Chapter 1620: Keep up the Scene
1620
Jiangyuan City.
It was almost the end of school in the afternoon. Xu Taiping took off his security uniform and put on his own clothes.
Just as he was about to leave the office, Xu Taiping received a call.
"Old Qin, call me at this time. Have you taken the bait?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"Well, Li Jiangshan's secretary called me and he planned to borrow money from me." Qin Guan said on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, how much money do you plan to borrow? I'll ask the company to call you later. Remember to ask him to take part of the Li Group's shares as collateral, not more, just ten to twenty percent. In addition, , the repayment time must be limited, the shorter the better.” Xu Taiping said.
"Okay, I've been doing lending for so many years, and I know a lot more than you." Qin Guan said with a smile.
"Haha, let's have a good drink later, and I want to thank you." Xu Taiping said.
"This is what you said, see you later!"
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Taiping walked out of the security room happily.
After waiting for a short while, Zhao Bigan came to Xu Taiping.
"My father-in-law, shall we take a taxi together?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile and his arms around Zhao Bigan's shoulders.
"Why do I feel the urge to beat you to death when I hear you call me father-in-law?" Zhao Bigan said angrily.
"Don't be like this. I call you father-in-law. Doesn't this represent a kind of responsibility? It proves that I will not be irresponsible to Xiaohua. You should be happy!" Xu Taiping said.
"Old Zhao, I can't be happy anyway." Zhao Bigan shook his head.
"Okay, okay, stop keeping such a straight face. We are going to support Chen Wen today, so be more smiling!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Zhao Bigan twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, and then the two of them took a taxi to the hotel where Chen Wen had booked.
This time, in order to entertain his future father-in-law, Chen Wen specially booked the Crown Hotel, one of the best in Jiangyuan City. There is nothing worth mentioning about this hotel. In one word, it is expensive.
It is said that the owner of this hotel is not from Jiangyuan City, but a coal boss from a certain province. This coal boss has built many Crown Hotels in the Yangtze River Basin, threatening to build a domestic Hilton. However, the Crown Hotel is in After building three houses, it was stopped. The reason was simple: it was too extravagant.
These three Crown Hotels, one in Xiahai City, one in Jiangyuan City, and one in Danjin City, are five-star in terms of star rating, but in recent years they have been applying for super five-star status, but they are still Didn't apply.
It can be seen from this that the consumption of this hotel is definitely not something that ordinary people can support. Besides being expensive, the hotel has no other special features in Xu Taiping's opinion. Therefore, Xu Taiping rarely treats guests to dinner. Coming here, but for ordinary citizens, the Crown Hotel means face, so the business of this hotel is still quite good.
Chen Wen, dressed in a designer suit, was waiting at the hotel's entrance.
A taxi stopped in front of Chen Wen.
Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan walked out of the car together.
For this engagement party, my colleague Chen Wen invited Xu Taiping and Zhao Bigan. After all, these two people are well-known and have very good personal relationships with Chen Wen.
"Director Xu, you're finally here!" When Chen Wen saw Xu Taiping, he greeted him with a smile, held Xu Taiping's hand and said, "It's just you two."
"Everyone is here? Are your parents here too?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes, they are all here. On my side, there are just my parents, you, and Lao Zhao. On my wife's side, there are his parents, his brother, and his sister-in-law. There are ten people in total, which is just one table." Chen Wen said.
"Where did you take them to play at noon?" Xu Taiping asked as he walked into the hotel.
"They didn't go anywhere to play, and they didn't want to go out to play. They said they were a little tired, so they went back to the hotel to rest after leaving the airport at noon," Chen Wen said.
"What room are you opening?" Xu Taiping asked.
"They are all deluxe double rooms, is that okay?" Chen Wen asked.
"It's very good. A luxurious king-bed room in the Crown Hotel costs one thousand and fifty a day, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, about a thousand and a half." Chen Wen nodded.
"Then you're bleeding this time, haha!" Xu Taiping laughed.
"This is what it should be!" Chen Wen scratched his head and said, "Why don't you spend more money to get a wife?"
"Chen Wen, the most important thing for this man is to be single-minded. If the girl decides to marry you, you have to be kind to her and be dedicated to her!" Zhao Bigan said.
"That's for sure." Chen Wen nodded.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, why do I feel that you are not talking to Chen Wen, but to me?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
"I told Chen Wen, not you. I can't blame you. You are my leader." Zhao Bigan said.
"Haha, you are so arrogant. It would be quite interesting to have a father-in-law like you in the family!" Xu Taiping patted Zhao Bigan on the shoulder.
Zhao Bigan glared at Xu Taiping but didn't say anything else.
The three of them walked into the hotel and took the elevator next to them to the fifth floor. After that, the three of them walked into a box on the fifth floor together.
There was a circle of people sitting in the box.
Xu Taiping glanced at the people present, and then whispered a test.
Several numbers appeared on the heads of many people present.
These numbers are all under one hundred, and it seems that none of them are warriors.
"Director Xu!" Chen Wen's parents stood up quickly when they saw Xu Taiping coming in. They had heard too many legends about Xu Taiping from Chen Wen.
"Uncle and aunt!" Xu Taiping greeted Chen Wen's parents with a smile, and then looked at the people sitting in the main seat. One of them was a middle-aged man who was a little fat and looked a bit like Chen Wen's wife. He should be Chen Wen's future father-in-law, and sitting next to the middle-aged man is a middle-aged woman, who should be Chen Wen's future mother-in-law.
Next to this man and woman, there was a man and woman sitting. They were not very old, about thirty years old, and looked similar to Xu Taiping. The man was dressed politely, and the woman was dressed quite fashionably.
"Director Xu, let me introduce to you, this is my father-in-law, the deputy county magistrate of x county!" Chen Wen pointed at the middle-aged man on the main seat and said.
"Hello, County Magistrate Lin!" Xu Taiping took the initiative to walk towards Chen Wen's father-in-law with a smile. When he came, Xu Taiping already knew that Chen Wen's father-in-law's name was Lin Tai, so he called County Magistrate Lin. Can't be wrong.
"Oh, hello." Lin Tai was sitting in his seat. When he saw Xu Taiping walking over, he didn't stand up. He just stretched out his hand and touched Xu Taiping's hand. Then he looked at Chen Wen and said, "Xiao Chen Ah, my daughter is not engaged to you yet, my father-in-law, please don’t rush to shout."
"Yes, yes, uncle." Chen Wen quickly changed his words.
"Now that the last guests are all here, let's take a seat. As for us, we are not in a hurry to eat. Let's talk about the matter first." Lin Tai said calmly.
"Tell me what happened?" Xu Taiping glanced at Chen Wen in surprise and found that Chen Wen also looked a little confused.
"Sit down first, Director Xu." Chen Wen said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked to the bottom position. Just as he was about to sit down, Chen Wen quickly ran over, pulled Xu Taiping and said, "Director Xu, you sit in my seat. Here I am." sit."
"Why are we talking so politely between us? Go and sit down!" Xu Taiping said.
"No, no, no, Director Xu, you are my leader, you definitely can't sit here!" Chen Wen insisted.
"Xiao Chen, sit down quickly. There are so many leaders at this table." Lin Tai said with a frown.
"That's right, the leaders at this table are uncles, aunts, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Who are we leaders? Hurry up and sit down!" Xu Taiping pushed Chen Wen away with a smile and sat down.
Chen Wen saw that Xu Taiping had already sat down, so he didn't say anything more, walked back to his seat and sat down.
"Okay, since everyone is seated, let me just say a few words." Lin Tai said, looking around at everyone present, as if they were holding a meeting for someone.
Chen Wen's parents were obviously very nervous when they heard Lin Tai's words. Both of them were farmers with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess. Lin Tai's identity was like heaven to them. They had never seen each other in their lives. The biggest official here is just the mayor of the town. The deputy county magistrate is just like the panda. I have only seen it on TV and never seen it in reality.
"First of all, let's talk about my daughters, Lin Nanxi and Chen Wen." Lin Tai said lightly, "My daughter, Lin Nanxi, graduated from a well-known university. She has been reading poetry and books since she was a child. She has been reading poetry for more than 20 years. , she has always been a good daughter and a good student. Moreover, she was admitted as a civil servant in Jiangyuan City last year and is currently working in the Municipal Health Bureau. Regardless of her character, knowledge, or future development, she is She is very powerful, and there are many people pursuing my daughter, including some young talents, such as the grandson of a retired old leader in our county, and the son of a large tax-paying family in our local area."
"Dad, why are you talking about this?!" Chen Wen's girlfriend Lin Nanxi said with some embarrassment.
"Don't talk. I don't like people interrupting me when I'm talking!" Lin Tai frowned.
Lin Nanxi could only keep her mouth shut.
"Chen Wen, you should have seen that my daughter's conditions are very good, and I have always adopted democratic education at home, so no matter who my daughter chooses to be her husband, I will not object, because it is her She must bear her own choices and future consequences. However, to be honest, my daughter looking for you is like a flower stuck in cow dung according to an old Chinese saying. Lin Tai said.
Lin Tai's words made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become a little solemn.
"But since my daughter has decided to be you, I won't say anything else. This time I heard that you are getting engaged, so I brought our family here specially. I don't object to your engagement, but before the engagement, you must Make the following points clear..." Lin Tai continued.
