At five o'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, Meng Dongran had just come over from Xie Huamin's side, and Huang Guomin called him.

"Director, there's no entertainment in the afternoon, you have to participate in a dinner, I can't handle it." Huang Guomin's voice sounded wilting.

"What kind of dinner can stump your yellow game, and it's not a Hongmen banquet." Meng Dongran said with a smile. Just now, Xie Huamin insisted on leaving him to eat, saying that the president of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was here, and he had to borrow his face to give Guanghua a face. Meng Dongran really wanted to stay, it was a beautiful thing to have dinner with Xie Huamin, and this feeling has been particularly strong recently; Moreover, Governor Wang of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is also an old acquaintance, and his help is indispensable to survive this financial crisis, and Meng Dongran also wants to take the opportunity to hype up the relationship with Governor Wang again. But today is the wedding anniversary of him and Ye Xiaotang, what kind of marriage Meng Dongran has been married for thirteen years, but this festival has to be celebrated. Ye Xiaotang reminded him in the morning, and made two phone calls in a row at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and Meng Dongran came back in a hurry to get a gift. The celebration banquet was booked at the Blue Harbor Western Restaurant, Li Kaiwang ordered it, and the gift was also bought by Li Kaiwang and his cousin Lin Miyun, who was a counselor in the Chinese painting department, and Li Kaiwang went to help him buy roses.

Even though he is an old husband and wife, he still has to make enough preparations, who made Ye Xiaotang like this.

"It's similar to the Hongmen banquet, director, the dinner is arranged by the rules of the big secretary, and the guest is Li Shanwu and Mr. Li of the Iron Fourth Bureau." Huang Guomin didn't care whether Meng Dongran liked to listen to it or not, he just complained on the phone.

"Li Shanwu? Arranged by Secretary No. 1? Meng Dongran's hand holding the gift paused, feeling that his mind had been electrocuted somewhere.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Mr. Li, how dare I alarm your director." Huang Guomin sounds polite, but in fact he is helpless. Li Shanwu, a wealthy boss, is really not accompanied by him Huang Guomin.

Meng Dongran was wondering in his heart, why didn't anyone greet him when Li Shanwu came to Tongjiang? The landline on the table rang, grabbed it and listened to it, it was the voice of the No. 1 secretary Guo Code: "I said boss, where are you hiding, the mobile phone is being bullied, you can't get in, I'm about to let the public security search for you." Meng Dongran said to Huang Guomin: "Hang up first, and I'll call you later." Then he turned into the other microphone: "Secretary No. 1, why are you so urgent?" ”

"What other instructions, Mr. Li is here, he arrived in the afternoon, the boss is not there, I can only let me accompany you, I will let Dongzi pick you up, the car will go downstairs immediately, don't bring a tow bucket, there are many tow buckets here." After speaking, Guo Code hung up the phone, and he could hear that there was a noisy voice on his side, and he must have sat with Li Shanwu and them.

Li Shanwu is the newly appointed general manager of China Railway Fourth Bureau No. 6 Company, and previously served as deputy general manager of No. 5 Company. Meng Dongran met with this person, it was Li Shanwu who took his subordinates to Tongjiang to worship the wharf when he first took office, the leaders of the four major teams in Tongjiang were present, Zhao Naizin presided over the welcome ceremony, and Pan Xiangming delivered a welcome speech on behalf of the municipal party committee and city, which was very grand. Li Shanwu is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, younger than Meng Dongran, very big, and powerful. I heard that his father-in-law is the chief engineer of China Railway Fourth Bureau, the kind of person with a bit of background. However, Meng Dongran doesn't like this person very much, he is too strong, too flamboyant, aggressive, and his gestures are all in the style of a central enterprise. Whether you like it or not has nothing to do with work, people are not appointed by you, they are guests on your territory, and you have to show a pious attitude to greet people.

Meng Dongran hesitated for a while, Xie Huamin can excuse himself there, but not here, Li Shanwu must have come to Liutong Highway this time, there is no doubt about this, but he may not say it explicitly. Pan Xiangming went to the province for a meeting two days ago, and greeted him when he left, if someone from the Iron Fourth Bureau came, he must be entertained, but he didn't think it would really come, it was not a coincidence. What Meng Dongran was difficult to do was how to tell Ye Xiaotang, Ye Xiaotang might have arrived at the Blue Harbor and was waiting to receive his flowers.

Thinking about it, Meng Dongran still decided to focus on work, embarrassed to explain to Ye Xiaotang on the phone, and sent a text message, saying I'm really sorry for my wife, there are guests in the city, I must accompany you, okay?

The text message quickly came back, and Ye Xiaotang's tone was very impulsive: Meng Dongran, do you even want Li Kaiwang to accompany you when you go to bed?

Meng Dong almost smashed the phone, why didn't Ye Xiaotang understand him, if he could push it away, could he let Li Kai look at it awkwardly? Angry, Ye Xiaotang had to try his best to appease, he called Li Kaiwang, and after saying so, Li Kaiwang was a little embarrassed and said: "Director, I'll go now, I hope Teacher Ye won't get angry at me." ”

"No, explain a few more words to her on my behalf, by the way, it's best to call your cousin too, if they have something to say together, you won't be too embarrassed."

Li Kaiwang snorted and hurriedly went to his life. Meng Dongran put the gift back in its place and went downstairs alone, and sure enough, he saw Pan Xiangming's special car waiting downstairs, and the driver Zuo Dong waved at him while listening to music.

The reception banquet is located in the luxury private room on the twelfth floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is the place where the mayor secretary usually likes to come, and it is naturally the favorite place of the No. 1 secretary on both sides, the grade is second, the key is that the secretaries are very free here, just like entertaining guests in their own homes, they can also take it as much as they like after eating and drinking, it is said that every year the No. 1 secretary on both sides takes it away, which is enough for a unit with less real power to spend a year on the total amount of hospitality. The preference for the floor is different on both sides of the No. 1 secretary, Xu Liang is the same as Zhao Naizin, he likes to be on the tenth floor, and Guo Code is the same as Pan Xiangming, he likes the higher twelfth floor. Of course, the twelfth floor luxury bag is two grades higher than the tenth floor luxury bag regardless of the decoration or the service inside, and the consumption is naturally not low.

Li Shanwu brought seven, three men and four women, plus he was exactly eight people and four pairs, one was his vice president, two were project managers, and the four ladies each had their own positions, either accountants or statisticians, one of them seemed to be a general manager, Meng Dongran didn't hear clearly, the scene was really lively, he was surrounded by enthusiasm as soon as he entered, and shook hands with each other in a row. The central enterprise is the central enterprise, and the ladies have a generosity when they shake hands, and they are even more thunderous and electric when they speak. On the Tongjiang side, in addition to the No. 1 secretary Guo Code and the director of the highway bureau Huang Guomin, Hu Xueqian, deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee and director of the office, also came, looking polite. Guo Code also called several leaders of the municipal party committee compound, Meng Dongran didn't expect that Hu Yue was also here.

The moment he held Hu Yue's hand, Meng Dongran was a little uncomfortable. "Is your dad better?" He asked. Hu Yue's lips moved: "It's still the same, it is estimated that it will not get better, and the person is still in the hospital." Meng Dongran sighed, let go of Hu Yue's hand, and was about to say hello to Zhu Xiangyu, director of the External Publicity Office, who was sitting next to her, Hu Yue said: "Thank you Director Meng for your concern, I will toast you later, and express the hearts of our mother and daughter." Meng Dongran hurriedly said goodbye. Guo Code is not satisfied: "What do you do with holding the hands of beautiful women, there are so many beauties today, can your director catch them?" A beautiful woman surnamed Dong on Li Shanwu's side said: "Director Meng really deserves his reputation, and I will toast six large cups later." Huang Guomin gave him a look, Meng Dongran didn't answer the woman's tone, and found a seat to sit down.

After the guests of honor were in place, he grabbed his glass and said: "The secretary is not here, today I borrow the treasure land of Junyue to give the leaders of the central enterprises a pick-up, welcome the central enterprises to support our local construction, and also welcome the four beauties from the central government, I made this cup first, and then, this play will be sung by our Director Meng." ”

His eyes were all on Meng Dongran's face, Meng Dongran secretly hated Guo Code for pushing him to the front desk, he hadn't entered the state yet, this kind of scene with many people and mixed faces, he was a little unnatural to deal with. Fortunately, Li Shanwu quickly raised his glass and said: "Secretary Guo is too polite, what kind of central enterprise, everyone is a friend, all for a goal." The relationship between the Iron Fourth Bureau and Tongjiang has not been a day or two, and the feelings are very deep. I'll make a toast, thank you in advance, and let the four beauties of us take a turn to toast the leaders and deepen the impression. As he spoke, his eyes swept over Meng Dongran's face, and Meng Dongran pretended to drink water and blocked Li Shanwu's gaze with his arm. Since entering the door, he has been thinking about a question, Secretary Xiang Ming's delay in explaining the truth, will it be related to Li Shanwu?

This wine was in full swing, Meng Dongran really didn't expect that the four female generals brought by Li Shanwu could drink so much, Hu Yue was not convinced, and wanted to compare, but who was the opponent? Those female generals didn't want to compete with Hu Yue, they obviously didn't take Hu Yue seriously, and they wanted to take down Meng Dongran, take turns to fight, and change their tricks to pay him respect. Meng Dongran was worried about Ye Xiaotang in his heart, and he didn't dare to drink more, Huang Guomin helped him out of the siege again and again, and he did a lot. provoked the dissatisfaction of several female generals, and turned to attack Huang Guomin. Huang Guomin is naturally not afraid, he is ** lake, and the scene that is several times larger than this has also passed, and he rarely loses to others in wine. Later, Hu Xueqian, who was polite and polite, also made a move, and fought side by side with Zhu Xiangyu to suppress the opponent's momentum.

During the drinking, Meng Dongran found two interesting things, diorama-like, one is Hu Yue's stickiness to Guo Code, which makes people fresh. Hu Yue seems to be Guo Code's full-time bodyguard today, as long as Guo Codex loses wine, those little hands immediately reach over, and without waiting for Guo Codex to express his position, he rushes to pour it into his mouth. Guo Code's water cup was not the turn of the service lady to wait, and as soon as the tea was shallow, Hu Yue got up and added water to Guo Code. The female generals on the other side are also bad, seeing that Hu Yue is so attentive to Guo Code, she handed a cup to Guo Code's side with bad intentions, whether it is Guo Code's wine or not, let Guo Codex act on her behalf. Guo Code understood, but he couldn't stop Hu Yue's hand, but before halftime, Hu Yue was so drunk that his face was red, and he walked staggeringly, and he was drunk. Next, Hu Yue was a little ugly, and twice tilted her head to Guo Code's arm, which was a bit ambiguous about a bird, but Hu Yue was obviously not a bird, she was a few years older than Guo Code, and she obviously couldn't resist alcohol. Meng Dongran looked at it with admiration at first, but later felt that Hu Yue was a little cheap, and women were so cheap that they were afraid that they were close to the official.

Thinking of what Pan Xiangming said to him not long ago, and then looking at Guo Code's appearance that he didn't take Hu Yue seriously, Meng Dongran realized that Hu Yue was "dedicating" himself to his future, and a sense of desolation arose, a woman threw her father into the hospital, and ran to replace the secretary with a white face, I don't know whether to call it tragic or helpless?

The other is a beautiful woman surnamed Dong and Li Shanwu, these two people are really enough to figure out, at first Meng Dongran thought of the two of them on that layer, they always don't forget to touch them with their eyes when they talk and do things, as if they are looking for some sense. Especially the woman named Dong Yue, the pair of eyeballs always dripping on Li Shanwu's face, which made Meng Dongran uncomfortable. Later, Meng Dongran found that it was not what he thought, the eyes of these two people couldn't touch any fire, unlike the ambiguous men and women who caught fire when they touched, the wind and moon were boundless, and the affection was endless. There seemed to be no love between them, and then Meng Dongran found out that Li Shanwu took special care of this woman, and also carried respect that others couldn't understand, it seemed that the smile on Dong Yue's face could be scaled to what extent it was very important to him.

Who is she, how can she make a man like Li Shanwu uneasy? Meng Dongran thought blindly for a while, but couldn't find an answer. Later, in the eyes of the No. 1 secretary Guo Code, Meng Dongran read a little content. Although Guo Code pretended to be very old-fashioned, he didn't want to show his mountain or dew, but whenever Dong Yue toasted others, Guo Code always couldn't help but show worry, for fear that Dong Yue would be bumped into or treated impolitely. Fortunately, the people at today's table, intentionally or unintentionally, have given Dong Yue enough face, including him.

Who is this woman, she is by no means Li Shanwu's subordinate, nor is she from the Iron Fourth Bureau, Meng Dongran's judgment is still there. In the middle, Guo Code went out to answer the phone, Meng Dongran pretended to go to the bathroom and went out, and just after Guo Code finished answering the phone, he asked, "Which play are you playing?" ”

Guo Code was panicked: "No, I was ordered to entertain them, what's wrong with the leader, it's uncomfortable to accompany you?" ”

"You kid dare to play dumb riddles with me, be careful to give your wife a playbook."

"Don't, don't, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"I'm afraid that it's a bird thing, and say, who is the guest of honor today?"

"Li Dacang, you don't accompany anyone when he comes, anyway, I am also acting on orders, whether it is good to accompany you is a matter of your director, I will blame you in the future, and I will sell you as soon as possible."

"Dare!"

The two of them are outside, and they are a little presumptuous when they speak, Guo Code does not call Li Shanwu the boss, and calls him the nickname Li Cannon, which is said to have two meanings: one is that Li Shanwu is very good in the Iron Fourth Bureau, and Lao Chong's leaders and colleagues fire cannons, and they don't put anyone in their eyes; On the other floor, there was a bit of that, and it was the wind released by a few female colleagues around him, saying this guy, this guy......

Guo Code was afraid that Meng Dongran would ask again, so he couldn't slow off the guests, so he kept urging Meng Dongran: "Go in, go in, I'm afraid of making a fuss when my head is knocked over, and I'll end up after a while, this kind of wine makes my throat hurt, I can't swallow it." "It seems that he is also in pain, and it is very awkward.

Meng Dongran stared at him silently for a while, suppressed the mystery in his heart, and when he went in again, he began to study the woman surnamed Dong.

Huang Guomin was also confused, on the way home after drinking and sending off the guests, Huang Guomin nagged vigorously, this wine is weird today, I always feel that something is wrong? Meng Dongran said that something was wrong, Huang Guomin thought about it, and there was nothing wrong up and down. The car drove for a while, and Huang Guomin suddenly said: "By the way, I remembered, Dong Yue is not from the Iron Fourth Bureau, but from the ......" glanced at the driver, swallowed the second half of the sentence in a daze, grabbed Meng Dongran's hand, and wrote the word "Pan" in the palm of his hand.

Meng Dongran's premonition was confirmed!

It was past twelve o'clock in the night when I got home, and there was no shadow of Ye Xiaotang at home, Meng Dongran made himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa and thought for a while. The Pan character that Huang Guomin wrote on his palm just now made his heart messy, he had to sort it out, and after sorting it out, he suddenly thought, why didn't Ye Xiaotang come back so late? Take out the phone and call, the phone is turned off, this is weird, how to turn it off?

Meng Dongran called Li Kaiwang again, and Li Kaiwang said: "Teacher Ye hasn't gone back yet, it's impossible, we will be separated before nine o'clock." ”

"What's going on?" Meng Dongran's tone was heavy.

"Yes...... Is it ......" Li Kaiwang refused to continue, Meng Dong ignited the fire, and said in a hard voice: "What the hell is going on?!" ”

Li Kaiwang couldn't hide it, and said stubbornly: "You didn't go, Mr. Ye got angry and almost smashed the western restaurant, and later, later, later, ......"

"What happened later, say!"

"Later, she called someone and said to eat somewhere else."

"What's her name, Dink?"

"No, it's from Miyun Academy, it's called ...... It's called Mango. ”

"How old?"

"In your twenties, I asked Mi Yun, but Mi Yun refused to say more, only saying that she was a junior in their department. By the way, Mango is from Yunnan. Director, don't be angry yet, I'll contact Miyun. ”

"Messy Piano!"
