Please understand my literary and artistic sentiments and sentimental thoughts. I plan to give the HOPE Bar to Wei. He is a very interesting person and I think he will manage the bar very well. As for the transfer of the bar, I will leave it to you.
Chu Xi, don't worry!
Yu Nianchu's departure did not have much impact on everyone's lives, except that Xia Tian would occasionally think of that silent and steady man.
Yu Nianchu never returned to City B, but Jing Chuxi would receive postcards and letters from him every once in a while, in which Yu Nianchu told Jing Chuxi about his life.
Ah Wei accepted Yu Nianchu's gift. He still managed the HOPE bar, but also started going back to school. He still didn't know what the meaning of his existence was, but he knew that in the distant heaven, there was someone who hoped that he would live well.
In a small southern town at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, a handsome bar owner came and ran a bar named "Summer".
He is very handsome and likes to laugh. His eyes and eyebrows are curved when he laughs. In his spare time, he likes to go up the mountain to paint and play guitar in the bar.
People say that the sound of his guitar reflects his longing for someone. He never denies it, but he is not sure either.
One day, a girl with a bright smile applied to be the only waitress in the bar.
The handsome boss spent most of his time arguing with the waiters and never played the sad guitar again.
Yu Nianchu looked at the clever and eccentric little girl in front of him and couldn't help complaining again: "Jiang Xiaoke, can you be quiet for a while? If you keep making such a fuss, our store will soon be out of customers..."
Jiang Xiaoke looked back at him and smiled, her eyebrows curved, but she still had no guilt and continued to do her own thing. At this moment, Yu Nianchu seemed to see the appearance of Xia Tian.
Chapter 47: Broken Beheading Sword
Xiao÷shuo◎net】, ♂Xiao÷shuo◎net】,
The result of the inquiry made Lu Yan very strange. On the surface, Qin Shukai was just a young man from the county without any background. Although he had a powerful father-in-law in his first marriage, his ex-wife had divorced him and there should be no relationship between them. The strangest thing was that around the time of his second marriage, Qin Shukai was promoted again. This time, he was promoted to deputy secretary of the Pushui County Party Committee. For a young man of his age to have made such progress in such a short period of time, his development momentum was still quite strong.
Lu Yan's many years of experience in officialdom allowed him to come to a basic conclusion: there must be a force behind Qin Shukai supporting him, otherwise it would be impossible for him to make such rapid progress in such a short period of time.
The strangest thing is here. From what I have inquired, Qin Shukai's parents still make their main living by selling buns. Qin Shukai's current wife, Liu Dandan, works at the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. She comes from a single-parent family and her mother works at a university. She may have some contacts with the city's leaders, but it is impossible for her to be of much help to Qin Shukai's progress.
After investigating all the circumstances, Lu Yan thought that perhaps Qin Shukai was just lucky and all the good opportunities happened to come to him. He was young and hardworking, and the current head of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Secretary Hong, was also a man who liked to do practical things, so Qin Shukai got his current position.
With this idea in mind, Lu Yan invited several of his powerful friends to dinner and mentioned Qin Shukai during the meal to see if anyone had a way to deal with Qin Shukai.
They are all officials, and the goal is to reconcile. So everyone asked Lu Yan curiously, what is the grudge between you and Qin Shukai, and why do you want to go against him?
Lu Yan spoke bitterly about Qin Shukai's behavior of making things difficult for his sister, which was naturally exaggerated and exaggerated to the utmost.
Everyone was silent after hearing this. When Qin Shukai worked in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, many agency cadres knew his work style. He was a well-known impartial and selfless discipline inspection cadre in the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If the cadre had no problems, he would never make things difficult for him. On the contrary, if he deliberately made things difficult for a cadre, that person must have some problems.
The primary task for everyone in officialdom is to protect themselves, and the second is to constantly look for suitable opportunities like a hound and seek promotion. As for participating in the so-called struggle, no one is willing to do that, especially for someone like Qin Shukai, who may become a city leader in the future, so there is no need to offend him.
As for the cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission, generally speaking, it would be good if you can curry favor with them, but if you can't, then keep your distance from them. After all, dealing with people from the Discipline Inspection Commission is a rather dangerous thing. Now, as long as they are cadres with some real power, who can guarantee that their bottom is completely clean? Since you are well aware of your own situation in all aspects, it is better to keep a proper distance from the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission. These people's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a hunting dog.
Lu Yan asked everyone to help him come up with ideas on how to deal with Qin Shukai. No one spoke up. Lu Yan saw that the atmosphere at the table suddenly cooled down, and he immediately understood.
Everyone present was thinking in their hearts that their friendship with them was not enough to get them to help deal with Qin Shukai. Lu Yan was a cadre who had seen some situations, so he quickly changed the topic to the current hot topics, which changed the atmosphere at the table.
After Lu Xiaobai called her brother and heard that her brother was going to find someone to deal with Qin Shukai and teach him a lesson, her mood immediately changed. She believed that her brother was capable of controlling Qin Shukai, and she didn't have to be afraid of this deputy secretary of the county party committee and head of the organization department.
With this idea in mind, Lu Xiaobai became arrogant in his words and deeds. On many occasions, he ridiculed Qin Shukai with a disdainful tone and made a lot of publicity about the so-called special relationship between Qin Shukai and Ma Yan. Especially when it came to the matter of the Organization Department applying for funds from the Finance Bureau for public elections, Lu Xiaobai said, "Isn't Qin Shukai very capable? But in front of me, Lu Xiaobai, he is just a waste. He wants to get money from my Finance Bureau, but there is no such good thing. As long as the people recommended by the Finance Bureau are not promoted, the funds for the public election will not be in place. If he has the ability, let this deputy secretary pay for the public election himself."
Many things are like this. Something that obviously did not happen, but when enough people talk about it, it seems to become true. Such slander has a great impact on Qin Shukai's newly established image of an upright, honest and diligent leader.
Such words were said too often and naturally reached Qin Shukai's ears. Sometimes, the person who passed the message would add a few more words, making the words that reached Qin Shukai's ears seem even more unbearable.
Even ordinary people would be unhappy if people talked about them behind their backs, let alone leading cadres who have to pay attention to their image and reputation.
Of course, it was not convenient for Qin Shukai himself to comment on this matter. After all, he was a leader and a man. He could not get angry with Lu Xiaobai over these trivial gossips, so he could only hold his anger in his heart.
As a friend, Wang Yaozhong couldn't stand it anymore. He called Li Xiping to his office and quietly asked about the progress of the investigation into Lu Xiaobai.
Li Xiping had also heard such rumors recently and understood Wang Yaozhong's thoughts, so he reported that in fact, Lu Xiaobai's style of speaking and doing things has always been like this. Relying on the support of the county party secretary Ma Chenglong behind him, he does not take anyone seriously. It is normal for him to treat Minister Qin like this. She also did not take the previous deputy secretary and organization minister seriously.
Wang Yaozhong said that when our cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission face an upright leader being belittled and slandered by his subordinates, they must find ways to maintain the leader's authority. The investigation into Lu Xiaobai's case must be accelerated, and she cannot be allowed to continue to act recklessly.
Li Xiping said that actually, there was a very important person involved in Lu Xiaobai's case. As long as this person could be taken down, things would be much easier.
Wang Yaozhong was very happy when he heard this and asked Li Xiping who this person was.
Li Xiping said, Tong Xiaoxiang, this person has a very special relationship with Lu Xiaobai, and he must be well aware of many of Lu Xiaobai's illegal activities. Maybe sometimes he personally operated according to Lu Xiaobai's instructions, so as long as he attacks
If Tong Xiaoxiang is defeated, Lu Xiaobai will definitely be able to win.
Wang Yaozhong slammed the table excitedly and said, "Now that we have a target, I will do it this way, and we must do it quickly. We cannot allow such cadres to do things in public."
Li Xiping said that they have been working along this line of thought and have initially obtained some facts and evidence, but it will take some time to get many things done without any slack. But since the secretary has given the order, I will ask the people below to work overtime and produce practical results.
After Li Xiping left, Wang Yaozhong called Qin Shukai, wanting to inform him of the good news in advance, telling him not to take Lu Xiaobai to heart, and that the Commission for Discipline Inspection would help him deal with this person. Qin Shukai knew that neighbors had ears, so he said:
"Brother, let's talk about it in the dormitory tonight. I have something to do now. Besides, many things are inconvenient to talk about."
After hanging up the phone with Wang Yaozhong, Qin Shukai asked the person who had just walked into his office, "Who are you? Which unit are you from? What's the matter?"
The person who came in said with a surprised expression, Minister Qin, don’t you recognize your old friend?
Qin Shukai took a closer look and found that the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked a little fat because of his weight gain, was actually Wu Xiaolong. He looked completely different from the person he had remembered before. Qin Shukai quickly stood up from his chair, stretched out his hands to Wu Xiaolong enthusiastically and said:
"It's you, Wu Xiaolong. Long time no see. You've gained weight. Nothing changes faster than a person. When a thin person turns fat, it's hard to recognize him."
When Wu Xiaolong and Qin Shukai were both village instructors, although Wu Xiaolong was following Liu Daming and was not a comrade-in-arms with Qin Shukai, Qin Shukai was able to work in the city thanks to Wu Xiaolong who provided evidence of Liu Daming's affair with a woman. Otherwise, Qin Shukai would not have had the opportunity to work in the city, and would not have had his later development and current position.
Qin Shukai knew that Wu Xiaolong would not come to him without a reason. He must have come this time to ask him for help. He thought that although this person was not very honest, he was still good to him, so he decided in his heart that as long as it was not a particularly difficult matter, he would do his best to help.
Qin Shukai enthusiastically asked Wu Xiaolong to sit on the sofa and personally poured him a glass of water. After the old friends met and chatted for a while about the current development of a large number of old friends they knew back then, Wu Xiaolong said that after Liu Daming was promoted to the director of the Development and Reform Commission, he became more cautious in his actions and words than before. Fortunately, the result of Qin Shukai's fight with him in the past made him understand the truth that one should not go too far as an official or a person.
Wu Xiaolong mentioned Liu Daming at this time, just to remind Qin Shukai not to forget that it was thanks to his help that he was able to defeat Liu Daming. Otherwise, with Liu Daming's background and Qin Shukai's situation at the time, Qin Shukai would have no power to fight back against Liu Daming's moves.
Qin Shukai knew it very well, so he said to Wu Xiaolong, "The last time they had dinner, he heard from the director of the Agriculture Bureau that Section Chief Wu is doing well now and has great potential for development. Besides, the director is an old friend of everyone. You just work hard there. Li Chengwan is also an easy-going person. As long as your work performance is outstanding, he will definitely recommend you at the appropriate time."
Qin Shukai told him clearly that you, Wu Xiaolong, were promoted to section chief in the Agricultural Bureau that year. This was the result of my direct contact with Zhang Jun. It was also a way to repay your help to me. After a few years, if you are still standing still, it is because you have not worked hard enough. If you want to get a backdoor promotion from me, you'd better not count on it. The key is to look at your own work performance. (Because Wu Long is a sensitive word and cannot appear, the name was changed to Wu Xiaolong)
Chapter 48 Mission Completed
Following that red electric light, it hit Lin Yun.
The blood-red lightning immediately penetrated the vast flames and landed on Lin Yun who was shrouded in flames. The lightning containing pure energy continued to flow into his body.
Under the control of the Purple Kite Sword Technique, these pure and powerful thunder forces were continuously poured into the Purple Palace.
The violent force of thunder mixed with the ancient fire-attributed spiritual energy that surged from all directions, and gradually stabilized as time passed.
The flames on his body, which were more than sixty feet high, also calmed down a little at this moment.
Feeling this change, Lin Yun felt a little relieved. At least he was not burned to ashes by the surging flames.
The heavy and solid flames fell on the body layer by layer like a shawl. Not only was it scorching hot, but it was also as thick as a mountain, bringing tremendous pressure to the person sitting cross-legged.
Letting the flames sting his body, Lin Yun sat calmly, practicing the Purple Kite Sword Technique calmly.
A steady stream of fire-attributed spiritual energy poured into the silver purple iris flower, and the ancient purple iris sword technique was improving at an incredible speed.
Rumble!
The sixty-two-zhang-high flames shot up into the sky, making the area shine brightly and dazzlingly. The violent and frightening scene attracted the attention of the leaders of the three layers of the Fire Hell from a very far distance.
When he felt that the figure in the firelight had only reached the minor success level of the Yin Xuan Realm.
Their jaws almost dropped in surprise. How could this be possible?
If the flames were so horrifying, even the top masters of the Yinxuan realm wouldn't dare to hold on for long.
In their eyes, Lin Yun's behavior was tantamount to seeking death.
"Has it reached its limit?"
Seeing his cultivation level, which had been advancing rapidly, gradually stabilize, Lin Yun's heart began to become uneasy again.
It was indeed reaching its limit. His mind could still be calm, but his body was indeed under tremendous pressure and pain.
The burning sensation was like thin silver needles penetrating the skin and entering the blood, bone marrow, and internal organs.
If it doesn't hurt, it's fine. But if it hurts, it's like a thousand poisons gnawing at your heart, causing you to wish you were dead.
If ordinary people were like this, they would have dared not to act rashly and would have been very cautious and tread carefully as if walking on thin ice.
But what is the limit?
Over the past ten days, what Lin Yun has been doing every day under Mo Ling is to break limits, shatter limits, and surpass limits.
I come to this hell of fire only to reach the pinnacle, to break the limit!
Without thinking too much, Lin Yun once again increased the speed of absorbing the Purple Kite Sword Technique, and the flames of more than sixty feet expanded by nearly twice as much.
Baizhang!
Covered by a hundred-foot-wide flame, the area where Lin Yun was located was suddenly ablaze with flames that shot up into the sky. It could be seen clearly in every corner of the third floor of this secret realm.
The fire was raging and the flames were raging.
Rumble!
Under the hundred-foot-high flames, even the sky seemed to be shaking with burning, and dozens of red, fiery lightning bolts fell down with a loud bang.
This shocking scene, this horrifying vision, left the onlookers dumbfounded.
"This kid is crazy!"
“Absolutely crazy!”
"Are you really not afraid of death? Oh my God, this is so scary..."
Faced with such an astonishing sight, many warriors who were close to Lin Yun avoided him.
It is said to be close, but the closest one is still dozens of miles away.
On a low mountain peak on the third level of the secret realm, the top of the mountain was covered with a flame of more than 80 feet. The strange phenomenon here was very shocking, but it was still slightly inferior to Lin Yun's 100-foot
A little.
In the firelight, there was a young man in gray, sitting cross-legged.
call out!
The young man in gray suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. With just one glance, this sight seemed to pierce through the void, like the sharpest sword in the world, omnipotent and unmatched.
"Interesting, when did such a monster appear in Youzhou City?"
The young man in gray raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of amusement as he looked in the direction where Lin Yun was.
Unlike other people, outsiders can only slightly sense Lin Yun's cultivation.
