Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You said it's too late. I really have something to do tonight! I have already promised someone else … Wait! Why don't you come over tonight? You and Li Family's Fourth Brother are together. "
"What's your dinner tonight?" Song Rui asked, "Is it convenient for us to go over?"
"It's not inconvenient. It's just that Xiangnan Satellite TV's Director Gao invited me to have a meal. I also dragged Hou Liang to accompany him!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "If you don't mind, you can bring Li Xiaosi over!"
Song Rui laughed and scolded, "You are just lazy! You don't want to socialize too much, so you just get together, right? "
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xia Ruofei also laughed and scolded, and then asked, "Just say that you don't want to come!"
"I'm coming!" Song Rui said without hesitation, "Why wouldn't I go if someone is treating me? It's settled then! Where are you tonight? "
In fact, Song Rui was looking at Xia Ruofei's face. Otherwise, the people who were waiting to invite him to dinner could fill Chang 'an Street. He really didn't care about ordinary people's dinners.
Xia Ruofei actually also had the idea of returning the favor. Xiangnan Satellite TV and Gao Jun promoted the Taoyuan Company very well this time. He believed that the effect would be seen immediately after the program was broadcast, so he also gave Gao Jun some connections. Although Gao Jun had contact with Hou Liang and even Song Rui, the meaning of this dinner was different. Although Gao Jun couldn't get Song Rui's line because of a dinner, the relationship between the two sides would be much closer. This was undoubtedly Gao Jun's dream.
"Ya Qing's private room at the Wang Mansion's private restaurant. You can go there by yourself. The time is scheduled for 6: 30!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Okay! I'll call Li Xiaosi now. That guy has been wanting to meet you for a long time. " Song Rui said with a smile, "But don't take him too seriously. The Li family is not as good as before. Otherwise, Li Xiaosi wouldn't be selling imported cars all day long."
In the eyes of Song Rui, the job of selling imported cars was obviously a little degrading.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Okay! I know what to do. "
As long as their personalities and temperaments were compatible, he didn't care whether the other party's identity was prominent or whether the other party's family was prosperous. If their temperaments couldn't match, even if the other party was from the second or third generation with a background like Song Rui's, he wouldn't look at them in the eye.
With the continuous improvement of his cultivation, Xia Ruofei's mentality also gradually changed. The power and status of the secular world could no longer cause any waves in his heart.
Sometimes, he was even a little confused. What state would the evolution of life eventually reach? Would a life form that had evolved to a higher level still be considered the same as the current ordinary humans? In a sense, it was already a different species, wasn't it?
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei got up and went to the bedroom to take a nap. At four o 'clock, he got up, washed up, changed into casual clothes, and went to the living room to find some tea leaves to make tea for a while.
At a little after five o 'clock, Qin Yanan knocked on the door outside and told him that it was almost time to leave.
At five o 'clock, there was already a traffic jam in Beijing. If they didn't leave early, it was likely that they would be stuck on the road.
Xia Ruofei picked up a bag of tea leaves that he had prepared after getting up and stepped out of the room.
This was a gift he had prepared for Gao Jun. After all, it was not good to go empty-handed when Gao Jun was treating him to a meal. This bag of tea was naturally Dahongpao in the peach garden, but it was not the limited edition version sold at the official flagship store of Taoyuan. Instead, it was produced by the tea trees in the Ring-Tu space and personally fried by Xia Qing. The quality was naturally much better than the Dahongpao sold on the market.
In terms of taste alone, the Dahongpao in the Ring-Tu space was not inferior to the famous mother tree Dahongpao. Although the tea leaves in the space were propagated by cutting branches of the mother tree Dahongpao and belonged to the second generation of tea trees, because the environment of the Ring-Tu space was unique and rich in spiritual energy, the tea trees in the space were actually better than the mother tree Dahongpao in the Nine Dragons' Nest.
However, the value of tea leaves could never be judged by taste alone. The five mother trees Dahongpao were the ancestors of all Dahongpao, and there was a history of precipitation, which was where the intangible value lay.
But in any case, this gift was definitely not cheap, and it was also not something that could be bought with money.
As soon as Xia Ruofei went out, he saw Qin Yanan and He Yu standing outside.
Qin Yanan said, "Boss Xia, the car is ready."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
When they arrived at the backyard, Wu Qiang had already started the Land Rover and was waiting. He Yu sat in the front passenger seat, and Xia Ruofei and Qin Yanan naturally sat in the back seats.
This also made Xia Ruofei determined to buy an MPV as soon as possible. This Land Rover was good for family use, but it was not suitable for some business activities.
Wu Qiang calmly drove the car forward on the road that was gradually becoming congested, while Xia Ruofei leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
There were indeed a lot of cars in the capital, and with the peak traffic after work, the traffic jam on the road became more and more serious. The distance from the courtyard house in Liuhai Lane to the private kitchen of the Wang Mansion was not too far, but the car finally arrived at around 6: 20 pm, and it took a full hour to get there.
Xia Ruofei waited in the car for Wu Qiang to park the car before getting out with Qin Yanan and He Yu. He also called Wu Qiang to come with him — they came out early today, and Wu Qiang had not eaten dinner.
"Boss Xia, I'll just eat a little outside," Wu Qiang said as he walked.
"Come together!" Xia Ruofei said, "The other party must have arranged a meal for the driver in advance."
Xia Ruofei knew that Wu Qiang was not good with words and did not like those kinds of social occasions, so he did not plan to let him go with him to the banquet.
After Wu Qiang heard Xia Ruofei's words, he did not say anything else and quickly followed.
Walking through the bright door of the private kitchen of the Wang Mansion and bypassing the antique screen wall, Xia Ruofei was about to find a greeter to ask for the location of Ya Qing's private room when he was surprised to find that Gao Jun was already waiting here in advance.
Standing side by side with him was Hou Liang and two women who looked extremely capable.
The private kitchen was not like a hotel that had a lobby. In fact, there was a hall separated by a courtyard, and Hou Liang, Gao Jun, and the others were all standing there waiting. Xia Ruofei could not help but quicken his steps when he saw this.
Gao Jun and the others naturally saw Xia Ruofei and the others with a glance, and they similarly quickened their steps to greet them.
"Boss Xia!"
"Brother Xia!"
The two of them greeted at the same time.
Xia Ruofei took two steps forward and said, "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way. I've made you wait for a long time …"
"We've just arrived as well." Gao Jun smiled, and his eyes revealed a trace of excitement and gratitude. Obviously, Hou Liang's arrival was a great surprise to him.
Qin Yanan and He Yu also came up to greet them. The two of them probably knew the two women beside Gao Jun, and they quickly exchanged pleasantries with smiles on their faces.
Gao Jun introduced, "Boss Xia, this is Huang Yajuan, the executive director of this season's' The Life I Yearn For '. Next to her is her executive director, Luo Xue."
Xia Ruofei felt that the two women looked somewhat familiar, and he thought that they must have met on the show.
The filming of 'The Life I Yearn For' was different from the filming of movies and television dramas. It was even different from the average reality show. The staff worked under the condition that they did not disturb the guests' natural performance as much as possible, and they basically did not reshoot after shouting 'cut'. This was because there were no NGs in this kind of show. It was a true recording of the entire process, and then post-editing. Therefore, the director's presence during the filming of the show was not that strong. Xia Ruofei only felt that the two women looked somewhat familiar.
In fact, he saw more of the on-set director and cameraman. Huang Yajuan and Luo Xue spent most of their time in the annex building, and they did not constantly stare at the filming site.
This was also the reason why they could still come out to socialize today.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Oh, so you're the heroines under Gao Tai! Director Huang! Director Luo! Nice to meet you! "
Huang Yajuan quickly said, "You flatter me, Boss Xia, you can just call me Xiao Huang!"
Hou Liang also came up to greet him with a smile. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Monkey, you're early!"
"Brother Xia, I wouldn't dare to be late if you called me!" Hou Liang said with a smile, "Although Gao Tai is the host today, I'll have to offer you a few drinks later!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "I don't have anything to do today, so let's all drink! By the way, Xiao Rui hasn't arrived yet? "
"Brother Rui will be here too?" Hou Liang asked with some surprise.
Obviously, Song Rui and Li Xiaosi hadn't arrived yet. Otherwise, Hou Liang wouldn't have asked this question.
"I knew this guy was unreliable!" Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Let's not wait for him, let's go to the private room first!"
Gao Jun had been thinking about it for a long time. Even Hou Liang had to call him brother, which meant that the friend that Xia Ruofei invited was not an ordinary person. Although he and Song Rui had the honor of having a meal together once, they weren't familiar with each other. Naturally, he couldn't guess that the person who would be attending the banquet was Song Rui from the words of the two.
After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, Gao Jun quickly said, "Boss Xia, how about … you go to the private room and rest for a while, and I'll wait here?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "No need, no need! Gao Tai, let's go to the private room and sit for a while, or we can eat first! That guy has always been unreliable. Who knows if he will stand me up! "
Gao Jun was a little embarrassed. He was afraid that he would offend "Brother Rui," so he couldn't help but look at Hou Liang for help.
Hou Liang smiled and said, "Gao Tai, let's listen to Brother Xia!"
Hou Liang knew about the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Song Rui. This kind of thing naturally had to be based on Xia Ruofei's opinion.
"Okay! Okay! " Gao Jun heard this and quickly said, "Boss Xia, Master Hou, Assistant Qin, Assistant He, please come this way!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Oh! By the way, Gao Tai, my pilot hasn't had dinner yet. Please arrange something for him to eat! "
"Okay!" Gao Jun quickly responded, then said to Luo Xue, "Xiao Luo, go and arrange it immediately!"
"Okay, Gao Tai!" Luo Xue quickly replied, and then she smiled sweetly to Wu Qiang and said, "Master, come with me!"
Xia Ruofei nodded to Wu Qiang and asked him to follow Luo Xue. After that, he led Qin Yanan, He Yu, and Gao Jun's group through the hall and arrived at Ya Qing's private room after entering the courtyard.
This private room wasn't the largest in the Prince's Estate, but the environment was rather elegant.
After they entered the private room, their group sat at the side of the antique tea table, and waitresses in cheongsams started to make tea for everyone.
The faint sound of zither music was by their ears, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood in the private room. At the same time, there was the fragrance of tea that assaulted their nostrils, causing their mood to be unable to help but relax greatly.
Xia Ruofei lightly nodded to Qin Yanan, and Qin Yanan immediately understood and took out Xia Ruofei's bag of tea before walking over to Gao Jun.
Xia Ruofei lightly smiled. "Director Gao, this is a small token of my appreciation, I hope you don't mind!"
Gao Jun was slightly overwhelmed by this unexpected favor as he stood up and received the tea leaves from Qin Yanan with both hands, and then he said, "Boss Xia, how can I accept this? You've helped me so much, so why are you still giving me a gift!? It should be us … "
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and interrupted Gao Jun, and then he said with a smile, "Director Gao, I won't say any courteous words, some self-produced tea leaves can't be considered as a valuable gift, and it's just a small token of my appreciation."
"Then I'll accept it!" Gao Jun happily received the tea leaves and said, "The Peach Garden's Da Hong Pao is renowned throughout the world, and I can finally be considered to have the good fortune to eat it! Thank you, Boss Xia! "
Actually, with Gao Jun's status, it wasn't a problem for him to buy a few kilograms of the Peach Garden's Da Hong Pao, not to mention that Xia Ruofei had also sponsored a lot of tea leaves to the program team this time. As the deputy director in charge, it was very easy for Gao Jun to get some for himself to taste.
Of course, Gao Jun didn't know that the tea leaves that Xia Ruofei had given him were of a quality that the Peach Garden's Da Hong Pao, which was sold in bulk, couldn't compare at all.
Everyone sat down to make tea and chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, Xia Ruofei raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already 6: 40 pm, and he said, "Director Gao, my friend is already ten minutes late. Let's not wait anymore, let's eat first!"
"That's … not very good, right?" Gao Jun hesitated and said, "Anyway, it's still early, why don't we … wait a little longer?"
"Eating while waiting, that's not too cruel," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "I made an appointment with him at 6: 30 pm, and it's already long past that time. Director Gao, let's ask the waiter to serve the food first! It's okay for us men to eat, but it's not good to let the ladies starve … "
Gao Jun looked at Hou Liang, and saw that Hou Liang nodded slightly, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the table first!"
Then, he ordered the waiter to pour the wine and serve the food, and led Xia Ruofei and the others to the round table next to them.
At that moment, the door of the private room was gently knocked, and a waitress in a cheongsam gently pushed the door open. Then, everyone saw Song Rui walk in with a young man in his late twenties.
