After a while, Su Yan was the first to break the silence: "I didn't expect it."
"What didn't you expect?" Qiao Liang said.
"I didn't expect that the only temporary job quota in the municipal government would be given to you. No one would have thought that it would be given to you." Su Yan said.
Qiao Liang smiled: "Do you think I'm lucky?"
Su Yan didn't smile: "I don't feel that way, I just feel weird."
"That's right. In fact, from different perspectives, things that seem weird to you may seem normal to others. Of course, this normality seems to be temporary." Qiao Liang said with something in mind.
"I don't seem to understand what you are saying." Su Yan frowned.
"If you don't understand, go back and think about it slowly." Qiao Liang smiled again.
Su Yan thought for a moment and continued to frown: "What should I do if you leave? What should we do?"
"What do you think?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I want to know what you think." Su Yan said.
Qiao Liang took out a cigarette and took two puffs: "Su Yan, I'm sorry, although our previous cooperation has been very pleasant, I did not help you realize your wish."
Su Yan said calmly: "This is the reality. You don't have to tell me to understand this. I don't have any complaints against you. Moreover, although our cooperation is relatively smooth, there is no result. You have not achieved your goal. I
It seems reasonable to fail to achieve the goal."
Qiao Liang nodded: "I'm very pleased that you can think so. That being the case, I think that if you are willing, our cooperation should continue. I am leaving Jiangzhou only temporarily and will come back. I
How about business as usual?"
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I agree."
Qiao Liang continued: "Of course, what I said about business as usual is based on the current situation. If there are new changes in the situation, then we will also..."
At this point, Qiao Liang stopped.
Su Yan frowned again: "Do you think there will be any new changes in the situation? If there are changes, what will we do?"
"Everything is unknown." Qiao Liang said simply.
Su Yan pondered for a moment: "Okay then, let's carry on as usual amidst all the unknowns. Let's have a meal together tonight, and I'll give you..."
"I have plans tonight." Qiao Liang interrupted Su Yan. He thought that Ye Xinyi would be back today and might be on her way back to Jiangzhou in Huangyuan.
"Then tomorrow." Su Yan said.
"I will go back to my hometown tomorrow." Qiao Liang said.
"Then... what about the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?" Su Yan didn't want to give up.
"I don't even have time." Qiao Liang said this because he didn't want to have his last supper with Su Yan before leaving Jiangzhou.
Su Yan had a look of disappointment on her face: "Although outsiders don't know it, we are still boyfriend and girlfriend in front of Chu Heng. You don't even give me this opportunity. Isn't it too much?"
"You know the nature of our boyfriend and girlfriend very well. Since it's just acting, why should we take it seriously? I want to remind you that it's just a transaction between us, a transaction for our own purposes and interests, do you understand?" Qiao Liang said.
Su Yan stared at Qiao Liang silently, her eyes dimmed immediately, and she sighed: "Okay, I understand, thank you for the reminder."
Qiao Liang continued: "Su Yan, you are a smart woman. As a smart woman, I think you should be able to grasp the dimensions and know when to say what to do... Also, as a collaborator,
As long as our future cooperation continues to be pleasant, even if the realization of my ultimate goal is not because of you, I will try my best to find ways to help you realize your wish."
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "Are you setting a precondition for the future, or do you want to draw a big pie for me first? Or are you worried that I will change my mind midway and terminate our transaction?"
Qiao Liang smiled slightly: "It's up to you to think about this, but I will still say what needs to be said."
Su Yan breathed out: "Okay, I will remember what you said."
"Well, just remember, I'm leaving." Qiao Liang nodded to Su Yan, then turned and walked towards the door.
Looking at Qiao Liang's back, Su Yan had complex expressions in her eyes: loneliness, loss, melancholy, confusion...
Qiao Liang was walking out when he met Huang Jie. Behind him were two young men carrying a large cardboard box. Looking at the logo on the cardboard box, he saw that it was a high-end large fish tank.
"Chief Huang, who are you buying this fish tank for?" Qiao Liang stopped and asked.
Seeing Qiao Liang, Huang Jie stopped and said absently: "Mayor Luo."
"Oh, the fish tank in Mayor Luo's office is broken?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Well, I accidentally broke it at noon." Huang Jie continued absentmindedly.
"Oh, it's broken?" Qiao Liang blinked, thought about it for a moment, felt happy, and then said, "How did it break? Did you do it?"
Huang Jie rolled his eyelids and said, "Damn, this kid's words are so unflattering." He said angrily: "Of course it's not me. Why did it break? Why are you so curious?"
Qiao Liang laughed: "Since you didn't do it, then Mayor Luo did it? Did Mayor Luo want to exercise? Did he smash the fish tank with the chair opposite the desk?"
Huang Jie was startled, Damn, how could this kid guess so accurately? Luo Fei did use that chair to smash the fish tank to pieces. It was just not for physical exercise, but for an unknown reason.
Seeing that Huang Jie was stunned, Qiao Liang continued to laugh: "I guessed it right, didn't I? Haha, since Mayor Luo has this kind of exercise hobby, it seems a bit small to buy a fish tank. I should buy 100 in bulk and be ready to smash it and replace it at any time.
New…”
Huang Jie couldn't stand listening anymore. Damn, this guy is so unlucky. If Luo Fei gets angry like this 100 times, he will be so angry that he still acts like a shit host.
Huang Jie felt that Qiao Liang was teasing him, so he simply stopped talking to him and walked away. Qiao Liang's voice came from behind him: "Chief Huang, tell Mayor Luo that if he doesn't think smashing the fish tank is enough, why not?"
You can ruin your job..."
Huang Jie walked forward without looking back, cursing in his heart: Bastard, it's not too big of a deal to watch the excitement, you're just ruining your job, your whole family is ruining their jobs...
Looking at Huang Jie's back, Qiao Liang had a sarcastic smile on his face. At this time, he could probably guess the reason why Luo Fei smashed the fish tank. Thinking of the scene where he pranked Luo Fei at the newspaper office in the morning, he felt very happy and felt that Song
The fit is very precise.
Then Qiao Liang left the compound and returned to the dormitory. Feeling a little sleepy, he lay down on the sofa and took a nap.
When I woke up again, it was almost 6 o'clock.
Qiao Liang got up and washed his face. He looked at the messy dormitory and decided to tidy it up. He was about to leave for the northwest. He had to tidy up the dormitory so that he would stay there when he came back occasionally.
Just as Qiao Liang was about to start working, someone knocked on the door.
Qiao Liang opened the door, and Ye Xinyi stood at the door covered in dust.
"Xiaoye, you're back." Seeing Ye Xinyi, whom she hadn't seen for many days, Qiao Liang felt warm in her heart.
Ye Xinyi said nothing and looked at Qiao Liang intently. Ever since Qiao Liang was sent to the mountains, Ye Xinyi had not seen him again. At this time, Ye Xinyi saw that Qiao Liang, who had been suffering in the mountains for such a period of time, was darker than before.
I lost weight, but still looked energetic.
This made Ye Xinyi feel distressed and somewhat comforted at the same time.
"Why do you always look at me like this? Could it be that you are attracted by my good looks?" Qiao Liang grinned.
Ye Xinyi didn't say anything, walked in directly, looked around the room, and then frowned, Damn, it's a whole pig's nest.
"Qiao Liang, why are you so poor at taking care of yourself?" Ye Xinyi frowned and looked at Qiao Liang, "Just like you, living on your own in the northwest, and the room is still so sloppy, isn't it a joke for everyone to watch Deputy County Chief Qiao?
?”
"I live alone in the northwest. As long as women are not allowed in my room, it doesn't matter if men see me." Qiao Liang said confidently.
"That's not possible. If you don't clean one house, how can you sweep the world? Your living habits must change when you come to the northwest, otherwise if others see you, it will affect your image outside." Ye Xinyi said seriously.
"Well, okay then, I accept your criticism humbly and I will change it later." Qiao Liang nodded, then pointed to the room, "What should we do now?"
"What do you think?" Ye Xinyi said.
"I said..." Qiao Liang grinned, "The neat and tidy beauty Ye Meiren is here just now, so I'll have to thank you for the hard work."
"Huh? Catch me?" Ye Xinyi frowned.
"Yeah, what? Not happy?"
"Yes, I'm not happy. I came here to ask you to go out for dinner, not to clean your room."
"It's okay if you don't want to. If you don't tidy up the room, you won't be able to eat tonight."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Um."
"You dare to threaten me?"
"Um."
Seeing Qiao Liang's lazy face, Ye Xinyi was so angry and funny, and felt helpless, Nima, forget it, he is going to the northwest anyway, we can't let the house be so messy after he leaves, help him clean it up
Bar.
"Hurry up and do it together."
"Come on."
Then the two started to work, Qiao Liang cleaned, and Ye Xinyi tidied up the messy things, washed the sheets, quilts, and clothes.
An hour later, the room was clean and the washed clothes were hung on the balcony. Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi looked at the fruits of their labor and were quite satisfied.
"Will you keep this room?" Ye Xinyi asked.
Qiao Liang nodded: "Yes, I still have to stay here when I come back occasionally."
Ye Xinyi sighed with emotion: "You, like me, don't live here often anymore."
"It's normal for people to have water flowing in a room made of iron." Qiao Liang said.
Ye Xinyi nodded: "It's getting late, let's go out to eat. By the way, I originally planned to ask Bingyu to eat with us, but..."
"But Bingmei went on a business trip to the county with Minister Song in the afternoon and can't attend our dinner." Qiao Liang took over Ye Xinyi's words.
"It seems you already knew."
"Yes, I met Yue Shanshan in the courtyard in the afternoon and found out by chance."
"Then we will have dinner together tonight?" Ye Xinyi said in a tentative tone.
"What? Isn't it good for us alone to have dinner together? Do you still want to find a light bulb?" Qiao Liang said with a half-smile.
Ye Xinyi unintentionally joked with Qiao Liang, sighed, and said quietly: "Every time we had dinner, there were so many people together, and everyone was so lively, but now, Xiaoya is in the United States, Lu Qian has returned to the capital, and Xiuxiu is here
In the county, Bingyu is on a business trip, and Sister Lin...this dinner is just the two of us..."
Hearing the sadness in Ye Xinyi's voice, Qiao Liang felt melancholy in his heart. Thinking of the unforgettable good times in the past and the women around him, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely now.
The past time is unforgettable, but time is gone forever, and the past has become the past forever...
