Ouyang Lan was making tea in the office and reading the case materials, and suddenly received a call from her father Ouyang Cheng, who said that because of the special circumstances, the inspection of the leaders of the provincial department will be advanced, and the time has been set, just tomorrow, I hope she will be ready.

Ouyang Lan said indifferently: "I have something to prepare, just wait quietly for you to come." ”

Ouyang Cheng reminded: "Oh, in fact, you are the protagonist of tomorrow, not your director, of course you have to be prepared, don't embarrass me when the time comes." ”

Ouyang Lan was surprised, it turned out that he was the protagonist of tomorrow, remembering that during this time, Director Guo made a lot of fanfare about this matter, and almost became the focus of his work these days, in the end, this inspection had little to do with him, if he knew, he would be half angry.

"It's really fake, why haven't you heard any news at all?"

"Of course it's true, but we haven't notified your bureau yet, we deliberately decided to do so, so as not to see a false prosperity, haha. ”

Ouyang Lan's expression crossed a horizontal line, and they all said that the people in the provincial department were all old rivers and lakes, and they didn't have rich industry experience, so they couldn't sit in that position.

Ouyang Lan knew that he had become the protagonist of this inspection because he had captured Yu Junmin, and this incident had actually made Ouyang Lan a little angry, after all, it was not his own credit alone, Captain Yang, Liu Chen, and other team members had put in too much effort.

But at present, she has not found out the truth of the original flying knife murder case, in her heart, Yu Junmin's case is actually not over, she has a faint premonition, Yu Junmin and the flying knife murder case, how much to do with it.

She originally didn't advocate that the case of Yu Junmin be closed so quickly, but she wanted to use the successful conclusion of the Junmin case as a gift to welcome the leaders of the provincial department to come and inspect, and sometimes she really thought that personal will could transcend the rules.

Liu Chen got up early in the morning and made a loving breakfast for Li Rongfei, which surprised Li Rongfei, because Liu Chen hadn't made breakfast for a while, and of course he wouldn't complain about such a trivial matter.

Li Rongfei saw that there were two breakfasts on the table, but Liu Chen didn't eat them, and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"

Liu Chen found a box, and while packing the one on the table, he explained: "This is made for Xiaomei, the ingredients are not enough, I can only make two servings, just the two of you eat, I will go to the street to buy some to eat later." ”

Li Rongfei divided half of the breakfast in her bowl and gave it to Liu Chen: "These are for you, I can't eat so much." As he spoke, he sent half of the breakfast to Liu Chen's mouth.

Liu Chen knew that Li Rongfei was reluctant to go hungry, so he had to accept her kindness, and the two of them sprinkled a wave of dog food sweetly, although no one else saw it.

Li Rongfei also praised: "You are really good to your sister, Xiaomei has told me many times that I am lucky to have a brother like you." ”

Liu Chen smiled ashamedly: "Hehe, my brother should always be kind to my sister, and besides, she has suffered too much before, so I should be kind to her." ”

Generally speaking, girls are easy to be jealous, and they don't like their beloved men to feel sorry for other girls, even if they are sisters, but Li Rongfei has no jealousy at all, but appreciates Liu Chen's kindness and love for family affection.

After breakfast, Liu Chen drove Li Rongfei to school and came to the gate of Penghu Bay Community, where Xiaomei was already waiting for them, seeing her standing in the wind and rain with an umbrella shivering, he immediately parked the car in front of her and let her get in the car.

Li Rongfei took out the breakfast in the thermos bag in her hand and gave it to Xiaomei, "This is the breakfast made by your brother himself, can you taste it to your taste." ”

Xiaomei took the breakfast and said in surprise: "Thank you, brother!"

Liu Chen saw Xiaomei's happy appearance, and his heart was full of happiness, and he advised: "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Xiaomei ate it regardless of it, and praised it while eating: "It's so delicious." ”

"If it's delicious, let your brother make it every day in the future. Li Rongfei said with a smile.

Xiaomei shook her head: "No, no, hehe." The little face was as red as her red coat, and she looked very shy.

"It's not realistic to do it every day, but as long as Xiaomei wants to eat, I will definitely make it for you. Liu Chen looked at Xiaomei in the rearview mirror and promised.

After sending the two of them to Jiangxia Middle School, Liu Chen came to the breakfast shop on the side of the road to have breakfast, and sent a message to Hong Xiaoqing, he wanted to meet her today.

Hong Xiaoqing's text message was quickly replied, she knew the purpose of Liu Chen's contact with her, so she asked directly, "Where to meet?"

Liu Chen thought for a while and replied, "Just yesterday's hotel, I'll be waiting for you there in an hour." ”

Hong Xiaoqing readily agreed.

Liu Chen rushed to the hotel after breakfast, he came over so early, in fact, he also wanted to investigate there to see if there were any clues related to that mysterious person. The magician is no longer there, he is hired by the hotel temporarily, which basically excludes the possibility of collusion between the people in this hotel and the mysterious person.

After confirming that this place was safe, Liu Chen dared to appear openly. He came to the front desk, booked a private room, ordered some meals, a cup of tea, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, watched the people coming and going on the street downstairs, listened to the sound of the rain, and quietly waited for Hong Xiaoqing's arrival.

Because this floor-to-ceiling window is designed with one-way perspective glass, you can clearly see the outside from the inside, and you can't see the inside from the outside, so Liu Chen doesn't have to worry about people outside noticing him.

It was almost time to make the appointment, and Liu Chen saw a girl wearing sunglasses and fashionably dressed on the street, holding a pink umbrella walking towards this side, and the occasional appearance on the side of the umbrella made him feel a little fresh.

After a while, the box opened, and it was the girl Liu Chen saw just now who came in, and it turned out to be Hong Xiaoqing.

Liu Chen beckoned to her: "You are here, why didn't you drive today?"

Hong Xiaoqing glanced out the window and said with a smile: "You saw me here, right, there was something wrong with the car, I took it to repair, I took a taxi over, the taxi driver put me at the intersection in front of me and put it down, I got out of the car and found that I was angry." ”

Hong Xiaoqing looked gentle and dignified, and even lost his temper, Liu Chen was a little surprised, he suggested: "You can go and complain about him." ”

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, and it's not easy for people to drive taxis. "I didn't expect Hong Xiaoqing to complain, but she would think about the other party, she is really a knife-mouthed tofu heart, a kind girl.

"Hehe, you're quite kind. ”

"People all have difficulties, and a little mutual understanding can avoid a lot of unpleasantness. ”

Hong Xiaoqing is worthy of being a high-achieving student, studying abroad, and her personal quality cultivation is quite good, Liu Chen has a sense of awe for her in his heart.

I was hesitating about something before, but now Liu Chen has decided that cooperating with such a person will definitely achieve a win-win result, and kind people will at least not behave in the interest and forget their righteousness, and they will not stab them in the back.

Liu Chen took the lead in entering the topic, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, I want to know the general framework of cooperation between us and the points that can achieve a win-win situation. ”

On the way here, Hong Xiaoqing was always worried that Liu Chen would hesitate, and he also prepared a lot of opinions and rhetoric to persuade Liu Chen, but now it seems that he doesn't need it, and he can directly start discussing matters related to cooperation.

Hong Xiaoqing came prepared, she briefly glanced at the information in her hand, and said eloquently: "Yes, I have also studied the business scope and development direction of your stars before, I think that our Hong family can play the role of your supply chain terminal, you provide high-quality sand and gravel, and we are responsible for the construction of this aspect, we have rich technical experience in this regard." In addition, we know the market environment of Jiangxia very well, if we cooperate, you will not expand blindly as before, have a clear direction, familiar with the market environment, for you, there are only benefits and no harm. ”

Liu Chen nodded frequently, and also simply and straightforwardly confided the question in his heart: "Since you are so powerful, why do you want to cooperate with us?"

Hong Xiaoqing obviously did his homework attentively, thought deeply about the cooperation between the two sides, and replied confidently and calmly: "Two points, first, because there is no sand and gravel of high quality as your stars among our suppliers. Second, in terms of market expansion, we do not have enough security, you also know, this industry, there are too many unspoken rules, if we can't ensure safety, we will inevitably be replaced by those people, and you Xingchen, in the competition with Hongyu and other industry bosses, have established enough fame and prestige, so we will not encounter such problems when we cooperate with you. ”

Hong Xiaoqing made no secret of his views on Xingchen, bluntly said that Xingchen's means of market expansion, and also expressed his desire for this security.

In the face of Hong Xiaoqing's frank but profound insights, Liu Chen immediately understood that Hong wanted Xingchen to provide another level of protection in the process of cooperation. However, Liu Chen doesn't mind this request, because in this industry, he will encounter such things, and many times he can't stay out of it, as long as he can bring profits to his company, in business, other things can be put aside first.

Liu Chen spread his hands and said with a relaxed expression: "Hearing you say this, it seems that we have to cooperate with you, haha." ”

Hong Xiaoqing laughed, and then said: "In business, only common interests will promote cooperation between us, of course, I will not be reluctant, and you don't need to sell my face, you can continue to think about it, agree or refuse, it will not affect the relationship between us, but I think that if you agree with what I just said, I believe you will agree." ”

Liu Chen snapped his fingers and said, "OK, being with confident people always brings good luck, and I look forward to this cooperation." ”
