"I was in a meeting just now and my cell phone was muted. What happened? Do you have anything to do with me?" Gu Li explained that as the deputy mayor, Gu Li often participates in meetings and research work.
"Ah, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if you are free tonight? I would like to treat you to a meal?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Of course I'm free." Gu Li said: "I know that a new seafood restaurant has opened on the beach. I heard that the seafood cooked there is delicious. How about we go there to try it tonight?"
"Okay, I've been craving seafood lately." As long as he can be alone with Gu Li, Ma Xiaoyao doesn't care what he eats.
"Okay, you can just take the car to the beach. The name of that seafood restaurant is Delicious Seafood Restaurant. Call me when you get there." Gu Li said with a smile: "I still have some work to deal with now. I've finished it.
I'll be there right away."
"Okay, it's settled." Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and headed straight for the beach.
As soon as he arrived at the beach, Ma Xiaoyao's cell phone rang. At first, Ma Xiaoyao thought it was Gu Li. Unexpectedly, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Ma Xiaoyao hesitated and pressed the answer button.
"Brother, where are you?" A little girl's voice came from the mobile phone.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment. He already recognized Liu Siqi's voice: "Miss Liu...you have something to do with me?"
"Oh, big brother, didn't I tell you before, don't call me Miss Liu, call me Siqi!" Liu Siqi sounded very dissatisfied.
"Oh... I forgot... Well, Siqi, what do you want from me?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Are you free tonight? Come to my house for dinner. I asked the nanny to cook a lot of food today." Liu Siqi invited.
"I'm afraid I can't do it tonight, I've already made an appointment." Ma Xiaoyao declined politely.
"Ah? Can you postpone the date?" Liu Siqi sounded a little disappointed: "I asked the nanny to cook a lot of dishes. If you don't come, it will all be wasted..."
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Siqi, the person I have an appointment with tonight is very important and I can't shirk it. Well... let's go to your house for dinner another day." What a joke, how could Ma Xiaoyao refuse the date with Gu Li?
"You really can't come to my house tonight?" Liu Siqi asked unwillingly.
"I really can't go." Ma Xiaoyao said apologetically.
"Well, let's wait another day." Liu Siqi said in despair.
"Siqi, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone, then raised his head and started looking for the "delicious seafood restaurant". Soon, Ma Xiaoyao found it diagonally opposite.
The delicious seafood restaurant is a three-story building with quite luxurious decoration. There is a row of cars parked at the door, and business is booming from the looks of it.
Ma Xiaoyao walked into the seafood restaurant, booked a private room, took out his mobile phone and called Gu Li, and told Gu Li the number of the private room he had reserved.
More than ten minutes later, Gu Li arrived at the seafood restaurant.
Today Gu Li wore a women's suit and looked very energetic and beautiful.
The two ordered some seafood and a few bottles of beer, and ate and drank happily.
Ma Xiaoyao told Gu Li that he was going to Dongcheng County to investigate tomorrow. Gu Li didn't say much. He just told Ma Xiaoyao to be cautious and use his brain more, especially when dealing with people below.
Be more attentive.
After eating, Ma Xiaoyao and Gu Li were not in a hurry to go home, but took a walk on the beach together.
The slight sea breeze was blowing, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks could be heard from time to time. Ma Xiaoyao was in a very happy mood. At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao wished that time would stop so that he could stay with Gu Li forever.
Together, Ma Xiaoyao knew that he was hopelessly in love with Gu Li. What made Ma Xiaoyao most distressed was that his love could only be buried deep in his heart, at least for the time being. Gu Li was too good.
Ma Xiaoyao has a low self-esteem and feels that he is not worthy of Gu Li in any aspect. He wanted to confess to Gu Li several times, but every time when the most critical moment came, Ma Xiaoyao backed down because he was afraid of being rejected by Gu Li.
, once the window paper is broken, he and Gu Li can only have two relationships, one is lovers and the other is strangers. As for the current friendship, it will definitely not be maintained anymore.
Facing the endless sea, Ma Xiaoyao secretly swore in his heart: I must work hard and strive to become a human being as soon as possible, so that I can be worthy of Sister Gu and have the courage to confess my love.
…
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao came to the Health Bureau. To Ma Xiaoyao's surprise, Kong Liang, Qin Yong, Wang Han and Chen Xiaofei also came to work early.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao walking into the Food Safety Department, Kong Liang, Qin Yong and others hurriedly greeted him respectfully. Ever since Chen Meihong was kicked out of the Health Bureau by Ma Xiaoyao, everyone in the Food Safety Department has been in awe of Ma Xiaoyao.
No one dares to show off to Ma Xiaoyao. It’s not easy to find a stable job these days.
After a brief rest, Ma Xiaoyao led Kong Liang, Qin Yong, Wang Han and Chen Xiaofei out of the Food Safety Department.
After going downstairs, Ma Xiaoyao told Kong Liang: "Find a car. Remember, find a better car."
"Hey." Kong Liangming nodded and walked quickly towards the backyard.
Ma Xiaoyao turned around and glanced at Qin Yong and others who were silent: "What? You three are so unwilling to go to Dongcheng County with me?"
"Ah? No... no..." Qin Yong and others shook their heads repeatedly: "We are all willing to go... willing to go..."
Ma Xiaoyao twisted his mouth: "Since you are willing to go, why are you three looking so sad? Also, in the Food Safety Department just now, I asked if anyone was willing to join the investigation team, why didn't you three say anything?"
"We...we..." Qin Yong and others didn't know how to answer.
"Don't worry." Ma Xiaoyao said: "I won't let you suffer in vain. When I come back from Dongcheng County, I will apply to Director Ding to give you a compensation for your hard work. Oh, no, I should give you a salary.
A bonus.”
"Bonus?" Qin Yong and the others' eyes suddenly lit up: "Deputy Section Chief Ma... you... are you telling the truth?" Money is a good thing, and everyone likes it.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I, Ma Xiaoyao, always mean what I say. As long as our investigation goes well this time, I will definitely apply for a bonus for you when we come back." Ma Xiaoyao knew that he was not very popular in the Food Safety Department, so he wanted to pass it.
This investigation was an opportunity to win over people's hearts, and now it seems that the effect is pretty good.
"Thank you, Deputy Section Chief Ma. We will work hard and never embarrass you!" Qin Yong and the other three promised in unison.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I hope you will do what you say, but don't let me down."
At this time, a Jinbei van slowly stopped in front of Ma Xiaoyao and others. The window was lowered, revealing Kong Liang's handsome face.
"Get in the car." Ma Xiaoyao opened the door first and got into the van. Qin Yong, Wang Han and Chen Xiaofei also got into the van one after another.
After Ma Xiaoyao and others were seated, Kong Liang drove the van out of the health bureau.
Ma Xiaoyao leaned on the soft back of the car, took out a box of cigarettes, and divided the cigarettes among Qin Yong and others. Kong Liang could concentrate more on driving, so Ma Xiaoyao did not divide the cigarettes among Kong Liang.
Qin Yong took out his lighter and diligently helped Ma Xiaoyao light the cigarette.
Ma Xiaoyao took a puff of cigarette and said to Kong Liang: "Kong Liang, do you know the way to Dongcheng County?"
Kong Liangming nodded: "I know you. I've been to Dongcheng County before."
"That's good." Ma Xiaoyao nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, Kong Liang, yesterday I saw you subdued Lu Guang in a few clicks, and your attack was very clean. Have you practiced martial arts?
"
"No, my family is poor, but there is no money for me to practice martial arts." Kong Liang said while driving the car: "I just like to watch martial arts movies, write down the martial arts moves on them, and then practice hard by myself. Over time,
, actually let me practice some moves, Deputy Section Chief Ma, I am not bragging, usually ten or eight young men are no match for me at all."
Ma Xiaoyao's expression was somewhat moved: "Self-taught? Kong Liang, I really didn't realize that you are actually a martial arts genius."
Kong Liang was a little embarrassed to be praised by Ma Xiaoyao: "What a martial arts genius. I just have a flexible mind and can endure hardships. I also like to think about it. I have practiced a few tricks casually. At best, I am a wild man. Compared with those who have received orthodox training,
Those who are trained in martial arts are far behind."
"Kong Liang, you don't have to be too modest. I have also watched some martial arts competitions on TV. Those martial arts players are not much better than you. Some of them are even not as good as you. If you go to participate in the martial arts competition, you will definitely achieve success.
Very good results." Ma Xiaoyao praised.
Kong Liang was very happy after being praised a few times by Ma Xiaoyao. As a subordinate, who doesn't want to be praised by the leader?
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, I went to the Internet cafe last night to check the information of Tianhai Meat Co., Ltd. in Dongcheng County. I found that Tianhai Meat Co., Ltd. is quite strong, with fixed assets of over 10 million. It is a well-known large enterprise in Dongcheng County. It has been criticized many times.
It was well received by the county leaders and was hailed as a civilized and characteristic enterprise in Dongcheng County." Kong Liang recounted the information he had reviewed.
"An enterprise with civilized characteristics?" Ma Xiaoyao sneered: "This Tianhai company is pretty good at pretending..."
"Deputy Section Chief Ma, this Tianhai Company has a very high status in Dongcheng County. It may be difficult for us to investigate..." Kong Liang said worriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hands indifferently: "Don't worry, we are here to investigate on behalf of the Municipal Health Bureau this time. With Tianhai Company's courage, he does not dare to embarrass us. Besides, we will not investigate Tianhai Company alone."
, when we arrive in Dongcheng County, I will contact the Dongcheng County Health Bureau and ask them to send someone to accompany us to investigate Tianhai Company." Ma Xiaoyao had already thought of a plan.
