Ye Yuting came out of the kitchen and saw the two people cuddling in the living room, but she didn't say anything and retreated silently. After a while, Zuo Yuxi sat up straight from Wen Liang's arms and said, "Speaking of which, how did you know that Fan Bo and Lei Fang went to Dandelion to fool around?"
This news was naturally not reported by Gao Zhan. As the most capable undercover agent currently planted beside Lei Fang, there was no need to expose himself for such a small matter. Wen Liang smiled and said, "I have to thank An Baoqing for this. It was the news that Cat Girl got by chance and passed it to my ears through Brother Jiu. You know, a place like Dandelion is difficult for ordinary people except for those inside. By the way, I have never asked you, what is the relationship between An Baoqing and Cat Girl?"
"This is a long story. Lao Jiu and Mao Niang were from the same village and grew up together. Lao Jiu's family was poor, and he relied on Mao Niang to help him with his meals from time to time. Later, he got into trouble and became a fugitive in his teens. He almost died on the road several times, but he was able to escape thanks to Mao Niang. He was considered to have received a great favor from her..."
Listening to Zuo Yuxi's gentle narration of the past years, Wen Liang seemed to see a beautiful woman in the rivers and lakes of swords and sabers, using her not-so-strong but delicate shoulders to support a boy with a tranquility that was close to his extravagant hope. The rise of every tyrant is inseparable from hardship and suffering, and even more so from hideousness and blood. An Baoqing was so lucky to leave a touch of light pink light on this road of killing, even though this light also dimmed its own color with the turbid world, and condensed into a thick black that could not be seen clearly inside, but after all, it had been bright, brightening others and brightening himself.
"So, Brother Nine and Cat Lady..."
Zuo Yuxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "As a man, don't be so gossipy... If you ask me if they are together, I won't tell you..."
Wen Liang may think that such gossip is not good, so he did not ask further questions. However, he remembered the little girl named Sang Li mentioned by An Baoqing. He also sent Liu Tianlai to investigate secretly, but he did not find anything. He did not know whether there was any relationship between Liu Tianlai and the cat girl. However, these are private matters, and Wen Liang does not need to dig deep. Giving subordinates a certain amount of private space is the only way for superiors.
"Where's Yuting? Why is she hiding in the kitchen and not coming out?"
Wen Liang looked towards the kitchen. Zuo Yuxi smiled slightly, blew into Wen Liang's ear and said, "Why, you miss me after not seeing me for a while?"
The gentle hand quietly stretched out from the hem of the pajamas, got under Zuo Yuxi's buttocks, picked up the skin as smooth as beef fat, rubbed it gently, and whispered: "Two birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. I don't want anything else, I only want you..."
"Itchy... Stop it..."
The next day at noon, the Qingzhou City senior official's office was unusually not as busy as usual. Xu Fu, who had just finished his official duties, stretched his body lazily and said to Wen Huaiming, who was standing across the table, with a smile: "Want a plate?"
"Okay, it's rare that the secretary is in a good mood today."
"It's a good opportunity to take a break from busy life. Zhang Fang, bring the chessboard over here."
Zhang Fang in the outer room agreed and found an ancient wooden chess set from under the bookcase next to him. After placing the chess pieces, Wen Huaiming made the first move. Xu Fuyan jumped the horse and said nonchalantly, "It's been very lively in Hua Ting these past two days. Huaiming, have you heard about it?"
Wen Huaiming stepped forward and said, "I didn't hear him mention it beforehand, but he called me afterwards and didn't say anything important. There are only a few companies in total."
"Youth are formidable. Your kid's future is limitless... Get out of here!"
Wen Huaiming smiled and said, "Secretary, you are too kind. Anyway, let him do it himself. I can't control it or help him. It all depends on him how far he can go."
"Capture the horse!" Wen Huaiming was only focused on looking at the pawns on the river, but Xu Fuyan stole a horse by surprise. He placed the horse on the side of the chessboard with a smug look on his face, and said, "That's right and wrong. In your current position, it's good to be cautious, but don't be too cautious. As long as it doesn't violate discipline and laws, you should still help where you can. Fathers and sons are still in the same battle. Our party advocates integrity and dedication to public service, but it doesn't mean that people should cut off their emotions. Work is important, but family must also be taken care of!"
These words didn't sound like words between superiors and subordinates, but more like casual chats between friends. Wen Huaiming smiled bitterly and said, "People's words are scary. If you can avoid them, you should avoid them..."
"You are too mature and prudent. This is your advantage, but also your disadvantage. You should learn more from me in this regard. If you want to know what people say, your son takes my daughter out for a walk every day and doesn't come home at night. He even has the crazy idea of asking Xu Yao to shoot an advertisement. Many people have complained to me..."
Wen Huaiming was suddenly startled, and the cannon in his hand, which was about to drop, was placed in the wrong place, right under the horse's hoof. Xu Fuyan laughed and ate it up neatly.
"Uh, this doesn't count, Secretary. Allow me to take a step back, a step back!"
"Don't regret your move, Huai Ming, you are a true gentleman, but don't mess up the rules!"
Wen Huaiming stretched out his hand to grab the piece, but Xu Fuyan held it tightly in his hand and refused to let go, just like two country boys playing around, without any of their usual dignity and solemnity. Zhang Fang, who was sitting outside, heard the noise in the room and couldn't help showing envy on his face. Anyone who could have such a casual relationship with the leader would be a great blessing. However, despite his envy, Zhang Fang also knew that this was fate and could not be forced. Sitting in a chair and thinking about the upcoming exile, he was nervous but also full of ambition. He firmly believed that when he arrived in Bai'an County, he would create a world of his own!
Wen Huaiming saw that there was no hope of regretting his move, so he just gave up. However, during this time, he had already thought of how to respond, and carefully considered his words, saying, "Secretary, you know that although Wen Liang is a little naughty, he is still a man who knows his limits. He will only love and care for Xiaoyao, and will not do anything wrong..."
Xu Fuyan waved his hand indifferently and said, "You don't need to tell me that. I know your kid is very smart and won't make any mistakes, so I don't bother to care about them. But there is one thing, Xu Yao is too young and still in school, so it is not appropriate for her to shoot a commercial."
Wen Huaiming pulled the car back to his photo and said, "I understand. I'll tell him when I get back."
Xu Fuyan laughed loudly, his horse lay in the trough, his cart used as a gun carriage, and shouted, "General!"
Almost at the same time, at the Guanshan Minghua Group headquarters, four people were sitting in the chairman's office, namely Gu Shitong, Mu Zechen, Gu Wenzhou and Lu Xinyan. Originally, Lu Xinyan was not qualified to attend this level of meeting, but Gu Wenzhou wanted her to show her face in front of Gu Shitong more often to prepare for her future entry into the decision-making level of Minghua Group, so he spared no effort to recommend her and brought her here on the grounds that she had fought with the Wen family in Qingzhou.
Mu Zechen reported in detail all the developments of the Huating Hotel in the past three days. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, just like a boxer who had been fighting with his opponent in the ring for a long time, thinking that it was a life-and-death battle, but in the end he found out that he was hitting the air and his real opponent was actually someone else. The feeling of powerlessness and being fooled was really not pleasant.
Gu Wenzhou's face was full of regret. He was Gu Shitong's nephew, so he didn't have to worry too much about what he said. He said, "No wonder I haven't won even once after fighting with Wen Huaiming for so long. It turns out that I haven't found the right person!"
Mu Zechen was afraid that Gu Shitong would be unhappy after hearing this, so he carefully looked at his expression and said, "You can't say that. Wen Huaiming is very popular in the officialdom and he is not an easy character to deal with. Besides, no one would have thought that a young boy would have such a mind and means..."
Lu Xinyan remained silent. It was not because she had changed her personality today and pretended to be reserved in front of Gu Shitong, but because she was shocked by the news she heard today and could not extricate herself. She could never have imagined that the Qingzhou playboy who had no manners and low quality when they first met would be the boss behind several large companies, holding hundreds of millions or even billions of funds, and even talents like Fan Bo, Meng Fan, Ji Zheng and Yin Yong were willing to work for him. He had thousands of troops under his command, based in Jiangdong, deployed across the country, conquered cities and made a great name for himself.
Seeing this person, Lu Xinyan was a little dazed for a moment. Was he really the bastard who smashed the headlights of his car into pieces with a stone
"Don't mention the past anymore. From today on, Zechen, you should transfer all your energy to Wen Liang. I want to know everything he does in Qingzhou, including who he meets and what he does every day, even how many meals he eats!"
Mu Zechen felt bitter in his heart. Things are different now. Without Qi Shu, Minghua has been struggling in Qingzhou. In addition, he had been defeated several times in battles with Wen Liang, and his reputation has been greatly reduced. Those who used to have close contacts with him either waited and watched, helping without putting in any effort, or simply turned their doors away and pretended to be strangers. Not to mention finding out Wen Liang's background, even his daily affairs would be extremely difficult to find out.
"Are you having trouble?"
Mu Zechen suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, don't worry, I will definitely get this done!"
Gu Shitong nodded with satisfaction. Over the years, Mu Zechen rarely let him down. He turned to Gu Wenzhou and said, "Wenzhou, your Songlan Garment City has already established a firm foothold in Qingzhou. Tell your subordinates to be more careful and see if there is a chance to contact Wen Liang's men. Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. You guys can discuss it together and come up with a solution."
After finishing speaking, Gu Shitong stood up and walked outside. Gu Wenzhou and Mu Zechen looked at each other but neither of them dared to ask where Gu Shitong was going alone.
When they got downstairs, a Lincoln courtesy car drove up. After Gu Shitong got in the car, he smiled coldly and said, "Let's go to Dandelion!" (To be continued)
