Back at the construction site, he didn't go to see Director Ma again.
I'm going to see Zhou Tianyi's bicycle again tomorrow, so I'll have to come back again.
When Xu Xiangyang returned to the project team that evening, before he could even go upstairs, Cao Yajun came downstairs to greet him.
"Just got back?" Cao Yajun greeted him first.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I just got back. Are you going to eat?"
It was lunchtime, so everyone headed towards the cafeteria.
He's had a lot of stomach upset today, so he doesn't want to eat. If he gets hungry tonight, he can eat in his space.
Cao Yajun responded, "Yes, I'll go first."
After saying that, the man left.
Xu Xiangyang went upstairs to change his clothes, then took a shower, and poured out a basin of dirty water.
They usually just go through the motions, pretending to wipe themselves down or wash their hair. Otherwise, it's really puzzling how they can be so clean when they're running around the construction site every day.
He sat down in the chair and picked up some documents to look at. The garment factory is now just waiting for the fall to finish, then they'll do some more work next year, and they should be able to start recruiting by the end of next year.
At this moment, Cao Yajun walked in from the door and sat down on the chair next to him.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at him and said, "You haven't been to the city lately?"
"I went. I went this morning." Cao Yajun's voice was somewhat indifferent.
This startled Xu Xiangyang, who was standing nearby. He wondered what was going on. It was just a casual question, so why was the attitude so strange?
Then, without revealing his intentions, he said, "I saw Comrade Shen when I went to the city last time. When are you two going to get things done?"
Although we already knew they were getting married, there was no word on when the wedding would be held.
At this time, it was not customary to hold grand celebrations, so it was just a formality.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him, but found that Cao Yajun's eyes were a little strange.
He steadied himself and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cao Yajun remained silent, simply staring at the person opposite him.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Secretary Xu, are you asking about me?"
He spoke in a calm tone, but his manner was unfriendly.
Xu Xiangyang's heart skipped a beat. The moment Qian Wenqing came to deliver the message, the other party already knew he was inquiring?
That's right, he had previously instructed Qian Wenqing and the others to investigate Cao Yajun.
The purpose, of course, is to investigate this person's background.
Xu Xiangyang has never liked being completely ignorant of the people around him, especially Cao Yajun, who always has that unfathomable quality.
This made him uneasy; he had to find out the truth, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
But when questioned by the authorities this time, he almost slipped up.
Thoughts take only a moment.
Xu Xiangyang remained calm and asked with a puzzled look, "What are you asking about?"
"You mean marriage? I've seen you and Shen Fangjun dating for quite a while now, and..." he continued with a grin, "You two didn't just have a simple meeting last time, did you?"
He was all smiles, showing no sign of guilt, and even made fun of people.
Cao Yajun looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "We've already registered our marriage, and we definitely have to get married, but we'll have to wait and see. Work is the most important thing right now."
This time, he didn't try to intimidate people with his imposing manner, but instead relaxed a little.
Xu Xiangyang remained vigilant and said, "Remember to let me know, I'm going to give two gifts, and of course, the meal will also be for two people!"
He seemed completely at ease, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual.
After exchanging a few words, Cao Yajun made an excuse that it was getting late and went back to sleep.
Xu Xiangyang saw him to the door and then closed it.
As the door closed, both of their expressions turned cold.
Xu Xiangyang turned his head to look at the wooden door, while Cao Yajun, who had walked a few steps outside the door, also stopped and turned to look at the door.
After staring at it for two minutes, Cao Yajun continued downstairs.
Xu Xiangyang, who was inside the house, could naturally hear the footsteps; in such a quiet environment at night, they were easy to hear.
He slowly exhaled.
Although he didn't know why Cao Yajun was so well-informed, Xu Xiangyang knew that they were still too immature.
Even the things I asked about got noticed!
He felt a little heavy-hearted. This afternoon, Qian Wenqing came over and told him about Cao Yajun's general situation.
His situation was far more complex than it appeared on the surface. After hearing these details, Xu Xiangyang roughly deduced that this person's purpose was probably too dangerous.
Even Lu Shuji could be one of his pawns.
Xu Xiangyang, however, was unaware of Cao Yajun's self-perception. Perhaps, he wasn't even worthy of being considered a pawn?
He turned off the lights, entered the space, and then slowly sat down while drinking tea.
It seems that Cao Yajun is also using Lu Shuji in order to become the head of the cerium or an equivalent position within ten years.
It must be said that this person is not only bold, but also has some tricks up his sleeve.
Thinking about the information Qian Wenqing mentioned at the end, he had a further guess.
However, it is too early to draw a conclusion; further investigation is needed.
However, Cao Yajun is now on guard, and it will probably be difficult to conduct an investigation without anyone noticing.
This matter needs careful consideration; we can't rush it.
Xu Xiangyang wanted to investigate these things simply to find some leverage and, incidentally, to learn more about this person.
Otherwise, he really couldn't bear to cooperate with this person, otherwise he would end up being eaten alive, with not even bones left.
Unfortunately, before we've found any leverage, we've already alerted the enemy.
"Sigh..." Xu Xiangyang sighed. Human nature is indeed complicated.
On the other side, Cao Yajun, with a complex expression, sat at his desk, drinking baijiu and staring straight ahead.
He frowned, recalling Xu Xiangyang's every move just now.
Unfortunately, no flaws were found.
But he couldn't believe that Xu Xiangyang had no reservations about him at all.
After spending a lot of time together, Cao Yajun could get a general idea of what kind of person the other was.
I wouldn't say I know it perfectly, but I'm not far off either.
Xu Xiangyang is not just a young and naive person on the surface; his true nature should not be overlooked because of his age.
Although Cao Yajun had no evidence that Xu Xiangyang had investigated him, he could vaguely guess that it was definitely not that simple.
Now he not only has to be careful of other people, but also has to be wary of Xu Xiangyang.
Having already reached this point, he had no intention of starting all over again.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang greeted Cao Yajun as usual.
Neither of them mentioned what happened last night again, as if it had never occurred.
Xu Xiangyang began to be wary. He wasn't afraid of the enemy's loud and boisterous behavior, but he was afraid of those who acted as if nothing was wrong.
Who knows when they might suddenly start causing trouble? It feels like there's no way to defend against them.
However, he was not afraid of Cao Yajun. Compared to the difference between the two of them, Cao Yajun cherished his position more.
As for Xu Xiangyang, he's just a lowly secretary; it doesn't matter whether he stays or not. At worst, he can go back and rely on his connections to retire.
