Xia Gong didn't know the person standing outside the door, and said, "This is Xia Changning's home, may I ask who you are?" ”

"You're Old Xia?" The person who came was very enthusiastic, and immediately stretched out his hands to Xia Gong, and said: "Hello Xia Lao, my name is Pang Naijie, I am the deputy mayor of Pingshan City, and I made a special trip to Yunhai today to visit your old man." ”

"...... you recognize" Xia Gong knew that the other party recognized the wrong person, so he didn't stretch out his hand

"Haha, I said that it sounds like the third brother, it turns out that it is really the third brother!" Zeng Yi walked to the door at this time, stretched out his hand to hold Pang Naijie, avoiding the embarrassment of the other party, and said with a smile: "It's really a place where you don't meet in life, I didn't expect to meet Pang Sange here today, I was so surprised." ”

Xia Gong looked at Zeng Yi with a sideways face, the expression on his face was a little surprised, and said, "Zeng Yi, you know him ...... you?"

Zeng Yi said: "Know, know, this is my third brother Pang." ”

Pang Naijie was also very surprised when he saw Zeng Yi coming out of the house, because he couldn't figure out the state, he could only hold Zeng Yi's hand first and laughed: "Yes, yes, Zeng Yi and I have known each other for many years." ”

"Since you know each other, then come in and talk!" Xia Gong said hello, turned around and entered the house, and said in his heart that this thing is so strange today, if it wasn't for the other party coming up, he would have confessed that he was wrong, and he almost thought that this person was brought by Zeng Yi.

"Third brother, please come in!" Zeng Yi raised his hand and enthusiastically wanted to let Pang Naijie in.

Pang Naijie was still confused at this time, so he didn't move, just looked at the door, and said, "Brother Zeng, I'm here to visit Xia Changning Ning Elder today, this ......"

"This is Xia Changning's home! The one in front of you is also Xia Lao, but it is not the Xia Lao you are looking for, third brother. Zeng Yi laughed and explained: "This is Xia Fangyuan Xia Lao, the chief engineer of the Iron Survey Institute, and the Xia Lao you are looking for is Xia Gong's brother." He's not at home right now. Maybe I went out for a walk, and the third brother came in and sat and waited. ”

Pang Naijie then understood what was going on, slapped his head, and blamed himself again and again: "You see that I am so reckless, I just mistook Feng Jing for a cold, sinful." Sin. "Finished. Pang Naijie followed Zeng Yi into the house and came to Xia Gong to apologize incessantly.

"Out of the way, out of the way!" Xia Gong smiled and waved his hand, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Three...... Mayor Pang is, please take a seat, let's sit down and talk. Xia Gong heard Zeng Yi keep calling the third brother, and almost made an oolong incident. I want to call Pang Naijie the third mayor.

Pang Naijie said a few more polite words, and then found a seat on the sofa and sat down, after sitting down, he looked left and right in the room, and asked, "Xia Lao has been in good health recently?" ”

Xia Gong was confused when he listened, and he didn't know if Pang Naijie was asking about himself or his brother. So after thinking about it, he said, "Brother is all right, and it's been better recently!" Xia Gong felt that Pang Naijie didn't know him, so he was asking about his brother's condition.

Pang Naijie was stunned when he heard it, and said in his heart What does Xia Gong mean by this, what is it called being better recently, this seems to be something in the words, is it dissatisfied with himself. Pang Naijie had to laugh twice, and then glanced at Zeng Yi, wanting Zeng Yi to help him solve his doubts.

Zeng Yi understood what Xia Gong meant, this Xia Gong has always been straightforward when he speaks. The so-called recent betterness definitely refers to the recontinuation of Xia Changning and Wang Hongni's front edge, and people are naturally in better health when they are happy. He smiled and said, "Yes, I see that Xia Lao has been looking very good recently, as if he is more than ten years younger!" ”

Xia Gong laughed and said, "I think so, now the two of us go out together, and others say that I am my brother!" ”

Zeng Yi said: "Xia Lao, the nature of your work is special, you are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and you will definitely look old when you look at it, but this is not a bad thing for your health." ”

Pang Naijie next to him listened to the conversation between the two, and then he was completely relieved, it seemed that he was thinking too much, and Xia Gong's words didn't mean anything else.

Putting his mind at ease, Pang Naijie began to ponder today's situation, he also observed the dialogue between Zeng Yi and Xia Fangyuan just now, the conversation between the two can be said to be very casual, without the slightest politeness and appearance, which shows that the relationship between Zeng Yi and Xia Fangyuan is very close, and further, maybe Zeng Yi is still a frequent visitor to the Xia family.

Thinking of this, Pang Naijie couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, Zeng Yi and the Xia family are so close, so did he just come to the Xia family today as a guest, or did he go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?

"Could it be for that too?"

Pang Naijie's nose couldn't help but move slightly, if Zeng Yi had the same purpose as himself, then the matter would be tricky.

Seeing Zeng Yi and Xia Gong chatting there, Pang Naijie suddenly remembered Xia Gong's identity again, could it be that he thought about it again, Xia Gong is a big engineer of the Railway Survey Institute, everyone knows now that the planned new railway trunk line will run through Dongjiang Province, such a big political achievement project, Zeng Yi is impossible not to be moved, maybe the purpose of his coming here today is to fight for the railway line, Xia Gong must have some say in this matter.

"I hope so!"

Pang Naijie comforted himself in his heart, he was very aware of Zeng Yi's connections, especially Zeng Yi's ability and style of acting, it was definitely not a good thing to compete with someone like Zeng Yi.

With Pang Naijie here, Zeng Yi didn't mention a few words about the railway, so as not to embarrass Xia Gong, this matter can only be discussed by two people in private, how can it be said in front of outsiders; Pang Naijie naturally didn't mention the purpose of his coming, but just chatted with Zeng Yi and Xia Gong.

Pang Naijie is a very talkative person, and he has deep knowledge, he can talk a few words in Tiannan and Haibei, and he can also say a few points, so the three of them chatted very speculatively, and drank two pots of tea, and everyone did not feel bored.

After chatting for more than an hour, seeing that it was almost noon, the sound of unlocking finally came from the door, and the three of them looked at it together, no need to guess, this must be Xia Changning coming back.

Sure enough, after the door was opened, Xia Changning walked in with a bird cage, and when he saw the gifts placed at the door, he casually asked, "Fang Yuan, are there any guests at home?" ”

Zeng Yi stood up at this time and said, "Old Xia, I took the liberty to disturb it." ”

Xia Changning saw Zeng Yi and said with a smile: "What's not to disturb, you are not a guest, just come, why do you still bring these things, it's too out-of-the-box!" ”

Pang Naijie also stood up, and when he heard this, he was even more nervous, the person in front of him must be the Xia Changning he was looking for, but he didn't expect that the relationship between Zeng Yi and Xia Changning was so good, in the end, Zeng Yi was here to fight for the railway, if not, then he had to be vigilant.

Walking forward quickly, Pang Naijie stretched out his hands again, and was about to greet Xia Fangyuan, saying, "Hello Old Xia......"

As soon as the hand was stretched out, the figure at the door flashed, and a middle-aged lady with an elegant temperament came in, holding Xia Changning's crutch in one hand and a convenient bag in the other, which also revealed fresh green vegetable leaves, it seemed that she had just come back from the vegetable market, even if she was dressed like this, she couldn't hide the elegance and simplicity of this noble lady.

"Changning, is the county magistrate Xiaozeng here? I think I heard him! The middle-aged lady entered the door and asked with a smile, obviously it was Wang Xi's sister Wang Hongni.

Pang Naijie's expression suddenly changed greatly, and his heart was even more shocked, even if the relationship between Zeng Yi and the two Xia brothers was close, Pang Naijie was only vigilant, but seeing that Wang Hongni was also so familiar with Zeng Yi, Pang Naijie became surprised, because he knew very well that the person he really wanted to see when he came here today was not Xia Changning, but the Wang Hongni in front of him.

Although the horror only flashed from Pang Naijie's face, Zeng Yi, who was standing on the side, was still sensitively aware that when he saw clearly that the person who came in was Wang Hongni, Zeng Yi's heart immediately realized that the investment candidate mentioned by Wang Xi was actually Pingshan City!

Zeng Yi was also very shocked, to be honest, he didn't want to make enemies everywhere, especially people like Pang Naijie, although Zeng Yi was usually very disdainful of those gentlemen, but this did not mean that Zeng Yi would despise these people, otherwise Zeng Yi would not have won the title of "Yanai Killer". Zeng Yi knows very well that Pang Naijie is not an embroidered pillow like Sun Yi and Chang Junjie, this is a real hero, and it is not wise to make enemies with him.

But if Zeng Yi wants to stop and give up Wang Xi's special steel project, it is already impossible, for this project, Zeng Yi has already changed the railway plan, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if this matter is exposed, Zeng Yi is a "thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh" for many people, and even this incident has alarmed Xu Lao, Zhai Lao, and that Zhai Wanshan, it is impossible to let go.

Moreover, Zeng Yi doesn't want to give up at all, his dictionary has never had the word "give up", as long as Wang Xi does not make the final decision, he and Pang Naijie are only in a relationship of equal competition, I believe Pang Naijie also understands this truth.

"It's me!" Zeng Yi calmed down and smiled at Wang Hongni who walked in the door: "I'm coming to visit Xia Lao and you." ”

Wang Hongni hung Xia Fangyuan's crutch at the door, shook the convenience bag in her hand at Zeng Yi, and said, "Eat here at noon, try my craftsmanship, and ensure that it is an authentic Fengqing taste." ”

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Then I have a good mouth today!" ”

As she spoke, Wang Hongni carried the convenience bag to the kitchen, and said, "Changning, you will accompany the county magistrate Xiaozeng to talk, and the meal will be ready soon!" ”

"Hello, Ms. Wang!" Pang Naijie couldn't be silent any longer, he stepped to the side and stood in front of Wang Hongni.

Wang Hongni looked up at Pang Naijie, her expression was a little puzzled, she thought that this was a guest who came with Zeng Yi, or a colleague of Xia Fangyuan, but she didn't expect this person to say her surname, she said, "You are ......"

Pang Naijie also pressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart and said: "My name is Pang Naijie, and I am the deputy mayor of Pingshan City. ”

Wang Hongni said "oh", she already understood Pang Naijie's intention, she heard Wang Xi say that the special steel project is likely to be a choice between Pingshan City and Fengqing County, but Wang Hongni has never interfered in her brother's affairs, so she just bowed politely and said with a smile: "Hello Mayor Pang, since you are here, please sit down and wait for a while, lunch is in the deal!" ”
