Song Rui's table was closest to the door, and the people sitting with him were naturally young people, among them, several of whom had eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to Song Rui, should be his uncles and brothers and sisters, and a few were probably the sons and nephews brought by the leaders that Xia Ruofei saw just now.

These young people naturally did not cause Xia Ruofei's surprise, the reason why he was stunned for a moment was because he saw Lu You sitting next to Song Rui.

Xia Ruofei didn't expect to meet Lu You here, but after thinking about it, he understood - Tian Huilan hopes to form a family with Song Zhengping, although now they no longer force Lu You to associate with Song Rui, but on occasions like Song Lao's birthday, Tian Huilan will definitely call Lu You over, which can increase Lu You's understanding and communication with Song Rui a little bit!

Song Rui felt uncomfortable sitting next to Lu You, and when he saw Xia Ruofei coming in, his eyes rolled a few times, and he got up and beckoned: "Ruofei, come and sit here!"

Then he gently pushed the young man next to him and said, "Song Wei, move a seat to the side......"

There happened to be a vacant seat next to this young man named Song Wei, he thought that Song Rui wanted to sit with Xia Ruofei, so he quickly got up and moved to the side - Song Rui is the eldest brother of the long house, and he is still very prestigious among the younger generation.

What Song Wei didn't expect was that after he gave up his seat, Song Rui also moved one place to this side and sat on the seat he was sitting on just now.

In this way, between Song Rui and Lu You, a seat is vacated.

Song Rui smiled and pointed to this seat, and said, "Ruofei, what are you doing in a daze? Come and sit down!"

Xia Ruofei glanced at Song Rui a little speechlessly, he was naturally clear about the little Jiujiu in Song Rui's heart, but he didn't hesitate or shirk much, and strode over and sat down.

The young people at this table were all stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

Everyone in their circle knows that Song Zhengping hopes to marry Tian Huilan, in their opinion, as long as the elders have the intention of this aspect, then Song Rui and Lu You will definitely become husband and wife in the end, whether the two of them are willing or not, like it or not, the result will not change.

In fact, they themselves are the same, marriage is to serve the family, serve politics, and has nothing to do with feelings, they can raise ten or eight lovers outside, or they can drink all day long, and even their wives may have a little white face outside, but the superficial relationship must be maintained.

So it's normal for Song Rui and Lu You to sit together.

Now Song Rui gave up his seat to this somewhat faceless "Ruofei", and this young man really sat down without humbly refusing to excuse himself, and was sandwiched between Song Rui and Lu You, the combination of these three people felt weird no matter how you looked at it.

After Xia Ruofei sat down, he turned his head and smiled at Lu You, and said, "It's been a long time!

Lu You took a sip of red wine from his wine glass, and said lightly: "I'm just an ordinary student, don't I just do experiments and write papers in class every day!

The young people at this table couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their faces were full of incredulity.

After Xia Ruofei sat down, he didn't talk to Song Rui, but went to greet Lu You first, which seemed to everyone to be an act of openly prying the corner!

In fact, these young people don't know that the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Song Rui is so iron, where do they need to be polite? On the contrary, Lu You has indeed not been in touch for a long time, and Tian Huilan said before going to Beijing to help take care of Lu You, but the lazy Xia Ruofei has almost no contact with Lu You, so he is a little uneasy in his heart, plus he and Lu You are also good friends, it is normal to not see each other for so long.

If Xia Ruofei's blatant behavior of "prying the corner" shocked these young people, then Lu Youfei's reaction shocked them even more.

Everyone in the circle knows that Lu You's temperament is very cold, and he has always been unapologetic to the opposite sex, but although Lu You spoke to Xia Ruofei in a cold tone just now, he said so many words, and it seemed that the two were still very familiar, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Xia Ruofei ignored the strange gazes of those young people, and said to Lu You with a smile: "My little business, what kind of big boss is it......!

Lu You's beautiful eyes revealed a faint smile, glanced at Xia Ruofei and said, "Anyway, you are much richer than me......"

Lu You's cold shell seemed to have melted a lot in front of Xia Ruofei, in fact, after being rescued by Xia Ruofei after that bar distress, Lu You's feeling for Xia Ruofei was very different from before, that time Lu You vomited after being rescued home by Xia Ruofei, and he was drunk, and even the underwear was changed by Xia Ruofei, every time he thought that this man had seen his body, Lu You's heart would always have a strange feeling.

Today, Lu You didn't know that Xia Ruofei would also come to the birthday banquet, so the moment she saw Xia Ruofei walking into the south room, her eyes couldn't help but have a hint of surprise, but everyone's attention was on Xia Ruofei, and no one noticed.

Seeing Xia Ruofei sit down, he didn't greet everyone, but chatted very hotly with Lu You, Song Rui's marriage partner, and several young people at this table suddenly felt a little tired.

One of the young men in an Armani shirt with oily hair glanced at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Dude, it looks a little eye-catching!

Xia Ruofei glanced at him lightly, smiled and said, "My name is Xia Ruofei." ”

"Xia?" the young man said to himself, "It seems that no leader surnamed Xia has been transferred to work in the capital recently...... Could it be that it is local? Which province has a leader surnamed Xia? Brothers, think about it together, this guy is quite mysterious!"

Song Rui couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and he said: "Liu Jian, don't think about it, you can't guess it even if you guess it for a lifetime! Ruofei's parents are no longer there......

The young man named Liu Jian couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Brother Ruofei's grandfather is ......?"

Song Rui's words made Liu Jian misunderstand all of a sudden-since his parents are gone, and he can be so familiar with Song Rui, it is probably because his grandfather has a very prominent status.

Coincidentally, there is really an old chief surnamed Xia, whose position before retirement was slightly lower than that of Song Lao, but he is definitely a heavyweight leader, and this Xia chief really has a son who died of illness in his forties.

So as soon as Song Rui said that, Liu Jian suddenly thought of this Xia chief.

Not only did Liu Jian misunderstand, but many young people at this table also thought that Xia Ruofei was the grandson of Chief Xia, and they immediately put away their contempt.

Song Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys...... Let me tell you! Ruofei has nothing to do with Xia Mingjun's grandfather, so don't guess, Ruofei is not a ...... in our circle."

"Huh?" Liu Jian couldn't help but cried out.

Song Rui made it very clear that Xia Ruofei was not in their circle, and just now he said that Xia Ruofei's parents are no longer alive, so the possibility of sitting at the same table with them by virtue of his parents' status does not exist.

In other words, Xia Ruofei may be a pure grassroots class.

But he was able to come to Song Lao's birthday banquet, and even Song Rui, the third-generation head of the Song family, was so familiar with him, all this seemed so incredible, but it really happened in front of them.

Liu Jian smiled dryly, looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Dude, don't sell it to us, tell me what you do...... The big guys are very curious!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Liu Shao, I have been a soldier for a few years, and after I retired from the army, I opened a small company in Southeast Province. ”

Liu Jian was still listening, but found that Xia Ruofei closed his mouth after saying this.

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's gone?"

Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "That's all......"

"Okay!" Liu Jian nodded helplessly, then exchanged glances with a few young people around him, and stopped pestering Xia Ruofei to ask.

However, they inevitably felt a little disappreciative of Xia Ruofei in their hearts, although Xia Ruofei looked a little mysterious, but through Liu Jian's temptation just now, they also knew that Xia Ruofei should have no background, maybe he had a good relationship with Song Rui, so it was the right time for him.

Although Song Rui's good friends came to attend Song Lao's birthday banquet, it seemed a little unreasonable, but these people didn't think about it - these young children of the family have formed a habit when interacting with people, that is, comparing the status of the elders of the other family, basically their status in the circle is directly proportional to the status of their father's rank.

So when it was basically confirmed that Xia Ruofei was not the child of a big leader, they lost interest in Xia Ruofei.

However, a young man in a Tang costume sitting next to Song Wei listened to Xia Ruofei's introduction, and his eyes lit up slightly.

He said that he was a "young man", but this dark-skinned, green stubble on his face still looked a little old.

He grinned at Xia Ruofei and said boldly, "Brother has also been a soldier!

Song Rui said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, this is Brother Zhao Yongjun Zhao, and his father is Uncle Zhao Cheng of the Beijing Military Region! He was also a soldier before. ”

Zhao Yongjun smiled and said: "My father wants my son to inherit his father's business, but unfortunately I am not that material, and I will be discharged from the army after five years of being a soldier!"

Xia Ruofei already had a natural affection for being a soldier, plus he had treated Zhao Cheng for diabetes before, and he also received an unexpected surprise in Zhao Cheng's house - obtaining a boundary stone, so he naturally felt closer to Zhao Yongjun than other young people.

Xia Ruofei smiled at Zhao Yongjun and said, "Then I have to call Brother Zhao's old squad leader!

"Haha! no problem!" Zhao Yongjun said boldly.

Xia Ruofei has a close relationship with the Song family, but most of the children of the third generation of the Song family have not yet set foot in the core decision-making level of the family, and Song Rui is the only one who knows the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Song Lao.

As for the younger generations brought by those leading comrades outside the Song family, it is naturally impossible to understand the relationship between Xia Ruofei and the Song family.

Even Zhao Yongjun didn't know that Xia Ruofei cured his father's diabetes and saved his father's career.

Therefore, the young people at this table, including some children of the Song family, felt a little dissatisfied when they saw Zhao Yongjun chatting hotly with a grassroots small boss.

They were chatting with each other, and their attitudes towards Xia Ruofei were a little lukewarm.

And the topics of these gentlemen are nothing more than luxury cars, women, and the like, and Xia Ruofei is not interested, so he takes a glass of red wine and takes a sip from time to time, and chats with Song Rui and Lu You.

It didn't take long for a sound of footsteps to come, and everyone looked up, only to see a group of people surrounding Song Lao into this small banquet hall.

The people who came in were all the elders of the young people at this table, and among them was Song Lao, who was extremely prominent and detached, so everyone immediately stopped chatting, and the other tables were the same, and the banquet hall was quiet all of a sudden.

The birthday star Song Lao is in a very good mood, he is usually more serious and has a smile on his face today, and after walking to the main seat, he said: "Thank you for the care and blessings of the Central Committee-Leader, and thank you Director Zhang for being there in person!"

A slightly bowed leader at the main table hurriedly said: "The chief is polite, originally the Central Committee-Leader-Leader-Tongzhi was going to come in person, but you always greeted me two months in advance, so you sent me as a representative." I wish the old chief a blessing like the East China Sea and Shoubi Nanshan!"

This Director Zhang is the director of the Central Committee's Office, a real deputy state-level leader, and this is the chief steward of the Central Committee, so his appearance naturally represents an attitude of the current leadership team.

The people of the Song family are very excited and proud in their hearts, as long as Song Lao is healthy and alive, then the Song family will definitely be able to prosper, and the leaders who are close to the Song family who are here to congratulate today are naturally more firm in their positions.

Song Lao said with a smile: "Director Zhang is polite, please sit down!"

Then he looked around for another week, and then said: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday with this old man, everyone here today is my own family, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just eat and drink well......

Speaking of this, Song Lao's gaze stopped on Xia Ruofei, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, why did you run to Xiao Rui's table? Come here, come and sit with us!"

As soon as Song Lao's words fell, the audience suddenly fell silent, and the young people at Xia Ruofei's table invariably opened their mouths wide, looking at Xia Ruofei with a shocked face, one by one.
