Li Rui said: "It contains a coffee machine and a kind of coffee beans. Vertex 23S. The fastest update."
Coffee machine and coffee beans? What the hell is Li Rui doing? Liang Jian smiled and said: "Secretary-General Li, you know, I only drink tea and have never touched coffee. So, I don't seem to need it.
Why don't you take it back and give it to those who need it? Otherwise, it would be a waste of money if you keep it here."
Li Rui said: "Governor Liang, please don't say that first. Coffee is just like tea. Everyone doesn't like tea as soon as they are born. But once you like it, you may become addicted. I used to have a prejudice against coffee.
, I didn’t like it, but then I tried it, and hey, I really liked it. I wouldn’t dare recommend it to you, Governor Liang, unless I have tried it myself. I know you have good taste.”
At this time, Er Qiao had already brewed two cups of tea and brought it in front of Li Rui and Liang Jian, then carefully put it down. The tight-fitting uniform she was wearing wrapped her waist and hips tightly, and when she bent over
, forming a beautiful arc.
Liang Jian couldn't help but take another look. When he turned back to look at Li Rui, he found that Li Rui couldn't help but stare at Er Qiao's figure in a daze. However, he soon noticed Liang Jian's
He looked at me and changed the subject: "Governor Liang, this coffee machine and coffee beans are brought back from the island country by a good friend of mine. They are really good."
Liang Jian asked unintentionally: "This friend of yours is a woman, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you such a thing!"
Li Rui looked very surprised: "Can you guess this? My friend is a very classy woman, a Chinese, but she does business in Tokyo all year round. I will introduce you to her next time I have the opportunity.
, her name is Hu Xiaolan."
"What? Hu Xiaolan?" Liang Jian couldn't help but be startled, thinking he heard it wrong. Hu Xiaoying? Hu Xiaolan? How come the names are so similar?
Li Rui saw that Liang Jian had questions and asked, "It's Hu Xiaolan, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Liang Jian seemed to want to get rid of a thought in his head, and shook his head vigorously: "No problem." He originally wanted to ask Li Rui, could this Hu Xiaolan have anything to do with Hu Xiaoying? But, on second thought, he asked
He gave up this idea. After all, Hu Xiaoying was now a sensitive topic in his mind. Bringing it up would only increase his troubles, and it would also easily make Li Rui imagine a lot of things, so Liang Jian didn't ask anything.
Li Rui blinked and said, "Next time, when she returns to Ningzhou from Tokyo, I'll let you meet her."
Liang Jian originally wanted to say, "No, this is your friend, I won't get involved." However, because the woman's name was so similar to Hu Xiaoying's, Liang Jian couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.
Curious. Liang Jian knows that as a senior leader, he should be calm and solemn, and should not be full of curiosity about everything.
However, he feels that he is not an ordinary leading cadre. He once read a sentence from a philosopher, which generally means that if you want to be young, you must maintain a curious attitude. Therefore, sometimes he will deliberately let himself go
Be curious and explore without forcing yourself to close in your curious mind.
Today, he just let himself go. He said, "Okay, let's meet next time your friend comes."
Li Rui seemed to have finally found a way to thank Liang Jian, and said in agreement: "I will contact her when I get back and ask her if she has any plans to come to Ningzhou recently."
Then, Li Rui stood up and left.
As soon as Li Rui left, Liang Jian asked Er Qiao to take the gift box: "I really haven't had much contact with coffee. You can take it and study it. If you can make coffee, try it.
Try it. If you think it's too much trouble, forget it. You can give it to anyone you want."
Er Qiao picked up the gift box and said, "Governor Liang, let me take it and read the instructions first. I used to work in a coffee shop and I know the basic making methods."
The next day, Liang Jian returned to the dormitory after get off work and did not want to go to the small canteen of the guest house for dinner immediately. At noon, because he received businessmen from other provinces and did not drink, he ate too much, and he has not yet fully digested it. Therefore, he wanted to go out for dinner later.
As soon as he arrived at his own floor in the guest house, Liang Jian's nose was sensitive to a scent. Although Liang Jian didn't drink too much coffee, he could basically identify that the scent was that of coffee. In the corridor, someone was working
The waiters were also muttering to each other: "This coffee is so fragrant! I wonder which leader is so interested in making coffee!"
Liang Jian suddenly remembered that Li Rui gave him a coffee machine and coffee beans yesterday. Could it be that Er Qiao was making coffee?
As soon as Liang Jian opened the door, a stronger smell of coffee hit his face. A slender girl with bunted hair was standing next to the wine cabinet, playing with the coffee machine. It gave people a very domestic atmosphere.
Hallucination. This is Liang Jian’s waiter Er Qiao.
Er Qiao must have felt someone coming in, so she turned around. When she saw Liang Jian, she said with a smile on her face: "Governor Liang, are you back?"
Liang Jian nodded and asked, "Are you making coffee? It's quite fragrant."
Er Qiao replied: "Yes, I did some research and tried a few cups just now. If Governor Liang is not in a hurry to eat, I want Governor Liang to try a cup of coffee I brewed."
Liang Jian's eyes fell on the exquisite and complicated coffee machine, and he could smell the smell of coffee. He smiled and said: "I ate too much at lunch, and I'm not in a hurry to have dinner. If you don't bother, just give it to me."
One drink, please. Thank you.”
"Of course it's not troublesome." Er Qiao said with a smile, "It'll be ready soon. Governor Liang, you can go sit on the balcony first and I'll bring it to you later."
Liang Jian thinks Er Qiao's suggestion is good. In the past, if he didn't socialize, he would go directly to the cafeteria to eat after get off work and didn't have time to sit on the balcony. In fact, their guest house was originally a garden-style building, and the balcony of each leader's house was , it is always a big lawn or flower garden for going out. Sitting on the balcony, reading a book, or being in a daze is a good way to relax, but it is a pity that not many leaders have such a leisurely mood.
Today, Liang Jian had a moment of leisure because he was too full at noon. He took a copy of "Jiangcheng" from the bookshelf, went to the balcony, and started flipping through it. He had long wanted to read this book.
It was written by a foreigner, and it talked about Fuling after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in the eyes of a foreigner. For a while, this was a best-selling book, and he never had time to read it.
After he finished flipping through the first few pages, he heard Er Qiao's soft and pleasant voice ringing in his ears: "Governor Liang, the coffee is ready, please use it." A cup of coffee was already placed on the coffee table to Liang Jian's left hand.
, the fragrance of coffee spreads out and blends into the dusk sunlight.
Liang Jian saw that there was only one cup, so he asked Er Qiao: "Why don't you drink it yourself? Is there any more?"
Er Qiao hurriedly said: "There's more, there's more."
Liang Jian smiled and said: "Then go and get a cup and drink a cup of coffee with me."
Er Qiao's ears turned red when she heard what Liang Jian said, but she did not refuse and said obediently: "Then I'll go pour a cup. Thank you very much, Governor Liang, for inviting me to drink coffee."
Liang Jian smiled: "Why am I inviting you to drink coffee? You were the one who made this coffee."
Er Qiao suddenly said boldly and mischievously: "But this coffee machine and coffee beans belong to Governor Liang, so you invited me to drink them."
Liang Jian no longer insisted on the ownership of the coffee and said, "Go and get a cup."
After a while, the two of them were sitting on the balcony drinking coffee. Liang Jian slowly took a sip of the coffee and didn't think much of it at first. But after a few seconds, the sweetness of the coffee spread from the back of his tongue, and it was extremely fragrant.
Liang Jian took the coffee, took a look at it and said, "Although I don't understand, I feel that this coffee shouldn't be bad."
Er Qiao looked at Liang Jian with his beautiful eyes and said: "Governor Liang, you are absolutely right. These coffee beans are really good. I have worked in Starbucks before and I have never tasted such good coffee.
"
Liang Jian became a little alert: "How much do you estimate this coffee will cost?"
Er Qiao said: "As for coffee beans, the most expensive one is about 200 US dollars per pound. Secretary-General Li gave you about three pounds, which is about 4,000 yuan."
Liang Jian felt relieved now. 4,000 yuan was nothing. It seemed that Li Rui didn't lie to him, and indeed he didn't give him anything valuable.
However, what Er Qiao said next surprised Liang Jian: "Governor Liang, but that coffee machine is very expensive. I estimate it will not be less than 50,000 yuan!"
What? Fifty thousand yuan for a coffee machine! This is not a bribe!
Liang Jian immediately called Li Rui: "Your coffee beans are very good, I'll take them. Ask someone to take the coffee machine back! Secretary-General Li, you're following me, and we agreed not to give away valuables."
"
Li Rui said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Hu Xiaolan asked me to give this coffee machine to you. Let's leave it here for now. When she comes next time, if you want to return it, just return it to her in person."
Where did this fuss come from? Liang Jian was a little confused. Why did he say that this coffee machine was given to him by Hu Xiaolan? Is this Li Rui setting a trap for himself?
Okay, Li Rui won't come to get the coffee machine, right? Then, I will really return it to Hu Xiaolan in person, which will make you lose face. Liang Jian has already made up his mind. He really wants to meet that Hu Xiaolan
Who is he?
There is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. In official circles, this saying is repeated again and again.
Originally, for Wu Yue to be the executive deputy governor of the Jiangzhong Provincial Government, an appointment letter was missing. However, four days have passed and the appointment letter has not come.
Everyone started talking about it. I wonder what happened? Did the higher-ups change their minds?
However, on the sixth day, the document came down. However, this was not a simple appointment letter, but a transfer letter. Comrade Wu Yue was transferred to the position of executive deputy governor of the Dinggui Provincial Government.
The executive is still the same executive, but it is no longer the executive in Jiangzhong.
