After confirming with Deputy Secretary Zhou Tiande that she would officially start work at the Secretariat on Monday, July 24th, Yang Dunning invited Asha to lunch as a thank you for her help today, but was rejected by Asha with a smile, saying she wanted to go home for dinner, otherwise her family would worry.
Yang Dunning smiled and let it go, not forcing the issue. If Ah Sha really went out to dinner with a newcomer, it wouldn't be good for either of them.
Go invite Lei Xiaobo to dinner again, Lei Xiaobo actually wanted to go, but today at noon he had to accompany his daughter for her birthday, so it was not possible. Yang Dunning had to take the prepared gift downstairs and put it in the security room, letting the security guard hand it over to him when Lei Xiaobo got off work.
Yang Dunning doesn't know and doesn't want to know how many people will see him driving over, even if he knows, what can it represent? It's just a joke, Yang Dunning is not short of money, although he wants to keep a low profile, but if he really can't keep a low profile, then just follow his heart.
Because he had just arrived and reported for duty, and hadn't been assigned a place to live yet, and didn't want to go back to the old man's place to live, Yang Dunning opened a room at the best hot spring hotel in Moon City.
The six-story hotel has been around for some years, the exterior wall is quite old, but the environment is pretty good, quiet, well-vegetated, and the room settings are also very clean. The service staff's quality is not bad either, Yang Dunning is also quite satisfied.
After casually eating a plate of dumplings outside, Yang Dunning opened the small bag he was carrying and pulled out a "brick" - it was a big brother's phone, and dialed a number.
The phone rang through, but no one answered. I dialed again, it rang through, but still no one answered. I dialed once more, and this time someone finally picked up the phone on the other end.
The room was quiet, and so was the person opposite. For a long time, neither of them spoke.
"Is it Xiao Xue?" Yang Du Ning let out a quiet sigh and finally spoke softly.
"I am." The voice across from me was sweet, but I could hear a hint of icy coldness that kept people at arm's length.
"I am..."
"Are you Xiao Dong?"
"It's me. I reported for work at the company today."
"I understand."
"Get ready, tonight's train, someone will deliver the ticket to you this afternoon, it'll take about two days to get here, be careful on the train."
"Good."
"Don't you have any other ideas?" Yang Du Ning found it strange that Xiao Xue agreed so readily.
"I've waited for four years for this day, I'll be right there, don't worry." Little Snow's tone on the other end of the line was still as calm as ever.
"I'm saying the same thing, as long as you're not willing, no one will force you, and no one dares to force you! Including me!" By the last sentence, Yang Dunning's tone had a hint of overbearingness and coldness.
"Thank you."
"The day after tomorrow morning you come here, at the train station wait for me, I will pick you up."
"Uh-huh."
Another silence later, the other party hung up the phone actively.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Dunning found himself panting slightly. Xiaoxue was both Yang Dunning's pain and a demon that needed to be resolved.
Xiaoxue - Fan Xinyue is a beautiful and innocent girl, but her beauty brings great disaster.
In the previous life, Yang Dunning saw Xiaoxue's story online. After graduating from vocational school, Xiaoxue was unemployed and stayed at home, but she was raped by a powerful person because of her beauty. Xiaoxue reported to the police, but due to the other party's great power, she had no way to seek justice. In the end, she and her good friend poisoned the powerful person after losing her mind, and as a result, they both ended up on the execution ground, and the beautiful flower withered like this.
Seeing all the photos of Xiaoxue from birth to death on the internet, Yang Dunning felt angry, suffered, and grieved, lamenting his own powerlessness, but unable to change this tragedy that had already occurred.
In this life, Yang Du Ning made a decision when he was very young: he must help this girl.
It's not because I'm infatuated with Xiaoxue's beauty, but because I don't want to see those calm yet helpless eyes on the execution ground again, nor do I want to see that strand of hair flying wildly in the wind after the execution, and even less do I want to witness that cruel scene after the execution.
In 1999, Yang Dunning was 16 years old and Xiao Xue was 18. Yang Dunning went to the vocational school where Xiao Xue studied and directly asked her to be his girlfriend, hoping to change history and protect her in this way. However, Xiao Xue bluntly refused, which Yang Dunning also knew. How could this beautiful girl believe a person who said he loved her at first sight? She had her own dreams and ideals, but there was absolutely no place for him.
That year, Yang Dunning left in disappointment, unable to say what had not yet happened. Since he was powerless to stop the event from happening, he could only find a way to change the outcome of the event.
Two years have passed, Yang Dunning was admitted to Beijing University, Xiaoxue has graduated for a year, Yang Dunning is 18 years old, and Xiaoxue is 20 years old.
Yang Dunning left again, and by the time he did, Xiao Xue had already been violated by that person and was seeking justice everywhere but to no avail.
She had become desperate and started secretly plotting with her friends to poison the big shot.
Yang Du Ning appeared and said to Xiao Xue: I haven't changed, I still want you to be my girlfriend.
Xiaoxue said it was impossible because she no longer had any attachment to this world, and the only reason she stayed was for revenge; once her hatred was gone, it would be time to leave.
Yang Du Ning domineeringly told Xiao Xue, he would avenge her grievances! But there was one condition, she had to wait for him for four years. Four years later, they would meet again. If she wanted to leave, he would let her go, no matter how far she flew. If she was willing to stay, she would be his woman for the rest of her life.
This is not taking advantage of someone's misfortune, it's just protecting a beautiful flower, Yang Dunning thought at the time.
Xiao Xue agreed in one breath.
Yang Duning quickly used his connections to send that big shot to the execution ground. Who let it be a year of severe crackdown?
That day, Yang Dunning took Xiaoxue to see him. Xiaoxue cried at the time, crying so hard that she laughed afterwards and said to him: "I've been waiting for you for four years!" Then she ran back to her home which had lost its vitality - Xiaoxue's parents had both fallen ill and passed away because of Xiaoxue's situation.
Yang Dunning arranged everything for Xiaoxue and left. In four years of college, he only called Xiaoxue three times, today is the fourth time.
His heart was pounding rapidly, Yang Dunning smiled wryly, what's going on? Is it because Xiaoxue is about to arrive? Has the four years really made him fall in love with this girl?
Yang Dunning is no longer a bachelor. However, to this day, he has only had one woman, Zhou Haixia, who was the 18-year-old birthday gift given to Yang Dunning that year.
What's been giving Yang Dunning a headache is that his almost eighty-year-old master, Guo Dong, has entrusted him with taking good care of his sister, Guo Yingxue, which clearly means he considers him as his own son-in-law.
The beauty of the elder sister is even more than that of a young girl, but what makes Yang Dunning headache is that after growing up, the elder sister is no longer as gentle, soft and obedient as she was in her childhood. Every time they are together, she always tries to tease him, and also learns some unconventional things, wanting to become the spokesperson for Huaxia fashion all day long, making those ** worship her endlessly in the capital city, especially those princesses, who simply adore her like a star.
Master Guo Dong left Shicheng and returned to the Guo family in Beijing when Yang Du Ning was still in junior high school.
Guo Dong is the eldest son of Guo Lao, a founding general. He left home many years ago because of his mother's poor behavior and stayed in Shicheng for over 30 years until Guo Lao passed away. The Guo family is a prominent family in Beijing, although Guo Lao has passed away, Guo Dong's third brother is now a key member of the Zhongyang core, with considerable influence.
Guo Yingxue has such a high reputation among the princes and princesses, not only because of her background, but also because of her exceptional martial arts skills. Since arriving in the capital, whoever dares to provoke her will be beaten by her until they listen, and so many men have finally submitted to her authority.
