Gu Xianlong did not leave in a hurry, but specifically ordered the kitchen to cook several expensive dishes. These expensive dishes were all delivered to Ma Xiaoyao's private room. In addition, Gu Xianlong also asked the waiter to send Ma Xiaoyao two bottles of precious red wine.
, finally met Ma Xiaoyao and came to the hotel for dinner, Gu Xianlong must have spared no effort to please and flatter him. This is the benefit of holding power. Without you having to ask, someone will help you get things done and let you enjoy the highest level of treatment.
Therefore, many people want to hold power. Only by holding power in their hands can they live a superior life and enjoy the days of being complimented by others. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and competing for power, but no matter what time, conscience must not be annihilated.
In a sentence: God is watching what people do, and you must do things worthy of your own conscience!
…
In the private room.
Wang Aiqin looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a smile: "That's good. Even when you go to the bathroom, you can play a hero and save the beauty. I admire you, I really admire you."
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "You...you know everything?"
"Of course I would be worried if you didn't come back for such a long time, so I went out to look for you... Then I saw you showing off your power in the corridor and playing a hero saving the beauty... tsk tsk tsk... I really
I admire you so much." Wang Aiqin said with admiration.
"This is just a coincidence. You also know that I hate bullying others. That waiter was really pitiful, so I..." Ma Xiaoyao explained.
"If that waiter were a man, would you help him like this?" Wang Aiqin asked.
"Absolutely!" Ma Xiaoyao said without thinking: "Whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you are treated unfairly, I will help..."
"What you say is beautiful, but I don't know if you think so in your heart." Wang Aiqin curled her lips.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I think so in my heart. Am I so untrustworthy in your eyes?"
"Seeing that you are anxious, I was joking with you just now." Wang Aiqin suddenly laughed: "How could I not trust you? I was just joking with you just now, but you didn't know you took it seriously."
"You...just use me to have fun..." Ma Xiaoyao said dissatisfied.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.
Ma Xiaoyao walked over, reached out and opened the door, and found several waiters standing outside the door. Each waiter was holding a plate of dishes. The waiter standing at the back was holding two bottles of beautifully packaged red wine: "
What are you doing?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
"The boss asked us to deliver the food." A waiter smiled.
"Is it wrong? I didn't ask for food?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.
"These dishes are a gift from our boss." The waiter explained: "Also, our boss said that he will treat you to this meal today, so you don't have to pay." After saying that, several waiters walked into the private room and took the dishes.
and red wine were placed on the table, and then several waiters left the private room.
Wang Aiqin laughed and said: "Being an official is good, and there are often people who flatter you."
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his lips: "Sister Wang, just make fun of me."
"I'm not making fun of you, I'm telling the truth." Wang Aiqin glanced at the dishes that were just served: "These dishes are very expensive, and these two bottles of red wine are collector's edition... This hotel
The boss is really willing to spend money."
"I won't eat for free. I will pay the bill later." Ma Xiaoyao is not used to owing favors.
"You want to pay?" Wang Aiqin smiled: "The prices of the food and wine on this table are not low. Do you have enough money?"
"Don't I still have you? If I don't have enough money, just lend me some. Don't worry, I promise to pay you back!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Wang Aiqin rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaoyao: "I knew you would take advantage of me... Okay, stop talking, come and eat quickly, the food will be cold if you don't eat it... We can't waste such good food."
As he spoke, Wang Aiqin picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the vegetables.
Ma Xiaoyao stopped talking nonsense, pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating and drinking.
A few minutes later, the hotel owner Gu Xianlong knocked on the door and came in. He poured wine for Ma Xiaoyao with a respectful face. Ma Xiaoyao did not put on airs and chatted politely with Gu Xianlong. When he saw Wang Aiqin was also in the private room,
Gu Xianlong was very surprised. Wang Aiqin was also a famous person in Dongcheng County. Of course Gu Xianlong knew him, but he didn't have any contact with her.
In terms of business status, Gu Xianlong is inferior to Wang Aiqin, so when facing Wang Aiqin, Gu Xianlong was very polite and respectful.
After toasting Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin with a glass of wine, Gu Xianlong left wisely.
Half an hour later, Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin had eaten and drank enough. After a brief rest, they got up and left the private room. After arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Ma Xiaoyao went to the counter to pay, but the counter clerk did not accept Ma Xiaoyao at all.
Regarding Xiaoyao's money, it was said that Gu Xianlong had already said hello and would not accept Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin's money.
Ma Xiaoyao insisted on giving money, but in the end the counter clerk had no choice but to call Gu Xianlong over via the internal phone.
It was useless for Gu Xianlong to come. Ma Xiaoyao wanted to settle the accounts personally. In the end, he had no choice but to give Ma Xiaoyao a 30% discount and charge the cost price.
After settling the accounts, Ma Xiaoyao greeted Gu Xianlong and then led Wang Aiqin out of the hotel.
After watching Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin leave, Gu Xianlong nodded slightly: "It is rumored that Ma Xiaoyao is very principled and never accepts gifts or bribes. Now it seems that the rumors are true."
…
After coming out of the hotel, Ma Xiaoyao and Wang Aiqin separated. Wang Aiqin originally wanted to invite Ma Xiaoyao to spend the night in her villa, but Ma Xiaoyao made excuses to refuse. Under Wang Aiqin's resentful eyes, Ma Xiaoyao returned to his residence by car.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao took a car to the County Public Security Bureau.
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, you are here." Director Xu Qiang quickly came up to greet him.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "How was Ha Teng yesterday? No one saw him, right?"
"Uh... this... yesterday... what..." Xu Qiang's words suddenly became hesitant.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
The corner of Xu Qiang's mouth twitched: "County Magistrate Li came last evening..."
"Li Ming!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "What is Li Ming doing here!"
"County Magistrate Li wants to meet Ha Teng..." Xu Qiang replied.
"You didn't agree, did you?" Ma Xiaoyao's face darkened.
"Well...I..." Xu Qiang smiled bitterly: "He is the county magistrate...I can't stop him at all..."
"Trash!" Ma Xiaoyao became anxious upon hearing this, pointed at Xu Qiang's nose and yelled: "What did I tell you yesterday? No one is allowed to see Ha Teng, and you actually turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Xu Qiang said with a grimace: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I have always kept your words in mind and personally guarded the Public Security Bureau and did not allow anyone to approach Ha Teng. Later, County Magistrate Li came and said that he wanted to see Ha Teng.
, I didn’t agree at first, and County Magistrate Li rushed into the interrogation room forcefully. I...I couldn’t stop him at all..." Xu Qiang was really depressed. He was just a small director, how could he dare to stop County Magistrate Li Ming?
?
"Then why didn't you call me yesterday!" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"I...I don't dare...I'm afraid of being scolded by you..." Xu Qiang whispered.
"Trash!" Ma Xiaoyao glared at Xu Qiang fiercely: "Take me to see Ha Teng!" At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao's mood became extremely bad. Li Ming saw Ha Teng yesterday and didn't know what he would say...
…
"Yes, yes." Xu Qiang hurriedly led Ma Xiaoyao to the interrogation room.
After being detained for a night, Ha Teng looked obviously haggard. He leaned on the back of his chair and lowered his head. He didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing the sound of opening the door, Ha Teng slowly raised his head and saw Ma Xiaoyao and Xu Qiang.
Walking in one after another, Ha Teng suddenly showed a smile: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, you are here."
Ma Xiaoyao looked at Ha Teng quietly: "Li Ming came to see you yesterday?"
"Yes." Haten nodded.
"Hateng, I don't care what Li Ming told you, I just want to advise you: don't believe Li Ming, he is a hypocrite, he is not worthy of your trust!" Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.
Ha Teng chirped: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, you have great opinions on County Magistrate Li."
"Don't change the subject." Ma Xiaoyao stared closely into Haten's eyes: "Tell me, how do you plan to reply to me?"
"I want to smoke a cigarette," Hatten said.
Ma Xiaoyao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it himself and handed it to Ha Teng.
Hatten took the cigarette, put it in his mouth and took two strong puffs, then exhaled a puff of smoke: "Deputy County Magistrate Ma, I plead guilty. I stole all those sewer manhole covers."
"Why did you steal the well cover?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"To sell for money," Harten replied.
"Selling money?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted: "Don't you think this excuse is too far-fetched!"
Hatten shook his head: "I don't think it's far-fetched, because what I said is true. I did steal the manhole cover to sell it for money."
"A manhole cover is not worth much at all." Ma Xiaoyao said with a serious face.
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma should know the principle of adding up a little makes a lot, right?" Haten said with a smile: "A manhole cover may not be worth a lot of money, but what about ten manhole covers? What about a hundred manhole covers? Ten thousand manhole covers
Where is your son?"
Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched a few times: "Hateng, are you really not going to tell the truth?"
"I'm telling the truth. Deputy County Magistrate Ma doesn't believe it, so I can't help it. Well, I've said everything I need to say. If you have nothing else to do, please come back. I'm very sleepy and want to sleep for a while."
Haten said calmly.
"Hateng... is it worth it for you to take all the blame on yourself? Are you so willing to help the mastermind take the blame?" Ma Xiaoyao asked unwillingly.
