Chapter 786: Visiting Xu Minglei
After eating, the three of them drove a black Poussin to Xu Minglei's house, this car was a fake license car that Gao Kun found from a company, with a local license plate, and this car was also half-new, not at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Driving such a car to Xu Minglei's house will not attract the attention of others.
They had already discussed a gift for Xu Minglei in the small canteen of the Land Bureau, and each of them took out 2,000 yuan in cash and sealed it into a big red envelope, and prepared four bottles of Wuliangye and four soft Chinese pieces, and there were no other gifts.
Gao Kun said that this is their practice.
Chen Qingdong felt that this standard was a bit low, after all, Xu Minglei was the secretary of the county party committee, so he sent him such a little thing, which seemed to be a little uncomfortable with his identity.
Originally, Chen Qingdong didn't want to go to Xu Minglei's house with Zhang Yungang and Gao Kun, he planned to seal a big red envelope of 6,000 yuan for Xu Minglei by himself, because the current money is too much, and 6,000 yuan is really nothing to a county secretary.
But since Gao Kun said that this was a convention, Chen Qingdong naturally wouldn't say anything.
On the way to Xu Minglei's house, Chen Qingdong listened to Gao Kun and Zhang Yungang talk about the origin of the house where Xu Minglei lived.
Xu Minglei's family lives in a single-family small general building behind the compound of the county party committee, this building has actually been built for almost ten years, at that time a total of 12 sets, the property rights belong to the county party committee, the deputy county level or above leaders, can have the right to live in a house here, in principle, they can only live here during the work period, once retired, they should move from here.
However, after these old leaders at the county and department level retired, they still live here, but they don't move out, and naturally no one is embarrassed to chase them, so although the twelve general buildings are full of people, there are only two current leaders, namely Xu Minglei, secretary of the county party committee, and Xiang Xiaobin, director of the organization department.
The house where Xu Minglei lives was originally lived by the previous propaganda minister of Liulin County, and he lived in this house for six or seven years.
But he didn't expect that when he was forty-six years old, his career suddenly dawned again, and he was transferred to a nearby county as the head of the organization.
The propaganda minister was naturally reluctant to give up the last chance to shine in his career, so he resolutely went to Linxian to take office.
Since he left Liulin County, he was naturally embarrassed to rely on this house anymore, so he had to move out.
However, it is said that he spent a lot of money to renovate the house at that time, so when he moved from here, the county party committee office also took out a sum of money to compensate him under the decision of the then county party secretary.
It happened that less than half a year after he left, Xu Minglei came to Liulin and took a fancy to this house at a glance, so he asked the county party committee office to change some things according to the style he liked, and then lived here.
Listening to Gao Kun and Zhang Yungang talk about the origin of this house, Chen Qingdong and they have entered the residential area of the county party committee compound, because this is the reason that the leaders live, this residential area is very beautifully designed, full of trees and flowers and vegetation, but because it is winter, most of these green plants have withered and withered, but just looking at this layout, you can feel that it is definitely a good place for green trees to be in spring.
Chen Qingdong came here for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is such a good place in our county, Secretary Xu's vision is really good, and living here will make people's mood much better." β
Gao Kun smiled: "Of course, Secretary Xu is a very tasteful person, and he will not be sloppy at all in terms of quality of life." β
Zhang Yungang also smiled: "Qingdong, you haven't been to Secretary Xu's house before, and when you entered Secretary Xu's house and saw Secretary Xu's home decoration, you were even more surprised!" However, this decoration is mainly due to the original Minister He, and Secretary Xu just added some personal style to the style of this decoration. β
Hearing them say this, Chen Qingdong was really full of expectations for what Xu Minglei's family would look like.
Gao Kun did not park the car downstairs under Xu Minglei, but parked under a big tree nearby, and the three of them knocked on the door of Xu Minglei's house with things.
Soon, the door opened, and a very young girl, who looked to be twenty-four or five years old, very handsome, especially with very white skin, appeared at the door.
Chen Qingdong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this girl, thinking that judging from her age, this girl should not be Xu Minglei's wife, and it will definitely not be his daughter, but she is wearing a home dress, who is this girl?
Gao Kun looked quite familiar with her, and asked, "Xiaoxue, is Secretary Xu at home?" β
The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Hello Director Gao, my uncle is in the study, he said that after you come, go directly to the study to find him." β
Chen Qingdong was stunned again when he heard this! Uncle? Could it be that this is Xu Minglei's niece?
The three of them walked into the room, the girl led the way in front, Gao Kun put the gifts and red envelopes in a corner of the living room, and then walked with the girl to the study, Zhang Yungang and Chen Qingdong followed behind them.
Zhang Yungang seemed to sense that he had doubts about the identity of this girl, so he introduced in a low voice: "This is Secretary Xu's nanny, and also one of his distant nieces, named Wang Xue." β
Chen Qingdong suddenly realized and nodded to Zhang Yungang.
However, Chen Qingdong always felt that Wang Xue, as a nanny, was too beautiful.
In addition, Chen Qingdong also knows that Xu Minglei's wife works in the Provincial Health Department, so they usually live separately, in other words, Xu Minglei usually lives here alone, so it is easier for a girl so young and beautiful to be a nanny for him.
However, Chen Qingdong quickly left these lace things behind, because the decoration of Xu Minglei's house is too beautiful, or rather, this is too artistic!
This is a pure European style decoration, the whole is dominated by dark tones, thick wool carpets, precious solid wood furniture, luxurious leather sofas, luxury crystal chandeliers, and literary and artistic European-style murals...... It's all cleverly put together, and it instantly gives you the feeling of being in one of those European castles in the movie!
Just from these decorations in the living room, Chen Qingdong roughly estimated that the overall decoration cost of this house must be hundreds of thousands, maybe not possible!
It's so beautiful!
In addition to sighing, Chen Qingdong thought that after the appreciation of the stocks he bought during the Spring Festival this year, he should indeed buy a few properties, among which the house that he will use as a new house in the future will be decorated in accordance with the style of Xu Minglei's house!
Before coming to the study, Shi Xue knocked on the door and said softly, "Uncle, Director Gao, they are here." β
Soon, Xu Minglei's voice came from the room: "Okay, let them in." β
Shi Xue opened the door of the study for them, didn't say anything, just smiled at them, and walked out.
Gao Kun and the three of them walked into the study.
After entering, Chen Qingdong saw that Xu Minglei's study was about 60 square meters in area, and it was also decorated in European style, which was consistent with the decoration style outside, and there was a huge mahogany desk on the north side of the room, Xu Minglei was sitting on a boss chair behind the desk, reading with a pair of eyes without frames.
Behind Xu Minglei, there is also a screen made of large stones.
Chen Qingdong knows that this big stone should be the backing stone, and now the officials and businessmen are very superstitious about this set, and they like to put a big stone behind their office chair as a backing stone, which means that they have a backer behind them.
The walls on the south and west sides are filled with large bookshelves, which are stuffed with all kinds of tomes, and I don't know if Xu Minglei is really bookish, or just used for faΓ§ade.
On the east wall is a large floor-to-ceiling window, under which there are many green plants, and pots are growing very vigorously.
From all this he saw when he came to Xu Minglei's house, Chen Qingdong felt that what Gao Kun said was good, Xu Minglei was indeed quite tasteful, and he was also quite good at enjoying life.
"Secretary Xu!" The three of them greeted respectfully and walked over to Xu Minglei.
Xu Minglei took off his glasses, smiled at them, took the glasses and said, "It's all here, why is it so coincidental that you got together?" β
Gao Kun said truthfully: "Secretary Xu, this is actually an appointment we made, we know that during the Chinese New Year, you are also very busy, and we are afraid that it will delay your time too much, so we discussed it and came over together." β
Xu Minglei smiled and said, "That's good, Gao Kun, you will still think about me." Indeed, I am so busy during this time, every year during the Chinese New Year, I feel much more tired than I usually work for two months! It's good that you can come together, and it's also lively! Sit down, don't stand, there are not enough chairs here, Qingdong, you go outside and move two more. β
Chen Qingdong was still a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "No need, Secretary Xu, let's just stand." β
Xu Minglei said with a smile: "Qingdong, you come to my house for the first time this year, and I welcome you to come often in the future, so I have to get you to say the rules, in my house, you must relax, don't be as nervous as in the office, let's mainly chat today, and I don't arrange work for you, you all stand like this, how can we talk." β
Chen Qingdong blushed and said, "Yes, Secretary Chen." β
Xu Minglei smiled again: "Qingdong is still a little nervous, but this is also normal, and I won't be nervous if I come more in the future." Look at Gao Kun and Yun Gang, they're not nervous, right? Hehe, you guys go move the chairs first, let's sit down and have a good talk. β
"Okay, Secretary Xu, then let's move the chairs." Zhang Yun just touched Chen Qingdong, and the two walked out.
