Chapter 280: Steproom
At noon, the black and shiny Daben appeared in the foyer of the Iron Gate Hotel.
This time, Director Xiao was alone and did not bring a "personal female bodyguard". came to the banquet, and it was to Huang Dapeng's banquet, and Director Xiao was not too public.
Huang Dapeng, deputy secretary of the Yanbei Provincial Party Committee, and Xiao Fan also heard about it. This is mainly because of the special geographical location of Yanbei, the garrison of Beijing, Huang Dapeng, as an old comrade in the Yanbei Provincial Party Committee, even Director Xiao of the Religious Affairs Bureau has heard of it. Change to the third-in-command in a remote province, Director Xiao may not have heard of it.
Huang Dapeng is a very old-fashioned person, nearly 60 years old, and is close to the upper age limit of the second line of retirement for vice-provincial and ministerial-level cadres. Of course, a third-in-command of the provincial party committee with old qualifications like Huang Dapeng usually arranges a second-tier post at the ministerial level when he retires from his post of real power, and retires for a long time. If it is operated properly and the bigwigs above are willing to take a boost, it is not impossible to arrange a ministerial-level post with a certain amount of real power.
Last night, Fang Li said that he would take him to visit a few comrades, and Xiao Fan knew that he would definitely have to meet Huang Dapeng. Since he has intervened in Yanbei's game, it is necessary to represent the old Xiao family at this moment, and it is necessary to meet Huang Dapeng and show the attitude of the old Xiao family. With Fang Li as the introducer of this meeting, it is actually more revealing.
At least during the time he was working in Yanbei, Fang Li had already decided to join forces with the old Xiao family. In the future, as long as there are no big accidents, the Fang family will definitely continue to be an ally of the Xiao family. From the perspective of political marriage, in a few years, when Fang Yumei grows up, reaches the legal age of marriage, and really marries Xiao Fan, then the two families are in-laws. It's a much more reliable relationship than a political ally.
This kind of thing often happens in high-level political games.
After Fang Yumei "declared sovereignty". Fang Li and Rao Yuting did not forcibly prohibit her from associating with Xiao Fan, which is also very revealing. Xiao Fan a year ago. Of course, she is definitely not a suitable candidate for the Fang family's east bed, not to mention that Fang Youmei is still young, even if she is an adult, Fang Li Rao Yuting will never agree to her and Xiao Fan's relationship. However, things are always changing, according to Xiao Fan's performance during this time, the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family is really not as distracted by the outside world as rumored by the outside world, and only cares about pursuing the "road of immortality". Dealing with secular relationships is actually exquisite. is very powerful, as if he has become a character, and even Xiao Zhan's attitude towards him has changed a lot.
As long as Xiao Fan is re-recognized by the Xiao family, his status in the wealthy family of Jingshi will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes. As a first-class wealthy family in the Republic, the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, who is valued by the elders of the family, is really extraordinary, and the marriage between the Fang family and the Xiao family is really a bit high.
For example, Wang Shudu, the eldest and youngest of the Wang family, I don't know how many daughters of the family are. Want to marry him.
Fang Li made such a decision, which was expected, not to mention that Xiao Fan and the Xiao family also personally went out to solve problems for him. As long as this problem is successfully solved. It won't be long before Fang Li has a firm foothold in Yanbei, and no one will dare to use similar small means on his head.
However, Huang Dapeng personally invited guests at the Iron Gate Hotel. It was still a little unexpected for Xiao Fan.
I thought that this host should be Fang Li, and choose a cleaner and more low-key place to meet. And that was the end of the story. Who knew that the host turned out to be Huang Dapeng, and the banquet venue was still at the Tiemen Hotel.
The Iron Gate Hotel may not be the most luxurious hotel in the entire city. But it is definitely the most famous hotel.
The history of this hotel is really very long, still in the previous dynasties, the Iron Gate Hotel has been famous, and it is one of the most famous hotels in Beizhili. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was expanded on the old site and renamed the Tiemen Hotel, which has always been the designated hospitality unit of the Yanbei Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and the foreign-related hotel.
In those years, cadres from all over the province came to the province for meetings and business trips, and they were proud to be able to dine at the Tiemen Hotel. Especially those grass-roots cadres with lower positions, if they happen to have dinner at the Tiemen Hotel once in a while, they can talk about it for many years when they go back.
This is ironclad evidence that I have seen the world!
Daben had just stopped in front of the antique foyer of the Tiemen Hotel, and immediately a doorman in uniform came forward and opened the door, and a noble lady in her thirties and a middle-aged man of about the same age stood not far away, looking at Xiao Fan with a smile on their faces.
As soon as Xiao Fan got out of the car, the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stepped forward and said with a smile: "Director Xiao? ”
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Xiao Fan, and said with a smile: "Director Xiao, hello, I am Li Wendao, a staff member of Secretary Huang's office......"
Xiao Fan was stunned.
Co-authored this is Huang Dapeng's secretary.
But I don't know what kind of identity that lady's fancy lady is, just now, Li Wendao didn't seem to be standing side by side with her, and seemed to be slightly behind half a body. In the officialdom, these details are the most particular, and it can be seen that this female comrade, who seems to be two years younger than Li Wendao, has a status higher than Li Wendao.
The noble lady's face was like a full moon, her facial features were upright, and her body was plump, which was a good picture. Xiao Fan's eyes just turned on her face, and he immediately guessed seven or eight points.
Li Wendao quickly led Xiao Fan to this noble lady and introduced with a smile on his face: "Director Xiao, this is Director Zhou, Secretary Huang's lover!" ”
And so it was.
This Director Zhou clearly shows the face of the "Lady of the Command", according to the ancients, her husband must at least be in the second rank of official residence. It's just that Director Zhou is so young, he should be less than forty years old, and compared to Huang Dapeng, he is more than twenty years younger.
As for which unit she is the director, Li Wendao has never introduced it, and Xiao Fan will not "get to the bottom of it"; according to the usual practice, the wives of the leaders of the provincial party committees usually have a relatively idle position to facilitate the care of the leaders' daily life.
However, Director Zhou is young and has a strong desire for power, and it is unknown whether he will serve in key departments.
This is not what Xiao Fan cares about.
Huang Dapeng's lover came to the hotel foyer to greet him in person, and the etiquette was very thoughtful and full of face. With the prestige of the old Xiao family, even in the capital city, there are not many people who dare to snub Xiao Yishao, let alone in the locality, this gold-lettered signboard is shining brighter and brighter.
"Hello, Director Zhou."
Xiao Fan politely owed a debt to the noble lady and greeted him politely. If it is Huang Dapeng's original partner, who is nearly sixty years old, it is not an exaggeration for Xiao Fan to be called "aunt", since it is a steproom, it is so-so.
Director Zhou's eyes were shining, and he had already looked at Xiao Fan's face for a long time, and his eyes were full of surprise. As the wife of the third-in-command of the Yanbei Provincial Party Committee, the children of the wealthy family have also seen a lot, but the eldest grandson of a super wealthy family like the Xiao family is naturally an exception. Wang Shudu and others, who are about the same background as Xiao Fan, are known as the most outstanding children of the third generation of red, and their future prospects are limitless. Unless there is any shocking incident, the whole republic will almost certainly be ruled by those few people in the future.
It's just a pity that I heard that the eldest grandson of the Xiao family is reluctant to develop in the system.
"Director Xiao, hello, hello!"
This kind of surprise and pity will naturally not be shown on his face, Director Zhou took the initiative to stretch out his white and tender plump little hand to Xiao Fan, and returned the salute with a smile.
Director Zhou is really not a taciturn character, and he said polite words one by one, but after talking for a while, he said to Li Wendao with a smile: "Director Li, please accompany Director Xiao in first......
"Haodehaode, Director Xiao, please here!"
Li Wendao led Xiao Fan to the second floor of the hotel, but Director Zhou continued to stay in the lobby, which means that there are other guests coming over, and in the eyes of the host, its importance is not below Xiao Fan, and Huang Dapeng's lover needs to greet him in the lobby in person.
Xiao Fan moved his left hand lightly, and he took a lesson, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and a faint smile flashed, slightly sarcastic.
Despite its reputation, the Iron Gate Hotel is not a high-rise building, on the contrary, the entire hotel is only five floors and has no elevators. Although the hotel has undergone several large-scale renovations, it still has a heavy sense of history, and walking on the glittering black marble staircase, the vicissitudes of time cannot be concealed.
Xiao Fan likes this artistic conception very much.
Li Wendao led Xiao Fan to a large box with a closed door, and before he entered the door, he heard an extremely hearty laugh from inside, which sounded relatively old, but although the laughter was loud, it seemed to be a little breathless. Xiao Fan's brows furrowed inadvertently.
Li Wendao lowered his voice and said, "It's Secretary Huang, and I'm chatting with Secretary Fang......"
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded.
Since it was Huang Dapeng who invited him and Fang Li to accompany him, it was natural that they arrived before him.
The waiter standing at the door was obviously very familiar with Li Wendao, so he walked them over and immediately opened the door.
The box is not too big, it is not a suite, and the decoration of the whole hotel, next to the antique dining table, there are already three people sitting, a tall, square face and big ears, an elderly cadre with a red face, is undoubtedly the host Huang Dapeng this time. Sitting on Huang Dapeng's side was Fang Li, who looked elegant. But what really surprised Xiao Fan was the bright eyes and bright teeth and gorgeous little girl beside Fang Li, who was Fang Youmei. Unexpectedly, at such a banquet, Fang Li also brought his daughter over.
It's just that the little girl at this moment is sitting beside Fang Li in a regular manner, touching her knees with her hands, her small chest is raised high, her face is smiling, and she is as ladylike as she wants to be a lady.
This is the demeanor of the eldest lady of the Fang family.
As soon as Xiao Fan entered the door, Fang Youmei's two clear and bright eyes shot straight over, shining, looking indescribably excited and excited, and slightly shy.
Maybe the little girl remembered the scene before Xiao Fan left the villa last night.
At that time, I mustered up the courage to kiss Xiao Fan, and when I returned home, my heart and liver were beating hard and wild for most of the night before I finally calmed down. (To be continued......)
