Chapter 285: Old Madam Xu's red envelope

Xu Chunting's table had three empty seats, which were reserved for Feng Qianru, Peng Yuanzheng and Xu Xiao.

Peng Yuanzheng smiled calmly, sat there, and saw Dongfang Yan looking at him with an extremely complicated eye, he couldn't help but smile at him, and greeted him gently, "Secretary Dongfang!" ”

Dongfang Yan nodded.

Xu Chunting glanced at the two of them, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Today, the old mother is 80th birthday, and we will set up a family banquet for the old man to celebrate his birthday." There are basically no outsiders, and Dongfang is just catching up with the province to do business, so he will come over to be lively and lively together - there are also two juniors, Yuanzheng and Qianru, who are their own people. ”

"This first glass of wine, let's wish the old mother good health and good life!"

Xu Chunting took the lead and drank it all.

The other children of the Xu family also followed, Feng Qianru took a sip of red wine, Peng Yuanzheng hesitated, and also dried up the liquor in the cup, and found out from the corner of his eye that Dongfang Yan, who was known as not drinking liquor in the city and had a very shallow amount of alcohol, also poured it down without changing his color.

In fact, the amount of Dongfang Rock wine is not small, and it is not that you don't drink liquor. Think about it, he has been in the provincial party committee office for so many years, how can he not drink alcohol when there are so many drinking bureaus. It's just that now his identity is different, he is the number one in Xin'an City, how can he say it, and who of the cadres below dares to be more serious with him?

But on this occasion today, he was already a little flattered, how dare he not drink this cup of wine to wish Mrs. Xu a long birthday.

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm. Because it is a family banquet, they are all the Xu family's own people, so there are no complicated rules in the officialdom. Even Xu Chunting let go of the amount, opened his heart, and drank two glasses of wine with his brother and brother-in-law.

From beginning to end, Xu Chunting did not introduce the identities of Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru, but judging from the cordial and "friendly" attitude of Xu Chunting and Mrs. Xu towards Peng Yuanzheng, the shock of Dongfang Yanxin became heavier and heavier.

Peng Yuanzheng is a junior, and he got up to toast one by one, starting with Mrs. Feng, and finally it was Dongfang Yan's turn.

"Secretary Dongfang, the first time I drank with the leader, I did it first as a respect." Peng Yuanzheng pinched the small wine cup and drank it all. Dongfang Yan got up with a smile, "Comrade Expedition is too polite, I'll do it too!" ”

If it was in the city, no matter how sincere Peng Yuanzheng toasted, Dongfang Yan would at most just stick his lips, and it would be impossible for him to stand up.

Xu Chunting sat there and interjected with a faint smile, "Dongfang, the expedition is serving in your city, you have to care more about his growth!" ”

This is the first time Xu Chunting has spoken for Peng Yuanzheng today, and it is also the only time, this is the only sentence. But this sentence, for Dongfang Yan, it is a thousand weights.

Dongfang Yan hurriedly smiled respectfully, "Secretary Xu rest assured, Comrade Yuanzheng has both ability and political integrity, outstanding ability, and comprehensive quality, and is a young reserve cadre who is the focus of our city's inspection, and has a bright future in the future." ”

Xu Chunting smiled slightly, then turned his head and continued to talk to his sister.

"Secretary Dongfang has won the award." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, and Dongfang Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Sit, sit." ”

While she was talking, Mrs. Xu suddenly took out two red envelopes from her pocket with a smile and said, "Expedition, Qianru, the first time grandma saw your two children, she wrapped a red envelope for each of you!" I can't let you call these two grandma for nothing! ”

Peng Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, you are so polite, we came to celebrate your birthday today, and we didn't bring any gifts, how can we ask for your old red envelopes." ”

Feng Qianru also smiled and declined, "Grandma, as long as you are healthy and we are juniors, we are very happy, don't dare to ask for red envelopes!" ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, pretending to be unhappy and said, "What, you don't want grandma to give a red envelope, don't you take me as a grandma?" ”…,

Yuan Xiulan smiled on the side, "Expedition, Qianru, this is *** little heart, if you don't accept it, grandma will be unhappy." ”

Xu Chunting also smiled and turned his head to look at Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru.

Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, knowing that this red envelope must have been prepared by the Xu family, and it was just sent out by the old lady's hand. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a manifestation of the Xu family's invisible overtures to the Feng family. If he doesn't accept it, I'm afraid it will make Xu Chunting unhappy.

He took it with a wry smile, "Thank you, grandma!" ”

Mrs. Xu smiled happily, "That's good." When you get married, grandma will give you a big red envelope! ”

Peng Yuanzheng smiled, and Feng Qianru's face turned red.

Xu Xiao stretched out his hand with a bitter face on the side, "Grandma, why don't you have my red envelope?" Grandma, you're too eccentric. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and patted Xu Xiao's hand, "You kid, don't you get *** red envelopes?" This year's Chinese New Year, you were the first to come and ask your grandma for a red envelope! ”

……

……

At the end of Mrs. Xu's birthday banquet, it was already evening. When the old lady was leaving, she held Feng Qianru and Peng Yuanzheng's hands tightly, and repeatedly told them to come to the provincial capital often to see her in the future, and only got in the car and left when the two agreed.

Xu Chunting and Yuan Xiulan stood at the gate of Wolong Villa, smiling goodbye to their relatives.

Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru stood at the corner of the lobby of the villa, took out the red envelope given by Mrs. Xu, opened it, and saw that there was no imaginary "New Year's money" inside, but a golden gold chain, and at the lower end was a heart-shaped exquisite small gold lock.

He was taken aback, "Qianru, look at yours." ”

Feng Qianru took out another red envelope as she said and looked at it, and sure enough, the red envelope given to Feng Qianru was also the same item.

Peng Yuanzheng didn't know how much the price of gold jewelry was this year, but such two gold necklaces with gold locks should be expensive. He didn't expect the Xu family to give such a heavy meeting gift, he wanted to return it but felt that it was inappropriate, so he put it away after thinking about it for a long time.

"Brother Expedition, take it, but I have to talk to my father and mother when I go back. As for grandpa's side, I think it's better to forget it, otherwise, I will have to let grandpa scold the two of us to death. Feng Qianru stuck out her tongue mischievously, and her cute appearance made Peng Yuanzheng's heart warm for a while, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug her.

Feng Qianru's face turned red, and she struggled for a moment and said in a low voice, "Brother Yuanzheng, everyone else is watching." ”

Ahem, ahem! Xu Xiao coughed with an exaggerated expression on the side, and Feng Qianru suddenly pushed Peng Yuanzheng away and ran to the side.

Over there, Xu Chunting turned his head and saw that Dongfang Yan was still standing on one side, so he smiled and said, "Dongfang." ”

Dongfang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Secretary Xu! ”

"Xin'an is an old industrial city with a strong foundation. However, whether or not you can take advantage of the current reform and opening up to reach a higher level depends on the work level of your current municipal party committee and government team. ”

Xu Chunting waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Please rest assured that Secretary Xu will work hard and live up to the trust of the leaders of the provincial party committee." Dongfang Yan's waist board was straight, and he said solemnly.

"Deepen reform and do a good job in the economy. Development is the first priority, and the economy is the primary productive force. However, while grasping reform and the economy, we must maintain overall stability! Xu Chunting's words seemed to have something to say, faintly pointing to his recent dispute with Mayor Zhou Guangli.

Dongfang Yan's heart tightened, and he didn't reply immediately, but his attitude was more humble and respectful.

"The provincial party committee is basically quite satisfied with the work of your municipal party committee. Recently, in order to strengthen your Standing Committee, the Provincial Party Committee has decided to approve your nomination and add Comrade Qin Feng, Secretary of the Xin'an District Party Committee, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee...... Okay, Dongfang, go back to Xin'an and work hard, I believe you have the ability and level. ”…,

"Thank you Secretary Xu and the leaders of the provincial party committee for their trust in our municipal party committee." Hearing that Qin Feng had been added to the Standing Committee, Dongfang Yanxin was startled, and felt a little sudden. He had previously recommended Qin Feng to the Provincial Party Committee and was rejected by the Provincial Party Committee, but this time there was a sudden turn - what does this mean? Is there someone behind Qin Feng? No way?

For Qin Feng, Dongfang Yan still feels that he knows better. If Qin Feng had someone in the province, he would not have run the post of deputy mayor last time.

Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru walked side by side to say goodbye, "Secretary Xu, let's go back too." ”

"Well, you pay attention to safety on the road, and come to the province to see your Grandma Xu more in the future, so that she won't whisper in my ear." Xu Chunting glanced at Xu Xiao with a smile, suggesting that her daughter send a car to send the two back.

Dongfang Yan said with a smile, "Comrade Expedition, let's go together and take my car." ”

"Thank you, Secretary Dongfang." Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Yan strode up to his special car and waved to Chen Shanning. Chen Shanning ran over and said respectfully, "Leader, let's go back?" ”

Dongfang Yan said lightly, "Xiao Chen, you go home for one night, don't go back to Xin'an with me today—don't say anything to others about today's matter." ”

Chen Shanning used to work in the provincial party committee office, and his home was in the provincial capital. Suddenly, when he heard Dongfang Yan ask him to go home for one night first, he originally felt a little strange, why didn't he let himself follow? But he immediately heard Dongfang Yan greet Peng Yuanzheng with a smile, "Come, comrade expedition, Miss Qianru, get in the car!" ”

Chen Shanning suddenly realized, and blushed in embarrassment: it turned out that Dongfang Yan didn't care about himself, but the car could only seat four people, and his secretary became redundant.

Feng Qianru took the initiative to take the co-pilot's position. Chen Shanning opened the car door and said respectfully, "Leader, Mayor Peng, please get in the car!" ”

Quietly, in Chen Shanning's mouth, "Mayor Peng" was transformed into "Mayor Peng", which probably reflected his true mentality, and he himself may not be aware of this at all.

Dongfang Yan got into the car, Peng Yuanzheng glanced at Chen Shanning, and said with a faint smile, "Thank you." Then I got in the car too.

The driver immediately started the car and drove away from Wolong Villa in the faint night. Chen Shanning stood there and gritted his teeth, suddenly remembering that this place was far away from the city, and he couldn't take a taxi if he wanted to, and what was waiting for him would be a long journey of ten kilometers of mountain roads. His face turned bitter, and he cursed a few times secretly, but he walked down the mountain depressedly—
