Late, seven o'clock..
County Party Committee Guest House.
Outside the ballroom, bursts of soothing music emerged from the cracks in the door and floated over the corridor for a long time. Dong Xuebin arrived a little late, and when he heard some ballroom dance music or something, he thought of Xie Huilan, and walked to the door even faster.
"Has it started?" Dong Xuebin looked at a group of Guest House people.
The staff recognized him at a glance" "Yes, Secretary Xiang just finished the opening dance. " The Power of Time and Wealth 367
Dong Xuebin pushed the door open and went in. The hall with flashing lights immediately came into view.
The ballroom was very dark. The lighting was not as sharp as the disco. It had a very soft, very light feeling. It was surrounded by soft sofas and chairs. Many leading cadres sat in a circle. They held red wine glasses in their hands and looked at the dance floor with a smile. Among them, Liang Chengpeng and Zhao Xinglong were also there, I guess. None of them know how to dance. Looking further inside, there are many people dancing together on the dance floor. Most of the leading cadres are not very good at dancing and their movements are a bit clumsy. However, their female dance partners are all dancing masters. They are basically from the county cultural troupe, and there are also some female cadres.
Don't just jump with others, right?
Dong Xuebin was filled with jealousy, thinking that he didn't dare to dance with Sister Xie yet, how could he let others take the lead?
"Isn't this Director Dong? "A middle-aged man sitting nearby suddenly tilted his head and said, "Didn't I see you during the opening? Just arrived?"
Dong Xuebin looked over and said with a smile, "Director Ding, um." The traffic jam just arrived. "
Ding Li smiled, said hello, and had no intention of chatting with him anymore.
This person's name is Ding Li. I heard that he is not very strict in his life style. He likes to deal with female cadres, especially beautiful female cadres. His job title is Director of the Finance Bureau, which is the same job level as Dong Xuebin. However, the weight of the job is obviously much greater than that of the Investment Bureau. He is in charge of money." But Dong Xuebin had never had any contact with him and spoke little. They only met and said hello, and did not have in-depth contact, because although Ding Li is Top Leader from the county government department, he was very close to Xiang Daofa, so Dong Xuebin did not want to have any friendship with him.
After saying hello to Director Liang, County Chief Zhao and other leading cadres he knew, Dong Xuebin quickly scratched his neck and continued searching.
"Hey" Sister Xie is sitting?
Not dancing?
Finally, Dong Xuebin found Xie Huilan in the dim ballroom. She was smiling on the sofa with her legs crossed and sipping red wine with a goblet in her hand. On her left was secretary Hu Silian, Xiang Daofa and Minister of the Propaganda Department Chen Tongbing are walking a few meters away on the right. It seems that only County Leaders has arrived and the others have not come. After observing for a while, "Dong Xuebin felt relieved. No one invited Xie Huilan to dance, and Sister Xie's level was there." There were not many people who had the courage to ask her to dance. They were all cadres who wanted to save face, and were afraid of being embarrassed if Xie Huilan refused.
Dong Xuebin looked relaxed, thinking that if he had known better, he would not have come." Turning around, he found an empty seat and sat down, lighting a cigarette.
On the dance floor, he saw Luo Haiting Sister Luo dancing with a young cadre Industry and Commerce Bureau.
The dance is elegant and the movements are skillful. It seems that Sister Luo often participates in such activities. Dong Xuebin was watching and learning. He also wanted to learn how to dance and then invite Xie Huilan, so he looked very seriously. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin noticed a few people, all cadres in their forties. It seemed that they were not there for dancing, and he didn't recognize any of them. The cadre squeezed the hand of Cultural Troupe, a lesbian, and danced his fingers as if he were still moving, as if he was rubbing the girl's hand. Ding Li was also one of them. At some point, he also danced and wrapped his arms around the waist of his female companion. He was very close to her and was talking and laughing with the girl.
Dong Xuebin is used to thinking bad things about people, so this had to make him think bad things. He couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the dance was really a mess.
Two minutes later, the song gradually ended, and a song with a slightly faster rhythm began to echo.
Several couples came down one after another, and some cadres went to invite others to dance.
Luo Haiting, who was walking down, saw Dong Xuebin at a glance. He smiled and walked up slowly, "Director, are you here? "There were some beads of sweat on her forehead. The Power of Time and Wealth 367
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Sister Luo dances so well. Can you teach me some other time?" "
Luo Haiting also likes to hear good words. He smiled when he heard the words and said, "I..." Just as I was about to speak, someone came over.
"Director Luo, can you give me a favor?" A cadre in his thirties smiled and extended his hand.
Luo Haiting took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, smiled and put his hand on the person's hand """, confessed to Dong Xuebin, and immediately went to the dance floor again.
Dong Xuebin was so happy, thinking that Sister Luo is quite popular? That's right, she is a really good dancer and not ugly. Although she is a little older, compared to other female cadres present, Luo Haiting is still very outstanding." No wonder so many people invited her. Oh, look. Look at others, and then look at myself, Dong Xuebin feels unbalanced, how come no one invites any of my buddies to dance? It's a pity that before my buddies came, I was thinking about how to refuse the invitation to dance, well, now I don't even have to refuse.
Just when he was feeling embarrassed, the corner of his eye suddenly moved.
Ding Li actually walked in the direction of Xie Huilan, stretched out his hand, palm up, "Hui Lan County Chief, can I ask you to dance?" "
The focus of the audience has always been on Xie Huilan. In the so-called dance, beautiful women naturally receive more attention, not to mention that Xie Huilan is County Chief. Her identity is there, can she dance, and who will she dance the first dance with? Many people around her are staring at her eagerly, just because of "touch" Xie Huilan's thoughts were unknown, so no one came forward first. In fact, there had to be eighteen rather than twenty people who wanted to invite County Chief Xie to dance. Firstly, they could use this opportunity to build a relationship with Xie Huilan and let the leader remember him. Secondly, dancing with Beautiful County Chief was a kind of enjoyment in itself.
Seeing Ding Li start to speak, more than a dozen eyes immediately turned to him.
Xiang Daofa and Chen Tongbing looked over with interest, as did Zhao Xinglong and Liang Chengpeng.
But Dong Xuebin was annoyed when he heard it. He didn't have a good impression of Ding Li at all. He just got so close to Cultural Troupe's lesbian and took advantage of her. What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Sister Xie? It doesn't matter if you are one of Xie Faction's people. If you are a Xiang Faction person, how dare you invite my Hui Lan to dance? ***How shameless! But Dong Xuebin also understands that it's just dancing and has nothing to do with factions. Xie Huilan was wearing black trousers and a woolen coat today, and her shoes were also black with high heels. It seemed that she was specially dressed for the dance, otherwise she wouldn't wear high heels.
She looked at Ding Li, smiled and put her goblet on the table with one hand.
Under the gaze of many people, Xie Huilan stood up gracefully and was about to dance with Ding Li.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebin didn't agree. At this time, he didn't care who he would throw away. He would never let Xie Huilan's small hands be pinched by Ding Li, so he strode up, stretched out his hand in the same posture as Ding Li, squeezed over, and said loudly, "County Chief Xie, are you honored to ask you to dance? "He knows how to dance, so he has to bite the bullet.
Dong Xuebin These words shocked many people.
Ding Li's expression changed and he almost cursed.
Hu Silian on the side almost laughed out loud when he heard this, thinking Dong Xuebin this is too much.
To be honest, Dong Xuebin's move was very unreasonable. He went to his grandma's house. He didn't invite him earlier and he didn't invite him later. He waited for Ding Li to invite him before he came up and used the same gesture. He really didn't give Ding Li face. Liang Chengpeng in the distance suddenly became happy. "This Little Dong has to cause something every time!" "Zhao Xinglong chuckled. In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Ding Li either.
Luo Haiting on the dance floor looked at Dong Xuebin dumbfounded. "I don't know what little Director Dong is doing. I've heard that Director Dong is very capable of offending people. Within a year of coming here, Yantai County has offended him one after another. The predecessor County Party Secretary, the current County Party Secretary and the two-term president Propaganda Department, etc., etc. Today Luo Haiting saw with his own eyes the grace of little Director Dong, known as the God of Plague. The rumors are indeed true.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and everyone looked over, wanting to see how County Chief Xie handled these two invitations. Normally, they should dance with the first inviter first. "First come, first served."
But Xie Huilan's answer made many people startled. She looked at Dong Xuebin funny, turned her head and smiled at Ding Li, "Director Ding, yesterday when Little Dong reported to me about work, she mentioned that we had an appointment. My first dance today, haha, I was so busy that I forgot about it. Sorry? """? "I chose Dong Xuebin who was invited a little later without thinking. Some people were not surprised. Some people took a deep breath. "County Chief Xie really gave Dong Xuebin face."
"It's okay." Ding Li was so embarrassed, he pretended to smile disapprovingly. The Power of Time and Wealth 367
Chen Tongbing frowned and looked at Dong Xuebin.
Luo Haiting also admired Director Dong's ability to offend people.
Dong Xuebin had long been used to being pointed at, so he didn't take it seriously at all. He stretched out his hands with a smile, and only Xie Huilan was in his eyes. Xie Huilan stepped forward with his high heels and placed his light little hand on Dong Xuebin's hand.
Dong Xuebin shook his hand slightly, "Thank you County Chief Xie for the compliment."
"Haha..." Xie Xilan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's my honor."
Watching Dong Xuebin holding Beautiful County Chief's hand and entering the dance floor. "Some people are jealous, but they also know that jealousy cannot come from it. There is no way, County Chief Xie is a time bomb. When life is hanging by a thread, "If you can risk your life to defuse the bomb like little Director Dong, County Chief Xie will definitely give you the same face." Thinking of this, many people feel balanced in their hearts.
