New Year's Day has come in a blink of an eye, although the people are not in Dongjiang, Chen Mingyuan still received a lot of greeting calls, especially as Ning Lizhong's power has been consolidated again, and there are many people who take the opportunity to show favor to him.

In the evening, after accompanying Ning Lizhong to visit a ministry leader, Chen Mingyuan received a strange phone call, but the voice from it was somewhat familiar.

There was a hearty laugh on the phone: "Forget me so quickly, it's me, Hou Zhiqing!" ”

Chen Mingyuan came to his senses and said a few words of greeting with a smile.

Hou Zhiqing said with a smile: "I heard Qiqi say that his father will go back to Qiantang tomorrow, I expect you to be still here tonight, Xiuquan and I will discuss holding a send-off banquet for you, you see that if there is no arrangement tonight, everyone will get together. ”

Chen Mingyuan hesitated slightly, he knew that it must be his close relationship with the Mu family that made these high-ranking cadres fall in love, so he tried every means to make friends with him.

To be honest, he doesn't want to get too close to these boys, as long as he maintains a certain amount of goodwill on weekdays, it's almost fine, and if he gets involved in these boys' circles too deeply, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

Hou Zhiqing seemed to understand his thoughts, and added: "Don't worry, this time it's just me and Wang Xiuquan, and if the others come over, it will be a mess, and I'm not comfortable." ”

Chen Mingyuan thought about it, there was really no arrangement for the evening, Ning Lizhong ended this trip, and he wanted to stay at home tonight to accompany his wife and daughter, seeing that Hou Zhiqing was so invited, he still had to give this bó face, so he agreed.

"Do you live in the Dongjiang Provincial Beijing Office? I'll have someone pick you up! ”

Hou Zhiqing's laughter became louder and louder.

Chen Mingyuan said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have a car here, you just need to say the place." ”

Hou Zhiqing was not polite, so he explained the place of the next meeting, which was at the famous Yanjing Hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mingyuan saw that the time was not early, said hello to Ning Lizhong, and then took the special car of the Beijing Office and went straight to the hotel.

Arriving at the door of the magnificent building, a doorman immediately came forward to salute, pulled the car door, and the foreman of the hotel stood at the door of the car, Shi Li said: "Hello distinguished guests, do you have an appointment?" ”

Chen Mingyuan got out of the car and said, "My surname is Chen, and I have an appointment with Mr. Hou Zhiqing!" ”

The foreman's attitude was a little more respectful, and he raised his hand and asked: "It turns out that Mr. Chen, hello, the room booked by Hou Gongzi is here, please follow me." ”

Chen Mingyuan glanced at the driver and said with a smile: "It's just a meal, you can come together." "This trip is not about work, there is nothing to avoid, and the big holiday is to let the driver pick up himself, and it is cold, if you let the family wait outside, it is a bit too much.

At first, the driver waved his hand in fear, but seeing Chen Mingyuan's resolute attitude and his greed for the delicacies of the Yanjing Hotel, he agreed, and he was very impressed by the approachability of the big secretary.

The three of them walked into the hotel, Chen Mingyuan was about to pass through the hall, and with a chance glance, his footsteps stopped, but he saw that in the sofa area not far away, a beautiful woman was sitting there alone, it was Chen Guoliang's wife Ni Guangzhi!

After thinking about it, he asked the foreman to wait first, walked to Ni Guangzhi's side, and said with a smile: "Auntie, such a coincidence, you also come here to eat." ”

Ni Guangzhi looked up, was stunned, and said in surprise: "Mingyuan? How are you in Yanjing? ”

"Accompany the leader to do something, and I made an appointment with a friend to have dinner here in the evening." Chen Mingyuan replied casually: "Auntie is alone? ”

Ni Guangzhi knew that he had come from the secretary of the provincial party committee who accompanied Dongjiang Jian, so he didn't ask too much, and replied: "I also made an appointment with a friend to talk about things here." ”

She sneered again: "You kid is really good, you have come to Yanjing so many times, why don't you know how to come to your aunt's house to sit and let outsiders know about it, and you still think there is any contradiction in our family." ”

"Why, it's really a tight schedule, and I'm worried that you have something to do, so I'm embarrassed to bother."

Chen Mingyuan said a few perfunctory words, in the past two years, he has accompanied Ning Lizhong to Yanjing several times, but each time he is in a hurry, and his special position makes it inconvenient to visit.

And to be honest, his relationship with this aunt is very ordinary, and it can be called cold.

When Chen Guoliang followed the old man to work in Yanjing, he met Ni Guangzhi, who was still a college student, and the two quickly concluded a marriage, but although she has been married into the Chen family, she has always put on a posture of an imperial city, and she is unwilling to return to Zhonghai to honor her in-laws.

Thinking that at the beginning, when she was criticized by the family, Ni Guangzhi had been watching coldly, no need to guess, she must have some schadenfreude in her heart, after all, if she and her mother really lost power in the family, then the biggest gainer was her family, and the heir of the old Chen family was naturally her cousin Chen Mingke.

When he regained the favor of the family by changing bit by bit, Ni Guangzhi's attitude gradually changed, at least on the surface, he was much more polite to himself and his mother, Chen Mingyuan did not have the same knowledge as her for the sake of family harmony, but he never thought of getting closer to each other, especially when Chen Guoliang left Yanjing, he had no reason to see her.

But at this moment, the surface politeness still has to be done.

At the same time, the clansmen of the Qiu family were eating together.

Compared with the Mu family, the Qiu family can be regarded as a withered person, the old man Qiu has no brothers and sisters, only one son, and is now the president of a military industrial enterprise, and when he arrives at Qiu Kexin, the Qiu family has been a single heirloom for three generations.

Qiu Kexin, the only seedling, is the baby bump of the three generations of the Qiu family, and it is a collection of thousands of pets.

But recently, the old man Qiu is not very pleasing to the eye, Qiu Kexin is twenty-seven years old, but he has not yet been qualitative, all day long he only knows that the road is flying outside, attracting bees and butterflies, which makes the old man Qiu very dissatisfied, according to his expectations, he wants Qiu Kexin to get married quickly.

At the dinner table, Old Man Qiu urged the marriage again, "Kexin, as soon as the New Year passes, you are a year older, it's time to put this matter on the agenda." ”

Qiu Kexin had a headache, he still wanted to continue to live happily for a few years, but unfortunately the few businesses at hand still needed to rely on the family's power in the military.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and he said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, grandpa, I have a sense of proportion in this matter." ”

Old Man Qiu widened his eyes and said: "It's good if you have to be measured, why should I worry so much about being old, and besides, stay away from Ning Lizhong's girl in the future!" ”

Qiu Kexin muttered: "I just want to take care of other people, people are probably not happy, her father has stepped into the politics/bureau with one foot, why do you need to look at our family's face!" ”

Originally, the Qiu family wanted to take advantage of Ning Lizhong's back to win over Ning Lizhong through his marriage with Ning Qiqi, but he didn't expect that the situation was unpredictable, Ning Lizhong not only survived, but also was recognized by several major factions, and it was almost ironclad to enter the political/bureau next year.

Although the voice of this grumble was low, everyone still heard it clearly.

Old Man Qiu was furious and shouted, "You big rebellious bastard! ”

Qiu Kexin's face turned pale when he boarded, and he knew that he was in trouble, and the old man had been embarrassed because of this matter recently, who dared to mention this, this is not the short time of revealing the old man!

"Grandpa, I just made a slip of the tongue ......"

Qiu Kexin panicked and didn't know how to explain it.

Old Man Qiu's face was cloudy, and the room was so quiet that no one dared to squeak.

"Useless things, do some bastard things, the lesson a while ago is not enough, if you don't make up those dirty things behind your back, you will be caught by the girl of the Mu family! It didn't hurt our family to almost become the laughing stock of the entire Sijiu City!

Old Man Qiu scolded him with a slap in his face: "Until now, that liar officer is still detained, can't you see what it means?" The Mu family almost put a knife on our necks, forcing our family to back down, because of you, how much we have suffered! ”

Qiu Kexin was trained to be red-faced, and stayed up until the old man was tired of reprimanding and returned to the bedroom to rest, and then drove to the city stupidly.

When he came to the Yanjing Hotel, Qiu Kexin happened to see Chen Mingyuan sitting on the sofa in the hall.

He was not in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Chen Mingyuan, new hatred and old hatred suddenly surged into his heart.

Last time in Xiaohe Mansion, this kid really made himself lose face, and now the ugly thing has spread throughout the entire Sijiu City, and whoever sees him makes fun of it, making himself very faceless.

With a roll of his eyes, Qiu Kexin turned around and got into the car, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Chen Mingyuan sat in the hall and chatted with Ni Guangzhi for a long time, seeing that she was absent-minded, and looked at the watch time from time to time, he knew that she had something to do, so he got up and prepared to leave.

Ni Guangzhi smiled with a relieved smile: "If you have something to do, get busy first, and when you are free, remember to go to your aunt's to sit."

"Definitely."

Chen Mingyuan was about to sit in the private room, Ni Guangzhi suddenly saw someone coming at the door, hurriedly explained to Chen Mingyuan, and walked over to greet him.

Chen Mingyuan took the opportunity to look over, and saw a glamorous woman walking in, took a closer look, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a well-known female star in Taiwan, named Fu Yuxia.

"Sister Fu Xiaoyi, you're finally here."

Compared with the perfunctory attitude just now, Ni Guangzhi is quite enthusiastic about this celebrity.

Fu Yuxia took off her sunglasses and said lukewarmly: "The road is jammed, I sat in the car for more than half an hour." ”

Ni Guangzhi said with a smile: "That's really unpleasant, I'm tired of Sister Fu Xiaoyi to run this trip, let's go sit inside for a while." ”

Chen Mingyuan was slightly surprised, Ni Guangzhi is also a famous lady, and her mother's foundation in Yanjing is also relatively solid, so she is so kind to a little star at this moment.

Fu Yuxia looked like she didn't like to answer, waved her hand and said: "Mrs. Ni, for the holiday today, I have made an appointment with my boyfriend to meet here, time is tight, I think we should talk about things here, it is convenient for you, and I can save things!" ”

Ni Guangzhi's face suddenly turned pale. (To be continued.)
