afternoon.
In a taxi.
Dong Xuebin was originally thinking about finding an opportunity to speak out. After all, everyone knew immediately that they were all family members of Jiangnan Province on this research trip. There was no need to hide it. When Hou Wen mentioned it, Dong Xuebin just followed suit. He said with a smile.
"your wife?"
"yes."
"Did you say thank you to the secretary?"
"Yes, Xie Huilan."
"You are bragging more and more!"
"... Khan, what am I bragging about?"
When Hou Wen heard this, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he laughed loudly, "Have you ever seen her before and you just said, your wife? If you brag again, you will blow your mind. How old are they? They are over thirty." , we are only in our twenties, how many years apart is there, and with her looks, hey, I won’t talk about you, you know in your heart, if you can marry Secretary Xie, then I believe that in my lifetime She is now able to take charge of a party, and Secretary Xie is married a long time ago, and her rank is still there. She is one level higher than my father, Xuebin, yes, you are getting more and more sense of humor. "
"...I know she is married." Dong Xuebin said.
"Then you still brag?" Hou Wen said with a playful smile.
"But it was the two of us who got married." Dong Xuebin said helplessly: "I came here with Xie Huilan on a business trip this time. Didn't you also go with your dad? It was organized by Jiangnan Province, and I am also a family member of our Jiangnan Province. , so we’re both on the way.”
Hou Wen obviously didn't believe it, "Oh, you know a lot, right? Yes, your wife is also a civil servant, so she must have heard about the boss's business trip."
"... Huilan is the leader, why do you need to hear about it?" Dong Xuebin said.
The Marquis who rented the front seat couldn't stand listening anymore. She turned around and looked at Dong Xuebin with a straight face, "Don't think that you can talk nonsense now that you are not in Jiangnan Province. Don't say such things in the future. What is Secretary Xie's identity? Where are you whispering behind your back?" , Don’t talk nonsense, let alone talk nonsense about the reputation of a female leader!”
Dong Xuebin: “…”
Hou Wen curled his lips and said: "Mom, you are so humorless. This is not a joke, and you don't take it seriously."
Hou Mu said with cold eyes: "Then you can't talk nonsense, return it to your wife? Xie Huilan is also here this time, in the hotel, what do you think if she hears it?"
"Didn't you hear it?" Hou Wen said.
The Marquis said: "Misfortune comes from the mouth, so be careful!"
After saying that, Hou Mu turned back and looked forward, and her impression of Dong Xuebin seemed to be even worse.
Dong Xuebin was speechless in his heart. Well, spending a long time talking with my brothers is just in vain.
Hou Wen winked at Dong Xuebin, as if telling him to "ignore his mother", and then the two continued chatting, but changed the topic.
…
Twenty minutes later.
The entrance to the Royal Hotel.
The taxi stopped and Hou Mu paid the bill and got out of the car.
Hou Wen and Dong Xuebin followed behind. Dong Xuebin also took the initiative to take out Hou's mother's luggage from the trunk, and the three of them walked in together.
The hotel is a relatively luxurious one. In an area where the surrounding buildings are generally not high, this hotel with more than 20 floors is particularly conspicuous. The interior decoration also shows a lot of wealth. There are many people in the lobby, and some doormen are helping. While picking up luggage, some guests were going through the formalities, and some residents were talking in the lounge area. Whether outside or inside, the whole city gave people a more business-like feel.
"Hey, my dad is here too." Hou Wen looked inside.
The Marquis also saw her husband and said calmly: "Go over."
Hou Wen took a look and said, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Li and the others are here too."
Dong Xuebin looked in the direction of the mother and son's gaze, and saw several people. One of them, a middle-aged man, looked somewhat similar to Hou Wen. He was obviously Hou's father.
"Mayor Hou, are you going too?"
"I have been invited by the local government, so I will definitely go."
"A development zone, right? It seems to be developing over there."
"Haha, just do as the Romans do. This time it's mainly for research."
Mayor Hou? Dong Xuebin blinked. It turns out that Hou Wen's father is a mayor or deputy mayor? Well, it seems that the mayor is more likely. No wonder Hou Wen dared to talk to Dong Xuebin about trivial matters on the plane. His father would still have face. His father does have this energy.
Dong Xuebin and the others went that way.
At this time, the elevator door opened, and a beautiful figure walked out.
Father Hou took a look and said with a smile: "Secretary Xie is here too?"
There was a middle-aged man next to him who also said, "Secretary Xie, your wife didn't come over?"
"Mayor Hou, Mayor Wang." The woman chuckled, "My husband is on the next flight. I don't know what time he will arrive."
Father Hou looked at his watch and said, "My wife and children are also on a later flight. They should be arriving soon."
A few people chatted. Although they were not officials of the same city, and the involvement was not too much, a municipal party committee secretary was definitely different from a mayor or deputy mayor. They felt a head above others. In the system, there were The most important place is seniority.
Seeing this, Hou Wen slowed down his steps, smiled in a low voice at Dong Xuebin and pointed to the woman not far away, "See, that's Secretary Xie."
Dong Xuebin said sweatly: "I know."
"Isn't it beautiful?" Hou Wen asked.
"Of course she is beautiful." Dong Xuebin said: "She is my wife."
Hou Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Keep bragging! Can you let that cow in the sky come down and rest for a while?"
The Marquis couldn't stand listening anymore and turned around and shouted: "What were you talking about in the car? You are still talking nonsense here! Watch your mouth!"
Hou Wen hissed at Dong Xuebin, "Stop talking. Secretary Xie will go blind if he hears it. Stop talking about you. We both have to walk around without food. Didn't you see that my dad was so polite when talking to her?" He is the secretary of the municipal party committee, and he is in charge of a city, so we can’t afford to offend him.”
Dong Xuebin didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, perhaps because they spoke louder, Mayor Wang's eyes were attracted. At one glance, Mayor Wang smiled and said, "Mayor Hou, your wife's child is here."
Father Hou looked over.
Xie Huilan also saw them.
"Dad, Uncle Wang, uh, Secretary Xie." Hou Wen greeted quickly, but his eyes still stayed on Xie Huilan more often. Everyone has a love for beauty.
Marquis also nodded to them, "Secretary Xie is here too?"
Xie Huilan smiled and shook her hand, "This is sister-in-law, hello."
Mother Hou, who had never smiled on the plane or in the car, also smiled and said, "You are more beautiful than on TV."
Father Hou patted Hou Wen on the shoulder with a smile and introduced: "This is my son Hou Wen, a boy who doesn't live up to expectations."
"Mayor Hou is being humble, I heard it, haha." Xie Huilan also stretched out her hand to shake Hou Wen's hand, "Hello."
"Ahem, hello." It could be seen that Hou Wen was a little reserved. RS
