At this moment, I couldn't help but smile.
I knew that You Meng wouldn't leave me like this. I knew that You Meng would take the initiative to contact me. I knew that You Meng wouldn't ignore me. I knew that You Meng …
Even ten thousand words couldn't describe how happy I was at this moment.
In just one second, I began to think of several ambiguous versions of apology. I thought that if You Meng and I could get back together, I would even … kneel on a washboard in front of her.
For love, for my beloved You Meng, I was willing to risk everything. I didn't care about my dignity as a man. As long as I could find You Meng again, I was willing to do anything!
When the call connected, I excitedly greeted her, "You Meng, is You Meng really you?
You made me wait for a long time. "
Using this sentence as an opening wasn't a wise thing to do.
However, You Meng's voice was unusually cold. She said indifferently, "I'm calling to tell you something."
I said, "What is it? Just say it."
You Meng said coldly, "I'm going to Liaoning for a business trip tomorrow.
Don't call me if you don't have anything important. I won't pick up even if you call. "
Although her words were cold, I could hear the elements of resentment in her tone.
Perhaps she was still holding a grudge over Marisia's arrival. She had been hurt by Marisia's appearance.
I asked with concern, "Why are you going to Liaoning?
Are you going on a business trip with the leader? "
You Meng said, "No, I'm going with Director Qi."
What? Going with Director Qi?
To me, if this was not a bolt from the blue, then what was it?
I asked, "You Meng, are you angry with me because of Marisia? Are you deliberately saying this to make me angry?"
You Meng said domineeringly, "Do you think I'm lying?
Zhao Long, I'm going to Liaoning with Director Qi. Just the two of us … "
My head was buzzing. I quickly interrupted You Meng and asked anxiously, "Why are you going to Liaoning?"
You Meng said, "The Special Guards Bureau's Literature and Art Brigade is preparing to recruit five Literature and Art Recruits in Liaoning. Now, the quota has basically been decided. Director Qi and I are going there mainly to supervise the relevant procedures. At the same time, we will do a comprehensive physical examination …" Speaking up to this point, You Meng suddenly changed the topic. Her words became sharper. "What does what we are going to Liaoning have to do with you? Why should I tell you?
When Marissa went to the guest house to look for you, I didn't know either, did I? "
You Meng De used a few rather imposing parallel questions to express the extreme indignation in his heart towards me.
I said anxiously, "You Meng, what do you want to do? Don't you know that Director Qi has feelings for you?
Why do you want to go on a business trip with him? "
You Meng said angrily, "This girl is happy.
This is already much better than some people. At least this young lady can greet you, unlike some people who secretly go on a date and run into the same room. What happened in between, what happened, what happened, we still don't know! "
I said, "You Meng, don't think too much. At this time, I have to explain to you. Can you give me five minutes?
I will give you a full report of what happened between Marisia and me. "
You Meng clicked her tongue and said, "I'm not your leader. Is it necessary for you to report to me?"
I didn't care about her sarcasm and continued, "It's like this. Yesterday, I didn't know that Marisia was coming … I was playing with the family members outside when Marisia happened to come in. So, I led her to my room. We planned to ask you to come out and have a meal together. After all … who would have thought that you would come back at that time."
You Meng said, "Make it up, keep making it up!
Zhao Long, did you know? Yesterday, when I just came back from your place and returned to the Chief's office, I received a call from Director Qi. Director Qi told me that Marisia went to the guest house to look for you. At first, I didn't believe it, but Director Qi didn't seem to be lying. So, I hurried over. Who would have thought that you … you really did something behind my back … "
Hearing You Meng's words, I suddenly shivered, "What did you say? Director Qi told you?"
You Meng said, "It was him."
I said, "Why don't you think about it? How did Director Qi know that Marisia came to look for me?
Don't you think there's something going on here? "
You Meng said, "Hmph, there are a lot of people in the guest house who want to curry favor with Director Qi. In the army, a lot of people like to climb up the ranks by stepping on other people's shoulders. Someone in the guest house must have reported this to Director Qi."
I hurriedly said, "You Meng, do you know that the reason why Marisia came to see me was because Director Qi was the one who set her up with me? Director Qi was the one who told Marisia that I was staying in the guest house.
Don't you think that it's very likely that this is a trap that Director Qi has carefully designed? "
You Meng said impatiently, "Alright, stop guessing. It's already like this. It's useless to hide it."
I said, "You Meng, I'm not hiding anything.
I'm just telling you the truth. "
You Meng said, "Alright, alright, I still have something to do. I'll hang up first."
With a 'ka' sound, You Meng hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone was hung up, my world continued to darken.
At this time, I no longer resented You Meng for being heartless.
To be exact, I like to think from the other party's point of view. If I think about this matter from You Meng's point of view, I think that she doesn't feel any better than I do. She started to be indifferent to me because she was provoked by Marisia. This is an unusual kind of grief and sadness.
Think about it, how would You Meng feel when she sees me and Marisia in the same room? It would definitely be a heart-wrenching pain. Originally, Marisia and I had some hazy entanglements. Whether it was true or not, the fact that Marisia liked me was undeniable.
But I foolishly allowed Marisia to approach me again and again. How could You Meng not be sad and angry when she saw this?
I feel like You Meng called me today in a fit of pique.
She was jealous of Marisia, so she wanted me to be jealous of Director Qi.
Women are really unpredictable. Even You Meng, who is known as' China's Number One Female Guard ', can't escape the jealousy and suspicion of women.
Did she not think that such a phone call would put her lover in such a sad situation?
I was originally confident, but now because of love, I was in such a sorry state.
Looking at this matter again, I felt that Director Qi was a sinister person.
In order to get You Meng, he really put in a lot of effort.
In fact, the matter couldn't be more obvious.
After Marisia came to China, she became the key person in Director Qi's scheme.
First, he tried to build a good relationship with Marisia and gain Marisia's trust. Then, he deliberately told Marisia my current situation and address and encouraged her to come find me.
Marisia was confused by Director Qi's enthusiasm, so she really went to the Fourth Brigade's guest house.
When she arrived at the guest house, one of the soldiers in the guest house (probably Director Qi's informant) reported this to Director Qi. Director Qi directly called You Meng and told her the story with exaggerated details. After that, You Meng returned to the guest house.
Thus, Director Qi achieved his goal. You Meng was furious because of Marisia's visit, and even started a cold war of love.
Thinking about it this way, the whole thing became very clear.
A leader is a leader, a senior colonel is a senior colonel. His methods were flawless!
And now, I'm just a suspended staff member. What should I do?
Although I knew the difference in strength, a firm belief arose spontaneously in my heart: If I don't take down Director Qi, this black sheep, then I, Zhao Long, am not a human!
…
And the situation was far beyond my expectations.
I thought You Meng called me and said that she went on a business trip with Director Qi to make me angry, but when I called Staff Officer Huang to understand the situation, I realized that it was all true.
You Meng didn't lie to me, she did go on a business trip with Director Qi.
I really felt like the world was turning dark.
Dear You Meng, are you going to follow in Zhao Jie's footsteps and leave me again?
Dear You Meng, are you going to be conquered by Director Qi and forget the hardships of love we had?
Dear You Meng, will you never be able to return to my side?
Painful times, painful torment.
I can only blame myself for paying too much attention to this relationship. When it gradually faded away, what kind of situation did it put me, the infatuated man, in?
In the room, a song continued to deeply intoxicate me.
In the sad rhythm, I experienced the most sorrowful joys and sorrows in the world …
While I was immersed in Black Dragon's sad and resentful song, someone rang the doorbell.
When I opened the door, the person who came was the director of the guest house, Zhou Zhongxin.
Zhou Zhongxin was a second class sergeant, and he was assigned to the position of director of the guest house last year.
In fact, before this, the director of the guest house had always been a first lieutenant officer.
But after the military restructuring, many important positions that were originally held by officers were replaced by sergeants.
Among them, important positions such as the division chief were all changed to sergeants.
It's just that I don't have much interaction with this Zhou Zhongxin. What's his intention for suddenly coming over?
Zhou Zhongxin said a few polite words to me, and I invited him to come in and sit down.
Zhou Zhongxin handed over a cigarette and took one for himself. He lit it and said, "Secretary Zhao, our guest house has a big leader like you. I have always wanted to find time to visit you. Aiya, I was busy, so I didn't find time until today."
I also said politely, "I am very honored to be able to receive Director Zhou's care."
Zhou Zhongxin laughed and said, "Oh right, Secretary Zhao, I heard that you and sister-in-law, I don't know who is older between the two of us, but I don't know if I should call her sister-in-law or not … I heard that you and sister-in-law had a quarrel, is that true?"
I was stunned for a moment, wondering why the director was so concerned about this matter.
But I still told him the truth, "It's not just a quarrel, it can't be salvaged."
I sighed and took a deep drag on the cigarette, letting the nicotine swirl around in my lungs even more violently.
Zhou Zhongxin doubted, "No way, this, this, haven't you always had a good relationship with sister-in-law?
You two work in the same department, you are both talented and beautiful, how could you have a quarrel? "
I said impatiently, "Director Zhou, can we not mention this matter?"
Zhou Zhongxin smiled awkwardly, "Don't mention it, don't mention it.
Secretary Zhao, don't think too much, don't think too much, ah. "
Zhou Zhongxin's question further intensified the grief in my heart and reached a sublimation.
Zhou Zhongxin's expression was a bit strange. He seemed to be quite concerned about the relationship between You Meng and me. When chatting with me, he would always talk about this from time to time.
I had some doubts, Zhou Zhongxin wouldn't have any improper thoughts about You Meng, right?
Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the situation?
Director Zhou stayed in my room for a full hour before leaving.
