Chapter 418: Dinner Together

Say. Xiang Nan said angrily.

"I heard that there will be a major reform within the government in the near future, and we need a list of officials to be appointed and dismissed. Shanshan stated her true purpose for coming to Xiangnan.

"You're crazy!" Xiang Nan was startled: "Your hands are too long, don't you, even these people's ideas do you want to fight?

"That's not something you need to worry about, you just have to give me the list. Shanshan said disdainfully.

"The list of official appointments and dismissals has not yet been announced, where do you ask me to find you, I can't find it. Xiang Nan shook his head and rejected Shanshan.

"If it's announced, you'll still need you? Please don't be so naïve, okay? We've been working together for so many years, and no one knows who? Once there is a major personnel appointment or dismissal, your security bureau will definitely receive a list to investigate, with your identity, I'm afraid this list has already been in your hands, right?" Shanshan debunked Xiang Nan on the spot.

"I really haven't received it yet, your information is so well-informed, why don't you find it yourself, I don't even know about this matter, where did you know about it?" Xiang Nan spread his hand, indicating that he had not received any news from this aspect.

"You don't have to worry about it, if you don't receive it now, you'll receive it soon, anyway, you can hand over the list to me as soon as possible. Shanshan stared at Xiang Nan, her eyes full of scrutiny.

In fact, Xiang Nan has known about this matter for a long time, and there will be major changes at the top level recently, the detailed backgrounds of some senior officials who will be promoted and their loyalty to the country, these are all things that need to be investigated by the Security Bureau, and Xiang Nan has already arranged for someone to do this.

However, Shanshan's sudden request for this list clearly shows that she is playing against the idea of these officials who are about to take office, and its purpose is self-evident: the Chen family wants to win over these officials to do things for themselves, but where did they learn about this news? You must know that this kind of thing is generally only known to a few high-level people and their security bureau, and even the officials who are about to take office themselves will not know.

It definitely won't be high-level people, if they, Shanshan wouldn't need to come to herself to ask for a list again, who is appointed and dismissed, those people are clear. It seems that there is a ghost inside the Security Bureau, and someone has been dragged into the water by the Chen family. This matter must be investigated carefully, and the Chen family's power must not be allowed to grow stronger day by day. Xiang Nan secretly made up his mind.

"Okay, I see, I'll ask when I have time. Xiang Nan nodded, indicating that he agreed to do it.

"It's not free, it's about hurrying. Shanshan urged.

"Okay, got it. Xiang Nan said impatiently.

Shanshan glanced at Xiang Nan, wanted to say something but held back, and walked towards the door, but when she reached the door, she turned around and said to Xiang Nan: "I want to have a meal with you in the evening, just the two of us, I want to talk to you." ”

Xiang Nan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Shanshan's face full of longing, he nodded helplessly: "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

Shanshan smiled and ran out.

A place is indeed a good place, although this manor is not as big as the Murong family's manor, but the structure and environment inside are no worse than the Murong family.

When night fell, in the dining room in the west corner of the manor, the dining table that was originally more than ten meters long had been replaced and replaced with an ordinary dining table, only more than one meter long, covered with a white tablecloth, and some hot flowers on the four sides.

In the middle of the table was a silver candlestick with three candles on it, and the flame was dancing at the moment, around which plates of dishes and a bottle of red wine were clapped.

Two chairs were placed facing each other, and two people sat on them, Xiang Nan and Shanshan, each with a goblet in front of them, which was crystal clear in the light of candlelight. Because Shanshan is relatively short, the chair she sits on is deliberately raised to make it easier for her to pick up vegetables.

"These are the dishes you like to eat, and I specifically asked the kitchen to make them. Shanshan propped her hands on the table, looked at Xiang Nan and said.

"It's rare that you remember what I like to eat. Xiang Nan shook his head, not knowing if he was thanking Shanshan or teasing her.

"Of course, you told me when we first met that you liked to eat these things, and I remember them all. Shanshan said with a smile on her face. Two people sit facing each other, neither of them moving their chopsticks, just sitting.

"We haven't sat down to eat together in years, have we?" Shanshan suddenly jumped down from her chair, walked to the side of the table, and stood on tiptoe to take the bottle of red wine next to the candlestick.

The people in the restaurant had already received orders in advance, and they all left, so now there were only two of them here, and they had to do whatever they wanted to do by themselves.

Shanshan squatted on the ground, opened the bottle of red wine with some effort with a wine driver, then stood up again, walked to Xiang Nan's side with the wine bottle, and snorted at him.

Xiang Nan took down the wine glass in front of him, bent down and held it low, Shanshan held the wine bottle, and filled half a glass of wine in his wine glass.

After pouring the wine for Xiangnan, Shanshan returned to her place, first putting the red wine on the table, and then with some difficulty climbed into her chair, picked up the wine bottle and began to pour herself wine.

Although it is a very simple thing, Shanshan has done it very carefully.

"Shall we have a drink?" Shanshan raised her glass and raised it forward.

Xiang Nan sighed and raised his glass. The red wine in the glass reflected the candlelight, and it looked so crimson, as if it were blood.

"Cheers. Shanshan said softly, then brought the glass back, took a shallow sip, and put it back on the table.

"We've known each other for almost a decade, and this is the second time we've sat down to eat together. I think I'm having a good day. Shanshan said and took another sip of her glass.

"yes, if I had been able to hold on a little longer, we wouldn't be sitting together for this meal today. Xiang Nan shook his head and sighed, and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"I deliberately created such a romantic atmosphere, don't say these bad words. Shanshan said with some reproach.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. He waved his hand to the south, leaned back, and leaned back in his chair.

Shanshan thought about it, jumped out of her chair again, and walked towards Xiangnan with the wine bottle.

"Alright, I'll do it myself. Xiang Nan took the wine bottle from Shanshan's hand, poured himself a glass, and then put the wine bottle in front of him, it was too hard to let Shanshan pour a glass of wine, it felt like she was going over a mountain.

Shanshan shook her shoulders and returned to her place, she didn't eat either, just sat there staring at the south.

Xiang Nan knew that Shanshan was looking at him, and he didn't feel anything uncomfortable, so he just sat and let Shanshan watch, and took a sip from time to time with a wine glass.

Neither of them spoke, they were silent thinking about their own thoughts.

"It's been almost ten years, and you still haven't changed much. Shanshan said.

"Hehe, why hasn't it changed, he has become an old man, half of his body has bought loess, people, it's really not good to be old, and now he has a sore back every once in a while, and he has a problem. Xiang Nan shook his head, as if he felt a lot.

"I didn't find out, I think you are still the same as back then, still so chic, so personable, men should be like you. Xiang Nan said that he was old, but Shanshan was a little unhappy.

"That's just wishful thinking on your part, I know best what I'm doing, and in a few years, I'll have to prepare a cemetery for myself. Xiang Nan said sadly.

"I don't allow you to say that. Shanshan suddenly became excited, as if Xiang Nan's words had stimulated her, her face turned red, and she bit her lip tightly: "You haven't tied the knot with me yet, how can you die?"

"Alas, you give up, it's impossible for you and me, don't be so desperate anymore, torture yourself and me, why bother?" Xiang Nan sighed, full of helplessness.

"That year, when I was eighteen years old, I received orders from my family and came to you. The first time I saw you, it was at a table like this, you had a wine glass in your hand, talking and laughing with the people around you, that demeanor, that charm that radiated from the inside out, to this day I can never forget, like a tattoo, has pierced my heart. I was thinking, that's how my man is, and that's what I still do. Shanshan looked at Xiang Nan, her eyes full of affection.

"Shanshan, I know that your father was no longer there when you were very young, so maybe you transferred this feeling for your father to me, you are a kind of father-love plot, you just like some older men. It's not that I have any affection for me. Xiang Nan helped Shanshan analyze her state of mind.

"But I still like you. Shanshan argued.

"That's because you've been with me for a long time, that's why you feel this way, and if you were a stranger to me, you wouldn't think so. Xiang Nan smiled, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he naturally understood the reason.

Shanshan really didn't speak, she didn't know how to refute Xiang Nan, even though she felt that Xiang Nan was wrong.

"You and I are not the people we should have met together, it was the people of your family who forced us together, saying that they were helping, but in fact they were spying? Speaking of which, Xiang Nan took another sip of the wine in his glass.

Shanshan still didn't speak, maybe she also agreed with Xiang Nan's statement.

"Actually, at first, I didn't understand why your Chen family put a little child by my side, didn't your family even have a nanny, and asked me to take care of you? But it wasn't until I found out your true identity that I was really shocked by you, I really couldn't figure out what kind of elixir you had eaten to rejuvenate and rejuvenate, or did you have the art of rejuvenation, how could you make yourself look like a child?" Xiang Nan shook his head and said incomprehensibly.
