Li Botang laughed and said: "Xiao Chen, you haven't been home for several months. It's hard to see you. If you don't go back, I, the father, will have to come over to see you."
Chen Yi smiled sheepishly, quickly asked him to sit down, and prepared to make tea for him.
Li Botang waved his hand and said: "Xiao Chen, don't make tea. I came to you today to ask you a favor. Make an appointment with Xiao Ye from the first branch. I want to invite him to have dinner with me. He said something, how about you take me to find him,"
Chen Yi has always respected Li Botang. When he saw that he came forward in person to invite Ye Ming, he was embarrassed to shirk it anymore, so he had to respond: "Okay, I will take you down to find him. However, something seems to have happened to him in the past two days." Things are so busy every day, and I don’t know if I can ask him to do anything.”
Chen Yi originally wanted to call Ye Ming to talk about the matter first, but Li Botang said it was not necessary and it would be better to go directly to find him and talk to him face to face. Chen Yi heard what he said and took him directly to find him. Went to Ye Ming's branch director's office.
Ye Ming was revising the report on Kang Genxin's gun-fighting tax case written by the office secretary. When he saw Chen Yi walking in with Li Botang, he had a look of surprise on his face. He quickly stood up and shouted enthusiastically, "Uncle Li." ", and asked him to sit down in his seat.
Li Botang smiled and said: "Xiaoye, you are now the chief of the government. As an uncle, I haven't congratulated you yet. Here's the deal: I have something to ask you tonight and I have booked a private room at Sanduo Jinhua Restaurant. , I hope you appreciate it. Let's go have a drink together. On the one hand, I congratulate you on your promotion. On the other hand, I want to talk about the tax reduction and exemption for my steel factory. By then, I have a few friends who will come over to have dinner together. I'll introduce you to them and we can make friends together."
Ye Ming, like Chen Yi, saw that Li Botang personally invited him, but was unable to accept his favor, so he had no choice but to agree.
Chen Yi secretly exchanged glances with Ye Ming and said, "Zi Zi, please call Qiqi and let her go to dinner together."
Now whenever Chen Yi goes out to eat or play with Ye Ming, she must call Chen Mengqi to avoid others becoming suspicious.
Li Botang guessed that the "Qiqi" Chen Yi mentioned should be Ye Ming's girlfriend, so he said cheerfully: "Xiaoye, you have found a girlfriend, right? It's best to bring your girlfriend with you. Let Xiao Chen also have a female companion,"
Ye Ming nodded, called Chen Mengqi's number, and made an appointment with her to have dinner at "Three Golden Flowers Local Restaurant".
Half an hour later, Li Botang drove Ye Ming and Chen Yi to the Three Golden Flowers Local Restaurant in his Mercedes-Benz. Li Zhi and Chen Mengqi were already waiting at the door.
When they walked into the local restaurant, Xia Feifei, who was standing behind the bar, saw Ye Ming with a look of surprise on her face. She quickly came out of the bar and said to Ye Ming with a smile: "Director Ye, welcome. I haven’t seen Director Ye for a month. You are becoming more and more chic and elegant now. Come on, come on, I will take you to the box."
Chen Mengqi was very wary of the landlady who always looked at Ye Ming with affectionate eyes. As soon as she entered the door, she held Ye Ming's arm tightly, pouted at Xia Feifei as if to demonstrate, and said, "Woman landlady, We are literate and know where the box is, so there is no need to trouble you. You should just go greet your other distinguished guests."
Xia Feifei had long seen that Ye Ming's girlfriend was very jealous, so she didn't care about her and still led them to box number 10 with a smile.
Ye Ming and the others had just walked into the corridor with boxes, when suddenly a man and a woman walked over from the opposite side. The man was in his thirties, short, slightly fat, with a round baby face, and the woman She is tall, with bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as good as snow. She is wearing a pure white down jacket and a pair of tight jeans that highlight the outline of her legs. She looks elegant and charming.
Ye Ming took a closer look at the beautiful girl walking towards him, and found that it was the Xia Jiao who accompanied him at the "Blue Moon KTV" that night.
Xia Jiao also saw Ye Ming walking in the middle of the crowd, and a blush of ecstasy and shyness suddenly flashed across her face. However, this blush was quickly replaced by an expression of annoyance, and she was about to pass by Ye Ming and the others. Then, she suddenly stretched out her right hand, took the arm of the chubby middle-aged man walking with her, and leaned against him at the same time.
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect that Xia Jiao would be so proactive today. He showed a flattered expression and turned to look at Xia Jiao with a smile on his face.
After Chen Mengqi saw the man's face clearly, she suddenly shouted: "Yuan Baiwan, why are you here? Didn't you go to invite people from the Planning Bureau to dinner?"
The middle-aged man was startled. He raised his head and took a closer look at Chen Mengqi, whose head was blocked by Ye Ming at first. A flattering smile immediately appeared on his chubby face. He quickly ran over, held hands with her, and said with a pleasant smile. : "Mr. Chen, hello, hello. I originally made an appointment with Director Zhang from the Planning Bureau to have dinner here, and the private room was reserved. However, he just called again and said that he had something to do and couldn't come. Now, I guess things about our piece of land may be in trouble,"
It turns out that this chubby man in his thirties is Chen Mengqi's current real estate development partner. His surname is Yuan, and his name is Yuan Baiwei. Because he has been in business for many years and has a lot of wealth, everyone who knows him calls him "Yuan Million."
Chen Mengqi heard him say that the land they needed might be lost, and asked a little anxiously: "What's going on? Director Zhang didn't promise well at first. He can coordinate with the leaders of the Land and Resources Bureau and the county government to get the land." Are you selling it to us? Why have you changed your mind again?"
Yuan Wanwan smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Chen, there are great variables in the business world. Not only are we interested in that piece of land, there is also another boss in the county who has a strong background who also wants it. We may not be able to compete with him...anyway, this matter is quite complicated. I can't tell for a while now. When should we talk together specifically? By the way, this handsome guy is,,"
Chen Mengqi saw his eyes looking at Ye Ming beside her, so she leaned against him, with a sweet smile on her face, and said openly: "This is my boyfriend, his name is Ye Ming, he is a county land tax collector." Bureau,”
Yuan Baiwan hurriedly clasped his fists, cupped his hands towards Ye Ming, and said: "Disrespect, disrespect."
Xia Jiao, who was beside him, heard Chen Mengqi introduce Ye Ming as her boyfriend, and saw that Chen Mengqi had a pretty face, pure and refined, and seemed to be a perfect match for Ye Ming. She felt sad and disappointed in her heart, and her face suddenly turned pale. abnormal,
