"Is secretary Lei also invited to dinner by the general? Are you going to the lotus hall, too? " The emperor continued.

"Oh..." Lei Zheng was stunned again, and then said, "Oh, no, I have guests from the province tonight to entertain them It turns out that boss Wu has a dinner party here tonight. Boss Wu and Xiao Yi have an appointment to have dinner here tonight Hehe, good, good Why, why don't you two take the elevator? "

The emperor said: "there are many people coming to eat, and there are many people in the elevator. I'm afraid boss Wu is in a hurry, so I'll climb the stairs with Mr. Yi."

"Well..." Lei Zheng nodded. He seemed to think the emperor's explanation was reasonable. He looked at me again: "Xiaoyi, long time no see."

"I haven't seen Secretary Lei for a long time." I said.

"It's boss Wu's treat tonight. I'd like to join in. Unfortunately, I still have guests here." Lei Zheng said.

"Secretary Lei is a great leader. He manages everything every day. Boss Wu and I have a personal appointment. How dare I ask Secretary Lei to help us?" I said: "of course, if Secretary Lei condescends, he is welcome to have a drink."

"Ha ha, you can go. I'm going to accompany two tables of guests tonight. I have enough time." Lei Zheng said.

"Well Secretary Lei, please go ahead. " The emperor said.

"Well..." Lei Zheng intentionally or unintentionally looked at the emperor again, then at me again, then passed by and walked away.

"Let's go, Secretary Lei." The emperor said to Lei Zheng's back with a smile.

After Lei Zheng passed by, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared, and then he nodded to me, and his voice raised a few decibels: "Mr. Yi - please -"

it seems that the emperor's greeting is for Lei Zheng, who has not gone far.

The emperor and I went directly to the Furong hall and opened the door. In the room, wood was sitting in the middle of the dining table, looking at the menu with a leisurely expression.

Seeing me coming in, wood sat there motionless, smiling: "Mr. Yi is here Come on, please take a seat -- "

with that, wood pointed to the seat next to him, and the emperor immediately went to open the chair.

It seems that this dinner tonight is just wood and I.

I sat down impolitely and nodded to wood: "boss Wu Sorry to have kept you waiting

This is, the emperor leaned up to wood's ear and whispered something. Wood's eyelids slightly picked, then nodded and said calmly, "well, OK, I see."

The emperor winked at me.

I immediately guessed that the emperor seemed to tell wood about Lei Zheng in the corridor just now.

Then Wood said to the emperor, "go down and tell the waiter to serve."

The emperor nodded and then gave me a smile: "Mr. Yi, please sit down and I'll go."

I nodded to the emperor, "thank you for bringing me up in person."

"Mr. Yi is very polite." Then the emperor went out.

Then, the waiter pushed the door in and began to serve and pour wine.

"Mr. Yi, please smoke." Wood pointed to a box of Chinese cigarettes in front of me.

Wood doesn't smoke much, and occasionally he does.

I pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took two slow puffs, and looked at wood.

Wood looked at me with an enigmatic smile on his face.

"Boss Wu is very good recently." I said.

"Well I'm still alive How about you, brother Yi? " Wood said.

"Boss towood, I'm still alive. It seems that I have a good taste." I gave a laugh.

"I'm very glad to see that you have a good life..." Wood nodded.

"I'm glad to hear that you're living a good life." I said.

"Ha ha Thank you for your concern. " Wood said.

At this time, when the food and wine were served, the waiter poured red wine.

Wood said, "we can both serve a drink."

"OK, go ahead -" I took my glass.

Putting down the glass, I said, "it's rare that boss Wu is still thinking about me in his busy schedule. It's rare that you invite me to dinner once I'm really excited to receive your invitation this afternoon. "

"Oh Is it? It seems that I should have invited brother Yi to dinner long ago. It seems that I have neglected brother Yi before. " Wood said.

"It's not too late for revolution. It's not too late to be polite." I picked up my chopsticks to eat and nodded: "well, the fried prawns are very good. They taste good. Come on, you can have some. Don't just drink and talk, don't eat..."

It seems that it's not wood who's having dinner tonight, but me. I'm beginning to persuade wood to eat.

Wood laughed, picked up chopsticks to eat a good meal, and then put down his chopsticks: "since brother Yi has such a good appetite, you should eat more."

"Boss Wu's treat, you must have a good appetite It's necessary. " I continued to munch.

"Eat slowly. Don't choke." Wood said.I looked at wood and said, "why don't you eat? It's a pity that we don't eat such a big table and such a rich dish. "

"Watching you eat, I'm not hungry, I'm full You can eat it. I'll watch you eat it. " Wood said.

"Ha ha..." I put down my chopsticks with a smile: "I'm a rude man who has never seen the world before. Was my eating appearance a shame I'm sorry to make boss Wu laugh. "

"If brother Yi is a rude man who has never seen the world, then I would be a villager." Wood said.

"That's not true. How can I compare with you? You're the one who often travels abroad and meets the world." I said.

"I'm afraid you are not a person who has never been abroad." Wood said.

Obviously, wood was referring to my sneaking across the border to the golden triangle to Thailand.

I grinned: "I really haven't been abroad. I'm not like boss Wu. I can go wherever I want I didn't see you a few days ago. I heard you went to Japan? "

"I just reported my recent whereabouts to you. I didn't expect that Mr. Yi had known for a long time." Wood said.

"No way, who let me care about you very much." I took a sip from my glass while eating.

"However, although I am abroad, I am still very concerned about domestic affairs, especially those of Xinghai." Wood also took a sip from his glass, then slowly put it down.

"Well, it seems that you are wearing a western style dress, heart or Chinese heart. It's rare. It's rare." I said.

"There is no necessary connection between what clothes to wear and what heart to wear?" Wood said.

"Maybe, maybe, maybe." I said, "of course, you may be wearing Hanfu, but you don't know where you've been for a long time."

Wood's eyelids jumped slightly and looked at me without saying a word.

I put down my chopsticks and looked at wood: "Hey - man, why are you always looking at me? Am I handsome? "

"Yes, you are handsome. I want to see you!" Wood nodded.

"Well, you can have a few more eyes, so you won't have a chance to see it in the future." I said.

"If you don't have a chance to see it, there seem to be two possibilities." Wood said.

"Yes, there are two possibilities. Either you have no chance to see me, or I have no chance to let you see me." I took wood's words.

"You're smart." Wood said.

"There is still a big gap compared with you." I said.

"I don't think it's necessary to beat around the bush when talking between smart people." Wood said.

"Yes, it's best to go straight." I said.

"Your people are following me and my people." Wood said directly.

I nodded, "well, yes."

"It's a good answer!" Wood said.

"Dress up, I've sent you all my messages through the banquet." I said: "however, boss Wu, I also know that you must have been arranging for people to follow me Or someone who has something to do with me. "

"You knew it!" Wood said.

"Yes I said.

"I know you already know!" Wood said.

"But you're still stirring up the news." I said.

"If you don't like it, I can get them back." Wood said.

"Goodbye Is it useful to withdraw a batch of discovered ones and then send a batch of more hidden ones? " I said.

"Ha ha I'm afraid the same is true of you? " Wood said.

"Maybe..." I said.

"You see how candid our communication is." Wood said.

"It's tiring to always pretend to be forced. It's OK to be honest once in a while." I said.

"Well..." Wood nodded: "in fact, I want to tell you that the people I sent to follow you can be understood as surveillance or..."

"What is it?" I said.

"It's protecting, it's protecting you and the people associated with you!" Wood smiles.

I was stunned, and then laughed: "boss Wu, you see, you see, I just said pretending to force is very tired, and then you pretended to force You are so humorous. "

"Isn't it good to be humorous? I'm actually speaking from the bottom of my heart I really care about you and want to protect you. " Wood said.

"I absolutely believe that you care about me, but when it comes to protecting me, I really dare not. Do you think I should thank you or blame you..." I said.

"It's your business to understand or not. You can thank me or blame me!" Wood said.

"Hey, hey, if I say that my people are protecting you, will you believe it?" I said.

"Well Of course I believe I'm grateful from my heart. Otherwise, how could the taxi driver you sent back today go back intact and how could I sincerely invite you to dinner? " Wood said."Well It seems that I'm a villain. I misunderstood boss Wu's kindness. " I said, "come on, boss Wu, have a drink for your adult and your sincerity to me."

Wood lifted his glass with a smile.

Putting down my glass, I lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and looked at wood: "boss Wu, you invited me to dinner tonight. I'm afraid it's not just to show your generosity and care for me. There must be something else."

Wood said, "yes."

"Speak --" I said.

"As you know, some time ago I took my people to Japan to relax I haven't been back for a few days. " Wood said slowly, "after I came back, I learned through some channels that something happened in Xinghai during my visit to Japan."

"What's the matter?" I look at wood.

"I heard that Xia Yu, vice president of Sanshui group, was kidnapped I heard the kidnappers extorted a large ransom. " Wood said.

"Oh You know such a thing. " I said.

"Although the scope of knowledge is very small, I still know I'm afraid brother Yi has heard something about it. Brother Yi won't say that he knows nothing about it. " Wood said.

"Yes, I know something about it." I said.

"That's right, brother Yi is very happy to speak!" Wood said.

"Boss Wu is very concerned about this. Why?" I said.

When I said this, my heart itched with hatred. The dog day got 200 million yuan, and still pretended to force here. It's not a damn thing.
