Li Youwei smiled slightly, "You are not wandering, but your heart is wandering. Now that you are getting engaged, I think your heart can settle down."
Li Youwei's words left Qiao Liang unable to refute. Li Youwei was right. After divorcing Zhang Mei, he was wandering around like a prodigal emotionally. Now it's time for him to calm down. 81 Chinese net
The two of them were drinking and chatting, thinking about the past. Whether it was Qiao Liang or Li Youwei, both of them were filled with emotion. The scenes when they worked in Sanjiang in the past seemed to be still vivid in their minds. Looking back on the past, Li Youwei didn't Thinking that one day he would lose his public position in the system and become the boss of a private company, and that Qiao Liang, who was still young and immature at the time and needed his care and support, would now reach this level, Li Youwei could foresee that he would already be a director at a young age. Qiao Liang, after becoming Liao Gufeng's son-in-law, may reach a height that no one can predict in the future.
The two of them chatted and reminisced about the past, and finished a bottle of red wine in a short while. Li Youwei opened another bottle in high spirits. Qiao Liang didn't refuse, and he and Li Youwei drank to their heart's content. Finally, Qiao Liang asked the driver to return to the apartment.
After entering the dormitory, Qiao Liang lay half-lying on the sofa. After looking at the time, Qiao Liang thought for a moment and called Liao Gufeng.
On the other end of the phone, Liao Gufeng, who was already lying on the bed reading and getting ready to take a rest, saw a bright light flashing in his eyes when he saw Qiao Liang calling so late. He touched his wife next to him with his arm and said, "This guy is calling from Qiao Liang. Why call me so late?" Call, they will probably give us a reply."
When Lu Qian's mother heard that the call was from Qiao Liang, she immediately sat up and said to her husband, "Hurry up and answer the call. Let's hear what Qiao Liang said."
Liao Gufeng gave his wife a funny look and said, "You are more anxious than me."
As he said this, Liao Gufeng picked up Qiao Liang's call and asked knowingly, "Xiao Qiao, why are you calling so late?"
Qiao Liang said, "Secretary Liao, I have already thought about it. I will follow your arrangement regarding the engagement between Lu Qian and I."
Although Qiao Liang had called Liao Gufeng Uncle Liao before, due to years of habit, he still called him Secretary Liao at this time.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Liao Gufeng showed a smile on his face, "Xiao Qiao, have you thought it through?"
Qiao Liang nodded, "Secretary Liao, I've thought about it carefully."
With an expression of relief on his face, Liao Gufeng said half-jokingly, "Xiao Qiao, from now on we will be a family. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to still call me Secretary Liao? I think you should change your tune."
Qiao Liang was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He couldn't let him change his name to "Dad" now, right? He wasn't married yet, so he really couldn't say it out.
Liao Gufeng just said casually at this moment, his mind was on the upcoming engagement party, and said, "Xiao Qiao, since you have decided, the engagement party between you and Xiaoqian must be held as soon as possible. I want I’ll help you have a glorious engagement ceremony.”
The reason why Liao Gufeng wanted to do this was not to save face, but because he had practical considerations. If he didn't have a lively engagement ceremony, then there would be no point in urging Qiao Liang to make a decision so quickly. His purpose was I want everyone in the circle to know that my daughter is engaged.
Liao Gufeng had his own ideas, but Qiao Liang hesitated. He didn't want to make it known to everyone. At least for this engagement party, Qiao Liang wanted to keep a low profile. He didn't want people to say that he was clinging to the Liao family. Power.
Part of Qiao Liang's concerns at this time were due to his pride, and another reason was that Qiao Liang's mentality had not completely changed.
Liao Gufeng didn't know what Qiao Liang was thinking, so he continued, "Xiao Qiao, I will make arrangements in the next two days to go to Jiangzhou in person."
Hearing Liao Gufeng's words, Qiao Liang came to his senses and asked, "Secretary Liao, does this engagement party have to be a big one?"
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Yes, otherwise how would others know that my daughter, Liao Gufeng, is engaged."
After hearing this, Qiao Liang suddenly didn't know what to say. The reason why Liao Gufeng urged him to get engaged with Lu Qian this time was also mentioned to him before. Qiao Liang now understood the reason why Liao Gufeng wanted to be famous, but Qiao Liang also I also have some concerns of my own.
Qiao Liang was thinking about how to put forward his ideas to Liao Gufeng tactfully, when he heard Liao Gufeng say again, "Xiao Qiao, regarding the specific matters of the engagement, we will discuss it in detail when we get to Jiangzhou. I have to go and visit him." Your parents, let’s talk about how to arrange the engagement at that time.”
Qiao Liang came back to his senses, and then remembered that Liao Gufeng had just said that he was coming to Jiangzhou, and said quickly, "Secretary Liao, are you making a special trip to Jiangzhou to see my parents?"
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Of course, for such a big event as an engagement, the two parents must meet."
Qiao Liang scratched his head and said, "Secretary Liao, you are so busy with work, so you don't need to make a special trip. You can just call my parents and tell me, and then you can make specific arrangements for the engagement. My parents are more casual."
Liao Gufeng immediately said, "How can this be done? If I just make a phone call, it would be disrespectful to your parents. Besides, no matter how the engagement is arranged, I have to discuss it with your parents. Otherwise, isn't it just a courtesy?" None."
Qiao Liang wanted to say something else, but Liao Gufeng interrupted directly, "Xiao Qiao, it's settled, I will go to Jiangzhou in the next two days, and we will meet and talk then."
After Liao Gufeng finished speaking, he was in a good mood and joked, "Xiao Qiao, you can't call me Secretary Liao now. Last time I called you, you called me Uncle Liao. Why are you calling me Uncle Liao now?" Secretary? Isn't it because you are dissatisfied with me for getting you and Xiaoqian engaged?"
"No, no." Qiao Liang quickly shook his head and explained, "Liao Shu... well, Uncle Liao, because I used to call you Secretary Liao for a long time. This call became smooth and I forgot to change it."
"Then you have to remember that you can't call him Secretary Liao anymore." Liao Gufeng chuckled. Qiao Liang and Lu Qian were just preparing to get engaged, so Liao Gufeng didn't ask Qiao Liang to call him dad now, but when he thought of Qiao Liang, Liang will become the son-in-law of the Liao family in the future, and Liao Gufeng is in a good mood. He undoubtedly likes Qiao Liang very much. He falls in love with his daughter and has a special liking for Qiao Liang. Now that he can see the two of them coming together, Liao Gufeng I feel extremely happy.
After checking the time, Liao Gufeng said, "Xiao Qiao, it's getting late now, so let's do this for now. You should go to bed early. I'll look at the detailed schedule when I go to work tomorrow and then determine the time to go to Jiangzhou. But that's it. It happened in the past two days."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang said, "Uncle Liao, you are so busy at work. In fact, there is really no need for you to come here. You can just call my parents and tell me."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, maybe you think this is not a big deal, but in the eyes of your parents, it is a big deal for their son to get engaged. As the girl's parent, I will personally visit your parents to discuss the engagement. That's natural, and it's the most basic respect for your parents."
When Qiao Liang heard what Liao Gufeng insisted on saying, he couldn't help but said, "Uncle Liao, according to you, the man's family went to the woman's house to discuss the engagement. It should be my parents who went to the capital to visit you."
Liao Gufeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who visits whom. It just so happens that Lu Qian's mother and I also want to visit Lu Qian, so it won't be troublesome for us to go there."
Liao Gufeng actually considered that both Qiao Liang's parents were honest farmers.
