After hearing this, Li Rui wondered in his heart, how could he be tired when he took a plane? He was afraid enough, and he was even more uncomfortable than being tired. There was a sudden movement in his heart, could it be that the boss meant to secretly laugh at himself for being too scared during the flight?

He closed the door, returned to the house, opened the suitcase, and took out a copy of the local products he had purchased, including: a gift box of five-color dried fruits, a gift box of wild honey, a silkworm sand pillow, and one of the specialties of Qingyang City: copper engravings.

He put these gifts on the TV cabinet and said to Xu Xinyi: "Miss Xu, this is a local specialty that we brought from Qingyang this time. A few small things, not a tribute, I hope you don't dislike it. Xu Xinyi came over when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Do you still have my gifts?" Li Rui introduced her one by one, she nodded again and again, and finally asked, "This is what your boss meant?" Li Rui was a little embarrassed when he heard this, thinking that she gave herself such a precious silver key pendant last time, and she came to Shanghai this time, but she still had to rely on the gift bought by the boss to give her, she was very ashamed, thought about it, turned around and walked to her briefcase, groped in it for a while, and took out the bracelet that the boss gave when she bought the lapis lazuli ornament of the fish dragon.

This bracelet is also in a box, the box is an ordinary paper shell, it looks relatively cold, but fortunately, the pattern on the surface of the box is quite simple. At first glance, you can also get your hands on it.

Li Rui walked up to Xu Xinyi with the box, handed it over, and pretended to be hearty and said: "You're right, these souvenirs are my boss's intention, but this is my own intention." Xu Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, "What do you mean? Are you still interesting?" After speaking, she took the box, and as soon as she opened the lid of the box, a blue light flashed from her snow-white cheeks, and at the same time, she also opened her lips and said in surprise: "It's so beautiful!"

Li Rui was secretly happy, and said in his heart that you think it's good, otherwise, I'm really embarrassed to give it away.

In fact, the price of this bracelet is not very expensive, and when it was placed in that jade shop, the price posted on it was more than 1,200. There is also water in it for customers to bargain, but it can also be said to be a valuable gift. Li Rui felt in his heart that the price should be comparable to her silver key pendant.

Xu Xinyi took out the jade bracelet from the box, looked at it carefully for a while, fumbled for a while, and then put it on the cream-like snow-white wrist, and sighed lightly: "It's so beautiful, what kind of jade bracelet is this?" Li Rui said: "Lapis lazuli, uh, although this gemstone is not particularly famous, it is very popular with the royal family in the Ming and Qing dynasties." The roof of the Temple of Heaven is made of lapis lazuli. ”

These words were all said by the owner of the jade shop, and he took them over and relayed them to Xu Xinyi at this time, consciously raising the grade of this bracelet a lot.

Xu Xinyi suddenly realized and said, "I have been to the Temple of Heaven, and the top is indeed this color." Tsk, you really have the heart to prepare such a precious gift for me. After speaking, he looked at him with a smile. Li Rui smiled on his face, and secretly said ashamed in his heart, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper who would have done business and gave him this jade bracelet, how could he have a gift for her?

Xu Xinyi put the bracelet in the box, held it solemnly with both hands, and said, "I accepted what you wanted, what your boss meant, hehe, I don't want it." Li Rui was taken aback and said, "Then how can you do it? You have to keep it, this is a part of my boss's heart." Xu Xinyi said with a smile: "No merit, I don't have any credit, but I said bad things about you Qingyang in front of Mr. Zheng." It's good that your boss doesn't hate me, and he gives me a gift? After speaking, he grinned and said, "As for your gift, it is a private exchange between the two of us as friends, and it has nothing to do with official affairs, so I will accept it with a cheeky face." Li Rui said: "That's not good, I brought it all the way over, you don't want it." Do you want me to fly back to Qingyang?"

Xu Xinyi smiled: "You gave it to us Mr. Zheng." Li Rui said: "If you have him, you can keep it, this is for you." Even if the investment fails, our friends still have affection, what can't you accept?" Xu Xinyi just shook her head. Li Rui had an idea and said, "That's it, if you don't accept this souvenir, then you will also accept my gift." Xu Xinyi was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Why?" Li Rui said: "If you don't give me face as a friend, then we won't be friends." If you don't be friends anymore, why should I give you a gift?" Xu Xinyi frowned and smiled: "But these things are too many and too heavy, I can't hold them." Li Rui said: "It's a big deal, I'll send it to your home, and I'll carry it for you." Xu Xinyi made a worried look when she heard this, puffing out her cheeks and pouting her red lips to play coquettish with him. Li Rui saw her little daughter's attitude in his eyes, and secretly praised it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Do you want it?" Xu Xinyi sighed faintly and said, "I have never seen such a scoundrel as you." Okay, I took it. But, hmph, if you really want to send me home, I don't have the strength to take it. Li Rui couldn't help but say: "I can't imagine that the beautiful assistant to the senior manager of the world's largest pharmaceutical company, who is heroic, talkative, and business-oriented, has also been coquettish." ”

When Xu Xinyi heard this, she glanced at him, but her face turned red inexplicably, and she snorted: "You are really lifting me up, how can I be as powerful as you say, like a strong woman, I am just a part-time worker." Li Rui said sincerely: "You are a strong woman in my heart." Xu Xinyi said: "Then do you know, what image do you have in my heart?" Li Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "What image?" Xu Xinyi smiled: "You, a government official who is the least like a government official." Li Rui smiled bitterly: "Where am I not like?" Xu Xinyi said: "You just don't look like it!" After speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "I can't tell you, I still have some things, I have to go out for a while first, and I'll talk about it later." After saying that, he walked away. Li Rui hurriedly asked: "Then are you still here during the meal?" Xu Xinyi looked back and smiled: "Come, you gave me so many gifts, why do I have to toast you with a glass of water and wine, hehe." After saying that, he squeezed his eyes, opened the door and went out.

Her eye-squeezing expression is both cute and charming, and her beautiful and unparalleled face is really fascinating!

Li Rui was stunned when he saw it, and only after she left did he show a happy expression.

At six o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began.

Song Chaoyang sat high on the chairman, on the right hand side was Sun Shuqin's mother and daughter, and on the left hand side was Zheng Haimin, an old classmate. Zheng Haimin's next head is his assistant Xu Xinyi, and Song Xue's next head is Li Rui. Li Rui and Xu Xinyi are exactly opposite, and the distance is also the closest.

Li Rui likes this delicate and noble female assistant very much, and occasionally glances at her. Xu Xinyi usually doesn't look at him, and only occasionally glances at him. Whenever this happens, she quickly turns her face away or lowers her head, and an inexplicable smile appears on the corner of her mouth.

Zheng Haimin is a slightly fat, medium-sized man, with the face of a popular son-in-law, just like the famous film and television actor Guo Tao, who always has a smile on his face, harmless to others, and it is easy for people to have a good impression of him. In fact, this vice president is bold and magnificent, and he is informal, just saying a few words to Song Chaoyang, an old classmate, made Li Rui respect him.

Before the banquet began, Zheng Haimin had already made a promise, don't look at the investment environment in Qingyang City is not very perfect, but in order to take care of his old classmates, he will also build a pharmaceutical factory there. This promise immediately raised the atmosphere of the banquet, and it has never been lowered since.

During the banquet, Li Rui and Xu Xinyi, as the subordinates of the two bigwigs, poured wine and toasted the other bosses from time to time. The two naturally saluted each other, and the two also toasted twice.

Xu Xinyi was overwhelmed with alcohol, and she never drank it again after two glasses, Rao was like this, and she was already red on her face, under the reflection of the lights in the private room, her face was radiant and beautiful, so that Li Rui, who was sitting opposite her, feasted her eyes, and even had no intention of dining.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already half past eight. Song Chaoyang asked Li Rui to send the gift he had prepared for Zheng Haimin. Li Rui put the ornament of the fish into a dragon in the briefcase early in the morning and brought it over, got up when he heard the words, took the briefcase, took out the ornament with the base, and held it in both hands and sent it to Zheng Haimin.

Zheng Haimin was full of praise when he saw it, and praised it again and again. Li Rui had to take the opportunity to popularize the origin of lapis lazuli for him. Zheng Haimin was surprised when he heard that the Temple of Heaven in Beijing was paved with this kind of jade, and he cherished this treasure even more.

After leaving the private room, Li Rui stuffed the remaining two souvenirs into the trunk of Zheng Haimin's car according to Song Chaoyang's instructions.

After Zheng Haimin left, Xu Xinyi said coquettishly to Li Rui: "Hey, did you bring my share to the car? I really don't have the strength, and I drank too much wine and walked a little dizzy." Li Rui smiled: "Willing to serve the beauty." Xu Xinyi smiled and said, "Then why don't you go quickly?"

Li Rui returned to the hotel room, brought the gifts downstairs to the parking lot, put them in the trunk for Xu Xinyi, and asked with some concern: "You are drinking, can you still drive?" Xu Xinyi didn't know why, deliberately raised the bar with him, and said: "I can't drive, can you drive it for me?" Li Rui smiled bitterly: "I also drink, and it would be a death to meet the traffic police." Xu Xinyi snorted: "That's amazing." What nonsense. Li Rui sighed secretly, and said in his heart, beauty, I care about you, why do you treat me as a donkey's liver and lungs?

Xu Xinyi took out the car keys and was just about to get into the car, when she suddenly turned around and asked, "Hey, how many days will you stay in Shanghai?" Li Rui said: "If there is no accident, I will leave tomorrow afternoon." ”
