Chapter 760: Staged
Zhou Zhiyun sat in the passenger seat, and the faint fragrance blew into Xu Taiping's nose.
This smell was very familiar to Xu Taiping. It didn't smell like perfume, but like shampoo.
When he was studying, no one could afford perfume, so the faint smell of shampoo was the best memory of Xu Taiping's student days.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhiyun asked when she saw Xu Taiping was in a daze.
"No." Xu Taiping shook his head, then started the car with a smile and headed to the Riverview Hotel.
At the same time, Chu Tian also walked out of the school with a few colleagues. Today is Saturday. They all met to have dinner together. After that, they seemed to have to go to karaoke. Although Chu Tian was not very interested in his work, However, she still liked playing this kind of thing, so she readily agreed to everyone's invitation.
As soon as a group of people arrived at the eating place, Chu Tian received a call from her father, Chu Jingfeng.
"Go home right now!" Chu Jingfeng said on the other end of the phone in a voice that suppressed anger.
Hearing this voice, Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. When she did something wrong when she was a child, her father would speak in this tone.
"Dad, I'm having dinner with my colleagues!" Chu Tian said cautiously.
"What are you going to eat? I'll be right back. I'll give you half an hour!" After Chu Jingfeng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Chu Tian's heart was on edge now. She thought to herself that she hadn't done anything bad recently. Although she drank too much last night, her clothes were still normal when she went home, and she wasn't beaten. Her dad found out, why was her dad angry now? Where did this fire come from?
Although Chu Tian was very confused, she quickly got up and said goodbye to everyone before taking a taxi home.
On the other side, Xu Taiping and Zhou Zhiyun had arrived at the Riverview Hotel.
It was 5:50 in the evening. Xu Taiping had just arrived at the hotel and met Director Liu in the hotel lobby.
Director Liu seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Xu Taiping appear, Director Liu hurried over, put his arm around Xu Taiping's shoulders and said, "Taiping, I brought two bottles of old wine from home. In the evening Let’s have two more drinks!”
"It's done, Brother Liu!" Xu Taiping nodded, "I must have two more drinks with you tonight, brother!"
Director Liu seemed to like Xu Taiping calling him brother. He put his arm around Xu Taiping's shoulders and said, "Brother, the wine I have is definitely not comparable to yours. I brought this old wine from home. You I’m sure you’ll like it. Which private room do we have? Let’s go upstairs?”
"Let's wait for Section Chief Chen?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Wait for him? No, Xiao Chen is not a person with no sense of time. Let's go, let's go upstairs!" Director Liu said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, glanced at Zhou Zhiyun, and then walked up to the second floor arm in arm with Director Liu, and then entered private room 208.
It was close to six o'clock, and Xu Taiping and Director Liu were sitting at the tea table, making tea and chatting.
Director Liu actually wants to know the relationship between Xu Taiping and Chu Jingfeng most, but his relationship with Xu Taiping has not reached that level yet, so he can only endure it.
Not long after, six o'clock arrived.
"Why does this Xiao Chen have no sense of time!" Director Liu frowned and looked at his watch.
"Maybe Section Chief Chen is busy!" Xu Taiping said.
"No matter how busy he is, can he be as busy as me?" Director Liu asked.
"I'm sure you're not too busy. I guess something delayed me on the way. I'll call Section Chief Chen. Director Liu, don't say anything. We want to give him a surprise!" Xu Taiping said.
"Okay, you go ahead and fight!" Director Liu nodded.
Xu Taiping picked up his cell phone and called Chen Youwei, pressing the speaker button.
The phone rang for a long time before I picked up.
"Chief Chen, it's me, Xu Taiping!" Xu Taiping said.
"Oh, Xiao Xu, what's wrong?!" Chen Youwei asked on the other end of the phone.
"I just want to ask why you haven't come yet! I'm already here. My friends, I, and Zhiyun are all waiting for you here," Xu Taiping said.
"Oh, just wait. I'll be there in a minute!" Chen Youwei said, without waiting for Xu Taiping to speak, he hung up the phone.
"This Chen Youwei, what kind of show is this!" Director Liu said angrily.
"Haha, brother Liu, don't be angry, Section Chief Chen is busy!" Xu Taiping said.
"You're so busy, Chen Youwei, what did this happen!" Director Liu frowned. He felt that what happened tonight was quite strange. Why did Xu Taiping invite Chen Youwei to dinner? Also, why is Chen Youwei so staged?
These days, no one who is a leader can be a fool, and the same is true for Director Liu.
The three of them waited for about half an hour, and Xu Taiping called Chen Youwei again.
"Didn't I ask you to wait? Why worry? I'm accompanying the leader now. It's hard to leave. Just wait. I'll be there before seven o'clock!" Chen Youwei said and hung up the phone again.
"This Chen Youwei, I'm here, why is he accompanying the leader, this bastard!" Director Liu was so angry that his teeth were itching. He finally had the opportunity to have a good relationship with Xu Taiping, but Chen Youwei turned out to be like this, he thought He wanted to secretly send a message to Chen Youwei, but when he thought about it, it would be too humiliating, so he endured it.
Zhou Zhiyun watched all this quietly. She had roughly guessed what Xu Taiping was going to do. When Chen Youwei arrived, he would definitely have a rich expression when he saw their director here.
Time passed quickly.
Director Liu's stomach was already growling. He drank cup after cup of tea and went to the toilet countless times.
However, Director Liu didn't feel hungry at all because he was already full from Chen Youwei.
Finally, just before seven o'clock, Xu Taiping's cell phone rang.
Xu Taiping picked up the phone and Chen Youwei's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm almost there, come downstairs and meet me at the door!" Chen Youwei said.
"Okay, Chief Chen, just wait!" Xu Taiping said, hung up the phone, and then said to Director Liu, "Brother Liu, I'll pick up Chief Chen."
"I'll go with you!" Director Liu stood up suddenly and said, "I would like to see which leader Chen Youwei has accompanied to this point!"
"Isn't this bad!" Xu Taiping said hesitantly.
"What's wrong? Let's go!" Director Liu said, taking the lead and walking out of the private room.
Xu Taiping turned his head and glanced at Zhou Zhiyun, then winked at Zhou Zhiyun.
Zhou Zhiyun gave Xu Taiping a thumbs up.
Xu Taiping smiled and followed Director Liu out of the private room, then went downstairs and arrived at the hotel entrance.
There were many people coming and going in front of the hotel, but Chen Youwei was not seen.
Xu Taiping waited for about five minutes and called Chen Youwei.
"Chief Chen, why haven't I seen you yet?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Oh, that's it. I just came out from home. My home is not far from the hotel. You can wait at the door. I can tell you that I have a bad sense of direction. When I arrived at the hotel, I saw no sign at the door. Man, I'm leaving." Chen Youwei said.
"Chen Youwei, come here right now!" Director Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared into the phone.
Chen Youwei on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. He thought that the voice sounded familiar. Why did it sound like the voice of his boss?
"Who is this?" Chen Youwei asked cautiously.
"Who? You don't care who I am, I'm telling you, if I don't see you show up within five minutes, I will bear the consequences!" Director Liu roared.
"Yes, it's Director Liu?!" Chen Youwei's voice suddenly trembled.
"It's me, Brother Liu, Section Chief Chen. Brother and I have been waiting for you for more than an hour. Please hurry up!" Xu Taiping said.
"I'll be there soon!" Chen Youwei said and hung up the phone.
"Brother is still awesome!" Xu Taiping said, giving Director Liu a thumbs up.
Director Liu looked a little embarrassed. He knew that he was being used as a weapon by Xu Taiping.
About three minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of Xu Taiping, and Chen Youwei rushed out of the car.
In fact, Chen Youwei was not far away. He deliberately wanted to endure Xu Taiping and sharpen Xu Taiping's energy, so that he could better control Xu Taiping after a while, and then take advantage of Zhou Zhiyun. , but he never expected that Director Liu would be with Xu Taiping. When he heard Director Liu's voice, he was confused and quickly took a taxi and came over.
When he got out of the car, Chen Youwei saw Director Liu with a livid face.
"Bureau, Director!" Chen Youwei's voice trembled.
"Chief Chen, what a grand display!" Although Director Liu knew that he was being used as a weapon by Xu Taiping, he still had to show off his attitude at this time.
"This, this..." Chen Youwei didn't know what to say at all.
"For the six-thirty station, I arrived at 5:45. It's a good thing for you that you didn't arrive until 7:08 now. People who don't know may think that I am the section chief and you are the bureau chief!" Liu The director said coldly.
"Bureau, Director, you, you have misunderstood me. I, I am at home. Something happened at home!" Section Chief Chen quickly explained.
"Something happened at home? Didn't you just tell me to accompany the leader? Then did you have something happen at home, or did you stay with the leader?" Director Liu asked.
Section Chief Chen swallowed hard and glanced at Xu Taiping who was gloating next to him. He hated Xu Taiping to death. He didn't expect that Xu Taiping actually knew Director Liu, and it seemed that he had a close relationship with Director Liu!
You told me so early that you knew Director Liu, wouldn't I have helped you handle the matter a long time ago?
Section Chief Chen felt bitter in his heart, but now he couldn't express his bitterness.
"What's wrong? Are you speechless?" Director Liu asked coldly.
"Well, yes, it's like this. I, my mother, broke her leg this afternoon. At home, my mother is my leader, so, I have been accompanying my mother just now. I mean, Director Liu !" Chen Youwei said quickly.
Xu Taiping stared at Chen Youwei with wide eyes. This Chen Youwei is really a talent. He can even say such things!
