Ma Yingjie still approached Situ Lan, and the expression on his face changed into a flattering smile. But the more Ma Yingjie acted like this, the more Situ Lan's heart felt like it was hit by something. Ma Yingjie's expression was telling her that he cared about the girl behind him, and that he cared about being hurt by her. He didn't have such an expression on Yang Weiwei. In Yang Weiwei, Ma Yingjie only had thoughts, and thoughts were fleeting and derived from the existence of the environment. But now, Ma Yingjie didn't have this expression. His flattery could only mean one thing: he cared about her and felt guilty.
Situ Lan didn't want to pick her up at the airport, but she was restless at home. The more she told herself not to think about who Ma Yingjie's woman was, the more she would imagine what the woman who went on a business trip with Ma Yingjie looked like. A woman's appearance, in addition to attracting men, attracted women more often. There were not many women who wouldn't use beautiful and elegant women as a standard to decorate themselves. Now, although Situ Lan wouldn't use Wang Dandan as a standard, she still felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Yes, Wang Dandan was young, Wang Dandan was like a clear spring, and Wang Dandan didn't have an imposing manner. She was a bird-like woman. How many men wouldn't like such a lovey-dovey lover?
"Sister Lan," Ma Yingjie greeted Situ Lan respectfully. Wang Dandan, who was behind him, seemed to notice Situ Lan. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she smiled at Situ Lan unnaturally.
Situ Lan walked past Ma Yingjie and asked Wang Dandan with a smile, "Are you Director Wang?"
Wang Dandan was even more embarrassed when she said "Director Wang", and she was also wondering who this woman was. However, she still replied to Situ Lan and said, "I'm not the bureau chief yet. I'm just an acting bureau chief. However, this small bureau chief position is negligible in Beijing."
Situ Lan chuckled. Ma Yingjie was afraid that Situ Lan would be angry, so he quickly said, "Director Wang graduated from the Tourism College."
"Talented girl." Situ Lan praised him and turned to walk forward. Ma Yingjie smiled at Wang Dandan and signaled her to follow. But Wang Dandan was puzzled. Who was this woman? Ma Yingjie was obviously afraid of this woman.
Situ Lan walked towards the carpark. As the underground carpark was huge and it was hard to tell which direction to go, Ma Yingjie was afraid that Wang Dandan might fall behind, so he asked her to walk in the middle and follow Situ Lan closely. Situ Lan pretended that she didn't know what happened behind them, but her heart was filled with jealousy. Only then did she realize that she was really stingy. Perhaps all the women she loved were so stingy.
Situ Lan didn't want to think deeply, but she had to think deeply. She refused to look back until she approached her car. This time, Situ Lan was driving a BMW.
Ma Yingjie walked very slowly on purpose. He was afraid that Situ Lan would throw the car key in front of him again. If that happened, his relationship with Situ Lan would be easily exposed by Wang Dandan, which was something he was extremely unwilling to do.
Situ Lan went into the car first, which made Ma Yingjie feel relieved. He quickly opened the door of the back seat and sat down. He signaled Wang Dandan to sit on the other side. He didn't dare to open the door for Wang Dandan again and let her sit in the car. If he did that, Situ Lan would probably be angry again.
Ma Yingjie realized that he really shouldn't have brought Wang Dandan here. He was just worried that Wang Dandan would be more familiar with the whole event so that she could have a better grasp of it. He didn't think about Situ Lan. Besides, he thought that Situ Lan wouldn't be in the mood to pick them up, but she still came. Her coming proved that she cared. The more she cared, the more Ma Yingjie had to take care of her emotions.
After getting in the car, Wang Dandan was still very sensible. She didn't say a word to Ma Yingjie. Instead, Situ Lan said in front of them, "We have an appointment with the leader of the choir and the chief music conductor in the evening. Except for the reception fee, we won't take a cent of the performance fee. It's a kind of respect for the revolutionary people in the old area."
"That's great. Thank you, Sister Lan. " Ma Yingjie replied excitedly. Until this moment, Ma Yingjie didn't plan to tell Wang Dandan who Situ Lan was. Fortunately, Wang Dandan was a girl who didn't meddle in other people's business. She was quiet and didn't ask anything. She just stayed there quietly.
Situ Lan didn't talk to Ma Yingjie anymore. She kept driving. Ma Yingjie didn't ask where they were going. Once they arrived in Beijing, Situ Lan would naturally arrange everything. Ma Yingjie was absolutely assured of this.
Situ Lan drove to Houhai. Ma Yingjie didn't find it strange. The bars here were not worse than Sanlitun. Moreover, the people in the choir all played music, so the atmosphere in Houhai was probably more suitable. Thinking about it, every time Situ Lan arranged the venue, she was very attentive. Because of this, Ma Yingjie felt a surge of warmth and gratitude. However, with Wang Dandan around, Ma Yingjie didn't express anything.
The place where they were eating was very close to the bar street. After eating, they would probably go to the bar to play. Therefore, Situ Lan chose this place. This was Ma Yingjie's guess. He didn't ask. After getting out of the car, Situ Lan still walked in front. Wang Dandan naturally followed closely behind her. Ma Yingjie walked at the back. In a restaurant on the water, Ma Yingjie saw the leader of the choir. He was a northeasterner. He was 1.8 meters tall and his hair was combed to the back. This made Ma Yingjie think of a saying: If a man wants to do well, his hair should be combed to the back. In contrast to the leader, the music conductor was very short. He was less than 1.7 meters tall. He had a head of long hair and was very artistic. When the two of them stood together, the difference in perspective was quite eye-catching. However, this kind of combination was probably considered a scenery for the choir. That was what Ma Yingjie thought.
When Situ Lan appeared, the leader took the initiative to greet her. Situ Lan introduced on behalf of Ma Yingjie and said, "Leader Liu, this is Qin County's Deputy Mayor, Comrade Ma Yingjie." Ma Yingjie quickly reached out to shake Leader Liu's hand and said, "Hello, Leader Liu." Then, Situ Lan pointed to Chief Commander and said, "This is Chief Commander Qian." Ma Yingjie reached out to shake Chief Commander Qian's hand and said, "Hello, Chief Commander Qian."
However, Situ Lan didn't introduce Wang Dandan. Wang Dandan stood at the side with an awkward expression on her face. When Ma Yingjie saw this, he quickly pointed to Leader Liu and Chief Commander Qian and said, "This is Chief Wang from our Qin County's Tourism Bureau. If the two of you have any specific thoughts and plans today, you can communicate and discuss with Chief Wang."
Actually, Leader Liu saw Wang Dandan at first glance. However, since Situ Lan didn't introduce her, he couldn't take the initiative to ask her, right? If he did, it would be a little too much. Now that Ma Yingjie introduced her, he was much more enthusiastic than Chief Commander Qian and took the initiative to shake Wang Dandan's hand. Wang Dandan was pushed in front of everyone by Ma Yingjie. She was both grateful and a little shy. Her face was red and she looked even cuter. This made Leader Liu want to protect her. Especially when he held Wang Dandan's small hand. It was smooth and soft as if it didn't have any bones. He couldn't help but hold it a little more until Situ Lan said, "Let's talk while we eat." Only then did he let go of Wang Dandan's hand. This made Wang Dandan nervous. This wasn't Qin County. Although she could easily introduce the history of Qin County, once she stood on Imperial Capital's soil, she felt an indescribable sense of fear. Luckily, there was Ma Yingjie. Without him, she really didn't know how to handle these situations.
During the meal, there was naturally less alcohol. Situ Lan drove and didn't drink. Leader Liu and Chief Commander Qian probably came to drink, so the two of them didn't reject at all. Ma Yingjie and Wang Dandan were accompanying guests. Moreover, this meal was definitely going to be Ma Yingjie's treat. Even if Situ Lan paid the bill in the end, he still had to give face to Ma Yingjie, so he naturally couldn't say no.
However, Situ Lan said, "You can drink, but let's talk business first. Later on, when we go to the bar, you can do whatever you want. "
"Sister Lan is still the one who feels sorry for me." Regiment Commander Liu joked. He turned to look at Chief Commander Qian and said, "Chief Qian will explain the exact operation method to Bureau Chief Wang. Bureau Chief Wang will sit beside Chief Commander Qian. He will tell you what to do." The moment Leader Liu finished speaking, Wang Dandan actually looked at Ma Yingjie. This action made Situ Lan extremely uncomfortable. Did this woman really not know? Or was she purposely showing that her relationship with Ma Yingjie wasn't ordinary?
Ma Yingjie had been paying attention to Situ Lan. He was very worried about her. Now that he saw Situ Lan's uncomfortable expression, he hurriedly said to Wang Dandan, "Go sit beside Chief Qian. If there's anything, write it down. When you return to Qin County, prepare well. I still need the guidance and help of the two teachers for this activity. "
Wang Dandan then stood up and sat beside Chief Commander Qian, facing Leader Liu. Ma Yingjie sat at the bottom, so the task of pouring wine and serving them food and drinks naturally fell to him. This was also good. If he kept sitting, his gaze would naturally fall on Situ Lan. The more he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, the more likely he would make her uncomfortable.
Initially, the few of them didn't drink too much. This was because they needed to talk business. Moreover, this incident had a huge impact. All the leaders and media would be present, so naturally, they couldn't be careless. When it came to talking business, Leader Liu and Chief Commander Qian were very serious. It was probably because of Situ Lan. Ma Yingjie would naturally think this way.
Everything that needed to be discussed, including the stage lighting and other details, were all recorded down. Wang Dandan had been listening attentively to Leader Liu and Chief Commander Qian's words. She kept writing in her notebook. This made Ma Yingjie feel a lot more relaxed. He felt that bringing Wang Dandan along was the right choice. However, when his gaze met Situ Lan's, he would feel that bringing Wang Dandan along would make Situ Lan sad. These two feelings alternated, causing him to be distracted while he was drinking. Luckily, there was Situ Lan. She was probably very familiar with Leader Liu and Chief Commander Qian. Their conversations and jokes were more casual. The atmosphere in the room was also very lively.
