Banquet Hall.
The one who came in was naturally Xie Huilan.
Dong Xuebin As soon as his wife appeared, everyone was shocked.
No one here has seen what Secretary Dong's wife looks like, but they have all guessed that, for example, Secretary Dong is average-looking, and his wife may not be that beautiful either. She should be a very virtuous housewife, or some people have guessed that Secretary Dong is of such a high rank at such a young age., finding a wife will definitely not be shabby, she should be quite beautiful. However, after seeing Secretary Dong's wife, no one expected that she is so beautiful. Your mother is simply stunning, and why does Secretary Dong's wife seem to be many years older than Secretary Dong?
It doesn't match! The Power of Time and Wealth 1938
The two of them look so mismatched sitting together!
No matter their age, temperament, or appearance, if these two couples were walking on the street, no one would think that they were husband and wife!
The person leading the table was also surprised.
Dong Xuebin began to introduce, "This is my lover, Xie Huilan."
Xie Huilan smiled at several cadres and said, "Sorry, I'm a little late." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of Dong Xuebin, "I'll punish myself with one drink, haha."
"No, no, no." Zhang Dongfang's wife suddenly stopped her, "We are here early. You just got off the plane and rushed here. It's weird that you came early. It's not your fault. You don't need to drink. The alcohol content is quite high."
"Yes, Mrs. Dong." Meng Hanmei said.
Chang Lin smiled and said, "Don't drink, otherwise Secretary Dong will have to settle accounts with us, haha."
Who dares to make County Party Secretary's lover drink wine as a penalty, especially when he is the host of this meal.
Xie Huilan finally put down the cup and looked at Dong Xuebin, "Won't you introduce it to me?"
"I almost forgot." Dong Xuebin said, "This is Zhang Dongfang County Chief Zhang and his wife, this is Wei Zhixuan Secretary Wei..."
Xie Huilan smiled and greeted them one by one, and they were considered acquaintances. After finishing, Xie Huilan said, "Then let's use the chopsticks. Haha, the food will be cold if we don't eat it." The strength in her bones was revealed again. It was Dong Xuebin's line, but she took it away.
But as husband and wife are one, it's okay.
Only then did everyone eat the food, chatting and laughing.
Zhang Dongfang's wife seemed to particularly like Xie Huilan. After taking two bites of the dish, she held Xie Huilan's hand. "How old are your siblings this year?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Thirty-one."
I thought Xie Huilan looked older, so Zhang Dongfang's wife asked. After all, Dong Xuebin was only twenty-six or seventeen years old. She felt that Xie Huilan should be the same age as Dong Xuebin, and the difference was within one or two years. Unexpectedly, Xie Huilan is really over thirty, four or five years older than Dong Xuebin. In big cities, this kind of situation is rare, but it is not uncommon, but in a small place like Jiaolin County, the influence of traditional concepts is still relatively deep, let alone five years older. Even if the girl's birthday is several months older than the boy's, sometimes the family can't accept it.
"What do my siblings do for a living?" County Party Deputy Secretary Wei Zhixuan's wife also asked curiously. That's what it's like for a lady to be diplomatic. There are some things that only they can ask conveniently, and it's not easy for others to ask.
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "I am also Civil Servants." The Power of Time and Wealth 1938
"Huh? Where do you work?" Mrs. Wei asked again.
"At the other end of the Yangtze River." Xie Huilan did not elaborate.
Zhang Dongfang's wife yelled. "That's far enough. You two have been living in separate places? Why didn't you ask Secretary Dong to transfer you here?"
Zhang Dongfang didn't say anything either. He brought this up in the afternoon.
Xie Huilan said very talkatively, "Basically we have been living separately. When I was at Capital City, he was at the grassroots level. When I was at the local level, he was at Capital City. We can't see each other a few times a year. Haha, we are being transferred. I can't come here for the time being. My work situation there is more complicated and I can't live without him."
Mrs. Zhang said distressedly, "How about we Lao Zhang help us ask? Is your child just born? Are you taking it with you? You can't live without your father around."
Xie Huilan said a few words, then glanced at Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin didn't look at her. It wasn't that he was hiding it intentionally. Everyone had previously assumed that Xie Huilan was definitely not as high as Dong Xuebin. After all, Hui Lan was relatively too young. That's why there were misunderstandings between Zhang Dongfang and his wife again and again, but Dong Xuebin didn't explain anything. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know. It doesn't matter, Dong Xuebin is eating deliciously.
Several ladies chatted together.
Several leaders, Dong Xuebin and Wei Zhixuan Sun Changzhi, were also chatting together.
Of course, no matter which side, many topics revolve around Xie Huilan, and the same goes for Civil Servants and his family who are eating below. There is no way, Secretary Dong's wife made an amazing appearance, and she is Top Leader's wife, which naturally caused a lot of discussions and topics.
"So beautiful."
"Secretary Dong is awesome."
"Yes, such a beautiful lady shows her face wherever she goes."
"Hey, look at that yellow-faced woman in my family. She has the heart to die. People can't be compared with others... there's no comparison."
"Mrs. Dong has a good temperament. If you look at her speech and behavior, at worst she has the demeanor of a Fuchu Level cadre."
People at a few tables in the distance were talking secretly, glancing at Mrs. Secretary Dong from time to time, and everyone was filled with emotion.
Dong Xuebin, who was eating and drinking, also took in everyone's expressions. Knowing that Hui Lan had earned face for himself again, he felt very proud. His wife's beauty was This is something that Dong Xuebin is very proud of, otherwise he would not have hurriedly took out his wallet to show Teacher Jiang Hui Lan's photo when he first met his university teacher. He felt very proud.
Five minutes later.
Xie Huilan pulled out, touched Dong Xuebin, and then said to the table, "I'll leave with my lover for a while, and I'll be back soon."
Dong Xuebin had no choice but to follow him out.
Naturally, no one would say anything. The Power of Time and Wealth 1938
Outside, Dong Xuebin asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Huilan pointed to the side and said with a smile, "Come on, follow me to sit at that table in the city. I've been out for a long time, and they are still waiting for me. After all, Municipal Party Secretary is here and came to meet me specially. All of us Xiaxing City are also in that house. It wouldn't be appropriate for me not to go back."
Dong Xuebin frowned and said, "Should I go too?"
"Why can't you go?" Xie Huilan looked at him.
Dong Xuebin said, "You don't know, my relationship with the city is not very good, otherwise you could have gone, I am too lazy to see them, annoying."
Xie Huilan said, "When did your relationship with the leader get better? Haha, you Sister Xie are used to it. Come on, my little husband, the city knows what you are doing Celebration Banquet here, so it would be inappropriate for you not to go. Besides, I have to introduce you to them, otherwise it will seem like we are deliberately hiding it."
