"It's nothing, actually," Yan Huangyan said lightly, "Didn't Lei Fang go to Fude City last time to invite Professor Sun Weiyang from the Mining University to come out? It just so happened that the boss was there doing some things, so I took the time to meet with him. During the meeting, we talked about the great things you have done in Beijing. We sisters all admire you very much."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Why haven't I heard Lei Fang mention it?"
Yan Huangyan smiled but said nothing. Wen Liang then realized that Lei Fang must have sold him out completely, so he had been avoiding talking about this matter. But when you think about it, you can't blame him. Facing the overwhelming pressure from Yan Qixiu, it is really not something that ordinary people can bear to keep something to themselves.
What's more, the relationship between the two has always been based on cooperation and interests first. It is far from the point where Lei Fang would risk offending Yan Qixiu to maintain it. If he were in the same situation, he might have made the same choice.
This is the helplessness of people in this world. From the emperor to the common people, no one can avoid it. Smart people will be more understanding of each other, so there is no need to delve into it!
But Yan Qixiu's family is big and he must be very busy on weekdays. His identity is too sensitive. He actually went to see Lei Fang to inquire about his background. Wen Liang couldn't help but feel wary.
He knew himself well. He had neither Pan An's appearance nor Song Yu's talent. He would not mistakenly think that Yan Qixiu's favor for him was related to love between men and women. And a great person like her would have a strong interest in a person. If it had nothing to do with love between men and women, then it must be because this person had a certain degree of use value to her.
Wen Liang never underestimated himself. His foundation was gradually becoming solid. From Qingzhou to Guanshan, from Jiangdong to Suhai, from the local areas to the capital, he had quietly built a network of relationships that ordinary people could not possibly reach in decades. He had everything under his control, above ground and underground, in the officialdom and business circles. From then on, he had his feet on the ground, his head held high, and with a blink of an eye, he could set off lightning and thunder!
If someone can keenly perceive all this, those who are less powerful will seek refuge with them, those who are of equal status will tend to cooperate, and only those who have the world in their arms and are invincible will want to conquer them.
Yan Qixiu was of course the latter, and since she had a mortal enemy in Jiangdong, Wen Liang's value was even more prominent. If she could get his full support, she wouldn't be able to do anything else, but at least she would have a better chance of winning against Zhuang Shaoxuan in Jiangdong Province.
So for a little Luo Qi, he actually alarmed Yan Huangyan to come to Qingzhou in person, spoke softly and gently, answered every question, and put himself in such a humble manner. It was not because he had any concerns, but because he was optimistic about Wen Liang and the force he represented, and wanted to make friends with him.
Wen Liang's mind flashed, and he immediately understood this. He said, "I'm sorry to have troubled Boss Yan. Why bother again next time? If there's anything you want to know, just find someone to ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
There seemed to be dissatisfaction and warning in his words, but they were said in a teasing tone, which made people neither angry nor angry. Yan Huangyan had been with Yan Qixiu and had seen many powerful people with eloquence and delicate minds over the years, but Wen Liang was the only one who could have such means at his age.
"If the boss hadn't been busy this time, I wouldn't have been qualified to talk to Master Wen directly. Don't make such jokes in the future, lest I think Master Wen is angry and wants to embarrass me in person..."
This woman is neither hasty nor slow, and is flexible and tactful. She does not show off her true colors when she speaks, but she always has hidden ideas. She is not at all inferior to Wen Liang in a competition. She is truly amazing.
Wen Liang was choked by her words, so he just let it go and said, "Haha, I am a straightforward person, I don't have so many tricks, and I don't know how to speak in moderation. After we get to know each other more, Miss Yan will understand. If my words offend you, please forgive me."
Yan Huangyan almost couldn't breathe. If you speak your mind, the world will be full of heartless people. However, he showed a sympathetic look, clapped his hands and smiled, "That's great. I am often scolded by my boss for speaking bluntly and easily offending people. Today, I met Master Wen, and we can be considered to be in the same boat!"
I feel sorry for you, you big-headed ghost. Wen Liang froze for a moment. He has always been complacent about his thick skin, but he didn't expect that today he would finally meet his worthy opponent, a guy with an even thicker skin.
"Ms. Yan said it well. Since we are all straightforward people, let's speak straightforwardly. Let me ask you, is it because Mr. Yan met with Lei Fang and asked a few questions about me that Luo Qi suddenly changed into a different person and became insane out of jealousy?" Wen Liang smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "In layman's terms, is he crazy?"
Since they met, the two have clashed several times. Yan Huang was neither humble nor overbearing, but for the first time, she showed a bit of embarrassment in her eyes. She put her slender hand on her lips, coughed lightly, and said, "After meeting Lei Fang, I personally felt that it was necessary to increase the attention paid to Qingzhou, so I talked to Luo Qi privately and asked him to pay more attention to... cough, local customs and other anecdotes after work. Then he also mentioned you, Master Wen. I praised you with a few sincere words in a realistic way, and said that the boss had the same opinion. Maybe Luo Qi would have some other thoughts after hearing it. This is purely my work mistake and inconsiderateness. I have to make a self-examination with Master Wen..."
I bought a bag last year. I went through so much trouble. It turns out that the root of the problem is you. Wen Liang thought to himself, there is no need to review. If it weren't for your sincere words, Luo Qi might have lost his mind and done such a stupid thing. In that case, I might not have discovered that there was someone else's spy lurking around me. I was scared just thinking about letting someone snore beside me.
But we have to admit that Yan Huangyan's skin is so thick that even gods and ghosts would retreat away. He monitors if he wants to, goes undercover if he wants to, collects intelligence if he wants to, and what the hell does he care about the local customs and practices after work? Is this a one-day tour in Qingzhou
Wen Liang crossed his arms and looked at Yan Huangyan's pretty face leisurely, as if he was trying to figure out what material her white and tender skin was made of, how could it be so thick that it would not wear out even after thousands of years of dripping water? He said, "Oh, how did Miss Yan praise me? Would it be okay for you to tell me?"
If Yan Huangyan knew what Wen Liang was thinking just now, he would definitely return his analysis of how thick-skinned he was without any change. However, under his piercing gaze, he had no choice but to tell him everything: "Young Master Wen is only eighteen years old, but he is full of wisdom and ideas. He is a young talent..."
After listening to An Baoqing's retelling of Luo Qi's drunken crazy talk, Wen Liang finally understood the source of his words of praise. It also showed how much psychological harm these words had caused to Luo Qi, causing him to refute and complain about every word when he was drunk. He was really jealous and indignant to the extreme.
Combining the preceding and following, Wen Liang thought about it carefully and realized that Luo Qi had told him that he wanted to solve his personal problems in Qingzhou right after Lei Fang went to Fude City, and then he had gone to Beijing for the third time. He had been away for more than half a month, and he had just returned when he encountered this drama of jealousy, which proved that what Yan Huangyan said was true.
After finally figuring out the whole story, Wen Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Luo Xi's initial stay in Qingzhou was not arranged by Yan Qixiu, as his strength grew and he became strong enough to enter her field of vision and arouse her interest, Luo Xi became a time bomb that could explode at any time. Being able to remove this thorn in the side without damaging the relationship between the two parties was undoubtedly the best outcome.
After finishing the business, they chatted for a while. Yan Huangyan tried to point out Guanshan, but Wen Liang avoided the topic and was too cunning. So he stopped talking. Anyway, he could slowly make plans over time. He stood up and said goodbye, "This time, Huang Yan owes Wen Shao a favor. If you come to Wuzhou in the future, please let me do my best to be a good host."
This woman was smart and cunning, with a sharp mind, which made Wen Liang exhausted. He wanted her to leave as soon as possible, but he still tried to keep her. Seeing that she was determined to leave, he pressed the pager and ordered someone to call Yan Xuanjue.
Not long after, Yan Xuanjue, led by An Baoqing, entered the private room on the second floor. His eyes were still sparkling. He was about to make a sarcastic remark to Wen Liang, but was stopped by Yan Huangyan's gaze.
Wen Liang was still calm and indifferent to Yan Xuanjue's hatred. He shook hands with Yan Huangyan and walked out side by side. As soon as he reached the stairs, Luo Qi, who had been waiting here, came up and said word by word: "I want to see the boss..."
Yan Huangyan did not turn around and leave this time. She was wearing a light yellow dress and her long black hair was gathered behind her shoulders. She looked like a girl next door and was approachable. She smiled softly and said, "You have caused such a thing. I have already broken the boss's rules by not holding you responsible. Don't even think about it anymore. Just stay here and see how Young Master Wen will deal with you!"
Although Luo Qi already had a bad premonition, he did not expect Yan Huangyan to be so ruthless. Not only did he not come to support him, but he left him to Wen Liang.
Who is Wen Liang? What will happen if you offend him and have no one to rely on
But this was not what Luo Qi cared about most. What really concerned him was that he had once again become a useless pawn!
"You... Boss, you would never treat me like this. Let me see the boss, you filthy-hearted, rotten-lung, poisonous phoenix..."
Luo Qi's eyes were full of blood, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Yan Huangyan's neck. He was tall and strong, with long legs and strong arms. He also learned judo for several years. He was not a silver-plated spear head that looked good but was useless. The force of this grab was great and his arm was heavy, which might hurt Yan Huangyan.
Wen Liang had just fallen behind a few steps to avoid suspicion, and was unable to come to the rescue in time. Unexpectedly, Yan Xuanjue, who was following closely beside Yan Huangyan, kicked Luo Qi, who was over 1.8 meters tall, to the ground with a clean and neat kick, as fast as thunder and lightning, and then stepped heavily on his face, saying viciously: "You don't know what's good for you. If you dare to say another word, I'll pull out your tongue!"
Yan Huangyan was known for his wisdom. Even Zhuge Liang lamented that his life was shortened by burning his rattan armor. Sometimes he acted too calculatingly and inevitably appeared vicious. Therefore, he was often called "Poisonous Phoenix" behind his back. However, Luo Qi was the first one who dared to say so to his face.
Yan Huangyan's expression did not change from the moment Luo Qi roared to the moment he attacked. He took two steps forward and stopped right beside Luo Qi's face. He sighed softly and said, "Luo Qi, take care of yourself from now on!" (To be continued)
