Li Jianjun listened to Zhang Yan's words, and his face was a little unbearable. But now his mind is in a mess, he has lost his sense of proportion, and he doesn't know what to do.

In the past, although this Zhang Yan was amiable on the surface, he was a deputy mayor. However, from time to time, it is also possible to look at him unpleasantly and ridicule him with a few words. He couldn't help her at all. He knew there was something intricate behind her. What's more, he has no backbone now, even if Zhang Yan slaps him in the face a few times, he doesn't dare to say a word.

After all, if he can't get over this hurdle, what may be waiting for him is that the black gauze hat will be taken off.

It is even possible to go directly to the high-walled compound in the south of the city and start a long life of drinking porridge.

Li Jianjun kept wiping the cold sweat with his hands, and his eyes looked in the hall. He tried to ask an old friend he had known for many years, but found that he couldn't find anyone to help him.

He wanted to beg Zhang Yan again, but Zhang Yan ignored him at all, and walked towards Liu Qingming instead.

......

The lobby is the kind of pure Western buffet dinner model.

On both sides are two columns of various kinds of snacks. In the middle is the activity area, and in front there is also a stage. It is surrounded by a variety of European-style upholstered sofas and coffee tables. Everything looks like it, like a night party for the big families in the West. However, after all, this kind of thing has not been around for many years. Mostly some young people who follow the trend are playing.

Some of the older people are in a few luxurious boxes nearby.

Inside, however, is a standard Chinese-style flowing water mat.

Most of these elderly figures in local political and business circles did not have a high standard of living in the past few years. Most of them have only risen in recent years with economic development. Except for a small number of business figures, because of the expansion of capital, because of business problems, participate in this kind of social occasions a little more. Like most local grassroots officials, as well as small-capital peasant entrepreneurs, this kind of banquet is still not very acceptable. There are a lot of things they don't understand. Gradually, it was only for children's play.

They are still more accustomed to showing their status at the wine table in the box room of a high-end hotel.

In the hall, except for Li Jianjun and some older generations who are greeting some juniors, most of them are the second and third generations. They are generally under the age of 30. Basically, it also concentrates most of the political and business circles in Liancheng City. After all, although Li Jianjun, the deputy mayor, does not have much power, he has been operating in Liancheng City for many years and has deep roots. Like Jiang Tianming and Zhou Tiancheng, they will give some face more or less. If something big happens, these relationships may not be useful. On weekdays, weddings and funerals are ushered in, and everyone will still take care of face.

These young people outside seem to be dressed very high-end, and most of the luxury cars parked outside are them.

But in the end, it's nonsense.

What this city can really call the shots is the old men who look rustic in those boxes, and many people may not even know how to use knives and forks and other Western tableware. Most of them may not use any brand-name utensils, or they may have used a towel for decades. However, whether it is the strong dragon who crosses the river or those officials who have just been transferred from a deep background, they must listen to their opinions to a greater or lesser extent. Although they have been deceitful and deceitful for many years, they have fought openly and secretly. Over the years, I don't know how many people have died on the streets and how many have been imprisoned. However, the old men who can still live and sit in those boxes, which one is not the master who speaks in his own one-third of an acre.

Liu Qingming and Sisi played simple games such as rock-paper-scissors.

The two of them, one big and one young, were having a lot of fun, and the little black dog was humming and chirping on the side, but no one paid attention to it. Fortunately, there were still some women with dogs at this banquet.

After a while, the little black dog surrounded a large number of various famous dogs.

Most people don't bring dogs at this kind of banquet, after all, it is also a sign of respect for the host. However, there are still a few people who seem to have inseparable feelings with dogs, and they feel sad for a while. However, most of the women who can come over with dogs have a man behind them who doesn't care whether Li Jianjun is happy or not. Others, no matter how uncomfortable they are, will not give themselves a chance to offend the deputy mayor stupidly.

The little black dog stroked the's hair for a while, and teased the's hooves for a while. A few male dogs kept carrying all kinds of delicacies to the little black dog.

Fortunately, Liu Qingming was sitting in this position in the corner, and the little black dog was just next to Liu Qingming, blocked by the sofa and Liu Qingming's figure. Otherwise, it will definitely make a group of people depressed.

A group of famous dogs are waiting for a local dog like a dog king, this kind of wonder is rare after all.

Zhou Yiru sat down in front of Liu Qingming and said to Liu Qingming, "I don't seem to have been to work recently."

"After staying for a long time, I want to change jobs," Liu Qingming said with a smile.

Actually, it's not like staying for long. What happened in the company a few days ago has been spread by many people. He can't work quietly in Tiancheng Advertising Media. As long as people's status exceeds the people around them too much, they can't be calm in those circles. Rich and easy to wife, expensive and easy to make friends. That's essentially the truth. Although Liu Qingming did not go to the company, he has seen too many things over the years.

Zhou Yiru's face changed, but she still calmed down and said, "Can I apologize?" I know, I have a bit of a temper as a lady, and I have not fulfilled my obligations as a wife. Moreover, there were many things before, and I also misunderstood you. I hope you can forgive me. ”

"It has nothing to do with you," Liu Qingming said.

"Okay" Zhou Yiru said, paused for a moment and said, "When are you free these days, let's take wedding photos."

"It's just a little joke made by Lao Zhou, there's no need to take it seriously" Liu Qingming was slightly moved, and said with a smile, "Yiru, we have known each other for a long time, although there are many misunderstandings." But, I think we're acquaintances after all. ”

Acquaintance?

Zhou Yiru's face was slightly pale, she understood that this was Liu Qingming telling the relationship between them. Her father told her that although there was a marriage certificate between them, Liu Qingming never seemed to have a crush on her. She still didn't believe it, but Liu Qingming's current words made her understand that Liu Qingming had indeed never looked at her squarely.

They were just acquaintances.

"Yes, we are just acquaintances" Zhou Yiru smiled miserably, she felt very aggrieved, and she felt like crying. She never thought that she would be so low in front of this man she once looked down on, and every word had to be judged by his face. He was what he said, and she didn't even dare to refute it. However, she had to find ways to get closer to him. After sorting out his emotions, he forced a smile and said, "Will we have a chance to be friends in the future?" After all, our names are still written on a marriage certificate. ”

"I think we're talking quite casually now, and we should be able to talk about friends," Liu Qingming said. Some words are clear, just make her clear. Acquaintances and friends, it's just that the names are different.

"Thank you" Seeing that Liu Qingming did not block the relationship between them, Zhou Yiru felt that the pressure on her whole body was much lighter. After all, the fate of the entire Zhou family and Tiancheng Group is tied to a few seemingly simple conversations between the two of them. After a pause, he said, "Can we try to go out shopping and watch a movie?" After all, between friends, these are nothing. ”

Liu Qingming frowned and didn't speak again.

Zhou Yiru smiled, she knew that she seemed to be a little bit inched. Some things still need to be said directly, "The company has had some problems recently, and I don't understand." However, Dad's hair has been a lot grayer lately. He said, only you can help us. ”

"Is it really in vain that Old Zhou has been in the rain for so many years, and this little battle makes him unbearable?" Liu Qingming smiled and said, "Let him rest assured, he should plant flowers and flowers, play golf when he should play golf, and go out for a trip if he has nothing to do, and this matter will pass." He has to worry about it, and I don't have to worry about it. I should have told him not to take it seriously. ”

"Dad didn't tell me much, but I still found a lot of things. Behind this is the Mikusa Foundation of Fuso. Zhou Yi said.

Zhou Yiru was about to say something, and a sturdy young man walked over. It was the young man Li Zhiqiang met at the door just now. Li Zhiqiang also followed him at this time, constantly talking to the young man, with a stammering smile on his face. His eyes kept on the young man's facial expression.

"Miss Zhou, long time no see" the young man greeted Zhou Yiru.

Before Zhou Yiru could say anything, Li Zhiqiang said to Liu Qingming, "Qingming, you sit at that table and let Brother Pei have a few words with you Mr. Zhou." ”

"Who is this? It seems to be a little raw, which family is it?" the young man looked at Liu Qingming and asked at Li Zhiqiang. The face didn't show anything, though. But there was some hostility.

"He is an employee of Mr. Zhou, not from any family, Brother Pei, you misunderstood" Li Zhiqiang said, and then said to Liu Qingming, "Spicy next door, you don't have long ears, didn't you hear Lao Tzu speak? Don't think that with my sister protecting you, you can be embarrassed." If Brother Pei wants to touch you, my sister can't protect you. ”

Originally, Li Zhiqiang still had some generosity towards Liu Qingming. However, in order to tie up this surnamed Pei, seeing that Liu Qingming didn't react, his face couldn't hold back, and he burst into foul language for a while.

Sisi, who had always been very sensible and lying in Liu Qingming's arms without saying a word, suddenly picked up the cake on the table and smashed it in Li Zhiqiang's face.

Li Zhiqiang was arrogant and wanted to say something more, but he ate a mouth full of cakes at once, and his face was full of cream. Even that Brother Pei splashed a lot.

"Uncle, you are not allowed to scold your uncle, this is a punishment for you, if you dare to bully your uncle in the future, I will call my grandfather and ask him to clean you up" I saw Sisi looking at Li Zhiqiang with an angry face. Although Li Wanni has no connection with her husband's family. But Sisi is the granddaughter of the family in the province after all, and although the retired old man doesn't pay much attention to Sisi, he finally pays attention to it. When Sisi was sick, he expressed appropriate concern when he was sick. Sisi also went to him once after he recovered from his illness. The old man is also very happy that Sisi is well, and he has been a little more concerned about Sisi recently. Knowing Sisi's birthday today, he made a special call to Sisi.

Some of the cream fell into his clothes, which made Li Zhiqiang so uncomfortable, he was depressed and couldn't walk when he heard Sisi say to let his grandfather clean him up, but he was so frightened that he almost didn't stop.

Zhou Yiru also had a frosty face, stood up suddenly, looked at Li Zhiqiang coldly and said, "Li Zhiqiang, you can scold me again."
