Ye Ming heard that Gong Zhichao said that he would be the one to invite Captain Chen and Director Liang, and said hurriedly: "Brother Chao, let me treat this guest. Although I am a working-class person who earns a dead salary, I can still treat him occasionally. "
Gong Zhichao waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. My idea is: you owe Captain Chen and Director Liang a favor, but this favor is owed to me, so this guest should It's up to me to invite you, otherwise, I'll feel really bad."
When Ye Ming heard what she said, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Gong Zhichao could move his lips, as if he still had something to say to Ye Ming, but he seemed to have remembered something again and swallowed the words again.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Ye Ming asked a little strangely: "Brother Chao, do you have anything else to do? We are brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hesitate."
Gong Zhichao nodded and said: "It's like this: The four brothers of mine proposed to see if we could go over to toast Director Liang and Captain Chen while they were eating, toast them a glass of wine, and express our feelings to the two leaders. Thank you, but I just thought about it: we people are mixed society after all, and everyone has a little bit of bad deeds. Tito and the other four are still suspects, so if we go to toast, I am afraid that Liang Director, Captain Chen and the others will be unhappy,"
Ye Ming also thought it was inappropriate to do this, so he said bluntly: "Brother Chao, your concerns are right. I also think it is not appropriate for you to toast Director Liang and Captain Chen. After all, they are all at the department level." Senior officials are all leaders of the public security system. If you go to toast, if word gets out, it will have a very bad impact on them. Therefore, I suggest you not do this to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Gong Zhichao nodded and said, "Brother Ye Ming is right. Let's go to Wangjiang Tower in the evening and drink in another box. After you finish eating, you call me and I'll go to the bar to sign the bill."
Ye Ming agreed, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Tao Yong's number, telling him that he would have dinner in the "999" box of the newly opened "Wangjianglou Restaurant" at six o'clock in the evening, and asked him to bring Director Liang, Captain Chen and the others there. come over.
At 5:40 in the evening, Ye Ming came to the "Wangjianglou Restaurant" and sat in the 999 box for less than five minutes. Tao Yong walked into the box with two leaders, Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian, smiling brightly.
This private room is a large luxury box, and the round dining table can seat about twenty people. Moreover, in order to express his respect and gratitude to Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian, Gong Zhichao ordered almost all the unique and expensive dishes in this restaurant. I ordered a lot of dishes, such as "broccoli puffer fish", "steamed white eel", "snow mountain flying fox", "yellow braised muntjac", "bamboo rat with crispy pepper", "air-dried wild boar", "fried hare with fresh bamboo shoots", " "Wild vegetable chowder" and so on, more than twenty dishes were served, filling the round edge of the revolving table.
Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian had never had a banquet with so much game. Every time the waiter announced the name of a dish, their eyes lit up and they couldn't help but admire it. When the number of dishes reached twenty, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua almost said it in unison. He said: "Director Ye, you are too polite. There are only four of us in total. How can we finish eating so many good dishes? If there are still dishes left, please tell the kitchen not to serve them."
Ye Ming didn't want to hide Gong Zhichao's thoughts, so he said matter-of-factly: "Director Liang, Captain Chen, let's be honest: Mr. Gong Zhichao arranged this table of food. As the saying goes, I treat, he pays, he said Li: On such an occasion, it is not convenient for him to come to accompany the leaders, nor to toast them. However, Director Liang and Captain Chen helped him so much, and the two leaders came again. "
Chen Guitian is a very generous person. When he heard Ye Ming's words, he waved his hand and said: "Director Ye, since this is the case, please call Xiao Gong over to eat together. It's so spacious here, and you ordered so much." If there are too many dishes and too few people, the food will lose some atmosphere, right? Besides, hasn’t Xiao Gong already come to a conclusion? He has no suspicion of any crime now and is a legitimate businessman, like us. There is no need to avoid suspicion when eating at the same table, Director Liang, what do you think?"
Liang Tanghua hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Ye Ming, nodded and said: "Director Ye, although you and I have met for the first time, I can see that you are an outstanding young man who is full of integrity and has both political integrity and talent. , As the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together, people form groups. Since you have such a good relationship with Gong Zhichao, Gong Zhichao must not be the kind of unlearned little gangster. He should also have his advantages and strengths. Therefore, Captain Chen said You're right: there won't be any bad effects if he comes here to eat. Let's give him a call and ask him to come over and have a drink with us. It's such a big table, so many dishes, just the four of us. , it is indeed too deserted and a little too wasteful,”
Ye Ming heard what Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian said, so he picked up his mobile phone and called Gong Zhichao, who was drinking with Tie Tuo and the others in the next box, and said that Director Liang and Captain Chen invited him to come over and have a drink together.
Gong Zhichao didn't expect to drink at the same table as Director Liang and Captain Chen, so after hearing Ye Ming's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in an unusually happy tone: "Brother, I'll come over immediately, thank you, thank you, "
Within a moment, Gong Zhichao opened the box door and walked in.
Liang Tanghua asked Gong Zhichao to sit next to Ye Ming, and then he deliberately chatted with Gong Zhichao for a few words. He found that he had a calm personality, was polite, and seemed to be very cultivated and knowledgeable in his speech and behavior, which was in line with his impression. The image of the black boss was very different, and then I understood why Ye Ming had such a good relationship with him.
So, he was completely relieved. When Gong Zhichao stood up to toast him, he stood up at the same time and drank all the wine in the glass.
At this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and a lean and strange man came in.
The man was holding a black bag in his left hand and an electric razor in his right hand. He smiled brightly and said to the people inside: "Bosses, buy a razor. My razor is imported." Brand-name products not only have a good shaving effect, but are also durable. If you don’t believe it, you can ask a boss with a beard to test it on site.”
As he spoke, he carried the bag and walked around the dining table, showing the razors to the people on the table one by one.
