Liang Jian also had other thoughts about Cao, and after they went down, he came out of the safe corridor and pressed a downward button.

Liang Jian took the elevator down, Minister Bi couldn't see him today, Cao Yexing released his pigeon because of Shen Weiguang and others, but it was just right, it was rare for him to be alone with Xiang Jin, and he had the right to accompany his wife today.

Thinking about it like this, Liang Jian's mood relaxed a lot. After all, his wife is the most important person in his life, but it is this most important person who is also the person he accompanies the least. Therefore, Liang Jian plans to accompany his wife today. Liang Jian's face also showed a slight smile.

At this moment, the elevator had already reached the bottom of the building, and when it opened, there happened to be a person standing outside. Liang Jian was stunned, isn't this Minister Bi?

"Hello Minister Bi. Liang Jian hurriedly called, he didn't expect that he was going to leave, but Minister Bi came.

Minister Bi saw a smile on Liang Jian's face, and his eyebrows moved slightly, "Is there a happy event?"

Of course, Liang Jian didn't say what he had just done, so he said, "Minister Bi, I'm smiling bitterly. I just visited your office, but the secretary said you are off today. That's when I realized that it was Saturday, and I had forgotten it. Liang Jian's explanation is very flattering, on the one hand, he said his intention, on the other hand, he explained that he did not distinguish between working days and rest days, and also hinted at his work attitude.

Sure enough, Minister Bi accepted Liang Jian's statement, and he said: "When we are cadres, how can we still talk about working days and rest days. I was supposed to be here on Saturday, but today someone from my family came, so I didn't come during the day. But I always felt like I couldn't get into the office, as if something was missing, so I came again. ”

Liang Jian said: "Minister Bi, you also have to combine work and rest." ”

Minister Bi smiled: "If I combine work and rest, you won't be able to see me today." By the way, do you want to invite me to dinner when you come here so late?" Liang Jian took the opportunity to say: "Yes, I don't know if Minister Bi is free?"

Minister Bi smiled and said, "I was really caught up by you today." In the past, I usually ate at home, but today my wife was taken out by my daughter and son-in-law to buy clothes, and I was left alone. So I'll treat you to eat, there's a small alley around here. ”

Liang Jian said embarrassedly: "Minister Bi, my daughter-in-law Xiang Jin is also here, and the car is downstairs." Minister Bi didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "That's a good dare! Xiang Jin's niece hasn't seen her for a long time, let's go, I'll treat you two to a good meal today." ”

Liang Jian smiled: "Then what's the matter, of course we're here to invite you!" Minister Bi said: "This matter is not negotiable, let's go." ”

Liang Jian thought to himself, it would definitely not be possible to ask Minister Bi to invite him, but at this time, don't fight with him, just pay in advance. The two came downstairs and walked to the car together, and Minister Bi knocked on the door of the cab.

Xiang Jin was sitting inside, and when he heard a knock on the door, he thought that Liang Jian had invited Cao Yexing, the director of the Second Bureau, down, and the title of "Director Cao" was on his lips. However, when she saw Minister Bi, she was stunned. Didn't Liang Jian say that he wanted to invite Cao Yexing? Why did he finally invite Minister Bi down!

She hurriedly got out of the car, and was about to ask Liang Jian, what about Director Cao's people? But she immediately saw Liang Jian's expression and understood it, so she didn't mention Cao Yexing, but said: "Minister Bi, hello." ”

Bi Hua looked at Xiang Jin for a while, and then said, "Xiang Jin's niece, it seems that Liang Jian didn't bully you. ”

Liang Jian and Xiang Jin both glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what Minister Bi meant. Seeing their puzzled expressions, Bi Hua smiled and said, "Because after so many years, Xiang Jin still looks like a girl in her twenties." Liang Jian and Xiang Jin listened, and they all hurriedly said: "Minister Bi is getting younger and younger!"

"What are you young, I know that I have aged very fast in the past two years!" However, Minister Bi was still happy to hear that he was said to be young, and he said: "I know that you are making me happy, but I still want to invite you to dinner." Niece Xiang Jin, park your car here, and I'll take you to a good place. ”

The place is in a small alley, a very small shop, owned by a couple in their fifties.

The husband is in charge of the cooking, and the daughter-in-law is responsible for serving, tidying up, and washing the dishes. There are only two small boxes, and the hall can accommodate up to eight people. Liang Jian and Xiang Jin thought that Minister Bi would take them to some high-end place, but they didn't expect it to be an ordinary small shop.

asked for a small box, Minister Bi seemed to notice Liang Jian and Xiang Jin's puzzled expressions, so he said: "The braised pork, sauced duck and stinky tofu here are a must." Usually, because of high blood lipids, my wife won't let me touch these things. Today, hehe, take your opportunity to satisfy your appetite as well. ”

Liang Jian and Xiang Jin both laughed, they didn't expect that the noble Minister Bi would be hungry for braised pork, sauced duck and stinky tofu, which was unbelievable. But from another point of view, maybe this is the real Minister Bi.

Liang Jian immediately ordered braised pork, sauced duck and stinky tofu, as well as soybean hooves and a vegetable, and then asked Minister Bi, "Do you want some wine?"

The last time he was in Jiangzhong, he didn't see Minister Bi drinking, so he didn't take the wine without permission. Minister Bi said: "It's rare for me to invite you to dinner, let's drink a little." Let's have some Shaoxing rice wine. ”

The dishes came up, and the wine was opened. It's the most ordinary dish, the most ordinary wine. Liang Jian poured it for all three of them, and he used a bowl to drink. At the beginning, Minister Bi didn't say much, he ate the braised pork and hooves very devotedly, and said that Liang Jian ordered it well, and he didn't know that the hooves here were also so delicious.

Liang Jian and Xiang Jin also began to eat it, and the taste was really good.

After eating and drinking, Minister Bi put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Today, I ate really comfortably, and I ate the amount of braised pork for two months." Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It turns out that Minister Bi eats meat in a month to control the amount?" Minister Bi said: "Yes, we have a special health care doctor who gives us dietary advice every month, and my wife especially believes in these." ”

Liang Jian thought to himself that when officials reached the level of Minister Bi, there were special medical personnel to conduct regular examinations for them, which also reflected political treatment. Unexpectedly, Minister Bi said: "Actually, I am really greedy sometimes. That's why I often come here to satisfy my cravings, but every time I go back, I will be told by my wife. ”

Xiang Jin said: "Minister Bi, in fact, the process of satisfying your cravings is also the process of satisfying yourself. I was satisfied, and I was in a good mood. Being in a good mood is sometimes more important than anything else, and when you are in a good mood, your body will not be too bad. ”

Minister Bi said: "I like Xiang Jin's niece's theory, next time you can help me persuade your aunt." Xiang Jin smiled and said, "No problem." ”

Minister Bi, Liang Jian, and Xiang Jin touched the bowl again and drank all the rice wine in the bowl. Three people with two bottles of rice wine, Minister Bi said: "We don't drink it anymore." Liang Jian was naturally not reluctant.

Minister Bi began to ask Liang Jian what he was busy with these days. Liang Jian reported to Minister Bi on the projects he was concerned about, such as environmental protection breeding in Dinghai City, the construction of underground pipe network in Jingzhou City, and the Shili Peach Blossom Resort Town in Ningjing.

After hearing this, Minister Bi said: "Liang Jian, your concern is very good, and you must implement it as soon as possible." In addition, you should also pay attention to the development of Ningzhou, the last time you said that Ningzhou rushed into the first-tier cities, you can really talk about this idea with the first and second leaders of Ningzhou City. Their secretary is called Chen Xiaoyi, and the mayor is called Qu Wei, right?"

Liang Jian said, "Yes." Minister Bi said: "You can also communicate with them. Liang Jian thought to himself, Chen Xiaoyi is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and he is only the vice governor, so I am afraid it is a little inappropriate to do Chen Xiaoyi's work by himself. But Minister Bi should be very clear about this, but what does it mean to let him communicate with Chen Xiaoyi?

Of course, Liang Jian didn't reveal this doubt, anyway, Minister Bi also said it casually, and it was completely up to him to decide whether to do it or not.

Minister Bi asked again: "Have you been to see Master Zhikong of Fahua Temple?" Liang Jian hurriedly said: "I made a special trip to Jingzhou on Monday, and I met Master Zhikong the next morning. Master Zhikong is in good shape. I chatted with him in the meditation room for about an hour. Master Zhikong, let me also bring you a four-sentence poem. ”

Minister Bi said with blazing eyes: "Which four sentences?"

Liang Jian remembered these four lines of poetry very familiarly, and immediately recited them. "We met thirty years ago, and we never forgot each other all the way in our lives; Master Zhikong also said that he wanted Minister Bi to go and see Master Zhikong as soon as possible while he was still in good health.

Master Zhikong's words were originally "While Monk Zhikong has not yet passed away, let's come and see Lao Gu early." However, when Liang Jian paraphrased, he made slight changes.

After hearing this, Minister Bi was silent for a long time and said, "Liang Jian, when your business is done, you accompany me to see Zhikong's old friend." ”

Isn't this equivalent to Minister Bi's promise to Liang Jian? Liang Jian immediately said, "Okay, I'll wait for Minister Bi at any time." ”

The next morning, Liang Jian received a call from Cao Yexing. Cao Yexing said on the phone: "Governor Liang, I was really embarrassed yesterday. Are you still in Huajing today? You can meet when you have time, but you don't have to eat. ”

Liang Jian thought of yesterday's events, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, and he had some opinions about Cao Yexing. Moreover, he has already received a similar promise from Minister Bi, so Cao Yexing can skip it directly. The most important thing is that he promised Nishang and Tang Li that he would accompany them all day today.

So he said, "I'm sorry, Director Cao, I'm going back to Ningzhou today, let's find another chance to meet." ”

Cao Yexing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liang Jian to reject him directly, he had never encountered such a situation in recent years.
