Hearing An Zhe call her by his first name, and his tone seemed not quite right, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel angry, and hurriedly went to An Zhe's office.
Opening the door and going in, Anzhe was sitting at his desk with a sullen expression.
"Boss, I'm here." Qiao Liang walked over.
An Zhe stared at Qiao Liang: "Tell me, what are you doing?"
"I..." Seeing An Zhe's expression, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel guilty, a little nervous, and stammered, "I, I didn't do anything."
"Besides, what are you not doing?" Anzhe continued to glare, "Be honest, why did you invite me to dinner tonight? Why were you so happy when you heard that I was going to go there at the weekend?"
Upon hearing what An Zhe said, Qiao Liang realized that he knew something. Since An Zhe asked this, he could not and did not dare to hide it anymore, so he honestly told Mrs. Liao about coming to Jiangzhou and said that he did not want to accompany her.
She was eating and didn't want to accompany her around on weekends, so I made this excuse.
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, An Zhe looked at Qiao Liang with a half-smile but not a smile: "Why don't you want to accompany Mrs. Liao?"
"This... this..." Qiao Liang lowered his head, hesitating and unable to speak.
An Zhe snorted: "Use me as a shield, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Qiao Liang glanced at An Zhe secretly. He didn't seem angry.
This made Qiao Liang feel a little more at ease, and said: "Boss, you...how did you know?"
"How do you think I know?" An Zhe picked up the phone and fiddled with it a few times, then handed it to Qiao Liang, "See for yourself."
Qiao Liang took it and took a look. It turned out to be a text message sent by Lu Qian. The content was: Mr. An, my mother, Mrs. Liao, the wife of your boss, came to Jiangzhou today to see her baby daughter. According to Mrs. Liao’s wish, she wanted to
Your personal attendant Xiao Liangzi will accompany you to dinner, and at the same time ask Xiao Liangzi to accompany you around Jiangzhou on weekends. We had made an appointment with Xiao Liangzi a few days ago, but just now Xiao Liangzi told me that you will not be allowed to go to Jiangzhou tonight and on weekends.
There are arrangements, and he wants to accompany you. I specially ask Mr. An for your mercy... In addition, Mrs. Liao's visit to Jiangzhou this time is purely a private matter and she does not want to alarm any leaders. I ask Mr. An for your understanding.
After reading the text message, Qiao Liang understood that she was the one who was doing it, and this girl Lu Qian was even more so. She went straight to An Zhe.
Qiao Liang returned the phone to An Zhe and grinned at An Zhe.
"What are you grinning at?" Anzhe glared again.
Qiao Liang scratched his head: "Boss, this is also a helpless act of mine. Please understand me, boss."
Anzhe chuckled: "It seems that I should understand, it seems that I should fulfill it."
"Thank you, boss." Qiao Liang felt happy.
An Zhe said calmly: "You're welcome. I've thought about it. You don't need to treat me to dinner tonight, and you don't need to follow me down there on the weekend."
"Ah?" Qiao Liang looked at An Zhe with his mouth half-opened. This guy understands this and wants to fulfill it like this.
An Zhe laughed again: "What, I don't understand enough? I don't fulfill it enough?"
"Boss, this, this..." Qiao Liang looked bitter.
"What about this and that?" An Zhe said simply, "That's it, you don't have to accompany me tonight or on the weekend. You must accompany Mrs. Liao honestly and do your best to accompany me. If something goes wrong,
Let me ask you a question."
"Boss, is this also work?" Qiao Liang continued to grimace.
"Yes, this is not only work, but also very important work." An Zhe nodded.
"But, Lu Qian also told you just now that Mrs. Liao's visit to Jiangzhou is purely a private matter. How can this private matter be regarded as work?" Qiao Liang argued.
"This may be a private matter for Mrs. Liao, but for me, this is work, and even more so for you." An Zhe said without doubt.
Qiao Liang rolled his eyes: "Well, since you said so, why don't you accompany her to dinner tonight, and you can accompany her for a walk on weekends."
"Confused, you didn't see the last sentence in Lu Qian's text message. Mrs. Liao came to Jiangzhou this time and did not want to alarm any leaders. Since she has this intention, of course I have to respect her wishes. Of course, it is not convenient for me to come forward. Not only can I not come forward,
And even if you know, you have to pretend not to know." An Zhe said.
"Then I can be considered a first-level leader." Qiao Liang was dissatisfied.
An Zhe couldn't help but want to laugh: "Boy, tell me, in front of me and in the eyes of Mrs. Liao, what level of leader do you consider yourself?"
"Alas..." Qiao Liang sighed. Indeed, in front of An Zhe and Lu Qian's mother, she was just a little ant.
An Zhe continued: "Even if you are considered a first-level leader, Mrs. Liao obviously means that she does not want to alarm the municipal leaders in Jiangzhou, and you are obviously not. Besides, she asked you to accompany her by name, so you have no choice.
, you must go honestly."
"Is this an order?" Qiao Liang said.
"Yes, order." Angeliso nodded.
Qiao Liang nodded helplessly: "Well, since it is an order, I will obey it."
A smile appeared on An Zhe's lips: "You should reply to Lu Qian now."
Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Lu Qian: "Little donkey, you won, Mr. An is merciful..."
Immediately I received a reply from Lu Qian: "Ah ha, Xiao Liangzi, I asked you to go too far. Hehe, I can't find an excuse this time. Come to this bureau honestly after get off work..."
Qiao Liang put away the phone with a wry smile and looked at An Zhe: "I've replied, I'll be there after get off work."
An Zhe nodded, thought for a moment and said: "Although Mrs. Liao's visit to Jiangzhou is a private matter, you must keep in touch with me at any time during her activities in Jiangzhou. At the same time, you must do two things: first, pay attention to confidentiality
, don’t tell anyone about Mrs. Liao’s coming to Jiangzhou; secondly, we must ensure Mrs. Liao’s safety..."
From An Zhe's words, Qiao Liang realized that although An Zhe did not come forward, he attached great importance to Mrs. Liao's coming to Jiangzhou. This was obviously because of her identity and he was obviously responsible for Liao Gufeng.
After get off work, Qiao Liang went directly to a Cantonese-style restaurant booked by Lu Qian. He went directly to a private room and opened the door. Lu Qian and Mrs. Liao had already arrived. Lu Qian was sitting at the dining table with her mother, chatting affectionately and happily. .
Seeing Qiao Liang come in, Lu Qian burst into laughter. Lu Qian's mother looked at Qiao Liang gently with a smile on her face.
Qiao Liang greeted Lu Qian's mother respectfully: "Hello, aunt."
"Come on, Xiao Qiao, come and sit -" Lu Qian's mother greeted her warmly.
Qiao Liang went over and sat next to Lu Qian's mother, while Lu Qian sat across from her.
Then Lu Qian ordered the waiter to serve the food.
Qiao Liang was about to reach into his pocket for a cigarette out of habit, but stopped again. They were all ladies, and it seemed rude to smoke in front of Lu Qian's mother.
Then Qiao Liang said: "Auntie, are you from Huang?"
Lu Qian's mother shook her head: "I came directly from the capital to see Xiaoqian, and then I went to Huangyuan to see Lao Liao on the weekend."
Qiao Liang nodded: "It's quite hard for you to travel around three places."
"Haha, I can't help it. Who allowed the old and the young to work in Jiangdong? I always miss them in the capital." Lu Qian's mother looked at Qiao Liang while smiling, "Xiao Qiao, how are you doing recently?"
"It's okay, it's okay, everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie," Qiao Liang said hurriedly.
Lu Qian's mother said again: "I came to Jiangzhou this time for you to accompany me. I didn't delay your other matters, right?"
Just as Qiao Liang was about to speak, Lu Qian took over and said: "Mom, why didn't you delay? Director Qiao is a person who does big things. He has important work arrangements tonight and on the weekend. He wouldn't have time. Fortunately, Mr. An is merciful, otherwise
He doesn’t have time to come over and accompany you.”
When Lu Qian said this, Qiao Liang was immediately embarrassed and couldn't help but glare at Lu Qian. Lu Qian curled her lips and smiled proudly.
Lu Qian's mother said: "Oh, if that's the case, then I'd be a little uneasy."
Qiao Liang said hurriedly: "Auntie, it's okay. In fact, my arrangements for tonight and the weekend are not very important. I heard that you came to Jiangzhou. Secretary An paid great attention to it and specially asked me to accompany you. In fact, he also wanted to come and see you.
You, I just respect your wishes..."
"Yes." Lu Qian's mother nodded, "My coming to Jiangzhou is a private matter, and it is not appropriate to disturb the leaders of Jiangzhou. I accept Lao An's wishes. You can express my gratitude to him later."
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded.
"Director Qiao, please also express my gratitude to Mr. An on my behalf." Lu Qian said playfully.
Qiao Liang glared at Lu Qian again, and Lu Qian covered her mouth and smiled.
Seeing Qiao Liang and Lu Qian like this, Lu Qian's mother couldn't help but smile, with the tolerance and love of her elders in her smile.
At this time, the food and wine were served. Lu Qian ordered not many dishes, but they were all exquisite. The wine was red wine.
After pouring the wine, Lu Qian's mother looked at Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, this is our second time to eat."
"Yes, the second time." Qiao Liang raised her wine glass respectfully, "Auntie, welcome to Jiangzhou. You have worked hard along the way."
Lu Qian's mother and Qiao Liang clinked glasses. Qiao Liang deliberately made the rim of his glass lower than Lu Qian's mother's, which showed his respect for his elders.
Then Lu Qian and Qiao Liang clinked glasses. Qiao Liang raised the glasses. Lu Qian refused to show weakness and raised the glasses too. Qiao Liang raised them again and touched them again.
Lu Qian pouted and looked at her mother: "Mom, look, Qiao Liang is disrespectful to me."
Lu Qian's mother laughed: "Xiao Qian, you are not as big as Xiao Qiao. He is the brother and you are the sister. It is natural to clink glasses like this."
Qiao Liang grinned after hearing this. Lu Qian thought these words were very pleasant and looked at Qiao Liang happily: "Brother Qiao, Sister Lu, I'd like to give you my respects."
Qiao Liang grinned again. Although Lu Qian's mother said this very appropriately, Qiao Liang always felt that something was wrong.
Then everyone ate, drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.
After a while, Lu Qian's mother got up and went to the bathroom, and Lu Qian went with her.
Unfortunately, the bathroom upstairs was broken, so they went downstairs and walked straight to the bathroom through the hall.
There were many guests in the hall downstairs, and it was noisy and lively.
When she came out of the bathroom, Lu Qian held her mother's arm. As she walked, Lu Qian's mother said, "This restaurant's business is really good."
"Yes, Mom, I know you like to eat Cantonese food, so you specially booked a room in advance." Lu Qian said loudly.
At this time, Zhao Xiaolan was eating with a few friends at a dining table by the window in the hall. When Lu Qian and her mother went to the bathroom just now, Zhao Xiaolan saw them and was thinking about their relationship. When they came out, she stared at them intently.
Hearing Lu Qian call her mom, Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but feel moved. Then she took out her cell phone and quickly took a few pictures. Then she put away her cell phone and watched them walk through the hall and go upstairs.
Lu Qian and her mother returned to the room, and everyone continued to eat and chat.
After a while, Qiao Liang asked Lu Qian's mother: "Auntie, where do you plan to visit Jiangzhou tomorrow?"
Lu Qian's mother did not directly answer Qiao Liang's words, but said: "Xiao Qiao, your home is in Sanjiang, right?"
"Yes." Qiao Liang nodded.
Then Lu Qian's mother said: "Tomorrow I want to go around the mountains in Sanjiang. At the same time, I would like to pay a visit to your house and meet your parents. Is it convenient?"
Upon hearing what Lu Qian's mother said, Qiao Liang's heart beat faster and her head suddenly felt heavy. Emma, Mrs. Liao was going to do a home visit. It seemed that she had already planned this trip. Going to Sanjiang Mountain was just a gimmick. Going to her own home
Meeting your parents is the real purpose.
No wonder Lu Qian asked her to accompany her mother on weekends. This was her original intention. Maybe it was something she and her mother had discussed in advance.
