After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense…

Xiao Du didn't have such a big reputation at that time.

I didn't show up either.

He sent Zhu Shiyuan away and left the notebook behind.

Call Chi Xilu.

It rang for a while before I picked up the phone.

Zeng Li said softly, "Are you able to talk now?"

Chi Xilu walked out of the door.

"Convenient, you say."

"Did you tell Tang Ming in advance about the dinner party when you came when we first met?"

"No, I contacted him after I arrived."

Zeng Li didn't understand: "So you two came in together, did he pick you up? Or did you go to the office building to find him?"

If I remember correctly, the excuse was traffic jam.

Not to mention 2000, there would be no traffic jams even now.

Yes, why did he give such a lame excuse in the first place? Because everyone could tell it was just an excuse and wouldn't ask any more questions. If he had said he was in a meeting or something, that wouldn't have been appropriate either, as everyone else was at the dinner party, but he wasn't.

Obviously, he didn't want anyone to ask more questions.

It was just none of my business at the time, so I didn’t think much about it.

Chi Xilu answered quickly, "I checked the place myself. I contacted him when I arrived at the farm gate. He hadn't arrived yet, so I waited for him at the gate. I waited for him for nine minutes and forty-two seconds before I saw him. We briefly said hello and went in together. You know what happened next. After I left, I went to investigate your case and never met him again."

Chi Xilu added, "He told me at the time that he was delayed a bit by the meeting."

Zeng Li frowned more and more as she listened.

This is strange.

If this is the case, there are two possibilities, and the first possibility is quite contradictory.

He didn't want to join Lei Guofu's team and use the dinner party to get out of it, but without a certain foundation of trust and some kind of cooperation, how could Lei Guofu let him travel thousands of miles to attend that dinner party?

Second, he came back just for me that day.

Both of them were silent, and Chi Xilu waited for Zeng Li to speak.

"Do you know where Tang Ming works now?"

"The place you want me to go, Deputy Governor."

Seeing Zeng Li acting so abnormally today, Chi Xilu asked, "What happened?"

Zeng Li closed the notebook and said, "What could it be? I want to make a contribution, get a promotion, or go back to the capital."

Using Tang Ming as a scapegoat? Not a word he said was true.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, Chi Xilu didn't ask any more questions: "I'll hang up if you don't mind. I'm busy here."

"Wish you all the best."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li picked up the auction invitation next to her and looked at it for a while.

In fact, although there seem to be a lot of things going on, there are actually only a few people involved, and officials are just protecting each other.

Xiao Du sent a text message.

Zeng Li picked up the phone again.

"Zeng Li, I bought a house. Here's the address. If you're free tonight, please come over for dinner. If not, just go do your thing."

Zeng Li plays inside and lets Yi Xian come in.

Yi Xian didn't miss a chance and brought in seven folders: "Leader, these all need signatures."

Zeng Li forwarded the text message to Yi Xian and the center forward: "Xiao Du bought a house. Prepare some food and go to his place for dinner tonight."

He replied to Xiao Du with the word "go".

When Yi Xian closed the door, Zeng Li saw Xu Zhiyun sitting outside in a daze through the crack in the door.

He shook his head and said to himself, "I don't know how long I can hold it in."

The one driving was Yi Xian.

At the traffic light on the road, he took the time to turn around and said to Zeng Li: "Leader, every year on Xiao Yue and Xiao Yang's birthday, I prepare gifts for the two children in your name, as well as red envelopes for the New Year. The two children may be familiar with you."

This is because when they arrived at Xiao Du's house, the two children were very enthusiastic, but Zeng Li was confused.

Xu Zhiyun listened silently. Yi Xian was a really good secretary.

Zeng Li closed her eyes and gave a thumbs up.

Yi Xian smiled and continued driving.

When she saw Xiao Yang downstairs, Zeng Li called him.

Seriously, I've only seen it twice.

"Xiao Yang, come down to pick me up?"

Xiao Yang came down to buy things, not waiting for Zeng Li, and he didn't even know that Zeng Li would come.

"Sister Ali, you're here."

"My mom asked me to come down to buy something, and I didn't even know you were coming. If I had known you were coming, I would have worn the shoes you bought me. They're so cool."
