After visiting the ancient street, the two went to Haidilao and happened to encounter them, so they went in to have hot pot.
After sitting down and ordering the dishes, Xiaotao looked at Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, would you like some wine?"
"Can."
"White beer?"
"Red."
"Okay, I'd like a bottle of red wine and I'll drink it with you."
So Qiao Liang asked for a bottle of red wine, and then looked at Xiao Tao: "Have you ever drank red wine?"
"I have. Secretary An sometimes drinks some red wine before going to bed. He says it helps him sleep. After pouring it for him, I sometimes drink some secretly."
"The red wine Secretary An drinks is very high-end, right?"
"I don't know about this. Anyway, there are incomprehensible letters on the wine bottles. Hey, the red wine is quite delicious. When Secretary An is not at home, I sometimes drink a glass of it."
"Okay, you steal Secretary An's wine and I'll tell her later." Qiao Liang made a face.
Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then became nervous: "Hey, Brother Qiao, don't. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, don't tell Secretary An, he will be unhappy if he knows."
Qiao Liang smiled secretly: "It's okay to let me keep it a secret, but..."
"But what?"
"But you have to drink with me tonight."
"What's the best way to drink? I'm not a big drinker." Xiao Tao said eagerly.
"I don't want you to get drunk, just stop in moderation."
"That's no problem, I'll do my best."
"Well, since you have a good attitude, I won't say anything."
"Hehe, Brother Qiao, you are so kind." Xiao Tao felt relieved.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and the two of them were simmering and drinking. The waiter was waiting attentively. Xiao Tao kept praising her. She didn't expect there to be a hot pot restaurant with such excellent service.
After a while Qiao Liang said: "Xiao Tao, do you care whether Secretary An is happy or not?"
"Of course, needless to say, you don't care?" Xiao Tao said while eating.
"I care, I care very much. I'm afraid that Secretary An won't be happy if I don't do anything well." Qiao Liang told the truth.
"But I think Secretary An seems quite satisfied with you."
"How did you tell?"
"It feels like that."
"Why can't I feel it?"
"You must know it's a lie, you just don't say it." Xiao Tao curled her lips.
"Is Secretary An satisfied with you?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
"Very satisfied? How did you know?"
"He said it himself. Secretary An often praises me at home." Xiao Tao said proudly.
"Oh..." Qiao Liang was slightly startled. An Zhe rarely praised his subordinates in public. She had been with him for so long, and the number of times he had been praised by him was very rare. Being praised once was like celebrating the New Year. I didn't expect that he
Don't hesitate to praise Xiaotao often.
They are all working with him. Isn't this distribution too unfair? How much should I give to myself? Qiao Liang felt a little unbalanced.
Then Qiao Liang realized that because he and Xiao Tao had different identities, Anzhe naturally required different standards. He praised Xiao Tao so much, which should be regarded as a kind of closeness to the people. But he was not a citizen, and he was also an official. He asked himself
Gao, naturally he won't praise easily.
When I think about it this way, I feel balanced.
After finishing a bottle of red wine, Qiao Liang drank three-quarters and Xiao Tao drank a quarter.
Although Xiaotao didn't drink much, she did try her best and her face was flushed.
Then eat.
After eating, the two left Haidilao and went directly back to the hotel.
When they got downstairs, Qiao Liang saw that An Zhe's car was not there, and knew that Zhao Qiang saw that his old classmate had not returned yet.
Going upstairs to the door of the room, Xiao Tao looked at Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, what are you planning to do now?"
"What about you?" Qiao Liang asked Xiao Tao.
"I don't know."
"Not sleepy?"
"I slept all afternoon, and I'm not sleepy at all." Xiao Tao first had enough sleep in the afternoon, and secondly, she drank red wine in the evening, and her eyes looked very excited.
Qiao Liang was not tired at this time and thought for a moment: "How about I take you to a bar to dance?"
"I can't play that, that's An Ran's specialty." Xiao Tao laughed.
"How about going to the movies?"
Xiaotao looked at the time: "It's a bit late."
"Then you should just stay in your room and watch TV." Qiao Liang said.
"Watching TV all the time is boring." Xiao Tao thought for a moment, "How about we go to your room to drink tea and chat?"
“The tea in the hotel is not good. I forgot to bring tea.”
Xiao Tao chuckled: "I brought some good tea to give Secretary An to drink on the way, but I didn't use it."
Qiao Liang also smiled. Xiao Tao was very careful in doing things, no wonder Lao An often praised her.
"Okay, come to my room for tea."
"Well, I'm going to get some tea." Xiao Tao entered the room.
Not long after Qiao Liang returned to the room, Xiao Tao came in with tea leaves, and then boiled water to make tea.
Seeing Xiao Tao working very efficiently, Qiao Liang sat on the sofa and secretly thought, if anyone can marry such a woman, it will be like finding a good housekeeper and a good nanny.
Of course, Xiao Tao's delicate skin, slim figure, and those two proud big balls will naturally make men enjoy the fragrance of meat.
After a while, the tea was brewed, and Xiao Tao brought it to Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, try it. This is a very expensive tea. We will benefit from Secretary An tonight."
Qiao Liang took it and took a sip, nodded, yes, it tastes really good.
Then Xiaotao also sat down and looked at Qiao Liang: "Brother Qiao, where do you think Secretary An got all these good teas?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Qiao Liang said.
"I'm just asking you, not anyone else."
"How do I know? You've been at Secretary An's house all day. Didn't anyone go to Secretary An's house to give gifts?"
"Yes, and there are quite a few."
"Oh..." Qiao Liang looked up at Xiao Tao and blinked, "Who are the people giving gifts? What are they giving?"
Xiao Tao shook her head: "I don't even know the person who gave the gift, and I don't even know what it is."
"No way? It's understandable if you don't know the person who gave the gift, but you don't know what the gift is?" Qiao Liang didn't believe it.
"Really, because Secretary An has given instructions that no matter whether he is at home or not, as long as someone comes to give gifts, they are not allowed to enter and no one is allowed to accept anything. That's why I was curious about where Secretary An's good tea comes from."
Qiao Liang nodded, seeing that Xiao Tao didn't look like she was lying. It seemed that An Zhe was very careful in this regard and had strict rules for Xiao Tao.
"Isn't this easy to explain? You bought the good tea from Secretary An's house by yourself?" Qiao Liang said.
"Secretary An is really willing to spend his own money to buy such expensive tea," Xiao Tao said.
Qiao Liang secretly laughed, silly girl, how can the leaders drink tea these days with their own money? An Zhe's good tea must have been given by others, it just didn't pass through Xiao Tao's hands.
As for who sent tea to Anzhe, it's hard to say. It might be a relative, a friend, or a classmate.
However, no matter who sends it, accepting some tea leaves is not a big problem. These days, I have never heard of any official being found out for accepting tea leaves.
After drinking tea for a while, Xiao Tao thought about how happy she was to have dinner tonight, and she kept praising Haidilao's service and said it opened her eyes.
"The service is endless," Qiao Liang said.
"What does endless mean?" Xiao Tao asked.
“It’s about constantly improving service quality and content.”
Xiaotao thought for a moment: "Brother Qiao, I also serve Secretary An. What do you think I should do to improve my service level?"
Qiao Liang couldn't help but want to laugh: "This is simple, serve him well and meet all Secretary An's requirements."
"All the requests..." Xiao Tao murmured, her face suddenly turned red.
