After the transfer of money was completed, Lu Tao and Du Xiaoyu rushed to the Furong District Maternal and Child Health Hospital and told Lin Susu that one million yuan had been transferred to the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Qingxi County Public Security Bureau, and Lin Xianzhi would be released immediately. Lin Susu was moved to tears again, and couldn't stop thanking the two of them......

Because Du Xiaoyu had something to do when she wanted to go back to school, Lu Tao said goodbye to her at the entrance of the hospital. Before Du Xiaoyu got into the car, he suddenly turned his head and asked Lu Tao: "Fellow, next time I go back to Taolin, will you invite me to dinner?"

Lu Tao hurriedly smiled: "Of course I want to please, and I want to invite you to a big meal." You are so bold and generous, as soon as you make a move, you borrowed 1 million to Miss Su Su, and left me 100,000 yuan in savings, if I don't invite you to a big meal, I will not be happy in my heart. Hahaha!"

Du Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with joy, and he smiled charmingly at Lu Tao, and said, "You are still a little conscientious. I may go back in the next few days, and you are not allowed to answer your phone when the time comes! Don't worry, I know very well the consumption level of Taolin County, even if I can eat again, I won't be able to kill you a few dollars, don't worry that your purse will deflat. Hahaha!"

After making a few jokes with Du Xiaoyu, Lu Tao's depressed and heavy mood eased a little, and after waving goodbye to Du Xiaoyu, he casually found a restaurant to eat a fast food, and returned to the hotel to make up for sleep, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was an unfamiliar provincial number.

Lu Tao's heart jumped, thinking that Chen Pei had borrowed someone else's mobile phone to call, so he quickly opened the answer button, but heard a low male voice coming from inside: "Are you Lu Tao?"

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"

The other party continued to reply in that low voice: "My name is Yang Zhitang, I am the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and I met last time at the Furong District Public Security Bureau. ”

Only then did Lu Tao know that he was Deputy Secretary Chen's secretary, and hurriedly asked, "Director Yang, do you have something to do with me?"

"You're staying at the Maple Grove Hotel, aren't you?, are you resting in the hotel room?"

"Yes, I'm resting at the Maple Grove Hotel right now. ”

"What's your room number? I'm in the lobby of the hotel right now, and I'm going to talk to you about something in your room. ”

Lu Tao was puzzled, and it was difficult to ask, so he had to tell him the room number, and then quickly got up from the bed, tidied up the futon a little, opened the door and waited for Yang Zhitang to come up.

A few minutes later, Yang Zhitang walked into the room with a bag, greeted Lu Tao very casually, and saw that Lu Tao was about to use the kettle to boil water to make tea, waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, I will go to the chief's meeting later, and I will leave after a few words with you, no need to drink tea." ”

Lu Tao had no choice but to stop, invited him to sit on a chair, and asked, "Director Yang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yang Zhitang asked bluntly: "Do you like Pei Pei very much, do you want to pursue her?"

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What if it's what?

Yang Zhitang smiled and said, "If not, I'll leave right now, and this is the end of our conversation; ”

Lu Tao became more and more puzzled in his heart, so he said: "If I like Pei Pei and am pursuing her, what do you want to tell me?"

Yang Zhitang was silent for a moment and said, "What I want to tell you is: if you like Pei Pei, it's best to keep this kind of liking in your heart, because you will never have a chance to become her boyfriend." ”

Speaking of this, he paid attention to Lu Tao's face, and saw that his expression had not changed, and suddenly asked: "Do you know Zhang Wenqing?" He is your and Pei Pei's senior, and he is also my colleague. ”

When Lu Tao saw that he suddenly mentioned Zhang Wenqing, he suddenly remembered what Wu Manping said on the phone last night, and he only felt his heart skip a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly struck, staring at Yang Zhitang fixedly, nodding and saying, "I know Section Chief Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Anyway, you will know about this sooner or later, so I'll tell you first: Pei Pei has officially established a relationship with Section Chief Zhang, and I am the matchmaker for the two of them. Last night, Pei Pei's mother personally invited Section Chief Zhang to her house for dinner to inspect his character and ability. Pei Pei is a very filial, very obedient, and sensible girl, and seeing that her parents are very satisfied with Section Chief Zhang, they also agreed to have a relationship with him on the spot. ”

Lu Tao heard that Zhang Wenqing went to Chen Pei's house for dinner last night, and suddenly remembered that when she separated from herself yesterday afternoon, she wanted to speak several times, and it is estimated that she knew that Zhang Wenqing was going to her house for dinner at that time, and she must have known that this meal was a blind date, but she didn't tell herself. If she really likes herself, why should she hide such a thing? Moreover, if she didn't deliberately answer her phone last night, why didn't she keep calling back? Could it be that she was really impatient with herself, so she wanted to find a man who was good to her instead?

Yang Zhitang saw the change in the expression on his face, knowing that what he had just said had worked, a subtle smile appeared on his face, and he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xiao Lu, I know you like Pei Pei very much, I came today to tell you: Pei Pei has a boyfriend now, please don't bother her in the future, it's best to cut off contact with her, so as not to affect the relationship between her and Section Chief Zhang and cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, this is also what Pei Pei's parents mean, let me convey it to you." ”

Seeing that Lu Tao was silent, Yang Zhitang frowned, suddenly picked up the bag, took out five stacks of hundred-yuan bills from it, put them on the coffee table, and said to Lu Tao: "Pei Pei knows that your work and life have not been going well recently, and some unpleasant things have happened one after another in the past few days in the provincial capital. However, she also has a sentence for me to convey to you: I hope you will not contact her again in the future, and she will not want to cause gossip because of your affairs!"

Lu Tao originally believed his words a little, but when he saw him take out a 50,000 yuan banknote, saying that it was given to him by Chen Pei, he suddenly woke up: this was probably a scene performed by Chen Pei's mother and Yang Zhitang, the purpose of which was to take the initiative to leave Chen Pei......

So, he gradually calmed down in his heart, stared at the 50,000 yuan bill with contemptuous eyes, and said coldly: "Director Yang, you have overacted acting! You actually don't know Pei Pei at all. Let me tell you something: she may not like me, but she will never insult me by sending money! I will call Pepe right now to verify whether your words are true or false. ”

Then, he picked up the phone and dialed Chen Pei's mobile phone number. However, a sweet voice prompt soon came from inside: "The phone you dialed cannot be connected for the time being, please dial again later!"
