Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Fog
Get in the car sent by Tengda to pick up the plane, and the car starts to drive to Pengcheng.Visibility was very low, and the car drove very slowly. From time to time, a huge container truck passed by, and the water column hit the body, making a loud bang, which was terrifying.In fact, the driver's skills were not mentioned, but today's weather is really bad.
Xu Xinran said to Zhang Ai in a low voice: "It turns out that the ground is more terrifying than the sky."
Zhang Ai snorted: "It's raining, what are you afraid of?"
Even though she said that, she still felt a little stiff in her body, her eyes kept staring at the front. Although the speed of the cars heading towards Pengcheng was not fast, and they all had double flashing lights, the heavy rain still made people feel, In front of nature, human beings are so small.
"Why is it raining so hard?" Xu Xinran frowned as he passed a broken down container truck.
Zhang Ai understood that he was covering up his inner fear and didn't want to provoke him, so he said, "Isn't that good? There will be no water shortage in Pengcheng throughout this winter. Besides, water represents wealth. Encountering such a heavy rain shows that Tengda will have a big development."
Xu Xinran smiled reluctantly, and Zhang Ai pinched his face gently: "This smile is uglier than crying."
Xu Xinran took Zhang Ai's hand down and glanced at Zeng Rou, who was looking at the iPad.Xu Xinran was a little shy, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Another container truck passed by with a bang. Zeng Rou seemed taken aback. She turned her head to look at Zhang Ai and Xu Xinran, and smiled: "It seems that this trip to Europe is still effective, so sticky. ?”
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Ai was also a little embarrassed, and quickly covered up: "Oh, I forgot to call Xu Qi." Then, he went to his bag to get the phone.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Zhang Ai's phone rang, and when Zhang Ai answered, it was Mao Yinghua.Mao Yinghua asked: "Are you there?"
Zhang Ai let out a "hmm", and Mao Yinghua went on to say, "Shen Chengxue and I will give Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu a chance at night. Where do you think is convenient?"
Zhang Ai thought for a while and replied: "Well, let's go to the club. I haven't been there for many days."
Mao Yinghua smiled: "How dare you? How dare you pay for my treat?"
Zhang Ai laughed happily: "Then deduct it from your dividend." This is purely a joke, how could he deduct a meal from his dividend.
Coincidentally, just as Zhang Ai put down the phone, Wu Yinru also called. Her voice was a little hoarse, and she asked, "Did you get off the plane? I called you just now and your phone was still turned off."
Zhang Ai replied: "I just left the airport and am returning to Shenzhen. By the way, let's have dinner at the club tonight."
Wu Yinru said: "I'm in a bad mood, can we meet now? I won't go tonight."
"Can't you wait? I only slept for more than three hours on the plane last night. I'll go home and sleep first, and we can talk later, okay?" Zhang Ai said this because he wanted to adjust his thinking. The main thing is to communicate with Ding Siyan, she is very afraid that Wu Yinru will talk to her about Fang Liang.
Wu Yinru sighed weakly, "Okay then, what time do you guys have dinner? Shall we meet at the spa club an hour earlier?"
"Let's have dinner at seven in the evening, how about we meet at five thirty?" Zhang Ai said to Wu Yinru with the concern of a big sister.
"Okay." Wu Yinru ended the line.
Zhang Ai really wanted to make a phone call with Ding Siyan immediately, but it was not very convenient to think about it, so he dismissed the idea.
Xu Xinran burst out laughing suddenly, Zhang Ai asked him: "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Xinran handed her the mobile phone, and there was a new message on it: "I just want to be the most understanding confidante who knows how to advance and retreat. I will be there when you need me, and when you don't need me, I'll try to leave. I won't cause you any trouble because I love you."
When Zhang Ai saw that the sender was Zhan Fang, she was a little anxious and asked Xu Xinran, "What do you mean?"
Xu Xinran said in a low voice: "Don't think that she sent it to me, just read the previous message again."
Zhang Ai read the previous message, which said: "Last night, I played with Meimei's mobile phone and found a message she sent to your friend named Fang. I will forward it to you. Be sure to keep it secret."
Zhang Ai looked at Xu Xinran, and Xu Xinran looked at Zhang Ai with a kind of gloating eyes: "Anyone who meets such a woman will be unable to extricate himself."
Zhang Ai's heart suddenly became heavy. This Gu Meimei is young, but her methods are very unusual. Like Fang Liang, she usually has few contacts with women. When she encounters such a woman, it's strange if she doesn't fall into it.
Back home, Zhang Ai took a shower, sorted out the presents to be given to Ding Siyan, Wu Yinru and Shen Chengxue in the evening, asked the driver to put them away, and then lay down on the bed.Her mind is in a mess now, she really wanted to call Ding Siyan immediately, but in the end, Ding Siyan's call was transferred to the secretary's desk.This is a very strange thing, she usually does not turn off the phone during the day, what's the matter today?I remember that Ding Siyan told her that there are only two ways for her to shut down the phone, one is on the plane, and the other is an important meeting.What's the situation today?
Looking at her watch, it was still early for the time she had agreed with Wu Yinru, so she tried her best to fall asleep.Maybe it's because I'm getting older, jet lag is always slow.This time it is estimated that it will take two or three days to recover.
However, he couldn't fall asleep while lying there, Xu Xinran said just now that he was afraid of mutual influence, so he went to sleep in another room, but Zhang Ai always suspected that he secretly called that woman.In the car, he showed himself the text message, but she wondered if the two of them had a tacit understanding in advance and did it on purpose.In love and life, Zhang Ai is a person who makes up his own mind.But these years she felt bad.She always felt that Xu Xinran was not as deep as she loved him, and Zhang Ai often felt that her inner expectations were in vain.Because Xu Xinran was her only love, she interpreted Xu Xinran's behavior as the way of thinking of men and women is different. In this way, Zhang Ai is often in loss, but still has feelings and love for Xu Xinran.
However, when the plane was landing just now, he obviously seemed to love him, but why did he just play with his mobile phone in the car and read that Zhan Fang's message when the plane landed?
Zhang Ai doubts herself: Is it menopause, why are you always so suspicious?When Xu Xinran showed herself the information, the expression on her face was relaxed, so she probably wouldn't lie to herself, right?However, for some reason, she just denied this speculation, and became suspicious again.So tangled up, she was a little confused.Men torture the body, women torture the spirit.
She felt that she was walking alone in a forest full of mist. Suddenly, a bed appeared in front of her. There was a woman lying on it. She walked over and found that it was actually Wu Yinru. Zhang Ai found that her hair was like a waterfall. Long and smooth, glowing with dark light, her hair is so good!Zhang Ai sighed in his heart.Zhang Ai really wanted to touch her snow-white skin and hold her hand, but she felt that she shouldn't disturb Wu Yinru's rest.Zhang Ai thought to himself: Why is she lying here alone?She is so quiet!where is this?No, I have to ask Wu Yinru.But she slept so soundly, how could I bother her?Zhang Ai looked around again. There was no one else. She thought about it and woke her up.So, Zhang Ai wanted to lean over to call her, but when she just wanted to get close to her.Who knows, Wu Yinru suddenly opened her eyes, the eyes got bigger and bigger, and her face got wider and wider, why?It's not Wu Yinru, it's Ding Siyan!Ding Siyan asked seriously: "What are you doing here?" Zhang Ai wanted to explain, but couldn't speak.
She was nervous, and suddenly woke up from the dream.And everything in the room made her strange for a long time, and she didn't know where she was.She thought hard for a long time, and slowly realized that she was at home now.
And her mobile phone was vibrating on the bedside, when she picked it up, it was Ding Siyan.Zhang Ai picked up the phone, and Ding Siyan yelled loudly: "Oh, I'm so sorry, just now I participated in a coordination meeting with Governor Liu, and I didn't turn on the phone. I think you made several calls. Why, Arrived home? That's it, I'll treat you tonight and welcome you."
Zhang Ai sat up and said calmly, "I've already booked a room. Come here at seven o'clock in the evening."
Ding Siyan asked: "Who are they? Is there Wu Yinru?"
Zhang Ai didn't know what she meant, so she said: "I don't want to talk about her after talking with you? Yesterday, before I got on the plane, I received a call from her. I could tell that she was in a bad mood. , so, I just want to ask you, does she know about Fang Liang?"
"I don't know? No way, how did she know?" Ding Siyan looked surprised.And her attitude caused Zhang Ai to doubt Xu Xinran's analysis on the plane.
"So, I'm afraid this is the case. If this is the case, I think she may not be able to bear it." Zhang Ai sighed.
"I can't, how could she know about this? Could it be that Fang Liang confessed to her on his own initiative?" It was obvious that Ding Siyan was also confused.
"Where are you now?" Zhang Ai heard someone else's voice on her phone.
"Oh, I'm planning to go back to Pengcheng. I'm waiting for the car. The provincial government doesn't allow parking here. I asked the driver to park the car elsewhere." Ding Siyan replied.
Originally, Zhang Ai wanted to ask her what else she wanted to tell her, but thinking about meeting her later, she didn't ask again.
Looking at her watch, it was almost time for a date with Wu Yinru, so she simply cleaned up, called Xu Xinran and was ready to go out.
Before going out, she brought some things to Mrs. Zhang, saying that Xu Qi asked her to bring them back.Auntie Zhang was naturally very happy, but then she took the pile of things and said in a bit of embarrassment: "Mr. Zhang, look, isn't this too fancy?"
Zhang Ai smiled and said, "If you think it's too fashionable, I'll give it to your daughter."
"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Zhang thanked her happily.Zhang Ai understood that this was what she wanted, Zhang Ai felt very sorry in his heart, so he turned around and took a bag that he had used several times and handed it to her: "I haven't used this a few times, you can use it."
Sitting in the car, Xu Xinran asked Zhang Ai: "Have you never used that bag a few times?"
Zhang Ai sighed: "You, I really don't understand. A good relationship with Mrs. Zhang can ease the relationship between you and my son."
Xu Xinran let out a "tss": "What's the matter? My mother has to take care of the nanny."
Zhang Ai gave him a white look: "What do you know? The reason why Xu Qi's thinking is different from ours is that he is too much influenced by Mrs. Zhang. If we study Mrs. Zhang more, we may find a way to communicate with your son. "
"Really?" Xu Xinran didn't seem to believe Zhang Ai's judgment.
Zhang Ai sighed: "I ignored this matter before, but this time in London, I thought about this issue carefully, and I think this method is feasible."
"It seems that Mr. Zhang is going to bow his head in front of Mrs. Zhang." Xu Xinran suddenly looked at Zhang Ai with a strange look.
Zhang Ai "cut": "What is bowing your head, that is learning."
"Hmph, you should change your name to Zhang Youli now." Xu Xinran sarcastically said.
The club's SPA club has not only women's items, but also men's items.What Zhang Ai chose for Xu Xinran was a Hawaiian deep massage.I directly chose a SPA suite, which has strong privacy and provides personal and exclusive services.
Before Wu Yinru arrived, Zhang Ai was waiting for her in the hall.The waiter brought up a glass of red drink, which tasted sour.Zhang Ai asked what its name was. The waiter said a strange name, but Zhang Ai didn't remember it.
After waiting for a while, Wu Yinru walked in. Although she was still dressed in such a fashion, she still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.Zhang Ai asked with concern: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for two days, how did it become like this?"
Wu Yinru was not in a good mood: "Let's go into the room."
This suite is decorated in a Hawaiian style, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. There are noble and gorgeous marble decorations, light-colored logs and crystal-like glass. It is equipped with a Jacuzzi, shower, heated marble massage table and private therapeutic massage. leisure area.
After the two of them changed their clothes, their bodies began to relax under the gentle friction of the Dead Sea crystal salt. The physical therapist's palms were very good, which was very enjoyable.Next is an extremely comfortable hydromassage. In the massage pool rich in soft essential oils and red and white rose petals, the body seems to gain vitality and new life instantly.
After the massage, Zhang Ai waved the masseur out, and the two of them lay in the leisure area.You can see the sea here, and the background music is very soft.
"What? How do you feel?" Zhang Ai asked.
Wu Yinru sighed: "This place relaxes you so much that it seems like you're going to melt away, and you feel like you've lost your life. But the trouble is still there."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ai asked casually.
"Oh, Yamamoto is in trouble. We are being targeted by the tax." Wu Yinru coughed lightly and did not answer.Then, in her narration, Zhang Ai knew that Guanhan Trading Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamamoto Holdings, was her sales department in plain terms. The day before yesterday, the tax bureau confiscated all sales of Guanhan Trading Company. documents.A company like Yamamoto Holdings itself cannot evade taxes, but can only avoid taxes reasonably.However, a company like Guanhan Trading Company has many channels and a lot of sales business. As long as the other party does not ask for an invoice, Guanhan Trading Company will not provide it on its own initiative. This is also an unspoken rule of the industry.
Zhang Ai asked: "Have you found someone?"
Wu Yinru nodded: "I've looked for it, but people say it's a major case of the Municipal Bureau, so I dare not help."
"The major case of the Municipal Bureau? It's so serious!" Zhang Ai was startled and asked, "How could it be so serious?"
Wu Yinru replied solemnly: "Yeah, I think there must be someone playing tricks behind the scenes. Think about it, the tax bureau would also come to check in the past. Generally speaking, we would get the news in advance and put those sensitive things in other places." But this time, when the tax bureau came, it went straight to the room where we kept those sensitive items, and the company didn’t even have time to react.”
"How serious is it now?" Zhang Ai asked.
Wu Yinru said solemnly: "It is still under investigation, but someone has let it out that criminal responsibility may be pursued."
"Did you ask Sister Ding about this?" Zhang Ai asked.
"Looking for her?" Wu Yinru curled her lips in disdain, "I suspect that she is responsible for this. Think about it, I am competing with her now, and she is bound to lose. She is messing with me now to prevent me from competing with her." .”
"Do you have evidence?" Zhang Ai asked.
Wu Yinru shook her head: "There is no evidence, but my intuition tells me that it is her."
Zhang Ai shook her head: "You can't catch rumors, there is no evidence, and you have no reason to doubt her. By the way, what are you going to do now?"
Wu Yinru sat up: "Isn't there nothing I can do? I know you have a good relationship with Mayor Liu's son Liu Yueping. Look, can you ask him to come forward and introduce me to talk to Mayor Liu?"
Zhang Ai didn't answer Wu Yinru's question directly, but asked, "Didn't you go to Governor Liu?"
Wu Yinru shook her head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to look for him."
"Afraid of looking for him, he made that request to you?" Zhang Ai asked tentatively.
Wu Yinru nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, his attitude is very clear now. I'm just perfunctory, playing a game of cat and mouse. The bidding for the subway in the provincial capital is over, so I try to alienate him. I can't do it." I'm sorry about Fang Liang."
Wu Yinru's words made Zhang Ai's mind very complicated. First, this sentence proved that Liu Lijun hadn't succeeded; second, it proved that Wu Yinru didn't know about Fang Liang.I should help her.So, she picked up the phone, dialed Liu Yueping, and asked, "Director Liu, are you busy recently?"
Who knows, Liu Yueping seemed very happy: "Oh, Mr. Zhang, you're back? I'm about to talk to you. When are you free? I'll meet you."
Zhang Ai took a look at Wu Yinru and felt that she was a little pitiful, so Zhang Ai said: "If you are free today, come to the clubhouse for dinner tonight."
Who knows, Liu Yueping replied: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, I really don't have time tonight. I'm also in the clubhouse tonight, but it's a private matter. Can't we reschedule the meeting?"
As soon as Zhang Ai heard it, he immediately said: "Let's forget about whether we can take it or not, but I have something urgent and I want to ask you to help me."
Liu Yueping asked: "What's the matter? As long as I, Liu Yueping, can do it, I will definitely help."
Zhang Ai stood up: "That's it. I have a friend who was investigated by the tax bureau. I want to ask you for a favor."
Liu Yueping asked, "Is it Yamamoto Holdings?"
Zhang Ai was very surprised and asked, "Why, Director Liu knew about this?"
Liu Yueping coughed dryly: "How can I not know about such a big matter."
Zhang Ai asked: "My friend means she wants to meet Mayor Liu."
Liu Yueping was silent on the other side, and thought for a while and said: "Well, my affairs here will end at about ten o'clock, and I will call you when it is over, and then, you ask your friend to come to my place by yourself. live here."
Zhang Ai said "hmm": "Then let me contact my friend, and I will contact you later, okay?"
Zhang Ai put down the phone, told Wu Yinru what Liu Yueping had said, and asked worriedly when it was over, "Do you think you will be in danger?"
Wu Yinru bit her lip, as if she was talking to herself, "He's an official, so he can't be so shameless?"
Zhang Ai said with a heavy heart: "I don't understand this, and I don't have much contact with him."
Wu Yinru gritted her teeth: "It's Longtan and Tiger's Den, I'm going to go there too." The expression on her face was very tragic, as if Li Yuhe was about to go to the execution ground.
Zhang Ai called Liu Yueping, asked him where he lived, and told him that his friend would come to the appointment on time.
"Really, if you go, be careful, and call me if something is wrong, okay?" Zhang Ai told Wu Yinru like a big sister.
Wu Yinru's face was dismal: "Sister Zhang, I'm mentally prepared. Over the years, I've seen many people of all kinds in the business field, leaders who said they could help me, big bosses who said they could give me business, and bosses who said they could help me." People who can solve problems, who doesn't look at my stinky skin? If they really want it, let them forget it."
A very sour feeling came out of Zhang Ai's stomach. She suppressed it with all her strength, took a long breath, and said to Wu Yinru, "Sister, you must not give up on yourself."
Wu Yinru's eyes were red, and she said in a nasal voice, "Sister, why am I so difficult?"
Zhang Ai didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only cry silently with her.
It wasn't until Zeng Rou called, saying that everyone was almost here, that Zhang Ai took Wu Yinru to Liao Xuehao to do some simple makeup.Originally, Wu Yinru said that she didn't want to attend this dinner anymore, that she didn't want to see Ding Siyan.However, Zhang Ai persuaded her patiently and told her, first of all, Ding Siyan may not have done this, and she can be asked for help.It's not a bad thing to take a step back, even if she did it, it's not a bad thing to talk to her and resolve it.After persuading for a long time, Wu Yinru agreed to attend, but when Zhang Ai asked her to call Fang Liang, she actually said that there was an event in the flying club today, and Fang Liang would go out in the afternoon.
Zhang Ai cried out inwardly: This silly Wu Yinru, it's raining heavily today, can the plane take off?In other words, even if there were any activities in the flying club, it would be too irresponsible for Fang Liang to let go of such a big matter as Yamamoto and put such pressure on his wife.Does Wu Yinru believe this excuse?Zhang Ai believes that there is a 90% chance that Fang Liang is with Gu Meimei.However, she was still a little lucky, thinking that Fang Liang might just be playful, maybe he really went to participate in some activities of the flying club.
The place to eat today is a Chinese restaurant. I haven't eaten authentic Chinese food for several days. Both Zhang Ai and Xu Xinran want to enjoy a gluttonous meal.So Xuanxuan booked a room facing the sea on three sides in the Chinese restaurant. There are not many rooms of this kind. There are only six rooms in the whole Chinese restaurant, and you usually have to book in advance. It's only cheaper Zhang Ai.
This room is a suite with a terrace outside, but there are transparent sunshades on it. Even in such weather, sitting on it will not be affected too much.
The room is divided into two areas, one is the leisure area and the other is the dining area.The floor, walls and ceiling of this kind of room are all equipped with LED screens, people feel like they are in the air, but there are several sets of scenery to choose from. Inside a huge spaceship.
When Zhang Ai came in, Mao Yinghua, Xu Xinran, Xi Huanzhang, and Zeng Rou were playing cards. Xu Xinran and Xi Huanzhang had a lot of notes on their faces, and Mao Yinghua had the least.And Ding Siyan and Shen Chengxue were chatting on the terrace, looking very friendly.Ding Siyan has this ability, whether she is familiar with the other party or not, she can always create a cordial and harmonious scene.However, she and Shen Chengxue are old acquaintances, so it's not surprising that they can talk so intimately.
Seeing Zhang Ai and Wu Yinru come in, Ding Siyan waved to them through the glass, Zhang Ai and Wu Yinru simply greeted a few card players, and then went to the terrace.The wind on the terrace was a bit strong, and Zhang Ai shivered unconsciously.However, she soon got used to it.The four of them sat down, and Ding Siyan and Wu Yinru were very polite. Zhang Ai understood that the so-called politeness meant indifference, and there was a grudge in their hearts.
Ding Siyan then chatted with Shen Chengxue about the unfinished topic just now. It was about a relative of Ding Siyan going to bid with Shen Chengxue. It seemed that Shen Chengxue had explained it clearly in terms of policies and procedures. However, Ding Siyan was still tentatively asking if Shen Chengxue could help in private.Regarding this point, Shen Chengxue only said that it should be handled according to the normal channels, and neither said to help nor said that she would not help.
Shen Chengxue's attitude was not at all unexpected by Zhang Ai. Civil servants usually had this attitude when they talked to those who asked them for help. No one was foolish enough to agree to it. If that was the case, they might put themselves at a disadvantage.As for whether they will help in the future, it may depend on the actual communication between the two parties.
Zhang Ai asked the driver to bring up the things he bought in Paris, and divided them among the three people, each with two bags, two silk scarves, and two sets of cosmetics.They are all the same brand and style, and she doesn't want to give them the impression that one favors the other.Several women were chattering, Xuan Xuan came over and asked if they wanted to serve food, Zhang Ai said yes, and took the opportunity to give her a set of cosmetics.Xuan Xuan looked very embarrassed.However, after some refusal, he accepted it.
Today is Shunde cuisine, because we are all acquaintances, so there is nothing to be polite, and everyone will start eating when they come up.After sweeping for a while, Ding Siyan and Mao Yinghua began to toast in turn. After a few rounds, Zhang Ai became a little dizzy, and quickly waved his hands, saying that he was jet-lagged and couldn't drink anymore.However, no one listened to Xu Xinran's explanation, let alone others, Xi Huanzhang's toast was a bit overwhelming.Seeing that Xu Xinran's eye circles were flushed, Zhang Ai said to him: "Don't be brave." Unexpectedly, he waved his hand: "Drink! I haven't had such a good drink for several days." So he and Xi Huanzhang even Dried three cups.
Zhang Ai looked at Xu Xinran and said half-truthfully, "Don't drink too much, I'll let you sleep on the washboard."
Wu Yinru, who hadn't spoken for a while, asked curiously, "Do you still have a washboard?"
Zhang Ai looked at her. Liao Xuehao's make-up skills were very good, and she couldn't see any haggardness in her, so he said seriously: "There is also a torture room in my house, which has tiger stools and pepper water. This man, if he is dishonest, he will not be ashamed." To tidy up."
"I don't believe it." Wu Yinru opened her eyes wide, expressing disbelief.
Ding Siyan continued from the sidelines: "Tiger stools and chili water are a bit exaggerated, but Mr. Zhang taught my husband that rolling pins and feather dusters are commonly used."
Zhang Ai still said solemnly: "This man, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to expose the tiles."
Shen Chengxue looked at Mao Yinghua from the side: "I can tell you, I learned a trick today, if you are disobedient in the future, I will torture you when you go back."
"Don't talk about this topic, by the way, Lao Xu, why don't you tell everyone what you saw when you went to the Louvre that day?" Zhang Ai said.
Xu Xinran was about to speak when Xi Huanzhang's phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and looked at it, then hurried out.Ding Siyan asked Zhang Ai in a low voice: "Guess whose call is this?"
Zhang Ai shook her head, Ding Siyan's voice was lower: "I guess, it's not that little bitch's, but Li Jiawei's."
"Oh, why do you say that?" Zhang Ai asked in a low voice.
"Intuition." Ding Siyan replied with a mysterious face.
"You can just guess," Zhang Ai said with disdain.
Ding Siyan seemed very mysterious and said: "Something has happened, if you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Sure enough, within a minute, Xi Huanzhang came in in a hurry and said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something to do, so let's go first." Then, he picked up his bag and left.
Ding Siyan whispered to Zhang Ai: "Just watch, there will be explosive news in a few days."
Zhang Ai didn't ask any further, she knew that this matter must have something to do with Li Jiawei, because she had already seen some kind of complacency in Ding Siyan's confident eyes.Does this have anything to do with what she said in the afternoon that she was with Liu Lijun?Now, on the surface, everything seems to be calm, but in fact, there is already an undercurrent surging underneath.
Wu Yinru's heart still seemed to be very heavy, Zhang Ai thought for a while, and suddenly said to Ding Siyan: "Sister Ding, something happened to Wu Yinru these two days, can you help me?"
After listening to Wu Yinru's narration, Ding Siyan seemed very stunned, sat there silently, and said for a while, "Why do I think this is a bit strange? Isn't someone messing with you?"
"Oh? Why does Sister Ding think that way?" Zhang Ai glanced at Wu Yinru, who was indescribably confused.
"The Yamamoto Group is considered to be an enterprise that is valued by the district and the city. It is a large taxpayer and a stable water source. Generally, there will be no problems. Why did this happen? It is obvious that someone is playing tricks." Ding Si Yan analyzed seriously.
Shen Chengxue asked Wu Yinru: "Have you found Secretary Zhang?"
Wu Yinru replied: "I asked his secretary, and his secretary said that Secretary Zhang was in Beijing for a meeting and would not be back until a few days later."
Shen Chengxue nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.
Ding Siyan looked chivalrous and said: "Sister, don't worry, I'll help you find someone." So, she walked to the terrace and started making phone calls.Although the door was closed, everyone could still hear that she had found several people.
Mao Yinghua looked at Zhang Ai: "Mr. Zhang, why don't Cheng Xue and I go first?" Mao Yinghua is a person who is very good at assessing the situation, which has something to do with his long-term work habits in the government.
Zhang Ai nodded, and said to Shen Chengxue: "I'm sorry, Bureau Shen, today is too messy, let's get together again some other day."
Shen Chengxue smiled neither humble nor overbearing, and reached out to shake hands with Zhang Ai and Wu Yinru: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for the gift, so let's go first?"
After Mao Yinghua left, Xu Xinran obviously felt very bored, so he told Zhang Ai that he wanted to find a place to play.Zhang Ai said: "Don't do bad things!" Xu Xinran replied with a smile: "The tiger is taking a nap, I'm sorry for the audience if you don't do some bad things." Zhang Ai said viciously: "If you dare to be presumptuous, I will break your legs."
Xu Xinran said to Wu Yinru: "Look at this dominatrix, I really envy your family, Fang Liang, who married such a gentle, virtuous and beautiful wife like you."
Zhang Ai patted the table: "Why don't you hurry up, why, are you planning on my sister?"
Xu Xinran made a grimace, and left in a hurry.Zeng Rou asked: "Mr. Zhang, why don't I go first?" Zhang Ai shook his head: "No need."
It is good for Zeng Rou to be present, even if Ding Siyan and Wu Yinru have some disagreements, they will pay attention in front of Zeng Rou.Otherwise, they would be arguing upside down, and it would be really uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
Ding Siyan was still on the phone, Zhang Ai took the opportunity to say to Wu Yinru: "Don't think about it, look how sad Miss Ding is about you?"
Who knows, Wu Yinru curled her lips and said, "A cat cries for a mouse—fake compassion."
Zhang Ai frowned and said, "You're wrong, you're taking a presupposed position, and everyone looks like a bad person. Don't allow this attitude, understand?"
Wu Yinru wanted to say something else, but Zhang Ai turned to look at Ding Siyan on the balcony. She was about to finish her phone call, so she gave Wu Yinru a look, signaling that her attitude should be better.
Ding Siyan came in, looking a bit depressed, she took a sip of tea, took a long breath, shook her head: "This is too strange." Then she turned her head to look at Wu Yinru, and asked, "You didn't offend anyone Bar?"
Wu Yinru blurted out: "The person I offended the most recently is you."
Zhang Ai didn't expect Wu Yinru to speak like this, thinking, this person is crazy, doesn't he know how to bear it?
A dark cloud passed over Ding Siyan's face, and her face was as cold as ice, and she said to Wu Yinru: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin—you don't know good people. You think you will succeed if you sing against me? Let me tell you, this project It’s very important to you, but it’s only a small part of my wealthy group, it’s just a matter of beating rabbits. I don’t understand you, can you be more open-minded?”
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Don't always bully the little ones! Let me tell you, I've endured you for a long time!" Wu Yinru snapped at Ding Siyan.
Ding Siyan turned her head to look at Zhang Ai, and twitched her mouth: "You can see, I must be thinking that I am a bad person."
Zhang Ai persuaded Wu Yinru, persuading: "Wu Yinru, don't be so ladylike! You should listen to Sister Ding's explanation, don't be so arbitrary." Zeng Rou also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Wu, Boss Ding has just made so many phone calls, and your attitude really makes Boss Ding very sad."
Wu Yinru may also feel that there is something wrong with her attitude, so she just stood there silently.Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Ai hurriedly asked Ding Siyan: "Sister Ding, how are things going?"
Ding Siyan shook her head: "I made several phone calls, but they all expressed that I dare not help, because the city bureau is attaching great importance to this case. Moreover, the evidence is solid, and it is difficult to make other changes." Everyone felt very heavy, and everyone was silent, only the sound of heavy breathing one after another was heard.
After a long time, Ding Siyan said: "This should be a game set up by someone. In my opinion, what happened to Gu Meimei a few days ago may be part of this game."
"Oh? How do you say it? You mean Li Jiawei?" Zhang Ai asked.When she asked this question, the expressions of Wu Yinru and Zeng Rou also changed.
Ding Siyan shook her head: "Her? She doesn't have such great energy yet. At most, she will sleep with those leaders in other places and get some land, or she will pour some psychedelic soup on fools like Xi Huanzhang and dig my At the foot of the wall. Wu Yinru's matter is very strange, and the people I called just now were all silent about it, as if they had heard something."
"Oh?" Zhang Ai looked at Wu Yinru, and found that her expression had changed slightly.
Ding Siyan took another sip of tea, frowned and said, "I don't want to understand now, what is the purpose of the person messing with Wu Yinru."
Wu Yinru said from the side: "Fuck me, and then I won't let me bid successfully."
Ding Siyan glanced at her disdainfully, and raised her nostrils: "You underestimate me, Ding Siyan, no matter who succeeds this time, I will cooperate with the other party in the future. Your Yamamoto is ahead in technology, but I am rich in group products Comprehensive, who will you cooperate with if you don’t cooperate with me? Where can you find a partner like Fufu Group? What I can’t figure out now is why they hit you like this! The target is definitely not me, so who is it?”
As soon as Ding Siyan finished speaking, Wu Yinru's phone rang suddenly. She glanced at Zhang Ai nervously, then picked it up, and said, "Hello, um, I see, I'll be right there." Then, She looked at Zhang Ai: "I have something to do, so let's go first."
Zhang Ai really wanted to tell her "be careful", but, because of Ding Siyan's presence, she had no choice but to nod: "Okay, you can do your work."
Wu Yinru left, Zeng Rou also took the opportunity to resign, this time Zhang Ai did not keep her.Zeng Rou is a smart woman, she knows when she should be present and when she should leave.This is the basic skill of being a secretary.
"What did you mean just now? There is something in your words." Zhang Ai asked.
Ding Siyan shook her head: "Originally, I now suspected that Liu Lijun was the one who did this. He set up a pattern for Wu Yinru, and then invited you into the urn and took it down directly. However, when I was with him in the afternoon, I tried it out, and it seemed that he I don't know Wu Yinru's current situation."
Zhang Ai was taken aback, and asked, "So you already knew about Wu Yinru?"
Ding Siyan hummed softly, and replied: "How could you not know? It's just that she didn't tell me, so I pretended to be confused."
“那么，你怎么看这个问题？”章艾越发觉得身边这潭水深不可测，她猛地想到了刘岳平，是他在操纵着一切吗？可是，打击吴茵茹对他有什么好处？
丁思妍眉头紧锁，满脸的不解：“我总觉得这件事很蹊跷，山本应该是没什么仇人的，可是，有人为什么下如此的狠手？刘励骏即使是想让吴茵茹顺从，也不会这么狠吧？况且，这也不像他的行事风格。”
“你怀疑这事另外有人作梗？”章艾问，她很想说出刘岳平，但是又觉得那样很危险，只好这么问了一句。
不过，丁思妍没直接回答这个问题，而是忽然转了话题：“对了，你猜，习焕章匆匆忙忙地干什么去了？”
章艾很意外，丁思妍怎么提到这个问题啦？于是，她摇摇头，表示不清楚。
丁思妍“嘿嘿”一笑，问：“你带iPad没有？”章艾摇摇头：“来吃饭我带那个干吗？”
丁思妍得意起来：“我现在发现，微博这个东西的传播力量非常大，真是个好东西。”
“有什么话你就赶紧说，别卖关子。”章艾心里有点急，不知道丁思妍要说什么。
“我实话跟你说吧，前几天爆影视基地要办俱乐部分会的事，虽然是林盛兰的一个剧务干的，实际上，我一吓唬他，他就招了，是李佳薇叫他干的。”丁思妍冷笑着说。
“那你怎么办了？叫林盛兰把他辞退了？”章艾问。
丁思妍狡黠地一笑：“我才没那么笨，我看那条微博影响也不大，就叫他悄悄地删了，现在又叫他将功补过，让他认识的一个不算出名但是粉丝很多的演员发了一条微博配了张照片。这回，够李佳薇喝一壶的了。”
“咋回事？”章艾觉得有些糊涂。
丁思妍“嘿嘿”地笑着：“那是李佳薇跟我们家老习在香港兰桂坊约会的照片。”
“啊？你家老习跟李佳薇约会？”章艾大吃一惊。
丁思妍目光复杂地看着章艾，话中带话地说：“你别说你不知道啊？有人看见，那天你跟吴茵茹也在，中间你俩悄悄走了。我猜，你们是发现他们了，对吧？”
章艾被她揭穿了，脸上像被浇了一杯热水，火辣辣地疼，她有些不好意思地说：“丁姐，我，我没告诉你，你应该理解。”
“哈哈，妹子，我太能理解了，不然，我不早问你了吗？”丁思妍显得很大度地说。看看章艾尴尬的表情，她接着解释：“你也别把这事太当回事，我这么多年跟习焕章就是这么过来的。自打他有了那个小贱人，我反思了自己过去的错误，那就是我太相信他了。以前，他说在外面有应酬，我也不管他，心想，男人嘛，正常。可是，他有了那个小贱人后我渐渐明白了，他的一切我必须知道。”
“这我就不理解了，李佳薇跟你们家老习的事你一开始就知道吗？你怎么不管？”章艾被她说糊涂了，于是表示了不解。
丁思妍长叹一口气：“防不胜防啊，开始有人跟我汇报，说他跟李佳薇有接触，我以为就是李佳薇为了影视基地这块地在做老习的工作。我当时还想，李佳薇这不是扯吗？影视基地根本没有老习的股份，她能得到什么？所以，也没在意。后来，我发现老习挪用了公司资金，这才发现问题的严重性。”
“挪用资金，你当时不是说是应收货款没有回来吗？”章艾其实已经明白咋回事了。
丁思妍哈哈地笑起来：“妹子，那是姐骗你呢，我是怕你着急。”
章艾又问：“你现在怎么办？跟老习摊牌？”
丁思妍马上收拢了笑容，面色铁青：“不，现在只是警告，如果他们还是执迷不悟，别怪我翻脸无情。”
“姐，你可听我的，这事还是适可而止吧，别把他们逼急了，你这里麻烦也不少啊。”看着丁思妍的表情，章艾不禁倒吸一口凉气。
“我手里还有别的证据，如果他们死不改悔，我会有下一步行动的。”丁思妍的表情很复杂。
“你呀，还是退一步吧，不是马上就要开始招标了吗？把心思放在招标上，跟老习的事情可以慢慢协商嘛。”章艾觉得丁思妍目前的情绪很可怕，如果不加以疏导，可能会惹出大事来。
“招标的事情已经基本上定了吴茵茹中技术标，我中商务标，另外，集成部分也是富有中标。下午我刚跟刘省长谈完。具体的事情由鞠副市长操作。”丁思妍胸有成竹地说。
“吴茵茹知道这事吗？”章艾问。
丁思妍摇摇头，叹息着：“这事现在基本上准备按这个路子去运作，可是，山本现在出现了这样的事情，我还得先给她擦屁股。”
丁思妍的这个解释让章艾很不能理解，她问：“你不是对她有想法吗？怎么还帮她？”
丁思妍无奈地叹口气：“唉，这不是有姓刘的那个祖宗嘛！他的眼睛里有吴茵茹，我也不能跟他对着干是不是？他下午还跟我说，叫我跟吴茵茹和平共处呢。这个老淫棍，把我丁思妍当什么人啦？”
看到丁思妍扭曲的面孔，章艾似乎感觉到了什么，但是，她什么也没问，什么也没说。
丁思妍接着说：“我今晚得好好琢磨琢磨，这事到底是不是姓刘的给吴茵茹下的套儿，如果是，就让他们自己解决一下，有什么呀，又不是黄花大闺女！如果不是，这事情就复杂了。是什么人在下棋呢？”
正说着，丁思妍的电话响了，她接起来：“怎么着，你饭都没吃就走了，什么事那么忙啊？”
不用说，这是习焕章，这么晚了，他打电话干什么？章艾起身要离开，丁思妍示意她留下听听。
丁思妍打开免提，只听见习焕章问：“我问你，微博上的事情是不是你干的？”
丁思妍得意地看了章艾一眼，然后说：“你说什么呀？什么微博？不是你跟那小贱人的艳照曝光了吧？这可是好事，回头我得去欣赏一下那小贱人的骚样。”
习焕章气急败坏地说：“你别跟我装糊涂啊，我告诉你，能拍出这样照片的人，一定是你派的。”
丁思妍懒洋洋地问：“什么照片啊？不是小贱人的，那是谁的？你别告诉我，是你跟李佳薇的，前些天就有人告诉我你们勾勾搭搭的，是不是？”
电话那边沉默了，半晌，那边又开口了：“真不是你干的？这事奇怪了，这手段太像你了。”
丁思妍冲章艾做了个鬼脸，对那边说：“我告诉你，不管你跟哪个野女人的照片，你必须赶紧给我处理干净。你要明白，你现在名义上还是我丁思妍的老公，还是富有集团的董事总经理，这富有集团的形象是不能受影响的，你明白吗？还有啊，有几笔钱是怎么回事你自己应该清楚，赶紧给集团还回来，要是我采取行动，后果是什么你大概知道吧？”
那边沉默了，半晌，那边说：“丁思妍，这事不管是不是你做的，你得帮我把这个问题解决了。我倒是没什么，关键是这事对李总有影响，而且影响会很大。”
丁思妍恶狠狠地说：“原来真的是李佳薇那个贱货，你们的事情自己处理，我不管。”说着，“啪”地收了线。
章艾看着她：“你这人简直是撒谎不脸红啊，明明是你干的，为什么不承认？”
丁思妍“嘁”了一声，得意地回答：“我干吗要承认！你明白吗？这叫虚虚实实假假真真。对待这对狗男女，你不承认，他们也认为是我干的，我来个死活不承认，迷惑他们一下。”
“够狡猾的。”章艾摇摇头，显得有点无可奈何。她忽然抬起头，问丁思妍：“你打算怎么帮吴茵茹？”
丁思妍摇摇头：“我还没想好，等我想好了再打电话给你。好了，我走了，你怎么办？”
章艾点点头：“我等会儿去查查徐欣然的岗，没准儿抓个现行。”
丁思妍笑着走了，她是那种无论帮你或者毁你都会做到极致的人。这样的人如果是朋友，就是你的坚强后盾；如果变成了敌人，绝对会让你寝食难安。
章艾之所以没走，是因为她心里有事，吴茵茹现在在刘岳平那里，情况怎样？现在她一直担心着。
她签了单，走出中餐厅，站在门厅下面，雨虽然小了很多，却还是淅淅沥沥地下着。她有点不知道去哪里好，真的去查徐欣然的岗？那是扯淡，两公婆能到这个地步就知足吧，别那么认真了。打个电话给吴茵茹？显然是不合适，人家还在谈事呢。
正纠结着，她的电话响了，大头贴显示的正是吴茵茹的头像。她接起来，只听吴茵茹鼻音很重地对她说：“章艾，你在哪儿？”
吴茵茹显然是哭过了，章艾很紧张，问：“你在哪儿？”
吴茵茹说她在一个包房里，章艾赶紧赶了过去，看见吴茵茹正哭得梨花带雨。她很紧张，问吴茵茹：“你怎么啦？他真的做了什么？”
吴茵茹摇摇头，抽泣了一会儿：“没有，刘主任是一个很有礼貌的绅士，怎么会做出那样无理的事情？”
“那你哭什么？”章艾这就不明白了。
谁知，这句话惹得吴茵茹又是一阵痛哭。这可把章艾给搞糊涂了，她急切地问：“你怎么啦？”
吴茵茹哭一会儿说几句，断断续续地告诉章艾，原来，她跟刘岳平谈完了事情，刘岳平答应了帮她引见刘力刚，争取将这件事处理圆满。他的一个朋友走进来，说是微博上那个出名的顾梅梅和她男朋友一起正在隔壁包房，问刘岳平要不要过去看看。刘岳平显得很为难，说自己这里有朋友，于是，那朋友就说不如一起过去，喝杯酒就回来，于是，两个人就过去了，结果，一去发现，顾梅梅的所谓男朋友居然是方亮。
“方亮？”章艾立刻明白了这是一出戏，事先安排好的一场戏。今晚即使没有自己在这里，也有别的桥段。看样子，刘岳平在这出戏里面至少是个编剧。她接着问：“方亮呢？”
吴茵茹指了指隔壁：“应该在那里。”
章艾问：“他就叫你一个人在这里？”
吴茵茹摇摇头，回答：“他来了，我把他赶出去了。”
章艾怒道：“走，我们去找他。”
吴茵茹赶紧摆手：“章姐，还是不要去了，我不想见他。”
看到吴茵茹痛苦的表情，章艾纠结，女人最在意的是什么？当然是面子！老公出轨了，对哪个女人来说都是件丑事，尤其平常总是跟方亮以金童玉女的形象示人的吴茵茹。她的家丑被你知道了，她以后还怎么在你面前混？
章艾感觉自己一下子被推上了风口浪尖。她很想把自己知道的一切告诉她，但这意味着一场风波无可避免，意味着在自己和吴茵茹的友情里，夹杂了一些说不清道不明的东西。这种东西可能使友情稳固，也极有可能摧毁友情。
“你现在打算怎么办？”章艾试探着问。
吴茵茹好像忽然变得理智了，她站起身，拿起包，进了洗手间。出来时，已经是另外一副样子，虽然不能说明艳照人，可也算是风韵诱人。吴茵茹问：“章姐，你看我现在怎么样？”
章艾点点头：“不错，不过，妹妹，你想干什么？”
吴茵茹冷冷地一笑：“没什么，你陪我去隔壁。”
章艾怕她做出什么傻事，赶紧劝道：“妹子，你想干什么？你可千万别做傻事。”
吴茵茹显得非常理智，非常平静：“没啥，去跟他们聊聊。”
章艾想拉住她，谁知道，她转过身，头也不回地就往外走，章艾赶紧拿起包，在后面追她。吴茵茹走得很快，瞬间就到了隔壁包房的门口，回头看了看章艾，很怪地笑了一下，推门走了进去。
章艾赶紧跟了进去，她发现里面除了方亮、林晓伟和刘岳平以外，还有两个年轻人，其中一个叫张安钊，章艾在一个慈善晚会上见过他。那个瘦脸尖下颌的顾梅梅并不在。吴茵茹见她进来，把另外那个年轻人介绍给她，他叫姚平原。章艾觉得他有点眼熟，就问：“姚先生，我们好像在哪里见过？”
姚平原笑了：“章大姐，我们一起吃过饭的。”
姚平原这么一说，章艾想起来了，有一次，老朋友副市长路克杰叫她去一个山庄陪客人，在场的就有一个北京的姚司长，当时人很多，恍恍惚惚记得是有个年轻人在他身边。于是，她赶紧道歉：“不好意思，原来是姚公子，瞧我这记性。”
“没事，那天人多，章大姐记不住我是正常的。”姚平原态度很谦卑。越是这样的高干子弟，态度越是低调，只有那些底层恶吏的孩子，才整天飞扬跋扈、趾高气扬。
吴茵茹表情平静，似乎什么事也没有发生过，似笑不笑似怒不怒地看着方亮：“方总，你女朋友呢？”
姚平原赶紧道歉：“不好意思，方太太，有些误会，刚才是我表述不清楚，方总跟那个女孩子只是一般的朋友。也怪我，不知道您是谁，我就乱说，真是不好意思。”
吴茵茹似乎并不激动，相反，显得很优雅，对姚平原说：“没关系，既然是一般朋友就叫她一起喝酒嘛，对了，忘了跟你说，这个女孩子我和章总都很熟的。”
“哦？！”章艾注意到林晓伟在一旁表现出一丝惊讶，而刘岳平、张安钊和姚平原的反应没有那么大，这更使她坚信，刘岳平他们几个应该早就知道真相了。
姚平原笑着解释道：“不好意思，那个女孩子有事先走了。”
吴茵茹表情肃然，转脸看了看方亮，然后环视了一下大家：“这个环境不是很好，空气很混浊，我请大家去消夜怎么样？”
方亮表情尴尬，脸上的肌肉不自然地抖动着。刘岳平在一旁道：“好啊，既然是个误会，咱们就听美女的安排吧。”
刘岳平这样一说，大家自然没意见，一起往外走，坐在电瓶车上，林晓伟跟章艾坐在一起，两个人简单地聊了一下中海信最近的情况。林晓伟显得很高兴，因为他毕竟是中海信的股东，而中海信能拿下宝山汽车电子产业基地这块地他也会有利润，何乐而不为？章艾又简单跟他说了一下准备在中海信搞股权激励的事情，林晓伟自然没有意见：“你就叫毛总去做吧，总之，有利于中海信发展的事都没问题。”
电瓶车转弯的时候，章艾扭头看了一下身后的吴茵茹和方亮，两人都面无表情，但是，那一刻，章艾注意到吴茵茹眼中正含着盈盈的泪光。
消夜的地方是在海边，一排无烟的烧烤档。可能是因为下雨的关系，没多少人，于是，几个人就坐在一间竹楼里面。这种竹楼的设计很有特色，无风无雨的时候，四面墙壁可以撑起来变成房顶的一部分，而今天，墙壁就被放了下来，整个竹楼颇有山野的风格。
吴茵茹去点菜了，她点菜时，方亮可怜巴巴地跟章艾说：“章姐，你可得帮我啊，这吴茵茹越是不发脾气，我觉得事情越严重。”
章艾“哼”了一声：“这事关键还在你自己，赶紧坦白从宽，争取她的原谅。”
谁知，方亮居然还狡辩：“章姐，我们真的是朋友，普通朋友。”
张安钊也帮着解释：“是啊，就是认识而已。”
他们这么一解释，章艾更坚信了一点，方亮只是他们的一个棋子而已，他们集体给方亮打掩护这本身就很说明问题。可是，章艾能说什么？很多时候，面对真相，你只能选择相信谎言。
于是，章艾显得像是相信了方亮的话：“我尽量劝吧。不过，吴茵茹的脾气你是知道的，不是我劝劝就能解决问题的，关键问题还要你自己来解决。”这话说得不轻不重，方亮鸡啄米一样地点头：“我知道，我知道。”
菜是吴茵茹点的，烤蚝、烤鱿鱼、羊肉串、烤韭菜、烤通心菜以及一些叫不出名的海鲜，琳琅满目，摆了一桌子。
吴茵茹显得非常优雅，对大家说：“不知道合不合大家的口味，请慢用。”
大家要了啤酒开始喝酒，谈的都是些场面上的东西，似是而非，又信誓旦旦，总之，一种典型的北京饭局的味道。
刘岳平压根儿没有在饭桌上提到宝山那块地的事情，章艾暗想，恐怕他跟林晓伟也是只字未提。
而吴茵茹似乎没事人一样，跟每个人都打了个通关，然后，一直跟刘岳平交头接耳，样子很有点不同寻常。章艾看了看方亮，他似乎很不安，但是，又不敢说什么。
过了一会儿，吴茵茹居然跟刘岳平起身到竹楼外面去了。透过竹楼的花窗，章艾注意到他们俩进了一个没人的竹楼，吴茵茹居然还把花窗外面的遮阳板也放下了。方亮脸上的肌肉不自然地抖动着，显得神色不宁。
章艾想缓解一下气氛，于是对方亮说：“你也是的，山本出了这么大的事情，你还去参加什么飞行俱乐部的活动，把事情都丢给吴茵茹一个人，又出来个什么女人，而且还是顾梅梅，你叫她怎么想？”
张安钊忽然问：“章总跟顾小姐很熟吗？”
章艾心里明白，这是火力侦察，于是回答：“还行。”这话言简意赅，进可攻退可守。
果然，张安钊转了枪口，他半开玩笑地对方亮说：“方总这回可是惹事了，回头你太太跟顾小姐通个电话，你可是死定了。”
姚平原也“嘿嘿”地笑着：“方总，你准备怎么打这场防御战啊？”
章艾明白，这两个人肯定是以为自己不知道底细，在提醒自己呢。于是，她也说：“方亮，你也太幼稚，顾梅梅是什么人你不会不知道吧？没事你跟她搅和到一起干啥？别人避之唯恐不及，你倒是往前凑。没见过女人啊！”
这话听起来是埋怨，实际上，是帮方亮开脱，而在姚平原和张安钊面前又表现得自己像一无所知一样。保持这个状态，就是占据了有利地位，不至于在他们面前被动。
张安钊和姚平原冲方亮笑着，章艾在他们的笑容里读出了幸灾乐祸。现在，章艾心里已经判定，顾梅梅的事情一定与他们有关了，只是可怜眼前这个呆子方亮了，被人家卖了还帮着数钱。
林晓伟“嘿嘿”地笑着，对方亮说：“赶紧听章总的吧，你这个祸惹得不小哦，我看你太太眼睛里那可是充满了愤怒啊。”
章艾借机又补充了一句：“我警告你啊，别再跟这个顾梅梅来往了，搞不好，你连自己怎么死的都不知道。”
“哎，不是说这个顾梅梅跟刘子辉有事吗？”张安钊忽然像是很随意地问了一句，没有具体的问话对象，眼睛却看着方亮。
方亮赶紧把头低下，眼睛盯着面前的一杯啤酒。章艾知道，他这是心虚了，他在事情曝光之前应该知道顾梅梅跟刘子辉的事情吧。章艾也不回答，她觉得这句话是个陷阱，怎么回答都是个错。
见方亮没搭茬，张安钊看着章艾，忽然道：“章大姐是鹏城的名人，看样子对这个顾梅梅很了解，跟我们哥几个说说，她背后的男人到底是谁？”
章艾轻轻地笑了：“你们这不是难为大姐吗？我们这些人见见面，吃吃饭，还能问人家背后男人是谁？再说，我们怎么好意思问。微博上是不是看人家有点好东西就嫉妒啊？也许是人家家里有钱，或者是男朋友给买的。”
张安钊看着方亮，故意问：“方总，不是你给买的吧？”
方亮瞪了他一眼：“别瞎说。”几个年轻人互相使了个眼色，都偷偷地笑起来。
章艾端起杯，黑着脸对几个年轻人说：“来，大姐敬你们一杯，别欺负方总啊，人家可是老实人。”
林晓伟碰了一下方亮：“喂，老实人，大姐敬酒呢，端杯啊。”
几个人吆三喝四地开始喝酒，暂时不再说这个话题。不过，章艾发现，张安钊的眼神总是在自己和方亮之间游来移去，不知道在琢磨什么。
过了很久，吴茵茹跟刘岳平才走回来，吴茵茹脸色依旧平静，刘岳平也同样像什么事也没有一样。一坐在那里就张罗喝酒，还跟方亮干了两杯。
章艾悄悄问吴茵茹：“没事吧？”
吴茵茹面色平静地回答：“没事。”
章艾不无担心地说：“回家以后别跟方亮吵，吵多了伤感情。”
吴茵茹脸上依旧没有表情，回答：“我现在想的是怎么让山本不伤筋动骨，懒得理他。”
吴茵茹这句话让章艾心里开始忐忑，她知道，至少在近期吴茵茹不会跟方亮怎么样，但是，当山本这件事结束了呢？那就难说了。吴茵茹是一个把爱情看得非常重的人，仅仅说方亮和顾梅梅是普通朋友她就相信啦？
回家的路上，章艾一直在分析今天吴茵茹后来的表现是出于什么样的心理，她忽然变得那么平静，究竟是在想什么？她跟刘岳平后来又谈了些什么？
一个电话打过来了，是罗晓丹的，她先是抱歉，说是
