While he was talking, Zhang Jinlu's phone call came in.
"Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"
"Yeah, what are you busy with? I can't even find you in the office?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Oh, you know, I won't go anywhere if you are looking for me. What do you want to do with me?" Zhang Jinlu was strict enough and did not say what he was busy with.
"I'm going to my sister's house for dinner tonight, will you go?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Go, go, you go first, I'll go when I'm done." Zhang Jinlu said happily with a sense of flattery in his tone.
"Okay, I'll hang up." After Lin Chuang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Lianhua, you stay here and if there is any bad news, call me as we agreed." Lin Chuang said to Yi Lianhua.
"Yes, I understand." Yi Lianhua nodded.
…
She Aizhen prepared six dishes. Except for Lin Chuang's favorite steamed fish, the rest were all vegetables.
Wu Sibao sat in the main seat, Lin Chuang was on his right, Zhang Jinlu sat on his left, and She Aizhen, as usual, sat on Lin Chuang's right without avoiding suspicion, serving him food and drink.
"Xiao Ming, let your sister and Jin Lu drink the red one, while we two get the white one?" Wu Sibao asked Lin Chuang.
"No problem." Lin Chuang replied.
Wu Sibao got up and went to get the wine.
"Don't drink too much. Like the last time, you drink so much that you don't know what's going on. It's not good for your health." She Aizhen said to Lin Chuang with concern.
"Tsk..." Zhang Jinlu laughed out loud when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little shy when he thought about what happened that night.
"Why are you laughing? It's all your fault!" She Aizhen glared at Zhang Jinlu and said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh. Your brother is a treasure, and everyone else is just grass. If you get involved with your brother, it is like getting the immortal energy, okay?" Zhang Jinlu replied.
"That's right!" She Aizhen said.
"It doesn't matter, half a pound of wine can't put me down." Lin Chuang quickly interrupted the two people's "dirty talk".
Wu Sibao brought over a bottle of "Pear Blossom White" and poured a cup for Lin Chuang and himself.
"Bah Liu..." Lin Chuang touched Wu Sibao, raised his neck, and drank a cup first.
The wine was so strong that I couldn't hold anything in my stomach, so I choked on the drink.
"Cough cough cough......"
"Hey, can't you drink it slower? Are you choking?" She Aizhen quickly stood up and slapped Lin Chuang's back, saying angrily.
"You can't even drink, but you still show off." Wu Sibao laughed and made sarcastic remarks while eating vegetables.
"It's okay, sister." Lin Chuang stopped coughing and said to She Aizhen.
"Hurry up and eat the food." After She Aizhen sat down, she quickly took a chopstick of fish and put it on Lin Chuang's bone plate.
"Hey, let me tell you, he is not a child anymore. He can't copy by himself? Can you feed him?" Wu Sibao was unhappy when he saw this.
"Go away! Do you care about you?" She Aizhen gave her husband a big eye roll and said angrily.
"Okay, I'm in trouble again." Wu Sibao said sarcastically.
Zhang Jinlu took a sip of red wine and looked at this scene with a smile.
Next, Lin Chuang and Wu Sibao went back and forth, and the cup bottomed out.
Zhang Jinlu and She Aizhen had a light drink and stayed with each other.
The atmosphere is very good.
But Lin Chuang was a little anxious.
Lin Chuang only went to Wu's house for dinner and called Zhang Jinlu. In addition to finding witnesses for himself, he also had another purpose, which was to sow discord between them and He Tianmu.
But what disappointed him was that neither Wu Sibao nor Zhang Jinlu talked about this topic, and it was too obvious for him to take the initiative to talk, so he could only act anxiously.
"Xiao Ming, how long will it take for your center to be completed?" At this time, She Aizhen asked.
"It's early, it will take more than half a year anyway." Lin Chuang replied.
"What does your center do? Can you tell me more specifically?" She Aizhen asked.
"The Sino-Japanese Cultural Exchange Center naturally focuses on culture. For example, literature, calligraphy, tea art, sports, painting, and natural science are all within the scope of exchange." Lin Chuang replied.
"So, does this center have any income?" She Aizhen asked.
"It's basically for public welfare. Unless it's done well, we'll sell tickets, hold an exhibition, etc., and the income won't be huge," Lin Chuang replied.
At this point, Lin Chuang suddenly realized something and quickly asked: "Sister, are you interested?"
"Yes, I am a little tired of waiting for them at home all day long. I think this is more leisurely, how about I give it a try?" She Aizhen said.
"Of course there is no problem. Not to mention going to the center, you can just be the factory director of Haoshou, and your brother won't have a problem with it!" Lin Chuang said.
"I can't do that. I like literature and reading novels. I might be a little interested in the things in the cultural center." She Aizhen said.
"No! Azhen, you can just stay at home and be idle. It's not like I can't support you, so I don't need you to go out and make money! They say they are educated people there, but many of them are hooligans wearing the cloak of educated people. You can't go there."
Wu Sibao listened nearby and was the first to express his objection.
"I don't want to make money, I just want to do something I like." She Aizhen said.
Lin Chuang's heart moved and he said: "Sister, you should listen to my brother and take a look before talking. Anyway, they belong to our family and you can go anytime."
When the topic changed, Lin Chuang said with some displeasure: "Also, Ah Lu, if you don't do well in the Secret Service Department, you can resign at any time. You don't need to be angry with others!"
Looking at that expression, it is completely Zhang Jinlu's caring heart.
Zhang Jinlu was very moved and said to Lin Chuang: "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully."
"Hmph! You have long hair but short knowledge! Personnel matters are politics. This time you have offended He Tianmu very badly. If you don't kill him, you will die! Do you know?!" Lin Chuang said angrily.
That expression and tone were no different from a husband scolding his wife.
Therefore, although the words were unpleasant, Zhang Jinlu was not angry at all, but felt moved and warmed by being protected.
"Don't worry, with your brother Bao here, can you still make Jinlu suffer?" Wu Sibao said.
"Yeah, don't worry about it anymore. I understand what you're saying. I will definitely find a way to bring him down." Zhang Jinlu comforted Lin Chuangdao.
Lin Chuang's face was filled with anger: "If you can't do it, just tell me and I'll let Quan Yangjian do it!"
This sounds a bit exaggerated.
He Tianmu is not a small person. If Quan Yangjian wants to deal with him, he must also pay attention to evidence.
However, although these words were a bit exaggerated, to Zhang Jinlu's ears, they did not sound like bragging at all.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Just go about your business and don't worry about this kind of thing. There is no need for you to take action." Zhang Jinlu said.
"Well, I get angry when I think about what happened that day!" Lin Chuang let out a long breath and said.
She Aizhen gave Zhang Jinlu a meaningful look, and Zhang Jinlu understood what she meant: "How about it? My brother is very affectionate, right? You have chosen him!"
Zhang Jinlu smiled sweetly without saying anything.
After dinner, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Lin Chuang had something on his mind and gradually became a little distracted.
