Three people were standing in the lobby of the guesthouse early in the morning.
Secretary Wang, whose hair was a little messy, said helplessly to Liang Jinchun, who looked anxious:
"Captain Liang, is there something urgent that you called me down so early?"
"It's nothing important, Secretary Wang. These are some breakfasts sold at the most famous and time-honored breakfast shop in Ning City. I thought the leaders were leaving today and it would be a shame to miss them, so I bought some and sent them to the leaders to try."
Liang Jinchun smiled apologetically and winked at Qu Jingyun beside him.
Qu Jingyun understood and put on a fake smile as he handed all the soy milk, fried dough sticks, meat buns, sesame balls... in his hand to Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang was immediately left in a state of confusion by what they did early in the morning.
I finally got a chance to sleep in legitimately on a business trip, so it's okay to wake up a little later than usual, but now, before even 7 o'clock, someone knocks on the door and wakes me up. And it turns out they're asking me to have breakfast?!
I'm really speechless. It's a famous old brand, but you can't get these buns and fried dough sticks anywhere else?!
Of course, delivering breakfast was just an excuse. The provincial leaders were so angry yesterday that they left without even eating. Liang Jinchun was so worried that he couldn't sleep well the whole night. He called the Qi family before dawn and asked Qu Jingyun to go to their house to apologize.
Liang Jinchun cautiously probed his intentions:
"Secretary Wang, we didn't arrange dinner properly yesterday, and several of the leaders left hungry. I feel really bad about that. I hope Captain Peng didn't get mad at you when he got back."
Secretary Wang still couldn't understand the meaning of his words. He snorted and glanced at Qu Jingyun beside him:
"Captain Liang, you're worrying too much. It wasn't me who disrupted the dinner, so why would the leader be angry with me? Besides, our Captain Peng is very well-mannered and wouldn't lose his temper with anyone casually. Even if he were really angry, he would only present facts and reason with others, and would never shout at people like he was cursing on the street."
Being taunted in front of her, Qu Jingyun felt a little embarrassed, with a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. However, the other party was a cadre from the provincial level, and was also someone who followed Deputy Headman Peng. She did not dare to offend him casually, so she could only smile and continue the conversation:
"You're right. Peng Tuan's personal cultivation and tolerance are unmatched by ordinary people. We all still have a lot to learn from him."
"By the way, Secretary Wang, is Mrs. Peng awake now? How about I go up and apologize to her again? I couldn't sleep well the whole night because of what happened yesterday. I feel really bad about it."
Secretary Wang quickly waved his hands. He had been traveling with his leader these days and had already figured out the time when his leader would get up early. It would take at least half an hour for him to get up. If he woke up the leader now, wouldn't that make him offend others as well?
"Don't, Captain Liang, Deputy Captain Qu, the leader is still resting. If you trust me, just listen to my advice."
"The leader didn't say anything when he came back last night. He just ate a bowl of clear noodle soup and went to bed. I guess this matter has just passed. If you woke him up early in the morning and brought up this matter again, you would be asking for trouble."
"Our Peng Tuan is well-mannered and magnanimous. He's experienced a lot and won't bother with you over such a small matter. Go back to work without worry!"
Secretary Wang is close to Deputy Commander Peng and knows the leader's temper best, so Liang Jinchun must listen to what he says.
"Yes, Director Wang, you are very thoughtful. We will not disturb the leader's rest. Please take this breakfast and eat it while it is hot."
Secretary Wang showed a wry smile on his face. What if he didn't eat?
I'm already awake, and I can't fall asleep again. I can't be in the middle of nowhere.
Liang Jinchun came out of the guesthouse with a dejected look on his face, and Qu Jingyun followed behind him dejectedly. He appeared to be admitting his mistake with a good attitude, but his mind was actually elsewhere.
She's been plagued by bad luck lately. Ever since Du Anping died, nothing has gone her way. First, the police came to investigate the photos, then Qi Mingyuan's attitude towards her took a complete turn. And Shao Jingque, the thorn in her side, hasn't been removed yet. Yesterday, she even offended a senior provincial official...
Qu Jingyun thought about going to Qingyun Temple in the suburbs today to worship the Buddha and burn incense to get rid of bad luck.
Liang Jinchun was not really relieved, but he could see that Secretary Wang did not want to help, and it would be a waste of time to keep wasting time and energy.
As he walked, he talked to Qu Jingyun with a frown, discussing whether to ask Qi Mingyuan to organize another dinner party, and then find an opportunity to formally apologize to Deputy Commander Peng. Otherwise, he would have to worry for at least the whole year.
Liang Jinchun said a few words to himself but received no response. Puzzled, he turned around and found that Qu Jingyun had dull eyes and was following him absent-mindedly like a wandering ghost. It was obvious that she didn't hear what he said at all.
Liang Jinchun was immediately furious. He was the only one so worried he couldn't sleep, while this troublemaker seemed to be staying out of it?!
"I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?!"
Suddenly, he heard a roar. The close distance almost scared Qu Jingyun to death, and he shivered unconsciously all over.
She looked up at Liang Jinchun, whose face was red with anger. She had no idea what he had just said and asked in confusion:
"Ah? Liang Tuan, what did you say? I was thinking about other things just now and didn't pay attention..."
Liang Jinchun was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot. How could he have such a deputy position?!
In terms of professional ability, they can't do anything, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing or dancing. In terms of management ability, there are endless incidents of lip-syncing, drugging and absconding from the crime in the group.
Even if we don’t talk about any abilities, at least people should have some emotional intelligence, right?
She made all the staff in the art troupe afraid of her, but she thought this showed her prestige in the troupe and was very proud of it.
Liang Jinchun was not unaware of these circumstances. If it weren't for the fact that the Qi family, the backer behind Qu Jingyun, had remained as stable as a rock and was growing stronger over the years, if he could afford to offend Qi Mingyuan, he would have fired Qu Jingyun first!
Liang Jinchun endured those things and didn't bother with her. The most fundamental reason was that these "misfortunes" were still within his control.
Now, Qu Jingyun has directly brought this up in front of the provincial leaders. This is like a hole in Liang Jinchun's sky. How can he fix it?!
Of course, we have to pull out the backers behind Qu Jingyun and think of a solution together. Of course, Qi Mingyuan has to take the blame for the trouble caused by his wife!
Considering that she still had to go to Qi Mingyuan to do something, Liang Jinchun suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"I say, go find your family's Lao Qi and ask him to think of a way to help set up another party and invite the provincial leaders to dinner. You can also formally apologize to Peng Tuan at the dinner table and put this matter to rest."
