"Lao Zhao, what good things have you in the store recently?" Xue Feng had good luck today and won several thousand.

Zhao Wenlong smiled and said: "It's a coincidence today, a batch of king crabs just came in, all of them weigh more than ten catties, haven't you eaten them?" ”

"And such a big crab, weighing more than ten pounds?" Xue Feng said in surprise.

Li Rui glanced at him, "Isn't it a turtle?" King crab is also called Alaska crab, not to mention ten catties, there are twenty catties. This stuff tastes good! ”

Xue Feng muttered: "How can I have you more knowledge!" ”

"I also bought a batch from Hong Kong through Manager Yu's relationship, which is rare in the mainland except for Guangdong." Zhao Wenlong said.

Xue Feng patted his thigh and said, "Eat this thing today, no one is allowed to leave, Li Rui has a treat today!" Saying that, he also looked at Li Rui who was sitting on the opposite side proudly, and all the money he won was lost by Li Rui.

As he was talking, Li Rui's mobile phone rang again.

"Director Li, Secretary Ji asks you to come to the county party committee immediately." The call was made by Wang Yougen.

"Hey, Director Wang, I'm still in Pengcheng now, and I've just done something in the city bureau. It may take another hour to get back. Li Rui knew that Ji Faling would definitely talk to him, but he didn't expect to be in such a hurry.

"That's right...... Wait a minute, don't hang up the phone yet, I'll ask Secretary Ji. ”

After a while, Wang Yougen picked up the phone again, this time his tone was obviously different, and he said with a smile: "Director Li, Secretary Ji asked you not to rush back, and let you go directly to Secretary Ji's house after work, and Secretary Ji will invite you to dinner." Then he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Director Li, you have to be mentally prepared, Secretary He came to investigate today but criticized us for not paying attention to local enterprises." ”

"I see, thank you, Director Wang."

"Hehe, where are we, we're all brothers! By the way, my cousin will come over in two days, and we will get together then? ”

"In a word! I'll arrange it. Li Rui said with a smile.

"What a job! Of course, we will arrange it, and we will inform you when the time comes to book the location. By the way, Secretary Ji usually arrives home at six o'clock. ”

"Okay, I'll be there at six o'clock."

After hanging up the phone, Li Rui spread his hands and said, "I can't eat tonight, and the leaders will recruit each other." ”

"That's a shame, it's all your money!" Xue Feng joked with a smile.

Li Rui smiled, thinking that this king crab was still quite rare in this year, so he said to Zhao Wenlong: "You say hello to the kitchen, help me make a crab, and I'll take it away later." ”

"No problem, you're about half past five, aren't you? I'll let the kitchen be packed in an insulated box when it's ready, and you can just take it away. Zhao Wenlong hurriedly responded, picked up the big brother and called the front desk of the restaurant.

"The money is recorded in Xue Feng's account." Li Rui added.

"Hey, I said why are you like this, I pay?" Xue Feng hurriedly said.

Li Rui sighed deliberately, "Anyway, today is your treat, and I will pay for it." I can't eat it and take it away! ”

"Hahaha......"

At half past five, the mahjong ended, and the big crabs cooked in the kitchen below had been packed into a thermos box, and Li Rui also asked Zhao Wenlong to take two bottles of Qingyunchun blended with a century-old puree. The original pulp is getting less and less, Zhao Wenlong deliberately asked Zhu Baoyuan to carefully mix the new wine in the old cellar and put it into a specially customized one-pound ceramic jar, seal it with mud, and hide it in the cellar.

At six o'clock, Li Rui arrived at Ji Faling's house on time, Ji Faling's car could not be stopped, Ji Faling came out of the car and saw Li Rui holding a big box in one hand and two bottles of wine in the other, and said with a smile: "Li Rui, what do you mean by this, openly bribe?" ”

"How dare I! Secretary Ji, you invited me over for dinner, I can't be empty-handed, I packed some food, just two bottles of wine. Li Rui said with a smile.

"You kid, I'm afraid that my family will have no food and no taste for drinking?" Ji Fa Lingdao took the bag from Wang Yougen's hand casually, "Xiao Wang, why don't you go together?" ”

The leader asked politely in this tone, Wang Yougen has been with Ji Faling for many years, how could he be so uninteresting, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My wife is still waiting for me at home, so I won't bother." ”

"Well, tomorrow doesn't have to be too early, I still have to go to the municipal party committee." Ji Faling nodded and commanded.

Wang Yougen nodded in response, said hello to Li Rui again, got in the car and left.

Ji Faling looked at Li Rui, who was standing in the courtyard with his things, smiled slightly, and beckoned: "Don't stand, let's go into the house!" ”

Ji Faling's wife Li Rui saw it last time he came to visit the New Year, she was a typical rural woman, she looked much older than Ji Faling, and her figure was also very good, Li Rui greeted him with a smile and was still muttering in his stomach: No wonder Lao Ji has a leg with Gao Yingjie!

Ji Faling handed the bag to his wife, "What about the girl?" ”

"My daughter called back and said she was eating out with a colleague." My wife said.

Ji Faling shook her head, "This girl, I know all day long that she is giggling with her colleagues, they are all in their twenties, and they don't talk about a serious partner." ”

My wife nodded, sighed and said, "No, her aunt helped introduce two years ago, and I think the conditions are very good, but she just doesn't like it." ”

Ji Faling waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, the dishes are all cooked, right?" Today I have two drinks with Li Rui. As he spoke, he smiled at Li Rui and said, "I'm laughing at you, children are all parents' debts!" You're promising, your parents must be proud of you, right? ”

Li Rui didn't know if Ji Faling intended to inquire about his family, or if he said it casually, and replied: "My mother died early, I grew up with my grandfather, and later my grandfather also passed away, I have always lived alone. I think Ji Jie was born in happiness and doesn't know how to be blessed, and one day when I see her, I must talk about her. ”

Ji Faling's daughter is called Ji Jie, and she is very good with Gao Jie, except for the different surnames, the two have the same name, which is said to be one of the fates of Gao Changlong and Ji Faling. Li Rui also followed Gao Jie to see her a few times, about the same age as him, working in a bank in the city, still a small boss, looking very similar to Ji Faling, a very cheerful girl.

"Hahaha...... Good! Today's young people can't listen to their parents, but the persuasion of friends is still very effective, and you and Gao Jie will take good care of this little sister in the future. Ji Faling laughed happily, it could be seen that he was very fond of this daughter. In fact, he also has a son, who has been serving in the army since graduating from the military academy in his early years, and it is rare to come back once during the Chinese New Year, Li Rui has never seen it.

Ji Faling's wife brought the dishes to the table, and Li Rui hurriedly took out the crabs he brought.

"What is this, so big! Crabs? Seeing the huge crab legs, Ji Faling was surprised.

Li Rui explained with a smile: "Alaskan king crab, Huazhongcheng just came in from Hong Kong, and I packed it for freshness." ”

"Well, yes, let's try it today!" Ji Faling smiled, he picked up the clay pot brought by Li Rui again, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is Qingyunchun blended with the original pulp, right?" That's not a lot! It was the last time Secretary General Wang invited a treat, and I tasted it in Huazhong City, and it tasted quite good. When I was in the countryside before, I didn't drink this Qingyunchun, but I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in such a small winery. ”

Li Rui hurriedly opened the wine and poured it into the glass, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ji, it's not easy for you to drink this wine, I'll bring you two more bottles in two days." ”

Ji Faling sat down and picked up the cup and sniffed it first, then took a sip and exclaimed: "Good wine!" At the same time, he also beckoned Li Rui to sit down.

"Ask Auntie to come over and eat." Li Rui looked in the direction of the kitchen.

Ji Faling waved his hand, "Leave her alone, the traditional women in her hometown don't serve at the table, and she won't feel comfortable if you call her over." Come on, let's drink. ”

Nanqiao has always had the custom of women not serving at the table, but it has begun to change slowly in the past few years, and now only some places in the countryside still retain this tradition, Li Rui had to give up when he heard it, sat down and raised his wine glass and respectfully toasted Ji Faling.

Ji Faling toasted very happily, pulled a big crab leg, tasted Lianzan's good taste, and asked Li Rui: "Last time I listened to Li Fulin's report, Shagou Distillery came back to life and developed a series of new products, I heard that the investor was introduced by you, right?" There is the Boss Zhao in Huazhong City. ”

"Yes, Secretary Ji. Coincidentally, the director of Shagou Distillery is the father of a friend of mine, and when we went to Shagou last year, we tasted this century-old puree, which tasted quite good, and everyone came up with the idea of investing in a distillery. In addition to Zhao Wenlong from Huazhongcheng, there is also Manager Yu of Hong Kong Tengfei Group, I also invested some money in it, looking at this development trend, it is estimated that the future return will be good. ”

Li Rui didn't hide it, and this kind of thing can't be hidden from people at all, so the surname Suo said it one by one, and finally added with a smile, "But I didn't dare to use my own name, I used my aunt's name." ”

Ji Faling nodded, without the slightest surprise, obviously he already knew, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite rich?" ”

"When my grandfather died, he left me all the manuscript fees over the years, and I have also invested some money over the years."

Li Rui's grandfather, as a respected old dean of Pengcheng Institute of Technology, published a lot of books during his lifetime, which is well known to everyone, Ji Faling glanced at Li Rui, and did not ask any more, but just reminded him: "The Coal Management Bureau has always been the hardest hit area of [***], your predecessor Du Jinsong, including the previous director, was dismissed because of [***], you have to take caution, and you must always walk by the river, that is, do not wet your shoes." ”

"Secretary Ji, I know this in my heart, and I am not short of money as a bachelor. The last time Secretary He came to me to admonish and talk, he specifically talked about this issue, and I promised Secretary He. Li Rui picked up the clay pot and filled Ji Faling's cup with a smile.

"It's good that you know, you're still young, you can't make a mistake about it. Remember, this is a bottom line that we must not touch as party members and cadres. ”
