Chapter 428: Having a Drink with Jianjun

Jianjun hurriedly came in from outside the office building.

Xiao Feng grabbed my hand,

"Jianqiang, if Jianjun dares to seize you, I'll die trying to stop him."

I then patted Xiao Feng's shoulder,

"Xiao Feng, don't say such things,

"Since we've come, let's make the best of it."

"He Jianjun doesn't yet have the ability to seize me."

My words had just fallen,

Jianjun came straight in from outside,

"Who is it? Lacking that ability. Let me see, what kind of relatives are these? Let me get to know them properly."

After saying that, Jianjun took off his sunglasses,

then looked at me,

I looked at him.

Everyone stared at each other for about a minute.

Jianjun laughed loudly and said, "Who did I think it was? Turns out it's Jianqiang. Indeed a relative, great—it's been so many days since we last saw each other.

"Jianqiang, are you still okay?"

"Oh, Brother Jianjun, you became chairman so quickly. Truly impressive. I remember when I saw you last year, you were still running some entertainment city—how did you suddenly become chairman?" I said,

smiling, I extended my hand.

Jianjun also extended his hand,

"Heh, you've retired and aren't working anymore; this mess needs someone to take over, right. Besides, this Qi He Kuang mine was invested in by my sister,

"Sigh, there's no choice; I had to grit my teeth and take it on."

"Jianqiang, I never thought we'd meet again here. Oh, Shi Yong is also here—how should I address this brother?" Jianjun greeted Shi Yong and Ding Li behind me.

"I'm Ding Li, hello Brother Jianjun." Ding Li said.

"Brother Jianjun, damn, you're much more handsome than before. You used to be a country bumpkin, now you're like a badass publicly traded CEO." Shi Yong gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"Shi Yong brother knows how to speak; when was I ever a country bumpkin? I've always been a hotshot. In Qi He, who doesn't know me, Jianjun?" Jianjun laughed proudly.

"Brother, Jianqiang has come, asking about the Qi He Kuang mine. I've already explained to him that the city has taken it back—there's nothing we can do. I've made this clear, Jianqiang, you may go. Don't think about the Qi He Kuang mine anymore; your investment here is basically nonexistent." Xiao Feng said, then pushed me toward the door.

"Don't, sister, Jianqiang, it's been hard to come back this time; we must have a drink—we're old friends, old buddies. Not drinking would be wrong. Jianqiang, I've hired a few new chefs from the big hotel outside.

"Their spicy chicken is professional; I heard you like this.

"I'll have them make spicy chicken right away." Jianjun said happily.

Xiao Feng thought I would refuse,

but I didn't expect to say, "Brother Jianjun knows me best—I love this. Alas, these days I haven't been eating or sleeping well outside,

"just thinking about that spicy chicken makes me start walking."

"Hurry up and arrange it—it must be nice and spicy."

"All right, Jianqiang, you can relax." After saying that to me, Jianjun

then shouted toward the outside: "Let the canteen chef stir-fry some spicy chicken, using black-legged chicken, and add plenty of chili peppers."

The person outside responded and left.

Shi Yong then said, "Brother Jianjun, do we still have good liquor in this mine? Back when I was section chief here, every meal was incomplete without good liquor.

"Bring out all the good liquor you've stored—I also want to quench my craving."

"There's plenty, there's plenty, liquor is abundant. Brother Shi Yong, say how much you want to drink—today I, Jianjun, will definitely supply enough." Jianjun said with a laugh.

"That's great—let's go, let's not just chat here; let's drink and talk." Shi Yong said.

"Shi Yong, why are you so clueless? Don't you have other matters to discuss? Jianqiang, attend to your business first. We can drink later." Xiao Feng hurriedly said.

"Enough, sister, don't interfere with our catching up. If you're not at ease, join us—then you two can have a good chat as well,

"Jianqiang's wife had a car accident and still hasn't woken up,

"and Ye Jianming's whereabouts are unknown—maybe he's dead.

"You two have some past matters,

"let's talk about them properly." Jianjun said with a smile.

"This Jianjun is really something—how can he talk about his own sister like that? He treats his own sister as less than human,

"Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's eyes filled with tears, and she then shouted loudly,

"\"You're not my brother, you're not human—Jianqiang, run! He wants to seize you. \"

"Nonsense. Xiao Feng, what's your purpose in saying that? Really. Someone, take Xiao Feng the accountant away—she's exhausted." Jianjun said.

At that moment, two people entered from outside, each grabbing one of Xiao Feng's arms, and walked out.

"Jianqiang, hurry up." Xiao Feng was still shouting loudly.

Jianjun then gave those two people a glance,

I saw one of them immediately cover Xiao Feng's mouth to prevent her from shouting.

I was about to say something,

Jianjun laughed and said, "Jianqiang, this Xiao Feng really worries herself sick for you, constantly arguing with me these days, claiming the mine's shares are your investment and the profit share includes you.

"I'm not clear on this either, but today we two have cleared it up, so Xiao Feng won't be stuck in the middle."

I smiled and said, "Alright, everything's out in the open—let's go, let's drink and chat."

"Good, let's go—let's drink and chat." Jianjun said.

We followed Jianjun out of the reception hall and headed straight for the canteen.

In the office building, I could no longer see Xiao Feng's figure.

Xiao Feng doesn't know where Jianjun has locked her up.

I said in my heart: "Xiao Feng, sister, I'm sorry. This matter can't be spoken plainly to you. I'll explain it to you later."

The more you know now, the less safe you are.

Actually, Jianjun is just locking up Xiao Feng; he will definitely not take her life.

If Xiao Feng comes out of the Qi He Kuang mine, then it's hard to say; staying in the Qi He Kuang mine actually makes her safer.

Jianjun used her to lure me over; then Xiao Feng would have no use value, and she would instead be freer.

But she will feel sad in her heart; later I will explain to Xiao Feng, and I believe they will understand me.

Our group quickly arrived at the canteen of the Qi He Kuang mine.

This canteen is still the one I renovated back then.

Later, it underwent another upgrade.

It should be considered a decent company canteen.

When I was here before, I didn't set up any private rooms; workers and cadres ate the same meals, everyone eating the same big-pot dish.

To let the workers see it, that meant the mine's cadres had no special privileges.

This good habit has been maintained for many years,

Later I left the Qi He Kuang mine and let Zhao Xiaoguo become the mine director; he then started messing around.

Several luxurious private rooms were built in the canteen.

Jianjun quickly came to the canteen and opened the door of a private room,

The three of us entered in single file.

Jianjun had us three take the seats of honor.

He sat at the doorway.

Ding Li and he argued for half a day, but he would not agree to anything.

This meaning is obvious: if there is any situation, none of us three can escape; we will all be blocked in the room.

I said to Ding Li: "Ding Li, stop arguing; since Brother Jianjun has said so, let's just sit down.

"Before, I was supposed to sit in that seat; I never expected that today I would become a guest."

Jianjun laughed: "What host and guest? We brothers still distinguish each other.

We've known each other for so long,

I dream of you all the time,

Jianqiang, I'm speaking the truth.

I miss you so much I can hardly recognize you."

"Yeah, me too, I also dream of you. Today's liquor, we should drink it well." I said happily.

"What are you two men thinking? Oh my, I only dream of women." Shi Yong said.

We all laughed heartily.
