"Perhaps she feels that she can't find anything better, so now she is pestering me. I often work overtime when doing shows, and she comes over from time to time to bring me supper, and also buys me a big bag of coffee. The one in a bar.

Plant some instant coffee. I also bought some wool, saying that autumn is coming soon and I want to make me a sweater."

Su Xiaolin exclaimed: "I didn't see it! She is quite nice to you!"

"Yes!" Qiu Zhizhong put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth: "To be honest, I always thought that talking about money and hurting feelings was just a gag. There have been similar examples around me, and even in Taiwan

There are exactly the same emotional programs, but I feel that that kind of thing is too far away from me, at least it cannot happen to me. But now..."

Speaking of this, he became depressed.

"Actually, I liked her very much before. She was average-looking, but very well-behaved. The reason why I agreed to pay the down payment for buying a house at the beginning and gave her a gift of 500,000 yuan without even thinking about it was because I wanted to have a happy relationship.

, two people live together forever. In my opinion

The money you come in is all external things, you can earn it later if you lose it now, use more and spend less. Every meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas is a life, as is radish, pickles, white rice, etc. Anyway, the final result is to have enough food and clothing. The difference is nothing more than

The so-called quality of life.”

"I never dreamed that she would actually help her family so much!"

"I was in the coffee shop that day, and I really said the word "break up" to her on the phone with all my heart. Later, when the phone was turned off, I thought about it again and again... How should I put it... At that moment, I really understood

What is rationality is reality.”

"Perhaps men must have similar experiences before they can truly mature. I have also figured out that if it is my own money, it is all my business how I spend it. But I have more than one million in my hands.

Most of it is borrowed from my parents. They only have me as their son, so naturally they will give me whatever I say. But I really have no right to do that."

Hu Pingtao stood up, walked to the empty chair next to Qiu Zhizhong and sat down. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder hard several times, comforting him: "Be more open-minded. This is not your fault."

Qiu Zhizhong was silent for a long time and said seriously: "I really like her."

"I'm also really afraid of her family."

"I struggled for a long time, but still couldn't find the middle value that balances the two."

With that said, Qiu Zhizhong, who looked lonely, turned to Hu Pingtao: "Give me a cigarette."

Hu Pingtao took out a cigarette and a lighter and handed them over together. Qiu Zhizhong took one out of the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath.

He puffed out thick smoke and said mockingly: "I wrote a few words to her on WeChat."

"May you be safe and sound where you can't see me, may your winter never lack warm sunshine, may your tomorrow no longer experience wind and rain, may your future always be full of hope... Find someone who loves you.

, I hope he will work hard, work smoothly, be rich, and have all his dreams come true."

Su Xiaolin smacked these words, pointed at Qiu Zhizhong and said with a smile: "You are a very bad person. On the surface, they sound like good wishes, but in fact they are buried with mines."

Qiu Zhizhong raised his head and laughed.

…

The next day.

The weather forecast said there would be light rain today. When Hu Pingtao went out in the morning, the sky was gloomy with thick dark clouds. He thought it would not take long for the rain to fall, but when he arrived at the police station, not only did it not rain, the clouds

It also dispersed, revealing the golden sun.

Tan Tao had just finished breakfast. He stood in the corridor and looked at the sky for a while, then turned and walked into the office. He said unhappily: "I shouldn't have chosen to be a police officer in the first place. It would be better to go to the Meteorological Bureau."

Hu Pingtao asked confusedly: "Why?"

Tan Tao sat down opposite him: "You can make up lies! It's obviously a sunny day, but you have to say it's going to rain. It's obviously a heavy rain, but you have to say it's okay. This job is so easy! It's very relaxing to sit in the office every day, and even on weekends

I can go home and spend time with my wife and children.”

Hu Pingtao knew he was joking, so he smiled and shook his head: "What a mouth you have!"

Tan Tao laughed for a while and asked, "Are you going to Shangyi Community today?"

Hu Pingtao nodded and said "Yes": "The parking fee case that day has not been settled yet! This matter looks simple on the surface, but in fact it is very complicated. I will take Li Yuanhai for a trip later to see what happened.

I’ll leave it to you.”

Tan Tao answered readily: "Okay, go ahead! If you need anything, just call me."

…

At 9:30 in the morning, Hu Pingtao and Li Yuanhai walked into the Shangyi Community Office Building and went directly into the director's office.

Xiang Hongyin is just fifty years old this year and has a straightforward personality. When Liao Qiu was the chief of Eryuan Road Police Station, Hu Pingtao had met Xiang Hongyin several times and got to know each other. At that time, Xiang Hongyin was still an ordinary community worker.

Hu Pingtao left the police station because of his mission, and they haven't seen each other for several years. Xiang Hongyin has also been promoted and became a community director.

Xiang Hongyin welcomed Hu Pingtao's visit and his words were full of surprises.

"Xiaohu! You are really young and promising. I didn't expect that after Director Liao left, you would come back and directly serve as the director."

"Our community is within the jurisdiction of the Eryuan Road Police Station. We will have to move around more in the future, especially in terms of work, we have to cooperate with each other."

"Let's hold a social event another day, or wait until the Chinese New Year and invite the comrades in your office to have a meal together. Haha, don't worry! It's in our cafeteria, and the meal standards will not violate the rules."

Hu Pingtao quickly thanked you: "Thank you, Sister Xiang. Speaking of work, I came over today and I really have something to ask you for."

Xiang Hongyin made tea for him and Li Yuanhai respectively, then sat down on the sofa opposite and looked at him with a smile: "Tell me! What is the specific matter?"

Hu Pingtao was not pretentious: "Then I will get straight to the point."

He recounted the dispute over parking fees that day and asked seriously: "Sister Xiang, I checked on the Internet and found that the parking areas near Yinghong Street are concentrated on the south side of the street. In your Shangyi Community, that is, outside the office building

These alleys do not belong to the toll parking areas stipulated by the government, and there are no lines on the ground!"

Xiang Hongyin was still smiling at first, but when Hu Pingtao said it was about parking fees, the expression on his face instantly froze and his smile gradually disappeared.

"This...this matter is actually an issue left over from history."

"Xiaohu! You also know that there are many things that are not as simple as they seem on the surface. It's difficult for me...it's difficult for me too!"

"About the parking fee... how about this? I will refund the overcharged fee to the person later, and we will just pretend that this never happened. What do you think?"

She hesitated and hesitated, and there seemed to be something hidden in her words.

Hu Pingtao smiled and said kindly: "Sister Xiang, I know you are a good person and very enthusiastic about your work. In fact, this matter may be big or small. It depends on how you understand it. Now everyone has pockets

People here who have money and can afford a private car will certainly not care about the parking fee of a few dollars. But no matter what, the fees must be reasonable and must comply with the regulations of the higher-level government. You can't just make up a name and charge arbitrarily.

Bar?"

"This seems to be a small matter worth tens of dollars, but ordinary people don't think so! No matter where the money ends up, the car owner who paid the money will think that the money has been given to the relevant government departments. Anyway, overcharging is illegal. Regardless.

Once or many times, people will scold you behind your back. To put it lightly, it is just a few complaints. But to put it more seriously, this will really arouse negative public opinion. The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, which will have a negative impact on the image of the country and the government.

Distortion effect.”

The last few words were a bit harsh. Xiang Hongyin's face looked a little ugly: "Xiaohu, Director Hu, you are exaggerating a bit!"

Hu Pingtao knew Xiang Hongyin's temper and explained with a smile: "Sister Xiang, you are a very easy-going person. You will laugh and talk no matter who you are with. But you, as long as it concerns you, you will become serious.

.I just said it casually, and you are not happy...but think about it, if I had not solved the problem that day, the private car owner who was charged 30 yuan for parking must be unhappy!"

"Now that the Internet is so developed, he can just post it online and make it public, and thousands of people can see it."

"The TV station has a focus on people's livelihood column, and reporters can be called over for on-site interviews with just one phone call. If this really happens, things will get serious."

"Also, even if he didn't post online or call the TV station, he has called 110 to call the police. We have records here. There will be a summary of the case every quarter. When the time comes, we will check it and find out the relevant information.

The problem will still fall to the district, which will hand it over to the sub-district office for implementation, and ultimately it will have to go back to your community."

Xiang Hongyin sat there without saying a word, his lips tightly closed and his brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao whispered to Li Yuanhai: "You go out first, and I will have a good talk with Sister Xiang."

Li Yuanhai nodded and stood up, walked out of the office, and closed the door behind him.

Hu Pingtao moved his seat in the direction of Xiang Hongyin and said sincerely: "Sister Xiang, you are the community director. You have to understand the difficulties of being the director. Even if there is any security risk in this area, we will have it."

The responsibility and obligation is to eliminate it at the first opportunity. Parking fees can be big or small, but they are still a hidden danger point."

"Let's talk about the public aspect first - it's obviously not a parking area designated by the government, so why do you charge?"

"Let's talk about private matters - charging parking fees without any basis. How is this different from extortion and fraud?"

"The parking charges stipulated by the government can be checked online. Nowadays, everyone has a mobile phone, and you can check everything by clicking on the search engine. No one is a fool or a blind person. The parking time is only more than an hour, and this neighborhood is not a busy city.

District, I asked someone for thirty yuan for parking fee, and no one was willing to give me this money!"

"If one wants to receive it and the other one is not given, there will definitely be a quarrel."

"This time the matter is barely resolved, but what about next time?"

"Sister Xiang, there are dozens of cars parked near your Shangyi community. If we do this, we will have quarrels every day. To be honest, Sister Xiang, don't take this matter as easy. If you call the police and complain

There are so many people here, you really can’t handle them.”

Xiang Hongyin still frowned. She moved her cheeks several times but still didn't speak.

Hu Pingtao continued to attack: "Sister Xiang, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I still have some connections here. No matter the district bureau, the municipal bureau or the provincial department, as long as you don't violate the rules or show favoritism, as long as you open your mouth,

I will help with everything that needs to be done.”

Xiang Hongyin raised his head and looked at Hu Pingtao with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Xiaohu, you are not an outsider. We can talk about some things behind closed doors, but you must not spread them out."
