"Miao Miao, I just mentioned you to Director Liang. Director Chen asked you to go to the cafeteria with us for a midnight snack. Would you like to go?"
Although Pei Guoan just agreed to Liang Zhenbang's words out of politeness, he did not mean to force Li Miaomiao, but asked for her opinion.
"Okay, I'm a little hungry right now. I wonder how the chef in your kitchen cooks?"
Li Miaomiao agreed immediately after hearing this. For her, this was not something to be embarrassed about. It was just a midnight snack. Although there should be a lot of people in the cafeteria at this time, who was she? She could go to the textile factory alone to solicit business in the provincial capital before. This was just a small event.
Pei Guoan didn't ask Li Miaomiao if she was afraid. It was obvious that he knew Li Miaomiao's nature very well. She was definitely not as weak and well-behaved as she looked. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get along well with the people on his side the first time she came. Even he didn't have that ability.
In the cafeteria, everyone was also talking about the arrival of Pei Guoan's wife.
"I don't know what kind of woman can be worthy of a man like Captain Pei."
"I heard that Captain Pei's wife is a country girl. After all, Captain Pei is originally from the countryside. But for a talent like Captain Pei, it's a pity to marry a country girl."
Even though this is the G Security Bureau, there are still people who are curious about gossip.
"Don't talk nonsense. We all met Captain Pei's wife today. She is a very beautiful and gentle girl, and she is a perfect match for Captain Pei."
"What's the point of being pretty? A man like Captain Pei should find someone who can help him in his career. No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she doesn't have the ability and ideas, she's nothing more than an accessory!"
The ten women who said this were quite bright-looking. They were dressed in uniforms and looked heroic. There was a bit of arrogance on their faces, and their tone clearly showed some disdain for housewives like Li Miaomiao.
"Captain Zhou, not everyone has such progressive ideas as you. Even if they do, they need to have the ability. Captain Pei's wife is just a country woman. How can she compare with you?" the man said in a flattering tone.
Zhou Shengnan had a smug look on her face, but she didn't look directly at the person who flattered her. Her eyes fell on the cafeteria door, and her eyes lit up when she saw Pei Guoan appear.
When he saw Li Miaomiao beside Pei Guoan, his eyes narrowed.
"See, I told you that Captain Pei's wife is so beautiful and kind. She's so well-behaved and gentle in front of Captain Pei. No wonder a man like Captain Pei falls for her gentle side. Look, as soon as my sister-in-law appears, the captain's eyes become softer and he no longer has a cold face."
As expected of someone from the G Security Bureau, he has excellent observation skills.
"I see, no matter how powerful a man is, he becomes soft and delicate when he meets a woman he likes. My sister-in-law is so beautiful. If I were Captain Pei, I would probably hold her in my hands and cherish her tenderly, not wanting to say a single harsh word."
"Will you guys shut up!"
Zhou Shengnan shouted with a gloomy face, shutting up the team members who were about to say something. They looked at each other and knew why Zhou Shengnan behaved like this.
Li Miaomiao followed Pei Guoan into the cafeteria. Facing everyone's curious and scrutinizing eyes, she still followed Pei Guoan with an obedient look, but with a hint of excitement and smile in her eyes. Especially when she saw a row of handsome guys in uniforms, it was really pleasing to the eye.
Pei Guoan originally wanted to comfort his wife. Although he knew her temper, it was her first time here. There were so many people in the cafeteria. But when he saw Li Miaomiao's fiery eyes, he calmly blocked her gaze which was admiring the handsome guy.
"Director Liang, this is my wife, Li Miaomiao."
Pei Guoan brought Li Miaomiao to Liang Zhenbang and introduced
"Hello, Director Liang, I am Pei Guoan's wife, Li Miaomiao." Li Miaomiao met Director Liang's kind eyes with a little girl's shyness.
However, Liang Zhenbang was not deceived by Li Miaomiao's appearance like everyone else.
As soon as the girl came in, her eyes rolled around, and she looked well-behaved and shy, but she was actually very calm and not panicked at all. However, her eyes were clear and bright, and she had a pure mind. Maybe because she was still young, she was a bit lively and naughty.
Liang Zhenbang had no idea that Li Miaomiao was such a uniform control freak. Originally, Li Miaomiao wanted to leave Liang Zhenbang with the impression that she was Pei Guoan's gentle and virtuous wife, but when she came in, there were so many handsome guys here that she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Comrade Li Miaomiao, I've heard of you a long time ago. I know you're a very capable woman who has made many contributions to your village."
"Director Liang, you're too kind. I'm just doing what I can. After all, I'm also a member of the village, and it's my duty to contribute to the village."
Li Miaomiao was not surprised that Liang Zhenbang knew about her situation. After all, Pei Guoan was his subordinate, and Liang Zhenbang would definitely investigate Pei Guoan's situation. Moreover, their Fanglin Village Soap Factory had a good reputation and fame. Few people in the county didn't know about the Fanglin Village Soap Workshop.
However, the others did not understand the situation and just thought that Liang Zhenbang valued Pei Guoan, so he said a few polite words to Li Miaomiao.
Zhou Shengnan obviously thought so too. She felt that Li Miaomiao was favored by Pei Guoan, which made Director Liang look at her differently. What contribution could a rural woman make? Even if she was beautiful, it was useless in the countryside. It would be better for her to have a lot of strength.
"Haha, Comrade Li Miaomiao is very modest. It's good for young people to be modest. Only by being neither arrogant nor impatient can you go further."
"Thank you Director Liang for your guidance. I will definitely remember your kind advice."
"Hahaha, when I heard about it, I thought it was impossible for a young girl to do that. I wondered if the rumors were exaggerated. Now that I see you in person, I believe it."
Although Li Miaomiao did not show much, Liang Zhenbang is a very good person. He was able to hold the position of director when he was just under 40 years old. He must have some vision for people.
Even Lin Kun, seeing Li Miaomiao like this, didn't feel comfortable targeting such a weak and well-behaved girl. The competition between him and Pei Guoan was a matter between them and there was no need to involve a woman.
After a midnight snack, Liang Zhenbang originally told them not to go back so late and asked Pei Guoan to book a room for Li Miaomiao in the guesthouse. After all, the conditions at the bureau were limited.
Pei Guoan also thought this arrangement was good, but Li Miaomiao disagreed.
"No, I still have to go back early. I'm worried about Xiaofan being home alone."
If there were no little one at home, Li Miaomiao wouldn't care where she lived, but now it's not possible.
"Didn't you say goodbye to your parents when you came out? If you didn't go back, your parents would definitely take Xiaofan with them." Pei Guoan had nothing to worry about. With his parents at home, he would definitely be able to take good care of the child.
