Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi went to the restaurant and sat down in a corner of the hall. Qiao Liang ordered a few dishes and a bottle of red wine.
After the food was served, Qiao Liang raised his glass and looked at Ye Xinyi: "Xiaoye, I offer you a glass of wine. This glass of wine has three meanings."
Ye Xinyi and Qiao Liang clinked glasses: "What does the first one mean?"
"grateful."
"What's the second meaning?"
"Thanks anyway."
"What about the third meaning?"
"Continue to thank you." Qiao Liang said and drank.
"Isn't that the same thing?" Ye Xinyi also did it, "Actually, this is the job that Secretary An arranged for me to do. You don't need to thank me."
Qiao Liang chuckled and shook his head: "Wrong."
"Why is it wrong?" Ye Xinyi was a little confused.
Qiao Liang wiped her mouth: "If Secretary An is satisfied with this manuscript, he arranged for us to do it. Otherwise, it was my own doing."
"What do you mean?" Ye Xinyi became more and more confused.
Qiao Liang chuckled again: "Actually, Secretary An only mentioned my name in this manuscript and did not arrange for you. I called you here in my own name."
"What? You guy..." Ye Xinyi glared at Qiao Liang. This guy was very courageous. He dared to use An Zhe's name to order him around.
Qiao Liang continued: "There's nothing I can do about it. First of all, I can't complete this manuscript in such a short time by myself, so I can only ask you to help me; secondly, what's the matter?
, I was afraid that if you knew it was in my own name, even though you would help me, you would definitely make fun of me first. To save trouble, I simply took out Secretary An."
Ye Xinyi understood this time. She rubbed it and messed with it, but in the end she was deceived by this kid.
Ye Xinyi had a headache for a moment. She was so smart, why did she get teased by this kid every time? She always fell into the trap that this kid had set for her.
Qiao Liang continued: "But don't worry, if Secretary An is satisfied with the manuscript, I will not take the credit for myself, but will tell him that it is the result of our joint efforts. If he is dissatisfied, then I will say that I did it myself."
Yes, it doesn’t involve you at all.”
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Ye Xinyi felt a little relieved. This guy was very good at thinking about things for himself. He would not forget about himself for good things and bear all the bad things by himself.
This is indeed in line with Qiao Liang's character of loyalty.
Ye Xinyi admired Qiao Liang very much.
"Actually, Secretary An is just not satisfied. You can also say that we worked on the manuscript together. There is no need to lie to him." Ye Xinyi said.
"No, no, no." Qiao Liang shook his head, "You were originally helping with good intentions, how could I drag you in? How can I bear to do this? Besides, you are not only my former boss.
, you are still my good friend, how could I do such a thing? This is too unmanly."
When Qiao Liang said this, Ye Xinyi was suddenly moved and couldn't help but feel that this guy was really quite a man in what he did.
Qiao Liang then chuckled: "However, we have put in so much effort, especially with you, a master, doing it yourself. I think it is unlikely that Secretary An will be dissatisfied. Even if he is not completely satisfied, he can at least pass the test.
"
Ye Xinyi thought for a moment: "I think this manuscript should be in line with Secretary An's appetite. Of course, the manuscript can reach this level, and it is closely related to Secretary An's new ideas and new opinions that you have carefully collected. These are the secretaries' first choice.
Those in the department can't do it. They can only pick it up based on the materials. Although the manuscript is in compliance with the standards, it lacks pertinence, which is obviously not what Secretary An wants."
Qiao Liang was a little emotional: "Actually, when I collected and organized those things, I didn't expect that they would be used in the future. I just felt that it was necessary. I didn't expect that it would actually play a big role."
"This shows that you are a thoughtful person. At least in this regard, you are a qualified secretary. This is something that many other secretaries of senior leaders do not have." Ye Xinyi said.
"Qualified..." Qiao Liang pondered. As An Zhe's secretary, passing is definitely not the goal. He must be excellent.
Moreover, from the current point of view, in Anzhe's heart, it is hard to say whether he is qualified or not. To be excellent, he still needs to put in a lot of effort.
Moreover, qualification may not only be reflected in writing the manuscript.
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang felt pressure.
Under pressure, but with great motivation.
The two of them chatted while eating and drinking.
"Xiaoye, I'm calling you in the name of Secretary An, aren't you angry?" Qiao Liang said.
"Angry." Ye Xinyi said simply.
"This..." Qiao Liang was startled, "Since you are angry, what should you do?"
"I'll punish myself with a drink." Ye Xinyi stared at Qiao Liang.
"Okay, I'll drink." Qiao Liang drank a glass of wine honestly.
"That's pretty much it." Ye Xinyi snorted, "If I find you doing something like this in the name of Secretary An, I will sue you to Secretary An."
"No, you definitely won't." Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Why not?"
"How could you give it up?" Qiao Liang grinned.
"Bah, stinky."
"I'm not a stinky person, I really think so." Qiao Liang said seriously, "We are good friends, how could you do such a thing to me?"
Ye Xinyi curled her lips, but agreed in her heart, yes, since they are good friends, she will naturally not do anything detrimental to him. Besides, this guy has helped her a lot, so of course she should help him.
After a while, Qiao Liang changed the subject: "How is your work in the ministry lately? Is it going well?"
Ye Xinyi sighed: "It didn't go well."
Qiao Liang blinked: "What? Minister Chu gave you some shoes to wear again?"
Ye Xinyi sighed again: "Not only Minister Chu..."
"What? Is there anyone else?" Qiao Liang's eyelids twitched.
Ye Xinyi nodded: "I don't know why I offended Minister Liu. She doesn't cooperate with me at work. Every time I raise something at the minister's office meeting, as long as Minister Chu disagrees, Minister Liu will always
The first person to jump out and agree. Moreover, Minister Chu recently adjusted my responsibilities and transferred the office to Minister Liu, leaving me only in charge of the news."
Qiao Liang frowned in thought, seeming to realize something.
It seems that after Liu Yiping was transferred to the department, she became aware of the tense relationship between Chu Heng and Ye Xinyi. Because she had the same level and qualifications as Ye Xinyi, she subconsciously regarded Ye Xinyi as a competitor, and subconsciously wanted to follow Chu Heng's steps and suppress Ye Xinyi.
Xinyi, in this way, when she encounters an opportunity, she can be one step ahead of Ye Xinyi.
Thinking of Liu Yiping's scheming, Qiao Liang couldn't help but secretly worry about Ye Xinyi. Ye Xinyi had outstanding work ability, but when it came to being tricky, she was obviously no match for Liu Yiping, not to mention that Liu Yiping was now close to Chu Heng.
"Have you ever had an open conflict with Minister Liu now?" Qiao Liang asked.
Ye Xinyi shook her head: "No, after all, we had a good relationship before. I don't want to make everyone unhappy because of some things, so I have to be tolerant to her in everything. I hope she can be content and stop."
Qiao Liang frowned again. Ye Xinyi obviously didn't understand Liu Yiping yet. Her tolerance would only make Liu Yiping feel that she was weak and could be bullied. Not only would Liu Yiping not stop, but she would go even further. Because Liu Yiping's purpose was to completely suppress Ye Xinyi.
, taking the absolute initiative over Ye Xinyi in the limelight. Only in this way can she surpass Ye Xinyi in progress.
