In the past ten years, Su Xueling has been crawling and rolling in the officialdom full of sludge and muddy water, and has experienced too many bitterness and bitterness, almost no one remembers her glorious experience in the Provincial Flower Drum Troupe, and even she herself almost forgot the incomparably beautiful artistic time at the beginning.

Therefore, when she heard Zhang Linjiang and Lu Nianzi revisit the old story of the couple, and talked about the classic flower drum opera she sang more than ten years ago, Su Xueling only felt a stirring in her heart, and those beautiful and glorious times in the past suddenly came to her mind, making her eyes gradually red in an instant, and she held Lu Nianzi's hand tightly with a little trembling palm, and her voice was almost choked: "Director Lu, thank you and Director Zhang for your affirmation and encouragement to me." It's a pity that I left the theater stage ten years ago, and I am no longer worthy of the title of famous flower drum opera, which is really ashamed! ”

Lu Nianzi is a smart woman in ice and snow, when she saw Su Xueling saying this, her eyes were slightly red, her voice was choked, and she vaguely guessed in her heart that she suddenly left the drama stage and gave up the privileged life in the provincial city to Beishan to be a small deputy section-level cadre, there must be a hidden secret, so she did not ask her why she gave up drama performance, but patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Director Su, life is expensive and comfortable, flashy fame and fortune are like a passing cloud, and there is no need to remember if you are lost and in the past." I believe that you chose to retreat bravely from the rapids at the most glorious time, and there must be your most appropriate and suitable reasons. Now that you've made your choice, move forward firmly according to your set goals, without having to think about the past or let it stand in the way. I may be speaking a little bit of a word, but I'm sure you can understand it. ”

When Su Xueling heard her words, she nodded thoughtfully and thanked her in a low voice.

Wu Minggao has been standing beside Zhang Linjiang with great interest, pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation between Lu Nianzi and Su Xueling, and accidentally looked up at the box, and saw that Zhang Jiankun was still standing in place, with a look of embarrassment and atrophy on his face, guessing that he must be a little uncomfortable at the moment, so he walked to Lu Nianzi's side, bent down and whispered: "Director Lu, Minister Zhang Jiankun of the Propaganda Department of our Min'an Municipal Party Committee also attended the signing ceremony just now, and he is still in the box, do you want to meet him?" ”

Lu Nianzi frowned when she heard the words "Zhang Jiankun", glanced sideways at the box, and asked, "Mayor Wu, is this Minister Zhang the original secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee?" ”

"Yes, yes, he turned out to be the secretary of the Beishan County Party Committee, and Xiao Ye took over his position."

Lu Nianzi's face suddenly fell, and she said coldly: "Mayor Wu, I'm sorry, I'm here to visit and entertain the Beishan County Investment Promotion Group today, and I'm not interested in meeting anyone else." Besides, I'm a small department-level cadre, how can I be qualified to meet with the dignified Propaganda Minister of the Min'an Municipal Party Committee, Mayor Wu, what you said is a bit too much! ”

Wu Minggao was choked by her words, his face flushed, and he was speechless for a long time. And Zhang Jiankun in the box also heard Lu Nianzi's words clearly, and he only felt cold in his heart, and the feeling of fear and despair became more and more intense......

Wei Xiaojun, who was standing with Zhang Jiankun, felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he walked out of the box, first greeted Lu Nianzi, Zhang Linjiang and other leaders with a smile, and then used the excuse of reporting something to Wu Minggao, pulled him far aside, and asked in a low voice: "Mayor Wu, are you going to eat with us or are you waiting for Director Lu to invite you?" I just heard Director Lu say that she made a special trip to invite the Beishan Investment Promotion Group, and if you are not among her invitations, it will be very embarrassing! I suggest you take your own leave of Director Deer now, and say that you want to come to our side for dinner. If Commissioner Deer wants to invite you to dinner, she will definitely keep you so that you can avoid an awkward situation. ”

Wu Minggao's biggest desire now is to be able to have dinner with Lu Nianzi and Zhang Linjiang and his wife, exchange feelings, although he feels that what Wei Xiaojun said is reasonable, but I am afraid that if he really goes to say goodbye to Lu Nianzi, with her arrogant and straightforward character, it is likely that she will not keep herself, in that case, wouldn't she be a big loss?

So, after a moment of silence, he said, "I can't say goodbye to Director Deer now. Just now, Xiao Ye had invited me to have dinner with them, although Director Lu did not express his position, nor did he officially invite me, but since Xiao Ye invited me, he should have consulted Director Lu and Director Zhang. If I say goodbye to Director Deer now, she will definitely think that I don't understand taste and pretend to be pretentious, which is not good. Why don't you go with Minister Jiankun first, I'll still eat here." ”

Wei Xiaojun knew that Wu Minggao had a rare opportunity today, so he was not reluctant, turned back to the box and pulled Zhang Jiankun up, and went to the VIP box area on the west side of the hall together.

When Wu Minggao returned to the door of the No. 6 box, he saw that Zhang Yan had already stood beside Xia Chuchu, and was about to take Lu Nianzi and the others to the elevator on the east side of the hall, so he hurriedly pulled Ye Ming aside, and asked in a low voice a little anxiously: "Xiao Ye, are you going to the box for dinner?" I had already rejected Wei Xiaojun's side just now, but Director Lu said that she was here to entertain the Beishan Merchants Group tonight, and did not invite me to dinner with her, you see-"

Ye Ming felt a little funny when he saw his anxious look, so he smiled and said: "Mayor Wu, you have just presided over the investment signing ceremony between our Beishan County and Fuxin Group, and you must be the person of our Beishan Investment Promotion Group, and you are our commander-in-chief and backbone." Director Lu invited the Beishan Investment Promotion Group, you are the protagonist, how can you say that you were not invited? ”

Wu Minggao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Ye Ming's "reasonable" explanation, patted Ye Ming's shoulder with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am indeed from the Beishan Investment Promotion Group, it seems that I am a little old and confused, hahaha!" ”

Then, he walked side by side with Ye Ming excitedly, followed Zhang Yan to take the elevator to an ultra-luxurious box on the sixth floor, and under Ye Ming's arrangement, everyone sat down in their respective seats according to the basic etiquette rules.

When Ye Ming was about to sit down, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was Director Lou from the Beijing Office of Civil Security who called, saying that he was now in the corridor on the sixth floor, and asked Secretary Ye to go out for a while, and he had to look for him for a little thing.

Ye Ming hurriedly said to Lu Nianzi and the others, and then came to the outside of the box, only to see Director Lou standing alone in the corridor, and when he saw Ye Ming coming, he first said with a sad face: "Secretary Ye, I'm really sorry, I made you feel wronged yesterday, although it was arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, but as the person in charge of the Beijing Office of Civil Security, I didn't stop their negligent behavior in time, and let your dignified county party secretary be humiliated, and I have to bear a lot of responsibility for this." I sincerely apologize to you now, and I hope that Secretary Ye will be a lot and don't care about my mistakes. ”

Ye Ming was indeed a little disgusted and had some opinions about this Director Lou yesterday, but then he thought that this was all arranged by Zhang Jiankun, and he was just acting on orders, so he was relieved, but he didn't expect that he would run to the sixth floor to apologize to himself now, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Director Lou, I know that you also have unavoidable hardships, and I won't blame you." ”
