On the way to the O'Neill Hotel by car, the question marks in Lu Tao's mind popped up one after another: What is the relationship between Du Xiaoyu and Liu Feiyan? Why can she transfer so many luxury cars from the O'Neill Group? Why does Liu Feiyan have to buy her face and personally drive over to pick up her relatives? If all this was arranged by Brother Song, how could Brother Song have such a big face and ability?

However, although he was full of suspicions, because Chen Pei and his uncle Tian Guodong were still sitting in the car, he couldn't ask Du Xiaoyu about them, so he had to hold them in his heart and decided to find a chance to talk to Du Xiaoyu alone after arriving at the hotel......

When the group entered the box booked by Du Xiaoyu, although Tian Guodong and others were well-informed, they were still shocked by the luxury and atmosphere of this box: they saw that this box was the size of a basketball court, and two crystal chandeliers were hanging on the top, illuminating the inside brilliantly. On the wall facing the entrance of the box, there is a huge LED electronic display screen, on which a few lines of words are scrolling: "Warmly welcome Mr. Lu Tao's relatives and friends to O'Neill Seafood City! I wish Mr. Lu's mother a blessed life in the East China Sea! I wish Mr. Lu a happy birthday in advance!"

In the center of the box was a huge round table, about three meters in diameter, almost the size of an ordinary room. In the middle of the round table, there is a rockery, and there is a small stream under the rockery, and the gurgling "stream" flows down from a hole in the middle of the rockery, circles the rockery, flows down from a mouth, and then circulates to the mountain. On both sides of the stream, there are many plastic flowers and trees, which are so realistically made that at first glance, it looks as if there is a small garden full of life in the center of the table......

At this time, the waiter has already started to serve the dishes, and because the table is large, two portions of each dish are served. As the table turned, the dishes on it were revealed one by one: Australian lobster weighing more than a pound, Alaskan king crab steamed golden brown, steamed abalone, steamed tabby, boiled Roche shrimp, salt-and-pepper shrimp, mustard salmon, chilled snails, fried razor clams with ginger and shallots, charcoal-grilled oysters...... There are 20 seafood dishes alone. In addition, there are seven or eight Hunan dishes, all of which are specialties of the O'Neill Hotel......

When they saw this table full of seafood, several of Lu Tao's cousins couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "wow", and even Tian Guodong and a few other people who had seen the world felt that this table of dishes was indeed luxurious and hearty enough, and their good impression of Du Xiaoyu increased a little more......

When everyone was seated, Lu Tao excused himself by saying that he wanted to go to the bar to see the menu, called Du Xiaoyu to a secluded corner outside, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, did you order this table of dishes or did Brother Song order it?"

Du Xiaoyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, I ordered the dish." I'll tell you in the afternoon, I still have a balance of more than 20,000 yuan in my consumption card, which is enough to pay for this table of meals, don't worry. ”

Lu Tao stared at her fixedly, shook his head and said, "Xiaoyu, tonight is my banquet for family and friends, and I can't ask you to pay for it." ”

Du Xiaoyu said angrily: "Brother, you are my boyfriend, your family is my family, your relatives and friends are also my relatives and friends, you treat me the same time, is it necessary to divide it so clearly?"

Lu Tao stared at her, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoyu, tell me the truth: what is your relationship with the Liu family? Why did Liu Feiyan personally drive to pick up my relatives tonight?" As far as I know, in Taolin County, those who can let Liu Feiyan's relatives drive to meet others for dinner, except for the leaders above the level of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, no matter how rich and powerful others are, it is impossible to do it, but not only did you do it, but you also transferred four or five luxury cars from the O'Neill Group to meet my relatives at once, this is definitely not something that Brother Song's face can do, right?"

Du Xiaoyu heard that his tone was a little unkind, and his heart suddenly panicked, hesitated for a while, and suddenly took a step forward, hugged Lu Tao's waist with his hand, and whispered: "Brother, I'll answer your question tomorrow, okay?" Don't worry, by noon tomorrow, you will understand everything. No matter what my relationship with the Liu family is, you must believe one thing: I am sincere to you, I like you, love you, and I definitely don't want to deceive you. If I have deceived you in the past, it is because I love you too much, because I am afraid that you will ignore me and not accept my love...... Brother, no matter what questions you have now, can you bear with it first? Tomorrow is your birthday, and it is also the day of Auntie's birthday feast, so let's happily handle these two happy events first. ”

Lu Tao had vaguely guessed a clue at this time, but he didn't dare to believe his guess, seeing Du Xiaoyu's pitiful look, he couldn't stop begging himself not to get to the bottom of it now, remembering that his mother and relatives were now waiting for him and Du Xiaoyu to go over for dinner, so he didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the box......

At the end of the banquet, Lu Tao came to the bar alone and asked the waiter to calculate the consumption of the box, saying that he had to pay, but the waiter smiled and said, "Sir, your box has already paid for it." ”

Lu Tao knew that Du Xiaoyu had told him in advance, so he had to go back to the box and make up his mind: if it is confirmed that his guess of Du Xiaoyu's identity is correct tomorrow, the money for tonight's banquet must be returned to her......

At around 10 a.m. the next day, Lu Tao received calls from more than 20 colleagues from the Local Taxation Bureau. These colleagues, who usually have a good relationship with him, called him in almost the same tone: first scolding him for not informing them to attend his mother's birthday party, and then saying that they would rush to the O'Neill Hotel for birthday wine at noon!

Lu Tao was a little puzzled at first, and he didn't know how they got the news, until finally Xia Yuze also called and said the same thing, he understood: Xia Bingbing knew about his mother's birthday banquet last night, and it is estimated that he notified Xia Yuze when he went back, and Xia Yuze revealed the news to some colleagues who had a better relationship with him......

Lu Tao's initial idea was to reunite with his family and relatives and celebrate his mother's fiftieth birthday, so he told Du Xiaoyu to arrange a maximum of three tables of banquets, but he didn't expect that the situation has changed now, not only Fu Lei, Xie Benzhu, Cai Changming, Xia Bingbing and other leaders want to come to drink birthday wine, but there are also nearly 30 colleagues in the bureau to participate, in this case, at least six tables can sit down.

At this time, Du Xiaoyu had already rushed to the O'Neill Hotel to arrange the arrangements, and Lu Tao made a call to her, saying that a colleague in the bureau was going to come over for a drink, and it might be necessary to arrange six tables of banquets to sit down, and asked if the hotel had time to prepare?

Du Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Brother, today is your twenty-fifth birthday, so I have prepared twenty-five tables of banquets for you, and your colleagues in the bureau can also sit down." ”
