Chapter 401 Invitation
The atmosphere of dinner is as relaxed as noon, and Zhao Dongsheng can always find topics to make Bai Xin and Liu Xinyi laugh.
"I know, I will go." Just as the meal was about to finish, Liu Xinyi answered a call, and the expression on her face suddenly became dim. She said helplessly, and then hung up the phone.
"Xinyi, what's going on?" Bai Xin couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw this.
"A deputy mayor in our city is going to the ministries and commissions of the stable to conduct projects. He invites a deputy director to have dinner. He wants me to accompany him to drink, saying that I have been in the stable for so many years, and I am knowledgeable and able to talk." Liu Xinyi hesitated for a moment and said self-deprecatingly.
"How can this be done? You are not those sociable people, why should you drink with that man with a mercy?" Bai Xin's face suddenly turned cold when she heard this, and her eyebrows were raised.
"My father's factory is about to go bankrupt. If he cannot get support from the city, hundreds of people will be laid off. He is the factory director and must consider the future of the employees." Liu Xinyi smiled slightly and explained to Bai Xin, but her smile was full of bitterness.
"Then... you can't let you go and drink with me. If something happens, it will be bad." Bai Xin didn't expect Liu Xinyi to have such difficulties. After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's do this, I'll go with you, so I can take care of you."
"You'd better not go. You're so beautiful, they didn't have any bad intentions. Once you go, you might have drawn out their bad intentions." Liu Xinyi felt a sense of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She smiled and reached out to scrape Bai Xin's nose. She couldn't take Bai Xin to take risks.
"Hate, I'm telling you serious things, but you're joking." Bai Xin couldn't help but blush on her face when she saw Liu Xinyi praising her beauty, and she said coquettishly, looking a little embarrassed.
"I've already thought about it. When the time comes, you call me and I will say there is something urgent to get out of here." Liu Xinyi smiled slightly and said in an orderly manner.
"If they don't let anyone go, that's bad." Bai Xin thought for a while, shook her head at Liu Xinyi, feeling that this method was inappropriate, and then her eyes fell on Zhao Dongsheng and said with a smile, "Uncle, give you an opportunity to develop a gentlemanly style, and be responsible for bringing Xinyi back safely at that time."
"No problem." Zhao Dongsheng smiled and snapped his fingers. Since Liu Xinyi was Bai Xin's friend, he was willing to help Liu Xinyi with this little favor.
"Please trouble you." Liu Xinyi smiled and thanked Zhao Dongsheng. Although she didn't want to bother Zhao Dongsheng, it seems that this is a good idea now.
"It's just a matter of raising your hand." Zhao Dongsheng smiled discontently, not taking this little thing to heart at all.
"Cheers to Xinyi for the time being that she can get out of here!" Bai Xin smiled and raised the wine glass in her hand.
"Cheers!" Zhao Dongsheng and Liu Xinyi smiled and clinked with Bai Xin's wine glasses, making a crisp sound.
Bai Xin and Liu Xinyi stayed in Zhao Dongsheng's apartment until after nine o'clock in the evening. She was going to go back to the girls' dormitory of the National Conservatory of Music with Liu Xinyi today to sleep. There were a lot of whispers between the two.
Since the apartment is not far from the school and Zhao Dongsheng drank some wine, he and Bai Xinyi walked back to the girls' dormitory, and the three of them chatted and laughed along the way.
"Uncle, we will go to the live rehearsal tomorrow. My program is past 11 o'clock in the evening. Remember to pick me up when I get there." Before entering the girls' dormitory building, Bai Xin said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile.
"Okay." Zhao Dongsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what Bai Xin was doing with him so late. Then he agreed with a smile. Anyway, he would know by then.
"Xinxin, what are you going to ask him for tomorrow night?" Liu Xinyi also felt a little strange, so after returning to the dormitory, she asked Bai Xin curiously.
"Tomorrow is his 32nd birthday. I'm going to celebrate his birthday. I want to give him a surprise." Bai Xin smiled sweetly, and a cunning light flashed across her eyes. This is one of the reasons why she wanted to confirm whether Zhao Dongsheng was in the stable.
Liu Xinyi suddenly realized and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Generally speaking, when a girl takes the initiative to celebrate a man's birthday, that man must have a very important position in the girl's heart, and she smells a romantic atmosphere.
Zhao Dongsheng's birthday is October of the lunar calendar. Coincidentally, his birthday with Zhao Weiguo was the same day. December 20th this year will be his 32nd birthday.
Since he came to Huangzhou, Zhao Dongsheng has never celebrated his birthday. It’s not that he doesn’t want to celebrate it, but that he is too busy with work and has no time at all. Over time, he forgot about this matter.
Although Zhao Dongsheng forgot his birthday, Bai Xin always remembered that she could not celebrate Zhao Dongsheng's birthday in the past, but now she has this condition.
Zhao Dongsheng would never have thought that Bai Xin would celebrate his birthday, because he came to the stable to accompany Bai Xin, so his work was very flexible. Since Bai Xin had to rehearse tomorrow, he could only meet her after 11 o'clock in the evening. He had a lot of time to handle the affairs of the stable tomorrow.
The next day, Zhao Dongsheng led Han Susu to the National Economic and Trade Commission. The National Economic and Trade Commission is a newly established department of the State Council in the second half of this year. In order to comprehensively develop the national economy, nine departments including the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Electronics Industry have merged, and have great power.
Zhao Dongsheng went to the National Economic and Trade Commission this time for the investment of Warwick Group next year. Some investments require approval from the National Economic and Trade Commission, so he came in advance to say hello and worship the wharf.
Shen Yinian, director of the National Economic and Trade Commission, was transferred from the position of Director of the General Office of the State Council. Zhao Dongsheng had dealt with him before. Because Zhao Dongsheng made an appointment in advance, he arrived and waited in the suite outside Shen Yinian's office for a short time and was led in by Shen Yinian's secretary.
Zhao Dongsheng had an exchange with Shen Yinian for more than an hour, and then left Shen Yinian's office. The two chatted very well. Zhao Dongsheng learned a lot of future policy trends of the National Economic and Trade Commission from him.
After leaving Shen Yinian's office, Zhao Dongsheng visited several deputy directors of the National Economic and Trade Commission in turn. Since these deputy directors were appointed from the merged deputy ministers of the merged ministries and commissions, they were all old acquaintances of Zhao Dongsheng, and both sides had cooperated a lot before.
At noon, Zhao Dongsheng invited Xu Jun, the general manager of the former Mining Corporation, to have dinner. In the past few years, the two sides have cooperated very happily, exporting and importing large amounts of ore, and both sides have made great profits from it.
Today, the Mining Corporation is also a wealthy unit in the stable, and its welfare benefits rank among the top among the units in the stable, and has successively established many industries, such as hotels, shopping malls, etc.
The place where Zhao Dongsheng and Xu Jun had dinner was a restaurant built by the Mining Corporation at the end of last year. Because it was located in a prosperous area, business was booming. This was Xu Jun's territory, so naturally Xu Jun treated him to him, accompanied by Meng Qing, the former deputy general manager of the Mining Corporation.
Like the Ministry of Machinery Industry, with the rapid development of social economy, in order to look at the overall situation and better serve the national economy, the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Engineering and several other ministries merged into the Ministry of Resources in the second half of this year.
The reason why Xu Jun was the former general manager of the Mining Corporation was because due to the excellent achievements of the Mining Corporation, he served as the deputy director of the Ministry of Resources after the establishment of the Ministry of Resources.
Meng Qing took over Xu Jun's position and became the new general manager of the Mining Corporation. Both of them were promoted in this merger of ministries and commissions.
After having dinner with Xu Jun and Meng Qing, Zhao Dongsheng had a short rest at noon and visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the afternoon. The Warwick family group established good relations with the local embassy in its foreign offices.
In the evening, Zhao Dongsheng invited several friends from the stable to gather together. He was very busy at the end of the day, and this situation lasted for several days. He had some other departments and friends who needed to visit him.
The cross-century concert was held at the People's Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people. Zhao Dongsheng arrived at 10:30 in the evening. Due to the concert rehearsal, martial law has been imposed around the People's Stadium, and many police and armed police gathered there.
Zhao Dongsheng had no choice but to park his car near the side of the road and wait for Bai Xin. He believed that Bai Xin would call him after the performance.
Sure enough, at half past eleven, Zhao Dongsheng's cell phone rang, Bai Xin called and asked him where he was. He told Bai Xin about his position, and Bai Xin asked him to wait there.
Not long after, a white minibus drove over. Bai Xin got out of the car, carrying a square box wrapped in red cloth, wearing a military coat, and a white skirt. Due to the tight time, she took the bus out before she could take off her makeup after playing.
Bai Xin smiled and waved goodbye to several girls in the car. The girls in the car were the accompaniment of Bai Xin's performance this time, all of whom were students of the National Conservatory of Music, including Liu Xinyi.
The girls looked at Zhao Dongsheng with interest, laughed and left with the car, secretly guessing the identity of the tall and handsome man. Because the rehearsal time was too late, they had booked a hotel and would stay in the hotel for one night.
"It's cold outside, come in quickly." Zhao Dongsheng saw this and quickly got out of the car and pulled open the door of the co-pilot, which contained heating.
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Bai Xin got into the car and put the square box wrapped in red cloth on her legs, and said with a smile to Zhao Dongsheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"It's not long, it's only about ten minutes." Zhao Dongsheng glanced at the square box wrapped in red cloth, and looked at Bai Xin with a smile, "Where are you going?"
"I'm hungry. There seems to be a night market nearby. Let's go eat something." Bai Xin smiled slightly and said to Zhao Dongsheng.
