Song Rui took a puff of his cigarette, then smiled and said, "Of course not!"
Xia Ruofei quietly looked at Song Rui, waiting for him to continue. Xia Ruofei knew that Song Rui definitely had something important to tell him, or else there would be no need to avoid the people around them.
Song Rui said faintly, "Grandfather wants to see you and talk to you about the Liu family's old master …"
Xia Ruofei was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grandpa Song has made a decision?"
Song Rui shrugged and said, "I don't know … Family Liu's people have asked to meet him many times before, but he always refused to meet them. But this time, Family Liu found a lobbyist that Grandpa couldn't refuse. The two of them talked for more than an hour, and then Grandpa asked you to come to his house to meet him … "
Xia Ruofei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay! I can arrange the time here, you can decide on the specific meeting time! "
Song Rui couldn't help but say, "Ruofei, that lobbyist is Grandpa Gao from the Gao family. How do I put it … Grandpa Gao and my grandpa were in the same army, and there was a fierce battle where my grandpa was seriously injured. It was Grandpa Gao who risked his life to carry my grandpa back. Otherwise, my grandpa would have died! So … my grandpa owes Grandpa Gao his life. Since he came to my grandpa's house personally, Grandpa Gao definitely couldn't avoid meeting him. "
Xia Ruofei asked curiously, "Is Grandpa Gao and Family Liu's grandpa close?"
He was indeed curious, and he couldn't understand the relationship between these elders. Grandpa Gao and Master Song had a friendship of life and death on the battlefield, and Family Song and Family Liu were competitors in various fields. It was unlikely that Grandpa Gao would be close to Family Liu!
Of course, Xia Ruofei was simplifying things.
If it was still the hot-blooded youth of the past, perhaps this set of values would still be applicable. But now, whether it was Old Man Gao, Old Man Liu, or even Master Song himself, they all shouldered an entire huge family on their shoulders. Any decision they made would not be measured based on their own likes and dislikes.
What's more, it had been decades since that war. How could the things that had happened in the past few decades be explained in a few simple sentences?
Song Rui nodded and said, "Grandpa Gao and Grandpa Liu have been through life and death together. Moreover, their two families help each other politically and economically. They can be said to be allies! As for our family, although we maintain a friendly relationship with the Gao family, because of Family Liu, we don't cooperate much. It's good enough that we don't have any conflicts in various fields. "
Xia Ruofei immediately understood. He nodded and said, "I understand. Then arrange for me to meet with Grandpa Song as soon as possible!"
Song Rui couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Ruofei, you don't have to do something you don't want to do for Grandpa. Grandpa definitely won't force you. I'm guessing that Grandpa won't make any promises to Grandpa Gao. At most, he'll agree to persuade you … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after we meet! You report to Grandpa Song and set a time for the meeting as soon as possible. I should be in the capital during this time. "
"Grandpa said that his schedule can be adjusted at the last minute," Song Rui said, "Since you don't have any problems, let's set it for tomorrow morning! I'll bring a car to pick you up. Just wait at home! "
"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said as he stood up from the chair and said with a smile, "I've been out for a while. Let's go in!"
Song Rui saw Xia Ruofei's relaxed expression and was a little puzzled. If it were anyone else in this situation, even if they had a little bit of confidence, they would still be a little nervous! After all, this was the combined pressure of the Gao Family and the Liu Family, two colossal families.
Unless Xia Ruofei had already decided to treat Family Liu's grandfather, why else would he be so calm?
However, Song Rui felt that this wasn't very likely. It wasn't the first time that Family Liu's children had conflicts with Xia Ruofei. Last time in the capital, Family Liu's Liu Haofan and Xia Ruofei were like fire and water. Later, Liu Haojun, who was working in Southeast Province, returned to the capital with a face full of dirt. Although there wasn't any evidence, Song Rui and his brothers faintly guessed that this had something to do with Xia Ruofei. With Xia Ruofei's personality, how could he easily lower his head to Family Liu?
Song Rui thought about this as he followed Xia Ruofei back to the private room.
When everyone saw that Xia Ruofei and Song Rui had returned to the room, they hurriedly invited them to sit down. Gao Jun and the others came forward to propose a toast to the two. The two female directors that Gao Jun brought with him looked like experts who often mingled in drinking parties. Their ability to adjust the atmosphere was very strong, and their alcohol tolerance was not bad. The two of them also came forward to propose a toast to Xia Ruofei and Song Rui.
Recently, Li Zhe had been thinking about becoming a shareholder of the Taoyuan Club. Even if it was just a tiny bit of shares, it would be fine. Therefore, he was very attentive to Xia Ruofei and Song Rui.
Li Zhe naturally didn't become a shareholder of the Taoyuan Club for the sake of making money. More accurately, it wasn't just for the sake of making money. What he valued more was his connections in the circle.
As a shareholder of the Taoyuan Club, not only could he share the same boat as Song Rui and Zhao Yongjun, but the nature of the club itself determined that it was a top social occasion. When the time came, as a shareholder of the club, he would naturally be able to enjoy the benefits of being in a favorable position.
This was undoubtedly very important for the Li family, which was declining day by day.
Therefore, Li Zhe spared no effort to please Xia Ruofei and Song Rui. However, the two of them had already discussed outside that they wouldn't accept new shareholders for the time being. Therefore, they accepted all of Li Zhe's flattery and pretended to be ignorant of his hints and hints that he wanted to invest in the club.
Li Zhe himself was a little weak. Since Song Rui didn't agree, he didn't dare to have the slightest impatience. He could only sigh in his heart and continue to shamelessly stick to Song Rui and the others in the future.
To Xia Ruofei, drinking this wine was definitely not as enjoyable as drinking with his brothers. Not only because everyone at the table had their own thoughts and did not have the simple feeling of a gathering of brothers, but also because of the Liu family's matter, which more or less affected Xia Ruofei's mood.
Therefore, at nine o 'clock, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Everyone, it's getting late. I suggest that we finish the wine on the table and go back home. How about that?"
Naturally, no one objected to Xia Ruofei's suggestion. Gao Jun quickly asked the waiter to pour the rest of the wine together. Then, he took the initiative to stand up and toast around. Everyone then divided the remaining wine and poured half a glass for everyone.
Gao Jun raised his glass and said a few words of thanks. Then, everyone drank a glass together and ended the dinner.
After the assistant director, Luo Xue, who was brought by Gao Jun, drank the last glass of wine, she quickly left the private room.
When Xia Ruofei and the others walked out of the private room and came to the door of the Wang Fu Private Home Cuisine, Luo Xue had already directed the guests' cars to wait at the door. She just came down one step earlier to inform the driver.
Wu Qiang drove Xia Ruofei's Land Rover to the front of the line. Gao Jun and the others sent Xia Ruofei and the others first. It was not convenient for the car to turn around here, and at this time, many people were ready to drive away. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not refuse. He cupped his hands to everyone and got into the car.
Qin Yanan and He Yu also got into the car separately. The two of them were also toasted a lot tonight. Their faces were red, but they seemed to be in good condition. Their eyes were also relatively clear. They probably did not drink too much.
Xia Ruofei pressed down the window and waved to Gao Jun and the others with a smile. Qin Yanan motioned for Wu Qiang to start the car.
The car slowly started. Song Rui stood by the window and said, "Ruofei, call me tomorrow!"
Xia Ruofei nodded knowingly and then pressed down the window.
The car drove smoothly all the way. After about forty minutes, they returned to the courtyard house in Liuhai Lane.
Xia Ruofei brought Qin Yanan and He Yu to the courtyard in the middle. Then, he stopped and said, "Yanan, He Yu, you drank a lot tonight! Go back to your room and rest! "
"Yes, Chairman!" Qin Yanan and He Yu responded at the same time.
Xia Ruofei said again, "I have something to do tomorrow. You don't have to accompany me. You can choose to sleep in or take a stroll around the capital. "
Qin Yanan smiled tenderly and said, "Then, we thank Chairman for your understanding!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "If you go out to play, remember to write a ticket. The company will pay for it! Okay, go back to your room and rest … "
After Xia Ruofei returned to his room, he took a simple shower. Then, he sat on the bed and cultivated for a while. After cultivating, he lay down to rest.
The next morning, when Xia Ruofei went to the backyard to eat breakfast, he saw that Qin Yanan and He Yu had also arrived. He couldn't help but ask jokingly, "Eh? It's not easy to give you a day off. Why don't you sleep a little longer? "
Qin Yanan said playfully, "Boss Xia, you promised to reimburse our travel expenses. How can we let you down? Of course, we have to wake up early! There are many scenic spots in Beijing! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "That makes sense! Then, hurry up and eat breakfast! Oh right, let Wu Qiang drive you there! I don't need a car today! "
If they went to Master Song's place, they would definitely be picked up by Family Song's car. This was because if a normal local car wanted to enter Master Song's area, it would definitely be strictly checked. That would be too troublesome.
Qin Yanan heard this and quickly waved her hand and said, "Boss Xia, there's no need! There's no need! We can take a taxi or take the subway! There's no need to trouble Brother Wu! "
Xia Ruofei thought about it again. Qin Yanan and He Yu probably wanted to have more freedom. They could go wherever they wanted. Also, Beijing's subway transportation was indeed very convenient. As long as they didn't become "human canned meat" during rush hour, the experience was basically not bad.
So he said, "That's fine too! I respect your opinions. But you two girls must be careful when you go out! If anything happens, call me or Wu Qiang immediately! "
If Wu Qiang followed them, there was naturally no need to worry about their safety. But if they went out by themselves, Xia Ruofei would more or less be a little worried.
Qin Yanan said with a smile, "Don't worry, Boss Xia! We'll be careful! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and didn't say anything else. He sat down and began to eat breakfast.
After eating, Qin Yanan and He Yu said goodbye to Xia Ruofei and went out to take a taxi to tour Beijing.
Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, returned to the courtyard where he lived and sat at the stone table in the courtyard to brew tea. Amidst the fragrance of the tea leaves, Xia Ruofei's state of mind also calmed down quite a bit.
At around nine o 'clock in the morning, Xia Ruofei received a call from Song Rui. "Ruofei, come out! We'll be there in about five minutes. We're on this side of Liuhai Lane! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei replied.
He got up and went back to the house. He picked up a bag that he prepared in advance yesterday and walked to the front yard.
Inside the bag was a high-quality Iron maple bucket, which was also the Dendrobium Ironhide produced in the space. Xia Qing made it himself. The quality was better than the Iron maple bucket sold by the Taoyuan Company and Tong Ren Tang.
Of course, no matter how high the quality was, it was still an Iron maple bucket. Compared to Master Song's status, this gift was really nothing.
But because of the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Master Song, he didn't need to spend so much effort to prepare a gift every time. This was just a token of his sincerity.
Xia Ruofei strolled to the front yard and waited in the alley outside the door for two minutes. He saw a black Hongqi sedan driving over from the side of the street inside Desheng Gate. He saw Song Rui sitting in the front passenger seat at a glance.
The car stopped in front of the courtyard house. Song Rui stuck his head out and said, "Ruofei, get in!"
The driver had already gotten out of the car. He walked quickly to Xia Ruofei's side and opened the door of the back seat.
Although the driver was wearing a black suit, his short hair, straight waist, and sharp aura showed that he must be a soldier, and a soldier with a high military quality.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly to him and then got into the car.
The driver returned to the car. Soon, the Hongqi car slowly started and steadily drove to the other side of the alley.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei and Song Rui didn't speak.
Song Rui sat in the passenger seat and looked at his phone absent-mindedly. Xia Ruofei simply leaned against the soft seat and closed his eyes to rest.
After about an hour, the car arrived at the quaint house where Master Song lived.
The Hongqi car directly drove in through the open door and stopped in the first courtyard.
Xia Ruofei didn't wait for the driver to open the door. He opened the door and got out of the car.
Xia Ruofei's old acquaintance, Master Song's personal secretary, Director Lu, stood beside the car with a smile on his face. He said to Xia Ruofei, "Comrade Ruofei, the chief has been waiting for a long time."
Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly, "Then I'm guilty. Grandpa Song is so busy every day. How can he waste so much time for me?"
Director Lu laughed and said, "If that's the case, then let's not waste any more time. Let's hurry up and see the chief!"
"Director Lu is right!" Xia Ruofei agreed.
Director Lu extended his hand and made an inviting gesture. He said, "Ruofei, this way please!"
Xia Ruofei looked at Song Rui, who had just gotten out of the car. Seeing that he had no intention of following, he nodded and walked towards the courtyard in the middle.
