Because she was not familiar with everyone present, she turned sideways to Cong Rui and asked doubtfully: "How did you meet him?"

Xu Ling refers to Hu Pingtao.

Cong Rui briefly talked about her relationship with Su Xiaolin and explained: "She is my high school classmate and they are married."

Xu Ling raised her hand and smoothed the hair beside her ears, and said with a sarcastic smile: "I didn't see it! This person's luck is really hard to say. For an auxiliary police officer to find such a beautiful wife, it's like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.

.”

These words were full of provocation. As soon as they were spoken, the expressions of everyone except Hu Pingtao suddenly changed, and all eyes were focused on Xu Ling.

Su Xiaolin reacted the fastest. She stared at Xu Ling with unkind eyes: "What do you mean?"

Xu Ling had no intention of explaining or covering up, and said coldly: "I just feel it's not worth it for you. Marry a man, wear clothes and eat. I have known him earlier than you, but I will never choose to be with him."

.”

Cong Rui touched Xu Ling lightly with her arm and asked puzzledly: "Why? Officer Hu is a very good officer! He has a high degree of education and is a police officer."

Xu Ling curled her lips, but was still sarcastic in her words: "Don't be fooled by him. He said he is a policeman, so he is a policeman? Let me tell you, there is a big difference between regular police officers and auxiliary policemen. Policemen are serious.

The former national civil servants and auxiliary police officers are only temporary hires. In other words, when the higher-ups will no longer want you, it is just a matter of one sentence."

Hearing this, Su Xiaolin understood it in general. She looked at Xu Ling, then turned to look at Hu Pingtao, and said funny and angrily: "She knows you very well!"

There is something strange about this saying, and it is a common problem among all wives in the same situation.

Hu Pingtao quickly explained: "I have only met her once, really only once. If you don't believe it, come to our office another day and I will take you to see Mrs. Zheng and let her talk to you.

Is that what happened?"

Su Xiaolin glared at him fiercely: "I didn't expect you to even let the old lady go."

Although it was a joke, Hu Pingtao felt his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't explain clearly.

He could only smile wryly.

Across the dining table, Cong Rui said to Xu Ling with a puzzled face: "Hu Pingtao is not an auxiliary police officer! He is the director of the Eryuan Road Police Station."

Xu Ling was surprised, slowly frowned, turned sideways, and looked at him carefully.

Ding Jian likes this kind of occasion the most, it is the most suitable for him to make trouble: "The director Tiger is just a temporary substitute. He will soon be transferred to the bureau. Both the criminal police team and the anti-narcotics team are vying for him. Within two or three years, he will

I will definitely be promoted to captain."

He then added grumblingly: "Speaking of which, I have been a police officer for so many years. Tiger came later, and I can't compare to him. This guy's promotion speed is simply faster than a rocket. If this continues, department-level cadres will not be able to compete with him."

What a dream!”

Xu Ling's eyelids twitched slightly, and she forced herself to calm down and snorted: "Really?"

In fact, when she walked into the private room and saw Hu Pingtao, she was surprised at first, and then felt unspeakable regret in her heart.

Hu Pingtao is a real sportsman.

A few years ago, the last time they met Zheng Yuxian, Xu Ling had developed a crush on him. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, appearance is very important. Especially a handsome young man like Hu Pingtao, who looks good no matter where he goes.

It's easy to become the focus.

Time has forged him like an iron hammer. Hu Pingtao's figure has become stronger than before, and his voice is full of masculine charm. He is well-dressed and looks more mature in the way he raises his hands and feet.

Xu Ling's heart beat a little faster. She suddenly felt that her decision back then was a mistake. If she had another chance, she would choose the man in front of her without hesitation.

This has nothing to do with money or power, it is purely out of your own liking, and only then can love be possible.

Mothers are all experienced... On the issue of choosing a spouse, Xu Ling followed her mother's advice and chose her current husband.

He is a public official, a business editor, and his family is quite wealthy. When he first got married, he was pretty good to himself. But then he gradually changed. He didn't do housework, and spent all day either looking at his phone or playing on the computer, or just following his friends.

Hanging out outside.

Sometimes Xu Ling couldn't stand it and just said a few words to him, but her husband slapped him back.

Xu Ling is a good-looking person with a somewhat cowardly personality, so she endured it.

As the saying goes - when it comes to domestic violence, there is only one time, or countless times.

Beating is addictive. Especially after the wife is beaten, she swallows her anger and dares not speak out. She always wants to compromise and maintain her life... No matter the thoughts or actual actions, it gives the husband the reason and motivation to continue the violence.

After the child was born, Xu Ling was beaten more frequently.

Her husband dislikes her for being ugly.

Beautiful women are raised. After being beaten and unkempt, and busy all day long, even a fairy will turn into a yellow-faced woman.

According to her own experience, Xu Ling could tell at a glance that Su Xiaolin lived a happy life.

Hu Pingtao kept holding her hand, and she kept hugging Hu Pingtao's arm. It looked like the two had been married for a long time, but their relationship was very intimate.

Xu Ling's heart was filled with jealousy, and she felt more and more regretful.

She never expected that Hu Pingtao was actually a real police officer.

And after listening to what Ding Jian said just now, it shouldn't seem like he was deliberately deceiving himself.

There is no need. I am not familiar with these people. Is it necessary for him to say those words to irritate me?

However, things were so unbelievable. Although Xu Ling repeatedly told herself to relax and be more open-minded, the words "department-level cadres" mentioned by Ding Jian kept lingering in her mind and she couldn't get rid of them.

After a long silence, Xu Ling couldn't bear it anymore. She glanced at Hu Pingtao, lowered her voice and asked Cong Rui, who was sitting next to her: "Is he really the director of the police station?"

Cong Rui nodded, raised her finger and pointed at Su Xiaolin: "She is my high school classmate, and they are husband and wife."

The big stone in Xu Ling's heart felt heavier and heavier. She took a deep breath, quickly changed the subject, and asked: "Didn't you invite me out for dinner? It seems that you have already finished eating. What is going on?"

Congrui looked serious: "There are some things I want to ask you in person."

Xu Ling's eyes flashed slightly.

She was very familiar with Cong Rui, but she had never seen Cong Rui speak to her in such a serious tone.

"What's wrong with you today?" Xu Ling had something in her heart and forced a smile.

Cong Rui stared at her and said in a calm tone: "You have always told me how good your husband is to you, taking care of all the housework and often cooking."

Xu Ling replied smoothly: "Yes! What's wrong?"

Curui frowned: "But when I went out to play last time, I asked your daughter, and she said that your man never cooks at home and often beats you."

When Xu Ling heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly returned to normal. She laughed twice: "You...you heard it wrong..."

She then spoke very quickly: "Children are talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Cong Rui's face turned ugly: "Can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing? How old is your daughter! How old is a child to lie? Could it be that you taught her all this?"

Xu Ling was speechless in response to the question. She simply gave up and her whole face suddenly collapsed: "Cong Rui, I came here as you are a friend. But when I came, you asked me this and that, what on earth do you want to do?"

?”

Congrui suppressed the anger in her heart: "This is what I want to say. I have always regarded you as a friend, but you lied to me and said that you found a good man and had a happy family. If you hadn't been beside me all the time, I wouldn't have

I will divorce Mingcheng. You...you liar!"

Xu Ling retorted without thinking: "Huh! This is so weird. What does it have to do with me whether you divorce or not? Did I ask you to divorce? Or I pointed a gun at you and forced you to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to marry your man.

Going through divorce procedures?"

Cong Rui was really angry. He raised his finger and pointed at her and said bitterly: "Although you never said you wanted me to divorce, you have been cheating on me. You are often beaten by your man, and your life is not easy at all."

.”

Xu Ling sneered and said: "What does it have to do with you whether my life is good or not? Congrui, think about it with your own conscience, how do I treat you? I have been with you since your divorce. I still have the job you have now."

I helped you with the introduction. I'm good enough to you, but I didn't expect you to say this about me... It's true that you know people but don't know their hearts, and your good intentions are not rewarded."

She spoke very fast, and Cong Rui couldn't resist the quarrel. She was so anxious that she immediately forgot what she had thought of. She couldn't say anything for a while, so she could only point at Xu Ling, with a look on her face: "You...you

…”

"What am I? Did I say something wrong?" Xu Ling was unreasonable.

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and waved lightly towards Cong Rui, comforting him: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly if you have anything to say."

He then turned to Xu Ling: "It seems that you are also a eloquent person. Everything that is good has changed when it comes to you. You really turn the black into white and the plaintiff into the defendant."

Xu Ling crossed her arms across her chest and glanced at Hu Pingtao with disdain: "You are worthy of being a police officer. You can't live without your profession."

Hu Pingtao didn't care about this. He looked at Xu Ling: "There is something strange to me - why would a person with such a selfish desire like you be so enthusiastic about helping Congrui introduce a job?"

Xu Ling had already given up her life and sat there looking at him coldly without saying a word.

Hu Pingtao continued: "Before you came, Cong Rui had already talked about what happened between you and her. You not only introduced her to a job, but also introduced her to a boyfriend. Haha, on the surface it seems that you are indeed an enthusiastic person.

But I don’t think so, so I asked Cong Rui to call you and ask you out.”

Xu Ling was wary: "What do you want to do?"

"Some issues must be judged by seeing real people." Hu Pingtao said frankly: "I didn't expect that the person Cong Rui was talking about was you. Let me make it clear first! I didn't mean anything against you, I just discussed the matter as it happened."

Xu Ling leaned back, crossed her legs, and said in a cold tone: "Now that I have met the real person, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Hu Pingtao put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I was a little unsure before, but now that I have met you, I have made two judgments."

"First, your purpose of introducing a job to Cong Rui and letting her join your company as a financial officer is not simple."
