Chapter 841 Hope Father Jackie Chan
Lin Jiaqiang told Lin Xi on the phone that he was staying at the Crescent Star Hotel. He had arranged dinner and asked Lin Xi to come with Wang Yueqin and Zhao Yi. Lin Jiaqiang hesitated for a moment and said, if possible, let Lin Xi call Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi and ask them to come together.
After hearing this, Lin Xi complained, "Dad, if you want to invite Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu, tell me earlier. At this time, their dinner may have been arranged for a long time. I'm afraid what they say now is not very good!"
Lin Jiaqiang heard his son's complaint and knew that he did not do well, but he could not blame him. Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi's identities were there. Liu Jiaqiang had been hesitating whether to invite each other. It was not until he called Lin Xi that he made up his mind.
"Lin Xi, I just said casually. If you feel embarrassed, forget it. Anyway, I have been studying here for three days. Let's find another day!" Lin Jiaqiang said on the other end of the phone.
Lin Xi heard through his father's words that he was determined to invite Zhao Yi's parents to dinner. In this case, he simply called to ask.
After Liu Ruoxi received Lin Xi's phone call, she even agreed and took the initiative to help Zhao Qingming agree.
The reason why Liu Ruoxi is so cheerful has treated Lin Xi as a fast son-in-law in her heart. In this case, Lin Jiaqiang and Wang Yueqin are their in-laws, and they still need to give face for a meal.
Lin Jiaqiang was very happy to learn that Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi would go there. He asked Lin Xi to come early on the phone to help him prepare.
Lin Xi saw from his father's performance that he may have asked Zhao Qingming or Liu Ruoxi for something. As for what happened, Lin Xi didn't know. He decided to go there early to find out the situation.
Lin Xi picked up the phone and told Zhao Yi the address and asked her to take her mother there later. He had something to do and went first.
After listening to this, Zhao Yi readily agreed that she would not let go of the good opportunity to get close to her future mother-in-law. Hao Xinyan does not have this advantage, and Zhao Yi will naturally hold it firmly in her hand.
When Lin Xi arrived at the Crescent Star Hotel, he was relieved to see his father checking the layout of the dining table with a happy face. On the phone, Lin Xi always felt that his father was a little hesitant, for fear that something would happen to him. After seeing his performance, he knew that it was not the case, so he was relieved.
After Lin Jiaqiang saw his son arrive, he was very happy and quickly sat down on the sofa and chatted.
Through chatting, Lin Xi found that his father had done a good job in Xucheng during this period. The main investment promotion work was brilliant and felt a little like a fish in water. It can be seen from the confident smile on his face.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xi also had doubts in his heart. It is said that his father should not hesitate to invite Zhao Yi's parents to dinner at this time. What's going on?
After having this idea, Lin Xi consciously tested his father.
After listening to his son's words, Lin Jiaqiang said embarrassedly, "Son, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you. Today, I actually want to invite Aunt Liu to dinner. Their Tiantong Company wants to increase their investment in Xucheng, but the city has talked with them several times in a row, so I want to take this opportunity to talk to your aunt. But I think it's a little inappropriate to say this on such an occasion, and she is a lesbian, so I'm a little embarrassed.
Lin Xi didn't understand until he heard this that his father was looking for Zhao Yi's mother, but due to the identity and gender of the other party, he was a little embarrassed. Lin Xi didn't expect that his father would still take people by gender, which is a little inappropriate. You know, there are many cases where women are better than men these days.
"Dad, I don't think it's a big deal. If you open your mouth, aunt will definitely give you this face." Lin Xi encouraged.
Lin Jiaqiang is very clear that there is no problem with what Lin Xi said. If he opens his mouth tonight, Liu Ruoxi will definitely give him this face. The key is that he can't open his mouth.
"Lin...Lin Xi, do you think this is okay? Please help me tell your Aunt Liu. After all, she is yours. What you want to say, she must give more face." Lin Jiaqiang stammered.
"Dad, are you wrong? This is a matter of your work. Why do you want me to help you say it? It's not negotiable. If you want to say it, just say it yourself. If you don't say it, I won't get mixed up." Lin Xi refused his father.
Lin Xi did this to help his father reverse some conservative ideas. In the long run, these things are bound to affect his future.
The most common sentence Chinese people say to their children is to hope that their son will become a dragon and their daughter will become a phoenix, but Lin Xi will hope that their father will become a dragon, which is a very pleasant thing.
Lin Jiaqiang listened to his son's words and couldn't say anything more, so he had to say annoidly, "Well, since you don't want to say it, let me say it. I believe you will still give me this face."
"That's for sure, Dad, don't think Aunt Liu is a lesbian, just something in your heart. In her current position, not to mention lesbians, even male comrades can do better than her, and they can't find many of them. Lin Xi looked at his father and said with a straight face.
Lin Xi's words are not to praise Liu Ruoxi. Under her leadership, Tiantong Company has indeed done a good job, and it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Jiaqiang nodded subconsciously.
Although Lin Xi's appointment was very late, Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi still came on time. When they entered the private room, even Zhao Yi and Wang Yueqin had not come yet!
This is the first dinner attended by all the family members of Zhao and Lin. Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi attach great importance to it, and it is impossible to be late.
Lin Jiaqiang is very polite to Zhao and Liu. Zhao Qingming once had the kindness to help him, but now he has something to ask Liu Ruoxi for help.
Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi's enthusiasm for Lin Jiaqiang is very uncomfortable, but because Lin Xi is present, they don't feel embarrassed.
Zhao Yi and Wang Yueqin opened the door with a smile. When they saw their father and mother sitting here, they felt panicked and involuntarily nervous. This is not the legendary in-laws, isn't it? Zhao Yi thought confusedly.
Wang Yueqin was also stunned when she saw this situation. Before that, they did not know that Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi were coming. After this period of training in Dongsheng, Wang Yueqin was much more experienced. After a moment of stunned, she soon recovered and talked about her parents' affairs with Liu Ruoxi.
Lin Jiaqiang saw that everyone had arrived and invited him to his seat. On the question of who sat in the main seat, Lin Jiaqiang and Zhao Qingming gave up very modestly. In the end, Zhao Qingming sat in the main position, accompanied by Lin Jiaqiang, and Lin Xi and Zhao Yi sat in the last seat.
Lin Jiaqiang picked up the wine glass and said to Zhao Qingming and Liu Ruoxi, "Mayor Zhao, Mr. Liu, it's rare to have a chance to get together. I'll do it first!"
After hearing this, Zhao Qingming quickly reached out his hand to stop him and said, "Jiang, it's a sight to say so. We are of the same age, so let's be brothers. Today, there is no mayor or boss at this table, only friendship. We are old acquaintances. Come on, cheers!"
When Lin Xi saw the scene in front of him, he subconsciously compared his father and Zhao Qingming. He had to say that there was a very little gap between his father and the other party, but this was also normal. The experience of the two was different, and there was not much comparableity.
As soon as Zhao Qingming's words fell, Lin Xi immediately picked up his glass and stood up and said respectfully, "Dad, Uncle Zhao, I respect you with a cup. I wish you good luck and make further progress!"
As soon as Lin Xi's words fell, Zhao Qingming made a bright laugh. He knew very well that this boy was helping his father relieve the siege!
Just as the three men showed the bottom of the cup, the three women were unwilling to show weakness and drank all the drinks in the cup. Lin Xi and Zhao Yilian stood up to help the parents of both sides pour wine and drinks, and the scene of good clothes were happy.
After two glasses of wine, Lin Jiaqiang's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his words were not as restrained as before. He glanced at Liu Ruoxi diagonally opposite. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the glass and said, "Mr. Liu, according to what Mayor Zhao just said, I should call you sister-in-law, but this time I must call you Mr. Liu. If there is something, please help me."
Liu Ruoxi is a serious lady, and now she is at the helm of Tiantong Company. She has met all kinds of people. When she heard Lin Jiaqiang's words, she quickly counted the drinks in front of her and said with a smile, "Mayor Lin, I can't afford what you said. Just say anything. Among other things, just looking at the two children, we shouldn't be so out of the street, don't you think?
After hearing her mother's words, Zhao Yi lowered her head shyly. In order to hide her sense of embarrassment, Lin Xi quickly picked up the glass to toast Zhao Qingming.
