Jagged City - Chapter 220 Eight Veins

Bai Lizhen took the initiative to find a relationship and changed the booth for Xiliang. Lin Tao called Bai Lizhen to express his gratitude. ┃- ┃

"Vice President Bai, thank you for your help. If the Xiliang government's trip to Shanghai is a complete success, you will be a great contributor."

"This little favor is nothing? Mayor Lin can just call me by my name. But you just call to express your thanks? Don't you buy me a cup of coffee or something?" Bai Lizhen took Lin Tao into the army, and Lin Tao could only agree with a smile .

In the coffee shop on the fourth floor, Bai Lizhen was already waiting there, but Bai Lizhen changed into a skirt instead of a work attire, her whole person looked more elegant, not at all as cold and glamorous as wearing professional attire.

Lin Tao sat on the side of the small coffee table, smiled at Bai Lizhen and said, "Miss Bai seems to be getting off work!"

"Why do you say that?" Bai Lizhen looked at Lin Tao looking at her, feeling sweet in her heart, with a blush on her face, as if she was a young girl in love, this feeling was ten years late.

"Miss Bai has changed her work attire, isn't she going to get off work?" Lin Tao asked.

"Oh, you mean this. I'm the vice president of the hotel. I don't have to wear work clothes to work. Mr. Lin can't judge people by their appearance!" Bai Lizhen also changed her address, from Mayor Lin to Mr. Lin.

"Oh, so I misunderstood. It seems that as the vice president, you are more comfortable and don't have too many constraints."

"The president of our hotel, that is, the chairman of the group, rarely comes here. Of course, as long as the hotel achieves good results, our president is not willing to restrain me." Bai Lizhen took a sip of coffee and said, looking at Lin Tao with big watery eyes, as if What do you want to find out from Lin Tao's face?

"Miss Bai helped a lot this time, and I really appreciate it! But you are the vice president of Jinjiang, so I really can't think of what to treat you to?" Lin Tao laughed.

"That's true. I've worked in hotels these years, and I've tasted all the famous dishes of the eight major cuisines. However, the Chinese food culture is very rich. Some special snacks are not worse than those in big hotels, and they have unique flavors. If Mr. Lin wants to taste Shanghai For snacks, I can introduce you to a few places. For example, the snack street near Broadway still retains the traditions of old Shanghai. When I talk about this, I think of a small chaos, which is stuffed with seafood. , the taste is very delicious." Bai Lizhen showed a bit of shyness after speaking, it seemed that she really wanted to eat this little chaos.

"It seems that the small wontons are really delicious. I have a chance to try them." Lin Tao laughed.

"Unfortunately, you are the mayor and you are too busy with work. Otherwise, I'll treat you to some wontons." Bai Lizhen said tentatively, but she hoped that Lin Tao could go with him.

Although Lin Tao has time, but when he first arrived in Shanghai, he would go out to eat with a beautiful woman, so he would no longer be a jerk in Xiao Xiao's eyes.Therefore, Lin Tao did not dare to provoke Bai Lizhen.Lin Tao followed Bai Lizhen's words and said: "Yes, working in the government is too restrictive and you don't have much freedom. It's not as comfortable as a gold-collared beauty like you."

"Your accent sounds a bit Beijing, and your family is from Beijing?" Seeing that Lin Tao didn't agree, Bai Lizhen quickly changed the subject.

"I was kidnapped after staying in Beijing for several years. My hometown is in the north, I was born in the south, and I work in the northwest."

Bai Lizhen burst into laughter, and said with a smile: "Why do you act like a tongue twister? I know. You have traveled all over the world since you were a child. No wonder you have such great skills. You became the deputy mayor at a young age. I am 29 this year , are you not as old as me?"

"We are the same age, women are generally reluctant to say their age, or at least two years old, Miss Bai is so frank, she seems very confident!"

"What are you confident about? Haven't you sold yourself yet?" Bai Lizhen's tone seemed a bit coquettish, and she looked at Lin Tao affectionately.

Lin Tao coughed and said, "How is it possible? Miss Bai is both talented and beautiful. Those who line up to pursue her should all be in the Pearl TV Tower."

"Good men have been snatched away, and I still can't see those who pursue me."

"That's because your vision is too high. Other good men who lack self-confidence dare not pursue a successful woman like you."

"Yes, it is said that a woman with a successful career is a loser in love. It seems that this sentence is true. By the way, Mr. Lin must have married a long time ago. I heard that it is a condition for the selection of department-level cadres to have a family and a career. .”

"Well, I got married more than a year after graduating from university, and my child will soon be called Dad." Lin Tao's face showed happiness.In fact, he was a little guilty of saying this. Jin Lin is already seven years old, and he can make soy sauce.

Although Bai Lizhen had already guessed this, but after hearing Lin Tao's words, she still felt a little bit disappointed.But he still put on a forced smile and said, "Mr. Lin was born in a family of officials?"

It's normal for Bai Lizhen to have questions. To be the mayor at such a young age, even a provincial or ministerial family usually can't do it.

"I heard that my grandfather herded cattle for the landlord's family, my grandfather was a farmer, and my father was a businessman. I am a top medical student, and I became an official when I was confused." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Bai Lizhen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin is really humorous, are you really a top medical student?"

Bai Lizhen was dubious.I have never heard of a big businessman surnamed Lin. The mayor of Shanghai is all surnamed Lin, but it should have nothing to do with Lin Tao.

"I'm a graduate student majoring in traditional Chinese medicine at the University of Medical Sciences, but I'm a full-time student, not a correspondence course." Lin Tao said solemnly.

"Really? Can you take my pulse? Take my pulse?" Naturally, Bai Lizhen didn't believe it. A full-time graduate student must be 25 or [-] years old. She will be the mayor within three or four years after graduation. This speed is as fast as flying. It's a little hard to swallow.Bai Lizhen stretched out her white wrist and put it on the table.

"Well, if you don't show your skills, you would think that I, an old Chinese doctor, am a liar." Lin Tao put three fingers on Bai Lizhen's wrist.

Bai Lizhen thought that Lin Tao was pretending. If it were another man, she would definitely think he was taking advantage of her, but this time she took the initiative and looked at Lin Tao with interest. Lin Tao squinted his eyes, carefully feeling Bai Lizhen's pulse. beat.

After 30 seconds, he withdrew his hand and said to Bai Lizhen: "You have too much fire, you hurt your liver and spleen, your menstruation is not accurate, and sometimes it hurts. When you rest every day, you will feel backache and leg pain."

Bai Lizhen blushed and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to feel the pulse."

"You have a small problem. You just need to massage and take some mild tonics, and you will return to normal soon."

Bai Lizhen nodded, her back was sore and her legs ached, which was caused by walking back and forth in the hotel every day. Lin Tao said that this is normal, but being able to talk about her private sex is a real skill. It is indeed true in the past two or three months. Menstruation is not allowed, and it is often accompanied by tingling pain, but she just takes some painkillers and doesn't take it seriously.

Although Bai Lizhen took the initiative, it was not easy to discuss her private issues with Lin Tao when meeting for the first time, so Bai Lizhen asked instead: "Mr. Lin, you should be the youngest in the senior management of Xiliang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Are you used to it?"

"Each age is older, basically in their 40s, and the average age is still very young. Together, they are working together. As long as the goals are the same, there is nothing unaccustomed to it." Lin Tao laughed.

The two drank three cups of coffee and talked for more than an hour. Finally, Lin Tao took the opportunity to answer the phone and took the initiative to leave.Bai Lizhen looked at Lin Tao's back with some reluctance.Although Bai Lizhen knew that Lin Tao was married, it was already impossible for her, but it was good to be a friend, because it was the first time she felt that she liked Lin Tao, and when talking to Lin Tao, she was nervous, cautious, and sometimes shy , Just like the beginning of love, this feeling made Bai Lizhen feel that she had turned into a little woman again, not the usual high-ranking vice president Bai.

The call Lin Tao received was from the director of the Commercial Bureau. Xiao Zhao, the driver of the Commercial Bureau, was rear-ended. He was driving very fast, so he bumped into each other. The driver, Xiao Zhao, reasoned with the other party. The other party was driving a luxury BMW. He looked at his car distressedly. , is also a young man, who has experienced this, although he is not familiar with the place, but he is not the master of others, and kicks the other party to the ground with one kick.The young man rolled to the side of the road, and his nose was bleeding from being touched by the roadbed.At this time, three cars drove up one after another from behind the BMW, all of them were young people, some men and some women. Three or four men came down, surrounded Xiao Zhao, and beat and kicked Xiao Zhao one by one. There were many fists, but he kept fighting back and hit two opponents. Later, he was hugged by one of them and was beaten fatly.The lesbians who were traveling together hurriedly called. They acted as a group. After Xiao Zhao’s car was thrown away, there were more than a dozen people who advanced to the shopping mall in front. The four people who besieged Xiao Zhao were beaten up, and it was the director of the Commercial Bureau who stopped everyone.

Director Zhang saw that there were three bleeding from the corners of their mouths on his side, and the other four were basically bruised and swollen.At this time, people from the Public Security Bureau came. The Public Security Bureau was not far from the shopping mall. It was only 500 meters away from the back street of the shopping mall. Dead Xiao Zhao and the others couldn't do it. These few people called one by one, and soon, the chief inspector received the call and immediately took away those involved in the fight from the Commercial Bureau.Director Zhang argued hard.The police later took away both parties involved in the fight.But within 10 minutes, the four young men were released and drank tea in the lounge. On the other hand, Xiao Zhao and the other five were taken into a temporary custody room and locked up.

Director Zhang saw that these four young people had some backgrounds. They were not familiar with Shanghai. They took people out for a walk and got into trouble. Isn’t this embarrassing for Lin Tao, but he had to report this matter to Lin Tao, because He can't solve it.

Lin Tao didn't take it seriously either. Although he wasn't familiar with Shanghai, someone did. The headquarters of Long Hao, one of the antiques of Gaotian International Security Company, is in Shanghai.Lin Tao called Long Hao.

Long Hao questioned: "You didn't say hello when you came up. I still heard from Xiao Xiao that you came to Shanghai. I will welcome you at night. This is my territory. I have to do my best to be a landlord." .”

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Brother Long, I have something to ask from you, the landlord—"

After Lin Tao told the story, Long Hao said with a smile: "It's a small matter, I'll make a call, and they will release it soon. Be mentally prepared, if you don't have three or four bottles tonight, you will never want to leave."

"Well, I'm giving my life to accompany the gentleman. You can arrange it as you please!" Lin Tao hung up the phone and went back to his room to rest. He didn't take this matter to heart, but it was not as simple as he imagined.
