Chapter 509: The Life-Urging Phone Call

Xi Meizhu told me on the phone that my mother was sick.

I asked anxiously, "Is it serious?"

Xi Meizhu stopped talking.

A fire in my heart flared up, nearly lighting the grass on the side of the road. My mother is my only relative now; without her, there is no home!

"Where is she?" I asked anxiously.

"In the hospital." Xi Meizhu hung up the phone in a panic, not letting me ask which hospital my mother was in. I hurriedly called back, but found her phone was turned off.

"Grass!" I cursed fiercely. I started calling my aunt.

They seemed to have discussed it, and my aunt's phone was also turned off.

This is unusual! The first reaction in my mind was that this matter was unusual. Because my aunt's phone was never turned off, her phone was turned off, could it be that something big really happened!

I hesitated and wanted to call Huang Weiwei. In Hengyue City, she was the person I could think of first.

After hesitating for a long time, I didn't call Huang Weiwei in the end.

She is pregnant, and her actions are inconvenient. Even if something really happened, she, a pregnant woman, couldn't help, but would worry her and cause some new things.

The phone couldn't be reached, and I was anxious.

Even if I had wings now, I couldn't fly to Hengyue City at once!

Rushing down the mountain, I found a blister on the side of my mouth. Anxious fire attacking the heart! I muttered, pushing open the door of the dormitory.

The light in the living room was still on, but Deng Hanyuan was nowhere to be seen.

I stood in the middle of the room, wanting to cry.

The door next to it opened, revealing Deng Hanyuan's head. He was clearly asleep, and as if woken up by me, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Back!"

After speaking, he retracted his head.

I smiled bitterly, sat on the sofa, took out my phone, and called Xi Meizhu.

Still turned off!

I threw the phone on the sofa in anger, picked up a set of underwear, and prepared to take a shower.

Just as I took off my clothes, the phone in the living room screamed again.

I couldn't care about only wearing underwear, ran into the living room in a panic, picked up the phone without looking, and shouted, "Meizhu, Meizhu, is it you?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said softly, "It's me!"

It was as if I had filled it with air but couldn't find a rope to tie the mouth, and I leaked half of my energy.

The call was from Zhu Hua Yu. Her voice sounded tired and lost, exactly the same as when I first met her three years ago.

"Not resting yet?" I asked, preparing to hang up.

"I was laid off!" she sighed, "Boss, thank you for helping me in the past!"

"What's going on?" I didn't understand for a while. Even if I am not the Deputy County Magistrate of Chunshan County now, I just left, and you handled my secretary as laid off? This tea is cooling too fast, right?

"It's nothing!" Zhu Hua Yu comforted me, "Anyway, you are not in the county anymore, we people, we don't have roots ourselves, so we are still handled by others."

"Who handled it?" I asked, suppressing my anger.

"The decision of the County Government, it's not one person." She laughed softly and asked mischievously, "I'm unemployed, I want to work in the provincial capital, do you think it's okay?"

I scolded, "Nonsense."

Zhu Hua Yu laughed, "I'm serious, you were my boss in the past, and you will still be my boss in the future. A boss can't ignore us."

I was speechless, thinking about whether this was Liu Qimeng's idea. If it was, how should I deal with it?

No matter what, I can't let Zhu Hua Yu drift on the street. I transferred her from a rural person to a town resident, and sent her into the career establishment sequence with Xie Tian. So, she is a member of the career establishment sequence today, who has the power to lay her off?

She said laid off, which is a nice way to say it. In the career establishment, there is no such thing as being laid off, it is nothing more than being fired or dismissed.

But no matter which situation it is, it is not what I want to see.

Liu Qimeng wouldn't bother with such trivial matters, could it be him?

My heart skipped a beat. If it was really him, there must be bigger trouble!

"Tell me slowly, what's going on." I comforted her.

She smiled lightly and said, "It's not to blame Division Chief Wei, I made a mistake myself."

Sure enough, it was him!

I said long ago that Wei Yan in the Three Kingdoms had anti-bones in the back of his head, and this Wei Yan also had anti-bones. It's just that this rebellion was too fast, in less than a week, he kicked me out of the door.

"What kind of ghost is Old Wei playing?" I asked indignantly.

"The day before yesterday, Division Chief Wei asked me to print a meeting notice, and I got the time wrong, and as a result, the meeting wasn't held on time, which delayed a big event." Zhu Hua Yu was clearly embarrassed, her voice getting lower and lower, so low that I could barely hear it.

"Who signed it?" I asked. I know the process of document distribution in the county. After the document is printed, it must be sent to the Government Office Director for signature. Didn't he review it when signing?

If he reviewed it, how could such a thing happen?

Wei Yan is a serious person, he wouldn't fail to see the problem. The only explanation is that he did it on purpose.

"Where is Qishan?" I asked. At this time, I must think of Huang Qishan, after all, he is Zhu Hua Yu's boyfriend. As a boyfriend, he has the responsibility and obligation to take on some things when his girlfriend has a little trouble. Just by his hat as the County Youth League Committee Secretary, Wei Yan couldn't give him no face.

"Missing." Zhu Hua Yu sighed.

"What do you mean again?" I became more anxious.

"He, he returned to Hengyue City for a few days. I didn't see him either."

"What is he doing back in Hengyue City?"

"It's going to be a change of term at the end of the year." Zhu Hua Yu said gloomily, "I hung up."

Before I could speak, she had already hung up the phone.

I stood there blankly, my mind blank.

I don't know what happened to my mother, and Zhu Hua Yu was also tricked by someone.

Just as I poured the shampoo onto my head, the phone rang again.

What is going on tonight? I almost roared out loud.

With a head full of foam, I ran into the living room, grabbed the phone, and silenced the call without even looking at it.

The phone rang again; I turned a deaf ear to it, finished my shower, returned to the sofa in the living room, and sat down. When I picked up the phone to check, there were ten missed calls.

I opened it and was startled again.

The calls were from Xu Mengda; I had actually silenced a call from Young Master Xu!

I glanced at the time on the phone; it was already eleven o'clock at night. Why would he be looking for me at this hour?

I hesitated for a moment, then got up and went back to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and started calling Xu Mengda back.

Xu Mengda asked me over the phone, "Chen Feng, are you in some den of pleasure?"

I hurriedly denied it, saying, "Brother Xu, I was just taking a shower."

Xu Mengda didn't blame me and said, "Come over to my place now; I want to introduce someone to you."

"Alright!" I agreed without hesitation, but then hesitated and said, "But I'm at the Party School, how do I get over there?"

"Don't you worry, I'll have someone come pick you up." Xu Mengda lowered his voice and asked, "You're not having any trouble, are you?"

I laughed heartily and said, "What kind of trouble would I have!"

"Good, get to the Party School gate in half an hour, I'll have someone go pick you up."

After hanging up on Xu Mengda, I found the clothes I had just bought that evening to wear, fished out a cigarette, opened the window, and stood by it, preparing to smoke.

Just as I lit it, Deng Hanyuan's bedroom door opened. He shuffled out in a pair of slippers, looked at my attire, and asked suspiciously, "Going out?"

I nodded and said, "An old friend asked me to go into the city."

"Are you coming back tonight?" he asked, poking his head toward the bathroom, frowning as he said, "I'm going to take a leak first."

Deng Hanyuan didn't close the door when he peed. I watched his thick, fleshy buttocks and listened to the tinkling sound of water in my ears, feeling a wave of disgust.

Deng Hanyuan smirked and said, "Going into the city to have some fun?"

I shook my head and said, "Nothing like that."

"How about I go with you?" Deng Hanyuan washed his hands and wiped them messily on his pants. I felt nauseated again. Damn it, how did I end up sharing a room with someone like this!

"Eating alone?" Deng Hanyuan gave a lewd laugh. It was only then that I noticed he looked very much like Deng Hanyuan; they were almost cut from the same mold.

I probed, "Secretary Deng, what is your relationship with Deng Hanyuan?"

When Deng Hanyuan heard me ask this, his expression darkened instantly. He snorted through his nose, left me there, returned to his room, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

I checked the time and saw it was about right, so I opened the door, ready to go to the school gate to wait for Xu Mengda's car.
