Chapter 54: We don’t want to be friends like this

"Oh... if the secretary-general is okay, I'll treat you tonight..." Being chased by someone to "demand an account", Liu Yang couldn't say whether to treat him another day.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiqi chuckled and took over the topic: "Just in time, I'm free tonight..."

"Uh...hehe..." I'm free tonight, what else do you say? Liu Yang could only agree with a smile.

"Giggle? Why do you look like this? Are you afraid that I will make you poor?" Yang Qiqi seemed very happy when she saw Liu Yang was embarrassed. "Tell me, where can we eat?"

Liu Yang smiled and said, "Well, where does the secretary-general live? Find a place close to your home so that you can go back easily."

Liu Yang asked her with a smile, and the corner of his eyes glanced at her neckline unconsciously. As the elevator bumped slightly, Yang Qiqi's pair of lotuses wrapped in a bra swayed softly, as if they were cooked.

Like a peach, Liu Yang felt a little confused.

After all, he is an energetic young man. In this short period of time, he first met Fang Yuzhu, and then he ate marrow and tasted it with Li Shanshan and Jiang Haiyan. Seeing this beautiful scenery, it is inevitable that he would become confused.

"My family lives on the outskirts of the city..." Yang Qiqi said, seeming to have noticed the direct look in Liu Yang's eyes as she looked directly at her. Otherwise, she lowered her head and glanced at herself, then raised her head again and looked at

Liu Yang had a half-smiling look on his face.

Since she came to work in the city government, because Yang Qiqi knew Zheng Junjian's attitude towards her at that time, she had been relatively silent and rarely talked to men. Now she was suddenly "see through" by such a hot-blooded young man, and she couldn't help but feel...

A strange feeling arose. The heart that had been with her for more than thirty years was beating like a deer, and she actually felt like a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a budding feeling of spring.

Liu Yang didn't know that the charming young woman in front of him was also panicking, and continued with a smile on his face: "Secretary-General, I didn't expect you to be so fashionable? Nowadays, successful people in the city are moving to the countryside. Why is the air in the countryside fresh?

."

Yang Qiqi squinted, looked at Liu Yang charmingly and said with a smile: "Gee, do you still want to say: 'We just entered the city, you are going to the countryside; we just started eating meat, you are going to become vegetarian'

"We have just married a wife, and you are getting divorced again!"

"Haha, so the secretary-general has heard of this jingle?" Liu Yang smiled and asked.

Yang Qiqi continued: "Yeah, living in the city now, it's really like 'I don't wake up in the spring, the trumpets are noisy everywhere. The sound of wind and rain at night, how many nightmares I know'. 'Hearing the singing of birds everywhere' has become a luxury."

No wonder people in cities now yearn for the pastoral life in the countryside. Living in a house where you can hear the chirping of birds is a kind of taste and has become a symbol of wealth. That's why 'farmhouses' are so prosperous now.

, farm food is very popular, and it would be even better if there was a local free-range hen stewed in soup. A newly developed scenic spot in Sihe County is called 'Yesangou', with the slogan "eat farm food and live in a farm house"

I once went there with some colleagues to play with the sign of the house. When I got there, I realized I had been fooled. If I had known better, I might as well have gone back to my hometown to stay for a few days."

Liu Yang laughed while listening, and the distance between the two people invisibly narrowed a lot. After she finished speaking, Liu Yang asked: "The secretary-general's family also lives in a rural area?"

"Well...my hometown is..." Yang Qiqi hummed softly. Before she finished speaking, she heard a "ding" and the elevator had reached the bottom floor.

As the elevator door opened, I heard someone outside complaining loudly: "The weather was fine just now, why did it rain all of a sudden..."

On the other side, there were people who echoed and cursed: "Yeah, damn it, it won't rain until I get off work... Oh, let's not talk about it. My umbrella is in the office and I have to go back. It's annoying..."

Is it raining? Liu Yang stepped out of the elevator and took two steps forward. Looking at the heavy rain outside the building door, he shook his head.

Before leaving the office just now, I checked whether the window was closed properly and took a special look outside. It seemed that the sky was still clear outside. Why did it start raining so quickly?

At this moment, I suddenly heard a girl's voice shouting: "Xia Lan, if you don't go back to get your umbrella, how can you leave?"

Liu Yang looked over following the sound and saw a group of men and women on the west side. Li Xue, Liu Yi, Su Hong and others from the Secretarial Department and the Comprehensive Department were all standing in the crowd. Xia Lan was alone carrying a small bag.

Standing at the back, Yusi looked outside with a blank expression. Even when Su Hong called her, she had no reaction.

"Xiao Li, please drive your car under the awning. I'm at the door of the lobby." Chen Weichang, the secretary-general of the municipal government, is a full-time official, but the words "enjoying deputy department-level treatment" are added in brackets. This Yang Qiqi

The deputy secretary-general is also the director of the inspection office. Her rank is division level and she is also a cadre equipped with a special car.

However, her special car is not an Audi, but a Honda Accord.

"Liu Yang, let's wait a moment, my car will be there soon..." Just when she finished calling the driver Xiao Li and turned to talk to Liu Yang, she found that Liu Yang had already walked behind the group of people on the west side of the hall and was talking to him.

A girl wearing a white short-sleeved jacket with light blue vertical stripes, black trousers, and high-heeled sandals was talking.

"Xia Lan? It's not that they have... It seems that rumors are just rumors, and not much is true..." Yang Qiqi held her shoulders with her hands and stood watching Liu Yang and Xia Lan talking.

"Why did you go to work today and didn't take a good two days' rest..." Seeing Xia Lan also in the hall, Liu Yang felt that he should go over and say a few words.

"Are you caring about me? What is the relationship between us? Why do you care about me?" Xia Lan replied coldly.

Liu Yang knew that she was resentful towards him, so he smiled and said, "Don't say that, even if we are not... we are still friends. Even if we are not even friends, we are still colleagues."

"Friend..." Xia Lan glanced at him coldly, then opened her mouth and read a poem by Zhang Xiaoxian.

"Excuse me: Can I continue to share my happiness with you? Can I cry on your shoulder? Can I still talk to you on the phone every day? When I want to see you, do I not need any excuse? When I am lonely

, will you accompany me? Will you hug me when I want to hug you? Can I know who you associate with? Who is she? How much do you like her? Can I share your worries? I

Can I be coquettish to you? Can I still sleep at your house? Can I still keep the key to your house? Can I still eat with your family? If I miss you so much today, can I sleep next to you?

Can you spend your birthday with me? I want to be this kind of friend with you. If not, let’s not be this kind of friend..."

(I liked this poem so much that I copied it all. Fortunately, it was a free chapter, so there was no suspicion of cheating.)

"Xia Lan..." Liu Yangxin said, if you had been so determined ten days ago, I would have knelt down to propose to you. If you had had this spirit a year ago, our children would have run away now.

.It's just that now I'm different from the old me. I've incurred a lot of love debts. How can I... It was you who said we broke up, so why do you blame me in turn?

Xia Lan glanced at him and sneered: "Haha, it seems that we really can't even be friends? Then what else do you say?"

"Xia Lan, that's not what I meant?"

"Then what do you mean? Go away and stop talking..."

"Why don't you invite Xia Lan to have dinner with you? Do you think I'm in the way?" Seeing Liu Yang coming back, Yang Qiqi said with a smile, but found that Liu Yang's expression was a bit wrong, so she smiled and changed the topic:

"My car will be here soon, do you want to see her off?"

Liu Yang shook his head and said: "No...thank you Secretary-General..."

"What's the matter, are you having a quarrel?" Gossip is a woman's nature, and even Yang Qiqi, the deputy secretary-general, still can't change it.

In fact, she also knew that she shouldn't ask about this kind of thing, but she couldn't help it and asked anyway.

"No... Actually, there was nothing to argue about..." Liu Yang smiled bitterly and looked back again. But where Xia Lan was standing, she was no longer there.

"...If it's not possible, let's not be friends like this..." Sitting in the car, Liu Yang was still thinking about the little poem Xia Lan had just read.

Let the past pass. In fact, this is not bad...

"What are you thinking about? Get out of the car..." The car stopped at the door of Yixiangyuan according to Yang Qiqi's instructions. She had already got out of the car, but she saw Liu Yang sitting in the car still without any reaction and knocking on the door.

Knocked on the car window and shouted.

"Oh? Oh, we're already here...Secretary-General, didn't you say that the area near your door is isolated? Why did you park the car here?" Liu Yang looked at the gold sign in front of the Yixiangyuan store, feeling a little stupid.

asked blankly.

This place is not far from the city hall dormitory, just around the corner.

"I was afraid that someone would get drunk and I wouldn't be able to carry him, so I had no choice but to come here." Yang Qiqi looked at Liu Yang who got out of the car and said with a smile.

"How could it be?" Liu Yang said, shaking his hair, looking at the car driving down the steps and asking: "Why did you let the car go?"

"Xiao Li's wife is about to give birth. It's time to get off work. I can't be unkind, right?" Yang Qiqi said as she walked towards the door of Yixiangyuan Hall.

Liu Yang followed her closely. Just as the two of them were about to enter, they saw a man in his fifties walking out of the brown glass revolving door. When he saw Yang Qiqi standing in front of him, the man immediately smiled and extended his hand.

Shake hands with Yang Qiqi: "What a coincidence, Secretary-General Yang is also here for dinner?"

This man wore glasses and looked polite, but as soon as he held Yang Qiqi's hand, the eyes under the glasses sparkled with a greedy look: "Every time I see you, I feel like

My eyes lit up and I saw that Secretary-General Yang is indeed extraordinary in temperament and stunningly beautiful."
