On the day that Minister Sima talked to Xiao Zheng for the first time, Xiao Zheng, He Xue, and Ma Kai were having dinner by the West Lake. It was originally agreed that He Xue would invite Xiao Zheng that day, but after the three of them had dinner, it was Xiao Zheng who took the lead.
Paid the bill. He Xue said at first that she would have to pay the bill next time, and Xiao Zheng was not allowed to rush to pay the bill secretly again.
Is it possible that this Hangzhou girl still remembers this?
Xiao Zheng said: "It's getting late, wouldn't it be a good idea to call He Xue out at this time?" The last time Xiao Zheng had dinner with He Xue, he noticed that He Xue seemed to have feelings for him, was interesting, and often talked to him
Will eating together with her cause misunderstanding to her?
Now Xiao Zheng has been to the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family did not immediately agree to him and Xiao Jingyu receiving the certificate, as long as nothing happens to Xiao Zheng in the next year or two, he and Xiao Jingyu will eventually get married. So, from now on,
, Xiao Zheng must not cause misunderstandings to other girls!
However, Ma Kai said: "What time is it now? It's not too late. Besides, it won't be long before I go to aid Ning! I don't know how long it will be before I can see you again! He Xue knows this, so he must
Will come out. Even though He Xue is spoiled and can't bear the pain, this woman is quite righteous."
Xiao Zheng wanted to tell Ma Kai that the person who wanted to help Ning was not just him, Ma Kai, but also Xiao Zheng. However, the ins and outs of this matter were too laborious to explain, so he was not in a hurry to talk about it on the phone.
Later, while drinking and chatting, it can be considered as adding some food to accompany the late night snack. Xiao Zheng said: "If you want to call her, you can do it yourself."
"Brother, do you have a guilty conscience? Did something happen with He Xue?" Ma Kai showed extremely rare "sensitivity" on the other end. Xiao Zheng immediately denied: "What nonsense are you talking about? He Xue and I don't know anything.
No." Ma Kai smiled and said: "The explanation is just a cover-up! Can't you tell me that I can't tell? When we were in Ninggan, the way He Xue looked at you was a little different!"
I didn’t expect that a traitor like Ma Kai would be so observant! Could it be that his careless and heartless look was just an act? Thinking about it again, if this guy can sneak into the position of director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, he can be regarded as a good person.
He has carved a bloody path in the officialdom of the provincial department. How is it possible to say that he is a complete novice? He must have his own way of survival!
Xiao Zheng said bluntly: "No matter what you say, I will never admit it!" Ma Kai said: "Hey, you are cheating, right?!" Xiao Zheng said again: "Whatever you think
"Anyway, I won't take the initiative to call He Xue." He Xue is quite good as an ordinary friend. He is the deputy director of an important department of the provincial department. He has a well-off family and a good taste in personal clothing. He just can't bear hardships and is a bit squeamish.
, as ordinary friends, what does this mean? However, it is impossible for Xiao Zheng to further develop a relationship with He Xue. Therefore, things that can easily cause misunderstandings must not be done!
Ma Kai had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng, so he said: "Then I will call He Xue. But there is another person, you come and help me call." Xiao Zheng was surprised: "Who else?" Ma Kai said: "
Gu Cuiping, Team Leader Gu." Xiao Zheng was startled: "Team Leader Gu, how is it possible for you to ask her to come out for supper at this time? It's not like you don't know Team Leader Gu!" Ma Kai said with a smile.
: "I understand. Team leader Gu is very principled. However, no matter how much team leader Gu talks about principles, she is also a human being. If others ask her to come out, she will definitely not come out. But we are different. We all follow
She has been to Ninggan, maybe she will treat her differently? Anyway, brother, you make your own choice, either you call He Xue, or you call Team Leader Gu!"
Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Aren't you giving people a problem?" Ma Kai said: "This is not a problem, this is a fair trade! You hit one, and I will hit one too. If you are afraid of Team Leader Gu, just give
He Xuetai!"
"What are you afraid of!" Rather than let He Xue misunderstand, he would rather call Team Leader Gu. It doesn't matter if he is rejected. Xiao Zheng said: "I'll call Team Leader Gu!"
"Haha, I knew you would choose to call Team Leader Gu." Ma Kai looked like his conspiracy had succeeded, "To be honest, I didn't dare to call Team Leader Gu myself. However, this time to aid Ning,
I still have to rely on Team Leader Gu to protect me! Don't you think so? So, I have to ask you to come forward and invite me." Xiao Zheng said: "Ma Kai, I really misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be quite insidious!
"
But Ma Kai smiled and changed the subject: "Don't just talk to me, go inside and see if there are any private rooms?" "Wait a minute!" Xiao Zheng ran in and asked the owner of the tavern.
The answer was that there was one box left, and someone might come at any time. Xiao Zheng said, "We want this box." Ma Kai said, "That's good. You tell the boss that it's me, Ma Kai, who's coming.
Ask him to order some delicious food for five or six people." Xiao Zheng said: "I understand." Ma Kai said: "The private room has been reserved, please call quickly." Xiao Zheng said: "Okay, I understand."
.Why are you so anxious? But if I say something ugly in front of you, Team Leader Gu may not accept my invitation."
Ma Kai said: "I don't blame you for this. You just call."
After hanging up the phone with Ma Kai, Xiao Zheng said a few words to the tavern owner. When the young boss heard that it was Director Ma, he became polite to Xiao Zheng and said, "I will prepare the menu. What does he want to eat?"
I know as well as his stomach. Just go inside and sit and drink tea!" While calling the waiter to lead Xiao Zheng to the box, he also ordered the waiter to serve barley tea.
Xiao Zheng arrived at the box and saw that although the room was small, the floors and walls were all made of solid wood, creating a rather warm feeling in this winter. Xiao Zheng closed the box door and dialed Team Leader Gu's number.
Team leader Gu is serious and a bit old-fashioned, and he has been engaged in disciplinary inspection and supervision work for many years. I am afraid he will not like this kind of late night entertainment.
So when he made this call, Xiao Zheng was really a little uneasy.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered it. Xiao Zheng thought to himself, maybe Team Leader Gu has already fallen asleep at this moment, so it's better not to disturb others' rest!
Xiao Zheng was about to hang up the phone when a voice suddenly came from the other side: "Hello, is this County Magistrate Xiao?" Xiao Zheng was surprised that Team Leader Gu actually answered the phone. He immediately said: "Yes, Team Leader Gu,
I haven’t seen you for a while!” Team leader Gu’s voice was slightly joyful: “Yes, I heard that County Magistrate Xiao has also been straightened up during this period. Congratulations.” Xiao Zheng said: “Thank you, team leader Gu.
.Today, I would like to invite Team Leader Gu to come out and have a chat in the evening, is that okay? If Team Leader Gu has already taken a rest, I won’t bother you."
Without thinking, Team Leader Gu said, "Okay. Are you in Hangzhou? Where is it? I'll take a taxi over here." Xiao Zheng told Team Leader Gu where he was in the tavern, and he wanted to explain which street it was.
, which lane. Team leader Gu said: "I know this store. I'll be there in twenty minutes." Xiao Zheng said: "See you there or not."
After putting down the phone, Xiao Zheng was still a little confused. He really didn't expect that he could invite team leader Gu so easily. It seems that the saying "people should not be judged by their appearance" is true. Sometimes a person looks quite old-fashioned and quite...
Serious, but that's just her appearance, her protective color, maybe she's quite enthusiastic on the inside!
Xiao Zheng didn't know what was going on at Ma Kai's side? Xiao Zheng didn't rush him. After a while, homemade cold dishes such as peanuts, cold cucumbers, vinegar fungus, etc. came, as did the drinks.
Xiao Zheng drank tea lightly and waited. After a while, the box door was pushed open and two people came in, it was Ma Kai and He Xue. Ma Kai wore a brown leather coat with a black turtleneck sweater underneath.
Her hair was combed back without any mess, and she said with a smile on her face: "Xiao Zheng, I helped you invite our Miss He here! How can you thank me?"
What helped Xiao Zheng invite He Xue here! Xiao Zheng really didn’t know how Ma Kai called He Xue and what he said to He Xue on the way?
Looking at He Xue again, I saw that she was looking at him with a smile. Perhaps because she was stirred by the cold wind outside the house, the blood rushed to her face, making He Xue's cheeks rosy and white, as if in the snow.
As pretty as a plum blossom. She said: "Let's agree first, I will treat you today." He Xue still remembered that Xiao Zheng paid the bill last time.
In this regard, He Xue is different from many delicate Hangzhou girls. Many young girls are proud of eating men, but He Xue takes the initiative to treat guests. Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Today is Ma Kai's treat, and we all
Eat his food, you don’t have to worry about He Xue, you can invite him next time.”
Ma Kai smiled and said: "Since He Xue wants to grab it, I have no objection."
But He Xue said now: "Since Director Ma pays the bill, it's not easy for me to rob him." After saying that, he sat down next to Xiao Zheng with a smile. Xiao Zheng instantly smelled a sense of resignation.
The fragrance that makes people happy.
Ma Kai sat down opposite, picked up the tea cup and asked: "Xiao Zheng, have you called Team Leader Gu? How is it? Are you coming?" Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "Team Leader Gu has come out from home, I guess.
It's almost there." Ma Kai was happy when he heard that, "We still have to have County Magistrate Xiao step in! Team leader Gu immediately gave him face! The most pity now is that neither of you will go to aid Ning. Otherwise, if we go together, we will definitely
It’s fun!”
He Xue said: "Among the people we went to Ninggan to inspect last time, you were the only one, Ma Kai, who went there alone? Wasn't there also Jiang Xiaohui from the Poverty Alleviation Office? Her hometown is in Ninggan, will she go?" Ma Kai said: "
I don’t know about this. This girl is not very proactive and has never contacted me.”
Xiao Zheng said: "I seemed to see her on Nanshan Road this afternoon. But I was busy at the time, so I didn't stop to talk to her." Ma Kai said: "How about I call her out too?" He Xue said
"I have no objection." Xiao Zheng was also very concerned about this girl and said, "Okay, if she is willing to come out." Ma Kai was an enthusiastic person, and he immediately took out his mobile phone: "I'll give it to Jiang Xiaohui.
Call up."
"No need to call, I'm bringing Xiaohui with me." A cold female voice came from the door of the box. There was no doubt that this was Gu Cuiping's voice.
