Jagged City - Chapter 160 A Pair of Treasures

Lin Tao is very concerned about Liu Ming's progress. This major transportation project is an important infrastructure construction for Xiliang's economic development. It cannot be missed. He is very happy to hear that Liu Ming has developed some relationships with Ge Hong from the Infrastructure Department, but this is just a good idea. At the beginning, success can only be achieved if the special funds are brought back to Xiliang, so Lin Tao told Liu Ming a few more words. 【@】

In fact, Lin Tao is currently in the Northwest Army compound, and he has to come back every weekend, and today is no exception.Lin Tao called Zhao Sifang and invited Zhao Sifang and Xiang Xiaofen to dinner at noon.Zhao Sifang readily agreed.

Zhao Sifang and his wife came here with their children. The little guy was very interested in Lin Tao's two babies. He lay on the cradle and looked left and right. He stretched out his hand to touch, but he was a little scared.It made a few people laugh.

"Auntie, brother, why don't sisters talk?" Xiao Runting asked innocently.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "They are still young, they will be able to talk in a few months, and they will be able to play with you in a few years."

"How many more years? It's too long!" Run Ting sighed like a little adult.

Several people were once again amused by the little guy's expression.Xiao Xiao couldn't help kissing the little guy, the little guy's face was still red, a little embarrassed.Amidst the laughter of several people, they ran out of the nursery.

"Brother, are you still used to living here?"

"Very good!" Lin Tao laughed.

Xiang Xiaofen smiled and said: "It would be great if you were transferred to the provincial capital, so you don't have to run back and forth every day. Also, with a beautiful lady like Xiao Xiao at home, you will definitely not feel tired."

Lin Tao watched Xiao Xiao's face turn red when Xiang Xiaofen said it, and couldn't help laughing: "I can only come back on weekends. I don't usually have time. There are many things in Xiliang. I am worried recently. Xiliang's big traffic The project needs start-up funds, and I don’t know the leaders of the Transportation Department, so it’s too difficult to get special funds. I also want to ask if you two know anyone, so I can introduce them to you.”

Lin Tao was making use of the topic and was outspoken. Zhao Sifang didn't take it seriously, and said enthusiastically, "I know a few people from the government, but I really don't know the people from the Communications Department. Let me ask you."

"Wait a minute, you are also an older brother, and you don't care about Lin Tao's affairs. How about this, why don't we invite some friends we know to let Lin Tao get to know him, so it will be convenient for us to do things in the future?" Xiang Xiaofen said.

"Tsk tsk, my wife is smarter." Zhao Sifang said with his arms around Xiang Xiaofen.Xiang Xiaofen rolled his eyes at him.

"Brother Zhao, let's make an appointment tomorrow night at the Shangri-La Hotel. I'll rent a small banquet hall for a cocktail party." Lin Tao is of course happy to meet some new friends, especially since it will be more convenient for him to do business in the provincial capital in the future.It wouldn't be like now, where I don't know anyone, and I can't even find a way to the traffic hall.

"It's not bad to have a couple's banquet, but brother, you have to spend money." Zhao Sifang laughed.

"I can't spend money, Xiao Xiao holds all the financial power!"

"Hmph, that's nice to say, don't think I don't know you have a small treasury!" Xiao Xiao snorted coldly.

Xiang Xiaofen interjected: "A man must not be allowed to have a small coffers. Sister Xiao Xiao has to be careful."

The two men looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Lin Tao called Fang Liang and asked Fang Liang to book a banquet hall.Soon Fang Liang got things done, it was a small banquet hall for 50 people.

After lunch.

Zhao Sifang started calling, not shy about Lin Tao and his wife, and made seven or eight calls in a row.Those who are younger than him are basically these few sentences.

"Brother will introduce you to a good brother tomorrow. You must come, Shangri-La, and bring your daughter-in-law—the daughter-in-law is not here, and the secretary is fine. You have to bring a female companion for the cocktail party. By the way, there are directors and deputy directors who know the traffic department." No, invite someone you know to come over—nonsense, get a section chief to come over, and I will slap you!"

If he was older than Zhao Sifang, Zhao Sifang's tone would not be as sharp as before, and he would have the attitude of a younger brother.

"Brother—it's me, Sifang!—I miss you, sister-in-law, how are you—hehe, I have a good brother who I want to introduce to you. Are you free at seven o'clock tomorrow night? Shangri-La—— I'll be waiting in the hall, see you soon."

"Sister-in-law, let's call out any good friends you have. You two treat me, and I will pay for it." Lin Tao laughed.

"Brother is so generous, do you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on Sister Xiao Xiao, and purposely make Sister Xiao Xiao lose money?" Xiang Xiaofen still did not forget to provoke dissension, Lin Tao did not dare to retaliate, and looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile.

Of course Xiao Xiao would like her husband Lin Tao to know more friends, patted Xiang Xiaofen on the shoulder and said solemnly: "It's okay, your sister and I are still wealthy, and you can't eat me poorly."

"By the way, brother, you will wear the rank of major general tomorrow, and then you will give my brother a face, otherwise, brother, I will not be able to hold back the scene!" Zhao Sifang is at the regimental level, two full levels behind Lin Tao , and Lin Tao is still a major general, the gap is not usually small!

Lin Tao smiled wryly: "Brother Zhao, this is inappropriate, am I the deputy mayor after all?"

Zhao Sifang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's absolutely suitable, you listened to me right, when the time comes, there will be two in the army. Hehe——"

Zhao Sifang suddenly laughed sinisterly. Lin Tao didn't know what he was up to, but Xiang Xiaofen knew, and laughed along with her husband. The two laughed like foxes, which made Lin Tao a little nervous.

At six o'clock the next night, Lin Tao and Xiao Xiao arrived at the banquet hall and checked that the layout was very good. The golden crystal lamps, wall lamps, and various food utensils on the dining table all reflected golden light. Very beautiful.It feels refreshing, and it feels more tasteful than Chinese food. If seven or eight people sit around and eat together, this effect will definitely not be achieved.This banquet arrangement also shows the identity of the host.Next to the banquet hall, there are dressing rooms and lounges, which are fully functional.But Lin Tao still rented two suites upstairs.in case for need.

Lin Tao and his wife didn't change their clothes when they came, but brought them to the hotel to change, so as not to be too ostentatious.Although they are old couples, Xiao Xiao still changes clothes inside by herself and locks Lin Tao outside.Xiao Xiao was afraid that Lin Tao would mess up her hair on the spur of the moment, so she acted like a burglar, making Lin Tao dumbfounded, and shouted at the door: "As for what, why did I look like a pervert."

"You're a pervert—come in and put the necklace on for me."

"Right away!" Lin Tao rushed in immediately, and Xiao Xiao suddenly showed an expression that you are not a pervert, but who is.

Lin Tao said with a sneer: "You put on clothes very fast, and I still want to help you?"

"Hurry up, it's time for the guests to come later." Xiao Xiao said angrily, at the moment Xiao Xiao was still wearing the night charm evening dress from before, embellished with diamonds.Lin Tao looked at his wife's slender and tender neck and couldn't help touching it and said, "It's really white!"

Xiao Xiao's ears turned red, it's strange to say that both of them have children, sometimes they act like little lovers.Xiao Xiaobuyi said: "You guy really can't believe it, hurry up!"

Lin Tao put on the sapphire necklace for Xiao Xiao. With Xiao Xiao's bare shoulders, fair back, and slightly exposed white cleavage, he swallowed and said, "Wife, you are dressed like this, and you are invited to dance by others. I ate tofu. Then I’m not at a loss.”

"Cut, feudalism, my clothes are not revealing, but I only show a little shoulder, but who makes me so attractive, even if I show my toes, those stupid men will shine their eyes, hehe, if you keep dancing with me No one would have a chance." Xiao Xiao was very proud of her beauty, especially when she saw Lin Tao's delicious food, she felt happy physically and mentally.

"No, no, with such eyes, you must never look at other people. My wife, you still don't know. After you are nourished by me, your frown and smile can seduce people. If you wink at other people, be sure He made a fool of himself on the spot. They don't have my concentration." Lin Tao couldn't help but feel lust in his heart when he saw Xiao Xiao's playful way of raising her skirt, raising her leg, and flirting with her.Xiao Xiao's skin is crystal clear now, every move is full of temptation, and the lethality is absolutely unimaginable.

"Dirty, why are you nourishing, is this lady naturally beautiful?" Xiao Xiao kicked Lin Tao shamefully and angrily, and then looked in the mirror, feeling that she was beautiful.

Lin Tao put on the Major General's uniform and went to Xiao Xiao's side and said, "Let's go, don't be so pretentious, Brother Sifang is about to arrive."

Xiao Xiao took her husband who was wearing a military uniform and looked in the mirror, she really looked like a man and a woman.

When Xiao Xiao and Lin Tao reappeared in the banquet hall, the waiter's gaze focused on them.Xiao Xiao's all-powerful demeanor immediately fascinated these people, and she absolutely took all men and women.

"Mayor Lin—" Manager Wang shouted a little uncertainly.Manager Wang couldn't believe how Mayor Lin became a general in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, is Manager Wang ready? The guests should arrive later." Lin Tao asked.

"It's ready, absolutely no problem." Manager Wang said respectfully.

"Well, very good. After the banquet starts, if the guests need anything, we must serve it well."

"Definitely, definitely." Manager Wang nodded hastily. Although Manager Wang has met many big cadres, he feels that Lin Tao has a different temperament. When he speaks, it is irresistible.

"City—" Fang Liang walked in, originally wanted to report to Lin Tao that a guest had arrived, but found that Lin Tao was not there, a man in military uniform turned his back to him, and swallowed the words for a while.Xin said, the guests have all entered the banquet hall, why didn't I see it, and the mayor is not there, is this a salute, the mayor won't blame me later.

"Xiao Fang, what's the matter?" Lin Tao turned around and smiled.

Fang Liang rubbed his eyes. He clearly remembered that Lin Tao was wearing a suit when he came here. Why did he turn into a military uniform? This was the first time he saw Lin Tao dressed like this.Looking at Fang Liang's funny look, Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing.

There was a loud "jingle", and a male waiter dropped his fork on the plate, and quickly lowered his head to set it up to hide the embarrassment on his face.

"What a mayor! This is too handsome." Fang Liang laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense, are there any guests?"

"It's Captain Zhao. We're at the door. You don't seem to have heard the call." Fang Liang's heart was pounding, and he said that the mayor's wife is too beautiful. That kind of woman with a smile that captivates the city is the kind of woman who brings disaster to the country and the people. Bar.If Lin Tao wanted to know Fang Liang's thoughts, he had to kick him.

"No, it turned out that the mobile phone was left upstairs, you go and get it." Lin Tao handed Fang Liang the room card, and then pulled Xiao Xiao out of the banquet hall.Go straight to the elevator.

Just then the elevator opened, and six people walked out of it, three men and three women, two in military uniforms, one regiment-level cadre, and one deputy division-level officer.Zhao Sifang was wearing a suit instead, and the three women were in evening gowns.

The moment the elevator opened, Lin Tao just wanted to say hello to Zhao Sifang, but Zhao Sifang turned his head to see his wife's handbag left behind.The two couples who came out earlier saw an officer walking towards them, with a heroic posture, and beside them was a beautiful woman, who was so beautiful that there seemed to be a layer of holy white light on her face.

"Hello, Chief!" The deputy division officer first realized that the young man was actually in the uniform of a major general, his face changed slightly, and he immediately saluted respectfully and stood at attention.

"Hello, Chief!" The regiment-level officer turned pale and broke into a cold sweat. He said to himself, why did he see his female companion so straight up just now? This is a big shame. Although he is not from a military region, he is a major general after all. That's the Chief.

Lin Tao saluted in embarrassment, and then shouted to Zhao Sifang: "Brother Zhao, what's going on, can you introduce me?"

"Hahaha--"

"Cuckoo-"

The couple leaned forward and back together laughing behind them.Apparently seeing the embarrassment on the faces of these two people, they were very happy, and they supported each other and laughed.

"Haha, you two boys also have today." Zhao Sifang laughed while pointing at the two of them.These two people didn't know Lin Tao. Although they knew that this was the mysterious person Zhao Sifang was going to introduce, they didn't know each other at the moment, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Lin Tao. They just watched Zhao Sifang grit his teeth.

"You two don't want to play around like this, introduce me quickly, Xiang Xiaofen!" The woman next to the deputy teacher wanted to shoot two knives out of her eyes.

Xiang Xiaofen clutched her stomach, really couldn't help laughing.Zhao Sifang suppressed a smile and came over to introduce: "This is the good brother I introduced to you two today, the legendary major general Lin Tao of our army, Chief Lin."

Lin Tao patted Zhao Sifang, thinking to himself, if you make a fuss too much, you will offend others, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, be serious, these two elder brothers are."

"They're all older than you. This one's called Brother Li, and this one's called Brother Xiaoma."

"You wait for Zhao Sifang——I am Li Guoqiang from the Gansu Military Region."

"Hello, Brother Li!" Lin Tao lowered his identity and shook hands.

"Don't dare, General Lin is polite." Li Guoqiang really didn't dare to call him a brother for a while, because he was not familiar with him after all.

"Ma Zhengkui, Gansu"

"Hello, Brother Ma!" Lin Tao said with a smile.

"Don't dare, dare not, don't listen to Zhao Sifang's nonsense." Ma Zhengkui hated Zhao Sifang to death.This guy tricked the two of them to wear military uniforms, saying it was a very formal banquet, but when they saw Zhao Sifang at the hotel entrance, he was wearing a suit.Said that the child got the ice cream on him, the two didn't care too much, and followed Zhao Sifang into the hotel.It turned out that Zhao Sifang was playing such a trick, deliberately making the two of them look ugly.

"Shoulders and heads are brothers, why are you two so polite today?" Zhao Sifang laughed.

Lin Tao also laughed and said: "Brother Zhao loves to be funny, and I was also put together by him. We are good friends, so just call me brother. This is my wife Xiao Xiao, and these two are sister-in-laws."

"Tsk tsk, brother and sister Xiao Xiao, you're still letting people live. My wife is thick-skinned, I'm afraid they won't think about it, and they will die of shame and anger after returning home!" Zhao Sifang was mean.Xiang Xiaofen didn't care, and giggled again.

"Damn girl, laugh at you to death! You are worthy of being a couple! A virtue!" The young woman tickled the teeth of the couple who hated them.

"Hi sister-in-law!" Xiao Xiao took the initiative to shake hands with the two women.

"Tsk tsk, younger sister is really beautiful, like a fairy, I said Xiang Xiaofen, why is she so frightened today?" Compared with others, she is a silly maid.Xiang Xiaofen is really not a thing, she deliberately made the couple of us make a fool of myself.Oh, was it because her husband got promoted and the couple got so pissed at the beginning, that made these two guys feel vengeful.Thinking of Li Guoqiang's promotion at the beginning of the year, he was indeed extremely proud, and he was even more proud than Xiang Xiaofen.Unexpectedly, today is the world newspaper!

A group of people entered the banquet hall, Xiao Xiao and the two women quickly became acquainted, the sister and sister were very affectionate, and Xiang Xiaofen was pinched twice by the two women.

Xiang Xiaofen ran behind Xiao Xiao and shouted: "Pay attention to your identity, etiquette! Etiquette!"

"Fuck your etiquette!" The second girl gritted her teeth.These three girls were born in the military compound, and they all came from Jingli, after the general.

Li Guoqiang, Ma Zhengkui and Zhao Sifang's family were also family friends, they were both descended from generals, not to mention close buddies, but their interests were intertwined, so the relationship was very close.

After Zhao Sifang's gags, Li Guoqiang and Ma Zhengkui were no longer restrained, and they began to call Lin Tao brothers.After being a general, I didn't care much about a major general, but it was just a discipline in the army, and I got used to it.

"I'd better go up and change into a suit, Brother Zhao is cheating!" Lin Tao laughed.

"Don't, don't, since we all want to be called brothers. Today, my brother is willing to be a green leaf. Today you are the protagonist." Li Guoqiang said, pulling Lin Tao back.

"Yes, Brother Lin, the number one major general in the army! Brother, you are definitely my idol! I don't know who else Zhao Sifang invited here." Ma Zhengkui also followed suit.

Zhao Sifang smiled and said: "Brother, I brought them here to serve as a foil for you. You are welcome, others are not as honored! These two are brothers, and the others are friends!"

Li Guoqiang and Ma Zhengkui said with a smile: "After a long time, Zhao Sifang finally said something human." The unhappiness of the two of them just disappeared in an instant, and the weight of friends and brothers is of course different.Zhao Sifang treats them as brothers and intends for them to make friends.Of course the two of them understood.

"Damn, why are you two so stupid? I'm just flattering you, to have some luck with Brother Lin—Director Song is here, let's go brother! You two green leaves follow!" Zhao Sifang pulled Lin Tao forward Let's go, Ma Zhengkui and Li Guoqiang looked at each other, and smiled helplessly. Who made themselves low-ranking? Join in the fun.

"Welcome Director Song to come and guide the work!" Zhao Sifang laughed and walked over.Obviously Director Song knew Zhao Sifang's character.He laughed and scolded: "You boy, when will you be serious. Who is this general?"

Director Song saw that Lin Tao was dressed in a major general's uniform, his eyes lit up, and he thought he was a hero, it seems that there are many talents in the army!

"Oh, I get a headache when I see you two!" The woman next to Director Song sighed, but she kept staring at Lin Tao, thinking, this is the Lin Tao that my sister mentioned, right?It really is a character.

"Sister, am I so unpopular? Hehe, this is the director of the Provincial Government Office, my brother-in-law, Comrade Song Liansheng. But it's just one child, no consecutive births." Zhao Sifang said such a sentence at the end, almost throwing Lin Tao was amused.

"You can die if you don't play tricks!" The woman pinched Zhao Sifang's arm fiercely.Zhao Sifang grinned in pain.

"Sister, you're really pinching, that's your brother-in-law, and you're going to kill him, let me see if you pinched the green one!" Xiang Xiaofen walked over and said dissatisfiedly, pretending to look at Zhao Sifang's arm with great concern.

The woman clutched her forehead with an air of being defeated by you.

"Hello, I've known you for a long time. I'm Lin Tao, working in Xiliang."

"Oh, Comrade Lin Tao, the executive vice mayor of Xiliang, I know, you are famous! The hero of the mine accident, Xinhua Daily has made headlines." Song Changsheng said while shaking hands.A few days ago, Song Changsheng and his wife went abroad for inspection in name, but in fact it was a trip abroad for senior officials of the provincial government.

"Brother-in-law, don't be so polite. This Mayor Lin lives in the same compound as me now. He is my brother. Lin Tao, you should also call him brother-in-law. This is not an outsider. This is Xiaofen's own brother-in-law. The one who pinched me is my own brother." Comrade Xiang Xiaoli, my sister-in-law!"

"I'm still kissing my sister-in-law, pinch her hard!" Xiang Xiaofen said distressedly, pulling Zhao Sifang's arm.

Lin Tao finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hello, Lin Tao, I've heard of you a long time ago. A legendary general in the army, and now the executive deputy mayor of Xiliang!" Xiang Xiaoli shook hands with Lin Tao, her eyes burning, and she couldn't help shaking for a second.

"Sister, don't patronize the handsome guy, there are big beauties here too! Sister Xiao Xiao, this is my sister and my brother-in-law." Xiang Xiaofen let Xiao Xiao come over.

Xiang Xiaoli blushed slightly, let go of her hand, glared at her sister and said, "You two are such a pair of treasures!"

"This is my daughter-in-law Xiao Xiao!" Lin Tao introduced to the two.

"Hello, sister Xiaoli, hello brother-in-law!" Xiao Xiao shouted sweetly.

The couple immediately praised: "It's really a man and a woman. Sifang and Xiaofen are in front of you. It's just right for one to be a bookboy and the other to be a maid."

While the two couple admired, they did not forget to hit their sister and brother-in-law.Li Guoqiang and the others don't need to be introduced, they both know each other. This is basically a family friend of the military department.

"I am willing to be Miss Xiao Xiao's maid, and when the time comes, I will also have such tender skin. Don't be jealous!" Xiang Xiaofen said, pulling Xiao Xiao's arm.

"This girl is crazy, don't let her lead you into trouble." Xiang Xiaoli said while holding Xiao Xiao's other hand.Xiao Xiao was also very interested in the two sisters, and said with a smile: "Xiaofen and I are very angry. She should be called Xiaofen's sister-in-law, but she has to call me sister."

"Their couple is a pair of live treasures. I saw her brain hurt. The child is four or five years old, and she is not in shape yet."

Several men walked aside, Zhao Sifang said to Song Changsheng.

"Brother-in-law, today I mainly let Brother Lin meet some friends. In addition, who did you call the person from the traffic department? My brother wants to get some money for road repairs." Zhao Sifang said very directly.

Song Changsheng knew Zhao Sifang's temper. Since he was so affectionate to Lin Tao, it seemed that he had been approved by the Zhao family.

"You boy, you didn't say anything on the phone? Just said to the traffic department—"

"Damn, brother-in-law, didn't you invite someone?" Zhao Sifang said with his mouth open.

"You, why are you so impatient? I haven't finished my sentence yet. Director Wu said to be a few minutes late." Song Changsheng laughed.

"Brother-in-law, you have to correct your panting problem. This scares me. The first time I helped my brother, I lost the chain. What will I do in the future!" Zhao Sifang patted his chest and said.

Song Changsheng hated iron for being weak and said: "You, learn from Brother Lin well, and you can get a star at any time!"

Zhao Sifang said with a little embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, you are a layman. You think this star is easy to get. There are many division-level cadres, but few have stars."

"It's pure luck for me." Lin Tao said politely.

"Luck, aren't you scolding the three of us, you are the real deal, super fighting hero, beautiful Fei—"

"Um--"

Li Guoqiang and Ma Zhengkui next to him hurriedly made a movement, and Li Guoqiang poked Zhao Sifang's waist with his finger.Xin said that it was an absolute military secret, and it could not be disclosed to the outside world.These few people knew that it was also leaked from the top, if not, who would accept Lin Tao's title of major general?

Zhao Sifang was held back, then looked at Song Changsheng and continued, "Military secrets are not suitable for you to tell."
