After ending the call with her mother, Chen Zhou stood up. She said to Zhou Yihong and the others, "Leaders, I have something to do at home, so I have to go back first. If there's a chance next time, I'll gather with all of you. I'm not feeling well today, so I didn't drink. I'll definitely drink more next time. "
Zhou Yihong quickly asked, "?? Did you drive? "
Chen Zhou shook his head. "I didn't drive. I just came here in Chief Li's car. Secretary Zhou, please take a seat. Don't worry about me. I'll just take a taxi back. "
Zhou Yihong stood up and said, "I have something to do too, and it's on the way. You can take my car. I'll take my leave too!"
As he spoke, he shook hands with Fang Xin and Li Tao. He also greeted Su Yetai, Cai Zhangming, and the others before following Chen Zhou. He walked out of the private room.
Chen Zhou? She knew that Zhou Yihong had specially rushed over from Songshan to have this meal with her. The so-called "meeting an important leader" was probably just an excuse. She had a good impression of him, and he had such a deep relationship with Lu Tao. Thus, she took the initiative to ask as soon as she got into the car, "Secretary Zhou, are you in a hurry to meet the leader? If you're not in a hurry, I'd like to invite you to my house for a cup of tea. Right now, the executive deputy mayor of Shaxing City, Min Yonggui, is waiting for me at my house. He came to apologize to me because of the conflict between his son and Lu Tao last night. I'm quite annoyed. If you go, maybe he won't be good? She was in a daze.
Zhou Yihong did not hesitate to drive more than a hundred kilometers to attend the banquet tonight just to get closer to Chen Zhou? He wanted to ask her to bring him to her house to visit her parents when he had the chance. However, he did not expect to achieve this goal today. He did not expect Chen Zhou to invite him to her house at this moment. He could not help but be overjoyed. He quickly said, "That leader did not specify a specific time for the meeting, and he has other social engagements tonight. It's fine if it's a little late. I've always wanted to visit Deputy Secretary Chen and your mother at your house, but I was worried that it would be too presumptuous. Since it's convenient tonight, I'm very happy to visit your house. At the same time, thank you for your invitation. "
Then, he asked in surprise, "What happened between Lu Tao and Deputy Mayor Min's son last night? How did you get involved in this? "
Chen? She then told him about what happened at the Yaqin Performing Arts Bar and the Furong District Public Security Bureau. Zhou Yihong said, "???" Although Lu Tao's actions last night were righteous, he was still a little too impulsive. In a place like the provincial capital, where there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, one had to be careful at all times. Even if one was doing something righteous, one had to think twice before acting. One could not act recklessly, or else it was very likely to cause trouble.
"For example, last night's incident, he could go and stand up for the woman who sang the Peking opera, but he has to pay attention to the method. The first choice is to call the police for help, and the second choice is to go on stage to mediate the fight, but he doesn't have to take sides. He just needs to use his martial arts to separate the two sides and persuade them nicely. I believe that those people are not crazy. As long as the method is right, he can avoid the escalation of the conflict. However, Lu Tao chose to provoke the other party and used his fists and kicks to injure a few of them. If those people were not afraid of your identity, they would be in the detention center now. Am I right? "
Chen? After a moment of silence, he said, "Secretary Zhou, what you said makes sense. But in the situation last night, if I were Lu Tao, I would also teach those arrogant criminals a lesson. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me: I just like Lu Tao's character of daring and being chivalrous and courageous. I look down on those so-called men who do things hesitantly and hesitantly without the slightest bit of guts and courage. Of course, I know that you said these words for Lu Tao's sake. You want him to be more mature and steady. This kind of thinking is also correct. If there's a chance, I will pass on your words to him so that he won't be too impulsive in the future. "
Zhou Yihong nodded happily and said, "It's good that you understand. That's what I meant."
Speaking up to this point, he hesitated for a moment and asked in an inquiring tone, "?? I'll take the liberty to ask, do you have a good impression of Lu Tao? To be honest, I feel that if Lu Tao can find such a beautiful, virtuous, educated, and capable girl like you, it would be the greatest blessing in his life. If his father is still alive and knows that his son has married such an outstanding wife like you, he would definitely be very happy. These are my true thoughts.???????????????????? Please don't take offense! "
Chen? Lowering her head in silence for a moment, she said, "Thank you for your concern and praise. I'm not a shy person and you're a very close elder to Lu Tao, so there's no harm in telling you some things. I really do like Lu Tao. As long as he's willing, I can marry him at any time. But Lu Tao doesn't seem to have that kind of love and affection for me. Sometimes, he even deliberately avoids and alienates me. Of course, I understand him. When he was in university, he fell in love with a female classmate of mine. He was deeply in love with her. Later, that female classmate found another boyfriend, which made him very sad. Perhaps he still hasn't walked out of this sad relationship and his heart can't hold another girl. So, I made a three year promise with him: within three years, I won't find another boyfriend. As long as he has feelings of love and affection for me, I can marry him at any time. This is the current real relationship between Lu Tao and me. I hope Secretary Zhou won't laugh at me. "
Zhou Yihong didn't expect Chen to like Lu Tao so much. Lu Tao actually didn't buy it. He was both happy and anxious. He hurriedly comforted her, "??? I didn't expect you to be so good to Lu Tao, but that guy doesn't appreciate it. He's a typical example of not knowing how lucky he is. Don't worry, the next time I'm alone with him, I'll talk to him. If necessary, I'll teach him a lesson. I'll let him know what's good for him and not see the forest for the trees. A real man needs to have some ambition. That girl has already abandoned him, so why is he still hanging on to that tree? Why can't he start a new relationship with you? Moreover, you're such an excellent woman and you're so good to him. What is he thinking? "
Chen? She originally wanted to persuade him not to talk about this kind of relationship with Lu Tao, but on second thought, he was Lu Tao's elder and also the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Maybe through his work, Lu Tao really would change his mind and accept her feelings. So, she turned to thank him …
At the same time, in the luxurious private room of the Crown Hotel, a fierce drinking competition officially began.
