Li Youwei said meaningfully: "It is obvious that you are Secretary An's secretary and are deeply trusted by Secretary An. Although he is the Secretary-General of the Grand Secretary, this cannot be ignored, let alone he is a newcomer."

Qiao Liang nodded: "So, he specifically asked me to inform me to attend his dinner tonight, which is also of this kind?"

"Yes, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you attend tonight's dinner or not. The key is to let you know that you have you in his eyes, which is enough. Moreover, if you state the reason why you can't attend in front of him, and he will continue to follow the flow to help you, it will naturally make you grateful to him and have a good impression of him. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Li Youwei said.

Qiao Liang sighed a little: "This guy is really smart."

"Who is not smart enough to get into this position? And you can't lose your mind." Li Youwei said, "You can understand Zhang Haitao's thoughts in your heart. He shows you good deeds to you through this hidden way. You need to understand this love. The essence of this person is good. You have to get along with him well, which will benefit you and everyone."

Qiao Liang nodded and agreed: "I will. Secretary An also told me in front of him today, and asked me to report to him more and ask for instructions in the future."

"When Qin Chuan was Secretary-General, Secretary An had never said that, did he?"

"No."

"That's it, it shows that Secretary An admires Zhang Haitao and is satisfied with Zhang Haitao's role as Secretary-General." Li Youwei said, "And, based on my previous understanding of Zhang Haitao, this person's temperament is somewhat similar to yours. It will be much easier for you to deal with him than with Qin Chuan."

Qiao Liang remembered the heartfelt appreciation of Zhang Haitao and he joked with each other in the afternoon, and nodded. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

The two continued to drink, and after one bottle, they opened another bottle.

Li Youwei quit smoking after the accident, but his alcohol tolerance seemed to have increased a lot.

After a while, Li Youwei said: "After this Jiangzhou earthquake, the people who killed Xiaoya's father got the consequences they deserve, and they also pulled out the big borer Jing Haoran. Xiaoya felt great satisfaction in this. You made an indelible contribution to this."

When Li Youwei mentioned Fang Xiaoya, Qiao Liang couldn't help but look dim. Although he helped Fang Xiaoya avenge his father, Fang Xiaoya left.

Li Youwei continued: "Liangzi, in fact, you should understand Xiaoya's thoughts about you very well."

Qiao Liang nodded silently: "I know, I understand, it's just..."

"I probably should understand you." Li Youwei interrupted Qiao Liang and then sighed, "I can't say much about the private issues between you and Xiaoya, but Xiaoya is back in the United States now, and I'm afraid she won't come back in a short time."

"Boss, why? Why did Xiaoya suddenly want to return to the United States? Why can't she come back in the short term?" Qiao Liang looked at Li Youwei.

Li Youwei was silent for a moment: "Xiaoya is going back to the United States this time. The surface reason is that her father's undead was comforted. The group has me to manage her without worries, but in fact, the real reason is that she wants to completely cut off her thoughts about you. Moreover, even if you have this intention now, she will not agree to you."

"Why? Why is this?" Qiao Liang asked anxiously.

Li Youwei's expression was a little heavy: "A few days ago, when Xiaoya and I were on a business trip, they suddenly had a colic in their lower abdomen. I hurriedly sent her to the hospital. The examination result was that Xiaoya had a very bad disease, and the root of the disease was in the ovary area. Fortunately, it has not spread yet. The treatment plan given by the doctor is to remove it..."

"Ah!" Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment and stared at Li Youwei in a daze.

Li Youwei continued: "I was also very shocked when Xiaoya heard this result. Considering that Xiaoya was still young and could not easily remove an organ that was extremely important to women, I asked the doctor if there were any other better ways. The doctor suggested that there was a large hospital in Beijing with advanced conservative treatment technology that could preserve the ovaries and go to the United States to treat it better. The technology there was more advanced, but the premise was that it could not spread. Moreover, even if conservative treatment was used, Xiaoya had almost no possibility of becoming a mother..."

Qiao Liang was extremely shocked, numb all over, staring at Li Youwei blankly, and a huge pain surged in his heart, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Li Youwei continued: "Considering Xiaoya's health and the stability of the group, Xiaoya and I decided to keep this secret inside and outside the group. Xiaoya originally refused to go to the United States and wanted to go to Beijing for treatment, but when she thought that she had this disease, even if the best result was, she could not be with you again because she could not have a baby for you.

So, Xiaoya decided to go to the United States, and first, she could get better treatment there, and second, she stayed away from you and completely cut off her thoughts about you. This may be the best arrangement for you and her. Xiaoya told me her thoughts truthfully. Considering Xiaoya's health and your current situation, I also agreed. So I just said that even if you are interested in Xiaoya now, she will not agree to you again..."

Listening to Li Youwei's words, Qiao Liang's body couldn't help but tremble, his mind was blank, and his whole body seemed to lose consciousness.

So that's it. It turns out that the real reason why Fang Xiaoya went to the United States is here!

Qiao Liang's eyes suddenly turned red and his heart was in pain.

Li Youwei continued: "I originally wanted to tell you this earlier, but Xiaoya disagreed. She didn't want you to worry about her and didn't want you to bear a heavy psychological burden. Xiaoya told me that although she really wanted to be with you, you seemed to show more of friendship and family affection to her. Although she didn't understand the whole reason, she was unwilling to make you embarrassed.

Especially after learning that she had this disease, she completely gave up the idea of ​​being with you, and decided to treat you as a close friend and brother from the bottom of her heart, and decided not to let herself affect your future marriage and life. Xiaoya is such an excellent woman. At this time, she is still considering you and thinking about you..."

Listening to Li Youwei's words, Qiao Liang's eyes turned redder and tears flowed in his heart.

"Why? Why do good people always do this? First Zhang Lin left, and now Xiaoya..." Qiao Liang's voice stopped even further.

Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang silently and sighed for a long time: "In this world, although bad people will eventually get bad rewards, good people may not necessarily get good rewards. Heaven is above, God has no eyes..."

Qiao Liang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, looking up at the ceiling and was speechless. At this time, he felt not only suffocating pain, but also unspeakable self-blame and deep guilt from the other party Xiaoya.

After a long time, Qiao Liang let out a heavy sigh and looked at Li Youwei with a hazy look: "Boss, what should I do now? What should I do for Xiaoya?"

Li Youwei said calmly: "Since Xiaoya has made up her mind and has gone to the United States, you can't do anything now, and you can't do anything. Perhaps the only thing you can do is to pray for Xiaoya like me, pray for her to be safe, and pray for her to be able to recover..."

"No, what I can do, what I can do, I can resign and go to the United States. I will be with Xiaoya and accompany her to treat her illness until she recovers." Qiao Liang said impulsively.

Li Youwei shook her head slowly: "A momentary impulse cannot solve the problem. If you do this, it will not only be of no use to Xiaoya's treatment, but will also disappoint her."

"Why?"

"Because Xiaoya knows that feelings cannot be forced, she knows that you do this only from conscience and friendship, not the kind of feelings she needs. Moreover, she knows that you are a person who is very persistent in your career. If you give up the career you have been struggling for so easily, she will be very unhappy and will feel deeply disappointed with you..."

Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei blankly. Although he was indeed a little impulsive just now, and although Li Youwei's words made sense, he was still extremely sad.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Qiao Liang did not eat, left Li Youwei's house, stumbled on the street where there was no one in the night, looking up at the stars flashing in the deep night sky, thinking of Fang Xiaoya, who was already far away from the ocean, felt aching in her heart and tears rolled down.
