Chapter 1912: Banquet

Wu Qiang was shocked. Although Xia Ruofei did not spend much time in the capital, Wu Qiang still knew a little bit about the boss of Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei didn't have any pretensions and treated everyone very kindly. Generally speaking, if there are guests visiting , Even if Xia Ruofei couldn't go home in time, Wu Qiang and the others would let the guests into the house first.
He didn't expect that Xia Ruofei would directly ask him to say something so lightly, and then there was no other order.
But Wu Qiang was stunned, and then immediately said: "Okay! I'll pass it on!"
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, he continued to drive. After more than half an hour, he had already arrived at Song's old house.
Song Lao usually lives in the old house, so the security level here is very high. There are no other private houses in an area around the old house, but there are some buildings used by guards, including about one kilometer away from the old house. , There is already a sentry with live ammunition at the intersection.
However, Xia Ruofei's car and his person had already been filed with the security guard, so Xia Ruofei simply stopped and registered at the intersection. Of course, the guards checked the vehicle meticulously to ensure that there were no other unrelated persons and dangerous goods, and then let it go.
Xia Ruofei drove the car and came to the quaint old house of the Song family.
In fact, after Xia Ruofei entered the intersection, the door guard had already called the duty room of the old house, so before Xia Ruofei's car stopped, she saw Mr. Song’s personal secretary, Director Lu, greeted him with a smile on his face. .
Xia Ruofei quickly parked the car, then pushed the door to get out of the car.
"Director Lu, you come out to meet you personally, this makes me so scared!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Director Lu said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are a distinguished guest. Shouldn't I come out to meet you? If I didn't pick you up personally, the chief would criticize me for being ignorant."
"Director Lu is serious!" Xia Ruofei said.
He had a lot of contacts with the Song family. Naturally, he knew the position of Director Lu in the Song family. Needless to say, the administrative level. If this was put in place, he would definitely be a great official in Xinjiang. The key was that Director Lu was in Song. Mr. Song has worked with him for many years. When Mr. Song was in office, he was the head of the office. After he retired, Director Lv still followed Mr. Song to take care of security. It can be said that Mr. Lv is actually not only Mr. Song’s subordinate, but more like him. It's like family.
Therefore, Director Lu personally greeted Xia Ruofei, which shows how much the Song family attaches importance to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei then asked, "Director Lu, is the chief at home? I took the liberty to visit the house, wondering if it would disturb the elderly’s rest?"
A big boss at the level of Song Lao, even if he has retired, is not easily seen by ordinary people. Even if some big leaders come to visit, they must call in advance to confirm the schedule. Like Xia Ruofei, do not say hello. I'm afraid the scorpion is the only one who came here.
Director Lu said with a smile: "The chief has been at home recently! Mr. Xia, you haven't visited the chief for a long time! The chief wants to know that you are here, I don't know how happy it is! How could it bother his elderly? "
Director Lu usually rests near the duty room. He received the notice the first time. He didn't have time to report to Song Lao, so he hurried out to greet him.
Of course, this was also because the person who came was Xia Ruofei, and Director Lu knew very well that Xia Ruofei didn't need to inform him at all when he came to the door.
"How is the chief's health recently?" Xia Ruofei asked again.
"Alright!" Director Lu said with a smile, "The chief has praised you many times, saying that you are also a good hand in health care, and his bones are so strong, thanks to you!"
"That's a good foundation for the chief..." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Director Lu, wait a moment, I also brought some gifts to the chief in the trunk. I want to take it."
"I'll find someone to come and get it!" Director Lu said quickly.
Not only Song Lao and his family live in this old house, but there are also many staff responsible for security, including internal guards, drivers, chefs, etc., so Director Lu said hello without saying anything. Two staff members ran over.
Xia Ruofei said, "No need! Director Lu, there are not many things, I can carry it by myself!"
After speaking, he opened the trunk of the commercial vehicle and took out some gifts he had prepared for Mr. Song from it, and politely declined the staff to come up to help.
Director Lu saw that the thing was really not too heavy, so he gestured to the two staff members and told them to retreat first, and then personally accompanied Xia Ruo to fly to the inner house.
Director Lu said as he walked: "The chief should be reading documents this time. Let's go directly to the study!"
Although Song Lao has retired for many years, his level of leadership still enjoys the treatment of the corresponding level. Many documents will be copied to him. He has always been concerned about the development of the country, so he will draw every day. Time to read the documents, understand the country's major policies and domestic and foreign dynamics, this is a repertoire that can hardly be beaten.
Director Lu has followed Song Lao for so many years, so naturally he is very clear about Song Lao's routine.
The two went through the corridor and came to the inner house where Song Lao lived. Director Lu took Xia Ruofei to the entrance of the study in a familiar manner. Mr. Song really sat at the desk with reading glasses and read the documents carefully. Sometimes he would draw the key content on the documents with a pen, which seemed very serious.
Generally, Director Lu would not disturb Lao Song at such times, but today is considered a special situation. Xia Ruo flew over to visit Lao Song, so he didn't hesitate to knock on the door of the study room lightly and shouted, "Head!"
Old Song frowned slightly, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and took a look.
He immediately saw Xia Ruofei standing next to Director Lu. The slight displeasure suddenly disappeared. A surprised smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said, "Ruofei? You can think of you to visit me. This old man! Come in! Come in!"
"Grandpa Song!" Xia Ruofei also showed a smile on his face and stepped into the study.
Lao Song looked very happy when he saw Xia Ruofei. He directly pulled Xia Ruofei to the sofa and sat down, and then said to Director Lu: "Xiao Lu, find out my best tea..."
Director Lu said with a smile, "Chief, the best tea here is the Taoyuan Dahongpao Xia gave you!"
Song Lao was shocked, then stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, this little guy has a lot of good things in his hands! Ruo Fei, I think you have big bags, and I brought them to the old man. What good stuff?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Grandpa Song, you don't need anything here. I just bring some tea, supplements, etc., mainly to express my feelings."
Xia Ruofei did not specially prepare gifts this time. He just took some of the things in the Lingtu space, including Taoyuan Dahongpao, Laoshan Ginseng, Cordyceps, etc., and then found the packing box to pack it up. There were five or six things. gift.
"Knowing that I am not lacking, you are so polite!" Song Lao said angrily, "that is, you, if others dare to give me gifts so openly, they will definitely not even be able to enter my house!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "That's different. Others may beg you to do things. I honor your old man. Can you still not accept it?"
Old Song laughed loudly and said, "Come! Take! Take! How could I not take the gifts that I sent! Xiao Lu, take all these things to my room, oh right...leave the tea leaves! Let’s try it now!"
"Yes! Chief!" Director Lu picked up the gifts Xia Ruofei had brought, and left the box of tea leaves.
And Xia Ruofei said: "Grandpa Song, I'll make tea!"
"Okay! Young people have quick hands and feet!" said Song Lao, "and the tea your kid makes has a unique natural flavor, I like to drink it!"
Before Director Lu went out, Song Lao said again: "Xiao Lu, tell the kitchen to prepare for the dinner! Take out the drunk Eight Immortals that Ruofei sent last time. I want to drink two glasses at night!"
"Good chief!" Director Lu said quickly.
After Song Lao finished his order, he smiled and asked, "Ruo Fei, stay at home for dinner at night, is it okay?"
"Your old man has spoken, how could there be a problem!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I haven't eaten with you for a long time, and I have a drink with you tonight!"
Old Song was so happy that he laughed and said, "Good! Good! Good!"
Xia Ruofei skillfully fiddled with the tea set to prepare tea, and Song Lao said with emotion, "I can't help but talk about this person! I told Xiao Lu yesterday that Ruofei this kid hasn't been at home for a long time, isn't it? Forgot about me, this bad old man? I didn't expect your kid to come to the house today!"
Xia Ruofei poured the boiled water out to heat up the tea set, and then added tea leaves to it, said: "Grandpa Song, I was busy with some things some time ago, and I haven't been to the capital. I met with Song Rui and the others after coming here yesterday. Face, this is not... I will come to see you today!"
"You arrived in the capital yesterday? Xiao Rui didn't tell me either! This kid..." said Song Lao. "This kid doesn't like to run here because he has nothing to do. He sees me like a mouse and a cat. People always say that my grandson doesn’t kiss my grandfather. Ruo Fei, do you think that my grandfather is too fierce?

"You are kind!" Xia Ruofei said, "I have already told Xiao Rui that he wants to go home more to accompany you, anyway, he is living close now. No...I already called him in advance. , So he must come back for dinner tonight!"
"He agreed?"
"He dare not disagree!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"You still have a way!" Old Song patted Xia Ruofei on the shoulder and said, "I'll call Zhilan back too! She is busy at work and rarely comes to me!"
Most of Song Lao's children are working abroad, and they are now at a very critical stage. If they go further, they can probably return to Beijing to work, but at this stage only his daughter Song Zhilan is in the capital. Song Zhilan is mainly responsible for the commercial affairs of the Song family, and the group headquarters is in the capital.
In fact, Song Rui works in the family group, which is to follow Song Zhilan to learn about business management.
The Song family has also given up on Song Rui’s official career in the past two years. In fact, Song Rui has no talent in this area, so he began to guide him to business talents. Following the normal trajectory, Song Rui has a high probability in the future. Will take over Song Zhilan's baton and take charge of the Song family's business empire.
Song Lao called Song Zhilan back for dinner, plus Song Rui, tonight is basically a family dinner, which shows that Xia Ruofei's position in his mind is actually about the same as his family.
After Mr. Song finished speaking, he stood up and walked over to the desk and picked up the phone. Although he also has a mobile phone, he still prefers to use a landline at home. This is a habit of working for many years.
"Zhi Lan, come back to eat together at night!" Old Song said directly after the call was connected, "If he flies over to visit me, he is also eating dinner here, so you will turn off any entertainment you have and be sure to come back tonight... By the way, Xiao Rui will come here too. Ruo Fei has agreed with him that you will bring him over when you get off work! That's it!"
After speaking, Song Lao directly hung up.
At home, Song Lao is actually quite strong. Song Rui is so afraid of him for no reason. In fact, Song Rui often complains to Xia Ruofei, saying that Xia Ruofei is more like Song Lao's grandson, and he seems to be adopted. of……
After Song Lao finished the phone call, Xia Ruofei had already made tea, and the tea was poured into the tea cup, and the smell of tea suddenly overflowed in the study.
Old Song took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a smile: "The tea is good, and the craftsmanship of making tea is good! Ruofei, the same tea, I can't make such a natural feeling!"
In fact, Xia Ruofei has not specially practiced the tea ceremony, but after a long time of cultivation, he will become closer to nature, especially Xia Ruofei's spiritual power has even reached the spiritual state, so his every move seems to have a special rhythm , Which fits the natural avenue of heaven and earth, even when making tea, it will inadvertently incorporate this artistic conception into the tea.
Ordinary people may not be able to make a difference, but a tea tasting expert like Song Lao can still detect that extraordinary place for the first time.
"Drink more if you like." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
The two chatted while making tea in the study. Song Lao didn't care too much about Xia Ruofei's company, and Xia Ruofei was not interested in political matters, so the topics of the two of them were the parents' short talk. At this time, Song Lao appeared Very relaxed, no different from the neighbor's old man who cares about gossip.
The sky outside gradually dimmed. Song Zhilan and Song Rui also returned to the Song family’s old house at this time—in fact, they both got off work half an hour earlier today and left the company before the peak period, otherwise they would definitely be there now. The road is so blocked.
As soon as the two arrived home, they exchanged a few words with Xia Ruofei, and Director Lu came to inform that the restaurant was ready for food.
So, Mr. Song happily greeted everyone to go to dinner and talk about anything at the dinner table.
