By the time the meal was half past seven, Li Rui and Shao Yugang had already eaten and drunk well. Shao Yugang gave Mao Wei a look, Mao Wei understood, took his briefcase from the next seat, turned out a beautifully packaged paper bag from it, and handed it to Shao Yugang.

Shao Yugang received it, squeezed it with both hands, and sent it to Li Rui, and said: "Brother, you take this, declare in advance, this is not a meeting gift, let alone a trivial matter, nor a thank you gift, but just a souvenir left before our Qingyang Beijing Office is about to disperse, give it to you as a souvenir." I have presided over our Qingyang Beijing Office for these years, I have no big ability, and there are still small achievements in income generation, these souvenirs are all purchased by the Beijing Office with their own profits, and they are not included in the public account, brother, you can rest assured that you can collect it. ”

Li Rui heard him explain so clearly, he couldn't help but want to see what was going on, took the bag, opened it and saw that it was a beautifully packaged black box, and asked, "Director Shao, what is this?"

Shao Yugang said: "I bought a world-famous brand belt from Hong Kong, and the reason why I bought it from Hong Kong is because the price of this brand is relatively cheap in Hong Kong, and if you buy it in China, it will be more than twice as expensive." ”

Li Rui laughed after hearing this, can a brand-name belt also be used as a souvenir? I'm afraid this Director Shao didn't tell the truth, or secretly changed the concept, right?

Shao Yugang seemed to guess his thoughts and explained: "Our Beijing Office has to meet with the leading cadres of ministries and commissions almost every month, and every time we meet, we either cultivate feelings or beg them to do things, so we must prepare gifts. In the first few years after the establishment of the Beijing Office, the social atmosphere in the capital was still relatively simple, and if we sent some local specialties from Qingyang, the other party would be happy to laugh at them; later, with the development of the economy and the improvement of the living consumption level in the capital, it would not be of the highest grade to send local specialties, so they began to send famous cigarettes and wine; later, when the tobacco, wine, and tea were not of sufficient grade, they sent jade and antique calligraphy and paintings; and now, it has become popular to send luxury brand daily necessities, such as watches, wallets, and so on. We tend to buy one batch at a time and hoard it in the warehouse to give gifts. At present, the Beijing Office is about to be abolished, but there are still a lot of gifts in the warehouse, hehe......"

Mao Wei interjected: "Actually, there are not many left, this Burberry leather belt is the most high-grade among them." After speaking, he said to Li Rui: "When we choose a brand, we generally choose an international brand but a low-key type, so as not to cause criticism when officials wear it." ”

Li Rui understood what he meant, and told himself for Shao Yugang that the gift he gave himself today was the most valuable gift that the Beijing Office took out, which reflected Shao Yugang's importance to himself, and knew that he had to accept this belt, otherwise he would slap Shao Yugang in the face, and people had already explained it very clearly, this was bought by the Beijing Office with the money earned from business, whether it was the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Municipal Audit Bureau, or the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, they couldn't say anything, so they smiled and said: "Then I will thank Director Shao for his kindness and accept it with a bare face." ”

After he finished speaking, he thought that this belt was just given to his brother Xu Da, and it was not in vain to call him a brother.

After the banquet, the three shook hands and said goodbye on the side of the road outside the nameless house. After Li Ruimu saw Shao Yugang's master and servant leave in the car, he called Zhuang Haixia and made an appointment with her to meet her.

"I'm with my mother, I'll go to the SPA later, it may be late, you can find An Ying for a while......"

After the phone was connected, Zhuang Haixia's deliberately lowered voice sounded on the other end, and it seemed that she was beside her mother.

Li Rui didn't mind this at all, and said: "Okay, then you are busy first, and then you will talk about ......it when you are busy" I wanted to say, "I won't go to An Ying", but I was afraid that she would think too much, so I didn't say anything and hung up the phone.

He walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi, planning to go to the hospital to accompany Song Chaoyang and his wife for a while, and when Zhuang Haixia was liberated, he would go to find her, but he hadn't called a taxi yet, and his mobile phone was calling, and he took it out and looked at it, it was An Ying calling, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that Zhuang Haixia told her and asked her to stay with her for a while?

"Hey, Haixia is not free now, let me accompany you first, where are you?"

An Ying's voice is soft and beautiful, which is very comfortable to listen to.

Although Li Rui didn't want to trouble her, seeing that she took the initiative to call, it was not easy to refuse, and said honestly: "I'm in Xizhimen, where are you?" An Ying smiled: "It's not far, in this way, you take a taxi to the east, I'll go west to catch up with you, let's meet at the Gulou subway entrance, and then go to the old alley inside, if you want to drink, you can go to Houhai to drink, how about it?" Li Rui said: "Okay, I'll see you later." ”

The two hung up the phone and rushed to the drum tower. Ten minutes later, the two met at the entrance of the Gulou Street subway station.

An Ying tonight is dressed very simply, with a black sweetheart neck camisole on the upper body, a short pair of denim hot pants underneath, two snow-white slender thighs are undisguised and exposed, emitting a crystal light under the reflection of the night and lights, which makes people not want to divert their eyes when they see it. The street is full of people, and almost every man who passes by will have their eyes lingering on her.

Li Rui stood with her, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. The two exchanged two words and walked side by side to the bell and drum tower in the depths.

"Last time you called me a little man in a text message, what did that mean? Aren't you older than me?"

Li Rui and An Ying have a very close relationship, but they are still haunted by what she called last time, and when they met again this time, they asked.

An Yingwan didn't answer, just walked forward lazily, stepping on the ground with high heels, making a rhythmic tapping sound, which made people's hearts itch after listening.

Li Rui chased after her and asked, "Say, I really want to know." An Ying pursed her lips and laughed, "Even if you are older than me, you are just a little man." Li Rui asked, "Where is it small?" An Ying couldn't help but smile, looked at him with a smile and said, "The way you look now is the performance of a little man." Li Ruiqi said: "What am I like now?" An Ying said: "The atmosphere between the two of us is controlled by me, and you are also led by my nose, naïve and cute like a little man, or a big boy." Li Rui still didn't understand a little, and said: "Compared to a small man, there should be a big man, what should a big man look like?"

An Yingmei's eyes flickered, thought for a moment, and said: "If it's a big man, then he will play with me in the palm of his hand, easily mobilize my emotions, and let me revolve around him instead of the other way around, of course, this is not the most important difference...... Li Rui asked: "What is the most important difference?" An Ying smiled incomprehensibly and said, "You invite me to drink later, and I'll tell you later." Li Rui said: "No problem, I'm not afraid to invite you to drink, I'm afraid that you won't tell me." An Ying looked at him and said, "Actually, you don't have to dwell on this, big men have the cuteness of big men, and small men have the cuteness of small men......"

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and after bypassing the bell and drum tower, they arrived at the bar street near Houhai. An Ying made the decision and chose a dark and secluded bar, and the two walked in and sat in the corner.

"Now can I tell you the answer just now, what is the most important difference between a big man and a small man?"

Li Rui and An Ying clinked glasses, and after each took a sip, Li Rui couldn't wait to ask.

An Ying's gaze withdrew from the orange-yellow wine in the glass, turned to his face, supported her two little arms on the table, moved her upper body to the table, and whispered with a smile: "The most important difference is that when you are with a woman, the little man is passive, while the big man is active. Li Rui said hesitantly: "So your text message is saying that I am not active enough?" An Ying raised her eyebrows and said, "I didn't say that." What it is, you can see for yourself. Actually, you're pretty big sometimes. As he spoke, he elegantly lifted his glass and took a sip of wine with a smile.

Li Rui asked with a smile: "When have I ever been a big man?" An Ying said: "That time in the bar street of the provincial capital, I was blackmailed by Li Qiangwei's little brother, you rescued me, and you behaved like a big man, but as soon as you came to me, you changed back to the appearance of a little man." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh again, his eyes flowed, charming and enchanting, like a vixen who had just changed into a human in the night.

Li Rui smiled awkwardly and took a sip of the cup.

An Ying's beautiful eyes stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What is the relationship between you and Haixia?"

Li Rui didn't want her to ask this question, and he was stunned all of a sudden, his face was a little feverish, he didn't want to tell her the truth, but he didn't want to hide it from her.

Seeing that he didn't answer, An Ying didn't ask, and said in a light tone: "I know that you have a life-saving grace for Haixia, and I also know that Haixia favors you very much, there is gratitude and liking in this favor, of course, there may be more likes, you two are very good friends, but I don't know if your friend relationship involves feelings." If it's just a pure friend, then you and I didn't say this, if you have feelings or relationships between you, then I want to warn you, break off your feelings and relationships with Haixia, and don't hurt her. Of course, you also like Haixia very much, and you will definitely not deliberately hurt her, but you are a married man, she is still an unmarried girl, if you continue to date like this, she will definitely be hurt, even if she doesn't know that she was hurt. ”

When Li Rui heard her say the word "respect", he was still very angry in his heart, and he really wanted to reply to her, "Why do you tell me? What qualifications do you have to sue me?", but when she heard her words, she thought of her relationship with Zhuang Haixia, and thought of Haixia's kindness to herself, and endless shame welled up in her heart, yes, the beauty in front of her was right, if she and Haixia continued to date, she would definitely hurt her.
