Chapter 893 The Acting Director Is Gone
Coming out of He Yaozu's office, Luo Yao breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was a little disappointed not to be the acting director.
In fact, it doesn't matter. He knows his shortcomings and being able to be where he is today is no longer something ordinary people can achieve.
There is no need to travel long to Shu.
However, he was not without gains. He recommended Huo Tian as deputy director in front of He Yaozu. It would be a pity not to mention such a good opportunity.
He didn't have much confidence in Mao Zongxiang's ability to keep his promise. Mao Zongxiang was only appointed as acting director, mainly because the superiors still seemed to have a glimmer of hope for Wen Yuqing, hoping that he could change his mind and return to the mountain city.
However, Luo Yao knew very well that, let alone Wen Yuqing himself, his family might not come back again.
After all, the acting director is not the full director.
If Mao Zongxiang used this "excuse" to cheat and shut himself up, there was nothing he could do.
Luo Yao called Huo Tian and told him about Mao Zongxiang's appointment as "acting director".
At the same time, he also called Wang Weijun and asked him to cooperate with Mao Zongxiang's work.
Originally, he wanted to hand over the secretarial office directly to Wang Weijun, but now it seems that he cannot lose his part-time job as the chief secretary of the secretarial office.
This was also a means to check and balance Mao Zongxiang.
…
Zhou Ran stewed some nourishing soup, made some food, and went to the hospital early in the morning to visit Yan Feng and Hu Xiaoling.
Yan Feng recovered quickly. After all, he was young and received the best medical care. In addition, he regained his freedom and reunited with his wife and daughter.
Except for missing his lost son, everything seemed to be getting better.
Hu Xiaoling's illness is different. She has been ill for some days and has not received good treatment. Although she is out of danger now, her body is still very weak.
Even though he is awake now, it is still not very convenient for him to move around. He needs help to get in and out of bed.
Moreover, this disease consumes a lot of vitality, which needs to be replenished slowly.
He said some comforting words, of course the topic of "Luo Yao" was indispensable. Zhou Ran didn't know much about Luo Yao's situation. He only knew that he was an "anti-Japanese hero", which he could say in front of the chief of the mountain city police station. From the above words, it is obvious that his status is not low and he is very powerful.
Also, Yan Feng and Hu Xiaoling were shocked when they heard that Luo Yao had a daughter.
Yan Feng and Luo Yao were brothers who slept together, and they should be the people who knew him best. Based on Luo Nan's age, Luo Yao had a child when he was in school.
This is not unusual. In this era, it is very common for men to get married at the age of eighteen and for women to have children at the age of sixteen.
When talking about Luo Yao, Gong Hui was naturally mentioned. As a woman's intuition, Zhou Ran naturally felt that the relationship between Gong Hui and Luo Yao was unusual.
Although Luo Yao explained that Gong Hui was his partner, a lot of things can be seen in a woman's eyes when she looks at a man.
There are different things in the eyes of a man you like and a man you don't like or don't want to have sex with.
This is a feeling that cannot be explained clearly in words.
Hu Xiaoling has never met Gong Hui, so it's hard to judge. Yan Feng has met him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. However, he can also notice that Gong Hui and Luo Yao are not just obedient to Luo Yao, but also that kind of maintenance.
It definitely comes from within.
But if you ask him to say what the relationship is, he can't tell. After all, this matter needs to be viewed rationally and objectively.
This is a person's private life, so don't pay too much attention to it.
"There is a lot of commotion outside because of Yan Feng's incident. Everyone is expressing dissatisfaction and protesting to the authorities because Yan Feng was innocently arrested, framed, and tortured. Yan Feng, you have become a celebrity." Zhou Ran said to Yan Feng.
"ah?"
"Don't worry, no one knows about your hospitalization here. Luo Yao should have told you not to accept interviews randomly, right?"
"Yeah." Yan Feng nodded.
"He did the right thing. If you say the wrong thing now, it will cause an uproar to the outside world, but you must not talk nonsense." Zhou Ran also reminded, "Don't worry, I can help you deliver the relevant news. Luo Yao has not Forbidding me to visit you shows that he still has a conscience."
"I know. I don't ask for anything else right now. I just want our family of four to be safe and sound." Yan Feng said.
"It's good if you think so. When this matter is over, you can return to a peaceful life." Zhou Ran nodded, "No more, I have to go. Luo Yao also made an appointment with me to talk about something. .”
…
"Zhou Ran!"
"Jiang Lin..." Zhou Ran turned around and saw a familiar face, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Sure enough, it's you, I finally caught it." Jiang Lin ran over excitedly and hugged Zhou Ran, "Why did you come to the hospital? I didn't hear that you were sick. Could it be that Yan Feng and his wife were in this hospital?" ?”
"Are you following me?" Zhou Ran's expression suddenly changed.
"No, I went to see you early in the morning to talk to you about the next check-in. Others don't know about your relationship with Yan Feng. This is my exclusive secret!" Jiang Lin said.
"Jiang Lin, you know, I regret telling you those things now. It's causing trouble all over the city. God knows how much trouble it will cause!" Zhou Ran said, stroking his forehead in pain.
"Even if you don't tell me about such a big matter, someone will expose it sooner or later. Don't worry, if you give me the news, I won't betray you," Jiang Lin said.
"I'm afraid not necessarily."
"I really didn't tell anyone. Even when our president asked me who the news came from, I didn't say anything." Jiang Lin said, "I know, this matter doesn't matter to me. Anyway, that's what I do. You are different in this line of work. If you are targeted by those people, you will be in endless trouble. How can I harm you?"
It is believable that if Jiang Lin really leaked the information about Yan Feng's case, she would have been visited by "reporters" by now, and there might be spies among them.
At that time, she was so excited that she told Jiang Lin about Yan Feng. She wanted Jiang Lin to use newspaper public opinion to expose the matter and exert strong public pressure on these lawless agents to help Yan Feng. The family seeks justice.
But now public opinion has risen, but things have become more serious. Once Yan Feng's case came out, it was like lighting a powder keg, causing all walks of life in the mountain city to act perversely against the agents of the two unifications. They framed the case for their own selfish desires, and even acted perversely. There was even a moment of dissatisfaction with the authoritarian rule of the authorities.
All the newspapers and periodicals began to criticize the "secret service" ruthlessly, verbally and in writing, and they were determined not to stop until the "two unifications" were abolished.
This is not a good thing, at least not for Zhou Ran.
"Okay, I still have something to do, so don't follow me anymore." Zhou Ran was going to Luo Yao's date and couldn't bring Jiang Lin with him.
"Are you going back to school? You just gave me a lift and I happened to give back to the club?" Jiang Lin said.
"I'm not going back to school." Zhou Ran opened the car door and got in. Just as he was about to start the car and leave, Jiang Lin got in.
"Anyway, I'm fine. Wherever you go, I'll go." Jiang Lin said.
"Miss Jiang, I really have something to do. Can you call a rickshaw and go back by yourself?" Zhou Ran said patiently.
"Dating, didn't you tell me that Mr. Guo just broke up and has a new target so soon?" Jiang Lin asked in a very gossipy manner.
"It's not a date, it's just to do errands."
"Then you take me with you when you do things. Maybe I can help you with some advice?"
"Jiang Lin, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Do you want to get out of the car? If not, I will." Zhou Ran was about to pull the door open.
"No, I'll get off the car, why not!" Seeing that Zhou Ran was really angry, Jiang Lin said quickly.
Seeing Jiang Lin get out of the car, Zhou Ran started the car and left.
What she didn't expect was that Jiang Lin then got into a nearby rickshaw, ordered the driver, and chased Zhou Ran's car.
…
In front of the Twilight Building, Zhou Ran parked her car on the side of the road. She had been delayed for a few minutes at the entrance of the hospital. In addition, the road was snowy and slippery, so she did not dare to drive too fast.
By the time we arrived at our destination, it was almost ten minutes later than the agreed time.
She hurried towards the Twilight Cafe.
Without noticing, a rickshaw followed behind and stopped on the opposite side of the road. A woman wearing a headscarf got out of the car.
He raised his head and glanced at the Twilight Building, with a hint of complexity and cowardice in his eyes.
This place seemed to have left an unpleasant memory for her, or in other words, she had unspeakably complicated emotions about it.
After hesitating for a moment, she paid the fare and walked over.
For today's meeting, Xin Xiaowu arranged a small independent room for Luo Yao. He did not want anyone to know about his meeting with Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran was probably the source who leaked the news to the newspaper, so he would naturally have to take corresponding protective measures.
"Is it Miss Zhou Ran?"
As soon as Zhou Ran entered the Twilight Cafe, he was recognized by Xin Xiaowu, who had been waiting for a long time, and came forward to ask.
"yes."
"Mr. Luo's instructions, you just come with me." Xin Xiaowu nodded slightly.
"Who are you?" Zhou Ran hesitated. After all, she had never been here before and didn't know Xin Xiaowu, so she was a little wary of strangers.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhou Ran. The property here belongs to Mr. Luo Yao. I am Mr. Luo's subordinate. I arranged to meet here for confidentiality and safety." Xin Xiaowu explained, "Miss Hui should have mentioned it to you. of."
Zhou Ran nodded, and then confirmed Xin Xiaowu's identity, followed him through the hall and walked inside.
"Mr. Luo is in the VIP box. This is a place specially provided for guests to meet privately." Xin Xiaowu entered Zhou Ran and went to VIP box No. 1 and said, "You can go in by yourself and I won't disturb you."
Xin Xiaowu turned around and left.
Zhou Ran calmed down at this time and reached out to knock on the door.
"Please come in!" A familiar voice came from inside the door. Zhou Ran opened the door without hesitation and walked in.
