Xu Yao knew that Wen Liang wanted to get away, so she made a painful expression on her face, and her big, lovely eyes were filled with tears. She said, "Uncle Wen, I sprained my ankle and can't walk. Thanks to Wen Liang for carrying me back. You must praise him when you go back."
She was talking to Wen Huaiming, but she was always staring at Xu Fuyan from the corner of her eyes. Xu Fuyan's face was a little unfriendly at first, but after all, father and daughter are connected by heart. When he heard that Xu Yao was injured, he didn't care about anything else and asked, "Is the injury serious? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"No, I'll be fine after a night's rest. Dad, just do your thing and don't worry about me. Goodbye, Uncle Wen." Xu Yao smiled at the adults, but in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and carry me upstairs."
As the saying goes, Xu Yao must be the one to deal with Xu Fuyan. Wen Liang dared not hesitate, and took two steps at a time, and climbed up to the second floor. He threw Xu Yao onto the bed, panting and said, "Let's not talk about anything else first. Xu Yao, you really should lose weight."
Xu Yao was furious and grabbed the teddy bear on the bed and threw it over. Wen Liang raised his hand to catch it, spread open her legs and took a look, and said to himself, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Winnie the Pooh has been Xu Yao's most caring bedmate for many years. How could she let Wen Liang mess around like this? She stood up and sneered, "She's a woman. Do you want to be like her?"
Wen Liang automatically ignored the profound meaning of this sentence and opened his mouth wide: "You, your foot is okay?"
"Well… "
Xu Yao stood there in a daze, almost wanting to dive into the quilt out of embarrassment, but her face was now as thick as Wen Liang's. She coughed lightly and said, "It's like this, I was moving back and forth the whole way, and it just healed after a little thump."
Wen Liang just smiled without saying anything, intending to see how Xu Yao would make up stories. Xu Yao was annoyed by his annoying expression and was about to throw the jar into the ground to let him see what being unreasonable meant, when Ning Xiaoning walked up leisurely.
Xu Yao weighed the pros and cons and decisively decided to use Ning Xiaoning to change the subject. She snorted and ignored Wen Liang, walked over and took Ning Xiaoning's hand, and said, "Why did you come up just now?"
Ning Xiaoning stayed behind to clean up the mess, she couldn't just follow Xu Yao's nonsense and walk away. Although Xu Fuyan would not argue with his daughter, Wen Liang did not have the same treatment, especially in this era, which father would not be on guard against those male classmates who tried to get close to his daughter like a thief
Xu Fuyan is not any other father. He is the person who holds the highest power in Qingzhou. If Wen Liang is really angry because of this, it won’t be a big problem, but it will not be a good thing after all.
Of course, this was also because Ning Xiaoning didn't know the position of Wen Liang in Xu Fuyan's heart, so she made such a misjudgment. But in front of both parents, the two young men and women were so close, Xu Fuyan was indeed a little annoyed!
Ning Xiaoning greeted Xu Wen and the others obediently, and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm staying here tonight and will chat with Xu Yao."
This was not the first time, nor would it be the last. Xu Fuyan had always loved Ning Xiaoning very much, so of course he would not say no. He smiled and said, "Xiaoning, I haven't seen your father for a while. Just say what I said, no matter how busy you are, you must take time to participate in group activities, otherwise, next time our photography association holds a regular meeting, I will propose to expel him from the list."
The so-called photography association is naturally a closed small circle. Among its members are Xu Fuyan, a senior official of Qingzhou City, and Ning Guobang, the chief mechanic. It can be seen that the threshold is very high and not everyone is qualified.
"I've made a note of this. I will make sure Comrade Ning realizes the seriousness of the problem." Ning Xiaoning shook the SLR in her hand, with a sly look that resembled Xu Yao's. She said, "But Uncle Xu, you haven't touched a camera in a long time. Today, the three of us went to the park to play, and when we were taking pictures, we found that the lens was covered with dust."
Xu Fuyan laughed loudly and walked out first. Wen Huaiming lagged behind and said to Ning Xiaoning with a smile, "Please tell Wen Liang to go home early. I have something to talk to him about."
Ning Xiaoning could still remain calm in front of Xu Fuyan, but for some reason her heartbeat suddenly accelerated when she faced Wen Huaiming. She felt like she had nowhere to put her hands and feet. Her body became stiff, and even the smile on her face became stiff. She stammered, "Okay, okay, I'll tell Wen Liang..."
Wen Huaiming smiled kindly and chased after Xu Fuyan. Ning Xiaoning showed annoyance on her face, clenched her hands tightly, and walked upstairs with her head down.
She was very dissatisfied with her performance. Wen Huaiming had said the word "trouble", but she didn't even say "Uncle, you're welcome". This definitely gave people a very impolite impression.
Ning Xiaoning glanced at Wen Liang, took a deep breath, put aside all the things in her mind for the time being, and said: "I just said a few words downstairs... Yaoyao, I'm tired..."
Xu Yao chuckled and said, "Okay, then let's take a shower together later. We've been playing all day and are all sweaty."
If it were any other day, Wen Liang would definitely ask them to take a bath together, but he keenly sensed that something was wrong. Although the sight of two beautiful little girls taking a bath was very exciting, he still said seriously, "Then you guys have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Ning Xiaoning looked up and said, "Uncle Wen asked you to go back early because he had something to talk to you about."
"knew!"
After Wen Liang left, Xu Yao hugged Ning Xiaoning's waist and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Ning Xiaoning was silent for a moment, shook her head and smiled, saying: "Nothing, go take a shower."
Ding Mei was discussing the store decoration with Ding Lan. Wen Liang poured himself a glass of water and sat aside to listen. He did not expect that Ding Mei had never done business before, but he was quite thoughtful about some issues. He then interjected a few words, but forgot that his mother's dignity should not be offended. He rolled his eyes at him and immediately went back to watch TV obediently.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Wen Huaiming came back. The Ding Mei sisters were still enthusiastically discussing their business plans, while Wen Liang collapsed on the sofa and had actually fallen asleep.
Ding Lan hurriedly stood up and called him brother-in-law. Wen Huaiming didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so he nodded without saying anything more. He woke up Wen Liang and went to the study.
Wen Liang made a cup of strong tea to refresh himself. Wen Huaiming sat behind the desk, rubbing his temples gently with his thumbs. The father and son remained silent. After a few minutes, Wen Huaiming spoke first, "What have you been doing recently?"
"Nothing much, just going to class, shopping, and occasionally making a few new friends..."
"Really?" Wen Huaiming leaned back in his chair and asked, "Hou Xinghua is also your new friend?"
Hou Xinghua was the friend Liu Tian came to see, and he was also the owner of the fishery company that had taken over the Linzhuang Reservoir and set up a trap for Minghua. Wen Liang smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that things were developing according to his plan. He did not intend to deny it, and said, "Yes, Dad, just say whatever you want."
Wen Huaiming pondered for a long time and said, "Let's give up the reservoir."
Wen Liang smiled mockingly and said, "Did Xu Fuyan nod?"
Wen Liang had long expected that Gu Shitong would eventually find Xu Fuyan behind the scenes. Minghua had invested so much manpower and resources in this project, how could it give up halfway just because the reservoir changed hands
"This is not just a business matter," Wen Huaiming organized his words, thinking about how to make Wen Liang's backlash less intense, and said, "The demolition and resettlement work in the old city has been started at the same time. Minghua will invest hundreds of millions in the next three to five years. If you make some demands, or some demands that are not too excessive, not only Secretary Xu, but no one in the city can say anything against it... I know what you mean, but dealing with Gu Shitong is not a matter of one day or one night, nor is it a matter of hundreds of millions for a project. Don't be impatient, be patient!"
"What if I don't let you?"
Wen Huaiming said helplessly: "This is Xu Fuyan's Qingzhou, it's neither yours nor mine. If you want the Water Conservancy Bureau to tear up the agreement or make it invalid, it's just a matter of Xu Fuyan's words. Without his nod, it's just a piece of waste paper, meaningless and not enough to rely on!"
"Ha, it turns out that officials are just mouths. Xu Fuyan is so arbitrary and treats the law as a joke. Isn't he afraid of affecting Qingzhou's image and the environment for attracting investment?"
Wen Huaiming felt a little relieved when he heard that Wen Liang seemed to be a little more cautious, but he still said with a straight face: "It's just a small contract of 250,000 yuan. Hou Xinghua is a native of Qingzhou. There are too many ways to make him surrender. If we can't find him now..."
Wen Liang burst out laughing, Wen Huaiming glared at him and said, "Don't think that you can drag it out for a long time just because you let Hou Xinghua run away. If you can't find the person, you have to do it. When the time comes, Xu Fuyan will not be as easy to talk to as he is today. Do you understand?"
"Speaking of this, even Gu Shitong doesn't know that I was behind this, so how did you guess it, Dad?"
Wen Huaiming is not a god, so he certainly can't find Wen Liang by counting his fingers. Today, Gu Shitong came all the way from Guanshan to visit Xu Fuyan and talked about the importance of the reservoir to him and Minghua. Xu Fuyan asked Wen Huaiming and Liu Tianlai to do this. Liu Tianlai had received Wen Liang's instructions and selectively reported certain situations to Wen Huaiming, which led to the conversation between father and son tonight.
Wen Liang thought for a while and felt that it was about enough. He was not naive enough to think that taking control of the reservoir would make Minghua unable to recover. In addition to wanting to disgust Gu Shitong and cause him trouble, of course he wanted to bargain with Xu Fuyan.
"I can take a step back, but Xu Fuyan has gained a lot of benefits from Gu Shitong this time, so he can't just dismiss me with just one sentence..."
Wen Huaiming had gradually gotten used to being sandwiched between Xu Fuyan and bargaining with his son, so he didn't find it surprising. He nodded and said, "You tell me."
Wen Liang leaned close and whispered something in his ear. Although Wen Huaiming had such a calm and steady Qi-cultivation skill, he was still shocked and lost his mind. He stared at Wen Liang in silence for a long time with surprise in his eyes.
"So, you are working for Qinghua Plant..."
