Bai Ruiyang's plan has been ruined, it is impossible for him to face others with a peaceful mood at this moment.When Bai Ruiyang returned to Zhongyuan, he immediately called Bai Tian into the office. The two brothers kept a long story short and concise. In short, it was the former who got angry, and the latter who shirked all responsibility.

It will be sooner or later to invite Mayor Ren to a banquet. It was planned by Bai Ruiyang in the itinerary, but it is not now. The current situation is not clear enough. If he had contact with Mayor Ren in advance, Han Ningjun might secretly offer him a banquet.Bai Ruiyang pondered over whether he should show up for today's dinner or not.

Hu Haiyun flew over from Beijing the day before yesterday, a day earlier than Bai Jianjiang.Hu Haiyun was sent by Bai Ruiyang to deal with some trivial matters in the past few days, and now Hu Haiyun has returned from outside.Zhongyuan's interior was lifeless, and there was no one gasping for breath. In such a situation, Hu Haiyun somehow saw the way.Hu Haiyun made a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for Bai Ruiyang outside, then knocked on the office door and walked in.

"I'm back." Bai Ruiyang looked up at him.

Hu Haiyun put the coffee on the table, "It's freshly brewed, but I'm sure it's a pirated version of Blue Mountain."

Normally, Bai Ruiyang would have joked with Hu Haiyun, but now he is not in the mood, "Third Uncle has arranged a dinner for Mayor Ren, what do you think of this?"

Hu Haiyun smiled and said, "Mr. Bai already has an idea. If you want me to tell you, there is absolutely no problem in doing what you want, Mr. Bai."

Bai Ruiyang said coldly: "You are trying to save trouble."

"No way, who made Boss Bai resourceful? Even though I can comprehend your thoughts, I can't penetrate to the essence. That's why I can only be an assistant, but you can be the leader of an enterprise." Hu Haiyun followed Bai Ruiyang has been around for a long time, so it's not a problem to talk about the scene, not to mention the pediatrics of making people happy.

Bai Ruiyang knew that Hu Haiyun was deliberately flattering him, so he ignored it and said, "Since you know what I think, you can do it later."

Hu Haiyun thought for a while and said, "Boss Bai, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. If it's tomorrow, Han Ningjun might be there, but if it's today..."

"What's wrong with him?"

Hu Haiyun smiled, "Recently, Han Ningjun is also troubled by troubles, and he can't avoid them even if he wants to."

Bai Ruiyang said with great interest: "Peach Blossom Debt?"

Hu Haiyun smiled knowingly, "Isn't it? Apart from the nominal fiancée, Han Ningjun is surrounded by countless women. I paid more attention recently. A woman named Yang Liudi is pregnant, and she even chased her here."

"Pregnant?" Bai Ruiyang said meaningfully: "Then the old Han family has a child."

Hu Haiyun snickered and said, "I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."

Bai Ruiyang had heard enough of the jokes, waved his hands and said, "Since he can't attend, it's fine, and I won't attend tonight's banquet. Let third uncle eat this meal in the name of Ren Mayor's classmate."

Hu Haiyun hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this will make Mayor Ren think too much?"

Bai Ruiyang shook his head, "He understands the rules better than I do. If he came to this dinner willingly, then he might be the mayor for the rest of his life." Bai Ruiyang turned his chair, looked out the window and said : "Let's arrange the itinerary for tomorrow. It's time for the Planning Bureau and Housing Management Bureau to prepare."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Hu Haiyun turned around and took a few steps, stopped and said, "Mr. Bai, should we invite them to the city or choose the nearest one?"

Bai Ruiyang figured, since these people are all in the development zone, then just set the location there. After the dinner is over, Bai Ruiyang can stop by to see Dong Yu and the child, "Let's set it in the development zone."

"Yes." Hu Haiyun did not leave in a hurry after responding, but smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, did you take a taxi back today?"

"Why?" Bai Ruiyang slowly turned to Hu Haiyun, "You are very interested."

Hu Haiyun shook his head, "No, it's just that when I passed by the lobby just now, I heard someone whispering that you came here by taxi today."

Bai Ruiyang puzzled, "Is there anything unusual about this?"

"It's strange." Hu Haiyun was honest and unreasonable: "The less unusual the more strange it is, and the third uncle has already called me to ask about your whereabouts. Of course, this is not what he meant, but The old man wants to know."

Bai Ruiyang frowned slightly and said, "It's only been a few days since I left."

Hu Haiyun said with a hint of ridicule in his words: "The old man just cares about you so much, and he misses you very much every day he doesn't see you."

Bai Ruiyang gave Hu Haiyun a hard look, then picked up the phone and dialed the Bai family's old house, the call was connected, and Hu Haiyun exited the office wisely.

There are obviously more customers in Dong Yu's shop than in the past few days, and the turnover rate is so frequent. Without Dong Wenli's help, I don't know when the stall will be closed tonight.He put the rice and millet in the washing machine as usual, and when the door of the shop was closed, Dong Yu immediately carried the two little guys out, "Little guys, do you want to walk by yourself?" Dong Yu put the two little guys out. On the ground, Xiaomi seemed to understand Dong Yu's meaning, and walked with difficulty with unsteady steps.

Dong Wenli looked happily from the side, "Brother, the way Xiaomi walks is really funny, like a little stupid pig."

Dong Yu also laughed, "It's good to be able to walk." After speaking, Dong Yu let go of the rice, and the little guy who lost his center of gravity plopped and squatted.Dong Yu and Dong Wenli were so teased that they couldn't help laughing, while Da Mi raised her head to look at Dong Yu with tears in her eyes, her open little hands were full of anticipation, hoping to return to Dong Yu's embrace.

Dong Yu ignored it, and said with a smile: "Don't act like a baby, let's see how well your younger brother has gone. You, an older brother, can't fall behind."

Da Mi seemed to understand, blinked and looked at his younger brother who was walking and laughing, his posture was crooked, he seemed to hesitate for a long time, Da Mi finally plucked up the courage to support himself, and took a tentative step forward with his little feet. There seemed to be no sign of falling, and then another step...

Ye San had a good time with the shop, until Mi Mi and Xiaomi were tired, Dong Yu cleaned them up, and got into bed with the two babies in his arms.Dong Yu was exhausted all night, physically and mentally exhausted, and when he was in a daze, Xiaomi suddenly kicked him in his arms, which was not light, and immediately kicked Dong Yu out of spirit.

Dong Yu pinched Xiaomi's face with a smile, and looked at Xiaomi's sweet sleep, his heart was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Brother, are you still asleep?" Dong Wenli asked from the curtain.

Dong Yu said in response: "I was about to fall asleep just now, but I was kicked by Xiaomi to wake me up." Dong Yu turned sideways, supported his head with his hands and said, "Why are you still not asleep?"

Dong Wenli said: "Xiao Wu called me today."

"What did you say?"

"It's just chatting, and I didn't say anything special." Dong Wenli sighed, and continued: "I really wanted to ask him about going abroad, but I didn't know how to start." A body, "Stop talking, good night."

Dong Yu hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.

There are lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.I can’t see the lanterns anymore, but the Lantern Festivals are all over the streets. Dong Yu went out early in the morning for a walk, and when he came back, he was very glad that he didn’t go to the wholesale market yesterday, otherwise the Lantern Festivals that came up would definitely be smashed in his hands. So many, more than ever.

The store was not too busy in the morning, and Dong Yu had nothing to do while sitting in the room, except to watch the two little guys play.With an unintentional glance, Dong Yu caught a glimpse of Bai Ruiyang's car parked outside the door, covered with a layer of dust, and there was a vague shadow of ghost claws on the door.Dong Yu couldn't sit still anymore, went to the kitchen, picked up a bucket, and wiped the inside and outside of the car carefully.

"Hey, Dong Yu, are you well-developed?" Zhao Qiang passed by the door and happened to see Dong Yu cleaning up the car like a baby.

Dong Yu straightened up and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao doesn't have to go to work today?"

"What work do you still have? Your brother Zhao will be considered a landowner in the future."

"How to say?" Dong Yu asked while cleaning the car.

"Let me tell you..." Zhao Qiang approached mysteriously, "I just went to take pictures, the street of our house is going to be demolished, I gave the news a few days ago, I'll figure it out, my house will be demolished After that, at least I can change to a two-bedroom apartment."

"Really? Then I have to congratulate you."

"Don't congratulate me, I heard that this place is also going to be demolished, just wait for the news."

There was no joy in Dong Yu's heart, "My place is still some distance away from your house, so it's not a matter of whether it can be demolished here."

"That might not be the case." Zhao Qiang stretched out his hand and patted on the car door, "You bought this car?"

"How is that possible." Dong Yu leaned against the car, "My buddy stopped here after drinking too much last night."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said: "This car looks like it is worth money." Zhao Qiang came to the back of the car, "Yo, it still has a Beijing license plate, your buddy is from Beijing?"

Dong Yu just laughed and didn't dare to answer.

"Okay, I won't bother you to clean the car, I have something to go first."

"Brother Zhao, go slowly, come over when you are free."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Dong Yu was busy again, and finally wiped out Bai Ruiyang's car.In the afternoon, Dong Wenli invited her classmates to the store. They were chatting and laughing in small groups. Seeing that the class reunion time was coming, Dong Wenli pushed Dong Yu to the door, "Brother, it's almost time. I'm with Mi Mi and Xiaomi, so hurry up, or brother Xiaotian will call and bombard you again."

Dong Yu smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go now, otherwise all of your classmates won't let go, and I don't know if I am too majestic, or I can eat people." Dong Yu took the clothes Dong Wenli handed over Put it on, "The child is in your hands, don't patronize and play."

"Wait a minute." Dong Wenli called Dong Yu to stop, and ran to the counter to get the car keys, "Brother, you can drive."

Dong Yu was taken aback, "Why should I drive there?"

Dong Wenli said bitterly, "The current class reunions are all competition meetings. If you go by car, it will save some people from gossiping."

Dong Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "You really think too much, the car is not mine, even if you drive it, people won't believe it."

"Believe it or not, it's enough to make some people shut up, it must be opened."

Dong Yu couldn't hold back her, so he had to compromise, "Okay, can I drive?" Dong Yu took the car keys and got into the car, and drove in the direction of Juxiang Tower.

As soon as Dong Yu left, Dong Wenli's classmates immediately cheered up. A pretty girl secretly asked Dong Wenli about Dong Yu, "How old is your brother?"

Dong Wenli smiled and said, "24, what's the matter, have you taken a fancy to my brother?"

"I don't." The girl blushed, "Wen Li, to be honest, don't be angry."

"The two of us are so nice, I have nothing to be angry about, just tell me."

The girl hesitated and said: "I always thought that your family's conditions were not good, but I just found out today that your brother already drives a Bentley... I never looked down on you before, but I just feel a little poor."

Dong Wenli smiled and said, "I can't blame you, many people think of me that way." Dong Wenli received a lot of supercilious glances at school, which is why she asked Dong Yu to drive to the class reunion today, the occasional vanity , just to pick up the broken self-esteem.

Dong Yu drove to the vicinity of Juxiang Tower, found an inconspicuous corner and parked the car. When he got out of the car, Dong Yu glanced at Bai Ruiyang's car and was full of emotions.It’s not that Dong Yu doesn’t understand what Dong Wenli thinks. In the eyes of some people, it’s normal to hold high and step low, but even so, Dong Yu doesn’t intend to use Bai Ruiyang’s car to fight for anything. He just wants to live a real life, it’s as simple as that .

Just as Dong Yu locked the car, a surprised voice came from behind, "Isn't this Dong Yu?"

Dong Yu was startled, and turned around to see a group of people, headed by his class monitor in the technical secondary school, Lin Yude.

Lin Yude rushed up excitedly, "I said Dong Yu, we haven't seen each other for many years, and you're driving a Bentley this time around, you're so arrogant." Lin Yude waved to the crowd behind him, "Yes It’s not like you’re going to admire each other for three days.”

Dong Yu was so embarrassed that he really didn't know how to respond.In order to avoid meeting them in Juxiang Tower, Dong Yu chose to park his car farther away, but unexpectedly he was bumped into him. God won't wait for you to play around like this.

"Dong Yu, is this car yours?" Zhang Shun walked out from the crowd, he paid more attention than Lin Yude, pointed to the Bentley's license plate and said, "This is a Beijing license plate, I heard, Dong Didn't Yu open a barbecue restaurant in the past few years, when did you go to Beijing to buy a car?"

Lin Yude came to his senses and asked curiously, "Yes, is Dong Yu's car yours?"

"No." Dong Yu said frankly, "I'm a buddy."

Zhang Shun curled his lips in disdain, "I know that's the case." Zhang Shun turned around and locked his Audi, and led the people to Juxiang Tower without looking back, complaining from time to time, "What kind of alumni meeting is this? It's obviously used to step on people. Did you see that they borrowed cars to raise their value, just as everyone else is a fool?"

The female classmate next to Zhang Shun was Wang Haijing, and she whispered to Zhang Shun, "Okay, you are more cunning than us women, and Dong Yu admitted it so straightforwardly, maybe he just opened it by the way."

"Come on, you also believe this?" Zhang Shun quickened his pace, and stopped talking nonsense with Wang Haijing and others.

In the Juxiang Tower, a group of people gathered in the private room on the second floor. Dong Yu followed Lin Yude and entered the door. Zheng Xiaotian saw him with sharp eyes and rushed over immediately, "Why did you come here?"

Just as Lin Yude was about to speak, Zhang Shun snatched the words away, "I wasted time in order to park my car, Zheng Xiaotian, please take care of me."

Zheng Xiaotian heard something in Zhang Shun's words, and said with displeasure: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Shun said disdainfully: "What can I mean? Dong Yu drove a Bentley here today, and I borrowed it."

Zheng Xiaotian ignored Zhang Shun, and dragged Dong Yu to sit aside, "No, what's the matter with you, did you borrow Big Brother Bai's Bentley?"

Dong Yu said helplessly, "Yes."

Zheng Xiaotian understood what Zhang Shun meant, and said solemnly: "Let's just open it, and laugh if you like."

Dong Yu shook his head at him, signaling him not to take this matter to heart.

The private room is full of old classmates from technical secondary schools, who came out of the same major, but the current situation is very different.After graduating, Lin Yude joined the telecommunications bureau. With the constant movement of his family, he is now considered an official.Zhang Shun is better than Lin Yude, because his family's conditions are good. After graduation, he went to Zhejiang to continue his studies. After he was successful in his studies, he entered the financial circle and dealt with money every day.

Everyone's words are always full of hints and comparisons. It seems that Dong Yu, a barbecue restaurant, is the worst mess. The monthly income is not enough for some people to buy a piece of clothing and a leather bag.The atmosphere at the scene was divided, and those with a little bit of ability sat together, talking and laughing happily, and speaking some technical terms that people could not understand.

He knew that Dong Yu was a bad guy, but he was neither greedy nor discouraged, but sat down with three or two classmates who were in the same situation and chatted with each other, and the conversation was quite lively.

"Here we come." Zheng Xiaotian's high-decibel words attracted everyone's attention. Looking in the direction Zheng Xiaotian pointed, a smiling man in casual clothes walked in.

"Shen Tuochen." Zheng Xiaotian said excitedly, "Why are you so late, I thought you weren't coming."

Shen Tuochen smiled and said, "Sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road. I'll punish myself with three cups in a while, and I'll pay you off."

Zheng Xiaotian said with a playful smile, "You said that, even if you don't have a glass." Zheng Xiaotian pulled Shen Tuochen to sit beside him, and before he could push him on the chair, Shen Tuochen suddenly saw Dong Yu sitting in the corner, and he smiled. He walked over, "Dong Yu?"

Dong Yu quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly, "Long time no see."
