evening.
It's past seven o'clock.
It was getting dark, and the streets were full of lights and feasting.
Friends reunited, Dong Xuebin and Hou Wen both drank a lot. After dinner, the two walked arm in arm on the street, singing loudly, which aroused the attention of the people around them, but Dong Xuebin did not take it seriously. Yes, they often had this activity when they were in college in the dormitory. After drinking, they would step on the curb, sing and dance like crazy. This has become a tradition for them. Now the song starts, Dong Xuebin Both he and Hou Wen regained the feeling they had in college. After singing a song, the two looked at each other and laughed.
"It's so happy today!" Hou Wen said.
Dong Xuebin said: "Yes, it's quite enjoyable to drink!"
Hou Wen sighed: "I don't know what happened to the two bastards in our dormitory."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said nostalgically: "I miss them too, but it's a pity that I can't contact them. Like you, my mobile phone number has been changed."
Hou Wendao said: "I have no choice. How can I use the Beijing number with Jiangnan Province? Any calls I make are long distance and expensive. I have contacted your home before changing the number. I have called many times, but there is no one on the phone. Pick up, I’ve also called those two people, but they can’t get through.”
"So, maybe they are no longer in the capital?"
"I don't know. I'll inquire some other time. I have to find them both."
"Sure, I'll ask when the time comes. The four of us brothers must get together."
"That's right, we used to be such good buddies, we can't just break up, we have to get together."
"Let's go, it's already late. Let's go back to the hotel first. What should we do in the evening?"
"I'm casual. Anyway, I'm here for tourism. I can go anywhere."
There is the Royal Hotel in front. Cars come in and out, but there are more people at this time. Although both Dong Xuebin and Dong Xuebin drank a lot of wine, they were not drunk and did not drink to death. So Dong Xuebin, who was sharp-eyed, immediately saw Xie Huilan at the door of the hall. There were many people beside them, who should be from Jiangnan Province. Among the leading cadres and their families who came to investigate and study this time, Dong Xuebin also saw a leader of Xiaxing City, who was the deputy mayor.
"Where is your wife?" Hou Wen pointed.
"I saw it, but I don't know." Dong Xuebin looked at it, and the two of them walked up. After entering the revolving door, they greeted, "Huilan."
I drank and my voice was a bit loud.
At this sound, many people looked over. Basically, no one knew Dong Xuebin or knew who he was. Huilan? His name is Secretary Xie
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Have you finished eating?"
Dong Xuebin said: "I just finished eating, what's wrong?"
"There is nothing to do if we stay in the hotel. We are discussing going out for a walk together, but the place has not been decided yet. Haha, you can come too." Xie Huilan said.
"I don't care." Dong Xuebin looked at Hou Wen, "What's the matter?"
Hou Wen chuckled, looked at Dong Xuebin and said, "Of course I'm here too. It's a rare occasion and I want to chat with your wife a little more." After saying that, Hou Wen stretched out his hand and looked at Xie Huilan and said: " Sister Xie, I haven’t officially met you yet, my name is Hou Wen, you can call me Xiaowen or Monkey.”
Xie Huilan looked at him from the corner of her smiling eyes and shook Hou Wen's hand, "Then I'll call you Xue Bin. You can stop Xie sister and call her Huilan."
"Okay." Hou Wen was no longer as reserved as when he saw her during the day.
Many cadres from Jiangnan Province nearby knew Hou Wen and knew that he was Mayor Hou's son, but they had never met Dong Xuebin. Now they saw the two parties talking. When they heard the amount of information in the words, they were surprised. The young people were also slightly shocked when they realized that this was Secretary Xie's husband, the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Everyone's expressions were very rich for a while, and they were probably stunned by Dong Xuebin's ugly appearance. Obviously, Dong Xuebin The image, temperament and age are different from their impressions, and they are very different.
"Hey, Mr. Dong."
"Director Dong, this is our first meeting."
"Haha, hello Director Dong."
Some cadres smiled and came up to say hello.
Xie Huilan introduced them one by one with a smile and got to know each other.
There was the deputy mayor of a certain city in Jiangnan Province, the secretary of a certain city, and the top leaders of the departments below. Dong Xuebin shook hands with them one by one with a smile on his face and said hello. It was quite grand. If it was other leaders or ordinary family members, Maybe this is not necessary. After all, there are so many people here waiting to go shopping. However, Dong Xuebin's identity is different, so everyone must pay a certain degree of attention to him.
"When did Director Dong come?"
"I'll arrive in the afternoon, so you two will have a flight later."
"By the way, we haven't decided where to go yet, what do you think?"
"Let's make a decision. I don't know. It's my first time here."
Only a quarter of the leaders and family members gathered here, and the Hou father and Hou mother were not present. Moreover, this time we were not from the same city, and there was no one to lead the group. Although everyone had similar wishes, they were all planning to form a group in the evening. Going out for a walk, after all, it is inconvenient if one or two people are not familiar with the place, but they don't know where to go. There is no consensus on the opinions, mainly because there is no one who can speak, and they are all at the same level. But now that Dong Xuebin comes, the atmosphere is a little different. The only person here who can suppress them all is probably Dong Xuebin. If he wants to go where, many people will probably have no objection. But Dong Xuebin didn't want to be the master. He came with the team as Xie Huilan's husband, and he had no intention of showing off his prestige here.
Everyone had no choice but to continue discussing.
"Go up to the fort and have a look?"
"I think we'd better go to the church."
"There were some nice palace buildings when we came here, but we didn't take a closer look."
"Old Wang, how much you like palace buildings. Last year when we went to the capital for a business trip, you took us to the Forbidden City for two days."
"Haha, the main thing is to see the cultural atmosphere and to understand a city, you must take a look at the old buildings."
As they talked, some people didn't seem to want to follow the team anymore. They had the idea of going out on their own, so they said goodbye and left in twos and threes. Maybe they were impatient to wait, or maybe they didn't want to go shopping. The leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are watching.
Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan didn't get involved, as did many cadres. They just chatted away easily. It didn't matter where they went.
Finally, the destination was decided.
It was a place that even surprised Dong Xuebin - the Lisboa-Beijing Casino.
But it’s to be expected. How could you not visit the famous casino when you come to Macau? Even if they don't go, Dong Xuebin is going to go shopping by himself. Of course, everyone is an official, so they will definitely not gamble, just go and experience it.
