Leng Hongyan was shocked. When he saw that it was Lu Xiaoyang, he smiled and replied, "Hello, Xiaoyang. Did you go to the secretary's house? "
"My boss asked me to go home to get the charger. He's still busy with work. Where are you going, Mayor Leng? " Lu Xiaoyang pretended to ask casually as he tried to look into the car. He probably wanted to see who was driving. After all, this was not Leng Hongyan's car. It was an office car. Lu Xiaoyang could still recognize this car.
Lu Xiaoyang could not see the situation in the car, but Liu Lihai could see Lu Xiaoyang's movements. He saw Lu Xiaoyang's expression and could not help but laugh. However, he still walked out of the car. He looked at Lu Xiaoyang and said, "Good evening, Secretary. Do you want to see if I have become more handsome? "
Although Liu Lihai's words were said jokingly, it was enough to make Lu Xiaoyang feel uncomfortable. He did not expect Liu Lihai to ask him so directly. He could only laugh and said, "Director Liu is always the representative of beauties. You are handsome whether I look at you or not."
"You two can stop arguing. I'm in a hurry." Leng Hongyan said with a smile.
"Where are you going in a hurry, Mayor Leng?" Lu Xiaoyang seemed to be unsatisfied if he did not ask something.
"We are going to see a boss who just came back from Taiwan." When Leng Hongyan wanted to reply to Lu Xiaoyang, Liu Lihai spoke first.
"Alright then. I won't disturb you anymore. You guys are busy." Lu Xiaoyang chuckled again and gestured for Liu Lihai to drive away first.
Liu Lihai said, "Mayor Leng, please get in the car. Let's go. "
"Okay." Leng Hongyan responded and got into the car. He then rolled down the window and waved at Lu Xiaoyang. Lu Xiaoyang also waved back as a response. However, he muttered in his heart, 'Where are these two going? You've just arrived in Jingjiang, and you're already so ostentatious? Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful. If only she had left Wu Haotian's house earlier. Then she could have secretly taken a few photos behind them. This was a great opportunity to promote her boss.
Lu Xiaoyang watched as Liu Lihai drove away. Liu Lihai kept looking at Lu Xiaoyang from the rearview mirror until Lu Xiaoyang became a small black dot and disappeared. Only then did Liu Lihai stop looking.
Leng Hongyan asked from behind, "Why are you so nervous?"
"Sister, I'm not nervous. I'm just wondering what kind of tricks Lu Xiaoyang wants to play," Liu Lihai replied.
"What tricks can he play? All these years, he is still a secretary. When he dies of old age, he will probably go to some bureau and enjoy the benefits of a deputy division chief. What's there to compare with this kind of person? "Leng Hongyan's tone was full of disdain.
"Sister, Lu Xiaoyang is full of tricks. He hasn't gone to any bureau yet. It is said that Wu Haotian is reluctant to let him go, not because of his ability. He is deeply favored by Wu Haotian." Liu Lihai argued.
"How do you know about this?" Leng Hongyan asked curiously. She had been back in Jingjiang for a longer time than Liu Lihai, and she did not know about this situation. Also, Yao Haidong did not mention anything about Lu Xiaoyang to her. She thought that this person was just a secretary.
"Old Master Yang told me." Liu Lihai replied to Leng Hongyan truthfully.
"You got into the role very quickly. This is really different from when you went to Lin County a few years ago." Leng Hongyan did not know if he was mocking Liu Lihai or really praising him. Because Liu Lihai was driving, he could not see her expression, and he could not hear anything from her tone.
"The big secretary is still waiting for the good news from our side. Of course, I have to devote myself to it." Liu Lihai smiled and said.
"But don't forget the old saying that you have to be strong to forge the iron." Leng Hongyan suddenly said.
"Sister, what do you mean?" Liu Lihai was a little puzzled. Why did Leng Hongyan say this?
"I asked you to call me Mayor Leng. Why don't you remember? Don't get involved with women. If Lu Xiaoyang catches you, you will be in trouble. "Leng Hongyan took the opportunity to knock Liu Lihai down.
So that's why. Alas, women are women after all. What they can't forget are those trivial matters of the heart. Liu Lihai wanted to sigh, but he did not dare to do so. He had to swallow his unsightly breath. It was a very unpleasant feeling, but no matter how unpleasant it was, it couldn't be more tiring than dealing with Lu Xiaoyang and Hu Guoan.
While they were talking, they arrived at the dormitory building of the Agriculture Bureau. Leng Hongyan did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he called his old leader. When the call went through, Leng Hongyan introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Yan. I am Leng Hongyan. Can I pay you a visit? "
"Oh, it's Little Leng. I heard that you have returned to Jingjiang to be the mayor. I didn't expect you to still remember this old man. Come on, come on. I'm at home. " Mr. Yan responded to Leng Hongyan warmly. He did not expect this female mayor to visit him so soon after she came to Jingjiang.
After Leng Hongyan hung up the phone, she got out of the car. But she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Liu Lihai and said, "Go buy some fruits. It's not right to visit your old leader empty-handed."
"Yes, yes. How could I forget about this?" Liu Lihai replied as if he was blaming himself. He turned and walked out of the courtyard.
"Aren't you driving?" Leng Hongyan asked from behind.
"I saw a fruit shop outside the courtyard when I was driving. It's at the entrance. Mayor Leng, wait for me. "Liu Lihai had to address him as Mayor Leng again.
Leng Hongyan did not say anything, but her eyes still swept around. She was nervous because of what Liu Lihai said in the car. If Lu Xiaoyang was following them, would he guess something?
Leng Hongyan did not notice anything strange. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. When Liu Lihai came with the fruits, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you notice someone following us?"
"Do you suspect that Lu Xiaoyang is following us?" Liu Lihai asked.
"Didn't you say that he is a cunning person? He must not believe that we are working. It's very likely that he wants to take photos of us. "Leng Hongyan walked forward and said in a low voice.
"No, I won't," Liu Lihai replied.
"Why?" Leng Hongyan felt strange that Liu Lihai answered her so decisively.
"Because, first of all, he was indeed holding the charger for his boss. Second, when I was driving, I kept looking at him through the rearview mirror. He stood there without moving. He must be wondering what we were going to do and why we didn't come out earlier. He used his phone to take a picture of us walking together," Liu Lihai explained.
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at in a new light. Sure enough, your analysis is logical. It seems that you have improved a lot in the past few years. " Leng Hongyan was definitely praising Liu Lihai this time because she also felt that what Liu Lihai said was very reasonable. If Lu Xiaoyang wanted to follow them, he would not have stood still. He was indeed holding the charger in his hand, which proved that he went to Boss Wu's house temporarily. Moreover, Boss Wu was in a hurry to get the charger.
"Thank you for your praise, Mayor Leng." Liu Lihai said politely. His intention was to show a kind of etiquette in public, but when these words fell into Leng Hongyan's ears, why did it become so uncomfortable? She wanted to say something, but she did not know how to start. She was the one who asked him to call her Mayor Leng. Now that he called her Mayor Leng, and it was business etiquette, she felt uncomfortable again. Sigh, what is going on?
Fortunately, they arrived at the Yan family's house. Leng Hongyan walked in front, and she took the initiative to knock on the door. Soon, the door opened. Obviously, Senior Yan was waiting near the door.
When Senior Yan saw Leng Hongyan, he enthusiastically reached out to hold her hand and said, "Little Leng is still so beautiful."
After Senior Yan said that, he realized that there was a young man behind him. He thought that it was Leng Hongyan's driver, so he said, "Director, please sit."
Liu Lihai did not explain and said with a smile, "Hello, Senior Yan."
However, Leng Hongyan pointed at Liu Lihai and said to Senior Yan, "Senior Yan, this is not my driver. He is the director of the Jingjiang Government Office, Comrade Liu Lihai. He is a top student who graduated from a famous university in Beijing."
Liu Lihai didn't think that Leng Hongyan would praise him like this in front of Elder Yan. His face immediately burned up and he appeared a bit embarrassed. He could only chuckle and say, "I'm not a top student anymore."
"Young man, you are so promising. Come, sit, sit." Senior Yan pointed to the sofa, and then rushed into the room to call his wife to come out and entertain the guests.
Leng Hongyan quickly stopped Senior Yan and said, "Senior Yan, don't be so polite. Xiao Liu and I are here today to ask you about something. We hope to receive your help and guidance. "
Senior Yan did not expect that after a few years, Leng Hongyan, who relied on his underground relationship with Song Lihai to become so humble. He couldn't help but say, "Little Leng, if there is anything you need, just tell me. As long as this old bag of bones can be used, I will be happy to help."
As soon as Grandpa Yan finished speaking, Liu Lihai took out a handful of rice from his bag and handed it to Grandpa Yan with both hands. Grandpa Yan didn't understand and took the rice, but when he looked at it seriously, he asked in surprise: "Where did this come from?"
Leng Hongyan did not say anything, so Liu Lihai quickly said, "Senior Yan, is this genetically modified rice?"
"Yes. Where did this come from? "Senior Yan asked again.
"This is from Lin Village. I saw something different in the afternoon, so I picked some. When I came back to report to Mayor Leng, she said that Senior Yan had been researching rice for many years, so he could tell whether it was genetically modified or not. So, we wanted to confirm it. "Liu Lihai briefly explained the situation.
"When I was the director of the agriculture bureau, I was always very cautious about the rice seeds in Jingjiang. I did not expect that the genetically modified seeds would be brought to Jingjiang. Sigh, these days, as long as there is money to be made, these people will do anything. " Senior Yan became more and more agitated as he spoke. His wife came out of the room, and seeing Senior Yan so agitated, she quickly said, "Old man, you said that you don't care about the outside world, why are you worrying about it again? There are many strange things in the world, can you even worry about them all? "
Senior Yan's wife was obviously very dissatisfied with the arrival of Leng Hongyan and Liu Lihai. She did not even take the initiative to greet them.
Leng Hongyan took the initiative to stand up, looked at Senior Yan's wife and said, "This is Big Sister, right?"
Senior Yan said with some embarrassment, "She is like this, sharp tongue but soft heart. Little Leng, don't take it to heart."
