Quan Zhendong motioned to the waiter who was leading the way to leave first, because there were some things that would not be convenient for outsiders to see later, and it would not be a good thing for Quan Zhendong if word spread. The waiter was also a good looker, and when he realized that the atmosphere was not right, he used the fastest ran away at speed.
After the waiter left, Quan Zhendong did not enter the box. He just stood at the door of the box with a somewhat cold attitude:
"I'm not very familiar with you."
Quan Zhendong's attitude made the smile on Ma Zhongkun's face freeze. He turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man. Seeing that the middle-aged man didn't express anything, he could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Director Quan, relationships are all about friendship. They are familiar with each other once, and become familiar with each other the second time. As we get along, we will naturally become familiar with each other, and we will all be friends from now on."
As he said that, he actually stepped forward and wanted to pull Quan Zhendong into the box.
"No need."
Quan Zhendong frowned and stretched out his hand to block:
"We are disciplined. This kind of invitation makes me make a mistake. Mr. Ma, if it is because of Ma Jie's matter, then please rest assured. As long as Ma Jie stays upright and does his job well, he doesn't need my care. No one can cause trouble for him."
After saying that, Quan Zhendong turned to leave.
But what happened next shattered Quan Zhendong's outlook on life and completely aroused his inner anger.
I saw Ma Jie's mother, a middle-aged woman, calling Quan Zhendong:
"Director Quan, wait a minute. This dinner is just because my old man wants to get to know you. There is no other intention. But because I don't have your contact information, I asked Lianlian to invite you. Maybe Lianlian and you I didn't make it clear when I said it, which caused you to misunderstand, Lianlian, please apologize to Director Quan!"
As she was talking, Ma Jie's mother pulled Wu Lianlian hard, almost knocking Wu Lianlian to the ground.
Wu Lianlian stumbled before she stabilized her figure. Everyone's eyes were instantly on her. She looked down at Quan Zhendong, murmuring and speechless.
Quan Zhendong's brows furrowed even more tightly. According to what Quan Zhendong knew, Wu Lianlian and Ma Jie were developing an office romance, but they were not married yet, and they had not even reached the stage of discussing marriage. How could they look at the situation in front of them? Judging from this situation, Wu Lianlian is like an angry little daughter-in-law with no status in front of Ma Jie's family, but Ma Jie is still standing aside as if it has nothing to do with her. This situation is really weird. .
However, what makes Quan Zhendong angry is not the attitude of Ma Jie's family towards Wu Lianlian, but the fact that Wu Lianlian seems to be used to being treated like this.
"Wu Lianlian, come out with me for a moment."
Quan Zhendong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a straight face.
When Ma Jie's mother saw that there was a turn of events, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. She immediately pushed Wu Lianlian out, which made Quan Zhendong feel disgusted and left without waiting for Wu Lianlian.
After Wu Lianlian followed Quan Zhendong out of the box, Ma Jie, who felt as if there was some green hair on top of her head, suddenly became unhappy. She picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one, then slammed the lighter on the table and cursed.
"What are you doing? My uncle is still here and has no education."
Ma Zhongkun was startled by Ma Jie's actions and scolded him.
"It's okay. My girlfriend was called away by the leader. It's normal for a young man to have a temper."
The middle-aged man waved his hands indifferently and sat on a chair to drink tea:
"But Xiaojie, my uncle tells you that as long as you have power, women are the least rare resource. You are still a small clerk in the management committee. You don't realize it. When you become a Once you become the leader, you will understand that when the time comes, even your uncle will be relying on you."
What the middle-aged man said was really unbearable. He actually compared a woman to an object, like a piece of cargo, rather than a living person.
What is even more chilling is that Ma Jie’s mother, who is also a woman, does not think there is anything wrong with her brother’s words, and even echoes them:
"That's it, if you try your best, you can't find any kind of girl. I think this Wu Lianlian is not very good. She is not even a member of the staff. I really don't know what you like about her. Let me tell you, after a while No matter what happens, even if Quan Zhendong really has something to do with Wu Lianlian, please restrain yourself and don't delay your uncle's important event."
As he spoke, he looked at his brother with a flattering look. It was obvious that Ma Jie's family usually relied on this middle-aged man.
Ma Jie turned around to smoke in some boredom, saying nothing in response, but his face was twisted with confusion.
Quan Zhendong didn't stop until he walked outside Huijuncai. Seeing Wu Lianlian following him honestly, he pointed at her nose and scolded:
"Wu Lianlian! Do you know what you did today? Okay, that's great. The idea has come to my head. Do you still know who you are? As a public official, I will ask Director Liu tomorrow It’s not too much to give you a warning within the party!”
Before Quan Zhendong even cursed, Wu Lianlian couldn't help crying, her body was sobbing, and she kept apologizing to Quan Zhendong, saying she was sorry.
"Okay, you don't need to apologize to me!"
Quan Zhendong waved his hand heavily, and faced Wu Lianlian's pear blossoms with rain, he did not feel soft at all:
"We are all adults. Before doing something, we must carefully consider the consequences. If we make a mistake and just let it go with tears, it is impossible. Now, please explain to me clearly what happened today. Something happened."
"I'm sorry, Director Quan, I, I can't help it."
Wu Lianlian wiped her tears and began to tell Quan Zhendong the cause and effect:
"I, I joined the management committee last year, and I joined Ma Jie together. Ma Jie had been pursuing me at that time, but I didn't agree. My family's conditions were not good, and my father was seriously ill and had no money for treatment. I had no choice at the time. I asked Ma Jie to borrow money, and Ma Jie asked me to agree to be his girlfriend before he would lend me the money, so I did, I did."
"I'm not interested in your own personal affairs."
The things Wu Lianlian said sounded terrible. Quan Zhendong couldn't tell the authenticity of the things. He felt that there was a high probability that they were true, and he couldn't judge whether Wu Lianlian's choice was right or wrong, but just like him As I just said, adults should be responsible for their own actions, not to mention that Quan Zhendong's relationship with her was not enough to intervene in these matters.
Quan Zhendong lit a cigarette:
"The real identity and purpose of the person who invited me to dinner today is Comrade Wu Lianlian. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have come today. I only agreed to come over for dinner out of my trust in you. I hope you can tell me the truth. Don't Don’t betray my trust in you again.”
Faced with Quan Zhendong's indifference, Wu Lianlian fell silent. In fact, she had not liked Ma Jie from the beginning, otherwise she would not have refused to agree to Ma Jie's constant pursuit. Later, Ma Jie's family's excessive attitude towards her also It made her want to get rid of the relationship with Ma Jie even more, so she told Quan Zhendong this, hoping that Quan Zhendong could help her.
But it is absolutely impossible for Quan Zhendong to help. If Ma Jie was really threatening, Wu Lianlian would not need to speak, Quan Zhendong would take action, but Wu Lianlian did take Ma Jie's money. Although it was called a loan to put it nicely, it has not been paid back. Woolen cloth? Before confirming this matter, I guess I would never care about it.
Wu Lianlian's silence made Quan Zhendong lose his patience. After finishing his cigarette, he looked at Wu Lianlian expressionlessly and said:
"It's okay if you don't want to say it. This kind of thing is not difficult to find out. You think so? I found it myself and you told me about it yourself. Those are two different things. Just take care of yourself, Wu Lianlian. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he ignored Wu Lianlian's reaction and turned around to leave.
"It's Ma Jie's uncle. Fang Zhigang wants to treat you to dinner."
Wu Lianlian was not a manipulative person, otherwise she would not have been manipulated by Ma Jie's family like this. Seeing Quan Zhendong was about to leave, she couldn't help but speak, with a look of tears on her face again:
"Fang Zhigang is the deputy director of the park's sewage treatment station. Fang Zhigang arranged for Ma Jie to join the management committee because of his connections. This time he wanted to treat you to dinner, but he could never find a reason, so he I’m here to invite you in the name of me and Ma Jie.”
Quan Zhendong frowned after hearing this. He had just talked about the problem of the sewage treatment station with Qian Guochang today, and the deputy station manager came to the door immediately. He didn't know if this was a coincidence.
As for Fang Zhigang's purpose in finding him, Quan Zhendong would not ask Wu Lianlian. Presumably, they would not tell Wu Lianlian. However, it is not difficult to guess. Naturally, it would not be because of Quan Zhendong's conversation with Qian Guochang, nor would it be because of the conversation between Quan Zhendong and Qian Guochang. It could be because of problems with the sewage treatment station, and the root cause still lies with green farmers.
As Qian Guochang said, the sewage treatment station has always been in charge of the Work Safety Supervision Office before, but now Chen Botao has gone in. Quan Zhendong believes that there must be some discord between this sewage treatment station and Chen Botao. Quan Zhendong Zhendong himself may not know that the Lu Nong incident has given him a notorious reputation in Beixiang Park, and is directly related to the fall of Lu Nong. Therefore, Fang Zhigang believes that Quan Zhendong must know some inside information, so he is eager to find Quan. Zhendong inquired about the situation, but afterwards, Quan Zhendong was protected for a whole week in the name of recovering from his injuries, and it was delayed until now. Fang Zhigang was patient.
The facts were indeed guessed by Quan Zhendong, but Fang Zhigang did not expect to completely let go of the Green Nong incident after obtaining evidence of Green Nong's illegal acts. He only found out about many subsequent things after hearing Qian Guochang talk about them. , and Fang Zhigang also misjudged Quan Zhendong’s character.
If Quan Zhendong was really the kind of person Fang Zhigang thought, then the Green Farm incident would not have broken out.
Quan Zhendong is a radical and adventurous person. He originally planned to just leave today. After appraising Fang Zhigang's thoughts, he became a little more interested and changed his mind and decided to endure the meal today. See what kind of medicine the other party sells in his gourd.
Thinking of this, Quan Zhendong's brows relaxed, but he still had nothing to say to Wu Lianlian:
"You go in first, I'll come up after I have another cigarette."
No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Wu Lianlian cheated Quan Zhendong. If it were someone with a weak will, he might be cheated to death today, so Quan Zhendong cannot be generous.
