughter of Huanghua after all, and they are two divorced, one is a married woman... You shameless person, you don't even let go of a married woman, and you are so angry that I'm so angry..."

Qiao Liang was amused and crying: "Lu Qian, you can call me a bastard, a coward or even a shameless person, but don't say that, you shouldn't say that..."

"I'll just say!" Lu Qian said angrily.

"Lu Qian, this is not good, it's really not good." Qiao Liang sighed.

"If you know if it's not good, you will still anger me. Who made you angry?" Lu Qian said frustratedly.

"I didn't anger you, how dare I anger you?" Qiao Liang said helplessly.

Lu Qian stopped talking, stared at Qiao Liang, her chest kept rising and falling.

Qiao Liang saw that the sunset was about to go down the mountain and said to Lu Qian: "It's getting late, so hurry up and go back to the city. It's dark and the road in the mountains is hard to walk..."

"It's hard to leave, I fell into the ravine and died, and you don't have to worry about it!" Lu Qian said angrily.

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly.

Lu Qian then got into the car, then handed a book to Qiao Liang: "Hold it."

Qiao Liang took it and saw it was Carnegie's "The Weakness of Human Nature".

"You bought it." Qiao Liang said.

"Nonsense." Lu Qian said angrily.

"Why did you think of buying this book for me?" Qiao Liang said.

Lu Qian snorted: "You go and ask Comrade Liao for this."

Qiao Liang suddenly understood that this was what Liao Gufeng asked Lu Qian to buy and give to him. When he was in such a predicament, Liao Gufeng gave him this book, and his intention was self-evident.

Qiao Liang's heart was warm and a touching tide surged. Liao Gufeng, who was far away in the northwest, was still caring about himself. What a precious friend who forgot about the ages.

"Lu Qian, thank your father on my behalf. Tell him that I will read this book thoroughly." Qiao Liang said.

Lu Qian snorted again: "One old and one young, I don't know what I think in my heart..."

"What does this mean?" Qiao Liang blinked.

"Why do you think about it yourself?" Lu Qian glared at Qiao Liang fiercely, then started the car and turned around and wiped his eyes while driving.

Looking at the dust rising from the car leaving, Qiao Liang suddenly felt a sense of melancholy and loss. Lu Qian's job stance was about to end, and she was leaving Jiangzhou and returning to the capital. Although she was reluctant to leave Jiangzhou, she could not make a decision for her whether to leave or stay. She did not have this power or qualification.

Recalling the experience of knowing Lu Qian to the present, and recalling the laughter and sorrow of Lu Qian during this period, Qiao Liang's heart was turbulent and a complicated feeling came out. When will Lu Qian see her when she left, I don't know if she will see her again.

Looking at the bloody setting sun in the west, Qiao Liang sighed deeply...

At this time, the deputy director came over and whispered: "Mr. Qiao, it's time for us to have supper."

"Yeah, okay, have a meal..." Qiao Liang nodded in a daze.

The deputy director then went to the restaurant to be busy.

As night fell, Qiao Liang and the deputy director sat in the restaurant for supper.

Usually Qiao Liang eats with the workers, but everyone goes home on weekends, only him and the deputy director.

While eating, the deputy director said: "Mr. Qiao, it's the weekend, why don't you go back to the city or go back to your hometown to have a look?"

The deputy director knew that Qiao Liang's hometown was not far from Qiaojiayu.

"I don't want to go back. If you want, you can go back to the city." Qiao Liang said while eating.

The deputy director smiled: "I won't go back if you don't go back, I'll be here to accompany you."

"I'm not a child, I don't need you to accompany you." Qiao Liang said.

"That won't work either. You will be lonely alone." said the deputy director.

Qiao Liang stopped chopsticks and looked at him, making him feel uncomfortable and smiled unnaturally.

Qiao Liang then smiled: "Man, you have worked hard. Should I report to Secretary Lu and give you a reward?"

The deputy director laughed dryly: "President Xie Qiao is kind, but it's better to leave. This is what I should do."

"Well, you should do it, okay, this is said, okay, it's very good..." After Qiao Liang said that, he grinned at him, and then started to eat again.

The deputy director was a little nervous when Qiao Liang said this and made fun of it, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Qiao Liang took a walk in the base for a while, then returned to the dormitory, leaned against the bedside, opened Liao Gufeng to send him "The Weakness of Human Nature" to start watching.

Since Liao Gufeng specifically asked Lu Qian to give him this book, of course he had to read it carefully and not let Liao Gufeng down on his painstaking efforts.

"Only by understanding the weaknesses of human nature can we change ourselves in a targeted manner, adapt to the environment, and control our lives. People do not fail because they have no beliefs, but because they cannot turn beliefs into actions and stick to them to the end...

The saddest person in the world is that he does not have enough advantages to show off, but he also conceals his pitiful inferiority with annoying arrogance and boast. To succeed, the conditions must be met are to use your desires to enhance your enthusiasm, use your perseverance to smooth the mountains, and at the same time, to believe that he will succeed..." Qiao Liang savored the words in the book and savored them carefully.

The deputy director sneaked into the window of Qiao Liang's dormitory and looked in through the gap. He saw Qiao Liang concentrate on reading. Then he tiptoed away, returned to his room, took out his cell phone and started dialing, and said for a moment: "Secretary Lu..."

Although the footsteps of the deputy director leaving were very slight, Qiao Liang still noticed them. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to read.

Just as he was fascinated by the sight, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. He touched the phone and saw that the caller was in. The landline number was not from Jiangzhou or Jiangdong.

Qiao Liang didn't know where the area code was, so he immediately replied: "Hello, who?"

After a moment of silence on the phone, a vigorous and thick voice came: "Well, I'm okay, this guy..."
