The third day of the Lunar New Year.
The thumping roar of the fireworks woke Dong Xuebin up. He rubbed his dark eyes and sat up from the bed. He got out of bed listlessly to wash up. After breakfast, Dong Xuebin slapped his forehead in the living room with a wry smile, thinking about the embarrassing scene last night. I'm afraid the relationship with Xie Huilan is over. What about her savior? He did such a shameful thing with her stockings. No matter how good-tempered he is, he still has to be angry.
what to do? what to do? what to do?
After thinking about it all morning, Dong Xuebin finally figured out the answer, what should I do? There is no way to wait for Sister Xie to settle the score with you.
At early eleven o'clock at noon, Dong Xuebin was going downstairs to buy some firecrackers to play with and release his depressed mood. But just as he picked up his bag and was about to go out, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he looked at the caller ID, Dong Xuebin's face was suddenly startled, and then his face turned bitter. It was Xie Huilan's phone number. Yesterday, she might not be able to expose her face to face because of her face. Now is she going to settle the score in the future? Do you want to ask yourself about stockings? But, what do you say to yourself? The Power of Time and Wealth 142
Accept it or not? Accept it or not?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Dong Xuebin answered the phone and said cautiously, "Hello, Sister Xie?"
"Little Dong, are you free now? My car is parked at the door of your community. Let's have a meal together, okay?"
Dong Xuebin's heart skipped a beat, are you going to ask me to settle the score in person?
"...Little Dong? Are you listening?"
"Ah, yes, um, don't you still have a fever?"
"I've had a long sleep and I'm fine now. I'll wait for you at the door, okay?"
"Uh, okay, I'll go downstairs right away, go downstairs right away."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin was going crazy. Sister Xie didn't bring someone with him, right? But then you have to go too. After holding my hair and walking back and forth in the house several times, Dong Xuebin finally gritted her teeth and said to herself, "I love you so much." I picked up my bag and went downstairs to the entrance of the community. Dong Xuebin has decided what to do with Central Leaders's underwear. This matter is so bad that it can be considered a political incident. Sister Xie can scold and hit whenever he wants. He will never fight back or talk back. Let Xie Huilan vent his anger. After all, he is too unreasonable.
outside the community.
There was a black Audi A6L parked on the side road, and Xie Huilan was sitting in the driver's seat, as if she was the only one.
When things came to a close, Dong Xuebin felt guilty, and his pace slowed down again, and he moved over there with difficulty.
Looking at the passes under the windshield, this Audi should be a vehicle for the Xie Huilan unit. The official vehicles of party and government agencies have been reformed. Some places strictly require government official vehicles to be under 180,000 yuan and with a displacement of less than 1.8l. However, how can a place like Central Propaganda Department also follow this specification? It is absolutely necessary to have a few mid- to high-end matching cars, because it is the leader's face. Of course, it is also possible that this is Xie Huilan's private car, but the probability is unlikely, because what a political center like Capital City needs most is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Even if you have the financial strength, you must be careful when buying a private car. The impact, let alone the Xie Huilan level, is that there are some Zhengchu Level officials at the deputy department level in the Capital City agency, and there are also many people who commute by bicycle. No one wants to stumble on this.
Tens of seconds later, Xie Huilan seemed to see Dong Xuebin from the car and pressed the window glass, "What's wrong with your foot?"
Dong Xuebin really wanted to tell her that he had a strange disease that made him unable to walk, and could he be allowed to go home, but looking at Xie Huilan, Dong Xuebin secretly said that what was supposed to come would still come, biting his back molars., and immediately quickened his pace, "It's okay, it's okay, my ankle is a little cramped, maybe it was the wind last night." After thinking about it, he circled around to the other side, hesitated, opened the door and got into the passenger seat, then lowered his head with a guilty look on his face and stopped talking.
Come on, scold me, ask me about my stockings
Dong Xuebin was mentally prepared to face Xie Huilan's questioning.
"...Little Dong, fasten your seat belt."
Dong Xuebin didn't bother, but turned his head slightly to look at her, "Thank you... Director Xie, please criticize me." After temporarily changing his words, he did not dare to call Sister Xie anymore. The Power of Time and Wealth 142
Xie Huilan looked at him, "... Why are you criticizing you?"
Dong Xuebin was extremely embarrassed, "Yesterday... yesterday was... oh... I was really..."
Unexpectedly, Xie Huilan actually laughed and said, "You saved my life yesterday and took care of me every step of the way. It's too late for me to thank you. Why are you criticizing you? Little Dong, why did you suddenly say such a thing? Huh?" After a pause, Xie Huilan narrowed his eyes and smiled, stroking his hair from his temples and said, "Also, why are you called Director Xie again? Sister Xie sounds so nice, right?"
Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment, "But I..."
Xie Huilan looked at him strangely, smiled slightly and said, "What? What happened? Tell me?"
After listening to Xie Huilan's words and seeing Xie Huilan's attitude, Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised and happy. Did Xie Huilan really think that the thing on the stockings yesterday was spit? Impossible, the phlegm looked like that, and her expression yesterday... No need to ask, Xie Huilan must know, 100% aware, but now she seems to be pretending not to know anything, let me go, Sister Xie, what does this mean? No further investigation? Dong Xuebin quickly said, "Uh, it's nothing, nothing happened."
"... Is everything okay?"
Dong Xuebin said very definitely, "It's okay"
Xie Huilan smiled and hummed, and there was nothing strange about his expression, "As long as everything is fine, let's go to dinner, Wangfu Restaurant, okay?"
Dong Xuebin said hello. Since Sister Xie didn't mention yesterday's charm, why should he mention it again? And looking at Xie Huilan's attitude, it seems that he has not alienated himself because of the stockings thing. Although he doesn't understand what Xie Huilan, Central Leaders, is thinking in his heart, but... haha, at least he has escaped. Hmm, hmm, look at you, Central Leaders is Central Leaders, how magnanimous is it?
Khan, but this doesn't seem to be a matter of magnanimity?
Audi drove towards Wangfu Restaurant.
Today Xie Huilan is wearing a small black women's suit. The suit is tailor-made to be very thin and has a semi-casual style.
Dong Xuebin fastened his seat belt, and quickly glanced at Xie Huilan's black high-heeled shoes out of the corner of his eye. He saw Nylon Stockings on her feet, and quickly withdrew his gaze, his heart pounding wildly. What happened happened after all. No matter how casual Xie Huilan was, Dong Xuebin's face turned red and hot when he thought that she might still be thinking about the thing on the stockings. Dong Xuebin was embarrassed to look over at Xie Huilan, his eyes wandering around the car. That little appearance was several times more reserved than yesterday.
There's nothing I can do, the handle is in someone's hands.
"... Haha, what are you looking for?" Xie Huilan glanced sideways at him, with a smile on his lips.
"No." Dong Xuebin pointed randomly at the pile of passes under the car window. Some were from the municipal party committee, some were from the Central Propaganda Department, some were from other ministries and commissions of the central government, and there were even many Family Compound's. "... Ahem, look at this."
"Oh, haha, I often go there to do errands, so I have a lot of passes."
Doing business? What do you Propaganda Department do on Capital City Municipal Party Committee Courtyard? What should I do on Ministry of Finance? Dong Xuebin felt strange, but it was hard to ask too many questions.
Half an hour later.
In this extremely embarrassing atmosphere for Dong Xuebin, the car drove into the Wangfu Restaurant parking lot.
Wangfu Restaurant is one of several five-star hotels Capital City yesterday morning, with seven small multi-function rooms and various Conference Room. The business center can provide multiple language translation services and day and night secretarial services. The dining facilities include Western-style Palm Coffee Shop, Italian-style Roman Hall, German-style Bavarian Hall, Chinese-style Yuexiu Hall and Chaojiang Spring Hall, poolside bar, fantasy hall Jing Lounge, etc., there are even more services, such as child care, travel services, valuables safe at the front desk, shoe shine service, bus or car rental service, foreign currency exchange, ATM machine, room service, laundry service, wake-up service, medical support, and so on. The Power of Time and Wealth 142
As soon as the car stopped, Dong Xuebin, who was worried, hurriedly wanted to get out of the car and open the door for Xie Huilan, hoping to show off.
However, the doorman who ran over quickly from a distance was still a staff member, but he didn't give him a chance to show off. The young man glanced at the Audi car's number, walked up and opened the door for Xie Huilan with a respectful look on his face. A young man following behind held a small book in his hand and spoke quickly into the intercom. Dong Xuebin thought it was a normal service and didn't take it seriously. He got out of the car with Xie Huilan, but at this time another car stopped next to it, but the two staff members did not open the door for them and stood motionless.
Now when it comes to Dong Xuebin is speechless, what's going on? Unexpected service? Most of the people who can come to Wangfu Restaurant are rich or noble. Even if Xie Huilan comes here often, even if Xie Huilan is Central Leaders, you won't be like this, right?
Xie Huilan seemed to be used to it, "...Little Dong, let's go in."
"Hey" Dong Xuebin quickly followed up, deliberately delaying Xie Huilan by half a body.
Xie Huilan looked at it, waved and said with a smile, "You are so reserved, and you are not my secretary. Can you walk side by side with me?"
Dong Xuebin hesitated and had no choice but to agree, and walked side by side with Xie Huilan very nervously.
At this time, as soon as the two of them entered the hotel door, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to them and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Ms. Xie, you are very welcome. Some people are welcome from a distance, and some are not welcomed from afar." From that look, it seemed that they came out specially to greet Xie Huilan. The call from the staff just now was probably made to him.
Xie Huilan smiled and shook hands with him, "Manager Zhao, what kind of boss am I? You are deliberately trying to treat me badly."
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Haha, I don't dare. Yuexiu's private room is still reserved for you. Today is..."
Xie Huilan waved his hand, "I'm having a meal with my friends today. I won't go there. Let's go... Bamboo Garden."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After making a phone call, Manager Zhao exchanged a few words with Xie Huilan, and finally called two waiters, whispered something to them, and finally left. The two waiters respectfully led the way.
No matter how stupid Dong Xuebin is, he can still see that the treatment Wangfu Restaurant gives to Xie Huilan is obviously different from others. Is it true that I have so much energy when I go to Sister Xie? As soon as the car sign entered the hotel, the manager or deputy manager rushed down to greet him? I guess their West District committee secretary doesn't have this kind of treatment, right?
Bamboo Garden.
This is not a private room, nor is it a particularly formal occasion. Several partitions made of rattan and bamboo are scattered around. The chairs and tables are all woven with vines. There is a winding gravel road on the ground, and at the end is a green pool of water, which has a leisurely atmosphere of nature.
After several plates of light dishes were served, Xie Huilan held up the goblet with a smile, "I know your company has regulations, but this is red wine, so it shouldn't exceed the limit. Haha, come on, let me toast you first. Thank you for coming to the rescue, and thank you for taking good care of me."
Dong Xuebin blushed, raised his glass and said with a smile, "You're welcome, I should."
After drinking, Xie Huilan let Dong Xuebin pick up food and eat, chatting about some trivial topics between the parents.
"Little Dong, why aren't you with your parents during the Chinese New Year?"
"My mother is at Beihe Province. She is busy with work, so the Thirtieth of the Lunar Year came back and stayed for two days."
"What do your parents do?"
"My mother taught in the countryside and was a Chinese teacher. My father... passed away."
"... I'm sorry."
It was only now that Dong Xuebin felt completely relaxed, knowing that Xie Huilan was not trying to settle the score with her about the stockings incident this time, but wanted to thank herself for saving her.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebin saw a middle-aged man in the corridor not far away. He looked familiar, as if he had seen him on TV. He thought and thought, and thought, and by the way, it was Capital City, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, director Public Security Bureau, Feng Xueliang, a majestic middle-aged man in his fifties. There might be a private room over there, and he was walking out of the corridor.
Deputy Bu Level and senior official Dong Xuebin saw this for the first time in real life, and they were really impressive.
Just as he was thinking about it, Director Feng on the opposite side casually glanced this way. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head with a smile and walked towards him.
Dong Xuebin was shocked, I x, what is this?
"Hui Lan Haha" Under Dong Xuebin's surprised gaze, Feng Xueliang came to their table with a kind look, "Why do you have time to come to the palace during the Chinese New Year?"
Xie Huilan just saw him, stood up with a smile, and shook hands with him with one hand without being arrogant or humble, "I'm here to have a meal with my friends today. Uncle Feng is celebrating the New Year. How is Auntie's health?"
Feng Xueliang looked at Dong Xuebin who also stood up, smiled at him, and then looked at Xie Huilan and said, "She still has the old problem of high blood pressure. She doesn't listen to her to control her diet. No, she is eating a lot of meat and fish in the private room again. I am too lazy to pay attention to her now, haha, okay, you can eat."
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "I'll go over and toast later, but you can keep some food in your stomach."
"Haha, can I make you drink and lie down? Okay, come on."
Dong Xuebin I was so dumbfounded a long time ago. The Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee member smiled at me? Really smiled at me? Sister Xie is too proud, right?
Dong Xuebin knew that Xie Huilan had a background, otherwise he would not have been a deputy director under the Central Propaganda Department at such a young age. But with the pile of passes in the Audi, the special treatment from the palace, and the friendly smiles of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members, he only now discovered that this Xie Huilan not only had a background, but also seemed to have a huge background.
