Early the next morning, when Liang Jian was about to go out, Xiang Jin suddenly told him that she wanted to invite Huang Yiting and her family to come over anytime.
While Liang Jian said yes, he remembered that he sent a text message to Yao Yong yesterday, but he seemed to have never replied.
Thinking of this, Liang Jian hurriedly took out his mobile phone to confirm that Yao Yong had indeed not replied to him. This was a bit uncharacteristic of him. Could it be that there was something wrong with him that he hadn't seen? Liang Jian thought about it and decided to give him a call.
phone, so he took out his phone number and dialed it. Soon, a robotic female voice came from the other end of the phone, telling him that the phone he was dialing had been turned off.
For some reason, Liang Jian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this voice, and a bad feeling suddenly came over him. He also immediately remembered the warning given to him by Old Tang and Tang Yi yesterday.
Liang Jian didn't hesitate and immediately found Huang Yiting's phone number and called. Not long after, Huang Yiting picked up the phone.
"Is Yao Yong here?" Liang Jian asked immediately, ignoring the pleasantries.
Huang Yiting replied: "Yes. Brother, wait a minute. I'll ask him to answer the phone."
When Liang Jian heard this, he felt relieved instantly. The moment he couldn't get through Yao Yong's call, the feelings of self-blame and guilt that surged out of his heart swept over him so overwhelmingly that he couldn't even breathe.
Angry. Now that I heard that Yao Yong was okay, Liang Jian could finally breathe again.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" Yao Yong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Liang Jian took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and asked him: "Why is your phone turned off?"
Yao Yong replied sheepishly: "I accidentally fell into the water yesterday and couldn't turn on the phone."
When Liang Jian heard this, he felt completely relaxed. He said to Yao Yong: "There is no need to investigate the previous matter."
Yao Yong was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"
"There's no reason. What I want to know is already known, so it doesn't matter whether I check it or not," Liang Jian said.
Yao Yong said: "Okay. What about those materials? Do you want me to send them to you?"
Liang Jian thought for a moment and said, "No, let's leave it where you are first." Since he was ready to let go, there was no use in giving him these information.
Yao Yong did not object.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian went out to work.
When he arrived at the work unit, he went to Qu Ping (formerly Cai Gen) to "say hello" as usual. After entering the door, Qu Ping was playing with his pot of succulents on the window sill. After Liang Jian walked two steps, he suddenly discovered that there were two more pots of plants on his window sill. Liang Jian
Jian didn't think much about it.
After making the report as usual, Liang Jian saw that Qu Ping seemed to have no other instructions and was about to leave. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Qu Ping suddenly asked him: "What did your father and others say about the meal?"
Liang Jian then remembered that although he had told Old Tang, Mr. Xiang had not asked yet. Of course, he could not say that he had forgotten it when telling Qu Ping. So Liang Jian replied: "There is no problem with eating.
Yes, but the time has not been determined yet, they are busy these days."
After hearing this, Qu Ping was obviously a little dissatisfied. After looking at Liang Jian, he said, "Liang Jian, you need to be refreshed on this matter."
Liang Jian nodded hurriedly: "Secretary, don't worry, I will always keep this in mind."
Qu Ping pointed to the teacup on the coffee table. Liang Jian understood and immediately walked over to get it, then handed it to him. After Qu Ping took it, he looked at Liang Jian and said, "You have to understand that we are on the same boat now.
We are not facing ordinary people. If we can seize the time, we can seize the time, otherwise if he takes action first, the initiative may not be in our hands."
Qu Ping felt that Liang Jian was deliberately delaying, so he deliberately "reminded" him that when it came to meeting for dinner, Qu Ping was not doing it for himself but for everyone's benefit.
Liang Jian knew what he meant, and also understood that the so-called interests of everyone were nothing more than putting a nice-looking shell around his own interests.
However, after all, he is the secretary, he is the secretary-general. Be obedient when you should be obedient, and pretend to be stupid when you should be.
So, Liang Jian replied: "Secretary, don't worry, I understand. I will go back and confirm the time with my father later."
Qu Ping seemed a little satisfied when he heard this.
After Liang Jian returned to the office, he thought about it and called Mr. Xiang. After hearing that Qu Ping invited him and Old Tang to have dinner together, Mr. Xiang was silent for two seconds. Then he asked Liang Jian: "Where is your father?"
How to say it?"
Liang Jian replied: "He means that we can meet and have a chat."
After hearing this, Mr. Xiang said: "Then I won't go. I happen to have something to do in the past two days. If Qu Ping has anything to say, just tell your father. It's the same if I talk to your father later."
Liang Jian couldn't force himself after Xiang Lao said this. However, after hanging up the phone, Liang Jian thought about what Xiang Lao said just now, and it seemed that he had these emotions. Liang Jian first thought that these emotions were directed at him.
, but thinking about it again, I felt that these emotions should be directed at Qu Ping.
Qu Ping is a student of Mr. Xiang, and they used to have a relatively close relationship. However, since Liang Jian came to the city, Qu Ping seems to have deliberately distanced himself from Mr. Xiang. And this time, the matter of eating,
Originally, according to the relationship between Mr. Xiang and him, Qu Ping could have contacted Mr. Xiang directly instead of going through Liang Jian. It should be precisely because of this that Mr. Xiang was unhappy.
However, Liang Jian felt that Mr. Xiang was careless about this matter. Both he and Old Tang had said that Qu Ping would part ways with them sooner or later. In this case, it is not difficult to understand what Qu Ping is doing now, so why should he be unhappy.
It was only a matter of time. These thoughts just ran through Liang Jian's mind and were put aside by Liang Jian. After all, this was Mr. Xiang's private matter, and Liang Jian, as a junior, should not comment on it.
However, since Mr. Xiang didn't go, Liang Jian had another problem. Liang Jian had just told Qu Ping that it was okay to eat, and then he went to tell him that Mr. Xiang didn't go. I'm afraid he would be dissatisfied again. Liang Jian thought about it
I thought and decided not to mention this matter for the time being. Since Mr. Xiang is not going, there is no need to think about Mr. Xiang's time. Liang Jian just needs to set a time with Old Tang.
Yesterday, Tang Yi said that the results of his investigation would be confirmed by tonight at the latest. If everything went well, dinner could be scheduled for tomorrow night. Therefore, Liang Jian did not need to ask. They would contact him if there was any news.
After a while, Xiao Gong came in to find Liang Jian and said that He Jianhua was looking for him. As soon as he finished speaking, He Jianhua opened the door and came in. Xiao Gong was shocked, and Liang Jian was also stunned for a moment.
After regaining consciousness, Liang Jian suddenly darkened his face and shouted: "He Jianhua, who asked you to come in?"
If it had been anyone else, Liang Jian wouldn't have gotten angry immediately if he was so reckless. He would have definitely asked if there was anything urgent. But with He Jianhua, Liang Jian was not satisfied with him for a day or two, so he immediately lowered his face and got angry.
After He Jianhua was stunned for a moment, he said indifferently: "Didn't Secretary Gong come in to report?"
Liang Jian stared at him, not to mention how annoyed he was. But he was from Zhu Mingtang after all. If Liang Jian embarrassed He Jianhua for such a small thing at this time, and the news spread, some people would inevitably say that he was killing the donkey to meet Zhu Mingtang.
Mingtang is retiring, and he no longer has the power to take him seriously.
Although Liang Jian didn't care much about what others thought of him, the people he met did. Because they cared, Liang Jian had to care.
He stared at him and lectured: "You can only come in after I ask you to come in. Also, you have to knock on the door when you enter."
"I understand, can I get down to business now?" He Jianhua asked. He still had that unconcerned expression, which made Liang Jian hate him. He originally wanted to save Zhu Mingtang's face and not care about it.
Yes, but his attitude is really unbearable.
Liang Jian then said: "Go out and come in again after I tell you!"
When He Jianhua heard this, his previously indifferent attitude finally changed. His face flashed with surprise, impatience, and anger.
"Don't you understand?" Seeing that he didn't move, Liang Jian shouted again. As soon as he finished speaking, He Jianhua turned around and walked away.
When he went out, he didn't forget to slam the door hard. The loud bang startled Liang Jian.
Xiao Gong said angrily: "Why is this Deputy Director He such a person?"
Liang Jian snorted and said, "It's only because of my strength that I forgot how much I weighed." After saying this angrily, Liang Jian looked at Xiao Gong and said, "Okay, you go out and call him in."
Bar."
When Xiao Gong heard this, he was surprised and said: "Are you asking him to come in? I would say you should let him dry out and get rid of his temper."
Xiao Gong was not usually a talkative person, and he must have been angry with He Jianhua today, so he blurted out a few more words. After Liang Jian glanced at him, he immediately realized that he had talked too much, and he shut up angrily.
Liang Jian didn't blame him. Seeing his uneasiness, he explained: "This He Jianhua was recommended by Minister Zhu. He doesn't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. Moreover, this guy doesn't understand Si Liu, so we can't really
Argue with him. Go out and ask him to come in."
Xiao Gong looked much more relaxed and hurriedly went out to call He Jianhua.
But as soon as he went out, he came back immediately.
"What's wrong?" Liang Jian asked him.
Xiao Gong replied: "Well...Deputy Director He seems to be gone."
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, He Jianhua was really an uncle who could not say a word. With such an uncle in the office, Liang Jian seemed to have no worries about having nothing to do in the future.
"Let's go, let's go and do your work." Liang Jian came back to his senses and said to Xiao Gong.
Xiao Gong had just left the house, and on the other side, He Jianhua had already arrived at Lou Quping's office. Unlike his rudeness at Liang Jian's place, when he got here, he behaved very politely. He knocked on Tian Wang's office door first,
He stated his intention and then quietly waited for Tian Wang to report. After Tian Wang came out, he followed Tian Wang into Qu Ping's office.
Qu Ping was reviewing the papers, and He Jianhua came in. He put down his pen, raised his head, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Xiaotian said you would show me your stuff, what is it?"
He Jianhua took a step forward and handed over the piece of paper he was holding with both hands.
