Xia Lei returned to the resort an hour later.
The birthday banquet has ended, but the guests have not dispersed yet. The guests drank tea in the teahouse, some played cards, and the atmosphere was still lively.
Seeing Xia Lei return, Tang Yuyan's face suddenly showed a smile. She went up to him, took Xia Lei's arm affectionately, and led him to the teahouse.
"Why are you back so soon?" Tang Yuyan asked tentatively: "Is Shentu Tianyin okay?"
Xia Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, she's not sick at all."
"Are you not sick?" Tang Yuyan said, "I knew that was the case. Don't I know what she was thinking? She must have asked you not to be with me and to remarry her, right?"
"I didn't say that, I just wanted to talk to me."
Tang Yuyan raised the corner of her mouth, "I don't believe it, you still speak for her."
"Really, she...she also blessed us." Xia Lei said.
Tang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and a second later her pretty face broke into a smile. She actually didn't care about Shentu Tianyin's blessings. What made her suddenly happy was Xia Lei's words, because they were already a statement. Originally, she was a little worried that Xia Lei wouldn't agree easily, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily and happily. A good thing finally happened, how could she not be excited and happy
After entering the teahouse, the guests drinking tea in the teahouse saw Tang Yuyan and Xia Lei walking arm in arm, and they immediately started talking in low voices.
"The girl from the Tang family and Xia Lei are probably married, right?"
"It seems like it's done. The people of the Tang family are really powerful. Once Xia Lei is dealt with, the future development will be immeasurable."
"Hey, who doesn't want to marry their daughter to Xia Lei now? A few days ago, a friend asked me if I knew Xia Lei, and wanted to invite Xia Lei to a party. That friend of mine has a high position, and he also happens to have a man to marry. My daughter, I heard, graduated from Harvard. Unfortunately, Xia Lei and I are not familiar with each other at all... "
"Even I am envious of the Tang family grabbing such a good thing."
"Who is not envious? Xia Lei is now a national treasure and has a bright future. If we marry him, wouldn't that also mean a bright future?"
"Let's also add someone with unlimited financial prospects. Xia Lei is now worth hundreds of billions, and this is just the beginning."
"Keep your voice down. If people from the Tang family hear this, they will be unhappy..."
Amid such discussions, Tang Yuyan took Xia Lei's hand and came to the place where the Tang family was sitting and drinking tea.
"Is Shentu Tianyin okay?" Zhang Yumei looked very concerned.
Xia Lei said: "It's okay, she's okay."
Zhang Yumei smiled and said, "Oh, I was worried to death just now. I wish she was fine. You, you have a lot to do. From now on, I will leave such matters to Yu Yan to handle. There is no need for you to go there yourself." Women understand women better, and women can handle some things better."
Xia Lei smiled and said nothing.
"Leizi, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Tang Tianlong asked Xia Lei to sit down, and then called the waiter to make tea for Xia Lei.
Tang Yuyan did not sit down, but stood beside Xia Lei, her face full of joy and happiness.
Zhang Yumei, a mother, saw this expression and was happy in her heart. She smiled and said: "Silly girl, why are you standing there and giggling? Sit down."
Tang Yuyan simply sat on the armrest of Xia Lei's wicker chair and said with a smile: "I'll sit here." Her butt touched Xia Lei's arm, but she didn't mind the looks of her family and guests.
Xia Lei also smiled, looking very natural.
Xia Changhe, who was drinking tea with him, suddenly laughed, "Isn't it done? Haha." He was originally worried that Xia Lei would not be willing, but now it seemed that Xia Lei was actually willing, and he breathed a sigh of relief. .
Zhang Yumei smiled and said, "I knew that your Xia Lei and our Yu Yan were a perfect match." She looked at Xia Lei with love in her eyes, "Leizi, when you leave, we will follow your father." Let’s discuss it, we want to pick a good day to host an engagement party for you, what do you think?”
"Okay, no problem." Xia Lei said with a smile, "Everything depends on Auntie's arrangement."
Tang Yuyan touched Xia Lei with her arm, and then whispered: "Why are you still calling me aunt? You have to change your words."
"Uh..." Xia Lei smiled awkwardly, "I should call... Mom."
"So good." Zhang Yumei's face was full of smiles, and she was very happy.
Shi Boren chuckled and said, "Good things come in pairs today. I'm so happy today. Lei Zi, you didn't have a good drink with me at noon today. We must have a few more drinks in the evening."
Xia Lei was about to agree, but Tang Yuyan said: "Godfather, I don't allow you to make him drink."
Shi Boren smiled and said: "Oh, you girl, you are helping Lei Zi even before you get married. What's the matter with me having a few drinks with him? Today is not your bridal night, and getting drunk won't hinder anything. Right? Even if it’s a night of flowers and candles in your bridal chamber, I’ll still get him drunk.”
"Godfather!" Tang Yuyan rolled her eyes at Shi Boren and blushed.
Shi Boren's dirty words brought laughter. We are all adults and will soon become a family. Such jokes are actually harmless.
After chatting for a few more words, Shi Boren answered a phone call.
"Well, well..." Shi Boren stood up and walked to the window, "I will arrange it, she is fine..."
It was this sentence that caught Xia Lei's attention, and his eyes locked on Shi Boren.
"Yes, she will be transferred. There is nothing we can do about it... Her qualifications and results are better than Yu Yan... Hmm, I think it is a good thing for her to go to a new job. The position is a little higher than now... I will do a good job in her ideological work..." Shi Boren's words.
Although Shi Boren did not mention Long Bing and Tang Yuyan in his words, Xia Lei still understood it and understood the truth about the impossible confidential document that Long Bing received.
Shi Boren is about to retire, and the new successor will be selected internally in the 101st Bureau. Long Bing's qualifications and achievements are far superior to Tang Yuyan, and in order for Tang Yuyan to smoothly ascend to the position, the 101st Bureau will conduct a purge, and the person to be purged is Long Bing. With Long Bing here, even if Tang Yuyan takes over Shi Boren's class, it will seem unfair. Unfairness will lead to discussion. If there is too much discussion, it will appear unfair and unfair, and people will feel that there is something wrong here. What shady factors. And neither Shi Boren nor Tang Yuyan wanted to see this.
This truth made Xia Lei feel sad. In his heart, Long Bing is the most suitable person to take over from Shi Boren because she has a passionate patriotic heart. She loves this country and this profession beyond all else. She has made so many achievements, and it can even be said that she used her life and blood to forge her medal of merit, but in the end she got this result.
However, what made him feel even more sad was that he didn't think Shi Boren and Tang Yuyan had done anything wrong, because such things happened every day in this land, too many. This is the struggle on the battlefield of rights. Fairness and ability are often the least valued things.
Xia Lei originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Shi Boren, but now it seems there is no need.
"It seems that A Bing's time to stay in Bureau 101 is running out. Even if she can complete the task, Shi Boren will probably transfer her to another department. What should I do to help her? Maybe , I should have a good talk with her and see what she thinks." Xia Lei thought in his heart, and his mood became depressed.
"What are you thinking about?" Tang Yuyan seemed to notice something.
"No, it's nothing." Xia Lei said.
"Open your mouth and eat a piece of apple." Tang Yuyan inserted a piece of apple with a toothpick and fed it to Xia Lei's mouth.
Xia Lei bit off the apple and forced a smile on his face.
"Giggle." Tang Yuyan smiled happily, "You have to feed me apples every day from now on, okay?"
Xia Lei smiled and nodded, but his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and there was a dull pain. Tang Yuyan obviously knew the truth, but she would not tell Long Bing, even though her relationship with Long Bing was actually as close as best friends. She is the eldest daughter of the Tang family, and is favored by thousands of people, but Long Bing is just a lonely person, and he can't compete with her at all. If you can't fight, then you can't fight, but you still have to become a victim of her ascendancy. She smiled so happily because she had just gained love and would soon gain career success, but what about Long Bing? Who cares about her feelings? Who would feel sorry for the hurt and pain she endured
"You girl really spoiled you, I have to criticize you." Zhang Yumei pretended to have a serious expression, "After you and Lei Zi get engaged, you will be his wife. You have to take care of him. Life, washing clothes, cooking, etc., nothing can be missing. You can't be the same as before, otherwise, I will beat you."
"I know, I know." Tang Yuyan raised her lips, "You know how to bully me and turn your back on him. My life will be very miserable in the future."
"Haha, you really want it." Tang Bochuan laughed.
Tang Yuyan glared at Tang Bochuan, "From now on, I will ask my son not to call you uncle, but to call you idiot."
Everyone in the Tang family laughed.
But at this moment, a group of people came to the door of the hall, all wearing black suits and red badges on their chests. One person may not be a big deal, but if they are all dressed up like this and there are still twenty or thirty people, their aura seems very strong.
This group of people had expressionless faces, and everyone looked serious.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with a razor-sharp face and sharp eyes, giving people an air of majesty, uprightness and impenetrability.
"That's not an organization..." Someone knew him, but didn't know why he didn't continue.
As soon as this group of people arrived, the temperature in the entire teahouse hall went from autumn to cave sky, and it became cold.
When Shi Boren and Tang Tianlong asked Tang Yunhai to see this group of people, their expressions stiffened and they looked slightly nervous.
"Bo Ren, did you invite me?" After a brief moment of astonishment, Tang Yunhai asked.
Shi Boren said: "No, I didn't invite them. How could I invite these people?"
"Then how did they..." Tang Tianlong hesitated to speak.
During the conversation between the three of them, the group of people seemed to have found the person they were looking for and strode over.
Shi Boren came forward and said, "Chief Zhou, you..."
The person who can make Shi Boren also called the chief is great.
The leading middle-aged man said: "No need to say hello, we are here to find Xia Lei."
ps: Thanks to fourth brother Xiaoyu for the tip, thank you! It's almost the end of the month, and I'm ranked 15th on the monthly ticket list. This is all because of the help of my brothers. Xiao Li bows to express his thanks again!
