Li Rui peeked and found that Zhang Zixiao and Huang Xiaonian had no dialogue at first, and they were at peace with each other, but later they didn't know who introduced them, and they started talking, and their mothers were even hotter, and the intimacy seemed to be the future mother-in-law talking about the marriage of their children.

When Li Rui saw this scene, although he knew that Zixiao was devoted to himself, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was also worried that the two families would really join forces and reach a marriage contract, so Zixiao would marry into the Huang family.

Later, Lu Zhouxing toasted to Huang Xinnian's wife, Zhang Zixiao and Huang Xiaonian both got up and let go of them, among which Zhang Zixiao was facing Li Rui who was standing behind Lu Zhouxing, and looked at him many times intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Rui was in front of so many people, not to mention that Qingman and Zixuan were not far away, how could he dare to have any intersection with Zhang Zixiao? Therefore, Yu Guang looked at her bright eyes and ignored her, and just watched her father-in-law toast with a smile.

After Lu Zhouxing toasted the Huang and Zhang families respectively, he briefly looked at the current situation of the marriage career of Huang Xiaonian and Zhang Zixiao, two young talents, and heard that when they were both unmarried, he jokingly proposed that the two of them be in the same place, maybe it can be done.

Huang's wife had a very good first impression of Zhang Zixiao, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also told the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family that they can let the two children talk, and it is better to become friends." ”

Zhang's wife was a little restrained compared to Huang's wife, but she didn't object, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaoxiao, you and Xiao Nian leave a phone call for each other, and you can turn around in many places." ”

Li Rui watched coldly, and saw through the situation of the two provincial leaders' wives from the demeanor of the two provincial leaders:

Although Huang Xinnian is the supreme leader of Shannan, he is old and will retire in less than two years, he has been in charge of Shannan for many years, and he has not made any dazzling political achievements, and it is estimated that there is no one in the DPRK, otherwise there will be no state-level leaders to come to Shannan to stand for him in the past few years, so his final destination is likely to be the chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress or the director of a provincial committee of the National People's Congress, and will not go further. Of course, when he retreats, people will go to the tea and cool, even if he brings a lot of disciples, he will slowly lose power and decline. In other words, the Huang family has shown a decline, so the Huang wife is now acting a little active and actively wants to marry the Zhang family;

And Zhang Gaosong, young is already the governor of Shanbei Province, the ruling courage is great, everywhere, that is, to carry out reform and construction, outstanding and dazzling, last year there was a deputy state-level leader to Shanbei inspection, Shanbei Province in recent years of rapid development affirmation, although this can not be said that Zhang Gaosong has won the recognition and acceptance of the leader, at least shows his upward momentum, later promotion to the provincial secretary or minister of the state is a natural thing. It is precisely because of this that the Zhang family has also gained an upward trend, and it is understandable that Zhang's wife is not very interested in marrying the Huang family.

Of course, if Zhang Zixiao really talks with Huang Xiaonian, Zhang's wife should not stop her. Even if the Huang family will enter a decline, but at the provincial and ministerial level, it is definitely not a family of leisure, and Huang Xiaonian, the second son of the Huang family, has been cultivated early, and has obtained all kinds of huge resources from his father that ordinary people can't dream of, and he is also a big man in the province, Zhang Zixiao marries such an excellent talent, and it is definitely not a loss, and with the care of the Zhang family, Zhang Zixiao's small life will only become more and more prosperous, and future generations will be blessed by it.

Li Rui thought of this, and the ugly image of the eunuch Zhang Zihao suddenly appeared in his mind, and he shook his head secretly, that guy has a serious career and is not good at it, so he has to do evil wholeheartedly, and as a result, he and Liu Annie got dirty, hurt each other, and finally became a thing that is neither male nor female, it is really sad and lamentable, and I thought, the last time I saw Zixiao in the provincial capital, I heard her say that there is a Chinese American postdoc who can perform biometric device reconstruction surgery for Zhang Zihao, and I don't know if Zhang Zihao did this operation later?

After toasting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, after the second elder was seated, Li Rui also returned to Qingman's table and sat down to eat a few bites of food. Qingman reserved a seat for him, on her right, and on her left sat her good sister Zixuan.

"I'll eat two bites first, and then I'll go and salute after eating!"

Just now, Li Rui accompanied Lu Zhouxing to toast with the old couple, which was the etiquette of Lu Zhouxing, and he himself, the son-in-law of Lu Men, had not yet saluted his guests, so he would have to toast again later. Fortunately, there are more female guests today, fewer male guests, and a few people don't drink, so they don't have to drink too much.

The eldest cousin sitting on his right patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and prompted kindly: "Xiao Rui, sit down and eat you with peace of mind, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

Zi Xuan took the opportunity to play tricks, drank all the drinks in the cup, took the empty cup to Li Rui to show it, put it back on the table in front of her, and looked at him provocatively.

Li Rui was amused, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, I'll pour it for you first later, and I'll see how many drinks you can have." ”

After a little cushioning of his stomach, Li Rui left the table, took the wine bottle in his left hand, and the wine glass in his right hand, and went out to toast from table to table.

Respectfully, Li Ruijing came to the table of guests, that is, the table where Zhang Zixiao was sitting.

As soon as he arrived at the table, Li Rui saw Zhang Zixiao's eyes burning over, and he didn't dare to look at her, first according to the dignity of the old and the young, poured tea for Huang Xinnian's lover, and then greeted them one by one in order.

"This is the son-in-law of the Lu family!"

"Yes, what a talent!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

These were the whispers of several female guests opposite, and the words revealed the recognition and respect for Li Rui's son-in-law.

"Hehe, Xiao Rui is really gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and courteous! No wonder our old Huang always praises. ”

This is the praise given by Huang Xinnian's wife, from which it can also be seen that she has a high level of cultural literacy, and the praise idiom comes casually.

Zhang Gaosong's wife refused to lag behind, and praised him: "Yes, Qingman has picked a good husband, how blessed he is." ”

Li Rui didn't say anything when he heard their praise, with a modest smile on his face, but he was very happy in his heart, who doesn't want to listen to something good.

When Huang Xiaonian arrived, Huang Xiaonian got up and said, "Brother Li, don't be polite, I don't drink, I still drive, hehe." Go and greet someone, I'll watch this table for you. ”

Li Ruixin said that he deserved to be the son of Huang Xinnian, no matter what the real person was, at least on the surface, he was warm and friendly, frank and generous, but he was not like the children of official eunuchs like Zhang Zihao and Yu Nan, he had always been arrogant and arrogant, took the teapot, gave him a cup of water, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, sit down, drink some tea if you don't drink." ”

Huang Xiaonian thanked him with a cup and slowly returned to his seat.

Li Rui turned around and aimed at Zhang Zixiao, noticing that there was a drink in her cup, so he put down the wine bottle and teapot and took the drink bottle.

Zhang Zixiao sat up, holding the cup in both hands, looking at his face with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Rui didn't look at her either, said politely, poured her a drink, put down the drink bottle, took back the wine bottle, and left.

Zhang Zixiao saw that he deliberately kept his distance from herself, there was no change in expression on her face, but her beautiful eyes were full of loss, but she was quickly relieved, and after sitting down, she sipped her drink lightly, sipping one after another, as if she was drinking the sweetest honey in the world.

After Li Rui returned to his seat, Zixuan teased him and said, "How is it, how do you feel about the sister of your rival in love?"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by the sister of the rival in love?

Zixuan looked at Qingman and said, "Zhang Zihao." ”

Qingman couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "When was Zhang Zihao his rival in love? I have never given Zhang Zihao a chance, is it okay, what kind of rival is he?"

Zixuan said: "That's pretty much it." surnamed Li, the beauty just now is Zhang Zihao's sister Zhang Zixiao, you know her too, how do you feel about her?"

Li Rui looked at her hatefully, eager to spank her, and said, "What does it feel like? She's the lady, I'm the host, that's all. ”

Li Rui knew that Zixuan knew that he knew Zixiao, but he didn't know the true relationship between himself and Zixiao, the reason why he asked now was mainly to make fun of himself in front of Qingman, not to interrogate and interrogate, so he didn't go to his heart, but he was a little worried in his heart, Yu Nan was still in Qingyang, after he learned the news of Han Shui's arrest, it was naturally impossible for him to continue to cooperate with Han Shui to plot Qingyang's gold mining industry, he would definitely be very unwilling, maybe he would join forces with himself to continue this "great cause" , and if he doesn't agree, he may threaten his relationship with Zixiao, so how should he deal with it?

At the end of the banquet, Li Rui and Lu Zhouxing saw off their guests and friends together.

When Zhang Zixiao was leaving, he gave him a meaningful look.

Li Rui understood that she wanted to find time to meet her by herself, but this trip to the provincial capital had a lot of affairs, and she didn't have time to accompany her at all, so she could only be ashamed of her deep affection.

In the afternoon, Li Rui drove alone to the Provincial Agricultural University and sent the only painting rescued from Wen Moshi to Chi Guohua, the president of the Provincial Agricultural University. Before he left, he had already called Chi Guohua's assistant Kang Chengfu, and only rushed over after getting the news that Chi Guohua was in school.

At this time, Lu Zhouxing and his wife had already gone home to rest, and Qingman was also taken home by Zixuan for a small gathering of sisters, so he ended up alone, but unfortunately he didn't have time to accompany Zhang Zixiao.

Rushed to the bottom of the administrative office building of the Provincial Agricultural University, Li Rui parked the car, got out of the car with a painting, and did not go upstairs first, but called Zhang Zixiao to explain. The reason why I didn't call Zhang Zixiao in the car on the road was because I was afraid that the sound of the call would be recorded by the dashcam in the car.
