Li Weijun was rejected by Lu Tao in front of so many village secretaries and village directors. He was so embarrassed that his face turned purple. He fiercely glared at Lu Tao and pulled his hand back. He cursed and turned around to leave.
Su Yaoguang saw Li Weijun leave with hatred and hurriedly pulled Lu Tao to the side. He advised in a low voice, "Officer Lu, Secretary Li has a good relationship with Secretary Luo of the county committee. He also calls the leaders of the other departments his brother. He has a lot of prestige in the town and always means what he says. It's best if you don't offend him too much. Otherwise, if you're stationed here, he'll find trouble for you from time to time. Then, he'll report you to the local tax bureau or the organization department. Or he'll rate you as a failure in the public task force's assessment. This will affect your personal reputation and future. What do you think? "
Although Lu Tao felt that Su Yaoguang's words were reasonable, in his heart, he was too disgusted with Li Weijun, this local tyrant who flattered those above and bullied those below. He said to Su Yaoguang, "Branch Secretary Su, I have a principle in life: If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely retaliate! A few days ago, I just came to the village and didn't do anything. In order to show his authority and vent his dissatisfaction with me, he said that I was putting on the airs of an imperial envoy and that I didn't put the village officials in my eyes. If this can be tolerated, what can I tolerate? This kind of person, I will never bow my head to him. Even if he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, if he slandered me and humiliated me, I will fight him back on the spot! "
Su Yaoguang saw that he was so unyielding and couldn't say anything more. He changed the topic and invited him to dinner. Lu Tao said that he had a dinner date and had to rush back to the county. Su Yaoguang didn't want to force him and could only shake his hand and say goodbye.
When Lu Tao got home, it was 5: 30 in the afternoon. He saw the door across from him was half open. He guessed that He Ying was waiting for him to get food so he stood at the door and shouted, "Political Commissar He, are you home?"
He Ying responded and walked to the door. She leaned against the door frame and looked at Lu Tao with a smile that wasn't a smile. She asked, "Little Lu, tell me honestly. Are you treating your girlfriend to dinner tonight and want me to give you a recommendation?"
Lu Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her and said, "Political Commissar He, if I really treated my girlfriend to a meal and invited a beauty like you to be the third wheel, wouldn't I be deliberately angering her to death? What kind of girl would feel inferior and ashamed when compared to you? Wouldn't that be slapping her face? I'm not that stupid! "
His flattery was quite good. He Ying smiled and spat at him lightly. Then, she moved aside and pointed to the kitchen. "I bought all the ingredients according to the menu you gave me. They're all in the kitchen. You can take them to your place and prepare them yourself. Let me make this clear first: my cooking skills are very poor, so I won't help you. I'm only responsible for eating. At most, I'll make tea for your guests. "
Lu Tao agreed with a smile. He deliberately didn't tell her who the guest was. He went to the kitchen and took the vegetables back to his house. He began to wash, cut, and stir-fry the vegetables in the kitchen …
Around a quarter past six, Lu Tao's phone rang. He looked at the number and saw the words "Secretary Zhou" on the screen. He quickly swiped the answer button and heard Zhou Yihong ask in a low voice, "Little Tao, I'm coming to your house soon. How's the meal?"
"It's almost ready. I'm stir-frying the last dish. By the way, can you drink some wine tonight? If you want to drink, what kind of wine would you like to drink? I'll get off the horse and go buy it later! "
Zhou Yihong didn't answer the question of whether he wanted to drink or not. Instead, he asked in an even lower voice, "Did Xiao Ying agree to come to your house for dinner? Did you tell her that I'm coming to your house for dinner? "
Lu Tao heard his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was afraid of being overheard. He couldn't help but feel a little amused. At the same time, he also felt a little emotional. With Zhou Yihong's status, he was usually surrounded by an awe-inspiring entourage. But at this moment, in order to meet his lover, he could only be careful and sneaky. He even had to lower his voice when making a phone call for fear of being overheard. Why bother?
Although Lu Tao sighed in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal any of it in his tone. He replied very seriously, "Political Commissar He agreed to come to my house for dinner, but she didn't know that you were coming over."
"Okay, okay, okay. It's best not to tell her first. I know Xiao Ying's temper. If she knows that I'm coming back for dinner, she definitely won't agree to come over. She might even hide and not see me. By the way, Xiao Ying likes to drink some red wine. If you want to drink tonight, prepare two bottles of red wine! "
Lu Tao quickly agreed. He hung up the phone and walked out of the kitchen. When he was about to go downstairs to the shopping mall to buy red wine, he suddenly saw He Ying push open the half-closed door and come in. She was holding two bottles of Lafite red wine in her hand. She waved the wine in the air and said with a smile, "Little Lu, you treat me to dinner, and I treat you to wine. It's fair, right? This is a 1998 Lafite. It's considered a top-notch wine. Your friend will definitely like it. "
When she appeared at the door, Lu Tao's eyes couldn't help but light up. He saw that she had just taken a shower and changed out of her police uniform. She was wearing a knee-length milky white skirt, a loose T-shirt with red and white stripes, and a pair of ribbons on her feet, which made her beautiful figure look exquisite and graceful. She looked youthful, beautiful, and full of vitality. She didn't look like a young woman who was almost 30 years old at all. She was completely comparable to a young girl in her twenties …
He Ying saw that he was staring straight at her, as if he was obsessed with her. He ignored the 1998 Lafite in her hand and turned a deaf ear to what she had just said. She knew that he had never seen her dressed like this before, so he showed such an infatuated expression. She was slightly happy in her heart, but at the same time, she was a little embarrassed. She blushed and scolded him, "Little Lu, what are you looking at? Didn't you hear what I just said? I brought you wine. Why didn't you say a word of thanks? "
Lu Tao came back to his senses and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Commissar He, you're really beautiful when you dress up like this. You're so beautiful that it's dazzling. I'm a person who has seen a lot of beautiful women, but I was stunned by you just now. If you walk out like this, people will definitely think that you're only 20 years old. If you don't believe me, we can go out and do an experiment now. "
