Dinner was very boring and silent, and whoever wanted to say a word seemed to be able to overturn the whole table.

Halfway through the banquet, Xiong Wenbin, who had an ugly face all night, excused himself to go to the hospital and left first.

Shen Huai ate slowly and methodically, and only said goodbye to Sun Yalin and Song Tong and left the Tan family at half past eight o'clock.

Sitting in Sun Yalin's house, Shen Huai opened the car window to let the cold wind pour in, watching the cold night on the streets of the New Year, and the boundless wanton spread.

This meal was painful, no matter how coarse Song Tong was, he could also feel the traces of the abyss between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping, and after getting into the car, he also exhaled fiercely, and asked in surprise: "This meal is so depressing, why do you and Uncle Tan have a bad relationship?"

"......" Shen Huai reached out to touch the cigarette and the lighter, and felt empty, only to find that the cigarette and the lighter were thrown into Tan Qiping's study, and when he left the study, he forgot to pick them up, and said with a smile to Song Tong, "Where did you see that I and Tan Qiping are not in harmony, and I am very good with him, so I almost pinched him in the study." ”

Song Tong is not deeply involved in the world, although she can see the abnormality of the atmosphere, but Shen Huai doesn't tell her the answer, she still can't understand why there is such a deep contradiction between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping.

Song Tong rarely came to Donghua to play, and it was just a matter of being depressed for dinner, so she naturally wanted to ask her to play happily;

Zhou Zhibai and Yang Haipeng had already arrived at Wanzi Qianhong first, and they didn't enter the box, so they sat on the side of the small stage in the hall and drank - it was too noisy outside, and Shen Huai asked Yang Lili to help them open a box to talk about things.

In the box, Shen Huai told Zhou Zhibai and Yang Haipeng the conditions for his secret discussion with Tan Qiping in the study

"Tan Qiping values Zhou Ming so much?" Yang Lili said suspiciously.

Zhou Zhibai sneered and said, "What can Zhou Ming have? Tan Qiping is just to ensure that the joint venture project is not interfered with." ”

All the negotiations on the joint venture project are about the same, and the agreement is finally signed, and it may not have any adverse effects when it comes to proposing to replace the Chinese general manager, but who wants to take the risk?

In the final analysis, Tan Qiping attaches too much importance to the joint venture project, so he must ensure that the agreement is signed first.

Yang Haipeng sighed lightly:

When such a thing happens, it is inevitable that Xiong Wenbin and Zhou Mingweng's son-in-law will turn against each other, and since Tan Qiping chose to protect Zhou Ming, it is not difficult to imagine that Xiong Wenbin will be kicked aside and sit on the cold bench next.

Yang Haipeng asked Shen Huai: "Where is Old Bear now?"

"Maybe in the hospital. Shen Huai said.

Yang Haipeng looked at his watch, it was already past nine o'clock, thinking that Xiong Dani and the baby might have fallen asleep at this time, and said, "Forget it, I'll contact Lao Xiong tomorrow ......."

"Xiong Wenbin is also unfavorable for the passing years," Zhou Zhibai has no relationship with Xiong Wenbin, and his evaluation is also arbitrary, "He is also a rare person of insight and promise in Donghua, and if he falls down, I am afraid it will be difficult again." ”

Other officials abandoned Tan Qiping, and they could choose the camp again, and Shen Huai could also choose someone to win him over, but Xiong Wenbin couldn't.

Xiong Wenbin's resurrection, although it was recommended by Shen Huai, was directly served as the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee after all, as Tan Qiping's "general manager", and was active in Donghua's officialdom.

The Meigang family gathered under the banner of Shen Huai, and when they came out of the Tan department, they didn't have to worry about what harsh means Tan Qiping would use to retaliate, but if Shen Huai recruited Xiong Wenbin to join the Meigang department, it would be to destroy the most basic rules of the game in officialdom.

Not only will the Song family not allow Shen Huai to break the rules of the game like this, but if Xiong Wenbin insists on "betraying", Tan Qiping will retaliate, and he will probably do whatever it takes - although Shen Huai takes the opportunity to draw a line with the Tan family, the Mei Gang family and the Tan family can only be regarded as branches under the Song family at present.

Tan Qiping only needs to be the secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee for one day, and from now on, Xiong Wenbin will have to sit on the cold bench for a day - this is the end that Xiong Wenbin cannot escape - unless there are other faction figures who are stronger than Tan Qiping and are willing to use Xiong Wenbin.

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

Shen Huai sat in Wanzi Qianhong for an hour, then left first and took the car back to Meixi Town.

Chen Dan's parents live next door, the lights are still on in the house, some people are sitting in the living room chatting, but the window is drawn with a curtain; Shen Huai can't see clearly whether Chen Dan is not at home, but Jin Zi has a sensitive sense of smell and runs out to welcome him with his tail wagging his tail.

Shen Huai gently patted Jin Zi's neck, climbed into the courtyard wall, and hid in Chen Dan's bedroom.

Chen Dan came from his parents' house next door with a kettle, opened the bedroom door, and suddenly saw a person hiding in the house, so frightened that he threw the kettle on the ground.

There was a "pop" sound, the kettle shattered, and the hot water splashed all over the ground, filling the door of the room with a large white steam.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Li and Chen Dan's mother then entered the house, and when they saw Chen Dan breaking the kettle as soon as they came in, they asked.

"Nothing, to see a big mouse slip by. Chen Dan closed the door with his hand.

"Where there are any rats, those who are hairy know how to make excuses," Chen Dan's mother blamed unhappily, picked up the hot water bottle shell, took a broom, and wanted to sweep away the fragments of the bottle gall, "A bottle of gallbladder costs several yuan, you are so careless, I don't know how much money to waste for you." "Watching the water spill into the room, I brought a rag and pushed the door open to blot up the water stains.

Chen Dan was so frightened that he didn't dare to gasp, Xiao Li glanced at Chen Dan suspiciously, and looked twice into Chen Dan's bedroom, and saw Jin jumping in front of the closet, as if he wanted to open the closet door and get into the closet, but he couldn't see anything abnormal.

Chen Dan walked into the bedroom with all hands and feet, asked Jin Zi to hold it and prevent it from jumping around, and said self-deprecatingly: "Where did I say that the big rat came from......"

Chen Dan's mother was not suspicious, cleaned up the mess, and said: "You bring another bottle of hot water, you will smash it again, you will go to the bottle by yourself tomorrow, how old you are, and you are so careless." ”

Watching Chen Dan go to the next room with her mother, Xiao Li opened the closet door, and saw that it was Shen Huai curled up and hiding inside, pitched up and smiled, and said, "I said that Sister Chen Dan saw what big rats?"

Shen Huai was just about to get out, Jin Zifei jumped in, threw him down in the closet, stepped on him and stretched out his tongue to lick his face.

Chen Dan tiptoed back again, carefully locked the door, watched Shen Huai drive the gold away, and crawled out of the closet in embarrassment, funny and sweet, and said with a smile: "Are you addicted to being a thief? Aren't you going to accompany Song Tong to play in Donghua, how can you have time to get out?"

"Who cares about accompanying her," Shen Huai said, almost breaking Chen Dan's, letting him be as fat as a dog, at this time, he was somewhat palpitating, sitting on Chen Dan's fragrant boudoir, taking off his coat, "Eat at Tan Qiping's house at night, I am exhausted from eating;

"I'm bored to death," Xiao Li sat down on his legs and said, "The hotel is not closed for the Spring Festival, but some employees ask for leave to go home, and I will also be pulled over to work as a child laborer, what do you say is the fun of the Spring Festival? Next time, you go back to Yanjing for the Spring Festival, and bring us with you, okay?"

"Okay, I'm very bored when I go back," Shen Huai said, "I can't wait to fly back to see you." ”

"Okay, men are hypocritical, they only tell some deceptive lies, this is really not false at all," Xiao Li said unfairly for Chen Dan, stared at Shen Huai's eyes with a smile, and asked, "Do you think that you have a happy affair with a beautiful classmate during the Chinese New Year, and Sister Chen Dan and I don't know anything about it?"

"Yalin accompanied Song Tong to the hotel to play in the afternoon, and I knew that you would be very busy when you just came back, so I didn't call to tell you," Chen Dan sat over with a smile and said, "Listen to Yalin and them, you spend the Spring Festival in Yanjing, it seems that you are not as boring as you say." ”

"Let me calm down," Shen Huai rubbed his face, changed the subject, and asked, "Then you also know what happened in Lao Xiong's house?"

Chen Danjiao glared at Shen Huai with disgust, blaming Shen Huai for being so blatant in changing the topic, but thinking of Xiong Dani and Zhou Ming's matter, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I plan to go to the hospital with Xiao Li tomorrow to have a look......

"Okay, I'll take time to accompany you tomorrow afternoon. Shen Huai said.

Limited to the rules of the game, although he can't give Xiong Wenbin any help in officialdom, his private interactions are still not restricted.

Chen Dan hesitated for a moment and asked Shen Huai: "It's not appropriate for you to go with us, right?"

"What's suitable or inappropriate," Shen Huai said, and asked Xiao Li again, "How did you complete your winter vacation homework?"

"Don't take people away so obviously," Xiao Lijiao said angrily, "I'm going to sleep with Sister Chen Dan tonight, if you don't leave, just sleep in my room." He walked over and hugged Chen Dan's waist and didn't let go.

Shen Huai pulled Xiao Li's hand away and pushed her out of the room, making Chen Dan giggle.

Chen Dan also knew that there was no way to drive Shen Huai back, so he took hot water to wash him, and got into the warm quilt to talk together.

"Yalin said about your blind date, saying that the other party is quite satisfied with you," Chen Dan snuggled in Shen Huai's arms, felt his tenderness, and said, "I think the other party will definitely not tolerate you having other women outside......"

Love is like a ghost, but no one has ever seen it. The relationship between men and women is more of a vulgar reality. If Xiong Wenbin were not the deputy secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, Xiong Daini would just be from an ordinary citizen family, and he might only be able to swallow his anger about Zhou Ming's cheating after marriage.

But right now, Zhou Ming's derailment has been semi-public, not to mention Xiong Dani's personal feelings, Xiong Wenbin has Xiong Wenbin's dignity, and it is impossible for him to tolerate cheating after marriage and causing Zhou Ming, whose eldest daughter was born prematurely, to enter the door of Xiong's house again.

This situation applies to Shen Huai in the same way, he really wants to marry Cheng Yi, whose father is an alternate member of the zhongyāng committee and may be elected as a member of the zhongyāng committee in two years, and the probability of Cheng Yi tolerating him outside after marriage is negligible.

Shen Huai gently covered Chen Dan's mouth and didn't let her say anything more, only whispered in Chen Dan's ear and said, "You say that I am greedy or shameless." I can do nothing, and I can't do without you. ”

Chen Dan turned around, hugged Shen Huai tightly, put his head on his chest, and said, "No matter how many people you say this, I will treat it as if it were for me alone." Forget it, I can't manage too much, I can stay with you for one more day, even if it's a day......"

Shen Huai was ashamed for a while, but he saw Chen Dan's clear and charming eyes under the night light, and kissed her lightly on the lips.
