Chapter 1867: Illusion (please give me a monthly vote!)

(Congratulations to Wu Yuzhijian for becoming the head of the official god, opening the door and establishing a sect, which is intimidating from all directions! Thanks for his strong support!)

The lakeside, the night, the moonlight, and the quietness are intertwined into a scene that can be seen in the painting.

In addition, the climate is pleasant, if you are not acquaintance, it is a pleasure to just visit here.

However, at this time, Xia Xiang was obviously unwilling to visit, because today's meeting was of great importance, so the beautiful scenery around him had to be ignored, but the beauty in front of him could not be ignored.

Yes, the people who came out to greet him came in a hurry and turned out to be a woman about 30 years old.

The woman was wearing a cheongsam, with a soft figure as a willow, her eyes and eyebrows were like a willow swaying in the wind. The best thing was her almond eyes, which were indeed like water and fog, with both the tenderness of a southern woman and the ability of a northern woman.

If she had to make a comparison, she would be at the moment, just one glance, like the complex of Yan Xiao and Lian Ruohan.

In fact, Xia Xiang had also imagined another possibility, that the person who met him today might be Lin Shuangpeng. Although Lin Shuangpeng is the son-in-law of the Ji family, he is also the core force of the Ji family. When meeting him, he is not at a high level or low level, and his identity is not too sensitive...

Or maybe the third generation of the Ji family or the younger generation came forward and had a tentative contact with him, but never thought that it was a woman and a beauty.

Whether it was a beauty was no different for Xia Xiang, but what he was confused about was who was the person coming? Based on age, it should be the Ji family.

"You must be Xia ***?" The woman came closer, and Yingying smiled without any tension and introduced herself, "I am Ji Rulan, and I am honored to invite Xia *** to come."

Ji Rulan is really famous as his own. The orchid is elegant and elegant, quiet and intelligent, just like an orchid with a calm and fragrant fragrance, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a poetic spirit.

Xia Xiang reached out and shook hands with Ji Rulan: "Hello, Ms. Ji, it is also my honor to be a guest at Hua Wuque."

Ji Rulan smiled sweetly and reached out to ask Xia Xiang to enter gracefully: "Please." She looked up at the name of the villa again, "I hope the inappropriate name did not make Xia *** laugh."

Xia Xiang said politely: "Where is the name of the person, the flower is flawless, a place where even a hundred flowers are not lacking in beauty should be as gentle as jade and flawless."

Ji Rulan covered her mouth and smiled, trying hard to keep her teeth from showing too much: "Xia*** is really good at speaking. I always thought that politicians are serious and serious old people, but I didn't expect that there would be a wonderful person as young and free as Xia***."

After a few gossips, Xia Xiang and Ji Rulan fought each other lightly for a round without any trace.

Zhang Li followed behind, smiling without saying a word.

In the villa, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom and are placed in an orderly manner, as if entering a garden with blooming flowers, with flowers everywhere and beautiful articles everywhere.

In the night, the breeze was blowing, and there was silence everywhere. I walked in the sea of ​​flowers. The place where I saw was full of colorful scenery, and the fragrance of flowers was filled with the surroundings. If the person who led the way was an elegant and pleasant beauty, Xia Xiang was relaxed and happy for a moment.

Regardless of whether you will gain something from today’s meeting, just a trip here is worth it.

After entering the room, I saw that the decorations in the room were simple and fresh, Xia Xiang looked at the villa owner even more differently. At least this state of mind that people can raise flowers and nourish people is not allowed.

After arriving at the living room and sitting down, Ji Rulan personally served tea.

"Xia*** first tastes the camellia tea in Lingnan. Although it is not a famous tea, it is picked by myself and fried by myself. It is natural and harmless. I believe you can drink it." It is really pleasing to the eye with a plain hand and green tea cup. She sent the tea to Xia Xiang, "Chen*** also likes to drink it."

Xia Xiang thought about it and suddenly remembered the green tea that Chen Haotian gave him when he was in Qisheng. He took the tea in his hand and tasted it gently... Sure enough, it was the same kind of tea and the same taste.

If he guessed correctly, Ji Rulando was half a representative of the Ji family. It would be reasonable to come forward to contact him at her age, but it seems that she has no position.

Thinking of Chen Haotian's tea leaves also came from her, it means that she is also familiar with Chen Haotian, or has had contact with Chen Haotian as the spokesperson of the Ji family.

Xia Xiang looked at Zhang Li as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Li didn't speak after coming in, which was completely different from his usual behavior. He neither introduced Ji Rulan to Xia Xiang nor took the initiative to introduce Xia Xiang to Ji Rulan. It was a bit rude.

When Xia Xiang saw it, Zhang Li smiled apologetically and said, "Xia***, Sister Ji usually travels between Yangcheng and Meihua, mainly responsible for the family affairs of the Ji family. In her spare time, she likes to grow flowers the most. Because she grows flowers very well, someone gave Sister Ji a nickname... Flower God."

Ji Rulan smiled and said, "What kind of flower god? They are all screaming. I heard that some people call Xia *** the official god?"

When Zhang Li was speaking just now, his eyes drifted a few times. He wanted to see but didn't dare to see Ji Rulan's abnormality fell into Xia Xiang's eyes, which made Xia Xiang feel a little more guesswork.

"Zi Wu said that the strange powers are in chaos. I think Ms. Ji is still a good name for the flower fairy." Since it was her first meeting, she mainly focused on tasting tea and enjoying flowers and chatting. Xia Xiang would not take the initiative to mention any serious matters. The power of the Ji family in Lingnan is huge, and Xia Xiang must maintain the necessary reserve. After all, he is the deputy *** and the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Provincial Party Committee, with a high position and a powerful person. He smiled and said, "As soon as the official god is talking about it, it is even more joking."

Ji Rulan jumped over the topic again: "Xia*** should call me Rulan, but Ms. Ji feels alienated no matter how she hears it. Today, she invites Xia*** to have a simple meal. It is my skill. Regardless of whether it suits the taste or not, I must praise it and give me some confidence."

Ji Rulan smiled again and got up to prepare.

I have to say that Ji Rulan treats people very well, and her every frown and smile has her own charm, and she has the style of a lady from a noble family. She also has extraordinary conversations and is neither gentle nor quick. She is a daughter of a famous family.

But the question is, who is Zhang Li from the Ji family?

Xia Xiang cast doubtful eyes on Zhang Li.

Zhang Li said to him, "Xia***, Sister Ji is very good at cooking and doesn't cook in person, unless there are VIP guests. Today she specially cooked a sumptuous meal, which is also a great emphasis on Xia***. Last time Chen*** came, she only cooked one or two dishes by herself, but today there were four or five dishes."

Xia Xiang did not take Zhang Li's true and false compliment, but asked, "So, you are here last time Chen*** came?"

Zhang Li didn't expect Xia Xiang to react so quickly. He looked up and said quickly, "I was not present, I heard what Sister Ji said afterwards."

"Oh..." Xia Xiang responded lightly and asked slowly, "Zhang Li, how long have you been in the provincial party committee?"

Zhang Li is 32 years old this year and serves as deputy director in the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat, but he is treated as a director-level director. He is very inconspicuous in the Provincial Party Committee. If he had not served as Mi Jihuo's secretary, he would probably not have had any chance to make a name for himself.

There are many secretaries of all sizes in the secretariat, with few comprehensive secretaries and many professional secretaries. Generally, at the provincial and ministerial level, there are at least two secretaries around you, one is a comprehensive secretary and the other is a professional secretary.

The comprehensive secretary is the image spokesperson who can follow the leader at any time. It is the second image of the leader and the shortcut to the promotion. Professional secretaries should mostly organize relevant professional materials to provide detailed basis for the professional data cited by the leader's speech, and are far less dense than the comprehensive secretary.

Zhang Li is actually a professional talent. He studies economics. That is to say, if there is no way, he will most likely be qualified in the secretariat and serve as a professional secretary, and then he will keep redirecting in the provincial party committee. The best outcome is the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee.

But being Mi Jihuo's secretary is equivalent to becoming one step ahead of the sky, the governor's secretary, and the second secretary of the provincial party committee. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as he has a close relationship with Mi Jihuo and is deeply trusted by Mi Jihuo, Mi Jihuo may also take him as the provincial party committee's ***, so his prospects will be bright.

So Xia Xiang couldn't understand Zhang Li's background and origin, and who recommended him. Judging from Zhang Li's resume, there was nothing surprising, and there was no way to tell whether he had anything to do with the Ji family.

"As soon as I graduated from university, I was assigned to the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat and worked in the Provincial Party Committee for seven or eight years." Zhang Liming knew that Xia Xiang actually wanted to understand his background, but he deliberately skipped it. "I have never achieved any results. If it weren't for Governor Mi's appreciation, I would have not yet made any progress."

Xia Xiang saw that he couldn't ask anything and knew that everyone had secrets that he didn't want to reveal, so he stopped asking. As soon as he looked up, Ji Rulan had already served the meal.

Perhaps out of respect for him, Ji Rulan did not let others interfere and served the food in person. Xia Xiang was not very particular about eating, so he took a casual look and saw that the food was as delicate as a painting, and every leaf was placed in a straightforward manner. He suddenly realized in his heart that he had to have much leisure to manage his life in detail.

Ji Rulan, from the surface, is indeed like a woman who is as beautiful as a valley orchid. She is as untainted as smoke and dust, but she is in charge of the Ji family affairs. The family affairs are the most complicated and dirty. She can straighten the secular and elegant style in an orderly manner, and should be the smartest woman in Xia Xiang's sight.

But often, women are too smart and may not be a good thing.

The dishes were all vegetarian dishes. Ji Rulan smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Xia***, I'm vegetarian. I don't know if you're used to it?"

Xia Xiangyixiao: "I care most about living comfortably and walking comfortably, and I have always been casual about food and clothing."

The food was exquisite, but the amount was very small, so it was a bit difficult for the three of them to eat. Zhang Li stood up and said, "I'll go to the back."

The guest followed the host, Ji Rulan nodded and responded. Xia Xiang couldn't stop Zhang Li, so he let Zhang Li turn around and leave. In the huge room, only him and Ji Rulan were left. The atmosphere was a bit subtle for a moment. The two sat opposite each other, like a family banquet, but they were strange men and women. In addition, the spring night, the fragrance of flowers, quiet and tranquil, creating a confused and ambiguous atmosphere.

Xia Xiang was not addicted to it. He was very sober and everything was an illusion.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Li left, Ji Rulan's tranquility disappeared. Although she was polite, she suddenly became cold and frosty. She asked Xia Xiang very directly and sharply...
