Phoenix Pavilion is the largest box in the Phoenix Building, located on the top floor of the Phoenix Building, facing the sea on one side and having a wide view.

The whole box is luxuriously decorated and extravagant, with gilded phoenix murals and various soaring phoenix patterns, dotting the corners of the entire box, and the bright yellow lights are more and more dazzling.

It seemed that the time was just right, and not long after Ling Yuxing took Qiancheng to the Phoenix Pavilion in the Phoenix Tower, the mayor had already arrived.

Getting up, Qiancheng looked at the man who stepped into the box, thin and casual, simple white shirt and black trousers, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slightly revealed his age, and when he looked at people with bright amber eyes, he looked at people with a slight sharpness, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a person who was mixed with officialdom, and he was indifferent to the people but he was serious as an official.

"Mayor Lu, long time no see!" After getting up from his seat, Ling Yuxing politely stretched out his hand to shake hands with the comer, gentle and modest, neither flattering nor bending his knees, that indifference and casualness above power, if it weren't for the identities of each other, I am afraid that Ling Yuxing would think that Ling Yuxing was the mayor.

"Mr. Ling, long time no see!" Lu Sheng smiled politely, turned his head to look at Su Qiancheng who came with him, and a trace of surprise flashed under his amber eyes.

Ling Yuxing turned sideways and introduced the woman beside him with a half-smile, "This is Miss Su Qiancheng, the design director of our company. This is Mayor Lu of our City A! ”

"Hello Mayor Lu!" Nodding lightly, Qiancheng politely stretched out his hand towards Lu Sheng to shake his hand.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they took their seats.

The owner of the Phoenix Building also knocked on the door at this time, holding the mayor's hand and smiling politely: "The mayor is here to the Phoenix Building!" If there are any deficiencies in the work, we will work hard to correct them and humbly accept the inspection of the superiors! ”

"Boss Chen is serious, Phoenix Building is a century-old brand in our city A, and it can also be said to be the cultural heritage of city A, in addition to carrying forward the tradition, we must also bring forth more innovation, especially in the catering industry, the most important thing is food safety and quality, you should pay more attention to this aspect."

"What the mayor said is that we have always put food safety in the first place, and there will never be any substandard products, please rest assured that the mayor!"

"That's good!"

Ling Yuxing feasted guests, and the menu had probably been ordered early in the morning, so not long after they sat down, the chef brought more than a dozen dishes with the waiter.

Xu Shizhi said that they had something serious to talk about, and the boss of the Phoenix Building toasted the mayor and Ling Yuxing with a glass of wine and left.

Because it is a private dinner, not a business entertainment, the eating process is much more casual and relaxed than a normal dinner.

During the meal, the two big men talked about the economic development of City A, as well as the current country. The family policy is far-sighted, and occasionally Ling Yuxing expresses his views on the economic reform of City A, and he does not exaggerate the facts or sycophants between the lines, and even puts forward a lot of opinions to the mayor, and the mayor, who is close to the people and patient, also responds one by one.

The tone of the two of them spoke as if they were old friends, without much scruples, and even talked very harmoniously.

In City A, the relationship between officials and businessmen has always been close and inseparable, promoting each other and relying on each other, the economic development of City A is indispensable to the support of such a large consortium as Ling's Group, and the development of the group also needs the government to introduce policy support to give a good development environment.

In this way, the two sides have become mutually reinforcing.

They discussed economic trends, and Qiancheng, who knew nothing about this, could only eat slowly with her head down, and she was not very hungry when she ate late for breakfast, so as not to make the atmosphere awkward, she could only raise her head from time to time and pretend to listen.

In the meantime, while Ling Yuxing was talking to the mayor, he turned his head to the bowl of vegetables in her bowl, as soon as she finished eating, he would immediately make up for it, regardless of whether the dish was her favorite or not.

Every time she raised her head, she could always see Mayor Lu's surprised gaze, as if she couldn't believe it, looking at her with a little scrutiny, which made her feel uncomfortable. 19ZNf。

After eating a meal for nearly three hours, Qiancheng watched them talk back and forth, and occasionally was pulled into some of her own questions, and she only answered a few words lightly.

She is here to accompany the food, not to accompany the wine and chat, anyway, there is nothing for her in their world, just eat obediently, it is estimated that Ling Yuxing also means this, she didn't speak, and he didn't talk about the topic for her to speak.

When it was almost two o'clock, Ling Yuxing asked people to remove the things on the table, and Mayor Lu suddenly became interested when he saw the white jade chess pieces placed on one side, "It's still early, why don't you play the next game of chess?" ”

"Okay!" Nodding, Ling Yuxing turned his head to look at Qiancheng on the side, "You go make tea, and ask the waiter to send me the Ming Qian Longjing that I have stored here." ”

"Oh, good!" Nodding, she turned to the waiter, walked around to the coffee table on the other side and began to boil water.

There are all kinds of equipment in the huge box, and on the table by the window, the two have already set up the chessboard, and they are playing chess as if no one is next to them.

There are several retro Sancai bowls on the coffee table, and Qiancheng brews tea, carefully pours the tea into the bowl, and the elegant movements are skillful and meticulous.

She didn't see that the man who was playing chess on the other side inadvertently raised his eyes, and what he saw was her appearance of being quiet and good.

Quiet and tranquil, as if not affected by the world, sitting on a chair and making tea, every movement and posture seems to be proficient in the tea ceremony, in such a bright afternoon, it has become a scenery by the window.

As if noticing his distraction, Lu Sheng looked towards the window, smiled faintly, dropped a child, raised his eyebrows and asked with a half-smile: "Is this time serious?" ”

"Huh?" Coming back to his senses, Ling Yuxing turned his head to Shang Lu Sheng's slightly meaningful gaze, realizing what he had just said, and quietly removed the soft light from the bottom of his eyes, "Actually, I just think it's an interesting pet." ”

She is like his prey, every time she is cornered, you can always see her various wonderful counterattacks, and he has changed from the initial tame mentality to the current teasing, such colorful and wonderful expressions, full of pleasant mood.

"Really? If it's not serious, just do it in moderation, and if it's serious, go in with some thought, and you're not too old. ”

Among the many juniors, Ling Yuxing's thoughts are the deepest and the most incomprehensible.

"Well, I know that this matter is not urgent." With a faint smile, he half-squinted and shifted the topic, and his dark eyes fell on the chessboard, "As the saying goes, a mistake is all over the board, I have been playing chess for so long, and now is the time for a wonderful release, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

"No one can guess your mind, and I don't bother to do that." Raising his eyebrows, Lu Sheng looked at the woman who came over with the tea tray and smiled meaningfully.

"Mayor, please have tea!" After bringing a cup of tea, Sencheng smiled politely.

"Well, the aroma is strong, and when you smell the fragrance, you will know that it is a good tea!" Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Lu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "The craftsmanship is good!" ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for your appreciation!" With a chuckle, Qiancheng picked up another cup and put it next to Ling Yuxing's hand, and when she just got up, the mobile phone in her bag rang, and she smiled awkwardly, "I'll answer the phone, you continue." ”

Holding her mobile phone, she looked at the number on it, afraid of arguing with the people in the box to play chess, she pushed open the door and walked out.

The call was from Shen Gongzi, and after going around a circle, she realized that Shen Gongzi invited her to dinner in order to thank her for her help, as if he was afraid that she would not go, and specially chose a club to invite guests.

After answering his invitation, she hung up the phone, and as soon as she turned around, she saw several figures coming out of the walk, and the leading woman was Qiu Huaxue, her mother-in-law who met once a week.

As if she had seen her, Qiu Huaxue paused, and after saying hello to a few noble ladies beside her, she raised her feet and walked towards her.

"Mom, why are you here?" Putting away her phone, she pulled a far-fetched smile out.

The phoenix looks like a yellow top. "I'm coming over for dinner, why are you here too?!" Glancing at her up and down, Qiu Huaxue asked coldly, her dazzling eyes seemed to be worried that she would lose her face outside, with a look of pickiness and contempt.

Fearlessly meeting her gaze, Qiancheng gritted his teeth and said with a half-smile: "I'll come over for dinner with our president, and ...... The mayor is also there! ”

"Mayor? The mayor is also here? At first hearing this, Qiu Huaxue's face suddenly changed, and she raised her eyebrows to look at her, as if she was a little surprised, "In which box?" I'm going to say hi to him, don't be rude! ”

"This ......" They are playing chess, and I don't know if the road will disturb them at this time.

Just as she hesitated, Qiu Huaxue had already reached out her hand, grabbed her, and said unceremoniously: "Why, can't I, the deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau, say hello to the mayor?" ”

"No, no, let's go! This ......" twisted his eyebrows slightly, pulled away her hand without a trace, and walked towards the Phoenix Pavilion with her.

If she hesitates like this, she still doesn't know what more ugly things her old man will say, after all, it is a public occasion, if she loses the face of the Yan family because of her, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat when she returns to the Yan family!

Stepping into the box, she walked to the chess table and looked at the two people who were playing chess in embarrassment and confusion, "Uh......"

Before she could speak, Qiu Huaxue, who was standing behind her, had already pulled her aside and stepped forward with a smile, "Mayor Lu, what a coincidence!" You're here too,"

Disturbed by this sharp voice, Lu Sheng raised his head from the chessboard, glanced at Qiu Huaxue in front of him lightly, and was stunned for a few seconds before speaking: "It turned out to be Deputy Director Qiu." ”

"yes!" Qiu Huaxue nodded, turned her head and inadvertently saw the man who raised her eyes on one side, the flattering and flattering expression on her face suddenly froze, as if she didn't expect that the person who was eating with the mayor would be their Yan family's sworn enemy - Ling Yuxing!
