Obviously, Tong Xiaoxuan was very surprised that Xu Yilong could pick food for him. She looked at Xu Yilong puzzledly and said, "You have been in Pingyang for a short time, but you have made great progress. You have become more thoughtful, which surprised me. Tell me, how many women have you met in Pingyang? Are you so considerate to them? Or did they teach you?"

Why are we talking about private matters in this situation?

Xu Yillong was speechless for a while.

He put his chopsticks on the table and said, "What are you talking about? Heaven and earth are my witnesses. Am I, Xu Yilong, that kind of person?"

This attitude is already very cowardly. If Tong Xiaoxuan doesn't appreciate it, Xu Yillong might not be able to hold it back. No matter what, he is a man of family background, and when a young man gets angry, he can be very powerful.

Tong Xiaoxuan was quite tactful. He took a bite of the dish and changed the subject, "Well, Pingyang is a small place, but the dishes are delicious..."

Several people ate and drank, and after a few glasses of wine, their faces turned red.

Tong Xiaoxuan asked Li Lin under the influence of alcohol, "How many people are there in your family? What do they do? Are you the county magistrate or the county party secretary now? What are your plans for the future?"

This is to see Li Lin's true nature from his conversation. After all, the truth comes out when drunk, so most of the time, he makes friends in the drinking place.

Li Lin said, "There are only my aunt and I at home."

Tong Xiaoxuan asked, "Where are your parents?"

Xu Yilong knew something about Li Lin's background. He was afraid that if he asked too much, Li Lin would be sad. He was about to persuade Tong Xiaoxuan not to dig into the matter, but Li Lin spoke.

Li Lin said, "I have never seen my parents. My aunt told me that they passed away when I was very young..."

Or an orphan?

Can a child who has no parental companionship since childhood have a healthy personality?

She nodded and asked, "What are your thoughts on future work? Do you want to go to the province or Yanjing?"

Li Lin smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it. Let's just do our current job well first."

When they first met, Li Lin didn't want to talk too much. It would be a joke to mention his ambitions in front of someone he didn't know well.

Tong Xiaoxuan felt that Li Lin was honest, but in her eyes, the word "honest" was not a compliment but an insult.

It seems that he is really hiding his incompetence. The depth of his concealment shows that he is very cunning and hard to see through! Such people are terrible.

If it is true, it is even more tragic. In fact, people are narrow-minded and short-sighted. They can only see what is in front of them. Even if they are given an important task, they cannot shoulder it.

Tong Xiaoxuan was a little disappointed and said lightly, "Oh, you are pragmatic... Wenwen said you are ambitious... It turns out that you just want to govern a county well..."

Is it easy to govern a county well?

Facing Tong Xiaoxuan's contemptuous tone.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if I say I want to be the top leader of Yanjing, does that make me look ambitious?"

This is a teasing, a joke.

But Tong Xiaoxuan was choked and couldn't speak.

The three of them looked at Tong Xiaoxuan.

Tong Xiaoxuan tactically picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking about how to refute.
