While Liu Hong was arranging for the leaders to sit in the private room, Zhou Youliang and He Ying also arrived at the banquet hall. After seeing Lu Tao, Zhou Youliang first apologized to him, saying that he and He Ying were caught in a car accident when they rushed over from the county police station, causing a traffic jam, so they were late. Lu Tao quickly said that the banquet had not started yet, so they were not considered late. Then, he brought them to the VIP table. Zhou Youliang first smiled and wished Lu Tao's mother a happy birthday. Then, he greeted Luo Qiulin, Su Yetai, and the other leaders. Lu Tao then introduced him to Chen Pei.
At this time, Liu Hong had already arranged for the private rooms. He walked over to Luo Qiulin and the others and said, "Leaders, please go to the private room in the Xiaoxiang Hall behind the banquet hall. It's quieter in the private room, so it can avoid the noise in the banquet hall. It's also convenient for the leaders to chat."
Luo Qiulin was afraid that Chen Pei would not go to the private room, so he smiled and said, "Chief Chen, I think Mr. Liu's suggestion is very good. Let's go to the private room together! You've helped so much for Taolin County's finance. Coincidentally, a few of our county committee members are here today. When the time comes, we want to toast you to express our gratitude. "
Although Chen Pei did not want to go to the private room, she did not want to reject Luo Qiulin's invitation. She could only stand up and say to Xia Bingbing, who was beside her, "Sister Bingbing, come with us to the private room!"
Xia Bingbing looked up at Luo Qiulin and hesitated.
Luo Qiulin quickly said, "Little Xia, come in and sit with us. Last time, when we went to the provincial finance department to get the subsidies for the construction of the new village, you contributed the most. Later, I'll toast you to thank you for your hard work for the construction of Taolin County's financial resources! "
When Xia Bingbing heard his words, she could not help but feel moved. She quickly stood up and thanked him. Then, she held Chen Pei's hand and walked into the private room.
At this time, Liu Hong was calling Su Yetai, Du Shangwu, Fu Lei, Xie Benzhu, and the other leaders to go to the private room together. However, when it was He Ying's turn, she pouted and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry. I don't want to go to the private room. Today is not a normal gathering for friends. It's Lu Tao's mother's birthday banquet. A birthday banquet is supposed to be lively. If you think it's noisy, why are you here to drink? "
Liu Hong knew that she didn't want to sit at the same table as Li Weijun, so he didn't force her. He laughed and cupped his hands to her, saying, "Thank you for teaching me." Then, he went to invite the next person.
He Ying saw that Lu Tao was discussing something with his sister at the reception desk. She walked over and said to him, "Lu Tao, come with me. I have something to say to you."
Lu Tao was a little surprised and followed her to a corner. He Ying asked with a straight face, "Lu Tao, you're celebrating your mother's birthday with such fanfare today. Don't you think about the negative impact at all? Also, why were Luo Qiulin, Li Weijun, and Liu Hong here? Did you invite them here? What are you trying to do? "
Lu Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Why would I invite them? Liu Hong, Li Weijun, and the Liu sisters were all invited by Du Xiaoyu. As for Secretary Luo, Deputy Secretary Du, and Director Qiu, they were probably invited by Liu Hong. I didn't know anything about it beforehand. When they came in just now, I was also very confused. But Xiaoyu said that there is a rule here in the peach forest. Anyone who comes to celebrate an elder's birthday has to welcome them with a smile, no matter how big the grudge was in the past. Otherwise, it would be rude. I couldn't help it! "
He Ying sneered and said, "You look fresh and smart, but it turns out that you're a red toilet bowl. You look good on the outside, but you're a mess inside. You don't even have a basic sense of judgment. I can tell you that this is a honey trap set by Liu Hong and Li Weijun! I can conclude that your current girlfriend, Du Xiaoyu, is Liu Hong's youngest daughter. She took the initiative to pursue you, so it should be Liu Hong's arrangement. The purpose is to resolve the hatred between you and the Liu family, and to try to pull you into their interest group. Now open your eyes and look. How many O 'Neal employees are in this banquet hall? They are not related to you at all. Why would they come to celebrate your mother's birthday and give red packets? "
When Lu Tao heard the words "honey trap," he was shocked. He stared at He Ying and nodded. "Commissar He, your analysis makes sense. Du Xiaoyu hasn't told me the real relationship between her and the Liu family, but I can tell that she is Liu Hong's youngest daughter. Don't worry, I will take care of the banquet today properly. "
"What are you going to do?" He Ying asked.
Lu Tao hesitated for a moment before replying, "I have already told my sister to register the names of all the people who came to send gifts. After the birthday banquet, I will return all the red envelopes sent by the people of O 'Neal Hotel to Du Xiaoyu, including those sent by Liu Hong, Li Weijun, Liu Feiyan and Liu Shuangyan."
He Ying nodded and said, "That's more like it. Also, you have to take care of your relationship with Du Xiaoyu. Last time I chatted with her at your house for a while. In my judgment, she is a relatively pure and kind person. She may really like you. But because this matter involves the Liu family and the O 'Neal group, you have to be very careful. You should know very well that Liu Hong is the biggest gang leader in Taolin County. Their group is full of crimes. Sooner or later, they will be uprooted. As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps. If you become the son-in-law of the Liu family, it is equivalent to entering a big black dye vat. Even if you are innocent, you will be dyed black. "
Lu Tao thoughtfully turned to look at Du Xiaoyu who was busy arranging the seats. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He said to He Ying, "Commissar He, thank you for your reminder. I will seriously consider your suggestion."
At this time, Song Xitang hurriedly walked out of the private room in the banquet hall. He waved at Lu Tao and said, "Little Lu, the leaders are waiting for you in the private room. Go accompany them first and then come out to socialize. Xiaoyu and I can handle the banquet hall here."
Lu Tao hurriedly followed him into the private room and happened to hear Chen Pei praising Xia Bingbing. "Secretary Luo, County Mayor Su, since I started working, I have been to many county and city finance bureaus. I have also interacted with many grassroots finance officials. But Sister Bingbing left the deepest impression and I admire her the most. She gave me the impression that she is strict, hardworking, and has a strong sense of responsibility. For the sake of your county's financial resources, she can be said to be selfless and exhausted. I think that a leader like Sister Bingbing should be looked at more highly, loved more, and nurtured more! "
