Liu Qingyuan just said that and then hung up the phone abruptly. Jiang Xueliang held his phone, his face that had just softened turned grim again; muscles twitching, his hand clutching the phone with knuckles whitening.
"Old Jiang, what's wrong?" Cui Ying immediately asked with concern.
Grinding his teeth, Jiang Xueliang said: "Liu Qingyuan wants me to toast him upstairs. I'm not his deputy anymore, why should I listen to him? I'm not going."
Cui Ying's face also turned very ugly, but in the end, she still restrained herself and said: "You should still make the trip. Guard against gentlemen but not against villains. Liu Qingyuan is always hovering around the district chief and the district party secretary. If he badmouths you behind your back and you're left with no future, that would be even worse."
