Chapter 693: The clouds will clear and the moon will appear!
Li Huaide could never have imagined that the excuse he had finally come up with was actually seen through by Jia Dongming. Facing Jia Dongming's question, Li Huaide showed an awkward expression on his face, and said to Jia Dongming a little embarrassedly: "Director Jia! It was Director Ruan from the Municipal Government Office who invited me to dinner, and asked me to invite you to come along as well."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Huaide said, he immediately showed a puzzled expression on his face. Who was this Director Ruan? Jia Dongming didn't know him at all. Why would the other party invite him to dinner through Li Huaide? Could it be related to the case he was investigating?
In this short moment, many thoughts flashed through Jia Dongming's mind. He asked Li Huaide with curiosity, "Director Li! I don't know this Director Ruan at all. Why did he invite you to dinner? And how did he know about our relationship?"

This question not only made Jia Dongming curious, but even Li Huaide was curious. After all, the relationship between him and Director Ruan could be described as casual acquaintances. The other party suddenly invited him to dinner and asked him to bring Jia Dongming along, which also made Li Huaide very puzzled.

Facing the question raised by Jia Dongming, Li Huaide did not intend to hide it. He said to Jia Dongming in a matter-of-fact manner: "Director Jia! Director Ruan first worked in the grain department. Because of work, I have had contact with him several times, but I have never had dinner together. Why did he invite us to dinner today? In fact, I don’t understand the reason."

After hearing Li Huaide's introduction and learning that Director Ruan once worked in the grain department, Jia Dongming immediately understood the other party's purpose of inviting him to dinner. Thinking of the case they were investigating, Jia Dongming glanced at his briefcase and asked Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! Did Director Ruan say that he would treat us to dinner there tonight?"

Just now, when Li Huaide told Jia Dongming that someone was inviting them to dinner in the evening, Li Huaide clearly felt from Jia Dongming's words that Jia Dongming was not willing to go to the appointment. Now seeing Jia Dongming very readily introducing the invitation, Li Huaide was confused.

However, when Director Ruan called him, he repeatedly asked him to bring Jia Dongming along. Now that Jia Dongming was willing to go, Li Huaide simply stopped worrying about why Jia Dongming suddenly changed his mind. He smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! I'll pick you up at 5:30 in the evening. Then we'll take my car and go to Emei Restaurant for dinner."

When Jia Dongming heard the time Li Huaide told him, he smiled and replied, "Okay! Director Li! I'll wait for you in front of the Security Department building at 5:30."

After saying goodbye to Li Huaide on the phone, Jia Dongming put the receiver on the desk, then took out the account book from his briefcase and started looking through it again.

Soon, Jia Dongming found a pinyin mark with an "r" in the account book, which clearly recorded that the person with this mark had taken more than 10,000 yuan and 23 small yellow croakers from Liu Jiangping over the years.

Seeing this record in the account book, Jia Dongming had a vague feeling that the person marked with the pinyin "r" might be Director Ruan who invited him to dinner tonight.

If everything was as Jia Dongming expected, in this account book, the money received by Director Ruan was only ranked second, and the person ranked first was a mysterious man represented by the pinyin of "j", and this mysterious man was most likely the ultimate boss behind this case.

With this speculation in his mind, Jia Dongming finally had a feeling of how to solve this case, and he was also looking forward to the dinner tonight.

At 5:30 in the evening, Jia Dongming finished his work, packed up briefly, and walked quickly to the Security Department building. He immediately saw the jeep parked in front of him. Li Huaide, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was waving at him enthusiastically. Seeing this, Jia Dongming walked up quickly, opened the door, got into the jeep, and asked Li Huaide with a smile: "Director Li! I was so busy just now that I forgot the time. I kept you waiting for a long time."

Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's words and said to him with a smile: "Director Jia! We just arrived at your security department as well."

The two of them drove away from the steel mill in a jeep under the curious gazes of many people. Qin Huairu, who was about to get off work, saw this scene and muttered to herself with a depressed look on her face: "Looking at this situation, Brother Dongming probably won't come back for dinner tonight. I don't know why these leaders have so many dinner parties every day?"

More than half an hour later, the jeep stopped in front of Emei Restaurant. Li Huaide saw the middle-aged man standing at the door of Emei Restaurant, immediately opened the door, walked out of the jeep quickly, and greeted the other party enthusiastically: "Hello! Director He! Sorry to have kept you waiting."

When the middle-aged man heard what Li Huaide said, he shook hands with Li Huaide and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Director Li! Director Ruan has invited many people tonight, and they are waiting for you inside now."

When Li Huaide heard what Director He said, he immediately smiled and introduced him to Director He: "Director He! Let me introduce you. This is the director of the Security Department of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Comrade Jia Dongming!"

Director He was Director Ruan's correspondent. Although he did not understand why Director Ruan invited Li Huaide and Jia Dongming to dinner tonight, he knew clearly that the person Director Ruan invited was actually Jia Dongming. The reason why Director Ruan invited Li Huaide was because he did not know Jia Dongming, so he invited Jia Dongming through Li Huaide.

When Director He heard Li Huaide's introduction and learned that the middle-aged man in front of him was Jia Dongming, whom Director Ruan wanted to invite, he quickly stretched out his hands and greeted Jia Dongming very enthusiastically: "Director Jia! I have heard of your name for a long time, and today I finally meet you in person."

Jia Dongming felt the enthusiasm of Director He when he heard his words, and immediately shook hands with him. He said modestly to Director He, "Director He! Please don't say that. Our job is to ensure the safe production of the steel mill. We are not comparable to you, the leader of the municipal government."

Director He was very pleased with Jia Dongming's polite words. He greeted Li Huaide and Jia Dongming enthusiastically, "Director Li! Director Jia! Director Ruan is already waiting in the box. Let's go in!"
