Chapter 3
Chapter 2: Who Will Let You Go
There are too many things in this world that cannot be given up. If Shen Huai died the moment he fell from a height, the thing that Shen Huai couldn’t give up the most would be his younger sister Xiao Li, who would be lonely from now on…
The urn was stored in the Taling Garden, and the funeral crowd soon came out again.
Once again, seeing Xiao Li’s bloodless, white and transparent face from a distance, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, Shen Huai’s heart was pierced again.
Zhao Dong, a long-time friend and a colleague of the Municipal Steel Factory, drove the truck borrowed from the factory to send Xiao Li and the relatives and friends who were mourning back to Meixi Town.
Shen Huai couldn’t rest assured, and there was no excuse for approaching, so he could only drive behind the truck and follow him to Meixi Town.
Meixi Town belongs to Xiapu County under the jurisdiction of Donghua City, but it is geographically close to Donghua City.
Meixi Town and Donghua City are separated by a wide Meixi River. There is a cement bridge built in the late 1960s that connects with the urban area.
Shen Huai just followed outside the old house in the east of Meixi Town and parked the car under the shade of a tree by the roadside.
At this time, what can he do other than watch from a distance?
Back in Meixi, it was almost dark, relatives and friends left one after another, and Zhao Dong also drove back to the city with several colleagues.
Shen Huai sat in the car and saw that everyone else was leaving, but his sister-in-law stayed to accompany Xiao Li, so he felt a little more at ease.
In the past three days, his mind was in chaos, his body and mind were exhausted, and Shen Huai didn’t know when to fall asleep…
After the parasitism, Shen Huai still retained most of the memory fragments of the original owner of the body.
For Shen Huai, these memories were unfamiliar for a moment, they belonged to the previous Shen Huai.
Even if he can transfer these memory fragments into his mind like a movie, the strangeness cannot be eliminated, just like playing a movie, playing someone else’s life, he is just an audience – it is this strangeness that Shen Huai can be very sure of. The previous Shen Huai no longer exists.
In his sleep, when Shen Huai heard the phone ringing, he thought it was the sound of his dream.
In 1993, even a pager could attract people’s attention in Donghua City, let alone a mobile phone?
The phone was beeping, Shen Huai just clenched his arms, trying to make his body lie down more comfortably, subconsciously thinking that the sound of the phone had nothing to do with him—for about five or six seconds, Shen Huai suddenly woke up, After the sound, he rushed from the hospital to the city hall to get the car out, and indeed threw a mobile phone and a wallet on the dashboard…
Shen Huai sat up in shock, patted his head, and secretly warned himself: What are you thinking, you can only live as Shen Huai in the future!
Shen Huai squinted at the sun, but he didn’t expect to sleep until eight or nine o’clock, the old house was locked from the outside, and he didn’t know where Xiao Li went early in the morning.
Shen Huai leaned over and picked up the phone, hesitant, but answered the phone anyway.
Shen Huai heard the voice on the other end of the phone, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiarity is because of previous memories, and strangeness is because Shen Huai knows clearly that he lives in the place of others.
“Secretary Shen, where are you? In addition to the cars used by the mayors, the city government has only three small cars that can be maneuvered. You drove the 927 out and didn’t return overnight. Have you ever thought that someone in the government office will be in a hurry to use it today. What about the car? If your injury is okay, drive back to the city quickly.”
The other party’s voice was low and muddy, and a round face with a big fat nose flashed in Shen Huai’s mind. This was the voice of Ge Yongqiu, secretary general of the municipal government.
Ge Yongqiu, who is over 40 years old, is fair-looking, but there are a few white pockmarks on his face, and everyone calls him Ge pockmark behind his back.
It can’t be said that he came out of the hospital and parked his car outside Meixi Town to sleep for the night; Shen Huai’s voice was jerky, and he replied lightly: “I know, I’ll go back…”
Ge Mazi didn’t say anything more and hung up the phone.
Shen Huai didn’t take Ge Mazi’s questioning at ease either.
The officialdom is often composed of different circles, you do not belong to this circle, you belong to that circle, and each circle often has only one boss.
Ge Mazi is a member of the mayor Gao Tianhe, and Shen Huai is the secretary of Chen Mingde, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor.
Although Shen Huai’s level was a bit lower than Ge Mazi, he belonged to a different circle and had different bosses, and he and Ge Yongqiu would not be in trouble on weekdays.
Not knowing where Xiao Li went early in the morning, Shen Huai could only drive back to the city first.
************
As soon as Shen Huai drove into the city government compound, he saw Ge Mazi waiting for him in front of the steps of the city government building.
When Ge Mazi kicked his nose on his face and got the opportunity to train him, Shen Huai scolded him in his heart, stopped the car, rolled down the window, and asked, “Secretary-General Ge, won’t he just stand here and wait? me?”
Ge Yongqiu’s face was gloomy, as if he did not hear the provocative tone of Shen Huai’s words, he said, “The crash accident that happened in the city steel factory four days ago has already reached a preliminary conclusion, and Mayor Chen asked me to go over and listen to the report. If you have nothing to do, Mayor Chen asked you to come with me. After all, you are also a victim and know the situation at the time. ”
Donghua City is not big or small, and the urban area also has a population of one hundred million.
As a pillar enterprise of Donghua City, the municipal steel mill has always occupied a large weight in the city. Since its establishment in the factory for 50 years, it has exported more than ten city and county leaders to the city and its subordinate counties.
Mayor Gao Tianhe, Secretary-General Ge Yongqiu of the Municipal Government, and Xiong Wenbin, Deputy Director of the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, all came from the Municipal Steel Plant; and Gu Tong, the director of the Municipal Steel Plant at this time, is also the Mayor Gao Tianhe ‘s cronies.
This accident happened because of the eyes and nose of Deputy Mayor Chen Mingde, and the city paid so much attention to it. Otherwise, one or two workers would be killed in the factory, and even a small splash in Donghua City would not be able to be raised.
Ge Yongqiu also serves as the deputy head of the municipal government’s safety production leading group. Although he should have come forward for this matter, but thinking of his relationship with the municipal steel mill, Shen Huai knew that it was mostly muddy. May be held responsible for the city’s steel mills?
Shen Huai is a little reluctant to enter the city steel factory at this time. Whether it is the past life or the new life, he needs time to adapt.
Ge Yongqiu just assumed that Shen Huai would not refuse the instructions of Vice Mayor Chen Mingde. He didn’t dare Shen Huai to answer or not, so he opened the car door and sat in.
Ge Yongqiu looked at the phone on the dashboard and frowned:
One of his city government secretary-general wanted to replace “Big Brother” with a new-style mobile phone, and the application report was returned to Chen Mingde’s desk.
It is impossible to drive Ge Yongqiu out, so Shen Huai can only helplessly accompany Ge Yongqiu to the city steel factory to start his “new day” in the true sense.
****************
The city steel plant has more than 2,000 acres in the north of the city, and it will take some time to drive through the gate before reaching the magnificent office building of the steel plant.
Before seeing Gu Tong, the director of the city steel mill, coming out to greet them, Shen Huai and Ge Yongqiu walked directly into the office building and went straight to the director’s office.
When passing the office of the Production Safety Department, I heard a fierce quarrel inside.
“You know how the accident happened, Zhou Dazui. How do you get along with the city and push the responsibility? I can’t control it; but if you want to deduct Haiwen’s compensation, you Zhou Dazui will touch it. Touching your chest, do you still have a conscience?”
This is Zhao Dong’s voice. Shen Huai didn’t expect to catch up with Zhao Dong to fight for compensation for himself at the production safety department.
Shen Huai stopped and glanced at Ge Yongqiu:
What Zhao Dong said about Zhou Dazui, by coincidence, happened to be Ge Yongqiu’s brother-in-law, and it was precisely because of Ge Yongqiu’s relationship that he climbed to the position of director of the production safety department in the city steel factory.
“Zhao Dong, you don’t want to spit people. How to determine the nature and responsibility of the accident is the conclusion made by Director Gu – Sun Haiwen, in order to buy things in front of the city leaders, illegally climbed the heights, which led to the accident. It was dozens of people present at the scene. I saw it with my own eyes. The factory paid for Sun Haiwen’s funeral, and his sister wants to replace him in the factory. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com can do it; what other compensation do you need?” This was Zhou Dazui’s voice.
“Zhou Dazui, what are you talking about? Xiao Li is only sixteen years old. Should he enter the factory without going to school? Even if he replaces Haiwen and enters the factory, how can there be less compensation?”
“Zhao Dong, you are also from the Municipal Steel Plant,” Shen Huai heard a relatively unfamiliar voice, perhaps a new employee of the Production Safety Department, and stood up to help Zhou Dazui, “You know what is going on in the factory. Don’t say that you can’t get too much compensation now, even if you can get it—if someone dies in the factory in the future, and the family members come to the factory to extort one hundred and eighty thousand, will the factory continue to operate?”
“Why do you talk so much nonsense, drive people out, and make trouble next time, call the police directly…”
Shen Huai seemed to have lost his patience when he heard Zhou Dazui. Hearing his voice fade, he saw the door of the office and was opened from the inside.
Xiao Li, who was missing early in the morning, was pushed out from the inside, the sleeve of his shirt was hanging on the door handle, and it was torn apart with a “wow”, and a bloodstain was drawn on his thin arm…
Seeing this scene, Shen Huai’s heart slammed with evil fire, and he punched the face of Zhou Dazui, who was standing inside the door and pushing people out:
“Fuck you, **** you! I saw with my own eyes that the handrail was broken, causing people to fall down. How can you turn black and white in your mouth?”
Zhou Dazui opened the door and pushed people out, how did he expect to receive a punch in person?
Zhou Dazui had severe pain in his nose and head, his eyes were shining with stars, and he staggered back.
It’s just that Shen Huai didn’t think about punching him and let him go. He chased after him. He couldn’t use his left shoulder hard, and his right fist hit him in the face one after another, until Zhou Dazui fell to the ground, and then changed his foot…
This scene made Ge Yongqiu, Zhao Dong and the others standing beside them all dumbfounded. It took a long time for the person next to him before he remembered to hug Shen Huai, who was frizzy, by the waist.
