Li Mengmeng looked at Ke Jianhua, and felt that this shouldn't be a coincidence. Sure enough, the way Ke Jianhua and she looked at each other was filled with encouragement.
Li Mengmeng picked up the red wine that was just served and poured half a cup. She stood up and saluted to Minister Sun:
"Department Head Sun, this is the first time meeting. Please take care of me in the future."
Following that, he raised his wine cup towards the table of people not far away.
The group of people that followed Department Head Sun to the table could tell that the relationship between Li Mengmeng and the two was not as simple as that between the little secretary and the boss. Her expression and eyes had become much more reserved. SShe merely raised her wine cup politely towards Li Mengmeng. He gathered them together and continued to eat and drink.
When Department Head Sun walked over, he had already noticed that the distance between the chairs of the two were extremely close, and after facing each other for so many years, he knew that Ke Jianhua would never make a scandal, nor did he have any intentions towards his subordinates.
Facing Li Mengmeng's toast, Department Head Sun naturally understood everything. She smiled lightly at Li Mengmeng and spoke politely:
"Miss Li will also need to be taken care of in the future. Your Ke's has contributed greatly to the economy of this city. It's one of the businesses I admire the most. "
After he finished speaking, he turned his head towards Ke Jianhua:
"Jianhua, if you have anything to say, just say it. You and I have known each other for many years, there's no need to be polite. "
Ke Jianhua gave a meaningful smile as he raised his wine cup and clinked it against Department Head Sun's.
"Good!" From now on, our Ke's is going to put in more effort to further our city construction. "
Department Head Sun let out a "hehehe" laugh. It was truly like the new generation pushing the previous one. This kid from the Ke family was much stronger than his old man.
After chatting for a while, Ke Jianye gave Li Mengmeng a hint. Li Mengmeng smiled as if she had inadvertently brought it up:
"Department Head Sun, I heard that there's a problem with the vast ocean company's territory?"
Upon hearing those words, the smiling face of Department Head Sun suddenly turned serious.
"What is it? Miss Li, you fancy that piece of abandoned land in the wide sea? "
When Li Mengmeng heard the word 'abandoned', her heart skipped a beat. Her face was a little anxious as she quickly asked:
"What is it? That piece of land, Miss Li, wants to take it? "
Department Head Sun saw that Li Mengmeng had no other ideas for the moment, and turned to Ke Jianhua and said:
"Brother, after listening to brother's advice, I might as well not take that piece of land in the vast sea. There are so many empty spots in our city, I can give you the approval of any of them if you take a fancy to one. Only Kuanghai is the only one. I said something that doesn't count, but it has to be approved by the higher ups. " After saying that, Department Head Sun pointed up with his finger, showing a helpless look.
Ke Jianhua politely smiled.
"I understand Department Head Sun's words."
Department Head Sun replied with a modest smile:
"If I don't say it, you will understand. "But there have been a lot of people with the same idea as you recently. A few days ago, there was someone who asked me about the vast ocean." After he finished speaking, Department Head Sun purposely kept Ke Jianhua in suspense, as he looked at the dishes on Ke Jianhua's side. Since he was hungry, he went back to eat.
After exiting the restaurant, Li Mengmeng was very unhappy. If they couldn't handle that piece of land in the wide sea, the profits from Ke's would be reduced by a large half. As she was feeling anxious in her heart, Ke Jianhua put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her.
"What, sighing over such a small problem? We're thinking of something else. "
When Li Mengmeng heard him say "we", she immediately felt at ease. However, after thinking about Sun Xiaoxiao's disgusting words, she shook her head again, unsure of what to do.
Ke Jianhua thought about what Department Head Sun wanted to say but hesitated. Who would want to go to the vast ocean? That was something that he had in his Ke's. Who would have such a big appetite to steal food from the mouth of Ke's?
I'll investigate this matter when I get back. Ke Jianhua cleared his mind and looked at Li Mengmeng, who was walking beside him. She had been so nervous about the land and hadn't eaten much since. He asked her:
"Let's eat something."
Li Mengmeng shook his head, then nodded again. Ke Jianhua had been toasting all along, and did not see him eat anything, so he was afraid that his stomach would hurt. Li Mengmeng raised his head, barely able to laugh.
"Alright, I'm not full yet."
Ke Jianhua took a few turns and stopped in front of a small restaurant that was known as the "Household Cuisine".
Entering the shop, the fragrance of food wafted in. It swept away the unhappiness in Li Mengmeng's heart, and then asked for the menu when she found a seat.
After ordering a few hot dishes casually, the dishes were served quickly, and Li Mengmeng began to praise the dishes after she tasted them one by one.
Delicious food, can sweep away all worries...
After the plate was empty and the bowl empty, Li Mengmeng quietly said that she would frequently come to the restaurant to eat, and she would still be able to sneakily cook.
Ke Jianhua could not help but smile, he could only steal his culinary skills and not be so stupid.
"There is no need to work so hard to become a chef. It's fine if I teach you, but you don't have to pay any tuition. "
Li Mengmeng thought that it was true. Thus, she nodded in agreement.
Ke Jianhua snickered in his heart. There was no free lunch in this world, if one did not pay tuition, they would have to use other methods to exchange for it.
After the afternoon break, Li Mengmeng buried his head into the computer and started searching for information that might be useful for the project. Even after racking her brains, he still could not think of a good idea. She laid on the table in a daze, his head hanging low.
Xiao Ling had already felt that Li Mengmeng was abnormal, but seeing that she was busy, he did not dare disturb her. Now that he saw her lying on the table with her head hanging low, he quickly came over and asked:
"What's wrong, poor little thing?"
Sighing, Li Mengmeng said: "Other than that project, what else can I do?"
Xiao Ling thought, then patted Li Mengmeng's shoulder:
"Do you remember that we have a few old classmates who work in the government? Shall we talk about it one by one?"
Li Mengmeng shook her head:
"It's useless. Even the Earth Resources Department's Department Head Sun couldn't do anything about that piece of land. "
Hearing that, Xiao Ling's curiosity was piqued, and she continued to ask:
"How could you meet such a high official!" After thinking for a moment, he suddenly poked Li Mengmeng and asked excitedly:
"President Ke wouldn't have brought you to some banquet, right? "Sure, Xiao Meng. Being able to take you to some public places means that this man recognizes you very much …"
Li Mengmeng did not wait for Xiao Ling to continue speaking and shot her a fierce look:
"Shut up!"
Xiao Ling complained in dissatisfaction:
"You are ignoring me and becoming more and more cold. All day long, you have been dominated by that President Ke of yours. You think too highly of me."
Li Mengmeng begged for mercy at the top of her head:
"Aunt, this is messy enough. When I finish this project, I will definitely rebuild my friendship. The two of us have always loved to revive and never leave each other."
Xiao Ling laughed and continued working in satisfaction.
It was good that no one came to disturb Li Mengmeng even after work.
When Xiao Ling got off work, she ran away with her backpack and even said a few words:
"Mengmeng, the first moment of the Spring Lantern Festival is worth a thousand gold. I wish you a pleasant evening. I'll be leaving first.
What? Sometimes Li Mengmeng even wondered if she was a close friend who had known him for many years, or a bad friend who had intentionally lurked by his side to watch the show.
With regards to the things that happened today, Li Mengmeng still wanted to talk about it with Ke Jianhua. Thinking about the direction of the upcoming project, after all, the big BOSS had a lot of experience and knowledge, it was sure that it knew much more than she did.
Looking towards Ke Jianhua's office, he discovered that Sun Xiaoxiao's office was also lit. Li Mengmeng immediately understood that from her understanding of Sun Xiaoxiao, working overtime was impossible right now. The only possibility was that she was waiting for Ke Jianhua on purpose.
Li Mengmeng packed her schoolbag. Forget it, she wasn't in a rush to spend the next few days. It's better to go home and eat the food my mother cooks.
As soon as she put her bag on her back, her phone rang on the table. Seeing this familiar phone number, Li Mengmeng wanted to hang up, wanted to ignore it, but she didn't dare. It was Ke Jianhua.
"Hey, President Ke." Li Mengmeng lowered her voice, afraid that Sun Xiaoxiao would hear something.
"Wait a moment."
"I've already left …"
"Then come back." Ke Jianhua hung up the phone.
Li Mengmeng blankly stared at the darkened phone screen. She really didn't know what made Ke Jianhua so confident in himself, always giving orders to her like a master treating a servant.
In a few seconds, Ke Jianhua rushed out from the office. When he saw Li Mengmeng standing in the office, his footsteps immediately slowed down.
The lights in the office were dim because most of the people were home from work. In order to save electricity, the unmanned office area had its chandeliers turned off.
Li Mengmeng's petite body looked ethereal under the dim light, as though she was a young girl stopping in her tracks, awaiting the return of her lover from afar.
Ke Jianhua suddenly felt that his wife had an ancient aura around her. Walking to Li Mengmeng's side, she lightly embraced his soft waist:
"Let's go home."
As Ke Jianhua walked over, Li Mengmeng saw him coming out of the office, and at the same time, discovered him. A sinister aura emitted from Sun Xiaoxiao's body. Li Mengmeng felt a chill in her heart.
Ke Jianhua used his strength to push his wife towards the elevator.
Li Mengmeng's heart stopped in her eyes when she saw Sun Xiaoxiao, she did not realize that Ke Jianhua was hugging her tightly like a couple.
As the car was driving out of the car park, a black figure suddenly came out from that direction. Ke Jianhua stepped on the brakes, causing Li Mengmeng to recover from her shock.
"What's wrong? Did you run into someone? " Looking up, there was a figure standing in front of the carriage. Li Mengmeng touched her heart that was beating extremely fast.
Ke Jianhua saw the back of the figure and his eyes suddenly turned cold. As he backed off and turned the steering wheel to the left, he went around the figure and quickly drove up the road.
"So close, so close. You didn't even apologize to him?" Li Mengmeng was still in a state of shock, she thought that the person must also be extremely frightened.
Ke Jianhua coldly replied:
"She suddenly appeared. It's already considered lucky that she didn't run into him."
Li Mengmeng turned her head to look, the figure had long disappeared.
After getting on the carriage, Ke Jianhua's tone became gentle, and they continued to discuss on where to go.
Li Mengmeng thought for a while, then happily said:
"Then, President Ke can send me home first, and then you can go anywhere you want."
Ke Jianhua turned his head and looked at him coldly:
"What did you say?" "You won't let your husband go home?"
Li Mengmeng's head twitched. "Don't make the relationship so ambiguous, okay?
"It's better not to call me that. I'm going home to sleep. Go back to your house."
Ke Jianhua had an evil smile on his face.
"What, you want to get separated from me right after getting married?"
"Then you …" "What do you mean?"
Li Mengmeng naturally understood what Ke Jianhua meant, it was just that she was not willing to believe it, she just wanted to confirm. Were they really going to live together? That's not too good... A single man and a single woman, living in the same room in complete darkness.
"I mean, we're either going to your house or my house. "Hurry up and decide, there's an intersection up ahead."
At the intersection ahead, the two houses were in the opposite direction.
Of course Li Mengmeng couldn't give her an answer, she was so anxious that she didn't know how to reply.
"Alright then, let's go to your house!" Ke Jianhua switched on the left turn light.
"No!" My bed is not enough! " Li Mengmeng immediately rejected. The last time he had lived in her house, the small room had been used for a long time and had a musty smell. It was best not to live in it.
