[17] Prom

Xiaoqiang walked to Yu Feng's door, hesitated and knocked lightly on the door,

"Who?"

"I, Cao Xiaoqiang."

"Come in"

Xiaoqiang pushed the door in, and saw Yu Feng leaning against the square table under the living room window reading a book.

"Doctor Yu, what kind of book is so attractive?"

Yu Feng didn't get up either, still looking at the book and said, "Clinical Medicine." ”

Xiao Qiang said curtly: "There is a dance party in the secretariat tonight, are you interested in going with me?" ”

Yu Feng turned his head to stare at Xiao Qiang, and said slowly, "Are you inviting me?" ”

Xiaoqiang admitted a little embarrassedly: "I invite you very sincerely, I think it's boring for you to stay at home like this, it's better for everyone to go and relax together." ”

Yu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'm not bored when I read books, I'm just panicking, and I don't have anything else to do every day except to check your body." Do you know that I am particularly envious of my colleagues who are saving lives in the hospital, they are busy from morning to night every day, although they are tired, but I can see that their eyes are shining with pride. Saying that, Yu Feng lowered his head, a little lost.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make your dream come true." Xiaoqiang felt guilty.

Yu Feng sneered, flashed his big eyes and said, "Lie to you, I'm so idle, others still envy me." I'll accompany you to the ball in the evening, and I'll see what your secretariat's ball looks like. ”

Seeing this beauty smiling, Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a little stupid, and said with a smirk: "Then it's decided, let's go together after dinner in the evening." Then he turned around and withdrew.

At this time, Dongzi came back with four thermoses, and after the four rooms were put away, Xiaoqiang drove Dongzi to Xidan again, and spent 32 yuan in Rongfusheng to buy a large eight-treasure lacquerware food box with gold wire, a rectangular black lacquered wooden box, with gold wire pinched out of a fan pattern, the fan was painted with a picture of a lady, and the lid was opened, which was divided into eight areas, and it was the most suitable to put snacks. In the old days, it was all utensils from the house of the prince or rich man, and snacks were put on for people to use. This guy is basically not seen in the next generation, but he is only in the Pan family, and he is sold as an antique.

After buying it and going home, Xiaoqiang unpacked all the snacks left in his house and put them in, Oreo biscuits, Want Want snow cakes, Dove chocolates, and Shanghaojia potato chips, which just filled the big eight-treasure food box. He handed the package to Dongzi and told him to take it out and burn it. Xiao Qiang rushed to Yu Feng to offer treasure.

Knocking on the door, Xiao Qiang put the food box on the table in the living room of Yu Feng's outhouse, and said: "Today, I was transferred from the Intelligence Department to the Secretariat to work, and when I left, the Intelligence Department sent out some snacks, I don't like to eat them, you can take them and eat them." After speaking, Xiaoqiang didn't wait for Yu Feng to agree, turned his head and walked out.

Seeing Xiaoqiang leaving, Yu Feng picked up the food box and wanted to chase it out, but hesitated again, put down the food box, and opened the lid. Looking at the novelty dim sum inside, Yu Feng had never seen and eaten it, and he was suddenly a little reluctant to take it back and return it. "Didn't he say he didn't like snacks." Yu Feng comforted herself, "I'll be a full-time doctor for him, don't eat a few snacks from him." While thinking about it contradictoryly, I couldn't help but pick up a piece of snow cake that looked very tempting and bit it.

Zhongnanhai Juren Hall, located on the west bank of Zhonghai in Xiyuan, is a two-storey Western-style building, is the largest building in Zhongnanhaili, the whole building in Baroque style and the auxiliary decoration of the exterior have obvious stylistic differences with the surrounding buildings, and the interior is furnished with the grace of Europeanization. Cixi, Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang, and Li Zongren were all once the masters here.

The large conference room in the building has been simply decorated into a ballroom, with sofas lining the door and wall, and a long table in the corner with a few dishes of homemade baked soda biscuits and some very small wine glasses on it. The large vertical gramophone on the wall played Soviet dance music, and the atmosphere of the dance party was very warm under the unique texture of vinyl records.

When Xiaoqiang and Yu Feng drove to the airport after dinner, it was already half past seven in the evening, and the dance party had already begun. Xiao Qiang's eyes were black, he didn't know anyone, but his gossip heart was burning hot, and he wanted to see the legendary Zhongnanhai Ball. At this moment, a man in his early forties with extraordinary appearance walked towards Xiaoqiang, he was wearing a gray Kaji cloth tunic, and his two thick eyebrows were lying straight on a pair of bright double eyelids. He walked up to Xiaoqiang and stretched out his hand and said: "Hello Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, I am Yang * Shangkun, before I came today, the chairman specially instructed me to study hard with you. ”

The sweat on Xiaoqiang's brain, Secretary Yang! Deputy Secretary-General of the CPC Central Committee, Director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, his own immediate boss, learn from himself? This is what kind of play is going to be played. Hurriedly shook hands with him and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, thank the chief for his wrong love, and I dare not be ashamed." I am young, I don't know too many things, and I am not familiar with many situations, so I need more criticism and guidance from the leaders in my future work to help me improve. ”

Secretary Yang (Yang Shangkun is also the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee) saw Xiaoqiang's modest and polite speech, and smiled happily: "I believe in the chairman's vision, and the person the chairman likes will not be wrong!" We learn from each other and help each other. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can raise them, and I, the secretary, will serve you. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Yu Feng: "This girl is amazing, she is beautiful and has nothing to say, she is the dance partner you brought Xiao Cao." ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly introduced, "This is Dr. Yu Fengyu." He didn't dare to say that this was his personal doctor, God knows if Secretary Yang has a personal doctor, what level and age he is, if he talks about having a personal doctor, he will not be criticized.

"Hello chief." Yu Feng was only a military hospital doctor before, and he didn't know what Yang * Shangkun's position was and what he should call him, but he just followed Xiaoqiang to call the chief.

"Hello." Saying that, Secretary Yang shook hands with Yu Feng, looked at Xiao Qiang meaningfully, and said, "Xiao Cao has a vision, it's amazing to find a girlfriend." Good doctors, being a people's doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded is the noblest profession. ”

So under the introduction of Secretary Yang, Xiaoqiang got acquainted with many colleagues one by one. I learned that most of the colleagues present today have never been married, because the workload of the secretariat is too large, and often many comrades do not have time to deal with objects, so the Zhongnanhai Dance also has a mission, which is to play the role of matchmakers, so that these secretaries who are buried in state secret documents all day long have the opportunity to contact the opposite sex, fall in love and even get married. Those who got married and brought their wives were all old comrades who came to warm up.

Of course, the women who were invited to the ball today are all single, and they include the actresses of the art troupe, the staff of the organs directly under the central government, and the female companions they brought themselves. Many girls are peeking at these weak secretaries, although these secretaries are all full of anger, at least half of them wear highly myopic glasses, and they can't help but look weak, but for these girls, they are very popular.

In today's words, these junior buddies are fighters among senior civil servants. In this era, if you can marry a secretary of the Central Secretariat, you will be able to become a family member of an organ cadre in one step, and you will be able to live in the compound of the organ under the Central Committee. Accept the envious gaze of your friends.

Although people in this era are relatively simple, and some girls do not think so much, most of the single women who received the invitation were full of joy, dressed up carefully, and brought three or two fashionable female companions to come together. At this time, the dress is also simple, although it is carefully dressed, but it is nothing more than a bow or a beautiful headband, pour some hair oil, comb and comb the hair, put on the latest clean old clothes, can wear a new clothes to be proud.

Some girls have been to such a dance party more than once, they are experienced, and when they saw Secretary Yang personally introducing Xiaoqiang, they couldn't help but feel a little hot, and in private conversations, some people asked each other about Xiaoqiang's identity.

Xiao Qiang's appearance is not outstanding, on his slightly chubby round face, his eyebrows are still three points heroic, and his height of 1.73 meters is not outstanding. But the calm and calm demeanor in the gestures is also very appreciated by everyone.

This is not because Xiaoqiang pretended to be calm, but because he has even seen the level of chairman and prime minister a few times, and after a few conversations, he really faced the biggest big scene and the biggest big man in the world. He learned a lot from these great men, and he didn't dare to say that he imitated the leader, but in short, his inferiority complex was greatly reduced, and he was quite calm when he saw the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and he was not shocked.

In the sound of music, the invited girls happily danced with their dance partners, and those who were not invited sat on the sofa and chatted and talked in twos and threes.

Yu Fengyujian was an acquaintance, a female classmate of the medical university, and the two chatted eagerly about the current situation. Xiao Qiang saw that they were chatting hotly, so he had to stand far away, looking at the dance floor in a daze.

"Hello, could you please dance?" At this time, a female voice as soft as water sounded in Xiaoqiang's ears.
