After dinner, filming continued, and at two o'clock, Bai Lu said hello to Mingchen and took the phone to the lounge.

The lounge is simply furnished, with a double bed, a table, and two sofas. Bai Lu sat on the sofa, found the phone number sent by Gao Yuan, remembered it and began to dial.

Soon the phone was connected, and a calm male voice said, "Hey." ”

Bai Lu asked: "Is it Secretary Liu?" I am Bai Lu, Bai Lu of the Five-Star Hotel. ”

The other end of the phone smiled: "I know you, but how do you make this call?"

"Huh?" Bai Lu asked, "How many phone numbers do you have?"

Liu Xiangqian smiled: "Say, what's the matter?"

Bai Lu didn't hide it, and directly said what he thought in his heart: "Secretary Liu, if you want to trouble you, I want to know how Sun Wangbei will judge." ”

Liu Xiangqian was silent for a while and asked, "His case, why did you remember to ask me?"

Bai Lu didn't answer.

Liu Xiangqian smiled: "Where are you?"

"What?" asked Bai Lu.

"If it's convenient, can you come over?" ”

Bai Lu said, "I'll go over now, and I'll wait for your call in an hour and a half." ”

"Good. Liu Xiangqian hung up the phone.

There are many secretaries around the prime minister, and Liu Xiangqian can be regarded as the first secretary, mainly because of different responsibilities, such as organic secretary, life secretary, etc.

Liu Xiangqian's leader is Fu Zetao, and what he does must be considered by the boss. If the boss is good, he can be good. Just as far as Sun Wangbei is concerned. Even if Liu Xiangqian didn't know the inside story, he knew why he was arrested, and he knew that the nature was very strict, and such a thing was not something that Fu Zetao could participate in at all.

That's right, Lao Fu is the vice premier, but there are a lot of leaders in front of him, which one is not heavier than him?

If there is a distinction between good and evil, Sun Wangbei's arrest is to suppress evil, who will speak for evil at such a time? It is inevitable that Liu Xiangqian has the intention of pushing away this matter.

Bai Lu hung up the phone and sat in the room for a while, and then went to ask Mingchen for leave.

Mingchen didn't know what to say: "You just came for a long time......"

Li Sen was also surprised to look at Bai Lu. Wait for Mingchen to stop talking. Only then did he answer: "The remaining days are almost all your ...... plays" stopped halfway, and he didn't know how to persuade this uncle.

Bai Lu said: "Shoot other people's scenes first, I'm really in trouble." He shook the two of them back and forth a few times with his hands folded, and his expression was very sincere. Then turn around and go out the door.

He's going to National Boulevard. Take a taxi to the subway station first. Then change to the subway.

As soon as he got out of the subway station, Liu Xiangqian called and said that he would see him in a tea room behind the National Center for the Performing Arts in 15 minutes. Bai Lu hurriedly took a taxi. When I got out of the car, I happened to see Liu Xiangqian.

Liu Xiangqian also noticed him, smiled and waited for a while, waiting for Bai Lu to come before pushing the door in.

It seems that Liu Xiangqian doesn't come here often, and the waiter doesn't know him at all.

Liu Xiangqian asked for a private room, and the waiter took them upstairs and asked what kind of tea they ordered and what kind of service they needed. Liu Xiangqian said: "The cheapest black tea is a pot, and nothing else is needed." ”

The waiter said, "Sorry sir, there is a minimum ...... for private rooms."

"Then put things on the minimum consumption, hurry. Liu Xiangqian said.

The waiter said hello and went down to prepare tea.

The private room is antique, with calligraphy characters dancing on the wall, old-style bamboo curtains hanging on the windows, and tables and chairs that look mahogany. Liu looked left and right forward, and said casually, "Please." ”

Bai Lu smiled: "Not really." ”

Liu Xiangqian is less than forty years old, very thin, ordinary-looking, ordinary-dressed, and in Gu Long's novels, he is the kind of ordinary person who can't be found when he throws it on the street. But such an ordinary person is the object of countless dignitaries and nobles who want to befriend.

Hearing Bai Lu say no, he nodded and said, "Very much." ”

The two of them first said a few words that were not nutritious, and after a while, a waiter brought a full set of tea sets, which seemed to be playing kung fu tea, Liu Xiangqian said: "Don't want these, just take a big teapot for tea, and then have some dried fruits, just make up enough for the private room fee." ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, said good, took away the tea set, and served all kinds of refreshments first, including dried beans, melon seeds, dried bamboo shoots, crispy cakes, etc., and put a small circle of dishes, and there was a purple clay pot and two cups on the side. The waiter said, "Everything is ready, please use it slowly." "Get out of the house and close the door.

Liu Xiangqian poured two cups without waiting for the tea to be brewed, picked up a piece of dried tofu and took a bite, and then spoke: "There are some things, you may have misunderstood." ”

Bai Lu didn't speak, grabbed the melon seeds and peeled them off one by one, and put the melon seeds into a clean small plate.

Liu Xiangqian continued: "You have helped the prime minister, to put it bluntly, the prime minister owes you a personal favor, but this favor is private in nature, under the premise of not breaking the law, not committing a crime, and not violating public morality, the prime minister will repay this favor, but Sun Wangbei can't, he broke the law, and the prime minister can't help with this matter." ”

Bai Lu still didn't speak, and continued to peel melon seeds.

Liu Xiangqian took a sip of tea: "It's really hot." He put down the cup and continued: "Besides, you did let the old man of the prime minister's family go with peace of mind, but in the final analysis, it is just a bowl of soup, and you want the prime minister to repay this bowl of soup at any cost? ”

If the other party is a government cadre, Liu Xiangqian will not say the above two paragraphs, and will try to mention them vaguely. But Bai Lu is different, in order to dispel his bizarre thoughts, he must say very bluntly, directly tell sù that it is impossible for you, and this heart is dead.

After Liu Xiangqian finished speaking, he began to eat, occasionally glancing at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu waited for half a minute and asked, "Finished?"

Liu Xiangqian asked, "What do you want to say?"

Bai Lu smiled: "You also misunderstood, I didn't want you to do things that violate the law and discipline, I just want to know, how will Sun Wangbei be sentenced? When will he be sentenced? If you let Premier Fu help you say something, can you reduce the sentence a little? I don't have high requirements, if I don't die, if I can release it early, it would be the best." ”

Liu Xiangqian smiled: "This is not a high demand?"

Bai Lu said: "Where is this a requirement, at most it is a hope." I hope there will be a good ending. ”

Liu Xiangqian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Go on." ”

Bai Lu continued: "You know about the treatment of the Queen of England last month, right?"

Liu Xiangqian asked, "Do you want to use this matter to offset Sun Wangbei's sins?"

Bai Lu said: "I misunderstood again, there is no thing, we are a new society, not what the emperor of the feudal dynasty said, there is no merit and demerits, you will definitely say so, right?"

Liu Xiangqian nodded: "Go on." ”

"As before, I'm hoping, hoping for a good ending. I solved the problem that Chinese medicine could not solve in the whole country. I saved the patients that couldn't be saved by Chinese medicine in the whole country......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xiangqian: "Don't talk too much, it's just a coincidence, some doctors didn't have a good treatment method at that time, and it can't be said that no one in the whole country can treat the disease." ”

Bai Lu humbly accepted the criticism: "You are right. I was a little arrogant just now. But anyway. You have never given me this honor, nor have you ever paid me this honor, but now what about it? I don't want either remuneration or honor, plus the favor of Prime Minister Fu's bowl of soup, can I give a slight sentence, this is the purpose of my call. ”

After listening to Bai Lu's words, Liu Xiangqian was silent for a long time, thought for a while and said: "Impossible, it is impossible for the prime minister to interfere with the investigation of the case by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he cannot interfere." ”

Bai Lu said: "I have two favors, one for the prime minister and one for the country, you can't not give me no benefits at all." “

Liu Qianqian glanced at him: "The country owes you a favor? Do you really dare to say that it is right to pay for the country, don't you blush when you say this?"

"Definitely not blushing. Bai Lu followed and said: "Isn't it just to investigate the case, there is always an attitude of confession, Sun Wangbei has money, let him hand over all the money, change a good confession attitude, and he can always be locked up for a few years." ”

Liu Xiangqian stopped talking again, thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure you want to help Sun Wangbei?"

Bai Lu nodded.

Liu Xiangqian said: "You have to know one thing, we are a country with a legal system, and whoever should handle the case will be handled by whomever it wants. ”

Bai Lu said, "I understand. ”

Liu Xiangqian said again: "Then let's do it first, you have to make sure that your mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and don't put all the pressure on the prime minister." ”

The last half of the sentence is very skillful, if it is to persuade people, it will say don't put all your hopes on one person, Liu Xiangqian said that it is pressure, it is to sue sù Bailu, you have to work hard, don't you know the people of Lao Gao's family? The Prime Minister cannot be bullied alone.

Bai Lu sighed: "Can't you speak in the vernacular?

Liu looked forward at the time, poured a cup of tea and drank it, ate two more pieces of dried tofu, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Let's go." Shi Shiran left.

Bai Lu sat in the tea room for a while and called Mingchen: "Are you still on the set? I'll go back now." ”

Mingchen said, "Why are you coming back? It's all gone, and Li Sen and I are rushing to your house." ”

"What are you doing at my house?"

"Li Sen was very interested in that tiger movie and wanted to win over the director. ”

"Director, whatever. Bai Lu hung up the phone.

Sit down for a while, think carefully about Sun Wangbei's affairs, find the waiter to settle the account, and ask for a few plastic bags by the way.

The waiters are stupid, they have seen the food packed, but they have never seen the tea packed, look at Bai Lu a few more times, confirm whether this guy is a star or not, and then go to the counter to ask for a plastic bag.

After the account was settled, Bai Lu really poured the pile of refreshments into a plastic bag one by one and carried them out.

As he was walking, Yang Ling called: "I forgot something, there is a ...... I forgot what it was called, it was the sketch you made last time, and I sold 400,000 that sketch, I remembered it, the little girl's surname was Liu, she wanted to pay you back, a few days ago, almost a phone call every day, I have been ignoring her, the little girl is good enough, she can actually find the company's address and come to the door, and now she is waiting at the door, what do you say?"

"Liu Ziyan?" Bai Lu muttered: "What kind of money? That's her painting, and how much money it sells is hers." ”

"The little girl said, you painted it, and sold it without your consent, and sold it for 400,000 yuan, and I have to pay it back to you, after deducting taxes and related handling fees, there are more than 150,000 points left after half of the people, and she wants to give you 140,000 yuan, and said that she will try to pay back the rest of the money slowly after waiting.
