Central Party School, in the dormitory.
"Xuebin, Xuebin." Roommate Han Xinghua called him, "It's time to get up."
"Brother Han?" Dong Xuebin opened his eyes drowsily and looked at his watch, "Hey, it's already past eight o'clock?"
Han Xinghua smiled and said, "I have to go to the library in the morning. There are no classes today, so there is no need to worry."
"Thank you, Brother Han. If you hadn't called me, I would have had to sleep until noon." Dong Xuebin immediately got out of bed, got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed. In the past two days, he had been busy with the matter of proposing, and he sneaked out every night, so he never had a good sleep. He came back from Sister Xie's house very late yesterday, and his dreams at night were all about marriage. Dong Xuebin was so happy that he fell asleep in the early morning, so sleepy.

After finishing these, it's almost nine o'clock.
Dong Xuebin was about to go to the library with everyone when he suddenly received a call from Xie Huilan.
"Where are you in the dormitory?" Xie Huilan asked.
"Well, I just came downstairs, what happened?"
"There's no class today. I've asked for leave for you. Can you go out with Sister Xie?"
"Hey, why are you asking for leave? If it affects my evaluation, I won't be able to graduate."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I know their vice-principal, and the principal also has a good relationship with my parents. It doesn't matter if I take two days off."
"Where to go?"
"Let's talk about it after we meet, at the door."
"Okay, then just wait for me."
The entrance to the party school compound.
Xie Huilan was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man next to the guard room. The middle-aged man was about fifty years old. Dong Xuebin recognized him at a glance. He was the vice principal Central Party School who had spoken on stage in the auditorium during their opening ceremony. His surname seemed to be Wen. Because the principal of the party school has other duties and the focus is not here, the actual work of Central Party School is handled by Vice Principal Wen.
As soon as Dong Xuebin came over, both of them looked at him.
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, let me introduce to you. This is my fiancé Dong Xuebin."
Dong Xuebin quickly held it with both hands, "Principal Wen, hello."
"How about you, young man." Principal Wen chuckled, "I've heard of you, Little Dong of Fenzhou City, you are indeed young and promising, good!"
Xie Huilan narrowed his eyes and said, "We will get married in a few days, so don't come if you don't come then."
Principal Wen joked, "I was afraid you wouldn't give me an invitation."
"I have to give you the invitation if I don't give it to anyone. It's our honor for you to come over. Haha, Xiao Bin and I will go do some errands so I won't disturb your work." The Power of Time and Wealth 781
"Go ahead, there will definitely be a lot of things to do before you get married. I'll say hello to your class teachers then, and just let them know when you ask for leave next time."
"Thank you, Uncle Wen, then?"
"Okay, okay, I've watched you grow up, why should I be polite to you, Uncle Wen?" After saying that, Vice Principal Wen turned to look at Dong Xuebin, smiled and patted his shoulder, "It will be better for Hui Lan if you get married in the future. If you dare to bully her, I won't forgive you, kid."
Dong Xuebin smiled dryly and said, "No."
After saying a few words, Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin left the party school compound and walked onto the street.
Seeing that no one was around, Dong Xuebin asked, "So Vice Principal Wen has a good relationship with your family?"
"Absolutely." Xie Huilan smiled and said, "It's not particularly close."
Dong Xuebin said speechlessly, "Then how do you say I watched you grow up?"
"Haha, Uncle Wen came to our house several times when he was a child, and he interacted with my father several times. It is true that he watched me grow up." Xie Huilan explained, "It has been two years since your kid joined the system, right? Don't you understand this? But with Capital City, all the dignified officialdom people, they will treat each other. There are almost no strangers among them, some are relatives, some are friends of friends, the relationship is very complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a sentence or two, nor can it be easily distinguished by the words of a faction. It can be said that there is me in you and you in me. Forget it, I guess you can't understand it even if I say this. When you get to this level, you will naturally understand."
Dong Xuebin curled his lips and said, "Look at you, you are acting like a young lady again. Why can't I understand? Do you really think I am stupid?"
"Haha, not smart anyway."
"Hey, try saying it again!"
"What's wrong? Do you still want to fight with you Sister Xie?"
"Don't think that I don't dare to make my brother angry. I'll really beat you up." Dong Xuebin was just trying to show off, but he really didn't dare to bully Hui Lan.
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Okay, you Sister Xie are so happy today. If I don't have the same experience as you, why don't I surrender? Haha..."
Dong Xuebin then said, "As for the wedding, do you want to say hello to Fenzhou City? Our colleagues and friends are still over there. Although my aunt said not to invite them, but if you don't even say a word, isn't it a little bit weird? Isn't it inappropriate?"
Xie Huilan said calmly, "I can't invite you even if I say it, so it's better not to say it."
"But..."
"Besides, Fenzhou has just had an earthquake and is still being rebuilt, but here we are getting married with great fanfare and joy? What do you want others to think?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"So I won't say anything anymore."
"Then why are you so anxious to call me out today?" The Power of Time and Wealth 781
Xie Huilan looked at his watch and said, "My parents said they are busy with the specific matters of the wedding, but there are some things we have to make our own decisions, such as the wedding dress and wedding photos. My mother was afraid that time would be too tight, so they asked us to choose and buy the wedding dress first, and then take the wedding photos."
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin had a bitter look on his face, "Wedding dress, that's too anxious."
"The wedding will be in a few days. Do you still want to buy a wedding dress on the same day?"
"I didn't mean that, I meant that it doesn't have to be that... otherwise it will take two days?"
"Just for today." After saying that, Xie Huilan reached out and hailed a taxi on the side of the road. He couldn't help Dong Xuebin making the decision and sat directly in the taxi with him. Xie Huilan took advantage of the situation and naturally took Dong Xuebin's arm, "Master, please go to Wangfujing."
The driver responded.
"It's too late." Dong Xuebin said depressedly, "I'm not ready yet."
Xie Huilan smiled gracefully, "Are you not ready to take wedding photos or are you not ready to get married? If you are taking photos, you don't need to prepare. I have already contacted you. There are professional makeup artists and stylists there. Just wait until you get ready. If you are not ready for marriage, well..." Xie Huilan smiled and looked at him, "Then we won't get married? The invitations haven't been sent out yet, so it's still too late to regret."
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly, "Look what you said, what do I regret? I didn't mean that."
"Haha, what do you mean?"
"Me, me..."
Dong Xuebin hesitated for a long time without speaking.
When the taxi stopped outside Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Xie Huilan saw that Dong Xuebin didn't move, so he took the initiative to pay the bill and got off the bus with him.
Xie Huilan was walking on the pedestrian street with Dong Xuebin on his arm, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many people frequently look at Xie Huilan's charming and dignified face, and the rate of return is extremely high.
Dong Xuebin rarely goes shopping alone with Hui Lan arm in arm. For a moment, his vanity was greatly satisfied, but when he thought about worrying, Dong Xuebin's face turned bitter again.
"Here we are, this is it." Xie Huilan stopped.
In front of it is a three-storey Paris Wedding Dress Shop. There are several styles of wedding dresses displayed behind the glass. You can tell at a glance that they are expensive, at least tens of thousands.
"Let's go?" Xie Huilan pulled his arm.
But Dong Xuebin stood still, and finally pulled Hui Lan aside. He honestly took out his wallet and handed it to her sadly, "You can see for yourself."
Xie Huilan said in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"You'll know just by looking at it." Dong Xuebin was very embarrassed.
Xie Huilan "touched" his wallet and opened it, looking for it in the two compartments. He was stunned for a moment and found that there were only two dollars in the wallet, one was a paper ticket, and the other was a steel coin. Look. At this point, Xie Huilan suddenly became happy, "You kid, you are so sneaky and chirping, I thought it was something, haha, why is it only two yuan? Where is Kali? Kali is gone too?"
Dong Xuebin said bitterly, "Didn't you buy rings for us two? Xiao Sanyi, I guess I won hundreds of millions of yuan in lottery, but the money was a bit insufficient. Later, I borrowed two million from my mother, five hundred thousand from my old leader, and then I emptied all my bank cards to barely get enough. Now I don't even have money to buy cigarettes. Why didn't I buy anything for my uncle and aunt when I went to your house yesterday? It's not that I didn't want to buy it. I only had two yuan in my pocket. What can I buy? I can't even buy a few kilograms of apples."
Xie Huilan tapped his fingers slightly on his chest, "You kid, you just love to show off. If you don't have enough money, don't buy it. Why did you borrow money?"
"Didn't I see that you like that Pink Diamond? Since you like it, I have to buy it even if I spend all my money."
Xie Huilan's eyes softened, and he smiled and gave him a strand of hair, "Why are you Sister Xie so close to you? Huh?"
"Of course, if I don't stick to you, who should I stick to?"
"Little guy, your mouth is so sweet."
Dong Xuebin hesitated to speak, "That's the situation anyway, so what, Hui Lan, can you lend me some money first?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Marriage is not your business alone. Now we are just a couple, how can we borrow it or not?"
Dong Xuebin sneered and said, "It's not appropriate to use your money."
"I say it's appropriate." Xie Huilan took out his wallet, took out a bank card and handed it to him, "There must be hundreds of thousands in it, I forgot the exact amount. This is our common property now, well, it's probably all the capital and property. I bought a wedding dress in a while. You can pay for it. The password is my birthday."
"Oh, that's so embarrassing." Having said that, Dong Xuebin took the card and put it into his wallet, coughing and saying, "Then I'll hold it for you first. Getting married will probably cost a lot of money. We should save some money these days and wait until I have the opportunity to make more money."
Xie Huilan stepped on his hand and said, "Let's go, haha." (To be continued
