After making a report to Governor Xie, Lu Zheng accompanied Zhou Shantang to entertain several Yu from the State Development Planning Commission in a private box at the Jidong Hotel in the evening, accompanied by several comrades from the Jidong Beijing Office.

The protagonist of the other party is the director of the General Division of the Key Engineering Bureau (Key Construction Department) of the Planning Commission, surnamed Ye, in fact, he can come to this dinner, which in itself shows that some relationships have gone through, and Director Ye is not very polite, but there is a kind of reserve in the bones of Beijing officials.

Of course, Zhou Shantang befriended the Ministry like Director Ye, in addition to hoping to use him to open up the circle of contacts, the most important thing is to hope that Director Ye can help talk when submitting various materials to the Reconstruction Division, and not to deliberately make things difficult with a cold face when reviewing the materials by the head of the Reconstruction Division. If you want to say whether this project can be approved, it is not something that Director Ye can influence.

Moreover, the water of the ministry is very deep, and a small director does not know what background is behind it, so there is no harm in maintaining more

While drinking, Lu Zheng suddenly remembered something and asked Director Ye: "Director Ye, the director of your reconstruction bureau is surnamed Tian, and his name is Tian Weidong, right?" Director Ye said yes, and Lu Zheng didn't say anything more.

After the banquet, after sending Director Ye and others away, Lu Zheng, Zhou Shantang, and Ding Laixi entered the room opened by Ding Laixi on the sixth floor, Zhou Shantang proposed to call someone to play bridge, Ding Laixi smiled and said: "Cheng, I called Xiao Liu to come over, she is a good bridge player." As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed.

A few minutes after Ding Laixi called, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a beautiful young woman came in, wearing a crimson skirt and black stockings, sexy and seductive, it was the deputy manager of the Jidong Hotel, called Liu Huili, who had just hosted a banquet for the guests of the State Planning Commission, and she went in to toast a few times, which was very invigorating.

When she heard that she was playing bridge, she smiled coquettishly and said: "Several leaders can afford me, and I will definitely sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." ”

When playing cards, Lu Zheng was not in his mind, and made a few mistakes in the cards, Ding Lai smiled and said: "Director Lu, if this continues, I will propose to play mahjong." ”

Liu Huili flashed her big eyes and glanced at Lu Zheng a few times, she didn't squeak, I don't know why, and Lao Zhou and Lao Ding, she has always laughed like beads, and she is easy to show off her own style, but in front of this Director Lu, she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, maybe because there are too many legends about this Director Lu outside, and it has already spread to the Beijing Office and Jidong Hotel, I heard that this Director Lu has been in Jidong for less than a year, and he has the bloody title of officialdom executioner, and it is better to stay away from such a person.

Lu Zheng smiled at Ding Lai and said, "Don't fight, I just thought of something, Director Tian of the Reconstruction Bureau, I have had a few encounters, maybe I can look for him, but ah, it's all inaccurate." ”

Zhou Shantang was excited when he heard this, for example, the Reconstruction Bureau, a department with extremely heavy authority in the Planning Commission, has very great power, and if it is an ordinary large-scale project, it can directly make a decision; although Director Tian cannot be the master of the project declared by Jidong, if he is willing to contribute and speak well in front of the leaders in charge, the obstacle will naturally be much smaller.

Zhou Shantang said in a loud voice: "Director Lu, we can't do without this relationship, so, you see, can you ask Director Tian to come out for a meal, it's best, you can stay for a few more days and help us pull the strings." ”

Lu Zheng nodded: "I'll report to Governor Xie for instructions." ”

Zhou Shantang threw the cards in his hand and pulled Lu Zheng: "Go now, I'll accompany you." ”

Ding Lai smiled and said: "Lao Zhou, you, I see that you have been suffocated in Beijing these days, and you can't hold your breath at all." ”

Liu Huili also giggled.

Listening to Lu Zheng's report, Governor Xie naturally had no objections, and even told Lu Zheng to stay for a few more days and help the province run the project.

Early the next morning, Lu Zheng first went to the courtyard in Jingwa Hutong to see his grandfather, and after having lunch with his grandfather, he paged the eldest sister Lu Jiaju, and soon the eldest sister called back, saying that she was in the Pearl Women's Club

Lu Zheng couldn't help but be helpless, I had heard that the eldest sister was now keen on club life and was already one of the most famous ladies in the capital.

Pearl Women's Club is on the top floor of the Pearl Hotel, beauty salon, indoor swimming pool, indoor tennis hall, squash hall, gym and so on are the top services, now has hundreds of members, all of whom are celebrities in Beijing, the entrance fee will be more than 100,000 yuan, and a lot of annual fees will be paid every year. The Pearl Club officially opened at the beginning of this year, which is the first women's high-end club in China, and can even be said to be the earliest high-end private club in Beijing.

After the opening of the club, such as the platinum card of Governor Xu's lover Aunt Liu, Lu Zheng has already replaced it with the membership card of the Pearl Club.

Coming out of Jingwa Hutong, Lu Zheng took a taxi straight to the Pearl Hotel, took the VIp elevator to the top floor, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he was the most luxurious hall, like a crystal house, that is, the walls were transparent blue crystals, beautiful, like entering a bright fairy tale shijie.

The reception desk waiter was surprised to see a man alone, the membership cards here are held by women, and the VIP card can only take the VIP elevator, and I have seen men come up in the past, but they are all sent to the lady and turn around, but I have never seen a man come in by the elevator alone.

A waiter hurriedly stopped Lu Zheng, thinking that Lu Zheng was a member of a member's family, and took his membership card, so that the waiter was polite, and asked Lu Zheng to sit in the lounge next to him for a while and drink a free drink, but he couldn't go inside.

Lu Zheng reported the name of the eldest sister and entered the lounge, which was originally prepared for the families of female members, and there were ashtrays on the coffee table, but there was no smell of smoke in the room, except for the waiter who was more diligent in ventilation and cleaning, and few people were embarrassed to smoke here.

Lu Zheng juice didn't drink a few sips, the eldest sister Lu Jiaju walked in with a smile, now she is more and more graceful and luxurious, the crystal necklace around her neck is worth a lot of money at a glance, full of up and down, it doesn't look gorgeous, it doesn't look like it used to be an exaggerated brand-name luxury, but if you taste it carefully, it is a low-key luxury.

"Can you still remember your eldest sister?" Lu Jiaju suddenly made a pretty face.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Sister, what you said, when I can't forget you, I'm talking about it every day......

"Yes, I talk about it every day, but I don't have time, I don't have time to make a phone call" Lu Jiaju pouted, and said: "Less hippie smile, you, you definitely won't look for me if you're fine, just say, what's the matter?" It's not for your second sister again, right? ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "No, so let's go down and talk and find a quiet place to talk." ”

"Don't go" Lu Jiaju was petty in her mouth, but she followed Lu Zheng to stand up.

The two had just walked out of the lounge, but they saw a blonde and blue-eyed super beautiful woman walking over from the elevator, snow-white uniform trousers, crystal high heels with a wonderful arc, jade feet painted with light cyan nail polish and slender bones, different charming, and the snow-white suit made her sexy and indescribable, extremely attractive.

Lu Jiaju stabbed Lu Zheng's arm, lowered her voice and said: "She is the princess of the Pearl Group, I heard that her father is the richest invisible rich man in the West, and the Pearl Group is just one of their family businesses, how about it, rich enough, right?" People are also beautiful, sexier than Monroe. ”

Lu Zheng was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, where is this, it is really three people who become tigers.

At this time, the blonde sexy beauty had already walked over to Lu Zheng with some surprise and said, "Mike, hello." Seeing that there was someone next to Lu Zheng, he barely pretended to be an ordinary friend, as for the name Mike, it was Lu Zheng's pseudonym in the company.

Lu Zheng and Caroline are in constant contact, and they also called her when there was an accident in the ancient city of Guobang last month, Caroline came to Beijing a few days ago, Lu Zheng knew, but he really couldn't spare time to come over, but he didn't expect that Caroline hadn't left yet.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Well, come over for something, this is my sister, you can also call it sister." He said to Lu Jiaju again: "This is my very good friend, named Caroline." ”

Caroline stretched out her slender jade hand to shake hands with Lu Jiaju, and shouted generously in Chinese: "Sister." ”

Lu Jiaju was stunned, she never thought that this sexy and dazzling Western girl could also have a relationship with her younger brother, and then listen to the meaning of her brother's words, it was clear that this relationship was not simple, so she could only smile bitterly in her heart, but now that her younger brother is older, the official is getting bigger and bigger, and now she can't complain to her family, it seems that she has to help him hide it.

"Are you going back?" Caroline stared at Lu Zheng with deep blue eyes, and she was really reluctant to part with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Go down and find a place to talk about something." ”

Caroline sighed and said, "Then I'll go down and help you open a room." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, Caroline was immediately overjoyed, quickly led the way in front, pressed the elevator, and when the elevator door opened, she protected it with her hands, asking Lu Zheng and Lu Jiaju to go first, as if she was a waiter.

Lu Jiaju was speechless for a while, glanced at her brother, and said in her heart that her brother's peach blossom luck is really envied by others, besides, it looks like a white girl of Miss Caroline's quality, what is the picture? Why? To be so flattering to your brother.

The elevator stopped two floors down, Caroline was like entering the elevator again, guarding the elevator door and asking Lu Zheng and Lu Jiaju to go first, Lu Zheng helplessly stretched out his arm to protect the other side, and said: "Lady first, if you do this again, my sister will scold me for not being a gentleman." ”

Caroline blinked her deep blue eyes and said, "I'm glad you brought me here." ”

Lu Zheng knew that she was smart, and when she heard her and her eldest sister, she knew that her relationship with her didn't have to be hidden in front of her eldest sister, but when she was so direct, she couldn't help coughing, and her old face was slightly hot, after all, the eldest sister is sometimes like a loving mother, and she is a family person, and it is a little unnatural to be in front of the eldest sister and her lover.

"Hurry up, someone else has seen the joke." Lu Zheng winked at Caroline.

Urged by Lu Zheng, Caroline got off the elevator, went to the floor duty manager's room, asked for a room card, and led Lu Zheng and Lu Jiaju to the front of room No. 1 to swipe the card to open the door.

Caroline handed the card to Lu Zheng and said, "Let's talk, I'll go upstairs to play squash ball." ”

Lu Jiaju was speechless, the sister and brother just talked about something, so they opened a presidential set, her brother's girlfriend is not an ordinary style, the most incredible thing is that she is obedient to her brother, and she is not obedient.

Seeing her brother gesture to Miss Caroline and saying, "Let's go in and listen together, it's not a private matter", Caroline looked happy, and Lu Jiaju felt even more helpless, and said Miss Caroline, is my brother so good?

Once inside, the waiter brought fresh fruit and a large cigar, presumably ordered by Caroline. Caroline picked up the cigar and carefully trimmed it with scissors.

Lu Zheng saw the eldest sister's expression at the moment, and he was even more embarrassed, obviously the eldest sister meant to say, I don't have an eye to see if it goes on like this

"Sister, you can help me find Sister Xiaofan, I don't have her number." Lu Zheng hurriedly got down to business.

The smile on Lu Jiaju's face disappeared, and she said, "Which little fan sister are you?" I don't remember that you have a little Fan. The tone was slightly cold.

Lu Zheng said helplessly: "Pei Xiaofan, Grandpa Pei's granddaughter, you two used to be the best, you said that she always ran behind your ass when she was a child." ”

Lu Jiaju snorted and said, "Is there such a person?" I don't remember. ”

Lu Zheng couldn't help scratching his head, very helpless.

Pei Xiaofan is the granddaughter of Pei Lao, Pei Lao is one of the ten elders in the party, and he is the most distinctive red conservative. A box is hidden deep and does not reveal the edge, and it is rare for a bosom friend to fall into the world. The empty mountain was frightened overnight, and he jumped and groaned to turn into a dragon. ”

But in the turmoil two years ago, his performance obviously disappointed Boss Pei, especially his father, who disappointed Boss Pei even more.

The eldest sister was very dissatisfied with Pei Lao's blatant criticism of his father in the party and his father's resignation, and even hated the entire Pei family so much that she even ignored her classmates and friends in a courtyard, of course, the eldest sister's clear expression of love and hate is just a woman's opinion, she doesn't know how complicated high-level politics is, and many things are not necessarily Pei Lao's original intention.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Sister, Sister Xiaofan's lover Tian Weidong is now the director of a bureau under the Planning Commission, and we have to pass through him for the Jidong Running Project, I want to get in touch with him and tell me about our situation." ”

Lu Jiaju pursed her lips and said, "It's just a small bureau chief, can you use it?" Can't we find him to lead? Can't our Lu family reach it? ”

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Sister, you don't understand, it's more convenient to find him for these things." ”

Lu Jiaju saw that her younger brother really had something to ask for, so she hesitated, then took out the phone book from her handbag, flipped a few pages, and said, "Her pager number is here, I'll help you call her." Then he asked Caroline, "How many are the numbers here?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, in fact, the eldest sister has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, if she really wants to break off her friendship with Pei Xiaofan, what do you do with her contact information? After all, the pager is a contact tool that has only come out in the past few years, and it shouldn't take long for the eldest sister to get her pager number.

Not long after Lu Jiaju paged, the phone rang, Lu Jiaju pressed the speakerphone, and said to Lu Zheng: "You tell her." ”

Lu Zheng rubbed his hands together to make a plea, Lu Jiaju laughed, and then the voice of the woman feeding came from the phone: "Hello, who are you?" ”

Lu Jiaju hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaofan, I'm Lu Jiaju." ”

The woman on the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then her voice became pleasantly surprised, "Sister Xiaoju, is it you?" Is it really you? ”

"It's me, my brother Zhengzi, he has something to look for you, where are you, ask him to come over?" Lu Jiaju's tone was very light, but the warmth in her eyes betrayed her.

"Ah, it's not good for me to come here, or I'll go to you, where are you?" Pei Xiaofan's voice couldn't hide his joy.

Lu Jiaju said, "You come here?" It's okay, we're at the Pearl Hotel, 3901. ”

Hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaju was silent for a while, perhaps, remembering many people and many things in the past

About an hour later, the doorbell rang, Caroline walked over quickly to open the door, outside the door was a handsome woman in a dress, seeing Caroline was slightly stunned, Lu Zheng had already turned out from behind Caroline, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaofan." ”

Pei Xiaofan laughed and said with relief: "Zhengzi, you are mature, and you look like you have more temperament than your brother-in-law." ”

Lu Jiaju sneered: "Can your Lao Tian compare with Zhengzi?" ”

Pei Xiaofan smiled: "Can't compare, can't compare, as soon as you say Zhengzi, you're like beating chicken blood, I don't know, I think Zhengzi is your mouth." ”

"Besides, I'll tear your mouth apart" Lu Jiaju came over and was about to do it, and the two of them laughed, as if they had returned to the past in an instant.

Caroline took the fruit to the bar to squeeze the juice, and asked Pei Xiaofan: "What does Miss Pei drink?"

Pei Xiaofan smiled: "Whatever." ”

Seeing Pei Xiaofan looking at Caroline suspiciously from time to time, Lu Zheng explained beside her: "She is Miss Berg, the president of this hotel group, and my sister's friend. "Pei Xiaofan is an outsider anyway, so he naturally has to avoid taboos in front of her.

Pei Xiaofan suddenly understood Lu Zheng's words, and thought that Caroline was the manager who managed this hotel, Lu Jiaju was a member of the Pearl Club, and it was reasonable to know the hotel manager.

However, looking at the luxury around him, Pei Xiaofan said enviously: "Sister, you will still enjoy it, your old Hu has made a lot of money over the years, unlike Tian Weidong, just like an ascetic." ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "My brother-in-law is strict with himself, and I have to learn from my brother-in-law in this regard, no, what else can I ask my brother-in-law for help?" ”

Pei Xiaofan smiled: "Come on, what can you ask him for?" But let's not talk about this for now, my grandfather wants to meet you, just now I was at my grandfather's place, and my grandfather heard that you have returned to Beijing, and he is looking for me, so he said that you should go to the house and sit down. ”

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Grandpa Pei is a kind word, right?" ”

Pei Xiaofanjiao smiled: "I don't know if grandpa is kind or not?" I've said it several times, and I told me to come before I went out. ”

Lu Zheng sighed, thought for a while and said, "Then go now?" ”

Pei Xiaofan said: "Of course it's good." He said to Lu Jiaju again: "Sister, I'll accompany Zhengzi first, and then come back to you, I haven't chatted with you for a long time." ”

When Lu Zheng went out, he saw Caroline's blue eyes showing disappointment, so he took advantage of Pei Xiaofan's inattention and whispered in Caroline's ear: "Wait for me, I'll come over at night." ”

Caroline blinked and whispered, "No. When Lu Zheng blew his beard and glared at him, he turned around and talked to Lu Jiaju.
