Xia Bicheng knew that his daughter was making excuses, so he deliberately kept it insincerely and said, "Chuchu, do you just don't like to eat with your father's guests? Well, you tell your mother and said I would invite a comrade from the Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau to come to her house for dinner, and ask her to cook a few more dishes and prepare a bottle of good wine. I want to have a good drink with this guest later. Oh, sorry, I originally wanted you to have a drink with this comrade, but your colleague celebrates his birthday, so you should go and accompany your colleague."
When Xia Chuchu heard the words "Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau", she immediately asked in a conditioned manner: "Who is a comrade from Xinleng County Local Taxation Bureau? Do I recognize him?"
Xia Bicheng deliberately pondered for a moment before he slowly said: "Of course you know. The guest I want to invite tonight is Ye Ming."
When Xia Chuchu heard that the guest his father invited so seriously was his sweetheart, she was surprised and surprised. She shouted in surprise and fuss there: "Dad, are you doing it on purpose? By the way, have you made an appointment with Ye Ming, that country bumpkin? Did he agree to come over?"
"I haven't made an appointment yet, because I don't know his phone number."
Xia Chuchu couldn't wait to say, "Dad, please remember it, I'll tell you his phone number... By the way, he is at Uncle Li's house now. You can call quickly. If it's a while, he will have supper, and it will be late."
Xia Bicheng heard her impatient tone and laughed again, saying in a teasing tone: "Chuchu, why did you hear that you were invited Ye Ming? You are so enthusiastic and impatient? Aren't you going to your colleague for a birthday party? Tell me the phone number and go out quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the birthday party."
Xia Chuchu was touched by her father, and she was stunned for a while on the other end of the phone, and said coquettishly: "Dad, when did you become so bad? Didn't you deliberately look at my joke? Why didn't you tell me that the country bumpkin Ye Ming was invited today. If I were invited someone else, I wouldn't be interested in accompanying you. But the country bumpkin Ye Ming is my good friend. If you invite him today, I will give him a face and not attend my colleague's birthday party. Let's have a drink with him... By the way, when you go home, remember to buy a bottle of red wine from the convenience store outside. I can't drink white wine."
It turned out that Xia Chuchu didn't know that his father had already arrived at Secretary Lu's office to talk about her marriage with Ye Ming, and she thought he didn't know that he wanted to get engaged to Ye Ming, so she kept talking about "landscape" and pretended that it was okay. Xia Bicheng wanted to laugh, so she agreed quickly and urged her to ask Ye Ming's mobile phone number.
After recording Ye Ming's mobile phone number, Xia Bicheng chatted with Xia Chuchu for a few more words, then hung up her phone and dialed Ye Ming's number.
After the phone was connected, Xia Bicheng said in a very enthusiastic and affectionate tone: "Is Xiaoye? I am Xia Bicheng."
Ye Ming never spoke to Xia Bicheng on the phone. When he heard him telling his own house, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Director Xia, hello, I am Ye Ming."
"Where are you now? Are you at Secretary Li's house?"
"Yes, I was just helping Aunt Li Jingya choose vegetables."
"Okay, okay, young people, especially young men, must learn to do some housework, which is very beneficial to promoting family harmony in the future, hahaha."
After the three calls, Xia Bicheng began to get back to the topic: "Xiao Ye, it's like this: Chuchu just told me that you have been in the provincial capital these days, and she wanted to formally invite you to my house for a meal. The last time you went to my house, but that time, there was Secretary-General Wang's son there, so it was not officially invited. Moreover, the last time I didn't have time to drink a few glasses of wine with you because of outsiders present. Today, Chuchu's proposal happened to be Chuchu's proposal. I highly agree and warmly welcome you, a talented man from the local tax system, a young role model, to visit my house. Just now, my Chuchu's mother bought a few more good dishes and prepared a bottle of good wine. Then we have a few glasses. Chuchu also said: You came to my house today, she is very happy and is planning to make an exception to drink some red wine as a companion. How about it, are you here now?
At this time, in Xia Bicheng's mind, Ye Ming was already the young master of the provincial party secretary Lu Zhiyao, the real young master of the first family in Tianjiang, and his future son-in-law to ride the dragon. Therefore, his attitude now seems very sincere and his attitude is very low, making Ye Ming feel like he is falling into a mist: What is going on? Director Xia, who was always lukewarm and even looked down on him, has become so humble and so enthusiastic now?
After being confused for a while while grabbing the scalp, Ye Ming finally realized: At this moment, the person who enthusiastically invited him to visit his house was the top leader of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau and the immediate boss of his immediate boss. He must not lose his etiquette.
So he quickly replied: "Director Xia, thank you for your kind invitation. I will come here in half an hour and I will definitely have a few drinks with you."
"Okay, OK, then let's just say that. Chuchu and I are waiting for you at my house."
After calling Ye Ming, Xia Bicheng put the phone on the desk, rubbed his palms excitedly, and then turned around the office a few times, hummed a few Peking Opera, looked up at the clock on the opposite wall, and saw that it was almost half past five, he packed up his briefcase, walked out of the office, took the elevator downstairs, and walked out of the office building with a nod and bowed greeting. He called the office director and asked him to buy himself a bottle of better red wine to deliver to his home. He emphasized that the bottle of wine was paid for by himself. After receiving the continuous approval from the office director, he quickly walked home.
When she opened the living room door, Xia Chuchu was already waiting at the door of the living room with a smile on her face, and for the first time, she personally found a pair of slippers for him. The words "Dad" in her mouth were also very sweet.
Xia Bicheng knew that she was very happy and excited because she invited Ye Ming to dinner today. Then she took her slippers diligently and said with a smile: "Chuchu, I remember that since you were in high school, you have never been obedient and have never come to the living room to greet your father. What kind of good wind has happened today that makes you start to be so intimate with your father again, hahaha."
Xia Chuchu's face was filled with a happy smile, and she grimaced at him and said, "Dad, if you often invite Ye Ming to dinner, I will pick you up at the living room door every day and prepare slippers for you every day. By the way, what about my red wine, why have you forgotten?"
