Liang Jian asked her what her idea was. Xiang Jin shook his head and refused to speak. Liang Jian is not easy to force. Waiting for Xiang Jin to go out with the bowl, Liang Jian organized the language and called Jiang Shihuan.

He and Jiang Shihuan hadn't seen each other for a while, Jiang Shihuan was a little happy when he heard that Liang Jian invited him to dinner, and he didn't think much about it without asking, so he immediately responded.

Liang Jian felt that Jiang Shihuan didn't ask anything, so he agreed, feeling a little surprised and a little reluctant. It's as if Liang Jian put on a Hongmen banquet for Jiang Shihuan.

But, the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent.

The next night, Liang Jian got off work a little early, went to school to pick up Xiang Jin, and went to the place to eat together. The place was arranged by Xiang Jin.

When she got up this morning, Xiang Jin proposed it herself, saying that she would arrange the place to eat. Liang Jian has no opinion, Xiang Jin is more familiar with Beijing than her, and she is not an ordinary girl, Liang Jian is still relieved to leave this kind of thing to her.

The place arranged by Xiang Jin is a private kitchen like a bookstore. However, although it is like a bookstore, this bookstore is different from ordinary bookstores. As soon as you walk into this 'bookstore', you will feel like entering a literary history gallery. Not only the history of Chinese literature, but also the history of foreign literature. Even, those famous books in the course of literary changes in every foreign country are on display. In this store, there are at least a thousand books.

The shop is not very large, with two floors. But as soon as I entered the door, I looked up and saw that it was all books. Even the smell of pages wafts through the air. Liang Jian was undoubtedly shocked. He has also been to many distinctive restaurant tea rooms, but he has never seen anything like this.

As soon as Liang Jian arrived here, he was already sure in his heart that Jiang Shihuan would definitely like this place. He himself is a person who is very interested in the history of literature, and this place is like a museum of literary history, and he will not like it when he arrives here.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Shihuan walked in here, his eyes straightened. Then, he didn't even bother to say hello to Liang Jian, so he walked around the house. It wasn't until the food was served that he was reluctantly called back by Yang Xiumei. After sitting down, the first thing he said to Liang Jian was: "When I retire in the future, I will have to build such a house." ”

Yang Xiumei glanced at him and said, "The books you have at home now are not much worse than this." ”

When Jiang Shihuan heard this, he immediately said: "That's different!" ”

"I think it's the same!" Yang Xiumei seemed to be deliberately raising the bar with him. Jiang Shihuan glanced at her with some dissatisfaction, Yang Xiumei sneered, and then said to Liang Jian and Xiang Jin: "He's like this, everything else is good, it's just this hobby, others can't say a word." ”

Liang Jian took over with a smile: "Hobbies, because love can be called hobbies." For the things you love, you can't just let people say it. I understand that. Moreover, Brother Jiang's hobby is not a bad hobby, Sister Yang, don't you say? ”

"That's just as well." Yang Xiumei said with a smile.

Jiang Shihuan interjected at this time, looked at Liang Jian and asked, "Do you know the boss here?" ”

Liang Jian asked him what was wrong, and Jiang Shihuan said that he had just seen that two of the books in the collection on the second floor were solitary, and they could no longer be found on the market outside. He thought that if he knew the boss, he would like to see if he could buy these two books back from him, even if it was just one. The price is not a problem at all.

Liang Jian didn't expect that Jiang Shihuan still had this idea. However, it can also be seen that Jiang Shihuan really likes it. However, this store was contacted by Xiang Jin, so Liang Jian turned his head to look at Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin smiled slightly and said to Jiang Shihuan: "Which two books does Brother Jiang like?" ”

Jiang Shihuan's eyes lit up and said, "Brother and sister know the boss here?" ”

Xiang Jin nodded slightly and said, "The boss is a friend of mine." ”

"Well, wouldn't that be good?" Jiang Shihuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Xiang Jin said: "It's okay. How about you tell me the names of the two books you like, and I'll go back to him first, and if he wants, you can talk to him in person, how about you? ”

"Good! Yes! Then it's a hassle for your brother and sister! Jiang Shihuan was so happy that he was a little incoherent!

The beginning of the meal was good. Liang Jian has known Jiang Shihuan so far, and he has never seen Jiang Shihuan so happy. Liang Jian suddenly had more confidence in the conclusion of this matter.

Then came dinner. The dishes in this private kitchen are all common home-cooked dishes, but the taste is exceptionally delicious. Xiang Jin said that every ingredient used in the dishes in this store is natural and pollution-free, some of which are planted or raised by the boss himself, some of which are obtained from several farmers in the deep mountains who cooperate with him, and some of which are transported by the sky on the same day. Coupled with the restaurant's unique cooking method, the taste is extraordinarily delicious, and it is rare to eat such delicious and healthy things outside.

Obviously, Jiang Shihuan and his wife are also very satisfied with the taste of the food here. Xiang Jin didn't order a lot of dishes, and it was just right for four people to eat. After eating, Liang Jiangang was about to say that he should change places and sit and have a cup of tea. But before he could speak, a waiter came over and asked whether the tea should be served now, or if he would rest for a while.

Liang Jian glanced at Xiang Jin in surprise, Xiang Jin smiled at him slightly, and then said to the waiter, "Give us four cups of white card water first, tea and wait for a while." ”

After the waiter stepped back, Xiang Jin said to Jiang Shihuan and his wife: "I'm sorry, I ordered all the tea without asking your opinion." The tea here is also more distinctive, so I made my own decisions. ”

Yang Xiumei took over: "It's okay, you are more familiar than us, and it is naturally best for you to call the shots." ”

Jiang Shihuan was still thinking about the books here, where could he sit still, before the boiled water was served, he had already left the table first. As soon as he left, Xiang Jin said to Liang Jian: "Don't you also like to read?" Why don't we go and see it together? ”

Liang Jian felt that next to Xiang Jin, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he was busy.

At the dining table, Xiang Jin and Yang Xiumei were left. After the boiled water came up, Xiang Jin said to Yang Xiumei: "Sister Xiumei, in fact, we asked you out for dinner today, our purpose is not simple. ”

Yang Xiumei was slightly stunned, and then said, "You say, what's the matter." ”

Xiang Jin was just about to speak, but Yang Xiumei added: "However, I can't be the master alone, I have to discuss with my husband." ”

"I understand." Xiang Jin said.

Yang Xiumei glanced at her, and then said, "Say it." ”

Xiang Jin told Yang Xiumei what Liang Jian told her last night. After Yang Xiumei heard this, her brows frowned slightly. Yang Xiumei knows Dong Bin, and she also knows something about the Dongcheng Power Station.

The reason why Xiang Jin told Yang Xiumei about this is also because she knows this.

"That Dong Bin is not simple." Yang Xiumei looked at Xiang Jin and said. Obviously, she didn't want to cooperate with Liang Jian in her heart, and this meaning was already expressed in these eight words.

This is not unexpected. Human instinct is to protect oneself first. Dong Bin's strength, as Yang Xiumei, who has had many contacts with the Dongcheng Power Station project in the Environmental Protection Bureau, even if she is not very clear, has a feeling of seven or eight points. She chose to protect herself, and her words were very subtle, and she did not directly refuse, which to some extent already reflects that she regards Xiang Jin as a friend.

Xiang Jin was not surprised by her attitude. Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's really not simple, so I want to ask Brother Jiang for help." ”

Yang Xiumei's brows frowned again, she pursed her lips and was silent for a while, and said, "Whether I say this matter or not, you have to ask my husband." ”

Xiang Jin shook his head at her and said, "The weight of your heart in Brother Jiang's heart, Liang Jian and I are both clear. So, I hope that Sister Xiumei can help Liang Jian say something in front of Brother Jiang. ”

Yang Xiumei's brows furrowed even tighter. But she still endured it and did not reject Xiang Jin positively.

But Xiang Jin also knew that if she didn't speak, it didn't mean that she agreed. So, Xiang Jin said again: "Brother Jiang is talented, and a deputy minister is too wronged by him. Actually, this incident is not an opportunity for Brother Jiang! He is still young, and as long as he can seize the opportunity, it is very possible to go up one step, or even two. ”

Yang Xiumei's expression moved slightly, but she still didn't let go.

Xiang Jin said again: "Moreover, although Dong Bin is not simple, my Xiang family is not simple. Sister Xiumei, did you say? ”

Yang Xiumei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Xiang Jin smiled and continued, "Actually, if Brother Jiang is willing to help, you don't have to worry very much. Just let Liang Jian do all the positive things. If he fails, Liang Jian is also Dong Bin's primary target. Brother Jiang won't have any big impact. If he succeeds, you should also know that Liang Jian's personality will not take credit from Brother Jiang. Moreover, I heard that Brother Jiang and the head of their department Zhu seem to be preparing to leave Beijing recently. ”

When Xiang Jin said the last sentence, Yang Xiumei's face changed again. Come to think of it, she shouldn't have known this news yet. And this news, Xiang Jin also inquired about it from Minister Xiang for a long time during the day today. Jiang Shihuan's ability to get to this position today has a lot to do with Yang Xiumei's father. But now, Yang Xiumei's father is no longer there. This time, as soon as Zhu Mingtang left, if Jiang Shihuan had no one to help, it would be a little difficult to compete for the position of this minister.

And when Xiang Jin said this, he was actually telling Yang Xiumei that if Jiang Shihuan was willing to help them, then he would also help him in the position of minister.

Yang Xiumei is obviously tempted. But she didn't speak.

Seeing her like this, Xiang Jin hesitated for a moment, and then the brow that had just been slightly furrowed loosened again. She regained her composure, took a slow sip of water, and diverted the topic.

When talking about other things, Yang Xiumei was obviously a little distracted, and Xiang Jin didn't care, she was distracted, indicating that what Xiang Jin said just now had moved her. As Xiang Jin expected, Yang Xiumei seemed indifferent, but in fact, she has always been very obsessed with some things in her heart.

After about twenty minutes, Liang Jian asked the waiter to serve tea. At this time, Liang Jian and Jiang Shihuan also returned. Jiang Shihuan's expression lost his previous excitement, thinking about it, Liang Jian had already told Jiang Shihuan about it.

"Brother Jiang, you taste this tea and see how it goes." As soon as Liang Jian sat down, he said.

Xiang Jin said: "The legality of this tea is not the same as that of ordinary tea. With that, she did it herself. Jiang Shihuan saw that she drank strangely, but he was attracted to it, and his face lost the slightly solemn look he had when he first came over.

Tea is good tea, and the way to drink it is strange enough, but I can't concentrate on drinking tea because I have something in my heart. Therefore, the four of them did not stay long.

When they separated, Liang Jian said to Jiang Shihuan: "Brother Jiang, you don't have to rush to answer me about that matter, but I really need your help." ”

Jiang Shihuan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said to him, "I will give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

Yang Xiumei glanced at the two of them with complicated eyes, and then followed Jiang Shihuan into the car.
