After Ma Yingjie downed the wine, he looked at Li Huiling and said, "Mayor Li, I'm here to propose a toast on behalf of the Secretary. I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I'm leaving. " As he spoke, Ma Yingjie walked towards the door. Li Huiling said behind him, "Thank the Secretary for me for the wine."
Ma Yingjie turned his head and glanced at Li Huiling, saying, "The Secretary will personally propose a toast to Mr. Jack."
Mr. Jack hurriedly and enthusiastically smiled at Ma Yingjie and said, "Is it Mr. Mo?"
"Mr. Jack, you're here in Wu Du. Secretary Luo has official business and can't leave tonight. Tomorrow, he will definitely hold a banquet to welcome you."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Mo. I've wanted to meet Mr. Mo for a long time." Mr. Jack laughed heartily.
The expression on Li Huiling's face became more and more awkward. Ma Yingjie pretended not to see it and said to Mr. Jack, "On behalf of Secretary Luo, I thank Mr. Jack. See you tomorrow." As he finished speaking, he turned around and left the Reflecting Moon Hall under everyone's astonishment.
As soon as Ma Yingjie left, Li Huiling couldn't keep the expression on her face. She didn't expect that a perfectly good banquet would be disrupted by Ma Yingjie. What's more, this disruption was done so quietly and yet so destructive. Tomorrow, Ma Yingjie's words implied that Luo Tianyun would hold a banquet to invite Mr. Jack? Then Luo Tianyun would come to pick her peaches again. She spent a lot of effort to invite this Mr. Jack. How could he be discovered by Luo Tianyun as soon as he arrived in Wu Du? She purposely did not go to the Capital Wu Hotel. Other than the European style of the town and the western cuisine, it was also to avoid the familiar faces of the Capital Wu Hotel. It was just that she had not expected to meet Ma Ying Jie here. This mouthpiece was not easy to deal with. From his response, Li Huiling realized that this young man was not simple. At the very least, he had displayed some actions that surprised Li Huiling. Messing up a simple toast like this and leaving a message for Mr. Jack, was this not a challenge? And this challenge was Luo Tianyun's idea? This was the thing that troubled Li Huiling the most.
After Ma Yingjie left Yingyue Hall, he returned to his private room. Gu Yanling was still there. However, as soon as Gu Yanling saw Ma Yingjie coming back, she said to Ma Yingjie, "I just called Luan Xiaoxue. She said that the child was not by her side and she was very worried about the child. She also said that she felt that you were hiding something from her. She kept asking me what happened. I almost told her that the child died. Ma Yingjie, can we hide it from her like this? "
Gu Yanling's face was full of worry, and Ma Yingjie was touched. However, he had to report to the boss about the toast just now. Moreover, the boss must have something else for him to do. At this time, he really didn't have time to pay attention to Luan Xiaoxue.
"Yanling, I want to see the boss. Let's put off Luan Xiaoxue's matter for as long as we can. As long as her body recovers, I believe that she will be able to overcome this blow. "As Ma Yingjie spoke, he wanted to leave.
Gu Yanling sighed and said, "That's too cruel." Then, she stood up and said to Ma Yingjie, "Let's go. I'll walk you there."
Ma Yingjie wanted to reject Gu Yanling, but he swallowed his words. He stood up and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the private room, he found Ran Bingbing standing at the door.
"Bingbing?" Gu Yanling called out in surprise.
"Surprised, right?" Ran Bingbing looked at Gu Yanling, then his gaze fell on Ma Yingjie's face.
"Yes. Very surprised. " Ma Yingjie blurted out. Ran Bingbing's appearance gave him a very bad feeling. Just because he went to the Moon Reflection Hall to stir up trouble? Did Ran Bingbing come to take revenge? Then did she hear his conversation with Gu Yanling?
"What's so surprising about that? Didn't you just go to the Moon Reflection Hall to toast? The mayor asked me to return the toast. Courtesy demands reciprocity. " Ran Bingbing said in a strange tone, but his gaze moved back and forth between Ma Yingjie and Gu Yanling's faces. This made Ma Yingjie feel extremely disgusted.
"What's wrong? I came to toast, and you're leaving? " Ran Bingbing looked unforgiving, and there was a gloomy air on her face. In Ma Yingjie's eyes, he didn't know where this gloomy air came from, but he was still worried about Ran Bingbing. However, he couldn't openly ask Ran Bingbing what she was talking about. Even if Ran Bingbing heard his conversation with Gu Yanling, she wouldn't tell him.
Ma Yingjie pretended not to know anything and deliberately said regretfully, "Thank the mayor for returning the toast on my behalf. I talked to Yanling about the factory, and after that, we'll be leaving. Sorry. " When Ma Yingjie said this, he kept an eye on Ran Bingbing's expression. Ran Bingbing chuckled, but a proud expression flashed across his face. This made Ma Yingjie confused, and he didn't know why Ran Bingbing was so proud. However, he didn't think too much about it, because Ran Bingbing held a glass of wine and said to Gu Yanling, "Yanling, don't put your lover before your friend."
Gu Yanling gave Ran Bingbing a punch, and the two laughed at the same time. After Ran Bingbing laughed, he quickly turned around and left. Ma Yingjie and Gu Yanling walked out of Linyi Town. When Gu Yanling drove Ma Yingjie to the Ming Tombs, Ma Yingjie said to Gu Yanling gratefully, "Yanling, thank you."
"In the future, you have to care and love Luan Xiaoxue more." After saying this, Gu Yanling waved to Ma Yingjie and drove the car away.
Ma Yingjie called his boss, Luo Tianyun. As soon as the call went through, Ma Yingjie said, "Secretary, are you at home?"
"Yes. Come up. "Luo Tianyun said and hung up the phone. Ma Yingjie walked to the door of the courtyard, pushed it open, and walked in.
When Ma Yingjie walked to the door on the first floor and knocked, Luo Tianyun opened the door. Obviously, Luo Tianyun was waiting for him.
As soon as Ma Yingjie entered the boss's house, he habitually looked around the whole house. The boss's cup was on the tea table in the living room, but there was no water. Ma Yingjie said to Luo Tianyun, "Secretary, I'll go boil a kettle of water."
"Go ahead." Luo Tianyun didn't refuse. This made Ma Yingjie feel very relaxed, but at the same time, there was an indescribable heaviness. Obviously, the boss really had something to talk to him about.
After Ma Yingjie went into the kitchen to boil the water, he walked out of the living room. Luo Tianyun was smoking, and he seemed to be very focused. Every time the boss was thinking about an important problem, he would have this kind of focus while smoking.
Ma Yingjie sat on the sofa. The boss didn't say anything, and he wouldn't interrupt the boss's thinking. Moreover, he was waiting for the water to boil to make tea for the boss, and he would also make a cup of tea for himself. This way, it wouldn't be as awkward, and it would also be beneficial for a long conversation.
Time passed by this pair of master and servant. When the water was boiling, Ma Yingjie got up and went to the kitchen. When he came out with the kettle, Luo Tianyun had already put out his cigarette and was waiting quietly. It seemed like he was waiting for Ma Yingjie to boil the water, or it seemed like he was waiting for Ma Yingjie. No matter what kind of waiting, for Ma Yingjie, it was especially nervous. He was most afraid of the boss's situation.
Ma Yingjie suppressed his panic, and first made a cup of tea for the boss, and then made a cup for himself. The tea was a high-quality Tieguanyin. When the familiar fragrance greeted his nose, Ma Yingjie couldn't help but sniff, and he looked like he was enjoying it very much.
At this time, Luo Tianyun said, "This fragrance is not bad, right?"
Ma Yingjie raised his head and looked at the boss. As he nodded, he didn't understand what the boss wanted to say.
"Don't guess what I'm thinking. Tell me about the situation of your toast tonight." Luo Tianyun didn't look at Ma Yingjie, but suddenly said this. Ma Yingjie was shocked, and then he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Secretary, you really know how to read people's minds."
"Don't flatter me." Luo Tianyun replied indifferently, his eyes still not looking at Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie didn't dare to beat around the bush, and he told Luo Tianyun about the toast, as well as the situation where he and Gu Yanling Ran Bingbing.
Luo Tianyun listened, and he didn't interrupt Ma Yingjie at all. He listened very seriously and very carefully. Ma Yingjie didn't understand why Luo Tianyun would be interested in the situation of the toast.
After Ma Yingjie finished, Luo Tianyun lit up another cigarette. When Luo Tianyun blew out a mouthful of smoke, the boss was in a daze in Ma Yingjie's eyes. Even if Luo Tianyun wasn't shrouded in smoke, in Ma Yingjie's eyes, he would always be in a daze. Just like how he couldn't understand what Luo Tianyun was playing, and what cards he was playing. He didn't know how Luo Tianyun knew he was in Linyi Town, why he asked him to toast, and why he suddenly cared about the whole process of the toast.
Luo Tianyun smoked the cigarette again, and then looked at Ma Yingjie and said, "Tomorrow, I will hold a grand banquet for Mr. Jack at Wu Du Hotel."
When Ma Yingjie made the toast, it was just a casual sentence. He didn't think that Luo Tianyun would actually do it, and he didn't think that Luo Tianyun would actually hold a grand banquet for this foreigner whose background he didn't know.
"What do you need me to do?" Of course, Ma Yingjie didn't dare to ask why, and only dared to ask what he should do next. Moreover, if the boss didn't say the reason, Ma Yingjie couldn't ask. Some things could only be done, but not said. And no matter how many doubts Ma Yingjie had, he just watched, listened, thought, analyzed, or consulted Situ Lan. Now that Situ Lan suddenly became so strange to Ma Yingjie, could he still consult her like before? Could he still get along with her normally?
On this night, on the second floor of the Thirteen Tombs, Ma Yingjie suddenly had such a feeling.
