In the evening, when I drove onto Binjiang Avenue, my vision suddenly broadened, the twilight dyed by the red glow of the surrounding sky was gorgeous and colorful, and the river was also sparkling, and I couldn't see the turbidity I usually saw, Xie Zhi wanted to park the car on the side of the road to rest.

At this time, the mobile phone rang, Xie Zhi glanced at the mobile phone screen, saw that it was her brother's phone, picked up the earphones and stuffed them in her ears, answered the phone and asked:

"Brother, why are you looking for me at this time?"

"Brother-in-law's house, can't you come over at night?" Xie Chengjiang asked on the phone.

"You can just go with Dad, what am I doing there?" Xie Zhi asked lazily.

Everyone knows that when they went to their uncle's house for dinner today, on the surface, it was difficult for Song Hongjun to get Xu Cheng to come, but in fact, Shen Huai led Cheng Yi into the door today - Xie Zhi had no intention of joining in the excitement, and even wanted to take Xie Tang out.

She didn't know what Xie Tang thought, maybe she didn't want to embarrass Shen Huai in front of Cheng Yi, or maybe she insisted on staying at home in order to take care of the overall situation of the Song family.

"Song Hongjun also made an additional appointment with Lao Ye, are you really not coming?" Xie Chengjiang asked again.

"Ah," Xie Zhi just said that she didn't want to go to her brother-in-law's house for dinner at night, and when she heard the news, she was a little knotted, and she was stunned for a while before asking, "What does Shen Huai want to talk to Brother Ye about?"

Ye Xuanfeng's background is ordinary, but his father-in-law served as deputy director of the Ministry of Electric Power, and Dai Chengguo was a comrade-in-arms in his early years, and later he was also a subordinate relationship for many years, and the two families had very close contacts.

Dai Chengguo personally also appreciates Ye Xuanfeng's ability, over the years, let him go to the subordinate research institutes, enterprises to exercise, after doing results, and then transferred to the side as a secretary, and then to Huaihai Group as vice president, deputy secretary of the party group, and then replaced Song Wenhui, fully presided over the work of Huaineng Group, all the way to the smooth career, this year is only 42 years old, is already a director-level central enterprise official, in the new generation is also regarded as the number one person.

Today said that it was a family banquet, and those who were close to Xucheng could rush to Xie Tang's house for dinner, but in fact, Shen Huai led Cheng Yi into the door, and Song Hongjun came forward to pull some people to join in the fun, in order not to embarrass the scene.

However, no matter who Song Hongjun pulls, he can't pull Ye Xuanfeng up.

If Song Hongjun insisted on asking Ye Xuanfeng to go to the banquet together, it could only be that Shen Huai had something to talk to Ye Xuanfeng.

Xie Zhi asked, he knew that some questions were redundant, Shen Huai had just gone to Ji Province to see Cheng Wenguang and Ji Chengxi, and he passed through Xucheng on the way back from Ji Province without delay, so he wanted to take the opportunity of today's family banquet to meet Ye Xuanfeng, so it was naturally not difficult to guess what he was thinking.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhi wanted to see the meeting between Shen Huai and Ye Xuanfeng tonight.

Xie Zhi asked uncertainly, "Are you sure Brother Ye will come over?"

"Why don't you come?" Xie Chengjiang asked rhetorically on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll come over later. Xie Zhi said.

What Shen Huai and Ye Xuanfeng will talk about when they meet, she is a little patient, and she can naturally hear it from other people's mouths later, she still doesn't worry about how Shen Huai's muddy bastard will make Xie Tang react when he enters the door.

**********************

Xie Zhi went back to the company halfway, and then drove to Xie Tang's house, and the twilight was already thick.

In late autumn, the trees on both sides of the road are sparse and sparse, and the cement pavement and the trees and gardens next to it are blown up by the wind from time to time, and the yellow leaves fall on the car windows.

This piece is the provincial party committee and the provincial government family residential area, in addition to a few apartment buildings along the front street Yanjing Road, to the north all the way to the Qingjin River are the whole piece of small buildings, all of them are built in the middle and early 80 years, with brick-red face bricks, with years of precipitation, rain washed old traces, can not see the luxury, but the forest is deep and secluded, is a rare quiet place in Xucheng.

When he went to the alley outside Xie Tang's house, he saw that several cars had been parked in front of him, so Xie Zhi pulled over and stopped the car.

As soon as Xie Zhi stopped the car, Liu Jianguo then drove over - Xie Zhi thought that Liu Jianguo would not join in today's excitement, but thinking that Shen Huai was going to talk to Ye Xuanfeng about things today, it was not strange for Liu Jianguo to come over, so he stood on the side of the road and waited for him to get out of the car together.

Song Hongqi, her brother, and her father's car in Xucheng, Xie Zhi all recognized, in addition, there was a black Audi and a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz - Xie Zhi guessed that the Audi should be Ye Xuanfeng's new car, and the silver-gray Audi should be Song Hongjun's car in Xucheng.

Xie Zhi looked at it, she went back to the company and delayed for a while, it was almost half past six, Song Hongjun and Shen Huai rushed over first, it would not be strange.

Xie Zhi thought to herself: After her brother-in-law moved his family to Xucheng to take up his post, Shen Huai had never stepped into this house once, what would he feel when he entered the door with Cheng Yi today?

Thinking of Shen Huai's handsome-looking but indescribably boring face, and thinking of Shen Huai's various teasing of himself in Donghua before, Xie Zhi didn't want to make this muddy ball comfortable today, and wondered in her heart: What do you say in the first sentence when you enter the door, can you stab the sore spot of this muddy ball?

Before entering the courtyard, he heard the sound of laughter inside, Xie Zhi looked inside, and saw that everyone was talking in the front yard, Cheng Yi and Song Hongjun were there, but they didn't see Shen Huai.

Xie Zhi thought that Shen Huai was on the left and right, and raised her voice slightly to greet Cheng Yi: "The bride has come to the door, where is the groom hiding......

Cheng Yi looked back and saw Xie Zhi and Liu Jianguo coming in together, she and Shen Huai entered the door with the intention of seeing their parents, and they would mention the engagement later, so Xie Zhi shouted so loudly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Shen Huai has something to do temporarily, and he called someone to leave halfway, and he will come over in a while." ”

"Shen Huai is worthy of being a busy man, and he is still entangled in official business in Xucheng. However, who is so big that a vice governor and a central enterprise boss are waiting for Shen Huai to have a meal, and he intercepts people halfway?" Liu Jianguo, who came after him, asked indifferently.

Cheng Yi knew that Shen Huai had a grudge with Liu Jianguo about the backdoor listing of Meigang, Liu Jianguo was very narrow-minded, and he would not have anything good to say when they met.

Liu Jianguo was unrelenting and asked: "Who the hell is it, it can't be Tian Jiageng, secretary of the provincial party committee, right? Except for Tian Jiageng, I really can't imagine anyone else who can let us wait here." ”

Xie Zhi also wanted to echo Liu Jianguo and say a few words that hurt Shen Huai, but seeing that her brother's face was slightly gloomy, instead of responding to Liu Jianguo's ridicule of Shen Huai, her eyes flickered a little, her heart jumped, and she said secretly: Could it really be that Tian Jiageng stopped Shen Huai halfway?

Song Hongjun glanced at Liu Jianguo's mocking face that didn't have any city government at all, just smiled in his heart, and said: "It's really unfortunate, we met Secretary Tian halfway back by car, and Secretary Tian called Shen Huai over and said a few words - if you can't wait to start eating, turn left and walk to the end of the alley when you go out of the courtyard to Secretary Tian's house, you go over and shout." ”

Song Hongjun's words immediately made Liu Jianguo's face hang there and couldn't be erased, he froze there, and if he tapped it, the hard-to-see smile would fall down like broken ice slag.

Cheng Yi also glanced at Liu Jianguo at this time, thinking that there was really someone who put his face up to find someone to beat.

Xie Zhi smiled dryly, and felt bored, thinking that there was a gift to Xie Tang from Hong Kong that was not taken out of the car, so he turned around and walked out of the yard again, and just stepped out of the courtyard door, but saw Shen Huai standing outside taking out a lighter to light a cigarette.

Xie Zhi was also stunned when he saw Shen Huai, presumably he heard Liu Jianguo's few words of implicit sarcasm, but he was strange that he did not go straight into the courtyard to embarrass Liu Jianguo in person, but stood outside the courtyard alone and smoked.

The twilight was already deep, but the street lamps hidden in the branches of the trees had not yet turned on, only the lighter flames gave the wind a flickering light, reflecting Shen Huai's face with no superfluous expression.

Xie Zhi didn't know what Shen Huai was thinking at this time, thinking that he had been true to Liu Jianguo, her brother or others in the past, how could he change his personality today, and because he didn't want to embarrass Liu Jianguo, he stood outside the courtyard and smoked for a while?

Xie Zhi thought about it again, did Shen Huai want to put on a low posture today, and didn't want to stiffen the atmosphere because of Liu Jianguo? However, dogs can't change their eating, and Shen Huai, who has always been used to being rampant and domineering, and doesn't give others room for it, lowered his posture today, I'm afraid that it is because Cheng Yi is here today, and he wants to pretend to be a gentleman, or is it because he has to lower his posture when he meets Ye Xuanfeng today to discuss?

Xie Zhi glanced at Shen Huai twice, and had no intention of telling the people in the courtyard that Shen Huai heard Liu Jianguo's words outside the courtyard, and looked at Shen Huai for two or three seconds, then walked to the car and took out the gift for Xie Tang.

Shen Huai looked at Xie Zhi bending down from the car with two well-made character models, knowing that they were given to Xie Tang, and when Xie Zhi came over, he asked, "Why does Xie Tang still like to collect these things?"

"She's always loved it. Xie Zhi glanced at Shen Huai, answered, and didn't say anything.

Shen Huai pretended not to hear Liu Jianguo's words, and after half a minute, Liu Jianguo really thought that Shen Huai didn't hear it, and said to Song Hongjun that his face eased again, changed his face with a grinning face, and asked Shen Huai: "Secretary Tian came to you, do you have any supreme instructions to convey to us?"

Shen Huai glanced at Liu Jianguo, and said lukewarmly: "Secretary Tian is leaving Huaihai, but he is still thinking about the future development of Huaihai. ”

Shen Huai saw Cheng Yi, Song Hongjun, Ye Xuanfeng, Xie Chengjiang, and Liu Jianguo standing in the courtyard talking, and his father and Xie Haicheng probably heard him coming at this time, so they opened it and walked out of the study.

Xie Haicheng stood in the corridor and asked, "What did Secretary Tian talk to you about?"

Xie Haicheng relied on the old and sold the old, but Shen Huai had no intention of telling him the content of his conversation with Tian Jiageng, and said perfunctorily: "I didn't say anything, I just chatted casually." ”

Shen Huai refused to leak any news, and Xie Haicheng had nothing to do, he knew that Tian Jiageng and Shen Huai met at the intersection, and it was impossible to say that he often called Shen Huai over to talk alone for half an hour.

Tian Jiageng is leaving Huaihai, but he has served in Huaihai Province for three years as secretary of the provincial party committee, whether it is to make many of the policies he has implemented in Huaihai province continue, or to do some preparatory work for the arrival of the new provincial party secretary, it is also a common practice to talk to the main officials in the province before leaving.

Even if it was a temporary conversation, Xie Haicheng didn't expect that Shen Huai would be qualified to be among Tian Jiageng's interlocutors - Xie Haicheng glanced at his brother-in-law Song Bingsheng, thinking that Song Bingsheng probably didn't find Tian Jiageng to talk alone, right?

However, Xie Haicheng was more worried that this would put additional pressure on Ye Xuanfeng's next conversation with Shen Huai.
