At ten o'clock in the morning of the same day, Shi Yong secretly made a phone call to Tang Xin, told him the news that Jiang Yiwu was re-opened for investigation, and then whispered in a tone of credit: "Boss Tang, Zhu Xiaolong's criminal detention report, I have already suppressed it." In addition, I also explained to Li Xin, the deputy director of the Guyuan Street Office, and asked him to go through the formalities for Zhu Xiaolong's release on bail pending trial as soon as possible, and he also agreed. It is estimated that it will not take two or three days for Zhu Xiaolong to be released. ”

Tang Xin hurriedly thanked him and asked, "Director Shi, tomorrow at noon Yaoyao's birthday banquet, have you and Director Su chosen the place? ”

"I chose it, and it was in a family kitchen in the 'Waterfront Haoting' community at the west end of Liansheng Street, not far from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. This family kitchen was opened by Director Su's brother-in-law, and it was tastefully decorated, with only three private rooms, and the dishes were more distinctive. By the way, did Sister Liao agree to attend the banquet?"

"In the morning, Yaoyao called me and said that her mother had learned that I had arranged a birthday party for her and happily agreed to attend. Director Shi, I have a word in advance: I will be the host of tomorrow's birthday banquet, and you can't rush to pay for it. Otherwise, Aunt Liao will be unhappy. ”

Shi Yong hurriedly said: "Then how can we do it? You match us and invite Sister Liao out, if you want to break the bank, it will be too unreasonable." I'll pay for tomorrow's luncheon, as long as I don't let Sister Liao know. ”

Tang Xin said with a smile: "Director Shi, you have helped my shop so much, I should also invite you once! Let's not quarrel over this, you should think about what gift to give Yaoyao!"

Shi Yong knew that a meal would not cost much, so he didn't fight with him anymore, and said, "Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate." As for the gift for Yaoyao, Director Su and I have already discussed it, and we will buy it later, and it will definitely satisfy Sister Liao and Yaoyao. ”

As soon as he hung up Shi Yong's phone, Tang Xin's mobile phone rang again, and it was Lu Wuya calling.

"Brother, my gift for Miss Yaoyao is ready, guess what?"

Lu Wuya's tone was very excited, and there was a little bit of pride.

Tang Xin said with a smile: "Director Lu is an elegant person, and the gift to Yaoyao must be very novel and unexpected. ”

Lu Wuya also laughed: "Brother, you are too modest. Let me tell you: Last night I went to Chairman Huang of the Artists Association and asked him to make me a picture of a hibiscus flower overnight, and asked him to write a poem on it. Chairman Huang is the most prestigious master of Chinese painting in our province, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting have high attainments.

It is said that his flower and bird paintings have been sold for 50,000 yuan per square foot in the market, and the price of his calligraphy works is even higher. This painting was made specifically for Miss Yaoyao, and there are words made for her birthday in the inscription, so its value should be higher, and I believe that Sister Liao and Miss Yaoyao will be satisfied. ”

Tang Xin hurriedly asked: "You have such a good relationship with Chairman Huang? As far as I know, Chairman Huang is now gaining prestige, and he usually doesn't paint and write for people, but he paints for Yaoyao's birthday overnight, which is very rare!"

Lu Wuya said with a smile: "Brother, I can't hide it: two years ago, a relative of Chairman Huang who was an official committed something and was investigated and punished by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it happened that I hosted this case. Chairman Huang asked someone to find me and intercede on behalf of his relatives. I have admired Chairman Huang for a long time, so I took due care of his relatives without violating the principles.

"For this reason, Chairman Huang was very grateful to me, and wanted to give me a few paintings and calligraphy works at that time, but I refused. This time, I went to him for Miss Yaoyao's birthday present, and he agreed without saying a word. After all, it's just a kind of human relationship!"

At eleven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lu Wuya drove to the West Street entrance of Antique Street in person according to Tang Xin's plan, picked up Tang Xin in the car, and then went to the family courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to pick up Liao Meiru and Xia Lin's mother and daughter.

"Brother Tang, will I be unhappy when Sister Liao knows my identity?"

Halfway through the car, Lu Wuya asked a little apprehensively.

"No, it won't. In the morning, I heard Yaoyao say that in order to test my mother's reaction, she deliberately revealed your identities a little, saying that several middle-level leaders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Public Security Bureau would attend the banquet at noon, and said that they were all my friends. Her mother didn't say anything when she heard this, so it can be seen that she has no objection to meeting you. ”

Tang Xin comforted him.

Lu Wuya was still a little uneasy, and asked, "Brother, why do you think Senior Sister Liao didn't refuse us?" As far as I know, Secretary Xia is most disgusted by his subordinates approaching him through his family. Sister Liao also did a good job in this regard, when Secretary Xia was the director of the Public Security Bureau, she never made friends with Secretary Xia's subordinates, and never attended their banquets or accepted gifts from them. How could she be unconventional this time?"

Tang Xin thought for a while and said, "This is probably Aiwu and Wu!" Yaoyao has been abducted for more than ten years, and she has suffered too much and suffered too much outside, so Aunt Liao is extremely distressed, extremely pitiful, and extremely fond of her. Therefore, for the person who attends the daughter's birthday party and sends blessings to her daughter, no matter what the identity of the other person, she will accept and be happy, so you should not worry too much. ”

Lu Wuya heard that he was reasonable, and took a long breath and said, "I hope so! I just hope that it will not be self-defeating!"

As Tang Xin expected, when he introduced Lu Wuya's name and position to Liao Meiru in the car, she did not show any dissatisfied or unhappy expression on her face, but smiled all over her face, took the initiative to reach out from the back seat, shook hands with Lu Wuya in the driver's seat, and said very kindly: "Director Lu, thank you for your hard work." I heard that you are Xiao Tang's best brother, and Xiao Tang is Linlin's sworn brother, so you are Linlin's eldest brother. My family Linlin has suffered a lot since she was a child, except for Xiao Tang, she has no reliable friends, I hope you, the eldest brother, will take more care of her and help her in the future. ”

Liao Meiru knew that since Lu Wuya was Tang Xin's good friend, she must have known Xia Lin's true identity, so she simply stopped hiding it and asked him to take more care of her daughter in the future.

Of course, the so-called asking Lu Wuya to "take care" of Xia Lin is just Liao Meiru's polite words, but in Lu Wuya's ears, it is extremely pleasant and comfortable, and at the same time, there is a feeling of flattery, and he replied with a smile: "Sister Liao, don't worry, I will treat Linlin as my own sister in the future, just like I treat Xiao Tang as my own brother." ”

Speaking of this, he sensed that the time had come, so he took out the hibiscus flower painting from under the seat of the car, handed it to Charlene, and said, "Sister Linlin, I wish you a happy birthday and a happy day." This is a painting I asked for from Chairman Huang of the Artists Association, which was made specifically to celebrate your birthday, and it is a hibiscus flower. According to Chairman Huang, the hibiscus flower represents purity, beauty, wealth and auspiciousness, and I think it can be used as a blessing to you, so I asked him to make this painting. ”
