In the afternoon, Qi Xiaoming had to cancel the appointment with Yu Xiaoya to meet in the evening, because a good friend called him to remind him about the evening party, and he has been in a poor state recently, and he almost forgot that there was a dinner in the evening.

When Qi Xiaoming told Yu Xiaoya the news that he had an appointment with someone this night, Yu Xiaoya paused slightly on the other end of the phone, she didn't say much, just said that she would make an appointment another day. But Qi Xiaoming could still keenly sense her unhappiness from Yu Xiaoya's tone, Yu Xiaoya should have been thinking about what the reason for her to shirk tonight's agreement was just now. Do you have a new love, or do you want to break with her completely?

Of course, Qi Xiaoming didn't mean to do this, and he was afraid that Yu Xiaoya would misunderstand him. So he explained to Yu Xiaoya in detail: The evening event was made a few days ago, and because of various recent events, this entertainment has been delayed for a while, if he doesn't participate again, I'm afraid it will make the other party feel very rude.

Of course, there was originally an event tonight, which was invited by Song Xiaoxiao.

He rejected Song Xiaoxiao's kindness, and Song Xiaoxiao also wanted to invite Qi Xiaoming and another colleague Ma Yulin to have a meal in the evening, saying that he was learning from Qi Xiaoming, an old comrade, but in fact, he wanted to have more private contact with Qi Xiaoming.

Song Xiaoxiao's daring and daring to love and arrogant demeanor is also something that many people can't control, but Qi Xiaoming likes this kind of girl very much.

Qi Xiaoming recalled those deceptions and lies in the past, and Song Xiaoxiao could be very practical and not pretentious. It's just that this idea can only stop there, I don't dare to really have thoughts about Song Xiaoxiao at all, think about how thick-skinned my old cow has to be to eat tender grass.

At six o'clock in the evening, Qi Xiaoming took a taxi and went straight to the agreed Ninghai Hotel, it is impossible to participate in these dinners without drinking, it is too late to think about not drinking, unless he didn't pick up his wine glass and claim that he doesn't drink.

The hotel's décor and facilities are a bit outdated, but that doesn't hurt its customer base, and the daily rush of guests makes it impossible for the hotel to undergo extensive renovations.

At the same time, more than ten years of careful operation has saved a very good reputation for the hotel, at that time, such a high-end place, the only small town by the sea. Many older people with a certain amount of capital have become accustomed to eating here, and of course the food and service are still impeccable, so this place is still the first choice for government receptions and business elites to eat and talk, and for some, it is an excellent place to show their social status and social connections to the guests.

The young waiter in overalls in the corridor led Qi Xiaoming to the door of the No. 388 private room, and then gently opened the door for Qi Xiaoming.

Qi Xiaoming walked in the door, and the guests at the table all stood up to welcome Ying Xiaoming.

Qi Xiaoming said with a smile, "It's late, let everyone wait for a long time", and quickly looked around the people in the house: there are six people in the house, and the person who is sitting in the main escort position tonight is his old friend, Liu Fei, vice president of the city Hongsheng Construction Company, they met a few years ago because of the construction company group petition incident, at that time the young and promising Qi Xiaoming quickly and decisively stabilized the mood of the workers, and with his final efforts, the workers and the construction company reached a settlement, which not only safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of the workers, and also did not cause significant losses to the construction company.

Liu Fei was involved in the whole process as the manager in charge of the company's project at that time, and after this contact, he found that Qi Xiaoming was worth associating, and of course, it was not ruled out that he had other ideas as a businessman. In his impression, Qi Xiaoming has always been a capable and responsible government official, and at the same time, he is also a person who does not have too many city governments, such a person may not be as promising as a sycophant, but he is affectionate, and he will definitely not fight his own ideas, so in this way, gradually, the two really became good friends.

Liu Fei sat an older man in a black suit on the right hand side of the big guest seat, while the seat of the second guest on the left hand side was empty, presumably reserved for him.

Among the rest of the people, he only recognized that the seat closest to him, that is, near the door, was Liu Fei's deputy Yang Zhengguang, who still sat in the position of deputy every time. He didn't know the remaining three people, they were all the first time he saw them, and his years of work experience made him feel that the temperament of these people was like that of a business person, especially the lady sitting on Yang Zhengguang's right hand, which made him impressed at first sight: maturity beyond age, and the charm of a royal sister.

The young lady with long shawl hair, a cream-white shirt on top, a light gray suit, and a skirt of the same color underneath, she was smiling all the time, exuding the temperament of an urban beauty or a high-end white-collar worker.

It's just that what Qi Xiaoming doesn't understand in his heart is, why did Liu Fei wait for him for so long for today's meal? In other words, this kind of occasion is a gathering within their circle, and they have nothing to do with themselves as government officials! He didn't do much help, he didn't have that much money to do business, and third, civil servants were not allowed to do business.

Liu Fei walked to Qi Xiaoming's side and first briefly introduced Qi Xiaoming's identity to the guests: Iron buddy, section chief of government functional departments. Then he introduced all the guests to Qi Xiaoming.

It turns out that the people invited today are all important partners of Liu Fei's company, and they are also well-known builders and furniture dealers in the city. Qi Xiaoming shook hands with everyone and said a brief greeting.

Finally came to the lady, as the only lady at the table, Liu Fei specially introduced Qi Xiaoming: Zhang Youyou, the president of the city's Red Leaf Furniture Company, has a decoration company and a housekeeping company in his hands, self-made, a celebrity in the circle of years, single.

Qi Xiaoming and Zhang Youyou shook hands gently, he observed correctly, and it was indeed a successful professional woman.

Then Liu Fei turned to Zhang Youyou and said, "Section Chief Qi's current state is also single. Then he showed a sly smile at Qi Xiaoming and Zhang Youyou, and then said: "Then since everyone is so fateful, Mr. Zhang and Section Chief Qi will shake hands again!" Come on, shake hands is a good friend, in the future, Chief Qi will go to buy furniture Zhang will always give a 50% discount. ”

Everyone present was amused, and then Zhang Youyou and Qi Xiaoming stretched out their hands almost at the same time, and the two shook hands again with a smile. This time, Zhang Youyou is even a little shy like a little girl in love for the first time, and it is rare for a female boss who has been in business for a long time to be shy, I am afraid that her emotional experience is relatively simple. And Qi Xiaoming was a little embarrassed in front of so many people, coupled with Liu Fei's words, but he finally understood a little in his heart, no wonder Liu Fei kept inviting himself, it seems that the bureau of Liu Fei's group today has a direct relationship with him and Zhang Youyou, and he can't help but sigh in his heart that the businessman is meticulous.

Brother, I really didn't see it, you are also interesting enough, you have started to worry about marriage for me and become a matchmaker.
