Liang Jian didn't know whether Zhu Mingtang's secretary would call him on a mobile phone or a landline later, so he had to wait in the office. Please search (book fan building) to see the most complete novel! The fastest updated novels. After waiting for about five minutes, Liang Jian answered
The call to the secretary was from a landline.
After the secretary told him the location, he asked Liang Jian how long it would take to arrive.
Liang Jian had never heard of that place, so he checked it on his mobile phone before telling him.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian called home and sat there for a while before getting up and setting off.
There was a bit of traffic on the road, and when we got there, it was six or seven minutes longer than the time Liang Jian had agreed with his secretary. The secretary was already waiting for him at the door.
Seeing Liang Jian, he took a step forward, shook hands with Liang Jian, and said, "The minister is already waiting inside."
Liang Jian smiled at him sheepishly and said, "There's a traffic jam on the road. I'm late."
"It's during peak hours, so traffic jams are very common," the secretary replied.
After saying that, he turned around and led Liang Jian inside.
When Liang Jian entered, Zhu Mingtang was on the phone. When he heard the door open, he immediately ended the call, then pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Sit down."
Liang Jian did not move and said first: "I'm sorry, Minister Zhu, there was a bit of traffic on the road. I'm late and I kept you waiting for a long time."
Minister Zhu waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Sit down and talk." When he spoke, there was no smile on his face, and he looked a little solemn.
Liang Jian sat down in that position. As soon as he sat down, the secretary brought a cup of tea, placed it in front of him, and then went out. Only Zhu Mingtang and Liang Jian were left in the room.
Before the food was served, Zhu Mingtang didn't seem to be in a hurry to get to the point. He first talked about Jiang Shihuan's conversation with Liang Jian for him. He asked: "Did the conversation go well this morning?"
Liang Jian nodded: "Smooth."
The corner of Zhu Mingtang's mouth moved slightly, and he smiled, and then said: "Deputy Director Jiang has a good relationship with you, and I will not cause you any problems."
Liang Jian smiled and did not answer.
Then, Zhu Mingtang said: "The next step should be soon, but we still need to pay attention to the publicity period."
"Well, thank you, Minister Zhu." Liang Jian said.
Zhu Mingtang raised his eyes and glanced at his face, and then suddenly said: "You don't need to thank me, you have never been the person I wanted to choose."
Liang Jian was silent for a moment and replied: "I know."
Zhu Mingtang was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Liang Jian not only to not be embarrassed, but to answer him like this. He paused and said, "When you came to me with your things that day, did you already think of this ending?"
?”
Liang Jian thought for a moment before replying: "Actually, I don't have much hope for myself, because I know from the beginning that you have always supported Director Zhen. However, my family and friends have advised me to fight for it, so
I just went to visit you that day."
Zhu Mingtang stared at him for a while and said, "Do you know what's in that box?"
"I don't know." Liang Jian answered truthfully. He really didn't know. He didn't ask his father-in-law, and his father-in-law didn't tell him.
Zhu Mingtang stared at him for a while and then asked: "Do you know what that person sent that night?"
Just as Liang Jiang was about to answer, there was a sudden knock on the door. Then, the door opened. It was the secretary, and behind the secretary was the waiter. The waiter walked in pushing the dining cart, and the secretary followed beside him.
After the dishes were laid out, the secretary and waiter went out again.
Liang Jian looked at the dishes and wondered whether he should continue the topic. At this time, Minister Zhu said: "Let's eat first."
Liang Jian swallowed his words.
Perhaps because it was Zhu Mingtang who was having dinner with him today, or perhaps because he was pretentious, the food felt a little lacking in taste. After taking a few bites, Liang Jian put down his chopsticks, and so did Zhu Mingtang.
The two looked at each other. Liang Jian thought for a moment and then answered the previous question: "I don't know what happened that day."
"You didn't ask?" Zhu Mingtang asked.
Liang Jian thought for a moment and said: "Since the matter has happened, and the result is still beneficial to me, what difference does it make if I ask or not?"
Zhu Mingtang stared at him for a long time, and then suddenly laughed. This time, he really laughed.
After a long while, he said: "It seems that you are still an interesting person."
Liang Jian laughed and said, "Very few people say that I am an interesting person. Thank you for your compliment."
After the words fell, Zhu Mingtang suddenly stopped smiling. His face suddenly changed, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But I don't like threats."
Liang Jian thought that his guess was correct. However, at this time, Minister Zhu said such words to Liang Jian, which was a bit of an afterthought. If he really didn't like it, why should he compromise? Of course, this could not be said in front of Zhu
Say it in front of the minister.
Liang Jian replied: "I'm not the one threatening you, so you shouldn't say this to me, right?"
Zhu Mingtang pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth curved down, obviously displeased.
Liang Jian looked calm. He smiled and said: "Actually, you should know that this is not a threat at all. It is just a transaction. However, they may be worried that ordinary chips cannot convince you, so they don't
Be careful, the chips are too heavy. If you think this offends you, then I apologize to you on their behalf. But I am a little curious, what is this chip?"
Zhu Mingtang did not answer Liang Jian's words. He squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Jian. The light in his eyes kept changing. It was obvious that he was struggling in his heart.
Liang Jian was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
After a while, Zhu Mingtang finally spoke and said: "You are right, this is indeed a deal. But what I can't figure out is, since you have such great ability, why do you want to compete with Zhen Dongwen for a survey?
The position of the director of the department?”
Liang Jian smiled and replied: "Because I am the one competing for the position, but it is not me who makes the deal with you."
Zhu Mingtang frowned and stopped talking.
After a while, Liang Jian felt that he had said what he should say today, and it would be meaningless to say it any more. Liang Jian stood up, looked at Zhu Mingtang and said: "Minister Zhu, I really don't know what happened that night.
I know what it is, but my family doesn't have any other intentions, they just want to help me. If it has offended me, I sincerely apologize to you here, and I hope you don't take it seriously. I hope you can give me more advice in the future.
"
"I dare not give you advice." Minister Zhu replied, his tone a bit stiff.
Liang Jian didn't care, smiled, and said: "Thank you for the dinner. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
Minister Zhu looked at him without saying anything.
Liang Jian bowed slightly, then turned around and went out. After going out, he found that Zhu Mingtang's secretary was standing one meter next to the door. Although his body was slightly leaning against the wall, his eyes were always looking at the occasional person in the corridor.
people who show up.
Liang Jian's heart suddenly trembled. At this time, the secretary looked over and was a little surprised to see him coming out so quickly, and asked: "Is this?"
Liang Jiandao: "I'm leaving first. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, it should be." The secretary forced a smile.
When Liang Jian turned around and left, the secretary kept staring at him from behind. He waited until he was gone before he turned around and entered the room.
After entering, the secretary stood by the door, without looking up at Zhu Mingtang sitting at the table, and asked softly: "Minister, should we leave now?"
Minister Zhu looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'll eat it later," the secretary replied.
Minister Zhu said: "The food is still hot, you can sit down and eat."
The secretary didn't refuse. He took a pair of bowls and chopsticks nearby, walked over and pulled out the chair next to where Liang Jian was sitting, sat down and ate.
While he was eating, Minister Zhu kept sitting there, his eyes seemingly staring at the secretary, but in fact he was wandering.
After a while, he suddenly asked his secretary: "What do you think of Liang Jian?"
The secretary paused for a moment with his chopsticks, then put it down, straightened his body and replied: "I'm not bad, but I'm a bit bookish."
"Are you bookish?" Minister Zhu frowned and said, "I can see a bit of arrogance."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm not very good at reading people."
"You go ahead and eat." After Minister Zhu finished speaking, he began to wander again. The secretary glanced at him, lowered his head and continued eating.
Let’s talk about Liang Jian.
When they got home, they had just had dinner. Xiang Jin took Nishang to take a bath, and Minister Xiang and his aunt were playing with Tang Li. When Liang Jian came in, Minister Xiang glanced at him, and then gave Tang Li a
The man walked towards Liang Jian.
"Come to the study." Minister Xiang walked a few steps, stood still and said to Liang Jian, then turned around and went to the study.
Liang Jian hurriedly followed.
When he entered, Minister Xiang didn't let him sit down, so he asked, "I heard that your father did something big this time."
Liang Jian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Minister Xiang actually knew about this. He thought about it and felt that Cai Gen should have told him about this.
Minister Xiang didn't like the Tang family very much before. Later, because of his relationship, his attitude seemed to have softened. However, listening to the tone of his words just now, it was obvious that he had opinions about this matter.
Seeing that Liang Jian didn't speak for a few seconds, Minister Xiang frowned and said unhappily: "Why don't you speak?"
Liang Jian hurriedly came to his senses and said: "Actually, I don't know much about this matter, but after all, they are doing it for my own good. Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to go up this time."
Minister Xiang suddenly got angry, slammed his hand on the table, and loudly lectured Liang Jian: "It's better not to get up than to use this method! The competition between you and Zhen Dongwen, even if you give gifts, as long as you don't
It's illegal and it's normal competition. But if your father does this, it violates the rules of this game. This is chaos!"
Liang Jian didn't expect that Minister Xiang would suddenly become so angry, and was startled. He was stunned for a while before he recovered. He didn't think about why Minister Xiang suddenly became so angry, so he apologized and smiled.
No matter what, I apologized to my father-in-law.
Minister Xiang's anger gradually subsided, and he finally calmed down after a while. He looked at Liang Jian and said, "Officialdom is officialdom. Don't mess with it with the Tang family's underworld methods. Once you get started, you won't be able to stop it."
!The situation in Beijing has become better in the past two years. If your father takes this initiative again, it will not turn into a mess in the future? Who will clean it up? Can you clean it up? You have to know that although Beijing is not a big place, it is huge.
In the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Tang family has not yet reached the stage of dominance!"
When Liang Jian heard this, he felt that something was wrong. If Tang Yi just grabbed some information about Zhu Mingtang and threatened him as he knew, then in Liang Jian's opinion, it was not that big of a deal.
Even if there was something wrong with Tang Yi's intervention, his father-in-law would not be so angry, nor would there be as serious consequences as he said. However, Minister Xiang was angry, and Liang Jian
It's not easy to ask more questions, so I can only answer first. As for what is going on, I can only wait until Minister Xiang has completely calmed down, and then ask slowly.
