The more you try to hide it, the more it will be exposed.

  "Sorry, Ru Xi, I didn't expect to run into Tong Yuan today either."

  Xu Yi smiled apologetically at Li Ruoxi, "How about this, to show my apology, I'll treat you to lunch today, you can choose the place."

  "Hey, Brother Xu, it's okay, Tongyan didn't say anything wrong either. My figure was never as good as hers anyway." Li Ruoxi looked down at her own slightly bulging chest and thought about Tongyan's voluptuous figure, feeling a bit down.

  "Silly girl, you're still young. Some girls develop early, some late, and you're just one of the late bloomers. They say that girls change a lot at 18, but you're still young now." Xu was speechless, but couldn't find the right words to comfort her. "You silly girl, eat more food, or how will you grow taller?"

  "Come on, brother is treating you to barbecue."

  Xu Yi picked up his laptop bag and pulled Li Ruoxi's hand, walking out in big strides.

  The place to eat was a Hunan restaurant next to the school, and Xu ordered a table of dishes slowly, some spicy and some not, all of which catered to Li Ruoxi's taste.

  The two of them had a good meal, and Xu Yi decided to follow Li Ruoxi for a few more days to learn computer operations before going to Jiangnan, where he would also open an account at a securities company and play the stock market.

  Li Ruoxi also agreed to teach Xu Yi how to use a computer, and the two made an appointment that as long as she didn't have classes, Xu Yi would go to her school to learn from Li.

  After lunch, Xu Yi followed Li Ruoxi to the school library and studied computer for two hours. In the afternoon, Li Ruoxi had class, so Xu Yi drove himself to a securities company and opened an account, depositing 2 million yuan into his card, preparing to try his hand at the stock market. They say that the stock market is a barometer of a country's economy; he wanted to experience how this barometer works.

  So, Xu Yi stayed in Beijing for a few more days, learned computer operations, and also knew how to use stock trading software to buy and sell stocks. Of course, he also learned to use chat software QQ to chat online, that is, without making phone calls, they could still keep in touch.

  Xu Yi boarded a plane bound for Baisha City, the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province on October 21st.

  This was Xu Yi's first time taking a plane, fortunately Li Ruoxi sent him to the airport, accompanied Xu Yi to exchange boarding passes, go through security checks, and find the waiting lounge for his flight in the waiting hall.

  Li Ruoxi is indeed a worthy descendant of the esteemed family, doing things in an orderly and organized manner, busy but not chaotic, and still having a few points of dignity and elegance.

  She saw Xie Yi off at the boarding gate, and then Li Ruoxi turned around and walked quickly out of the airport's ticket hall. With her car keys in hand, she headed towards the parking lot. From a distance, she saw a young man walking towards her with a bouquet of flowers, so she hastily dodged into a nearby bookstore and picked up a magazine to pretend to browse.

  Because the young man holding the flowers was someone she knew, it was Liang Shao Yi, the eldest son of the Liang family in Beijing. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be picking up his girlfriend, but who knows how many girlfriends he had already had? Li Ruo Xi did not want him to see her sending Xu Yi off at the airport, or else it would stir up more rumors and trouble, as the Liang and Li families never got along.

  "Huh? Ruo Xi, what are you doing at the airport?"

  A surprised voice rang out, Li Ruoxi was startled and scared, hastily raising her head to see a plump and refined noblewoman standing in front of her, with a light yellow LV bag on her wrist and flipping through a fashion magazine. It was Liu Fang, the wife of Hao Zhongqi, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and also a colleague of her mother's.

  "Aunt Liu, what a coincidence! You're here too? I'm seeing off a friend at the airport."

  Li Ruoxi warmly greeted Liu Fang, who nodded and casually tossed the magazine onto a shelf. "I'm also here to see someone off at the airport. Let's go, I'll give you a ride."

  "No need, auntie, I'll drive myself."

  Li Ruoxi hastily shook the car key in her hand and said, "You go first, I'll choose another book."

  Liu Fang nodded and quickly walked out.

  Li Ruoxi watched Liu Fang's back disappear, waited for a moment, and then threw the book in her hand onto the bookshelf. She immediately sprinted towards the parking lot. This place was too dangerous, and the discipline of running into familiar people was too great. It was better to leave as soon as possible.

  She didn't know that as she rushed to the parking lot with the car key, Liu Fang's figure flashed out from a corridor on one side, watching her sneakily get into a white Santana, and her curiosity was suddenly ignited. She took down the license plate number and made a call. "Son, help me check a car."

  A moment later, Hao Xun's phone arrived.

  "Mom, this license plate belongs to Old Xu's grandson Xu Zhiyuan, what happened?"

  "Xu Zhiyuan's car?"

  Liu Fang was stunned. Had Xu Zhiyuan and Li Ruoxi started dating? Otherwise, why would this girl make such a big show of it?

  The Li and Xu families' status is not much different, the old Li family has a significant influence in politics, and the old Xu family also has a great influence in the military. Of course, the only difference lies in that Li Ruoxi is just an outsider granddaughter of the Li family, while Xu Zhīyuàn is obviously the only successor among the third generation of the Xu family.

  "It seems that it was given to Xu Yi for use again, after Xu Zhiyuan won the Lamborghini from Lao Rongxuan last time, this car has been used by Xu Yi."

  A voice came from the receiver, "Mom, Xu Yi is the eldest grandson of the Xu family who became a Taoist priest."

  It's a mess, it's a mess. Xu Zhiyuan's car was given to Xu Yi, but now it's in Li Ruoxi's hands. Liu Fang suddenly felt that her brain wasn't working properly, but one thing was certain: the relationship between the Xu and Li families shouldn't be too different.

  The plane landed at Baisha Airport, and Xu Yi dragged his luggage out of the terminal building. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was still early. If he didn't stay in Baisha City, he could make it to Hengchuan City for the night and head back to Qixi early tomorrow. However, his father had spoken, saying they needed to pay a visit to Guo Haifeng, the deputy secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Committee.

  Guo Haifeng is a classmate of his father's at the Central Party School, and their relationship seems to be okay. Now that Xu Yi has come to Guo Haifeng's turf as a junior, it would be inappropriate not to pay him a visit. The first time could be excused, but this is already the second time in Jiangnan; if he doesn't go for a visit this time, it would be hard to justify.

  Xu took out his mobile phone and turned it on. After a moment, the phone rang. He answered immediately, and a bright laugh came from the receiver. "Mr. Xu, this is Jiang Weifeng from Qixi County. Have you arrived?"

  "Director Jiang, hello, I just got off the plane."

  "Director Xu, I'm at the airport too. I just sent a friend off on a flight. Let's go, we can head into the city together. Wait, I see you now."

  Xu Yiyi stared blankly at her phone, looked up and glanced around, and indeed saw Jiang Weifeng standing not far away making a call. He immediately hung up the phone and walked over with quick strides.

  "Director Jiang, hello, long time no see."

  Xu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Weifeng, whose driver had already gotten out of the car and put his luggage in the trunk. Jiang Weifeng smiled and said, "Director Xu, I've been waiting day and night for you to arrive. The project is still waiting for your launch. The county committee has studied and decided to treat the Binjiang residential area project as a key project, and all aspects of the work can be given the green light."

  "Try to get the foundation laid before the Spring Festival, General Xu, what do you think?"

  "Okay, everything is fine on my end."

  Xu smiled and got into the car, "However, before returning to Qixi, I want to go visit Guo Haifeng, Secretary of Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee. He was a classmate of my father's at the Central Party School. My father repeatedly reminded me to pay him a visit this time."

  Jiang Weifeng nodded and waved his hand at the driver, "Drive, go to the provincial party committee compound."

  Xu picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly answered, and a loud voice came from the receiver, "Hello, I'm Guo Haifeng."

  "Hello Uncle Guo, I am Xu Yi, the son of Xu Zhengchun from the National Development and Reform Commission."

  "Oh, Xi Yi, is that you? Are you going to take a plane? I'll arrange for a car to pick you up in a bit. Let's have dinner at home tonight."

  "Uncle Guo, don't bother yourself."

  Xu Yuhehe smiled, "I just got off the plane and I'm on my way to Baisha now. Secretary Jiang from Qixi County Committee came to pick me up at the airport, and we're rushing to Baisha right now."

  "Alright, let's invite them all to come to the provincial party committee guesthouse for a meal."

  Xu hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Weifeng, who was excited. "Secretary Jiang, you also heard Secretary Guo's words, right? Go directly to the provincial party committee guest house, have lunch and then hurry back to Qixi. You can't delay the progress of your county party committee's work."

  "Don't delay, don't delay."

  Jiang Weifeng smiled and said, "Being able to have dinner with the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, even more important work will have to be put off."

  Jiangnan Provincial Committee Guest House.

  A black Santana with a license plate of Qi Xi County Committee No. 1 slowly drove into the gate of the hotel, and Xu Yi saw a young man standing on the steps in front of the hotel's reception desk, wearing glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, who was likely to be Guo Haifeng's secretary.

  Xu Yi pushed open the car door and got out, and indeed saw the young man coming up to him, smiling and extending his hand. "Hello, are you Xu Yi? I'm Li Ming, Secretary Guo's secretary."

  "Director Li, hello, I'm Xu Yi." Xu Yi shook hands with Li Ming and was about to introduce Jiang Weifeng when he saw Jiang Weifeng already smiling and greeting Li Ming. "Director Li, long time no see, it's been a while since you last came to our Qi Xi for inspection work."

  "Old Jiang, you still say that, even coming to Baisha didn't give me a call."

  Li Ming grasped Jiang Weifeng's hand and laughed, "Haha!" Jiang Weifeng glanced at him and smiled, saying, "Director Xu, Li Ming and I were classmates in the Provincial Party Committee's Youth Cadre Class."

  "Yes, among our batch, you're considered one of the more successful ones."

  Li Ming smiled and made a please gesture, "Let's go, the boss is already waiting in the room. There was originally a lunch appointment this afternoon, but it was postponed to receive you."

  "Mr. Guo is really too polite, it's a bit hard for me to accept."

  Xu smiled faintly and strode into the main hall.
