Chapter 22 Chapter 21

He Qile did not expect Huang Yifei to call him.The two of them naturally knew each other, but they had never dealt with each other alone. He Qile was a little hesitant about Huang Yifei's invitation to drink tea at the "Corridor Bridge Station", mainly because he didn't know what Huang Yifei's purpose in looking for him was, and he didn't know if the two of them would be embarrassed when they met.Although He Qile doesn't hold grudges about this suave rival in love a few years ago, he doesn't have a good impression either. In fact, it is very easy for He Qile to reject Huang Yifei, just say that he has no time.Consciously or unconsciously, He Qile raises his words and deeds to represent Lu Haifeng's image, and will not show off in front of outsiders, but it is true that he is busy with work and has a tight schedule.

He Qile asked Huang Yifei to talk on the phone if he had anything to do, but Huang Yifei stubbornly refused.Huang Yifei politely declined when he was invited to come to the office to talk.Huang Yifei said that his desire to see him was purely his own personal matter, and it was too serious to go to the office to discuss it.He said he could wait, if not today, wait for tomorrow, if not tomorrow, wait for the day after tomorrow, until He Qile has time. The private matter that Huang Yifei said made He Qile curious, but after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what kind of personal reasons Huang Yifei would come to him for.

He Qile wanted to talk to Liu Xu first, so he called her, but swallowed the words.Of course, he already knew what the marriage between Liu Xu and Huang Yifei was like, and if he asked her about Huang Yifei, he would probably make trouble with her. After returning home that day, He Qile mentioned to Qiu Yuchen that Huang Yifei was looking for him, and asked Qiu Yuchen to help him think about what Huang Yifei wanted to do.From He Qile's point of view, the two of them are really too close to each other. Qiu Yuchen joked with him, saying that this Huang Yifei was too vindictive, and he was still thinking about those old millet and rotten sesame seeds in the past.He Qile called her crazy.Qiu Yuchen thought about it seriously, but he couldn't figure out why.She said, if you want to know why he is looking for you, why don't you just meet him earlier?Do you have ghosts in your heart that you are afraid of meeting him?Is it worth worrying about this kind of people?He Qile naturally does not admit that he has a heart and a heart.Qiu Yuchen smiled and didn't pursue it any further.She just felt a little strange, He Qile is not a person who can't calm down, how could he be disturbed by a phone call from Huang Yifei?

After a lot of things happened, He Qile quickly forgot about Huang Yifei looking for him. Unexpectedly, he was entangled by Huang Yifei. He Qile once went to Pengcheng Hotel for Secretary Haifeng to meet a guest from Beijing.He Qile had no choice but to quickly set a tea time with him. They didn't go to the "Covered Bridge Station", although He Qile still liked that place, but because it was Huang Yifei's suggestion, they deliberately mentioned another place, as if this could show that they are not a person who can be easily manipulated.The tea house that He Qile mentioned was called Danqing Xinyu. It was newly opened not long ago, and it was also the first tea house in the provincial capital with the theme of calligraphy and painting art.Decorated in pure Chinese style, the hall and boxes are hung with calligraphy by famous local masters, and students from the musical instrument class of the Provincial Art School will perform in the hall from time to time.

Huang Yifei reserved a box early, and waited inside with An Qi, waiting for He Qile's arrival. He Qile was a few minutes late on purpose and did not apologize for his lateness.Huang Yifei didn't care about it, he and An Qi got up at the same time, and stretched out their hands to him.Huang Yifei's fingers were white and long, but when he shook hands with He Qile, he seemed to deliberately exert force in secret.An Qi's fingers are also fair and long, but they are a little smaller and much softer.When she shook hands with He Qile, she didn't use much force, she just stretched it out in front of him, let him pinch lightly, and then quickly retracted.Huang Yifei muttered, not knowing how he introduced An Qi, He Qile nodded and smiled at her, and never looked at her again.She sat quietly next to Huang Yifei, with her head buried, playing with the phone in her hand by herself.

Huang Yifei asked He Qile what kind of tea to drink, He Qile said casually, Huang Yifei smiled and said that there is no casual here.He Qile said, let's have a bottle of mineral water. Huang Yifei disagreed and recommended it to He Qile, saying that the Tieguanyin here is good.He Qile shook his head, saying that he was not in the habit of drinking tea, as long as he dipped in a little tea, he would suffer from insomnia at night.Huang Yifei said, no way?As a secretary with Secretary Lu Haifeng, you may have to work overtime at any time, so why don't you drink tea to refresh yourself?He Qile said that it was precisely because of this that he could not drink tea, otherwise, he would not be able to sleep after working overtime, and it would be miserable to go to work the next day.Huang Yifei nodded, expressing his approval of He Qile's statement, but he still insisted on He Qile's cup of Pu'er tea, saying that Pu'er tea is a fully fermented tea and will not affect sleep.He Qile shook his head stubbornly and insisted on drinking mineral water.Huang Yifei had no choice but to follow him.

Then, everyone shut up. He Qile's silence seemed natural, because he came here to listen to what Huang Yifei had to say.Huang Yifei's silence was to find an opportunity and a way to speak.Finally, he cleared his throat and chose to put forward his request straight to the point. He Qile watched Huang Yifei calmly when he spoke. Although he didn't show any expression, he didn't put on airs on purpose. Unexpectedly, Huang Yifei's request was even more extreme than Li Mingqi's. He not only asked He Qile for Secretary Lu Haifeng's calligraphy, but also hoped that Secretary Lu Haifeng would write an inscription for a charity art auction he was planning.

As soon as Huang Yifei finished speaking, He Qile shook his head unequivocally, and clearly told him how Secretary Lu Haifeng handled the words he wrote, expressing that he could not help. After being rejected, Huang Yifei was not reconciled, emphasizing that his auction is not for profit, and most of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to out-of-school children and left-behind children.Children's Day is approaching, and Secretary Lu Haifeng's inscription can reflect the care and concern of the party and government leaders in the province for the next generation of the motherland.

He Qile smiled and said: "Boss Huang obviously doesn't know much about the working rules of the people's government. Just like his speech, the inscriptions of leading cadres at the level of Secretary Lu Haifeng go beyond the scope of calligraphy art, and have political colors and organizational intentions. A random act." Huang Yifei said: "That's why I came to you and let you lobby Secretary Lu. Fortunately, this is a good deed that is beneficial to both public and private. Unless you don't want to help, otherwise, it should only be regarded as a piece of cake. It's a small matter, right?"

He Qile shook his head again, and said: "You think too highly of me, didn't I just say that? Secretary Haifeng's words and deeds must be bound by the working rules of the people's government, and I, a little secretary, cannot control them. Besides, the brand of the charity auction is not easy to play. You have to report to the civil affairs department first and get their approval. If you really need an inscription from a provincial leader, they will report it to the top, so you don’t need to jump around. of." Hearing this, Huang Yifei, who was pouring tea for himself with a teapot, couldn't help being taken aback, and stopped the movement of his hands, and even An Qi beside him couldn't help but look up at He Qile.

He Qile himself was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized to Huang Yifei.He is not familiar with Huang Yifei, so there is no need to say such heavy words. Huang Yifei immediately came back to his senses, just poured the tea to 70% full and stopped.He gently put the teapot on the table, smiled at He Qile, and said, "I don't have any imperial food to eat, so I have to jump around. Of course we will go to the civil affairs department, but it's easier to do some things the other way around." , For example, if Secretary Lu's calligraphy opens the way, we will save a lot of trouble." He Qile said in his heart, dare you use Secretary Lu as a gunman, you, Huang Yifei, take yourself too seriously, it is really difficult to talk to this kind of person, thinking of this, He Qile said: "This is your personal Thoughts, it's just that I really can't help you." Huang Yifei said: "Is it because you can't help me or you don't want to help me? Why don't you ask which auction company will organize this auction? Of course, you don't need to ask. It must be Yicheng Auction Company." He Qile smiled and said, "So what? Not to mention that Liu Xu never mentioned this to me, even if she asked me the same request, the result would be the same." "Really?" Huang Yifei raised his eyebrows, looked at He Qile, put on a slightly mysterious look, and smiled softly, "If I tell you that I have obtained Secretary Lu's calligraphy through other channels, you Will you believe it?" It was He Qile's turn to raise his eyebrows. He stared at Huang Yifei seriously for two or three seconds, then shook his head with a smile. "How about it, I said our Secretary He wouldn't believe it?" Huang Yifei touched An Qi next to him, smiled as if he had won a bet, and motioned her to take out the things.An Qi immediately took out a book from the big linen satchel she was carrying. It was the catalog of Yicheng Company's art auction last time. After flipping through it, she took out a book that was folded like a book. size banner. Huang Yifei gently clamped the paper with two fingers and handed it to He Qile.He Qile hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it over.He opened it, let his eyes rest on it for about ten seconds, and looked up at Huang Yifei again.Huang Yifei got up and stood behind him, stretched out his hand to help He Qile support a corner of the banner, leaned his head towards He Qile, and immediately a spring-like smile appeared on his face. He Qile turned his head to the outside and said, "Where did you get it?" He folded the banner as it was, and handed it to Huang Yifei who was still standing behind him. Huang Yifei picked it up and handed it to An Qi who was on the opposite side, watching her put it back into the book, and put it back into the big linen satchel.He returned to his seat, flicked his fisted fingers on the table one by one, making a short rhythmic crisp sound, looked at He Qile with a smile, and said: "Chickens have chicken ways, snakes have Snake Road." "I was a little bit unsure just now, but after hearing what you said, I'm sure." When He Qile said this, he responded to Huang Yifei with a smile, stopped on purpose, and stopped talking. Huang Yifei asked eagerly: "How do you say?" "Fake. Secretary Haifeng is also a student of Yan Liu. He is the director of the Rong family. He has a straight mind and a unique style. Even though the picture just now looks somewhat similar, it definitely does not have that kind of spirit and character." Huang Yifei looked at He Qile with a slightly provocative look and said, "Can Secretary He explain it in more detail?" He Qile met Huang Yifei's gaze, smiled, slowly picked up the mineral water bottle on the coffee table, took a sip slowly, and then put it back to its original place, then said: "Boss Huang is an expert, so he naturally knows Yan Zhenqing first learned from Chu Suiliang, and later learned from Zhang Xu. He also absorbed the characteristics of the four schools of the early Tang Dynasty. It also absorbs the handsome calligraphy style of the early Tang Dynasty, which is rigorous, stable, open and clear, and the brushwork is dexterous and majestic." Huang Yifei asked closely: "Where is Secretary Lu Haifeng's writing?" He Qile replied: "Strong and straight, with both square and round, strong and strong tendons." Huang Yifei tilted his neck, laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough. Secretary He knows the book and knows people. It seems that there is no hope for you to get away with it. Fortunately, you also admit that there is still room for it. Somewhat similar." "So what?" He Qile asked. "If it is printed on the publicity brochure of the auction, what will the effect be?" Huang Yifei answered with a question. "Forget it. Secretary Haifeng cherishes ink like gold, and few people have seen his writing. I'm afraid it won't work if you try to sell dog meat like this. Besides, aren't you afraid that the secretary of the provincial party committee will sue you for infringement?" "Okay, let me answer your questions one by one. First, Secretary Lu's words are indeed not widely circulated outside, but he has signed documents and other people's reports, right? You know what I mean The origin of the alphabet? I found it at the second-hand book stalls in the Perfume River Cultural Relics Market, and the old documents sold by the government have his approval. " He Qile smiled disdainfully. Huang Yifei pretended not to see, and continued to say: "I don't care if the common people know Secretary Lu's handwriting. They can't afford my paintings, and I take the high-end route. Secretary He is a member of the officialdom, so he should know that in our China, what a huge market the gray economy has. What is the gray economy? I'm not a theorist, and I'm not interested in defining it, but I can give an example. For example, eating, drinking, and entertainment, all the projects related to the projects that officials like to participate in, like Catering, entertainment city, leisure center, golf, etc., etc., how many of the people who spend there are self-drinking and self-entertaining? If there is no public money consumption, if there is no large or small Can small bosses rush to pay the bill, so they can prosper like this? So, I will focus on them, officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen. Or in other words, those who may accept bribes and those who may give bribes, It is my target customer; secondly, there is no name of Luo Haifeng on the banner, I did not say that this word was written by Secretary Lu Haifeng, and I have not been so stupid as to be stupid. Although we are now a society of democracy and the rule of law , but if the dignified secretary of the provincial party committee wants to deal with a person like me, isn't it like an elephant trampling an ant to death? I don't want to touch an egg with a stone. However, I can bet you on one point , as long as I print this word on the cover of the catalog, those who are likely to buy words and paintings will believe that this is Secretary Lu Haifeng's calligraphy, or I can make them believe it." "yes?" "An Qi, when Secretary He started appreciating the banners just now, you were playing with your mobile phone, didn't you accidentally take a picture of our intimate historic meeting?" An Qi raised her head when Huang Yifei called her, with a calm expression on her face, as if she didn't hear what Huang Yifei said.Both men looked at her, waiting for her answer.She looked directly at He Qile, and asked in a concerned tone: "Brother Le, would you like a cup of Kudingcha? Kudingcha can dispel the fire." He Qile said: "Thank you, no need, I don't seem to be angry." If Angie smiles when she asks a question, or emphasizes a certain syllable and turns it into a glide or glide, He Qile may really feel uncomfortable, because it will make him feel that he is being played. , being ridiculed, and calculated, he hates people who treat others as fools and think they can do it.Now, he didn't take it to heart. First, he wouldn't get angry with a girl casually, which would make him seem too petty; in addition, what Huang Yifei said just now always gave him a very unreal feeling, like It's a child's play house game.He knew that Huang Yifei had opened an advertising company, but he didn't expect that he wanted to have a hand in the art auction. You can just do your art auction, why make things so complicated? Does Liu Xu know about his plans? Huang Yifei seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and the topic really turned to her, saying: "If our President Liu knows that Secretary He is getting involved with me, I don't know what he will think." He Qile said: "Who got involved with you? Boss Huang said that, is he too naive, or is he too self-righteous?" Huang Yifei said: "This society is most suitable for the survival and dissemination of rumors and lies. Don't you think that the matter I designed is actually very logical, so it is very operable? As long as there is a little bit of reliability, we will take hesitant The technique of holding the pipa half-covered and deliberately concealed, there must be many people who would rather believe it than not. At that time, of course you will not be happy, because it will somewhat damage your image, and It is impossible for you to explain the truth of the matter to everyone, because everyone will never discuss this matter openly. It is also impossible for you to explain this matter to Lu Haifeng. Companion to a king is like a companion to a tiger, what is going on in the head of a big man Who can figure it out. On the other hand, if you really have to explain it, it will be better for me if you really want to explain it. It is actually more beneficial to me. It means that you are serving as a volunteer propagandist for me. I don’t think you will I hope this kind of thing happens, and our President Liu doesn't want this kind of thing to happen, right?" "It's not our Mr. Liu, it's your wife." He Qile couldn't help but raise his voice a few degrees, glanced away at An Qi, and quickly fixed his eyes on Huang Yifei again, and continued: "It's already harmful for you to do this." People's hearts are broken. Can you harm people? Can't you harm yourself?" "Only people who are unhappy in life will think of harming others, and now I am on the verge of love and pain, and there is nothing I can do about it." Huang Yifei curled his mouth, sneered, and said, "Did I just say that the auction will be held in the future?" Doing it in the name of Yicheng Auction Company? It’s a pity that so far this is still my wishful thinking. In order to get her to agree to hold an auction under the brand of the company, I begged her a lot. I treat her as my wife, but she doesn't treat me as my husband. Well, I won't tell you about these family scandals. You are someone who has influence on her. She won't listen to what I say, and she won't listen to what you say .” "If she doesn't agree with you holding an auction in the name of her company, she must have a reason. Why should I try to persuade her to do something she thinks she has reason to do?" He Qile said in a relaxed tone, "The market There are so many auction companies here, can't you just find one?" "Yicheng Company did this kind of auction when it opened. After the end, we and you two got together. Have you really forgotten? That auction, whether it's social or economic benefits , are all good. I don’t understand, why can’t I do business again? Now I will answer your second question. My wife owns an auction company, and I find someone else to cooperate. Do you think this is normal? What? What will people outside think about it? That would put me in a position of being questioned from the very beginning, too uncreative, right?" An Qi heard that Huang Yifei had a "couple" on the left and a "wife" on the right, and looked up at him, but said nothing, and still played with her mobile phone with her head down. He Qile stopped talking.It is impossible for him not to know about Huang Yifei's quarrel with Liu Xu. On this issue, his heart is undoubtedly towards Liu Xu, but Liu Xu has never mentioned this matter to him.He didn't know her attitude, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to interrupt indiscriminately.Besides, who knows if Huang Yifei and An Qi are playing oboe?If she had really taken a picture with her mobile phone just now, it is entirely possible to record it with her mobile phone.He Qile is an upright person, of course he is not afraid of Huang Yifei sending people to take pictures and record recordings, but the little devil is difficult to deal with, just like when you get off the bus at the intersection of the bustling pedestrian street, every time a beggar comes and blocks the car door, you will throw him a piece The money is like fifty cents, for fear of being entangled, and for getting out as soon as possible. He Qile took out his mobile phone and checked the time on it. He didn't want to stay with Huang Yifei anymore. Huang Yifei said: "Secretary He, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. I don't use her brand in vain, I have brought it up, except that the operation fee of the auction is completely borne by me, not only the commission can be distributed, even the auction All the transaction money can be distributed, but she just doesn't agree. What do you think she thinks?" He Qile didn't intend to speak. Huang Yifei seemed to be happy with He Qi, and also said to himself: "You may ask me, if I did not cooperate with her but with other companies, would I be so generous? Of course not. Am I crazy? Did you give away your hard-earned money to others for no reason, do you think I really want to be a philanthropist? Not everyone can be a philanthropist. First, he must have money; Second, his money may not come from a proper source, and he is not at ease spending it alone. He thinks that he can launder the money by doing some good deeds. I am different. The money I earn is 100% clean and legal. The reason why I treat our Liu It's always different, that's because... Aren't we still divorced? What if we are divorced? She will always be the mother of my daughter Gege. So, I have nothing to do with her who earns more and who earns less. Big, the fat water has not flowed into the fields of outsiders." He Qile still didn't speak, but his eyes still stayed on Huang Yifei's face, without wandering at all, he wanted to hear what else he could say. Huang Yifei said unhurriedly: "The art auctions in Beijing and Shanghai are very popular now. I have to do it quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Do you know why?" Presumably anticipating that He Qile would not pick up on him, he continued on his own: "The reason is very simple, there is no such thing as a hundred-day success, and it won't be long before those idiots will realize it." "Who are the idiots?" He Qile thought for a while, and felt that this question could still be asked. Huang Yifei laughed silently, stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, as if it was a punishment for not closing it firmly, he thought for a while, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "I don't know what you think of me, but Since I managed to ask you out, I have to be honest with you first. How should I put it? My recent situation is quite bad. To put it simply, my advertising company is about to close down. I still have some The paintings are all collected in recent years. I want to sell them and exchange some money to tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, my life will be very difficult. If my life is a mess, I really can’t imagine whether it will affect Liuxu .But, for some reason, she doesn't seem to understand the causal relationship." He Qile stared at Huang Yifei, as if judging whether his statement was really honest enough.He thought for a while and suggested, "Maybe you should have a good talk with her?" "I just wanted to have a good talk with her. It's nice that everyone is so calm. But, you know, she's very stubborn, and she just doesn't have the patience to listen to me. That's why I came to you. I believe Your influence on her. Hey, it's very sad, I want to talk to my wife, but I have to go through someone else." Huang Yifei said. He Qile shook his head silently. "Don't shake your head. If I can convince her, I will never invite you here to put a high hat on you face to face." Huang Yifei raised his head at this point, sighed at the chandelier above his head, and looked at it After a pause of five or six seconds before putting it down, he motioned to An Qi to open the bag, and asked her to take out the lettering. He took it over without opening it, and tore it horizontally and vertically into shredded paper in his hand. He looked at He Qile again and said: "The matter about Lu Haifeng's inscription just now is purely joking. I just came to you for one thing. Please be sure." Send a message to Liu Xu, you can't be too extreme in your behavior. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble." He Qile was almost moved by Huang Yifei's words describing his situation just now.Hearing Huang Yifei's last threatening words, he couldn't help feeling nauseated. He felt that there was really no need for him to stay with Huang Yifei any longer. He looked at the time on the phone again, smiled, moved the chair under his buttocks, stood up, and said: "If you came to me just to talk about this, I think this matter will stop here, whether you are looking for Haifeng I can't help you whether the secretary asks for words, or lobbying Liu Xu. I'm sorry, I still have an appointment, I'm afraid I have to leave first. How about it, I'll pay the bill?" Huang Yifei didn't seem to be surprised either, he quickly stood up, and at the same time he didn't forget to signal to An Qi, and said without delay, "I invited you, of course I have to pay the bill. No matter how poor I am, It's still affordable to buy you a cup of tea, not to mention that what you drink is still plain water. Oh, no, it's mineral water, you won't even give this little face?" "That's good." He Qile said, pretending not to see Huang Yifei's slightly raised right hand towards him, politely smiled at An Qi who was looking up at him, turned and left the box. "A little hard to deal with, isn't it?" An Qi waited until the sound of He Qile's footsteps had completely disappeared, then put her hand on her chin, looked at Huang Yifei with misty eyes, and asked. Huang Yifei smiled and said, "I'm not that pessimistic. I even think he left us in such a hurry just to see my wife." "Are you jealous?" Angie said. "I'm jealous? Why am I jealous?" Huang Yifei answered with a question. "It's best if you don't get jealous, but let me tell you, I'm upset, I'm very upset." "What's the matter, little fool?" "Why do you leave one of my wife and right one of my wife? Then who am I to you?" "You are little... baby, my dear baby. Come on, don't eat dry vinegar, let's replace wine with tea and celebrate our phased victory." "Everyone left in a huff, what's there to celebrate?" "You are not really stupid, are you? I bet that the surname He will contact Liu Xu today. As long as the surname He finds her, there is still hope for this matter, very hopeful." "you sure?" "I am sure." Huang Yifei's prediction was correct, He Qile called Liu Xu as soon as he left the tea house.He didn't mention Huang Yifei's matter on the phone.This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words, he only asked her if she had time, so that it was not convenient to meet her. Liu Xu told him that she helped Ge Ge tidy up the room at home, and Xiao Hong took Ge Ge to the cinema to watch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". He Qile said that he was going to visit her at her house, but she hesitated and agreed. He Qile bought some seasonal fruits for Gege in the supermarket. Seeing a flower stand next to the cashier, it was colorful, so he couldn't help walking over to watch it.The shopping guide came over immediately, looked at him with a smile, and asked him what flowers he needed.He Qile said to take a look at it casually.The shopping guide didn't let him go, and asked him softly, is he going to give it to his wife or girlfriend?He Qile feels that the shopping guides in shopping malls and supermarkets are really annoyingly enthusiastic, as if the customers have neither eyes nor brains, so it's hard to say anything about them.He Qile gave her a dissatisfied look, then turned and walked towards the cashier.He came back after taking two steps, and decided to buy a bunch of flowers for Liu Xu.He didn't know much about flower language, and he didn't want to ask the shopping guide, lest she babble a lot of nonsense. Seeing a blue flower blooming calmly in the vase, he picked ten of them and asked the shopping guide miss bag
