Chapter 366: The Edge of the Chapter
Zhao Lichun nodded slightly, and then said: "What you said makes sense. However, Gao Yuliang is my old subordinate after all, and I can't give up on him easily."
Li Dakang felt somewhat dissatisfied after hearing what Zhao Lichun said. He felt that Zhao Lichun was too lenient with Gao Yuliang, which might bring them more trouble. "Secretary Zhao, I don't think you can give Gao Yuliang a pass just because of our past relationship. His problem is already very serious. If it is not dealt with in time, it may affect our work and image."
Zhao Lichun's face darkened slightly. "Dakang, don't be so excited. I know there is a conflict between you and Gao Yuliang, but we can't let personal grudges affect our work. I will consider various factors and make the right decision."
Li Dakang wanted to say something, but seeing Zhao Lichun's firm attitude, he had to hold it in. He knew that at this point, it was meaningless to continue arguing with Zhao Lichun.
Zhao Lichun was silent for a while, then said: "Dakang, you and Gao Yuliang are both my capable men. I hope you can put aside your personal grudges and work together for our cause."
Li Dakang nodded slightly, "Secretary Zhao, I will do my best to do my job well. However, I also hope that you can see Gao Yuliang's true nature and not be deceived by him."
Zhao Lichun sighed, "I understand. You go down first, I will think about it carefully."
After Li Dakang left, Zhao Lichun sat at his desk and fell into deep thought. He knew that Gao Yuliang's problem was complicated and he needed to handle it carefully. However, he could not ignore Li Dakang's opinions. After all, Li Dakang was a practical man and his opinions also had certain reference value.
Just as Zhao Lichun was lost in thought, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
Zhao Lichun pressed the answer button, and Gao Yuliang's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Secretary Zhao, this is Yuliang. Please listen to my explanation. I really have no choice but to borrow money."
Zhao Lichun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Yuliang, tell me, what's going on?"
Gao Yuliang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Secretary Zhao, I borrowed money for Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang. Qi Tongwei's feelings for Chen Yang are really very deep. They met when they were young and experienced many ups and downs together. Chen Yang is like a beam of light, illuminating Qi Tongwei's life. Qi Tongwei can do anything for Chen Yang. But now, they are facing great difficulties. As their teacher, I really can't bear to see them fall into trouble."
Zhao Lichun was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me in detail what happened between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang."
Gao Yuliang cleared his throat and said, "Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang fell in love with each other during college. Chen Yang is kind, intelligent, and has firm ideals and beliefs. Qi Tongwei is brave, resolute, and full of hope for the future. They studied together, made progress together, and spent many wonderful times together. However, fate is always full of twists and turns. Qi Tongwei was born in poverty and encountered many obstacles in his official career. Chen Yang's family also faced some difficulties. They have been fighting hard for each other, but reality is always so cruel."
"Qi Tongwei made a lot of efforts to be with Chen Yang. He worked hard and wanted to give Chen Yang a bright future. And Chen Yang has always supported Qi Tongwei and encouraged him not to give up. Their love is so sincere and so touching." Gao Yuliang's voice was full of emotion.
Zhao Lichun was slightly moved when he heard Gao Yuliang's story. He recalled his youth when he was also a passionate young man full of longing for love.
Zhao Lichun said slowly: "Yuliang, what you said reminds me of my past. I once had an unforgettable love. At that time, I was full of passion and ideals, and I would do anything for love."
Gao Yuliang was slightly stunned. He did not expect Zhao Lichun to have such feelings. He quickly said, "Secretary Zhao, it turns out that you have had such an experience. Then you must understand the relationship between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang."
Zhao Lichun sighed and said, "Yes, I can understand. But, Yuliang, you have to know that the current situation is very complicated. Borrowing money is not a trivial matter. I need to consider many factors."
Gao Yuliang said hurriedly: "Secretary Zhao, I know that borrowing money is very difficult for you. However, Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang are really desperate. They need this money to solve their current difficulties. I can assure you that once they get through this difficult time, they will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."
Zhao Lichun was silent for a while, then said, "Yuliang, you made a lot of sense, which confused me. However, the loyalty of love you mentioned really touched me. When I was young, I also fought for love. But later, for various reasons, I married Ruilong's mother. There were many frustrations, but it was also for my future and the interests of my family."
Gao Yuliang heard the emotion in Zhao Lichun's words, and he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Secretary Zhao, I'm glad you understand. The love between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang is just like the love you had when you were young, so pure and so touching. They need our help to keep going."
Zhao Lichun nodded slightly and said, "Yuliang, your words have made me fall into deep thought. I need time to think about this matter. Don't worry, wait for my news."
Gao Yuliang quickly said, "Okay, Secretary Zhao. I'll wait for your news. Thank you for listening to my explanation."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lichun sat at his desk and fell into memories. He thought of his love in his youth, that beautiful and kind girl, who was once everything in his life. They strolled on the campus together and looked forward to the future together. However, reality forced them to separate. For the benefit of the family, he married his current wife. Although he had a smooth career, he always had a trace of regret in his heart.
Zhao Lichun thought of the love between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that in this realistic society, pure love has become less and less. It was not easy for Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang to stick to their love. He also remembered his former passion and ideals. At that time, he wanted to serve the people and contribute to the country. However, as time went by, he gradually lost himself and was confused by power and interests.
