Chapter 33: The Old Reunion
The dispatch of Zhong Shan, a reporter from the Ministry of Finance and Trade, to Antai City to serve as the head of the preparatory group for the Antai Reporter Station of Qingshan Daily, was discussed and approved at the editorial board meeting on Thursday afternoon. On Friday morning, an internal newsletter on this personnel change was sent to all departments.
Early in the morning, Wang Xueli came to the Ministry of Finance and Trade, and when he saw that Zhong Shan was alone, he sat down and said happily: "Fifth brother is right, gold will shine wherever it is, and the future of our newspaper depends on your seventh brother!" Your fifth brother is the little rabbit on the night of August 15, borrowing light from the moon! By the way, on Saturday night, I arranged for the five of us to celebrate. ”
According to the decision of the editorial board, Zhong Shan will use these two days to do a handover of work, and next Monday he will contact Antai City to study matters related to the establishment of a reporter station. Mr. Meng asked Zhong Shan to contact him in advance, and he would personally send Zhong Shan to Antai City next Monday.
Zhongshan's financial film was first managed by director Liu Quanquan, and reporters from the reporting department took turns to undertake it, and a group of new university graduates were about to work in the newspaper, and it was a female student who was assigned to the finance and trade department. On Saturday morning, Zhong Shan called the Propaganda Department of the Antai Municipal Party Committee again and made an appointment for the specific time for President Meng to meet with the main leaders of Antai City next Monday.
When I was done, I looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was already 11 o'clock. At this time, the phone on the table rang, and when it was answered, it was Wang Xueli, who said on the phone: "Don't eat in the canteen at noon, I will invite everyone to eat at the food for the day in the evening, and the woolen mill will arrange it. In the afternoon, the five brothers can come out early and dance. You said that there are seven brothers, the eldest left early, the fourth brother went to the south, and you have to go to Antai again, and the brothers will no longer get together as much as before. ”
Zhong Shan wanted to use the afternoon to ponder the specific matters of building a reporter station, but he couldn't refute the fifth brother's good intentions, so he had to accept it.
The two went downstairs, Wang Xueli stopped a taxi, opened the front door first and sat in the co-pilot's seat, obviously rushing to pay.
In the car, Wang Xueli said: "Today I brought you an old friend, I met during the interview yesterday, people said that they have been paying attention to you, and everyone has read every manuscript in your newspaper carefully, and it is better than a novel, which is not counted, and it is also cut out as a teaching material for writing press releases by yourself." ”
Zhong Shan said: "Old Five, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" ”
Wang Xueli turned around and said with an obscene expression: "*! You can eat once and think twice, eat twice and think three times. ”
Lao Wu has always been not serious in his speech, and Zhong Shan naturally does not take it seriously.
The two came to Shiweitian, went up to the second floor, and walked into the "Narcissus Hall", where Xu Meiling, the publicity officer of the smelting and construction company, was actually sitting. This time, instead of a dark blue overalls, she wore a black red floral long-sleeved corseted rayon dress, which was full of femininity.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Xu Meiling hurriedly stood up and said, "Reporter Zhongda, I haven't seen you for several years, I heard that you have been promoted!" ”
Zhong Shan said: "Where is the promotion, that is, the editor-in-chief saw that I was young and asked me to carry more work." ”
The three of them sat down, and the pre-ordered four dishes and one soup also came up one after another. Wang Xueli asked for eight bottles of beer, two bottles in front of each of the three people, and the other two bottles were put aside.
Xu Meiling hurriedly said: "I won't drink, at most one glass." ”
Wang Xueli said: "Then you have to find a helper yourself, I think your idol will do it for you!" ”
Xu Meiling hurriedly moved the wine in front of Zhong Shan, Zhong Shan was in a hurry to push it out, and the hands of the two inadvertently touched each other, both of them were a little embarrassed.
Wang Xueli said: "Don't be modest, you two should be humble, first pour on and do one, for a farewell for three years to meet again today, for the people you miss to finally meet." ”
Zhong Shan said, "Xueli, you don't drink it, it's high", seeing that Xu Meiling had already poured wine into the cups of the two, which meant that in response to the initiative of the fifth child, she had to pick up the cup, hit it lightly, and did it together.
At this time, Li Yutian, who often brought the fifth child to dinner, pushed the door in, sat next to the fifth child and said: "I just rushed to the kindergarten when the children in the kindergarten went to sleep, and I asked the director for leave in the afternoon to dance with you." ”
After a few years of getting along, Zhong Shan knew that his six wives in the family had a heterosexual partner on the wine and dance grounds, this Li Yutian was the teacher of Wang Xueli's son's kindergarten, and the brothers all said, if your son goes to college, do you still want to develop a professor girlfriend? Now that his son is in the second grade of primary school, the two still maintain close contact.
Every time Zhong Shan came alone for dinner, the brothers joked: "A few sisters-in-law, hurry up and find a girlfriend for the seventh brother." Seeing that Zhong Shan just smiled and didn't respond, he just said it as a joke and passed. This time, the fifth child brought Xu Meiling for a very obvious purpose, which is to develop her as Zhongshan's special female companion. The "two mes" in Zhong Shan's mind jumped out to fight again, and after three bottles of wine, the originally weak "little me" actually began to gain the upper hand.
In the afternoon, Wang Xueli, Li Yutian, Zhong Shan, and Xu Meiling came to the dance hall with a slight sense of wine. Under the dim light, Xu Meiling, who was in Zhong Shan's arms, transformed into Du Fangfei, a college classmate who died of incense, Fang Jing for a while, Wang Danyu and Xue Manni for a while, and returned to the night spent on the same boat for a while...... He hugged her tighter, and on her neck and chin, you could feel the thin warm breath she exhaled.
