In the afternoon, it rained for a while. The winter rain is very cold, and after the rain, the air in the entire Taihe City is filled with a bitter chill, and the wind blows on the body, making people shiver.

Liang Jian walked in the garden downstairs of the hotel, letting the cold wind sober himself up. Xiao Wu followed behind, and was driven twice by Liang Jian, but he didn't leave.

This weekend, Xiang Jin was still not in Beijing, and this time Nishang also went with him, and Liang Jian still didn't know where they were. can only wait in Taihe.

After a while, the sky began to clear.

Liang Jian looked up, and in the distance, there was a gap in the middle of a dark cloud, and a touch of gold was exposed.

Liang Jian closed his eyes in the faint sunlight, but unfortunately, the sunlight did not have the slightest warmth, and it was as cold as the wind.

Suddenly, Shen Lianqing ran out of the hotel, ran to Liang Jianjian with his mobile phone, and said a little breathlessly: "Secretary, the phone number of Chairman Hua of Brilliance Group." ”

Liang Jian took it and greeted him with a polite smile.

Hua Chen asked him, "Secretary Liang, are you free in the evening?"

Liang Jian looked at the sun that didn't have the slightest warmth, and said, "At this time, I'm afraid it's too late to rush to Jinzhong, right?"

Hua Chen smiled: "No, I'm already in Taihe." How's that, do you want to see your face?"

Liang Jian was surprised, but he was not slow to react, and immediately said: "This is my honor." ”

"Okay, then let Yu Yuan pick you up at half past four. Brilliance said.

"Okay. We'll see you later. ”

Hanging up the phone, Liang Jian thought for a while, and said to Shen Lianqing: "You go to the city government and get the contract of Brilliance Group in my office drawer." ”

Shen Lianqing went immediately.

At half past four, Guang Yuyuan's car stopped at the door of the Taihe Hotel. Liang Jian didn't take Xiao Wu, only took Shen Lianqing with him. The place arranged by Hua Chen is very secret, in a mountain, what is the specific location, Hua Chen didn't say, Guang Yuyuan didn't say, and Liang Jian didn't ask. I only know that I drove all the way to the mountains along a river that was quite wide but had no stream. The more he went inside, the colder the air became, and gradually, Liang Jian saw that the river was already frozen, snow-white in color, and very thick.

Maybe it's the ice in the river, or maybe it's the sparse trees on the mountains on both sides of the road, and suddenly, Liang Jian thinks of a person, Song Meiting.

Liang Jian looked at the somewhat familiar scenery outside the window again, frowned, and then turned his head and asked Guang Yuyuan, who was sitting next to him, "What's the name of the place we're going to?"

Guang Yuyuan was thinking about things, and when he heard Liang Jian's voice, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said, "It's a mountain villa, and the name doesn't seem to have been decided." ”

Hearing Guang Yuyuan say this, and then looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Liang Jian has already determined in his heart that the place he is going to must be Song Meiting's villa.

It's just that between Song Meiting and Brilliance, it seems that the relationship should be incompatible, but why is Brilliance set up there at the dinner today.

Liang Jian had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask too much. With the relationship between Guang Yuyuan and Hua Chen, Liang Jian may not be able to make him spit out the truth. Instead of struggling to tell if what he said was true or false, it was better to go back and see for yourself.

After another ten minutes or so, Liang Jian saw the humble gate without any decoration again. This time, as soon as the car arrived at the door, the gate opened. Out of the porter was no longer the old man with greasy hair in Sheila, but a young man in a security uniform.

Liang Jian glanced at it and was a little surprised.

Inside, there hasn't been much change, it's in a half-finished state, the only difference is that there are more large construction tools in the open space in front of the hotel.

Liang Jian glanced at it, but he didn't see any workers, either they hadn't started yet, or they had been temporarily arranged to other places.

As soon as the car stopped, Hua Chen walked out of the hotel with his secretary, but he stood in front of the steps at the door of the hotel and did not come down.

Liang Jian got out of the car, walked over and shook his hand. The three of them exchanged a few polite greetings and walked to the hotel. As he walked, Liang Jian thought about one thing in his heart, is this villa Brilliance or Song Meiting's? Or is there a new change in the relationship between Song Meiting and Brilliance? What about Luo Guanzhong?

Regarding the relationship between the three of them, although no one has mentioned it, it is not difficult to guess such a little thing about the love of men and women. Of course, people like them can't be without interests in love.

Liang Jian thought as he followed Hua Chen. As I walked, I walked out of the back door of the hotel. Liang Jian was a little surprised, but he didn't ask. Brilliance led him through a garden at the back of the hotel that was not yet fully formed, and then around a small hillside, which was full of trees, and the bare branches of the bare branches in the darkening sky were a bit like little monsters with teeth and claws towering over the entire hillside.

Skirting the hillside, there is the villa. Liang Jian had seen it from afar, but this time when he looked closer, he found that this villa complex was bigger than he thought. The valley is long and narrow, and the villas follow the valley all the way in, and in this dim sky, it seems that there is no end in sight. Liang Jian sighed casually: "I didn't expect there to be such a big space behind this." There are a lot of villas here, right?"

Hua Chen smiled and said, "It's a lot, but no matter how much it is, it's useless." ”

Liang Jian glanced at him and asked, "How can it be useless." I think these villas are good, the environment here is also quiet, there are mountains and rivers, and trees, the price should not be low. ”

Hua Chen smiled and didn't answer. Liang Jian didn't ask again.

Hua Chen took Liang Jian into the third villa on the left. There are two red lanterns hanging at the door of the villa, and the dark red light is sprinkled down, in this quiet valley where there is only the sound of the wind, even if there are many people around, there is still a creepy and eerie feeling. Liang Jian couldn't help but think of those domestic costume horror movies, those haunted mansions always like to light up two red lanterns at night. In the darkness, the hazy red light is like two blood-red copper bell eyes, looking at this place at this moment, it really feels like exploring the ancient house.

However, as soon as the door of the villa opened, the bright incandescent light inside spilled out, and this feeling suddenly disappeared. When Liang Jian entered the door, he asked Hua Chen: "Why are there two red lanterns hanging at this door?"

Hua Chen looked back and said with a smile: "Doesn't it look quite infiltrating?"

Liang Jian nodded: "It's a little." ”

"I think so too. After Hua Chen finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and instructed the secretary who followed behind: "Tomorrow, let people remove all the red lanterns here and use energy-saving lamps." ”

After the secretary wrote it down, Hua Chen led Liang Jian to the villa again. As soon as he walked through the hallway and into the living room, Liang Jian smelled the fragrance.

"It smells so good. Liang Jian praised.

Hua Chen smiled mysteriously: "Guess who did it?"

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "How can I guess this." ”

Hua Chen smiled mysteriously at Liang Jian again, and at this moment, a voice came from the restaurant: "The food is ready, hurry up and come over to eat." Otherwise, it will be cold later. ”

Walking over and taking a look, Liang Jian was shocked.

In the restaurant, Xu Jinghua was already sitting, next to the main seat. In the kitchen next to it, a well-maintained middle-aged woman was busy with an apron.

Hearing the footsteps, she turned around, looked this way, saw Liang Jian, smiled, and said, "Sit down, there is still a soup, I'll put it up." ”

"This is my wife. Xu Jinghua, who was already sitting in his seat, stood up and introduced Liang Jian. Hua Chen glanced at the dishes on the table and smiled at Xu Jinghua: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is still so good. ”

Xu Jinghua glared at him and said, "You're embarrassed to bring her here to be your cook." ”

"It's not just a few of us, it's inconvenient to call an outsider. Hua Chen smiled cheekily.

Xu Jinghua glared at him.

Liang Jian looked at their expressions, listened to them talking, and felt that the feeling between Hua Chen and Xu Jinghua should be very good. In terms of identity, both of them are taller than Liang Jian. Liang Jian is not good at interjecting.

After the two finished speaking, Xu Jinghua looked at Liang Jian and said, "Sit down, what are you doing standing." ”

Liang Jian sat down.

Xu Jinghua's appearance was something Liang Jian did not expect. Hua Chen invited Xu Jinghua here, and specially invited Xu Jinghua's wife to cook this meal, if Liang Jian couldn't feel the weight, then the secretary of the municipal party committee would be in vain. This is both a date and a mallet.

Liang Jian glanced at Hua Chen and thought, what a good means!

As Xu Jinghua's wife put the last soup on the table, the meal began. In the beginning, it was as if it was commonplace, and everyone tacitly agreed that no one would talk about anything other than the rest. Even if Hua Chen and Xu Jinghua don't say it, Liang Jian also has to say it, because here, apart from their respective secretaries, he is the most 'small' one.

Just when Liang Jian was thinking about how to start this, he didn't expect Xu Jinghua to open his mouth first.

"Xiao Liang, the position of your Municipal Coal Bureau has been decided. Xu Jinghua spoke quite blandly, without even glancing at Liang Jian, and was concentrating on peeling shrimp for his wife, as if what he said was just a casual sentence from the family routine they were chatting about just now.

Liang Jian was stunned, then looked at Xu Jinghua in surprise, endured the sudden nervousness in his heart, and waited for the second half of Xu Jinghua's sentence.

"Man, it's the one you told me about last time. Xu Jinghua's tone was flat, but Liang Jian's heart was pounding.

Liang Jian didn't have time to think about what kind of transaction or whose efforts were hidden behind this sudden big change, he was busy thanking Xu Jinghua.

Xu Jinghua waved his hand, nodded at Hua Chen, and said, "If you want to thank him, thank him." If it weren't for him, this position wouldn't have been your turn!"

Liang Jian was busy and was about to thank Hua Chen, but Hua Chen stopped him and said, "Thank me, I don't need to, Secretary Liang just needs to be willing to do me a favor." ”

Liang Jian knew it in his heart, and without waiting for Hua Chen to finish speaking, he asked Shen Lianqing to take out the contract, gently put it in front of Hua Chen, and said, "The contract is ready, Hua Dong has put it away." ”

Hua Chen glanced at the contract, smiled slightly, and said, "What Hua Dong is not Hua Dong, it's too outside." If you don't dislike it, call me Brother Hua, and I'll call you Xiaoliang with Minister Xu, how about it?"

Liang Jian glanced at Xu Jinghua without a trace. He lowered his head and smiled slightly as he peeled shrimp.

"Brother Hua, come, I'll toast you. Liang Jian raised his glass and touched Brilliance.
