The three of them went downstairs, got into the Mercedes-Benz car left by the Beijing Office, and Chen Mingyuan drove Fan Jiang home, and then followed Ning Qiqi's guidance to the hotel where the party was gathered.

After the heavy snowfall, the road conditions are not very good, the car is crowded in the crowded traffic, from time to time to slow down, brake, looking at the car window without the end of the traffic, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "I was mentally prepared before I came, but when I really got on the road, I could experience the taste of the world's largest traffic jam, the capital, the first traffic jam is almost the same." ”

Ning Qiqi was amused by the new word 'first block', and said: "Don't say it, this description is quite appropriate, you have to block it from time to time on weekdays, and if you don't block it for a few hours, you are sorry for the title of the capital." ”

She pointed to the car outside the window and said, "Oh, have you seen it, most of the cars are from other places, just like when they entered Beijing to take the exam in ancient times." ”

Chen Mingyuan nodded, it is true, especially the traditional festivals of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year, it has long become a tradition for foreign cars to enter Yanjing from all directions.

In fact, not only Yanjing, even in a provincial capital city like Qiantang, every holiday, there are often local officials who come to meet the leaders, under the guise of festivals to deepen emotional exchanges, as for the following prefecture-level cities, and even county seats, such officialdom culture is commonplace, the only difference is that the leadership level of the visit is different.

"Let's talk about my family, it's okay in the past two years, there are fewer guests to receive, a few years ago when my dad was still working in the ministry, every time I came to these festivals, the threshold of my house was about to be stepped on, so I had to run outside to hide quietly, as soon as I got home, those gift boxes were almost filled with the living room, and it was difficult to find a place to stay."

Ning Qiqi covered her mouth and smiled: "Every time, my mother has been disturbed for many days and has to worry about disposing of those so-called local specialties. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled slightly, with Ning Lizhong's temperament, he naturally disdains to accept these favors, but unfortunately in this circle of fame and fortune, being too upright often only backfires, causing the jealousy of others, thinking that you are not easy to get close to, whether it is work or career development in the future, estrangement and estrangement from other people will bring a lot of hidden dangers and troubles.

Therefore, in an acceptable category, accepting some small favors and small gifts has become a tacit rule of Chinese officialdom.

Suddenly, Ning Qiqi frowned lightly and muttered, "However, there are fewer people who come to my house at the end of this year......"

Chen Mingyuan didn't squeak, and he had already predicted this, when the situation is still unclear, it is still uncertain whether Ning Lizhong can enter the game smoothly, and most people will naturally not stand in line easily.

Probably, it won't be until the end of the year that everything is settled.

Ning Qiqi and friends gathered in a stone alley near Houhai, called Hexiao Mansion, Chen Mingyuan has heard of it, it is said that it was once the residence of a prince in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, mainly Manchurian stew, the grade is not high-end in Yanjing, basically as long as the wallet is enough hòu can enter the house, but look at the luxury cars parked outside the courtyard, you know that most of the guests who come here are not rich or expensive.

Chen Mingyuan sent people to him, and he wanted to find another place to solve dinner, but Ning Qiqi pulled him to get out of the car together, "Don't mind, since you are here, you can eat together, why bother to run that wrong road, at this point, those restaurants are almost full, and you can't find a place alone." ”

Chen Mingyuan excused himself: "I don't know, I won't spoil the fun, just find a small restaurant and go down." ”

"Aren't you making it difficult for me, I promised my dad that I would entertain you well, and my friends are all good, one more pair of chopsticks, it's not a big deal."

Ning Qiqi pouted unhappily, simply resorted to a killer move, leaned into the car seat, and said, "Since you don't go, then I won't get out of the car, anyway, where you go to eat, I'll follow you to eat, or we both go home." ”

Chen Mingyuan laughed and laughed, this kind of stubborn character who does not stop until he reaches his goal is in the same vein as Ning Lizhong, after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, I'll go and sit for a while, but remember not to say that I am your father's secretary." ”

This is for Ning Qiqi's sake, she came out to have a meal with her friends, and led her father's secretary, people who don't know how to do it heard it, and thought that she was sent by Ning Lizhong to spy on Ning Qiqi, and it was nothing if she was criticized, mainly Ning Qiqi's face would be unbearable.

You must know that the children of these high-ranking cadres under the roots of the imperial city pay the most attention to face!

Ning Qiqi naturally understood his kindness, happily agreed, and then pulled him into the mansion together

In front of the big red door of the copper nails, when Ning Qiqi reported her name, the foreman in the horse coat led the two of them to walk inside, through seven or eight doors, and then came to a quiet wing room, in the room in the yellow silk curtains, bead curtains and tassels, decorated naturally and generously, all the furniture was retro, and a royal and noble atmosphere came to the face.

Chen Mingyuan saw these little details, although the Manchu Dynasty had long since ended, the aristocratic culture was inherited intact, and was regarded as a symbol of glory by the elite class of the Huaxia Kingdom.

In the wing room, in front of the landscape screen, there was a round table for dining, and two young people were sitting at the table.

"This is a friend of mine from Dongjiang Province, named Chen Mingyuan, who didn't go anywhere at night, so I came with a piece

Ning Qiqi introduced the people in turn.

The tall and thin man wearing gold-wire glasses is called Wang Xiuquan, his father is the executive deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the other is called Hou Zhiqing, who is wearing a black suit, and his father is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security.

These two high-ranking cadres didn't have much of a fight, they all smiled and shook hands with Chen Mingyuan, although they still had some of the reserve of the prince of the imperial city, but their attitude was quite friendly, which gave Ning Qiqi enough face.

The children of high-ranking cadres do not mean that they are all the children of bullying men and women, especially the parents of the two can mix to the middle and upper echelons of the republic, and their family education is definitely much stronger than that of the children of the official eunuchs in the market, at least they will not be idle to pick quarrels and provoke trouble for no reason at an ordinary gathering of friends, if they are really stupid and unscrupulous, it will only make everyone unhappy, and they will humiliate their own bodies.

Moreover, they all know Ning Qiqi's family background, seeing that Chen Mingyuan can be friends with the daughter of a feudal official, and he is a master with some background and background, so it doesn't hurt to make friends.

Immediately, Ning Qiqi apologized again: "On a snowy day, the road is too congested, so you can bear more." ”

"It's okay, it's not going to be open yet." Hou Zhi smiled heartily, and his speech and demeanor seemed more atmospheric and bold.

Ning Qiqi said curiously: "Then again, why is it just the two of you, what about the others?" ”

"It's all going to the other side to have fun." Wang Xiuquan pointed to the opposite side room, and said with a wry smile: "There is a master of gods today, I heard that there is a great supernatural power, not only can divination, but also fortune-telling, look at the physiognomy, and determine the fortune of people. ”

He glanced at Chen Mingyuan more and said, "By the way, I heard that the Taoist priest is also from Dongjiang Province, and it seems that his name is He Tianshi." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled, and there was no need to guess that the Eight Achievements of the Divine Master were the He Heavenly Master of the Jade Immortal View of Jade Dragon Mountain

I thought that at the beginning, I and Cen Ruohan would not see each other in person, but I didn't expect to meet in this small courtyard when I came to Yanjing this time, and depending on the situation, the god stick is getting more and more high-end, and they are all regarded as guests by the magnates of the capital

Ning Qiqi saw that he was laughing, so she asked, "Do you know?" ”

Chen Mingyuan shook his head: "I don't know, but I've heard of it, and it's quite famous in the provincial capital." ”

Although he has never seen He Tianshi's real person, but that time Kang Maohui and Zhang Jiyong fell off the horse, he had already noticed that there was this magic stick in it, combined with Mu Jiayin's words, presumably He Tianshi was instructed by Mu Jiayin, so he pulled Kang Mao Jianhui and Zhang Jiyong into embarrassment, and then revealed a big flaw, giving himself a good opportunity to uproot these two people.

Ning Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she said with great interest: "That's really a coincidence, I didn't meet it last time I went to Qiantang, and I can still see it here, let's go, take a look." ”

Wang Xiuquan and Hou Zhiqing glanced at each other, and said disapprerovitly: "What's the point of seeing this, in my opinion, it's nothing more than a magic stick pretending to be a ghost, and the person who invited that magic stick is Wen Jinhua, that kid is not right, purely because he is getting close to Jia Kui's family, and I heard that the old man of the Jia family believes in Taoism, so he invited that magic stick from Qiantang to do favors." ”

Chen Mingyuan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that it was Wen Jinhua who invited people to Yanjing, and listening to the meaning of Wang Xiuquan's words, He Tianshi was probably Wen Jinhua's stepping stone to enter the capital's elite circle, and he wanted to take the opportunity to tie up with the Jia family.

I had heard Lu Weiting say before that Wen Jinhua is now thriving in Yanjing's circle, although his business in Qiantang has suffered a great setback, but relying on the help of Jia Kui and other sons, he has gained a lot of benefits from other fields.

"Wen Jinhua, you should have also heard of it, as far as Wen Haichen, the secretary of the Qiantang Municipal Party Committee, is the son of Wen Haichen, and your father is working together, I heard that the relationship between the two is not very good, and you are bored when you meet in the past."

Hou Zhiqing didn't seem to be very interested in Wen Jinhua, and pouted: "That kid is really interesting, after coming to Yanjing last year, he sharpened his head all day long and wanted to make it up to our circle, and Jia Kui was a pig's brain, and he was touted a few times, so he regarded that guy as a buddy, and now he dared to send the magic stick invited by this person to his grandfather, it was purely a ghost obsession." ”

Ning Qiqi had also heard that Wen Haichen had a discordant relationship with his father, and at this moment he heard that Wen Jinhua had invited a magic stick to fool people, but his interest became even stronger, he twisted his waist, and said excitedly: "Then I have to go and see him, if it is really a magic stick, we will demolish it for him on the spot, and see how he will mix in Yanjing in the future!" ”
