"Damn ghost, what's the matter?" Lu Qian answered Qiao Liang's call and asked with a smile. Although she still called Qiao Liang dead ghost, her tone had a different flavor, one of sweetness and happiness.
"Lv Qian, Secretary Wu wants to invite me to dinner tonight, you should go too," Qiao Liang said.
"Ah? I'm outside now and can't get back." Lu Qian said depressedly.
"Where are you?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I'm in Yangshan and came down to do something." Lu Qian replied.
"Then how long will it take for you to come back? We'll wait for you." Qiao Liang said.
"It takes nearly an hour to go back from Yangshan. The most important thing is that I haven't finished my work yet." Lu Qian said, "Why don't you go and eat by yourself? I'll join you next time we have a chance."
"Okay, let's do this for now." Qiao Liang hung up the phone in disappointment. He wanted to take Lu Qian with him, and also wanted to avoid having any inappropriate thoughts when he had dinner with Wu Huiwen.
After putting away his cell phone, Qiao Liang went to the hotel. After arriving for a while, his butt was still hot from sitting, Wu Huiwen followed him there.
"Sister Wu, you arrived so quickly." Qiao Liang said in surprise.
"I was already getting ready to get off work when I called you, so I came over quickly." Wu Huiwen said with a smile. As he spoke, Wu Huiwen looked Qiao Liang up and down.
Qiao Liang felt a little uncomfortable when Wu Huiwen looked at her and said with a smile, "Sister Wu, is there something different about me? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, you have been acting strange recently."
Qiao Liang blinked, already guessing what Wu Huiwen was asking, but knowingly asked, "Sister Wu, what's weird about me?"
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, I see you rarely come to my office recently. Why are you so busy with work?"
Qiao Liang scratched his head and said, "Sister Wu, I have been a little busy at work recently, so I don't go to your place much."
Wu Huiwen just asked casually. Seeing that Qiao Liang really answered like this, she looked at Qiao Liang thoughtfully. If she was just joking just now, then she really thinks Qiao Liang is weird now.
Without asking further, Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Sit down first and let's chat while we eat. By the way, have you ordered anything?"
Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Wu Huiwen heard this and said, "Let's order first."
The two sat down and each ordered two dishes. Wu Huiwen looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Xiao Qiao, is your work in the discipline department going well recently?"
Qiao Liang nodded and said, "Not bad."
Wu Huiwen said, "If you encounter any problems at work that Comrade Shidong cannot solve, just come to me directly."
Qiao Liang continued to nod, "Sister Wu, I will."
Wu Huiwen smiled and suddenly changed the topic, "Xiao Qiao, I feel like you and I have become estranged."
Qiao Liang was stunned, "Is there any?"
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, since you call me Sister Wu, do you treat me as one of your own?"
Qiao Liang nodded affirmatively, "Sister Wu, I treat you as my own sister in my heart."
Hearing what Qiao Liang said, Wu Huiwen's eyes flashed slightly. Qiao Liang now said that he treated her as a biological sister, which was a little different from the past.
Wu Huiwen looked at Qiao Liang with burning eyes, "Xiao Qiao, are you sure you have nothing to hide from me?"
Qiao Liang nodded and said, "Sister Wu, I really have nothing to hide from you."
As Qiao Liang said this, an idea flashed through her mind. Wu Huiwen took the initiative to ask now. It seemed to be the right time to tell Wu Huiwen that she was engaged.
Thoughts flashed through Qiao Liang's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate to tell Wu Huiwen that he was engaged now. Instead of deliberately avoiding any misunderstandings, he might as well take the initiative to tell Wu Huiwen. He had not taken the initiative to tell Wu Huiwen about it before, so it was more or less With some inexplicable thoughts and complicated thoughts, but this is contradictory to his recent practice of deliberately reducing contact with Wu Huiwen. This also reflects Qiao Liang's inner struggle and contradiction, but now that Wu Huiwen has asked, then Just said it.
With this in mind, Qiao Liang said, "Sister Wu, if there's something wrong, it's that I took a few days off last month to handle some personal matters."
"Really?" Wu Huiwen said unexpectedly, "You asked for leave last month? Comrade Shidong didn't tell me about this, so I really didn't know."
Qiao Liang said with a smile, "I asked for leave because of personal matters. Secretary Zheng may not have told you for this reason."
Wu Huiwen nodded and asked, "Why did you ask for leave?"
Qiao Liang said, "Sister Wu, Lu Qian and I are engaged. Secretary Liao hopes to hold an engagement party in the capital, so my parents and I went to the capital."
Wu Huiwen was startled when she heard this and looked at Qiao Liang blankly, "Xiao Qiao, are you engaged?"
Qiao Liang responded softly, "Yeah."
Wu Huiwen was a little dazed, but soon she came to her senses and said with a smile on her face, "Xiao Qiao, I have to criticize you. You didn't notify me of such a great event as your engagement?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Sister Wu, I didn't think there was any need to alarm you because of personal matters."
Wu Huiwen said disapprovingly, "If you call me Sister Wu in private, then you should notify me in time about your engagement. You just said you treat me like your own sister. I think you are duplicity."
Qiao Liang said quickly, "Sister Wu, I don't mean that. I really think that you are busy with work and there is no need to disturb you with my personal affairs."
Wu Huiwen smiled slightly, "You see you didn't notify me of your engagement, so I didn't even prepare a red envelope for you."
Qiao Liang said, "Sister Wu, it's just an engagement, not a marriage, so why do you need any red envelopes?"
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Even if you don't need a red envelope, I should prepare some gifts for you, otherwise wouldn't your calling me Sister Wu be in vain?"
Qiao Liang said, "Sister Wu, there is no need for us to be so exposed."
Wu Huiwen asked, "Then you didn't hold an engagement party in Jiangzhou?"
Qiao Liang shook his head, "I don't plan to do it. If Secretary Liao didn't need to hold an engagement banquet in the capital for some special reasons, I originally just wanted to do it in a low-key way. It would be fine if the two families had a meal together. I didn't want to do it. You can mobilize troops and mobilize people."
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "Girls want to be beautiful. You don't even have an engagement party. Can Lu Qian agree?"
Qiao Liang said, "Lu Qian is still very considerate. She has no objections."
After hearing this, Wu Huiwen said with some indescribable emotions, "Lv Qian is a good girl. It's rare that she has such an outstanding family background, but she doesn't have the airs of a young lady. The most important thing is that she likes you. You will be at Sanjiang County Hospital during the Chinese New Year." When I was hospitalized and visited her in the ward, I could feel the light in her eyes when she talked about you. When a woman talks about a man, her eyes light up. That means she really likes her to the core. You can finally be with her. Come together, Sister Wu is really happy for you and wishes you all the best from the bottom of her heart."
When Wu Huiwen said this, she was happy for Qiao Liang from the bottom of her heart, but she had some special emotions for Qiao Liang deep down in her heart. Wu Huiwen knew what those emotions were, but her reason told her that their identities determine
They cannot indulge their emotions at will like ordinary people.
Therefore, although Wu Huiwen did not reject Qiao Liang's closeness before, she tried her best to maintain restraint and did not break through that boundary. At this moment, she was also pleased that Qiao Liang could find her own happiness. She was only happy for Qiao Liang.
, Wu Huiwen also felt a sense of loss deep in her heart, but this feeling came and went quickly, and Wu Huiwen quickly adjusted her emotions.
Qiao Liang had been observing Wu Huiwen's expression. After hearing Wu Huiwen's words, Qiao Liang said, "Sister Wu, thank you for your blessing."
Wu Huiwen smiled and said, "I wish you well. You and Lu Qian are indeed a perfect match, and being with her will also help your career. There is no woman more suitable for you than her."
Qiao Liang smiled helplessly, "When Lu Qian and I are together, we first like each other, not because of each other's family background."
Wu Huiwen nodded and said, "I understand, but don't you think it is very happy to be with a girl you like and it can help your career?"
Qiao Liang didn't say anything after hearing this. After telling Wu Huiwen about his engagement to Lu Qian, he felt relaxed in his heart. Some things are actually better discussed.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, and became silent with each other.
While Qiao Liang and Wu Huiwen were having dinner, in a hotel in a hot spring town, Xu Honggang and others were surrounding Su Huaxin like stars holding the moon. A group of people were also preparing to have dinner. Su Huaxin was sitting at the head table.
He was making a call on his mobile phone.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said. Su Huaxin shook his head, hung up the phone, and said, "This guy Xiaotian said he won't come because he is playing motorcycle racing with others."
It turns out that Su Hua
It was not good for everyone to wait eagerly and called the other party to urge him to hurry up. Unexpectedly, Tang Yuntian said that he had no time to come. This really made Su Huaxin speechless. If the little guy didn't come, he wouldn't call him in advance.
One sound.
However, Su Huaxin was already used to Tang Yuntian's lack of focus. As long as this little guy was reliable, his old boss would not arrange for him to be sent to Jiangdong to take care of him, for fear that the other party would cause trouble in the capital.
As soon as Su Huaxin finished speaking, Xu Honggang complained, "Brother, this little Tang, you really need to remind him that he is too obsessed with playing with that motorcycle. I feel that that thing is a bit dangerous. If this is
We can't afford anything if something happens to Jiangzhou."
Xu Honggang's words were full of helplessness. Xu Honggang went to see the motorcycle racing club run by Tang Yuntian once in private. They were all a bunch of young people playing. These people were really running amok when they drove. Xu Honggang secretly felt sorry for Tang.
Yuntian sweated, fearing that the other party would have a car accident someday. If something happened, they really couldn't bear the responsibility. However, Tang Yuntian couldn't help but be disciplined by them. Even Xu Honggang didn't dare to say harsh words to the other party.
