After coming out of Songhe Tower, Yao Shang was still a little dazed. He asked in disbelief, "Is it that simple?" He just went to the bathroom, and in just a few minutes, the two of them had finalized everything. Their efficiency was a bit too fast.
Yao Shang thought that she would have to face more tests and demands from Yan Huangyan, or that he might put forward some conditions, but she did not expect it to be so simple, as simple as child's play.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "The difficult ones are not easy, and the easy ones are not difficult. There is no need to make a fuss. Director Yao, oh no, I should call him County Magistrate Yao. You should report your work to Gao Chengwu more often in the next few days. As long as he is not a fool, he will naturally know how to express his opinion."
Yao Shang's eyes were filled with deep gratitude and a hint of inexplicable friendship. She didn't know what Wen Liang and Yan Huangyan said during those few minutes, but she understood that Wen Liang must have paid a price again, just like the price he paid to save Master Ruyang by the Taihu Lake that day.
"Mr. Wen, I..."
Wen Liang raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "Don't think too much. In fact, this is not only to help you, but also to help myself. Biluochun has just started to develop. After Fu Minzhi leaves, Wujiang County must have someone I can trust to take charge." He paused, his bright and sharp eyes were almost comparable to the stars in the sky, "Yao Shang, can I trust you absolutely?"
Yao Shang nodded vigorously without hesitation, with a tough look on her soft face. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Liang smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Then he leaned back in the passenger seat and closed his eyes, "Take me to the train station. I'm a little tired. I'll take a nap first."
"Wouldn't it be too tiring to rush like this? How about staying here for a night?"
"No, I have some things to deal with when I get back. Let's drive!"
It was already 10 am when he returned to Qingzhou. Wen Liang went to the Qinghe headquarters first and asked Li Shengli and the others to get ready. As soon as Teng Jinglin arrived, they would immediately start shooting the advertisement. Then he called Zuo Yuxi, but her phone was turned off and could not be reached. She should be attending a meeting in Guanshan at this time, and he did not know how she talked with Zhang Wugu. However, with Director Zuo's wisdom and Zuo Jing's daughter, there would be no mistakes under normal circumstances, so there was no need to worry.
But when he thought of Secretary Zuo's other daughter, Wen Liang couldn't help but feel distressed. The reason why he rushed back from Suhai was for Ye Yuting. He couldn't just stay away from her for two or three days after something like that happened. How would Ye Yuting feel
When they arrived at the office building, school was just about to end at noon. Teachers who had no classes filed out. Wen Liang waited by the flower bed in front of the building. After waiting for a while, he saw Ye Yuting and Huang Mei coming out chatting and laughing.
Two days had passed since the ambiguous incident, and Ye Yuting's appearance didn't seem to have changed, which made Wen Liang secretly relieved. He went up to her and said, "Teacher Ye, are you free at noon? I have some study problems that I want to report to you."
When Ye Yuting first saw Wen Liang, she was slightly startled. Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Before she could say anything, she heard Huang Mei next to her pouting and saying, "Why haven't I seen you be so polite to me?"
"Teacher Huang, when you receive my red envelope at your wedding, you will understand how much respect and courtesy I have for you."
Huang Mei blushed and said, "Who's getting married? Don't listen to Yu Ting's nonsense!"
"Ah, it looks like they are really going to get married," Wen Liang just joked, but Huang Mei couldn't hide her thoughts, everything was written on her face. She said in surprise: "Teacher Huang, you have to be more careful and don't be fooled by those guys who cheat money and sex. What's the name of your sweetheart and where does he work? I'll check for you."
"Bah, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Do you think everyone is as mean as you?"
Huang Mei glared at Wen Liang, afraid that he would continue to use this topic to cause trouble, so she left Ye Yuting and fled without any loyalty. There were only two people left in front of the huge office building, and Wen Liang said softly: "Teacher Ye, let's have lunch together, don't worry, I'll treat you!"
In the past, Ye Yuting would have come over to twist Wen Liang's ears, but today she just stood there quietly, lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, we should talk too!"
It happened to be lunchtime, and all the small restaurants near the school were crowded. The two walked along the road for a long way, but couldn't find a secluded place. Moreover, the restaurant was full of teachers and students from the school, and it was not convenient to talk. In the end, Wen Liang suggested that they just buy some food and go back to where Ye Yuting lived, cook by themselves, and have enough food and clothing. Ye Yuting did not object.
The two turned west and went to the simple market built with an iron shed to buy some vegetables and meat. Wen Liang came forward to bargain and Ye Yuting followed behind him with the bag, as if the last time they bought vegetables was repeating themselves, but compared to that time when they were chatting and laughing, this time the two remained silent.
After less than half a year, Wen Liang once again stepped into Ye Yuting's boudoir. At a glance, it was just as clean and tidy as the last time he came, and full of a girl's warmth and comfort.
"You go watch some TV, I'll cook!"
After Ye Yuting finished speaking, she took off her coat and went straight into the kitchen. Soon, the sound of washing vegetables and chopping vegetables could be heard. Wen Liang hesitated in the living room for a moment, thinking about whether to go in and help, but in the end he held back and sat on the sofa, watching TV boredly, thinking about how to start the conversation later.
Ye Yuting's exquisite cooking skills did not decline because of today's atmosphere. It didn't take long for two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, plus a seaweed egg drop soup, to be served on the table. The aroma filled the air. Ye Yuting finished the meal, and then kept her head down eating in silence, which was in stark contrast to the playfulness between the two of them in the past. Wen Liang's heart suddenly felt a little depressed, as if something extremely important was gradually fading away, and no matter how hard you tried to grab it, you could no longer touch it.
"I had a delicious Suzhou dish in Wuzhou last night, but after tasting Teacher Ye's cooking today, I realized that my favorite is still the food from Qingzhou."
"You just came back from Su Hai?"
Ye Yuting finally broke the silence and looked up at Wen Liang. Wen Liang pinched his neck, looking exhausted, and said, "Yes, I went to deal with some urgent matters. I took the train during the day and took the train back at night. I arrived in Qingzhou at around ten o'clock this morning. I hardly slept all day and night."
In fact, he was sleeping in a sleeper berth on the train, and he was a little tired from the long journey, but he was not exhausted. He was just pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, distract Ye Yuting, and slowly ease the atmosphere in the room that was about to freeze into ice.
Sure enough, Ye Yuting couldn't hide the heartache in her eyes, and said, "You think you are an iron man, can't you stay in Wuzhou for one night?"
"I must come back," Wen Liang looked directly into Ye Yuting's eyes and said, "Sister Yuting, I can't bear to leave you alone!"
