Chapter 841: Jackie Chan
Lin Jiaqiang told Lin Xi on the phone that he was staying at the Crescent Moon Star Hotel, and he had arranged dinner for Lin Xi to bring Wang Yueqin and Zhao Yi over. Lin Jiaqiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, if possible, ask Lin Xi to call Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi and ask them to come over.
After Lin Xi heard this, he complained: "Dad, if you want to invite Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu, tell me as soon as possible, at this time, I am afraid that their dinner at night has been arranged a long time ago, and if I say it now, I am afraid that it will not be good!" ”
Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's complaints, and he also knew that he was indeed a little unscrupulous in this matter, but he couldn't complain about him. The identities of Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi are there, and Liu Jiaqiang has been hesitating whether to invite each other, and it was not until he called Lin Xi just now that he made up his mind.
"Lin Xi, I just said casually, if you feel embarrassed, then forget it, anyway, I have been studying here for three days, let's find time another day!" Lin Jiaqiang said on the other end of the phone.
Lin Xi heard through his father's words that he was determined to invite Zhao Yi's parents to dinner, so he simply called and asked.
After Liu Ruoxi received Lin Xi's call, he agreed to it, and also took it upon himself to help Zhao Qingming agree.
The reason why Liu Ruoxi is so cheerful is that in her heart, she has treated Lin Xi as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, since this is the case, then Lin Jiaqiang and Wang Yueqin are their in-laws, and they still have to give face for a meal.
Lin Jiaqiang was very happy to learn that Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi would come over, and asked Lin Xi to come over early on the phone to help him prepare.
Lin Xi saw from his father's performance that he might have something to ask Zhao Qingming or Liu Ruoxi for. As for what was going on, Lin Xi didn't know, he decided to go over early and find out about the situation.
Lin Xi picked up the phone and told Zhao Yi the address, asking her to bring her mother over later, he had something to do, so he took a step first.
After Zhao Yi heard this, she readily agreed, she would not let go of the opportunity to get close to her future mother-in-law. This advantage is something that Hao Xinyan does not have, and Zhao Yi will naturally hold it firmly in his hands.
When Lin Xi arrived at the Crescent Moon Star Hotel, he saw that his father was happily checking the layout of the dining table, so he was relieved. On the phone, Lin Xi always felt that his father was a little slurred when he spoke, for fear that he would encounter something difficult, and after seeing his performance, he would know that this was not the case, and he would be relieved.
Lin Jiaqiang was very happy when he saw his son arrive, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down on the sofa and chatted.
Through small talk, Lin Xi found that his father had done a very good job in Xucheng during this time, and his main investment promotion work was impressive, and he felt like a fish in water, which could be seen from the confident smile on his face.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xi also had doubts in his heart, it is said that his father should not hesitate to invite Zhao Yi's parents to dinner at this time, what is going on?
After having this idea, Lin Xi consciously tested his father.
After Lin Jiaqiang listened to his son's words, he said embarrassedly: "Son, it seems that I can't hide anything from you, today I actually want to invite your Aunt Liu to dinner, their Tiantong Company wants to increase its investment in Xucheng, but the city has talked with them several times in a row and has not negotiated, so I want to take this opportunity to talk to your aunt, but I feel that it is a bit inappropriate to say this on such an occasion, plus she is a lesbian, I can't open my mouth." ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he realized that his father was asking Zhao Yi's mother, but because of the identity and gender of the other party, he couldn't open his mouth. Lin Xi couldn't imagine that his father would still pick people based on gender, which is a bit out of place, you must know that there are many cases of women being stronger than men in these years.
"Dad, I don't think it's a big deal, if you open your mouth, Auntie will definitely give you this face." Lin Xi encouraged.
Lin Jiaqiang knew very well that there was no problem with what Lin Xi said, if he opened his mouth tonight, Liu Ruoxi would definitely give him this face, the key was that he couldn't open his mouth a little.
Lin ...... Lin Xi, do you think this will work, you can help me talk to your Aunt Liu, she is your thing after all, if you want to say it, she must give face. Lin Jiaqiang stammered.
"Dad, are you mistaken, this is your work matter, why do you want me to help you say it, this matter is not negotiable, if you want to say it, you can say it yourself, if you don't say it, then forget it, I don't mix." Lin Xi rejected his father.
The reason why Lin Xi did this was to help his father reverse some conservative ideologies, and in the long run, these things would inevitably affect his future.
The most common thing that Chinese people say to their children is to hope that their sons will become Chan and their daughters will become phoenixes, but when they come to Lin Xi, they want their fathers to become Chan, which is a very joyful thing.
Lin Jiaqiang heard his son say this, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to say stupidly: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then let's say it, I believe that your Aunt Liu will still give me this face." ”
"That's certain, Dad, don't think that Aunt Liu is a lesbian, there's something in your heart. In the position she is in now, let alone lesbians, even if they are gay, they can't find a few who can do a better job than her. Lin Xi looked at his father and said with a straight face.
Lin Xi's words are not to praise Liu Ruoxi, under her leadership, Tiantong Company has indeed done a good job, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
After Lin Jiaqiang heard Lin Xi's words, he realized something, and subconsciously nodded heavily.
Although Lin Xi made an appointment very late, Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi still came over on time. When they entered the private room, Zhao Yi and Wang Yueqin hadn't even come over!
This is the first dinner attended by all the family members of the Zhao and Lin families, and Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi attach great importance to it, so it is impossible to be late.
Lin Jiaqiang was very polite to Zhao and Liu, Zhao Qingming used to be kind to him, but now he has something to ask Liu Ruoxi for help, and he can't be polite or not.
Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi were very uncomfortable with Lin Jiaqiang's enthusiasm, but because of Lin Xi's presence, they didn't feel embarrassed.
Zhao Yi and Wang Yueqin pushed open the door with a smile, and when they saw their father and mother present, they felt panicked and couldn't help but get nervous. Wouldn't this be the legendary family of relatives, Zhao Yi thought confusedly.
Wang Yueqin was also stunned when she saw this, before this, the two of them didn't know that Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi were coming. After exercising in Dongsheng during this time, Wang Yueqin has become a lot more sophisticated, and after a moment of stunned, she quickly came to her senses, and talked and laughed with Liu Ruoxi about her parents.
Lin Jiaqiang saw that everyone had arrived, so he beckoned to take a seat. On the question of who sits in the main seat, Lin Jiaqiang and Zhao Qingming were very humble, and in the end it was Zhao Qingming who sat in the main seat, Lin Jiaqiang accompanied him, and Lin Xi and Zhao Yi sat in the last seat.
Lin Jiaqiang picked up his wine glass and said to Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi: "Mayor Zhao, Mr. Liu, it's rare to have the opportunity to get together, I'll do it first as a respect!" ”
After Zhao Qingming heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the other party, and said: "Jiaqiang, if you say that, you will see the outside, we are of the same age, so we are called brothers, there is no mayor and boss at this table today, only friendship." We're old acquaintances, come on, cheers! ”
Lin Xi saw the scene in front of him, and subconsciously compared his father and Zhao Qingming, I have to say that there is a very small gap between his father and the other party, but this is also a normal situation, the experiences of the two are different, and there is not much comparison.
As soon as Zhao Qingming's words fell, Lin Xi immediately picked up his wine glass and stood up, and said respectfully: "Dad, Uncle Zhao, I salute you, I wish you a prosperous official fortune and make further progress!" ”
As soon as Lin Xi's words fell, Zhao Qingming let out a hearty laugh, he knew very well in his heart that this kid was helping his father out of the siege!
Just as the three men showed the bottom of the cup, the three ladies were not to be outdone and drank the drink in the cup. Lin Xi and Zhao Yilian stood up and helped their parents pour wine and drinks, and the scene of good clothes and happy scenes.
After two glasses of wine, Lin Jiaqiang's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his speech was not as restrained as before. He glanced at Liu Ruoxi, who was diagonally opposite, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and said: "Mr. Liu, according to what Mayor Zhao just said, I should call you my brother-in-law, but this time I must call you Mr. Liu, there is something I can ask for your help." ”
Liu Ruoxi is a lady who is a serious girl, and now she is at the helm of Tiantong Company, and has dealt with all kinds of characters, hearing Lin Jiaqiang's words, she hurriedly counted the drinks in front of her, and said with a smile: "Mayor Lin, I can't afford what you say, just say anything." If nothing else, just look at the two children, we shouldn't be like this, you say, right? ”
After Zhao Yi heard his mother's words, he lowered his head shyly, and Lin Xi, in order to hide his embarrassment, hurriedly raised his wine glass to toast Zhao Qingming.
