Chapter 403: The First Confrontation
Career in Power -
The next day, Zhao Qinghong called Lu Yan at the same time. It was still 11 o'clock in the morning, and he was picked up downstairs at Lu Yan's house at the same place.
This arrangement made Lu Yan feel that Zhao Qinghong was a thoughtful and cautious person. You must know that Zhao Qinghong is not an idle person. She is the manager of a listed company. You don’t need to think about it to know that she is very busy, but she can
If the time arrangement is precise, a lot of work needs to be done in advance.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel a little more vigilant towards Zhao Qinghong. This woman was definitely not as innocent as she looked on the outside. Regardless of her background, she was also a very strong person in terms of personality. Faced with such
As an opponent, Lu Yan believed that this was definitely a moderate challenge to him.
Zhao Qinghong wore a black loose top and dark blue suit pants today, which gave the impression that she was much smarter and more capable. Lu Yan was not in a very good mood, and there was no smile on his face.
After getting in the car, neither of them spoke. Zhao Qinghong looked at him, smiled, and said, "Director Lu, who owes you money you won't pay back?"
"No one owes me money."
"Then who are you showing off to?" Zhao Qinghong continued to say with a smile.
"Forget it, I originally promised my wife and children to go to the park to play today. When I got up in the morning, I told her that I had something to do today, and she was unhappy. She even talked about emotional problems online. Women, they are too emotional and unreasonable.
." Lu Yan attributed his unhappiness to family reasons, but in fact he really wanted to show off to Zhao Qinghong, telling her to be wise and not to do anything like yesterday.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault, causing you two to disagree." Zhao Qinghong apologized hurriedly, but the sincerity in her tone was not very high.
Lu Yan knew in his heart that what Zhao Qinghong said was just that kind of talk. But it was enough to have an attitude, and he didn't expect this apology attitude to solve the problem.
With a long sigh, Lu Yan changed the subject and said, "As far as I know, sports like golf are only leisure activities for the wealthy class. Playing golf is not suitable for people of my status."
"Why is it not suitable? Golf is first of all a means of elegant upper-class interpersonal communication. It is more suitable for an official like you than playing mahjong or something like that. But you don't have to worry about the bad influence, you are not
Membership is just an invitation." Zhao Qinghong seemed to have seen through all the thoughts in Lu Yan's heart, and immediately expressed all Lu Yan's concerns.
Lu Yan heard something in her words and pretended to be puzzled and said: "Member? So, those who go to the golf course don't just buy tickets to get in?"
"There are also places that sell tickets, but the place we went to today is over at Jinsha Valley, and generally only members can enter."
"That's right." Lu Yan became more focused and said, "So, are you a member there?"
"I'm not a member. That place is opened by my uncle, and I also have some shares in it. I can be considered a small shareholder." Zhao Qinghong explained.
"Your uncle? Who is he?" Lu Yan asked with curiosity on his face. Since he was on a mission, he still had to learn as much information as possible about finding Zhao Qinghong.
"Zhao Jingzhi." After Zhao Qinghong said the name, he saw that Lu Yan's face was still confused, so he explained: "My uncle Zhao Jingzhi is an American, to be more precise, a Chinese American. He founded Likang
The group has branches in more than 30 countries and regions.”
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Then, you don't need to think about it to know that he must be very rich."
"You are confused. In fact, this is not a question of money, but another level of thinking. Well, let's put it this way, Likang Group has a great influence among the Chinese. Not only many large companies but also
Likang Group has business dealings, and there are many people who are attached to this big tree, and Likang Group is their food and clothing parent."
"Oh, that's right." Lu Yan said as if he suddenly understood, "Then, your status is also very prominent. No wonder you became a company manager at such a young age."
Zhao Qinghong's face turned slightly red and she said: "I became this manager based solely on my personal ability and has nothing to do with my uncle. And I am a professional manager now, not working in a family business. Don't treat me like a manager."
Think of him as the kind of person who relies on the protection of his relatives to be reused."
Lu Yan's eyes were so sharp, he heard a sense of reluctance in Zhao Qinghong's words. Obviously, if Zhao Qinghong was not disguising herself, her ambition would definitely be more than just experience in a listed company. But a year
Being a senior white-collar worker with an income of more than one million yuan is the dream pursuit of countless people, but Zhao Qinghong is not satisfied. So, what does she need?
Lu Yan asked in a gossipy manner: "How much money can you make in a year?"
"Why are you asking this question? Is it vulgar?" Zhao Qinghong did not expect that Lu Yan would give up the topic of Zhao Jingzhi and bring it back to himself. Logically speaking, Zhao Qinghong's annual income is a very personal topic.
However, this is China, and people talk about their annual income and spouse's situation. Although personal topics are taboo in Europe and the United States, in China, such taboos are not taboo.
Zhao Qinghong has been in China for a long time. In the past, whenever someone asked her this question, she would get annoyed. However, as time went by, she has gotten used to it. Therefore, when Lu Yan asked her, he just declined politely.
Well, if it had been in the past, Zhao Qinghong might have asked Lu Yan to get out of the car right now.
Lu Yan said: "There is absolutely no intention to offend. You and I are just ordinary people. I will never be so aloof as to not eat the fireworks of the world."
"I've finally convinced you. Do you need a reason to say anything? Even if you offend me a little more, I can't be angry with you." She had great conversation skills and brought the topic to Lu Yan.
Regarding their relationship, the two began to joke again, but they never mentioned their annual income.
Lu Yan listened to her joking interruptions and liked this topic in his heart. Didn't Yang Ruomei ask him to make friends with Zhao Qinghong? Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Zhao Qinghong who was driving next to him with the corner of his eyes. He was not too old and had a full body.
Heat radiates up and down
The charm of a mature woman full of passion. A woman should be the most brilliant at this age. If she is older, she will be desolate with all the flowers falling. If she is ten years younger, she will be immature and ignorant of the world. A thirty-year-old woman has a kind of
Wisdom and chicness after reading all the world.
Although he didn't know what Zhao Qinghong's mysterious identity was, Lu Yan felt a fondness and pity for her in his heart. He unknowingly thought of a poem: Such a woman should ride in an orchid boat with a small leaf.
, the boat riding the wind and waves picked up a handful of cool water drops to accompany her. Her laughter and beauty were only comparable to the glory of the sunset.
Thinking of these, Lu Yan's eyes had a warm expression. Zhao Qinghong clearly felt the change in his mood, but couldn't guess what he was thinking. At this moment, Zhao Qinghong slowed down the car and said softly: "
We're here."
Lu Yan looked up and saw that Hua Restaurant had arrived. He went up the steps and saw that the seats had been reserved early. The two of them sat face to face. There was a table that could accommodate ten people, and they opened up the distance between them.
Distance. Lu Yan frowned and said, "Let's change to a small table. This one is a bit too big. It takes a lot of effort to talk."
Zhao Qinghong said: "I like a big table. When eating like this, my personal space will increase many times."
"I have read a psychology book, and it says that people in your situation are people with a sense of crisis inside." Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Qinghong and said, this is not that he is being alarmist, it is indeed in a book
I have seen this analysis in books. If a person likes to eat and sleep in a large space, it means that this person is full of a sense of crisis.
"A sense of crisis?" Zhao Qinghong repeated in surprise, but her heart was suddenly shocked, as if Lu Yan had understood her own thoughts. She said quibly: "No, I definitely don't have a sense of crisis, I just like to be more free.
"
"You have to know that in this world, absolute freedom cannot exist. A person is either bound by law, morality, or influenced by status and emotions. Complete freedom is a luxury." Lu Yan continued to read.
Zhao Qinghong said, from Zhao Qinghong's actions just now, Lu Yan already knew that his dangerous words had reached her heart.
Lu Yan's words deeply touched the sensitive nerves in Zhao Qinghong's heart. Lu Yan was the first person to say these words in front of her. At this moment, the mask of a strong woman she had always disguised was ruthlessly torn away by Lu Yan.
On the surface, Lu Yan was talking about an ordinary truth, but in fact he was talking about Zhao Qinghong.
As a member of the Intelligence Bureau, Lu Yan knows the hard work of being an agent. The secret that needs to cover up one's identity all the time lingers in his mind every moment and every second, and he cannot tell or tell anyone.
You can't get rid of this identity by sharing the pain in your heart. Using yourself to save others, I think Zhao Qinghong had the same idea in her heart, but she didn't know what kind of secret was buried in her heart.
Zhao Qinghong's eyes suddenly went blank for only three seconds. She immediately woke up and said quickly: "I didn't expect that Director Lu is also a philosopher and understands so many great principles. It's really strange."
After saying this, Zhao Qinghong hurriedly picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, hiding her embarrassment and uneasiness.
"An official must first be proficient in social philosophy before he can understand what the people need. The great thing about faith is that our will is cultivated to be as strong as steel." Lu Yan began to go around the circle again, testing Zhao Qinghong.
Wave after wave. And it was very particular. When her mood fluctuated, when her heartstrings were played, Lu Yan ran away immediately.
The result of this is that Zhao Qinghong is increasingly curious and dependent on Lu Yan. Listening to Lu Yan's words, Zhao Qinghong feels stronger and stronger, as if Lu Yan will bring some unexpected changes to her.
