After the Honda went away, Wen Liang walked back to the Porsche, opened the door, and said with a dark face: "Get out!"
Ning Xi knew that if Wen Liang had not remained calm, her life or death would have depended on God's mood. She was not a stubborn woman who could not tell right from wrong, so she lowered her head and got out of the car obediently. She turned around and leaned against the car, her long hair falling on her chest like a waterfall, looking pitiful and at the mercy of others.
This was Ning Xi that they had never seen before. She was gentle, quiet, and delicate, which made people feel pity for her. However, Wen Liang was like a wooden man, just looking at her quietly without saying a word. After a while, Ning Xi realized that pretending to be pitiful was useless, and she could not stand the pressure from the boy's black eyes, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I know I was wrong, and I will never drive fast again in the future! Drive safely, obey the law, and don't be so serious, okay?"
Wen Liang had no way to deal with her, so he raised a finger and said with a wry smile: "This is just the first time, never again!" His relationship with Ning Xi had always been delicate, and even though something almost happened in the car, it was still not to the point where he could scold her at will. He had spent many years in Beijing in his previous life, and he knew the temper and nature of these second and third generation reds very well. Although they were usually easy to talk to with a smile, if they really interfered with their personal interests and lives, they would turn hostile in a matter of seconds.
Ning Xi received elite education abroad, so she shouldn't be so naive and superficial. He was not afraid of losing this supporter because he was understanding and forgiving. It was just that he had already regarded her as a very good friend deep down in his heart. When it comes to some special hobbies of friends, gradual persuasion would be more effective.
Ning Xi made an "OK" gesture and when she bent down to get into the car, she suddenly paused and said softly, "Wen Liang, thank you for standing in front of me just now!"
Although if a collision was too strong and even the airbags were ineffective, Wen Liang's flesh and blood body might only delay Ning Xi's collision for one second, but everything depends on the heart. Just based on his willingness to sacrifice his life to protect Ning Xi at this critical moment, one can imagine how grateful and touched she must be.
Wen Liang smiled slightly and said, "Don't put a hat on me. At that time, I just wanted to cut the steering wheel, not to save the beauty! By the way, you like to drive fast so much, what is your relationship with JSCC?"
"You even know about JSCC?" Ning Xi turned around, her expression very surprised, then suddenly realized something, patted her delicate forehead, and chuckled: "I forgot that you are a genius child who knows everything and can even research the Blue Ocean Theory. What does a small Beijing Supercar Club mean to you..."
"Hey, let me say it again, I learned the Blue Ocean Theory from a book!"
"Then let me ask again, which book, which economist, and which year did this theory come up with?"
Wen Liang was speechless. Ning Xi looked at him deeply, then sat back in the car and shrugged her shoulders. Her movements were charming and charming. Then she waved her hand and pretended to be bold and said, "Whatever you say! But to celebrate our survival, I'll treat you tonight at Yuxiang Garden. Order whatever you want!"
"I don't have time tonight. A classmate is having a birthday party and I have to go and support him!"
"Birthday?" Ning Xi started the car, and this time she was much more obedient, maintaining a steady speed of 40 to 50 miles per hour, and said, "You don't mind having another pair of chopsticks, do you?"
“Eating steak, no chopsticks…”
The Porsche drove away amid the meaningless chatter. The two self-proclaimed smart people seemed to have suffered from amnesia at the same time. No one mentioned the trembling red lips at a certain moment when time paused.
"Boom, boom, boom"
"Come in!"
The sound of high heels tapping on the floor rang out in the office. Wen Huaiming looked up and was stunned for a moment. He stood up and greeted him, "Director Tang? Please sit down, please sit down. Why are you in Qingzhou? Do you have an interview assignment?"
Tang Ye smoothed the edge of her skirt, put her legs together and sideways, sat down gracefully, and said angrily: "You don't welcome me? Can't I come if there is no mission?"
Wen Huaiming laughed: "It's better if there is no mission! Although Qingzhou is not as prosperous as Guanshan, it has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Director Tang should come here more often when he is free. He will definitely like it here."
Tang Ye smiled and said, "I don't really appreciate the beautiful scenery, but I think the people and the beautiful scenery are just average..."
If Wen Huaiming continued with this, it would sound like flirting. With a smile on his face, he walked to the side, poured a glass of water and handed it to Tang Ye, and asked, "What are the plans for the trip? Do you want me to ask someone from the Tourism Bureau to be your tour guide?"
Tang Ye took the cup and placed it on the coffee table, then stood up and took two steps forward, and the faint fragrance of his body immediately hit him. Wen Huaiming's face showed no abnormality, and his eyes were still firm and steady. Tang Ye admired his determination, walked to the other side of the coffee table, turned around and chuckled, "Forget about the tour guide. To be honest, although I don't have an interview mission this time in Qingzhou, I would like to ask Secretary-General Wen to do me a favor and have a simple meal with me."
Wen Huaiming was not in a position to decline, so he looked at his watch and said, "I have a meeting this afternoon. How about this? We can call each other after get off work at five o'clock. Director Tang has helped a lot in Guanshan, so let me do my part as a host this time."
Tang Ye made a phone call gesture and went out, leaving the room filled with fragrance. Wen Huaiming stared at her graceful back, thinking.
The car stopped at the old grain station in the western suburbs. Ning Xi walked around the station, climbed up the small dirt slope and looked at the surrounding environment. She said to Wen Liang, "What do you think of this place? The terrain is flat and dry, there are water supply and drainage facilities and electricity supply, the road can be renovated to connect to the main road, and there are no pollution sources..."
Wen Liang continued, "The most important thing is that the land here is barren and cheap!"
"Money is not a problem, but the lower the cost, the better. Do you agree?"
Wen Liang smiled but said nothing. Ning Xi exclaimed, "Ah!" and said angrily, "You brought me here on purpose, didn't you? You had already made your choice, didn't you? Well, after watching me running around all morning, you must have been laughing your ass off, right?"
Three consecutive "are you"s fully expressed Ning MM's anger at the moment. Uncle Wen was so eloquent that he comforted her, "Don't I fully respect your opinion? If you don't look around the surrounding areas first, how do you know that this is the best choice? As the saying goes, you have no right to speak without investigation, and it is also said that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. We have been investigating for a whole morning and ruled out other possibilities. Only then can we work together to take this piece of land, right?"
Ning Xi knew her own character. Even if Wen Liang talked about this place in a grandiose way at the beginning, she would still look around before making the final decision. This was not because of distrust, but because she was responsible for everyone's career.
"Anyway, you're right. I don't care. I'm going to participate in tonight's event!" Ning Xi found it more and more fun to bicker with Wen Liang, but she didn't realize that this was a dangerous signal.
Fuck, are these two things necessarily related? Wen Liang reluctantly agreed and said, "Let's make it clear in advance that this is a gathering for high school students. If you feel bored, you can leave early..."
"You can enjoy it, why can't I? Don't worry, my mental age is much younger than my actual age..."
"Well, if I had discovered this earlier, Qinghe would never have been given to you... By the way, I have to give you a compliment. You used the idiom very well this time!"
This was not the first time Wen Liang had come to the western suburbs. Two months ago, he had captured Zhao Jianjun here, starting a bloody journey full of darkness and cunning. It was also at that time that he discovered that this place was an ideal location for building a factory. Although the grain station was scrapped, the previous infrastructure was still there and could be put into use after renovation. The surrounding farmland was requisitioned when the grain station was built, and the only orchard was closed, which greatly reduced the cost and resistance of land acquisition.
Ning Xi liked it at first sight. It can only be said that great minds think alike. Wen Liang immediately made up his mind and said, "This place is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Grain Bureau. Qingzhou happens to be the pilot area for this grain reform, and it is urgent to revitalize the assets. I will find time to talk to dad, and I should be able to take it down. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the specific matters have to be handled by you or Uncle Li..."
Next, the two of them roughly estimated the setting, layout, division and area requirements of the venue, how to set up processing and operation sites that are suitable for the variety and quantity of supply, such as rough processing, cutting, semi-finished or finished product production, food cooling, packaging, storage of food to be distributed, cleaning and disinfection of tools, as well as food warehouses, changing rooms, and cleaning tool storage sites; how to divide the food processing area, operation area, cleaning area, etc. After finally completing the survey, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them returned to the city hungry and found something to fill their stomachs. Ning Xi wanted to go home to change clothes and take a shower. She agreed with Wen Liang that she would drive to the No. 7 Courtyard to pick them up at five o'clock.
Wen Huaiming walked out of the gate of the Municipal Party Committee, and let Xiao Wang drive away on his own, using the excuse that he had something else to do. Not far away, Tang Ye's red Honda stopped beside him. Wen Huaiming frowned slightly. Although having a meal with friends was no big deal, he instinctively resisted contact with Tang Ye. He was always alert and uneasy because he couldn't figure out her purpose. So we agreed to contact her by phone, which meant that you call me to let me know the location, and I can go there by myself. I didn't expect her to come to the gate of the Municipal Party Committee to show off, which naturally made Wen Huaiming very unhappy.
However, he became more sophisticated and calmer when the time came. He opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, saying with a smile, "I am a very incompetent landlord. I have to ride in your car in Qingzhou. I am really ashamed, ashamed!"
Tang Ye was very smart, so how could she not hear the warning in Wen Huaiming's words? She just smiled charmingly and said, "I'm just worried that you will forget things. Everyone knows that you guys have a rich nightlife. If you come a little late, let alone dinner, you won't even be able to see your shadow..."
The car drove all the way to West City. There were all kinds of cars parked in front of Dandelion. Tang Ye walked to the second-floor Plum Hall with ease. When he pushed the door open, he leaned close to Wen Huaiming's ear and whispered, "I'll introduce a friend to you later. Please give me some face and finish this meal, okay?"
Wen Huaiming nodded, his mind suddenly tensed up. It was just a thin door, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad!
