Fatty Liang saw Du Xiaoyu's strange look and asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, have you met Mr. Lu before?"
Du Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "No."
Lu Tao smiled and introduced himself, "Hello Xiaoyu, I'm Lu Tao. My hometown is Qingxi County, Huaisha City. I'm from the same hometown as Section Chief Lin, Mr. Liang, and Miss Susu. I'm currently working at the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau in Songshan City. I heard from Section Chief Lin that your hometown is also in Taolin County, so we can be considered half from the same hometown. Hahaha! "
When Du Xiaoyu heard that he was working in Taolin County's Local Taxation Bureau, her face revealed a trace of surprise again. She smiled sweetly and said, "Since you're working in Taolin County, that's your hometown. You and I are from the same hometown. Why do you say that we're half from the same hometown? Are you going to be transferred out of Taolin soon? "
Lu Tao saw that she was not as cold and arrogant as Lin Hua and Fatty Liang said. Her smile was subtle, but also very refreshing and charming. Taking a closer look at her face shape and facial features, it was indeed very similar to Zhao Liying's, but the feeling she gave off was more innocent and pleasing to the eye than Zhao Liying. She was indeed a rare beauty, no wonder Lin Hua was so infatuated with her …
So he smiled and replied, "Xiaoyu, the term 'fellow from the same hometown' is based on local conditions. It's not a fixed concept, right? In the provincial capital, I'm from Qingxi County and work in Taolin County, so people from these two places are my fellow from the same hometown. In other provinces, people from Nanjiang Province can be called fellow from the same hometown. But in other provinces, as long as they are from our motherland, they can be called fellow from the same hometown. As for why I say I'm half from the same hometown, it's because I've been working in Taolin for more than three years. I don't know if I'll be transferred out of Taolin County in the future, so I'm temporarily called fellow from the same hometown. It's more rigorous this way. What do you think? "
Du Xiaoyu smiled and didn't say anything. She sat on a chair according to Lin Hua's arrangement. Lin Hua sat on her right hand side and gestured to Lu Tao to sit with Lin Susu.
Du Xiaoyu's eyes had been intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Lu Tao. Seeing him walk over and sit beside Lin Susu, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Liang, Sister Susu, how did you meet Mr. Lu? Was it Division Chief Lin who introduced you? "
Fatty Liang said jokingly, "Little Yu, Mr. Lu and I are friends. Our first meeting was not introduced by Division Chief Lin, but by a fight. It's the same for Susu."
Du Xiaoyu had a confused expression on her face. "No discord, no concord? Did you quarrel with Mr. Lu? "
Lin Susu quickly explained, "Xiao Yu, don't listen to Mr. Liang's nonsense. We have never quarreled with Mr. Lu. Do you remember when I called you in the middle of the night and told you that I was bullied? "
"Yes, I remember. At that time, you were very anxious. You said that the son of the deputy mayor surnamed Min came to the bar to cause trouble again and humiliated, beat, and scolded you. Fortunately, there was a customer who was good at martial arts who stood up and taught those hooligans a lesson, so you took advantage of the chaos to escape. "
She suddenly realized something and turned to look at Lu Tao. She sized him up and then looked at Lin Susu and asked in disbelief, "Sister Susu, was the customer who saved you that night Mr. Lu?"
Lin Susu nodded and said, "Yes, it was Mr. Lu. If he didn't go on stage to help me that night, I don't know how I would have been humiliated by Min Xiaojun. I still feel a little scared when I think about it. "
Du Xiaoyu nodded and turned to look at Lu Tao again. There was a strange look in her eyes. She said, "I didn't expect you to be a martial arts master. Sorry for the disrespect!"
Lin Hua had been paying attention to Du Xiaoyu's every move. Seeing that after learning that Lu Tao had saved Lin Susu, there seemed to be a hint of admiration and even admiration in her eyes, he felt a little unhappy. He changed the topic and asked Du Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, can you please take a look at this menu? Does it suit your taste? If it doesn't, you can change a few dishes. "As he said that, he handed the menu to Du Xiaoyu.
Du Xiaoyu didn't take the menu and didn't look at him. She said lightly, "Whatever, I don't usually eat much for dinner. Sometimes I'll just eat some fruit. I don't eat much fish or meat, and I don't really like or hate anything. As long as you like it."
Lin Hua awkwardly placed the menu on the table and asked tentatively, "Would you like some red wine? If not, I'll ask the waiter to bring some drinks up. "
Du Xiaoyu glanced at Lu Tao and saw that he was talking to Lin Susu. She suddenly asked, "Sister Susu, are you drinking tonight?"
Lin Susu was stunned. She was about to say no when she saw Lin Hua blinking at her. She suddenly realized and said, "I can drink some red wine, how about you?"
Du Xiaoyu hesitated and said, "Then I'll drink some red wine too! If you all drink, I'll ruin the atmosphere if I don't drink! "
Fatty Liang was looking at his phone when he heard Du Xiaoyu's words. He looked up in surprise and asked, "Xiaoyu, didn't you just say that you don't drink? Why do you suddenly want to drink red wine? You and Susu are going to perform later. If you drink too much and your face turns red, it won't be good if the audience sees it! "
Before Du Xiaoyu could answer, Lin Hua said unhappily with a straight face, "Mr. Liang, I see that you're usually quite sensible. Why are you being so wishy-washy tonight? Xiaoyu isn't a contracted performer. She's only going to perform there occasionally. If she drinks too much, she can just not perform. What's the big deal? As for Su Su, I know how much she can drink. Drinking a few glasses of red wine won't affect her performance on the stage. What's more, even if they blush, they'll put on makeup when they perform. How can the audience see it? "
Fatty Liang saw that Lin Hua was angry and quickly apologized, "Division Chief Lin, I'm sorry. What I said just now was out of professional instinct. I didn't consider tonight's special situation. Please understand! Today is your first time eating with Xiaoyu, so you should drink some wine. "
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Lin Hua brought two bottles of Wuliangye and two bottles of Great Wall dry red wine. He told the waiter to open the red wine first and personally poured half a glass of wine for Du Xiaoyu and Lin Susu …
After drinking a few rounds of wine, Lin Hua was tipsy and began to talk loudly. He started from when he was in school. He said that he was known as a "prodigy" since he was a child. He skipped two grades in elementary school, from third grade to sixth grade. In junior high school, he skipped from first grade to third grade. He was always in the top three of his grade. He was admitted to Fudan University during the college entrance exam. After he finished his master's degree, he was admitted to the provincial tax bureau with first place in the written exam.
