Volume 3 Xilin's Journey Chapter 226 The Dinner at the President's Residence
、、、、、、、
The windows on both sides of the black car fell, and two hands stretched out, holding a Sanqi brand cigarette in their fingers.
Shi Qinghai withdrew his hand and took a deep puff of cigarette, licked his slightly astringent teeth with the tip of his tongue, shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't said thank you to you about the period after Zou Yu became pregnant. ”
"You're welcome, say it's what I'm supposed to do...... It may taste a little weird, but it really didn't take any energy, but it didn't make your old Shi family lose their children and grandchildren, which is worth thanking. Xu Le said mockingly, his hand holding the cigarette on the window, and his empty tail finger and ring finger kept banging on the car body.
Shi Qinghai threw the cigarette butt out the window and replied, "If you can get my marriage done, I will thank you seriously." ”
"Although I also believe in the freedom of marriage, you must know that I am not Justice Ho Ying, and I can not even give Philadelphia face. Xu Le replied with some annoyance: "Her father is the Federal Minister of Defense, what can I do?"
"You have to think about this question yourself, my identity in Qinglong Mountain is too sensitive, if I make too much movement, I am worried that it will have the opposite effect. Shi Qinghai replied shamelessly.
Xu Le took a sip of the last cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt onto the car ashtray and twisted it vigorously, and said: "In the Linhai bar, you have repeated it countless times, you are a bachelor. Why are you so persistent this time? Don't tell me that this is a new assignment that your organization has assigned you. ”
"Rest assured, I never confuse work and life. Shi Qinghai glanced at him and said mockingly: "Not all the people who came out of the four subjects are like your Zhang Xiaomeng." ”
Xu Le, who was shot by this clear arrow, was drenched in blood, and his embarrassed eyes flashed left and right, as if he was looking at the traffic situation on the road, but in fact he was looking at the air.
"In the past year, I have had several contacts with Ms. Zhang Xiaomeng at work, and this woman seems to have changed a lot. Shi Qinghai smiled at his black hair blown by the wind outside the window, and said, "If you want to relive the old dream, I can build a bridge for you." ”
Xu Le was speechless, only silent, and replied after a long time: "One, me and her have passed. Two, if I want to be with her again, I don't need you to do anything, I know how to walk on Parliament Hill. Three, the difficulty of this thing is not equal to what you are going to do now. ”
"Okay, let me explain to you why I want to marry Zou Yu. ”
Shi Qinghai's tone became serious and said, "One, she is my son's mother, and I have lived for almost thirty years, and I only have this one son. Two, she's very pretty, really pretty, and I like to have a beautiful wife. In addition, from the perspective of meritocracy, I married her, and I can provide countless idols for the federal entertainment industry in the future, just like your Jian Shui'er. ”
"Don't always say mine, mine! Whether it's Zhang Xiaomeng or Jian Shui'er, it's all their own. Xu Le stretched out his right hand and warned seriously, "But although your reason is ridiculous, it is indeed very reasonable. ”
Zou Yu's charming but not charming, graceful and quiet face matched the awe-inspiring red clothes, which was very charming, otherwise it would be impossible for the Seventh Young Master of the Li Family and the Philadelphia Madman Li to tie their hearts to him.
Xu Le, who gets along well with her, admits that regardless of the identity of the daughter of the Minister of Defense, she is also the most beautiful woman she knows.
There is no one, only two, and Jian Shui'er is juxtaposed.
"Back to the first thanks, I not only thank you for taking care of their mother and son for me in that paragraph, in fact, I am even more grateful to you for changing some of her surnames. ”
Shi Qinghai lit another cigarette, a trace of pleasure flashed on his handsome face, and said: "If she is still the daughter of the powerful in front of the Thirteen Sect back then, it is really difficult for me to find her cute side, and then give birth to the urge to live a single life just after that, even if we have a son." ”
"In fact, she has always had a very wonderful side in her heart, but it's a pity that she has set the role of the princess since she was a child, she has no self-esteem, but she has more pride, and now she just shows the real and desirable side, which has nothing to do with me. ”
"It's about children, but not as much as you. ”
"Does this sound a little jealous?" Xu Le frowned and asked deliberately.
"Nope. Shi Qinghai laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder, "This is the charm of your surname, it is difficult for you to make people have negative emotions, and all the people who have been with you for a long time seem to be like Zou Yu, who will become more cute." ”
............ Xu Le thought about the comments made by Shi Gongzi in the car, and felt a little ashamed and proud, and this emotion was even maintained until he sat at the dining table in the president's official residence, still making his ink eyebrows higher than those of Ping Yu.
"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, what happy things come to mind? Can you share them with us? Or ...... Would you like to share this plate of mashed potatoes with us at this time? That gentleman seems to be a long time late, and I don't want my handmade food to turn into a plate of ice cubes later. ”
Across the dining table, a lady dressed in pale blue clothes was holding a large bowl of mashed potatoes in her hand, serving it on a precious antique porcelain plate. She looked at Xu Le, who was thoughtful, and asked with a smile.
Xu Le woke up suddenly, handed over the porcelain plate a little nervously, and said, "Madam, I just thought of something interesting. ”
When he returned to the capital region, he refused all the celebration dinners and dinners, including the Fruit Shell Company, but today's banquet could not be pushed away in any way, because it was a private dinner for the family of the President of the Federation, and the lady opposite him was the First Lady of the Federation.
"I think Padelle and I would love to hear interesting things from the front, but let's eat first. The first lady said with a smile.
Xu Le glanced at the silent president daughter beside him, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, thinking of the difficult thing in the Xishan compound, he cleared his throat, smiled and took the porcelain plate, ready to look for an opportunity to have a good chat with this kind first lady who is committed to the rights of female surnames and the freedom of marriage.
Although the presidential residence will be open to the public for a fixed period, the people still retain a strong curiosity and desire to snoop on the life of the first family, but because of the strong protection of citizens' privacy in the First Charter and the obscure requirements of the official residence, no media dares to describe it in detail.
Therefore, the people of the federation can only guess about the normal life of the first family, whether Mr. President will eat Lin Yuan's summer special dishes every day? Is the insect ring used by the dog raised by the first thousand gold really specially developed by the Green Fang Company? Will the pot used by the first lady never get wet?
When he was in Donglin, in the past, Xu Le also had such speculations, of course, now he knows very well that there is nothing special about the dinner at the president's official residence, and the first lady's cooking skills are ...... It seems that she is not as good as herself, at least from the obviously overburnt potato dough rings, you can see that the kitchen utensils she uses are definitely not as high-tech as people think.
The soft light enveloped the quiet table, and Xu Le suppressed the pace of eating to match the president's family, and this was the third time he had been invited into the president's official residence alone to enjoy a dinner cooked by the first lady, but he was still nervous.
No matter how thick his nerves are, he is still just an ordinary person in his bones, this is the president's official residence, and the entire federation lives here, no, it should be said that he is the most powerful person in the entire universe.
Another reason for his nervousness was that he couldn't understand why Mr. President was so close and kind to him, whether it was the incident at the Foundation building, the amnesty matter, and many, many details, such as the dinner party at this time.
This has nothing to do with the Li family in Philadelphia, when Mr. President intended to pardon himself, the old man had not yet entered the Allure Military Prison. This also has nothing to do with Mochou Houshan, you must know that Mrs. Tai has already given up on herself. This has nothing to do with his own merits, when the federal president commends combat heroes, there have always been several rows of handshakes, how can there be such a private banquet...... Warm and surprising treatment?
"I'm sorry I'm late. Mr. President rolled up his sleeves and walked in briskly through the door, with a simple smile on his dark face, and said loudly: "I now finally understand why this job can earn more money every year than when I was a lawyer, because being a president requires more overtime than being a lawyer." ”
Xu Le stood up to greet him, and the three people at the table all laughed.
President Pabul touched the top of his daughter's head dotingly, then motioned for Xu Le to sit down, turned to his wife and smiled and said, "Thank you for preparing my favorite sperm mashed potatoes, but our young hero has just returned from the front line, and he should need a few fried high-fat meat cubes the most." ”
When the first lady smiled and was about to say something, Xu Le hurriedly replied: "Mr. President......"
He thought of those protein synthetic meats that were from snacks to large, and the fiber was terrible, and after frowning slightly, he hesitated and said, "On 5460...... The troops were well fed, and we ate a lot of game in the forest, which tasted good. ”
President Pabul was stunned, then laughed and said, "I didn't hear that, because I didn't want the people of the HTD Bureau to accuse our valiant fighters. ”
The president's daughter, who was sitting next to Xu Le, looked at him curiously, and asked very slowly, "Okay...... Eat?"
"Well, you also know that it is an enemy-occupied area, and in a legal sense, it is a temporary blank area. Xu Le replied with some embarrassment.
President Pabur picked out a sauce mixed in mashed potatoes with a silver spoon with the imperial logo, shook his head with satisfaction after taking a large bite, then looked up at him and smiled, saying, "There are no more enemy-occupied areas." ”
Xu Le replied with a smile: "Yes, Mr. President." ”
President Pabur smiled and said, "Admiral Hong Yuliang has just delivered another good news, the Federation fleet has successfully set up an ambush in the barren star field outside Xilin, and the group of expeditionary fleets that the empire set out six years ago have all been wiped out. ”
Xu Le looked at Mr. President in surprise, if this news is true, then the Federation's military operation in Xilin has really come to a successful end.
