Do you need a reason to like someone
Stephen Chow gave a perfect answer in "A Chinese Odyssey". Wen Liang said nothing, but walked to Ning Xiaoning's side and leaned against the wall like her. The hustle and bustle of the streets and the bustle of the world all receded like a tide in an instant, disappearing into an unknown place.
At this moment, there is only the moon above my head and the people under the moon.
The moonlight was like water, shining through the tiny gaps between the dense branches and leaves, illuminating the mottled shadows of the trees. The two young men stood side by side, bathed in the soft light, their hair, shoulders, waists, and even the ground beneath their feet all turned crystal clear and pure white. Ning Xiaoning raised her head slightly, her usually cold and proud face now within reach, her bright eyes reflecting the night moon in the sky, with a bit of the innocence, confusion, and attachment of a young man.
Wen Liang turned his head and looked at her profile without saying anything for a long time.
Li Shengli's footsteps came from the door, breaking the rare silence. Ning Xiaoning stood up, turned her back to Wen Liang, put her hands in her pockets, and her slender legs were as charming as dancing cranes. She said softly, "Do you remember the development plan for the soy milk shop you mentioned a few days ago? Can you make a detailed plan for me?"
Wen Liang asked in confusion: "What do you want? Are you really interested in business?"
"Well, I want to see and learn it. Can I make it in the next few days?"
Wen Liang didn't think much about it and said, "Not in the next few days. I'm a bit busy recently and I have to prepare for the exam..."
Ning Xiaoning turned around, stared into Wen Liang's eyes, and said, "Wen Liang, does someone like you still need achievements to prove yourself?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "A person lives not just for himself! If getting good grades can make many people happy, why not do it?"
Ning Xiaoning was still a little girl after all. She frowned and said, "Isn't it tiring for a person like this to live?"
Wen Liang sighed and said, "Who doesn't feel tired in life? From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, it's the same for everyone! If you can make the people who care about you and you care about happy, it doesn't matter if you're a little tired."
Ning Xiaoning shook her head and said, "I don't understand!"
Wen Liang laughed and said, "I'm just making this up. Of course you don't understand! Well, after this month, I'll sort it out and show it to you."
The three of them took three different buses and left. Wen Liang just arrived at the door of his house and ran into Ding Mei who was about to go out. When he saw his son coming back, he immediately shouted: "Why did you come back so early today? I was in a hurry to go out. I made an appointment with your aunt Liu Fen to play cards together. I can't be back until twelve o'clock. There are leftovers in the kitchen. You can heat them up yourself." He changed his shoes while speaking, and before he finished speaking, he took his wallet and was about to go out.
Wen Liang grabbed her arm and said with a smile, "Mom, look at how thin your son has become. Is it considered abuse for him to eat leftovers every day? Are you my stepmother? I am warning you. With the current nutritional level, it will be good enough for him to pass the exam."
Ding Mei felt that her son's threat made sense, so she took out ten yuan from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "Go out and buy something delicious... But after this meal, your ranking has to improve. Do you understand?"
Wen Liang held the old version of the ten-yuan note, which looked like a fake note no matter how he looked at it. He smiled bitterly at Ding Mei's hurried back and said, "This is not as good as my leftovers. Do you think the points are the starting currency? One yuan is equivalent to a hundred yuan?"
Wen Liang ran into the house and called Zuo Yuxi, telling her an address to tell An Baoqing, and then followed Ding Mei out. Seeing Ding Mei turning into Unit 3 from a distance, Wen Liang smiled. Liu Fen's husband is the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary Section 1 and Xu Fuyan's current secretary Zhang Fang. He was also present when he had a conflict with Wei Gang on the day the soy milk shop opened. He wore a pair of glasses and didn't look very scheming. This time Xu Fuyan only brought Wen Huaiming to Guanshan, but not his personal secretary Zhang Fang. This is the third time in the past two months. For Xu Fuyan, it was just that the big things planned on this trip must be kept confidential, and it is always better if one less person knows about it. But for Zhang Fang, it was a severe test.
In the officialdom, rumors can kill people!
In less than two days, Zhang Fang already felt that his colleagues looked at him with evasive and speculative eyes. The young juniors who were usually respectful to him also complained and confronted him at work, and even once rejected a task he assigned to him in person. Zhang Fang did not get angry. Even he did not know what Xu Fuyan was thinking. Perhaps returning from Guanshan was the moment he was exiled. In this most powerful and cruel place in the world, Zhang Fang did not need to and did not dare to offend too many people at this time. His silence further confirmed people's speculation. It is conceivable that a secretary who is not favored by the leader will have a difficult life in the Municipal Party Committee Office.
Three days later, Zhang Fang finally couldn't help it and took a roundabout way to use his wife's public relations. After so many years in the officialdom, although his character had not changed much, he still had many tricks. The fact that he could think of this method showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.
Wen Liang could guess Xu Fuyan's intentions and knew that he was basically satisfied with Zhang Fang, but he had not really recognized him. So he did not take him with him on several consecutive trips to Guanshan, which was partly for the purpose of investigation. If Zhang Fang could stand up to the rumors, stand firm, and not be shaken by the pressure and temptation from the outside world, he would always be appreciated by Xu Fuyan and have the opportunity to soar to the sky.
But if his position is unstable, ha! Wen Liang guessed that Xu Fuyan had sent someone to monitor Zhang Fang's actions, and if he showed any signs of misbehavior, he would be arrested immediately after returning.
So Wen Liang was not afraid that he would find out some information from Ding Mei. Not to mention that Ding Mei knew nothing about these things. Even if she knew, if you thought she was careless and easy to fool, you were completely wrong.
After walking a long way, he came to the only food stall nearby and ordered twenty small skewers of lamb, a serving of rice noodles, three cold-mixed shredded vegetables and boiled peanuts. The ten yuan he just got went into someone else's pocket. Uncle Wen was in tears. The food for the reborn people was so bad and they were so short of money. There was no other way.
After eating a few bites, a man sat down opposite him. Wen Liang turned his head to look at the street outside. There were no cars, so it was no wonder he didn't hear any sound. He smiled and joked, "Well, a big boss still walks when he goes out. How friendly!"
An Baoqing had a gloomy face, but he picked up a mutton skewer without hesitation and ate a piece of it from the iron skewer. As soon as the shredded meat, which was dipped in chili and dripping with sesame oil, entered his mouth, he slammed the table and shouted, "Boss, bring me ten bottles of beer!"
Wen Liang picked up the wooden chopsticks and handed them over, saying seriously, "You can drink, but I have to remind you of one thing!"
An Baoqing said in a deep voice: "You say!"
"My pockets are cleaner than my face right now, so if we want to drink, you have to pay for it."
An Baoqing was stunned for a moment, and the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, which invisibly shortened the distance between them. An Baoqing took out a business card and handed it over, saying: "Sister Zuo told me that this Dandelion Karaoke Hall was opened by my friend. He is trustworthy and is the most high-end one in Qingzhou. The most important thing is that it is very close to the Haomen Hotel. As long as they come out of it, you can make arrangements here, and Bai Huan will definitely go to Haomen." Haomen Hotel is An Baoqing's property in Xicheng.
Wen Liang took it and looked at it. The business card was very delicately made, cool to the touch, and very textured. The background was a black night sky dotted with stars, and purple dandelions were floating in the starry sky. At the bottom of the dandelions, half of a cat's face was revealed, and a colorful cat's eye seemed to be shining with a strange light, which made people shudder.
"Why is there no name?" Wen Liang looked through it twice but couldn't find the boss's name.
An Baoqing said: "The business card is her name, her name is Cat Girl!"
Wen Liang burst out laughing and said, "There's a Baidu girl in your big world, and here comes a cat girl. Are you sure you're not kidding?"
The boss brought a bottle of beer over. An Baoqing waited for him to leave, lowered his voice and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Wen, this is not funny at all. Baidu was originally trained by Dandelion. I spent a lot of effort to get this trump card from Cat Girl. The women who come out of her are first-class in all aspects. Of course, you also understand that I am mainly referring to the entertainment aspect..."
Wen Liang's face remained calm as usual, and he smiled and said, "What kind of entertainment? Entertainment that forces women of good character into prostitution?"
An Baoqing felt the chill under Wen Liang's smile, and after a moment of silence, he explained, "Mr. Wen, you are wrong. The women there all have various stories, but none of them are forced to do this job. Besides, they have top skills in certain areas, like Baidu. If she is unwilling, I can't let her do anything excessive."
This is really a lie. Once I enter your big world, I will naturally give him enough face in small matters. But if I meet a customer like Xu Fuyan, can I let Baidu do what it wants
Wen Liang sighed. He was not a savior, nor did he have the ability to take care of too many things. He picked up the business card, put it in his trouser pocket, poured a glass of beer and drank it all.
An Baoqing intentionally changed the subject and said with a smile: "Last time, thanks to Young Master Wen's words, I went to Suhai Province to obtain the Biluochun trademark. After investigating the local area, I found that this business has great potential. I haven't had time to thank you yet. Come, I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and toast you a glass."
Wen Liang raised his glass and clinked it with his, saying, "Well, you need to ask some professionals to guide you on the specific matters. But it would be best to register a company there first, take over all the tea mountains in Wujiang County, and then ask some experts and writers to write some articles to promote it, and do some advertising on TV and newspapers. The packaging should be exquisite, the products should be diversified, and the positioning should be for the middle and high-end consumer groups. In less than two years, the income will be considerable."
An Baoqing slammed the table again and shouted, "Boss, ten more bottles of beer!"
Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, we have something else to do, so don't drink for now. Do you know Zhao Jianjun?"
An Baoqing frowned and asked, "What?"
"Can you pass on a message and ask him to stop harassing a friend of mine?"
An Baoqing's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he said, "Zhao Jianjun is a desperado. This kind of person should either be avoided or killed immediately to prevent any future troubles!"
