Late, seven o'clock.
County Party Committee Guest House.
Outside the ballroom, bursts of soothing music emerged from the cracks in the door and floated over the corridor for a long time. Dong Xuebin arrived a little late, and when he heard some ballroom dance music or something, he thought of Xie Huilan, and even faster walked to the door.
"Has it started?" Dong Xuebin looked at the people in a guest house.
The staff recognized him at a glance. "Yes, Secretary Xiang just finished the opening dance." "
Dong Xuebin pushed the door open and went in, and the hall with flashing lights immediately came into view.
The ballroom is very dark. The lighting is not as sharp as the disco. It has a very soft, light and light feeling. It is surrounded by soft sofas and chairs. Many leading cadres are sitting in a circle." The red wine glass looked at the dance floor with a smile. Liang Chengpeng and Zhao Xinglong were also there, and they probably couldn't dance. Looking further inside, there were many people dancing together on the dance floor, and most of the leading cadres didn't know how to dance. The movements are a bit clumsy, but their female dance partners are all master dancers. They are basically members of the county cultural troupe, and there are also some female cadres. Where is Sister Xie
Don't just jump with others, right
Dong Xuebin was filled with jealousy and said to himself that my brother has not dared to dance with Sister Xie yet, how can he let others take the lead
"Isn't this Director Dong?" A middle-aged man sitting nearby suddenly tilted his head, "Didn't I see you when the show started? Have you just arrived?"
Dong Xuebin looked over and said with a smile: "Director Ding, um." The traffic jam just arrived. "
Ding Li smiled, said hello, and had no intention of chatting with him anymore.
This man's name is Ding Li. I heard that his life style is not very strict. He likes to deal with female cadres, especially beautiful female cadres. His position is the director of the Finance Bureau, which is the same as Dong Xuebin's position, but the weight of the position is obviously much greater than that of the China Merchants Bureau. , the person in charge of money." However, Dong Xuebin had never had any contact with him and rarely spoke to him. At most, he only met and said hello, and did not have in-depth contact, because although Ding Li was the top leader of the county government department, he followed Xiang Daofa left in a hurry, so Dong Xuebin didn't want to have any friendship with him.
After greeting Director Liang, County Magistrate Zhao and other leading cadres he knew, Dong Xuebin hurriedly scratched his neck and continued searching.
"Hey, where is Sister Xie sitting?"
Not dancing
Finally, Dong Xuebin found Xie Huilan in the dim ballroom. She was smiling on the sofa with her legs crossed and sipping red wine with a goblet in her hand. On her left was secretary Hu Silian, and on her right was walking towards Daofa and the Propaganda Department a few meters away. Minister Chen Tongbing, it seems that only a few of the county leaders have arrived. "The others have not come. After observing for a while," Dong Xuebin was relieved. No one invited Xie Huilan to dance. Sister Xie's level was there. "You have the courage." Not many people asked her to dance. They were all cadres who wanted to save face and were afraid of being embarrassed if Xie Huilan refused.
Dong Xuebin looked relaxed, thinking that if he had known better, he would not have come." Turning around, he found an empty seat and sat down, lighting a cigarette.
On the dance floor, he saw Sister Luo Haiting dancing with a young cadre from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
The dance is elegant and the movements are skillful. It seems that Sister Luo often participates in such activities.
Dong Xuebin was watching and learning. He also wanted to learn how to dance and then invite Xie Huilan, so he watched very seriously. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin noticed a few people, all of whom were cadres in their forties. "It seemed that they were not going to dance. Yes, one of the cadres whom he didn’t recognize pinched the hand of a female comrade in the art troupe, and danced with his fingers as if he was still moving, as if he was rubbing the girl’s hand. Ding Li was also one of them, and he also went up to dance at some point. He put his arms around the waist of his female companion, and he was still talking and laughing with the girl while his body was very close to her.
Dong Xuebin was used to thinking bad things about people, so this had to make him think bad things. He couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the dance was really a mess.
Two minutes later, the song gradually ended, and a song with a slightly faster rhythm began to echo.
Several couples came down one after another, and some cadres went to invite others to dance.
Luo Haiting, who was walking down, saw Dong Xuebin at a glance. She smiled and walked up slowly, "Director, are you here?" There were beads of sweat on her forehead.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Sister Luo dances so well. Can you teach me someday?"
Luo Haiting also liked to hear good words. She smiled when she heard the words and said, "I..." Just as she was about to speak, someone came over.
"Director Luo, can you show me a favor?" A cadre in his thirties smiled and extended his hand.
Luo Haiting took out her handkerchief to wipe her sweat, smiled and put her hand on the man's hand, confessed to Dong Xuebin, and immediately went to the dance floor.
Dong Xuebin was happy and thought that Sister Luo was quite popular? That's right, she is a really good dancer, and she is not ugly. Although she is a little older, compared to other female cadres present, Luo Haiting is still very outstanding." No wonder so many people invited her. Oh, look at her. , take a look at yourself again, Dong Xuebin feels unbalanced, why doesn’t anyone invite any of his buddies to dance? It’s a pity that my buddies were thinking about how to refuse the invitation to dance before they came, well, now I don’t even have to refuse.
Just when he was feeling embarrassed, the corner of his eye suddenly moved.
Ding Li actually walked towards Xie Huilan, stretched out his hand with his palm upwards, "County Magistrate Huilan, can I ask you to dance?"
The focus of the audience has always been on Xie Huilan. In the so-called dance, beautiful women naturally receive more attention, not to mention that Xie Huilan is the county magistrate. Her identity is there. Can she dance? Who will she dance with first? Dance, many people around were watching eagerly. It was just because they couldn't figure out Xie Huilan's thoughts that no one was the first to come forward. In fact, there had to be eighteen if not twenty people who wanted to invite Magistrate Xie to dance. , firstly, I can use this to establish a relationship with Xie Huilan and let the leader remember me. Secondly, dancing with the beautiful county magistrate is a kind of enjoyment in itself.
Seeing Ding Li open his head, more than a dozen eyes were cast towards him.
Xiang Daofa and Chen Tongbing both looked over with interest, as did Zhao Xinglong and Liang Chengpeng.
Dong Xuebin was annoyed when he heard this. He didn't have a good impression of Ding Li at all. He just got so close to a female comrade from another art troupe and took advantage of him. What's wrong? Are you still thinking about Sister Xie? It doesn't matter if you are a member of the Xie family. You have always been a member of the Xie family. How dare you ask my Huilan to dance? How fucking shameless are you! However, Dong Xuebin also understood that it was just dancing and had nothing to do with the faction. Xie Huilan wore black trousers and a woolen coat today, and her shoes were also black high-heeled shoes. It seemed that she was specially dressed for the dance, otherwise she would not wear high heels.
She looked at Ding Li, smiled and put her goblet down on the table with one hand.
Under the gaze of many people, Xie Huilan stood up gracefully and was about to dance with Ding Li.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebin didn't agree. At this time, he didn't care who he would throw away. He would never let Ding Li pinch Xie Huilan's small hands, so he strode up with the same attitude as Ding Li. He stretched out his hand, squeezed over, and said loudly: "County Magistrate Xie, would you be honored to ask you to dance?" He knew how to dance, so he had to bite the bullet.
Dong Xuebin's words shocked many people.
Ding Li's expression changed and he almost cursed.
Hu Silian on the side almost laughed out loud when she heard this, thinking that Dong Xuebin was too outrageous.
To be honest, Dong Xuebin's behavior was very unreasonable. He went to his grandma's house. He didn't invite him earlier and he didn't invite him later. But he waited for Ding Li to invite him before he came up. He also used the same gesture. He really didn't give Ding Li face. . Liang Chengpeng in the distance immediately became happy. "This Xiao Dong has to cause something every time!" "Zhao Xinglong laughed. He actually didn't have a good impression of Ding Li either.
Luo Haiting on the dance floor looked at Dong Xuebin dumbfounded. "I don't know what Director Dong is doing. I have heard that Director Dong can offend people. He only came to Yantai County for a year and has already offended the previous county party committee secretary." Secretary, the current Secretary of the County Party Committee, the two-term Propaganda Minister, etc. Today, Luo Haiting saw with her own eyes the demeanor of Director Xiao Dong, who is known as the God of Plague. The rumors are indeed true.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and everyone looked over, wanting to see how County Magistrate Xie handled these two invitations. Normally, he should dance with the first inviter first. "First come, first served."
But Xie Huilan's answer made many people startled. She looked at Dong Xuebin funny, turned her head and smiled at Ding Li: "Director Ding, when Xiao Dong reported to me yesterday, he mentioned something about making an appointment. My first dance of the day, haha, I was so busy that I forgot about it, are you sorry? "I actually chose Dong Xuebin who was invited before I even thought about it. Some people were not surprised." Others were deeply surprised. Take a breath." He said in his heart that County Magistrate Xie really gave Dong Xuebin face.
"It's okay." Ding Li was so embarrassed, he pretended to smile disapprovingly.
Chen Tongbing frowned and looked at Dong Xuebin.
Luo Haiting also admired Director Dong's ability to offend people.
Dong Xuebin was used to being pointed at, and he didn't take it seriously at all. He stretched out his hands with a smile, and only had Xie Huilan in his eyes. Xie Huilan stepped forward with her high heels and placed her light little hand on Dong Xuebin's palm.
Dong Xuebin shook his hand slightly and said, "Thank you, county magistrate, for the compliment."
"Haha..." Xie Xilan squinted and smiled, "It's my honor."
Seeing Dong Xuebin holding the hand of the beautiful county magistrate and entering the dance floor, "Some people are jealous, but they also know that this is because of jealousy. There is no way, when County Magistrate Xie is tied to a time bomb and his life is hanging by a thread," you If you can risk your life to defuse the bomb like Director Xiao Dong, County Magistrate Xie will definitely give you the same face." Thinking of this, many people felt balanced in their hearts.
