Liang Jian asked her what her idea was. Xiang Jin shook his head and refused to say anything. Liang Jian couldn't force it. When Xiang Jin went out with the bowl, Liang Jian organized his words and called Jiang Shihuan.
He and Jiang Shihuan hadn't seen each other for a while. Jiang Shihuan was a little happy when he heard that Liang Jian invited him to dinner. He didn't think much about it and immediately agreed.
Liang Jian felt that Jiang Shihuan agreed without asking anything, and felt a little surprised and a little regretful. It was as if Liang Jian had arranged a Hongmen banquet for Jiang Shihuan.
However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
The next night, Liang Jian got off work a little early, picked up Xiang Jin from school, and went to a place to eat together. The place was arranged by Xiang Jin.
When she got up this morning, Xiang Jin proposed it herself and said that she would arrange the place to eat. Liang Jian had no objection. Xiang Jin was more familiar with Beijing than she was, and she was not an ordinary girl. Let her do this kind of thing. Liang Jian
Still don't worry.
The place arranged by Xiang Jin is a private kitchen like a bookstore. However, although it is like a bookstore, this bookstore is different from ordinary bookstores. As soon as you enter this 'bookstore', it is like entering a history exhibition hall.
Not only Chinese history, but also foreign history. Even famous books on the changes of each foreign country are on display. There are at least thousands of books in this store.
The store is not very big, with two floors. But as soon as you enter, you can see books everywhere. Even the smell of book pages is floating in the air. Liang Jian is undoubtedly shocked. He has also been to many unique hotels and tea rooms.
But I have never seen anything like this.
As soon as Liang Jian arrived here, he was already sure that Jiang Shihuan would like this place. He is a person who is very interested in history. This place is like a history exhibition hall. How could he not like it when he got here?
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Shihuan walked in here, his eyes widened. Then, he didn't even bother to say hello to Liang Jian, and wandered around the room. It wasn't until the food was served that he was reluctantly called back by Yang Xiumei. After sitting down,
, the first thing he said to Liang Jian was: "When I retire in the future, I will have to buy a house like this."
Yang Xiumei glanced at him and said, "The books you have at home are not much worse than this one."
When Jiang Shihuan heard this, he immediately said: "That's different!"
"I think it's the same!" Yang Xiumei seemed to deliberately argue with him. Jiang Shihuan looked at her with some dissatisfaction. Yang Xiumei laughed, and then said to Liang Jian and Xiang Jin: "He is like this, everything else is fine.
, it’s this hobby that no one else can say a word about.”
Liang Jian smiled and took over the words: "Hobby, it can be called a hobby because of love. Of course, people can't talk about what they love casually. I understand this. Moreover, Brother Jiang's hobby is not nothing.
A good hobby, Sister Yang, don’t you think so?”
"That's true." Yang Xiumei said with a smile.
Jiang Shihuan interrupted at this moment, looked at Liang Jian and asked: "Do you know the boss here?"
Liang Jian asked him what was wrong, and Jiang Shihuan said that he had just seen two unique books in the collection of books on the second floor, which could no longer be found on the market. He thought that if he knew the boss, he would like to see if he could get these books from him.
It’s good to buy two books, even one. It’s not a problem if they are expensive.
Liang Jian didn't expect that Jiang Shihuan still had this idea. However, it could be seen that Jiang Shihuan really liked it. However, Xiang Jin contacted this store, so Liang Jian turned to look at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin smiled slightly and said to Jiang Shihuan: "Which two books are Brother Jiang interested in?"
Jiang Shihuan's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you know the boss here?"
Xiang Jin nodded slightly and said, "The boss is a friend of mine."
"Well, wouldn't that be good?" Jiang Shihuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Xiang Jin said: "It's okay. You tell me the names of the two books you like first, and then I'll go to him to talk to him. If he's willing, how about you talk to him face to face?"
"Okay! OK! Then I'll trouble my younger siblings!" Jiang Shihuan was so happy that he was a little incoherent!
The meal started well. Liang Jian has known Jiang Shihuan so far, and he has never seen Jiang Shihuan so happy. Liang Jian suddenly felt more confident in the success of this matter.
Then comes dinner. The dishes in this private kitchen are not special, they are all common home-cooked dishes, but the taste is exceptionally delicious. Xiang Jin said that every ingredient used in the dishes in this restaurant is
It is natural and pollution-free. Some of it is grown or raised by the boss himself, some of it is obtained from several farmers in the mountains who cooperate with it, and some of it is flown in on the same day. In addition, this store has a unique cooking style.
method, so the taste is particularly delicious. It is rare to eat such delicious and healthy things outside.
Obviously, Jiang Shihuan and his wife were very satisfied with the taste of the food here. Xiang Jin didn't order a lot of food, which was just enough for four people. After eating, Liang Jiangang was about to say, why not sit somewhere and have a cup of tea. But he hadn't said anything yet.
, a waiter came over and asked if the tea should be served now or after a while.
Liang Jian glanced at Xiang Jin in surprise, and Xiang Jin smiled at him, and then said to the waiter: "Give us four cups of white water first, and the tea will wait a while."
After the waiter left, Xiang Jin said to Jiang Shihuan and his wife: "Sorry, I ordered all the tea without asking your opinion. The tea here is also quite unique, so I made my own decision."
Yang Xiumei took over: "It's okay, you are more familiar with us than us, so it is best for you to make the decision."
Jiang Shihuan was still thinking about the books here. Where could he sit? He had already left the table before the boiled water was served. As soon as he left, Xiang Jin said to Liang Jian: "Don't you also like reading? No.
Let’s go take a look together?”
Liang Jian felt that next to Xiang Jin, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he was too busy.
Xiang Jin and Yang Xiumei were left alone at the dining table. After the boiled water came up, Xiang Jin said to Yang Xiumei: "Sister Xiumei, actually we asked you to go out for dinner today. Our purpose is not simple."
Yang Xiumei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tell me what it is."
Just as Xiang Jin was about to speak, Yang Xiumei added: "However, I can't make the decision alone. I have to discuss it with my husband."
"I understand." Xiang Jin said.
Yang Xiumei glanced at her and then said, "Just tell me."
Xiang Jin told Yang Xiumei what Liang Jian told her last night. After hearing this, Yang Xiumei frowned slightly. Yang Xiumei knew about Dong Bin, and she also knew something about the Dongcheng Power Station.
The reason why Xiang Jin told Yang Xiumei this matter was because he knew this.
"That Dong Bin is not simple." Yang Xiumei looked at Xiang Jin and said. Obviously, she didn't really want to cooperate with Liang Jian, and this meaning was already expressed in these eight words.
This is not surprising. People's instinct is to protect themselves first. Even if Yang Xiumei, who has had many contacts with the Dongcheng Power Station project in the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Dongcheng Power Station project, is not very clear about Dong Bin's strength, she is still seven or eight points.
She chose to protect herself wisely, and she spoke very implicitly without rejecting him directly. To a certain extent, it showed that she regarded Xiang Jin as a friend.
Xiang Jin was not surprised by her attitude. Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's really not easy, so I want to ask Brother Jiang for help."
Yang Xiumei's brows furrowed again, she pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then said: "I have no say in this matter, I have to ask my husband."
Xiang Jin shook his head at her and said, "Both Liang Jian and I know your importance in Brother Jiang's heart. So, I hope Sister Xiumei that you can help Liang Jian say something in front of Brother Jiang."
Yang Xiumei frowned even more tightly. But she still endured it and did not reject Xiang Jin directly.
But Xiang Jin also knew that her silence did not mean that she agreed. So, Xiang Jin said again: "Brother Jiang is so talented that a deputy minister is too unfair to him. In fact, this matter is not an opportunity for Brother Jiang."
Oh! He is still young now. As long as he can seize the opportunity, it is very possible to go up to another level, or even two levels."
Yang Xiumei's expression moved slightly, but she still didn't let go.
Xiang Jin added: "Also, although Dong Bin is not simple, my Xiang family is not simple either. Sister Xiumei, don't you think so?"
Yang Xiumei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Xiang Jin smiled and then said: "Actually, if Brother Jiang is willing to help, you don't have to worry. Just let Liang Jian do all the positive things. If it fails, Liang Jian will also be Dong Bin's primary target. Brother Jiang
It won't have any big impact. If it succeeds, you should also know Liang Jian's character. He will not compete with Brother Jiang for credit. Moreover, I heard that Minister Zhu of Brother Jiang's department seems to be preparing to leave Beijing recently.
Already."
When Xiang Jin said the last sentence, Yang Xiumei's expression changed again. Thinking about it, she probably didn't know this news yet. And Xiang Jin also spent a long time to find out this news from Minister Xiang during the day. Jiang Shihuan
Being able to reach this position today has a lot to do with Yang Xiumei's father. But now, Yang Xiumei's father is no longer here. This time, once Zhu Mingtang leaves, it will be difficult for Jiang Shihuan to compete for the position of minister without help.
When Xiang Jin said this, he was actually telling Yang Xiumei that if Jiang Shihuan was willing to help them, he would also help him with the position of minister.
Yang Xiumei was obviously tempted, but she still didn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment, and then relaxed his slightly frowned brows. She calmed down again, slowly drank some water, and changed the subject.
When talking about other things, Yang Xiumei was obviously a little distracted, and Xiang Jin didn't care. She was distracted, which meant that what Xiang Jin said just now had touched her. As Xiang Jin expected, Yang Xiumei seemed indifferent, but in fact, she was also
I have always been very persistent about some things.
After about twenty minutes, Liang Jian asked the waiter to serve tea. At this time, Liang Jian and Jiang Shihuan also came back. Jiang Shihuan's expression lost the excitement before, thinking that Liang Jian had already told Jiang Shihuan about the matter.
"Brother Jiang, try this tea and see how it goes." Liang Jian said as soon as he sat down.
Xiang Jin said: "The legality of this tea is different from the ordinary ones." After saying that, she made it herself. Jiang Shihuan saw that she was drinking in a strange way, so he was attracted to it, and his face was not as clear as when he first came here.
That slightly solemn look.
The tea was good, and the way to drink it was strange enough, but I had something on my mind and couldn't concentrate on drinking the tea. Therefore, the four of them didn't stay long.
When they separated, Liang Jian said to Jiang Shihuan: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to rush to answer me about that matter, but I really need your help."
Jiang Shihuan looked at him, hesitated, and said to him: "I will reply to you as soon as possible."
Yang Xiumei glanced at the two of them with complicated eyes, and then followed Jiang Shihuan into the car.
