Dinner

When Liang Qingqing received the message from Tian Fengchun, she was completely confused. No way? The dinner we talked about last time was arranged so quickly?

Inexplicably, Liang Qingqing felt very uneasy, but she had to go to the dinner with her leader, so she could only go with trepidation.

The location was set at a famous state-owned hotel in the provincial capital, not far from the Radio Bureau. Liang Qingqing took three bus stops to get there. After reporting Tian Fengchun's name to the waiter, she was taken to the private room on the second floor.

She thought she came early, but she didn't expect to see three people as soon as she entered the door. She became the last person

to arrive. "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, it's not time yet, and everyone hasn't come yet. Come and sit down." Tian Fengchun waved at Liang Qingqing, motioning her to sit next to him.

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing noticed that there were two empty seats at the main table. The person who could sit above Tian Fengchun must be someone of high status. Could it be that her good friend hadn't arrived yet?

With a lot of questions in her mind, Liang Qingqing smiled and sat down below Tian Fengchun.

"Let me introduce you to this person. This is my good friend of many years, Director Ding Yunkun of the Education Bureau." Tian Fengchun stood up and introduced them to the two people.

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing's eyes widened slightly. Since Tian Fengchun's friend had arrived, who were the other two people? Before she could think about it, her body had already reacted. She stood up with Li Changguo, shook hands with Ding Yunkun respectively, and put on a decent smile on her lips: "Hello, Director Ding, my name is Liang Qingqing."

"Hello." Ding Yunkun had a pair of smiling eyes, looking amiable and approachable, without any airs at all, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. "The young are really promising. These young people all have ideals and a bright future. I feel happy just looking at them."

After chatting for a few words, Ding Yunkun suddenly changed the subject and cast his gaze towards Liang Qingqing, and asked Tian Fengchun, "Did you personally select this Comrade Liang from the local area?"

Seeing Tian Fengchun nod, Ding Yunkun's smile widened, "I often hear your words, old man. " The teacher mentioned you, and your performance at the party that day was even more remarkable. Who would have thought that you have only been in this industry for a month or two?"

Liang Qingqing was flattered and smiled lightly: "It's all because of the teacher's good teaching."

Ding Yunkun praised Li Changguo again. As the few people talked and laughed, they saw that the time was almost up, and Tian Fengchun suddenly lowered his voice, "It's not just Director Ding who praises you. Be smart later."

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing and Li Changguo looked at each other, and then retracted their gazes.

Not long after, the waiter's voice suddenly came from outside the door, mixed with a few steady footsteps. Listening to the movement, it seemed to be coming towards their private room. Everyone in the room looked at the door at the same time, and when the figure appeared, they all stood up.

"Comrade Fan!" Ding Yunkun smiled widely and took a few steps forward to greet him. Tian Fengchun followed closely behind. Liang Qingqing and Li Changguo knew that they were insignificant, so they did not act rashly. They just stood there and watched the leaders exchange greetings. After

the man entered the room, Liang Qingqing recognized him immediately. Their eyes met for a moment in mid-air. She lowered her head quickly, not daring to look any more. Her pupils shrank sharply and her heartbeat slowed down. He turned

out to be the big shot who sat in the center seat at the party that night.

In fact, she did not see his appearance clearly that night, but combined with Ding Yunkun's address to him and the vacancy of the main seat, it was not difficult to guess his identity.

She was right at the time. He was indeed very handsome. Even though the time was not kind to him, he was still gentle and elegant, with superior features and a majestic look. But why did he look more and more familiar? He was

from the capital, with the surname Fan and a high social status...

Liang Qingqing had a bad feeling in her heart that became stronger and stronger. She couldn't help but raise her head and secretly glance at him, but she didn't expect to run into his deep and calm eyes. There was exploration and scrutiny in them, as well as some other emotions. In short, she couldn't guess them all.

She swallowed her saliva, was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously clenched her palms.

Fortunately, he quickly took the lead in moving his eyes away and walked towards the main seat, as if the two of them looking at each other was just an unintentional coincidence.

"Please sit down. Waiter, bring the menu." Tian Fengchun asked everyone to sit down first. The waiter quickly brought the menu. "Take a look at what you want to eat?"

As soon as she handed over the menu, Zhu Weiqing on the side blocked the menu halfway and grinned, "Our leader is not picky about food, and he doesn't know much about the cuisine here. You guys order."

Tian Fengchun also laughed, but thought about this sentence several times in her heart, and then tentatively said, "Then how about some of this restaurant's signature dishes?"

"Okay." Zhu Weiqing narrowed his eyes, then took the initiative to stand up and pour everyone a cup of tea. "We are all acquaintances, so let's not drink today." They

had only met twice in total, so what kind of acquaintances were they?

Zhu Weiqing's lie with his eyes open was pure and innocent, without any guilt, but he was the first person around Fan Fangming, and what he meant was what Fan Fangming meant. Of course, they would not have any objection, not to mention that the word "acquaintance" invisibly brought them closer.

Why not do a good thing?

Liang Qingqing sat silently in her seat listening to them talk. She seemed calm on the surface, but she was actually panicking inside. Her fingertips hidden under the table kept digging into her palms, trying to calm down.

But the expected difficulties did not come, and even until the end of the meal, the topic did not lead to her at all.

"Let's make an appointment next time when we have time. We'll leave first." Zhu Weiqing stood next to the car and opened the door for Fan Fangming.

"Okay."

Watching the car disappear around the corner of the street, Tian Fengchun looked back at Li Changguo and Liang Qingqing, frowning slightly. The nobles' minds were as deep as the sea. After the meal, she was still confused and couldn't guess what they were up to.

They said they came for a purpose, but they talked about other things and talked about some irrelevant family matters. But if they said they had no purpose, why did they organize a dinner and specifically ask her to bring Li Changguo and Liang Qingqing?

Could it be that they had nothing to do?

Not only Tian Fengchun couldn't figure it out, but everyone else was also confused. Only Liang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She didn't care what Fan Fangming's purpose was, as long as he didn't make things difficult for her and set a trap for her.

But whether or not to tell Fan Yanxing about this matter became a difficult question. After thinking about it, she decided to tell him. After all, they had agreed not to hide anything from each other.

After making up her mind, Liang Qingqing planned to bring up this matter the next time Fan Yanxing called her.

*

The car was driving steadily on the road. Zhu Weiqing looked through the rearview mirror at Fan Fangming, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke, "What do you think of Comrade Liang?"

Hearing this, Fan Fangming slowly opened his eyes, but did not immediately answer Zhu Weiqing's question. He rested his hands on the car window, gently pressing his forehead with his fingertips, and then said, "Why do I think it's not important?"

The important thing is that Fan Yanxing thinks she is very good, even to the point of marrying her.

When Fan Fangming thought of the words that the rebellious son said in the guesthouse that day, he was so angry that his heart ached, and his hands couldn't help but move a little harder.

Zhu Weiqing saw everything and said hesitantly: "Since Comrade Fan is stubborn, why don't I go find Comrade Liang?"

She, a young female comrade, would always give up when faced with difficulties, using both coercion and inducement, and soft and hard tactics.

Before Zhu Weiqing finished speaking, she was interrupted by Fan Fangming, who frowned unhappily and said in a cold voice: "What did that female comrade do wrong? Who would we be if we went to find her?"

He came to have this meal today just because he was curious about what kind of girl Fan Yanxing liked so much. He didn't want to do anything else, let alone use any tricks on her.

Thinking of that pretty and obedient face, Fan Fangming frowned even more deeply. Coincidences in this world always happen unexpectedly. He never thought that the female host who impressed him at the party that day was actually the girl Fan Yanxing liked.

He would like her, he was not surprised, after all, who wouldn't like her?

"I misunderstood." Zhu Weiqing touched his nose, coughed lightly and asked, "Then let's just ignore this matter?"

"Intervene? He's grown powerful now, what can I do about it?" Fan Fangming raised a sarcastic arc at his lips. Zhu Weiqing didn't dare to respond. Fortunately, Fan Fangming didn't intend to discuss with him whether he could intervene in this matter. Instead, he said, "Tell me, is it wrong for parents to consider their children?"

"Of course you are right. Comrade Fan doesn't understand these principles now, but he will naturally understand your good intentions in the future." Zhu Weiqing smiled, his back was almost soaked with cold sweat.

Fan Fangming looked out the window, "He told me that marriage is a matter between two people, and he doesn't want to spend his life marrying a woman he doesn't like."

"Whether you like someone or not is determined by how you get along with each other. You and your wife were a strong match at the time. After so many years, you are still very loving." Zhu Weiqing has been with Fan Fangming for many years, and he knows all these things.

But even though he said that, the bitterness and suffering in it are not something that outsiders can know.

Fan Fangming closed his eyes and thought about the time when he and Qu Qingying just got married. The two of them treated each other with respect and rarely spoke to each other. It's better to say that they were partners than husband and wife, and they just lived together. But later, slowly, they fell in love with each other, and their relationship changed.

Now when he is busy and doesn't go home for a day, his wife will call him.

I have to say that he still likes the present time more.

One should put oneself in others' shoes and not impose on others what one does not want others to do to you. Yanxing is his son. Can he really bear to force him to follow his old path? If so, will he hate himself for the rest of his life?

Moreover, although the female comrade has a poor background, she is hardworking and excellent enough. Seeing Deputy Director Tian's attitude towards her, he admires and values ​​her even more.

Judging from their current positions, his son is not even as good as her.

"Go to Daping Village tomorrow and tell them that I want to see his sincerity."

Zhu Weiqing was full of questions. What sincerity? He thought it was just another mystery between the father and son, so he decided not to ask any more questions. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
