Chapter 358: Stealing the limelight
readx; Shi Lei was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be busy refusing first, it's not easy for people to send a trip, and Ming'er probably has to have a special musician come to tune." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI understand what you're worried about, but let's wait for Uncle Zhao to come back and wait for him to decide, do you think it's okay? I don't think he minds if I give you a piano. ”
When Luo Baozhu saw Shi Lei say this, it was not good to refuse again, and she could be regarded as having been watching Shi Lei develop from a seemingly ordinary high school student to the current situation, and she was surprised to hear Zhao Yida express some opinions about Shi Lei at home. These evaluations are basically more pertinent, there is no place to praise Shi Lei too much, but there is no slander caused by dissatisfaction caused by some of Shi Lei's actions, because in Luo Baozhu's impression, Shi Lei has always been a relatively stable child, and he feels that it is indeed better to wait for Zhao Yida to come back and make a decision.
The piano has been placed, and the outer packaging has been removed for those delivery men to take away, Shi Lei smiled and said, "Auntie, try the feeling." ”
Luo Baozhu actually likes this piano very much, she is going through the retirement procedures recently, and there is no need to stay up if there is a vice governor at home. Originally, I also planned to buy a piano after I signed up for a piano class after retirement, and it was good that Zhao Yida didn't receive many gifts, but a piano of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan was still not a matter for their family. So really from the bottom of his heart, Luo Baozhu is not too reluctant to give Shi Lei this gift, but Zhao Yida has always had a family motto and does not allow Luo Baozhu to accept too expensive gifts.
Sitting in front of the piano, Luo Baozhu didn't have any foundation, just pressed the black and white keys at random. The piano makes a crisp and beautiful sound, although it has not been tuned yet, and at this time, even if a master comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to play any good tunes, but it is enough to try the timbre.
Su Doudou learned the piano for a few days when she was a child, but it was limited to the level of playing, Luo Baozhu knew that she would be a little, so she asked Su Doudou to play a tune.
But what serious tune can Su Doudou play? What's more, this piano has not yet been tuned, and many notes have been deviated on the way to move here. But I can barely hear what Su Doudou is playing, and as soon as the song sounds, it makes everyone in the entire hall look at each other, especially a few young people, who are even more familiar with this song.
"How do I play the song of the world-famous robot cat?" Su Doudou finally slapped her hands on the keys like a nervous blow, the piano made a loud buzzing sound, and then she stood up and looked at Shi Lei proudly.
Shi Lei shook his head helplessly: "When did the robot cat become a world famous song?" ”
"......Shh Who stipulates that Mozart and Beethoven must be world famous songs? Is the so-called famous song a famous song, even uncles and aunts are familiar with it, but it is not famous enough? Su Doudou pursed his lips, obviously dissatisfied with Shi Lei's evaluation.
Shi Lei laughed, remembering Fang Xiao's argument, about the famous hooligan, he couldn't help but say: "You are very consistent with Fang Xiao's logic. ”
Su Doudou also knew Fang Xiao's famous line, and she was a surname who didn't care about anything, so she said with a big grin: "Celebrities are originally famous hooligans, and what Fang Xiao said is good." ”
If you say this on an occasion like a bar or café, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of resonance, but although there are not many people in this room, they are all people with status and status, and they can basically be called "celebrities". Seeing that the faces of several "celebrities" in the room showed a little embarrassment, Shi Lei could only shake his head and smile bitterly, he should have sent Su Doudou back to school first just now, and he shouldn't have brought her here.
"Ah, I'm not talking about you, it's all our usual jokes, don't mind uncle and aunt! Otherwise, how about I play you another world-famous song? ”
Su Doudou talked to himself, sat down and played with ten fingers, and as soon as the tune came out, everyone naturally laughed non-stop. This time, the so-called world famous song became "Two Tigers", and it was obvious that Su Doudou was more skilled than the previous robot cat this time, so much so that Luo Baozhu simply shook his head and hummed. After the song ended, everyone naturally laughed, and Shi Lei suddenly discovered that Su Doudou actually had some potential to play treasures, but he really didn't see it before.
Looking for an opportunity, Yao Dan finally dragged Qi Zhongnan to the courtyard, and she had a stomach of questions to ask Qi Zhongnan. It's no wonder that anyone who sees a gift of more than 300,000 yuan from his own family, but the recipient is more interested in a gift of more than 10,000 yuan from another person, will definitely wonder.
"Son, why did you buy such an expensive watch for her? Do you really like her goddaughter? ”
Yao Dan didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, Qi Zhongnan, who was already angry, was about to jump three corpses, and he was even more angry.
"It's not all the kid surnamed Shi who harmed it...... Qi Zhongnan roughly told him how he met Shi Lei, of course he wouldn't say that he took the initiative to jump into the pit he dug himself, but pushed the responsibility on Shi Lei's head as much as possible.
However, Yao Dan has always been fifty years old, and he has grown up in a family with complicated situations since he was a child, and his ability to distinguish between right and wrong will never be like an ordinary person who completely listens to his son's words. On the contrary, I heard a lot of cover-up from Qi Zhongnan's words, and after thinking about it based on experience, I probably understood what was going on.
"Originally, it was nothing to buy a gift of more than 300,000 yuan, their family did not accept it, so we did not lose anything, but it can also express the sincerity of our family a little. It's even better to take it, and our goal is halfway there. But, Zhongnan, how can you be so confused as to get a fake invoice and make such a secret investment in pearls? This is not the person our family contacted in Lingdong, you gave Luo Baozhu this watch, she probably didn't see the value of the watch. You don't think about it, whether it's Zhao Yida or Luo Baozhu, they are all officials who have no background, and they have gradually come up from the grassroots level. I used to wonder why Luo Baozhu didn't say anything about wearing the famous watch you gave her, but she was flattered by Shi Lei's piano of more than 10,000 yuan. Now it seems that your more than 300,000 yuan is really regarded as more than 3,000 yuan. ”
"Isn't this all Shi Lei's trick?" Qi Zhongnan saw that his mother didn't seem to have any intention of helping him speak, which was very great.
Yao Dan sighed: "Zhongnan, I didn't say you, you are older than him, you have much more experience than him, and you are from a big family, how could you be so unsuccessful by him in a few words?" Mom is not helping outsiders to speak, but just telling you that your actions today are really wrong. I don't want the child to catch the wolf, I don't mind if you are so generous, it's just that people don't appreciate it at all, and it's because you don't know how to appreciate it, so you have to reflect on it. As for that Shi Lei, of course I'm also very angry, we have no grievances with him, why does he want to target us like this? Zhongnan, tell me honestly, did you offend him somewhere? You should understand that today is the birthday party held by our family for Luo Baozhu, but Zhao Yida called Shi Lei over, which is enough to show that this child is not simple. Our family of three bears the responsibility of bringing the family closer to the Shenpu department, don't lose the big because of the small! ”
Qi Zhongnan was stunned, he didn't expect that the meaning of Yao Dan's words was to persuade him to calm down. However, how could he swallow this breath?
"It's come to this point, I can't say anything more, this loss is settled for our family today. Look inside, it was Shi Lei's kid who coaxed Luo Baozhu so happily, and your father is also the deputy mayor of Shenpu, so he didn't have much chance to speak on the side. This kid is not simple! How do you want to target him, it's not a problem, I just want you to focus on the overall situation, at least, to figure out what kind of background this Shi Lei is, and whether he is someone you can move at the moment. ”
Qi Zhongnan originally thought that his mother would definitely try her best to get out of this evil breath for herself, but she didn't expect Yao Dan to persuade him to let go, which is something that a person like Qi Zhongnan who values face so seriously can never do.
Soon after returning to the house, Zhao Yida also came back, and it was a lot of greetings, and Zhao Yida didn't say anything about the piano given by Shi Lei, but just said thank you to Shi Lei, complaining about how he not only gave a gift but also gave such a valuable gift, but still accepted it.
When the people from the State Guesthouse brought the wine and food, Qi Zhongnan walked next to Shi Lei and said in a gloomy voice: "Shi Shao is easy to calculate!" More than 10,000 yuan, which is more than my more than 300,000 yuan. ”
Shi Lei glanced at him and continued to pretend to be confused: "What did Brother Zhongnan say?" Didn't I want to steal the limelight from you? ”
"Do you think you're still stealing the limelight?" Qi Zhongnan said hatefully.
Shi Lei's patience is also limited, and it is a little too much to pretend to be confused at this time. So he smiled and said, "This is probably the legendary character problem?" To be honest, I really don't need to please Zhao Yida, but since someone has such a wish, I will do it for him. How good is the atmosphere today? How happy are Uncle Zhao and Aunt Luo? Looking back at your and Xiao Luo's happy wine, but you must invite me to have a drink! ”
"Definitely, definitely! I'm afraid that Shi Shao won't appreciate his face when the time comes. ”
"I have a special preference for wine, and I like to see festive scenes. What kind of wedding, birthday party, celebration party or something, even if others don't invite me, I will want to have fun. Brother Zhongnan loves Xiao Luo so deeply, presumably your wedding will be quite successful, isn't it? ”
Qi Zhongnan opened his lips, and he was about to say something, but Zhao Yida was smiling and beckoning everyone to the table, and he had to give up, seeing Shi Lei pulling Su Doudou, he pulled out the chair with a smile on his face and sat down, and he sat on the main escort seat next to the master's seat with some unfamiliarity, and this position should naturally be sat by Qi Shuming. Qi Shuming, who already knew about the petty grievances between Qi Zhongnan and Shi Lei, was already dissatisfied with Shi Lei, but now when he saw Shi Lei sitting in the position where he should have been sitting, his face became more and more gloomy.
Although Zhao Yida also felt that Shi Lei's move was a little inappropriate, it was inconvenient for him to say anything about Shi Lei, so he had to say loudly: "Hehe, today is a family banquet, we don't pay attention to what seats are not seated, everyone is free to sit, feel free to sit." Vice Mayor Qi, come on, come on, sit next to me, we are going to have a few more drinks today. ”
Pulling Qi Shuming to sit down, Qi Shuming's face only looked a little better, Shi Lei could naturally see everything, and he didn't pay attention to them, just followed his own steps. Originally, he didn't want to make the relationship with Qi Zhongnan's family so stiff, but since Qi Zhongnan had almost torn his face and came to find him alone just now, Shi Lei didn't mind letting the family understand that their so-called celebrities were really no different from famous hooligans in Shi Lei's eyes, not to mention that they were not famous.
The State Guesthouse really gave Shi Lei enough face, not only brought the wine and food, but also left two waiters to be responsible for pouring wine and cloth dishes.
After everyone's wine glasses were full, Qi Shuming coughed lightly and said, "Our family was transferred to the Yangjiang River Delta together this time, and the little dog and the little dog were all left in Jiangdong, thanks to Vice Governor Zhao's many cares." Today, with the birth of my sister-in-law Luo Baozhu, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Vice Governor Zhao's family. Especially the puppy and Fangfang fell in love at first sight, and they will have to move around more in the future. Sister-in-law, Vice Governor Zhao, I'll do it first as a respect. ”
Qi Shuming's rhetoric is still steady, he has been a national cadre for so many years, this set of rhetoric is definitely familiar and can't be more familiar, Zhao Yida and Luo Baozhu hurriedly picked up their cups, Shi Lei kept watching coldly, and didn't respond, just watched them finish drinking the wine in their respective cups.
When he put down the wine glass, Qi Shuming's eyes swept over Shi Lei's face intentionally or unintentionally, probably because he felt that this young man was too ignorant, everyone at this table was holding a glass, and he didn't move at all, what a big shelf!
Shi Lei didn't bother to pay attention to him, but only waited until Luo Baozhu moved his chopsticks to pick up some vegetables before he smiled and said to Su Doudou beside him: "Isn't it okay to eat at noon?" Just right, eat more. What he said made Qi Shuming's family of three very dissatisfied, and he said in his heart, this kid is really here to eat?
It seemed that he could see that something was wrong, Zhao Yida frowned, and said in his heart, could it be that Shi Lei and Qi Shuming's family knew each other? What were the festivals of the past?
Without waiting for him to think about it, Shi Lei saw that they had eaten two mouthfuls of food, so he picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Aunt Luo, I wish you a happy life." Uncle Zhao, thank you for your kindness. "There's not much politeness, it's just a drink.
Zhao Yida and Luo Baozhu naturally finished drinking their wine, and Zhao Yida said: "Shishi, today, I called you over, first, because your aunt is living, and secondly, I also want to introduce you to Vice Mayor Qi's family." Although your father is now in Xingong, you are also running a company yourself, and I remember that Shenpu also has a branch, right? In the future, you will have to deal with it, especially when I know that Vice Mayor Qi is in charge of high-tech. You and Zhongnan are of the same age, and you are familiar with Fangfang, can you move around more. ”
In fact, Zhao Yida's words are already a little inappropriate, it was originally a tacit thing that everyone knew and played, but because he saw that there seemed to be some problems between Shi Lei and Qi Shuming's family, Zhao Yida simply made it clear that both sides of the province did not understand each other's background, and if there was a misunderstanding again, it would be really troublesome.
"Oh, Xiaoshi, does your business seem to be doing well, do you also have a branch in Shenpu? What is the main business of the company? Zhao Yida said that it was clear that Qi Shuming would not speak.
"It's just a small fight, it's not worth mentioning, and I don't dare to trouble Vice Mayor Qi." Shi Lei is neither humble nor arrogant, this sentence is also a scene, but it is more or less a bit of a rejection of people thousands of miles away.
Seeing Qi Shuming frowning, Luo Baozhu also noticed something unusual, as a birthday star, she smiled and said: "Shishi, this kid is modest, your company can still be called a little trouble?" I don't know much about this, but I always see your company in the newspapers. This time, I signed such a big order with Unicom, which is enough to do it for a few years, right? ”
Hearing this, Qi Zhongnan was a little unconvinced, he still had a preconceived idea and didn't think deeply, thinking that Shi Lei was just cooperating with Jiangdong Unicom on some project, so he said: "Yes, Shi Shao is still very rich, he spent 300,000 yuan to buy clothes for his girlfriend just now, and the car he drove is also a Ferrari, how can it be said that it is a small fight?" ”
Although Qi Shuming was also very dissatisfied with Shi Lei, whether it was because of Qi Zhongnan's affairs or Shi Lei snatching his place and sitting down, he didn't like Shi Lei's performance. But after all, he is much older than Qi Zhongnan, and he can introduce Zhao Yida to himself so seriously, I'm afraid this Shi Lei is not simple, Luo Baozhu emphasized that he cooperated with Unicom, I'm afraid it's really not a small fight.
Pretending to be very casual, he asked: "Oh, Xiaoshi's company cooperates with Unicom?" That's a lot of promise. Which company is it? I don't know. ”
"Ferrari is mine, it has nothing to do with Shishi, and I am not his girlfriend, his girlfriend is Jiang Fengyue, the chairman of the Luohu branch of Shishi Group." Su Doudou couldn't help it, it seemed that she was very sensitive to Qi Zhongnan saying that she was Shi Lei's girlfriend, and her tone was not very good.
Shi Lei smiled: "Doudou is my very good friend, what she hates the most is that people say that she is my girlfriend, Brother Zhongnan said this, she is a little unhappy, sorry, sorry." ”
"Stone Group? Are you talking about the recent cooperation with China Unicom headquarters, the supplier of the pilot network project in two provinces and one city in the Yangjiang River Delta? Qi Shuming was a little shocked, he had always heard that there was another master behind the stone group, but he never imagined that this person was sitting in front of him now, and he was so young.
Shi Lei smiled: "It's just a toss, it's not enough to worry about." Today is Aunt Luo's life, Aunt Luo is the absolute protagonist, don't put the topic on me anymore, Aunt Luo should be unhappy when she turns around! ”
