Song Rui took a puff of his cigarette, then smiled and said, "Of course not!"

Xia Ruofei looked at Song Rui quietly, waiting for his next words. Xia Ruofei knew that Song Rui must have something more important to tell him, otherwise there was no need to avoid the people around him.

Song Rui said lightly: "Grandpa wants to see you and talk to you about the old man of the Liu family......

Xia Ruofei was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grandpa Song has decided?"

Song Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know about this...... The people of the Liu family asked to see him many times before, but his old man closed the door to thank the guests. But this time, the Liu family found a lobbyist that grandpa couldn't refuse, and the two talked for more than an hour, and then grandpa ordered you to come to the house to meet him......"

Xia Ruofei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay! I have a good time here, you can decide the specific meeting time!"

Song Rui couldn't help but say: "Ruofei, that lobbyist is the old man of the Gao family, how can you say it...... At the beginning, Grandpa Gao and my grandfather were both in the same unit, and in a tragic battle, my grandfather was seriously injured, and it was Grandpa Gao who desperately carried my grandfather off, otherwise my grandfather would definitely die......! My grandfather owes Grandpa Gao a life, and he personally came to my grandfather, and the old man definitely couldn't avoid it. ”

Xia Ruofei asked with some curiosity: "Is this old man Gao very close to the old man of the Liu family?"

He was indeed a little curious, and he couldn't understand the things between these old-timers - it is said that Old Man Gao and Old Song are life and death friendships on the battlefield, and the Song family and the Liu family are competitors in various fields, and it is unlikely that Old Man Gao will get very close to the Liu family!

Of course, Xia Ruofei is simplifying things.

If he was still a hot-blooded young man back then, this set of value standards might still apply, but now whether it is Old Man Gao, Old Man Liu, or even Old Man Song himself, they all shoulder a huge family, and any decision they make will not even be measured according to their own likes and dislikes.

What's more, the war is decades away from now, and what happened in the past few decades can not be explained in a few simple words?

Song Rui nodded and said: "Grandpa Gao and Old Man Liu have a lifelong friendship, and the two of them also help each other politically and economically, so they can be said to be allies! ”

Xia Ruofei suddenly understood, he nodded and said, "Understood, then you can arrange for me to meet Grandpa Song as soon as possible!"

Song Rui couldn't help but glance at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, you don't have to do what you don't want to do for the sake of your grandfather." Grandpa will never force you, I guess grandpa will not give Grandpa Gao any promises, at most he will promise him to persuade you......"

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about everything after we meet!" You report to Grandpa Song and set the meeting time as soon as possible, I should be in the capital during this time." ”

"Grandpa said that his time can be adjusted temporarily. Song Rui said, "Since you have no problem here, then it will be set for tomorrow morning! I will bring a car to pick you up, you just wait at home!"

"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said as he got up from the chair and said with a smile, "It's been a while since I came out, let's go in!"

Song Rui saw Xia Ruofei's relaxed look, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, if he was in such a situation, even if he had a little confidence, he would always be a little apprehensive! After all, this was facing the pressure of the two behemoth-like families of the Gao family and the Liu family.

Unless Xia Ruofei had already decided to heal the old man of the Liu family, how could he be so calm?

But Song Rui felt that this seemed unlikely, the conflict between the children of the Liu family and Xia Ruofei was not a time, the last time he fought for land in the capital, Liu Haofan of the Liu family had already been on the same page with Xia Ruofei; With Xia Ruofei's character, how could he easily bow his head to the Liu family?

Song Rui thought about his thoughts and returned to the box with Xia Ruofei behind.

When everyone saw Xia Ruofei and Song Rui returning to the house, they hurriedly beckoned them to sit down. Gao Jun and others came to toast the two of them one after another, and the two female directors brought by Gao Jun looked like masters who often mingled in the wine field, with a strong ability to adjust the atmosphere, and the amount of wine was not bad, and the two also came forward to toast Xia Ruofei and Song Rui respectively.

and Li Zhe has recently been bent on being able to take a stake in Taoyuanhui, even if it is to give him a little share, so he is also very attentive to Xia Ruofei and Song Rui.

Li Zhe invested in Taoyuanhui, naturally not to make money, or to be more precise, not just to make money, what he values more is the connections in this circle.

Becoming a shareholder of Taoyuan Club, not only can he share a boat with Song Rui and Zhao Yongjun, but the nature of the club itself also determines that this is a top social occasion.

This is undoubtedly very important to the declining Li family.

Therefore, Li Zhe also spared no effort to curry favor with Xia Ruofei and Song Rui, but the two had already discussed outside that they would not accept new shareholders for the time being, so they accepted all kinds of flattery from Li Zhe, and pretended to be confused about the hints and explicit expressions that he wanted to invest in shares.

Li Zhe's own weight was also a little less meaningful, Song Rui didn't let go, he didn't dare to be impatient at all, he could only sigh secretly in his heart, and then continue to carry forward the spirit of dead skin and face, and continue to get to Song Rui and others in the future.

For Xia Ruofei, this wine is definitely not as enjoyable as with his brothers, not only because everyone at the wine table has their own thoughts, and there is no feeling of simple brothers getting together, but also because there is an important reason, that is, the affairs of the Liu family have more or less affected Xia Ruofei's mood.

Therefore, when it came to nine o'clock, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Everyone, it's not too early, I propose that everyone finish drinking the wine on the table and go back to their respective homes?"

Naturally, no one would refute Xia Ruofei's proposal, Gao Jun hurriedly asked the waiter to pour the rest of the wine together, and then took the initiative to get up and salute again, and everyone divided the rest of the wine, and everyone poured a small half glass.

Gao Jun picked up his glass and said a word of thanks, and then everyone toasted together, and the meal ended.

After the assistant director Luo Xue brought by Gao Jun drank the last glass of wine, he left the box quickly.

When Xia Ruofei and the others walked out of the box and came to the door of the private food in the palace, Luo Xue had already directed the guests' vehicles to wait at the door - she had just come down one step earlier to inform the driver.

Wu Qiang drove Xia Ruofei's Land Rover car in the first place, Gao Jun and others sent Xia Ruofei and the three of them first, it was inconvenient for the car to turn around here, and many people were driving to leave at this point, so Xia Ruofei didn't shirk much, arched his hand with everyone, and got into the car.

Qin Yanan and He Yu also got into the car separately, and the two of them were also toasted a lot tonight, and their faces were flushed, but they looked okay, and their eyes were relatively clear, so they shouldn't have drunk too much.

Xia Ruofei pressed the car window, smiled and waved his hand at Gao Jun and the others, while Qin Yanan motioned for Wu Qiang to drive.

The car started slowly, and Song Rui stood by the window and said, "Ruofei, call tomorrow!"

Xia Ruofei nodded knowingly, and then pressed the window up.

The car drove smoothly all the way, and after driving for about 40 minutes, I returned to the courtyard of Liuhai Hutong.

Xia Ruofei took Qin Yanan and He Yu to the courtyard in the middle, and then stopped and said, "Yanan, He Yu, you have also drunk a lot of bars tonight!

"Okay, chairman!" Qin Yanan and He Yu responded crisply at the same time.

Xia Ruofei said again: "I have something to go out tomorrow, so you don't need to accompany me." You can choose to sleep in, or walk around the capital by yourself. ”

Qin Yanan smiled and said, "Then we will thank the chairman for his compassion!"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "If you go out to play, remember to issue a ticket, the expense company is out! Okay, let's go back to the room to rest......

After Xia Ruofei returned to the house, he simply took a shower, then sat on the bed and practiced the "Great Dao Decision" for a while, and only after finishing the cultivation did he lie down to rest.

The next morning, when Xia Ruofei went to the backyard for breakfast, he saw that Qin Yanan and He Yu had also come to the backyard, and couldn't help but ask jokingly: "Huh, I finally gave you a day off, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Qin Yanan said playfully: "Mr. Xia, you have promised to reimburse our travel expenses, how can we live up to your kindness? Of course, we have to get up early! There are many scenic spots in the capital!"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "That makes sense! Then hurry up and have breakfast! By the way, let Wu Qiang drive with you! I don't need a car today!"

When you go to Song Lao's side, you must have been picked up by a car sent by the Song family, because if ordinary local vehicles want to enter the area where Song Lao lives, they must be subject to strict inspection, which will be too troublesome.

Hearing this, Qin Yanan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xia, no need! No need! We can take a taxi or take the subway! Don't bother Brother Wu!"

Xia Ruofei thought about it, Qin Yanan and the others probably wanted to be freer, where to go, and the subway transportation in the capital is indeed very convenient, as long as they don't go to be a "canned human meat" during the rush hour, the experience is basically good.

So he said, "Okay, I respect your opinion." But you two girls go out, you must pay attention to safety! If there is anything, you can call me or Wu Qiang as soon as possible!"

If Wu Qiang is allowed to follow, there is naturally no need to worry about the safety of the two. But if they traveled by themselves, Xia Ruofei was still a little relieved.

Qin Yanan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia! We will be careful!"

Xia Ruofei nodded, didn't say anything more, sat down and started to eat breakfast.

After eating, Qin Yanan and He Yu said goodbye to Xia Ruofei and went out to take a taxi to the capital by themselves.

Xia Ruofei returned to the courtyard where he lived, and sat at the stone table in the courtyard to make tea, and in the fragrance of tea, Xia Ruofei's mood was also a lot calmer.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Xia Ruofei received a call from Song Rui: "Ruofei, come out! We can get there in about five minutes, on the side of Liuhai Hutong!"

"Okay!" Xia Ruofei replied.

He got up and went back to the house, picked up a bag he had prepared the day before, and walked to the front yard.

The bag contains a high-quality iron maple bucket, which is also produced in the space, made by Xia Qing himself, and the quality is better than the iron maple bucket sold by Taoyuan Company and Tong Ren Tang.

Of course, no matter how high the quality is, it is also an iron-skinned maple bucket, compared to Song Lao's status, this gift is really nothing.

It's just that with the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Song Lao, he doesn't need to go to great lengths to prepare gifts every time, this is just a heart.

Xia Ruofei walked to the front yard, walked to the alley outside the door and waited for two minutes, then saw a black red flag car driving from the side of Deshengmen Inner Street, and he saw Song Rui sitting in the passenger seat at a glance.

The car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Song Rui poked his head out and said, "Ruofei, get in the car!"

The driver had already gotten out of the car, walked quickly to Xia Ruofei's side, and opened the rear door.

Although this driver was wearing a black suit, his short head, straight waist and sharp aura on his body showed that he must be a soldier, and he was also a soldier with quite high military quality.

Xia Ruofei nodded at him slightly, and then got into the car.

The driver returned to the car, and soon, the Hongqi sedan started slowly and drove smoothly towards the exit on the other side of the alley.

Along the way, neither Xia Ruofei nor Song Rui spoke.

Song Rui sat in the passenger seat, looking at his phone absentmindedly, while Xia Ruofei simply leaned back in the soft seat and closed his eyes.

The car traveled for about an hour and came to the quaint house where Song Lao lived.

The Hongqi car drove in directly through the open middle gate and stopped in the first courtyard.

Xia Ruofei didn't wait for the driver to come over and open the door, so he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Xia Ruofei's old acquaintance and Song Lao's personal secretary, Director Lu, stood beside the car with a smile on his face and said to Xia Ruofei: "Comrade Ruofei, the chief has been waiting for a long time. ”

Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly: "Then my sin is great, Grandpa Song has every opportunity, how can he delay so much time for me?"

Director Lu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's not delay any longer, let's hurry up and see the chief!"

"What Director Lu said is true!" Xia Ruofei agreed.

Director Lu stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture and said, "Ruofei, please come here!"

Xia Ruofei looked at Song Rui, who had just gotten out of the car, and saw that he didn't mean to go with him at all, so he nodded and walked towards the courtyard in the middle.
