Xiao Fei is not a person who likes to brag and show off, and he is even more disgusted with those people and things who pull tiger skins to make big banners, so he didn't want to tell Zhou Changming and others about his true relationship with Secretary Zhou.

However, he found that this Zhou Changming looked down on himself a little, and sometimes deliberately embarrassed himself, making himself feel a little hurt and embarrassed in front of the three beauties, but it was not good to turn his face with him......

Sure enough, when he heard that Xiao Fei's father and Secretary Zhou were old comrades-in-arms and had saved Secretary Zhou's life, Zhou Changming suddenly let out an "oh", and the smile on his face that was about to disappear brightened again, and suddenly stood up, picked up the red wine glass on the table, and said in an unusually affectionate tone: "Xiao Xiao, I salute you, I wish you a smooth work, a bright future, and a high step!" ”

Xiao Fei saw that he bowed slightly during the toast, put on a humble posture, and the reserved and indifferent look on his face was also swept away, knowing that what he had just said had played a role, he secretly admired his ability to bend and stretch, and also stood up and toasted with him.

Xia Ying had been watching from the sidelines, and when she saw Zhou Changming's attitude towards Xiao Fei change, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't say anything, but when Xiao Fei and Zhou Changming finished drinking the glass of wine and sat down, she suddenly stretched out her slender jade fingers and pinched him the knee of his right leg, expressing his dissatisfaction with showing off his relationship with Secretary Zhou in front of so many people......

Xiao Fei had just sat back in the chair, and suddenly felt a pain in the knee of his right leg, and when he turned his head, Xia Ying was staring at him with a pair of watery eyes, and immediately understood that she was warning herself not to mention the matter with Secretary Zhou again, so she had to shake her head with a wry smile, and touched the pinched part of her leg with her hand, thinking to herself that this beautiful political commissar who looks cold and proud, how can she sometimes behave like a rude and willful little girl?

Fortunately, at this time, Su Lishu and Li Tao were competing for Zhou Changming's wine, and no one paid attention to Xia Ying and Xiao Fei's small movements.

Zhou Changming met Xiao Fei, a "nobleman", today, he was in a good mood, and after a few drinks with Su Lishu and Li Tao with great interest, he suddenly wanted to smoke, so he took out the pack of "Yellow Crane Tower 1916" from his handbag again, stood up, took out one first and handed it to Xiao Fei, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, let's smoke a cigarette." These three ladies are used to smoking, and they don't care. ”

When Xiao Fei took the cigarette he handed over, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and asked Xia Ying with a smile: "Xiao Ying, Xiao Xiao sent me a cigarette just now, I put it on the coffee table, didn't you throw it in the trash!" To be honest, the yellow-billed hibiscus king smoke has the most mellow taste and the best texture, and I usually like to smoke it. It's just that sometimes when I get together with friends, everyone smokes more expensive cigarettes such as 'Yellow Crane Tower 1916' and 'He Tianxia', so I can't avoid vulgarity. Xiao Xiao, you won't blame me for not smoking the cigarette you handed me just now! Hahaha! ”

Xiao Fei knew that he was trying his best to get close to him now, so he smiled generously and said, "Director Zhou, I completely understand!" Although Qingyuan County is a small place, but the consumption level is very high, everyone's comparison psychology is also very serious, as long as a little money or a little bit of identity people, when friends gather, they will not smoke more than 20 yuan a pack of yellow-mouthed hibiscus king, the worst is more than 40 yuan a pack of Chinese cigarettes. You are the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and it is understandable that you should bring a pack of cigarettes when you go out to a party, so as not to be looked down upon by those snobs. ”

Zhou Changming nodded again and again and said, "Indeed, Xiao Xiao's words are to the point, thank you for your understanding!" ”

Then, he turned to Li Tao and said, "Xiao Li, please go to the coffee table in the living room and bring the cigarette that Xiao Xiao just handed me, I still have a good time smoking it!" ”

Li Tao hurriedly got up and took the yellow-mouthed hibiscus king cigarette that Zhou Changming casually threw on the coffee table just now, Zhou Changming lit the cigarette butt and smoked it with taste.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Xia Ying suddenly glanced sideways at Xiao Fei, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xiaozi, you tell me honestly: when you were talking to Secretary Zhou on the phone just now, a girl told you for a while, is she your girlfriend?" ”

Xiao Fei didn't expect her to suddenly ask this question, she was a little caught off guard, and subconsciously shook her head and said, "No, she is just an ordinary college classmate of mine, and now she works in the budget department of the Provincial Department of Finance." ”

Xia Ying looked at him a little disbelievingly, with a sneering expression of insight on her face, and asked again: "One morning ten days ago, when I was at work, I saw a girl coming out of your room with a travel bag on her back, is that girl the female classmate who just talked to you on the phone?" Although that girl is not very beautiful, she looks very temperamental, very intellectual beauty, she stayed at your house for the night, don't tell me that you are ordinary classmates or friends! ”

Xiao Fei saw that she was chasing after her, and mentioned the incident of meeting Chen Qingfu more than ten days ago, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and wanted to deny it but had no confidence, so he had to explain with a red face: "Political Commissar Xia, the girl you met that morning was indeed the female classmate who just talked to me on the phone, but I really have an ordinary classmate relationship with her. That time, she came to visit the Shuangxiong Mountain Scenic Area, and came to see me by the way. We chatted late at night, so she slept right at my house. ”

Su Lishu was very surprised when she saw Xia Ying asking Xiao Fei about Xiao Fei and a girl in a thorough manner, and couldn't help but stare at her a few times, seeing that she had been staring at Xiao Fei, her face was crimson and her eyes were burning, like a jealous girl torturing her cheating boyfriend, she suddenly realized something in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile......

At this time, the people at the table had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiao Fei took the initiative to stand up and clean up the tableware and leftovers on the table in order to avoid being asked about him and Chen Qingfu by Xia Ying again.

Xia Ying was about to get up and clean up the table with Xiao Fei, when Zhou Changming suddenly smiled and said to her: "Xiao Ying, you come with me to stand on the balcony for a while, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Xia Ying immediately guessed what he was going to "discuss" with herself, so she took him to the balcony and closed the glass door between the balcony and the bedroom casually, so that no one outside could hear the conversation between her and Zhou Changming.

When the two stood still face to face, Zhou Changming looked at Xia Ying with eager eyes and said, "Xiaoying, uncle wants to ask you for a favor." ”

Xia Ying asked knowingly, "Cousin, how can I help you?" Just say, as long as I can help, I will do my best. ”
