Chapter 797: An unexpected meeting

"Chen Li, I work in the Wanghai County Government." Chen Li glanced at Hu Naijun and stretched out his hand to him. Hu Naijun looked at Chen Li's palm and seemed to hesitate, but still stretched out his hand and shook Chen Li: "It turns out that Mr. Chen is still a cadre, if there is nothing to do, let's go over and play together for a while, right?" ”

"What, Chen Li, have you met an acquaintance?" Bao Feiyang saw Chen Li talking to a pair of strange men and women, got up and walked over and asked.

Chen Li hurriedly said: "Well, these two are from the provincial newspaper, they are Xu Lin's colleagues, this is Hu Naijun, and this is Wei Xiaoning." ”

"This is our ...... leader" Chen Li introduced to Xu Lin and Hu Naijun again, when mentioning Bao Feiyang's identity, he was a little hesitant, but Bao Feiyang interrupted in time: "Hehe, let's go out to play together, they are all colleagues, my name is Bao Feiyang, I am very happy to meet the two elites of the provincial newspaper." ”

The editors and reporters of the provincial newspaper usually come into contact with people at a relatively high level, and in front of the county magistrate and secretary of the county party committee in a remote place like Wanghai, Hu Naijun will not feel any difference, and naturally he will not take a look at Bao Feiyang and Chen Ligao, who work in the county government. Although Bao Feiyang looks a little generous, but looking at his age, I am afraid that he is a section-level and deputy section-level cadre of the county government, Hu Naijun is less than 30 years old this year, and he also has the title of director in the provincial newspaper, which is also a real department-level.

For Bao Feiyang, who was enthusiastically posted, in Hu Naijun's eyes, he was even inferior to Chen Li, Chen Li at least had a girlfriend who worked in the provincial newspaper, although Hu Naijun didn't know Chen Li's details. But to have someone from their province as a friend, even if this person has a low status, can add a lot of glory. As for this bag flying, it's almost useless.

Hu Naijun turned a blind eye to Bao Feiyang's outstretched palm, and even looked at Bao Feiyang's hand that had just touched Wei Xiaoning's hand with some disgust, and said with a cold expression: "Xiaoning, everyone is still waiting, let's go back quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" Wei Xiaoning nodded, and looked at Chen Li again: "If you want to go together, if you go, you can go together." If you don't go, we'll go first. ”

After all, it's a meeting in the water. Wei Xiaoning obviously didn't have any intention of having a deep friendship with Bao Feiyang, but just asked Chen Li.

"Chen Li, go ahead and have fun. Later, Xiao Xu and I will open a big room. Call if you come back to stay. If you don't come back, forget it. Bao Feiyang said to Chen Li with a smile.

Chen Li scratched his head a little shyly: "Leader, then I'll go first, if there is anything, you can torture me." ”

Wei Xiaoning also smiled and waved his hand to Bao Feiyang: "Hi." Leader, let's go first, and next time we have a chance to eat together! ”

Bao Feiyang smiled and waved his hand to Wei Xiaoning. This short-haired little girl gives people a very pure and straightforward feeling, and the Hu Naijun next to him has probably been in the system for a long time, so he seems a little arrogant and not easy to contact.

Bao Feiyang ordered some skewers, the weather was a little cold, otherwise it would be comfortable to sit on the side of the road while eating skewers and drinking beer. Xu Dongliang had to drive later, and he couldn't drink, and Bao Feiyang was not interested in drinking, so he ordered some skewers, two bowls of spicy soup, and a large bottle of Coke.

Xu Dongliang doesn't like to talk, but after getting acquainted with it, he is not the kind of stuffy gourd that can't be smashed with three hammers, and he will chat with Bao Feiyang for a few words.

"Master Xu, you're tired, it's not easy to drive for five or six hours in a row." Bao Feiyang said to Xu Dongliang with a smile.

Xu Dongliang smiled a little shyly: "Fortunately, I used to drive for more than ten hours in the army. ”

Bao Feiyang nodded, with a fascinated expression on his face: "The army is to train people." However, after the completion of the Guanhe Bridge and the completion of the reconstruction of the Linhai Highway, the road from Wanghai is easy to walk, I see that it will take less than three hours to reach Haizhou City at most, and Haizhou Port in two hours. ”

Xu Dongliang nodded: "It's convenient to have a bridge, and the high speed is very fast." ”

It seemed that he also felt that it was a little too simple to speak like this, Xu Dongliang glanced at Bao Feiyang, and said: "Wanghaitong Expressway, it's still far away, right?" ”

Bao Feiyang nodded, there are not a few expressways in Jiangbei Province at present, and Wanghai County is in a corner, when will it be able to open the expressway, this is something he can not predict. In my impression, the first expressway in Wanghai County is the coastal expressway, this expressway may not have been put on the agenda, as for Wanghai County to promote the construction of the expressway, there is no possibility for the time being, at least to wait for the nearby Haizhou or Jingcheng to have a high-speed.

"But it's not very far, I think there will be news in five years, and construction should start in ten years, and it's not slow." Bao Feiyang said.

Xu Dongliang nodded, now many Wanghai people probably don't even know what the highway is, if the construction can start within ten years, it is indeed not too late.

Chen Li, Wei Xiaoning, and Hu Naijun walked to the song and dance hall not far away, and when they arrived at the door, they remembered that the gift they had prepared for Xu Lin was still in the car, and they wanted to go back and get it.

Hu Naijun said impatiently: "What kind of gift is so solemn, it won't be a diamond ring, right?" ”

Chen Li has no money to buy a diamond ring, even if he buys a diamond ring, now is not the right time. He just saw that the weather was getting cold, so he went to the countryside of Chengang to find someone to make a pair of reed shoes, and planned to give them to Xu Lin so that she could wear them at home. Hearing Hu Naijun say this, Chen Li also felt that he couldn't hold this unique gift in front of others, so he shook his head and said, "Where, a little gift, let's give it next time!" ”

Wei Xiaoning noticed that Hu Naijun's tone was not quite right, and glared at him fiercely. She knows what Hu Naijun is thinking, Xu Lin is a big beauty in the provincial newspaper, and there is no shortage of suitors around her, this time the unit organized a trip, and there were so many irrelevant people, the drunkard did not mean to drink, and he also came. Among them, the eldest Liu Xu and Liu Gongzi are now by Xu Lin's side. Hu Naijun ran out to buy skewers, and he originally meant to be courteous to that person, but suddenly a Chen Li appeared, of course he had to help that one clear this obstacle.

Wei Xiaoning has always disliked those playboys who revolve around the newspaper, although the provincial newspaper is not as beautiful as the provincial Taiwan. But there are also many beautiful reporters and editors, and many good cars can often be seen at the door of the provincial newspaper, Wei Xiaoning has always been respectful of this kind of person, she just felt bored inside, so she came out to buy skewers. Xu Lin originally wanted to come out together, but Hu Naijun jumped out and blocked Xu Lin.

Wei Xiaoning didn't have a good impression of Hu Naijun, she pushed open the door of the box, and immediately shouted loudly: "Xu Lin, let's see who's coming." ”

It is a large luxury box. On the outside is the sofa and a place for singing. There is also a bar and drinking area next to it. Xu Lin sat on the outside of the sofa, and next to him sat a young and handsome man. Xu Lin heard the voice, looked up, and just saw Chen Li looking at her. couldn't help jumping up in surprise: "Chen Li." What are you doing here? ”

The man next to him was that Liu Xu and Liu Gongzi. His face couldn't help but sink slightly, and the smile that suddenly bloomed on Xu Lin's face was so beautiful that it was touching, but she hadn't smiled like this all night. Always polite, at most a slight smile, and a little restrained. Now he knows that Xu Lin is not restrained, let alone always cold, but she has someone in her heart who is cold to herself.

Knowing this, Liu Xu was not discouraged, of course excellent girls will not stay in the boudoir all the time, now is not the past, it is normal for Xu Lin to have a boyfriend, and it is strange to have no boyfriend. He wanted to see who could win Xu Lin's favor and whether he was really better than himself.

In terms of appearance, Liu Xu is confident that his handsomeness and handsomeness are no worse than those male stars who sell their faces; In terms of figure, he is also 1.75 meters, which is considered tall in this era, and he often plays basketball, and his body is also very strong; In terms of knowledge, he studied in the United States and studied in a prestigious school in China; In terms of family background, his father is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Electric Power Company, and his uncle is the director of the Provincial Department of Transportation. At least in this place in Jiangbei Province, there are only a few people in the circle who can compete with him, as long as they don't break the rules and come to grab food, he really doesn't believe that anyone can compete with him.

Liu Xu raised his head and saw Chen Li coming over, he couldn't help but be more sure of this, he could see that the clothes on Chen Li's body were not famous brands, looking at his appearance, he was still a little restrained on this occasion, he didn't think he had seen anything in the world, and he didn't know how Xu Lin would know such a "friend".

Liu Xu took the initiative to take a step forward, blocking Xu Lin who was standing up, and he stretched out his hand to Chen Li: "Are you Xu Lin's friend?" My name is Liu Xu and I work for the Provincial Petroleum Company. ”

Facing Liu Xu's deliberate expression, Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he quickly thought of some of the words that Bao Feiyang had said to him, and thought that although Liu Xu was handsome and arrogant, he was far inferior to the county magistrate Bao, he was with the county magistrate Bao every day, so what was he nervous about now?

Thinking like this, Chen Li became calm, he stretched out his hand and shook Liu Xu's hand, and looked at the other party carefully. I have to say that Liu Xu's external conditions are very good, tall, handsome, and temperamental, standing in front of such a person, it is easy for people to lose self-confidence, and Liu Xu also said that he works in the provincial oil company, which is a large state-owned enterprise at the department and bureau level.

"Hello, Mr. Liu." Chen Li said hello to the other party without humility or arrogance, in his opinion, Liu Xu was still far from being able to compare with Bao Feiyang.

Liu Xu was slightly stunned, this Chen Li seemed to be a little not simple, and he calmed down in a short time, whether he was pretending to be or not, this hand was indeed very beautiful, at least he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot. However, Liu Xu obviously wouldn't just let Chen Li go, he withdrew his palm and said to Chen Li with a smile: "Linlin called you Chen Li just now?" Chen Li: Where do you work? ”

Hearing Liu Xu call Xu Lin "Linlin", Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, he frowned, and turned his head to look at Xu Lin.

Chen Li could feel Liu Xu's hostility, he didn't know Liu Xu, and the only intersection could only be on Xu Lin's body.

Seeing Liu Xu inserted in front of him and directly confronted Chen Li, Xu Lin couldn't help but feel anxious. She and Chen Li began to fall in love when they were in college, Xu Lin was one term later than Chen Li, although their affairs were opposed by the family, but Xu Lin never wanted to give up, even if sometimes Chen Li had given up, she had always encouraged Chen Li to cheer up and persevere.

However, Xu Lin has always hoped that Chen Li can go to work in Fenghu, the provincial capital, so that they can end the dilemma of separating the two places, and others will not always say that her boyfriend is a countryman, Xu Lin can not care about what others say, but it has made their affairs more obstacle out of thin air, especially since her parents often use this as a reason to oppose her and Chen Li together.

Originally, Chen Li was just a little discouraged. But he also promised that if he could find a suitable job in the provincial capital, he would come to the provincial capital, but recently, Chen Li proposed that he hoped to stay in Wanghai to work for a period of time, and then find an opportunity to go to the provincial capital in the future. Xu Lin couldn't help but start to suspect that Chen Li's feelings for her had changed, and even had other women in Wanghai, so she had trouble with Chen Li several times, and later the unit organized this outing, she immediately signed up for it, and called Chen Li to meet him, but she didn't expect Liu Xu to intervene. Obviously a person from the provincial oil company. But he participated in these outings at his own expense, and he was very close to her along the way, and his intentions were obvious.

Like Liu Xu, who specializes in picking up girls with him, there are several in the team. Xu Lin couldn't say anything. What's more, Liu Xu's uncle is Liu Daoqin, director of the Department of Transportation. And Xu Lin's father served as the deputy director of the office of the Department of Transportation. Xu Lin just didn't want to see Liu Xu anymore, and he couldn't help but give Liu Daoqin face.

So along the way, Xu Lin could only talk to Liu Xuxu and the snake, hoping to meet Chen Li as soon as possible. Let her come out from under Liu Xu's shadow.

What she didn't expect was that Chen Li appeared so quickly, and he was targeted by Liu Xu as soon as he appeared. Xu Lin couldn't help but start worrying about Chen Li again, for fear that he would suffer in front of Liu Xu.

"Liu Gongzi, it's better for you to call me Xu Lin." Xu Lin crossed Liu Xu and reached out to hold Chen Li's arm: "You ask Chen Li where he works, he works in the Wanghai County Government Office next to Haizhou and works as a secretary for a county magistrate." ”

Liu Xu's eyes flashed, and he swept over Xu Lin's arm holding Chen Li, and couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but soon laughed again: "Oh, what is it, oh, yes, it's from Wanghai County, I don't know which county magistrate it is, it should be the deputy county magistrate, right?" I might even know each other! ”

Generally speaking, the secretary of the leader is the least to be taken lightly, because they can represent the leader he serves in some way. But a small deputy county magistrate obviously does not make Liu Xu feel awe, even if it is face-to-face, Liu Xu will not take the other party in his eyes, let alone a deputy county magistrate's secretary?

Chen Li felt Liu Xu's contempt, but Xu Lin came up and grabbed his arm, undoubtedly declaring their relationship, which made Chen Li's mood very tired, and he also knew that Xu Lin had never lacked suitors around him, if he couldn't face it correctly, he and Xu Lin would have broken up a long time ago.

"Hehe, it's the deputy county magistrate, his surname is Bao, his name is Bao Feiyang, maybe you really know him, he may not be the youngest deputy county magistrate in the province, but he should be the youngest member of the county party committee in the province." At the mention of Bao Feiyang, Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little more confident, and even his tone of voice was full of pride.

After years of tempering, he still has some understanding of officialdom, knowing that there is a kind of secretary party in officialdom, and some secretaries follow the right people. Chen Li is very confident in Bao Feiyang, feeling that such an official will not talk about the central government in the future, at least he will go to the province, he doesn't dare to think much about himself, but at least in the face of Xu Lin and her father, he still has some confidence.

"Hehe, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, the official is not small!" Liu Xu said with some sarcasm that Liu Xu had not returned to China for a long time, so he still didn't know how young the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee in the province was. Bao Feiyang was originally relatively low-key, and most of the people who came out to play in the provincial newspaper this time were young people, mainly young reporters from the social and entertainment editions, and the few people who heard Chen Li speak, except for Wei Xiaoning, all wanted to have a good relationship with Liu Xu, and no one had heard of or realized the origin of this youngest member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee.

Although Hu Naijun met with Bao Feiyang, he didn't realize that Bao Feiyang was the member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and deputy county magistrate that Chen Li said.

Hu Naijun said with a smile: "I said Chen, Chen Li, don't always lead the leader, no matter how powerful the Standing Committee of the county party committee is, it is a deputy department level, and we have several deputy department levels here." Mr. Liu should already be at the department level, right? This deputy division level is really not a leader in our place. ”

Liu Xu works as the deputy department manager of the Jiangbei Provincial Petroleum Corporation, but he has a relatively high education and has studied abroad, so he does enjoy the treatment of the department. He smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just a small department manager, it's not worth mentioning, you reporters, known as the uncrowned king abroad, are much more powerful than us." ”

Liu Xu can be said to be free in the face of such an occasion, and a sentence made several reporters and editors of the provincial newspaper next to him laugh. even decided to help Liu Xu and kicked Chen Li out of Xu Lin's side.

Originally, Xu Lin pulled Chen Li and wanted to hide in the rest area next to him to talk for a while, but he didn't expect Hu Naijun and a few colleagues to follow, and took the opportunity of sharing the skewers to bring a large box of beer over, making a fuss about drinking.

Hu Naijun even said to Chen Li: "It is said that the people in your officialdom are particularly able to drink, which is called an alcohol test, Chen Li, you are a secretary to the leader, you must be very able to drink." Those of us who do writing don't drink much. But today everyone can get to know each other, that is also fate, and it must be accompanied, like this. I salute you first. Nor do you use cups. Just drink it from a bottle. ”

Hu Naijun and the others brought the kind of beer in small bottles, about 330 milliliters each, which are usually blown. It can't be said that Hu Naijun deliberately made things difficult. However, Xu Lin knew that Chen Li usually didn't drink much, and the amount of alcohol was not too good, so he hurriedly glared at Hu Naijun: "Hu Bian, you all bully Chen Li, right, we can't do this!" ”

Hu Naijun opened two bottles of beer and pushed one of them in front of Chen Li: "Xu Lin, can you say that, you are a flower of our newspaper, if Chen Li has thoughts about you, then he has to go through our alcohol test, and if the test is not good, we can't accept it." ”

Xu Lin opened his mouth, thinking that tomorrow he would let Chen Li go to the scenic spot with them, even if it was at their own expense, they had to get the consent of the group, Hu Naijun was a deputy team leader, if he was not happy, this plan might have to come to naught. When the words came to his mouth, he changed his words and said: "Then, then let Chen Li accompany Hu to drink a little for you, but Chen Li can't drink, but he can't drink too much." ”

Xu Lin gave Chen Li a look, Chen Li had just arrived, and it was not easy to refuse, so he picked up the beer and touched Hu Naijun: "Hu Bian is too polite, let's drink slowly, I still have to ask Hu Bian some questions!" ”

Xu Lin looked at Chen Li with some surprise, she found that Chen Li could talk more than before, and his personality was much better. If this kind of thing had been left in the past, Chen Li would have seen that Hu Naijun was hostile to him, and he would definitely not continue to ignore him, but now he could still talk with a smile, although his expression was still a little cold, but it also showed that he was more mature than before, perhaps as he said, since he followed the leader, he has been improving every day.

Wei Xiaoning originally wanted to follow Xu Lin and them, but was stopped by Liu Xu, Liu Xu glanced at Hu Naijun and the others, knowing what they wanted to do, he didn't stop it, and he didn't mean to go over to join in the fun, he pulled down Wei Xiaoning, smiled and asked: "Xiaoning, I know what is the origin of this Chen Li, how long has he been talking to Xu Lin?" ”

Wei Xiaoning looked at Liu Xu and said with a smile: "Master Liu, what you say sounds a bit **, what do you mean I understand?" Just listening to this, I thought you were going to confess to me! But this latter sentence is inevitably too hurtful, it turns out that you are pretending to be someone else in your heart! ”

"You Wei Xiaoning is a thorny rose, I don't dare to touch it." Liu Xu snorted and smiled: "How about it, just do me a favor, count me as owing you a personal favor?" ”

Wei Xiaoning looked at Xu Lin and Chen Li not far away, and puffed out his cheeks with some hesitation: "It's not that I don't want to help you, I don't know much about Chen Li's situation, I only know that he and Xu Lin were classmates in college, and they talked about it when they were in college, Xu Lin is one year younger than Chen Li." ”

"That's all?" Liu Xu looked at Wei Xiaoning: "What, don't you want to say?" Want to help Xu Lin keep it secret? Okay, if you don't say it, then I'll ask, in fact, if you don't say it, I can also guess some answers, for example, Xu Lin and this Chen Li's matter, Xu Lin's parents should disagree, right? ”

Wei Xiaoning looked at Liu Xu and refused to be fooled: "Don't you know, then why are you asking me what to do?" ”

Liu Xu smiled gracefully: "I don't know, I guessed." However, it is also easy to guess, Xu Lin's father is also the deputy director of the office of the Department of Communications, this official is not big, but if he is willing to help, it is still easy for Chen Li, a college student of Jiangbei University, to find a job in the provincial capital, after all, Jiangbei University is still somewhat famous in the province. ”

"It's a bit famous, but you can't compare with Master Liu." Wei Xiaoning smiled, still refusing to reveal his tone.

Liu Xu smiled and continued: "Since Chen Li is not staying in the provincial capital now, but has gone to a remote and small place like Wanghai to work as a secretary. Either Xu Lin didn't tell her family - Xu Lin definitely didn't want to be separated from her boyfriend so far, and the reason why she didn't say it could only be that her family didn't agree; Either she said it, but the family objected, and her father naturally wouldn't help Chen Li arrange a job.
