The two of them went downstairs one after the other. When they got in the car, Ma Yingjie sat in the front seat, and Situ Lan sat in the back seat. However, when the driver, Xiao Wang, was about to start the car, Situ Lan still said to Ma Yingjie, "Ma Yingjie, you sit behind me. I have something to discuss with you."
Ma Yingjie was a little embarrassed. No matter what, this was the Wu Du. No matter what, Situ Lan was the nominal wife of his boss, Luo Tianyun. But since Situ Lan said so, if he didn't go, the driver, Xiao Wang, would easily suspect his relationship with her.
Ma Yingjie answered, "Okay, Sister Lan." Ma Yingjie pushed the door open and walked to the back seat, pretending to be generous. He opened the door and sat in the car.
After Xiao Wang started the car, Situ Lan said to Ma Yingjie in the back seat, "Mr. Jack wants to terminate the contract with them."
"Contract?" Ma Yingjie turned to look at Situ Lan in confusion. Situ Lan's face didn't have a trace of emotion at this time. Instead, it was all a kind of sternness that Ma Yingjie couldn't understand.
"Yes. They are going to sign a contract with Mr. Jack about the construction of the new city in Linzigou. Let's go to Linzigou now. I want to see what kind of treasured land Linzigou is, that they are actually fighting for it with such a big price and action. " When Situ Lan talked about work, he wasn't careless at all. Ma Yingjie suddenly understood why they wanted to snatch Linzi Gully. But he didn't know if he was right. He didn't say anything and asked Xiao Wang to drive the car to Linzi Gully.
Because Xiao Wang was present, Situ Lan and Ma Yingjie spoke in a business-like manner, which made Ma Yingjie feel less awkward. When the car drove into Wu Du, the boss called Ma Yingjie. When Ma Yingjie picked up, Luo Tianyun said, "Did Xiaolan go back to Wu Du with you?"
Ma Yingjie didn't expect his boss to know his and Situ Lan's whereabouts so quickly, so he said on the phone, "Yes, Secretary. Sister Lan said she wanted to go to Linzi Gully to take a look. Let's go there now. "
"Got it." Luo Tianyun said the same thing again and hung up the phone. Ma Yingjie didn't understand why his boss called him, so he looked at Situ Lan. Situ Lan snorted and ignored Ma Yingjie. She turned her face outside the window. Ma Yingjie was embarrassed. He didn't say anything and looked outside the window.
Luckily, they arrived at Linzi Gully soon. After Xiao Wang parked the car, Ma Yingjie got out of the car first and quickly went around to open the door for Situ Lan. Situ Lan enjoyed Ma Yingjie's service and didn't feel embarrassed at all. Ma Yingjie waited for Situ Lan's plan and didn't care about Situ Lan's attitude.
Ma Yingjie led Situ Lan around Linzi Gully. When they saw the large piece of barren land behind Linzi Gully, Situ Lan stood there and didn't move. She kept looking, as if she wanted to use her eyes to see how much land there was. If they bought this piece of empty land at a low price and designed a new city in their imagination on this piece of empty land, it was indeed a very good idea. However, this place was obviously not conducive to the practicality of a high-speed rail station. Although they could launch various roads, the cost of that was much higher than the cost of setting it up in Qiu Jiawan. Qiu Jiawan's transportation was very convenient, and it was separated from the city and even from Guzhou, another city opposite Wu Du, by a river. From here to the approach bridge to Guzhou, it was less than two kilometers. The weather and geographical conditions were suitable for the development of a high-speed rail station. It was just that there were many people here. If they really moved as a whole, the compensation would be much more than in Linzi Gully.
Situ Lan finally understood. Standing on this piece of barren land that couldn't block her view, Situ Lan understood more and more that they must have done something to this piece of land, and they were determined to get it.
When Situ Lan looked at it, Ma Yingjie didn't speak. He had already realized some problems, but he was sure that the problems he realized were all child's play compared to the boss and Situ Lan. Therefore, apart from listening and learning, he didn't have much time to talk.
When Situ Lan and Ma Yingjie were looking at this piece of land, Ma Yingjie's cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Qiu Jianping again, Ma Yingjie asked impolitely, "Secretary Qiu, what instructions do you have?"
"I'm at the door of your office. Didn't you ask me to come to your office during the day? Are you hiding from me? " Qiu Jianping didn't care about Ma Yingjie's attitude at all. Only then did Ma Yingjie remember that he did ask Qiu Jianping to look for him after he returned to Wu Du from the province. He didn't expect that this old man was so stubborn that he really came to look for him. Before things were confirmed, Ma Yingjie still wanted to see him. Moreover, he also wanted to know who was behind Qiu Dandan. Therefore, he said to Qiu Jianping, "Secretary Qiu, please wait for a while. I'll be there soon." After saying that, Ma Yingjie turned his eyes to Situ Lan. Situ Lan knew that Ma Yingjie had something to deal with, so she said, "Let's go back."
Situ Lan and Ma Yingjie got into the car one after another. This time, Ma Yingjie sat in the front seat. Situ Lan didn't call him again. Perhaps when they arrived at Wu Du, she would still care that she was the nominal wife of Luo Tianyun.
Xiao Wang drove the car into Wu Du. Ma Yingjie asked Xiao Wang to send Situ Lan back to the Thirteen Tombs. On the second floor of Luo Tianyun's house, Ma Yingjie got out of the car and opened the door for Situ Lan again. Situ Lan smiled and didn't say anything. However, she still made a gesture to Ma Yingjie to ask him to do something. Ma Yingjie understood that it was her concern and worry.
Ma Yingjie was grateful again because he already knew that this matter involved such a big interest, so it was enough to show how big this interest group was. What worried Ma Yingjie the most now was that if Minister Qian Guangyao was also involved in such a big interest group, could he and his boss resist it? Even if Mr. Jack didn't sign the contract, there would be other experts who would sign the contract. This was not a problem for them. Moreover, Ran Bingbing had long proposed to buy land in Linzi Gou, which was a kind of signal. Did the boss know about this information? However, Situ Lan returning to Wu Du was a kind of nominal husband and wife who would communicate because they had the same political goal.
When Ma Yingjie was thinking about this, they arrived at the Wu Du Government Building. Ma Yingjie got out of the car. This time, he had an illusion about the building, a kind of vague feeling that he didn't dare to believe.
Ma Yingjie walked into the elevator. At this time, he really didn't want to meet anyone, especially Gu Qingming. Fortunately, it was already halfway to work, so there was really no one in the elevator. He pressed the floor he wanted to go to and went straight to the fifth floor.
When Ma Yingjie walked out of his office, Qiu Jianping was indeed squatting at the door. When Ma Yingjie arrived, Deputy Director Jin came up to him and shouted, "Director Ma, you're here. This old man insisted that he had an appointment with you, but he refused to leave."
"I'm the one who made the appointment. Go ahead and do your work, Director Jin." Ma Yingjie said to Deputy Director Jin. Deputy Director Jin was in his fifties, and he was just idling around in the research room waiting for his retirement.
Deputy Director Jin left, and Ma Yingjie invited Qiu Jianping to his office. As he let Qiu Jianping in, he said to Qiu Jianping: "Secretary Qiu, please come in. I just came back from the province. Let's talk inside."
Ma Yingjie's attitude was very polite. After he invited Qiu Jianping into his office, he personally boiled water and sent Qiu Jianping a cigarette. Although he didn't smoke, there were still cigarettes in the office. This was because this was the custom of Wu Du. When there were leaders and guests, cigarettes and tea were necessary to treat guests.
Although Ma Yingjie was so polite to Qiu Jianping, his anger did not subside at all. He looked at Ma Yingjie and said: "Even if you came back from Beijing, it doesn't matter. I'm here to see my daughter. Where did you lock her up?"
"Lock her up?" Ma Yingjie pretended to be confused and forced a smile: "Secretary Qiu, what are you talking about? Qiu Dandan really left by herself. It has nothing to do with me. We won't lock her up. Moreover, she injured herself. What's the use of locking her up? "
"Hmph!" Qiu Jianping sat on the sofa and avoided Ma Yingjie's eyes. However, his tone was not friendly at all. He said: "Where did you take my daughter? What law did my daughter break?"
"Secretary Qiu, I really didn't lock your daughter up. How many times do you want me to say it before you believe me?" Ma Yingjie was a little annoyed.
"There's no way to talk about it. If I don't see my daughter today, I won't let you off!" Qiu Jianping said and glared at Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to explain, but he was not in the mood. At this time, running away was the best choice. Qiu Jianping saw through his plot in time and blocked him at the door: "Secretary Ma, everyone in the village saw it clearly. You carried my daughter into the car. Now that my daughter can't be seen, I have to ask you for her."
Ma Yingjie had to dodge the question: "Why can't I see her? She might be in Beijing now." Then, Ma Yingjie picked up the office phone and dialed Qiu Dandan's number. However, what made Ma Yingjie dumbfounded was that Qiu Dandan's number was not in the service area.
Ma Yingjie looked at Qiu Jianping guiltily, but Qiu Jianping was angry. "What are you looking at!" Qiu Jianping suddenly stood up angrily: "Playing me like a monkey. I, Qiu Jianping, am also a person who drank seawater. Whoever dares to not treat me as a human, I, Qiu Jianping, will fight with him!"
"Secretary Qiu, don't be angry. If you have something to say, we can talk about it." Ma Yingjie had to bite the bullet and work for Qiu Jianping. He had no choice. He was not a high-ranking official. Sometimes, he was really pitiful. He couldn't offend his superiors, nor could he offend his subordinates. If he angered his subordinates and caused trouble for him, the higher-ups will be angry, and he can't wear his official hat anymore. Although Qiu Jianping was trying to please Qiu Jianping, his eyes kept looking out of the door, hoping that Deputy Chief Jin or Xiao Wang would appear and find a way to get rid of Qiu Jianping. If Qiu Jianping kept pestering him, when would it end?
