Li Botang smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you haven't been home for months, it's hard to see you!" If you don't go back, I, the father, will have to come and see you! ”

Chen Yi smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly invited him to sit, and prepared to make tea for him.

Li Botang waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, don't make tea." I came to you today to ask you for a favor and make an appointment with Xiao Ye of the Bureau, I want to invite him to have dinner with him, and by the way, I will talk to him about something. Why don't you take me to him!" ”

Chen Yi has always been more respectful of Li Botang, and when he saw that he personally came forward to invite Ye Ming by himself, he was embarrassed to shirk again, so he had to respond: "Okay, I'll take you down to find him." However, something seems to have happened to him in the past two days, and he is busy every day, and I don't know if I can invite him. ”

Chen Yi originally wanted to call Ye Ming first to talk about it, but Li Botang said that there was no need, so he should go directly to find him and talk to him in person. When Chen Yi heard him say this, he took him directly to Ye Ming's sub-director's office.

Ye Ming was revising the report written by the office secretary on Kanggen's new gun resistance case, when he saw Chen Yi walking in with Li Botang, he showed a look of surprise on his face, quickly stood up, shouted "Uncle Li" very enthusiastically, and asked him to sit in his place.

Li Botang smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you are now the head of the authorities, and I, who is an uncle, haven't congratulated you yet!" Here's what I want to do with you tonight, I booked a box at the Three Golden Flowers Restaurant, I hope you will enjoy your face, and we will go to have a glass of wine together, on the one hand, to congratulate you on your promotion, and on the other hand, to talk about my steel mill to handle tax reductions and exemptions. At that time, I still have a few friends who will come over for dinner together, and I will introduce you to each other, and we will make friends together. ”

Ye Ming, like Chen Yi, saw that Li Botang personally came forward to invite him, but it was not good for him, so he had to agree.

Chen Yi secretly exchanged glances with Ye Ming and said, "Ye Zi, you call Qiqi and let her go to dinner together." ”

Chen Yi now only needs to go out to eat or play with Ye Ming, and he has to call Chen Mengqi to avoid suspicion from others.

Li Botang guessed that the "Qiqi" Chen Yi mentioned should be Ye Ming's girlfriend, so he said happily: "Xiao Ye, have you found a girlfriend?" It's best to bring your girlfriend with you, so that Xiao Chen also has a female companion. ”

Ye Ming nodded, dialed Chen Mengqi's number, and made an appointment with her to eat at the "Three Golden Flowers Native Vegetable Restaurant".

Half an hour later, Li Botang drove his Mercedes-Benz car and drove Ye Ming and Chen Yi to the Three Golden Flower Native Vegetable Restaurant, where Li Zhi and Chen Mengqi were already waiting at the door.

When they walked into the local restaurant, Xia Feifei, who was standing behind the bar, saw Ye Ming at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly came out of the bar, and said to Ye Ming with a smile: "Director Ye, welcome!" I haven't seen Director Ye for half a month, you are now more and more chic and dignified, and Yushu is in the wind! Come, come, I'll take you to the box. ”

Chen Mengqi was very wary of this proprietress who always looked at Ye Ming with affectionate eyes, and as soon as she entered the door, she tightly held Ye Ming's arm, and pouted at Xia Feifei as if demonstrating, and said: "Boss, we are literate and know where the box is, there is no need to work for your big driver, you should go and greet your other distinguished guests!" ”

Xia Feifei had already seen that Ye Ming's girlfriend was very jealous, so she didn't care about her, and still took them to the No. 10 box with a smile.

Ye Ming and the others had just walked into the corridor with boxes distributed, and suddenly a man and a woman came from the opposite side. The man was in his thirties, not tall, slightly chubby, and had a round baby face. The woman is tall, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her skin is better than snow, wearing a pure white down jacket on her upper body and a pair of skinny jeans that highlight the contours of her legs on her lower body, looking graceful and charming.

Ye Ming took a closer look at the beautiful girl who walked over, but found that it was the Xia Jiao who accompanied him in the "Blue Moon KTV" that night.

Xia Jiao also saw Ye Ming walking in the middle of the crowd, and a trace of ecstasy and shyness suddenly flashed across her face. However, the blush was quickly replaced by an expression of annoyance. When she was about to pass by Ye Ming and them, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed the arm of the chubby middle-aged man who was walking with her, and at the same time leaned her body over.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Xia Jiao to take the initiative today, showing a flattered expression, turned his head to look at Xia Jiao, and smiled so much that his face bloomed.

After Chen Mengqi saw the man's face clearly, he suddenly shouted, "Yuan Million, why are you here?" Didn't you go and invite someone from the Planning Bureau to dinner? ”

The middle-aged man was startled, raised his head and took a closer look at Chen Mengqi, who was beginning to be blocked by Ye Ming, and immediately showed a flattering smile on his chubby face, and hurriedly ran over, held hands with her, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, hello, hello!" I had made an appointment with Director Zhang of the Planning Bureau to have dinner here, and the box was also booked. However, just now he called again and said that he had something to do temporarily and could not come. I guess the matter of our piece of land may be yellow. ”

It turned out that this chubby man in his thirties was Chen Mengqi's current real estate development partner, surnamed Yuan, and his name was Yuan Baiwei. Because he has been in business for many years and has a lot of property, people who know him call him "Yuan Million".

Chen Mengqi heard him say that the piece of land they needed might be yellow, and asked a little anxiously, "What's the matter?" Didn't Director Zhang promise to sell us the land in coordination with the leaders of the Land Bureau and the county government? Why did you change your mind again? ”

Yuan Million smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, there are great variables in the business field. Not only do we like that piece of land, but there is another boss with a very good background in the county who also wants it, and we may not be able to fight for him...... Anyway, this matter is quite complicated, and now I can't say it for a while, which time will we talk about it together! By the way, this handsome guy is—"

Chen Mengqi saw that his eyes were looking at Ye Ming beside her, so she leaned towards him, with a sweet smile on her face, and said generously: "This is my boyfriend, named Ye Ming, from the county local taxation bureau." ”

Yuan Million hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands, arched his hand at Ye Ming, and said, "Disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Xia Jiao, who was beside him, heard Chen Mengqi introduce that Ye Ming was her boyfriend, and saw that Chen Mengqi was pretty, pure and refined, and looked very compatible with Ye Ming, but he felt a sour feeling in his heart, a burst of disappointment, and his face suddenly became pale and abnormal.
