The wind howls, the cold wind blowing from the north invades the bones, and there is snow floating in the air. The snowflakes are instigated by the strong wind blowing from the sea, hitting the land, the sea, and everything in the world. At this time, they are completely enveloped by the cold wind of Siberia.

Lianyungang's shipbuilding industry was formed here in Haitou Bay of Lianyungang. Along the coast of nearly 3 kilometers along Haitou Bay, there are more than 20 shipyards and slipways of various sizes scattered. The former strait was filled with flat land, creating the shipbuilding industry of Lianyungang.

The base, and in Yingyou Strait, a seawall extends several kilometers to the sea, that is, the Haitou Bay seawall. The Haitou Bay seawall is not connected to the island, but leaves a 100-meter-wide outlet.

Haikou, after the construction of this seawall, the Yingyou Strait was deepened by nearly one meter with the help of ocean currents scouring it from the outlet.

After the Haitou Bay seawall was built, it would always be a place where some young men and women would watch the sea. They would stop near the lighthouse, look at the sea and gently hold their lovers' hands, and then lovingly make a lifelong promise. However,

, in this harsh winter, no one will come here to enjoy the sea or the scenery.

But today, on the seawall of Haitou Bay, which is tens of meters wide, a man and a woman were walking along the seawall. Anyone with a discerning eye can guess the behavior and relationship of this pair of men and women at a glance.

, However, there are no people here.

The woman was wearing a Scottish tweed coat and a small curled women's hat on her head. The man next to her was very tall, nearly a head taller than the woman. He was wearing a dark gray coat and a small curled hat on his head.

Wearing a top hat of the same color, judging from the clothing alone, these two people should have a pretty good income, at least not everyone can afford this kind of woolen winter clothes.

Finally, the two of them reached the end of the seawall and stood under the lighthouse. Then they ignored the cold wind and faced the sea. They just looked at the sea. From a distance, they looked like a shadow from a myth.

"This is my second time here. The last time I came here, it was still a construction site."

"I only came once when it was finished."

"I thought you would take the opportunity to hold my arm and stay here for a while."

For Zhao Qi, who grew up abroad, her character has been somewhat influenced by foreign culture, making her more proactive and bold than many domestic girls.

"..."

Li Zicheng couldn't help but dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhao Qi to be so proactive. Well, yes, he was proactive.

Li Zicheng did have a good impression of this girl, or in other words, he had a crush on her. In the past few months, he would always think of the scene where she held his hand in the studio and gave her encouragement.

Boney hands always make people miss her endlessly. In the past few months, when I occasionally think of her, I always wonder if I should ask her out. But unexpectedly, I bumped into her at home today. I can’t wait to see her.

When she opened her mouth, she took the initiative to invite her to enjoy the snow.

"I'm just kidding you, I'll scare you."

Zhao Qi's face showed a consistent smile, but the surprise in Li Zicheng's eyes only made her feel disappointed. She didn't know why she took the initiative to ask him out, and she couldn't figure it out either.

Why, the shadow of this man would remain in her mind? It seemed that for her, from the moment she held his hand in the studio that day, the shadow of this man was imprinted on her heart.

From that day on, the shadow of this man kept appearing in her mind, but it was not until today that she took the initiative to ask him out on the pretext of looking for her eldest brother.

"It's really cold here."

Zhao Qi, who was rubbing his hands and his face was red from the cold, said softly, and then said quickly.

"However, it makes people very clear."

Her words made Li Zicheng glance at the land coldly with a helpless expression, as if this was the last time he looked towards the land and he would never come back again. But in fact, it was just because he wanted to take a look at himself.

"I heard from my brother that after the Spring Festival, you may leave Lianyungang and go to the capital."

This news was only spread among a very few people, so Zhao Pingpu naturally knew about it.

"Well, maybe, I might stay there, or I might go there and come back."

Going to the capital, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought about what he would face after going to the capital. Every man longs for power, even Li Zicheng is no exception. When a man is in power and rules the world, every time he thinks of what he might get,

Li Zicheng could never suppress the excitement in his heart, but now when there were no outsiders, the expectation in his eyes was unmistakable.

Stopping suddenly, Zhao Qi stared straight at Li Zicheng, finally finding the look on his face that she least wanted to see.

"Then...congratulations."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zhao Qi's voice. She knew clearly that the distance between her and him was too far, as far away as the difference between heaven and earth, and now he was going to a higher place.

This only aggravated the loss in her heart. At the same time, she had an inexplicable feeling about the desire for power shown on his face. She felt that he had changed.

"There's nothing to congratulate, it's just a shift from one battlefield to another."

There is nothing against his will in this sentence. In Li Zicheng's view, going to the capital is undoubtedly going to a battlefield, and what he will face on that battlefield is not something he has any confidence in his heart. All he has now is the desire for power and the future.

.

"battlefield……"

Zhao Qi looked serious, and then she said:

"If you really go to the capital, I hope, I hope..."

She glanced at him as she walked and spoke in a squeaky voice, but then Zhao Qi turned her head to the side for no apparent reason. Every time she got serious, she had to assume this posture. Suddenly she turned around

Come, look at the man in front of you seriously. She knows that, probably, this means that she will no longer have any contact with him in life. He will become a big shot that people will remember. But what about herself? She is just a broadcaster.

Member, what are you thinking about? Why are you still looking for trouble? She stretched out her hand and quietly held Li Zicheng's hand, while Li Zicheng shook her gloved hand in surprise and smiled quietly.

"I'm glad you finally became a politician!"

politician!

When Zhao Qi said this, Li Zicheng could not forget this meeting for a long time. What was unforgettable was not the expected things on that face, but the unexpected impression. In their time, the most respected

The woman's face is quiet, supple, and shy. That face obviously does not meet the aesthetic standards of this era, but from my own perspective, she is so beautiful. No matter what era, no matter what aesthetic standards are used

By standards, this is an extremely beautiful, even a bit delicate, face.

But it is an unforgettable face, not because of her beauty, but because it is a sad and sad face. The sadness shown on this face is as pure as the spring water flowing out of the woods.

Natural and hard to hide. There is no pretense, no pretense, no hysteria, no deceptive mask on this face. The most important thing is that it is a natural expression.

Facing those innocent eyes like clear springs, Li Zicheng only felt that those eyes had the power to penetrate everything. Of course, this did not refer to the gaze itself, but to its effect. At that moment, he felt that he was being

The opponent saw through it at a glance and deserved to be pierced and destroyed.

Become a politician yourself!

The woman's comment made Li Zicheng's expression change. Has he actually fallen to this level? Is he just a politician?

Is this what I want? No!

Obviously not!

At this time, Zhao Qi was silent. She looked back for only two or three seconds at most, then turned around and still stared at the sea. She looked at the sea and stopped uttering any words. After all, between the two of them,

After a few minutes of silence.

She turned around again and smiled lightly at Li Zicheng.

"Thank you, thank you for taking the time to accompany me today. Okay, let's go! You still have a lot to do!"

When Zhao Qi finished speaking and turned around to walk towards the land, Li Zicheng looked at her back and opened his mouth to speak.

"No, I'm not a politician! I'm not, I'm going to be..."

But the words could not be spoken. To be precise, Li Zicheng realized that he was probably not much nobler than Zhao Qi's metaphor. In any case, he was just the most vulgar person who longed for power, regardless of his own

The reason was so noble and the words were so sanctimonious, but in front of those eyes, in front of those pure gazes, I had nothing to defend myself from.

Noble reasons cannot cover up what is in his heart, but being sanctimonious can only make him despise himself as a person. With a wry smile, Li Zicheng looked at Zhao Qi's background. At this moment, Li Zicheng understood something, probably a lot.

Things, for me, are just a luxury wish.

At least the ordinary love of ordinary people is just a luxury wish for me. If it is, why should I pursue it? Why should I...

The two of them walked towards the land in silence. At this time, no one said anything more, they just walked quietly, as if from now on, there would be no intersection between heaven and earth.

When he was still a hundred meters away from the bus stop, Zhao Qi turned around and waved to Li Zicheng, then said with a smile on his face.

"goodbye!"

goodbye……

Silently saying these two words in his heart, Li Zicheng sighed in his heart and looked at the girl's back. He understood that it was probably time for him to say goodbye to many extravagant hopes. People always need to learn to give up. On the road of life, there are always

in this way.

After lunch, in the rest room of the office, Li Zicheng stared blankly at his face in the mirror. At this time, his thoughts were in a blur and difficult to sort out. He felt something saying in his head

There were endless magical things, and he felt vaguely frustrated. This feeling had nothing to do with what happened on the seawall. What really bothered him was what he was about to face:

Going to the capital is his established strategy, and in the process, he will have to face the challenge of how to obtain power from Yuan Shikai. When he goes to the capital, no matter what position he takes, he cannot and will not be Yuan Shikai's seal tool.

Yuan Shikai has his own pursuits and his own ideals. Probably, Yuan Shikai will pass away in more than a year, but before that, he must establish sufficient authority. Only in this way can he use his power in the post-Yuan Shikai era.

The authority accumulated in the past was used to establish its own authority, thereby ensuring that the country continues on the normal path.

In this process, I have to go through a long road full of struggles, and this is an unprecedented challenge for me.

Moreover, I still have to face a problem, that is, I am only twenty-four years old now. In the eyes of many people, I am just a young man. If I were in that high position, I could make those old treacherous people slip away.

Are the politicians convinced?

Of course not!
