Chapter 24: A meeting with different minds

Xia Xiang had no classmates at the construction site. He asked Cao Shuyan to pretend that his girlfriend had ulterior motives. However, it was not convenient to say it clearly, so he replied vaguely: "Don't worry about him, let's have something else to do first and go to meet an important person."

"So do you want to pretend to be a girlfriend?" Cao Shugui asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"It's up to your will!" Xia Xiang was foolish, so as not to think of this in the future. After turning a corner, he would complain that he was suspected of deliberately using her. So he gave her the right to choose.

Cao Shuyan didn't hesitate for a moment, gently grabbed Xia Xiang's arm and said, "I happened to encounter such a fun thing. If I don't participate, it wouldn't be my style. Who is afraid of whom?"

Xia Xiang saw Cao Shuyan sticking tightly, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He just pretended to be so close. Who is afraid of whom? He was really afraid that Li Jiefu would tell Cao Yongguo when he saw it. If Cao Yongguo had any ideas about him, his hard work to establish a good image in the Cao family today would be wasted.

He couldn't pull out his arm from Cao Shunie's hand, so he had to secretly hope that Li Jiefu was not in Feng Xuguang's office.

Unfortunately, Xia Xiang's beautiful wish was dashed. Li Jiefu was not only in Feng Xuguang's office, but also surrounded by Feng Xuguang and Li Hongjiang. One of them served tea and the other was enjoying the treatment of the leader. However, Li Jiefu drank tea and smoked cigarettes. He didn't know the questions about Feng Xuguang and Li Hongjiang, and just shook his head with a smile.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Li, don't force me. I just sent Director Cao's daughter to the construction site. As for the relationship between the young man who accompanied her and her, I don't know at all. I am a driver, just drive, and you can't ask questions you shouldn't ask..."

In fact, Feng and Li knew in their hearts that no matter whether Li Jiefu knew why the director's daughter had to come to Jiajia Supermarket, they would definitely not tell them. Feng Xuguang and Li Jiefu were not familiar with each other, so they didn't say anything. Li Hongjiang relied on drinking with Li Jiefu several times and was quite familiar with him, so he tried every means to get him up. Li Jiefu would not be fooled, enjoyed the good cigarettes and tea, and he laughed and played Tai Chi with Li Hongjiang.

Li Jiefu sent Xia Xiang and the other two. He knew that Director Cao asked him to come intently to ask him to pay more attention to their actions, but he thought about it and felt that Xia Xiang was calm and reliable. Seeing that Cao Shugui had a different attitude towards Xia Xiang, he had an idea in his mind, so he planned to go to the nearby vegetable market and report to the director after he went back. He even thought that Xia Xiang was good-looking and sensible, so maybe the director was happy, so why should he do this?

He couldn't even get rid of the director's housework, so he was out of sight. So Li Jiefu turned around and went to the vegetable market. After more than half an hour, he bought a bunch of vegetables. As soon as he came back, he was caught by Li Hongjiang.

Li Hongjiang asked Feng Xuguang for a long time and insisted on asking Feng Xuguang what the relationship between Director Cao was. Feng Xuguang was also confused. When Li Jiefu came back, Li Hongjiang realized that Director Cao had not come, but the car had arrived, and it was not for Feng Xuguang. He felt relieved again. His attitude towards Feng Xuguang immediately became cold again, and he only focused on pleasing Li Jiefu.

Feng Xuguang only realized that the Audi car outside the door was a special car of Director Cao of the Provincial Urban Construction Bureau. Although he did not know Director Cao, he also knew that Director Cao had a high position and was powerful. Since Li Jiefu was his driver, he did not dare to neglect it at all, so he asked to go to the office and talk with a smile on his face.

The three of them had their own thoughts, especially Li Hongjiang was in a state of great concern. He really didn't understand whether Director Cao's daughter came to the construction site of Jiajia Supermarket by accident or was deliberately doing some holiday homework to suggest something. The leader had to think carefully about his thoughts, otherwise when he offended the leader, he would lose his future with just one sentence, but he would lose a lot of losses. He thought about it, and saw Feng Xuguang again, and he was even more uneasy, and he was even more respectful to Li Jiefu. Although Li Jiefu was just a driver, he was Director Cao's confidant and was by the director every day. Even if he would not talk too much, if the director was happy, he would accidentally say his name as if he was chatting, and let Director Cao remember the three words "Li Hongjiang", which would be a great success.

The more Li Hongjiang thought about it, the more excited he became. He had drunk wine with Li Jiefu before, but he was always in crowded occasions. He had not seen face-to-face situations like today, and his heart began to be alive. He was thinking about how to persuade Li Jiefu next and asked him to enjoy his face and have a meal together in the evening.

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Li Hongjiang's thoughts. He was a little annoyed. The words he had just thought were shocked by the knock on the door. He swallowed them back and felt uncomfortable, so he hurriedly opened the door. Seeing two college students standing at the door, he didn't think much about it. He thought that he was a college student from the School of Architecture who came to look for an internship, so he said angrily: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

Xia Xiang didn't know Li Hongjiang, but when he saw him wearing a red safety helmet representing the identity of the leader, he guessed a little in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'll look for Mr. Feng, she's looking for Master Li..."

Li Jiefu flashed from behind Li Hongjiang, nodded at Xia Xiang, and said to Cao Shuyan with a gentle and humble smile: "Shuyan, have you finished your homework? Do you want to go back?"

Cao Shuyan glared at Li Hongjiang in dissatisfaction, and entered the room with Xia Xiang one after another, closed the notebook in his hand, and said, "Uncle Li is in the car and wait for me."

Li Jiefu responded, nodded at Li Hongjiang and Feng Xuguang, then patted Xia Xiang on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and then went out.

Cao Shuyan's face was red by the sun, as bright as peach blossoms. Her beautiful eyes glared. Not only did she not have any energy, but she showed her beauty of silly. However, when she fell into Li Hongjiang's eyes, she felt like a basin of ice water falling from the sky, pouring him all over, and a thought flashed through her mind. It was over. Unexpectedly, the person in front of her was the director's daughter! Why was she so stupid? After thinking for a long time, she only thought about how to curry favor with Li Jiefu. Unexpectedly, the driver had not yet successfully pleased him, but she offended the director's daughter in one sentence. Who doesn't know that the little girl is small-minded and loves to hold grudges. If she says bad things about him in front of the director, his future will be worrying.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hongjiang's heart was already full of twists and turns. He didn't know how many times he had gone around. He stayed there for a while before he came to his senses. He hurriedly leaned forward again, showed a flattering smile on his face, and said to Xia Xiang: "This classmate, I'm sorry just now. I'm a little rushing. I'm not targeting you, but for a moment. I'll apologize to you solemnly."

Li Hongjiang didn't dare to provoke Cao Shuyan again. Seeing Xia Xiang coming in with her, he became determined to save the country and took the initiative to approach Xia Xiang.

How could Xia Xiang not understand Li Hongjiang’s thoughts? He took the initiative to stretch out his hand: “I’ll get to know him, my name is Xia Xiang.”

Feng Xuguang was surprised and happy when he saw Xia wanting to show up unexpectedly. Seeing that he had a close relationship with the director's daughter, he moved his mind and stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xia, why don't you notify me when you come here? Do you want to give me a surprise?"

Li Hongjiang was sweating again. Why was the relationship between the two in a blink of an eye so complicated? Feng Xuguang just said that he didn't know Director Cao and had no relationship with Director Cao. Now he knows Xia Xiang again, and Xia Xiang is with the director's daughter. What happened? He grabbed Xia Xiang's hand and smiled particularly kindly: "My name is Li Hongjiang, and I am the manager of Erjian Branch 1. I am very happy to know you."

Feng Xuguang smiled happily: "Xiao Xia, let me introduce it, this one is..." He glanced at Xia Xiang meaningfully.

Cao Shuqi stood aside and blew the fan, took Xia Xiang's arm forward, and said sweetly: "My name is Cao Shuqi, for the time being...is Xia Xiang's girlfriend."

Feng Xuguang's eyes were filled with surprise, and the smile on Li Hongjiang's face became even stronger. He hurriedly poured two glasses of water for Xia Xiang and Cao Shuyan, regardless of whether he was not the owner of the office.

Cao Shuyan said just one sentence and stopped talking. He sat back on the sofa obediently and looked down at the notebook in his hand. Xia Xiang looked at her and a hint of surprise flashed in his heart. He originally thought she was a lively and active little girl with a simple personality, but now it seems that she also has a sensible side.

Feng Xuguang knew that Xia wanted to discuss something with him, so he signaled Li Hongjiang several times, hoping that he would leave on his own initiative. Li Hongjiang turned a blind eye. He had already made up his mind that as long as Xia Xiang and Cao Shugui didn't speak to drive him away, he would say that he would be lazy here no matter what. How could he miss such a good opportunity to show goodwill? What's more, he had a bad attitude just now. Although Cao Shugui didn't take it seriously and didn't look at him again, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Xia Xiang chatted with Feng Xuguang for a few words, without caring about Li Hongjiang's presence. In fact, he also deliberately told Li Hongjiang and said, "Mr. Feng, I just found out that the work has been suspended. Is the funding problem not yet solved?"

Feng Xuguang did not sit on the boss's chair, but sat side by side with Xia Xiang on the sand. He first glanced at Li Hongjiang, touched the top of his head habitually, and smiled: "Yes, there is still a gap in front of me. There is something wrong with my business repayment, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult? By the way, Xiaoxia, I have always been very interested in the cooperation project we mentioned last time, but unfortunately you have no further information. Why, come today, are you going to give me a briefing?"

Xia Xiang turned out to be Director Cao's daughter's boyfriend. Why didn't he arrange a company with good performance under the care of Director Cao, but he wanted to stay in a company that was half dead in Li Dingshan? Feng Xuguang pretended to be casual and joked with Xia Xiang, but in fact he was just for Li Hongjiang to show it. The shock and doubts in his heart were always lingering, making him unable to figure out Xia Xiang's real purpose. If Xia Xiang just wanted to say hello to Li Hongjiang with the relationship between Director Cao, Li Hongjiang would not have started working without selling his face, but he would dare to ask for 10% of the shares based on this point, which was indeed a bit of a big talk.

It’s not that Feng Xuguang didn’t want to give 10% of the shares, but that he felt it was a bit worthless and looked down upon Xia Xiang a lot. He was just a soft boy who relied on his father-in-law. Fortunately, he had pretended to show off in front of him, as if he was really capable.

It seemed to confirm what Feng Xuguang was thinking, Cao Shugui suddenly interrupted: "By the way, Manager Li, why has the construction site stopped? I just went to the site and wanted to draw a construction drawing, but I didn't find the workers to do the construction."
