Chapter 103: The First Arrival
Liujia Villa, located in the northern suburbs of Yuncheng, is not a remote place to find. It's not a self-built compound, but because the place is clean and remote, Liu Jingqi always likes to spend his weekends here.
In the living room in the courtyard, wisps of light smoke linger on the beams... It is enough to explain the complexity of Liu Jingqi's mood at this moment, if there is anything that he is most concerned about and can't let go of now, it is Liu Manhui, fortunately, Liu Manhui and Liao Tiancheng broke the bottom line of the already unreliable relationship between the two because of Xu Tao's unexpected appearance, and Liao Tiancheng stepped on the sewing machine soon after the angry divorce.
Liu Manhui, therefore, only accepted a few rounds of conversations and simple inquiries, and was determined not to have much to do with Liao Tiancheng, everything was done by Liao Tiancheng! The money was also spent by Liao Tiancheng, and the benefits did not fall on Liu Manhui's head at all.
While preserving the face of the Liu family, it did not let things continue to develop in a more uncontrollable direction, for this, Liu Jingqi is actually a little grateful to Xu Tao from the bottom of his heart... But then again, Liu Jingqi's arrangement for Xu Tao was actually based on Liu Manhui's requirements, and after a long time, Liu Jingqi couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of this young man named Xu Tao.
Liu Yuntian on the side shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Dad! You don't know, when you asked me to transfer Xu Tao to work in the provincial exchange, Zhao Wenming, the kid of the Zhao family, almost turned his face with me! clamored and didn't let people go, but Xia Junming from Yunxi County finished the formalities, and he had to admit it! ”
"Haha! The Zhao family is good now... The one in the house walked half a step forward. ”
"yes.. However, isn't our family's current condition not bad? With me and the second child here, we can also support our Liu family on the boundary of Changnan Province! "It's always bad to talk too much about other people's things.. Especially when Liu Yuntian thought that his old man was about to retire, and when he heard that the Zhao family had now taken half a step up, he was probably not happy in his heart.
Take the initiative to divert the topic.. Who would have thought about it, but Liu Jingqi shook his head: "After so many years, you still haven't understood... Or rather, you're deliberately pretending to be confused... You have been in Changnan for too long, and there are many rumors in the province that they want to blow you down, but I am still there, and this kind of voice can only be said in the back of a few words. ”
"But if one day... If I'm not in the position, not in the circle... It's too difficult and too difficult for people to go to tea and cold, and count on those so-called old friends in the past to take care of them.."
Liu Yuntian couldn't deny it, he also knew it in his heart... It's just that he didn't want to take the initiative to put the teacup in his hand in front of the table, Liu Jingqi slowly said again: "There are too many people in the rules, people's hearts are floating, and a few of today's young people can afford to take the lead, but we old bones have to go.. When the time comes, what will happen to the Liu family? You.. This chairman has been in office for too long, and there is not much official smell on his body, but the taste of businessmen is strong! ”
"Dad.. After all, the provincial trading investment is still an enterprise, isn't it normal to have a bit of a businessman's taste? ”
"Humph! Outsiders know that you say nothing about the provincial trade... But you haven't thought about it, why did Secretary Feng, who had been traded in the province for so many years, not participate in the management as if he had evaporated from the world? ”
Feng Haichao, secretary of Changnan Trading Investment Group, although Liu Yuntian is the chairman of the company... But everyone knows that the position of the chairman can be replaced like a marquee, but the secretary often does not change for many years... It is the real core speaker of the group.
"That's because I'm still here."
"But what if I'm gone? It never hurts to train more new people! After that, Liu Jingqi squinted his eyes slowly, leaving only Liu Yuntian, who was thoughtful on the side, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, and said, "Dad! At most, I will take the initiative to apply for a local post in a year! ”
"That's right... Man, you can't sit in a good place for too long! Some people are red-eyed, some people are talking, they are not afraid of lice, they are afraid of mosquitoes noisy, just understand.."
...
Outside the small courtyard, Xu Tao and Liu Manhui got out of the car together, and Xu Tao took the initiative to go to the trunk and carry all kinds of gifts prepared by Liu Manhui in advance.
Liu Manhui is in the front, Xu Tao is in the back.
As if a new son-in-law came to the door, Liu Manhui stood by the door of the small courtyard and gently knocked on the copper buckle on the door, and after a while, a woman opened the door, and the moment she saw Liu Manhui, she was surprised and said: "Ah! Girl, your dad is still talking about you, saying that you haven't arrived yet! ”
"He misses you, and he can't wait for it! Your eldest brother is also here today, but the second child really wants to go to the capital for a meeting, otherwise our family will be able to have a reunion dinner..."The woman is none other than Liu Manhui's mother, Wang Qiao.
Similarly, for Xu Tao's role at the moment, it is also Xu Tao's "mother-in-law", the moment he saw Xu Tao, Wang Qiao did not look down on the cold eyes of those mothers-in-law in the legend, and some only had the same enthusiasm... "Yikes! You are Xiao Xu, you are really young and good-looking! Come, Auntie made your meal at noon today, keep it and eat it later! ”
"Uh-huh! Good.. Auntie, I will definitely take a few more bites and try your craftsmanship. Xu Tao was not timid, smiling and greeting.
Looking at this scene, the corners of Liu Manhui's eyes suddenly became a little moist... married Liao Tiancheng, she greeted the opposition of the whole family from top to bottom, but she didn't listen to a word at the beginning, just thinking about love and Liao Tiancheng's promise, and do as she pleased; Now, after all these years... Liu Manhui looked at Xu Tao, and countless complicated feelings welled up in her heart.
Xu Tao quickly noticed Liu Manhui's strange appearance, took out a tissue from his pocket, and looked at Wang Qiao apologetically: "Auntie! I don't dare to bully your little friend."
"How is there no bullying .. It's you! Liu Manhui had tears in the corners of her eyes, but her expression was full of smiles, Wang Qiao looked at the two of them and understood it very well, and hurriedly said, "Okay!" Don't stand all at the door, what's that called... Quick, get in, get in! ”
The small courtyard can't see anything from the outside, but the inside is different.
The decoration is exquisite, and the rockery is flowing water. Antique, Xu Tao also saw a lot of bird cages in the corner of the yard, thinking that Liu Jingqi must have liked it, after all, he only came on weekends, and he had to ask someone to take care of these birds on weekdays.
The small courtyard is not big, and it takes a few steps to the living room. Liu Manhui pushed open the door of the hall in front of him, looked at Liu Jingqi and Liu Yuntian, and enthusiastically introduced to the two: "Dad! Elder brother! This is Xu Tao.."
"Uncle .. Mr. Liu.." Xu Tao said hello, but Liu Yuntian said in amazement: "Xiao Xu is also a soldier under me now, but today is the first time to take a photo!" ”
Liu Jingqi couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't talk about you, it's the first time I've seen the old man!" Not bad.. Not bad! ”
