Section 6
No, it is not.
At the age of five, should he learn traditional Chinese painting or the violin, or should he practice English conversation with his cousin who has returned from abroad? Kang Jian stood in front of the farmer's market under the dim yellow lights, quietly watching the flickering, hazy light in the big blinking eyes of the white goose.
"Leader Kang, leaving midway will upset my colleagues. Hehe, Leader Kang, safe travels, and I wish you a good appetite tonight." She subtly stepped aside.
Leader Kang, do you know the prices of vegetables and fish meat for the current season
Kang Jian's mood seems quite good, smiling, "People only have different roles; there is no distinction of nobility or inferiority. If I don't have to work overtime at night, I often go out for drinks with the secretaries. However, such opportunities are rare
Kang Jian seemed to be quite hungry, as he hardly spoke during the meal and was very focused on eating. In the middle of the meal, his phone rang twice; he glanced at it and directly dismissed the calls. Later, when the phone rang again, he turned it off.
The elevator doors opened, and Lin Feng watched as Bai Yan stepped into the elevator, her long black hair gently swaying on her shoulders
"Is he your relative?" Lin Feng was extremely curious; she could tell that Kang Jian and Bai Yan spoke with a very familiar tone.
The driver had parked the car at the entrance of the hotel. Kang Jian whispered something to Jian Dan. Jian Dan glanced at Bai Yan with a smile, opened the car door, and Secretary Wu took the front seat while he sat in the back. The car then drove away
Two people ordered two stir-fried dishes, one soup, and half a duck, without any wine, and went straight to the main course. The duck was indeed well roasted, the sauce was very authentic, but the scallions were a bit old
You see, we have never had any common interests since we were young. Leader Kang, your time is like warm sunshine, and it should be spread across the vast land of Binjiang. Please do not waste it on me, as I would feel guilty. Thank you for inviting me to dinner. If you have any instructions, please have Secretary Jian call me. I will help you hail a taxi. " As she spoke, she ran into the road and raised her hand to flag down a car.
Bai Yan closed her eyes and thought, it doesn't matter; he is not afraid of rumors affecting his bright future, so what is she afraid of?
Even when casually seated in a small restaurant, mingling with the ordinary people, the coldness and nobility in Kang Jian's demeanor are still impossible to overlook. A dragon is a dragon, and an insect is an insect, Bai Yan remarked.
"In front is the pedestrian street, where there is a very authentic Beijing roast duck restaurant. We will go there to fill our stomachs," Kang Jian said, walking down the steps side by side with Bai Yan. Upon reaching the street, he circled around Bai Yan, walking on her outer side.
The white goose still maintains a smile on its face, but the joy only wanders in the distance and has not reached the depths of its eyes
Kang Jian furrowed his brows slightly, disregarding the glances cast at him from the corridor, and walked straight up to Bai Yan, stopping in front of her. "What a coincidence, are you gathering here with friends?"
The restaurant below the hotel should still be in operation, "Bai Yan reminded with a friendly wink.
Now go down, order again, and wait for it to be cooked. I wonder how long it will take. Are you afraid that we won't give a gift of money, Secretary Jiang?" Kang Jian turned around
"There is no need for two people; it is better to eat outside." Kang Jian elegantly took a seat and picked up the menu
I came directly from the office with Secretary Jian and Secretary Wu, and I still haven't had dinner until now
Is it useful to say no? Tonight, Bai Yan has experienced the decisive working style of Leader Kang. Those who recognize the times are the true talents. She looked at him with a smile, "It is my honor"
Leader Kang, are you being picked up or are you taking a taxi back? The meal is finished, and it is only natural to take my leave. That said, she still has lingering fears from the last time "Strolling in the Rain".
The relationship between leaders and the led
Lin Feng nodded as if in a trance, without asking Bai Yan, he directly walked into the dining room, took Bai Yan's coat and bag, and quickly came out.
Kang Jian looked at the streetlights in the night and said, "I ate too much, will you walk with me?"
In the midst of our conversation, we have already arrived at the roast duck restaurant
"Do you also know about this kind of small restaurant?" Bai Yan asked in surprise
Since it is a wedding, there must be quite a few tables
Kang Jian was taken aback, instinctively furrowing his brows
Kang Jian let out a sound of realization, understanding, and spread his hands, saying, "It seems I am an unpopular person. Never mind, let's go out to eat. Do you have any clothes inside?" He pointed to a restaurant not far away.
She is truly intelligent, seeing through his intentions, and once again gently yet firmly rejected him
Bai Yan was taken aback. Did this "we" include her? After all, she was invited here and had given a substantial gift. Currently, she didn't even have a boyfriend, and the prospect of recouping her costs seemed distant. The only thing she could do tonight was to eat and drink more to soothe her wounded wallet
Bai Yan had a little to eat at the banquet, and it was dinner time again. Concerned about gaining weight from overeating, she only picked up a few chopsticks of stir-fried dishes, then held a cup of hot tea to warm her hands, sipping it slowly from time to time.
Two individuals walked slowly along the pedestrian street, turning many corners, stopping in front of several shops to comment on the goods in the display windows. They then crossed People's Square and passed by a farmers' market, where Bai Yan came to a halt.
You are consuming the earthly fireworks, which are indeed the fireworks enjoyed by ordinary people
Bai Yan glared at Kang Jian's back, rolled her eyes at the ceiling, and said, "If I had such a relative, I would have been strutting around the hospital by now"
Do you think I am not of this world?
The white goose thought ungraciously: Does this leader Kang intend to take advantage of the food and drink?
Are you the bridesmaid? Kang Jian remained motionless, his gaze piercing.
More than thirty tables, I didn't count them carefully. Leader Kang, you are busy, I will go in first
Jian and Secretary Wu have been waiting at the elevator entrance for a while
"Then let's go, with hundreds of guests, no one will notice if one is missing. Hurry up, I am really hungry." Kang Jian suddenly looked at the stunningly beautiful Lin Feng, who was wandering around in a daze. "Are you a colleague of Bai Yan? Please go in and help her get her clothes. If anyone asks, please give her a heads-up. Thank you!" It was extremely polite yet impossible to refuse.
Kang Jian took her coat and handbag, thanked Lin Feng again, and walked gracefully towards the elevator
"No, no..." Bai Yan was just about to cover his mouth with her hand. "Leader Kang, your presence at my colleague's wedding is truly a blessing for the couple. However..." She tilted her head and elongated her tone, "A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event for them. It is not easy for them to be the main characters, and with such a prominent figure like you attending, wouldn't it overshadow them?"
Bai Yan swallowed hard, her gaze darting around the store. Indeed, Kang Jian's face, which frequently appeared on television, had already attracted the attention of other customers, and whispers began to arise from all directions.
The wind is a bit strong, and the white goose raises the collar of its coat, smiling very candidly, "I knew it when I was five years old, and I could even bargain. Leader Kang, what were you doing when you were five?"
Lin Feng's beautiful long eyelashes fluttered incessantly, "So who are you?"
"With so many tables of wine, I am sure you won't mind a few more guests!" Kang Jian interrupted Bai Yan's words.
"In response to the leader's words, it was not a gathering, but rather attending a colleague's wedding. Stepping out for a breath of fresh air, I was drawn in by the applause and was very honored to listen to Leader Kang's wonderful speech." Bai Yan smiled again, her dimples showing.
The bill is ready, standing at the door, the crisp cold wind causes the white geese to shiver.
The store has round tables, as well as couple tables facing each other. Kang Jian walked towards a small square table at the end, and Bai Yan tugged at his sleeve, "Leader Kang, we would like a private room."
