Chapter 688

Although it was a big Yamen with fresh clothes and angry horses, Du Xiao's gift was also very shabby, that is, a box of tea.

He handed the gift to the servant. Du Xiao looked at it and soon noticed Chen Liang sitting in Zhao Tai.

His expression stagnated, but he quickly returned to normal,

"Uncle Zhao, you are getting younger and younger."

Du Xiao, who came here, had no previous overbearing and prestige, and was very much like a polite and humble younger generation.

Sure enough, I still answered the old saying.

A mature person will never have only one monotonous face.

In front of different characters, they will show different looks.

"Really? I'm worried about how many white hairs are on my head."

Zhao Tai stood up and smiled kindly.

"Let me introduce you. This is our outstanding young entrepreneur in the East China Sea, Chen Liang. This is..."

"Uncle Zhao, I know Chen Dong."

Du Xiao answered and looked at Chen Liang. No enemy met. He was very jealous. On the contrary, he smiled genially.

"Chen Dong, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chen Liang didn't put on airs either. After Du Xiao took the initiative to say hello, he quickly put down his tea cup and got up, with an unexpected smile on his face.

"Governor Zhao just said there were guests. I didn't expect it to be Mr. Du. What a coincidence."

Du Xiao smiled and nodded, completely unable to see hatred and contradiction.

Their acting skills are equal.

"Just right, since you two know each other, you don't need me to introduce you more."

Obviously.

Today's meal, Zhao Tai not only didn't explain to Chen Liang in advance, but Du Xiao was also hidden from the drum.

"The meal is ready, governor."

Secretary Xiao reminded me.

"Go, eat and talk."

Chen Liang and Du Xiao followed Zhao Tai to the restaurant with their own thoughts.

Xiao Mi intended to leave, but Zhao Tai stayed to eat with him.

A little detail is enough to explain Zhao Tai's official and human nature from the side.

When you eat in the No. 1 courtyard of the municipal government, there will naturally be no Manchu and Han banquet. The dishes on the table are very simple, three meat and three vegetables, all of which are home-made dishes.

"What you should eat is delicious food, and you don't know whether to eat or not."

"Uncle Zhao, as you say, I'm never picky about food. When I was a child, my father gave me the most food is pickled steamed bread."

Chen Liang's face was obviously stiff. If he hadn't experienced more things recently and his mind had been tempered a lot, he would have laughed.

If you laugh, you'll be embarrassed.

Even if he had such a poor family environment when he was a child, he was not miserable enough to eat pickled vegetables and steamed bread every day.

But Zhao Tai seemed to believe it and nodded with a smile.

"Your father's personality is like that. If you believe that boys have to bear hardships, Bao Jianfeng comes from honing, and the fragrance of plum flowers comes from bitter cold. His generation also came from childhood, so it's the same with educating you. He wanted you to join the army and inherit his mantle since childhood, but this kind of thing can't be forced. You young people have your own ideas, and life is their own, and he spent that money With so much Kung Fu, I can't feel free in the end. "

Zhao Tai and Du Xiao were chatting about family life there. Chen Liang didn't feel embarrassed and ate his own vegetables.

"Chen Dong, have a drink?"

Secretary Xiao is good at coming.

The job of secretary is generally a talent, and as the first secretary, he is also a real power figure in the East China Sea.

Ordinary rich people certainly don't need him to put down his body and cater to them. The main reason is that the weight of this young man in the governor's mind seems not ordinary and can't be ignored.

"Sorry, I drove."

"It doesn't matter. Just call a valet later."

Chen Liang couldn't refuse the other party's face, so he could only nod his head.

The wine on the table is not Maotai, but a special national cellar. It does not circulate in the market and only provides senior staff of a certain level or above.

Although he is now rich, Chen Liang has never drunk such a good wine. The burning spicy taste in his stomach choked him. He coughed and immediately had something on his head.

His cough attracted the attention of Du Xiao and Zhao Tai.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"

"Nothing."

Chen Liang breathed.

"I didn't expect the wine to be so strong."

"If Chen Dong can't drink, he'd better drink water, otherwise it's not good if he gets drunk later."

Du Xiao reminds me.

as everyone knows.

Dragon country is not only a human society, but also a wine table society.

Since Chen Liang has poured the wine, if he doesn't finish it and put it here, it means he doesn't respect Zhao Tai. He may offend each other.

Du Xiao's move seems to be well intentioned, but in fact he has a sinister intention.

Naturally, Chen Liang is not a jerk just out of society. Anyway, he has worked in Shunfeng company for more than a year before, and his basic human and worldly skills are still clear.

"It's all right. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Du."

"The wine is really strong, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you young people. You two should have a good drink."

Zhao Tai did not mention the conflict between Chen Liang and Du Xiao, but the implication was very clear.

His appearance really surprised Du Xiao.

Before, Chen Liang was just a capitalist in his eyes. Except for some money, other aspects were not worth mentioning, but if Zhao Tai supported him behind, the concept would be different.

The leader of the East China Sea will definitely make further progress in the future.

Don't say he is Du Xiao. Even the whole Du family is generally unwilling to offend such a big official.

But what Du Xiao couldn't figure out was that a boy who had no foundation, no background and only had some shit luck at best, why did he get such favor from Zhao Tai?

"Mr. Du, I'd like to propose a toast to you. I've offended you a lot before. Don't take it to heart."

Chen Liangchao and Du Xiao picked up the wine glass with sincere eyes and expression.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.

At this time, if you don't give Chen Liang this face, it is to hit Zhao Tai's face. Du Xiao won't be so stupid.

With a smile, Du Xiao quickly picked up his glass.

"Dong Chen's words are serious. What do you offend or not? It's just a little misunderstanding."

"Bang."

The two cups collided crisply.

No matter whether they met or not, their gratitude and hatred disappeared. At least under Zhao Tai's gaze, both faces had a warm smile.

Another bite.

There seemed to be a fire burning from his stomach to his throat, and Chen Liang grinned secretly.

In contrast, Du Xiao's performance is much better. Maybe he often drinks this wine and looks as usual.

"Uncle Zhao, where's Qingzi?"

"When the child is old, she can't help her parents. She seldom comes back."

Zhao Tai shook his head.

When mentioning the Pearl in his hand, the powerful official showed a bleak and lonely look between his eyebrows and eyes.
