Views:

Big Year.

The thumping roar of the fireworks woke up Dong Xuebin. He rubbed his dark eyes and sat up from his bed. He got out of bed listlessly and washed up. After breakfast, Dong Xuebin patted his forehead in the living room with a wry smile, and then Thinking about the embarrassing scene last night. I'm afraid the relationship with Xie Huilan has come to an end. 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 me, right

At around eleven o'clock at noon, Dong Xuebin was going to go 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 expression changed. She was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned bitter. It was Xie Huilan's call. Yesterday, she might not be able to expose her face to face because of her face. Now is she going to settle the score with the Queen? Do you want to ask yourself about stockings? But, what do you say to yourself

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?"

"Xiao 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 thumped. Are you going to ask me to settle the score in person

"...Xiao 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 almost went crazy. Didn't Sister Xie bring someone here? But then you have to go too. After holding his hair and walking back and forth in the house several times, Dong Xuebin finally gritted his teeth and said to himself, "I love you so much. I picked up my bag and went downstairs to the entrance of the community." Dong Xuebin has decided to take the personal clothes of central leaders. This matter is so bad that it can be regarded as a political incident. Sister Xie can scold and hit her whenever she wants. She will never fight back or talk back. Let Xie Huilan should vent her anger. After all, she was 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 the vehicle supplied by Xie Huilan's unit. Official vehicles for party and government agencies have been reformed. Some places strictly require that official vehicles must be under 180,000 yuan and have a displacement of less than 1.8L. There are restrictions, but how can a place like the 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 possible that this is Xie Huilan's private car, but the probability is unlikely, because what a political center like the capital needs most is to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Even if you have the financial strength, you must pay attention to the impact of buying a private car, let alone At Xie Huilan's level, there are many officials at the deputy department level in the capital government, and there are also many people who commute by bicycle. No one wants to stumble on this.

Dozens 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 wanted to tell her that he had a strange disease that made him unable to walk, and could he go home, but looking at Xie Huilan, Dong Xuebin secretly thought that what was supposed to come would still come. He bit his molar teeth and immediately quickened his pace. "It's okay, it's okay. My ankle is a little cramped. Maybe it's because of the wind last night." After thinking about it, he walked around in a circle to the other side. After hesitating, he opened the door and got into the passenger seat. Then he looked guilty. Di Ban lowered his head and said nothing.

Come on, scold me, ask me about my stockings

Dong Xuebin was mentally prepared to face Xie Huilan's questioning.

"...Xiao Dong, put on your seat belt."

Dong Xuebin didn't bother, but turned his head slightly and looked at her, "Thank you... Director Xie, please criticize me." After temporarily changing his words, he did not dare to call Sister Xie anymore.

Xie Huilan looked at him, "...what are you criticizing?"

Dong Xuebin was extremely embarrassed, "I 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? Xiaodong, why did you say such a thing all of a sudden? ? Huh?" After a pause, Xie Huilan squinted her eyes and smoothed her hair and said, "And why did you call me Director Xie again? It sounds so nice to me, right?"

Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment, "But I..."

Xie Huilan looked at him strangely, smiled slightly and said, "What? Tell me what happened?"

After hearing 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 looks like that, and her expression yesterday... No need to ask, Xie Huilan must know, 100% sure, but now she seems to be pretending not to know anything. I'll go, Sister Xie, what does this mean? No further investigation? Dong Xuebin quickly said: "Well, it's nothing, nothing happened."

"... Are you really okay?"

Dong Xuebin said with certainty: "It's okay."

Xie Huilan smiled and hummed, with no sign of anything strange on her expression, "As long as everything is fine, let's go have dinner at the Wangfu Hotel, okay?"

Dong Xuebin said hello. Since Sister Xie didn't mention yesterday's charming, why should he mention it again? And judging from Xie Huilan's attitude, it seems that she has not alienated herself because of the stockings incident. Although I don't understand what Xie Huilan, the central leader, is thinking, but... Haha, at least I escaped, eh, eh, eh, look. Look at people, the central leadership is the central leadership, how magnanimous is it

Khan, but this doesn’t seem to be a matter of magnanimity

Audi drove towards the Wangfu Hotel.

Today, Xie Huilan wore a small black women's suit. The suit was tailor-made to be thin and semi-casual.

Dong Xuebin fastened his seat belt and quickly glanced at Xie Huilan's black high-heeled shoes from the corner of his eye. He saw the stockings on her feet, and quickly withdrew his gaze, his heart pounding. What happened happened after all. No matter how casual Xie Huilan behaved, Dong Xuebin's face became red and hot when he thought that she might still be thinking about the thing on the stockings at this time, and Dong Xuebin was embarrassed to go on. Xie Huilan looked over, her eyes wandering in the carriage. Her 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 her lips.

"No." Dong Xuebin pointed at the pile of passes under the car window, including those from the municipal party committee, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, other central ministries and commissions, and even many family members' homes. "...Ahem, look at this. Woolen cloth."

"Oh, haha, I often go there to do errands, so I have a lot of passes."

work? What does your propaganda department do in the Beijing Municipal Party Committee Courtyard? What should I do at the Ministry of Finance? Dong Xuebin felt strange, but it was hard to ask too many questions.

Half an hour later.

In this atmosphere that made Dong Xuebin extremely embarrassed, the car drove into the parking lot of Wangfu Hotel.

The Wangfu Hotel is one of several five-star hotels in Beijing yesterday morning. It has seven small multi-functional halls and various conference rooms. The business center can provide multi-language translation services and day and night secretarial services. The dining facilities include Western-style Palm Cafe, Italian-style Roman Hall, German-style Bavarian Hall, Chinese-style Yuexiu Hall and Chaojiang Spring Hall, poolside bar, Fantasy Lounge, etc., and the services are comprehensive. More, such as child care, travel services, valuables safe at the front desk, shoe shine service, bus or car rental service, currency exchange, ATM cash machine, room service, laundry service, wake-up call service, medical support, etc. etc.

As soon as the car stopped, Dong Xuebin, who had a secret in his heart, 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 number of the Audi car, walked up and opened the door for Xie Huilan, with a respectful look on his face. A young man following behind held a small notebook 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 him, but the two staff members did not open the door for them and stood motionless.

Now Dong Xuebin is speechless, what's going on? Unexpected service? Most of the people who can come to the Wangfu Hotel are rich or noble. Even if Xie Huilan often comes here, even if Xie Huilan is a central leader, you won't be like this, right

Xie Huilan seemed to be used to it, "... Xiaodong, let's go in."

"Hey" Dong Xuebin quickly followed up, deliberately delaying Xie Huilan by half a body.

When Xie Huilan saw it, she waved and said with a smile: "You are so reserved. You are not my secretary. Can you walk side by side with me?"

Dong Xuebin hesitated and had to agree, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Huilan very uneasily.

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 slowly and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Ms. Xie, you are very welcome. Some people are welcome from a distance, some are not welcome from afar." Looking at it, it seemed that he 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 treating 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 her hand, "I'm having a meal with my friends today. I won't go there. Let's go to... 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 said goodbye and left. The two waiters respectfully led the way.

No matter how stupid Dong Xuebin is, he can see that the treatment given to Xie Huilan at the Wangfu Hotel is obviously different from others. Is it true that I have so much energy when I go to thank Sister? As soon as the car sign entered the hotel, the manager or deputy manager rushed down to greet him? I guess their Chengxi District Party 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. There are several partitions made of rattan and bamboo scattered around. The chairs and tables are all made of vines, and the ground is covered with a winding vine. The gravel road ends with a turquoise pool, giving it a leisurely feel 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, let me toast you first. Thank you. Come to the rescue and thank you for your careful care.”

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 vegetables and eat, chatting about some trivial topics between the parents.

"Xiao Dong, why didn't you spend the Chinese New Year with your parents?"

"My mother is in Beihe Province and is busy with work, so she came back for two days on New Year's Eve."

"What do your parents do?"

"My mother taught in the countryside and was a Chinese teacher. My father... passed away."

"… Sorry."

Only now did Dong Xuebin feel completely relaxed, knowing that Xie Huilan was not trying to settle the debt with him about the stockings incident this time, but wanted to thank himself 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, he was Feng Xueliang, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and director of the Public Security Bureau. An imposing middle-aged man in his fifties, there might be a private room over there, and he was walking out of the corridor.

It was the first time for Dong Xuebin, a senior official at the deputy ministerial level, to see a real person. He was 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 startled, I x, what is this

"Huilan 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's a big fish in the private room. The big meat is eaten again, I don’t want to pay attention to her now, haha, okay, you can eat. "

Xie Huilan smiled and said: "I'll go over to 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 has been dumbfounded for a long time. The Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee member smiled at me? Really smiled at me? Isn’t Sister Xie’s face too great

Dong Xuebin knew that Xie Huilan had a background, otherwise he would not have become a deputy director under the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee at such a young age, but he only now discovered 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 , this Xie Huilan not only has a background, but also seems to have a huge background
