You want to shake your head secretly. Among the new generation of the Mei family, if only Mei Xiaolin is the one who reads the bath. It can be regarded as a kind of sadness, so he asked Mei Xiaolin in a low voice: "Do you still have an older brother or younger brother?" ”

"Just one brother, a cousin and a few cousins. However, most of them are in business, some are doing studies or going abroad, and they are in officialdom, and there are few Mei Xiaolin who also understood what Xia Xiang meant, and sighed and said. "Xiaomu is not suitable for officialdom, he wants to enter the officialdom, and he will become the target of the Mei family. Forget it, send him abroad after a while, do business or study, everything is up to him. ”

After the wedding, Qiu Xufeng had time to chat briefly with Xia Xiang, and repeatedly told him not to open again, and there would be a banquet in the evening. After Qiu Xufeng's introduction, Xia Xiang and Fu Duoduo officially met. However, the two didn't say a few words, and Fu Duoduo also had a faint expression, not interested in Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang had a hunch, and it was estimated that it was in the minds of the Fu family. He has been sent to the cold palace.

The banquet in the evening was still at the Wangfu Hotel, but it was moved to the private room upstairs.

Compared with the noon ceremony, the number of people at the dinner was reduced to four, obviously according to age, two tables for young people and two tables for fathers. Although the number of people is small, the people who attended the dinner were all friends from the Qiu family and had a good relationship, as well as friends with average relationships but needed to maintain the scene, such as Wu Caijiang and Mei Shengping, as well as Fu Yuanzhi.

Xia Xiang was still arranged at the same table with Mei Xiaolin, and Mei Navel Mu also stayed, unfortunately, next to him was Gu Yu. OK. The yellow-haired boy Fei Wang is gone. It seems that he is not qualified enough for the dinner.

Except for a few people, Xia Xiang didn't know a few other people. But one, the age is about the age of the year. The middle-aged man who always had a shallow smile on his face attracted Xia Xiang's attention, not only because he was the oldest one in the room, but also because the smile on his face was deliberately revealed, but it felt like a spring breeze, very comfortable and peaceful.

There is also a young man who is a little older than Xia Xiang, he sits still, does not squint, and looks okay, but there is a slight depression between his eyebrows. However, his cautious style attracted Xia Xiang's attention, and there was another point, Xia Xiang noticed that Mei Xiaolin looked at him a few more times, and couldn't help but wonder who he was.

Mei Xiaolin obviously knew the two people Xia wanted to pay attention to. But he didn't introduce it to him, but talked to Gu Yu through Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang is not very comfortable in the middle. He said, "If you don't change your position, it's convenient for you to communicate." ”

"No change". Gu Yu and Mei Xiaoqiu said in unison.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to shut up and pretend that he didn't say anything. After listening to the conversation between Mei Xiaolin and Gu Yu for a while, Xia Xiang realized that the two of them didn't know each other either, and it was the first time they met. Mei Xiaolin was interested in Gu Yu's jade pendant, and Gu Yu was curious about Mei Xiaolin's plump but not plump figure, and the two exchanged common topics about you asking me and I asking you.

Some women are hostile to each other as soon as they meet. Some women will fall in love at first sight because of a topic of interest, and they trust intuition more than men.

What is not the same as the general banquet is that no one at the table who sits together takes the initiative to introduce themselves, and no one automatically introduces themselves, although everyone sits together, they don't seem to be interested in knowing each other. Xia Xiang also knew that everyone here probably had a greater background than him, so he thought that it was better to have more than one thing and one thing less, so he sat down and didn't say a word.

However, he still noticed that the middle-aged man's gaze swept over him a few times, and the young man who was a little depressed also looked at him a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.

Not long after, Qiu Xufeng and his bride appeared in front of everyone. He first hugged his fists to thank everyone for coming, and then politely expressed that he did not take good care of everyone, and please understand, after the cold noise with everyone one by one, he put his arm around Xia Xiang's shoulders and said affectionately: "After the banquet is over, I will take you to see the night in the capital." ”

"Don't, there will be opportunities in the future, there is no need for Xia Xiang to laugh today, I can see it. Qiu Xufeng was a little drunk, "Today is your wedding day, and there is only one person you want to accompany, and that is the bride." ”

Qiu Xufeng laughed and solemnly introduced Xia Xiang to everyone: "Xia Xiang, when he was in Anxian County, he was a member of the Standing Committee and executive deputy county magistrate, with his assistance. I have achieved a little bit in Anxian County. Now he is the director of the Information Department of the General Office of the Yan Provincial Party Committee, not to mention his official position, no matter where he goes. They are all good friends of my Qiu Xufeng

Qiu Xufeng pointed at the middle-aged man with his hand and said, "Fu Xianxian, the incoming deputy secretary of the Yanshi Municipal Party Committee" and pointed to the depressed young man and said, "Wu Ruotian, an outstanding figure of the third generation of the Wu family, is currently the deputy director of the Third Comprehensive Division of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. ”

Then a few people were introduced in turn, and everyone nodded their heads one by one, which was regarded as nodding friends.

When Gu Yu and Mei Xiaolin were introduced, Gu Yu waved his hand lightly and said, "Xiaolin and I don't need to be introduced, we all know what we should know, and we don't need to know what we shouldn't know, we want to know." We'll know each other privately. ”

Qiu Xufeng was not reluctant, he turned around to go to another table to socialize, and before leaving, he specially told Xia Xiang: "Don't go anywhere, if you dare to go with Mei Xiaolin, or with the Wu family, I will not finish with you." ”

His tone was half-truthful, a bit of a drunken emboldenment. Xia Xiang smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I came to the capital just for your wedding, and I'm just your guest."

Whether it is going to the Wu family or the Mei family, it is not Xia Xiang's original intention, it is better to say it to death, this time it will only come to the Qiu family, so as not to be misunderstood by others and half-hearted.

As soon as Qiu Xufeng left, Gu Yu glanced at Xia Xiang with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite popular." Who invited you?

Mei Xiaolin said with a slight dissatisfaction: "You don't need to give Qiu Xufeng a reassuring pill early, right?" You're here to attend his wedding, but you're not part of the Qiu family either. The active Quan Ran said all the words to death. Forget it. My uncle invited you over for dinner, and you didn't appreciate it, so you didn't appreciate it, just to save money. ”

Mei Xiaomu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xia Xiang's attitude, and when the net was about to speak, Mei Xiaolin was angry in her heart, and said unceremoniously: "Shut up!" ”

Mei Xiaomu had no choice but to pout stupidly.

Fu Xianfeng glanced at Xia Xiang with interest, and finally couldn't help but say: "Director Xia, I am about to serve as the deputy secretary of Yan City, I heard that you have a good relationship with many leaders of Yan City, I don't know if you have any good suggestions for me?" ”

Fu Xianxian's attitude is lukewarm, there is a condescending scrutiny, the signature smile on his face is always the same, and it is rare for him to keep the smile so long-lasting.

"If I were still working in Ann County. It just so happened that Secretary Fu was my direct superior, and unfortunately, I was transferred to the provincial party committee and missed Secretary Fu. to pay the ability of the secretary. When you arrive in Yan City, Kento can be like a fish in water and carry out various tasks effortlessly. I wish Secretary Fu all the best. Make great contributions to the development of Yan City. Xia Xiang said seriously. also hugged his fist at Fu Xianfeng across the table, looking both casual and formal, anyway, it gave people the feeling that he had both respect and a sense of alienation for dealing with the vanguard.

Fu Xianxian's face remained unchanged, and he nodded: "Well said, come, I will give you a drink." ”

Xia Xiang hurriedly took the cup: "Don't dare, don't dare." It's better for me to pay homage to the secretary. ”

The two of them gestured in the air, then each drank a glass of wine, and the exchange was over.

Liu Yufu pioneer's temptation, Xia Xiang also knew it. Fu Xianfeng proposed that he had a good relationship with many leaders in Yan City, and he was afraid that he deliberately implied that he would take action after he arrived in Yan City. Xia Xiang also responded calmly, he was transferred to the provincial party committee, and it was true that Fu Xianxian's high level was high, but he was not his direct leader, and he basically couldn't control himself. And Xia Xiang also believed that the intricate relationships in Yan City were enough for Fu Xianfeng to deal with for a while.

Wait for Fu Xianfeng to gain a firm foothold and have time to deal with himself. He may not be able to do so. It's hard to say elsewhere, in Yan City, Xia Xiang is still confident that he has enough power to protect himself.

Unintentionally making a feud with the Fu family is not what Xia Xiang wants. But a person can't be popular everywhere, Xia Xiang is not afraid, and there is not a harmony between several major families, each has conflicting interests, each has its own interests entanglement, and there is a fulcrum that can be fully explored.

Without waiting for Xia Xiang to speak, Wu Ruotian first frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "Xia Xiang, your relationship with the Qiu family seems to be good, but I haven't heard your name much before. Recently, I have often heard the third uncle mention, "Strange things, do you have anything to do with our Wu family?" ”

"Strange thing, you have a relationship with the Qiu family, the Wu family, and the Mei family?" Gu Yu also learned a sentence strangely and asked.

As soon as Wu Ruotian's words came out, Xia Xiang knew that he didn't have any scheming, how could he ask others in person if he had anything to do with the Wu family? What's more, he himself is also a member of the Wu family, but he doesn't know it, and he still comes to ask himself, which shows that he has no city. Then Gu Yu deliberately pretended to learn a lesson, which also meant mockery and troublemaking.

Xia wanted to see that he was the face of the Wu family, and didn't want him to be too embarrassed, so he smiled: "There are some things that are better to say in private." I got together today to congratulate Qiu Xufeng on his newlywed, and other things, it's better to say less,"

"That's right, speaking of Xu Feng's wedding, Xia Xiang, do you know who the bride is?" Mei Xiaomu interjected.

Xia Xiang pretended not to know: "I only know that Fang's name is Fu Duoduo, and I don't know anything else."

"Fu Duoduo is Secretary Fu's cousin!" Mei Xiaomu smiled proudly, thinking that the strategy of sowing discord was very clever, and said, "You have a good relationship with Qiu Xufeng, but the relationship between Qiu Xufeng and Secretary Fu is also very good

Xia Xiang smiled: "It's good, it's still pro-Wei, of course the relationship is very close." It's the first time I've heard of it, and it seems that it's a bit of a lonely thing. ”

Mei Xiaomu's expression was a little more complacent.

Mei Xiaolin glanced at Xia Xiang and expressed her dissatisfaction with him for playing tricks on Mei Xiaomu. Fu Xianfeng still smiled and didn't speak, and drank tea in one sip, Gu Yu obviously didn't believe Xia Xiang's words, secretly glanced at Xia Xiang a few times, and pouted slightly to express disdain, only Wu Ruotian believed it was true, and actually asked: "Xia Xiang, you really don't know who Qiu Xufeng married?" ”

Xia Xiang sighed secretly, although now the Wu family and the Mei family are stronger than the Fu family, and they also have the upper hand. But as far as he is concerned, he has come into contact with Wu Ruotian and Mei Xiaomu so far, it is far less than Fu Xianxian's city government and scheming, whether it is in officialdom or shopping malls, the two of them together are not Fu Xianxian's opponents.

Could it be that one generation is not as good as the next? Gu Yu said again: "Are you wise and stupid or pretending to be stupid, do you think he will not know who Qiu Xufeng's bride is?" He and Qiu Xufeng have worked together for several years, and Qiu Xufeng is willing to invite him to the wedding. Keeping him at the dinner party certainly proves that their relationship is not ordinary. Will he not know? What a joke".

Wu Ruotian came to his senses and said with a little annoyance: "It turned out to be a trick, Xia Xiang." You're so dishonest. ”

Xia Xiang glanced at Mei Xiaomu and complained: "Look, the topic you provoked made me fall in the end." I'm supposed to be a good person, why am I dishonest? Is it that if you have a good relationship with a person, you have to care who he marries? Do you have to care about the power of the bride's family? I handed over Qiu Xufeng himself. It's not his network. ”

The meaning of Xia Xiang's words is complicated, and in Fu Xianxian's ears, Xia Xiang and Qiu Xufeng approached because of their similar tempers. But at the same time, Fu Xianfeng was secretly surprised. It is not easy to make Qiu Xufeng, a princeling, fundamentally appreciate Xia Xiang. Because he knew in his heart that Qiu Xufeng was also defensive against him.

But in Wu Ruotian's ears, Xia Xiang's explanation was quite reasonable, and he responded suspiciously just now, so he nodded slightly, indicating that he was full of sales but thought that although Xia Xiang was quite helpless, he was actually suspected of deliberately ingratiating, so he glanced at Xia Xiang with disdain and stopped talking.

Only Mei Xiaolin and Gu Yu whispered for a moment, and the two suddenly laughed together.

Xia Xiang was a little inexplicably laughed: "It is very impolite for two people to mumble and then laugh at others, and it is usually something that only girls in the middle school do." ”

Mei Xiaolin and Feng Yu glanced at each other and smiled even more happily.

Xia Xiang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and said to himself: "If you don't pay attention to laughing at people, you should laugh at yourself." ”

As a result, even Mei Xiaomu and Wu Ruotian laughed.

Fu Xianfeng didn't smile, he looked at Xia Xiang a few more times with complicated eyes, thinking that he was really interesting. Calmly maneuvering between Wu Ruotian and Mei Xiaomu, and making Mei Xiaolin and Gu Yu laugh, there is indeed a set of communication methods.

Compared with. Compared to Xia Xiang, he is a bit too orthodox. It's not flexible enough. But thinking about his age, Fu Xianfeng shook his head secretly, it is difficult for a little smart to become a big wisdom, Xia wants to be exquisite, but he is from the grassroots and has congenital deficiencies, even if he has a deep network, what can he do? As long as he comes forward, he can break his relationship network and let the forces that were originally biased towards him move closer to him.

As long as enough conditions are put in place, there are still people who don't believe that they won't be tempted.

Fu Xianfeng was full of expectations for the trip to Yan City, thinking that he would definitely be able to make some achievements. The dinner was first made by Fu Renyou with an enthusiastic speech, and Qiu Xufeng came out to express his gratitude to everyone for coming, and finally toasted according to the procedure, visiting the guests, in short, there is little difference from the ceremony above the wedding, the only difference is that there are few people at the dinner, and the people who attend the dinner are people who are worthy of friendship and respect in the minds of the Qiu family.

Due to the distance from the other two tables, and the screen in the middle, Xia Xiang couldn't see who the other VIPs were. But he knew that they were the real VIPs. Maybe there are some characters who have appeared on TV, and I can't help but have some yearning in my heart.

However, to Xia Xiang's disappointment, soon the other VIPs dispersed, and when the screen was removed, they were already empty.

Qiu Renli also greeted everyone and left the table, and in the end, Qiu Xufeng was left to accompany Xia Xiang and the others.

Qiu Xufeng sat with everyone for a while, pulled Xia Xiang to another table to introduce some friends of the Qiu family and he knew, they were all big and small heads of some ministries and commissions, basically at the level of director and deputy department, there were too many people, Xia Xiang couldn't remember everything for a while, but it was not easy to refuse Qiu Xufeng's enthusiasm, so he had to greet everyone patiently. I recognized it and came down. I don't remember who is who.

After a while, it was getting late, and everyone began to say goodbye and leave. When Mei Xiaolin and Mei Xiaomu told, they also asked Xia Xiang: "You stay?" I don't need to arrange accommodation.

Wu Ruotian just glanced at Xia Xiang lightly. Wei shook his head and left.

Instead, Fu Xianfeng patted Xia Xiang's shoulder and said, "Take care!" ”

In the end, only Xia Xiang and Gu Yu remained. Xia wanted to see Gu Yu standing at the door and looking around, so he asked, "Wait for someone to pick it up?" ”

Gu Yu nodded, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he asked in a low voice, "Did Mei Xiaolin have a relationship with Qiu Xufeng before?" ”

Xia Xiang was surprised, wouldn't Mei Xiaolin tell Gu Yu about her privacy so quickly? Gu Yu saw Xia Xiang's doubts and took the initiative to answer his question: "Don't think about it, I guess." I saw that her eyes were a little wrong when she looked at Qiu Xufeng, as if she was a little resentful, a little uneven, and a little inexplicable, so I felt that there should be some problems, hey, don't be stunned, answer my question quickly, okay?

Xia Xiang was stunned, Gu Yu is too powerful, his eyes are too poisonous, what kind of eyes, even other people's thoughts can be seen? He waved his hand: "I've never cared too much about other people's private affairs, Mei Xiaolin and I are just colleagues, and I won't ask her about her privacy." ”

"Pretending to be a good one, don't think I didn't see it. She doesn't look at you the right way."

"Someone is coming to pick you up". Xia Xiang quickly interrupted her and pointed to a car coming in the distance.

Gu Yu glanced at Xia Xiang dissatisfiedly: "If you don't want to say it, just say it, don't change the topic, it looks very hypocritical." ”

After saying that, Gu Yu no longer paid attention to Xia Xiang, jumped down the steps and ran to the car. As soon as the net stopped, she pulled the door open and sat in. A moment later, she opened the window again. Chong Xia wanted to beckon: "Xia Xiang, come over here."

Xia Xiang smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't know you well, and I don't have a common language, so it's better to stay away from you." ”

Gu Yu got angry: "If you want to come over, you will come." Why are there so many words? It's not me looking for you. ”

Xia Xiang still stood still, and Gu Yu suddenly smiled strangely: "Please come over for a while." All right? Someone in the car is looking for you. ”

Than: Wake up early and take a look, ah, I don't have a monthly pass today, bald? And my heart sank to the bottom. Brothers, I still have to do a good job. I desperately squeeze out the time to dedicate 10,000 words to everyone every day. is to get everyone's response, to make everyone happy, to make someone like and support, this slap is not a slap in the face. Nothing, too faceless, isn't it? How many monthly passes are good? Lao He only asks everyone to subscribe to the by-product monthly pass, never asks the brothers for a reward, that is, he only hopes that the brothers will subscribe to the official god normally, and then have the support of the monthly pass to be very grateful, as for the reward, it is an additional encouragement, it is a favor, do not ask, just ask everyone to do as you like and ability. But genuine subscriptions and monthly passes, please don't miss brothers, subscribe first, monthly pass second, reward third, none of the above, please vote for recommendation. Still thanks. ，！
