Li Rui was puzzled. How could he be tired by plane? He was scared, which was worse than being tired. His heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the boss was secretly laughing at him for being too scared during the flight? Did he see what I was scared of? "
He closed the door and went back to the room. He opened the suitcase and took out the local specialties he had bought, including a box of five-colored dried fruits, a box of wild honey, a silkworm sand cold pillow, and a copper print, which was one of the specialties of Qingyang City.
He put these gifts on the TV cabinet and said to Xu Xinyi, "Miss Xu, these are the local specialties we brought from Qingyang City this time. These are just a few small things. I hope you don't mind. "Xu Xinyi came over and laughed," Are there any other gifts for me? " Li Rui introduced them to her one by one. She nodded and asked, "Is this your boss's idea?" Hearing that, Li Rui was a little embarrassed. Thinking that she had given him such a precious silver key pendant last time, he felt ashamed that he had to rely on the boss to buy a gift for her when he came to Shanghai this time. After thinking for a while, he turned back and walked to his briefcase. After fumbling in it for a while, he took out the bracelet that the boss gave him when he bought the lapis lazuli ornament of Yu Hualong.
The bracelet was also in a box. The box was an ordinary paper shell, which looked shabby. Fortunately, the surface of the box was simple and unadorned. At first glance, it looked presentable.
Li Rui took the box to Xu Xinyi and handed it to her. He pretended to be frank and said, "You're right. These local specialties are my boss's idea. But this is my idea." Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "Your idea? You're interested in it? " She took the box. As soon as she opened the lid, a blue light flashed across her snow-white cheeks. At the same time, she opened her mouth and said in surprise, "It's so beautiful!"
Li Rui was secretly happy. He thought, "It's good that you think it's beautiful. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to give it to you."
In fact, the price of this bracelet was not cheap. When it was displayed in the jade shop, the price was more than 1,200 yuan. Although there was still room for bargaining, it could still be considered a valuable gift. Li Ruixin felt that it was about the same price as her silver key pendant.
Xu Xinyi took the jade bracelet out of the box and looked at it carefully for a while. She fumbled with it for a while before putting it on her snow-white wrist. She sighed and said, "It's so beautiful. What jade is this bracelet made of?" Li Rui said, "Lapis lazuli, uh, although this type of gem is not particularly famous, it was very popular with the royal family during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The roof of the Temple of Heaven is made of lapis lazuli. "
These words were all said by the owner of the jade shop. At this time, he relayed them to Xu Xinyi, and felt that he had raised the grade of this bracelet by a lot.
Xu Xinyi came to a realization and said, "I've been to the Temple of Heaven before. The ceiling is indeed this color. Tsk tsk, you're so considerate. You actually prepared such a precious gift for me. "She then looked at him with a smile. Li Rui smiled apologetically but secretly felt ashamed. If the shop owner did not know how to do business and gave him this jade bracelet, he would not have a gift for her.
Xu Xinyi put the bracelet back into the box and held it with both hands solemnly. She said, "I'll accept your gift. As for your boss' gift, hehe, I don't want it." Li Rui was shocked and said, "How can that be? You must accept it. This is a gift from my boss. " Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "I don't deserve it. I didn't do anything, and I even said bad things about Green Sun in front of Chief Zheng. It's good enough that your boss doesn't hate me, but he still wants to give me a gift? Even if he wants to give it to me, I don't have the face to accept it. " She then giggled and said, "As for your gift, it's considered a private exchange between us as friends. It has nothing to do with work, so I'll be thick-skinned and accept it." Li Rui said, "That won't do. I brought it all the way here. You can't accept it. Do you want me to fly it back to Green Sun? "
Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "You're giving it to our Chief Zheng." Li Rui said, "He gave it to you. You should accept it. This is for you. Even if the investment doesn't work out, we're still friends. Why can't you accept it? "Xu Xinyi only shook her head. Li Rui had an idea and said, "How about this? If you don't accept this local product, then you don't have to accept my gift either." Xu Xinyi was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, "Why should I?" Li Rui said, "If you don't give me face as a friend, then let's not be friends anymore. If we're not friends anymore, why should I give you a gift? "Xu Xinyi frowned and smiled." But these things are too heavy. I can't carry them. "Li Rui said," If worst comes to worst, I'll send them to your house. I'll carry them for you. "Xu Xinyi pretended to be worried. She pouted her red lips and acted coquettishly with him. Li Rui saw her acting like a little girl and secretly praised how charming she was. He smiled and said, "Do you want them or not?" Xu Xinyi sighed faintly and said, "I've never seen a rascal like you. Alright, I'll accept them. But, humph, if you really want to send them to my house, I don't have the strength to carry them. " Li Rui was amused and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that the valiant, resolute, business-oriented beautiful assistant of the world's largest pharmaceutical company would have a time when she acts coquettishly."
Xu Xinyi said, "Do you know what kind of image you have in my heart?" Li Rui was stunned and said, "What image?" Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "You, a government official who doesn't look like a government official at all." Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "How am I not like one?" Xu Xinyi said, "You just don't look like one!" She looked at her watch and said, "I can't talk to you anymore. I still have something to do. I'll go out for a while. Let's talk later." She walked out. Li Rui hurriedly asked, "Are you still coming for dinner?" Xu Xinyi turned around and smiled, "I'm coming. You've given me so many gifts. I have to toast you with a glass of wine. Haha." She winked at him and opened the door to leave.
Her expression when she winked was cute and charming. Paired with her beautiful face, she was really mesmerizing!
Li Rui saw it and was stunned. After she left, he revealed a happy expression.
At 6 pm, the banquet officially started.
Song Chaoyang sat at the head of the table. On her right was Sun Shuqin and her daughter. On her left was her old classmate, Zheng Haimin. Zheng Haimin's assistant, Xu Xinyi, sat next to Zheng Haimin and Li Rui sat next to Song Xue. Li Rui and Xu Xinyi sat opposite each other and were the closest to each other.
Li Rui liked this delicate and elegant female assistant very much and would occasionally glance at her. Xu Xinyi didn't look at him most of the time. She would only look at him occasionally. Whenever this happened, she would quickly turn her face away or lower her head with an inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth.
Zheng Haimin was a slightly plump man of average height. He had the face of a common son-in-law, just like the famous movie star, Guo Tao. He always had a smile on his face and was harmless to others. It was easy for people to have a good impression of him. In fact, this vice president was forthright and generous. He didn't care about trifles when he spoke and did things. He only said a few words to his old classmate, Song Chaoyang, and Li Rui had developed a sense of respect for him.
Before the banquet started, Zheng Haimin had already made a promise. Although the investment environment in Qingyang City wasn't perfect, in order to take care of his old classmate, he had to build a pharmaceutical factory there. This promise immediately lifted the atmosphere of the banquet and didn't lower it after that.
During the banquet, Li Rui and Xu Xinyi, as the subordinates of the two big shots, poured wine for each other from time to time. Naturally, the two of them also poured wine for each other and toasted two glasses.
Xu Xinyi couldn't hold her liquor. After two glasses, she didn't drink anymore. Even so, her face was already red. Under the illumination of the lights in the private room, her face was shining and beautiful. Li Rui, who was sitting opposite her, feasted his eyes on her and didn't even have the mood to eat.
When the banquet ended, it was already past 8: 30. Song Chaoyang asked Li Rui to bring the gift prepared for Zheng Haimin. Li Rui had brought the ornament of the Yu Hualong in his briefcase early in the morning. He got up, took the briefcase, took out the ornament and its base, and placed it in front of Zheng Haimin with both hands.
Zheng Haimin couldn't stop praising it when he saw it. Li Rui took the opportunity to tell him the origin of the lapis lazuli. When Zheng Haimin heard that the roof of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing was paved with this kind of jade, he was very surprised and cherished this treasure even more.
After leaving the private room, Li Rui followed Song Chaoyang's instructions and stuffed the remaining two local specialties into the trunk of Zheng Haimin's car.
After Zheng Haimin left, Xu Xinyi said coquettishly to Li Rui, "Hey, can you also move my share into the car? I really don't have the strength, and I drank too much, so I feel a little dizzy when I walk. "Li Rui smiled and said," I'm willing to serve the beauty. "Xu Xinyi giggled and said," Then why don't you go? "
Li Rui returned to the hotel room, took the gifts downstairs to the parking lot, and put them into the trunk of Xu Xinyi's car. He asked worriedly, "You drank, can you still drive?" Xu Xinyi didn't know why, but she deliberately argued with him and said, "I can't drive, will you drive for me?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I also drank, and I'll die if I bump into the traffic police." Xu Xinyi snorted and said, "That's not good. Don't talk nonsense. " Li Rui sighed secretly and said in his heart, "Beauty, I'm just concerned about you. How can you treat my kindness as ill intent?"
