In 2023, Jinbitang Hotel in Huanshan District, Jiang'an City, Handong Province.
This is one of the most high-end restaurants in Jiang'an. Ordinary people are afraid of being charged even if they pass by.
Feitian Hall’s private room was a gathering of old classmates, with feasting and feasting, men and women drinking wine, and it was extremely exciting!
Liang Jiangtao, the fourth-level chief clerk of the Ningshui County Party Committee Research Office in Jiang'an City, was sitting in the corner, drinking alone, taciturn, and seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment.
He didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist the warm invitation of squad leader Chen Ping, who almost drove him here.
He, an old man from the county, was completely reduced to a backdrop, using his failure and loneliness to set off the high spirits of others.
Jiang Mengxue, the deputy director of Zhongcheng Law Firm, was dressed in expensive mink, like a queen. Next to her was her husband Guo Tianyu, tall and handsome in a suit and leather shoes. The two of them were like stars holding the moon, sitting high on the main seat, enjoying the surrounding people. of compliments and flattery.
Guo Tianyu is one of the largest real estate developers in Jiang'an. Not only that, he has also undertaken a large number of government projects. He is worth hundreds of millions and is surrounded by people who flatter him.
"Mr. Guo, you are so awesome, you just took down the class beauty of our class!"
"That's not true. Mr. Guo and Meng Xuelang, a talented couple, are simply a match made in heaven!"
"We all have to thank Mengxue for finding such a good husband, so that all our old classmates can take advantage of it. In the past few years, who among us has not bought a house at an internal price? Mr. Guo and Mengxue are our great benefactors!"
"If it weren't for Mr. Guo and Mengxue, would we be able to eat in such a high-end restaurant? The food alone shouldn't cost a few thousand dollars? And this wine is all Maozi. This is the first time I've drunk Maozi!"
Guo Tianyu and Jiang Mengxue just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously at all.
They are born to be superiors, but just giving a little charity to these poor people can make them so grateful. It is really ridiculous!
Helping them is not out of kindness, but to see how despicable they are!
Guo Tianyu casually glanced at Liang Jiangtao sitting in the corner, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You see, Liang Jiangtao was the Prince Charming of our class back then. He was handsome, good at studying, and even went to a key university in the provincial capital. After so many years, how did he end up like this?"
"I remember he used to be very handsome, but now he's unshaven, tsk tsk tsk!"
"My friends in the county heard that he has a weird personality and always likes to go against the leaders!"
"If I were him, I would never come to this party. It's Mr. Guo who is treating me. I have to compete with others to death, and I have to throw away goods to compare. It's so embarrassing! It's so shameless!"
"Mengxue has such a good vision. Fortunately, she kicked Liang Jiangtao and fell into Mr. Guo's arms. Today, she can be a rich wife."
Several tongue-tied women chewed their tongues aside. These words were like steel needles, piercing Liang Jiangtao's already riddled heart even more.
Liang Jiangtao's thoughts went back to 21 years ago, in 2002, the year he graduated from college.
"Jiang Tao, let's break up. My family doesn't agree with our affairs!"
"Your parents are ordinary workers. We don't belong together. It would be okay if you could enter the customs. Now, the only choice is to break up..."
"The short-term pain is worse than the long-term pain. Forget about me!"
"Don't blame me, I can't leave my future to the illusion of tomorrow!"
Jiang Mengxue's words were like cold nails driving into Liang Jiangtao's heart!
It seemed like he really got to know Jiang Mengxue just now!
Jiang Mengxue, have you forgotten how we got together in the first place?
He and Jiang Mengxue were high school classmates and studied in Ningshui County No. 1 Middle School under Jiang'an.
Liang Jiangtao is a decent young man from a small town, coming from an ordinary family in the county.
Jiang Mengxue's father, Jiang Mingan, is the party secretary of the county power company.
Although the two families are in the same county, their conditions are the same in heaven and earth.
However, the two fell in love soon after they were admitted to the first grade of high school.
It was Liang Jiangtao who Jiang Mengxue actively pursued.
In the eyes of high school students, money and family status are actually nothing, which is different from the adult world.
Although Liang Jiangtao's family conditions are relatively poor, he himself is extremely outstanding.
He is a tall man of over 1.8 meters, with a well-proportioned figure and a talent!
He plays basketball well and is better than many students with special sports. He is the prince of basketball.
In the school, he is a famous school idol!
What's more, he studies very well and his grades are always among the best in his grade.
I don’t know how many girls are fascinated by it and make secret glances.
In comparison, Jiang Mengxue was average.
When she was not wearing makeup, her appearance could only be considered above-average, her academic performance was very poor, and her family background was the only thing that could be shown that no one cared much about her now.
Jiang Mengxue first fell in love with Liang Jiangtao, and then pursued him crazily.
As the saying goes, women chase men with spacers.
Facing the enthusiastic Jiang Mengxue, Liang Jiangtao was a young man in love, and finally agreed to be together.
Liang Jiangtao takes relationships very seriously. Although he doesn't have much money, he always uses holidays to work and earn money to buy things for Jiang Mengxue.
I went to the construction site to move bricks in the summer and got very tanned.
Riding a tricycle to deliver gas tanks in winter, my feet were cracked by the cold.
But he had no complaints.
I just want to use all my strength to be good to Jiang Mengxue.
In addition, he tutored Jiang Mengxue every day, which improved Jiang Mengxue's grades a lot, but also dragged down his grades a lot.
This is not over yet. Before the college entrance examination, Liang Jiangtao was able to apply for the Huaxia University of Political Science and Law with his scores. However, Jiang Mengxue came to him and cried, saying that she could not get into the university in the capital with her scores. If Liang Jiangtao was admitted to the Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, the two of them would It's a different place. When Liang Jiangtao is surrounded by beauties from the capital, he will definitely not want her anymore.
She swore that she loved Liang Jiangtao deeply and never wanted to be separated from him!
Although Liang Jiangtao repeatedly promised that he would not change his mind, Jiang Mengxue could not make sense. She said that if he insisted on studying politics and law in China, she would not take the college entrance examination or study, and would rather go south to work.
It can only be said that boys in love are too stupid. Under Jiang Mengxue's willful coercion, Liang Jiangtao did not apply to China University of Political Science and Law, but applied to Handong University of Political Science and Law!
In the end, I was admitted with a score that exceeded the score of 50 points above the Handong Political and Law Score!
And Jiang Mengxue didn't even pass the junior college line.
Later, Jiang Mengxue was admitted to a junior college in the province through repeated studies...
Although Liang Jiangtao paid a lot for Jiang Mengxue, he never complained or regretted it!
He believes that this is what he should do for this relationship!
But Jiang Mengxue obviously didn't think so.
After Liang Jiangtao failed in the customs interview, everything became different!
In this era, the distribution of college students has been cancelled, and basic public examination systems such as the "Interim Regulations on National Civil Servants" have been introduced. However, the recruitment system for civil servants at all levels is being established, and a mature public examination system is far from being formed.
In other words, you can’t take the test wherever you want, or when you want to take the test. You can only take the test in the freshman year and must be recommended by the school.
Although Liang Jiangtao is a top student, the customs application quota is still very precious to him.
Customs is a vertical management agency, with benefits and benefits far exceeding those of local governments, and promotion opportunities are also greater than those of local governments. It is one of the most popular departments in Jiang'an City.
For a fresh graduate, the two offices, Development and Planning Commission, Finance Bureau, Construction Committee and other units can compare with it.
If he passes the exam, Liang Jiangtao basically has a bright future. He is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. If he fails, he will be just a mortal. Nowadays, college students are no longer the pride of heaven.
It's a pity that he failed to pass the exam, which not only meant that he missed the customs, but also lost the opportunity to enter politics. Graduation was approaching, and the recruitment work for all levels of government agencies was basically over.
Uncertain future!
On the other hand, Jiang Mengxue graduated from junior college this year. Relying on her family connections, she entered the Linjiang District Procuratorate of Jiang'an City and solved her career!
The strong and weak status between the two has undergone earth-shaking changes!
As soon as Jiang Mengxue joined Linjiang District, her good appearance and figure immediately aroused the pursuit of many people.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Mengxue agreed to one of the best suitors, Guo Tianyu from the Jiang'an Municipal Construction Committee.
Then he broke up with Liang Jiangtao at lightning speed, using sneaky tactics!
Guo Tianyu's family background is much more prominent than Jiang Mengxue!
His father Guo Jian is the executive deputy mayor of Linjiang District and holds great power!
Later, he became deputy secretary of the district committee, director of the municipal planning bureau, director of the construction committee, and director of the finance bureau. Later, he retired as vice chairman of the CPPCC.
Guo Tianyu soon resigned from the Jiang'an Municipal Construction Committee and became a real estate developer. His business was very large and his assets exceeded 100 million.
Jiang Mengxue made her choice decisively, but for Liang Jiangtao, his career and love were all shattered in an instant. This slap was so hard that it almost destroyed him!
Later, Liang Jiangtao's family tried their best to get him to enter the Ningshui County Justice Bureau. However, because of his adherence to principles, he offended the leader and was sent to one of the most remote towns.
At this point, he has completely changed from a proud man to a joke!
From being someone else's child, he became a negative example.
The successive blows made him depressed and he became more and more taciturn, dormant in the countryside for ten years.
Later, with his solid writing skills, he entered the political research office of the county government, and later was transferred to the research office of the county party committee, where he felt better.
At work, he worked conscientiously and strived for excellence, but he still stayed true to his true nature, adhered to his principles, and never followed the crowd. The result was as you can imagine, of course he was put in the wrong shoes again and was pulled out to take the blame.
Many years passed, and he was still a section clerk. Later, with the help of structural reform, he was given the title of fourth-level chief clerk.
It stands to reason that a fourth-level chief clerk in the county is considered very good. Many people will never be able to become a deputy clerk in their lifetime, but compared with Liang Jiangtao's ability level, they are far from worthy.
Many of his classmates have reached the department level, and the best ones have even reached the deputy director level!
Even those who do business are embarrassed to say that they are not billionaires.
As a lawyer, he also became a partner of a red circle firm. He earned a lot of money and had a certain status in the capital.
And for him, his whole life has been like this, just like a dream.
A good hand, played badly!
Don't blame others, blame yourself!
Be soft-hearted!
Innocent!
