Recast youth

Chapter 440 I think there will be more unknowns in the future

Cao Mingyue returned home, sat in the living room and watched TV and sulked. She mainly thought about the rich second generation who helped him and then left. No matter how she thought about it, she felt uncomfortable. Really, she couldn't thank him even if she knocked on his car window. No parking.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a briefcase and a meticulous hairstyle walked in. He had a strong aura of having been in a high position for a long time.

He saw Cao Mingyue turning on the TV but not looking at it, and asked with a smile: "Who made our Miss Mingyue angry? Tell dad and dad will help you."

"there is no one."

Cao Mingyue didn't want to say more.

Cao Zhongjie knew his daughter's personality. Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, he didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the room and then asked, "Where are your mother and your brother? Are they out?"

"I'm going to a cram school." Cao Mingyue replied.

Cao Zhongjie nodded, then looked at Cao Mingyue: "Well, have you eaten at night? No, I'll make you some egg and vegetable noodles. I have to do some errands when I go out. Xiao Wang is waiting in the car."

"Aren't you off work?" Cao Mingyue looked at Cao Zhongjie: "Do you have anything else to deal with? Is the Propaganda Minister so busy?"

"There is no way. The higher the official position, the greater the responsibility."

Cao Zhongjie said to Cao Mingyue with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of things going on in the unit these days."

Cao Mingyue looked into Cao Zhongjie's eyes and asked thoughtfully: "Busy about Dongzhou Daily?"

When Cao Zhongjie heard this, his eyes deepened, and he looked at Cao Mingyue for a while, and then asked, "Have you heard any rumors?"

"No." Cao Mingyue turned around and stared at the TV. She really didn't want to separate the matter between her father and the vixen in the newspaper office. The best thing was to let the vixen retreat from the situation.

Cao Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly while watching TV.

Hearing this, Cao Zhongjie breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the kitchen and said: "I am not busy with the newspaper office. I have been conveying the above propaganda ideas and the route of the cultural front to the subordinate units in the past two days. There are many meetings to be held, and As the Propaganda Minister, I should also pay attention to the Dongzhou City Amateur Basketball Competition organized by the Municipal Sports Bureau."

"That's right." Cao Zhongjie turned around and said: "In a few days, Jay Chou's concert will also be held. Don't you young people like Jay Chou the most? Do you want a ticket? Dad will ask someone to get you a ticket at the front. .”

Cao Mingyue was thinking about how to get the vixen from Dongzhou Daily to back off when she saw the difficulties, and she replied perfunctorily: "Whatever."

When he was in the work unit, no one dared to speak loudly in front of Cao Zhongjie, but Cao Mingyue's daughter was his nemesis. She had loved her since she was a child and couldn't lose her temper at all. If his son spoke to him in this tone, he would have been punished to kneel down. There it is.

Cao Zhongjie still smiled and asked Cao Mingyue: "Egg and vegetable noodles, do you want fried eggs or poached eggs?"

Cao Mingyue was not in the mood to eat: "No, go ahead and do your work. I'll order instant noodles later."

"Instant noodles are not nutritious." Cao Zhongjie said.

Cao Mingyue said irritably: "I told you I would eat instant noodles."

"Okay, okay, you eat instant noodles."

Cao Zhongjie had nothing to do with Cao Mingyue, so he had to let her go, and then went downstairs. The driver Xiao Wang in the parking space downstairs was sitting in an Audi A6 waiting. When he saw Minister Cao Zhongjie coming down, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Cao Zhongjie.

Cao Zhongjie got into the car, his face no longer gentle, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The Audi A6 started, moved forward slowly, and drove out of the community. The license plate of the municipal government unit was unobstructed. It drove into a building in an old community and then stopped.

After the driver, Xiao Wang, stopped the car, he got out and opened the door for Cao Zhongjie.

After Cao Zhongjie got off the car, he said to Xiao Wang: "Come back to pick me up in two hours."

"Ok."

Xiao Wang nodded. After Minister Cao left, he was not in a hurry to get in the car. He leaned against the car door and took out a cigarette to smoke. The one he smoked was Soft China, which was not ordinary good. After finishing a cigarette, he got into the car. After checking the time, he drove out of the community and found an inconspicuous place to park.

...Xin Xiaowan is packing her luggage at home. On the coffee table in the living room are various certificates for her work at Dongzhou Daily. She has a lot of clothes, which can’t fit in one box. She is so precious that she can finally zip up the suitcase. superior.

A head of sweat.

Xin Xiaowan glanced at the bulging suitcase, then sat on the sofa and looked at the documents on the coffee table in a daze. In her seven years of youth, she had replaced these documents on the coffee table.

And now I don’t want any of them anymore.

Xin Xiaowan smiled mockingly to herself. She didn't know what the meaning of her seven years of hard work was. Was she just the invisible person behind others for seven years?

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Xin Xiaowan put on her slippers and went to open the door. It was Cao Zhongjie, the director of the Propaganda Department whom she had followed for seven years. Cao Zhongjie, no, seven years ago, he was the deputy director of the Organization Department.

Then I watched from behind as he went from deputy director of the Organization Department to senior official of the High-tech Zone, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, and then director of propaganda.

He keeps getting promoted.

But he had to start over from scratch.

Xin Xiaowan gave way and closed the door after Cao Zhongjie entered.

Cao Zhongjie glanced at the packed room, then at the suitcase in the living room, and finally his eyes fell on Xin Xiaowan's sweat-stained face, and he frowned: "Are you really going abroad?"

Xin Xiaowan nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

Cao Zhongjie didn't sit down. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a puff of the cigarette and said in a deep voice: "I talked to the leader of your unit on the phone. In two months at most, the deputy editor-in-chief of your unit will retire, and you will be promoted soon." Deputy editor-in-chief, do you know what it means to be the deputy editor-in-chief of Dongzhou Daily? It won’t be a big problem to propose you to be a deputy to the Dongzhou City People’s Congress in a few years. Don’t you feel it’s a pity to leave now?”

"I've thought about it."

Xin Xiaowan picked up her work ID on the coffee table, raised her head and looked at Cao Zhongjie: "I don't want any of these."

"I don't want the position of deputy editor-in-chief of Dongzhou Daily. Can you tell me why?"

Cao Zhongjie looked at the woman in front of him who had been with him for seven years, and slowly said: "Do you feel lonely being the woman behind me?"

Xin Xiaowan's mind flashed to the scene at the door of Zeus Bar. Ye Feng kicked her away and then pulled her into the car. The rear window of the car was smashed.

Then she retracted her emotions and said to Cao Zhongjie: "It's not the reason. If I feel lonely, I won't leave Dongzhou City even if I resign. It's because I suddenly get tired of this kind of job where I can see myself from the age of 30 to the age of 50." .”

"I'm almost 30 now, and I'm not young anymore." Xin Xiaowan took a deep breath and looked at Cao Zhongjie: "I want my future to have more possibilities and unknowns, so I want to go abroad. I will be at work in the next two days. Hand over resignation procedures.”

Cao Zhongjie's eyes flashed, and many thoughts flashed through him in an instant. They all turned into calm. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and stretched out his toes to stamp it out.

"Okay, have a good time together, and wish you good luck in studying abroad." Cao Zhongjie said to Xin Xiaowan.

"Thank you."

Xin Xiaowan thanked her, then took out the Volkswagen cc car key: "I'll give this car back to you."

"Keep it for yourself. You have been with me for seven years. The deputy editor-in-chief doesn't want it anymore. Just keep the car. If it doesn't work, you can sell it."

Cao Zhongjie didn't collect the keys. He sat down and chatted with Xin Xiaowan for a while. After he was sure that Xin Xiaowan was over her heart, he said nothing more and called the driver Xiao Wang. After the phone rang again, he didn't answer it and got up to leave.

After going downstairs, driver Xiao Wang was already waiting in his Audi A6.

Cao Zhongjie got into the car, sat in the back, and pinched his eyebrows: "Let's go, take me home."
