When they arrived at the commercial street, An Ran and Xiao Tao started shopping happily, while Qiao Liang followed them leisurely.
After a while, everyone entered a jewelry store. An Ran picked a hairpin and put it on her head. She looked at Xiao Tao and Qiao Liang: "Doesn't it look good?"
"It looks good." Qiao Liang and Xiao Tao nodded.
"Benefactor, please pay." An Ran said.
Qiao Liang was stunned: "You didn't bring any money?"
"Bring it." An Ran said.
"Why should I pay if you bring it?" Qiao Liang said.
"What? You can give love gifts to Sister Xiaotao, but you can't give them to me?" An Ran said unconvinced.
Qiao Liang blinked, this girl was competing with Xiao Tao.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but want to laugh. After all, An Ran was still a student, with a childlike air.
"Okay, I'll give you a small gift too." Qiao Liang went over and paid.
"Hehe, thank you benefactor." An Ran was happy.
Then everyone continued shopping. Women's favorite thing about shopping is naturally looking at clothes. An Ran and Xiao Tao tried on various clothes while shopping. After a long time, they each bought a coat.
Qiao Liang let Qiao Liang carry the clothes they bought, and then the two of them entered a lingerie store. Qiao Liang did not go in, but waited outside while looking around casually.
At this time, someone gently tapped Qiao Liang's shoulder from behind. Qiao Liang looked back and said "Huh".
Fang Xiaoya and He Li stood beside him, smiling at him.
Qiao Liang hurriedly greeted them: "When did sister-in-law come back from the United States?"
He Li smiled and said, "I came back the day before yesterday."
"Is the child back?" Qiao Liang asked.
"No, the child is studying. I'm going to do some errands and will return to the United States in a few days." He Li said.
Qiao Liang blinked, today is the weekend, He Li is back, Xu Honggang will naturally return to Huangyuan to reunite with his wife.
As for Fang Xiaoya and He Li, they naturally came to see their cousin.
Maybe Fang Xiaoya and Xu Honggang came to Huang Yuan together.
"Where is Mayor Xu?" Qiao Liang looked at He Li and Fang Xiaoya.
Fang Xiaoya said: "He has something to do today. I am accompanying my cousin for a walk. You are here..."
Qiao Liang pointed to the underwear store: "I came here yesterday with Secretary An, and I will be shopping with his daughter and the nanny. They are inside."
Fang Xiaoya looked into the store and asked, "Which one is Secretary An's daughter?"
"Hey, that shawl hair." Qiao Liang pointed again.
Fang Xiaoya nodded while looking at her: "A pretty girl, she looks like a student."
"Yes, her name is An Ran. She is studying at university in Beijing. She is a senior and will be an intern after the year." Qiao Liang looked at Fang Xiaoya and suddenly felt something in her heart. An Zhe asked her to contact the internship unit for An Ran after the year. An Ran is studying economics and management.
Yes, doing an internship at Chint Group is not for your major?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Fang Xiaoya asked.
Qiao Liang told Fang Xiaoya what he thought, and Fang Xiaoya readily agreed.
"But I still have to seek the opinions of Secretary An and An Ran himself on this matter," Qiao Liang said.
"Yes, as long as Secretary An agrees, and as long as An Ran is willing, there is no problem with me." Fang Xiaoya nodded, looked at the bag in Qiao Liang's hand, and smiled, "It seems that you are doing it for these two beauties today.
Service.”
Qiao Liang grinned: "There is no way, An Ran has to drag me here."
"Since when are you going shopping with me like this?" Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang with a smile.
"This requires both you and me to have free time," Qiao Liang said.
"Hey, I'm afraid it's hard to find time when both you and I are free. We are both free today, but you have been requisitioned." Fang Xiaoya sighed.
Qiao Liang couldn't help laughing.
He Li also laughed, looked at Fang Xiaoya, then at Qiao Liang, her eyes moved slightly.
Then Fang Xiaoya and He Li left. Looking at their backs, thinking that Xu Honggang was also in Huangyuan today, Qiao Liang felt a little regretful. He had to go shopping with An Ran and Xiao Tao in the morning and An Zhe in the afternoon. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today.
It was empty to see Xu Honggang.
After a while, An Ran and Xiao Tao came out. Qiao Liang looked at the bags in their hands: "What did you buy?"
"What else can you buy in an underwear store?" An Ran said.
"Oh, what underwear did you buy? Does it look good?" Qiao Liang said.
"What? You want us to wear it and show it to you?" An Ran said.
Qiao Liang laughed, and Xiao Tao laughed too.
Smiling, Xiao Tao remembered the scene in Qiao Liang's room last night, her face turned slightly red and her expression was a little awkward.
Seeing Xiao Tao's expression, Qiao Liang knew what she was thinking about. Thinking of what she heard from Xiao Tao last night and the fact that she almost killed Xiao Tao in her excitement, her heart trembled.
An Ran was naturally unaware of what they were thinking at this time. Seeing Xiao Tao blushing, he thought she was embarrassed by what she just said and started laughing.
The three people were all laughing, but their smiles had different meanings.
After shopping until noon, everyone was a little tired and hungry, so we went to a nearby food court to eat.
An Ran wanted to eat Cantonese food, so he took everyone to a Cantonese restaurant, found a corner to sit down, and started ordering.
Qiao Liang was thinking about An Zhe, so while they were ordering, she came out and called An Zhe, saying that she and An Ran Xiaotao went shopping together in the morning and were about to have lunch.
An Zhe said he knew, and asked Qiao Liang to arrange for Zhao Qiang to send An Ran and Xiao Tao to the long-distance station after lunch, so that they could take the bus back to Jiangzhou first.
Qiao Liang thought for a moment: "Secretary An, taking the bus is too much trouble. Why don't we let Zhao Qiang send them back to Jiangzhou directly?"
Qiao Liang's idea is that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary's meeting will be held tomorrow and Zhao Qiang will send An Ran and Xiao Tao back to Jiangzhou today to rest for one night and return to Huangyuan tomorrow without delaying anything.
"Xiao Qiao, this arrangement of yours is a toss-up. It's a toss-up for Xiao Zhao." An Zhe said and hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang shook his head. Since An Zhe said so, he had no choice but to obey him.
Qiao Liang put away her cell phone and was about to go back to the restaurant when she accidentally looked up and saw two people walking over from the opposite side.
These two people, one is Xu Honggang and the other is a man in his 40s, they are talking and laughing.
When Qiao Liang saw them, Xu Honggang also saw Qiao Liang and raised his hand to greet him.
Qiao Liang hurriedly greeted him, and Xu Honggang immediately introduced Qiao Liang and the man to each other.
It turned out that this man was Xu Honggang's successor, the director of the Information Department of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee.
The director learned Qiao Liang's identity and shook hands with him with a smile.
"You and Secretary An came to Huangyuan to hold a meeting of municipal party committee secretaries, right?" Xu Honggang seemed to know about this.
Qiao Liang nodded.
"Where's Secretary An?" Xu Honggang asked.
"Secretary An is at home. I went shopping with his family and were preparing to have lunch." Qiao Liang pointed to the restaurant.
Xu Honggang nodded and continued: "We are preparing to go to the western restaurant in front for dinner. Today I also made an appointment with the leader in charge when I worked in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He will be there in a moment. Let's go there and wait for him."
Qiao Liang nodded. It turned out that Xu Honggang was not only having dinner with the director of the Information Department at noon today, but also the deputy director in charge of the Information Department.
Judging from Xu Honggang's tone, it was his treat at noon today.
I don’t know if Xu Honggang’s treat today was simply to catch up with old leaders and successors in charge, or for something else.
At this time, Qiao Liang didn't think too much until something happened later that made him connect that incident with this dinner.
