C31 Silently retracting his gaze … (1/2)

”Mei Ling, bring Jiang Feng to the entrance to receive him.” Secretary Ma looked at his watch.

Mei Ling stood up and walked out, I hastily followed behind.

When we reached a corner where there was no one around, Mei Ling suddenly slowed down her footsteps. When I passed by her, she suddenly touched my butt.

I jumped in fright and looked at her, just in time to see Mei Ling's provocative and teasing eyes.

I didn't say anything, but silently withdrew my gaze and walked away.

Seeing that I did not make a sound, Mei Ling followed behind me and quickly reached out to pat my butt.

I still didn't say anything, but I quickened my pace.

Walking to the restaurant's entrance, I saw an Audi car drive over and stop, then get off the car. There were three people, they were unexpectedly Corydalis, Director Zhang, and one was Liu Yue.

I was stunned, both surprised and happy, when did Liu Yue come over? I didn't even know.

Looking at the way Liu Yue and the Corydalis were speaking so intimately, my heart was sour and I was a little unhappy.

Mei Ling suddenly walked forward, her face blossoming into a beautiful and passionate smile, as she shook hands with Corydalis and Director Zhang, and hugged onto Liu Yue's arms.

I understand, this is the guest Mei Ling and I are going to receive, this is the guest Secretary Ma is going to invite today, the guest is actually them.

Afterwards, I also went over and shook hands with Corydalis, Director Zhang and Liu Yue.

In front of Director Zhang and Mei Ling, Corydalis was very polite to me. He didn't call me Little Cousin, instead, he greeted me with the reserved look that a leader would normally have, ”Xiao Jiang is here too …”

I'm naturally called ”Minister Yang,” not ”Corydalis.”

Seeing me shake hands with Liu Yue, the Corydalis smiled, but her eyes still looked at Liu Yue as she smiled instead of looking at me. Perhaps he felt that it was very interesting that her cousin had to pretend to be tactful in this kind of situation.

Director Zhang was very happy to see me. He held my hand and shook it: ”Yo? Reporter Jiang, Jiang Hai said with a brush, hehe … ”We meet again …”

”Director Zhang, you should just call me Xiao Jiang …” I said to the Director Zhang humbly.

The Director Zhang obviously had a good impression of me. While talking to me, he patted my shoulder, and as I walked towards the private room, he even affectionately embraced my shoulder for a while.

watched the entire time with a smile, and did not say much.

When we arrived at the private room, Secretary Ma invited everyone to take their seats, and Secretary Ma sat at his seat. Mei Ling sat at his side as well as the host and vice principal, while Liu Yue and I sat at his and her seats.

Director Zhang had originally wanted to invite Corydalis to take a seat of honor, but Corydalis insisted: ”Old classmate, you're the leader from the province, and also a guest. You have to sit here …”

Director Zhang humbly agreed and then gave up.

Everyone sat down, the food and wine were all served, the Secretary Ma was obviously very happy, waiting for the waiter to pour the wine, he raised his cup: ”Director Zhang, Minister Yang, today is a day of celebration, our River Sea has sent an outstanding talent to the province, this is the glory of our River, and is also the result of the Minister Yang's nurture, the Director Zhang is truly talented … …”

I immediately understood that they were here to send Liu Yue off today. Director Zhang had formally come to meet Liu Yue and had gone through the formalities.

Sure enough, the Secretary Ma continued to speak: ”Although Liu Yue has worked in the past for some time, the official procedures have just been completed. Today's wine can be considered as an official seeing off wine, and it's also our honor for the Director Zhang to personally represent the Provincial Committee Advocacy Department in picking up Liu Yue …”

Everyone had smiles on their faces. Secretary Ma had an exaggerated smile, Director Zhang had a very reserved smile, Corydalis was laughing very happily, Liu Yue was smiling very warmly, Mei Ling had a very ugly smile, and I, on the other hand, was smiling very brightly. This was because I had scanned the corner of my eyes until Corydalis was smiling, causing me to feel very uncomfortable.

However, after a while, my mood improved a little, because I saw Liu Yue's gaze warm and gentle looking at me from time to time.

The Secretary Ma continued his opening speech, ”From our perspective, from our perspective, from our perspective, the Jianghai Daily newspaper, we have suffered a loss. We have lost an excellent writing worker, a good reporter from the Party newspaper, and a good Communist, but from the perspective of the province, standing in the overall situation of the propaganda work, and from the perspective of Comrade Liu Yue's personal development, our loss is worth it … So, today's wine has three different meanings. First, I would like to thank Comrade Liu Yue for her contribution to the development of Jianghai Daily, and to thank you for your help and support after I transferred to the newspaper. Second, I would like to send off my greetings to Comrade Liu Yue to the Provincial Committee Advocacy Department to work, to do a job that is more suitable for me, and to make full use of my abilities.

After saying the third point, Secretary Ma looked at Corydalis meaningfully. ”Am I right?

Corydalis was very happy, he nodded his head: ”That's right, very good, Xiao Tian is right, very good!”

Both of them were officials at the main county level, yet Corydalis dared to call Secretary Ma ”Xiao Tian”, so Secretary Ma didn't dare to call him by his name. Although they were both of the same rank, they all had different positions.

Seeing the look in Secretary Ma's eyes, I knew what Secretary Ma meant. Secretary Ma must have known about Corydalis's love for Liu Yue, and was trying to curry favor with Corydalis.
