ten o'clock.
Capital Hotel.
They had booked a hall and a small banquet hall inside. People had already started attending the engagement party, and the overall look was very grand.
"Brother Ran, congratulations."
"Thank you, Xiaocheng. Please come in."
"Xiao Ling, I wish you a happy marriage."
"Thank you Uncle Sun, thank you Aunt Zhang."
"Hey, you two are so beautiful today."
Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling were busy outside welcoming visitors.
At this time, Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan also found the banquet hall with their children in their arms. Seeing Xie Ran's rosy faces, Dong Xuebin also smiled.
"Sister! Brother-in-law!" Xie Hao's eyes lit up.
Fang Shuiling also hurriedly came up to greet her, "Sister, Brother Dong, are you two here?"
Dong Xuebin laughed and said: "I just changed my words that day, why are you calling me Brother Dong again today?"
Fang Shuiling blushed and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law."
"Hey, that's right." Dong Xuebin said: "Actually, I don't think there is any need for an engagement party. I can just get married and get it over with. I won't cause this trouble."
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "You are the only one who talks a lot, let's go in."
"Okay, let's go in, you two get busy." Dong Xuebin walked in with the child in his arms.
Inside, Xie Guobang, Han Jing and other elders of the Xie family were all here, and Mr. They should have a good conversation. Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan went up to say hello one by one. In the end, they did not stay with Grandpa Xie and Grandpa Fang for long. They said hello and left. It was not a place for them to get in touch with each other. The old people looked ugly, but in fact They are all people who can tremble three times even if they stamp their feet with the Republic. Even if Dong Xuebin wants to interrupt, he can't talk to them. The level is different.
More than ten minutes later.
The engagement party is about to start, and more and more people are arriving.
Xie Ran and the others were already in a hurry and almost couldn't greet them. All the people who came today were high-profile people, so no one could be neglected.
Xie Huilan said: "Give me the child, and you can go over and help with the arrangements."
"Okay, I'll go over." Dong Xuebin gave him the child and went up to help.
"Oh, Brother Dong!" When the Chen family's Xiao Liu'er and his father arrived, they saw Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin also greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Chen is here? You are a distinguished guest. Please come in quickly. The seat has been reserved for you."
Chen Guo did not leave, but chatted with Dong Xuebin with great interest. "I heard that you are going to be promoted again? Uncle, may I congratulate you first?"
Dong Xuebin said: "It's not decided yet, it's all rumored."
Chen Guo said with a smile: "I'll be down soon. What are you talking about?"
Xiao Liuer of the Chen family said in shock: "Dad, Brother Dong is going to be promoted again?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Chen Guodao: "This time it's the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Haha, you, Brother Dong, are not an ordinary person. It seems that you two have known each other for a long time. You kid, I will talk to you more about Dong in the future. Brother, study and communicate more. If you can learn one and a half of Xiao Dong's tricks, I won't worry about anything after you graduate and enter the system." Chen Guo spoke highly of Dong Xuebin. In fact, in politics. Generally speaking, Chen Guo has a very close relationship with the Fang family. In the past, the Fang family and the Xie family were mortal enemies, so the relationship between Chen Guo and the Xie family was naturally not good. But even so, when Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan got married, he He came in person anyway. He has always attached great importance to Dong Xuebin and particularly appreciated him.
Xiao Liuer of the Chen family immediately said: "I will definitely learn from Brother Dong in the future."
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, thank you. What can I do? I just have better luck. Please come in and please come in."
After sending them in, someone else came over there.
A burst of hearty laughter came over, "Haha, Xue Bin!"
Dong Xuebin saw it and hurriedly went over to say hello, "Hey, Minister Qian, Aunt Sun!"
Minister Qian didn't like hearing this: "You call me auntie, my lover, why do you call me minister? Huh?"
Dong Xuebin said cheerfully: "Slip of the tongue, Uncle Qian, I have been waiting for you two for a long time. My father and mother have specially given instructions. As soon as you two arrive, please inform them immediately that my parents are inside."
"We're not in a hurry to go in. Let's talk to your boy first." Minister Qian looked at him with a pleasant look. "I heard that you are going to be the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee this time, right?"
Dong Xuebin said rigorously: "I have this information, but I don't know it."
"Come on, I know it all and you don't know it yet? It must be confirmed." Minister Qian said: "The younger generation is to be feared. The younger generation is really to be feared."
His wife smiled and said: "Isn't it? What were you doing when you were twenty-seven years old? You were still doing manual labor in the village. Look at Xiao Dong. At this age, he will be the secretary of the municipal party committee. ”
Dong Xuebin hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Aunt Sun, you are too flattering. How can I compare with Uncle Qian? Isn't this a disgrace to me? My Uncle Qian relies on his ability. I can only borrow a little." Luck and luck are not on the same level at all, how can they be compared?”
Minister Qian laughed and said, "Look, our little Dong is so good at talking." After saying that, he sighed: "You just got married too early. Alas, if it were later, I would have introduced my daughter to you. What a pity."
Aunt Sun touched him and said, "What are you talking about? Huilan is sitting over there. If Huilan hears it, he will pull your beard like he did when he was a child, haha."
Minister Qian subconsciously touched his beard and also laughed. "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. This girl Huilan pulled off most of my beard when I was a child, otherwise it wouldn't be so thin." Over there, Han Jing looked at it. When Minister Qian and his wife arrived, they immediately came up with a smile and took them in personally.
Dong Xuebin continued to stay outside to greet the guests.
"Xiao Dong, haha."
"Xuebin, let's talk."
"Xiao Dong is here too? How are you doing lately?"
"You are Brother Xuebin, I am Liu Tao. Nice to meet you."
It's funny to say that today's protagonists should be Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling. After all, it is their engagement party, but the scene is different. Although everyone will congratulate Xie Ran and the others after arriving, in the end many people I came over and talked to Dong Xuebin for a long time. Dong Xuebin suddenly became the second focus of the audience after Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling, and he was very busy for a while.
Some children of aristocratic families.
Deputy Head of the Organization Department.
The second-in-command of the Ministry of Commerce.
A provincial leader in Xishan Province.
Many people came to Dong Xuebin and chatted with him casually after seeing him.
Why? Just because of the rumors of institutional reform in Jiao Neighbor County, Dong Xuebin, who is about to be promoted to Municipal Party Committee Secretary at the age of twenty-seven, will no longer let anyone underestimate him, even though most of the people here are of a higher rank than Dong Xuebin It should be higher, but ask yourself, what were they doing when they were Dong Xuebin's age? It can be said that none of them has achieved the achievements of Dong Xuebin at this age, and they are even incomparable. They are too far behind. If they can achieve such achievements at the age of twenty-seven, can they still achieve it in the future? Everyone knows that Dong Xuebin's future is boundless, and there is a high chance that it will far exceed their achievements and status today. This has led to today's situation.
And all of this was achieved by Dong Xuebin himself risking his life step by step!
Recalling his past, Dong Xuebin also felt sad in his heart. He thought that he was still an ordinary fresh graduate with a poor family and a bad school. But now he has worked hard to achieve what he is today. It feels like a dream, so unreal. From the beginning to the end of the engagement banquet, Dong Xuebin, who was reminded of his memories, was thinking about his own experience, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.
Integrated Office Director.
Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau.
Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
Director of the Supervision Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
Wait, wait, everything seems like yesterday.
Half a month later.
The State Council approved Jiaolin County’s application to withdraw from county and city status and appointed Dong Xuebin as secretary of the Jiaolin City Party Committee.
This is a milestone in Dong Xuebin's political career, and it is also the beginning of his political career. This is not enough, Dong Xuebin has to climb up.
Still have to climb further.
Still have to climb higher.
This is the ambition he set when he first entered the system!
This is Dong Xuebin’s lifelong persistence!
He wants the whole world to remember his name, no matter what is true or false, no matter what is gained or lost, no matter what is right or wrong, just to brighten the ordinary and unruly life of a little man!
