However, Bai Zhe just smiled faintly and remained calm.
Luo Fang looked at Bai Zhe and laughed secretly in her heart: "Let me see how long you can be proud of. How about this time? You can still laugh even after being slapped in the face. You are really thick-skinned." 】
Bai Zhe looked calm on the surface, but there was no way Bai Zhe could be calm in his heart.
After lunch in the restaurant, Bai Zhe had already heard that his grades had dropped by ten points. When he came to the meeting, he was still thinking that Zhang Donghai must be responsible for it.
But now it seems that things are much more serious than imagined. Not only Zhang Donghai, but also Qian Shuzhong and Qin Zhongwei can only bow down in front of the vice-principal. Is there anything he is not convinced about?
Indeed, if you dig deeper, you will definitely find out that Zhang Donghai is deliberately trying to put on his own shoes, and you can even label him as malfeasant, directly ruining his career.
But what effect can it have on yourself?
The stolen rice will definitely not taste good. If someone says it tastes good, it can only be said that if you don't eat it, you will starve to death.
Instead of fighting for his breath, Bai Zhe took a deep look at the back of Zhang Donghai's head, sitting next to him, and felt an unknown fire burning in his heart.
Although Bai Zhe has not yet reached the point where he is hungry, Bai Zhe still can't swallow this sigh of relief that he missed this opportunity.
Now it no longer matters what Chen Yanan says on stage. Bai Zhe is always planning in his mind how to avenge his shame.
Now he is standing on the stage talking eloquently. In terms of conversation and diligence, he is not inferior to Bai Zhe. If it is because of these that he has surpassed himself, Bai Zhe will accept his fate. However, Bai Zhe knows very well that the person who can stand there is not Because of these superficial things, but because of the deep relationship behind him, Bai Zhe was completely trampled under his feet.
At this moment, Bai Zhe felt as if a big stone was pressing on his heart, and he always felt a little short of breath.
[No, I'm going to find Qin Zhongwei tonight and talk to him about this matter openly. Even if I can't shake Chen Yanan, I will make Zhang Donghai pay the price for it! 】
Facing the cruel reality, Bai Zhe could only choose to compromise. But before compromising, he wanted to show those clowns that he was not a soft persimmon who could be easily pinched by others.
The graduation ceremony ended with a round of applause, and Bai Zhe walked out of the auditorium despite the ridicule of many people.
The pride he had before was now severely trampled under his feet just because of the appearance of a big shot. The psychological pressure Bai Zhe endured was ten times or even a hundred times greater than that of those who could not hear the voices of others.
Li Ke followed Bai Zhe silently, and his mood seemed very low.
Yuan Ming walked to Bai Zhe and comforted him: "Bai Zhe, don't be sad. Let's have a drink with you tonight."
Cao Jie nodded and said, "That's right, Chen Yanan is organizing a break-up dinner. We won't go, just my brothers and I will get together."
"And me, and me." Guo Changchun raised his hands and quickly came forward.
Bai Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, thank you everyone. I have something else to do tonight, so you can go ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhe heard two beeps from his cell phone.
He took out his cell phone and took a look. It was a text message from Qin Zhongwei.
"I'll wait for you at home, Qin."
Turning off the phone and putting it in his pocket, Bai Zhe raised his head and said a few words to a few people, then smiled and touched Li Ke's head, and said softly: "I'm fine, be happy, okay?"
"Yeah!" Li Ke nodded obediently.
"You can ask Chen Ping to take you back in a while. Leave me alone. I will go back by myself tomorrow."
"Okay, please be safe."
Although Li Ke was reluctant to give up, she also knew that she could not cause trouble to Bai Zhe at this moment.
After everyone bid him farewell, Bai Zhe turned and walked towards the door.
…
In July, although it is already past five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is still very dazzling. According to the morning weather forecast, today's highest temperature will reach 32 degrees.
After walking a few dozen meters, Bai Zhe felt sticky on his body and sweated a lot on his back, causing his white shirt to stick tightly to his back.
Chen Yanan was sitting in the passenger seat of Luo Fang and clearly saw Bai Zhe's slightly embarrassed back, with a slight teasing smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Drive slowly." Chen Yanan told Luo Fang.
At this time, he was in a very comfortable mood. Although he would not point at Bai Zhe's nose and laugh loudly, it was still necessary to 'care' for Bai Zhe a little.
"Bai Zhe, why don't you take the car? Do you want to give you a ride?"
Lowering the window, Chen Yanan asked Bai Zhe with a smile.
Bai Zhe walked forward without any intention of stopping, and Luo Fang could only keep controlling the speed so that Chen Yanan could say a few more words.
"No, thank you, Minister Chen. I have a long way to go, so I can just take the bus."
"Hey, you can attract an investment of 5 billion, but why don't you even dare to sit in a car? Is it because you are afraid of the Discipline Inspection Commission's investigation? Hehe."
Chen Yanan could still be more reserved, but Luo Fang was very resentful towards Bai Zhe. While driving, she turned her head and teased Bai Zhe sincerely.
Bai Zhe smiled faintly, didn't take it seriously, and continued to walk his own way.
"Look, I scared you so much. Don't worry, we won't report you. Come up here. I'll give you a ride because I feel sorry for you."
This woman directly talked about the report, causing Chen Yanan to cough dryly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mayor Bai is an outstanding party member, how can he feel guilty? I think it is obvious that you can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps?" Then he turned to look at Bai Zhe and asked, "Is that right, Mayor Bai?"
Bai Zhe took out a breath and stopped.
He turned around and looked at Chen Yanan and said: "Chen Yanan, I respect you as the leader of Wenwu County, so I won't argue with you. If you are sensible, you will disappear from my eyes immediately. Otherwise, don't leave."
After saying that, Bai Zhe walked towards the bus stop without looking back.
"Tsk, tsk, you've made others angry." Luo Fang said with a smile.
Chen Yanan watched Bai Zhe leave, raised the car window and said, "Let's go, I'm just a defeated general. It'll be pointless to tease him any more."
Luo Fang obediently accelerated the car and quickly disappeared into the traffic.
This time the opponent was so powerful that Bai Zhe had no other choice but to avoid its edge.
The moment he got on the bus, a hint of coolness hit Bai Zhe's anxious heart.
When Bai Zhe walked into the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee again, he was already familiar with the road. The two guards at the door just glanced at Bai Zhe and without saying a word, they acquiesced to Bai Zhe's free entry and exit.
Standing in front of the door and ringing the doorbell, Mrs. Qin opened the door herself and welcomed Bai Zhe into the house.
Knowing that Bai Zhe would come, Qin Zhongwei specially asked Aunt Zhang to get off work early in order to leave enough room for the three of them to talk.
After Bai Zhe put on his slippers, Mrs. Qin put a clean towel into Bai Zhe's hand and said softly, "You must be exhausted. Go to the bathroom and take a shower. Dinner will be ready soon."
Bai Zhe took the towel, feeling like he was going home, and asked casually: "Auntie, isn't Shuya back?"
"I just left this morning. Shuya is a child who has been strong since she was a child. This is because your Lishui Hotel has just started and there are many things to do, so I didn't keep her."
Bai Zhe sighed and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will go back to take care of Shuya tomorrow. She is now five months old and cannot move around at will. I have to persuade her to pay more attention to rest."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "I'll feel relieved if I leave her to you."
Bai Zhe raised his head and looked around: "Why don't you see my uncle?"
Mrs. Qin took out a new set of pajamas from the house: "Your uncle went out just now and said he would be back in ten minutes. Don't worry about him. Go and wash up."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Bai Zhe took the towel and pajamas and walked towards the bathroom upstairs.
While taking a bath, Bai Zhe thought that Qin Zhongwei might have gone out to chat with Yuan Ming's grandfather, Yuan Fuchun, just to prepare the ground for tonight's conversation.
However, when Bai Zhe thought about it, it was impossible for Qin Zhongwei to reveal the news that he was staying here tonight in advance. It would be most appropriate to wait for the two of them to talk before making a special visit.
It only took ten minutes for Bai Zhe to wash up and walk out in his blue pajamas.
At this time Qin Zhongwei had come back and was sitting on the sofa sipping tea.
"Hello Uncle Qin."
Seeing Bai Zhe coming down, Qin Zhongwei put down his tea cup, turned around and looked at Bai Zhe and said, "Come on, come and sit first."
Bai Zhe sat down opposite Qin Zhongwei. Qin Zhongwei pushed the cigarettes on the table towards Bai Zhe and said, "Smoke if you want. When you come here, you will treat it as your own home."
"Thank you Uncle Qin, I won't smoke."
Qin Zhongwei nodded, looked up at Bai Zhe and said, "Do you know why I asked you to come here tonight?"
Bai Zhe sighed and said, "I know, it's for today's graduation ceremony."
Qin Zhongwei nodded and said, "That's half right."
"But I just want to ask you, are you satisfied with your performance today?"
After saying that, Qin Zhongwei continued to pick up the teacup, blew a few breaths, and sipped it.
Bai Zhe just listened to his voice, but found nothing, so he could only hesitate and said: "I want to say that I am very dissatisfied with today's results, but I need to add that I feel that this result is mixed with sand, and it does not mean that My true strength."
Qin Zhongwei was quite satisfied with Bai Zhe's answer. In fact, he had already thought about it. The difference was ten points, and it was impossible for any ordinary student to be so different. But today, it happened to fall on Bai Zhe's head.
This matter is very intriguing, but it is not the main point of why he called Bai Zhe here today.
"I don't think you need to explain this matter too much, but I want you to be clear. Although I am the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, my power is definitely not omnipotent. Do you understand what I mean?"
[This matter today is not about you, but that you chose the wrong opponent. 】
Bai Zhe nodded with deep understanding: "Uncle Qin, I understand what you mean, but can you tell me who is helping Chen Yanan behind the scenes?"
"No." Qin Zhongwei answered Bai Zhe's question without hesitation.
Then he put down the tea cup, turned around and pointed at the wall of the living room: "Bai Zhe, look at what that is."
Bai Zhe quickly turned his head and looked around. In the corner of the living room, there was a picture hanging, which read: "The best thing is like water, water benefits all things without fighting..."
"This..." Bai Zhe was startled, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
