While Xia Bicheng and his wife were discussing how to entertain Ye Ming well, he was currently in a shopping mall near the provincial bureau, wandering uneasily among the dazzling array of products, wondering what gifts he should buy for Xia Bicheng and his wife.
It turned out that when Li Jingya heard that Xia Bicheng personally called Ye Ming to invite Ye Ming to his house for dinner, Monk Zhanger was also confused. She didn't know what kind of wind blew up today, and Xia Bicheng actually invited Ye Ming to have dinner in person for the first time. She knew that for the matter of Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu, she had gone to inquire about Xia Bicheng and his wife many times. However, every time they were noncommittal. Although they did not express their objections clearly, Li Jingya could tell from their eyes and tone of voice. You can hear it: these two people don't look down on Ye Ming at all, and they treat him with contempt and disdain. However, because of their own and Li Runji's face, they can't openly say what Ye Ming is not. .
Therefore, when Secretary Li said that he wanted Ye Ming and Xia Chuchu to get engaged, Li Jingya was still worried. She didn't know whether Xia Bicheng and his wife would firmly oppose it, and she didn't know how to persuade them to accept Ye Ming as their son-in-law.
In her opinion, Xia Bicheng and Zeng Yanhua would never let Ye Ming and Chu Chu get engaged, because she had some understanding of the temperaments of these two couples, and she had also reminded Li Runji to pay attention to Xia Bicheng's stance.
But today, Xia Bicheng suddenly called and said that she wanted to invite Ye Ming to dinner, and her attitude was very sincere and enthusiastic, which made her confused: Could it be that her husband put some pressure on Xia Bicheng, or was it because Chu Chu insisted on getting engaged to Ye Ming, but he couldn't overcome Chu Chu's stubborn temper, so he had to change his attitude towards Ye Ming.
Although she was full of doubts, Li Jingya was still very happy after getting the news. After Ye Ming hung up the phone, she immediately pulled him aside and told him: This time is an excellent opportunity, you must take it seriously. Show off for a while in front of Mr. and Mrs. Xia Bicheng, especially your feelings for Chu Chu. Be kinder to Chu Chu, be more caring, and be more affectionate. Only in this way, Mr. and Mrs. Xia Bicheng will hand over their daughter to you with confidence. …
Although Ye Ming was deeply unwilling, at this time he was already riding a tiger and it was impossible to go back on his word: on the one hand, he had already promised Secretary Li and his wife that as long as Xia Chuchu agreed, he would be willing to work with him. She was engaged. At that time, he thought that it was absolutely impossible for Xia Chuchu to get engaged to him again after learning about his affair with Chen Yi.
But he never expected that Xia Chuchu, a big star whose eyes were as high as the top and could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, would actually agree to forgive himself for what he had done and be engaged to him because of his love for him. This made him He was a little moved and a little surprised, but at the same time, it also forced him into a dead end.
According to his thinking, he originally wanted to wait for Chen Yi to formally file for divorce from Li Zhi to the court after the matter subsided, and then propose to her. Unexpectedly, Li Jingya told him: Chen Yi has made it clear that He was asked to get engaged and married to Xia Chuchu. If he didn't do what Secretary Li arranged, she would never see him again. This made him frustrated and helpless, because he knew very well: Chen Yi was definitely a As a person who does what she says, if you don't do what she says, you may never see her again in the future...
On the other hand, he also knew that his scandal with Chen Yi would not only completely ruin his reputation, but he might even be punished for it. Moreover, the most important thing was that someone had already pointed the finger at Secretary Li Runji. , saying that his disciplinary violations were all done with the connivance and cover of Secretary Li. If the impact of this incident is not eliminated quickly now, he may become the handle and spearhead for others to attack Secretary Li. If things get serious, it may even affect Secretary Li's political and official reputation.
Now, the best way to get rid of this scandal is to get engaged to Xia Chuchu, so as to eliminate the negative rumors on the Internet and cover up the negative news about her affair with Chen Yi.
Therefore, even out of consideration for Secretary Li's reputation, I have the obligation to follow Secretary Li's requirements.
Third, just this afternoon, he received calls from Director Xu Fei and Director Zou Wenming one after another. Both leaders earnestly persuaded him on the phone to listen to Secretary Li, get engaged to Xia Chuchu as soon as possible, and eliminate the problem as soon as possible. The bad impact caused by his affair with Chen Yi.
Moreover, Xu Fei asked him directly on the phone: What do you think Chu Chu is not worthy of you, what do you think does not suit your eyes, and what is the point where Chu Chu is worse than Chen Yi? It is appearance, knowledge, and status. Or something else, if Chu Chu is not bad at all, and she likes you so much, why do you reject her, why do you make her sad and let her down again and again.
Hearing Xu Fei's barrage of questions, Ye Ming could only smile bitterly, and was not sure how to answer him: Yes, Chu Chu is not inferior to Chen Yi in any way, and is even much better than Chen Yi in many aspects. However, feelings are not the same thing. It is not simply measured by conditions and mismatch. In the final analysis, love is a feeling: if the feeling is right, Dongshi will become Xishi; if the feeling is wrong, Lin Daiyu will become a woman without salt. The so-called "beholder's eye" This is the truth.
However, he knew that if he talked about these things with Xu Fei, firstly, he would not be able to explain clearly, and secondly, Xu Fei would not listen to his metaphysical "love theories" at all.
Therefore, he simply remained silent until Xu Fei finished speaking, and then told him that he was willing to get engaged to Xia Chuchu, and that he would invite Director Xu over for a wedding drink...
Because of the above reasons, Ye Ming could only follow the arrangements of Secretary Li and his wife and wait for Xia Bicheng and his wife at their home. Once they agreed to Chu Chu's marriage to him, he would immediately hold an engagement ceremony...
After Li Jingya told Ye Ming, she told him: before going to Xia's house, she should go to a nearby supermarket to buy some gifts. There is no limit to how many gifts, but they must be thoughtful.
Therefore, Ye Ming went straight to the supermarket and started looking around on the shelves to see if there were any suitable gifts.
But after searching around, he didn't know what to buy. Just when he was feeling frustrated, Xia Chuchu suddenly called.
"Hillbilly, why haven't you come here yet? My father is already waiting for you at home. It's only two buildings away from Uncle Li's house to my house. If you're taking such a long time, you don't want to come again. I'll tell you. :If you dare not come this time, I will never pay attention to you from now on, huh,"
