This high-end hotel in the city center of the waterfront city stands in the night after the snow, and the style of Roman architecture in the neon light is particularly magnificent and full of style.

In the Roman Hall on the third floor, there were Shui Xiaolin, the vice president of the Binshui Institute of Technology, the director of general affairs, and the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, Li and several other people.

This is a banquet hall with an inside and outside division, with a banquet area inside and a reception area outside. The soft lighting, floor-to-ceiling drapes, European-style tables, chairs and sofas, as well as the thick beige carpet under the feet and the landscape oil paintings on the walls, all show the taste of the hotel and the dignity of tonight's guests!

Tonight, the host of the banquet is the Waterfront Institute of Technology, and the guest who was invited to the banquet is Qiu Zichuan, the newly appointed deputy director of the Waterfront City Construction Committee!

Qiu Zichuan has not yet arrived, because the scheduled time is six o'clock, and there is still a quarter of an hour left!

Last night, Shui Xiaolin, who had just had dinner, received a call from the vice president in charge of logistics, who usually had no contact with the college, and asked her if she and the new director Qiu of the Municipal Construction Committee were classmates

Shui Xiaolin was stunned at first! How did he know? In doubt, he replied casually, thinking that he was asking this, why did he ask this?

It turned out that the report and plan for the expansion of the college had already been submitted to the Municipal Construction Committee, but it had been shelved due to personnel changes, and knowing that the deputy director in charge of urban construction planning had taken office, the deputy director in charge of the expansion project contacted Qiu Zichuan several times with Deputy Director Li, who had met Qiu Zichuan at a meeting in the city. However, because Qiu Zichuan had just taken office, there were many things to do with the handover and familiarity with the work process, and because he was not familiar with the situation, Qiu Zichuan declined the banquet several times.

Yesterday, the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau Li came forward to contact him again, and Qiu Zichuan couldn't postpone it any longer, so he agreed to tonight's banquet. In order to make the atmosphere of the banquet more cordial and casual, the vice president wanted to find someone who was familiar with Qiu Zichuan to accompany him, and suddenly remembered who he remembered that Shui Xiaolin's past home was in Tanchi, and he calculated his age, thinking that they should be familiar with him, so he made this call.

Shui Xiaolin has always been a loner in Waterfront College, but it seems to be low-key, but it is also high-minded, except for the dean, most of the leaders still have a sense of distance from Shui Xiaolindo.

Listening to what the vice president said on the phone was very sincere, although he was not directly in charge of his own leadership, this face still had to be given, and the contradictory Shui Xiaolin agreed under the vice president's slightly joking compliments.

When I got up this morning, Shui Xiaolin was still struggling with this matter, should I reunite with him like this?

At such a banquet, he is a guest, a guest of the college, the academy is the master, the vice president is the master, there must be some other leaders, I am just accompanied, so what is it for me to sit there?

Just the identity of an old schoolmate?

With such a reunion, can I sit there and feel comfortable? The college has a request for him, although he is only the deputy county level that he has just mentioned, and the vice president is the county level for many years, but he must be condescending! Moreover, all the people at the banquet wanted to revolve around him, Qiu Zichuan held the moon like the stars! And me, too?

No, I can't go!

Besides, Wu Weidong has already said that in the past two days, the three of them sat together for a meal. Although they don't meet alone, they are together as old classmates as equals, even if they don't reminisce about the past, even if they don't complain, it is also a kind of warmth, and it is far better than this! At least, such a reunion is also a kind of decency!

No, I can't go!

But I'm not going, okay? I have promised the vice president, and they are so polite, and they have never asked themselves to do anything, not to mention that they are more or less leaders of the hospital! Even if you call again to excuse yourself, what kind of appropriate reason do you get?

It's not good not to go!

Also, if he resigns now, and the vice president said at the banquet that he had invited her Shui Xiaolin to accompany him, but because of other urgent matters, she Shui Xiaolin was temporarily absent, how would Qiu Zichuan feel?

Still not good!

Shui Xiaolin has been struggling with whether to go or not all day long! But even if she hasn't made the decision to go or not, Shui Xiaolin, after taking a nap, got up together, and started to bathe, put on makeup, and try on clothes in hesitation!

But it was almost evening, and before she could wait for her Shui Xiaolin to finally want to go out or not, the car that came to pick her up from the college had been parked downstairs.

It just so happened that among the more than a dozen sets of coats that had been taken out of the closet, Shui Xiaolin finally felt that one set was suitable, which was the gray blue that Qiu Zichuan liked!

Shui Xiaolin didn't know what kind of mood and thinking she was in, so she went downstairs and got in the car!

It's just that she thought on the way here, just go! It's just that on such an occasion, I have to hold my own measure, I haven't seen him for 19 years, and I haven't had a letter, I don't know if Qiu Zichuan is still each other's Qiu Zichuan. Since it is a public banquet, you will treat me three points, and I will treat you two points; If you treat me ten, I will treat you with full marks, after all, this is the banquet of the academy, all of them are courtesy! We'll talk about it later!

A group of people sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, exploring each other's past of Director Qiu, and when they asked Shui Xiaolin, Shui Xiaolin also smiled, saying that they were familiar before, but they hadn't seen each other for many years!

At this time, the vice president's mobile phone rang, and he was waiting for Qiu Zichuan in the downstairs hall, saying that he had gone up to the second floor with Director Qiu and the office director of the Municipal Construction Committee!

The vice president put down his mobile phone, got up as soon as he got up, and after a while, the door of the banquet hall opened from the outside, and the director of the office of the institute who pushed the door respectfully stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Qiu Zichuan is here!

The deputy director of the city's education bureau walked in front to greet him, and the vice president and the rest of the college followed.

Shui Xiaolin got up from the sofa, took a gentle step forward, and then stood there quietly, with a very light waiting smile on her face!

"Director Li, why are you making such a show!"

With a brisk but steady step, Qiu Zichuan appeared!

Tall, gray shirt, gray trousers, black leather shoes, and a very textured black wool suit on the upper body.

Shui Xiaolin's eyes lit up! I really didn't expect that after nineteen years, he would have such temperament and taste!

"It should be! You're welcome! The deputy director of the Education Bureau stepped forward and shook hands with Qiu Zichuan warmly.

"New Year's Day holiday, everyone sits together!" The vice president of the college, who had visited Qiu Zichuan at the Municipal Construction Committee, also warmly shook hands with Qiu Zichuan. Then, he introduced the other people of the academy to Qiu Zichuan one by one!

Much higher than then! But he is still so thin, still with a high and straight nose, and his eyes under the single eyelid seem to be a little softer, but they are still sharp! It's just that the face that is still cold has a slight vicissitudes of life! But it is full of a kind of male mature charm!

Seeing Qiu Zichuan standing tall and elegant, smiling quietly and humbly shaking hands with everyone, Shui Xiaolin sighed even more in her heart! I haven't seen him for nineteen years, I imagined that he should be very mature, but I didn't expect him to be so extraordinary!

At this moment, Shui Xiaolin had already felt the aura of Qiu Zichuan as soon as he appeared in a luxurious banquet hall!

"Hey! Mr. Water! At this time, the vice president found that there was no Shui Xiaolin among the people who introduced the handshake one by one, so he turned around and greeted Shui Xiaolin!

Almost at the same time! Crossing everyone's shoulders, Qiu Zichuan also saw Shui Xiaolin standing behind! He was stunned at first! Almost dizzy!

Is it her? It's her!

I didn't expect to reunite with Shui Xiaolin here and now, Qiu Zichuan's heart was shocked!

"Old classmate!"

But Qiu Zichuan quickly controlled himself in his heart, walked forward twice, his voice was neither high nor low, and he stretched out his hand with a smile! But I am sighing in my heart!

She's so beautiful! And there is an extra layer of elegance and light charm!

"Huh! Qiu Zichuan! I haven't forgotten about me yet! Shui Xiaolin also smiled and took a step forward, stretched out her hand slightly, and held Qiu Zichuan's outstretched hand.

"Huh! You're old classmates, so you don't need me to introduce you! "The vice president is very satisfied! I thought of letting Shui Xiaolin accompany me yesterday, and it seems to be right!

"How could I forget you!" Qiu Zichuan smiled and shook Shui Xiaolin's hand, but there was the same pun in his eyes as Shui Xiaolin!

"I haven't seen you in more than ten years!"

"Yes! I haven't seen you in more than ten years! Qiu Zichuan shook Shui Xiaolin's hard again!

Shui Xiaolin felt the power in Qiu Zichuan's hand and was full of sighs!

"Come on! Let's take a seat and talk! Looking at the lively atmosphere in front of him, it was the deputy director of the Education Bureau who hurriedly greeted Qiu Zichuan.

"Good! Everybody sits! "Let go of Shui Xiaolin's hand, Qiu Zichuan politely gave the vice president of the academy.

"Yes! Sit down and talk, sit down and talk! Walking into the banquet room, the vice president of the college stretched out his hand and asked Qiu Zichuan to be the guest of honor!

"Huh! I can't sit here! Seeing that the vice president of the college invited his guest of honor to take a seat, Qiu Zichuan smiled.

"What's wrong? Director Qiu! You're the one who pleases you tonight! Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau thought that Qiu Zichuan was polite!

"Director Qiu! If you don't sit, who do you say? The vice president of the academy also thought that Qiu Zichuan was polite.

"I really can't sit here!" Saying this, Qiu Zichuan's expression was stern.

What kind of score is this Qiu Zichuan!

At this time, Shui Xiaolin, who was standing on the side, was also stunned! , like everyone else, I don't understand all of a sudden, what kind of frame this new deputy director of the Municipal Construction Committee is holding!

Even the director of the office of the Municipal Construction Committee who came with him wondered! He wasn't sure what the new leader's style was!

"If you say you're inviting me tonight, then listen to me!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qiu Zichuan smiled and said word by word!

"Good! Listen to you! ”

"Listen to you!"

The Associate Dean of the College and Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau are almost in unison!

"It's my job, you don't need to invite me to dinner, I must do what I should do!" Qiu Zichuan was still standing and smiled at the vice president of the academy!

But the vice president still doesn't understand, can't he eat it! Going next?

"I just came to work in the city, and today is a holiday, so I'm glad that everyone can get to know me in advance!" Speaking of this, Qiu Zichuan paused and glanced at the audience. Then he turned his face to the vice president of the academy and smiled:

"But in terms of age and position, I should respect you! So, I'll have this meal tonight! Qiu Zichuan walked two steps to the vice president of the college, then pointed to the seat of the guest of honor with his hand, and said:

"Please!"

Treat people highly, anti-customer-oriented, advance and retreat, and be respectful. Shui Xiaolin on the side understood!

"Nope! No! How does this work? "The vice president of the academy was anxious when he heard this! Hurriedly waved his hand to pull Qiu Zichuan,

"How can this work!"

"No, no, no

The director of the office and the director of general affairs of the college also echoed the vice president of the college in unison.

It seems that the level of this Deputy Director Qiu is not low, and his deeds are not shallow! Low-key is not in words, but in good deeds! Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau and the director of the Office of the Municipal Construction Committee, who were standing on the side, immediately understood in their hearts that Qiu Zichuan would not be in the position of guest of honor tonight!

"What Director Qiu said makes sense!" Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau, who knew well, also hurriedly stood up to speak for Qiu Zichuan at this time.

"Director Li, you are the leader of our education mouth! Why are your elbows turned outwards! The deputy director of the college pointed to Director Li of the Education Bureau and shouted

"Director Qiu is right! It's a holiday, and even if you don't have a job, you're our big brother! I don't want your college to invite you today, nor Director Qiu, I'll invite you tonight! "It's a stalemate, and the atmosphere is so good! I didn't expect this Director Qiu of the Construction Committee to be so bold and humble, and Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau was also happy to further deepen his friendship with Qiu Zichuan!

"Huh! Director Lee! I, Qiu Zichuan, have just come to work in the city, you have to give me this opportunity, otherwise I will know your big brother in vain! After speaking, without waiting for Director Li of the Education Bureau to speak again, Qiu Zichuan walked lightly to the seat of the main escort, pointed to the office director who came with him, and said:

"You are the deputy escort!"

Then he turned around again, smiled at the vice president of the academy who didn't know how to be good, and said politely but sincerely:

"You sit! You must sit! Then, he turned to Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau, stretched out his hand to the seat of the deputy guest of honor, and said:

"Director Li, there are still a lot of places where I Qiu Zichuan needs your help and guidance in the future, today, you give me a face!"

"Good! It's better to be respectful than to obey! Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and Qiu Zichuan's tone was unquestionable, Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau walked quickly to the seat of the deputy guest of honor.

"Hey! What a situation has this become! The vice president of the academy shook his head helplessly, and sat down in the seat of the guest of honor with an uneasy feeling!

"Director Qiu is really exquisite!" After sitting down, Deputy Director Li of the Education Bureau sighed and nodded!

It's really three days of not seeing, when it is impressive!

Seeing the whole table sit still, Shui Xiaolin couldn't help but praise from the bottom of her heart, no wonder he Qiu Zichuan has been promoted so quickly over the years, both inside and outside!

The plan is not passed, there is a director above Qiu Zichuan, and there is also the deputy mayor in charge of the city. Although I have a lot of right to speak, and the right to pass the preliminary trial is in my own hands, how can I be new to it, and it is not easy to speak!

Since he was a child, his father was the leader of the city, and his mother was first the secretary of the general branch of Tanchi Middle School, and then the deputy secretary of the party committee of the Waterfront Institute of Technology, and later married into the family of the secretary of the municipal party committee.

The banquet has not started yet, and the scene just now made Shui Xiaolin deeply feel that Qiu Zichuan, who has not seen him for 19 years, is magnificent, Zhang Chi is moderate, and he is not rude.

Shui Xiaolin looked up unconsciously in her heart!

It seems that his footsteps will not only not stop at the position of deputy director of the Municipal Construction Committee, but also will not even stay in the position of the director of the Municipal Construction Committee!

Next, the banquet begins!

From beginning to end, Qiu Zichuan didn't say much, always smiling, but firmly controlling the rhythm on the table.

Toast each other, communicate with each other, Qiu Zichuan's words are appropriate, and the etiquette is reasonable! Left and right, there is a difference in severity, Qiu Zichuan is flattering and realistic, and he is humble! Just right everywhere!

One night, the cold wind outside the window was blowing, and the table was full of spring!

Shui Xiaolin has no worries in her heart before she came, and no more resentment against Qiu Zichuan before yesterday! She only felt that Qiu Zichuan, who was sitting in the main escort position tonight, was detached and chic, and his words were not high, but he exuded a kind of man's stretch and rigidity.

Although, Qiu Zichuan only touched a glass of wine with himself once a night, it was still symbolic! But from Qiu Zichuan's eyes, he could feel that the past was still written in it!

Shui Xiaolin seems to have returned to the feeling she had when she fell in love with Qiu Zichuan for the first time!

Even if because of Qiu Zichuan's indifference and Qiu Zichuan's stubbornness, he is angry in private and complains in private, but as long as he is with him, his heart is always sweet! Happy!

The banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere!

When saying goodbye in front of the hotel, Qiu Zichuan shook hands with himself for the last time, although it was only a soft sentence:

Nice to meet you!

But it's this phrase "It's nice to see you!" "Let Shui Xiaolin lose sleep in the middle of the night after returning home!

After that, I slept soundly!
