When Zhu Yiming and Ouyang Xiaolei entered, Xiao Minghua, Li Qian and Han Dongmei were sitting in a private room drinking tea. After seeing the two people come in, the three people immediately stood up.
Han Dongmei smiled and said: "Secretary Zhu is here, the shop is really shining!"
Zhu Yiming was about to speak, but Ouyang Xiaolei said first: "Sister Dongmei, you are becoming more and more eloquent. I remember that when Li Qian and I mobilized to open Hongmei Restaurant, you were still worried about not opening your mouth when you saw the customers. Speaking of which, compared to then, they are completely different people!"
Li Qian said, "Xiao Lei's words are quite right. Sister Dongmei is now a celebrity in Hengyang City, and the Hongmei Hotel was even awarded a three-star rating some time ago. Who would have thought at that time?"
After Han Dongmei heard this, she hurriedly said: "I don't have friends like you to help me, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to hold on to this small shop."
When Han Dongmei said this, she deliberately raised her head and glanced at Zhu Yiming. She knew very well that without Zhu Yiming's help when rating the stars of Hongmei Hotel, there would be no chance. This is also the main reason why she invited us to dinner today. Of course, she won't put this on the table. Everyone just needs to know it.
¡°Boss Han, you invited us to be your doorkeepers, right?¡± Zhu Yiming joked with a smile.
When Han Dongmei heard this, she quickly said: "Look, I'm just catching up with Xiaolei. Secretary Zhu, sister Xiaolei, please sit down, please sit down!"
After Zhu Yiming and Ouyang Xiaolei took their seats, Han Dongmei winked at the waitress standing aside, indicating that she could leave.
Han Dongmei originally offered to serve white wine, but Zhu Yiming refused. Finally, Xiao Minghua came up with a compromise idea, and the five of them drank red wine together.
After the first glass of wine was filled, Han Dongmei picked up the glass and said, "I would like to toast everyone with this first glass of wine. Thank you for your concern and care for me over the years. Without you, I would not be where I am today. Others I won¡¯t say any kind words, it¡¯s all in the wine.¡±
After saying this, Han Dongmei raised her glass and drank it down.
Seeing this, the other four people couldn't refuse, so they also toasted together. While Zhu Yiming was drinking, he did not forget to glance at Ouyang Xiaolei beside him. Over the years, Ouyang Xiaolei has basically stopped drinking. This is why Han Dongmei refused when she proposed drinking liquor just now. However, she still couldn't bear the current way of drinking.
Zhu Yiming knows very well that no matter whether it is red wine, beer, or rice wine, as long as he drinks too much, it will be much more uncomfortable than white wine. However, on this occasion, it is really not easy for Ouyang Xiaolei not to drink. She, Li Qian and Han Dongmei have been good friends for many years. In the past ten years, they have been together less and separated more. Today is a rare opportunity, so of course he can't be disappointed.
After Li Qian put down the wine glass, she suddenly remembered something and said to Zhu Yiming: "Secretary Zhu, do you still remember what happened when you first ate at Sister Han's restaurant?"
"Li Qian, Sister Han, Secretary Zhu, who keeps his mouth shut, do you also want me to call you Director Li and Boss Han? Just call you Yiming, okay?" Zhu Yiming said.
At this time, Li Qian was already the director of the Hengyang Municipal Party Committee Office, so Zhu Yiming said this.
After hearing this, Li Qian and Han Dongmei looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"The first time I came to Sister Han's place, I may never forget it in my life." Zhu Yiming said solemnly, "I almost got into a fight with that guy named Wang Shelong. Thanks to Xiaolei's help in saving the siege, haha!"
"Wang Wanglong!" Ouyang Xiaolei said, "That time was mainly because of Lin Zhiquan's trouble. Otherwise, how could Wang Wanglong have such courage?"
"Yes, since that time, Lin Zhiquan has been thinking about Zhu Shu Once he got it, he almost succeeded. Huh, he is really a villain." Li Qian said with a look of resentment.
After hearing what Ouyang Xiaolei and Li Qian said, Zhu Yiming couldn't help but think of Lin's previous image with eye sockets. He didn't expect that the yin and yang were separated at this time, and no matter how much resentment he had, it should have been dispersed by the wind.
Xiao Minghua noticed that Zhu Yiming's mood was a bit wrong, so he raised his glass and said: "These are all old things. It's rare for us to get together. If we don't talk about these unhappy things, come on, have a drink!"
After hearing Xiao Minghua¡¯s words, the three ladies all understood, so they raised their glasses one after another, touched each other twice, and then drank down the wine in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, Li Qian said to Ouyang Xiaolei: "Xiaolei, how many days are you going to stay in Hengyang this time?"
Some time ago, Ouyang Hua's health was not good. Ouyang Xiaolei stayed in Hengyang for more than a month. Li Qian thought that the other party was not good.She left, but she eventually returned to Dongfang City.
"I won't leave this time, so I will stay in Hengyang. My parents are old and need someone to take care of them." When Ouyang Xiaolei said this, she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Zhu Yiming.
Since his father fell ill, Ouyang Xiaolei has been in a dilemma. He originally wanted to take his parents to the east. When discussing with Zhu Yiming, they met with opposition. The reason was simple. The elderly were accustomed to life in a small county, and asking them to leave their hometowns at this time would be tantamount to forcing others to do something difficult.
After some thought, Ouyang Xiaolei gave up the idea and decided to take her son back to Hengyang so that it would be easier to take care of her parents.
After hearing what Ouyang Xiaolei said, Li Qian said happily: "It's great if you don't leave. The three of us can get together again in the future. Dongmei, come, let the three of us have a drink to celebrate Xiaolei." Return to Hengyang!"
After hearing this, Han Dongmei was also very happy and raised her wine glass with a smile.
An hour and a half later, Ouyang Xiaolei drank too much as expected, and Zhu Yiming carefully helped her get into the car. Han Dongmei was about to go over to help, but was quietly grabbed by Li Qian.
After Zhu Yiming helped Ouyang Xiaolei into the car, said hello to the three of them, he drove towards Ouyang Hua's house
Watching Zhu Yiming's car go away, Han Dongmei whispered: "Oh, Sister Xiaolei, so beautiful and outstanding, I really don't know what she thought that way back then!"
After hearing this, Li Qian pondered for a moment and murmured in a low voice: "If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night!"
ps: 1. At the request of book friends, I wrote an extra story about Ouyang Xiaolei. I originally wanted to post it in "Related Works", but in that case, mobile book friends would not be able to see it. After some thinking, I still decided I think I¡¯ll post it in the main text so that readers who like it can read it.
2. Special thanks to Brother "Taiyu Lihua 1957" for providing a reward of 10,000 vertical and horizontal coins and two monthly passes after the completion of "The Picture of the Official". Qihe would like to express his gratitude.
