Chapter 749 - Xu Taiping
After brewing tea for a while, the dishes were brought up.
"This is the first time our family's Tian has cooked, as a father, I am basking in your glory!" Chu Jingfeng smiled and patted Xu Taiping's shoulder, then he pulled Xu Taiping's hand and walked into the restaurant.
The food on the table was truly beautiful, although the dishes were prepared by Chu Tian, but Xu Taiping guessed that Chu Tian was probably just doing something, and the real head chef should be Chu Tian's mother.
A few people took their seats. Since it was a family banquet, they didn't care about who the seat was. Chu Jingfeng's family of three sat at one table, and then Xu Taiping and Ouyang Jingyu sat at another table.
"Tian Tian, bring me the vase of flower carvings that dad treasured!" Chu Jingfeng and Chu Tian said.
Chu Ta nodded his head and walked into a storage room. Not long after, he took out a bottle of wine.
There were no labels on the bottles. From this, it could be seen that the flower carvings were self-brewed.
Xu Taiping had thought that he would be drinking Maotai Wuliang or something like that. He didn't expect it to be just a flower carving, and just a bottle at that.
This sort of flower carving wine had a low alcohol content and was also easy to drink. Before Xu Taiping drank this wine, he would drink 20 jin in a single jar and basically seven or eight people would be able to drink it. But Chu Jingfeng had only taken out one bottle, so he reckoned that tonight's flower carving wine would be like white spirit wine, sipping on it.
"Xu Taiping, your luck is really good. This bottle of wine was given to you by my old leader. Even at the national banquet, you wouldn't be able to drink this!" Chu Tian smiled as he spoke.
"Is that so? That's my honor!" Xu Taiping laughed.
Secretary Lin took out a bottle and poured a cup of wine for Chu Jingfeng, Ouyang Jingyu, and Xu Taiping, while Chu Tian, his mother, and Secretary Lin also poured a cup of wine for each.
"This toast to you, peace." Chu Jingfeng picked up the wine cup and everyone else also picked up their cups.
"If it weren't for you, Director Ouyang and I might not have been able to see Tian and Xiao Hao ever again. No matter what, you saved them once and for all." Chu Jingfeng said.
"This is just a small matter. "Not worth mentioning." Xu Taiping quickly said.
"To you, this is as easy as lifting a finger. To us two families, this is the kindness of saving your life. Drinking this goblet of wine!" Chu Jingfeng said and drank the wine in one gulp.
To be able to make Chu Jingfeng drink a cup of wine in one gulp was not something that anyone could do. Xu Taiping also quickly drank his wine. Everyone else, whether they were drinking or drinking, they all drank their cup in one gulp.
Secretary Lin quickly refilled the wine cup for everyone.
"The second goblet of wine still needs to be toasted to peace!" Chu Jingfeng said with a serious face, "If it wasn't for you, the three killers in this case wouldn't have been caught so quickly. I thank you on behalf of the three policemen and the citizens of Jiang Yuan City!"
"I also thank you on behalf of the three policemen who sacrificed themselves!" Compared to Chu Jingfeng, Ouyang Jingyu was even more touched. If it weren't for Xu Taiping, then this case really might not have been solved at all. And as long as this case was not solved, then the three sacrificed policemen would never be able to rest in peace. To Ouyang Jingyu, he would never be able to sleep in peace.
"Actually, I am very willing to contribute to the social stability of Jiangyuan City. After all, I am also a citizen of Jiangyuan City!" Xu Taiping said seriously.
Chu Jingfeng looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Tonight, we'll only drink and chat. Let's not talk about anything else."
"I know, I know!" Xu Pingping nodded. Then, he followed Chu Jingfeng and Ouyang Jingyu to drink the second cup of wine.
Only after two cups of wine had been drunk did the banquet begin.
Because Chu Jingfeng set the tone, no one talked about any inappropriate things.
This time, Xu Taiping didn't think much of it. Chu Jingfeng inviting him to the banquet was already a sign of meaning, so there was no need to say anything more.
Only people with insufficient levels of knowledge would keep everything in their mouths, because their levels were not high enough. They wouldn't be able to understand a lot of things just by understanding.
Chu Tian was truly grateful to Xu Taiping, because she was personally experienced, she had felt the arrival of death, and she had also seen Xu Taiping fighting for him, so Chu Tian kept on respecting Xu Taiping at the table.
Although Chu Tian knew how to drink, he was not allowed to drink at home, so he could only take a drink to toast Xu Taiping.
In Xu Taiping's eyes, he was at a disadvantage. Who would actually offer drinks to someone else?
However, considering that Chu Jingfeng was on the side, Xu Taiping could only take the loss. Who told him to be the leader?
Halfway through their meal, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Secretary Lin stood up and opened the door. No one knew what the person outside had said. She turned around and walked to Chu Jingfeng's side and said in a low voice, "Bureau Chief Liu of the Education Bureau said he has something to ask of you!"
"Let him in!" Chu Jingfeng lightly said.
Secretary Lin turned around and walked back to the door. Then, a bald middle-aged man walked in.
The moment this person entered and saw the scene in the dining room, he was stunned for a moment.
He knew about Ouyang Jingyu, he was one of Chu Jingfeng's trusted aides, Chu Tian and Chu Tian's mother, he also knew about them. Only Xu Taiping, although he found him familiar, he could not remember who he was.
Chu Jingfeng stood up and said to the others, "I'll go take care of some matters first. You guys eat!"
After saying that, Chu Jingfeng turned around and walked into the living room.
"Secretary Chu is so busy!" Xu Taiping sighed.
"Sometimes I'm busy into the middle of the night." Chu Tian said.
"Secretary Chu is the most diligent person I've ever met." Ouyang Jingyu said. He wanted to lower his voice, but he didn't lower his voice so that Chu Jingfeng in the living room could hear him.
"To be able to kiss ass to such a fresh and refined extent, without leaving a trace, amazing!" On the side, Xu Taiping could not help but sigh.
Not long after, Chief Liu left and Chu Jingfeng returned to the table.
The few of them continued to eat and drink.
The banquet ended early. It ended around 9 AM.
Xu Taiping, Chu Jingfeng, and Ouyang Jingyu made tea and chatted about Jiang Yuan's local customs for a while. When it was around 9: 30, Xu Taiping got up and said his goodbyes.
Secretary Lin personally sent Xu Taiping out of the city council compound.
"Mr. Xu, our Secretary Chu has never met anyone after 9 o'clock. You are the first person in so many years." Secretary Lin stood at the entrance of the city council's main courtyard, smiling as he spoke to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said to Secretary Lin, "Thank you for your advice!"
Secretary Lin nodded with a smile before turning to leave.
Xu Taiping stood at the entrance of the courtyard as he watched Secretary Lin leave.
A Maybach car had already stopped in front of the entrance. Zhou Xiaoyu was standing beside the car. Upon seeing Xu Taiping come out, she quickly brought a mink fur coat over him, putting it on.
"This time, our efforts were not in vain!" Xu Taiping stood by the car and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.
Zhou Xiaoyu quickly took out her lighter. After Xu Taiping put the cigarette into his mouth, he quickly lit up Xu Taiping's cigarette.
Xu Taiping tossed the box of cigarettes in his hands to Zhou Xiao Yu.
"If boss takes action, that will definitely be extraordinary!" Zhou Xiaoyu took the cigarette and then flattered Xu Taiping.
If we can't take over the prince's territory in the future, our base camp will ensure that we are safe and sound. Both of us owe me a huge favor, and unless the two of them leave, it will be absolutely impossible to enter Jiang Yuan City. Xu Taiping said proudly.
Zhou Xiao Yu looked at Xu Taiping with admiration. Who would have thought that the spy that had been placed next to Ouyang Hao just to make Ouyang Jingyu owe him a favor would be able to bring him such a great harvest? Not only had he received Ouyang Jingyu's favor, but even Chu Jingfeng's.
This is not something that can be obtained just by thinking, you still need to have great courage and ability, if it was an ordinary person, not to mention saving Chu Tian, they would have already lost their life, after all, the people who attacked the police are not ordinary people.
Xu Taiping smoked a cigarette, then left in the car.
On the other side.
In Chu Jingfeng's study in the main courtyard of the city council. "Hualala!" "Hualhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"This Xu Taiping knows his place. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. He knows his limits. How rare." Chu Jingfeng sat in his office chair and lightly said.
"Indeed. Tonight, he has not spoken a word about saving others. This is truly a manifestation of his great wisdom!" Ouyang Jingyu sighed as he sat across Chu Jingfeng.
"No matter what, we owe you this favor." Chu Jingfeng said, "Even though we are not his friends, when the spring water returns to us, if Xu Taiping really does die, you can just pull him away."
"I know." Ouyang Jingyu nodded.
The night gradually turned darker.
Xu Taiping left the city council compound and returned home.
Xia Jinxuan and the rest had already returned home, and the three women were sitting on the floor, playing with the latest game console.
"I heard that you're going to the country of Mi with our school's exchange next month?" Xia Jinxuan looked at the TV screen in front of her and asked without looking back.
"Yeah, go for a week and you'll be back soon!" Xu Taiping said.
"Then would you miss us?" Xia Jinxuan asked.
Xu Taiping stared blankly for a moment, but then he laughed, "I'll miss you guys. I really miss you guys!"
"I heard that there are a lot of beauties in Bakern University. This school is considered a noble university in the Mi Kingdom. The beauties in there, be it their temperament or their dressing, are all very good!" Song Jia giggled.
"Really?!" Xu Taiping's eyes lit up. To be honest, a Yang Horse was pretty good. Although Emma was a hybrid, she was still a bit different from a pure Yang Horse.
"That's right, so you have to control yourself if you want to go. You can't just randomly sow seeds abroad. Don't let a bunch of mixed-blood babies like Emma come to our doorstep in a few years!" Xia Jinxuan said.
"Definitely!" Xu Taiping felt like his plan had been seen through, so he nodded and made an excuse to go upstairs.
"Hmph, if he were to know our plan, he would definitely be shocked!" Xia Jinxuan said proudly.
"Don't panic, don't let him know in advance!" Song Jia said.
"Of course I know, Emma. Don't you dare expose yourself!" Xia Jinxuan said.
"I won't!" Emma nodded seriously.
The few women looked at each other in excitement, as if there was a hidden conspiracy surrounding them. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
