Xia Bicheng knew that his daughter was making excuses, so he deliberately sold Guan Zi and said: "Chu Chu, don't you like to accompany your father's guests to eat so much, okay, you tell your mother, just say that I want to invite a comrade from the Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau to come to the house for dinner, let her cook a few more dishes, prepare a bottle of good wine, and wait for me to have a good drink with this guest, alas, regret, I originally wanted you to accompany this comrade to have a drink, but your colleague has a life, then you should go and accompany your colleague." ”

As soon as Xia Chuchu heard the words "Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau", he immediately asked in a regurgitatory manner: "Who is a comrade from the Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau, do I recognize it?" ”

Xia Bicheng deliberately groaned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Of course you know, the guest I want to invite tonight is Ye Ming." ”

When Xia Chuchu heard that the guest invited by his father so solemnly was actually his sweetheart, he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, and shouted in a fuss over there: "Dad, are you not mistaken, you did it on purpose, by the way, did you make an appointment with Ye Ming's hillbilly, did he agree?" ”

"I haven't made an appointment yet, because I don't know his phone number."

Xia Chuchu hurriedly said, "Dad, remember, I'll tell you his phone number...... By the way, he is at Uncle Li's house now, you call quickly, and in a while, he will have dinner, and it will be too late. ”

Xia Bicheng heard her impatient tone, laughed again, and said in a teasing tone: "Chu Chu, why are you so enthusiastic and impatient as soon as you heard that you are inviting Ye Ming, aren't you going to go to your colleague's place to have a raw banquet, you tell me your phone number, hurry up and get out, or you won't be able to catch up with the raw banquet." ”

Xia Chuchu was broken by her father, and he was stunned on the other end of the phone for a while, and said coquettishly: "Dad, when did you become so bad, didn't you mean to see my jokes, why didn't you tell me earlier that you invited Ye Ming's hillbilly today, if it was to invite someone else, I would not be interested in accompanying him, but Ye Ming's hillbilly is my good friend, if you invite him today, I will give him a face, and I won't go to my colleague's birthday banquet, just accompany him to drink two glasses...... By the way, when you get home, remember to buy a bottle of red wine at the convenience store outside, I can't drink white wine. ”

It turned out that Xia Chuchu didn't know that his father had gone to Secretary Lu's office to talk about her marriage to Ye Ming, and thought that he didn't know that he wanted to get engaged to Ye Ming, so she opened her mouth and closed her mouth "hillbilly", pretending to be fine, Xia Bicheng wanted to laugh when she heard it, and quickly agreed, and urged her to ask for Ye Ming's mobile phone number.

After writing down Ye Ming's mobile phone number, Xia Bicheng chatted with Xia Chuchu for a few more words, and then hung up her phone and dialed Ye Ming's number.

After the phone was connected, Xia Bicheng said in a very warm and cordial tone: "Xiaoye, I am Xia Bicheng." ”

Ye Ming had never spoken to Xia Bicheng on the phone, and when he heard him report to his home, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said, "Director Xia, hello, I'm Ye Ming." ”

"Where are you now, are you at Secretary Li's house?"

"Yes, I was just helping Aunt Li Jingya choose a dish."

"Well, young people, especially young men, must learn to do a little housework, which is very beneficial to promote family harmony in the future, hehehe."

After beating these three hehehe, Xia Bicheng began to get back to business: "Xiao Ye, it's like this: just now Chu Chu told me that you have been doing business in the provincial capital for the past few days, and she wants to officially invite you to come to my house for a meal, the last time you went to my house, however, that time there was Secretary General Wang's son there, so it is not a formal invitation to you, and the last time because of the presence of outsiders, I didn't have time to have a few glasses of wine with you, today there happened to be Chu Chu's proposal, I very much agree, At the same time, I also warmly welcome you, a great talent of the local taxation system, a young model to come to my house as a guest, just now my Chu Chu's mother bought a few more good dishes, prepare a bottle of good wine, when the time comes, we have a good drink of a few glasses, Chu Chu also said: today you come to my house as a guest, she is very happy, and is ready to make an exception to drink a little red wine to accompany you, how about it, are you free to come now. ”

At this time, in Xia Bicheng's mind, Ye Ming is already the son of Lu Zhiyao, the secretary of the provincial party committee, the young master of the first family of Tianjiang, and his future son-in-law, so his current attitude is very sincere, and his posture is also very low, which makes Ye Ming listen like falling into a fog: What the hell is going on, Director Xia, who has always been lukewarm to himself and even looks down on himself a little, how can he become so humble and enthusiastic now.

After grabbing his scalp and being confused for a while, Ye Ming finally reacted: At this moment, the person who warmly invited him to his house as a guest was the leader of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau, the top boss of his own boss, and he must not lose his courtesy.

So, he hurriedly replied: "Director Xia, thank you for your kind invitation, I will come over in half an hour, and I will definitely accompany you to have a few drinks." ”

"It's good, it's good, then let's just say okay, Chu Chu and I are waiting for you at my house."

After making Ye Ming's call, Xia Bicheng put the phone on the desk, rubbed his palms excitedly, turned around the office a few times, hummed a few words of Peking Opera, raised his eyes to look at the wall clock on the opposite wall, and saw that it was almost half past five, so he packed his briefcase, walked out of the office, took the elevator downstairs, and walked out of the office building with his head held high in a greeting of nodding and greeting, and then called the office director and asked him to buy himself a bottle of better red wine and send it to his home, and emphasized that this bottle of wine was paid for by himself. After receiving a series of promises from the office director, he walked briskly to his home.

When he opened the door of the living room, Xia Chuchu was already waiting at the door of the living room with a smile on his face, and for the first time in person, he personally found him a pair of slippers, and the "Dad" in his mouth was also called very sweet.

Xia Bicheng knew that she was very happy and excited because she invited Ye Ming to dinner today, so she was very happy and excited, so she diligently lifted her slippers for herself, and then smiled and said: "Chu Chu, I remember that since you were in high school, you have not been well-behaved, and you have never come to the door of the living room to greet your father. ”

Xia Chuchu had a happy smile on his face, made a grimace at him, and said, "Dad, if you often invite Ye Ming to dinner, I will come to the door of the living room to pick you up every day, and prepare slippers for you every day, by the way, what about my red wine, why did you forget." ”

Xia Bicheng hurriedly said: "I have already sent the red wine to Director Wang of the office, you can call Xiao Ye again, urge him, and let him come over quickly." ”
