Life With You

Song Xi cut the mess quickly and said he would make an appointment with Xu Shunping on the same day.

She dialed the phone number Song Yuanqing gave her and listened to the beeping sound from her phone, already thinking about the next dialogue in her mind.

Not long after, a message came from the mobile phone: Hello?

The man's voice was unfamiliar and calm.

Song Xi took a breath and called out: Hello, Uncle Xu, I am Song Xi, and Song Yuanqing is my father. I'm sorry to call you rashly. I didn't disturb you, right?

The other party was stunned for a moment, and then replied very kindly: No, no, it turns out to be Xiao Xi...

When he called Song Xi by her nickname, there was an indescribable sense of intimacy, as if he had known her for a long, long time, but this was the first time Song Xi had come into contact with him.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and Xu Shunping took the initiative and said, I know what you want from me. Let's come out and meet when you have time.

Song Xi said: Uncle Xu, depending on your arrangements, I can do it here at any time.

Xu Shunping said: Let me see... let's do it tomorrow. Is it convenient for you tomorrow?

convenient.

Then I will wait for you on the second floor of Guangde Building at 11 noon tomorrow.

Song Xi said: I'll book a private room and wait for Uncle Xu to come over and order food together.

Xu Shunping said: I'll order it. You are a junior, how can I let you treat me to dinner?

Song Xi said: I heard that you have just been transferred back to work in China. This meal is my welcome feast for you. Next time you have time, I will definitely go to your appointment.

The two fought for a while, and finally Xu Shunping said helplessly: Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that even if she was a friend of Song Yuanqing, it would still be such a big deal if she asked someone for something. The other party would be in a high position, but she didn't expect to be so polite. It made her a little at a loss.

Whether she underestimated the friendship between Song Yuanqing and Xu Shunping, or her misconception was wrong, she always felt that Xu Shunping treated her more like an elder who had known her for many years.

But no matter what, it is always good to have Xu Shunping's path.

Song Xi had already arranged all the schedule, and George Sheng called. He had just finished his work, and Yuan Bao mentioned this to him. His client was the last one in the circle to know.

When the call was connected, his first sentence was: Are you tired?

Song Xi said: What are you tired of?

George Sheng said in a low voice: I only see dad once a month, and we still have to worry about these rotten things. Let's talk happily.

Song Xi said: Dad has always been thinking about me, and I am not unhappy at all. We will only be happy when the matter is resolved.

The last thing George Sheng wanted was for his family to worry about him, but now he had his father-in-law planning for him in prison and his wife running around for him. He felt very guilty.

Although he didn't say it out loud, Song Xi could feel it. She said to him over the phone: My dad never taught me to hide behind my family when something goes wrong. The whole family has to fight side by side. And is this called a trouble? Nothing that can be solved is a problem.”

George Sheng said: I will go with you tomorrow.

Song Xi said: No, this is a tense moment, when there are many people and many eyes are watching you secretly. It is much more convenient for me to go than for you to go.

After all, Song Xi is also Song Yuanqing's daughter. The Song family's officialdom has been ups and downs for many years. Even if Song Yuanqing loses power, people can't fault Song Xi when he meets some uncles and elders.

Officials are very afraid of being caught, and they don’t want to be known to have private dealings with businessmen. If there is a reasonable bridge between them, everything will fall into place. This is why Qi Cheng fell in love with Song Dynasty in the first place. The reason for Yuan, to put it bluntly, is just her status, as if she had obtained a direct green card.

You are busy with your work, and I am busy with mine. We divide the work and cooperate. Song Xi put the neatness into his work, simply and directly.

But George Sheng said in a low voice that sounded sour, Make it like a partner.

Song Xi smiled unexpectedly, and then said, Who wanted to be my partner before?

George Sheng said: You recommended yourself.

Song Xi's beautiful eyes raised, I want to be a quiet and low-key beautiful woman, but who always gives me a show of disdain for me as a dragster? Thinking about those days, I still want to cry now.

Indeed, Song Xi suffered a lot when the two first got together.

George Sheng still had a strong desire to survive, and the past was too long to look back on, so don't look back. He asked calmly: What should we have for dinner?

Song Xi couldn't laugh or cry: Changing the topic?

George Sheng said: I asked people to buy a lot of fresh ingredients and go home for dinner in the evening.

Song Xi was ready to force him into a corner, but he unknowingly led him down a path of no return.

Song Xi arrived at the private room on the second floor of Guangde Building at 10:30 the next morning. She thought she would rather come earlier than later at this time. Unexpectedly, not long after she sat down, the clerk knocked on the door and brought a middle-aged man in. Although I have never met Xu Shunping, but looking at the clothes of the person in front of me, I can immediately match the person on the phone yesterday. He is a very elegant and gentle person.

Song Xi secretly said that luckily she was half an hour early, otherwise Xu Shunping would have caught her.

He stood up and went forward to greet him. When the clerk closed the door, Song Xi smiled and called out: Hello, Uncle Xu, this is the first time we meet. I am Song Xi.

Xu Shunping looked at Song Xi with light in his eyes, as if he was surprised that she had grown so big. However, these were all Song Xi's imagination and he did not say them out loud.

Come so early? he asked.

Song Xi said: I came here early because I had nothing else to do. Uncle Xu also came so early.

Xu Shunping said: I just returned to Night City. The traffic here is very congested. Go out early to avoid wasting time on the road.

Song Xi stood and poured tea for Xu Shunping, his attitude was respectful, his tone was humble, and he was thorough.

When Xu Shunping took the tea cup, he thanked her and asked her to sit down and talk.

Song Xi said truthfully: Uncle Xu went abroad very early, right? I didn't seem to have seen you when I was a child, but my dad said that I have known you for many years.

Xu Shunping nodded, Your father and I have known each other for many years. You were still young at that time, maybe only eleven or twelve years old, but you have grown so big in a blink of an eye. If I saw you on the road, I would not dare to recognize you.

Song Xi chatted with Xu Shunping and learned that his family was moving back to Night City this time. He said, You are very busy. I will invite my aunt and brother to have dinner with me another day.

Xu Shunping smiled and nodded, They must be very happy to see you.

Song Xi thought this was just a polite remark and didn't take it seriously. Later, the two of them had a good conversation throughout the meal. Xu Shunping also told Song Xi frankly that as long as Tan Yanbo can provide evidence of Tan Yanbo's violation of law and discipline. He will handle the evidence strictly and impartially and will not be influenced by anyone.

Song Xi felt relieved when she heard this. She didn't know why, but she also felt that she had never met Xu Shunping before, but when they met for the first time, it was like they had known each other for a long time. Her intuition told her that Xu Shunping would not harm her. Not only would he not harm her, I will do my best to help her.
