Liang Jian was cruel and stood there without moving. He stretched out his hand to push away Liang Po's hand that was holding his arm. He tried his best to appear cold and said: "Liang Po, this is in a hotel. It doesn't look good. Shumilou
"
Liang Po turned around and looked at him, suddenly smiled coquettishly and said, "Do you mean that you can have sex in a hotel?"
When Liang Jian heard this, his head suddenly got big and he hurriedly said: "You know what I mean."
Liang Po put away his smile, rolled his eyes at Liang Jian, and said, "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Liang Jian couldn't help but feel helpless. Sometimes this woman Liang Po was quite cute, but sometimes she was like a little devil, making people want to bite her.
"I'm a married man." Liang Jian took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible.
Liang Po replied calmly: "I know. You still have a wedding ring on your hand, and I'm not blind."
"Since you can see it, if you have something to say in the future, don't do anything, okay?"
Liang Po wore high heels today and stood there, not much shorter than Liang Jian. After hearing Liang Jian's words, Liang Po suddenly took a big step forward. Liang Jian didn't have time to react, and she was in front of him in an instant. Wen Nuan
His breath blew on his face with a hint of elegant perfume. The irritability in Liang Jian's heart disappeared immediately after being blown by this gentle fragrance.
Liang Jian came to his senses, and immediately took a step back, closing the distance between him and Liang Po. Liang Po laughed, looked at Liang Jian teasingly, and said, "Liang Jian, you have really changed.
In the past, you didn’t have such an attitude towards beautiful women.”
Liang Jian wanted to reply, it's because you are not a beauty. But this was really against his will. Although Liang Po was a little old, it could not hide the fact that she was a beauty.
Moreover, there seemed to be something else in her words. Liang Jian frowned and asked her: "What do you mean by this, do you know me before?"
Liang Po smiled and said, "I have a friend who knows you."
Liang Jian suddenly became curious and immediately asked: "What's the name of your friend?"
Liang Po winked mischievously and said, "I won't tell you!"
Liang Po refused to talk, and Liang Jian couldn't force him. Moreover, the atmosphere was a bit awkward at this time, so Liang Jian changed the subject and said, "I have something to do today and can't accompany you anymore. Let's go back."
This was Liang Jian's excuse. If Liang Po still insisted on pestering him like last night, he would probably be embarrassed to refuse harshly. But Liang Po actually agreed. Liang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Liang Po saw his relieved expression and immediately raised his eyebrows. He frowned and asked, "Liang Jian, am I so annoying to you?"
Seeing that she was angry, Liang Jian felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "That's not what happened."
As soon as Liang Jian finished speaking, Liang Po suddenly laughed. Liang Jian was stunned for a moment before he realized that he seemed to have been tricked by this woman Liang Po. However, Liang Jian had no emotions in his heart. He smiled bitterly.
After a while, he said to Liang Po: "Auntie, I beg you, please stop entertaining me!"
Liang Po put on a cool and unrestrained posture, waved his hand and said: "Okay, my aunt agreed, I won't entertain you today, you can go about your business."
Liang Jian smiled helplessly, then said hello to her and hurried away. This Liang Po's mentality was like that of an eccentric young girl. Liang Jian actually didn't hate eccentrics, but after all, he now had
As a married woman, getting too close to Liang Po will always have a bad influence.
But many times, things don't go their way. Liang Po didn't know why, but she always liked to be with him. Thinking of this, Liang Jian remembered what Liang Po had said, that she had a friend who knew him, and suddenly she felt curious.
Get up. It seems that I have to find a chance to ask carefully next time.
Liang Jian left the hotel and didn't go far. He walked around nearby, had a light meal and came back. After he came back and took a short rest, it was time for the afternoon meeting.
The meeting had no substantive content, and Liang Jian did not need to speak. He sat and stayed up for a little more than two hours and then ended. After the meeting, Li Duan found him and said that Qiao Renliang invited him to have dinner with him that evening.
The relationship between Qiao Renliang and Liang Jian was not that good at first. He invited Liang Jian to dinner, so why did Liang Jian feel so uneasy? It couldn't be a Hongmen banquet, right? However, he is now a director of the Beijing Municipal Government
, he has nothing to do with Qiao Renliang, what kind of Hongmen banquet can Qiao Renliang give him?
Liang Jian thought of this and asked Li Duan: "Who is there for dinner?"
Li Duan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I'm just helping you with a message."
Liang Jian saw that Li Duan didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After Li Duan brought the message to him, he left quickly. He seemed to have a lot of things to do. Qu Wei was also left with him. Today, Wu Yue did not show up. I wonder if he will show up at dinner later.
Appear.
Dinner time was half past six, and the place was at another place. That place seemed to be newly opened. Liang Jian had never heard of it when he was in Ningzhou before. Li Duan came to pick him up and dropped him off.
He left immediately.
As soon as Liang Jian walked in, he heard someone calling him from behind. The voice sounded familiar. He turned around and saw that it was Wu Yue.
Liang Jian stopped, waited for him to approach, and asked him: "Who is having dinner today?"
Wu Yue glanced at him and said with a smile, "You know basically everyone."
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment. It had been three or four years since he left Jiangzhong, and the people in Jiangzhong had basically changed. But Wu Yue said that he basically knew each other. He thought about it in his mind, but he didn't expect it.
Who could be there? Is it possible that it was just him and Wu Yue, as well as Qiao Renliang and Qu Wei?
But looking at Wu Yue's expression, it doesn't look like that.
Wu Yue didn't seem to want to explain, so Liang Jian didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, the truth came out as soon as he entered. When he got to the door, Liang Jian wanted to open the door, but Wu Yue beat him to it.
Before Liang Jian had time to look inside, Wu Yue said: "Please."
Liang Jian was not polite. After taking a step inside, the situation inside was clear. He knew all the people sitting inside except one. In addition to the people he just thought of, there was another person.
Also there. That's Hu Xiaoying.
As soon as Liang Jian saw Hu Xiaoying, he roughly knew that this meal was probably related to Qu Wei's mission in Jiangzhong. However, neither Cai Gen nor Qu Wei wanted him to get involved, and Hu Xiaoying didn't want him to get involved either.
So it must be Jiangzhong's idea that he came to have this meal today.
"Liang Jian, I haven't seen you for several years, but you still haven't changed much!" Qiao Renliang, who was sitting there talking to Qu Wei, suddenly stood up and walked towards him to greet Liang Jian. He was so enthusiastic and relaxed,
This is really something Liang Jian didn’t expect.
After Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly walked over, shook hands with Qiao Renliang, and complimented him. Although he had a normal relationship with Qiao Renliang when he was in Ningzhou, but now that Qiao Renliang was giving him face, Liang Jian's superficial skills were still
to be done.
After being polite, Qiao Renliang pulled Liang Jian to sit next to him. Liang Jian subconsciously looked at Qu Wei, who stared at him with a cold gaze. Liang Jian couldn't help but frown slightly, then turned to Qiao Renliang and said
: "Secretary Qiao, isn't it appropriate for me to sit here?"
Qiao Renliang smiled and said: "It's okay. This is not a formal occasion and there are no rules. You and I haven't seen each other for a few years, so it's easier to talk if we sit close to each other."
During this meeting, Qiao Renliang's closeness made Liang Jian feel uncomfortable. However, Qiao Renliang was the Secretary of the Jiangzhong Provincial Party Committee after all, and Liang Jian could not refute his face, so he had to sit down.
After sitting down, Qiao Renliang introduced him to another strange middle-aged man sitting at the same table. However, he only introduced the man's name, and other than that, he didn't say a word more.
This middle-aged man, who looks to be in his forties, is named Qu Weidong.
Liang Jian searched the name in his mind, but he really didn't have any impression. When Liang Jian stood up and shook hands with him, he was about to ask a question, but before the words came out of his mouth, Qiao Renliang seemed to not want to give him a chance to ask more questions and intervened.
: "Liang Jian, I think this Ms. Hu Xiaoying doesn't need my introduction, right?"
When Qiao Renliang said this, Liang Jian had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his lips, and then looked at Hu Xiaoying. The two of them did not shake hands, but smiled at each other, which was regarded as a greeting.
Then, Qiao Renliang said to Hu Xiaoying: "Xiaoying, after you left Jiangzhong, our propaganda work in Jiangzhong plummeted!"
An unnatural smile appeared on Hu Xiaoying's face, and she took over the conversation: "Secretary Qiao is joking, there are many talents in Jiangzhong Province, and there are many more capable people than me. I think the current minister in charge has done a good job.
OK."
When Qiao Renliang heard this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face and he said: "Since you know that Minister Guan is doing a good job, it seems that you have also been paying attention to the situation in Jiangzhong!"
"But this is my hometown after all, and we still need to pay attention to what we should pay attention to." Hu Xiaoying said.
Qiao Renliang smiled meaningfully again, then turned to look at Wu Yue. The topic with Hu Xiaoying was over. He asked Wu Yue: "How long will it take for Chaoyang to come? If it takes longer, we won't wait for him."
Wu Yue replied: "When I just called him, he was already on the way. The meeting should be coming soon."
After hearing this, Qiao Renliang said, "Let the waiter serve the food first."
Wu Yue nodded and went out to make arrangements. For the dinner arranged by Qiao Renliang, he seemed to have brought neither the secretary nor the secretary-general with him. It seems that the matter to be discussed during this meal should be something that needs to be kept secret. However, since it is
Why did you let him come over if it was a confidential matter?
When Liang Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his attention to Hu Xiaoying. Is it because of her?
Hu Xiaoying immediately felt his gaze and raised her head to look at him. The two people's eyes collided. Something quickly passed through Hu Xiaoying's eyes, but Liang Jian didn't catch it.
At this time, Qiao Renliang asked Liang Jian to talk, and Liang Jian looked away. Qiao Renliang asked Liang Jian: "How is Mr. Xiang's health recently?"
Liang Jian didn't expect that he would suddenly mention Minister Xiang. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "Very good."
"When I went to Beijing to see Mr. Xiang at the beginning of the year, he also mentioned you." As soon as Qiao Renliang said these words, Liang Jian was shocked. Qiao Renliang had visited Mr. Xiang? Why didn't Liang Jian know?
