Chapter 370: Everyday Meals (2)

She has always had a crush on Li Xin, but she just doesn't know how to show her heart.

If he invited Li Xin to dinner, it would be difficult to say it, and Li Xin would be even more embarrassed if he couldn't get rid of himself.

But in the name of gratitude, it is different to invite Li Xin to dinner in the name of his parents, first, Li Xin is not easy to shirk, even if Li Xin really can't refuse, he will not lose face too much.

Second, if Li Xin comes, maybe he can shorten the distance between himself and him.

So she asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Xia Xiaona's parents exchanged glances, and her mother said, "I have to ask you, we don't know what he does, how old he is, and what his relationship is with you." ”

Xia Xiaona said, "Is this any different?"

Her mother said, "Of course it's different, if it's an ordinary friend, invite him to eat out, if you want a good friend, invite him to eat at home." ”

Xia Xiaona's face flushed: "It's too troublesome to eat outside, or invite him to eat at home." ”

Xia Xiaona's expression did not escape her mother's eyes, and she said happily: "I'm fine this afternoon, I'll come back early to prepare, you must invite him here." ”

Xia Xiaona said, "Hmm. ”

Xia Xiaona had already made a package ticket in front of her parents, but now that Li Xin had been refusing, she couldn't help but become anxious.

If Xia Xiaona personally invites herself to dinner, it is easy for Li Xin to choose whether to go or not, but this is Xia Xiaona's parents inviting herself, Li Xin is not easy to agree, and she does not dare to refuse easily.

Looking at Xia Xiaona's anxious expression, Li Xin knew that it was not okay not to go, so she said: "Okay, but it's disrespectful, I'll promise you, but you tell your parents, don't make it too rich, just eat it at home, you know I can eat anything, otherwise I'll be embarrassed." ”

Seeing that Li Xin agreed, the gloom on Xia Xiaona's face was swept away, and she said happily: "It's a common meal, if you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can go to the restaurant to eat, and my family can't make it." You can't go back on your promise!"

"Okay, don't regret it. So how do you get there?"

"Why don't I take you in your car after work?"

"That's the best, or I won't even know how to knock on your door. Li Xin said with a smile.

"By the way, you taught me how to drive. Xia Xiaona said happily.

"It's not so easy to teach how to drive, you have to have qualifications. Besides, how can this be learned in a while?"

"I know, I've signed up for a driving school and I'll be learning to drive in a few days. I just want you to give me guidance in advance, and you really think I'll be able to drive if you give me directions?"

"That's pretty much it. ”

"What kind of car do you think I should buy, automatic or manual?"

"Of course, it's convenient for automatic transmission, like your automatic motorcycle, just hit the throttle and go. There is such a traffic jam in the city, if you buy a manual transmission car, one foot of the accelerator, one foot of the brake, and one foot of the clutch, you are not tired. ”

"That's just as well. I won't tell you, I still have something to do in my office, and I'll take your car downstairs after work in the afternoon. Xia Xiaona went downstairs after speaking.

Jin Changxing circled around his office like a trapped beast in a cage, and Li Xin's judgment of the copper price was like pressing a big stone in his heart.

If someone else said this, he could ignore it, and Li Xin's words didn't dare to be taken as a deaf ear now.

If the price of copper does not rise, now all the problems will not be solved, and another way must be found!

But it's not easy to find another way, he has thought through his head in the past few months and hasn't come up with a clue.

Just now I only asked Li Xin what he thought about the copper price, because he was extremely disappointed with the result, so he didn't say anything and went back to his office, he was afraid that he would be extremely disappointed that he would lose his temper in front of Li Xin, and let this young man who was not eye-catching at all see the joke.

Now he really wanted to ask Li Xin what good solution he had to do about the group's current predicament, but after this idea came out, he vetoed it himself.

It is normal to ask Li Xin just now what he thinks about the price, but it would be a bit inappropriate to ask Li Xin how to solve the current dilemma. It's almost the same to talk about such a question privately with Xue Chenzhi, the vice chairman, but it would be a loss of identity to talk about such a topic with Li Xin.

He will not mention this kind of question to Huang Hongliang and Zheng Guorui, in his eyes, it is okay to ask these two people some specific questions, but they are not qualified to discuss this kind of major matter with themselves.

And Li Xin is a little different, he is almost an alternative.

Jin Changxing now has to admit Li Xin's

The vision is indeed good, but this person's position is too low, and he personally kicked him out of the executive meeting, and now discussing these topics with him will damage his image if it spreads.

Thinking of the executive meeting, Jin Changxing's eyes lit up: yes, when needed, you can quietly ask the secretary Yu Hong to inform Li Xin to attend the meeting again, and say that he needs to know some of his statistics at the meeting.

As long as he sits in the room, it is natural for him to express his opinion on the topics discussed in the meeting. Just like some topics that are inconvenient to discuss separately with Huang Hongliang and others, when discussing at a meeting, you can easily get the answers you want from them as long as you glance at them with an inquiring gaze.

It doesn't even require a big deal to reinstate Li Xin from a management meeting, because it's a bit of a slap in the face.

Now these executives under him look at themselves a little wrong, if Li Xin, who has personally degraded himself, mentions it again, these executives don't know what they will think. No, this kind of thing that will make others want to destroy their own prestige must not be done!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xin drove Xia Xiaona downstairs to her house. After parking the car, Li Xin opened the trunk and took out two bottles of wine and a box of fruit.

"What are you doing?" asked Xia Xiaona.

"I can't come to your house for dinner empty-handed, even if it's a little heart. ”

"You're really, I'll just say a word, you went shopping anyway. ”

When Xia Xiaona invited Li Xin at noon, she was worried that Li Xin would go shopping, and originally wanted to remind Li Xin that she didn't need to bring anything, just go empty-handed.

But she was afraid that Li Xin didn't think about it in this way, and she talked so much, but it was self-defeating, and it became a hint to remind Li Xin to buy something. In that way, she couldn't speak clearly, so the words came to her lips, and she couldn't help but say it. It's good now, Li Xin still went shopping.

"When did you buy it?"

"I went downstairs to the supermarket to buy it when I went to work in the afternoon. ”

"Are you going to invite us, or are we inviting you?"

Li Xin smiled: "This is as it should be, you lead the way in front, hehe." ”

After going upstairs, Xia Xiaona opened the door and said to her mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, "Mom, I'm back." ”

As soon as Xia Xiaona's mother heard that her daughter was back, and knew that the guest she had invited had also arrived, she quickly put down her work and walked to the kitchen door with curiosity, wanting to see what this mysterious figure looked like.

Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, looking at the look on her daughter's face at noon today, she knew that this guest was a man, and his status in her daughter's heart was not ordinary.

This made her happy but also worried. Happily, these signs seem to imply that the daughter has a crush on someone.

The daughter who is excellent in character and learning has not been said in the boudoir until now, and she has not even dated a formal boyfriend.

In the past, there were many boys who liked their daughters, but their daughters didn't look down on them, which made mothers feel a little anxious.

Today, my daughter is unprecedentedly willing to bring a boy back for dinner, which makes the mother full of expectations.

The worry is that the parents don't know what the situation of this person is, and the daughter seems to have a good impression of him.

In fact, at noon, she wanted to ask her daughter what her surname was, how old she was, and what she was doing in the unit.

Now she can't understand the girl's concept of love, and she is afraid that her daughter will find a boyfriend who she can't accept.

But she was worried that her daughter would be unhappy, so she didn't ask. She thought: instead of making her daughter unhappy now, it is better to wait until the evening when she brings people back, and then everything will be clear.

In this way, tonight's meal is of great significance, if this person is reliable, then support the daughter, if this person is not reliable, quickly persuade the daughter, so as not to regret it in the future.

So, this worry had been haunting her all afternoon, and now, when she heard that her daughter had returned, she hurried to the door, and looked over her beloved daughter, eager to see what kind of person she had brought back.

When she saw the person behind her daughter clearly, the worry in her heart instantly dissipated, her curious gaze softened, and the polite smile on her face that was ready to greet the visitor immediately turned into a smile from the heart.

"Mom, this is my colleague Li Xin. Her daughter told her.

"Hello, Auntie. Li Xin smiled and nodded to Xia Xiaona's mother.

"Hello, hello!" Xia Xiaona's mother said with a smile, and then she said to Xia Xiaona, "Nana, hurry up and bring the guests into the house to sit." ”

Xia Xiaona took Li Xin to the living room, and her mother followed in and said, "Nana, peel apples for the guests to eat, Xiao Li, you sit and chat, there are still dishes cooking on the stove, I'll take a look." ”

Xia Xiaona asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"

"It should be on the way back, that is, it will be home in more than ten minutes, and then we will have dinner. ”

Xia Xiaona beckoned Li Xin and said, "Sit down, do you drink tea or boiled water?"

Before Li Xin could speak, Xia Xiaona's mother complained to Xia Xiaona: "You kid, how can you let the guests drink boiled water? ”

Li Xin hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I don't drink tea, just plain water." With that, he put the wine and fruit he had brought on the coffee table.

Xia Xiaona's mother saw it and said, "Xiao Li, what are you doing here? Come and bring a gift for dinner!"

Li Xin smiled: "This is as it should be. ”
