The two of them had made up their minds and were in a good mood. They did not find it difficult to swallow the food that looked and tasted terrible. Instead, they felt a warm and happy feeling flowing through their chests and abdomens. The meal was eaten very slowly and was not finished until after nine o'clock. Zuo Yuxi had just put down his chopsticks, stretched his hands and stretched his waist, yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I have to go to sleep." Without waiting for Wen Liang to react, he ran into the bedroom and slammed the door.
Wen Liang looked at the mess on the table and was speechless. Could it be that every woman is born to play this trick? Even such a strong Zuo Yuxi can learn by herself. She obviously didn't want to wash the dishes, but she found a random excuse and ran away blatantly. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and started to clean up the mess. When the washing was finished, the kitchen was also brand new. Wen Liang washed his hands and walked out. Zuo Yuxi was sitting on the sofa watching TV, without any embarrassment.
Wen Liang walked directly to the entrance and said as he changed his shoes: "Director Zuo, I have to go now. Please stay!"
Zuo Yuxi was pretending to be calm, but when she heard this, she stood up abruptly, the remote control in her hand fell on the sofa, and she said in surprise: "Leaving at this time? Well, are you angry?"
Wen Liang just wanted to laugh out loud. Who would have thought that Zuo Yuxi would be such a timid and anxious little girl? But she had a calm expression on her face and said, "How dare I? I am young and my words are not taken seriously. Naturally, I will do whatever the director arranges for me to do."
Zuo Yuxi knew that he was playing a joke. She took two steps forward and knelt on the sofa, pressing her hands lightly on the backrest. The loose pajamas and pajamas could not hide her exquisite and seductive curves. Her long neck and slender waist outlined a plump roundness along her waist and hips. She chuckled and said, "You've worked so hard, how about giving me a reward? For example, when you're done?"
Seeing her mischievous eyes, Wen Liang suddenly realized and said, "Okay, you really know what the next sentence is. You actually tricked me just now. Sister Yuxi, please don't play tricks on me like this, okay?"
Zuo Yuxi laughed and fell on the sofa, panting and said, "Who made you so shameless? You are so young and you only know how to talk nonsense all day long, haha."
Uncle Wen was so angry at her that he rolled his eyes and suddenly said in a very obscene tone, "Isn't this pure slander? Who said I'm small? The big parts are not small at all..."
"Ah? I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
Wen Liang dodged the pillow thrown at him and said seriously, "I really should go. It's too late to go home."
Zuo Yuxi was stunned by his expression, but she couldn't throw away the slippers in her hand. She said unhappily, "Hurry up and leave. Don't make me upset." After a pause, she added, "Then I'll go see Liu Tianlai tomorrow and ask him to prepare?"
Wen Liang stopped pulling the door, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's do this. Strike while the iron is hot. It's late anyway, so I'll just go home later. Call him now and ask where he is. I'll go over to visit him. He helped us so much last time, but I didn't even have a chance to say thank you."
"What is there to thank him for? If he wants to get what he wants, he will naturally do his best to do it." Zuo Yuxi took out his phone, looking quite disapproving.
This is the difference between her and Wen Liang. Zuo Yuxi was born into a noble family. Because of her father, she was used to the careful flattery of the people below her. She never regarded these people as partners. At most, they were just mutual needs under the interest group. There is nothing wrong with this. Liu Tianlai was willing to join the group because Zuo Yuxi or Zuo Jing could give him what he wanted. But Wen Liang was different. He had no foundation and was not qualified to compete with anyone. Especially when Xu Fuyan had not established himself and Wen Huaiming had not yet taken office, people like Liu Tianlai should be won over if possible.
"Um, Director Liu? It's like this, there's something... Yes, Wen Liang will talk to you, he's here with me. Yes, his meaning is what I mean... Well, what are you talking about, I believe in your ability, just do your best in this matter..."
After hanging up the phone, Zuo Yuxi tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly gave Wen Liang a blank look.
Wen Liang was confused by this: "What happened? I was standing there without moving. I didn't even scratch my itchy butt."
"Stop pretending! What are you talking about personally visiting and saying thank you? Did you expect that once I make this call, he will immediately ask to come pick you up?"
Come to think of it, Liu Tianlai is such a knowledgeable person, and Zuo Yuxi called personally, so naturally he would run over to pick him up. Wen Liang sighed. Although he had tried very hard to control the minds of these people, he was still exhausted by the ubiquitous rules in the officialdom.
Wen Liang went downstairs and waved to the balcony on the second floor. He knew that Zuo Yuxi must be silently watching him leave from behind the curtain. When he passed the gate, he glanced at the guardhouse and saw a tall security guard holding a fat braised pig's foot and gnawing on it, with greasy smell on the corners of his mouth.
The night in Qingzhou was gloomy in the silence, and the cold night wind made the few pedestrians who occasionally passed by hurried. After more than ten minutes, a silver-white Jetta A2 stopped in front of Wen Liang. Liu Tianlai rubbed his hands and laughed as soon as he got out of the car: "It's damn cold. I've been waiting for a long time. This old broken car just can't run. I'm sorry."
Jetta, Fukang, and Santana, as the "old three" of the 1990s, although they cannot be compared with those famous cars, they are definitely not broken in China at that time. Wen Liang put his hands in his pockets, stood there quietly, did not respond to his words, and smiled: "Director Liu, let's find a place to talk?"
Sitting in a private room on the second floor of a club, the pretty waitress served two cups of tea and then left respectfully. Wen Liang looked around and found that the place looked quite tasteful and well decorated. It was considered first-class in Qingzhou at this time of year, but due to limited vision and limitations, it lacked a sense of grandeur. Seeing Wen Liang's attention, Liu Tianlai introduced: "This Great World Club has just opened not long ago. Young Master Wen has not been here yet, right? It's very quiet here, with few people coming in and out. Even if you don't talk about business, it's nice to come here to relax."
Wen Liang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Director Liu, you know my background. You are trying to scare me by saying less or more. You can call me Wen Liang or Xiao Liang. Zhihe and I are good friends, so please don't be polite."
Liu Tianlai chuckled and said nothing more.
Wen Liang really didn't know that Qingzhou already had a leisure club of this scale in 1995. It is a six-story building with a business area of more than 4,000 square meters. The decoration and design highlight the style. It provides a full range of services including catering, entertainment, leisure, and fitness. From what he saw since entering, he could tell that there is a very good management system and professional quality here.
The owner of this store seems to be very extraordinary!
You should know that the earliest "Royal Club" in Beijing was only established in 1990. It was invested by foreign countries and introduced the operation and management model of foreign high-end clubs, and then it gradually developed. It was not until 1994 that membership clubs appeared in Beijing, such as Chang'an Club and Jingcheng Club. The clubs are luxurious and high-end, with all kinds of leisure and entertainment. The service objects began to be mainly for the rich and officials, as well as some other people of status, and gradually played a very important role in the upper-class social circle.
At that time, Qingzhou was not as prosperous as it would be in later times, and people's acceptance of new things lagged far behind the southern coastal areas, not to mention cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Wen Liang was quite surprised that Qingzhou, where karaoke was just becoming popular, had such a seemingly avant-garde business club.
However, there was no surprise on his face, and his every move was like someone who often attended such occasions. In fact, it was not surprising. Even though he had not seen any top-level luxurious private clubs in his later life, he had been to many clubs with higher standards than this Great World. In terms of the variety, complex rules, and complete entertainment facilities, there was no comparison at all.
Liu Tianlai had been secretly observing Wen Liang. Since they met that night, Wen Liang had left a shocking impression on him. Afterwards, he secretly explored Wen Liang's background, but became even more confused. He couldn't figure out why Zuo Yuxi would listen to him. No matter how you look at it, Wen Liang shouldn't have anything to do with Zuo Yuxi. Especially with Liu Tianlai's eyesight, he could naturally see that Wen Liang seemed to be in a dominant position between the two.
This is incredible!
Seeing Wen Liang's calm and composed expression, not affected by the luxury and layout of the place at all, and knowing some small functions that he himself did not understand, Liu Tianlai could not help but feel a chill in his heart, and he was even more puzzled about Wen Liang, and his attitude became more cautious. Although he was rude in his speech and behavior, he was very thoughtful, and there was no one else in the public security system who could compare with him. Otherwise, he would not have climbed from an ordinary policeman step by step to his current position.
What he relies on are nothing more than three things: boldness, carefulness, and ruthlessness!
"Mr. Wen, what do you want to talk to me about? Director Zuo probably mentioned something. Who do you want to deal with?"
Before Wen Liang could even think about his name, the door of the private room suddenly opened without even a knock. Liu Tianlai's face suddenly changed, and he turned around with a gloomy face. When he saw who was coming, he immediately put on a smiling face.
Does everyone in the world have countless faces
"I just came back from outside. I knew Brother Liu was here, so I came over to say hello."
The man who came in was not very tall, about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a jet-black Zhongshan suit with a stand-up collar. A very thin scar could be vaguely seen on his chin, extending down along his neck, with the end hidden in his collar, so you couldn't see how long it was. But just by looking at this position, you could tell that this man might have experienced a life-and-death crisis.
His hair was shaved very short, his bronze complexion showed his toughness, his arms were very long, almost reaching his knees. His narrow eyes were raised to his temples, narrowed into a long slit, and his face was full of determination and calmness.
This is a person that you will remember after just one look! And it is the kind that you must remember!
Hearing his words, Liu Tianlai stood up and said with a smile: "Boss An, you are too polite. I came here with a friend for tea, but I didn't expect to alarm you."
Boss An? Is there such a person in Qingzhou
