Chapter 22 Life Needs to Be Thick-skinned

There was a "squeak" sound, and the door was not closed tightly for people to push open from the outside.

Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong were playing chess, Xiong Dailing stood behind his father to beat his back, and Xiong Wenbin's lover Bai Sumei stood at the kitchen door with a rolling pin in her hand and talked.

When they saw Shen Huai break in without knocking, they all looked at him a little strangely.

"Secretary Shen, is there something wrong?" Bai Sumei asked suspiciously.

Although Shen Huai also lived in the tube building, there was no one in his eyes, Bai Sumei nodded and greeted this young man when she first met her, and ignored it three or four times, and she was disgusted with this young man in her heart;

I haven't said hello a few times for most of the year, and when I saw him suddenly push the door in, Bai Sumei naturally felt strange in her heart.

Xiong Wenbin was also strange, but he only glanced sideways at Shen Huai, and still played chess without hurrying.

Zhao Dong was not as calm as Xiong Wenbin, they were also chatting about Chen Mingde's sudden death due to illness just now, and Shen Huai's previous beating of Ge Yongqiu's brother-in-law at the city steel mill.

This is probably the most hotly discussed thing in Donghua City in the past four or five days.

Zhao Dong still has the phone number copied to him by Shen Huai in the ticket folder, but they don't know the more detailed situation, but thinking that Chen Mingde died suddenly due to illness, Shen Huai has no backer from now on, if he doesn't leave Donghua, he may not have a good life in the city government.

People can't survive alone, especially as an official, they must have their own circle.

Shen Huai couldn't sit back and wait for Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong to accept him, knowing that they would not have a good impression of him, it was too difficult to change this impression, and it would take time, so he decided to take the initiative and break into their circle.

Facing the doubts of a room of people, Shen Huai smiled and said, "Director Xiong and Section Chief Zhao are playing chess!" Cheekily walked over, leaned over to the chessboard and looked at it, and said, "Section Chief Zhao's chess momentum is not optimistic, you are not Director Xiong's opponent, why don't you let me have a game with Director Xiong?"

Zhao Dong originally had a good impression of Shen Huai, but when he said this, that good impression was shattered.

His chess strength is much worse than Xiong Wenbin, he knows it in his heart. There is no one in this whole building who can be better than Xiong Wenbin's chess skills, he also sat down and let Xiong Wenbin abuse and kill, and he was addicted to chess, but Shen Huai, a person who did not know the boundary, broke in, and suddenly said this, it was too abrupt and rude.

However, Zhao Dong is a person with a modest personality, even if he is unhappy, he will not show it excessively, seeing that Shen Huai is going to rush to play chess with Xiong Wenbin, he thinks that it is good to ask Director Xiong to kill him, so he stood up and gave up his seat: "Secretary Shen wants to play chess, then good, you come ......"

Xiong Dailing had never seen Shen Huai, and she had just heard her father talk to Zhao Dong about this, and she had a bad impression of him in her heart.

Xiong Dailing was too lazy to watch chess anymore, so she turned around and went into the kitchen to help her mother cook.

Shen Huai's performance was very strange, but Xiong Wenbin's face was warm and he wanted to rearrange the chess.

"Let's go on," Shen Huai said with a smile, "Section Chief Zhao's chess is not too weak, and the two rooks and two horses are still there." ”

Arrogant!

Zhao Dong laughed angrily in his heart, although he had just started this game of chess, he had already eaten a cannon and disrupted his position, even if Shen Huai had Haiwen's professional-level chess strength, it would be difficult to recover the disadvantage.

Xiong Wenbin was silent.

Shen Huai looked at the chessboard for a while, picked up the horse that crossed the river, and jumped back two squares.

Just this move, Xiong Wenbin was secretly moved, arrogance is arrogance, but it is a little arrogant.

In the blink of an eye, he not only saw who made the next move from the direction of the chess position, but also quickly came up with a countermeasure, and shrank back to adjust the chess position that was at a disadvantage, which showed that his chess strength was indeed not weak.

Shen Huai and Xiong Wenbin fell quickly, the car jumped sideways, the pawns flew, and they went down to the endgame in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Dong saw that Shen Huai was able to start his stinky chess game and play to the endgame, only one pawn less than Xiong Wenbin, and secretly felt that Shen Huai's chess strength was really not necessarily weaker than that of Lao Xiong, and he was arrogant and arrogant.

Zhao Dong is such a person, who is really better than him, even if he is a little arrogant, it will not be difficult to accept, he dragged a chair, and sat on the side to watch chess.

Xiong Dailing came out of the kitchen, saw Shen Huai looking up, and asked her, "Are you going to eat?" and turned to his father again, "I lost this game of chess, and after dinner, I will play another game of chess with Director Xiong......"

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.

Xiong Dailing came out of the kitchen at this time to take a look, just thinking that Shen Huai would go back after playing chess, and they would have a good meal, but when she thought that Shen Huai would not be humble, she directly regarded herself as a guest.

Bai Sumei didn't see such shamelessness, but Shen Huai said so, and she couldn't kick people out, so she could only come out and Zhang Luo: "Eat first, and then play chess after eating, you have time......"

"I'll go back first, and you guys will set it up first. Shen Huai stood up and went back to his room first.

Xiong Dailing packed up the chess pieces angrily, and asked her father in a suppressed voice: "Have you ever seen such a shameless?"

Everyone laughed dumbly, I really had never seen such a shameless one, but it was unspeakably strange, and I didn't feel particularly annoying. Shen Huai's performance is like a familiar neighbor who has been in contact with him for more than half a year, and it is not a big deal to have dinner here temporarily.

Seeing Xiong Dailing pouting and a little unhappy, Zhao Dong smiled and said, "I'm afraid where Secretary Shen found out about Mr. Bai's cooking skills!"

Bai Sumei just smiled and asked her little daughter to help bring the dishes out.

Shen Huai soon came over again, changed into a coat, carried two bottles of wine in his hand, and said, "I can't drink, but I heard that Director Xiong and Section Chief Zhao are good drinkers, and I don't know ......if these two bottles of wine are enough for me in the house."

When the youngest daughter came back, and Zhao Dong came to visit her, Bai Sumei specially made a good dish on the table, and then rolled out a pot of lasagna, which is a home-cooked meal.

I also joked about Shen Huai before that Shen Huai was greedy for the cheapness of his family's meal, but I didn't expect Shen Huai to carry two bottles of Moutai in his hand, and the wine alone was much more expensive than the vegetable money.

Shen Huai didn't care about other people's stunned, took the wine bottle and served it on the table, rolled the sleeve tube twice, and opened a bottle of Moutai first, and the pungent aroma of wine filled the room.

Even Xiong Dailing, who usually smells dizzy, praised it: "It's really good wine!"

Zhao Dong had drunk Moutai two or three times before, but he had never seen such a strong aroma of Moutai, and curiously took the wine bottle and looked like it was not much different from ordinary Moutai, and asked Xiong Wenbin: "Director Xiong, have you ever seen this kind of Moutai?"

Xiong Wenbin glanced at the wine bottle, didn't reach out to take it, shook his head, and said, "It's rare." ”

"It's also Mayor Chen who went back to Yanjing and brought back a few bottles of special wine; Mayor Chen is quitting drinking, so I asked him to hide it, I secretly drank two bottles, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Shen Huai said this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, speaking of which Chen Mingde really can't be considered bad for him.

Xiong Wenbin didn't feel anything about Chen Mingde's sudden death, but for the sake of good wine, they were all silent.

Shen Huai asked Zhao Dong again: "By the way, Section Chief Zhao, the matter of Sun Haiwen's sister, did the city steel mill have any results later?"

In the past four days, he secretly went to Meixi Town to visit Xiao Li, but he returned to the city after seeing his sister safe from afar, and there was no excuse to ask about the handling of the crash.

If Chen Mingde is still alive, he can directly instruct the city steel mill to give corresponding compensation. Now that Chen Mingde died suddenly due to illness, Shen Huai thought that Ge Yongqiu and his brother-in-law were probably full of revenge and shame, and the investigation of the crash accident would naturally be over.

"It's also thanks to Secretary Shen that you rejected the conclusion of the investigation that day, and then Director Xiong also helped to speak, and the steel mill agreed to pay Xiao Li's living expenses and tuition fees until ......he worked," Zhao Dong said.

It's not bad for that money at all, the so-called living expenses are only one or two hundred per month, Shen Huai is even more worried that Xiao Li and his sister-in-law Chen Dan are stubborn, and they will suffer losses if they are entangled with the city steel mill for compensation.

Hearing that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved through Xiong Wenbin's intervention, Shen Huai also put his mind at ease and said, "That's good...... but he has no position to express his gratitude to Xiong Wenbin.

"It's really better to take Xiao Li here to live," Bai Sumei thought that the little girl was left alone in Meixi Town, and wiped her tears as she spoke, "Dailing won't come back often when she goes to college, so she should raise an extra daughter......

"What nonsense, Xiao Li still has an uncle in Meixi Town, can you be someone's mother?" Xiong Wenbin said to his wife, frowned and thought about it, and said to Zhao Dong, "When do you go to see Xiao Li, just ask her if she wants to come to school in the city." In this way, you can stay in school on weekdays, and on weekends or something, you can go back to Meixi, or you can live here......"

Before Zhao Dong could answer, Xiong Dailing hurriedly said: "What do you want Zhao Dong to do? I won't go back to school tomorrow, so I'll go to Meixi Town to see Xiao Li." I'll just ask her. ”

"By the way, I'm going to Meixi tomorrow too......" Shen Huai thought that through Xiong Wenbin and Zhao Dong, he would indirectly increase his closeness to Xiao Li, and it would not be abrupt, and when he heard Xiong Dailing say that he was going to see Xiao Li tomorrow, he said that he would go together without thinking too much.

"I don't dare to accompany Secretary Shen. Xiong Dailing glanced at Shen Huai, unimpressed by his sudden enthusiasm, she had seen a lot of this enthusiasm, and Shen Huai was not worse.

Shen Huai couldn't wait to slap himself, the little girl was going to Meixi Town, and he followed him tightly to join in the fun, not to make others think more. I could only pretend to explain for myself easily, and Xiong Wenbin, who was obviously stunned, said: "I may have to go to Meixi Town to work after a while, and I want to familiarize myself with the situation first." It's not appropriate to talk about these things, come on, drink first, and after drinking, you have to play a game of chess with Director Xiong. ”

When Zhao Dong heard Shen Huai say that he was going to work in Meixi Town, his eyes widened, and his curiosity was aroused, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail.

Two bottles of Moutai also gave Xiong Wenbin's lover a glass, and the three of them drank six taels of wine each, and they drank it quickly.

After another game of chess, Shen Huai quickly checkmate Xiong Wenbin's old handsome in the endgame, pushed the chess pieces and stood up, and said with a smile: "It's so late, then I won't bother you......"

Xiong Dailing looked at the wall clock on the wall without concealing it, signaling that it was so late.

Shen Huai smiled in his heart, turned a blind eye to Xiong Dailing's vindictive expression, pushed the door and walked out first.

Shen Huai walked out, and Zhao Dong suppressed his curiosity all night before he couldn't help but spit it out: "Chen Mingde just passed away, and the city is too quick to attack Shen Huai, right?"

Shen Huai went down to Meixi Town, and Zhao Dong took it for granted that he was kicking out of the city government in retaliation.

Thinking about Shen Huai's majestic demeanor when he beat Zhou Dazui at the city steel mill a few days ago, Zhao Dong secretly said to himself, feeling that this situation had become a real thief fast-

"Maybe not," Xiong Wenbin shook his head, but he couldn't think about it carefully, so he didn't say anything more, "He came to Donghua with Chen Mingde, and it is said that he can go back to the provincial capital, and it is quite strange for him to stay in Donghua......"

Zhao Dong was not familiar with Shen Huai before, he really knew Shen Huai, or from Shen Huai beating Zhou Dazui in the city steel mill.

It is not Zhao Dong's style to fight when he doesn't say a word, but when he sees Zhou Dazui punching Shen Huai, he still feels very happy, and Shen Huai has really helped them a lot, and he still has a good impression of Shen Huai.

Today, Shen Huai began to break in, and his skin was so thick that he was speechless, but the next wine was very lively, except for Xiong Dailing's little temperament, everyone was actually not unhappy.

Even if they took advantage of a meal for Shen Huai, they also drank good wine that they hadn't had the opportunity to drink before, and they still took advantage of it, the key is that Xiong Wenbin also had a chess addiction, thinking of this, Zhao Dong said again: "This Secretary Shen's chess strength is really not weak, I haven't seen Director Xiong lose for a long time, if he stays in the city, Director Xiong can find a chess friend......

Xiong Wenbin laughed, playing chess is happy, not winning or losing.

Xiong Wenbin had very little contact with Shen Huai before, and I heard that his style was not right, and he usually looked up and looked down under the eaves to meet him, and he was indeed a character who had no one in his eyes, but looking at his enthusiasm today, he suddenly felt that this young man was not clear.

"Don't you want to beat Dai Ling?" Bai Sumei was a little wary of Shen Huai's sudden enthusiasm today, and said in a suppressed voice, "Besides, Secretary Shen's style is not very ......" Shen Huai's style is not correct, it is not that Bai Sumei has heard of it, but several times I have seen immodest girls in and out of the next room.

The more Bai Sumei thought about it, the more suspicious she felt, for fear that Shen Huai would hit Dai Ling with her idea. Shen Huai usually raises his eyes and looks at them lazy, but Dai Ling came back today, he behaved like a thief exploring the way, and just now he clearly said that he would accompany Dai Ling to Meixi Town.

"Mom, what are you talking nonsense?" Xiong Dailing was unhappy when she saw them talking and pulling it on herself, "His style is not right, what are you doing on me, I don't look at him." ”

"Just your vision," Bai Sumei glanced at her little daughter and said, "You remember for me, you are not allowed to fall in love when you go to school, and you will return to Donghua to work after graduation, don't think that you can fly when your wings grow up." ”

"Who said they were going to fall in love?" Xiong Dailing retorted.
