After Lin Cheng came back in the evening, Li Siyu told him about Peng Lingman's visit during the day.
Including Peng Lingman's proposal to enter the winery case, this matter must be known to Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng just nodded after hearing this and said: "Peng Lingman told me this afternoon, she talked to you, and she said you asked her to come to me. But I refused and did not agree to her."
Li Siyu nodded as expected, it was surprising that Lin Cheng agreed.
"But I don't understand what Peng Lingman's action means," she said with a sigh.
Lin Cheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "No matter what the purpose is, as long as I don't let go, no one can control it."
"That's true." Li Siyu nodded in agreement.
Because this case is considered over, we can just follow up later, and there is no need for anyone to intervene.
I'm afraid Peng Lingman came in just to mess up this matter, so how could they get involved?
The two of them thought that this would be the end of the matter.
Peng Lingman on the other side found Xing Chen, and the two met in a small house.
"How's it going?" Xing Chen asked when he saw her coming.
Then I felt like I was just doing something every time. Thinking of the relationship between the two of them, I wanted to say something else.
Peng Lingman noticed his awkwardness and smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"I didn't agree." She said calmly.
Xing Chen nodded after hearing this, "As expected."
This matter was just a test for the two of them. Anyway, Lin Cheng and the others also knew what the two of them meant, and they would eventually have to fight each other.
Of course, if they don't mind, that would be better.
"How are you doing there?" Peng Lingman asked as he remembered something.
Xing Chen shook his head, "It's not good. This case is almost over. What's more, the leaders above have approved it and can't move it."
The two of them were silent for a long time without speaking. Peng Lingman was also biting his lip and thinking about something.
If this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid Secretary Qi will have a hard time explaining it. Secretary Qi's character is not very good. If he gets into trouble, it will be difficult for both of them in the future.
Xing Chen is pretty good. After all, he has been the mayor's secret secretary for several years. No matter how big the matter is, the mayor will help him out of kindness.
But Peng Lingman was different. She had no background, and she only relied on luck and strength to get in. It was absolutely impossible to have someone take care of her like Xing Chen.
Peng Lingman glanced at the person opposite. I'm afraid that even if something happened to her, Xing Chen wouldn't care about her, right?
This realization made Peng Lingman feel cold. She had always known that Xing Chen was a selfish person.
Only when he has protected himself and is absolutely sure, will he consider others.
Peng Lingman took a deep breath and looked at Xing Chen. She really couldn't bear to let go of this person.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." She really didn't want to see Xing Chen anymore, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears.
It’s so chilling…
Xing Chen noticed something was wrong with her mood. He stood up and took her hand and said, "Ling Man, I know I have been busy recently. Can you please be considerate of me?"
Regarding the relationship between the two of them, Xing Chen is quite satisfied with Peng Lingman's ability and appearance. The most important thing is to put him first.
"I know." Peng Lingman responded casually. It's not that she has never seen love before, this excuse is too pale for her.
Seeing her like this, Xing Chen said, "I have already told my family that we will get married in the spring."
These words came so suddenly that Peng Lingman was stunned.
"Marry?" she repeated in a murmur.
This really made her not think about it, and she didn't react for a while.
"Well, let's get married." Xing Chen's tone was rare and gentle, and even his eyes softened, not as sharp as usual.
Peng Lingman's mood at this time was really beyond words, because she felt that this happened too suddenly, but then she thought about it, wasn't this exactly what she expected?
"I..." She was suddenly speechless, and then said with a slightly red face: "I'm going back first."
After saying that, the man opened the door and rode away.
Xing Chen felt relieved when he saw that she had been comforted, but the matter at the winery was not over yet, and he still had to think of a solution.
Li Siyu still wanted to take a leisurely two days, but Liu Chengxue came to find her that day.
"Director Li, don't worry, I will never agree." She said for a long time, and then made another promise, which made Li Siyu a little confused.
It turned out that Peng Lingman, seeing that she couldn't open an opening with Li Siyu, actually went to Liu Chengxue, hoping to get her to come over and talk about the case.
Liu Chengxue felt that something was wrong between them before. After Peng Lingman finished speaking, she knew everything after thinking about it.
She is not a fool, but she will not agree to this matter. Not to mention how much Li Siyu has helped her, Liu Chengxue will not agree if there is no benefit to be gained from this case.
"I know, but don't get involved in this matter. There are too many troubles, so don't make yourself angry." Li Siyu told the truth, there are too many people involved in this matter.
Liu Chengxue nodded, "Don't worry, I'm just a little shrimp with no background, and I don't want to be cannon fodder for others."
There was a sense of grievance in her tone. She really didn't expect that Peng Lingman would take advantage of her and use her as a cannon.
Li Siyu patted her shoulder and said earnestly: "You still have a long way to go in the future. This kind of thing is too common. There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
In later generations, whether in the workplace or in other fields, these relationships of exploitation will exist. The most important thing is to think openly and take the initiative in your own hands, otherwise you will always be passively exploited by others.
Liu Chengxue nodded and said nothing. She had understood this before, but the comfortable days made her forget that people's hearts were separated.
It doesn't matter if you can be vigilant now, but you should also be more thoughtful in the future, so that when people sell themselves, they don't have to ask others to count their money.
"Okay, I'll leave first. The work unit is very busy right now, and I don't have time to come over and see you." Liu Chengxue hurriedly walked out again.
Li Siyu said a few polite words to her and sent her away.
After closing the door and returning to the house, Li Siyu felt a little cold-hearted. This Peng Lingman hadn't appeared before. Why has he become more and more bottomless since he started dating Xing Chen?
But this was Peng Lingman's own choice, and she couldn't preach. Anyway, since Peng Lingman chose to stand opposite her, they would be hostile in the future.
But this is fine. It is better to see someone clearly early than to stab him in the back later.
Compared with seeing people's hearts over time, Li Siyu still likes to see clearly whether they are humans or dogs at a glance.
