Night.
It's not even eight o'clock.
The dance hall of the district committee guest house was filled with music and singing and dancing.
Dong Xuebin, who had danced twice, found a seat and sat back. Wang Yuling had already gone to dance with several cadres of the Wang family. Zhou Yanru and her husband also danced vigorously. Dong Xuebin was the only one left here, which was quite boring. , because except for the cadres in the office under his jurisdiction, probably no one dared to dance with Dong Xuebin. Dong Xuebin estimated that it would be difficult for him to invite him, so he simply sat down and drank tea, but his mood was not affected much by this. , his shoes touched the ground, tapping to the rhythm of the music.
It’s not like no one came to invite Dong Xuebin to dance.
For example, there was a female cadre from the procuratorate not far away. She was quite old, around fifty years old. Xu saw that Dong Xuebin was young and alone, so she walked up slowly and wanted to dance with him.
Unexpectedly, someone next to me suddenly reminded him.
The woman from the procuratorate was stunned, then immediately changed direction and invited others.
When Dong Xuebin saw this scene, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. If he had been closer, he would probably hear it. The person next to him only said one sentence.
"That's Dong Xuebin from Guangming Street Office."
The woman left without looking back, and Dong Xuebin's notoriety was evident!
Some people may not have seen him yet, but when it comes to Dong Xuebin’s name, no one in Nanshan District doesn’t know it!
Isn’t this? There were several groups of people on the dance floor who were dancing and talking about Dong Xuebin.
"Which one is Dong Xuebin?"
"The first time Chen Chu saw him? He was the one sitting drinking tea."
"People should not be judged by their appearance. You look quite decent, how can you cause trouble like that?"
"Who knows? Look, he's been sitting alone for more than twenty minutes, and no one asked him to dance. Hey, what do you think he's doing here?"
"He, he has offended too many people."
"Isn't that right? Secretary Anshi and District Chief Yuehua, can you mess with this?"
It's almost nine o'clock.
Unconsciously, the dance came to an end.
Geng Yuehua sat in her duties with a graceful attitude from beginning to end. From time to time, cadres would come over to talk to her after dancing. Even if District Chief Yuehua was not dancing, the surroundings would not be deserted. On the contrary, Dong Xuebin's situation here is more like that. Wang Yuling seems to be pulled by the eldest sister of a family member of a royal cadre. She probably has a good relationship with Wang Anshi's family. She doesn't want Wang Yuling to get too close to Dong Xuebin, so she won't let her go. Dancing with Wang Yuling, Dong Xuebin sat from the beginning to the end after the first two songs. Even though Dong Xuebin's mental quality was not bad, he felt a little uneasy on his face.
Not long after, Geng Yuehua waved, "Pony!"
Ma Li hurriedly greeted him, "District Chief Yuehua."
"Time is running out." Geng Yuehua looked at his watch, "Let's play one last song."
"Okay, I understand." Ma Li immediately found the microphone. After the song ended, he stretched out his hand to signal for the music to stop, and then said: "This is the last song. Please help your partners come forward and let the music stop." Let’s add one more dance to this wonderful night.”
Immediately, everyone in the rest area stood up with a smile.
Dong Xuebin was startled and found that there was no one around. Everyone seemed to have found a dance partner and got off the dance floor to get ready. One couple, ten couples, twenty couples, except Dong Xuebin, there was no exception. It seemed like Nanshan District In the dance held, the tradition is that the last song must be danced, and you can no longer sit down. The more Dong Xuebin looked at it, the more he realized that this was the case. Even though there were more men than women, many female comrades in the art troupe also filled the gap.
As a result, only Dong Xuebin was left.
Of course, District Mayor Yuehua was also sitting there, but he was the district chief, so he could come this way, but it was impossible for Dong Xuebin to be at this level. As a last resort, he had to stand up and look for someone. Dance partner, otherwise this would be too outstanding. However, Dong Xuebin found that there were no "idle" women present. I don’t know if someone did it on purpose or if not everyone from the art troupe was present. Anyway, only Dong Xuebin was left alone.
Naturally, Dong Xuebin became the focus of the audience again. Everyone was waiting for him. It seemed that the music would not play until Dong Xuebin found a dance partner and was ready, which seemed to be a bit mean to him.
Wang Yuling on the dance floor was anxious: "Sister Zhu, dance by yourself, I have to"
"No, you have to dance with the eldest sister." The woman refused to let her go.
"Sister Zhu! Don't make trouble! Our director"... "I don't care about him. You must accompany eldest sister today, otherwise I will file a complaint with your father!"
"Oh, why are you like this!"
The ballroom immediately fell silent, and many people were watching Dong Xuebin's joke.
There is indeed a saying that the last dance here must be danced. In the past, people from the cultural troupe would be free even if they were free, and they would not let the leaders do it alone, but who would have thought that something like this happened today. Zhou Yanru's lover looked a little anxious, but Zhou Yanru just went to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet. There is no way for his wife to go and fill the gap. What should I do? He hurriedly called his wife, not knowing whether it would be late or not.
P.S.
Dong Xuebin has rarely been stared at by so many people when he has grown up. There is no single woman around, so he can't be allowed to find a big man to dance with, right? If no one is watching, it's okay to go to the dance floor and fool around. But now everyone is looking at themselves. Dong Xuebin can't afford to lose this person. Numb, are you doing this intentionally? Want to insult me? Are you sure that I am not popular
The music still didn't play.
Chu Qinghua glanced at Dong Xuebin with a half-smile.
Pan Zhengyi also looked over there with a smile, everyone was waiting.
"The man named Dong is in disgrace today."
"Yeah, haha, I can't even find a dance partner, so popular."
Everyone was talking a lot, and a few people who had drank a little bit loudly urged, "Director Dong! Can you hurry up? Haha, I'm waiting for you!"
Hearing this, Geng Yuehua frowned.
What kind of temper does Dong Xuebin have? He gets annoyed when he hears this.
In fact, it is not that there are no women in the ballroom. At least Secretary Ma Lima, who is standing on the stage with a microphone, is still single, but she does not seem to have the intention to come down to dance. It is probably because she cannot let District Chief Yuehua be outside alone. Sit down, I guess Ma Li will have to accompany you.
Many people looked at Ma Li. Dong Xuebin wanted to invite, but it seemed that Secretary Ma was the only one.
Ma Li pretended not to see it. He held the microphone and waited for the people below to get ready. He even glanced at Dong Xuebin, seeming a bit gloating. The secretary was the shadow of the leader. District Chief Yuehua had an opinion on Dong Xuebin. Secretary Ma naturally He won't have a good look on Dong Xuebin either.
The more annoyed Dong Xuebin became, the thicker his smile became. He straightened his clothes and looked at the anxious Wang Yu and
Ling, Dong Xuebin cast a "it doesn't matter" look. He had offended Wang Anshi. The cadres of the Wang family did not want Wang Yuling to get too close to him. Dong Xuebin also understood.
As for dance partners…
Dong Xuebin glanced at Ma Li on the stage.
Ma Li said calmly: "Director Dong, are you ready?" This was a question knowingly. The blind man also saw whether Dong Xuebin found his dance partner.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "It's almost here, wait a moment."
At this moment, Zhou Yanru, who had gone to the bathroom, finally came back in a hurry after answering her husband's call.
But just when everyone thought that Dong Xuebin had to go to Zhou Yanru, their street office, to support him, or to invite the horse, Dong Xuebin suddenly walked towards the corner in a hurry under everyone's stunned gaze. Geng Yuehua stretched out a hand in front of her.
"Director Yuehua, would you be honored to ask you to dance?" Dong Xuebin said with a smile.
Geng Yuehua raised the goblet and frowned at him without saying a word.
Wang Yuling, Zhou Yanru and others stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
The other cadres were also stunned. They were really convinced that Dong Xuebin asked District Mayor Yuehua to dance
For many years, District Chief Geng has never accepted an invitation from anyone at the dance, no matter when he was the secretary of the street office or when he is now the district chief!
Do you want to invite others
You are not afraid of flashing your tongue either!
No one knows the specific reason why Geng Yuehua never dances with others. It may be that he has a conservative face and is not used to contact with human body, or he may not be able to dance and is afraid of making a fool of himself. Anyway, after so many years, Over the years, an unchanging impression has been formed in everyone's mind, that is, District Mayor Yuehua will not accept an invitation to dance. Without exception, this concept has become deeply ingrained.
What's more, everyone has long been aware of the contradictions and conflicts between Dong Xuebin and Geng Yuehua. They are already in such an irreconcilable relationship, how dare you invite them?
Depend on! How thick-skinned you are!
Dong Xuebin did not have this consciousness. He actually wanted to see what Geng Yuehua's attitude was towards him and whether he was really that indifferent. So he stretched out his hand but did not take it back. He repeated it again expectantly: "District Chief Yuehua" "Excuse me, would you be honored to dance?"
Geng Yuehua frowned. water, put the cup down and look at him.
However, just when everyone thought that District Mayor Yuehua would refuse rudely and might even ignore Dong Xuebin, Geng Yuehua actually reached out with a calm eye and put his hand into Dong Xuebin's. , hummed indifferently.
This "hmm" made everyone dumbfounded!
No matter how cold Mayor Yuehua’s expression was, he still said yes!
I go!
What do you mean? Is the sun coming out in the west today
District Chief Geng actually accepted the invitation to dance? Or dance with Dong Xuebin?
What is this and what is this!
Chu Qinghua and Pan Zhengyi were slightly stunned, while Ma Li, Wang Yuling, Zhou Yanru and others were also stunned!
Not to mention that others didn't react, even Dong Xuebin couldn't believe his ears. He was immediately flattered and felt that the hand holding Geng Yuehua was as heavy as a thousand pounds!
