Situ Lan and Ma Yingjie went out together. Situ Lan's ankle was obviously fine. Ma Yingjie suddenly realized that Situ Lan didn't sprain her ankle at all. Or maybe she sprained her ankle, but it wasn't as serious as she pretended. Ma Yingjie followed Situ Lan. Then he realized that she was testing and testing him this time. But why did she do this? Was it fun to seduce her? This woman was not young anymore. How could she be so crazy? When Ma Yingjie thought of this, he was still a little unhappy. But he could only obey Situ Lan. At least he didn't have the ability to compete with her now. Men and women always had one thing to conquer another. And no matter how unhappy he was with Situ Lan, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He didn't want to show it to Situ Lan. This was a fact that Ma Yingjie couldn't change at present. Fortunately, he escaped Situ Lan's test, so he shouldn't have any contact with this woman anymore. Only in this way could Ma Yingjie feel that he could be calm in front of his boss. If he couldn't be calm in front of his boss, could he still continue his official career? He needed an open and aboveboard official path, not to hide behind a woman and rely on her to get to the top. That was not the official career that he really wanted to take. Because of Luan Xiaoxue, Ma Yingjie had already felt guilty. If he continued to be ambiguous with Situ Lan, his official career might completely come to an end.
"What are you thinking about?" Situ Lan asked Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing."
"You must be thinking that you can still go on this road by relying on me." Situ Lan said with a smile, but this sentence was enough to scare Ma Yingjie. Why did Situ Lan have the same virtue as Luo Tianyun? Could it really penetrate people's hearts? If that was the case, Ma Yingjie was really afraid. Fortunately, he didn't have any disloyalty towards Luo Tianyun or Situ Lan. It was probably because he didn't have any disloyalty that these two enemies had been supporting him.
"There are some things that you don't need to think too much about, just like the relationship between us. This kind of relationship already existed, and it wasn't something that could be resolved even if you wanted to or not. However, you have to figure out what your relationship with Wu Du is. You have to figure out who Wu Du belongs to. At present, he belongs to your master, this is unquestionable. But one day, Wu Du must be handed over to you. You must have this kind of ambition. One day, this city will belong to you. If that wasn't the case, your master wouldn't have let you participate in matters big or small. You should know that looking for people is not up to you, the Deputy Secretary-General. Furthermore, you are now the Director of the Political Research Office. You are the one who deals with materials. What does looking for people have to do with you? Why would you come looking for me? Why do we have to stop the construction of the high-speed railway station in Linzigou? These questions, have you seriously thought about it? Have you thought about it clearly? " When Situ Lan asked Ma Yingjie, he found that he could only look at her blankly, because he really didn't think about these things that Situ Lan said. Of course, he didn't want to think about it now. Although he hoped that his official career would get wider and wider, he didn't have the ambition to think that Wu Du would be handed over to him sooner or later. This step seemed to be very far away for him. Now that it came out of Situ Lan's mouth, why did it feel so light?
"Sister Lan, thank you," Ma Yingjie said to Situ Lan. At this moment, he really wanted to thank Situ Lan. However, he always felt that Situ Lan was hiding a great ambition, and this kind of ambition was something that Ma Yingjie couldn't see or understand.
What on earth did Situ Lan want? Ma Yingjie found that he really didn't know. In the past, he always thought that Situ Lan just wanted a love that belonged to her. He even had the illusion that Situ Lan loved him, and he gave her a very beautiful love. However, this kind of mistake disappeared soon, especially when Situ Lan tested him in this seductive way. He felt that this woman hid too many things, but these things were things that Ma Yingjie couldn't see clearly and couldn't understand at the moment. Just like how she so cruelly made Luan Xiaoxue lose the chance to have another child, it must not be just to get Luo Tianyun. She wouldn't pay such a big price for a man who didn't love her. But why did Situ Lan want to have a child? Ma Yingjie deeply suppressed this idea in the deepest part of his heart. He knew that this idea would accompany him, but he would never let it jump out again. If Situ Lan really found out, he would be in a very dangerous situation.
Situ Lan and Ma Yingjie took a taxi to her home. However, Situ Lan still threw the car key to Ma Yingjie as before. It was obvious that she didn't treat him as an outsider. This action made Ma Yingjie a little touched. He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he was around this woman, he always had ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down. Fortunately, as long as he knew Qiu Dandan's whereabouts, Ma Yingjie would accept it. This was one thing that he had to do now. No matter what his future was, he couldn't let his boss down at this step.
After Ma Yingjie got in the car, he drove Situ Lan's Ferrari to the Qinhan Garden where Situ Lan held the banquet.
This time, Situ Lan invited a young master whose surname was Tian. Situ Lan intimately called him Brother Tian. Brother Tian was in his forties. He was bald, and his face was so fat that it gave people the illusion that several faces were stacked on one head. One of his legs was slightly lame, but it wasn't obvious. However, the Young Master Tian still used a walking stick. But as soon as he sat down, people could feel his weight. Especially the way he sat on the chair and played with his walking stick. He was really calm and composed, looking down on everything.
Situ Lan didn't introduce Ma Yingjie. Looking at Brother Tian's appearance, Ma Yingjie didn't dare to say much. Moreover, although this was a purely private banquet, it was held in the extremely high-class Qinhan Garden. This kind of place wasn't something that ordinary people could afford. Ma Yingjie couldn't help but worry if he had enough money in his bank account. He was still bragging that he was willing to pay for it even if it was ten orders. In this kind of place, Ma Yingjie wouldn't be able to handle a single order.
This Young Master Tian brought two bodyguards with him. This was the first time that Ma Yingjie had seen such a scene. But this kind of scene made Ma Yingjie feel at ease. This kind of person was supported by both the black and white sects. It should be easy for them to investigate a person.
When Ma Yingjie was thinking about this, he looked at the two bodyguards. They were both more than 1.8 meters tall. They wore sunglasses and didn't take them off when they entered the private room. They had a buzz cut. They were handsome to begin with. Coupled with the well-ironed dark suit, shiny leather shoes, and a pair of vigilant eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, it made people feel a little more afraid.
Ma Yingjie had never attended such an occasion. Seeing the two of them standing, he felt quite embarrassed. Since Situ Lan said that he would pay, he was the host. Ma Yingjie still had the courtesy to treat a guest. He couldn't help but ask the two bodyguards to sit down. Young Master Tian smiled and said to Ma Yingjie, "Let's talk among ourselves. They won't join in the fun."
Ma Yingjie still felt bad. He thought that he should at least let them sit down and have a cup of tea. Why were they standing like this? At first, Situ Lan was still holding it in. He was afraid that his reminder would hurt Ma Yingjie. But later, when he saw that Ma Yingjie was too talkative, he couldn't help but look at him and said, "Ma Yingjie, just sit down. Brother Tian's people know the rules the best. Brother Tian has a lot of rules here. You should learn them with an open mind. " His words made Ma Yingjie very uncomfortable. But he still sat down obediently and didn't dare to say anything else.
Brother Tian was still smiling. He looked at Ma Yingjie and then looked at Situ Lan. He didn't say much. His words were all hidden in his expression. But that expression seemed to be fixed. Ma Yingjie really couldn't see anything from it.
Situ Lan was busy ordering dishes. When he heard some strange names, Ma Yingjie thought that Beijing was really a complicated place. Ma Yingjie was someone who had seen a lot of places. He had been to many hotels in Wu Du and even the provincial capital Jiangnan. But when he came here, he couldn't even understand the names of the dishes.
When the dishes were served, Ma Yingjie was even more surprised. In Ma Yingjie's mind, as long as he invited someone of high status to dinner, the dishes must be particular. In Wu Du and the provincial capital Jiangnan, lobsters, abalones, shark fins, and so on, which were rare in the sea and hard to catch in the sky, were the best dishes on the table to them. But when it was served on the table, he couldn't see these at all. There were also dishes from the sea, but they were so rare that he, as the Deputy Secretary-General, had never heard of or seen them, let alone the ones from the sky. For example, there were two dishes, "Chang 'e Flying to the Moon" and "Goddess Descending to the World". They could be finished with one chopstick, but you definitely couldn't bear to touch them. Because the dishes were too exquisite and lifelike. It was just like Chang 'e stretching out her long sleeves and floating in front of you. That expression was not something that could be reflected by a dish. It was like a work of art that was carefully carved by a skilled craftsman. Ma Yingjie definitely couldn't guess what the ingredients were. If he could guess, the surprise and wonder in his heart would disappear instantly. In fact, it was made from wheat and coarse chaff, which the people didn't care about!
People paid attention to nutrition and health care. But this dish really opened Ma Yingjie's eyes. Things like "half of the country", "falling short of success", "fishing for the moon at the bottom of the sea" and "as stable as Mount Tai" didn't sound like a dish, but when it was served, it was very tempting.
While chewing slowly, Situ Lan told him what he wanted to say. The Young Master Tian listened very carefully. From time to time, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Ma Yingjie as if he was studying. After listening, he asked Ma Yingjie, "Brother Ma, how long have you been the Secretary-General?"
Ma Yingjie looked at the Young Master Tian in confusion, and then looked at Situ Lan. Situ Lan didn't say anything, so Ma Yingjie told him the truth, "I just took office."
The Young Master Tian looked at Ma Yingjie and asked again, "Are you tired?"
Ma Yingjie said, "Yes, I'm tired. I'm tired from every job I do now. Thank you, Young Master Tian, for taking care of me."
