Chapter 1049 Reunion

Hearing Xia Ruofei's voice, Wu Liqian's grievance instantly turned into a surprise, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "It's Ruofei! How long have you said you haven't called your sister?"

"Isn't this afraid that you are busy and don't have time to pay attention to me?" Xia Ruofei teased, and then asked with concern: "Sister Qian, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Wu Liqian said lightly: "It's alright! I'm a little impatient with work! Don't talk about this, do you have something to do with me?"

"I want to consult you about something." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I can't say a word or two on the phone. Let me invite you to dinner! Are you free?"

Wu Liqian smiled bitterly and said, "I can use it at any time, you just need to say the time and place."

With the extent of her being marginalized now, no one would notice even if she didn't come to work for two days.

This is quite abnormal for a member of the Standing Committee, the second-in-command of the government.

Of course, from Wu Liqian's words, Xia Ruofei couldn't possibly notice anything, not to mention that the two were still on the phone and could not see each other's expressions.

So, Xia Ruofei didn't think too much, and said directly: "Then at six o'clock tonight, how about Lingji's private kitchen?"

"No problem!" Wu Liqian said, "I've heard that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very authentic, but it's a pity that the working class can't afford it! And it's too difficult to make an appointment..."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then I'll say hello to them today. In the future, if Sister Qian wants to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, she doesn't need to make an appointment!"

"You have a lot of face!" Wu Liqian said with a chuckle.

"Hey, that store is the property of my girlfriend's family..." Xia Ruofei said.

Wu Liqian was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that Xia Ruofei's girlfriend Ling Qingxue was the little princess of Lingji Catering, and isn't Lingji Private Kitchen an industry under Lingji Catering?

There was a touch of disappointment in her heart, but she quickly said with a smile: "So that's the case! Then I won't be polite to you!"

"You must be welcome!" Xia Ruofei said, "See you at six o'clock in the evening!"

"See you soon!"

After Wu Liqian hung up the phone,

Xia Ruofei's sunny and clean face appeared in his mind involuntarily, and the corner of his mouth unknowingly evoked a beautiful arc, and the haze of these days seems to have been dispelled a lot...

Sanshan, which has just entered the night, is dimly lit.

The business of Lingji's private kitchen is as hot as usual, but in the quiet backyard, it still seems very quiet.

Xia Ruofei sat at the tea table and made a pot of Dahongpao himself. Among the curling sandalwood, the unique tea fragrance of Taoyuan Dahongpao lingers in the box, which is refreshing.

The box door was knocked gently, and then the waiter opened the door.

Xia Ruofei looked up and saw Wu Liqian, who had not been seen for a long time, stepping in.

Wu Liqian seems to have lost some points. Even if she puts on light makeup before going out, she still can't hide her haggard look.

"Sister Qian is here!" Xia Ruofei stood up and greeted him, "Come over and have a cup of tea!"

Then, Xia Ruofei said to the waiter, "Tell the kitchen to serve cold dishes first, and then jump over the wall in ten minutes!"

"Okay President Xia!" The waiter said with a slight bow, then exited the box and closed the door.

Wu Liqian looked at Xia Ruofei and said with a smile, "You look good! It seems that your life is very nourishing!"

Xia Ruofei gently opened the chair for Wu Liqian, and when she sat down, she pushed it in slightly, then walked around the tea table to the opposite of Wu Liqian, poured a cup of tea skillfully, and placed it in front of Wu Liqian .

Xia Ruofei said: "Sister Qian, your complexion doesn't seem very good. Are you too tired from work? You are the leader, so don't put so much pressure on yourself! Your body will not be able to bear it..."

Wu Liqian's heart warmed, the confusion, helplessness and even anger these days, a series of negative emotions, were all left behind by her at this moment. Although she hadn't seen Xia Ruofei for a while, she did not feel the slightest alienation. Instead, the mood has become much calmer.

"I'm fine, but I haven't slept well recently..." Wu Liqian said lightly.

"Don't be neurasthenia!" Xia Ruofei said, "Let's do it! I'll give you a pulse in a while and give you a prescription to take care of it. Sister Qian, you must know how to take care of your own body! The body is the capital of the revolution. Don't I need to teach you?"

"I see!" Wu Liqian said softly, and then she smiled again, "Shen Doctor Xia gave me the recipe in person, I have a lot of face today! Tell me! Do you have anything to ask me for help?"

Xia Ruofei sneered: "Look at what you said, Sister Qian, am I the kind of person who uses people to face the front and not the back? No matter if there is anything to ask you for help, you are my most beloved sister Qian!"

Wu Liqian couldn't help giggling, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and your mouth has become a lot sweeter! It seems that your little girlfriend has trained you well!"

After Wu Liqian finished speaking, she picked up the tea cup and drank it, and said with admiration, "Good tea!"

There are almost no people in Southeast Province who don't drink tea. As a leading cadre, Wu Liqian is naturally not short of good tea, but she still has a feeling of surprise when she drinks it today.

I don't know if it's the reason for the mentality or the reason for the tea itself, maybe both!

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "If Sister Qian likes it, take a little with you when you leave. This is the tea produced by our farm, and it sells well on the Internet."

"You still grow tea on your farm?" Wu Liqian was a little surprised, "There shouldn't be enough space! Besides, isn't that back mountain of yours a fruit orchard?"

Xia Ruofei added tea to Wu Liqian with a smile, and then said: "When you see Sister Qian, you don't care enough about me! My farm is under your control! As our parents, bureaucracy is not worth it!"

Wu Liqian said with a bit of coquettish anger: "Stop talking! Why don't you tell me what's going on with this tea?"

Xia Ruofei leaned back on the chair lazily and said, "It's very simple! We cooperate with others, they provide tea greens, we process them, and are responsible for sales. We have high quality requirements for tea greens, and we also make tea. It also uses traditional techniques, and every process completely abandons modern equipment, so the output is not too high.”

"But the price isn't too low!" Wu Liqian said with a smile, "It seems that I really need to know more about it when I go back..."

Xia Ruofei sneered and said: "What is rare is more expensive! Besides, the philosophy of our Taoyuan company has always been to win with quality, not to pursue sales."

After a few chats, the waiter started serving the dishes.

When Xia Ruofei saw the cold dishes on the table, he smiled and said, "Sister Qian, let's chat while eating! Buddha Jumps over the Wall will be up soon."

Wu Liqian said with a smile: "Thank you, otherwise, I really can't afford to rely on my own salary!"

"Sister Qian, if you want to eat Buddha jumping over the wall, I don't know how many people are waiting in line to invite you! Isn't it just a sentence?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I can invite you, it's my little brother's honor. !"

Xia Ruofei did not notice a trace of sadness in Wu Liqian's eyes, and warmly invited Wu Liqian to move to the dining table.

Because there are only two people to eat today, Xia Ruofei instructed Ling Ji's private kitchen in advance to remove the original round table and replace it with a Chinese-style Baxian table.

The two sat opposite each other. Today, all the dishes are divided into separate meals, one for each person, so there is no need for a turntable. This Eight Immortals Table is just right, otherwise, there will be a sense of distance between two people sitting on a large round table.

"Drink some wine?" Xia Ruofei asked.

"Okay! By the way, I have already asked the driver to go back." Wu Liqian said, "Send me home after dinner!"

When Wu Liqian was working as a secretary for Tian Huilan, she had already bought a small apartment in Sanshan urban area. At that time, she paid a down payment only after the family supported some of the money.

After she went to work in Changping County, as long as she was not too busy, she would return to the urban area to rest on weekends.

Although tomorrow is not a weekend, Wu Liqian felt very stuffy in Changping County these few days, so when she came out today, she didn't plan to go back to Changping at night. After arriving at Lingji's private kitchen, she directly asked the driver to return.

"No problem!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I brought the driver, then I'll accompany you for two drinks!"

What Xia Ruofei prepared was still freshly baked noble rot wine.

This kind of wine has a relatively high sweetness and is very easy to drink. It is the most suitable for ladies to drink.

He poured wine for Wu Liqian himself. Wu Liqian's eyes were also attracted by the thick golden wine, and she couldn't help but say, "This wine sells so well! I've never seen it before!"

"This is produced by my winery in Australia, and it has not been sold to the outside world!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You will give an evaluation after you taste it! If you like it, I will give you two bottles. This wine is more suitable for women to drink. of."

Wu Liqian sighed: "Ruofei, your current industry is really getting bigger and bigger. I still remember the scene when you rented land to build a farm! How long has it been since? You already have such a big industry in Australia. …”

"Everyone is making progress!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Has Sister Qian also changed from a secretary to a leading cadre?"

Hearing this, Wu Liqian sighed softly involuntarily.

In fact, maybe her rank has been raised one level in terms of her position, but in terms of influence, the executive deputy magistrate of Changping County is not as valuable as the secretary of the top three mountains.

Of course, it is impossible for those who are in politics to work beside the leaders all the time. It is the only way for every leading cadre to grow up by delegating their experience to enrich their work experience at an appropriate time.

Wu Liqian does not regret seeking decentralization at the beginning, nor does she regret choosing Changping County. If it weren't for these recent bad things, her work in Changping County would still be impressive, and with her gender advantage, her political prospects are still very bright.

Xia Ruofei clearly felt the change in Wu Liqian's mood.

In fact, since the call in the morning, Xia Ruofei felt that something was wrong with Wu Liqian. After the meeting just now, Wu Liqian's unconcealed haggard also confirmed this.

What Wu Liqian didn't want to say, Xia Ruofei was not very good to continue to ask questions, but he saw that Wu Liqian seemed to have encountered a lot of difficulties, so after a little pondering, he still asked: "Sister Qian, have you encountered any difficulties at work? What happened? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help?"
