Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

At the same time Li Wei was offline, Guan Peng welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Director Xia, you are a rare visitor. If Xiao Ai hadn't informed me in advance, I would never have thought that you would come to see me."

As soon as Xia Jingru entered the office, Guan Peng greeted her warmly.

After a while, Secretary Qin Bing also knocked on the door and came in, bringing a basket of washed cherries and a plate of sliced ​​black watermelon; she still remembered that the female prosecutor who came to see the boss last time ended up becoming the boss's wife.

Guan Peng didn’t know what Qin Bing was going through, but the scene before him did feel familiar.

"Director Xia, eat some fruit."

"Boss Guan, I never come to you for no reason. This time I came to you because I really want to ask you for help."

Xia Jingru didn't eat the fruit and went straight to the point.

"What are you talking about? Cooperating with government departments is the duty of every citizen. Director Xia, please let me know if you have anything to say. I will do my best."

If it was really business, she wouldn't have come to greet Zhong Xiaoai. Guan Peng deliberately interrupted her with words.

"Mr. Guan, you misunderstood. I came to you this time for a personal matter."

Sure enough, upon hearing what Guan Peng said, Xia Jingru immediately began to explain.

"Private matter? What private matter could Director Xia have to ask me for?"

Guan Peng didn't say anything definite. In fact, he didn't want to get involved in Xia Jingru's private affairs, but since Zhong Xiaoai had already spoken, it would definitely be inappropriate to refuse directly.

"It's about Jin Lei."

"Jin Lei? Your brother, Director Xia, you may have misunderstood. I haven't seen Jin Lei since you asked Xiao Ai to tell me last time. We are not in the same circle at all."

Guan Peng started playing dumb again. Last week, Jin Mingshan's ultimate leap became a joke, and it was reported in the newspaper.

"Mr. Guan, I have to admit my mistake first. For some reason, I have always been prejudiced against you, which is why I asked Xiao Ai to bring you a message last time."

He knew that when one gives a gift to someone, one must have something in mind; but the fact that Xia Jingru stood up and bowed made Guan Peng change his impression of her a lot.

"Director Xia, you are too serious. You did nothing wrong. I, Guan Peng, am not a gentleman. I don't have any major flaws, but I have a lot of minor ones. Those good kids who are just entering society should not have anything to do with me."

Guan Peng exposed his shortcomings not to flatter Xia Jingru, but mainly because of the word "good boy". Is Jin Lei a good boy?

Xia Jingru is just principled, but she is not stupid. She certainly understands what Guan Peng means, and she also realizes that the man in front of her is not so easy to talk to.

"General Guan"

Jingle Bell

Xia Jingru was about to continue explaining when the phone on Guan Peng's desk rang.

"Excuse me, let me take a call."

Without giving Xia Jingru a chance to speak, Guan Peng walked straight to the desk.

"Hello, oh, sorry, I just have something to do here, please wait for me for another ten minutes."

Guan Peng was talking to himself and the person on the other end of the phone was a little confused; Mr. Guan, didn’t you inform me in advance and ask me to call you now?

"Sorry, I have a lot to do. Director Xia, what did you just say?"

"I"

Jingle bell…jingle bell

Before Xia Jingru could speak, the phone rang again.

"Didn't I ask you to wait for ten minutes? Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. What? You're going to inspect the High-Tech Industrial Park this afternoon? OK, I got it. I'll arrange for you to receive me right away."

After Guan Peng hung up the phone, he contacted the person in charge of the industrial park again. He made calls one after another and it took almost an hour to finish.

"Oops, sorry for the delay."

Guan Peng said with an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know Mr. Guan is a very busy man, so I took a whole day off today just to accommodate your schedule."

“You really came prepared.”

Guan Peng sighed in his heart.

咚咚

"Boss Guan, should I ask them to bring lunch over, or should you eat outside?"

Before the two of them started talking, Qin Bing knocked on the door and came in.

"Oh, it's almost twelve o'clock. I'm really busy. Director Xia, let's go out to eat and talk while we eat."

Guan Peng looked at his watch and suggested.

"Okay, the guest follows the host's wishes. I'll follow Mr. Guan's arrangements today."

After hearing this, Guan Peng realized that Xia Jingru was relying on him.

.........

The Romance of the West Chamber - A Sichuan restaurant on the first floor of an investment bank

Guan Peng liked their sour soup fish and secret barbecue very much, so he found the original owner and took over the store.

"Hello, Mr. Guan"

"Hello, Mr. Guan"

From a regular customer to the boss, everyone in this store knows Guan Peng.

"I'll just have the four dishes. Director Xia, what would you like to eat?"

Guan Peng walked into his own private room as usual, greeted the waiter, and handed the menu to Xia Jingru.

"The old four? What did you order?"

"Mr. Guan ordered the secret barbecue, sour soup fish, glutinous rice spareribs and dry pot cabbage."

Guan Peng didn't say anything, and the waiter explained.

"There are already four dishes, so I won't order any more."

Xia Jingru handed the menu to the waiter.

"Boss Guan, what would you like to drink?"

Knowing who the real owner was, the waiter asked.

"As for me, open a plate of the wine you saved last time. Director Xia, do you drink red wine?"

"I also can."

So easy to talk to; Guan Peng was a little unsure of Xia Jingru's attitude. What kind of help does she want from me?

It’s my own restaurant, entertaining my own boss, so the food was served really quickly, in less than five minutes.

"This is wine made from our own winery. I wonder if it suits Director Xia's taste."

"Anything produced by Mr. Guan must be of the highest quality. Xiao Ai has shared a lot of the things you bought for her in the past. But time flies so fast, and she has become a mother in the blink of an eye."

Even after going to Yanzhou, Xia Jingru kept in touch with Zhong Xiaoai. She often heard her complain about how much Guan Peng spent. Judging from the attitude he showed today, he was not planning to take advantage of me.

"Yes, it only took a blink of an eye. By the way, what exactly did you want to talk to me about today?"

It was purely Xia Jingru who was overthinking. Guan Peng just couldn't stand her inhumane style of doing things. As for the rest, he really had no idea at the moment.

"You should have heard about my uncle Jin, right?"

"I heard Xiao Ai talk about it. What a pity."

It can be seen from the two words "Uncle Jin" that even now, Jin Mingshan still has a place in Xia Jingru's heart, and Guan Peng did not comment too much.

Looking at Xia Jingru's expression, Guan Peng knew that this widow should be her mother.

"I have to thank Xiao Ai. If she hadn't kept reminding me to avoid suspicion, I wouldn't know how to face them now."

The Butterfly Effect

Guan Peng influenced Zhong Xiaoai, and Zhong Xiaoai influenced Xia Jingru. At the beginning of this investigation, Xia Jingru chose to avoid suspicion.

Although the result was still that Jin Mingshan was caught and jumped off the building, many changes occurred in the middle, one of which was that Jin Lei escaped.

Chapter 85 Four Seasons Hotel

It is a painful experience for a person to accept legal punishment against his will. And as a law enforcer, sending your relatives and friends who have committed crimes to prison yourself, even if it is a just act, is it not another painful experience?

This time, Xia Jingru did not experience this kind of pain, but she still felt bad seeing Jin Mingshan, whom she regarded as a father, being thrown into prison and Jin Lei, whom she regarded as her own brother, having no news at all.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Guan Peng stopped her.

"Director Xia, you can't drink like this. If you get drunk, I won't know where to take you."

"Being drunk is just what you want. I heard from Xiao Ai that you seem to have a special liking for the prosecutor."

Zhong Xiaoai was busy with her career, and although the two of them were together less and less, their life became more romantic, and the temptation of uniforms was one of them; but Guan Peng didn't expect her to tell this to Xia Jingru.

"Ahem, you two really can talk about anything. By the way, what exactly did you want to talk to me about today?"

Guan Peng changed the subject.

"I heard that you have a lot of connections in Hong Kong. Can you help me find Jin Lei?"

Xia Jingru did not forget the real purpose of this trip.

"Jin Lei? Why are you looking for him? Are you planning to kill your own relatives for the sake of justice?"

"You're a grown man, can you stop being so stingy? I've already admitted my mistake to you."

Modern women can easily switch between the two modes of ladies first and gender equality, and Xia Jingru is no exception.

"Okay, I'm wrong, but you have to tell me, why did you look for him?"

Guan Peng usually doesn't do thankless tasks.

"Jin Lei has been staying at the Four Seasons Hotel since arriving in Hong Kong, but I haven't been able to contact him since last week. I'm a little worried that something might have happened to him."

Although Jin Lei was not on the wanted list, strictly speaking he was also a person involved in the case. It was unexpected to Guan Peng that Xia Jingru had contact with him.

"As for the Four Seasons Hotel, I can ask for you."

As the landlord, Guan Peng naturally had to deal with the person in charge of the hotel. In front of Xia Jingru, he called Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu - Liu Dongwan, the official person in charge of the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Mr. Guan, I didn't hear that you were coming to Hong Kong. How come you have time to call me today?"

The one who dared to act in a dishonest manner in front of Zhao Ruilong knew that Zhao Ruilong had a shady background, or that he had something on him; facing Guan Peng, Mr. Liu would not dare to be careless.

"I never come to see you for nothing. I'm here to see you today because I have something. I have a little brother named Jin Lei who stayed at your hotel a few days ago, but I can't contact him recently. Can you help me find out what's going on?"

Guan Peng didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.

"Jin Lei? Is he the son of Jin Mingshan, the former chairman of Yanzhou Group?"

"Yes, that's him. You should have some news about him."

"Jin Lei is your man? Wait a minute, I will stop him now."

Liu Dongwan was probably anxious and hung up Guan Peng's phone directly.

"To stop it? What is he going to stop? Is something wrong with Jin Lei?"

In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Guan Peng turned on the speakerphone, and Xia Jingru heard the entire conversation between the two.

"Well, I don't know. Let's wait for him to call back."

Having said that, Guan Peng also realized that Jin Lei was probably in big trouble.

.........

There was a truly extraordinary boxing match taking place on the rooftop of the Four Seasons Hotel.

In the octagonal cage, punches hit flesh. Although the two men chased each other, Jin Lei was beaten the whole time.

"Zhao Tai, beat him up, beat that coward"

"Mr. Jin, don't run away. Learn from your father and make the ultimate leap."

Among those cheering and shouting were the second generation of the locals as well as wealthy businessmen who had fled here from the mainland after getting into trouble.

"Brother Zhao, stop fighting. I admit defeat. Isn't it okay for me to admit defeat? I have money to pay you back. Can you give me some time?"
