Hu Xiaoying came with two people, and she also brought a man over. The man looked about the same age as Liang Jian, with a pair of glasses, and he looked quite sven.

Hu Xiaoying introduced that he is also one of the leaders of the global project.

When he sat down, Cai Gen arranged for Liang Jian to sit next to Hu Xiaoying. And Hu Xiaoying brought the man, and he was supposed to sit back in two more positions, but Hu Xiaoying opened his mouth and asked him to sit next to her. So, on Hu Xiaoying's left is Liang Jian, and on the right is the man.

When he sat down, Liang Jian was about to pull a chair for Hu Xiaoying, but was preempted by the man. Liang Jian subconsciously glanced at the man more, but unexpectedly, the man also looked at him and smiled at him.

As soon as I sat down, I served the wine. Tian Wang and a comrade from another office came in to serve and poured wine. When he walked up to Liang Jian, Qu Wei suddenly called out to Tian Wang: "Liang Jian should come to pour wine for Director Hu." As he spoke, he also asked Liang Jian: "Liang Jian, did you say that?"

Qu Wei said so, and Liang Jian had no choice but to stand up and take the wine bottle in Tian Wang's hand. When he was about to pour wine for Hu Xiaoying, the male comrade on the other side suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the small pot in front of Hu Xiaoying, and said, "Her stomach is not very good, so she won't drink the wine." ”

Liang Jian looked at the gay man in surprise, the expression on his face didn't seem to be just out of gay men's care for lesbians, but there was really a trace of concern there. Liang Jian saw this trace of concern, and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Before he could recover his senses, Hu Xiaoying stretched out his hand and gently brushed the male comrade's hand away, then picked up the small pot and turned to Liang Jian, looked up at Liang Jian and said with a smile: "Director Liang and I are old acquaintances, he pours wine, I just can't drink it anymore!"

Hu Xiaoying's words made Liang Jian's heart even more uncomfortable. He glanced at Hu Xiaoying, didn't answer, poured a little half into the pot and then stopped, and said, "Since the stomach is not very good, let's drink less, the body comes first." ”

Hu Xiaoying put down the pot, and after Liang Jian poured it for himself, he turned around and returned the bottle to Tian Wang.

When Tian Wang poured wine for the male comrade, Qu Wei said over there: "Since Director Hu can't drink it, then Director Yu should drink more." Director Yu shouldn't be uncomfortable, right?"

"Nope. It's just that the amount of alcohol is not very good. Director Yu replied.

Qu Wei took over with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the amount of alcohol is not good, drinking mainly depends on guts!" As he spoke, he pulled the words to Liang Jian's side: "Our Director Liang's alcohol consumption is also average, but his courage is the biggest one we have here." ”

Qu Wei's words raised Liang Jian to a high place. Liang Jian didn't plan to drink more, although he also knew in his heart that it was inevitable to drink less today, but as soon as Qu Wei said this, it was different.

Liang Jian took Qu Wei's words with a wry smile and said, "Secretary General Qu, as soon as you say this, it seems that I can only be helped out by you today!"

Liang Jian's demeanor was funny, and Mayor Cai, the two deputy mayors and Guobin all laughed. Cai Gen also said: "Don't listen to Qu Wei's nonsense, today we are just eating, drinking, chatting, and everyone has fun!"

"The mayor said, everyone should have fun! If anyone doesn't have fun later, then they won't give Mayor Cai face!" Qu Wei joked. Cai Gen glanced at Qu Wei and said, "Then don't run away later!"

Qu Wei immediately coaxed, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, you don't know how much I drink." ”

"Then what are you fooling about!" Cai Gen laughed.

Qu Wei smiled and said, "Isn't this trying to behave in front of Director Hu!"

The others laughed again.

After a few more joking words, the dinner party officially began. Hu Xiaoying is the protagonist of today's meal, and she is a woman, so she will inevitably become the target of everyone.

Liang Jian didn't move at first, just quietly watched the rest of the people come to drink with Hu Xiaoying. After Hu Xiaoying drank two small glasses in a row, the director on the other side began to stand up to help Hu Xiaoying block the wine.

The director seemed to have a good amount of alcohol, and after drinking five or six glasses in a row, his face did not change and he was very calm.

Soon, the round was over. Liang Jian didn't move, he lowered his head and stared at the cup in front of him, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

His woman is now being protected by other men, even if there is nothing between them, this feeling is like watching his former woman marry another man in front of him. What's more, Liang Jian still has Hu Xiaoying in his heart.

"Liang Jian, why don't you have a drink with Director Hu?" This time, it was Deputy Mayor Chu Linchu who spoke. Liang Jian retracted his mixed thoughts and said with a smile: "It's not like there has never been a chance!"

"Now you have a chance! Supposedly, you're friends, and you should have two more drinks. Chu Lin said.

Liang Jian smiled and didn't answer, then poured himself wine, and was about to talk to Hu Xiaoying, but unexpectedly, Director Yu on the other side had already picked up his wine glass.

As soon as Liang Jian saw him fighting, he immediately felt uncomfortable. He didn't care about Hu Xiaoying's stomach discomfort before, so he looked down at Hu Xiaoying and said, "Sister Hu, we haven't seen each other for a year, right?"

Hu Xiaoying looked at him with some confusion, not understanding what he meant by mentioning this at this time.

Liang Jian continued: "With the friendship between the two of us, this glass of wine is not suitable for Director Yu, right?"

Hu Xiaoying was stunned, and her gaze staring at Liang Jian suddenly became complicated. Liang Jian has a lot of jealousy in his heart at the moment, so he can't think about what Hu Xiaoying will think. He just doesn't like to see Director Yu, who is about the same age as him, protecting Hu Xiaoying like this, just like a man protecting his woman.

Hu Xiaoying didn't say much, turned around and took the cup from the director's hand. The director was still a little reluctant, frowning and whispering, "I'd better come." ”

Hu Xiaoying glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I really should drink this glass of wine." After speaking, she stood up with the cup, looked at Liang Jian, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine, in fact, I should respect you." Thank you!" she said here and paused, her eyes were on Liang Jian's face, and after a moment of nostalgia, she continued: "Thank you for your ...... to me before." Help!"

"I'll do it first for respect!" Hu Xiaoying raised his head and drank it all after speaking. But Liang Jian was stunned, this glass of wine seemed to be her determination, and suddenly, his chest seemed to be hammered by a hammer, which was very painful.

"Liang Jian, Director Hu's wine has been drunk, why don't you drink it. Qu Wei reminded him. Liang Jian came back to his senses, raised his head and drank the wine, the liquor entered his throat, not only spicy, but also very bitter.

Because Hu Xiaoying always had a cold attitude here, the dinner ended early after just over an hour. Liang Jian was not drunk, Hu Xiaoying was not drunk, and the director was not drunk.

When they left, Cai Gen and they didn't send it to the door of the box, and asked Liang Jian to send it out instead of them.

Liang Jian thought about the glass of wine before and the two words Hu Xiaoying said, and felt uncomfortable. Halfway through, he couldn't help it, so he said to the director: "Director Yu, I want to say a few words to Director Hu, why don't you go first?"

Director Yu frowned slightly, he didn't speak, and looked at Hu Xiaoying.

"It's okay, then you can go back first. Hu Xiaoying said.

Director Yu glanced at Liang Jian, and then said, "Okay, then I'll call later." ”

This location of the director went away uncomfortably. When Liang Jian and Hu Xiaoying were left, Hu Xiaoying asked him, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Let's go to the tea room on the second floor and sit down and talk. Liang Jian said.

Hu Xiaoying did not object.

went downstairs, found a private room, brewed tea, closed the door, and left the two of them, Liang Jian unloaded the pretense of calm on his face. He hesitated, but finally couldn't help but want to test it: "The director seems to care about you. ”

Hu Xiaoying glanced at him, with a hint of a smile, and replied: "He is single, and I am also single." Caring about the heart is also a normal and reasonable thing. ”

Liang Jian didn't know if she was a heart or a heart......

He looked at her quietly, not knowing whether he should be angry or sad. The feeling in my heart is painful, uncomfortable, and more at a loss that I don't know where to go.

For so many years, even if the two were not together, he never doubted Hu Xiaoying's feelings for him, just like his feelings for Hu Xiaoying, even if he paid more and more attention to Xiang Jin, Hu Xiaoying still had a place in his heart. However, the belief he had always held had to collapse in the face of her answer.

What's more, when we met last night, she was still so affectionate, why, why, today again!

Liang Jian couldn't accept it, but after all, he held back, tried to squeeze out an ugly and stiff smile, and said, "He seems to care about you." ”

"Well, he's good, it's just a bit of a shaft. Hu Xiaoying said, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. This kind of smile fell in Liang Jian's eyes, which was particularly dazzling.

Liang Jian lowered his head, not wanting to look at it.

There was silence in the room. After a while, Hu Xiaoying's phone suddenly rang. She took one look and walked out. As soon as she left, Liang Jian collapsed in the chair as if he had lost his strength.

He suddenly felt ridiculous. Her appearance yesterday stirred a thousand waves in his heart, and he couldn't sleep all night, but she was just a show.

He was even jealous, and asked her to come here, wanting to ask something, and all he wanted was the fact that she still had feelings for him, which was now impossible.

At the moment, he looks like a clown.

Liang Jian couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Hu Xiaoying, who was about to come in. Hu Xiaoying looked up at him in surprise and asked, "Where are you going?"

Liang Jian tried to make his expression look more natural, and said, "I'm in a bit of a hurry to deal with it, I have to go first, I'm sorry." ”

Hu Xiaoying glanced at him suspiciously and didn't stop him. Liang Jian left there in embarrassment as if he was fleeing.
