Chapter 84: An Jingzhi is on the Move
Chapter 84
After listening, Liu Jun sneered and his posture became casual, "Miss Xia, don't worry. Looking at the Lin Family's matter alone, Gao Meiyun only needs to make up her mind to divorce Lin Hao, then this matter would not really hurt her. However, the Lin Family is also quite unlucky. It is self-inflicted for Lin Hao to have an affair with Huang Cui and even secretly had a child with her..."
Liu Jun felt it was increasingly funny and could not help smiling. "The things I found at Huang Cui's place were enough to ruin Huang Cui and Lin Hao completely. See, Miss Xia, recently many people around here are wearing red armbands. Lin Hao is now implicated with the enemy spies, and has passed on quite some messages before. He now cannot clear himself of the stains even if he jumps into the Yellow River. He is now associated with the enemy spies. Once involved in this matter, she cannot separate herself even if she wants to, unless someone helps her, at best she still has to go to the farms and be guarded. "
This is different from educated youths. Educated youths were at least free and honorable.
But with this step Gao Meiyun took, not only was she unable to stay in the city, she also smeared herself with shit. Now leaving the city she could not go to a good place either. Her reputation and treatment would not improve.
"Thank you Brother Liu for telling me these. Anyway I don't understand. As long as she won't come to bully me I'll just feel assured. Brother Liu must be busy, I'll go back first." Xia Zhia smiled and really could not feel assured.
After separating from Liu Jun, she went to find Liang Zhiwei at the Ideological Committee.
Liang Zhiwei had been busy these days and did not even have time to go home. Knowing that Xia Zhia came looking for him, he was not happy at all.
"You came at this time. It must be about work, right?" Liang Zhiwei did not intend to chit chat and said, "Lin Zheng got into trouble. The restaurant closed these few days because we have not found a suitable chef yet. After the higher ups make an appointment in a few days we'll open for business. Don't worry, just stay home safely these few days and wait for notice."
Xia Zhia did not know the restaurant had closed. But after hearing what Liang Zhiwei said, she understood.
"Chief Liang misunderstood. I did not come because of my own work, but to..." Xia Zhia smiled and lowered her voice, "bring Chief Liang money."
Liang Zhiwei's expression instantly became cautious as he looked warily at Xia Zhia. "Comrade An, we can eat carelessly but cannot speak carelessly. What do you take me, Liang Zhiwei, as? And what do you take our Ideological Committee as? This is a proper organization."
It was because she did not find the right opportunity. Usually there were gifts to give but these few days, probably no one dared to receive them.
The whole city was vigilant against the enemy spies. At this point, the slightest mistake would be fatal. Who would dare make a mistake at such a critical moment?
"Chief Liang must have misunderstood. What I mean is, as you know, although our An family has published in the news to sever ties with Gao Meiyun, after all my parents had raised her for so many years. She got implicated in this incident for no reason, it was quite a big blow to our family." Xia Zhia helplessly said, "Also because it has been chaotic recently, my family is worried about me going out to work. So I came to tell Chief Liang that I cannot work anymore, and can only let you down."
"These are all small matters, it's nothing, don't mention it." To Liang Zhiwei, Xia Zhia's unwillingness to work just happened to free up a spot. He could think of ways to fish some benefits.
Moreover, he had just given Xia Zhia money last time, and had put in quite some effort to arrange work for her. Adding to that was his wife's expensive medical treatment and medication, he was not well off now.
"Let's do this. After all it was a job, it's a pity to give it up. I'll arrange for you and find someone to buy the job. In a couple of days after the restaurant opens, just go and cooperate to handle the procedures."
"There is another thing I hope Chief Liang can help with." Xia Zhia said.
Liang Zhiwei was still calculating how much money he could fish from reselling the job. He was in a good mood. "Tell me."
"I don't need the money from selling the job. I can cooperate to handle the procedures. I only want...to make it so Gao Meiyun has no chance of turning over a new leaf."
As Xia Zhia's voice fell, her fair little hand held a ginseng on the table. "This should be my last time looking for Chief Liang. Thank you for taking care of me all this while. Consider this my gift to thank you. Also please thank Teacher Zhao for helping me a lot."
Xia Zhia knew Liang Zhiwei would definitely be moved.
Zhao Jingyun's illness was an expensive and precious one that could only be maintained through long-term medication and could not get angry or tired.
And Liang Zhiwei, just a small director, could not support this expensive wife without relying on other income sources.
People are sometimes hard to tell if they are evil or good.
Liang Zhiwei directed all his malice at others, and was even cruel enough to make Older Zhao suffer so tragically. Yet he directed his only kindness at his wife, not abandoning her despite her being a huge burden.
In the previous life, right until Zhao Jingyun's oil dried up and her lamp went out, Liang Zhiwei also turned white-haired overnight, unable to find a goal to strive for anymore.
Older Zhao said before he died that he had nothing left to miss except for his silly daughter.
Xia Zhia had originally wanted Liang Zhiwei to get involved with the Lin Family, but decided it was too rushed to make a move right away, and did not manage to move Liang Zhiwei in.
But it was also good to spare his life, and let him dedicate the rest of his life to taking good care of Zhao Jingyun. That would fulfill Older Zhao's wishes. This was what Liang Zhiwei owed the Zhao family, what he owed Older Zhao, and also what he owed Zhao Jingyun.
Having obtained Liang Zhiwei's guarantee, Xia Zhia left satisfied.
She had thought this matter was absolutely foolproof, but the next day, Liang Zhiwei came looking for her.
Xia Zhia was watering the flowers in the yard. A child ran in from outside and told her someone surnamed Liang was looking for her. Xia Zhia knew it must be because something had changed with what Liang Zhiwei agreed to do yesterday.
When she went out, she immediately saw Liang Zhiwei standing not far away pushing his bicycle.
She walked over and calmly asked, "Chief Liang, why are you here?"
"I came to tell you, I didn't say I wouldn't help you with what I promised yesterday. I had originally planned to convict Gao Meiyun together with Lin Hao. But your father went to see Gao Meiyun yesterday and helped process the divorce between Gao Meiyun and Lin Hao. If no one asked about her I could still convict her, but since someone is asking about her matters, if I forcibly convict her I can't get rid of ties myself either. Do you understand?" Liang Zhiwei had after all obtained benefits from Xia Zhia, but the matter was not handled. He was anxious too, otherwise he would not have specially made a trip here to explain.
Xia Zhia smiled stiffly. "I see. Chief Liang must preserve himself first of course. Gao Meiyun naturally cannot compare with you."
Only then did Liang Zhiwei's expression look better. He sighed and said, "But rest assured, I won't take your things for nothing. Although I can't take her life, I can still find her a good place to go. The great northwest deserts have been mobilizing people to go plant trees these few years. Even men cannot take it when they go there. If she is unlucky or her mind is not firm, she might not be able to come back either. Anyway she won't be able to trouble you in front of you again for a very long time."
To ask him to spit out something he already obtained in his mouth was like taking his life. Moreover, the ginseng was beneficial for his wife's illness. Liang Zhiwei tried his utmost and could only do this much.
"Chief Liang can decide." Xia Zhia glanced at the package in his hand and said, "My grandparents are still waiting for me at home. I'll go back first."
Liang Zhiwei knew she had agreed. He nodded, stepped on the pedal, and rode away on his bicycle.
