Of course, Ma Yingjie heard the sarcasm in Ran Bingbing's words, but he pretended not to understand. He looked at Ran Bingbing with a smile and said, "Ran Bingbing, I didn't come to the wrong room. Can you introduce me to Mayor Li?"
Gu Qingming looked at Ma Yingjie and didn't say anything, but the surprise on his face faded away. He stood aside and watched the conversation between Ran Bingbing and Ma Yingjie. Li Huiling had probably guessed who Ma Yingjie was. Before Ran Bingbing said anything, she said directly, "Should I call you Director Ma or Secretary-General Ma?" Her words were obviously unfriendly and unwelcoming to Ma Yingjie, but Ma Yingjie was following his boss's orders, so he didn't care so much. He hurriedly continued Li Huiling's words and said, "Hello, Mayor Li. I'm Ma Yingjie. You can call me Xiao Ma or Ma Yingjie. I'm glad to see you here. I heard that Wu Du has a beautiful woman, but I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. " Ma Yingjie introduced himself and praised Li Huiling's beauty. All women liked to hear such compliments, including Li Huiling.
Hearing Ma Yingjie's words, the anger on Li Huiling's face dissipated a lot, but she still said to Ma Yingjie in an unwelcoming tone, "I also think Bingbing is right. I thought you came to the wrong room."
"Mayor Li, I'm here to propose a toast to you. How could I go to the wrong room?" Saying this, Ma Yingjie raised his glass to Li Huiling. Li Huiling didn't raise her glass, but she had to say something. She pointed to the foreigner beside her and said, "This is Mr. Jack. You should propose a toast to the guest first." Li Huiling's tone was lecturing, which was a tacit agreement in Ma Yingjie's ears. He hurriedly raised his glass to Jack and said in a warm voice, "The people of Wu Du welcome Mr. Jack. I propose a toast to Mr. Jack on behalf of the secretary."
The expression on Li Huiling's face suddenly became uneasy. First, it turned red, then white, and finally gray. Although Ma Yingjie raised his glass to Mr. Jack, he didn't stop observing Li Huiling for a moment. It wasn't until the expression on Li Huiling's face changed that Ma Yingjie understood why the boss asked him to propose a toast. He was giving Li Huiling a clear warning. He knew exactly what she was doing. He didn't speak, but it didn't mean that he didn't know what she was doing.
Mr. Jack didn't understand what was going on, but he smiled and said in half-baked Chinese, "Thank you."
Ma Yingjie responded, "Mr. Jack, you're welcome. The people of Wu Du will welcome you in their own way."
Ma Yingjie emphasized the people of Wu Du again and again, which made Gu Qingming very uncomfortable. He looked at Ma Yingjie coldly and said, "The people of Wu Du don't seem to belong to your family, do they?"
Ma Yingjie smiled and said, "Hello, Mayor Gu." Gu Qingming didn't deserve Ma Yingjie's indifference at all. On the contrary, Gu Qingming didn't know how to step down for a while, and his face suddenly became gray.
After greeting Gu Qingming, Ma Yingjie made a toast to the other two people, a man and a woman, who he didn't know. Li Huiling didn't speak during the process, or he was thinking about what she should say.
Ma Yingjie raised his glass to Li Huiling, and Li Huiling had to hold up the glass. Ma Yingjie said, "Mayor Li, I just returned to Wu Du today, and I will officially start work tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will officially report to your office. Today, I would like to propose a toast to you unofficially. Thank you for your care and support, Mayor Li. I'll drink this glass. Mayor Li, do whatever you like, okay?" After saying that, Ma Yingjie drank up the glass.
Ma Yingjie didn't mention Luo Tianyun again, but Li Huiling still couldn't sit still. Although it was the first time for her to meet Ma Yingjie, Ma Yingjie was Luo Tianyun's mouthpiece, not only in Wu Du, but also in Governor Lu Xinbo. His sudden appearance in their private room was enough to prove that it was Luo Tianyun's intention. But how did Luo Tianyun know her whereabouts so quickly? This Mr. Jack was a guest from Wu Du that she had just received from the province. She didn't report to Luo Tianyun, and she didn't intend to. During this period, she was very busy with the matters in Linzigou, and her plan was already expanding smoothly. She wanted to speed up the progress, and she didn't want to be stopped by Luo Tianyun when she was reporting. She didn't expect that the moment her guest arrived at Wu Du, Luo Tianyun would warn her in such a way. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Once she was angry, she couldn't keep a straight face, and said with a cold voice, "I should thank Director Ma, no, Secretary Ma for the toast. As for the official report to me tomorrow, just forget it. Who doesn't know that you're the Secretary's favorite? You should work hard to do the work that the Secretary has arranged for you. "
Li Huiling's words were too explicit, and her emotions were directly exposed to Ma Yingjie. He didn't care about Li Huiling's attitude, but continued Li Huiling's words and said, "Mayor Li, you're too polite. I'm a young man trained by the organization, and you're here on behalf of the organization to guide me and train me. Of course, I have to go to your office and accept your guidance. In the future, I also hope that when Mayor Li trains and guides me, you can use your beautiful brilliance to make me a little more handsome. Is that okay, Mayor Li? " Ma Yingjie tried to use a joking tone to express his attitude, but Li Huiling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sudden intrusion of Ma Yingjie. He swept his gaze over to Gu Qingming, who already didn't like Ma Yingjie. Although he didn't have any conflicts with Ma Yingjie, Ma Yingjie's sudden appearance here and Ma Yingjie's attitude made him extremely uncomfortable. Now, Mayor Li Huiling had clearly given the task of punishing Ma Yingjie to him. He suddenly stood up, walked towards Ma Yingjie, and said, "Come, Secretary Ma, I'd like to propose a toast to you. Congratulations on your glorious appointment."
Ma Yingjie had already seen Gu Qingming's posture, but he still tried to smile indifferently and said to Gu Qingming, "Mayor Gu, please take a seat. How can you propose a toast to me? You're flattering me. Please take a seat. I'd like to propose a toast to Mayor Gu. " As Ma Yingjie spoke, he pulled Gu Qingming to his seat. Ma Yingjie acted as if he was the host and everyone at the table was a guest. For a moment, Gu Qingming was very passive. He had to follow Ma Yingjie's enthusiasm and sit down again.
Ma Yingjie quickly poured the wine again and raised it to Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming said, "Secretary Ma, I'm afraid we have to drink double of this wine, right? It's a big thing to take office, and I heard that your wife is giving birth. It's double happiness. Shouldn't you drink double? "
As soon as Gu Qingming finished speaking, Ma Yingjie was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Gu Qingming to mention the matter of Luan Xiaoxue giving birth at this time, and how did he know that Luan Xiaoxue was giving birth? It seemed that Situ Lan was right. There were a lot of people watching him. He and his boss, Luo Tianyun, were too close. Wherever a person like him appeared, he would become the target of everyone's attention. However, when Gu Qingming mentioned Luan Xiaoxue, Ma Yingjie still felt a little uncomfortable. He tried his best to suppress this uneasiness and said with a sad voice, "Mayor Gu, I'm going back to Wu Du tomorrow to work, and my work is all thanks to Mayor Li and your support. It's natural for me to have a child. There's nothing to celebrate. "After Ma Yingjie finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Gu Qingming didn't let go of Ma Yingjie. He pulled Ma Yingjie and said, "Giving birth is a big event. You've been promoted to a father. Isn't this a big happy event?" With that, Gu Qingming turned his head away from Ran Bingbing and added, "Reporter Ran, Secretary General Ma's wife is your classmate, right?"
Ran Bingbing immediately said, "She's my high school classmate, but she didn't finish her studies and went to the south to work." After Ran Bingbing explained so much, in Ma Yingjie's ears, Ran Bingbing didn't want to admit that Luan Xiaoxue was her classmate. Moreover, she deliberately treated Luan Xiaoxue as a working girl who didn't finish high school. How could she be mentioned in the same breath as a top university graduate?
After Ran Bingbing finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Director Ma, is Luan Xiaoxue's child a boy or a girl?"
Ma Yingjie suddenly didn't know how to answer. Why did Luan Xiaoxue suddenly get involved? Moreover, it was an occasion like this. No matter what, he couldn't say on this occasion, "Did the child die?" Moreover, he didn't want to talk about it. However, the more he didn't want to talk about it, the more he was forced to talk about it.
Li Huiling also interrupted. She said, "Secretary-General Ma has just been promoted to a father, and you're already here to propose a toast on behalf of the Party Secretary. You're really too dedicated to your work. Come, let me propose a toast to you for your dedication to your work. "
"Mayor Li, you're flattering me. I was eating here with my friends and happened to meet Mayor Gu and Reporter Ran. I knew that you were eating here, so of course, I came over to propose a toast, "Ma Yingjie explained. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huiling was a little angry. She stared at Gu Qingming and said, "Mayor Qingming, do you know that Secretary-General Ma is also eating here?"
Gu Qingming's face turned ugly, but he quickly said, "When Reporter Ran and I got out of the car, we met Secretary-General Ma, and we had a short conversation."
"Oh." Li Huiling dragged out the word "oh", which made Gu Qingming's heart beat like a drum. His hatred for Ma Yingjie suddenly rose. He continued to look at Ma Yingjie and said, "Secretary-General Ma, you're really busy every day. You even have a task to do while eating. I admire you. Come, let me propose a toast to you too. "
Gu Qingming raised his glass again. The expression on Li Huiling's face became more and more uncomfortable. Mr. Jack looked from one to the other. He didn't understand why these people were toasting each other.
"Mayor Gu, let me propose a toast to you." Ma Yingjie held his glass and walked towards Gu Qingming. He clinked glasses with Gu Qingming and downed the wine.
Li Huiling was very unhappy. She said coldly, "You guys keep toasting each other. Are you done?"
