Men and women who were suffering from unrequited love were the most sensitive to the actions of their loved ones. Thus, when he heard Chen Pei's complaints, Zhang Wenqing was immediately convinced of one fact: The daughter of Deputy Secretary Chen, whom he had been painstakingly pursuing, had already fallen in love with Lu Tao, a small local official from the remote Taolin County. Moreover, judging from the way she looked at Lu Tao and the tone of her complaints, she might have taken the initiative to pursue Lu Tao, but Lu Tao didn't seem to appreciate it …
When he thought of this, Zhang Wenqing felt as if a bottle of five different emotions had been knocked over in his heart. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, all sorts of emotions flashed through his mind. He glared at Lu Tao with a jealous gaze and subconsciously clenched his fists. His white teeth were tightly clenched together. He wanted nothing more than to ruthlessly beat Lu Tao up …
Xia Bingbing was a smart person. She quickly noticed the jealousy in Zhang Wenqing's eyes when he looked at Lu Tao. She couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile. Then, she turned her curious gaze to Lu Tao who was talking to Chen Pei. She carefully sized him up again and listened to him talk to Chen Pei in high spirits for a while. Suddenly, her heart throbbed a few times. She couldn't help but think, This kid is too handsome. Not only is his appearance comparable to that of a movie star, but he's also very elegant and witty when he's talking with Chen Pei. He's very gentlemanly and cultured. No wonder Deputy Secretary Chen, the daughter of a rich family, is so infatuated with him …
After respectfully inviting Chen Pei to take a seat, Cai Zhangming quietly elbowed Lu Tao, who was sitting beside him, a few times while she was sipping her tea, indicating that he wanted to invite Chen Pei to dinner tomorrow.
Lu Tao smiled and waited for Chen Pei to drink a few mouthfuls of tea before asking in an inquiring tone, "Peipei, are you free tomorrow afternoon or evening? If you don't have any other business to attend, I'd like to invite you to dinner with us. At the same time, I'd like to ask you about the procedures and requirements for applying for the construction of the new village. "
Chen Pei turned to look at him and said in a half-joking and half-serious tone, "You can treat me to dinner tomorrow, but you have to promise me one thing. Tonight, accompany me to the 'Yaqin Performing Arts Bar' to listen to some music. Don't you like Beijing Opera? There are Peking Opera performances every night in this performance bar. Sometimes there are even live performances by famous Peking Opera actors. Is that okay? "
Before Lu Tao could answer, Cai Zhangming immediately said excitedly, "Section Chief Chen, if you're interested in listening to music, we'll accompany you and Little Lu. I'll treat you! Don't worry, I'll pay for tonight's concert out of my own pocket. I won't reimburse the company! "
Chen Pei turned to look at Cai Zhangming, but didn't say anything.
Xia Bingbing quickly tugged at Cai Zhangming's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Chief Cai, why are you joining in the fun? Section Chief Chen wants to play with Little Lu alone. Can't you tell? "
Cai Zhangming patted his head in realization and said to Chen Pei with a smile, "Section Chief Chen, I'm really old and muddle-headed! You and Little Lu are classmates. It's rare for you to get together, so we won't disturb you tonight. Please help yourself. Here, I'll solemnly invite you to have a meal with us tomorrow at noon or at night. I hope Section Chief Chen will do us the honor! "
Chen Pei was a bit disgusted by this overly enthusiastic and taciturn finance chief, but she couldn't show it in front of Lu Tao. She could only nod her head reservedly and agree to Cai Zhangming's invitation. Then she turned to ask Lu Tao again, "Are you going to listen to music? If not, I'm going home! "
Lu Tao raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Seeing that the hands were pointing at nine o 'clock, he knew that it was time for the performance bar to start. Moreover, he really did like watching Beijing Opera performances, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to music!"
After walking out of the private room, Lu Tao subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Wenqing, only to see the extreme hatred and jealousy in his eyes. He couldn't help but shiver in his heart. It seems that I've completely offended this senior in an important department. Although he's currently working in the Provincial Party Committee Office and has nothing to do with me, I still have to be careful. I can't let my guard down …
On the taxi to the Yaqin Performance Bar, Lu Tao asked curiously, "Peipei, I heard from Senior Zhang Wenqing that you rarely go out to socialize after work. You usually stay at home with auntie to watch TV or read books. How did you know that Beijing Opera would be performing at the Yaqin Performance Bar? Also, you weren't interested in Peking Opera when you were in university. At that time, we organized a fan club for all the students who liked Peking Opera. From time to time, we would organize some social activities. I've never seen you participate. Why do you suddenly like Peking Opera? "
Chen Pei turned her head and stared at Lu Tao with clear eyes. She said faintly, "Don't you know the idiom 'love me, love my dog'? Actually, when we were in university, I knew that you especially liked Beijing Opera. You were a Beijing Opera fan. There were even two times when you performed Beijing Opera at the university's cultural performances. I clearly remember that the first time you went on stage, you acted as Zhuge Liang. The song you sang was the classic part of 'The Empty City Stratagem'. The first line was' I'm looking at the mountain from the city gate tower. ' The second time you went on stage, you performed the 'Sitting in the Palace' part of 'The Fourth Prince Visits His Mother'. You sang with Princess Tie Jing. Am I right? "
Lu Tao stared at Chen Pei with astonishment. He gave her a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "Peipei, your memory is really good. It's completely correct!"
Chen Pei was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I'm actually a very stupid girl. My memory isn't good at all. However, I remember everything about you, including the bits and pieces of our relationship in university. Moreover, the more time passes, the deeper my memory becomes. As for why I didn't participate in your Beijing Opera Fan Club, you should know in your heart! At that time, you and Yang Xiaoting were in love. She followed you wherever you went. Why would I go? I would only add to your worries. Don't you think so? "
These words from the bottom of her heart once again made Lu Tao fall into an awkward situation. He couldn't answer for a long time.
