In the morning, I went directly to the office building without entering the classroom. I waited in front of Ye Yuting's office for two minutes. The first person to come was the still charming Feng Yan. When she came closer and saw Wen Liang, she was stunned for a moment. She stood there, not knowing whether to go in or out. Her face with heavy makeup was full of embarrassment.
Wen Liang stepped aside to make way for the door and said with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Feng. Please come in. I'm here to ask for leave from Teacher Ye."
Feng Yan didn't expect Wen Liang to be so nice, so she immediately responded with a smile on her face, "Ah, it's Wen Liang. Come in and sit down first. Your teacher Ye is coming up soon. I just saw her signing in downstairs."
He opened the door and welcomed Wen Liang in, and enthusiastically poured a glass of water and placed it on the table. Wen Liang thanked him quickly and asked, "Teacher Feng, I heard that your son works in the No. 1 Cotton Mill. How is the performance there?"
"He is in the security department. The performance is not as good as in the early years, but it is better than other factories. The salary can still be paid."
Speaking of her son, Feng Yan smiled gently. This is the secret to controlling the atmosphere of the conversation. If you have nothing to talk about with a middle-aged woman in her forties, then talk about her son. You will definitely get the point. Wen Liang nodded. The cotton mill can last for a while because of its diverse products and low costs, but it will eventually have to go through the pain of reform: "That's really good. The wages of the agricultural machinery factory have become a problem..."
When Ye Yuting pushed the door open, everything in front of her was beyond her imagination. Feng Yan was sitting on a chair, Wen Liang was standing beside her table, the two of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Just looking at this scene, who would have thought that just yesterday, these two people were like enemies
"Teacher Ye, you are here. Wen Liang wants to ask for leave from you. You two can chat first. I have to go to class."
Feng Yan greeted Ye Yuting enthusiastically, and made an appointment with Wen Liang to chat again when she was free. When she left, Ye Yuting looked at Wen Liang with a half-smile, and teased: "I always thought I had seen through you, but I didn't expect that you scolded her like that yesterday, but you can still chat with her with a smile today?"
Wen Liang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "My ability to flatter is just as good as my ability to scold people! We should respect our teachers. We can't deny the whole person because of some of his shortcomings. We should look at Feng Yan from two perspectives."
"Stop!" Ye Yuting covered her ears and told him to shut up. Every time she heard Wen Liang's nonsense, she had the urge to bang her head against the wall. What Ye Yuting didn't know was that Zuo Yuxi, Ning Xiaoning, and Ji Su had had this urge before, and Xu Yao was a little silly and still enjoyed listening to it.
"Wen Liang, I know you are doing this for the teacher's good, thank you!" Ye Yuting is not a fool. Although Feng Yan apologized to her and Huang Mei as soon as he came back from the Academic Affairs Office yesterday as Wen Liang predicted, his attitude was still a bit bad, and the atmosphere in the whole office became heavy and awkward. Huang Mei was young and had poor psychological quality. When school was over in the afternoon, she wanted to change offices. With Wen Liang's actions today, Feng Yan could take the opportunity to step down, and everyone was happy, but it was really hard for him to be so thoughtful and considerate at such a young age.
Wen Liang laughed, took out the note from his pocket and said, "It's just talk. Teacher Ye, if you really want to thank me, please approve the note, right?"
Ye Yuting didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She picked up the pen holder on the table and pretended to smash it. Huang Mei ran in happily and shouted, "Sister Ye, Team Leader Feng just greeted me and was smiling..."
Wen Liang seemed to be infected by her happiness, and a smile appeared on his lips. He did not regret what he did yesterday, but it was conceivable that although Feng Yan did not dare to cause trouble for them openly, she was still the head of the teaching and research group after all. They were in the same office and would see each other every day. If things got too awkward, it would not be good for Huang Mei and Ye Yuting.
"Mr. Huang, please pay attention to your appearance! You look so silly and happy, you might not be able to get married..."
Huang Mei then noticed Wen Liang standing to the side. She quickly straightened her head and chest, straightened the hem of her shirt, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Wen Liang, why are you called to the office to be criticized so early in the morning? Isn't the frequency of your mistakes too high?"
Ye Yuting took over the conversation and waved the note in her hand, "I'm asking for leave, another day! Huang Mei, you have a class in the first period, right? Do you still have time to chat here?"
"Okay, I'll leave. I see you're hiding this student like a treasure... Hehe, don't hit me. I'll leave."
Wen Liang looked at the two female teachers fighting and not taking his student seriously at all, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart: Does this mean that my presence is too weak, or does this mean that I am simply a friend of women
"Teacher Ye, please approve it. I have something urgent to do today!" Wen Liang started pestering Huang Mei as soon as she left. It was okay to skip classes, but I have become quite close to Ye Yuting recently, so I should go through the necessary procedures, otherwise it would be difficult for them to meet.
"Wen Liang, the first placement test will be held in a few days. This test is very important. It will basically determine your position in the hearts of your teachers and classmates, and will have a great impact on all aspects of your future. I hope you can pay attention to your studies, don't disappoint the teacher who likes you, and don't... disappoint me!"
Ye Yuting's eyes were as black as ink, bright as the morning stars, her expression was sincere and her teachings were earnest. Wenliang did not want to argue any more, nodded and suddenly said: "I don't know why, I suddenly felt that your eyebrows and eyes are a bit like someone else, Teacher Ye, although they are completely different styles, but it's really a bit..."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Yuting picked up the pen and wrote a "yes" on the leave application, threw it into Wen Liang's arms, and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and leave, don't bother me here."
Qingzhou Education Bureau is located on Chang'an Road, only three streets away from the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is convenient to communicate with the city leaders, and the disadvantage is that the leaders communicate too frequently. It is said that Director Li Dingguo has a headache at noon. Whoever comes to have a meal from the leaders of various departments, big or small, you have to accompany him? Sometimes the leaders don't discuss it well, and two or three waves come before and after, and Li Dingguo has to rush to the party. He drinks here and there, and he has to fall down if he can't stand it. So there is a jingle circulating in the Education Bureau: A hundred-year plan is based on leadership, ten years of drinking, and a hundred-year director. It became a joke for a while.
I called Zuo Yuxi at the tobacco shop outside, and the two met at a high-end western restaurant on Chang'an Road. Zuo Yuxi was wearing a professional suit, a white twill open-collar shirt, and a black tight waist suit. The style was simple and the lines were clear. He paired it with purple high-heeled leather shoes with patterned edges. He looked smart and capable, but also graceful. Wen Liang skillfully crossed and circled the steak. Zuo Yuxi held up her chin and stared at him with interest: "It's amazing, don't tell me Wen Huaiming often brings you to these places? I deliberately wanted to see you make a fool of yourself today."
"Sister Zuo, it's very difficult to see me make a fool of myself, but it seems that what I saw from someone was more than just a fool."
Zuo Yuxi's pretty face turned slightly red. She picked up her fork and tapped Wen Liang's plate, saying, "You want a fight, huh? How long has it been? I'm still being teased by you all day long? Just wait, sooner or later I'll get back at you. Let's see how you can still stand up to this."
Wen Liang smiled slightly: "I suddenly remembered a joke..."
Thinking of the joke on the boat last time, Zuo Yuxi quickly stuffed the steak she had cut into Wen Liang's mouth to stop him from talking nonsense. This subconscious action showed that she had already regarded Wen Liang as a very close person in her heart. Otherwise, why don't you try to eat with a beautiful woman's tableware? Especially in such a dangerous occasion as a Western meal.
"Okay, stop being so frivolous all day. What's the matter with you so urgently?"
Wen Liang looked at Zuo Yuxi carefully again and said, "Well, they are a bit similar..."
"What?"
"Nothing," Wen Liang changed the subject and whispered, "I contacted Xu Fuyan, but he hasn't responded yet. However, I think there is a high possibility that we will meet tonight." Wen Huaiming's message had not yet arrived, but as long as Xu Fuyan was not really stupid, there was no reason for him to refuse the olive branch extended by Zuo Yuxi under the current circumstances.
Zuo Yuxi's hand holding the knife and fork paused. At this moment, even she was a little nervous. She raised her head and looked at Wen Liang without saying a word.
"Believe me, it's okay. Everything will go as we planned. There won't be any mistakes!" Wen Liang reached out his hand from the dining table and placed it on the back of her hand. His hand was very cold.
Zuo Yuxi put down the knife and fork, clasped his hands together, and interlocked his fingers with Wen Liang, and chuckled, "I believe you!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes moving, for a long time before they smiled at each other, with infinite warmth in their hearts.
"By the way, didn't you say we would meet in the evening? Why did you call me out so early?" The atmosphere just now was too ambiguous. Zuo Yuxi tried to adjust her mood, but her coquettish look looked like she was just acting like a spoiled child.
Wen Liang slapped his forehead and said, "Sister, we have to discuss how to deal with it at night. Don't be afraid if you just say Lao Xu when you meet him. Take off all your clothes and fight hard. We are your strong backing, don't be afraid!"
"Haha," Zuo Yuxi laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She pointed at Wen Liang and joked, "Okay, you dare to make up stories about your future father-in-law. Be careful that Xu Yao will punish you." She didn't know that bitch Wen Liang had been cheating people several times under the guise of her future father-in-law.
Wen Liang smiled and said: "We are just good friends..."
Zuo Yuxi rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and asked, "You're taking a day off today. Do you have to stay at home and wait for Wen Huaiming's call?"
"Well, that's a good question! I left your phone number so that we can be together all day today."
"You damned brat," Zuo Yuxi stood up and tried to pull his ears, complaining, "Only my closest people know my number, and there are no more than three people in Qingzhou, and you gave it to someone else casually."
"But that's Xu..."
"Xu Fuyan is no good! I don't want anyone to disturb me except during working hours! Now this number can't be used anymore. It's all your fault."
If someone saw Zuo Yuxi, the most cold and beautiful woman in Qingzhou officialdom, being as angry as a little girl at this moment, they would probably hug a telephone pole and kill themselves.
Zuo MM is really becoming more and more feminine! However, Uncle Wen was speechless about this kind of woman's inability to grasp the key point. At this time, why are you still fussing about these things? He comforted her, "OK, OK, this is just one time, it won't happen again. This is mainly an extraordinary choice in an extraordinary period. Oh, it seems that I have to get a pager!"
Seeing Wen Liang's bitter face, Zuo Yuxi burst into laughter, took out a mobile phone from her bag, put it on the table and pushed it over: "Okay, I'll give this to you. Anyway, I can't use this number."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "Well, I'm still a student. How can I hold a cell phone? Sister Zuo, please stop tempting me. Be careful or I will really take it."
Zuo Yuxi smiled and didn't insist, and started chatting about something else. The two of them chatted and laughed for two hours, and the monotonous phone ringtone finally rang.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang chuckled and said, "Seven o'clock in the evening, No. 17 Chunxi Road! Xu Fuyan is very sincere and made an appointment directly at his home." (To be continued)
