Wang Feng nodded, went into the house and took out a bag, which was a gift he had prepared for Ye Shixiu.

After a few words of explanation to Li Yang, Wu Ping did not bring a driver, because the boss said that he wanted to invite Wang Feng to eat at home, then it must be a personal friend, and the fewer people who know, the better, although the boss did not say it explicitly, but of course Wu Ping also knew what to do, otherwise he would not be qualified as a secretary.

The car drove all the way through the bustling provincial capital and came to a secluded courtyard. This is the family building of the municipal party committee in the provincial capital, which is commonly known as the compound of the municipal party committee, and stops in front of a small building with a single courtyard. Wu Ping rang the doorbell, and a middle-aged woman came out of it, and Wang Feng could guess her identity when she looked at her temperament and appearance, and called out with a smile: "Hello Auntie, I'm Wang Feng." ”

It was Ye Mengmeng's mother who came out, a person in her fifties, who was well maintained, looked like she was in her forties, and she was very beautiful, it seemed that Ye Mengmeng was with her mother.

She smiled: "Oh, it's Wang Feng, please come in, Mengmeng was really thanks to you that time in Haicheng, I always wanted to thank you, but you always refused to come to the door, it's really hard enough to see you, hehe." ”

Entering the small building, Ye Shixiu also came out. He is also in his early fifties, and there is not much hair on his head, so it seems that being a secretary is a very tiring thing. But the figure is still good, not fat or thin, and it looks quite healthy and strong. Wang Feng said: "Secretary Ye is good. Ye Shixiu smiled and said, "Wang Feng, you are very difficult to invite, you are very busy! ”

Wu Ping hesitated at the door, he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to stay, but Ye Shixiu didn't speak, so he felt that it was not good to leave, and it didn't seem good to stay. Wang Feng turned around and said, "Secretary Wu, you also come in." "Wang Feng is a guest, not a person in the officialdom, he can speak very casually, but just such a sentence, Wu Ping is already very grateful.

Because this greeting means that Wang Feng has a very good impression of him, no matter who Wang Feng is or what his relationship is with Ye Shixiu, he must have an extraordinary friendship, because Wu Ping has never seen Ye Shixiu entertain at home. Therefore, Wang Feng's words seem to carry a lot of weight, at least it will let Ye Shixiu know that he is polite enough to Wang Feng, and this is enough.

In officialdom, especially at this level, the details can sometimes decide a lot of things. It's not as simple as the interaction between ordinary people.

Sure enough, Ye Shixiu's wife said: "Wu Ping, what are you doing standing there?" Hurry up and come in, we will eat together for a while, there are only Wang Feng as guests today, and there are no outsiders. Wu Ping agreed, came in to get tea and pour water, and fulfilled his duties.

Regardless of whether Ye Shixiu and his wife had the intention of leaving him or not, Wang Feng said this, it must be left behind. So Mrs. Ye has to say this, as for the real situation, except for the two of them, probably no one knows.

But Wang Feng felt that it didn't matter, because he was not familiar with Ye Shixiu, and it was impossible to say anything private when they met for dinner for the first time.

So even if he stays with Wu Ping, it doesn't matter, he knows that it is very important to have a good relationship with Wu Ping. Because no matter what happens in the future, it will definitely be Wu Ping who will come forward to help with it, and it is impossible for Ye Shixiu to come forward in person. Just now, Wang Feng discovered Wu Ping's embarrassment out of the corner of his eye, so he said a word and let him stay smoothly.

Mrs. Ye exchanged a few words with Wang Feng and went into the kitchen to get busy, and Wu Ping also followed. He didn't know if Ye Shixiu and Wang Feng had anything to talk about? Anyway, it was better for him to avoid it for a while and leave room for them to speak.

Because Wang Feng is not a person in the system, Ye Shixiu does not put any secretary's shelf on him, nor does he need to talk to him in the tone of a secretary. As a father, he once again thanked him for his rescue in Haicheng, and also asked him if he had suffered any grievances because of this matter? Wang Feng replied one by one, Ye Shixiu saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was calm, and secretly said in his heart that this young man was quite stable.

He pointed to the bag that Wang Feng was carrying and said, "Didn't Mengmeng tell you that I don't accept gifts?" Besides, we should thank you and give you gifts, so you are really hard to accept this thing, let's take it back later." ”

This is the rule he set for himself and his family, that is, it is strictly forbidden to accept gifts, and no gifts will be accepted, although it is a bit impersonal, but it can directly avoid a lot of trouble.

For example, now people in the provincial capital know that Secretary Ye does not accept gifts, and giving gifts is also ugly, and it may even cause Secretary Ye's disgust, so no one dares to bring gifts to his house, and after a long time, everyone will get used to it.

Not to mention anything else, at least Ye Shixiu's refusal to accept gifts is well known to everyone in the city, and based on this alone, everyone thinks that Ye Shixiu is a good official. Some people say that he is a show, but some people say that at least Secretary Ye is willing to behave, isn't that better than other people who are not willing to do it?

Wang Feng smiled: "I told me, but she also said that simple things can still be brought, otherwise it will be my rudeness." Ye Shixiu smiled: "You probably know that this little girl likes to talk nonsense the most, right? You can also listen to what she says? Okay, I'll see what kind of good things are first, if it's too valuable, I still can't accept it, please understand." ”

Wang Feng took the bag and said: "If you say it's valuable, it's also valuable, and if it's not valuable, it's not valuable." Ye Shixiu smiled: "What are you talking about? Tell me where to slip away...... Huh?" he saw that Wang Feng took out two bottles of wine and two cigarettes from the bag, ordinary tobacco and alcohol are indeed not valuable, even if it is Moutai Zhonghua, it is only one or two thousand things, but Ye Shixiu was stunned.

Because what Wang Feng took out was a special Moutai, this is not an ordinary special offer, but a superb special Moutai, except for some leaders in the capital, other people don't talk about drinking, even if they see it, they may not have seen it. The cigarette is a special red panda, which is produced by the Shanghai Cigarette Factory and is also a special supply.

Ye Shixiu's position can also be said to be well-informed, what kind of good cigarettes and good wine have he never seen? But to be honest, Wang Feng brought these two special offerings, and he really hasn't seen much. My brother, who works in the ministries and commissions of the capital, once got two bottles of this kind of Moutai, and he hid them and was reluctant to drink them. Where did this Wang Feng get these things? Ye Shixiu couldn't help but be curious.

Wang Feng These things were also given to him by others, and after Zhou Chuxin's grandfather, Old Man Zhou, returned to the capital, his body became stronger and stronger day by day, and he naturally thought of Wang Feng's goodness.

After greeting him several times, he refused to go to the capital, and the old man always felt deeply regretful. So every once in a while, he asked someone to bring him something, what was the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, the red robe of Wuyi Mountain, and these rare cigarettes and alcohol.

The old man naturally wouldn't be stingy when he made a move, so he gave a box of the same, Wang Feng knew the preciousness of this thing, and it was perfect to give it to people, especially people of Ye Shixiu's level. Because the value of this itself may not be high, but it is a status symbol, and its invisible value is far higher than its own value. And Ye Shixiu is also the person who can see this value at a glance.

He picked it up and looked at it, and said with a smile: "You kid has a lot of ability, this is not easy to get." Okay, I'll make an exception today, and I'll accept your gift. ”

Of course, he knew that he knew the preciousness of this thing, and he also knew that it was really not very valuable strictly speaking, Wang Feng's gift could be said to have arrived at home, even he couldn't refuse this temptation.

Wang Feng put the things back in the bag, no matter what kind of gift it is, it is also a gift, and it doesn't look good on the table. Ye Shixiu didn't ask Wang Feng where these things came from, a person of his identity already knew how to hide his curiosity, although he was really curious about it.

The meal is very simple, two meat and two vegetables, four dishes and one soup, it is a home-cooked meal. However, Wang Feng naturally does not pick on meals, and like the gifts he brought, the symbolic meaning of this meal is far greater than the actual meaning. Being able to have a family banquet at the home of Ye Shixiu, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial City Party Committee, is something that many people cannot hope for.

During the banquet, Ye Shixiu opened a bottle of Wuliangye, and when he heard that Wang Feng didn't drink alcohol, he didn't force him. Wu Ping drove in, and he couldn't drink, in fact, even if everyone drank, the atmosphere would definitely not be warm. It's better to drink it at all. Mrs. Ye snatched the wine and said that the guests don't drink it, what do you drink yourself?

Ye Shixiu said in disappointment that you two are really choking, you can pour it if you don't drink it, this is good, I don't drink alcohol! The secretary is so humorous, everyone naturally laughs politely. The atmosphere was not warm, but it was relaxed.

Speaking of Wang Feng's Galaxy Company, Ye Shixiu said that it is not easy for young people to start a business, and they should be supported, but they must not cause any quality problems, otherwise he will be the first to refuse. Wang Feng is naturally submissive, although Ye Shixiu said so, but he must have remembered the name Galaxy Company, and that was enough.

Mrs. Ye told Wang Feng about some parents, and asked him if he was married, what did his wife do, did he have any children, and how old was he? Although they were all trivial, they could also understand a lot of things about a person.

For example, when Mrs. Ye heard the name Lin Yuehan, she had the impression that she was an entrepreneur, young and promising. And Lin Yuehan's father Ye Shixiu has also heard that it is Lin Mang, a famous entrepreneur in Haicheng, this person is very decent, so his daughter must not be wrong, a serious child. It can be inferred from this that this Wang Feng should also be good.

In short, the meal was good, and after eating, Wang Feng got up and said goodbye after drinking a cup of tea, Ye Shixiu did not keep him, and told Wu Ping to send Wang Feng back safely. He and Mrs. Ye have been sending Wang Feng to the gate of the courtyard, which can be regarded as an exception, after all, Wang Feng is their daughter's savior, no matter what age he is, what identity he is, this kind of heart will always be there.

Wu Ping sent Wang Feng to the hotel where he lived, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to say goodbye, Wang Feng said that Secretary Wu was okay and went up to sit down? Wu Ping immediately readily agreed. When Wang Feng went up to the room, he became the master, made tea and poured water, and the two chatted for a while.

Wu Ping asked Wang Feng's age, the two were the same age, but Wu Ping's birthday was a little younger, so he simply changed his mouth to call Wang Feng Brother Wang, and Wang Feng naturally accepted it happily. When everyone calls each other brothers, they are more affectionate.

Wu Ping felt that Wang Feng was actually really interesting, and he was originally approaching him with a purpose, but he didn't expect to have a good impression of him, and felt that it was actually not bad to be friends with him. The two chatted speculatively, and Wu Ping didn't get up to say goodbye until late at night, it was too late, and if he sat down again, it would affect people's rest.
