Chapter 213: Encounter with Li Yifeng
"Hehehe...... Mr. Zhang said that there were two more guests coming, who did I think? It's you! Li Rui, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I heard that you did a good job in Nanqiao, and you have become the party secretary of Qingshanquan Town......"
As soon as Li Rui entered the door, Lao Zhao, deputy director of the Land Bureau, who was sitting in the main seat facing the door of the private room, greeted him with a smile. When he was in the Planning Commission, because of Luo Xin's relationship, he and Li Rui were also old acquaintances.
Before he finished speaking, Gao Jie followed in, and then Lao Zhao couldn't sit still, and quickly stood up and said, "Yo! Director Gao, you're here too. ”
"What, Zhao Ju is not welcome?" Gao Jie said with a smile.
"Where, where, Director Gao is a guest that my old Zhao can't invite, if it weren't for Mr. Zhang today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this face." Lao Zhao hurriedly walked out to greet him.
"Mr. Zhang?" Gao Jie's eyes fell on Zhang Zhuoyang, who stood up from the guest of honor, she had already learned from Li Rui that the boss of Hong Kong Tengfei Group was Li Rui's cousin, but today was the first time they met. At the age of thirty, his posture is slightly fat, and he has a slight resemblance to Li Rui between his eyebrows.
"Gao Jie, right? I'm Zhang Zhuoyang, and I've heard Li Rui talk about you a long time ago. Zhang Zhuoyang took the initiative to walk up and stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, hello." Gao Jie reached out and shook Zhang Zhuoyang gently.
Li Rui on the side noticed that Director Gao, who presided over the work of the dignified Pengzhou Mining Bureau Office, actually showed a trace of shyness. "It must be a shame to see my mother-in-law!" He couldn't help but think smugly.
"...... you guys?" Lao Zhao was surprised when he saw this scene, he originally thought that Gao Jie was a guest invited by Zhang Zhuoyang.
"I'm here with Li Rui to eat." Gao Jie took a step back and stood beside Li Rui and explained.
"Ju Zhao, you don't know yet. Li Rui is my cousin. Zhang Zhuoyang also introduced with a smile on the side.
"Ao-" How can Lao Zhao no longer see the situation clearly? suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "After doing it for a long time, it turns out that everyone is a family!" Come on, come on. Sit down, sit down, everybody. ”
"Brother Rui. Sister Gao. Xue Feng shouted, and ran over to help Gao Jie pull out the chair.
Li Rui slapped his hand away, "I'm here, what's the matter with you, what's the matter!" ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Rui is right." Xue Feng nodded again and again.
If this had been left in the past, even if he knew Li Rui's identity, Xue Feng would definitely feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach. But now he admires Li Rui so much, and he is full of gratitude. Last time in the good times, not only did he not lose face, but also earned enough face, I heard that Qi Zheng and the horse boy from the capital left Pengcheng the next day, and now Sun Lei's kid saw him and walked around.
He also reported the matter to his old man. Regarding the friendship between his son and the son of the governor of Qi and the son of the Ma family in the capital, Xue Mingtang was very unimpressed. Xue Mingtang's age is about the same, since the last time he lost the competition for the head of the organization, he has long lost the motivation to climb up, and his biggest wish now is to be the secretary of the district party committee for another term, and then go to the people's congress or the CPPCC to retire with peace of mind. The Governor of Qi and the Ma family in the capital were too far away for him. What's more, his backer in the province is not the same as Qi Yingwei. And his son was bullied, as Lao Tzu is always angry in his heart, if he is offended, he is offended, what's the big deal.
However, he was still very pleased that Li Rui was able to act righteously. It shows that the relationship between his son and Li Rui is good. The young man Ma in the capital didn't dare to breathe when he saw Li Rui's atmosphere, what did it mean? It can only show that the Zhang family's power is big enough, and the son can make friends with the children of the Zhang family. In the future, even if he retires, his son will be able to gain a foothold in the business. So he instructed Xue Feng again. must maintain a good relationship with Li Rui and Zhang Zhuoyang.
Where did Lao Zhao know the twists and turns in this, and saw this situation. He was very surprised by Xue Feng's low profile, is this still the original domineering Xue Gongzi? He also thought that it was because of Gao Jie's relationship that Xue Feng could treat Li Rui like this. Thinking of the conflict between Xue Feng, Li Rui and Gao Jie, who was also in this Flower City, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Alas! It's really a trick! ”
Lao Zhao's emotion, except for Zhang Zhuoyang, everyone knew it, Li Rui and Gao Jie couldn't help but smile knowingly, the two glanced at each other, and at the same time saw a trace of sweetness in each other's eyes. Xue Feng looked embarrassed and said, "Bureau Zhao, Uncle Zhao, you can save me some face!" ”
"Hahaha......" Lao Zhao laughed, he was no longer the deputy director who had been reduced to a marginal figure in the Land Bureau, because of the successful introduction of the Tengfei Group and the investment consortium of Huazhongcheng, and the development of the Tengfei Center, he was very appreciated by the executive vice mayor Li Yifeng, and his status in the bureau rose rapidly, and even the number one in the bureau was now polite to him. Moreover, not long ago, when Mayor Li went to the construction site of Tengfei Center and the Land Bureau to investigate, he praised him, which made him out of the limelight, and naturally his attitude towards Xue Feng was not as cramped as last time.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zhuoyang asked playfully.
Lao Zhao smiled and didn't answer, Li Rui smiled: "Actually, I should thank Xue Feng, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know Gao Jie, Xue Feng, don't you say?" ”
Xue Feng grabbed his scalp and said embarrassedly: "Brother Rui, don't make fun of me in front of Brother Zhuoyang." ”
"And this? I've never heard you mention it, Xue Feng or your matchmaker with Gao Jie? Zhang Zhuoyang was interested, and he said it generously, which made Gao Jie very embarrassed.
Li Rui told the situation with a smile, and everyone laughed.
"Haha! I said Fengzi, you kid also deserve it, dare to provoke the fourth child of our family? Do you know that the fourth child of our family was invincible in our compound back then, and no one has ever been able to get benefits under his hands. There is no broken arm and broken leg, but it is still light. Zhang Zhuoyang laughed.
If Xue Feng had said this before, he might not believe it, but after seeing Ma Xiaojun's expression in front of Li Rui like a mouse seeing a cat, Xue Feng also nodded again and again: "That's, that's." Brother Rui must have shown mercy at that time. ”
When Gao Jie heard this, he turned his head and whispered to Li Rui: "Are you really so powerful?" ”
Li Rui smiled ambiguously. Leaned close to Gao Jie's ear and whispered: "I'm not powerful, don't you know?" ”
"Dead!" Gao Jie blushed and snorted. Reaching under the table to twist the soft flesh around his waist.
Li Rui hurriedly dodged sideways, and Zhang Zhuoyang, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene: "What are you whispering?" ”
Li Rui smiled: "It's okay, we're just discussing when to invite Xue Feng to have a meal and thank him." ”
"Hahaha......" There was another burst of laughter.
Everyone laughed for a while, Li Rui turned his head to Lao Zhao and said, "Bureau Zhao, I haven't thanked you yet, and you also stood up to help me speak up at that time." ”
"Where, where? My old face isn't worth much! Lao Zhao said with a smile, and he also saw it. Xue Feng was very stammering with the two brothers, and he had less scruples between his words, making fun of Xue Fengdao.
"This ...... Uncle Zhao, wasn't I ignorant at the time, but you can be a big man, don't take it to heart. I'm counting on you to eat in the future! Don't worry, I'll give you two glasses later, and I should make amends. Xue Feng clasped his fists with both hands.
"Hehehe...... As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. I think you're all doing well now! Everyone was harmonious and lively. Lao Zhao nodded with a smile.
"It's so lively!" Zhao Wenlong, the owner of Huazhong City, came in, followed by a waiter, and two bottles of antique clay pots were placed on the tray. At a glance, you can tell that it is Qingyunchun puree blended wine, this kind of wine cannot be bought on the market at all, only Zhao Wenlong is the only one.
Lao Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw it. Hurriedly said: "Okay, you Zhao Wenlong, I came with Luo Xin last time." Didn't you say no, why did Mr. Zhang come today. You took it out. ”
"Hehe, Zhao Ju, you have wronged me, last time it was really gone, otherwise you wouldn't have taken it out? These bottles were just delivered by the distillery two days ago. Otherwise, I still have two bottles in my office, and you can take them with you then? Zhao Wenlong lied because his face did not change and his heart did not beat, in fact, these wines were originally placed in the wine cellar in Huazhong City.
Lao Zhao was very happy when he heard it, and immediately smiled, and said continuously: "Okay, good!" ”
Zhao Wenlong instructed the waiter to open the wine and serve the food, and after sitting down, he said to Li Rui: "I heard that you crashed in the parking lot downstairs just now?" It doesn't matter what the car is, right? ”
"It's okay, I've run into a psychopath!" Li Rui's heart was uncomfortable when he mentioned this, and he had never seen such an unreasonable woman.
"What's going on?" Xue Feng asked curiously.
Li Rui told him about being rear-ended in the parking lot just now and how the woman was unreasonable.
Xue Feng slapped the table with a look of righteous indignation and said, "Damn!" This kind of woman just owes ...... fucking" When he found Gao Jie's gaze shooting sharply, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Sister Gao, I can't help but swear again." But that woman is so annoying, she is so unreasonable! If it were me, I would have to go up and slap her twice, so that she could sober up, what kind of person! ”
Lao Zhao also shook his head and said, "Young people now! can afford to drive, the family conditions must be good, and the parents are doting, so they have developed a hollow-minded temper and have no concept of the legal system, and such a person will suffer sooner or later. ”
Gao Jie lightly opened his lips and said, "I listened to Zhao Ju's evaluation, it seems that I am also talking about Xue Feng, right?" ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Xue Feng's body at the same time, and laughed in unison.
Xue Feng hugged his fists again with a bitter face and said, "Sister Gao, just spare me, I know it's wrong." ”
When the dish was served, the waiter poured the wine full, and Lao Zhao, as the host, stood up with the wine glass and made a toast, "Today we are mainly for Mr. Zhang, come, everyone toast, toast to Mr. Zhang's arrival!" ”
Everyone stood up and toasted each other. At this time, a knocker wearing a foreman's uniform came in, walked to Zhao Wenlong's side and whispered.
"What? Mayor Lee is here. Zhao Wenlong was surprised.
"Yes, it's in Private Room Six." The foreman nodded.
"Yo! Then I'll have to show my face. Everyone, I'm sorry to miss you. ”
Lao Zhao, who had just toasted and hadn't sat down, heard it, and hurriedly said, "Then I have to toast too." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Zhang Zhuoyang, "Mr. Zhang, are you going with you?" ”
"Good! Mayor Li has always been very supportive of our Take-off Center project, and I have long wanted to find an opportunity to visit Mayor Li, and today is the right time. Zhang Zhuoyang happily agreed.
He stood up and set his eyes on Li Rui. smiled and said, "Fourth, since Mayor Li is also here." It's rare to have this opportunity, so you will follow us over to toast the leader? ”
Li Rui looked at Gao Jie. smiled: "Isn't my level a little too low?" ”
Although Lao Zhao felt that Zhang Zhuoyang was a little arrogant, it was already good that he could toast Mayor Li, how could he bring Li Rui, but after thinking about it, Li Rui was still sitting next to Gao Jie, and it was not necessary to become Secretary Gao's son-in-law one day, so he immediately smiled and said: "Li Rui, the opportunity is rare, let's go over together." ”
Then he said to Zhao Wenlong: "Mr. Zhao." There's also an unopened bottle of wine with you, and you'll bring out the other two for me later. "It's rare to have a chance to give Mayor Li a sycophant, and Lao Zhao Yan can let it go.
"Good, good." Zhao Wenlong hurriedly responded.
Asked the waiter to bring the wine, and the group came to the No. 6 private room, and Li Rui, who was walking at the back, had not yet entered the door, when he heard Lao Zhao's exaggerated voice: "Oh, Mayor Li, what a coincidence, it turns out that you are also here today." You're having a family reunion, right? Haha, I am here today to receive Mr. Zhang of Hong Kong Tengfei Group. Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you, this is our Mayor Li; Mayor Lee. This is Zhang Zhuoyang, Mr. Zhang. ”
"Mayor Lee." Zhang Zhuoyang shouted.
"Mr. Zhang, hello! I've heard a name for a long time, and I'm finally able to meet today! Hehehe......"
When Li Rui walked into the private room. Li Yifeng had already come out of his seat, holding Zhang Zhuoyang's hand and greeting him warmly, he quickly looked around in the private room. There were only five people, except for Li Yifeng and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown child. There were also two women, one in her forties and the other ...... Li Rui's eyes widened when he saw it, wasn't it the unreasonable woman just now!
At the same time that Li Rui saw her, the woman also happened to look over, and the two frowned at the same time.
"Hey, why are you, why did you leave without saying hello just now?" This woman said directly to Li Rui with a straight face.
Faced with such an arrogant and rude woman, Li Rui could only be speechless, turned his gaze away and ignored her.
"Hey, say you, you ......" The woman was still unrelenting, stretched out her finger and pointed at Li Ruidao.
"What's wrong?" Li Yifeng frowned and looked over, and reprimanded the woman: "Xiao Lin, what's the matter with you?" Don't see any guests? ”
The woman pointed at Li Rui and said, "Brother, just now my car collided with this person's car, and he didn't even say hello and walked away quietly." ”
Elder brother? When Li Rui heard this title, he was stunned for a moment, this woman was in her early twenties at most, Li Yifeng was already forty-six, just now he thought that this woman was Li Yifeng's daughter, but he didn't expect it to be his sister.
Li Yifeng sank his face, "Xiao Lin, what nonsense!" You chased the tail yourself, and people didn't settle accounts with you, are you still reasonable? Shouting, didn't you see that Mr. Zhang and Director Zhao were there! ”
Then he looked at Li Rui and said, "You are Comrade Li Rui, right?" This is my little sister Li Lin, she is not sensible, you don't want to be like her. ”
Li Rui hurriedly said: "No, no, in fact, my attitude was not very good when I was down there just now." Since Li Yifeng spoke, he also had to have an attitude, looked at Li Lin and apologized: "Li Lin, my attitude was not very good just now, I'm sorry!" ”
Li Lin glanced at Li Rui, snorted unconvinced, and deliberately pinned his head to the side.
"Xiao Lin!" Seeing this, Li Yifeng glared at her, and Li Lin said coldly: "Forget it." ”
Li Yifeng shook his head helplessly, and asked Li Rui apologetically, "Is your car okay?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, Mayor Lee."
"It's okay, now that everyone knows each other, this misunderstanding will be resolved. Li Lin probably feels sorry for her car, right? It's okay, I'll ask the driver to help you drive the car to the garage later, and it will be repaired as soon as possible. Lao Zhao smiled and said. At this time, he seemed to have long forgotten that he was still saying that people lacked education and had no concept of the legal system, and the smile on his face was full of flattery.
Li Yifeng nodded and agreed to Lao Zhao's suggestion, gave Li Rui an apologetic smile, and then had a formulaic conversation with Zhang Zhuoyang, focusing on this take-off center.
Looking at Li Yifeng's pretending without a trace, Li Rui couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, he just wanted to please the Zhang family, but he insisted on pretending to have normal dealings with investors. Thinking about himself, not long ago, in order to deal with Cui Yongheng, why didn't he also stand at the height of righteousness in a fake way. Paralyzed, as long as you are an official, you are so hypocritical as a special mother!
Li Yifeng was drinking red wine on this table, and when Zhao Wenlong personally opened the bottle of Qingyunchun puree blended wine that he brought over, a rich aroma of wine suddenly wafted out, Li Yifeng even called for good wine, and let Zhao Wenlong pour a glass with great interest and accept everyone's toast.
The glass touched the wine dry, which made Lao Zhao feel very surprised, they all said that Mayor Li rarely drinks alcohol, and he has seen someone toast Li Yifeng more than once, whether it is a cadre at the department level or at the deputy department level, Li Yifeng is not to say that he is a toast, even half a cup is very rare, basically it is a small sip, and it stops after tasting it. It's been a long time, everyone knows Mayor Li's rules, but I didn't expect to have a drink with Zhang Zhuoyang today, is this total face so big?
However, his surprised mood was quickly replaced by flattery, because Mayor Li also toasted with him, and he was excited to snatch the wine bottle in Zhao Wenlong's hand and accidentally spilled a little when he poured the wine for Mayor Li personally.
"Look at you, it's a pity to spill such a good wine." Li Yifeng said with a smile.
Lao Zhao took the wine bottle and nodded repeatedly, probably excited and nervous, and his speech was a little incoherent, "Mayor Li, you are right to criticize, I will review." ”
"Hahaha......" Li Yifeng patted him on the shoulder, "I said you old Zhao, why can't you even hear good words today." You comrade, ......" (to be continued......)
