The next morning, Xu Xiangyang first went to tell the old man about it.
Wang Zhongshan thought about it and indeed felt it was not quite appropriate.
"Okay, you keep an eye on it first. If it really doesn't work, we'll go visit them in person." He nodded in agreement.
Anyway, he had to get through the back door of his eldest grandson.
Seeing that Wang Zhongshan had agreed, Xu Xiangyang picked up his bag and went to work.
When he arrived, the office was empty; he was used to arriving early when he first joined the company.
This gives others the impression that you are hardworking, and hardworking people are never wrong.
After he arrived, he wiped the table. The cleaner came over and was quite surprised to see that he had tidied up by himself.
"You junior cadres can actually do this kind of work?" said a woman in her forties who was cleaning, without stopping her work.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "We're all serving the people, so why can't we do it?"
That's ridiculous. How can cadres be compared to janitors?
The aunt laughed when she heard his words, thinking that this young cadre was quite interesting.
Xu Xiangyang tidied his desk and then went out.
At this time, several more people came in from outside, but they were not from their secretariat.
He walked to a corner where there was an ashtray, lit a cigarette there, and began to puff away.
Just then, a man walked towards them, stopped, and lit a cigarette.
Xu Xiangyang's eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Mayor Gu."
This man is Mayor Gu, Gu Zhiliang, and Gu Panyun's father.
He turned his head and glanced at Xu Xiangyang, but he didn't recognize him. Xu was probably a minor official, so he didn't have any impression of him.
He nodded, then continued smoking.
Xu Xiangyang showed no other expression, stubbed out his cigarette, and left.
Clearly, Gu Zhiliang did not know him and had no recollection of him whatsoever.
Indeed, the two had never met except for that day at the meeting.
He wouldn't have recognized it if there hadn't been a sign at the meeting that day.
Xu Xiangyang was unaware that after he left, a familiar person walked towards Mayor Gu.
"Dad." Gu Panyun stood opposite Gu Zhiliang with a cold expression.
Compared to before, she no longer had her sweet smile; she had become cold, and her eyes had lost their light…
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhiliang couldn't help but frown. "Can you please stop this nonsense?"
He was also considering what others would think, otherwise he would have definitely taught his daughter a lesson.
What's going on? Her personality changed drastically for a gay man? Luckily, the two of them didn't get together, otherwise, if that gay man had asked Gu Panyun to set her house on fire, would she have agreed?
Gu Panyun didn't show much expression and said, "What is it? I have to go to work."
Ever since she learned that Xu Xiangyang had resigned, she hadn't been in a good mood. She had never seen this side of her parents before, and now that she had, her heart turned cold.
She just likes a boy, but things haven't even started, and she's already so resistant.
How could she not have feelings about being asked to associate with a complete stranger?
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhiliang was furious. He had raised his daughter for twenty years, and now she was so infatuated with a man that she was going against her family!
The family he found for her to marry into is even better off, isn't it? This little girl really doesn't know what's good for her!
"You'll meet with Qianxu from the Lu family in a little while." He spoke almost in a commanding tone.
This made Gu Panyun even more unable to accept it, and she coldly said, "Impossible!"
Of course she knew who Lu Qianxu was; he was her blind date, and she didn't want to meet him!
Gu Zhiliang gritted his teeth in anger. If it weren't for the fact that it was his daughter in front of him, he would have slapped her!
He scolded, "You brat, do you have to go against your father? I'm telling you, you're going today whether you like it or not! I won't tolerate your tantrums!"
He's growing increasingly disgusted with Xu Xiangyang, whom he's never met; he's never hated anyone so much before.
The child who used to be so obedient has turned out like this!
Gu Panyun didn't want to listen; she wanted to go back to work.
"Stop right there!" Gu Zhiliang frowned and pulled her over.
Then, turning to a young man approaching, he smiled and said, "Qianxu, you're here for work so early?"
The young man had short hair, was about 1.78 meters tall, and looked very energetic, but his eyes always revealed a restlessness.
Lu Qianxu smiled and nodded, "Uncle Gu, you're here early too."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Panyun beside him.
Gu Zhiliang quickly introduced, "This is my daughter, Gu Panyun."
"Pan Yun, call for someone."
What's your name?
Gu Panyun turned her head away, refusing to listen.
Gu Zhiliang was a little embarrassed; this child was really disobedient.
Lu Qianxu showed no sign of anger or displeasure. He smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Gu."
Without waiting for Gu Panyun's reply, he said directly to Gu Zhiliang, "Uncle Gu, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing." Gu Zhiliang nodded and watched him leave.
Although the two families are not on the same political line, his initiative to arrange a marriage this time was also to win over Lu Shuji.
Unfortunately, that brat is completely useless and always goes against him.
"You're so disobedient!" he said angrily.
Gu Panyun sneered, "Does marrying whomever you ask mean I'm obedient? I don't want that kind of obedience!"
Over the years, she has been too obedient, listening to her parents in everything, from what clothes to wear to what hairstyle to have.
The same applies to making friends; you can't associate with working-class people when you're in school.
That's called being obedient!
This is a puppet!
After Gu Panyun finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, ignoring the people calling her from behind.
Gu Zhiliang was furious; it was the first time he had ever seen his daughter so rebellious!
Fortunately, he heard from Zhang Caihua that they had already made things difficult for that Xu guy, so he let it go.
Don't let him touch it, or he'll be in big trouble.
Xu Xiangyang had no idea that Gu Zhiliang hated him now; he was currently helping his colleague organize documents.
He's always got a ton of work to do as soon as he gets to work; he's probably the busiest person in the entire office.
He handled almost all the trivial matters.
Xu Xiangyang didn't complain at all; he just did what he was supposed to do.
By the time he finished, it was already 10 a.m.
Everyone else had already gone out for a stroll, or sat there reading.
He got up and handed all the documents up, then sat in his seat in a daze.
He's gotten used to things these past few days, and now he thinks he should start thinking about moving up in the ranks.
However, it's not easy to get ahead here, especially under Cao Yajun.
Xu Xiangyang got up and went out for a smoke, and just then he saw Lu Shuji talking to a young man not far away.
Because of the distance, he couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all.
All I could see was that Lu Shuji's expression wasn't good, and his tone seemed unpleasant as well.
The young man opposite him had an indifferent attitude, which further angered Lu Shuji.
