"Mayor Gu, are you free at noon? I have made an appointment with Mr. Guan for dinner, so you can come with me and let's discuss investment matters together," Wang Shuhai said.
"Noon? Guan Haiyang?" Gu Li frowned immediately.
"Yes, are you free?" Wang Shuhai asked: "Mr. Guan is planning to make a big investment in Lizhou City this time. We must entertain them well."
Gu Li understood in an instant that Guan Haiyang must have invited her to dinner but was rejected, and then went to Wang Shuhai for help. Wang Shuhai couldn't refuse because of his feelings, so he called her. Thinking of this, Gu Li was very angry.
, this Guan Haiyang is really haunted.
"Mayor Gu? Why don't you speak?" Wang Shuhai asked.
Gu Li breathed out: "Secretary Wang, I have made an appointment at noon, and I really don't have time..."
"Have you made an appointment? Who have you made an appointment with? If you are not the kind of person who insists on seeing you, just postpone the dinner." Wang Shuhai said: "Our most important task now is to receive Mr. Guan and finalize the investment as soon as possible.
"
"I made an appointment with my husband..." Gu Li was interrupted by Wang Shuhai before she could finish her words.
"Have you made an appointment with your husband? That would be easier. You are a couple. When can't we meet? It has to be at noon today?" Wang Shuhai said: "That's it. Explain it to your husband and say that you have to go to the reception at noon.
A very important guest cannot have dinner with him. I am sure your husband will understand. Okay, you quickly pack up and go to the Bibo Hotel later. I have reserved a private room there." Guli could not refuse.
, Wang Shuhai hung up the phone.
Gu Li smiled bitterly: "Guan Haiyang is really capable. He can actually invite Wang Shuhai to be a lobbyist... What should I do? Do I really want to see Guan Haiyang?" If it were anyone else, Gu Li would not hesitate.
Wang Shuhai refused, but Wang Shuhai couldn't. After all, Wang Shuhai was the municipal party committee secretary, so Gu Li had to give him some face.
Just as Gu Li was deep in thought, her phone vibrated. Gu Li glanced at the screen and saw that it was Ma Xiaoyao calling.
Gu Li took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
"Honey, I'm waiting for you at the gate of the city hall. When will you come down?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"I..." Gu Li smiled bitterly: "Xiaoyao, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to dinner at noon."
"Why?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.
Gu Li shook her head: "Wang Shuhai, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, just called me and asked me to accompany him to receive an investor at noon... Xiaoyao, don't be angry, I will accompany you in the evening."
"It doesn't matter, you have work to do, we and I can have dinner anytime." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Alas..." Gu Li sighed: "Don't look at me as the mayor. I seem to be quite prosperous, but in fact there are many things that I can't implement according to my wishes. I am really helpless." Gu Li was purely feeling this.
However, in front of outsiders, Gu Li has to maintain the image of a strong woman. Even if she feels bitter in her heart, she will not speak out. Only when facing Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li will show her helpless and bitter side.
"I understand." Ma Xiaoyao said: "Honey, please look away and stop caring about those rules and regulations. Life is not easy, so you should try your best to live a happier life."
"Well, that's it. You can go eat by yourself at noon, and I'll stay with you in the evening." Gu Li nodded and hung up the phone.
…
The entrance to the city hall.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his phone and sighed softly: "A very good lunch was ruined like this."
"Didi didi..."
A brand new extended sedan slowly stopped at the gate of the city hall, "Ping Pong..." The door opened, and two men got out, both wearing black suits. One was tall and tall, wearing sunglasses.
Knowing that he was a bodyguard, there was another man with neatly combed hair and a red tie around his neck. He was not very tall, just over 1.7 meters tall. He exuded an aura of aura, and you could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at the stretched car parked in front of him and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "This car should be quite expensive."
"It must be a lot of money." Lei Dazhuang, who was standing aside, nodded: "I seem to have seen this kind of car in the newspaper. It seems to cost more than two million."
"More than two million?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "The life of a rich person is luxury." After Ma Xiaoyao sighed, he waved his hand towards Lei Dazhuang: "Let's go back." Just before Ma Xiaoyao
When he was about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of a person, a woman, walking out of the municipal government office building. She was Gu Li. When she saw Gu Li coming out, Ma Xiaoyao stopped subconsciously.
Gu Li seemed to have seen Ma Xiaoyao, and walked directly towards the gate. A black car slowly followed behind Gu Li. Looking at the license plate, it should be Gu Li's special car. Logically speaking, Gu Li should get in at this moment.
The car left, but after seeing Ma Xiaoyao, Gu Li changed her mind and walked directly to the gate. At this time, Gu Li saw another person, a person she didn't want to see at all. This person was Guan Haiyang
.
Why is Guan Haiyang here? Gu Li frowned slowly.
When Ma Xiaoyao was about to step forward to talk to Gu Li, he was unexpectedly jumped in by someone. This person was Guan Haiyang.
I saw Guan Haiyang walking towards Guli with a smile on his face: "Mayor Gu, I'm here to pick you up for dinner." At this point, Guan Haiyang added another sentence: "Secretary Wang asked me to pick you up.
.”
Gu Li's expression was very cold: "Thank you, Mr. Guan, for your kindness. I have my own car, so I won't bother Mr. Guan." After saying that, Gu Li dropped Guan Haiyang, then walked towards Ma Xiaoyao, tensed.
Her face instantly melted, revealing a warm smile: "Xiaoyao, you haven't left yet."
Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "I was about to leave, but unexpectedly you came out, so I'm waiting for you here."
Seeing Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao talking and laughing, Guan Haiyang, who was standing aside, suddenly felt jealous. Where did this man come from? How could Gu Li treat him so warmly?
"Honey, come back early in the evening. I will cook myself and let you have a taste of my cooking." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Wife!" Guan Haiyang's eyes suddenly widened. He rushed to Ma Xiaoyao in a few steps and stared at Ma Xiaoyao with his eyes: "What did you call Mayor Gu just now?"
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and looked at Guan Haiyang suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"You just called Mayor Gu's wife!" Guan Haiyang glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "You called Mayor Gu's wife!!!"
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Gu Li is my wife, of course I have to call her wife. Is there a problem with this?"
"Gu Li is your wife!?" Guan Haiyang's eyes widened a little more: "You said Gu Li is your wife?"
"Yes, Gu Li is indeed my wife, and we are registered legal wives." Ma Xiaoyao looked at Guan Haiyang in surprise. He didn't understand why Guan Haiyang was so excited.
Guan Haiyang turned his head and asked Gu Li: "Is this person your husband?"
Gu Li nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, he is my husband."
After getting Gu Li's exact answer, Guan Haiyang's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect to see Gu Li's husband here. What a surprise. Guan Haiyang took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Gu Li's husband.
Surprised Ma Xiaoyao: "I really didn't expect that I, Guan Haiyang, would meet Mayor Gu's husband here. Surprise, what a surprise!" As he spoke, Guan Haiyang stretched out his right hand towards Ma Xiaoyao: "Let's get to know each other.
My name is Guan Haiyang, and I am the general manager of a company."
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Guan Haiyang greeted him politely. Ma Xiaoyao didn't want to be too cold. He stretched out his hand and shook Guan Haiyang's hand briefly: "My name is Ma Xiaoyao."
"Mr. Ma, you are so lucky to be able to marry such a capable and beautiful wife as Mayor Gu! I really admire you!" Guan Haiyang said.
"Boss Guan deserves the award, I'm just lucky." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand modestly.
"By the way, I haven't asked Mr. Ma where he can be better?" Guan Haiyang said with a smile: "Looking at Mr. Ma's extraordinary temperament, he should be a big shot!"
"What a big shot? The words big shot and I are not related to each other." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "I work in Dongcheng County, Lanhai City, and now I am the executive deputy county magistrate of Dongcheng County."
"Executive deputy county magistrate?" Guan Haiyang's expression suddenly became very surprised: "No way? Mr. Ma, are you kidding me? As far as I know, Lanhai City is a prefecture-level city, so Dongcheng County
The executive deputy county magistrate is also a deputy division level cadre. How can you, a deputy division level cadre, marry Mayor Gu as your wife? This is incredible."
What Guan Haiyang said was quite damaging. It probably meant that Ma Xiaoyao was of low status and not worthy of Gu Li at all.
After listening to Guan Haiyang's words, Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Guan, the main reason I am looking for a husband is to see if he truly loves me and loves me. I never care about his identity or status." Gu Li said in a cold tone.
Guan Haiyang's face trembled slightly: "Mayor Gu, don't get me wrong, I have no other intention. I am just curious about what method Mr. Ma used to win your favor..."
"This is a secret between our husband and wife. Mr. Guan doesn't need to know." Gu Li's tone was still very cold: "Mr. Guan, didn't you make an appointment with Secretary Wang and me for dinner? It's getting late now, let's go quickly.
Don't keep Secretary Wang waiting too long." After saying that, Gu Li turned to look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, you go back first, we will talk in the evening." After saying that, Gu Li turned around and got into her car,
The driver drove the car slowly away.
Guan Haiyang took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao and then left in the car.
