Chapter 27: The Deputy Director of the End Shelf
After Li Tao said the words "This young man is so handsome", Zhou Changming couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, with a look of displeasure on his face, and this look happened to fall into Xiao Fei's eyes.
From this, Xiao Fei speculated: This Deputy Director Zhou is eating dry vinegar! Although it can't be proved that there is any ambiguous relationship between him and Li Tao, it is certain that he prefers Li Tao......
Xia Ying may have noticed something abnormal, and hurriedly said to Li Tao: "Peach, Xiao Xiao lives opposite me, but it is his friend's house, he borrowed it temporarily, and it hasn't been long since he moved here, so you haven't seen him." ”
Xiao Fei smiled at Li Tao, took out a pack of yellow-billed Hibiscus King cigarettes from his pants pocket, took out one and handed it to Zhou Changming, and said humbly: "Director Zhou, you smoke a cigarette." ”
Zhou Changming raised his eyes and glanced at the cigarette case in his hand, took the cigarette, threw it on the coffee table, and then took out a pack of "Yellow Crane Tower 1916" from his handbag, popped out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter, and then leaned back comfortably on the back seat of the sofa, closed his eyes slightly and began to swallow the clouds......
Xia Ying saw that Zhou Changming deliberately neglected Xiao Fei, knowing that he thought that Xiao Fei was just an ordinary cadre of the Local Taxation Bureau, and he was almost dealt with by the Public Security Bureau, and he was still kind to him, so he looked down on Xiao Fei a little in his heart, and Li Tao praised Xiao Fei for being handsome just now, which made him very unhappy, so he deliberately did not smoke the cigarette that Xiao Feijing gave him, intending to embarrass him.
So, she secretly pulled Xiao Fei's hand, signaled him not to mind, and then set up the dishes, chopsticks and dishes, everyone poured a small half glass of red wine, and then toasted and ate to each other together.
Tonight's menu has changed slightly compared to last night, retaining the two dishes that Xia Ying praised "taro pork ribs" and "large slices of beef", replacing "chopped pepper fish head" with "boiled live fish", and adding a "small fried river three fresh" and a "flower pork belly soup".
After Su Lishu and Li Tao took a sip of wine, they immediately couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and tasted every dish, and the two of them gave a thumbs up almost at the same time, and exclaimed: "It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Yingying, it seems that you are not bragging, this little handsome guy's fried dishes are indeed delicious, and the taste of this taro pork ribs and large slices of beef is especially outstanding, much better than those so-called special chefs in big hotels! ”
Xia Ying saw that the two best friends couldn't stop praising Xiao Fei's craftsmanship, she was secretly proud in her heart, glanced at Xiao Fei with charming eyes, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Xiaoshu, Peach, don't exalt him too much!" This guy usually likes to brag about himself, and often boasts about how good his craftsmanship is, and belongs to a typical cowhide king who shines when he gives a little sunshine. If you praise him a few more times, I'm afraid he will float to the ceiling. ”
Xiao Fei said with a smile: "Political Commissar Xia, I said that I am a good cook, not bragging, don't wronged me!" ”
Zhou Changming is also a gourmand who likes delicious food, after tasting the two dishes of "taro pork ribs" and "large slices of beef", he couldn't help shouting "delicious" in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth, just slightly bowed his head to indicate that the dish tasted good, and his originally tense face gradually relaxed. When Xiao Fei toasted him, although he was still holding the shelf, he finally raised his glass and touched him, and it didn't embarrass him again.
The next atmosphere was quite harmonious, although because of Xiao Fei's presence, Zhou Changming had been holding the shelf, but Su Lishu and Li Tao were the same as Xia Ying, their personalities were bold and straightforward, and Xiao Fei's fried dishes tasted really good, so the three of them had been toasting and joking with each other. During this period, Xiao Fei also interjected a few words from time to time, or told a small joke, which made them laugh, and Li Tao also praised him several times for his talent, humor, and a romantic talent who cultivated both inside and outside......
When the wine was drunk, Xiao Fei's mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he looked at the caller ID, it showed the words "Secretary Zhou".
Xiao Fei subconsciously glanced at Xia Ying, then opened the answer button and said, "Hello Secretary Zhou." ”
As soon as Xia Ying heard the words "Secretary Zhou", she immediately turned her gaze and stared at Xiao Fei for a moment, her face full of doubts.
Zhou Changming and the others didn't know who the "Secretary Zhou" Xiao Fei was talking about, so they didn't care, but they all stopped talking out of politeness, and there was only the sound of Xiao Fei talking on the phone in the entire restaurant.
"Xiaofei, I'm in the provincial capital now, and I'm having dinner with a few friends from the Budget Department of the Department of Finance. There is a beautiful lady next to me who said that she is a college classmate with you and wants to say a few words to you, can you guess who it is? ”
Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, am I talking about Chen Qingfu?" She was indeed my college classmate and now works in the budget department of the provincial finance department. ”
"Yes, yes, that's Comrade Chen Qingfu. Just now she told me that one of her classmates works in the Local Taxation Bureau of Qingyuan County, Chuzhong City, and that she also visited your old classmate in Qingyuan County not long ago. I said what a coincidence, you are the son of my comrade-in-arms, and I was climbing the mountain with you in Qingyuan County last night! But Comrade Chen Qingfu didn't believe it at all, saying that I was joking, and asked me to use my mobile phone to call you, so I called you, hahaha! ”
Xiao Fei just wanted to speak, and Chen Qingfu's surprised voice suddenly came from the earpiece: "Xiao Fei, is it really you?" How can it be so coincidental? Just now Secretary Zhou said that he knew you, and he climbed the mountain with you last night, I thought he was joking! ”
Xiao Fei smiled: "Secretary Zhou is not joking, he really climbed the mountain with me last night, and we blew the mountain wind on the top of the mountain for half an hour together!" ”
Chen Qingfu also laughed, and said in a teasing tone: "You guy is deeply hidden, Secretary Zhou has just been in Chuzhong for three months, and he remembers you as a little friend, it seems that I underestimated your communication skills before!" By the way, when will you come to the provincial capital to invite me to dinner? Why don't you come over tomorrow, it happens that tomorrow is Saturday, and Secretary Zhou is also here, how about you invite me to have dinner with Secretary Zhou? ”
Xiao Fei hurriedly said: "Not tomorrow, I asked a few friends to go camping in the Shuangxiong Mountain Scenic Area, and I won't be able to come back until the day after tomorrow." Next time, next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to the provincial capital to invite you. ”
Chen Qingfu let out an "oh" in a little disappointment, and said faintly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over next time when you're free, you have to remember this promise!" ”
Then, Xiao Fei heard Zhou Chengjie's voice on his mobile phone again: "Xiao Fei, Xiao Chen invited you to come over tomorrow so warmly, why do you have something else?" Can't we just postpone or change the time? ”
