Xu Xiangyang's words made Xu Guangtian's heart pound wildly.
They must know something, otherwise why would they say that?
However, he was still feeling guilty, so he didn't say anything and just pretended not to hear.
Xu Xiangyang knew he had heard, but he didn't go too far.
Anyway, I've already given him the warnings he needed to. If he keeps showing off, then don't blame me for not giving him any face.
He wasn't being nosy, but Wang Xiumin was already struggling to raise two children.
This father and husband not only doesn't care about their children, but they also go out and show off. They're really carefree.
The two of them didn't speak to each other on the way home, and after buying the groceries, they went home one after the other.
Xu Xiangyang ignored him, and Xu Guangtian, feeling guilty, dared not utter a word.
Back home, Xu Guangtian ate his meal and then stayed inside the house, not going out at all.
Wang Xiumin handed the child to him, saying, "You won't even help me look after the child? So this child is mine alone?"
She rolled her eyes, then turned around and went out to help Grandma Wang clear the dishes.
Feeling guilty, Xu Guangtian said nothing this time and simply held and comforted the child.
Xu Xiangyang naturally heard their conversation and then went straight back to his bedroom.
Anyway, he's said what he needed to say; whether he listens or not is his own business.
He can't just keep watching, can he?
However, if Xu Guangtian had any sense of shame, he would have learned his lesson. After all, if he actually did something like that, it would definitely be discovered.
Don't end up losing everything!
He thought about it and realized that the woman he met with Xu Guangtian today seemed to be a widow.
Not only does he have three children, but he also flirts with this person and argues with that person at work. He's not a respectable person.
Indeed, what respectable person would pull something like this?
Xu Xiangyang didn't think it was entirely the woman's fault. After all, flies don't land on eggs without cracks, and maybe Xu Guangtian just went for it himself!
He got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. This person was really ungrateful!
never mind……
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang dressed neatly and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Today was the day he and Cao Yajun had arranged to meet.
He can't be late, can he? He can't keep people waiting.
However, even though he arrived very early, others had already come long before him.
"Secretary Cao, you're here so early?" He walked over and greeted him.
Cao Yajun smiled and said, "Let's go after talking with Fangjun for a while?"
He deliberately arrived a little early so he could chat with Shen Fangjun.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and then followed.
The two took the shuttle bus to the small courtyard they had visited before, where Ma Xinping had held a party last time.
There was no one in the courtyard this time. After they entered the house, they saw Fatty Lu and Ma Xinping chatting.
After greeting everyone, Cao Yajun looked around and asked, "Comrade Wu isn't here?"
He was referring to Wu Yongqi, the person who cooked at the last gathering.
Ma Xinping sighed and said, "Wu Yongqi is away on a business trip. He'll probably be getting married soon when he gets back."
"marry?"
The others were a little confused, but considering that he was in his early twenties, getting married was perfectly normal.
“I heard his dad arranged a blind date for him, but we didn’t ask too many questions,” Ma Xinping said. “We’re going to eat at the state-run restaurant later. I have something to discuss with him today.”
Xu Xiangyang listened with some curiosity. Generally speaking, you can talk in state-run restaurants, and there are other places too.
Of course, perhaps they were afraid of being overheard, since it's not exactly a private place outside.
Walls have ears!
Ma Xinping crossed his legs and said, "I recently saw that the new city planning project is about to start, but it hasn't been decided yet whether it will be given to Director Gu or Director Liao."
"But I heard that Liao Shizhang has a better chance, probably about the same. He usually has a very good work attitude and is very proactive. The higher-ups think highly of him. If he does well this time, he might be promoted again within five years."
Everyone agrees with this statement; in terms of work ability, Liao Shizhang is very strong. He is diligent and hardworking, and rarely does anything shady.
After saying that, Ma Xinping looked at Xu Xiangyang and said, "Secretary Xu, aren't you working with Director Liao now? You'd better work hard! Your future is limitless."
They all envied Xu Xiangyang, not for any other reason than that he was very lucky.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, but a sense of unease rose in his heart. After all, judging from their tone, they already knew about these things. So, was there something fishy about Cao Yajun recommending him to be Liao Shichang's secretary?
He didn't think much about it at the moment; the most important thing now was to get more information, and he would think about the rest when he got home.
Fatty Lu, standing to the side, said, "Ma Xinping, your dad's in charge of this project, right? What benefits are there? We're all brothers, don't hold back!"
He was all smiles and spoke without any restraint, as if it were a joke.
Ma Xinping rolled his eyes. "Come on, if I knew, would I not tell you? My stubborn husband won't tell me anything, he treats this like a secret, afraid that the family will find out. He's so wary of his own family, and I didn't even know."
He wasn't lying. Ma Shuji hadn't been eating dinner at home lately and was rarely home.
Fatty Lu didn't ask any more questions. You can't keep asking about these things; people will tell you what they want to say if they want to.
Cao Yajun remained silent until the very end, when he finally said, "This is something we should only talk about here; don't go around spreading rumors."
Even without his prompting, everyone else knew what was going on. If others found out who said those words, it wouldn't be as simple as losing their job.
It's not about whose father is more powerful.
Xu Xiangyang didn't hear any useful information, but he learned that the project was managed by Ma Xinping's father, and there were several other people in charge, though the specifics hadn't been finalized.
But Liao Shichang has the best chance, that's about it.
After they finished talking, they went to the state-run restaurant for dinner. Today, Fatty Lu was treating them because the head chef was a relative of his, so the meal was free.
Xu Xiangyang thought to himself, "Eating at a government-run restaurant doesn't even cost me anything? It's true what they say, having connections in high places makes things much easier!"
Although there were only four dishes in this meal, it would have cost at least four or five yuan.
Tsk tsk tsk...
Xu Xiangyang suddenly realized that it was better to know more people; it made things much easier!
After the group separated, he stood on the street for a while.
From their conversation, Xu Xiangyang understood something.
The reason why Gu Shizhang wanted to target Liao Shizhang was probably because of the project.
Otherwise, if the two people have clearly defined roles and keep to themselves, there's no need to argue.
But last time, it was because of the project.
Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips. Although he didn't know the specifics, Liao Shi's recovery was good for him.
Then you have to help the boss!
