Although it was a big Yanei who was dressed in a bright clothes and angry horse, the gift Du Xiao brought was also very cold, just a box of tea.

After handing the gift to the servant, Du Xiao looked at him and soon noticed Chen Liang sitting in Zhao Tai.

His expression froze, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Uncle Zhao, you are getting younger and younger."

Du Xiao, who walked over, no longer had the domineering and mighty of the past, and was like a polite and humble young man.

Sure enough, it still responded to the old saying.

A mature person will never have only a monotonous face.

In front of different characters, they will show different looks.

"Is that so? I'm worried about how many more gray hairs there are on my head."

Zhao Tai stood up with a kind smile.

"Let me introduce it. This is our outstanding young entrepreneur in the East China Sea. Chen Liang, this one is..."

"Uncle Zhao, I know Mr. Chen."

Du Xiao took the conversation and looked at Chen Liang. He was particularly jealous when he did not meet his enemies, but instead had a gentle smile.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect to meet here."

Chen Liang didn't hold on to the air either. After Du Xiao took the initiative to say hello, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up, with an unexpected smile on his face.

"Governor Zhao said just now that there are guests, I didn't expect it would be Mr. Du, it was a coincidence."

Du Xiao nodded with a smile, and there was no sign of hatred or conflict.

The two of them have a good acting skills, no match for each other.

"It just so happens that since you two know each other, I don't need to introduce them more."

Obviously.

Today's dinner was not only notified to Chen Liang in advance, but Du Xiao was also kept in the dark.

"Governor, the meal is ready."

Secretary Xiao reminded.

"Go away, eat and chat."

Chen Liang and Du Xiao had their own thoughts and followed Zhao Tai to the restaurant.

Secretary Xiao originally planned to leave, but Zhao Tai stayed to eat together.

A little detail is enough to indirectly illustrate Zhao Tai's official position and person.

There will naturally be no scene of a Manchu and Han banquet when eating in the No. 1 courtyard of the city government. The dishes on the table are very simple, with three meats and three vegetables, all of which are home-cooked dishes.

"What you should eat normally is delicious delicacies, and you don't know whether to eat or not."

"Uncle Zhao, what you said is that I am never picky about food. When I was a child, my dad gave me the most food, which was pickled buns."

Chen Liang's face became obviously stiff. If it weren't for the fact that he had experienced a lot of things recently and had received a lot of tempering in his heart, he would have almost laughed.

If you laugh, it will definitely be embarrassing.

Even if he had such a poor family environment when he was a child, he was not as bad as pickles and steamed buns every day.

But Zhao Tai seemed to believe it and nodded with a smile.

"Your father has such a personality. If you decide that a boy has to endure hardships. The sharpness of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. His generation has been like this since he was a child, so the same is true for educating you. He has wanted you to join the army since he was a child and inherit his legacy, but this kind of thing cannot be forced. You young people have their own ideas and their lives are their own. He has spent so much effort, but in the end he was unable to do so."

Zhao Tai and Du Xiao were chatting about family matters there, and Chen Liang didn't feel embarrassed and ate food on his own.

"Mr. Chen, have a drink?"

Secretary Xiao is very good at doing things.

The job of secretary is usually a talented person, and as the number one secretary, he is also a veritable power figure in the East China Sea.

Ordinary rich people definitely don’t need him to put down his figure to cater to him. The main reason is that this young man’s weight in the governor’s mind seems to be unusual and cannot be neglected.

"Sorry, I drove the car."

"It's okay, I'll call a designated driver later."

Chen Liang was not very easy to refuse because the other party gave face so much, so he could only nod.

The wine on the table is not Maotai, but a special Guojiao. It is not circulated in the market, but only provides staff of a certain level or above.

Although he is rich now, Chen Liang has never drunk such a good wine. The burning spiciness he choked him so much that he couldn't help coughing and immediately got up.

His cough attracted Du Xiao and Zhao Tai's attention.

"Xiao Chen, is it okay?"

"fine."

Chen Liang took a breath.

"I didn't expect the wine to be so strong."

"If Mr. Chen can't drink it, he'd better drink water, otherwise it wouldn't be great if he gets drunk later."

Du Xiao reminded.

As we all know.

In addition to being a human society, the Dragon Kingdom is also a wine table society.

Since Chen Liang has already poured the wine, if he doesn't finish drinking it and put it here, it means he disrespects Zhao Tai and may offend the other party because of this.

Du Xiao's behavior seems to be kind, but in fact he is sinister.

Chen Liang is naturally not a young man who just left the society. No matter what, he had worked in Shunfeng Company for at least a year before, so his basic human relationships and worldly styles are still clear.

"It's okay, thank you Mr. Du for your kindness."

"This wine is relatively strong, but for you young people, there should be no big problem. You two have to drink it well."

Zhao Tai did not mention the conflict between Chen Liang and Du Xiao at all, but the implication was clearly expressed.

His appearance really made Du Xiao a little unexpected.

In his eyes, Chen Liang was just a capitalist. Except for some money, he was not worth mentioning in other aspects, but if Zhao Tai supported him later, the concept would be different.

The top leader of the East China Sea will definitely go further in the future.

Not to mention Du Xiao, even the entire Du family is generally unwilling to offend such a senior official.

But what Du Xiao couldn't understand was why a boy who had no foundation and no background and had a little luck in his best interest was so favored by Zhao Tai?

"Mr. Du, I'll give you a cup. I've offended you so much before, so don't take it to your heart."

Chen Liang picked up the wine glass at Du Xiao, his eyes sincere and sincere.

Don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face.

If he didn't give Chen Liang this face, he would be slapping Zhao Tai in the face, and Du Xiao wouldn't be so stupid.

After laughing, Du Xiao quickly picked up the wine glass.

"Dong Yan Chen is serious. What kind of offense should you offend? It's just a little misunderstanding."

"Bang."

The two cups collided crisply.

Regardless of whether they met or not, they were filled with grudges, at least under Zhao Tai's gaze, both of them had warm smiles on their faces.

Another mouthful.

From the stomach to the throat, there seemed to be a fire burning, and Chen Liang grinned secretly.

In contrast, Du Xiao's performance was much better. Perhaps he often drank this kind of wine and looked as usual.

"Uncle Zhao, where is Qingzi?"

"The child is grown up and the parents are unable to help her. She rarely comes back."

Zhao Tai shook his head.

When mentioning his own pearl in his hand, the powerful official revealed a sense of depression and loneliness.
