When Xia Ruofei saw that Ling Qingxue was about to answer the phone, he immediately paused the music.
"Dad."
"Qingxue, have you finished eating?" Ling Xiaotian's voice was a little low.
Ling Qingxue said, "Yes, I have. What's up, dad?"
"Where are you right now?"
Ling Qingxue glanced at Xia Ruofei, who was driving. She blushed and said, "I'm with Ruofei! We're on the way to Taoyuan Farm. Dad, I met Ruofei after lunch. "
"Oh, I see!" Ling Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said, "Have fun. You don't have to go back to the company in the afternoon."
"Got it," Ling Qingxue said obediently.
Then she asked, "Dad, are you looking for me for something?"
Ling Qingxue felt that her father's mood was a little low, so she couldn't help but ask again.
"Nothing, I'm just asking." Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "I have a meeting soon. I have to hang up!"
"Oh, bye, dad …" Ling Qingxue said.
Xia Ruofei saw that Ling Qingxue had put away her phone, so he asked with a smile, "Was that from my father-in-law?"
Ling Qingxue rolled her eyes at Xia Ruofei and said, "You're glib-tongued again …"
Xia Ruofei immediately said, "I haven't had lunch yet! It's not greasy … Do you want to check it yourself? "
As he spoke, he held the steering wheel with one hand and leaned over, as if he was going to put his mouth on her.
Ling Qingxue quickly dodged and said with a smile, "Don't mess around! You're still driving … "
"Mm …" Xia Ruofei said seriously, "Then wait until I'm not driving!"
Ling Qingxue was so angry that she clenched her fists and hit Xia Ruofei.
After the two laughed for a while, Xia Ruofei asked, "By the way, Qingxue, why did your dad call you?"
"I don't know why, but he didn't say anything." Ling Qingxue frowned and said, "But I feel that something is up."
"Then you can call him back and ask …" Xia Ruofei said as he drove.
"Forget it, I know my dad." Ling Qingxue said, "If he wants to tell me, he will tell me. If he doesn't want to, it's useless to ask him.
"Alright!" Xia Ruofei shrugged.
As for Ling Qingxue's family matters, Xia Ruofei naturally would not interfere.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the two returned to the farm.
Ye Linyun had already made lunch for herself. Seeing that Xia Ruofei had brought Ling Qingxue back, Ye Linyun immediately took the initiative to drive Xia Ruofei's Knight XV to the farm to wash the car. Obviously, she wanted to make room for the two of them.
Xia Ruofei was already hungry. As soon as he got home, he went straight to the kitchen to prepare food.
Ling Qingxue sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.
It wasn't that she didn't want to cook. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been in the kitchen. She didn't know how to cook at all. Moreover, she enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of by Xia Ruofei.
Listening to the sizzling sound of cooking in the kitchen, Ling Qingxue's heart was filled with happiness.
She sat and watched TV for a while. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ling Xiaotian was hiding something from her.
In the end, Ling Qingxue stood up and took out her phone from her handbag. She found a number and dialed it.
She didn't call Ling Xiaotian directly because she knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of Ling Xiaotian.
Ling Qingxue called Manager Xu of the Food and Beverage Purchasing Department. She was the young woman in charge of contacting Xia Ruofei for the vegetable supply.
"Qingxue."
"Sister Xu, are you busy?" Ling Qingxue asked with a smile.
"Not bad. I just finished a regular meeting," Manager Xu said with a smile. Then, she asked, "Qingxue, why are you looking for me?"
"Sister Xu, I just wanted to ask you. Did something happen in the company today?" Ling Qingxue asked.
"What happened?" Manager Xu subconsciously repeated the sentence. Then, she asked, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not too sure..." Ling Qingxue frowned and asked, "Is everything normal in the company today?"
Manager Xu thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing. Just now, Chairman Ling called everyone for a meeting. He said that the municipal committee suddenly informed us that Ling Yun Hotel didn't make the final bidding list because its hardware didn't meet the standards."
"What?" Ling Qingxue cried out, "Not even on the list? Does that mean that we don't even have the qualifications to participate in the bidding? "
Manager Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. Chairman Ling called the meeting today to discuss this matter. He asked everyone to brainstorm how to deal with it and see if there is any way to remedy it. Of course, this is mainly a public relations matter, so I don't know much about it... "
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xu."
Ling Qingxue put her phone away absentmindedly.
It must be Lin Feng doing something behind the scenes! Ling Qingxue thought in her heart.
She didn't think that Lin Feng would hold a grudge against her for what happened today and take revenge so quickly.
Humph … Pretending to be a modest gentleman, isn't he the same as those second-generation officials?! Ling Qingxue thought angrily.
At this time, Xia Ruofei came out of the kitchen with a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When he saw Ling Qingxue's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Qingxue, what's wrong? What happened? "
Ling Qingxue came back to her senses. She composed herself and squeezed out a smile as she said to Xia Ruofei, "Oh... nothing!"
Xia Ruofei put the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table and walked over to Ling Qingxue. He looked into her eyes and said, "Qingxue, you don't look so good... what's wrong?"
Ling Qingxue sighed and told Xia Ruofei the whole story. Xia Ruofei listened quietly and didn't interrupt.
In the end, Ling Qingxue said, "That's how it is … Ruofei, I didn't want to go this afternoon, but my dad already promised Deputy Secretary-General Lin. Also, the competition for the city council's designated reception unit was decided by him, so I wanted to go and deal with it. I never thought …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "He didn't think that I would suddenly appear and cause you to leave without saying goodbye, so that second-generation officials used their resources to take revenge on you?"
"Ruofei, this has nothing to do with you," Ling Qingxue said quickly. Ling Qingxue hurriedly said, "That kind of narrow-minded person, even if it didn't happen today, he would still hate us if my dad called and rejected him."
"Will this have a big impact on your company?" Xia Ruofei asked calmly.
"How do I put it... We just entered the hotel industry and haven't established ourselves yet. If we can get the designated reception unit of the Municipal Party Committee, it will be good for our long-term development." Ling Qingxue said, "But even if we can't get it, it won't hurt us. At most, it will just slow down the development of the hotel..."
Ling Qingxue pretended to be relaxed. In fact, she knew very well how important this bid was to Ling Xiaotian.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I know. No matter how you look at it, this matter started because of me. Let me help you mediate! "
"You?" Ling Qingxue asked in surprise, "How are you going to do that?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "What? Are you looking down on your husband? Let me tell you, we have people up there too... "
Ling Qingxue blushed and laughed. She said, "Look at you... You have people up there! Also, whose husband are you? I didn't say I was going to marry you! "
Xia Ruofei hugged Ling Qingxue's delicate body and said with a smile, "Wife, don't forget that you are in my house now! A man and a woman alone in a room, you know... "
Ling Qingxue laughed tenderly and shouted, "Let go of me … You lecherous lecher …"
Xia Ruofei's demonic claws tickled the soft flesh on Ling Qingxue's waist. Ling Qingxue was tickled so much that she kept giggling. Xia Ruofei only let her go when she kept begging for mercy.
"Qingxue, there are still a few dishes in the kitchen. Please go down and bring them out." Xia Ruofei said, "I'm going to make a phone call."
"Oh, okay!" Ling Qingxue said. Then she asked, "Why do you suddenly want to make a phone call?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "To coordinate with your hotel! Didn't I just promise you? "
Ling Qingxue stopped and asked, "Ruofei, do you really know the leaders up there?"
"Yes, yes, and there is more than one!" Xia Ruofei said seriously, "I have to think about who I should look for. If the leaders at the national or ministerial level come out, they will be scared out of their wits. That's not good! "
"The more you say, the more ridiculous it is..." Ling Qingxue couldn't help but laugh again. She rolled her eyes at Xia Ruofei and went into the kitchen to bring out the dishes.
Ling Qingxue naturally thought that Xia Ruofei was joking. She didn't know that Xia Ruofei was actually telling the truth.
Now Xia Ruofei was thinking about who to find to coordinate this matter. Whether it was Master Song or Tian Huilan, their ranks were frightening. Deputy Secretary-General Lin was just a divisional cadre. Asking them to come out was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!
After thinking about it, Xia Ruofei really thought of a suitable person. He immediately found the number in his phone's address book and dialed it...
