2024 Mystery Friends (Chapter 96)

Li Rui said: "There is a coffee machine and a coffee bean. ”

Coffee machine and coffee beans? What the hell is this Li Rui? Liang Jian said with a smile: "Secretary General Li, you know, I only drink tea, and I haven't touched coffee much. So, I don't think I need it, you might as well take it back and give it to the people who need it, right? ”

Li Rui said: "Governor Liang, don't say that yet. Coffee, just like tea. You don't like tea all your life. But once you like it, I'm afraid you'll get addicted. I used to have a preconceived notion about coffee and didn't like it, but then I tried it and hey, I really liked it. I don't dare to recommend it to Governor Liang without trying it myself, I know you have taste. ”

At this time, Er Qiao had already made two cups of tea and came in, brought them to Li Rui and Liang Jian, and carefully put them down. The tight-fitting uniform she wore wrapped her waist and hips tightly, and when she bent over, it formed a graceful arc.

Liang Jian's eyes couldn't help but take a second look, and when he pulled his eyes back to look at Li Rui, he found that Li Rui couldn't help but stare at Er Qiao's figure in a slight daze. However, he quickly noticed Liang Jian's gaze and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Governor Liang, this coffee machine and coffee beans are really good for a good friend of mine and brought back from the island country." ”

Liang Jian asked unintentionally, "This friend of yours is a woman, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you this kind of thing!"

Li Rui had a very surprised expression: "Can you guess this? That friend of mine is a very tasteful woman, a Chinese, but she does business in Tokyo all the year round. Next time I have a chance, I will introduce you to her, her name is Hu Xiaolan. ”

"What?Hu Xiaolan?" Liang Jian couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had misheard. Hu Xiaoying, Hu Xiaolan, how can the names be so similar?

Li Rui saw that Liang Jian had questions, so he asked: "It's Hu Xiaolan, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Liang Jian shook his head vigorously as if he wanted to shake off a thought in his head: "No problem." He originally wanted to ask Li Rui, what does this Hu Xiaolan have to do with Hu Xiaoying? After all, Hu Xiaoying is now a sensitive topic in his mind, and mentioning it will only increase his troubles, and it is easy for Li Rui to imagine a lot of things, so Liang Jian didn't ask anything.

Li Rui blinked and said, "Next time, when she returns to Ningzhou from Tokyo, I'll let you see her." ”

Liang Jian originally wanted to say, "No need, this is your friend, I won't intervene". However, because the woman's name was too similar to Hu Xiaoying's name, Liang Jian couldn't help but feel a wave of curiosity in his heart. Liang Jian knows that as a senior leading cadre, he should be calm and solemn, and he should not be curious about everything.

However, he felt that he was not an ordinary leading cadre. He once read a philosopher's sentence, which basically means that if you want to be young, you must maintain a curious mind. Therefore, sometimes he will deliberately let himself be curious and explore, without forcing himself to gather that curious mind.

Today, that's how he let himself go, and he said, "Well, we'll see you next time this friend of yours comes." ”

Li Rui seemed to have finally found a way to thank Liang Jian, and said with a promise: "I will contact her after I go back and ask her if she has any recent trip to Ningzhou." ”

Then, Li Rui got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Li Rui left, Liang Jian asked Er Qiao to take the gift box: "I really haven't touched anything like coffee." You can take it and study it. If you know how to make coffee, give it a try, and if you find it too much trouble, forget it. You can give it to someone. ”

Er Qiao picked up the gift box and said, "Governor Liang, then I'll take it and read the manual first, I used to work in a coffee shop, and the basic production method is good." ”

The next day, Liang Jian returned to the dormitory after work and didn't want to go to the small canteen of the guest house to eat right away. At noon, because I received merchants from other provinces and didn't drink, I ate too much, and now I haven't fully digested it. So, he wanted to go down to eat later.

As soon as he came to his own floor of the guest house, Liang Jian's nose was sensitive to a trace of fragrance. Although Liang Jian doesn't drink too much coffee, he can basically identify that this fragrance is the aroma of coffee. In the corridor, some waiters at work were also muttering to each other: "This coffee is so fragrant! I don't know which leader is so interested, he is actually making coffee!"

Liang Jian suddenly remembered that Li Rui gave him a coffee machine and coffee beans yesterday. Could it be that Er Qiao is making coffee?

When Liang Jian pushed open the door, a stronger smell of coffee came to his face. A slender girl with coiled hair was standing on the edge of the wine cabinet, fiddling with the coffee machine. It gives people the illusion of being very family. This is Liang Jian's waiter Er Qiao.

Er Qiao should have sensed that someone had come in, so she turned around, and after seeing Liang Jian, she said with a smile on her face, "Governor Liang, are you back?"

Liang Jian nodded and asked, "Are you making coffee?" ”

Er Qiao replied, "Yes, I studied it and tried a few cups just now." If Governor Liang is not in a hurry to eat, I want Governor Liang to taste a cup of coffee I brewed. ”

Liang Jian's eyes fell on the exquisite, complex coffee machine, and his sense of smell was full of the taste of coffee. He smiled and said, "I ate too much at noon, and I'm not in a hurry to eat dinner, if you don't bother, just bring me a drink." Thank you. ”

"Of course not bother. Er Qiao smiled and said, "It'll be fine right away." Governor Liang, you can go to the balcony and sit down first, and I'll bring it to you." ”

Liang Jian felt that Er Qiao's suggestion was good. In the past, if he didn't pay for his job, he would go directly to the cafeteria to eat after work, and he didn't have time to sit on the balcony. In fact, their guest house was originally a garden-style building, and the balcony of each leader's house was a large lawn or flower garden facing out. Sitting on the balcony reading a book, or being in a daze would be a good leisure, but unfortunately few leaders have such leisure.

Today, Liang Jian was too full at noon and got a moment of leisure, so he took a copy of "Jiangcheng" from the bookshelf and came to the balcony and flipped it up. He has wanted to read this book for a long time, it was written by a foreigner, and it is about Fuling after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in the eyes of a foreigner. For a while, it was a bestseller, and he never had time to read it.

After he finished the first few pages, he heard Er Qiao's soft and pleasant voice ringing in his ears: "Governor Liang, the coffee is ready, please use it." A cup of coffee was already placed on the coffee table on Liang Jian's left hand, and the fragrance of coffee wafted out and blended into the evening sun.

Liang Jian saw that there was only one cup, so he asked Er Qiao, "Why don't you drink it yourself?"

Er Qiao hurriedly said: "There is, there is." ”

Liang Jian smiled and said, "Then you go and pour a cup and drink a cup of coffee with me." ”

When Er Qiao heard Liang Jian say this, her ears turned red, but she didn't refuse, and said very obediently: "Then I'll pour a cup out, thank you Governor Liang for inviting me to coffee." ”

Liang Jian smiled: "Why did I invite you to coffee? ”

Er Qiao suddenly said boldly and mischievously: "But this coffee machine and coffee beans are both from Governor Liang, so you invited me to drink it." ”

Liang Jian was no longer obsessed with the ownership of this coffee, so he said, "Go and pour a cup." ”

After a while, the two of them sat on the balcony and drank coffee. Liang Jian took a sip of coffee slowly, not feeling much at first. But after a few seconds, the sweetness of the coffee spreads from the back of the tongue and is extremely aromatic. Liang Jian took the coffee, glanced at it and said, "Although I don't understand, I feel that this coffee should not be bad." ”

Er Qiao's beautiful eyes looked at Liang Jian and said, "Governor Liang, what you said is not bad at all. These coffee beans are really good. I've worked at Starbucks before, and I've never tasted such good coffee. ”

Liang Jian became a little alert: "How much do you estimate for this coffee?"

"Coffee beans are the most expensive, about $200 a pound. Secretary-General Li gave you about three pounds, which is about 4,000 yuan. ”

Liang Jian was relieved at this time, 4,000 yuan is really nothing. It seems that this Li Rui did not lie to him, and indeed did not give him very valuable things.

However, Er Qiao's next sentence surprised Liang Jian: "Governor Liang, but that coffee machine is very expensive, I estimate that it will probably not be less than 50,000 yuan!"

What? 50,000 yuan a coffee machine! It's not a bribe!

Liang Jian immediately called Li Rui: "Your coffee beans are very good, I'll take them." You can let someone take the coffee machine back! Secretary General Li, you come with me for this set, and I said that I would not give any valuables. ”

Li Rui said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "This coffee machine was given to you by Hu Xiaolan, let's put it here for you first." The next time she comes, you can return it to her in person. ”

Liang Jian was a little confused. How can you say that this coffee machine was given to him by Hu Xiaolan? Is this Li Rui setting himself up?

Okay, you Li Rui won't come to get the coffee machine, right? Then when the time comes, I will really return it to Hu Xiaolan in person, so that you will have no face. Liang Jian had already made up his mind in his heart. He really wants to see who that Hu Xiaolan is!

There is a saying that plans can't keep up with change. In the officialdom, this sentence was applied again and again.

Originally, Wu Yue's appointment as executive vice governor of the Jiangzhong Provincial Government lacked a letter of appointment. However, four days passed, and the letter of appointment did not come.

Everyone started talking about it, and they didn't know what was going on? Did they change their minds?

However, on the sixth day, the documents came down. However, this is not a simple letter of appointment, but a letter of transfer. Comrade Wu Yue was transferred to the executive vice governor of the Dinggui Provincial Government.

The executive is still the same executive, but it is not the executive of Jiangzhong.
