Chapter 269 Undercurrent surging
That night, Xu Honggang, Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi went to Quanjude to have a roast duck. After eating, Ye Xinyi went back to her room to rest, and Qiao Liang accompanied Xu Honggang for a walk.
While walking, Xu Honggang said in a low voice: "Xiao Qiao, since I came to Beijing to study, I vaguely felt an undercurrent surging in Jiangzhou. This undercurrent seems to be getting more and more surging recently..."
Qiao Liang looked at Xu Honggang in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xu Honggang patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder: "I am not in Jiangzhou. You should be extra cautious in doing things and think twice before doing everything."
Qiao Liang nodded, looked at Xu Honggang's heavy expression, and suddenly felt a little nervous, but more so he was confused and ignorant.
The next day, because she went to bed early last night, Qiao Liang woke up at around 5 o'clock, and called Ye Xinyi's room. She woke up, and the two decided to rush back early.
So the two got up and checked out, drove away directly. When they left Beijing, it was not yet dawn.
I drove for 2 hours in one breath, had breakfast in the middle service area, and continued on my way. I passed Huangyuan at around 9 am, arrived at Guanzhou service area at 11 o'clock, and reached Jiangzhou's boundary 100 kilometers further.
Qiao Liang drove the car into the service area. The two got out of the car and rested. Qiao Liang went to the bathroom to get rid of his hands.
When we walked towards the bathroom, we saw a man and a woman hurried out, and said while walking the woman: "We must hurry up to Guanzhou city, otherwise the wedding banquet will be late."
"What are you anxious about? I have plenty of time. By the way, where is the wedding banquet in?"
"Guanzhou Hotel..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Qiao Liang remembered the incident of fooling Chu Heng on Friday and talking about going to Guanzhou for a wedding banquet, and couldn't help but laugh.
Qiao Liang had just come out of the bathroom when his cell phone rang. He saw that it was Chu Heng calling.
Damn, why did Chu Heng call himself at this time?
"Brother Chu——" Qiao Liang answered immediately.
"Xiao Qiao, where are you in Guanzhou now?" Chu Heng's happy voice came from the phone.
Qiao Liang was stunned. What did he mean by asking himself this? His mind quickly changed: "I was at the Guanzhou Expressway exit and picked up a few classmates who were Huang Yuan who had a wedding banquet, and then went to the hotel together."
"Oh, which hotel is the wedding banquet?" Chu Heng continued to ask.
Qiao Liang thought about it for a while, remembered the conversation between the man and the woman he met just now, and immediately said: "Guanzhou Hotel, why, Brother Chu is here in Guanzhou?"
"No."
"Then Brother Chu asked me if this is..." Qiao Liang didn't understand Chu Heng's meaning for a while.
"That's right. Minister Qin called me just now. He went to the countryside today and made a good inkstone. Minister Qin knew that I like to practice calligraphy. I thought I would give it to me when I was free. I thought that you were in Guanzhou today, so I would bring it back to me."
Chu Heng was proud of his idea of verifying Qiao Liang. Yesterday he called Qin Chuan and learned that he was going to the countryside today, so he asked him to help get a local specialty inkstone. If Qiao Liang is really in Guanzhou, then let him bring it back. If Qiao Liang is lying, it will naturally be exposed.
Qiao Liang immediately guessed Chu Heng’s thoughts. There was no such coincidence. It must be Chu Heng who wanted to use this to test himself.
"Okay, Brother Chu, I will contact Minister Qin to get the inkstone after the wedding banquet."
"You don't have to look for Minister Qin. He is on his way back to the city from the countryside. I just let him pass by the Guanzhou Hotel."
"That's fine. I got a classmate and arrived at the hotel at about 12 o'clock."
"Well, okay, I guess Minister Qin was almost here at that time."
After answering Chu Heng's call, Qiao Liang broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, fortunately he stopped in the Guanzhou service area. Fortunately, he heard the conversation between the man and the woman just now, otherwise it would be too late to write it.
God helps me.
After Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi got in the car, they started the car and said, "Minister Ye, let's go to Guanzhou for lunch."
"Why? I won't eat in the highway service area?" Ye Xinyi said strangely.
"The meals in the service area are too bad. Let's go to Guanzhou for a good meal and I'll treat you."
Ye Xinyi thought that Qiao Liang had suffered a lot along the way, and it was reasonable to have a good meal, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll treat you."
"That's fine, I'll treat you to pay." Qiao Liang grinned.
Ye Xinyi curled her lips. This guy is really a person who never suffers losses. Isn’t it the same thing?
Qiao Liang drove off the highway at the Guanzhou exit and followed the navigation prompts to go straight to Guanzhou Hotel. It was almost 12 o'clock.
It was very lively in front of the hotel. Two groups of married people held a wedding banquet here, and guests shuttled and walked around.
Qiao Liang parked his car in front of the hotel: "Just eat here."
Ye Xinyi looked out: "I'm here to hold a wedding banquet, why are we here to join in the fun? Find some other hotels?"
"I think this hotel is very classy, and the dishes must be good, so I'd better eat here."
"The hotel is of grade, and the food may not be delicious."
"What? Are you reluctant to spend money?" Qiao Liang glared.
Ye Xinyi was stunned. Damn, this guy is a bit evil today. He insisted on joining the fun of the wedding banquet, and deliberately provoked himself.
"Hmph, just eat, you think you can't afford to treat you." Ye Xinyi said and got out of the car.
Qiao Liang got out of the car, and the two of them entered the hotel. Qiao Liang asked the waiter: "We are having dinner, are there any tables?"
The waiter said: "The big table and single room are packaged by wedding banquets, only the restaurant upstairs can do it."
"Okay, let's go there to eat." Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi, "You go up and order the dishes first, I'll take a walk below."
"What are you turning?"
"Let me see if the bride is beautiful?" Qiao Liang grinned.
Ye Xinyi rolled her eyelids. What does it have to do with you whether the bride is beautiful or not? Anyway, the groom is not you, so this guy is so bored.
Ye Xinyi was too lazy to talk about Qiao Liang, so she went upstairs to the restaurant at Zero Ok, and Qiao Liang was strolling at the hotel entrance.
After a while, a black car came over and stopped. Qin Chuan opened the car door and got off, holding a bag in his hand. Qiao Liang hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello Minister Qin." Qiao Liang greeted Qin Chuan with warm greetings.
"Hello Director Qiao." Qin Chuan happily handed the bag to Qiao Liang, "This is the inkstone for Minister Chu. He said you happened to have a wedding wine here, so I sent it here."
Qiao Liang took the bag: "Thank you Minister Qin, do you want to have a few drinks together?"
Qin Chuan shook his head: "I don't know the bride and groom, so I'm sorry to drink some wedding wine. Besides, I didn't take the gifts."
Qiao Liang nodded: "Well, this is true, then I won't keep Minister Qin."
"Goodbye Director Qiao, I'll come and have a special time with Minister Chu. I'll ask you to have a good meal." Qin Chuan shook hands with Qiao Liang, then got in the car and left.
Qiao Liang then put the inkstone in the trunk of the car and called Chu Heng: "Brother Chu, Minister Qin just gave me the inkstone, and he left."
"Oh, that's OK."
At this moment, the wedding banquet began, and firecrackers were roaring. Qiao Liang covered his ears and said loudly: "Brother Chu, I won't talk to you more. The firecrackers here are too loud. I'm going to go in for the wedding banquet."
"Haha, OK, go, drink less, don't make a fool of yourself when you get drunk."
"Okay, goodbye Brother Chu." Qiao Liang hung up the phone, sneered, and then went into the hotel to go upstairs.
