In order to avoid being seen, Gao Zhan left the club first, and Wen Liang stayed for another hour. Anyway, he had booked a room for the whole day, so no one would disturb him even if he stayed until the evening. The news he got from Gao Zhan was very important. He just needed some time to be alone and think about the relationship between Lei Gu Zhuozhuang and others, trying to find an opportunity to exploit in order to solve the dilemma he was about to face.
An hour later, Wen Liang dressed properly and pushed the door open. He had just walked a few steps along the long corridor when the door of a private room several doors away suddenly opened. The man's shouting and the woman's begging for mercy mixed together. Then there was a bang, and a woman in a technician's cheongsam fell out sideways and landed right at Wen Liang's feet. Her face was red and swollen, her hair was messy, and there was a black stain of unknown substance on her exposed thighs. She covered her lower abdomen with her hands, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She begged in a hoarse voice: "Secretary Min, I didn't mean it... Please forgive me..."
A man with a bath towel tied around his waist and bare feet came out. He looked to be in his thirties, or forty at most. He wore gold-rimmed titanium glasses on his nose. He looked decent and gentle. If you met him outside, you would definitely think he was a professor from a university. But his next behavior was shocking. He ignored the female technician's pleas, grabbed her hair, and dragged her into the room.
The female technician was so frightened that she unconsciously grabbed at the air with her hands and happened to touch Wen Liang's ankle. She didn't care who was next to her and hugged her tightly, struggling, "No, don't..."
The man called Secretary Min pulled a few times without any success and immediately became angry. Without even looking at Wen Liang, he did not even bother to notice the presence of outsiders and kicked the female technician in the abdomen again.
The female technician let out a muffled groan, and her petite body suddenly curled up into a ball. The pain coming from deep inside her body made her entire face begin to distort, but the fear from her heart was even greater than the pain in her body, as if once she entered this door, unbearable torture would be waiting for her.
"Calm down. Why bother with the waiter?"
Secretary Min only felt a hand suddenly appear on his wrist, and then his whole arm suddenly went numb. A strong force surged up, and he involuntarily stepped back two steps. Then he raised his head and looked at Wen Liang with a puzzled look in his eyes. He did not get annoyed immediately. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"A passer-by!"
Wen Liang smiled and nodded as a greeting, then bent down to help the female technician up and asked, "Can you walk? Come down quickly, don't make Secretary Min angry here!"
The female technician looked at Secretary Min timidly, then lowered her head and stood against the wall, not daring to move.
"Do you know me?" Secretary Min looked at Wen Liang intently and asked again, "Who are you?"
"Secretary Min is well-known in Guanshan. If you tell others about it, everyone knows him. As for me, I am just a nobody. You won't have any impression of me even if you hear about me." Wen Liang saw that the female technician didn't dare to leave, so he couldn't just walk away. He had to pretend to be polite and said, "Secretary Min came here to have fun, not to be angry. If she does something wrong, just criticize her. There's no need to make a big fuss. It's not good for your health if she gets angry..."
Secretary Min rubbed his wrist that Wen Liang had just pinched. He was completely different from his angry temper. He actually grinned and said, "Why, do you want to stand up for her?"
"I dare not. How can I be so prominent as to meddle in Secretary Min's affairs? It's just that this elder sister just massaged my feet. It's fate. How about giving me some face?"
"Face?" Secretary Min's smile gradually turned cold, and a violent look flashed in his eyes behind the glasses. He said, "Face is earned by yourself, not given by others. If you don't have this face, even if I give it to you, can you afford it?"
"That's true!" Wen Liang clapped his hands and said calmly, "I always thought that officials were like those on TV, speaking in official language. Secretary Min is a straightforward person. Okay, I'll make a phone call and see if I can save your face!"
His visit to Gao Zhan was a secret one, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business or cause unnecessary trouble, but sometimes people cannot just look after the consequences when living in this world. The female technician was certainly not a good person, and she had nothing to do with him, but she just fell in front of him, and she would obviously face a very cruel punishment. No matter how ruthless he was, he couldn't just ignore her and leave.
Wen Liang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Secretary Min and took out his cell phone to call Ji Zheng. He had a close relationship with He Xihua and asked He to say something. Secretary Min, who didn't know where he came from, should learn what it meant to keep a low profile.
"Brother Min, where is Old Min?"
Another man in a bathrobe walked out of the room. Seeing the scene in front of him, he complained, "What's going on? I just went in to take a bath, and you were out here throwing a tantrum..." He turned around and saw Wen Liang, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Wen Liang also saw the face of the person who came, and secretly felt that the world was really small. However, he couldn't hide now, so he smiled and said, "It's you, luckily, nice to meet you!"
The person who came out was Gao Tianfang, whom Wen Liang met on the way back to Qingzhou from Yishan in the heavy snow with Xu Yao and other two girls at the end of last year. This person was Chen Zongzhi's secretary, and wanted to pursue Zhuo Mingjing to climb up the social ladder. In Wen Liang's words, he was a very "motivated" person!
Gao Tianfang extended his hand, keeping a very humble attitude, and said with a smile: "Boss Wen, we are really destined to be together."
Wen Liang shook hands with Gao Tianfang and did not ask him how he knew his name. As Chen Zongzhi's secretary and having had such a serious conflict with Chen Yurui, it would be strange if he didn't know his name.
"You haven't asked yet?"
Gao Tianfang said: "My last name is Gao, Gao Tianfang!"
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Where is Mr. Gao employed? I heard that Mayor Chen's chief secretary also has this name. You..."
Gao Tianfang said with a smile: "What's the big secret or not? I just do some work within my ability beside Mayor Chen..."
"So it really is Director Gao. I am so sorry, so sorry!"
Generally, the mayor's first secretary also serves as the director or deputy director of the secretariat of the municipal government office. Wen Liang calls him this, which sounds much better than calling him Secretary Gao.
"Tianfang, do you know him?"
Secretary Min looked at Gao Tianfang strangely, and Gao Tianfang explained: "I have met him once before, but I didn't know Mr. Wen's name at that time. Later, I heard people talking about him and found out that he was Mr. Wen from Qingzhou."
Secretary Min asked in confusion, "Qingzhou, which President Wen? Oh, who cares if he's President Wen or not, Tianfang, why are you being so polite to him! Come on, let him make the call. I was just waiting to see how this kid can act so high and mighty and who can come forward to take care of this business!"
Gao Tianfang really wanted to kick him. Min Chengye looked like a cultured person, but he was actually a big idiot. He climbed up to the position of deputy secretary of the Guanshan Sangqiu District Committee step by step by relying on the fact that his father-in-law was the deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress. He usually only paid attention to current affairs except for eating, drinking, gambling and smoking. He didn't even hear about the emergence of a great figure in Qingzhou. If it were someone else, even a small clerk in an office, as long as he was in the Guanshan pool, who wouldn't know about the conflict between Qingzhou's Premier Wen and Mayor Chen's daughter? Even if he didn't know the person, he should understand after hearing his hint.
But Min Chengye was just fine. He wanted to let others suffer the loss later, but he didn't know that if even Chen Zongzhi couldn't do it, what could he do
"Chengye, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gao Tianfang pulled him and pulled him behind him, then smiled at Wen Liang and said, "Don't be offended, Mr. Wen. He drank too much and spoke without restraint. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Logically speaking, the unpleasantness between him and Chen Yurui also made Chen Zongzhi lose face and brought disgrace to him in the Jiangdong officialdom. No matter how much Gao Tianfang disagreed with his boss, there was no need for him to be so cautious with him. Wen Liang remained expressionless and thought it would be better to get out of this situation as soon as possible. He said, "I should apologize to Secretary Min. I don't know what this waitress did to make Secretary Min so angry. Since we are all acquaintances, please give me some face and ask Secretary Min to show mercy and let this lady go."
"Okay, okay," Gao Tianfang glanced at the female technician, and after confirming that Wen Liang was not helping her because of her looks, he said amiably, "You can go down first. Secretary Min is a frequent visitor here, and you all know how he treats you. Don't take today's incident to heart. I'll tell your CEO Zhang that I'll give you a performance-based salary increase this month."
Min Chengye also realized that something was wrong, snorted, and said nothing more. The female technician obviously knew that Gao Tianfang and Min Chengye were on the same side, and also knew that his words worked. Thinking that not only was she not tortured by this pervert that the sisters were afraid of today, but she could also earn a little more money, her heart suddenly became very happy, and even the injuries on her body seemed to be less painful. She immediately left with many thanks.
Wen Liang cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't disturb you two. I'll go first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely invite Director Gao and Secretary Min to sit together and make friends with you all!"
"Of course, of course!"
Wen Liang immediately walked forward, walked a few steps away, then turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to trouble Director Gao. There was a misunderstanding between me and Miss Chen last time. I have been very upset since then, but I couldn't find a chance to apologize to Miss Chen. Since I met Director Gao today, please tell her."
Gao Tianfang laughed and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, President Wen, don't take it to heart."
After Wen Liang left, Min Chengye came back to his senses. With his mouth wide open, he asked, "Is he the one who slapped Mayor Chen in the face?"
Gao Tianfang nodded, stared at the direction where Wen Liang left, and suddenly said: "Chengye, find someone to find out why Wen Liang came here today..." (To be continued)
