After Lin Xiaojie took office, Fu Donghua was the first to refuse. He came to Pei Donglai's office and said, "President Pei, tell me, how can there be such a weird rule in the world? Let the vice president take charge of the president. You can see it, but I can't. Go down," Fu Donghua said angrily.
In fact, Fu Donghua is a pretty good person, very capable, and very motivated at work. His only shortcoming is that he is a little impulsive and lacks a little bit of authority.
"Donghua, why are you angry? Even if you say something, it can't change the fact that she is the acting chairman. It's OK to have trouble with others, but don't make trouble with yourself," Pei Donglai said calmly.
Lin Xiaojie also knew that Fu Donghua had a prejudice against her, but for now, she did not dare to deal with Donghua. Firstly, her position was not yet secure, and secondly, Fu Donghua was also capable and needed it.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Jiangcheng is extremely cold this year, with heavy snow falling.
Zhang Yutong sent a message saying that he would not come back to Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year this year. Zhang Yufei took Li Zixuan to Yunnan to join her family.
This year, Pei Donglai was alone again. He originally planned to come home to celebrate the New Year, but he was afraid that his parents would ask about his marriage, and it was also inconvenient for Ning Dong, so Pei Donglai simply stayed in Jiangcheng.
When Li Zixuan set off, she called Pei Donglai and invited him to Yunnan to celebrate the New Year together. Zhang Yufei also said beside her: "Lao Pei, we are waiting for you in Lijiang. Let's go and play together when you come."
Pei Donglai wanted to go, but ultimately refused.
On the night of the 30th, Pei Donglai came to Li Yunfeng's house as he did in previous years. This place had become his second home. As long as he had nowhere to go, he would come here.
After arriving, I found that Lin Xiaojie was also there.
"Donglai, Xiaojie was called here by my dad. My dad also knew your ex-mother-in-law before, and we are classmates. Some time ago, she came to visit my dad. When my dad knew that she was alone in Jiangcheng, he called her coming".
"Donglai, come in, what are you two muttering at the door? Come in and drink," Mr. Li shouted.
Lin Xiaojie knew that Pei Donglai was avoiding her, but she did not show displeasure. Instead, she enthusiastically poured wine for everyone.
Mr. Li could see that the two of them were a little unnatural, and he also knew that they had been husband and wife before.
"You young people just like to care about things, but it doesn't matter. When you reach my age, you will understand that life is just like that. Only by knowing how to be tolerant and considerate can you live a happy life." After Mr. Li finished speaking, Just raise your glass.
As Mr. Li roared, the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated, followed by the excitement of the New Year.
Every time he went to Mr. Li's house, Pei Donglai drank a lot. Pei Donglai felt that this place was like his own home, especially relaxing.
After drinking a pound, Mr. Li took a rest, leaving the Westerners alone.
Pei Donglai got up and wanted to leave, but he drank too much and could no longer stand still. In the end, he simply slept on the sofa all night.
The next day, Pei Donglai returned to his den. It was too deserted and not popular at all.
During this Spring Festival, Zhang Yutong only sent a blessing text message to Pei Donglai. After Pei Donglai came back, there was no further text. On the contrary, Li Zixuan kept chatting with Pei Donglai.
"Are you lonely in Jiangcheng?" Li Zixuan joked.
"I'm used to it, it doesn't matter."
"Just pretend, you definitely want to come to Lijiang, right?" Li Zixuan knew Pei Donglai's inner thoughts.
"Yes, I miss you."
"Think of Yutong. Yutong is very busy during this period. It is relatively warm here in Lijiang, not as cold as Jiangcheng. There are also many tourists here during the New Year. Yutong is busy. Yufei and I are going to help. If you feel lonely Just drink, fall asleep drunk, and contact me again at night.”
Hearing what Li Zixuan said, Pei Donglai felt a little better. Zhang Yutong didn't contact him because he was busy, nothing else.
After hanging up the phone on Li Zixuan, Lin Xiaojie called. After sliding down to answer the call, Lin Xiaojie said: "Donglai, come over here for dinner tonight. You are alone anyway."
"I won't come. I'll continue drinking with Yunfeng in the evening." Pei Donglai rejected Lin Xiaojie.
"Yunfeng and Xiaoran went to Echeng early in the morning, and you still lied to me. My dad is back tonight. Come and have a drink with him." Lin Xiaojie hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Chen Jian is out of prison? It's impossible. It's only been more than a year, so the sentence can't be reduced that quickly, right? Pei Donglai is confused?
Either Lin Xiaojie lied to herself.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Pei Donglai came to Lin Xiaojie's house. After entering, Chen Jian was indeed inside.
It’s been a long time since I last saw Chen Jian. He seems to have gained a little weight and is more energetic than before. It seems that life inside is pretty good. Chen Jian is still wearing shackles. There are two policemen next to him. He is chatting with Julie with ambiguous eyes.
Julie also looked at Chen Jian lovingly and even shed tears.
"Dong Lai, long time no see, come in quickly and stand there as the door god," Chen Jian said happily.
Julie also stood up and greeted Pei Donglai politely.
After sitting down, Lin Xiaojie said: "My dad behaved well inside. After applying, his superiors allowed him to go home and have dinner with us." After speaking, she specially thanked the two policemen beside her.
Just as Lin Xiaojie picked up the wine glass and was about to pour wine for Chen Jian, one of the policemen said: "Ms. Lin, according to the regulations, Chen Jian cannot drink."
"It's okay, I'll have a drink with you," Chen Jian said with a smile.
Due to the rush of time, Chen Jian said while eating, "Donglai, the things I gave you before were given to you, not for you to hand over to Xiaojie. After the new year, you can go to Julie to complete the procedures."
"Mr. Chen, how can I ask for your things? You don't owe me anything, so I can't ask for it. You are coming out soon anyway. I will give it to you when you come out."
No matter what Chen Jian said, Pei Donglai refused. He didn't know why Chen Jian gave him a house and money. But there's no need to know, he won't want it anyway.
An hour later, Chen Jian reluctantly left at the urging of the police. Before leaving, he first hugged Lin Xiaojie and Julie, then walked to Pei Donglai and said, "Donglai, I hope you have a good talk with Xiaojie. There’s nothing that I can’t handle, I’ll try my best to give you whatever you want, okay?”
Chen Jian even wanted to beg Pei Donglai, but Pei Donglai did not agree to Chen Jian's request. He just asked him to reform in peace and come out as soon as possible.
After Chen Jian left, Pei Donglai was about to leave, but Julie stopped him and said, "President Pei, it's Chinese New Year, let's have a drink to celebrate. You are also in Jiangcheng alone, why are you going back?"
Now that he was here, Pei Donglai didn't want to go too far, so he sat down.
Julie and Lin Xiaojie kept drinking with Pei Donglai. Because they drank too much at Mr. Li's house last night, they had not returned from overseas. After a while, Pei Donglai felt dizzy and wanted to get up and leave, but he could no longer walk. .
