NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44: long night
Shangdao Cafe in Ningqing County, Hu Province.
He Xiangdong looked at the clean and tidy young man in front of him, and said first, "Hou Qingbei, right? Your teacher should have told you that my name is He Xiangdong, don't ask more about the rest. You just need to know that I have nothing to do with you. Malicious."
The person sitting next to him was a young man in his early twenties. He didn't have the vigor of his age, instead he was a little sullen.
His name is Hou Qingbei, and he is currently volunteering at a primary school in a village in Ningqing County.
Ningqing County is a national-level poverty-stricken county and the most difficult places in Hu Province.
In this county, apart from the internet cafes all over the place, there is basically no entertainment.
As for high-rise buildings, you can hardly see them.
"I'm... May I ask what you want from me?" When Hou Qingbei spoke, his eyes were a little dodgy.
"You are now working as a volunteer teacher at Tianma Hope Primary School in Hujia Village, Ningqing County, right?"
He Xiangdong frowned slightly, looking at Hou Qingbei in front of him, feeling a little wrong in his heart.
After talking with Chen Hao last time, He Xiangdong took the security guard Xiao An sent by Chen Hao to Ningqing County, a backward area in the west of Hu Province.
There are two suspicious primary schools that need to be investigated. He Xiangdong, through his own power, discovered Hou Qingbei, a volunteer teacher at Tianma Primary School in Hujia Village.
Hou Qingbei graduated from Hu Province Normal University, and He Xiangdong happened to be a graduate of Hu Normal University. Through the school's teacher relationship, he connected with each other.
And there is today's talk.
"Yes." Hou Qingbei nodded without saying a word.
"Don't be nervous and don't be afraid. In fact, we are still alumni. I graduated from Hu Normal University in '93."
He Xiangdong smiled slightly, then picked up the coffee and took a sip.
After learning that the other party was an alumnus, Hou Qingbei felt a little less nervous. He exhaled and said with a strong smile, "I graduated in the 18th class, good senior."
"He came to teach two years ago? Then you can go back as long as you support for another year." He Xiangdong said calmly.
"Yes, as long as you hold on for another year, you will be freed." Hou Qingbei said with a hope in his eyes.
The days here are so desperate and helpless for him, that he sometimes can't breathe. But as long as it lasts for another year, after leaving this place, he can come back to life again.
"Do you miss home? Have you been back to Normal University in the past two years? Rongcheng Metro Line 2 is open to traffic, and there is a subway station in front of our school. It is very convenient for students to travel now." He Xiangdong said with some emotion, " The changes now are really big, basically it will be different in two or three years.”
Hou Qingbei said a little desolately: "I miss home, I haven't gone back to school for a long time, and I miss my previous college life."
"Then you can go back to school after the teaching support is over. Professor Zhang and Professor Chen always remember you and say that you are the best graduate of the 18th class." He Xiangdong encouraged the other party.
Hou Qingbei didn't even think about it, just shook his head, "I won't go back, I've let the teachers down."
"Disappointed? What do you say?" He Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and asked.
The homely things we talked for so long before were naturally for the sake of getting closer, otherwise, if you meet for the first time, do you want the other person to talk to you about everything?
"This can't be said." After Hou Qingbei refused, he thought that the old senior must have something important to ask him suddenly, so he asked, "Senior He, what is the reason for you to ask me out this time?"
"Do you know Tianma Electronics Group?" After He Xiangdong finished speaking, he kept observing the other party's expression.
Sure enough, when he heard the words "Tianma Electronics", Hou Qingbei's expression suddenly changed, and he said a little awkwardly, "I know, I know, why are you asking this?"
"I want to know, what does Li Zhiguo from Tianma Group do every time he comes to Tianma Primary School in Hujia Village?"
"This, this..." Hou Qingbei panted, and after repeating it twice, after hesitating for a while, he said with some embarrassment:
"Senior He, I don't know what you are here to investigate this time. But I won't say it. If I say it, I will be in danger!"
"Thank you for your hospitality today, I'll go back first." Hou Qingbei stood up, and when he was about to leave, he turned his head and reminded He Xiangdong very seriously.
"Senior He, about the Tianma Electronics Group, don't investigate any further! The water here is too deep, you can't play with them! Listen to my advice, go back quickly, it's like a dark night, you can't see the light !"
"When will the long night be bright?" He Xiangdong said with a smile, looking out, it was clearly a sunny day.
But sometimes, what you see with the naked eye is just an illusion.
He Xiangdong fell into deep thought.
He knew that this was a big puddle that might pierce the sky.
If it was just for money, he might give up.
The big deal is that there is no more money from Chen Hao's place.
But...he is a Chinese with a conscience.
He has his own bottom line and his own principles.
Just like when he chose to resign from the media circle.
Today he again faces a choice.
Should we continue the investigation or stop there?
About half an hour later, He Xiangdong picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hey, is that Mr. Hu? I'm Xiangdong, yes, I've already met with Hou Xuedi. I want to ask you what kind of person this Hou Xuedi is?"
After He Xiangdong finished speaking, a kind voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Little Hou, his parents are both farmers, and they have been looking forward to Xiao Hou to become famous. When he was born, he was named after Qingbei because he was able to be admitted to Tsinghua University~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although he fell out of the list later. When he arrived at Normal University, he has always been very simple and eager to learn. Although his family is poor, he is also very confident in his personality, and the teachers also have high hopes for him."
"That's right, then I understand." He Xiangdong remembered how Hou Qingbei looked when he was talking to him just now.
He had some guesses in his mind.
"Did it happen to Xiaohou outside? Whether it's Xiaohou or Xiangdong, if something happens, you must come back to the school!"
"The school will always stand behind you. As long as the students of our Normal University make no mistakes, they will never be bullied by others!"
Hearing the teacher say this, He Xiangdong's heart felt warm for a while, and it was the teacher's words that made him make up his mind.
"Teacher, don't worry, Xiaohou is fine, and I will be fine too. I still have something to do here, I'll hang up first, and I'll go back to school to see you when I'm done."
After hanging up the phone, He Xiangdong got up, nodded to a strong man sitting diagonally opposite, and the two left the cafe one after the other.
He Xiangdong is not alone, there is Chen Hao behind him.
In the Nanyang Chen family, even an old lion is not something that a wild dog can step on.
Chen Hao wants to get rid of Li Zhiguo, so He Xiangdong is also willing to be a sharp blade.
If there is no light in the dark night, then let yourself become that light.
ps: Regarding the line of Li Zhiguo, it seems that the writing is a little dragged. I will finish it as soon as possible. Here is a reference to Zijin Chen's "The Long Night Is Difficult". I especially like the book and the adapted drama. If you are interested, you can go to Soso.
It's a bit uncomfortable, the data did not go up much in the fourth quarter yesterday. . In the future, it will be stable for 2 more, just to sort out the outline and the following plot, alas.
Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a reward and comfort~
