Song Lingyue had breakfast at Nicholas Chen's house, so she asked the driver to send her back to her house, Rong's mother was still waiting for her, she didn't accompany her at thirty, how could she accompany her on the first day of junior high school.

Back at home, Rong's mother was directing the servants in the kitchen to make dumplings, and told them to make them look better.

Song Lingyue carried a few boxes of snacks into the house, and said with a smile: "Godmother, I heard you nagging me from afar, I came in at a trot, was I not here last night, are you angry?" ”

Rong's mother was happier than anything else when she saw her, and she hugged her to her affectionately, and said with a look of affection: "I am reluctant, you girl, you haven't come back all night, I still think about making food for you, I'm worried about killing me." ”

Song Lingyue rubbed her and said coquettishly: "I knew that you loved me the most, so I deliberately went around to Xiangfu Ji to buy you snacks, all of which you love to eat." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Rong Ma to the main hall again, and said seriously: "Today is the first day of the new year, I have to kowtow to you, go and continue." ”

Rong's mother was surrounded by her to the main hall, and the housekeeper moved a chair for her to sit down, and put a soft cushion on the ground for Song Lingyue, afraid that she would hurt her knees.

Song Lingyue put the housekeeper down, knelt down in front of Rong's mother, kowtowed firmly, Rong's mother's eyes were full of tears, she hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and went over to help her up.

"Xiaoyue, what are you doing here? I just know what you want. ”

Song Lingyue helped her sit on the sofa, half-squatted in front of her, and said very seriously: "Godmother, although I recognized you as my godmother, in my heart, you have long been my own mother." In the past two years, you have endured so much hardship with me, and now that I can earn money, I want to do business well, build a big house, let you live a good life, and never let you suffer again. ”

Rong's mother was filled with tears by what she said, pulled her with one hand, wiped her tears with her hand, and choked up: "Xiaoyue! It's not easy for you, you have to dance to support your family, and you have to dress up as a woman to do business, and work hard like a man, I really can't bear to see you work so hard, I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to take care of you. ”

Song Lingyue's eyes also turned red, she snuggled her head sideways on her knees, and said sullenly: "Godmother, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of tiredness, I will earn a lot of money, I want you to be happy, and I will also work hard to revitalize my father's family business, buy the Song family's house back, and let the Song family rise again." ”

Rong's mother nodded, "Good boy, you are a good boy, your father is in the spirit of heaven, and I will be glad that our Song family will rise sooner or later." ”

Song Lingyue didn't want to make her sad anymore, so she cheered up, got up and straightened her clothes, and stretched out her hand mischievously, "Godmother, I have a New Year's greeting for you, you can give a red envelope." ”

"Oh, you girl." Rong's mother was amused by her, slapped her palm, and said with a smile: "There are red envelopes, I have prepared a big red envelope for my daughter, and I have prepared a red envelope for everyone, let's go, let's go and send red envelopes." ”

Song Lingyue helped her go out, and shouted excitedly: "Send red envelopes!" My wife wants to send out red envelopes, come and collect them! ”

There were a few cheers outside, several people cheered up, Rong's mother happily sent red envelopes, and the family happily celebrated the first day of the New Year.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Kaimen was open, and President Zhao invited friends to have a small gathering in Jin Kaimen, and also notified Song Lingyue in advance, saying that it was a distinguished guest and hoped that she could present a dance.

After changing clothes and putting on a mask, the greeter and the messenger spread the word that President Zhao's guests had arrived, Song Lingyue took the stage in time, and music was played on the stage, Song Lingyue thought about it, since it was a distinguished guest, it was not appropriate to dance flamenco, so people changed the tune and danced rumba.

As soon as the dance began, there were enthusiastic cheers in the hall, and Xia Yeqing sat down in the box, and before he took the wine handed over by Chief Zhao, he frowned dissatisfiedly when he heard the cheers outside.

"Chief Zhao, why are you in this kind of place? Don't you think it's noisy? ”

Chief Zhao put the wine glass to his hand and said with a smile: "If President Xia doesn't come to this place, it is inevitable that he doesn't know that it is not so noisy on weekdays, and only Miss Moon will make these people crazy." This Miss Moon has rarely been on stage, and today I specially invited her to dance for you, and I chose this box to enjoy her beautiful dancing. ”

Xia Ye glanced at it, and said without being salty or light: "I don't think there's anything new, isn't it just that the dance is different?" Wearing a mask, so it's mysterious, I'm not interested in watching it. ”

Mr. Zhao knew his temperament, and he didn't care about him, so he still smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, it's okay if you're not interested in dancing, let's drink, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, let's have a good drink today." As he spoke, he raised his glass.

Summer night Qinglai came, and he couldn't help but give him face, raised his glass and touched him, raised his head and drank dry, put down the wine glass and said: "Chief Zhao, it's not that I don't want to come, it's really busy with official business that I can't get out, you also know that the recent tax reform, there are a lot of customs matters, since I am in this position, I still have to do a good job." ”

Chief Zhao said yes again and again, and as soon as it got hot, the title changed, "What Brother Xia said is that our minds are the same, I invited you to come today, and I also want to talk about taxation, President Mu, is there any new news?" Can Brother Xia reveal a little bit to his brother? ”

Xia Yeqing squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, aren't you embarrassing me?" Mr. Mu has news, why should he tell me? He is not in charge of my customs' taxes, and the policies he has formulated will not affect me. ”

Chief Zhao laughed dryly, rubbed his hands and said, "Isn't the relationship between President Mu and you well known?" Privately, he didn't say anything? ”

Xia Yeqing hissed in his mouth, leaned on the seat, put one hand on the back of the chair, pointed at him with the other, and said with a strange smile: "Brother Zhao, you are not sincere, what does this tax matter have to do with you, are you still doing business in private?" ”

Chief Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I am responsible for this position, how can I have the kung fu to do business?" ”

"I said yes, we poor officials, are not like those outsiders Qiu Ba, who dare to do anything, and do business in private, we are not surprised, such a shameless thing, I guess my brother also disdains to do it."

When Xia Yeqing said this, he seemed to be appreciating the dance outside, but in fact, Yu Guang kept staring at President Zhao's expression, seeing that his face had changed, his heart suddenly sank, this surnamed Zhao really got together with the surname Chen, and it seemed that he was not making less money, and this time he was invited to come, obviously with an impure purpose.

Mr. Zhao's lips trembled, he didn't answer, poured a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, only to feel that the anger in his heart was much less, and secretly slandered: "Say that others are Qiu Ba, what is the difference between you Xia Yeqing and those Qiu Ba, I am afraid that there are more soldiers under your command than Chen Tingfeng." ”

But he could only think about this in his heart, if he said it, it would be strange if Xia Yeqing didn't lift the table for him, calmed down, and then said: "Brother Xia, words can't be said so absolutely, everyone has everyone's difficulties, just like Brother Xia, it is not easy to maintain such a big Xia family, if you don't run some industries, how can you protect the life of the family?" ”

Xia Yeqing turned his head, stared at him with a complicated expression, and spit out a sentence leisurely after a while, "Brother Zhao, does the Xia family have an industry?" How did I not know? ”

"This ......" Chief Zhao choked for a while, and half of his old face was red.

Those who are officials are not allowed to operate industries, this is a clear rule, but everyone who is an official secretly runs a lot of industries, this is also a consensus, but no one says it, the Xia family's industry is huge, everyone knows it, President Zhao just wanted to ridicule, but he didn't expect to be directly blocked back by Xia Yeqing.

Although he is also the chief minister, Xia Yeqing is in control of the customs, and other people are doing business or fishing for oil and water, and they have to deal with him, plus he has a good relationship with the current Prime Minister of Internal Affairs, Rao is choked by him, and General Director Zhao can't go back, so he laughed twice, pretending to drink with the person next to him to hide his embarrassment.

After Song Lingyue danced, she went backstage to change her clothes, and went straight to Nicholas Chen's box, his box was opposite President Zhao's box, with half a hall in between, and he couldn't see clearly when he opened the door.

Song Lingyue sat with him for a while, originally thinking of going to President Zhao's box to toast a glass of wine, thanking him for his generosity today, she danced, and President Zhao asked people to send a big red envelope to the backstage, how to thank her, but Chen Tingfeng stopped her, saying that the person President Zhao saw today was extraordinary, and it was not appropriate for her to go, so Song Lingyue had to give up.

The two drank a few glasses of wine, and Chief Zhao's subordinates secretly came over to pass the word, and Nicholas Chen excused himself to be uncomfortable and wanted to leave the box with Song Lingyue.

When passing by Chief Zhao's box, Chen Tingfeng inadvertently glanced inside, saw that the situation inside was not good, frowned, it seems that this summer night Qing can't take it.

Song Lingyue looked at him with a sad look, snuggled into his arms, stroked his chest, and asked, "Commander, are you uncomfortable?" Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital? Nicholas Chen shook his head and hugged her out of Jinkaimen.

The two of them got into the car, and Xia Yeqing walked out with Adjutant Zhang, the car slowly drove in front of the two, through the car window, Song Lingyue's side face flashed in front of Xia Yeqing, Xia Yeqing bowed his head to light a cigarette, and no one saw each other.

Xia Yeqing looked at the car walking away, spit out a smoke ring, raised his chin, and asked Adjutant Zhang, "This is Nicholas Chen's car in front, right?" ”

Adjutant Zhang glanced at it, the car was far away, he couldn't see the license plate number, so he said: "I don't know, but I have been inquiring about it for a long time, and he will come on any day when this Miss Moon dances, maybe it's him." ”

A thin layer of smoke erupted from his nose on a summer night, and he threw away the cigarette butt casually, twisted it with the tip of his leather shoe, and the driver drove the car over, and he slowly stepped down the steps.

"Let's go back! It is already a fact that the surname Zhao and Chen Tingfeng colluded together, and I made my attitude clear today, the surname Chen will not give up, and wait for the next move! ”

Adjutant Zhang answered, followed him into the car, and the car left at great speed, disappearing into the brilliant lights of Jinkaimen.
