Power and Wealth

Early in the year three.

Dong Xuebin was awakened by the roaring noise of Lihua Bullet. He sat up from the bed rubbing his dark eyes. After eating breakfast, Dong Xuebin smiled and patted his head in the living room, thinking of the humiliating scene of last night. The relationship with Xie Huilan is afraid that this is the end, so what if you save the benefactor? If you dry her stockings yourself, then you have to be angry with her even better temper.

What do we do? What should we do?

After thinking all morning, Dong Xuebin finally came up with the answer, what should we do? Wait till Xie finds her own account!

At the beginning of 11 noon, Dong Xuebin was ready to go downstairs to buy some firecrackers to play with, to release his depressing emotions, but just waiting for him to pick up his bag and prepare to go out, the phone suddenly rang, it seemed that the electricity showed that Dong Xuebin was stunned, then his face became bitter, it was Xie Huilan's telephone, yesterday she might not be able to reveal herself in person, now this is after the fall? You want to ask yourself about the stockings? But what do you say?

Do you want it? Do you want it?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dong Xuebin answered the phone. "Hello, Xie? ”

“Dong, are you free now? My car's parked in front of your neighborhood. Let's have dinner, okay? ”

Dong Xuebin shouted in his heart. Are you asking me to settle the bill in person?

“... little director? Are you listening? ”

“Ah, yes, well, don't you still have a fever? ”

“I slept a lot, and now I'm fine, I'll wait for you at the door, okay? ”

“Uh, okay, I'll be downstairs, I'll be downstairs. ”

Hang up the phone, Dong Xuebin is going crazy, Xie Xie, don't bring people here, right? But you have to go yourself. Grabbing his hair around the house for several laps, Dong Xuebin finally bit his teeth and said how he loved it. He picked up his bag and went downstairs and walked to the front door of the community. Dong Xuebin has decided to take the close-fitting clothes of the central leadership. This matter is so bad that it can be considered a political event. Xie Xiao can curse if she wants to curse. If she wants to fight, she will never return her hand or mouth. Let Xie Huilan clean up her anger. After all, she is too unreasonable.

Outside the community.

There was a black Audi a6l parked on the side road, and Xie Huilan sat in the driver's seat, as if she were alone.

At the end of the day, Dong Xuebin's heart was faint. The footsteps were slower and slower, and he struggled to move that way.

Looking at the several passes under the windshield, this Audi should be the vehicle of Xie Huilan's unit. Party and political organs' official vehicles have been reformed. In some places, the official vehicles of the organs are strictly ordered to have a double limit of less than 180,000 and less than 1,8l. However, how is it possible to follow this specification in places like Zhongxuan province? A few medium and high-end accessories are sure to come, and that's the face of leadership. Of course, this could also be Xie Huilan's private car, but the probability is not very high, because the most important thing for a political center like Beijing is to keep it light and low profile. Even if you have this economic strength, you have to pay attention to the impact of buying a private car. Let alone Xie Huilan's level, which is that some officials in the Beijing city are at the level of deputy hall, there are also a lot of people riding bicycles to and from work, and nobody wants to plant a trail on it.

After a few decades, Xie Huilan seemed to see Dong Xuebin from the car and pressed the window glass, “What's wrong with the foot? ”

Dong Xuebin very much wanted to tell herself that she had a strange illness that she could not walk, but look at Xie Huilan, Dong Xuebin sneaked that she should still come, bit the back of the teeth, and accelerated the pace immediately, “It's okay, her ankles are a little cramped, maybe it was the wind last night.” Thinking about it, he circled around to the other side, hesitated, pulled the door into the passenger seat, and then looked guilty and lowered his head and stopped talking.

Come on, scold me. Ask me about the stockings!

Dong Xuebin was prepared to greet Xie Huilan for questioning.

“... Director, fasten your seat belt. ”

Instead of looking at her slightly, Dong Xuebin said, "Xie... Director Xie, please criticize me.” When he changed his mouth temporarily, he dared not call Xie anymore.

Xie Huilan looked at him, "... criticizing you for what? ”

Dong Xuebin was so embarrassed, “I was yesterday... yesterday... oh... I am true...”

Who knows, Xie Huilan laughed, “You saved my life yesterday and took care of me back and forth. I thank you for not being too late. Why are you criticizing me? Dong, why did you say that all of a sudden?" Huh? "Xie Huilan smiled." Also, why did you call Director Xie again? Sister Xie, listen to me, right? ”

Dong Xuebin stood still. “But I...”

Xie Huilan looked at him strangely and smiled lightly. “Why? What's going on? Tell me. ”

After listening to Xie Huilan's words, seeing Xie Huilan's attitude, Dong Xuebin stunned for a moment. Then he was surprised and surprised. Did Xie Huilan really think that thing on his stockings yesterday was sputum? Impossible, where is the phlegm like that, and the look on her face yesterday... Don't ask, Xie Huilan must know, 100% know, but now it's as if she doesn't know anything. I'll go, Xie Sister What does that mean? Forget about it? Dong Xuebin quickly said: “Uh, nothing, nothing. ”

“… Are you sure? ”

Dong Xuebin was very certain: “It's okay! ”

Xie Huilan smiled and said, "I hope it's okay. Let's go to the Wangfu Hotel, okay? ”

Dong Xuebin said goodbye. If Xie didn't even mention yesterday's speech, why should she mention it again? And it doesn't seem that Xie Huilan's attitude has alienated him because of the stocking thing. Although I don't understand what Xie Huilan's central leadership is thinking,... Haha, at least he escaped a heist, hmm, hmm, hmm, look at him. The central leadership is the central leadership, how generous is he?

Sweat, but isn't that a big problem?

Audi headed to the Wang Fu Hotel.

Today Xie Huilan is wearing a small black women's suit, which is very skinny and half casual.

Dong Xuebin fastened his seat belt, Yu Guang quickly glanced at Xie Huilanna's black high heels, saw the flesh and silk stockings on her feet, quickly retracted his eyes, and his heart jumped. After all, what happened, even though Xie Huilan behaved randomly again, Dong Xuebin may still be thinking about that thing on his stockings at this time. His face was red and hot. Dong Xuebin was also ashamed to look at Xie Huilan again. His eyes drifted in the trunk and ignored him. That little look was several times more constrained than it had been yesterday.

I can't help it. Somebody's got the handle!

“… what are we looking for?” Xie Huilan glanced at him on the side and his lips kept laughing.

“No, no.” Dong Xuebin refers to a bunch of permits under the window, there are city councils, there are Zhongxuan departments, there are other central ministries, even many family homes, "... cough, look at this. ”

“Oh, hey, I go over there a lot, so there's a little more passes. ”

What do you do in the Shangjing Urban Committee compound of the propaganda department? What's going on with the Treasury? Dong Xuebin was strange, but he didn't ask much.

Half an hour later.

In this awkward atmosphere, Dong Xuebin drove into the parking lot of Wangfu Hotel.

The Wangfu Hotel, one of several five-star hotels in the capital last morning, has seven small multipurpose halls and a variety of conference rooms. Business centers offer multilingual translation services and day and night secretarial services, catering facilities include Western Palm Cafe, Italian Roman Hall, German Bavarian Hall, Chinese Vietnam Show Hall and Chaojiang Spring Hall, Poolside Bar, Fantasy Lounge, etc., more services, child care, tourist service, front desk valuables safe, shoe polishing service, bus or sedan rental service, currency exchange, ATM machine, food delivery service, laundry service, wake-up service, medical support, etc.

As soon as the car stopped, Dong Xuebin, a ghost in his heart, was anxious to get out of the car and open the door for Xie Huilan, hoping to show a hand.

The young man looked at Audi's car number and opened the door to Xie Huilan. He followed a young man with a little book in his hand and quickly said something to the walkie-talkie. Dong Xuebin thought it was normal service. He got off with Xie Huilan, but another car stopped next to him. The two staff members did not open the door for them and stood still.

Now that Dong Xuebin is speechless, what is it? Special services? Most people who can come to Wangfu Hotel are not rich or expensive. Even if Xie Huilan comes here often, even if Xie Huilan is the central leader, you wouldn't be like this?

Xie Huilan seems used to it, “... Xiao Dong, let's go inside. ”

“Hey!” Dong Xuebin quickly followed, deliberately slowing Xie Huilan by half.

Xie Huilan waved and smiled. “You're not my secretary. Will you walk with me? ”

Dong Xuebin hesitated and had to say yes. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Xie Huilan.

At this time, when the two men had just entered the hotel gate, a middle-aged man in a suit slowly greeted them, smiling and reaching out, "Madam Xie, please come, there is a distant welcome, there is a distant welcome.” Looking at that, it seems like he came out to greet Heilan. The staff member's phone call just now is probably the one that called him.

Xie Huilan shook his hand with a smile, “Manager Zhao, what a great driver I am, you are chilling me. ”

Manager Zhao laughed: “Oh, I dare not, the sooner I save the luggage room for you, today is...”

Xie Huilan waved. “Have dinner with friends today. I won't go there anymore. Go... to the bamboo garden. ”

“Okay, I'll set it up right away.” After making a phone call, Manager Zhao said a few words to Xie Huilan, and finally greeted two waiters. He whispered to them what he had said and finally said goodbye. The two waiters respectfully lead the way ahead.

Dong Xuebin was foolish enough to see that Xie Huilan's treatment at Wangfu Hotel was clearly different from that of the others. Does Xie really have that much energy? As soon as the license plate came in, the hotel manager or deputy manager hurried down to greet you? I don't suppose they have the same treatment as the District Clerk for the West End?

Bamboo garden.

It's not a bakery, it's not a special formal occasion, several vine bamboo partitions are around, chairs, tables, all woven by vines, and the floor is covered with winding stone roads, at the end of the water is a green pond, very natural and relaxing smell.

After a few plates of light dishes, Xie Huilan smiled and took a high foot cup, “I know your unit has rules, but this is red wine, I shouldn't be able to pass the quantity, heh, come, let me toast you first, thank you for standing up to save me, thank you for your careful care. ”

Dong Xuebin's face blushed. “You're welcome, I should. ”

After drinking alcohol, Xie Huilan let Dong Xuebin clip the dishes and talk about some of the parents' short topics.

“Xiao Dong, why aren't you with your parents this New Year? ”

“My mother was in North River Province, busy working, and came back for two days in the middle of the year. ”

“What do your parents do? ”

“My mother taught in the country, she was a language teacher, and my father... died. ”

“… sorry. ”

Until now, Dong Xuebin completely relaxed in his heart, knowing that Xie Huilan was not counting the stocking incident with herself this time, but wanted to thank herself for saving her.

Suddenly, Dong Xuebin saw a middle-aged man from the corridor not far away. He looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him on TV. Think, think, think, think. By the way, it was the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipality, Director of the Public Security Bureau, Feng Xueliang, a middle-aged man up and down the age of 50, who might have a luggage room over there. He was walking outside the corridor.

This is the first time Dong Xuebin, a senior official at the deputy ministry level, has ever met a real person. He's definitely in a great mood!

I was thinking about it. Director Feng's gaze swept towards this side randomly, and he stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head and walked towards himself.

Dong Xuebin freaked out. What the hell is this?

“Huilan! Ha ha!” Feng Xuebin looked at Dong Xuebin with surprise, and Feng Xueliang Mercy eyebrows came to the table of his two people with a good eye. “Why did he come to the King's Palace in the middle of the New Year's Eve? ”

Xie Huilan was the one who saw him. He stood up with a smile and shook his hand. "I'm here to have dinner with a friend today. Good New Year Uncle Feng, how's Auntie's health? ”

Feng Xueliang looked at Dong Xuebin, who also stood up, smiled at him, and looked at Xie Huilan: “She, still has an old problem with high blood pressure, let her control her diet and she won't listen to it. This is not true. In the bakery, the big fish have eaten again. I am now lazy to ignore her. Oh, come on, eat. ”

Xie Huilan laughed: “You can keep a belly when I go to toast. ”

“Ha ha, can I get you to drink and get down? All right, come on! ”

Dong Xuebin looked foolish, the standing committee laughed at me? Did you really smile at me? Xie's face is too big, right?

Dong Xuebin knew that Xie Huilan had a background, otherwise he would not have sat on a deputy director under Zhongxuan at a young age, but Audiri's pile of permits, the special treatment of Wang Fu, the city council standing committee's kind smile, he now found that Xie Huilan not only had a background, but seemed to have a big background!!
