Chu Heng chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand and tapped his temple: "You have to use your own brain to analyze this. I know that when Minister Xu was the director of the province, he had a good relationship with Li Youwei."
Qiao Liang frowned, what did Chu Heng mean by this? Does it imply that Wen Yuan brought down Li Youwei? Or does he want to disassociate himself from this matter?
Chu Heng then added: "In this case, you are unlucky because of Li Youwei. Coming out of the mountain is also because of Li Youwei."
It seems that Chu Heng finally figured out the reason why Qiao Liang was reused by Xu Honggang.
Qiao Liang smiled, a bit bitterly.
Chu Heng then said with a faint smile: "Wen Yuan and I are the biggest beneficiaries of Li Youwei's accident. If you exclude Wen Yuan, then I will be the biggest suspect!"
Qiao Liang was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Brother Chu, I dare not say that. I have never thought of it that way."
Although Qiao Liang was not without doubts about Chu Heng, Chu Heng said it so directly, which still frightened him.
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, Chu Heng laughed and patted Qiao Liang's shoulder: "Xiao Qiao, I'm joking with you. Look at you, I take it seriously, haha..."
Qiao Liang smiled and felt a little nervous. Damn, Zhang Mei just made a so-called joke, and Chu Heng made another joke for himself. I don’t know which of these two jokes is true and which is false? Or are they both?
Real? Or are they all fake?
"What are you two talking about? You are so happy." Ji Hong came out of the kitchen with a smile and carried the dishes, "Come on, the dishes are all here, let's go to the table and have a drink."
Everyone sat around the dining room table, Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei sat on one side, and Chu Heng and Ji Hong sat on the other side.
Whether intentionally or not, Chu Heng sat opposite Zhang Mei first, and Ji Hong had no choice but to sit opposite Qiao Liang.
Chu Heng opened a bottle of Maotai and poured it for himself and Qiao Liang, while Ji Hong and Zhang Mei drank red wine.
Chu Heng raised his wine glass: "Come on, let's have a family dinner tonight. Firstly, we can give Xiao Qiao a break from the wind and dust, and secondly, we can congratulate Xiao Qiao on his transfer from the newspaper office to the ministry."
Ji Hong continued: "Xiao Qiao has suffered a lot during this period. He has become darker and thinner."
Chu Heng nodded: "Yes, not only Xiao Qiao suffered, Mei Zi was also very affected, and she became quite haggard."
Qiao Liang glanced sideways at Zhang Mei and saw that she didn't look haggard and she was even more nourished than before.
Why moisturize? Naturally, it is fed by husband.
After finishing the glass of wine, Qiao Liang raised his glass: "Brother Chu, I'd like to toast you and Sister Hong. Firstly, I congratulate Brother Chu on being appointed as the executive deputy minister, and wish Brother Chu a better career in the future; secondly, Sister Hong has just returned from traveling to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
, I’m tired from the journey, give Sister Hong a break.”
Chu Heng smiled slightly: "Xiao Qiao, your sister-in-law and I accept your wishes, but you can't do it yourself. You have to do it with Mei Zi, right?"
Qiao Liang said nothing. Zhang Mei glanced at Qiao Liang dissatisfied and raised her glass: "Come, Brother Chu, Sister Hong, Qiao Liang and I will toast you together."
Everyone did it together.
Then Ji Hong raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, Mei Zi, you two are so talented and beautiful, you are a perfect match. Come on, Sister Hong proposes a toast to you. I wish you love and a sweet life."
"Thank you, Sister Hong." Zhang Mei laughed and drank.
Qiao Liang felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't say anything. She could only say thank you.
At this time, Qiao Liang's calf moved unintentionally, and then came into contact with something warm.
Qiao Liang's heart skipped a beat. It was Ji Hong's calf, and he accidentally touched it.
Glancing at Ji Hong, Ji Hong's eyelids twitched slightly, but her legs didn't move.
Qiao Liang felt some subtle feelings in her heart, and felt a little guilty, so she quickly retracted her calf.
Suddenly, he thought that if his calves and Ji Hong's calves would come into contact accidentally, would Chu Heng and Zhang Mei also...
Chu Heng was wearing big pants, and Zhang Mei was wearing a skirt, with their calves exposed.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang loosened the chopsticks in his hand and dropped them to the ground. He bent over and lowered his head to check the chopsticks. He saw that Chu Heng and Zhang Mei's legs were placed there neatly, with a certain distance between them.
Qiao Liang picked up the chopsticks, and Chu Heng smiled: "It seems that Xiao Qiao suffered a lot in the mountains. His body is weak and he can't even hold the chopsticks."
Qiao Liang laughed.
Then everyone ate the vegetables and praised Qiao Liang while eating: "It's delicious, it's so delicious. Sister Hong's cooking is really good. Brother Chu is so lucky to have such a virtuous wife."
Chu Heng laughed, which seemed a little dry. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken for Ji Hong.
Zhang Mei rolled her eyes and went to eat her own food.
Ji Hong also smiled, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his smile.
Then Ji Hong served Qiao Liang a bowl of fish soup and said gently: "Xiao Qiao, you have been suffering in the mountains these days. Drink more fish soup to replenish your body."
Qiao Liang felt hot in her heart. Ji Hong was such a gentle and considerate woman. Zhang Mei had never been like this to her.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel a little envious of Chu Heng.
While eating, Chu Heng answered a phone call.
"Ah Chao, um... okay, I understand. Just send a car to pick me up tomorrow."
After answering the phone, Chu Heng said to Ji Hong: "Your group will have a cultural symposium tomorrow and invite me to attend."
Ji Hong curled his lips: "This Tang Chao is really good at making troubles. What kind of cultural symposium does a businessman hold?"
"You don't understand this. Business and culture are inseparable. In other words, business is also a kind of culture."
"Where will it be opened? How many days?"
“Beida Mountain Resort, two days.”
"Tang Chao is getting more and more arrogant. Even you, the executive deputy minister, have to listen to his orders."
"Haha, just helping to stand up." Chu Heng smiled and glanced at Zhang Mei intentionally or unintentionally.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask: "Who is Tang Chao?"
Ji Hong replied: "The boss of our group is Minister Tang's son."
Qiao Liang understood. It turned out that Tang Chao Group was run by Tang Shusen's son. No wonder Chu Heng arranged for Ji Hong to work at Tang Chao Group.
The relationship between Chu Heng and Tang Shusen is extraordinary. Ji Hong naturally cannot suffer losses there, otherwise how could he be the financial director?
After dinner, everyone drank tea in the living room for a while, and then Qiao Liang stood up and left.
"Hey, let's sit down for a while." Ji Hong persuaded him to stay.
Qiao Liang said half-jokingly: "Sister Hong went on a trip and hasn't seen Brother Chu for many days. I think Brother Chu must miss Sister Hong very much. I think Brother Chu and Sister Hong must have an early farewell tonight rather than a newlywed. We still
I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Ji Hong's face turned slightly red, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sighed in his heart. Although he wanted to do it very much, Chu Heng always used the excuse of being tired from work and hadn't done that with him in months.
Seeing Ji Hong's subtle expression, Qiao Liang was slightly confused. Could it be that Chu Heng hasn't treated Ji Hong for a long time?
Chu Heng laughed at this time: "We are an old couple now, so we are not so impatient. Xiao Qiao, I'm afraid you are not afraid of disturbing me and your sister-in-law, but you want to go home and make out with Meizi as soon as possible, right?"
Qiao Liang smiled dryly, and Zhang Mei stood up and said politely: "Brother Chu, Sister Hong, let's go."
Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei said goodbye and left.
On the way back, both of them were silent. For a long time, Zhang Mei said angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much."
"Why do I talk too much?" Qiao Liang asked.
"You know it yourself." Zhang Mei quickened her pace.
Qiao Liang was a little confused. Didn't he just make an ambiguous joke? Is Zhang Mei like this? Damn it!
On the way, Qiao Liang saw a chain supermarket on the roadside and said to Zhang Mei, "You go back first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something."
Zhang Mei left alone, and Qiao Liang went straight to the supermarket. After drinking half a catty of Maotai at Chu Heng's house, she felt a little high and staggered when she walked. When she walked in and opened the curtain, she bumped into a woman.
"Oops--" the woman yelled, and the bag she was holding fell to the ground, and the contents in the bag were scattered all over the place.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Qiao Liang hurriedly knelt down to pick up something. He heard a familiar woman's voice and looked up, Ye Xinyi.
Such a coincidence, I bumped into Ye Xinyi.
"Asshole, you're blind!" A tall, strong man came over and yelled rudely.
