Next to the Jingpu city councilor's office, in a private room of a western restaurant.

The Beta waiter in a white shirt and a black bow tie walked silently. He opened the door quietly, put the dishes in his hand on the dining table, and then walked out silently. Apart from the soft sound when the plate touched the table, there was no other sound during the whole process, and there was no glance at the two customers.

Even though the two of them are the center of Jingpu's recent topic.

The first element of being able to work in this store for a long time is to recognize one's own position and turn a blind eye to everything that has nothing to do with work.He has worked here for three years and knows this rule by heart.

Sui Yuesheng casually swirled the red wine in the glass, and waited until the waiter closed the door before saying, "Have a taste?"

He pointed to the white porcelain plate that had just been served, and introduced, "Jumbo Crab Cake tastes very similar to the store next to our school."

Jiang Jingyun, who was sitting opposite, smiled: "You asked me out today, just for this?"

Sui Yuesheng had already made an appointment with him for this meal when he visited Dow on Tuesday this week, and specially set the place near his office. The other party had already done this, and he had no reason to refuse. What's more, he didn't have the will to refuse.

It's just that Sui Yuesheng's first sentence was to introduce him to the dishes.

Although he said so, Jiang Jingyun still cut a small piece with a knife and fork and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, he nodded his head and expressed his appreciation for Sui Yuesheng's taste: "It tastes good, and it is indeed very similar."

He rushed over as soon as he got off work. After entering the box door, he took off his suit jacket and hung it aside. He was wearing a white shirt and tie at this time.

But Sui Yuesheng was not deceived by his appearance at all, and also smiled: "Then I don't have to deduct Assistant Zhou's salary."

Facing Jiang Jingyun's puzzled gaze, he explained: "The store was recommended by him. I haven't had time to come over to check it out beforehand. After thinking about it, I just asked you to come here with me. It can be regarded as a return to asking you to welcome me a few days ago. That meal."

"Of course, thank you." Sui Yuesheng nodded slightly.

Jiang Jingyun knew how busy the other party was recently.He took time out of his busy schedule to treat guests, and specially accommodated his schedule, and the location was arranged privately enough, which is his responsibility, but he still said: "There is actually no need to be so polite between you and me."

When he followed Yuesheng to study abroad, he studied at the same university, and he also worshiped under the same tutor.Although the latter is a beta, his performance in all aspects is not inferior, even surpassing alpha. They are both the best among the students, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

Jiang Jingyun was two years earlier than Sui Yuesheng. On the eve of his Ph.D. graduation, the two chatted about some future development plans.At that time, he had revealed to the other party that the Jiang family hoped that he would run for parliamentary election after returning to China, but he himself was not optimistic about the result.

Sui Yuesheng took a double degree in business. At that time, he had already started to take over what Tao Zhixing had arranged for him to practice. A small company in the Western Continent was so busy every day, but he still expressed his willingness to help.At that time, Jiang Jingyun only thought that he was being polite to him. Although he was grateful, he didn't take it to heart.

But to his surprise, after he returned to China to announce his candidacy, Sui Yuesheng actually began to serve as his staff despite the time difference, not only providing him with a large amount of funds from the company under his jurisdiction Assistance, even Jiang Jingyun's speech script, he took care of it all.

Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. The other party suddenly returns to China and inherits the Dow family with a high profile. Even if it is just out of previous friendship, he will lend a helping hand.

What's more, Sui Yuesheng is one of his few friends.

"One size fits all." Sui Yuesheng shrugged, raised his goblet to touch him, "After all, my place is still a mess."

The implication is that there are many places where you can be used in the future.

The bright and dark sides of the Tao family's businesses are hard bones, and each one is more difficult to crack. Although he has repaired all the thorns on the bright side one by one, it is still a river with a turbulent undercurrent.

"Just ask for help when you need help." Jiang Jingyun knew how useful his status as a member of parliament was, but he also knew how severe the situation his little junior was facing at the moment, but it couldn't be resolved overnight. After much deliberation, he ended up tactfully dissuading, "Take a little bit, and there will always be results."

Sui Yuesheng nodded obediently, but Jiang Jingyun knew from his expression that he definitely didn't listen.He tapped the table with his knuckles angrily, signaling Sui Yuesheng to return his attention to the food in front of him: "Let's eat first."

Sui Yuesheng sneered, but this time he obediently obeyed.

The two ate and chatted with red wine. They were halfway through the work arrangement for the next stage, and when they started to discuss how to cooperate, the phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry." Sui Yuesheng gestured, but didn't go out, and answered the phone in front of Jiang Jingyun, a gesture of trust.

"Yes, I am born with the moon."

He just said this, and then fell into silence.

Although Jiang Jingyun couldn't hear what the other person was saying, he could see the expression on Sui Yuesheng's face—it became more and more strange, as if the palette had been overturned, colorful.

In less than 2 minutes, Sui Yuesheng hung up the phone, drank the remaining red wine in the glass, and apologized in three parts: "Brother, I'm really sorry, I was going to treat you to dinner today, but I There is something urgent now, I have to go to the police station, and I will invite you next time I have a chance."

On this side, Sui Yuesheng frowned and sent a message to the driver, asking him to pick him up, and then went to the front desk to pay the bill. On the other side, Jiang Jingyun's thoughts changed slightly, and he figured out the whole story in an instant.

He knew the Tao family's secret business.The one who can let Sui Yuesheng eat half of his meal and send his pigeons to the police station is either that there is a big mess in the secret business, or something happened to Dow, in short, it will not be a small problem.

"It's not in a hurry to eat, but shall I walk with you?" He still spoke.

After all, Sui Yuesheng just came back, and all kinds of relationship networks have not yet been established. As a member of parliament, he went with Yuesheng, so he can help to turn things around.

Sui Yuesheng smiled wryly: "There is no need to mobilize teachers and crowds so much, it's really not a big deal..."

Jiang Jingyun raised his eyebrows, the meaning of which was self-evident.

——It’s not a big deal that can make you rush over there in such a hurry?

He didn't approve of Sui Yuesheng's bravado in this situation, but just as he wanted to speak, Sui Yuesheng spoke first.

"Brother, I'll talk to you if I have something to do, but this time it's really not a big deal." He was silent for a while, his expression seemed a little difficult to express, "The children at home were fighting in the street, and passers-by called the police. Here, bring him out."

Jiang Jingyun: "..."

Councilor Jiang fell silent.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, he hurriedly picked up the decanter and poured some wine into his glass, and took a swig in a disguised way: "Then...see you next time."

"it is good."

Sui Yuesheng was not polite to him, he nodded his head, turned around and left, walking fast.

"Hey!" Jiang Jingyun raised his eyes and suddenly realized something was wrong, but he didn't stop calling him.

Both of them were wearing formal clothes today, and they both hung their coats on the rack when they entered the door. Sui Yuesheng left in such a hurry that he even took the wrong clothes.Jiang Jingyun originally wanted to make a phone call to ask him to come back, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.

He is about the same height as Yuesheng, and the suit jacket can't be distinguished at first glance. Anyway, he still has spare clothes in the office. Sui Yuesheng said just now that he plans to move back to Tao's house today. The driver just sent the clothes back to Tao's house.

It is more important to go to the police station to pick up the child first.

But... Although he hasn't dealt with this young master of the Tao family much, the two met once in the mourning hall, and the other party looked quite mature and stable, why are they fighting suddenly now? Arrested into the police station?

It's really... a bit indescribable.Jiang Jingyun carefully recalled the puberty of himself and other friends, and confirmed that this was not an ordinary thing.

Even though he was just a bystander, he still felt very distressed at this moment, Jiang Jingyun didn't dare to imagine Sui Yuesheng's mood at this time, so he could only silently light a candle for his junior in his heart.

——While dealing with business while taking care of the cub, he also had to wipe the cub's ass along the way. Such a miserable beta, let alone the whole of Kyushu, he is the only one born in the whole world, right?

···

"Your parents are here."

An alpha police officer opened the door of the conference room, Tao Fengche nodded, as a greeting to him, and then stood up with a sullen face.

It's not that he deliberately showed others face, it's really embarrassing about today's incident.

The relationship between the chief of police and the Tao family has always been good. He even sent the pictures of Tao Zhixing's accident scene. If he saw them, Tao Fengche had to call him uncle. Bureau, the other party received the message.

He was well aware of the super self-esteem of minor alphas, so he didn't come to see him in person, but he didn't let Tao Fengche enjoy the same treatment as the gangsters.The latter was still accepting ideological education with a bitter face at this time, and writing the [-]-word self-criticism by the way, but Tao Fengche was led by the director's secretary and stayed comfortably in an empty conference room.

Due to the rules and regulations, the secretary couldn't release Tao Fengche directly, but within the scope of his ability, he could be regarded as responsive to every request - after learning that Tao Fengche hadn't had lunch yet, the secretary went to the cafeteria to get him a boxed lunch , the taste is useless, but the quantity is large, and Tao Fengche, who has finally filled his stomach, quietly stayed in the conference room, obediently waiting for someone to pick him up.

The Tao family's ancestral house is a certain distance from the police station. It will take some time for Xu Song to come over. How come so soon?

Tao Fengche had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He quietly walked out behind the police leading the way.

But the reality was far beyond his expectations.After passing through the corridor connecting the office area and the lobby, Tao Fengche saw a tall and tall figure at the end of the corridor.

He was obviously wearing a formal suit, but he didn't wear a coat or tie. His light gray hair was draped softly on his shoulders. He looked at this side with clear eyes, and he didn't know how long he stood there.

"Thank you." After the man said this to the policeman, he led Tao Fengche outside.

How could it be you?What about Uncle Xu?

Do you... know that I fight?

Thousands of words flooded into his heart, and Tao Fengche was at a loss for words for a while.

He is a minor alpha, the police station will contact his legal guardian, he is clear about this.But not long ago at school, when Feng Hui contacted the guardian, Sui Yuesheng didn't know what he was doing and was not there. This time he knew that the other party was busy in the company recently, so he naturally thought that he would be the same as last time...but he didn't expect him It came.

Tao Fengche was both happy and ashamed, he was half a step behind Sui Yuesheng, looking at the other person's back, he always felt that the other person was not the same today as before, but before he could figure out why, Sui Yuesheng spoke again.

"Xiao Che, long time no see."

He heard Sui Yuesheng say that.
