"Don't say that, boss, you have cultivated me with your own hands. Over the years, I am only grateful to you. I can enjoy blessings with you, so naturally I should also share hardships with you." Qiao Liang said from the bottom of his heart.
Li Youwei nodded movedly: "I heard that you fought hard with the Discipline Inspection Commission for a day and a night, but didn't say anything. Alas, I'm not as good as you, and finally couldn't bear it."
"Zhang Lin, the director of the third room, is very hateful. This bitch is so cruel and ruthless. It's understandable that you can't handle it." Qiao Liang said angrily.
"Zhang Lin is not to blame for this. She is responsible for this. It's my fault that I shouldn't have stretched out my hand. If I did, I would be caught..." Li Youwei smiled bitterly.
At this time, Gu Shuyun said: "Liang Zi, you guys chat, I'll go out to buy groceries and have dinner at home tonight."
Qiao Liang used to often eat at Li Youwei's house, and Gu Shuyun's cooking was delicious.
After Gu Shuyun went out, Qiao Liang said: "Minister Xu wanted to see you, but he was too busy with work, so he asked me to come see you on his behalf."
Li Youwei nodded: "As Xu Honggang, it is inconvenient to see me now, which is understandable."
After many years of experience in official circles, Li Youwei told the truth in one word.
Qiao Liang smiled sheepishly. It would be difficult to lie in front of the old leader.
"Do you know why Xu Honggang fished you out of the mountain?" Li Youwei said.
"I didn't know before, but I just found out recently." Qiao Liang then told Li Youwei the truth.
Li Youwei nodded after listening: "I didn't expect you to have such a classmate. I didn't expect Xu Honggang to have such a relationship with your classmate. It seems that you are destined to meet a noble person."
"The most noble person in my life is actually you, Fang Xiaoya is just a coincidence."
"Before my accident, I was indeed the noble person in your life, but after my accident, I became the biggest scourge in your life."
Qiao Liang hurriedly shook his head: "A noble person is a noble person. Even if there are some twists and turns during the period, the nature will never change."
"Liang Zi, after experiencing this setback, you seem to have become more mature. These words sound quite philosophical." Li Youwei chuckled.
"Boss, after going through this ordeal, I think you will soon start a new life."
"Rebirth? Where is my new life? What kind of new life should I start?" Li Youwei pondered, as if asking Qiao Liang, but also asking himself.
Qiao Liang was silent for a moment. Yes, with Li Youwei's current status, who would use him? Who would dare to use him?
In the past, when Li Youwei was on the stage, the house was full of guests, but now that everyone is trying to avoid him, no one will deal with him.
Although Li Youwei fell, Qiao Liang has always admired Li Youwei's ability. Li Youwei not only has a good way in politics, but is also very ethical in management and operation. He has been the top leader of the newspaper for just a few years.
Advertising revenue has doubled year after year, printing and distribution have also turned a profit, and diversified operations are also booming.
At that time, Li Youwei was ambitious and planned to establish the first prefecture-level newspaper group in the province within two years.
Unexpectedly, my ambition failed unfulfilled.
Although Li Youwei is arbitrary and arbitrary in his work, newspaper employees all admire and support him because he has greatly increased everyone's income and made them more motivated to work.
Of course, except for Wen Yuan and Si Shengjie.
At this time the doorbell rang, Qiao Liang went to open the door, and was a little surprised when he saw someone, Liu Yiping.
Liu Yiping came in carrying something and asked Li Youwei to inquire about his welfare.
"Secretary Li, Minister Xu called me at noon and told me the news that you were coming out. I was so happy when I heard that I hurried to see you."
Li Youwei was a little moved, Xu Honggang is quite interesting.
At this time, Gu Shuyun came back from shopping and left Liu Yiping to have dinner at home. Liu Yiping readily agreed and went to the kitchen to help Gu Shuyun cook.
As night fell, the lights in Li Youwei's restaurant were warm and cozy. Li Youwei and Gu Shuyun sat on one side of the dining table, Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping sat on the other side. Li Youwei opened Maotai, and Gu Shuyun poured it for everyone.
Li Youwei raised his glass and looked at Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping: "Thank you both, you were the first to see me after I came out. Thank you also to Minister Xu."
Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping raised their glasses, and Qiao Liang said emotionally: "Boss, you have suffered."
"Yes, Secretary Li, you have suffered a lot in there, and your friends are very concerned about you." Liu Yiping also raised his glass.
"Friend..." Li Youwei smiled sadly and finished the meal in one gulp.
Everyone did it.
Then Li Youwei said: "Yiping, Liang Zi, don't call me Secretary Li or Boss anymore. I'm just a commoner now. It's not good to call me like that anymore."
Liu Yiping blinked: "Then...I will call you Brother Li from now on."
"Okay, please call me eldest brother." Gu Shuyun said, and Li Youwei nodded.
"I don't. I'm used to calling you boss. It would be awkward to change my words. I will still call you boss from now on." Qiao Liang said stubbornly.
Li Youwei smiled helplessly, Gu Shuyun's eyes were moved, and Liu Yiping's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Director Qiao, for your love for Brother Li, I offer you a glass of wine." Liu Yiping raised his glass and looked at Qiao Liang.
"Minister Liu, I'm very touched that you came to see the boss today, and I respect you." Qiao Liang also raised his glass and looked at Liu Yiping.
When their eyes met, Qiao Liang saw that there seemed to be something different in Liu Yiping's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
Everyone chatted while drinking, and quickly drank up two bottles of Maotai.
Li Youwei drank a lot. He drank two bottles of Maotai. Qiao Liang and Liu Yiping drank one bottle. Gu Shuyun drank one bottle. Gu Shuyun drank less than one tael. Qiao Liang drank half a catty and Liu Yiping drank four taels.
Liu Yiping's face was red and she was obviously drunk, and Qiao Liang was also slightly drunk.
After dinner, everyone drank tea in the living room and then said goodbye.
Seeing that Liu Yiping was very drunk, Li Youwei asked Qiao Liang to take Liu Yiping back to the hotel. Qiao Liang agreed and helped Liu Yiping out. Liu Yiping's car was waiting at the door.
After getting in the car, the driver drove straight to the hotel.
When Liu Yiping came to Jiangzhou this time, she did not stay in Jiangzhou Hotel, but in a four-star hotel.
Liu Yiping and Qiao Liang were sitting in the back seat. Liu Yiping leaned against Qiao Liang, her eyes fixed and she said nothing.
When they arrived at the hotel, Qiao Liang helped Liu Yiping go to the room.
After entering, Liu Yiping sat down on the edge of the bed, her eyes still dazed, and she stared blankly at Qiao Liang.
"If you can't drink, just drink less. Why are you drinking so much?" Qiao Liang poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Yiping.
Liu Yiping drank up the water in one breath, and then said: "Secretary Li is out, I'm happy."
"I'm happy but I can't drink so much. Let's go to bed early. I'm going back." Qiao Liang was about to leave.
"Don't leave."
"What are you doing?" Qiao Liang looked back at Liu Yiping.
"Sit down and chat with me for a while." Liu Yiping patted the bed next to her and shook her body.
"What are we talking about?" Qiao Liang sat down next to Liu Yiping.
Liu Yiping turned her head and looked at Qiao Liang intently. Qiao Liang's heart beat faster when she saw it. This girl looked so enchanting when she was drunk.
"I said, why are you always looking at me like this?" Qiao Liang swallowed a few times.
Liu Yiping shook his head drunkenly: "Qiao Liang, I finally understand today."
