After discussing the matter of Xinxing Factory with Ning Xi, Wen Liang went to Si Yajing's office again. It must be said that the black skirt suit with the wide-collared white shirt and the rolled-up sleeves revealing a small part of her crystal white wrists made Si Yajing look more like a smart and capable urban beauty, which was different from her previous image as a teacher. Seeing Wen Liang coming in, she put down the documents in her hand, stood up and was about to speak, but Wen Liang raised his index finger and shushed her gently.
Si Yajing watched him turn around and close the door, then walked in front of him with a smirk on her face, rubbing her hands. Her heart suddenly began to beat violently, and her legs became weak and she had to press her hands on the table to support her whole body. Her face instantly turned red like an apple, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't do anything stupid, this is the company..."
Wen Liang walked over to her, closed the half-open window, and turned his head to pretend to be puzzled and said, "What nonsense? It's so cold, my hands are stiff, and you still opened the window. What if I catch a cold?"
Si Yajing was so embarrassed and angry at his teasing that she said angrily, "You just like to bully me!"
Wen Liang laughed loudly, turned around and walked outside again. Si Yajing then realized that he came in just to close the window. She was touched and said softly, "The people from Hujiang have been sent away. You must be exhausted from staying at the company for the past two days. Go back and have a rest."
Wen Liang made an OK gesture, opened the door and walked away. The reason why he stayed in the company day and night for the past two days was, firstly, to design the CIS system of Qinghe Soy Milk, which required him to give forward-looking guidance; secondly, he wanted to find an opportunity for Ning Xi to say hello to McKinsey. Once these two things were done, he would naturally continue to be a hands-off boss. After all, his main job was still that of a student.
After leaving the office building, I was thinking about whether to go home or talk to Qu Rong, when I suddenly received a call from Zuo Yuxi. Wen Liang said happily, "You are back from Lingyang?"
"Well, I just returned to Diyuan. Are you free? I... I want to see you."
The two hadn't met since returning from Suhai. Zuo Jing didn't know if it was because of the recent flood relief work that was too intense. On his way back to Lingyang after attending the commendation meeting in Guanshan, he suddenly felt unwell and was rushed to the hospital. Zuo Yuxi and Ye Yuting immediately put down their work and went to Lingyang to help take care of him. Unexpectedly, they returned to Qingzhou today.
Half an hour later, Wen Liang pushed open the door of Diyuan. Zuo Yuxi curled up on the sofa, holding the remote control and watching TV. His face looked a little tired, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I heard that you have done many great things in Suhai again?"
Wen Liang had already given up on An Baoqing's words, and knew that Su Hai's deeds could not be hidden from her, so she walked over and sat down beside him, saying, "Those little things are nothing. The most amazing thing in my life is to be able to sit next to the flower of Qingzhou who is admired by everyone, and watch her smile charmingly at me..."
Zuo Yuxi was amused and laughed sweetly. She fell sideways into his arms and closed her eyes comfortably. Wen Liang gently stroked her hair and asked, "How is Secretary Zuo? Is everything okay?"
"It's not a big problem. I was too tired from work a while ago and my blood pressure was a little high. It has stabilized now. The doctor said I should rest well and it won't have a big impact."
"That's good. Don't worry. Floods are not normal after all. With Secretary Zuo's current status and position, he won't be overworked like this again..."
"By the way, my dad asked me to say thank you to you." Zuo Yuxi opened his eyes, which were as bright as the morning stars, and said, "If you hadn't told me the inside story of the Wentai Reservoir in advance, there would probably be a big mess this time!"
Lingyang was also severely affected by the disaster this time, but because Wen Liang had told Zuo Jing about the Wentai Reservoir through Zuo Yuxi in advance, the city had time to make adequate preparations. Although other areas still inevitably experienced dike breaches, at least this large-scale water conservancy project was saved, and the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding area were guaranteed. This was much better than the tragedy that occurred in another time and space.
Wen Liang's hand slipped into her clothes and asked in surprise, "You gave me away?"
"He insisted on asking me who the friend who leaked the information was. I had no choice but to tell him the truth."
This was half true and half false. Zuo Yuxi might have planned to find a suitable opportunity to introduce Wen Liang to Zuo Jing. This would not only be beneficial to Wen Liang's future development, but also satisfy a small wish of hers.
She didn't necessarily want the two of them to do this or that, she just wanted to be able to sit down with the two most important men in her life and have a meal together as a family at some point in the future.
Zuo Jing respects the visitor one foot, I respect one foot, and it is really a great opportunity to receive such a big favor from Wen Liang. For Zuo Yuxi, even if there is only a one in ten million chance, she will not let it go. Of course, under the pressure of her father, she revealed the existence of Wen Liang.
Wen Liang's ability to read people's minds was never inferior to his ability to flatter. He knew what this little girl was thinking just by looking at her lowered eyes when she spoke. He didn't dare to look directly at her. He didn't mind it at all. He would have to meet Zuo Jing sooner or later anyway, so it was a good opportunity to take advantage of it. He smiled and said, "What is the crime of betraying your own husband?"
Zuo Yuxi felt guilty, so she turned over and sat up, avoiding Wen Liang's evil hands. She sat far away, biting her lower lip and said, "Okay, it's all my fault. I apologize to you. But don't worry, my father heard that it was Wen Huaiming's son who helped a lot. He always sighed that heroes come from young people and that a good father will have a good son. He said that if there is a chance, he will invite you to Lingyang to play, and asked me to express his sincere gratitude to you on his behalf."
Wen Liang coughed lightly, sat up straight, and said, "Come on, I'll give you a chance. Let me see how serious Director Zuo's thanks are!"
Zuo Yuxi blushed, crawled over from the sofa, leaned over to the side of Wen Liang's face and kissed him gently, then ran away before Wen Liang's hand touched her body, and said with a smile: "Is this serious enough?"
Wen Liang stretched out his hands like claws, pouncing on his food like a hungry tiger, and said, "It seems that there is a big difference between men and women in their understanding of 'seriousness'. Sister Zuo, let your brother teach you what true 'seriousness' means!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was frightened by a loud shout from the door and almost fell to the ground.
"Wenliang, what are you doing?"
Zuo Yuxi hid in the corner of the sofa with his hands on his knees, and immediately laughed so hard that his face almost fell down. He turned around with his shoulders drooped and said, "Teacher Ye, I'm reporting to Director Zuo. Are you back from buying groceries?"
Ye Yuting was carrying a basket of vegetables, and it seemed that she had just gone to the supermarket to buy things. No wonder Zuo Yuxi was fearless and not afraid that Wen Liang would execute her on the spot. It turned out that the foreshadowing was buried here.
"Reporting on your studies? Humph," Ye Yuting sneered twice, put the basket in the kitchen, walked into the living room, grabbed Wen Liang's ear, and said, "I haven't had class for a few days, huh? Do you remember which way the classroom door opens?"
Wen Liang went to Suhai for two days, was busy with the central kitchen for two days, and was delayed for two days for Qinghe design work. In total, he hadn't been to school for six days. Ye Yuting couldn't help but be angry.
"Well, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I asked for leave from my boss. I forgot to tell Teacher Ye. Please don't be offended. I'll send you the note later."
Ye Yuting didn't believe his lies and asked, "Leader? Director Hua, or Principal Zhang? Which leader approved your leave?"
Wen Liang leaned over, pointed at Zuo Yuxi, and said with a grin, "This one, Director Zuo of the Zuo Bureau, is older than the two you mentioned, right?"
Ye Yuting burst out laughing, loosened her hand, and said, "You are so young, but you are such a sly old fool!"
Zuo Yuxi had told her earlier that Wen Liang had been busy lately and indeed could not go to school. She was not angry at all, but she came to pick a fight because she saw that his sister was being lazy and was not sure what she was doing.
The three of them had dinner together, and played some poker. Wen Liang didn't even have to cheat, and he defeated the two beautiful women who lacked poker skills. But it was his bad luck, because the two sisters' poker skills were completely inversely proportional to their looks. After he lost for the 34th time, they teamed up to beat Wen Liang up and kicked him out.
Uncle Wen felt so wronged that he took a taxi home in anger, but unfortunately he got into the taxi of the guy who bargained with him. Since they had such a deep impression of each other that night, they recognized each other at first sight. After looking at each other for a while, Wen Liang felt that this was too weird, so he got out of the car, and the guy drove away without saying a word.
When he got home, he met Wen Huaiming who had returned earlier. Wen Liang's bad luck for the night was finally over, and he heard good news: Zhu Jiusi's trip to Jiangdong was abandoned halfway, and the State Council appointed him as the leader of the Suhai quantitative reform research and investigation team. He rushed to Wuzhou that day to meet with the expert group sent by the State Council and began an in-depth investigation and research on the pros and cons of Suhai's reform.
"Tonight, Wei Qiwen has arrived at Guanshan, and tomorrow Zhu Jiusi will go back to Suhai with him," Wen Huai said, obviously worried, "Although Zhu Jiusi's actions in Qingzhou show his support for reform, the situation in Suhai is changing rapidly and unpredictable. I really don't know what the final result will be... But once the wind changes, Qingzhou's reform may also be stillborn..."
He didn't know that all this was related to Wen Liang. In fact, even if he told him, he would not believe that his son could intervene in a struggle of this level - what kind of place was it, where people could be killed by laughing and talking, and turned into dust with a wave of the hand. Not to mention a sixteen-year-old boy, even Xu Fuyan, Yu Peidong, and Wei Qiwen could not fill this bottomless pit that devoured desires, people's hearts, and power. Once the general trend was gone, even Zhu Jiusi might become cannon fodder, let alone Wen Liang
Wen Liang had no time to comfort his father, as his thoughts had already flown to the picturesque Su Hai. A big drama was about to begin!
