The box arranged by Chen Yuanqiao for supper is the "Golden Brilliant" box of the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.

This box is not big, but the decoration is very luxurious, and on the left side of the large box, there is a delicate small box, which belongs to the pattern of "bag in the bag".

The reason why Chen Yuanqiao wanted to make such an arrangement was because he was going to welcome a distinguished guest: She Chuming, the deputy mayor of the provincial capital who was in charge of urban construction, land and planning.

She Chuming, Chen Mengqi's maternal uncle, was originally the director of the provincial capital city planning bureau and was promoted to deputy mayor only a few months ago.

Chen Yuanqiao has been engaged in real estate development in the provincial capital in recent years, relying on his brother-in-law, who has been the director of the planning bureau for many years. Every penny he makes in the real estate industry is basically due to She Chuming. Therefore, he has great respect for this brother-in-law who has become the deputy mayor, and even a little afraid.

Just now, he called She Chuming and told him that Chen Mengqi and a boy named Ye Ming had successfully held hands, and he was going to go to Jinqiao Hotel for supper to celebrate.

After She Chuming asked Ye Ming's basic situation, he said very angrily on the phone: "Brother-in-law, how did you become a parent?" How can it be from Kiki's temperament? I told you: in the current society, marriage is also a means of transaction, whether it is in the shopping mall or in the officialdom! A good marriage may bring huge business opportunities and official fortunes. For example, Kiki, she is so beautiful, and you are a person in the shopping mall, she should find a family with the right family, whether it is in the shopping mall or in the officialdom, in short, it must be helpful for your future career development. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued: "I think, that Xia Haoyu of Huayu Heavy Industry is a good match for Qiqi!" Huayu Heavy Industry is an international large group, Xia Haoyu's father is the chairman of the absolute holding of this group, and he himself is also the general manager of the group, which can be described as a young and promising person. Moreover, he is also very good-looking, and he is more than enough with Kiki. People are so attentive and focused on Kiki, why should Kiki reject him? Why don't you parents persuade her? I just heard you talk about the situation of that tax cadre, how can he be worthy of Qiqi? The tax cadres of a small county town have worked hard all their lives, and at best they can climb to the department level, and it depends on whether he has the ability and creation. Therefore, I am firmly opposed to Kiki finding such a person as a boyfriend! ”

Chen Yuanqiao said with a smile: "Chu Ming, I have the same idea as you, and I don't like Qiqi to find such a boy who has no roots, no foundation, and nothing." But you also know: In the past few years, Kiki has been thinking about a person, and she has been sick for it. And this person is the tax cadre of this Xinleng County. She loves this lad to death now, loves him to death. Looking at her appearance, for the sake of that boy, she can do without a family, without parents, and without the family business I worked so hard to earn for her. I reckon: as long as we show the slightest objection to her dating that boy, maybe she will elope with someone right away! You say, "What can I do with your sister to have such a daughter?" ”

She Chuming was silent for a while, and finally said, "That's it, I'll rush to Jinqiao now, and you let that boy come to see me." I'd like to see if he had flowers on his face, or if he had a golden glow on his head, and he had fascinated Kiki like that. ”

Chen Yuanqiao was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay." I'll be waiting for you in that little private room in the splendour. By the way, Deputy Director Zhang of the Provincial TV Station is also with me, wait for you to talk more! ”

So, after entering the "splendid" box, Chen Yuanqiao asked Chen Mengqi to arrange for her sisters and the general staff of the TV station to sit in the big box outside, and he took Director Zhang and several editors of the TV station into the private room.

About ten minutes later, Chen Yuanqiao estimated that She Chuming would arrive, so he walked out of the private room with Director Zhang, beckoned to Chen Mengqi, and said, "Qiqi, wait for your uncle to come over for supper, you and Xiao Ye follow us outside to greet you." ”

Chen Mengqi hurriedly took Ye Ming's hand and said, "Brother Ye, my uncle is coming later, let's go to the door to greet you." ”

Ye Ming saw that it was her elders who wanted to come over, so it was difficult to refuse, so he followed her to the outside of the box.

A few minutes later, She Chuming and his secretary came to the door of the box.

Chen Yuanqiao greeted him with a smile on his face, took his hand, first introduced Director Zhang to him, and then pointed at Ye Ming and said, "This young man is Qiqi's boyfriend." ”

Chen Mengqi pulled Ye Ming over and shouted "uncle" with a smile.

Ye Ming didn't want to follow Chen Mengqi to call him uncle, but he didn't know who the other party's surname was and what his position was, so he didn't know what to call him for a while, so he had to smile at him.

She Chuming saw that he didn't call his uncle or his position, and he didn't even say hello, he was very angry in his heart, glanced at Ye Ming coldly, and walked into the private room without saying a word.

Chen Mengqi saw that his uncle had this attitude towards Ye Ming, he was so angry and anxious that tears almost flowed out.

Ye Ming didn't care, and said to Chen Mengqi with a smile: "Your uncle is full of officials, he is a big official!" ”

"I just became deputy mayor, and I was the director of the planning bureau. Hmph, what's the spirit? In the future, you will be a governor and show him, and you will be angry with him! ”

Chen Mengqi glanced at his uncle's back, and muttered in a low voice - everything she is centered on Ye Ming now, whoever is not polite to Ye Ming, she hates whom, even her own uncle is no exception.

Ye Ming saw that she showed the willful temper of a little girl, and he was amused in his heart, and also whispered: "By the day I become the governor, your uncle may have ascended to heaven and gone to be a secretary to God, how can I be angry with him?" Hehe! ”

Seeing that he was not angry, Chen Mengqi smiled and pulled him into the box outside again, ready to have a few drinks with the sisters who had been standing together on the stage for months.

At this moment, Chen Yuanqiao shouted inside: "Qiqi, you bring Xiao Ye in, uncle has something to ask you." ”

Chen Mengqi didn't want to take Ye Ming in, for fear that her uncle would show him another look, but if she didn't go in, she was afraid that her uncle would be even more angry, so she reluctantly took Ye Ming into the private room.

After She Chuming waited for them to sit down, he looked Ye Ming up and down again, and suddenly asked, "Your name is Ye Ming, right?" What is your current position in your county bureau? ”

Ye Ming knew that his deputy director, the deputy director of the First Branch, was not even a grain of sesame in the eyes of an official of She Chuming's level, so he simply replied: "I don't have a position, I am just a section member." ”

Chen Mengqi already knew that Ye Ming was now the deputy director of the sub-bureau, so he hurriedly added: "Uncle, Ye Ming has just been promoted to the deputy director of the first sub-bureau by their bureau!" ”

She Chuming was stunned for a moment, carefully set the level of the deputy director of the sub-bureau, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "The deputy director of the sub-bureau? That's a deputy chief, and it's not much different from an ordinary clerk. ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Mayor She is right, I am an official position that is not in the stream, and it is almost the same whether I have it or not." ”
