Chapter 1038: Gaining an Upgrade

on room for now and not go to the venue. 。Xiao Zheng immediately arrived at the reception room and saw six or seven leaders inside. 。What surprised Xiao Zheng the most was not that Huang Guowei was t...Liu Shisen wanted to stop Xiao Zheng, what did it have to do with that woman But he also knew Xiao Zheng's character, once he promised something, he would definitely do it. 。This is also something that Liu Shisen admires very much about him. 。Moreover, the fact that Xiao Zheng also asked his liaison officer to go with him indicates that he is merely going to fulfill his promise and it's highly unlikely anything major will happen. 。Liu Shisen said: "Then you'd better deal with it quickly. Let's drink first, anyway, you don't drink." 。We'll find a place, and then the driver will pick you up. 。"Xiao Zheng said, "Good, I won't be late. I'll have Xiao Ren accompany you for a drink later." 。Xiao Zheng and Ren Yongle returned to the hospital, entering the orthopedic ward and finding Chen Hong. 。She leaned against the wall of the room alone, with no one else around, a look of loneliness on her face. 。She wasn't as lucky as Fangya, recovering so quickly. Although the pain in her legs had subsided, the fracture still kept her up at night. 。As soon as Chen Hong saw Xiao Zheng, her whole face lit up. She said with delight, "Xiao Zheng, you're here" In Xiao Zheng's memory, Chen Hong had always been glamorous, gentle, and a little proud. Today's Chen Hong still looked beautiful, but there seemed to be wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her complexion was slightly paler. 。No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot withstand the passage of time and the pain of suffering. 。At this moment, Xiao Zheng's heart filled with a newfound sympathy for Chen Hong. 。Over the years, Xiao Zheng's career and life have undergone earth-shaking changes, and Chen Hong has also experienced ups and downs. She even sacrificed her beauty in exchange for a better future for herself and her father. 。Everyone has different choices, and there's nothing Xiao Zheng can blame her for that. 。As long as she could live a good life and not bother him again, nor try to disrupt his marriage with Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Zheng was even willing to help her. 。Today, since Chen Hong proposed to see him when leaving the mine site, Xiao Zheng didn't want to hide. 。Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I just saw Governor Ye and Minister Fang. They're both fine." 。I promised to come see you, so I swung by. 。"Ren Yongle followed Xiao Zheng, feeling that the few words he had spoken were quite measured." 。Ren Yongle already knew, Chen Hong was Xiao Zheng's ex-girlfriend, and Xiao Jingyu was Xiao Zheng's wife. 。Many women care about their men and will see their ex-girlfriends. 。So, how Xiao Zheng speaks to Chen Hong today is actually quite important. It needs to be handled carefully to avoid giving her the wrong impression. 。

Just now, Xiao Zheng first said that he went to see Governor Ye and Minister Fang before coming to see her. This shows that in Xiao Zheng's mind, Chen Hong is not the top priority; secondly, Xiao Zheng told Chen Hong that he came because he "promised to come see you," which means he was fulfilling his promise rather than visiting Chen Hong specially, avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings. 。Chen Hong was a smart woman, she naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Zheng's words. She gave a bitter smile and glanced at Ren Yongle beside Xiao Zheng, then said to Xiao Zheng: "Could you please ask your contact to go out for a bit I'd like to have a word with you privately." 。“Xiao Zheng, I’m taking the Yongle position,” Xiao Zheng nodded. Ren Yongle then said, “Minister Xiao, I’ll be waiting for you at the door.” 。"Okay," Xiao Zheng said. 。Ren Yongle went out and closed the door. 。The ward fell silent. Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng and said, “Can you help me call my parents” Xiao Zheng was taken aback: “Me I’m not sure that’s appropriate, is it” Chen Hong replied, “It’s fine, there’s nothing inappropriate about it.” 。If you make this call, they will feel reassured. 。"Xiao Zheng politely declined: "I'm worried that if I make this call, they will be even more distrustful." 。You underestimate my parents. 。Chen Hong said, “This time I came to Shu with the delegation alone. My parents should have already known about the aftershocks.” 。My dad has called several times, but I haven't answered. I'm afraid they'll know I'm injured and worry too much. 。If you could make a phone call, they would feel reassured. 。Even though we've broken up, my parents know very well that you would never do anything bad to me. And whenever I run into trouble, you'll always look out for me. 。They are very clear about who you are. 。As she spoke the last sentence, Chen Hong suddenly burst into tears, unable to speak. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Chen Hong, you'd better not cry, otherwise the injured area will hurt more." 。Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Back then, I did something wrong. I regret it now very much." 。Xiao Zheng, are you still unable to forgive me now" Facing such Chen Hong, Xiao Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart. He shook his head slightly and said, "Chen Hong, I've long since let it go. 。This means that a person can only be harmed by another person when they maintain a certain relationship. When this relationship is severed, unrelated strangers cannot harm each other. 。Chen Hong heard the words "long ago, I didn't take it to heart," she felt even more disheartened than if he had said he would never forgive her. 。She was still tearful, and said, "Just make a phone call for me, so my parents can rest assured, okay"

Looking at Chen Hong's pleading expression, Xiao Zheng's heart softened. He said, "Okay, you say one sentence first, and I'll take over the rest." 。Chen Hong turned her sadness into joy, picked up the simple bedside table phone, and dialed her father Chen Guangming's number. 。On the other end of the line, Chen Guangming picked up and Chen Hong switched her phone to speakerphone. Chen Guangming's voice came from the phone: "Chen Hong, why haven't you been answering your phone Your mother and I are worried sick!" Sun Wenmin's voice also came over: "Chen Hong, how are you Are you alright We called your workplace and asked them to check with the provincial government, but we haven't heard back." 。The fact that the delegation encountered an earthquake in the mining area is probably still under wraps by the provincial government. 。。When our delegation was visiting the mine, an aftershock occurred and the mine collapsed, trapping many of us underground...""What" Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin exclaimed in shock, "How could this happen Are you alright You nearly scared us to death, Chen Hong. How are you now..."

Chen Hong said, “Dad, Mom, I’m injured, I have a fracture…” Sun Wenmin almost cried out, "Oh my, what should we do then" Her voice was clearly laced with crying. 。Chen Guangming's urgent voice also came over: "Chen Hong, I'm coming right over, I'll take you home!" Thousands of miles away, Chen Guangming wanted to rush straight to Sichuan. 。To Xiao Zheng, Chen Hong was no longer his girlfriend, and he didn't care about her the way he used to. 。As the mother, Sun Wenmin, and the father, Chen Guangming, Chen Hong has always been a beloved treasure. 。Perhaps this is the fundamental difference between lovers and family. To be able to love one's daughter unconditionally, such parents may also be selfish, but Xiao Zheng remains blameless. 。"Dad, you absolutely cannot come!" Chen Hong immediately stopped him, "There are still aftershocks in Sichuan, and we don't know when they will happen again! I'm already at the hospital, and Xiao Zheng is here too." 。Just relax. 。"Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin were silent for a moment over there before asking, “Xiao Zheng How could he be there”

Chen Hong’s gaze turned towards Xiao Zheng" 。Xiao Zheng had already agreed to make the call, so he had to say: "Uncle, Auntie, I'm Xiao Zheng. Chen Hong's leg was injured, but she's in the hospital and out of danger. Don't worry…" Through the speakerphone, he briefly told them how he came to Sichuan on a business trip, met Chen Hong, and then an aftershock happened. He went to the mining area and saved people, including Chen Hong. 。In Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin's new home in Jingzhou City, they listened intently while looking at each other. They never expected that this time, it was Xiao Zheng who saved Chen Hong. 。As for Chen Hong and Xiao Zheng's situation, both Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin know that it was Chen Hong who, in pursuit of a promotion, did something wrong to Xiao Zheng first, which led to their breakup. 。Now, Xiao Zheng saved Chen Hong again. The two still felt a glimmer of gratitude: "Xiao Zheng ah, thank you this time! With you here, we feel at ease!"

This wasn't a lie. Although Chen Guangming and Sun Wenmin had some reservations about Xiao Zheng before, they knew that he was a very reliable person. He always followed through on his promises. If they could really have Xiao Zheng's protection, Chen Hong would be truly safe. 。Sun Wemin said: "Xiao Zheng, then you'd better send Chen Hong back, come to our house for dinner!" Chen Guangming also said: "Xiao Zheng, your Aunt Sun is right, you and Chen Hong should come back together. Your Aunt Sun has cooked delicious food for you, and I will open the best Moutai for you." 。These words sound nice, and this attitude seems very appealing, but Xiao Zheng was also very clear that he would never return to Chen Hong's home. The relationship had been severed, and it was impossible to rekindle. 。He already has a family and children; he would never do anything that could potentially hurt Xiao Jingyu. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Uncle, Aunt, please rest assured, Chen Hong will come back safely." 。But I have something else to do, and I can't go back to Jingzhou yet, so I won't come to visit. 。But, Chen Hong, I will take good care of you. 。Thank you both for the invitation, goodbye. 。Xiao Zheng expressed his attitude clearly and concisely, then stopped talking. 。Chen Hong had to say to the other end: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, we'll see you in a couple of days." 。"After Chen Hong hung up the phone, Xiao Zheng said: "Chen Hong, you have a good rest. I will make sure the hospital keeps you safe." 。I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now. 。Chen Hong knew Xiao Zheng wouldn't stay, and she felt quite disappointed. 。Previously, in order to fulfill her father's wishes and her own career aspirations, she had made Xiao Zheng leave her. 。"But now, with a position to hold, who would be there to accompany him When someone's body starts having problems, all external things seem insignificant. What truly matters is who stays by your side in the end.

Many people can't understand this truth or are unwilling to think about it!

Xiao Zheng said: "Chen Hong, I hope that after you safely return this time, you can live a good life and we both find peace!" Xiao Zheng meant that he hoped Chen Hong would not think about getting back together with him again, and even less so do anything that would harm Xiao Jingyu and his son." 。Chen Hong naturally understood, she smiled wryly and said: "Xiao Zheng, after today's events, my thoughts are also changing. " 。Maybe I can never have you again, but at least I still have my parents! They are the people I cherish most in this world. 。Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said sincerely, "If you truly think so, I am willing to bless you for a lifetime!" However, could Chen Hong really think that wayven if Director Li is really looking for an outdoor location in the river…” 。He is an internationally renowned director, and the head of the Propaganda Department's Arts Bureau at the provincial commi...
