Chapter 715 [The Past Sorrow] (Chinese)

Li Tongyu said: "In fact, journalists are a very risky profession. During wars, soldiers were the ones with the highest death toll, and the second was our journalists. Even in today's society, many people don't know the work of our journalists. They think we are going to go wherever we are busy, and they are trying their best to report on the dark side of their privacy. Some people have even heard of fire, theft and reporters."

Zhang Yang laughed, but he felt very dissatisfied. Fire, theft and reporters, what was wrong with this?

Li Tongyu said: "Mayor Gong is my old friend. This time our Southeast Daily Meeting cooperates with your Nanxi Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and the Nanxi Municipal Sports Committee to do their best to do a good job in public opinion propaganda for the Provincial Games. However, Director Zhang also wants to give us Southeast Daily reporters a green channel."

Zhang Yang said: "For this Provincial Games, we have set up a news broadcasting center in the main stadium, which is for major media to use."

Li Tongyu said: "Okay, this is enough to prove your Nancy attaches importance to media work and respect our journalists. It also shows that Director Zhang has a relatively advanced vision and can be synchronized with the world."

Zhang Yang said: "I am not that great."

Li Tongyu suddenly said, "Have you seen Yanran recently?"

The sudden question made Zhang Yang stand there. He looked at Li Tongyu in surprise, wondering why he suddenly mentioned Chu Yanran?

Li Tongyu smiled and said, "Do you think it's a bit strange? I knew Yanran when she was a child. I have cut off contact for more than ten years due to work, but I always greet Commander Chu during the holidays."

Zhang Yang felt that Li Tongyu was not just about bringing each other closer together. He carefully searched the memories related to Li Tongyu in the past, and finally remembered that when Zhu Xiaoqiao Village mountaineering ***, he mentioned Li Tongyu's name when he reported to Governor Song Huaiming, Song Huaiming's expression seemed a little unnatural. Could it be that he and Song Huaiming had known each other for a long time?

Li Tongyu's next words confirmed this. He smiled and said, "Yanran's mother Chu Jingzhi and I have known each other since we were young. Commander Chu saved my father. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, my father once served in Beiyuan and served as the ****** of the Liao Prefectural Committee. He was persecuted to death during the ***. It was Commander Chu who protected our family."

Zhang Yang didn't know that Li Tongyu and the Chu family actually had such a relationship, so he whispered: "President Li and Governor Song must be very familiar with each other?"

When talking about Song Huaiming, Li Tongyu showed a hint of contempt on his face. He did not hide his disgust for Song Huaiming and said coldly: "I don't comment on this person. When I was young, we used to be good friends. His acquaintance with Jingzhi was because of me!" When talking about this past incident, Li Tongyu's heart felt as if he was bitten by a poisonous snake. What he regretted the most in his life was to introduce Jingzhi to Song Huaiming. If it weren't for this incident, how could Jingzhi meet Song Huaiming, and then how could he fall in love with Song Huaiming, marry him, and give him a daughter, and what did Song Huaiming give her?

Zhang Yang vaguely guessed that there must be some emotional entanglement between Li Tongyu and Song Huaiming and Chu Jingzhi, and it is not convenient for him to ask about the previous generation.

Li Tongyu had no intention of continuing to explain. He picked up the teacup again, but found that the water in the teacup had dried up. Zhang Yang picked up the teapot and added hot tea to him. Li Tongyu's words just now had aroused his interest. Zhang Daguan Ren wanted to hear him continue to say it.

Li Tongyu said: "Jingzhi died too early, and Yanran probably doesn't have much memory of this mother."

Zhang Yang said: "Yanran always remembers her mother in her heart. Because of this, she blamed her mother's death on her father, and she has not yet truly reconciled with her father."

Li Tongyu said coldly: "He really bears unshirkable responsibility for Jingzhi's death." Zhang Yang was shocked again with a firm and decisive tone. It seemed that Li Tongyu was very clear about what happened back then. At this time, Zhang Yang was the most suitable person to play as a listener.

Li Tongyu said: "Time can dilute everything, but it can never wash away the truth of the facts. I have some things about Jingzhi in my hand, and I have always wanted to hand them over to Yanran, but Yanran used to be too young, but now she has grown up, I think it's time to hand them over to her these things."

Zhang Yang suddenly had a premonition that the things in Li Tongyu's hands may not be a good thing for Yanran. He smiled and said, "President Li, the past has passed after all. Since Yanran is living a happy life now, why bother to uncover those scars and make the wound bleed again?"

Li Tongyu said: "Zhang Yang! Please allow me to call you that. Putting aside everything in the workplace, I should be considered your elder. I would like to advise you that the most important thing between people is to be honest. Deception is deception. Don't put the guise of kindness. No matter how high-sounding the lies are given, the fact of lying cannot be changed! Deception and lies are a kind of harm in themselves!"

Zhang Yang's failure to speak does not mean that he agrees with Li Tongyu's remarks.

Li Tongyu said: "Yanran is a good girl, you must know how to cherish it."

Zhang Daguanren began to feel that Li Tongyu was too much in charge. He first regarded himself as an elder, and now he put on a face to teach him a lesson. If Zhang Yang hadn't been curious and had already left, he wouldn't take Li Tongyu seriously at all.

Li Tongyu also realized that his words were a bit too much and smiled apologetically: "Actually, these words should not be said by me, but I once swore in front of Jingzhi's grave that I would treat her family well, and in my heart, I always treat Yanran as a daughter."

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently and said, "I have never heard Yanran mention you in the past!" This sentence is a bit rude.

Li Tongyu smiled and said, "Some things and some people you don't want to say or mention them may not mean that they are not important."

Zhang Yang also had to agree with Li Tongyu's words.

Li Tongyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a very happy thing to chat with you, but we should have met a long time ago."

Zhang Yang said: "No matter what, I still hope that some of the things you control will not cause harm to Yanran."

"Do you care about her?" Li Tongyu looked at Zhang Yang with bright eyes.

Zhang Yang nodded.

Li Tongyu said: "I won't hurt her!"

After this conversation with Li Tongyu, Zhang Yang began to figure out Li Tongyu's motives. Li Tongyu did not tell Chu Yanran what he wanted to tell Chu Yanran, but this matter became Zhang Yang's trouble. The only thing he could conclude was that Li Tongyu hated Song Huaiming. When he mentioned Song Huaiming, the hatred hidden deep in his heart would be revealed involuntarily. After so many years, the relationship between Chu Yanran and Song Huaiming finally eased. Will Li Tongyu deepen the misunderstanding between them again? After careful consideration, Zhang Yang decided to reveal this matter to Song Huaiming. This was not because Song Huaiming was the governor of Pinghai Province, and Zhang Yang had no intention of pleasing him. Although he had become a lot from Song Huaiming because of Chu Yanran's affairs, Zhang Yang always believed that Song Huaiming was an upright person, and he also believed that Song Huaiming had no hypocrisy in his fatherly love for Chu Yanran.

Some things are hard to explain on the phone. Zhang Yang arrived in Dongjiang on Saturday night. He planned to visit Song Huaiming that night and told him about Li Tongyu in person. After staying in Dongjiang for a night, he would go to Beiyuan early tomorrow morning to go on a date with Chu Yanran. He and Chu Yanran agreed that they would arrive at Mengxian Lake at twelve noon.

Without Li Tongyu's episode, Zhang Yang was in a very happy mood during this period, but since he met Li Tongyu, he had an ominous premonition that this person must have had some evidence that was not conducive to Song Huaiming, and these things may have made the relationship between Chu Yanran and his father even worse.

When Zhang Yang drove the military green jeep to the provincial party committee’s family compound, he encountered obstacles. Many times the license plate number represents a privilege. Now it is just an ordinary license plate number, which is incomparable to the license plate number of Zhang Yang’s pickup truck in the past. He realized that it was necessary to take time to go to the vehicle management department to get his license plate back. After registering in front of the door honestly, the guard checked his identity and called Song Huaiming’s house to confirm that there was indeed this visitor, so he put the official Zhang in.

When Zhang Yang's jeep came to Song Huaiming's door, he saw that the door had already opened. Song Huaiming's secretary Zhong Peiyuan just came out of it. He smiled and nodded at Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang is here!"

Zhang Yang smiled: "Hello Secretary Zhong!"

Zhong Peiyuan looked at Zhang Yang's hand. Zhang Yang did not have the habit of coming empty-handed, and was carrying local local specialties from Nancy in his hand.

Zhang Yang said, "Wait!" He put down the things, returned to the car, took two boxes of spring tea that had just been on the market and handed them to Zhong Peiyuan. Zhang Daren had been in the officialdom for a long time, and his eyelids became more and more active.

Zhong Peiyuan smiled and said, "How can I be embarrassed?"

Zhang Yang said: "Take it and try it, it's not an outsider!"

Zhong Peiyuan did not continue to refuse, and took the tea and said to Zhang Yang: "Governor Song just came back. He worked hard recently and was not in a good mood." After taking other people's things, he certainly had to disclose some information to him. In fact, Zhong Peiyuan also knew the relationship between Song Huaiming and Zhang Yang very well. Even if Song Huaiming was in a bad mood, he would not be angry with Zhang Yang, but if he said this sentence, it seemed that he was a favor to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I understand!"

Zhong Peiyuan turned around and left.
