Chapter 1247: Gifts are exchanged
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You said it was late, I really have something to do at night......! Wait! Why don't you come over with you in the evening? You and the fourth child of the Li family. ”
"What kind of game are you doing at night?" Song Rui asked, "Is it convenient for us to go over?"
"It's not inconvenient, it's just that the senior director of Xiangnan Satellite TV invited me to dinner, and I also pulled Hou Liang to accompany me!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "If you don't mind, bring Li Xiaosi over!"
Song Rui scolded with a smile: "You kid is just lazy!I don't want to socialize too much, so I just get together, right?"
"Where did you come from so much nonsense?" Xia Ruofei also scolded with a smile, and then asked, "You just say you can't come!"
"Come!" Song Rui said without hesitation, "Why don't I go if someone treats me?
In fact, Song Rui is looking at Xia Ruofei's face, otherwise the people who are waiting to invite him to Song Dashao to eat can fill Chang'an Street, and he really can't look down on ordinary people's dinners.
And Xia Ruofei is actually out of the idea of repaying the peach, Xiangnan Satellite TV and Gao Jun have promoted Taoyuan Company very well this time, I believe that the effect will be shown immediately after the show is broadcast, so he can be regarded as pulling a little network for Gao Jun, although Gao Jun has been in contact with Hou Liang and even Song Rui, but the meaning of this dinner is different, although Gao Jun cannot catch Song Rui's line because of a dinner, but the relationship between the two sides will be much closer, which is undoubtedly a dream for Gao Jun.
"The private dining room of the palace Yaqing box, you can just go over by yourself, the time is about half past six!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Come on, I'll call Li Xiaosi, that guy has wanted to get to know you for a long time. Song Rui said with a smile, "But don't take him too seriously, the old Li family has not been as good as before these years, otherwise Li Xiaosi would not have imported cars all day long." ”
In the eyes of a top gentleman like Song Rui, the work of reversing imported cars is obviously a bit cheap.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay! ”
He is not so utilitarian in making friends, as long as his personality and temper are compatible, he doesn't care whether the other party's identity is prominent or whether the family is prosperous; if his temper is not compatible, even if it is the second and third generations with a background like Song Rui, he will not take a straight look.
With the continuous improvement of his cultivation, Xia Ruofei's mentality has gradually changed, and it is difficult for the worldly position of power to cause any waves in his heart.
Sometimes he is even a little confused - what state will the evolution of life eventually reach? And the life that has evolved to a higher level is still the same as the current ordinary human being? In a sense, it is already another species, right?
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei got up and went to the bedroom to take a nap for a while, got up at four o'clock to wash up, changed into casual clothes, and came to the living room to find tea leaves and make tea for a while.
A little after five o'clock, Qin Yanan knocked on the door outside and told him that the time was almost the same, and it was time to go.
At five o'clock, the capital has already begun to get stuck in traffic, and if you don't start earlier, you will probably be stuck in traffic jams.
Xia Ruofei casually picked up a bag of tea that he had prepared after getting up and walked out of the room.
This is a souvenir he prepared for Gao Jun, after all, it is always a bit bad for people to invite guests to dinner, and it is always a bit bad to come to the door empty-handed. This bag of tea is naturally Taoyuan Da Hong Pao, but it is not a mass sales version sold in Taoyuan's official flagship store, but is produced by the tea trees in the Lingtu space and fried by Xia Qing himself, and the quality is naturally much better than the Da Hong Pao sold on the market.
Purely from the taste, the space Da Hong Pao is not even inferior to the famous mother tree Da Hong Pao, although the tea leaves in the space are propagated by the cuttings of the branches of the mother tree Da Hong Pao, which belongs to the second generation of tea trees, but due to the unique environment of the Lingtu space, the aura is very strong, so the tea trees in the space are actually better than the mother tree Da Hong Pao of Jiulong Cave.
It's just that the value of tea can never be judged solely by taste, and the five mother trees Da Hong Pao are the originators of all Da Hong Pao, and there is a history of precipitation, these are where the intangible value lies.
But in any case, this gift is definitely not light, and it is also impossible to buy it with money.
As soon as Xia Ruofei went out, he saw Qin Yanan and He Yu both standing outside.
Qin Yanan said: "Mr. Xia, the car is ready. ”
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
When he came to the backyard, Wu Qiang had already started the Land Rover and waited, He Yu sat in the passenger seat, Xia Ruofei and Qin Yanan naturally sat in the back seat.
This also made Xia Ruofei firm in the idea of buying an MPV as soon as possible, this Land Rover is good for home, but if it is some business activities, it is not very applicable.
Wu Qiang calmly drove the car on the road that had gradually become congested, while Xia Ruofei leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
There are indeed a lot of cars in the capital, and with the peak of traffic after work, the congestion on the road is getting more and more serious, from the courtyard of Liuhai Hutong to the private food of the palace, the distance is not too far, but it was not until about 6:20 that the car finally arrived, and it took an hour on the road.
Xia Ruofei waited in the car for Wu Qiang to park the car, and then took Qin Yanan and He Yu to get out of the car together, and he beckoned Wu Qiang to come over with him - he came out early today, and Wu Qiang didn't have dinner.
"Mr. Xia, I'll just eat a little outside. Wu Qiang said as he walked.
"Let's come over together!" Xia Ruofei said, "The other party must have arranged the driver's meal in advance." ”
Xia Ruofei knew that Wu Qiang was not good at words, and he didn't like that kind of social occasion very much, so he didn't plan to let him go to the banquet with him.
After Wu Qiang listened to Xia Ruofei's words, he didn't say anything more, and quickly followed.
Walking into the Guangliang gate of the palace's private cuisine, bypassing the antique shadow wall, Xia Ruofei was about to find a welcome guest to ask the location of Yaqing's box, and was surprised to find that Gao Jun was already waiting here in advance.
Standing side by side with him were Hou Liang and two women who looked very capable.
The private restaurant is not like a hotel, there is also a lobby, in fact, there is a hall across a patio, Hou Liang, Gao Jun and others are standing there waiting. Seeing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Gao Jun and his entourage naturally saw Xia Ruofei and the others at a glance, and they also hurried to greet them.
"Mr. Xia!"
"Brother Xia!"
The two greeted each other at the same time.
Xia Ruofei took two steps and said, "I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, I've been waiting for a long time......"
"We just arrived a while. Gao Jun smiled, his eyes showed a hint of excitement and gratitude, obviously Hou Liang's arrival was a big surprise for him.
Qin Yanan and He Yu also came forward to say hello, and the two of them and the two women beside Gao Jun should also know each other, and they quickly greeted each other with a smile.
Gao Jun introduced: "Mr. Xia, this is Huang Yajuan, the chief director of this season of "Longing for Life", and next to this is her executive director Luo Xue. ”
Xia Ruofei felt that these two ladies also looked a little familiar, and they thought that they had met in the program group.
The recording of the "Longing for Life" program is different from the filming of movies and TV series, and even different from ordinary reality shows, the staff work as much as possible without disturbing the natural play of the guests, and they basically do not reshoot after shouting, because there is no NG situation in this kind of program, that is, the whole process is recorded truthfully, and then edited in post-production, so the director's sense of presence in the filming process of the program is not so strong, and Xia Ruofei just feels that the two are a little familiar.
In fact, what he saw was more of the on-site director and cameraman, Huang Yajuan and Luo Xue were in the annex building most of the time, and they would not stare at the recording site all the time.
That's why they can still come out to socialize today.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "It turned out to be a heroine under Gao Tai! Director Huang! Director Luo! Fortunately, I will be lucky!"
Huang Yajuan hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, just call me Xiao Huang by Mr. Xia!"
Hou Liang also came up to say hello with a smile, and Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Monkey, it's quite early!"
"Brother Xia, you call, how dare I be late!" Hou Liang said with a smile, "Although it is a high platform to do the east today, I will have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha in a while, and I will pay you a few cups!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, "It's okay today, everyone drink a little!By the way, Xiao Rui hasn't arrived yet?"
"Brother Rui will also come?" asked Hou Liang with some surprise.
Obviously, Song Rui and Li Xiaosi haven't arrived yet, otherwise Hou Liang wouldn't have asked that.
"I know that this kid is unreliable!" Xia Ruofei scolded with a smile and said, "Let's not wait for him, let's go to the box first!"
Gao Jun on the side was already thinking in his heart, and even Hou Liang had to call him brother, which showed that the identity of this friend invited by Xia Ruofei was also very unusual, although he and Song Rui were also fortunate to have a meal together, but they were not familiar with it, and naturally they couldn't guess that the person who was going to the banquet was Song Rui from the words of the two.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Gao Jun hurriedly said, "Mr. Xia, why don't you ...... You go to the box and rest for a while, and I'll wait here?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! Gaotai, let's go to the box and sit for a while, or start the meal first! That guy has always been unreliable, who knows if he will release my pigeon!"
Gao Jun was a little embarrassed, for fear of offending that "Brother Rui", so he couldn't help but turn his attention to Hou Liang for help.
Hou Liang smiled and said, "Gaotai, just listen to Brother Xia!"
Hou Liang knew the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Song Rui, and this kind of thing was naturally based on Xia Ruofei's opinion.
"Okay! Okay!" Gao Jun hurriedly said when he heard this, "Mr. Xia, Hou Shao, Assistant Qin, Assistant He, a few people here, please!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, Gao Tai, my pilot hasn't eaten dinner yet, please arrange something for him to eat!"
"Okay!" Gao Jun hurriedly responded, and then said to Luo Xue, "Xiao Luo, you go and arrange it immediately!"
"Okay Gaotai!" Luo Xue hurriedly responded, then smiled at Wu Qiang and said, "Master, come with me!"
Xia Ruofei nodded at Wu Qiang and asked him to go with Luo Xue. Then he took Qin Yanan, He Yu, and Gao Jun and others through the hall, and went to the next courtyard and came to the Yaqing box.
This box is not the largest in the private cuisine of the palace, but the environment is quite elegant.
After entering the box, the group sat down next to the antique coffee table, and the waitress wearing a cheongsam began to make tea for everyone.
There is a faint sound of guzheng music in the ears, and there is a faint sandalwood fragrance in the box, as well as the fragrant tea fragrance, which makes people's mood relax a lot.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly at Qin Yanan, and Qin Yanan immediately took out Xia Ruofei's bag of tea and walked in front of Gao Jun.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Director Gao, this is a little bit of my care, I hope you don't dislike it!"
Gao Jun stood up a little flattered, took the tea in Qin Yanan's hand with both hands, and said, "Mr. Xia, how embarrassing is this? You have helped me so much, why did you give me a gift! It should be our ......"
Xia Ruofei interrupted Gao Jun's words with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "Director Gao, don't say polite words, a little self-produced tea is not a valuable gift, it's just a little care." ”
"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Gao Jun happily took the tea and said, "Taoyuan's big red robe is famous all over the world, and I finally have a good mouth! Thank you, Mr. Xia!"
In fact, as Gao Jun, there is no problem at all if he wants to buy a few catties of Taoyuan Da Hong Pao, not to mention that Xia Ruofei also sponsored a lot of tea to the program team this time, Gao Jun, as the deputy director in charge, it is very easy to taste it himself.
Of course, Gao Jun didn't know that the tea given by Xia Ruofei was sold in batches, which was completely incomparable to Taoyuan Dahongpao.
Everyone sat down to make tea and chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, Xia Ruofei raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already six forty o'clock, and he said, "Director Gao, my friend is already ten minutes late, let's not wait, let's eat first!"
"This ...... Not really, right?" Gao Jun hesitated and said, "Anyway, it's still early, or ...... Wait?"
"Waiting while eating, it's not ruthless. Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I made an appointment with him at half past six, and now the time has long passed." Director Gao, let's tell the waiter to serve the food first! It's okay for our old men, it's not good to starve a few ladies......
Gao Jun set his eyes on Hou Liang, only to see Hou Liang nodding lightly in a small amount, so he didn't think about it so much, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the table first!"
Then, while instructing the waiter to pour wine and serve food, he led Xia Ruofei and the others towards the round table next to him.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the box, and a waitress wearing a cheongsam gently pushed the door open, and then everyone saw Song Rui walking in with a twenty-three or four-year-old young man.
