Chapter 102: The Show Begins
After talking to her mother, Chen Pei stood up and said to Zhou Yihong and the others: "Leaders, I have something at home, I have to go back first." I'll get together with you next time I have a chance, I'm not feeling well today, I haven't been drinking, I'll definitely have a few more drinks next time I get together. ”
Zhou Yihong hurriedly asked, "Peipei, did you drive the car?"
Chen Pei shook his head and said, "I didn't drive, I just came in Li's car." Secretary Zhou, sit down, leave me alone, I'll take a taxi and go back. ”
Zhou Yihong stood up and said, "It just so happens that I am also going to have something to do, and I will stop with you, you can take my car and go, and I will also say goodbye!"
As he spoke, he shook hands with Fang Xin and Li Tao, said hello to Su Yetai, Cai Changming and others, and walked out of the box behind Chen Pei.
Chen Pei knew that Zhou Yihong had come from Songshan to accompany him to this meal, and the so-called "meeting important leaders" was probably just a pretext, and she had a very good impression of him, and he had such a deep relationship with Lu Tao, so as soon as she got in the car, she took the initiative to ask: "Secretary Zhou, are you in a hurry to visit the leaders?" If you are not in a hurry, I would like to invite you to my house to sit and have a cup of tea. Now Min Yonggui, the executive vice mayor of Shaxing City, is waiting for me at my house because he came to apologize to me for the conflict between his son and Lu Tao last night.
Zhou Yihong did not hesitate to drive more than 100 kilometers to the banquet tonight, just to get closer to Chen Pei, and when he had the opportunity, he would invite her to take him to her house to play and visit her parents. However, he didn't expect to achieve this goal today, but he didn't expect Chen Pei to take the initiative to invite him to her house for tea at this moment, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The leader didn't say the specific meeting time, and he has other entertainment tonight, it doesn't matter if it's later." I have always wanted to visit Deputy Secretary Chen and your mother at your home, but I am worried that it is too presumptuous, since it is convenient for me to visit your home tonight, and thank you for the invitation. ”
Then, he asked in surprise: "What happened last night when Lu Tao and Vice Mayor Min's son had a conflict? Why did it involve you again?"
Chen Pei briefly recounted what happened last night at the Yaqin Performing Arts Bar and the Furong District Public Security Bureau, Zhou Yihong said: "Pei Pei, although Lu Tao's behavior last night was righteous, he was still too impulsive. In a place like a provincial city where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, we must always be careful and pay attention everywhere, even if it is to do righteous things, we must think twice before acting, and we cannot rely on the courage of blood and spirit, otherwise it is very likely to cause trouble.
"For example, last night's incident, he can go to the woman who sang Peking Opera to fight the grievances, but to pay attention to ways and means, the first choice is to call the police for help, the second choice is to go on stage to persuade the fight, but do not take sides, just use their martial arts to separate the two sides and persuade each other with good words, I believe that those people are not crazy, as long as the method is appropriate, it is possible to avoid the escalation of the conflict. However, Lu Tao chose to provoke the other party and injured several of them with his fists and kicks. If those people weren't jealous of your identity, they would be in the detention center right now—am I right?"
Chen Pei was silent for a moment and said, "Secretary Zhou, there is some truth in your words. But in that case last night, if I were Lu Tao, I would also teach those arrogant gangsters a lesson. I'm not afraid of your jokes: I just like Lu Tao's daring and chivalrous character, those so-called men who hesitate to do anything, and don't have a little courage and courage, are the ones I despise the most. Of course, I know that you are saying these words for Lu Tao's good, to make him more mature and steady, this kind of thinking is also right, I will relay your words to him when I have the opportunity, so that he will not be too impulsive in talking and doing things in the future. ”
Zhou Yihong nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good if you understand, that's what I mean." ”
Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Pei Pei, take the liberty of asking: Do you have a good impression of Lu Tao? To be honest, I think that if Lu Tao can find a beautiful and virtuous, knowledgeable, and capable lady like you, it will be the greatest blessing in his life, and his father will definitely be very happy if Jiuquan has a spirit and knows that his son has married an excellent daughter-in-law like you.
Chen Pei lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and said: "Thank you for your concern and praise, I am not a person who twists and turns, and you are an elder who is very close to Lu Tao, it doesn't hurt to have some things to say to you: I really like Lu Tao very much, as long as he wants, I can marry him at any time." But Lu Tao doesn't seem to have that kind of liking and love for me, and sometimes he deliberately avoids and alienates me. Of course, I also understand him, he once fell in love with a female classmate of mine when he was in college, he was very invested in the feelings, and then the female classmate found another boyfriend, which made him very painful, and he may not have come out of this sad relationship, and he can't tolerate other girls for a while, so I have a three-year contract with him: within three years, I will not find a boyfriend, as long as he has a feeling of liking and love for me, I can marry him at any time. This is my current real relationship with Lu Tao, I hope Secretary Zhou will not laugh at me. ”
Zhou Yihong didn't expect Chen Pei to like Lu Tao so much, and Lu Tao's kid didn't buy it, he was both happy and anxious, and hurriedly comforted her and said: "Pei Pei, I didn't expect you to be so good to Lu Tao, that kid still doesn't appreciate it, he is a typical person who doesn't know happiness in happiness." Don't worry, the next time I'm alone with him, I'll enlighten him well, and if necessary, teach him a lesson, let him know a little bit about what is good and bad, and don't see the forest for the trees. A manly man has to be a little ambitious, and that girl has already abandoned him, and what are you doing hanging on that tree? Why can't you start a new relationship with you? Not to mention that you are such a good woman, and you are so good to him, what is he thinking?"
Chen Pei wanted to persuade him not to talk to Lu Tao about this kind of emotional matter, but after thinking about it, he is Lu Tao's elder and the secretary of the municipal party committee......
At the same time, in the luxurious box of the Crown Hotel, a fierce drinking show officially began.
It turned out that just now because Zhou Yihong was present, Chen Pei didn't drink, Su Yetai, Cai Changming and others were a little restrained and couldn't let go, so toasting and drinking were all one-size-fits-all, and it was not good to give full play to the amount of alcohol and public relations level of Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling, the two golden flowers. As soon as Zhou Yihong and Chen Pei left, Su Yetai and Cai Changming began to become active, winking at Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling incessantly, signaling them to start attacking Fang Xin and Li Tao, the two gods of wealth......
