Ren Jiaju sent Liu Gen and Xia Yang out. The middle-aged man he called Uncle Jie was already waiting beside a black Audi car.
Before getting in the car, Liu Gen subconsciously raised his head and took one last look at the 'haunted house'. He saw the curtains were half-closed, and Ren Xiaoyao ducked out of the window like a ghost.
Xia Yang was very happy to get an autographed photo of Meng Yuan. After getting in the car, she kept chattering. After she had finished talking about the topics they had talked about together, she asked Liu Gen: "Brother Liu Gen, Deputy Mayor Ren
Chief, what are we talking about?"
"Nothing, just drinking tea." From the vanity mirror of the car, Liu Gen could see Uncle Jie's supervisory eyes as he drove. Of course, he would not tell Xia Yang about the conspiracy that Ren Xiaoyao and his son wanted to do with them.
"Ren Jiaju took great pains to invite you to his house just to drink a few cups of tea with his father?" Xia Yang didn't believe that Liu Gen was just drinking tea.
"Haha... Deputy Mayor Ren, mainly thanked me for saving Ren Jiaju that day." Liu Gen replied.
"The tea you are drinking must be a very special tea?" Xia Yang asked again.
"Well, it's very special." Liu Gen replied casually. He saw Uncle Jie's eyes and glanced at himself from the makeup mirror.
"I thought I would have to have lunch before leaving." Xia Yang held Liu Gen's hand and leaned against him.
"As deputy mayor, I have never invited guests at home." Uncle Jie explained with a smile.
"Listen to the accent, Uncle Jie, are you from the Northeast?" Liu Gen took the opportunity to chat with Uncle Jie.
"Yeah, my local accent is very strong?" Uncle Jie said cheerfully: "I went to Nanhai after I was discharged from the army."
"Have you ever been a soldier?" Liu Gen asked casually, "What kind of military branch was it?"
"Navy." Uncle Jie replied simply.
"Uncle Jie, how long have you been driving for Vice Mayor Ren?" Xia Yang asked.
"I followed him when he was the deputy mayor in the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Security Bureau."
"So, you also know Uncle Yang, the current detachment leader, nicknamed Huoyan." Xia Yang asked.
"Haha... Of course I know him. He was in the forensic department at that time." Uncle Jie replied.
"So, you should also know about my mother's murder?" Xia Yang suddenly became interested and leaned forward to ask.
"Your mother was killed...when?" Uncle Jie asked with a confused look on his face.
"On August 15th, thirteen years ago, my mother was a reporter, named Bai Magnolia." Xia Yang said hurriedly.
Uncle Jie shook his head: "I joined the Criminal Investigation Detachment in 1989 and have never heard of this case."
Xia Yang leaned back to Liu Gen with some disappointment, looked out the car window, seemed to be holding back the tears that were about to fall, and said to himself: "I really hope that Uncle Yang can find the murderer of my mother as soon as possible."
"Has the murderer been caught yet?" Uncle Jie looked at Xia Yang again from the vanity mirror and asked.
"If he had been caught, Uncle Yang wouldn't have been worrying about my mother's murder case for more than ten years." Xia Yang replied.
"Huoyan is still there... Huoyan's temper is like this. No matter what case he gets, he must get to the bottom of it." Uncle Jie didn't finish what he wanted to say before, so he changed his words temporarily.
Liu Gen remained silent. He was thinking about what the Ren family and his son had just said. With Ren Xiaoyao's power, he could definitely find a powerful company. As long as he opened his mouth, others would be eager to take this opportunity to curry favor with him. But why did he do this?
What good thing happened to them? Just because they saved Ren Jiaju's life, would the father and son use this kind of "good thing" to repay him...
"Are you going to the Medical University?" Uncle Jie's question interrupted Liu Gen's thoughts.
"Please go to Daxue Road, we will stop at Shiweitianmen Gate." Liu Gen replied.
Uncle Jie's car drove quickly and smoothly, and it took less than half an hour to drive Liu Gen and Xia Yang to Shiweitian.
After Ouyang Xue finished her basketball practice, she went to the school bathhouse to take a shower. She thought that Xia Yang should still be in the store, and planned to invite her and Liu Gen to eat out at noon. Seeing that it was almost noon, she came out of the dormitory and went straight to Shiweitian, but instead
Liu Gen and Xia Yang were not seen. After asking, they found out that they were picked up by a man driving a Mercedes-Benz. He thought it was Li Jiahe who sent someone to pick them up. He was about to go back to the dormitory when he walked out of the store and saw Liu Gen and Xia Yang.
Get out of a black Audi car.
"Xia Yang, where have you been?" Ouyang Xue asked Xia Yang instead of Liu Gen.
When Xia Yang saw Ouyang Xue, he felt a little unhappy, as if he wanted to show that he was accompanying Liu Gen to meet people: "Deputy Mayor Ren invites Brother Liu Gen to have tea, and I will go with him."
"Deputy Mayor Ren... invite Liu Gen to tea?" Ouyang Xue turned her attention to Liu Gen and asked with a smile on her face: "Liu Gen, when did you become such a big official?"
"Do you think I look like the kind of person who likes to associate with powerful people?" Liu Gen smiled awkwardly, and now he was so full of bitterness that he couldn't pour it out.
"A deputy mayor invites you to drink tea. How much honor does he give you? Why do you still look so depressed?" Ouyang Xue said jokingly.
"That's not like drinking tea, it's better than drinking poison..." Liu Gen swallowed the word "medicine", glanced at Xia Yang, walked away and walked into the store.
Ouyang Xue saw something was wrong with Liu Gen, looked at Xia Yang and said with a smile: "Liu Gen doesn't seem to be happy to drink tea with big shots."
"You were fine just now, why did you change your face when you came back here?" Xia Yang also saw the change in Liu Gen's mood.
Ouyang Xue didn't ask Xia Yang what happened at the home of the deputy mayor. She was not the kind of person who liked to inquire about things. She said to Xia Yang, "Xia Yang, I'll treat you to dinner at noon. What do you want to eat? Just ask."
"Really? Okay, then I won't be polite." Xia Yang said carelessly, "I want to have a French meal."
"You want to eat me up!" Ouyang Xue exclaimed.
"I know your family is rich. A French meal will prevent you, Miss Ouyang, from being destitute!" Xia Yang said as if sarcastically.
Ouyang Xue looked around and reminded Xia Yang in a low voice: "Keep your voice down!"
"What's wrong? Why are you afraid that others will hear such a glorious thing?" Xia Yang said deliberately.
"I'm worried that others are like you, asking me for French meals every day!" Ouyang Xue lowered her voice and said jokingly, deliberately imitating Xia Yang's tone.
Xia Yang was amused by Ouyang Xue's expression. She suddenly realized that this beautiful girl in front of her had an indescribable charm that attracted her. She seemed to have no worries or worries, and was as pure as if she had not been polluted in any way.
She began to like Ouyang Xue a little bit. If there were no willow roots in the middle, maybe she and Ouyang Xue would become a pair of good sisters who talked about everything.
"Let's call Qiu Ye and Wang Xia, just the four of us girls." Xia Yang suggested.
"You really want to make me poor!" Ouyang Xue rolled her eyes at Xia Yang with a smile: "It's a good thing you didn't call Liu Gen, the loser, otherwise, he could eat as much as the four of us girls by himself."
"Haha... I really forgot about Brother Liu Gen, a loser. I'll call him here right away." Xia Yang also knew that Liu Gen's mother said he was a loser when he was a child.
"Forget it, it's just us four girls gathering today." Ouyang Xue pulled Xia Yang and said.
"You are really afraid of Brother Liu Gen, that loser!" Xia Yang laughed and said.
"It's up to the host as you wish. Anyway, it's you, Miss Ouyang, who is treating you. You can invite whomever you like." Xia Yang put his hands behind his back and swayed his body twice as he said.
Liu Gen didn't see Xia Yang and Ouyang Xue follow him into the store. It was lunch time. He thought he would have dinner with them at noon. At this time, there were not many customers in the store, so he planned to finish his lunch as soon as possible.
After helping the store, I turned back and came out. When I saw Ouyang Xue and Xia Yang walking hand in hand towards the school gate, I shouted at the top of my voice: "Aren't you two going to eat?"
When Ouyang Xue and Xia Yang heard Liu Gen's shout, they looked at each other with a smile, as if they were understanding. They didn't answer or turn their heads. They each raised a hand and shook it a few times, then giggled and ran to the school gate hand in hand.
.
Liu Gen felt happy when he saw the two of them getting along so close, and thought it was good. They would resolve their issues.
What is the taste of not being satisfied with food? Willow Root tasted this taste.
Since starting the business, although there have been constant obstacles and troubles, there has never been anything that frightened Liu Gen like today.
He has made up his mind not to join in the sins of the Ren family and his son, but the question is how to refuse without offending others?
Ren Xiaoyao is different from Li Gan. He is a powerful person in Nanhai City, and there are rumors that he is very likely to become the mayor soon. It is risky to offend such a person who can sentence him to life and death with just one sentence.
Quite risky.
Liu Gen is not worried about himself. No matter how Xiaoyao controls the situation, as long as he does not commit any crime in school, there is nothing he can do to him. Food is not the same as food. The heads of the food supervision department, taxation department and industrial and commercial department will only press
It is too easy to find fault with the so-called instructions from superiors to do things that cater to the leaders. They can find thousands of ways.
Liu Gen only ate half of the mutton steamed buns for the first time and couldn't eat anymore.
"Brother Gen, does the food taste bad today?" Chef Niu asked with some anxiety when he saw that Liu Gen had not finished eating.
"No, I have no appetite." Liu Gen replied, and then asked: "Isn't Mr. Chen here yet?"
"He went to the branch." Chef Niu replied.
Liu Gen walked out and saw Zhou Yongheng still learning to bake buns with Hao Qiang, so he walked over and asked strangely: "Brother Hongshu, didn't Mr. Chen change your job for you? Why are you still baking buns here?"
"Haha... Brother Gen, my job is very leisurely. I feel anxious when I have nothing to do. There is no harm in secretly learning some skills from Hao Qiang." Zhou Yongheng answered with a smile.
"Manager Zhou has almost surpassed me." Hao Qiang said: "I didn't understand many of the questions he asked before."
"What questions are you asking?" Liu Gen asked curiously.
"How much flour, how much water, how much salt and alkali to add, how long it takes to knead the dough, etc. Manager Zhou asked all these questions," Hao Qiang answered.
"Brother Hongshu, do you want to learn to work alone?" Liu Gen asked deliberately with a serious face.
"Haha... I want to standardize the various varieties sold in our store." Brother Hongshu replied cheerfully. He knew that Liu Gen was joking when he asked this.
"Standardization...oh...that's a great idea of yours!" Liu Gen understood what Zhou Yongheng meant and thought that he had indeed used the wrong person: "You take a break first, I have something to tell you."
