The two of them clinked their glasses heavily and drank. Zhuang Haixia flipped her glass provocatively for Li Rui to see. Not a single drop of wine flowed out. Li Rui didn't back down and also flipped his glass for her to see. The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Zhuang Haixia ordered two more glasses and said, "Try the seafood here?" Li Rui wasn't used to just drinking and not eating, so he nodded.
Zhuang Haixia ordered three seafood dishes: dried sea snails, spicy fried clams, and vermicelli scallops.
After waiting for a while, the three exquisite seafood dishes were served on the table.
Li Rui sat by the lake, enjoying the scenery of the lake and the sky. He experienced the charm of history and culture, appreciating the fair and graceful woman sitting across from him. He was extremely pleased. Now that he smelled the fresh aroma of the three plates of seafood, he was even more relaxed and happy. It was an indescribable feeling.
The two of them spread out their chopsticks and ate for a while. Zhuang Haixia pointed at the spicy fried clams with her chopsticks and frowned, "Spicy, too spicy. I can't eat it. You eat more." Li Rui smiled and said, "No matter how spicy it is, it can't be as spicy as this wine." Zhuang Haixia said angrily, "Anyway, it's spicy.
Just eat it. "The two of them chatted as they ate. Zhuang Haixia suddenly coughed violently. Li Rui quickly handed her a napkin. Zhuang Haixia took a napkin and covered her mouth. After a while, she calmed down and raised her wine glass, saying, "My life and death have nothing to do with you. But you were willing to take such a huge risk and ran to the coal mine alone to save me. I will never forget this kindness. I also admire your courage. I say, young hero benefactor, let me toast you. Let's not talk too much. It's all in the wine. " Since she said so, Li Rui couldn't refuse. He could only raise his wine glass and clinked it with hers. Once again, they both drank.
Zhuang Haixia didn't hesitate at all. After downing two glasses of wine, he didn't look drunk at all. He beckoned the waiter over and ordered two more glasses.
Although Li Rui had just eaten a lot of seafood, the aftereffects of the alcohol were strong. He slowly became tipsy. His whole body and head were burning. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know that his face and ears were red. However, he was in an extremely good mood. He smiled contentedly and took out his phone. When he saw that there was no message from Lu Qingman, it was good news. He completely relaxed and looked at the time. It was almost 11 PM. It was already late at night, but Houhai was still bustling with people coming and going. It was even livelier than before. Looking at it, one could only gasp in amazement and feel that one's horizons had been broadened.
Li Rui asked, "Which ministry is your grandfather in?" Zhuang Haixia looked at him and said, "The head of the National Development and Reform Commission." Li Rui was shocked and said, "The National Development and Reform Commission? Your grandfather is the head of the National Development and Reform Commission? "Zhuang Haixia said," Ah, why are you so excited? "Li Rui muttered," He's really a big shot. Someone like you, can you be considered a member of the Beijing Prince's Party? "Zhuang Haixia burst out laughing and said," Don't flatter me. Someone like me can't even be considered a prince's hair. How can I be considered a member of the Prince's Party? Tsk. "Li Ruiqi said," Someone like you can't be considered a member of the Prince's Party? "
Zhuang Haixia said, "Have you read a book about the Prince's Party? Other people's research on the Prince's Party is more profound. The entry criteria is that one's father must be a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation. Furthermore, one must have occupied a high position in the Party, Government, and Army and be ready to attack the throne at any time. Based on this criteria, do you think I can be considered a member of the Prince's Party? "Li Rui was very curious about this concept and asked," What book is this? "Zhuang Haixia said," I don't think you've seen what book it is. " After a pause, she said, "The definition and division of the Prince's Party in the book is very strict. The people listed in the book are all real princes. In this day and age, the definition of the Prince's Party has been weakened. Even the son of a committee member can be called a prince. In fact, how can he be considered a prince? As for me, I can't even be considered a prince. "
Li Rui thought about it and felt that this was reasonable. In Beijing, there were countless retired and current national leaders, not to mention countless deputy national leaders. Even if the descendants of these leaders could be included in the Prince's Party, Zhuang Haixia was only the granddaughter of a provincial leader. How could she be included? She was only in a slightly higher position in the government.
Zhuang Haixia took a sip of wine and said, "If you want to come to Beijing to develop your career, I can ask my grandfather to transfer you over." Li Rui asked, "How old is your grandfather this year?" Zhuang Haixia said, "Sixty-four years old." Li Rui muttered, "The retirement age for provincial leaders is sixty-five years old. Your grandfather is also about to retire. Even if he transfers me to Beijing to work in the National Development and Reform Commission, after he retires, I won't be taken care of and won't be able to develop in the future. Moreover, it's hard to be promoted in the government. I'm currently working for Song Shuji in Qingyang. He trusts me a lot and will definitely give me opportunities to develop in the future. Therefore, if you want to develop, it's better to stay in Qingyang. Moreover, my family and wife are all in Shannan. How can I leave them to develop in Beijing? "He shook his head and said," Thank you for your kindness, but I can't come. "
Zhuang Haixia's beautiful eyes widened. She couldn't believe her ears and said, "Are you stupid? How many people would love to be transferred to the central government? Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you know how to cherish it? If you transfer to Beijing, you will have a Beijing household registration. In the future, your children will be able to enjoy the best medical care and education in the country and so on … You said that my grandfather is about to retire and won't be able to take care of you in the future, but he still has subordinates who can take care of you. Moreover, you are smart and capable. You can achieve something on your own. Why do you need others to help you? "
Li Rui nodded shamefully. He raised his wine glass and clinked it with hers. He drank a big mouthful and said with a smile, "Yes, I have a dark mind. I don't want to be promoted through hard work. Instead, I want to ask others to help me. I've made a fool of myself." Zhuang Haixia shook her head and said, "I won't laugh at you. In fact, what you said is the truth. These days, those who can do are not as good as those who can talk. Without someone to protect you, you won't be able to climb up by yourself. "
The two of them drank and chatted until it was past midnight. By this time, each of them had drunk five cups of wine and were both drunk. Li Rui spoke awkwardly and his tongue was big. Zhuang Haixia was not much better than him. The light in her beautiful eyes was a little sluggish, but she still wanted to drink. Li Ruixin said that tonight was bad. He drank so much unknowingly. This wine was really strong. He didn't feel anything when he drank it, but the after-effects were strong enough. He silently drank until he was drunk. He had to go back to the hotel immediately. Otherwise, he would make a fool of himself.
He said, "It's time to go. I won't drink anymore." Zhuang Haixia asked, "Where … where are we going?" Li Rui said, "I'm going back to the hotel. You … you go back to your house." Zhuang Haixia giggled foolishly and said, "Oh no, I don't know … where your hotel is." Li Rui took out his wallet and took out a business card. This was the hotel's business card. The approximate location of the hotel was drawn on the card. He wrote down the address and contact number of the hotel and said, "Don't worry, I know where it is. Let's go."
Zhuang Haixia called the waiter to pay the bill. Li Rui happened to be holding his wallet and took out a few large bills to pay the bill.
Although this meal was not sumptuous, it cost more than six hundred yuan. Li Rui was shocked. He thought to himself that the capital was indeed the capital. If you didn't have money, you really couldn't afford to eat.
Zhuang Haixia saw that he rushed to pay the bill and didn't say anything. She supported herself on the table and stood up, saying, "I'm dizzy. Hehe, help me." Li Rui said, "I'm still dizzy." Zhuang Haixia smiled and said, "Then let's help each other." Li Rui had no choice but to walk over and hold her arm. Zhuang Haixia was very generous. She directly wrapped her arm around his and said affectionately, "Let's go."
If the two of them walked separately, it would be a bit wobbly. But when they walked together, they walked steadily. Li Rui was being hugged so intimately. He felt a bit nervous. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Qingman also couldn't sleep and brought Du Weiyu here to play? If they really bumped into him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he jumped into the lake. "
The two of them walked out of the bar street and came to the car. Zhuang Haixia said, "You said you know the way. Then … then you drive. I can't drive. If I drive again, I'll definitely hit the traffic police." Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "How can I know the way? I just roughly know … know the location of this hotel. You … you drive. "Zhuang Haixia snorted and said," When we came here, I was the one driving. When we go back … you have to drive. "Li Rui complained," I don't know the way. "Zhuang Haixia said," I … I'll show you the way. "Li Rui said," But I didn't bring my driver's license. "Zhuang Haixia said," Don't worry. It's already so late. Which traffic police will come out to check on you? People also need to sleep. "
Li Rui was helpless. He could only get into the driver's seat. After Zhuang Haixia sat down, she started the engine and slowly drove forward.
Li Rui often drove Dong Jieyu's Audi. He was no stranger to driving Audi. He drove methodically and without any hesitation. Zhuang Haixia praised, "Not bad." Li Rui said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and show me the way." Zhuang Haixia smiled and guided him.
