Other than Song Rui and Lu You, who knew about the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Master Song, who looked normal, the young people at the table looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The other members of Family Song who were sitting at the other tables, including some side branches of the family and some leaders in Beijing who were very close to the Family Song, didn't notice Xia Ruofei sitting at the table of the younger generation. Now that Master Song said this, they all looked in the direction of the voice.
Although many people didn't know Xia Ruofei, they were very familiar with the younger generation at the table. The only person who looked unfamiliar was naturally Xia Ruofei.
In an instant, Xia Ruofei became the focus of the whole scene.
At this time, a dignified middle-aged leader next to Master Song smiled and said, "Little Xia, why are you in a daze? The chief asked you to come and sit! "
Liu Jian, who was sitting opposite Xia Ruofei, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Because the leader who spoke was none other than Liu Jian's father, Liu Xiangbin. He was the executive deputy minister of a ministry and a leader at the ministerial level. Just now, he was qualified to talk to Master Song in the hall in the backyard.
Liu Xiangbin had already seen Xia Ruofei's position in Master Song's heart in the backyard, so he naturally invited Xia Ruofei.
But his intimate words to Xia Ruofei made Liu Jian's heart tremble.
And the foppish young masters at Xia Ruofei's table looked at Liu Jian with strange expressions.
Although Xia Ruofei was very calm, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable under the gaze of so many people. He secretly smiled bitterly, stood up and said, "Chief, I'm fine here. I don't want to go to your place to join in the fun …"
After everyone heard Xia Ruofei's words, they felt that it was unreal. Master Song personally invited a young man, but he actually rejected it?
What was even more unbelievable was that Master Song was not offended at all. He just casually waved his hand and said, "Haha! Do as you please! Xiao Rui, drink a few more cups for me and Xiao Xia! "
Song Rui said respectfully, "Yes, Grandpa!"
In front of Master Song, the unruly Song Rui was a pure and innocent child.
At this time, Song Zhengping and Tian Huilan naturally noticed the strange seating arrangement of Xia Ruofei and the others. They looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.
It seemed that the wishful thinking of both sides' parents didn't seem to be able to make Song Rui and Lu You have feelings for each other. They also secretly smiled bitterly at this.
However, the two ministerial leaders didn't blame Xia Ruofei. First of all, Xia Ruofei's relationship with Song Rui and Lu You was very good. Second of all, Song Rui and Lu You didn't like each other. This was the main reason. Whether Xia Ruofei sat in that seat or not, it didn't matter much.
If it was an ordinary rich family, the wishes of the younger generation wouldn't have much effect on this kind of political marriage. However, it was a little special in this case.
Lu You's father passed away very early. Tian Huilan was busy most of the time with work. He always felt that he owed his daughter. Although she wanted to marry Family Song, if Lu You's opposition was strong, she couldn't force her too much.
On Song Rui's side, Master Song's arrangement for his children's marriage was relatively strong. However, for his grandchildren, Song Rui, perhaps because of the generational gap, he was relatively democratic. If Song Rui firmly disagreed with this marriage, Master Song would probably make other considerations. There were many girls of the right age from other families. In the end, they would find Song Rui who was pleasing to the eye.
Of course, now they didn't know that Song Rui was interested in Song Wei's classmate, Zhuo Yiyi, who came from an ordinary family. Otherwise, they would definitely obstruct it. Democracy was always relative. In general, rich and powerful marriages still paid attention to the social status.
Tian Huilan also smiled and said, "Youyou, please respect Ruofei for me."
Lu You looked indifferent. She nodded gently and said, "I know …"
Tian Huilan's words made the young people at the table dumbfounded. They originally wanted to see how Tian Huilan and Song Zhengping would react when they found out about the three people's strange seating arrangement. However, they never thought that there would be such a possibility. Tian Huilan wasn't angry at all, and Song Zhengping, who was next to her, wasn't surprised either. Instead, he smiled and nodded.
The playboys felt that their brains weren't enough to understand.
They felt more and more confused about Xia Ruofei, a young man who suddenly appeared among them. As they got to know him better, the mysterious fog around Xia Ruofei became thicker and thicker.
However, there was no doubt that Xia Ruofei wasn't on the same level as them. Previously, they felt that Xia Ruofei was on the same level as them, but now it was completely reversed. It turned out that Xia Ruofei wasn't on the same level as them. He was directly on the same level as their parents …
Director Zhang of the Central Office naturally saw this scene. Although he didn't know Xia Ruofei's identity, Master Song's obvious attitude made him pay attention to Xia Ruofei. At the same time, he decided to go back and find out more about Xia Ruofei's situation. After all, a young man who could be valued by Master Song was definitely not simple.
Xia Ruofei's matter was just a small interlude. After Master Song and the other leaders arrived and took their seats, the birthday banquet began very quickly.
The staff served up steaming hot and delicious dishes, and the people at each table began to exchange toasts and toasts.
However, there were many leaders present today, and there was also the mysterious Xia Ruofei. Therefore, the atmosphere at the younger generation's table was more or less dull. Everyone was a little cautious.
However, General Zhao's son, Zhao Yongjun, had a forthright personality. Previously, he didn't look down on Xia Ruofei because of his low birth. Later on, he didn't have a trace of fear towards Xia Ruofei because of Master Song like the others.
Zhao Yongjun saw that everyone was a little restrained, so he laughed and raised his cup towards Xia Ruofei. He said, "Brother Xia, let's toast!"
Song Rui said lazily, "Brother Zhao, you should really toast Ruofei on behalf of Uncle Zhao!"
Zhao Yongjun asked curiously, "Xiao Rui, what do you mean? Could it be that Brother Xia has had dealings with my father before? "
The young people at the table also pricked up their ears. They were now very curious about Xia Ruofei. Even Lu You couldn't help but turn to look at Xia Ruofei.
Song Rui, however, smiled mischievously and said, "Big Brother Zhao, in any case, I definitely won't lie to you. You just need to toast me. As for why, you'll know when you go back and ask Uncle Zhao."
Everyone was disappointed when they heard this. Zhao Yongjun also smiled and said, "You brat, you're still keeping me in suspense … But even if you don't say it, I still want to toast Brother Xia!"
Xia Ruofei raised his wine cup and stood up. He said, "Brother Zhao, don't listen to Song Rui's nonsense. Come come come, let's drink this cup of wine together. It doesn't matter who toasts who, let's just say we're toasting each other!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Toasting each other! Toasting each other! "Zhao Yongjun said with a hearty laugh.
Separated by Song Rui and Song Wei, the two leaned forward and clinked their cups. Then, they very straightforwardly raised their heads and downed the white wine in their cups.
Zhao Yongjun wiped his mouth and said, "Those who have been in the military drink so straightforwardly! Brother Xia, I'll be friends with you! Don't forget to contact me when you come to Beijing in the future! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "As long as Brother Zhao has wine, I'll definitely harass you every time I come to Beijing!"
"Hahaha! Enough Maotai! "Zhao Yongjun said with a hearty laugh.
After Zhao Yongjun started, the young people at the table gradually loosened up. Liu Jian, who was a little disrespectful to Xia Ruofei before, took the initiative to walk over with a wine cup and said, "Brother Xia, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I'll toast to you. I'll finish it as you please!"
Xia Ruofei's personality was originally more easy-going, and Liu Jian and the others just gave him the cold shoulder just now. They didn't use their power to bully him, and now that they took the initiative to lower their posture, he naturally wouldn't put on airs.
Xia Ruofei also picked up his wine cup and stood up. After clinking glasses with Liu Jian, he said, "Young Master Liu, you're too serious. We're all young people. If we talk and act like old men, it'll be boring!"
Liu Jian quickly said, "Brother Xia, don't call me Young Master Liu! I don't deserve it! You can just call me Xiao Jian. Brother Rui and the others all call me that … "
"Alright, Xiao Jian, let's have a toast!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. Then, he tilted his head back and drank a small glass of white wine.
Young people valued face the most. Although Liu Jian lowered his posture and said something to let Xia Ruofei do whatever he wanted, Xia Ruofei still made him feel very proud. After all, Xia Ruofei was someone that even Master Song valued so much. He was one of a kind among the younger generation!
So, Liu Jian quickly said, "Brother Xia, I should be the one to drink first!"
After that, he hurriedly drank the glass of wine, then immediately poured another glass and said, "I'll add another glass!"
Then, as if he was afraid that Xia Ruofei would stop him, he drank another glass without saying anything.
Xia Ruofei smiled, patted Liu Jian's shoulder and said, "Don't drink too fast. Eat some food to calm down!"
The Maotai wine with more than 50% alcohol was still relatively strong. Liu Jian drank two glasses in a row and felt a wave of alcohol rush up. He smiled at Xia Ruofei gratefully, then returned to his seat and ate a few mouthfuls of food.
When the other young people at the table saw that Xia Ruofei was so approachable, they all became lively and came to toast him one by one.
Xia Ruofei's alcohol tolerance was already amazing, and after cultivating, it was even more amazing. He probably wouldn't have a problem drinking a few liters of this kind of white wine. Naturally, he didn't mind drinking in a small glass of two cents. So, no matter who came to toast him, he drank it all in one gulp.
In the eyes of these foppish young men, one's alcohol tolerance represented one's character. Xia Ruofei's forthright drinking style also won their favor.
Originally, Song Rui should have been the main character at this table, but now the limelight was all stolen by Xia Ruofei. However, he didn't care at all. Instead, he happily watched Xia Ruofei deal with one foppish young man after another.
After Xia Ruofei dealt with this group of people with great difficulty, he was about to take a breath. Lu You, who was next to him, also raised her glass to Xia Ruofei and said, "I'll also toast to you."
Xia Ruofei put down the chopsticks that he had just picked up. He picked up the glass without hesitation and said, "A beauty is toasting to me. I have to drink this glass!"
Song Rui jeered, "Ruofei, change to a bigger glass! This small glass is too insincere! "
The foppish young men still didn't understand the situation between the three of them, so they didn't join in the fun. However, they all turned their attention to this side with great interest.
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "No problem, a bigger glass it is!"
There were also glasses for drinking red wine on the table. A glass was about two ounces. Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate to take the wine bottle and fill a glass.
Lu You hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't drink so fiercely … a small glass is fine!"
The foppish young men's eyes suddenly became strange. Miss Lu actually cared about someone, and in front of Young Master Song. This scene was really strange …
Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said, "It's okay! I can still drink a glass of wine! Lu You, a toast to you! "
After that, Xia Ruofei took the initiative to clink glasses with Lu You. Then, he gulped down the big glass of white wine and showed the bottom of the glass to Lu You.
When Lu You saw that Xia Ruofei didn't listen to her advice, she couldn't help but gently glare at Xia Ruofei with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes. Seeing this, the foppish young men were even more surprised, and the fire of gossip in their hearts burned brighter and brighter …
However, since Xia Ruofei had already drunk, Lu You had nothing to persuade him anymore. She could only drink the wine in her glass.
She drank red wine. After drinking half a glass, a trace of redness appeared on her pink face, which made her look even more delicate and charming.
Lu You picked up a small towel and elegantly wiped her mouth. Then, she leaned over to Xia Ruofei's side and asked softly, "Have you helped Uncle Zhao Cheng with anything?"
Lu You was also quite curious about what Song Rui had just said. Although she could feel that the foppish young men at the table were looking at her and Xia Ruofei with a somewhat ambiguous gaze, she couldn't help but ask this question.
Xia Ruofei also leaned over and whispered with a smile, "Take a guess!"
Lu You couldn't help but glance at Xia Ruofei with some coquettishness and said, "Do you think that I can't guess if you don't say it? Although you are a little bad, your medical skills are still good. You most likely treated Uncle Zhao's illness, right? "
Lu You saw that Xia Ruofei was smiling but didn't say anything. She couldn't help but whisper again, "You can only show off your medical skills and your company's Taoyuan vegetables. It can't be that you gave Uncle Zhao a basket of vegetables, right?"
Speaking of this, Lu You couldn't help but burst out laughing. Miss Lu, who had always been as cold as ice, had such a charming smile on her face, which made the foppish young men at the table widen their eyes.
Even if they had already witnessed too many incredible things from Xia Ruofei today and their minds were a little numb, when they saw this scene, they still couldn't help but say in their hearts, "F * ck …"
Liu Jian and the others also spontaneously felt a sense of admiration for Xia Ruofei — this Brother Xia was really super awesome! In front of so many Family Song's third generation, he openly poached Song Rui. Fierce! It was really fierce!
Lu You also felt the ambiguous gaze in everyone's eyes. She couldn't help but blush slightly and ask in a low voice, "Is it true or not? Say something! "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "You're smart. The last time you came to Beijing, it just so happened that you helped General Zhao Cheng treat his diabetes. But don't make this matter public! I'm afraid of trouble … "
"I'm not a child. Do you think I don't know what's important?" Lu You said.
After getting the answer, Lu You sat up straight in satisfaction. However, the way she and Xia Ruofei leaned close to whisper just now had already been seen by these young foppish young men. Even the people at the other tables had already seen it.
