Chapter Twenty-Four: A Meeting of the Quartet with Different Minds
(Today, the third update is delivered, just to thank the brothers for their support.) Ming said that he continued to look forward to the votes of his brothers and fought again. )
Xia Xiang didn't have any classmates at the construction site, and he asked Cao Shumu to pretend that his girlfriend actually had ulterior motives. However, it was inconvenient to say it explicitly, so he replied vaguely: "Regardless of him, first have something else to do, to meet an important person." ”
"Then do you want to pretend to be a girlfriend?" Cao Shumu asked with a little dissatisfaction.
"Whatever you want!" Xia Xiang played a trick, lest Cao Shumu think of this in the future, and after turning the corner, he would complain that he was suspected of deliberately using her. So he gave her the choice.
Cao Shumu didn't hesitate for a moment, gently grabbed Xia Xiang's arm and said, "Such a fun thing happened to me, if you don't participate, it won't be my style." Go, who's afraid of whom? ”
Xia wanted to see Cao Shumu sticking tightly, and smiled bitterly in his heart, just pretending, don't you have to be so close? Who's afraid of whom? He was really a little afraid that Li Jiefu would tell Cao Yongguo when he saw it, and if Cao Yongguo had any thoughts about him, his hard work to establish a good image in the Cao family today would be in vain.
He couldn't pull his arm out of Cao Shumu's hand, so he had to secretly hope that Li Jiefu was not in Feng Xuguang's office.
It's a pity that Xia Xiang's good wishes came to naught, Li Jiefu was not only in Feng Xuguang's office, but also surrounded by Feng Xuguang and Li Hongjiang in the middle, one serving tea and the other handing cigarettes, enjoying the treatment of leaders. However, Li Jiefu drank tea and smoked cigarettes, but he didn't know anything about Feng Xuguang and Li Hongjiang's questions, and just shook his head with a smile.
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Li, don't force me, you two, I just sent Director Cao's daughter to the construction site, as for the relationship between the young man who accompanied her and her, I don't know at all. I'm a driver, just drive, I can't ask questions that shouldn't be asked......"
In fact, Feng and Li also knew in their hearts that no matter whether Li Jiefu knew why the director's daughter had to come to the scene of Jiajia Supermarket, he would definitely not tell them. Feng Xuguang and Li Jiefu were not familiar with each other, but they didn't say anything, Li Hongjiang had drunk with Li Jiefu a few times, and he was relatively familiar, so he tried every possible way to trick him. Li Jiefu will not be fooled, he enjoys good smoke and tea, and plays Tai Chi with Li Hongjiang.
Li Jiefu sent Xia Xiang and the two of them, knowing that Director Cao asked him to come with the intention of letting him pay more attention to the actions of the two, but he thought about it for a while, felt that Xia Xiang was calm and reliable, and saw that Cao Shumu had an unusual attitude towards Xia Xiang, so he had an idea in his heart, so he planned to go to the nearby vegetable market for a turn, and after he went back, he would report to the director that everything was normal, and he even thought that Xia Xiang was a good young man and a sensible person, maybe the director was also happy, so why should he do more.
The director's housework, whether it is good or bad, he can't get it good, so he can't see it, so Li Jiefu turned around and went to the vegetable market, walked around for more than half an hour, bought a bunch of vegetables, and as soon as he came back, he was caught by Li Hongjiang.
Li Hongjiang asked Feng Xuguang for a long time, and if he had to ask what the relationship between Feng Xuguang and Director Cao was, Feng Xuguang was also confused. As soon as Li Jiefu came back, Li Hongjiang knew that Director Cao didn't come, but the car came, and it wasn't for Feng Xuguang, so he was relieved most of his heart, and his attitude towards Feng Xuguang immediately became cold again, so he only cared about currying favor with Li Jiefu.
Feng Xuguang knew that the Audi car outside the door was the special car of Director Cao of the Provincial Urban Construction Bureau, although he didn't know Director Cao, but he also knew that Director Cao was in a high position, since Li Jiefu was his driver, he didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, so he invited him to the office and talked with a smiling face.
The three of them had their own thoughts, especially Li Hongjiang, who really didn't understand whether Director Cao's daughter came to the construction site of Jiajia Supermarket unintentionally, or whether he deliberately hinted at something with some holiday homework. The leader's mind must be pondered carefully, otherwise when he offends the leader, he will lose his future with a word, but he will lose a lot. He thought about it, and saw that Feng Xuguang was also puzzled, and his heart was even more uneasy, and he was a little more respectful to Li Jiefu. Although Li Jiefu is just a driver, he is a close confidant of Director Cao, and he is by the director's side every day, even if he doesn't talk nonsense, if the director is happy, he will inadvertently say his name as if he was chatting, and let Director Cao remember the three words "Li Hongjiang", which is a great success.
The more Li Hongjiang thought about it, the more excited he became, he had drunk with Li Jiefu before, but it was all on crowded occasions, and he had not yet seen a face-to-face situation like today, so his heart began to come alive, thinking about how to move Li Jiefu next, and invited him to have a light meal together in the evening.
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Li Hongjiang's train of thought, he was a little annoyed, the words he had just thought of were suddenly startled by the knock on the door, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back It didn't feel very good, so he hurriedly opened the door, and saw two college students standing at the door, a man and a woman, and didn't think much about it, thinking that it was another college student from the School of Architecture who came to look for an internship unit, so he said angrily: "Who are you?" What's the matter? ”
Xia Xiang didn't know Li Hongjiang, but when he saw him wearing a red hard hat representing the identity of the leader, he guessed a few points in his heart, so he smiled and said: "I'm looking for Mr. Feng, and she is looking for Master Li......"
Li Jiefu flashed out from behind Li Hongjiang, nodded to Xia Xiang, and said to Cao Shumu with a gentle and humble smile: "Shumu, is your homework done?" Do you want to go back? ”
Cao Shumu glared at Li Hongjiang dissatisfied, and entered the room with Xia Xiang one after the other, closed the notebook in his hand, and said, "Uncle Li will wait for me in the car." ”
Li Jiefu answered, nodded at Li Hongjiang and Feng Xuguang, and then gently patted Xia Xiang's shoulder, smiled slightly, and went out.
Cao Shumu's face was red from the sun, as bright as a peach blossom, she was beautiful, not only did not have the slightest deterrent, but revealed more delicate beauty, but in Li Hongjiang's eyes, it only felt like a basin of ice water falling from the sky, pouring him wet, from the inside to the outside, a thought flashed in his mind, it's over, I didn't expect the person in front of me to be the director's daughter! Why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid? I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't expect that the driver had not succeeded in currying favor with him, but he offended the director's daughter in one sentence. Who doesn't know that the little girl is small-minded and loves to hold grudges, and if she says bad things about him in front of the director, his future will be worried.
In the blink of an eye, Li Hongjiang's heart was already nine bends and eighteen bends, I don't know how many detours, I stayed in place for a while before I came back to my senses, hurriedly leaned forward again, showed a flattering smile, and said to Xia Xiang: "This classmate, I'm sorry just now, I spoke a little rushed, not for you, but for a while, I solemnly apologize to you." ”
Li Hongjiang didn't dare to provoke Cao Shumu again, and when he saw that Xia wanted to come in with her, he moved his mind to save the country and took the initiative to approach Xia Xiang.
How could Xia Xiang not understand Li Hongjiang's thoughts, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Meet me, my name is Xia Xiang." ”
Feng Xuguang was surprised and delighted when he saw Xia Xiang unexpectedly appear, and saw that he had a close relationship with the director's daughter, so his mind moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xia, why didn't you notify me when you came over, and you still want to give me a surprise?" ”
Li Hongjiang is sweating again, why is the relationship so complicated in the blink of an eye, this Feng Xuguang just said that he didn't know Director Cao, and he had nothing to do with Director Cao, and now he knows this Xia Xiang, and this Xia Xiang is with the director's daughter, what is going on? As soon as he grabbed Xia Xiang's hand, he smiled very kindly: "My name is Li Hongjiang, and I am the manager of the No. 2 Construction No. 1 Branch, and I am very happy to meet you." ”
Feng Xuguang smiled happily: "Xiao Xia, introduce, this is ......" He glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully.
Cao Shumu stood aside blowing the electric fan, took a step forward and grabbed Xia Xiang's arm, and said sweetly: "My name is Cao Shumu, for the time being...... It's Xia Xiang's girlfriend. ”
Feng Xuguang's eyes were full of surprise, and the smile on Li Hongjiang's face became even bigger, and he hurriedly poured two glasses of water for Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu, regardless of the fact that he was not the owner of this office in the first place.
Cao Shumu stopped talking after only saying a word, sat back on the sofa obediently, and looked down at the notebook in his hand. Xia Xiang glanced at her, a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, he originally thought that she was a lively and active little girl with a simple surname, but now it seems that she also has a sensible side.
Feng Xuguang knew that Xia wanted to talk to him about something, and motioned to Li Hongjiang several times, hoping that he would take the initiative to leave. Li Hongjiang turned a blind eye, he had already made up his mind, as long as Xia Xiang and Cao Shumu didn't open their mouths to drive him away, they would be lazy here if they said anything, how could they miss such a good opportunity to show their goodwill, not to mention that he had a bad attitude just now, although it seemed that Cao Shumu didn't take it to heart and didn't look at him again, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Xia wanted to chat with Feng Xuguang for a few words, and he didn't care about Li Hongjiang's presence, in fact, he also deliberately said it to Li Hongjiang, and said: "Mr. Feng, I just found out at the scene that the work has been suspended, is it that the funding problem has not been solved?" ”
Feng Xuguang didn't sit on the boss's chair, but sat side by side with Xia Xiang on the sand, he first glanced at Li Hongjiang, habitually touched the top of his head, and smiled: "Yes, there is still a gap in front of me, there is something wrong with my business payment, otherwise it won't be so difficult?" By the way, Xiao Xia, I have always been interested in the cooperation project we talked about last time, but unfortunately you have not had a follow-up. What's the matter, come today, do you want to give me an account? ”
Xia Xiang turned out to be the boyfriend of Director Cao's daughter, why didn't he arrange for a company with good benefits under the care of Director Cao, but he wanted to stay in Li Dingshan's half-dead company? Feng Xuguang pretended to laugh with Xia Xiang on the surface, but in fact, he was doing it for Li Hongjiang, and the shock and questions in his heart were also lingering, making him unable to figure out Xia Xiang's true purpose for a while. If Xia Xiang just wanted to use Director Cao's relationship to say hello to Li Hongjiang, Li Hongjiang would not start work without selling face, but just by virtue of this, he dared to ask for 10% of the shares, and it was indeed a bit of a lion's mouth.
Feng Xuguang didn't want to give ten percent of the shares, but he felt that it was a little worthless, and he looked down on Xia Xiang a lot. It's just a soft egg who relies on his father-in-law, and he was still pretending to be in front of him before, as if he really had the ability.
As if to confirm what Feng Xuguang was thinking, Cao Shumu suddenly interjected and said, "By the way, Manager Li, why is the construction site suspended?" I just went to the site and wanted to draw a construction drawing, but I didn't find any workers. ”
Li Hongjiang's eyes lit up, and he understood what was going on.
