In this negotiation, Qu Ping had no room for maneuver at all, everything was designed and arranged by the Tang family and Hu Qinglan. And all Qu Ping could do was to follow the direction they pulled and move forward. Of course, on the way, he should not contribute less at all, otherwise he will only suffer from it.

Qu Ping was aggrieved, and a fire was stuffed in his chest and it was not good to vent.

After separating from Hu Qinglan, only Liang Jian and Qu Ping were left, Qu Ping's face suddenly turned cold. Liang Jian also knew it in his heart, so he tried not to speak, and tried not to touch this mold.

Next, this matter seems to have nothing to do with Liang Jian. However, Liang Jian didn't have much to worry about this matter, and his mind was now full of how to tell Xiang Jin about going to Jiangzhong.

With Xiang Jin's character, since it is a settled matter, she will definitely not quarrel. But if she doesn't make noise, it doesn't mean that she has no opinion in her heart. She and Nishang have just adapted here, and they have their own friends, and life is beautiful step by step. Just when he could look forward to the future, Liang Jian wanted to leave here and go to Jiangzhong. Do they follow, or not?

To follow that means to give up everything here, familiar jobs, familiar people, familiar life. Although Jiang Zhong also has a few friends, they are basically Liang Jian's friends, and they are strange to Ni Shang, Xiang Jin, and Tang Li.

But if you don't go with it, it means you have to live in two places. Their relationship has gone through many twists and turns before it finally stabilized, and now they are going to separate again, not to mention that Xiang Jin may not be willing, Liang Jian is not very hopeful in his heart at first. It's just that Liang Jian can't take the initiative to ask Xiang Jin to give up everything here, leave Xiang Lao behind, and take the child to Jiangzhong with him.

Liang Jian thought about it again and again, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to send a text message to Xiang Jin, asking her to come out for dinner in the evening, and the two took the opportunity to talk about this matter.

Liang Jian thought that if Xiang Jin really couldn't accept it, then he would either not go...... It's just that this idea is hesitant for Liang Jian.

When the content was edited and ready to be sent, Liang Jian suddenly thought of something. Tonight, the old man he met last time asked him to have dinner, and he had promised that if it was this time, it would be inappropriate to release other pigeons. Liang Jian had no choice but to delete the text message he was going to send to Xiang Jin.

In the evening, before half past four, Min'er called Liang Jian and asked him what time he would get off work.

Liang Jian replied: "Normally, it's half past five." ”

After Min'er heard this, she said, "Then I'll wait for you downstairs in your unit at half past five." By the way, you're working in the city government, right?"

"Yes. You don't have to come and pick me up, I have a car, you can go there by yourself. Liang Jian said.

Min'er replied: "My grandfather wants to have some wine with you, but it's inconvenient for you to drive back." So, I'd better come and pick you up, I happen to be nearby, just take you along the way. ”

Since she said so, Liang Jian didn't insist anymore.

Before getting off work, Liang Jian called Tian Wang and asked Qu Ping about the situation, and after learning that there was nothing wrong, he packed his things in advance and prepared to go downstairs.

When he took the briefcase, Liang Jian saw the document bag that Tian Wang gave him in the morning, so he took it down casually, and went to the parking lot to throw the document bag in the car before walking out.

On the road next to the gate, there is already a red polo waiting. Liang Jian went around to the front of the car to take a look, Min'er was wearing long black hair, wearing a yellow and white embroidered dress sitting inside, and was reading a book with her head down. These days, it's rare for a little girl to carry a book with her.

Liang Jian saw that she was looking seriously, so he didn't call her, went around to the other side, stretched out his hand, and really opened the car door. When he sat in, Liang Jian looked at Min'er with a hint of panic in surprise, and said with a smile: "You are like this, stop here and not lock the door, but it is very dangerous." ”

"I forgot. Min'er replied, nervous with a hint of shyness.

Liang Jian smiled, looked at her, and asked again, "Why don't I open it?"

"No need, it's better for me to come, I'm familiar with the road. Min'er said.

The car was on the road, there were many cars on the road at this time, and the original journey of about half an hour, the car stopped and stopped for nearly an hour and a half before arriving at Min'er's house.

Min'er's house is just across the street from Central Park, just across a moat. It's an old town, and it's all old houses. However, the old houses here should have been considered large families in the past, and the courtyard houses were built squarely, with white walls and black tiles, which looked particularly imposing. Nowadays, these houses have been neglected for a long time, and some of them are neglected, and the white walls may not be so white, but the vines that poke out of the yard quietly climb all over the walls, and occasionally one or two small flowers will emerge from them, which has a unique flavor.

In addition, although it is not far from the city center, it is not noisy, which can be described as a quiet place. Opposite is Central Park again, and the greenery is good, so the air and scenery are ok.

When Liang Jian arrived here, he looked at it and said to Min'er: It is good to care for the elderly here. The air is good, the scenery is good, and it is quiet, and there is a place to go if you want to walk around after eating a good meal on weekdays.

Min'er smiled and took over: "You also said that this place is good, no wonder grandpa refuses to move away!"

While talking, walking into the courtyard, a marble square road spreads out from under the feet, extending in all directions. Directly in front, under the grape trellis, an old man was sitting in a recliner and squinting and napping, and a middle-aged man next to him was holding a fruit knife and peeling fruit.

"Dad. Min'er looked at the middle-aged man and called Dad.

The middle-aged man looked up, and Liang Jian looked at it, and he felt very familiar, but all of a sudden he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was. Obviously, the name is on his lips.

When the middle-aged man saw the two, he put the fruit aside, and got up to greet them. When he arrived, he looked at Liang Jian, and then asked with a smile, "What do you call it?"

"Liang Jian. It's okay for my uncle to call me Xiaoliang. Liang Jian stretched out his hand respectfully. The middle-aged man also reached out and shook his hand gently, and then said, "Liang Jian, the newly appointed secretary general of the municipal party committee." Fortunately, I will be glad to be!"

Liang Jian didn't expect the other party to be able to report his identity at once, he was really surprised. It seems that even if the other party is not a member of the government, he should pay more attention to the dynamics of the government.

Liang Jian asked him by the way: "I don't know what to call my uncle?"

"My surname is Xu. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Xu. Min'er's father said with a smile. Liang Jian frowned slightly. He glanced at this Uncle Xu's face again, this outline, this facial features, clearly showed familiarity. But he couldn't remember who this man was. He should have seen it.

Moreover, Liang Jian remembered that when he finished eating with Lao Tang and them yesterday, Qu Ping and Xiang Lao both mentioned an old man Xu. Liang Jian quietly glanced at the old man behind him who hadn't opened his eyes yet, could it be this one?

This old man Xu, although his position may not be high before retirement, but people are unwilling to go up, and at his age, when he was the leader of this district, it must have been at least twenty or thirty years ago. Twenty or thirty years ago, not to mention Qu Ping, Xiang Lao might have been just an unknown person. Then, it seems that it is okay for Xiang Lao and them to call him the old chief.

Thinking about it like this, Liang Jian felt more and more that this old man was the old man Xu in Qu Ping's mouth.

"Grandpa, don't sleep. You see, who's coming. Min'er suddenly ran over and woke up the old man. The old man took a look, and when he saw Liang Jian, his eyes immediately lit up, and he laughed.

"Xiao Liang is here, hurry up and sit!" The old man beckoned Liang Jian to sit on the stool next to him, which was the wooden stool that Uncle Xu was sitting on before.

"You talk, Min'er, you go in with me to make tea. Uncle Xu called Shang Min'er and walked to the back room. Liang Jian had no choice but to put away his thoughts, temporarily suppressed his doubts, and walked to the old man and sat down.

As soon as Liang Jian sat down, the old man said, "I'm very happy that you are willing to come." Generally, a bad old man like me, who is half-cut into the ground, you young people don't look down on it, and don't want to deal with it. ”

Liang Jian hurriedly said: "You are willing to call me over for dinner, that is my honor." Besides, you're not old, and you're not a bad old man. ”

The old man laughed, and his hearty laughter made people feel very comfortable to hear.

"The lad can talk. The old man looked at Liang Jian with a kind gaze: "How old are you this year?"

“38。 Liang Jian replied truthfully.

"That's not too old. After the old man finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Are you married?"

"It's over. Liang Jian replied while thinking to himself, why did this old man ask so carefully. Just thinking about it, the old man then said: "That's a pity." Otherwise, you can try it with us Min'er. ”

Min'er, who was walking out with a teacup, heard this, and immediately blushed, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, do you want to marry me off so much? If I get married, then no one will accompany you for a walk every day!"

The old man laughed and said, "Is it possible, you still want to stay with me, a bad old man, for the rest of your life?"

"Isn't that okay?" Min'er asked with a smile.

Liang Jian looked at the grandfather and grandson so happy, and he was in a very good mood.

Xu is old man's words just now to try with Min'er, which made Min'er, a young girl, feel embarrassed, and when she handed the teacup to Liang Jian, she didn't dare to open her eyes to look at Liang Jian, and there were two light red flakes flying on her fair cheeks, which made her even more delicate.

"Xiao Liang is also a public official, right?" When Liang Jian lowered his head and was about to drink tea, the old man suddenly asked.

Liang Jian raised his head and replied, "Yes." ”

"What position are you currently working in?" the old man asked again. When Min'er's father talked to him just now, he should have fallen asleep so he didn't hear it.

Liang Jian thought, anyway, Min'er's father had already recognized him, so it was not interesting for him to hide it from the old man at the moment, so he said it truthfully.

When the old man heard that he was the secretary general of the municipal party committee, he was surprised. Then, he sighed: "Sure enough, it is a talented person from generation to generation." You are already the secretary general of the municipal party committee at a young age, amazing!"

Liang Jian was a little embarrassed when he heard the old man's praise, after all, his current status is still a little watery. He replied embarrassedly: "The old man has an overreputation, but it's just luck." ”

"Alas, you can't say that!" the old man looked at Liang Jian and said, "Luck is also part of strength. ”
