Seeing Li Youwei coming, Qiao Liang immediately stood up from the bamboo chair, and Lu Ping also hurriedly stood up.
"Secretary Li——" Qiao Liang greeted Li Youwei respectfully.
"Li..." Lu Ping hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to call President Li, but then he changed his mind and followed Qiao Liang and shouted, "Secretary Li, you are here..."
As he spoke, with a warm smile on his face, Lu Ping reached out his hand from afar.
Li Youwei came over, smiled and shook hands with Lu Ping: "Secretary Lu, you are now the person in charge of the newspaper. It is not appropriate to call me that. You should call me Lao Li."
Although Li Youwei was smiling at this time, his tone was neither salty nor bland, nor cold nor hot.
"This..." Lu Ping smiled sarcastically, glanced at Qiao Liang, and had an idea, then said, "Secretary Li, although you no longer work at the newspaper, in the hearts of me and the employees of the newspaper, you will always be our old secretary.
"
Qiao Liang was quite satisfied with Lu Ping's words and smiled slightly.
Li Youwei was even more surprised. When he saw Lu Ping on some occasions before, he always pretended not to see him with his eyelids drooped. He would hide whenever he could. Even if he couldn't hide, he was lukewarm, let alone barking.
I am Secretary Li, what happened today? Why does this guy's attitude towards me suddenly seem to have changed?
Strangely, Li Youwei glanced at Qiao Liang and saw that his expression was a little unpredictable. Thinking of the scene where Qiao Liang and Lu Ping were talking, he immediately made a vague judgment. It seemed that between Qiao Liang and Lu Ping
What happened? Although Qiao Liang was sent to the living base by Lu Ping, Lu Ping's attitude towards Qiao Liang was not what he thought before he came here.
Without thinking too much, Li Youwei continued: "Thank you Secretary Lu for your support. I came here today to see Xiao Qiao. I didn't expect Secretary Lu to be here."
"Haha, welcome old secretary to inspect the living base. In fact, I came here today specifically to see Mr. Qiao and to seek Mr. Qiao's opinions on some important matters of the newspaper office." Lu Ping said with a smile.
Li Youwei frowned slightly. Damn it, Lu Ping came to see Qiao Liang specially and asked Qiao Liang for his opinion on important matters at work. This is wrong, very wrong!
So, what exactly happened between Qiao Liang and Lu Ping?
Li Youwei, who didn't know what was going on, felt very confused at this time.
Li Youwei composed himself, and then said calmly: "Secretary Lu, my visit today is at best a revisit to my old place, but it cannot be said to be an inspection. I have left officialdom, and the word inspection is no longer related."
"Hehe, since you are the old secretary in our hearts, you are here to inspect." Lu Ping knew the importance of Li Youwei in Qiao Liang's heart, so trying his best to please Li Youwei was equivalent to trying to please Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang understood Lu Ping's intentions and thoughts, and then said to Li Youwei: "Secretary Li, since you are here today, let's have dinner at the base at noon. I will get some dishes and we will have a good meal."
"Okay." Li Youwei nodded.
"That's right, Qiao Liang and I will have a few drinks with the old secretary at noon." Lu Ping hurriedly agreed, and then said, "Mr. Qiao, I will cook with you."
Qiao Liang obviously didn't want Lu Ping to interfere with him and Li Youwei drinking together. He looked at Lu Ping with a half-smile but not a smile: "Secretary Lu, I remember you just said that the newspaper office has important guests to receive at noon."
Lu Ping was startled and then realized that Qiao Liang wanted to drive him away. He felt regretful that he had missed the opportunity to please Qiao Liang and Li Youwei. But since Qiao Liang said so, he naturally had to cooperate with him.
So Lu Ping said: "Yes, I almost forgot... Secretary Li, I'm so sorry..."
Li Youwei understood what Qiao Liang meant and smiled: "Secretary Lu, you don't have to be polite."
Qiao Liang continued: "Secretary Lu, please go back as soon as possible. Don't delay in entertaining important guests."
"Hey, okay." Lu Ping nodded helplessly, shook hands with Li Youwei again, got in the car and left.
Watching Lu Ping's car leave, Li Youwei pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Qiao Liang: "Liangzi, tell me, what's going on?"
Qiao Liang pondered for a while, since Li Youwei discovered something fishy, should he tell him the truth?
If you tell him the truth, you will have to bring out Zhang Lin, and even your relationship with Zhang Lin.
This seems very inappropriate.
If Li Youwei was not told the truth, he would have become suspicious now. With his sharpness and sensitivity, it would be difficult for him to get over it, and it would also be bad to deceive the boss.
How to say it?
Just as Qiao Liang was hesitating, there was movement at the entrance of the base, and an off-road vehicle drove in.
As soon as he saw the car, Qiao Liang knew that the third child was coming.
The off-road vehicle parked next to Li Youwei's car, and then Lao San and Tong Tong got out of the car. They first looked at the high-end Audi, and then walked over. As they walked, Lao San shouted: "Birdman, I'm here.
Why don't you come and pick up the guests soon..."
Looking at Lao San and Tong Tong, Li Youwei smiled and said to Qiao Liang: "Your buddy?"
Qiao Liang nodded, then waved to Lao San: "What the hell are you shouting for, come here."
Laosan and Tongtong came over and saw Li Youwei.
Qiao Liang then introduced them to each other. When he heard that the person in front of him was Li Youwei, Qiao Liang's former boss, the famous president of Chint Group, the third child immediately became honest, and he and Tongtong looked at Li Youwei with admiration.
.
Li Youwei shook hands with them in a friendly manner, and Qiao Liang then invited everyone to sit down and drink tea.
In front of Li Youwei, Laosan and Tongtong looked a little reserved.
Li Youwei took the initiative to chat with them and learned that they were engaged in tourism. He couldn't help but become interested because Chint Group was planning to get involved in the tourism industry recently.
Li Youwei then asked about their company's business and tourism. The third child was not familiar with this aspect, so he always answered in a childlike manner. Li Youwei listened very carefully, with a thoughtful expression while listening.
After talking for a long time, Qiao Liang got up and went to the kitchen to cook. Tong Tong said: "Qiao Liang, cooking is a woman's job. Let me do it. You chat with Mr. Li."
Seeing that Tongtong wanted to cook by himself, Qiao Liang was not polite and took Tongtong to the kitchen and then came back.
Li Youwei was chatting with the third child at this time. He looked at the third child and said, "Although you are the chairman of the company, I don't think you are familiar with the company's business?"
The third child laughed and was thinking about how to answer Li Youwei when Qiao Liang came over and said: "Boss, this guy is not doing his job all day long. The chairman is just a name."
The third child glared at Qiao Liang, and Li Youwei laughed: "The third child, since your main focus is not on the company, what are you busy with every day?"
"I..." Lao San scratched his head, "Mr. Li, my main focus is on studying new technologies."
"What new technologies are they?" Li Youwei asked with great interest.
"This... is mainly about computer information." Lao San said vaguely.
"Oh..." Li Youwei nodded, "Since you and Liang Zi are college classmates, you should have studied liberal arts. How are you good at these science subjects?"
The third child chuckled: "Hobby, hobby."
"Well, you have a good hobby." Li Youwei nodded again.
At this time, Tongtong's voice came from the kitchen: "Third brother, come here and help me."
"Hey, good to come." The third child agreed, then got up and walked over.
Looking at the back of the third child, Li Youwei said to Qiao Liang: "Liangzi, your buddy's hobby..."
Li Youwei pondered and did not say any more.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment: "Boss, let me tell you the truth. This guy, the third one, used to be a private detective and opened a research institute for scientific and technological information. Although he is now closed and working as the chairman of a travel company, he still likes to tinker with these things.
thing."
"Oh, that's it." Li Youwei laughed.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and then continued: "Actually, the third child helped a lot in the case of Xiaoya's father."
Li Youwei's eyelids twitched and he nodded with admiration in his eyes: "That's right, Xiaoya and you are college classmates, so naturally you and Lao San are also classmates. It's good to have such good classmates and good friends.
"
Qiao Liang then changed the subject: "Boss, does Xiaoya know my current situation?"
"Yes." Li Youwei nodded, "Although Xiaoya is in the United States, she has been paying attention to your situation. When she learned that you were transferred from the commission and sent to the mountains, she was very worried about you."
Qiao Liang sighed: "Boss, actually you shouldn't tell her my current situation, it will affect her treatment."
Li Youwei shook his head: "Xiaoya first learned about your situation, not through me, but An Ran told her."
"Oh... An Ran..." Qiao Liang nodded. Since it was An Ran, An Ran naturally knew about it through An Zhe. And with An Zhe's character, if An Ran didn't take the initiative to ask her, An Zhe would not tell her.
Yes, that is to say, this girl An Ran still remembers her in the United States.
Li Youwei continued: "After Xiaoya learned about you from An Ran, she often called me to ask about your situation. She wanted to help you get out of the predicament and asked me if I had any good ideas. She said that as long as she could
, no amount of money is a problem, I told her that it is not a problem of money, because of your special status and certain things in the past, the people and situations involved are more complicated, don't worry, just watch as you go...
"
Qiao Liang was moved after hearing this and was speechless for a moment.
Li Youwei then stood up: "I haven't been here for a long time. Come on, come and walk around with me."
Qiao Liang then accompanied Li Youwei around the living base. As he walked, Li Youwei said: "Liang Zi, tell me, what happened between you and Lu Ping?"
