Chapter 234 Life is not easy
“What’s wrong with Wang Guifen?”
Listening to Niu Twelve’s hesitant words, Xu Boan immediately asked.
Niu Twelve said with a strange expression: "People in the village said that Sister Guifen was unlucky, so they... locked her up."
"What? What happened? It’s the same thing! Tell me clearly.”
Niu Twelve talked for a while before he explained the cause and effect of this matter clearly.
It turns out that the crops in Hongya Village have been out of harvest for a long time due to drought.
Although the recent rainfall did not fall in Hongya Village, it had little effect.
This is not only the case in Hongya Village, but also in several villages around Xishan Town.
After people investigated, they found that there is a clear separation between the rainwater and Hongya Village. The direction of Hongya Village close to Xishan Town has little or even no precipitation.
However, the villages on the opposite side suffered from heavy rainfall and even flooded into rivers.
This huge difference in polarization makes many people think that this matter has something to do with gods and ghosts.
Of course, according to the explanation of modern science, it is normal for the sky to be different on different days.
Xu Bo'an once saw heavy rain pouring on the opposite side of a river, but drizzle on the river bank here.
I have even seen the sun shining brightly at the end of the tunnel, but after exiting the tunnel it is already winter and covered with snow.
But these people in Xishan Town didn’t believe it. Once a group of squires with a lot of say had made calculations, they invited a Feng Shui master as usual. After a calculation, they immediately calculated the red cliff at the critical point of heavy rain and light rain. The village is the crux of this matter.
After some further speculation and nonsense, Mr. Feng Shui revealed that Wang Guifen, who came back from a foreign country to instigate relatives, friends and neighbors to move, was the key reason for annoying the gods.
"Encouraging the exodus of people who are governed by the gods' territorial management will be a great disaster." These were the original words of the Feng Shui master.
As a result, Wang Guifen's family was controlled, and Wang Guifen was locked in the cellar.
And according to local rules, we must find a good and auspicious day to soak Wang Guifen in water to calm the anger of the gods.
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he was immediately angry.
Wang Guifen is one of his own under his own care, and Xu Bo'an is a protective person. Xu Bo'an can't bear the misfortune of his own little person, and he suffers when he still adheres to his own will to do things.
Xu Boan really wants to go out, rescue Wang Guifen, and deal with this gang of people.
However, the roof of the Tuishan Temple in Hongya Village is safe. Xu Boan tried several times but was unable to break through and have a bird's eye view of the whole place like Shanyang City.
“When do they call auspicious days?” Xu Boan asked Niu Twelve in a cold tone.
Niu Twelve kowtowed before saying: "It seems to be three days later. One day has passed. I will ask for the specific time later."
Xu Bo'an said: "No need. Come on! Niu Twelve, I have something I need you to do. Once it’s done, I’ll give you a big reward.” ." Niu Twelve said respectfully.
Xu Bo'an did not chat with Niu Twelve, and immediately ordered: "Find a way to invite that so-called Feng Shui Mr. to my place. I want to see what he is capable of and dare to be such a lowly creature!"
Niu Twelve gritted his teeth and said: "Since Grandpa Mountain God has spoken, I will tie him here even if I tie him!"
When Xu Boan saw Niu Twelve on the road, he drew a big cake with satisfaction and said: "After the matter is completed, you can all come to me with Wang Guifen, and I will ensure that you will not have to worry about eating and drinking."
Hearing from the Mountain God Niu Twelve was very excited about grandpa's promise. When he told his father and his uncles and co-workers, everyone kowtowed in thanks.
Niu Twelve and others discussed it on the spot and made some preparations tomorrow night. They would take action tomorrow night and tie up the Feng Shui master.
......
Because he was worried about Liu Dongwen's affairs in the real world and Wang Guifen's affairs in the bonsai world, Xu Boyan felt a little confused and did not open the tea research that Ling Feng had brought back. , just put it in the trunk of the car.
After returning home at night, Xu Boan also slept very late.
It wasn’t until two or three in the morning that I fell asleep.
However, this does not affect Xu Boan who has strengthened his body at all.
Early on the next morning, Xu Boan arrived at Dongjiang Second Building on time.
As soon as Xu Boan's car entered the unit and stopped, Liu Quan hurriedly came up to him. After getting out of the car door, he did not leave. Instead, he followed Xu Boan all the way and walked away without saying a word. With.
Xu Bo'an saw that Liu Quan had something to do, and then asked: "Is there something?"
Liu Quan nodded, looked around, and then said softly: "Mr. Xu, I heard about it. Where is the group?" Bian has already investigated and found out that Liu Dongwen did have some involvement in He Qiang's affairs before, and he seemed to have received some benefits from others."
"It seems?" Xu Bo'an frowned and looked at Liu Quan. .
Liu Quan sighed and said: "I don't have a particularly strong relationship. I can't say much. That's what the other party said."
Xu Bo'an exhaled heavily and said: "What Liu Dongwen did before will be decided by his own group company. Let's not spread these rumors."
Liu Quan reminded softly: "I heard that the group has not yet made a final decision. Do you want to focus on it?" To promote Liu Dongwen’s life-saving deeds, and probably because of this incident, the memorial service held at Liu Dongwen’s home has not yet been heard of by any group leader who has made plans to go there.”
Liu Dongwen. Although the head of the archives office has no real power, he is still one of the leaders of the second-level departments of the group. According to the usual practice, members of the group team must come to pay tribute.
Xu Bo'an pursed his lips slightly and said: "I saw Liu Dongwen sacrificing himself to save others with my own eyes. Hundreds of young and old men saw it with my own eyes at that time. I don't think it matters. No matter what, this is an ironclad fact. As far as the matter is concerned, I can't turn a blind eye to this matter. You have prepared the wreath I want you to prepare."
Liu Quan nodded and said: "Ready. But Mr. Xu..."
Xu Bo'an interrupted Liu Quan in a rare moment, and said in a more serious tone: "It's nothing, I just represent my own personal opinion, and it has nothing to do with the company or anyone else. , it’s up to you whether Liu Quan goes or not.”
Liu Quan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Mr. Xu, that's not what I meant. I was promoted by you. Whatever you do, I will definitely support and follow you. I'm just worried that you will be implicated in this matter." "
Xu Bo'an patted Liu Quan on the shoulder and said: "It is impossible for a person to have everything go as he wishes, as long as he has a clear conscience. In short, in my opinion, Liu Dongwen is doing a lot of right and wrong. There's nothing wrong with him, that's enough. I have to send him off for the last time."
Liu Quan nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Xu, I'll contact the pickup truck to pull the wreaths." ”
Liu Dongwen is a native of Dongjiang. In addition to the fund-raising house built in Dongjiang II in the early years, his home also has a large yard on the outskirts of the city.
At this moment, Liu Dongwen’s family was filled with solemnity and bursts of sadness and joy.
The yard was a little deserted. Except for some helpful relatives who were doing various tasks in mourning, there were only a few friends here and there to express their condolences.
Liu Quan drove and accompanied Xu Boan.
The pickup truck pulling the wreaths came over and put down the wreaths, and then left.
As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Boan saw two familiar people, who seemed to be employees of the company. But seeing Xu Bo'an appear, the two of them seemed a little reluctant to let people know that they were coming, and immediately turned aside calmly.
However, Liu Quan happened to know him, and he immediately whispered in Xu Boan's ear: "Mr. Xu, the two people over there are the director of the general department of the project below, and the other is the director of the safety and quality department of the project. They used to follow Liu Dongwen and Liu In general."
Xu Bo'an nodded slightly, feeling relieved.
Before the group company made a formal decision on matters related to Liu Dongwen, these people seemed to be a little worried when they appeared here.
After all, no one knows how serious Liu Dongwen's problem is. If what happens here is taken advantage of by someone with intentions, it may have an impact on him.
So it is understandable that these people can dodge like this. Xu Boan understands it.
Liu Dongwen’s wife Qin Sumei, who was kneeling in the mourning hall, was also an employee of Dongjiang Second Construction Company. Although she had retired long ago, she still appeared at Dongjiang Second Construction Company from time to time, either looking for Liu Dongwen or going to the apartment to rest and relax. Xu Boan is no stranger to having a meal or something.
After not seeing her for a few days, Qin Sumei has aged a lot, her eyes are red, her face is stained with tears, and her eyes are swollen from crying.
Liu Dongwen's death brought huge pressure to Qin Sumei.
She originally came from a well-off family with a good family.
Xu Bo'an took Liu Quan to Liu Dongwen's memorial shed and stopped for a moment, bowed three times, and then walked aside to leave a message for the bookkeeper. Two thousand dollars.
Mr. Accountant asked Xu Bo'an's name in a low voice, and Xu Bo'an immediately replied: "Xu Bo'an. Maybe Xu, uncle's uncle, safe Ann."
Hearing Xu Bo'an's voice, Qin Sumei was kneeling not far away. Suddenly his eyes widened a bit, then he wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and walked over.
Qin Sumei looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Mr. Xu! You are Mr. Xu of Dongjiang No. 2 Construction!"
Xu Bo'an knew Qin Sumei, but Qin Sumei did not know Xu Bo'an.
Without it, people would never have looked at Xu Boan before.
There are so many people in the Dongjiang Second Construction Agency compound, and it is impossible for Qin Sumei to recognize everyone.
However, Xu Boan is now the actual helmsman of Dongjiang Second Construction, and Qin Sumei still knows this news.
Xu Bo'an nodded and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, my condolences."
Qin Sumei wiped the corners of her eyes again and said: "Mr. Xu, I just want to ask you a question. Can you do that? "
Xu Bo'an nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, tell me, I'm listening."
Qin Sumei said: "Mr. Xu, they all say that there is something wrong with our old Liu, but I don't believe it. Old Liu and I are both children from poor families. We can struggle step by step to gain a foothold in the city. We are already very satisfied. Although I am People love to take advantage of others, and occasionally there are problems with private use of public cars, but I can guarantee that our old Liu has absolutely no principled mistakes. Our old Liu can never just leave and still be slandered by others, right? . ”
Xu Boan was a little embarrassed about the answer to this question.
After all, Xu Bo'an didn't know whether Liu Dongwen had any problems, so he had no right to speak.
Seemingly seeing Xu Bo'an's dilemma, Liu Quan hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, the group company will definitely find out about this matter. I hope you don't get excited and take care of yourself."
This Although the words were full of comfort, it was obvious that they were completely nonsense.
Looking at Qin Sumei's disappointed look, Xu Boan gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Liu is my old leader. I am honored to accompany him through the last moments of his life and witness his great heroic feats. , and it was also very shocking. Everyone on the day saw it, Mr. Liu is a well-deserved hero.”
Qin Sumei’s eyes seemed to radiate some light.
In her eyes, Xu Boan is not only himself, but also represents the attitude of Dongjiang Second Construction and even the Construction Engineering Group.
Xu Bo'an's words were undoubtedly like a shot of cardiotonic injected into Qin Sumei's body.
“Our old Liu is a hero, he is a hero.”
Qin Sumei covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
Xu Bo'an and Liu Quan didn't stay here long. After smoothing the elegiac couplets on the wreath, they left.
On the way back to the car, Xu Boan said nothing, feeling extremely complicated.
He could not forget Liu Dongwen's heroic feat of returning home without hesitation that day, nor could he forget the deserted mourning hall of the Liu family and Qin Sumei's red and swollen eyes.
Before this, Xu Bo'an disliked Liu Dongwen very much. He felt that this person was a grassroots person with a personality that could be overturned by the wind, and he was also a smiling tiger with a hidden knife in his smile.
Now that I think about it, if Liu Dongwen, who is helpless, wants to gain a foothold in the company, it seems that he can only be stable by hugging the thigh of He Qiang, the company's top leader.
In any company, the authority of the top leader is absolute and cannot be disobeyed. Xu Bo'an's downfall is the best example.
If you think about it this way, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Liu Dongwen did.
Because of this impression, Xu Boan would never believe that Liu Dongwen could achieve such a feat.
But after he saw with his own eyes what Liu Dongwen did without hesitation on that day of life and death, tears filled his eyes.
Even if it's just a moment of enthusiasm, it's enough to make people admire you!
Xu Boan even felt that if it were him, he might not be able to make such a great choice when he was not sure that he had the ability to withstand danger.
Even diving to save people may not mean going back.
However, Xu Bo'an clearly remembers that on that day, Liu Dongwen even jumped into the rolling yellow flood one step ahead of Xu Bo'an, performing a great feat with an old man in his fifties.
Xu Bo'an didn't speak, and Liu Quan didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of breaking the oppressive atmosphere.
People all think that it is easy to cling to powerful people, they all think that it is easy to lead the famous person in front of them, and they all think that flattering is easy.
As everyone knows, that is also very difficult.
While your wife and children are at home, these people are waiting for the call of the leader at any time.
When you shut down your computer and play games after work, these people are always following the leader to face unknown challenges.
Life is not easy!
Everyone has their own way of life.
When Liu Quan was sighing in his heart for the path he had chosen, Xu Boan suddenly spoke.
“Go to the group headquarters.” Xu Boan said softly.
Liu Quan immediately changed direction and drove towards the headquarters compound of the Construction Engineering Group.
