Meng Dongran's worry was not wrong, at ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Meng Dongran was talking to Huang Guomin, the director of the Highway Bureau, behind closed doors, Xu Liang, the No. 1 secretary here, knocked on the door and came in, and when he saw that Huang Guomin was also there, the expression on Xu Liang's face moved, and he said in a low voice: "Director Meng, the mayor invites you to go." ”

The mayor's secretary came to the office in person to invite, this is the first time, Xu Liang called him before, it was all a phone, either directly to him, or to the office director Li Kaiwang. Meng Dongran sighed in his heart, it must not be a good thing. Sure enough, when he went upstairs with Xu Liang, Xu Liang whispered: "It's troublesome, the person surnamed Chu has been in for an hour." ”

"He's here so early?" Meng Dongran was taken aback, he thought that Chu Jianfei was still sleeping in the hotel this time.

"He came early in the morning, and I deliberately delayed a little time to get some secrets out of his mouth. Director Meng is so drunk, I heard that the three women were all sent to the hospital early in the morning. ”

"No dead, right?" Meng Dongran asked instinctively. In the past, when he was the head of Tongba District, there was a big mistake, the vice president of the provincial development bank brought a group of people to his territory, and the reception was too enthusiastic, and as a result, everyone was drunk. One of them, a woman in her 40s, was the director of the development bank, who was hospitalized when she returned to the provincial capital, and suddenly left two days later. The immediate cause of death was excessive drinking, but fortunately, the vice president had a clever brain and sealed the mouth of the hospital in time, ending with a heart attack, otherwise, the wine would have buried all their black hats.

"The dead won't, but they also have to be injected for two days, I suspect that this is the carving insect skill of the envoy surnamed Chu, you have a number in your heart, and you will panic when the time comes."

After being reminded by Secretary Xu, Meng Dongran had a bottom in his heart, and the trick surnamed Chu was too damaging, so he took three girls to blackmail him! He glanced at Secretary Xu gratefully: "Thank you, Secretary No. 1, if you don't remind me, I will really mess up." ”

"Yes, we don't talk about this between us." Secretary Xu said, and at the same time nodded at the deputy director of the personnel bureau who came over. As soon as the deputy director of the Personnel Bureau walked away, Secretary Xu said again: "I won't go in later, my heart is lively, and the boss is angry." ”

When I entered Zhao Naizin's office, I saw two black faces, Zhao Naizin was sitting behind the table, his face was pale, and his expression was almost terrifying. Chu Jianfei sat on the sofa opposite, like a master who came to collect debts. Meng Dongran nodded at Zhao Naizin and turned to Chu Jianfei: "How is it, how are you resting?" ”

"I'm not dead, thank you Director Meng."

"Hehe, I drank a little too much last night, and I didn't sleep all night." Meng Dongran snorted, picked up Chu Jianfei's cup, refilled it for him, and looked at Zhao Naizin's face again with an uneasy look. Zhao Naizin's face was expressionless, staring at a painting on the wall in a daze.

Meng Dongran's heart was empty, and the hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"How about drinking today, I'll have a banquet at noon, and I'll invite Master Liu?" Chu Jianfei said provocatively while taking the cup.

"Don't dare, don't dare, my small body, how can I fight with you Chairman Chu." Meng Dongran smiled and said in a tone of apology.

"Aren't you able to drink, do you want me to set a table and enjoy it for you?!" Zhao Naizin, who was sitting behind him, said suddenly.

Meng Dongran's body froze, and the smile that was still piled up on his face just now couldn't be taken back, and the paraffin wax was generally fixed there, and he didn't dare to move.

"Okay, Director Meng, Boss Chu finally came here, I'm busy, let you pick up the wind for me, it's good for you, you called a lot of people in a mess, is there a shortage of wine in our city?"

Meng Dongran can't say anything if he doesn't turn around, turning his back on the leader is disrespecting the leader, and he must be respectful when he is criticized. Turning around with great difficulty, his hands hung down in an orderly manner, hanging down into a landscape, for Chu Jianfei on the sofa to see. After receiving a few more reprimands, Meng Dongran raised his head boldly, wanting to find a hint or warmth from Zhao Naizin, his eyes fluttered, Zhao Naizin's anger was real, and Meng Dongran's heart couldn't be darker.

He has tasted a lot of the taste of suffering for others, I remember that Zhao Naizin took him to the provincial capital in order to take off the word "generation" on his head, he waited downstairs under the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for three hours, it was a cold winter, so cold that he was unconscious in both legs, and Sun Guofeng, who went with him, scolded him, what is the head of this broken official, he is more horse than Ma Zai. The next day, he accompanied the director of the third division of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to drink, he was poured twelve cups in a row, his eyes were full of gold stars, he went into the women's bathroom, and vomited it with a wow, so shocked that a fat woman of about fifty lifted his pants and scolded him for being a stinky hooligan, if it wasn't for Sun Guofeng coming in time and taking out 2,000 yuan to make a shame fee for the fat woman, I am afraid that he would have to follow the fat woman to see the public security that time.

Who said that there are no jokes in officialdom, and the jokes made by people in officialdom are often super jokes. According to Sun Guofeng, they sit like a Buddha on the stage, look like monks in the office, look like thieves in private, and become bandits when they see interests. If you see a beautiful woman, it will be different.

Zhao Naizin was angry again, and said: "Boss Chu's three colleagues are still in the hospital, you go to the hospital immediately, you know what to do." Also, stay away from that Liu Dagongzi in the future, you are the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, not the boss of the rivers and lakes! ”

This last sentence was clearly said to Chu Jianfei. The expression on Meng Dongran's face relaxed, and he said sincerely: "I'll go right away, and I will take care of the hospital." ”

Only then did Zhao Naizin turn to Chu Jianfei: "Jianfei, don't be angry, Dong Ran has really been out of shape recently, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a move." Take care of your three subordinates first, and then talk about the rest, how about it? ”

Chu Jianfei saw enough of Meng Dongran's pitiful appearance, and then put on a posture of letting Meng Dongran go: "Your mayor said, what else can I do." Yes, you don't have to go to the hospital, how dare Director Meng take over. It seems that Tongjiang is not welcome to me, and I will go back today, so as not to cause trouble to the two leaders. ”

"Don't don't, don't be, a drink hurts the harmony, so what's the point? Yesterday I was too busy, the big boss arranged the work, and I have to ask Boss Chu to sit down today, so let's let Dongran continue to accompany you at noon, and I will arrange it in the afternoon. You can live in peace, when you are comfortable, when you will come back, okay? Zhao Naizin walked over and grabbed Chu Jianfei's hand very enthusiastically and said. At the same time, his eyes motioned to Meng Dongran, don't stand there stupidly. Meng Dongran made a humble look, and said stubbornly: "If Mr. Chu goes back like this, I, Meng Dongran, will be sick in my heart, give me a face, stay for a few more days, and reminisce about the past." ”

Chu Jianfei furrowed his eyebrows, and said unfamiliarly: "We still have old feelings to talk about?" ”

A darkness slipped through Zhao Naizin's eyes, and the expression on his face was not so hot, but his words were still polite: "Boss Chu said so, but it is not appropriate to take my face." Meng Dongran could only be silent at this time. Chu Jianfei is the kind of person who is close to shamelessness, and as soon as he heard that Zhao Naizin's words were wrong, he immediately changed his tone: "I'm a man with no mouth, I'm used to talking nonsense, don't care about it, mayor." Since the two of you are so gracious, then I will stay, but you can't dislike me. ”

"How dare you!" Zhao Naizin replied with emotion.

In the next two days, Meng Dongran had no choice but to fly around Chu Jian. Being an official is not majestic at every moment, you are in front of your subordinates, how to put on a score, you are still uncomfortable if you don't put on a score. Once you get to the boss, you are what your subordinates are, and sometimes you are more pitiful than them. That's it, if you don't enter this river, you can't be a fish in this river, Meng Dongran is confident that the water is okay. The key is to meet a stunned person like Chu Jianfei, who carries a torch and charges a cannon, relying on the special relationship with the vice governor, and acting himself as the vice governor in real life, you can't take his trick. Meng Dong Ranquan should be accompanied by the plague god, swallowing his anger and pretending to laugh, which can be regarded as washing his heart again. Every flattery is a change in your heart, until your heart is completely washed and whitened, and you no longer feel any stimulation, you are considered mature. Of course, the grievances will not be in vain, everyone understands this truth, otherwise, who is so willing to pretend to be a grandson. In the middle of this, he regretted one thing, he shouldn't have called Su Hongyan that day, he miscalculated, his brain was hot at that time, and he forgot that Su Hongyan was a trouble in Zhao Naizin. He thought that Zhao Naizin was angry this time, and more reasons were here.

On the afternoon when Chu Jianfei was sent away, Chang Guoan called and said in a very impulsive tone: "I'm too busy, director, I don't answer my phone." Meng Dongran complained again and again, Chang Guoan had made two phone calls earlier, because Zhao Naizin was present, he didn't dare to answer, pressed, remembered to reply to the text message to explain, and forgot about it when he was busy.

"Don't be angry, the old leader, I just finished the meeting and am about to report to you." Meng Dongran told a lie that was not very pretty.

"Meeting? Our Director Meng Da was in charge of everything, and he was still giving people away just now, and he came out of the venue so quickly. Chang Guoan obviously has a clear grasp of his whereabouts, and his words are full of sarcasm and sarcasm. Also, Chu Jianfei came this time, and the movement was too big, I am afraid that Pan Xiangming, the municipal party committee, would have known about it for a long time. Meng Dongran smiled dryly, he didn't know how to fulfill his lie, Chang Guoan relieved him with a word: "Don't go anywhere in the afternoon, your aunt specially steamed river crabs to comfort you." ”

"It's useless, so it's embarrassing to eat every day." Meng Dong Gas finally gasped evenly, and also played a trick with Chang Guoan.

"That's it, get over early in the afternoon."

After answering the phone, Meng Dongran wanted to talk to Ye Xiaotang? Chang Guoan called him, he couldn't help but go, and when he thought about the attitude of the Chang family towards Ye Xiaotang, he hesitated again. In the past, Meng Dongran always took Ye Xiaotang to run to his usual house, although Xie Zizhen said that he was unhappy on his face, he still gave face when he went, and he was also affectionate to Ye Xiaotang. Suddenly, one day, Ye Xiaotang heard about the past between him and Chang Xiaoli out of nowhere, and the vinegar jar was overturned inexplicably: "Okay, no wonder you run so hard, it turns out that someone is your father-in-law." One sentence is not appropriate, Meng Dongran quarreled with Ye Xiaotang. After that, Ye Xiaotang never went to Chang's house again, playing personality. Xie Zizhen was so happy that she couldn't see Ye Xiaotang's ostentatious face, and every time she saw it, she got angry. Women always feel that some things belong to them and cannot be shared with others, even if they can't get them, others can't touch them. Ye Xiaotang followed Meng Dongran through the days of the official's wife, and Xie Zizhen was very unhappy, especially after Chang Xiaoli's marriage changed.

Meng Dongran dialed half of the number and stopped, suddenly not knowing what to say to Ye Xiaotang after connecting. During these days, I felt that the tacit understanding with Ye Xiaotang was getting less and less, and my heart seemed to be stuffed with something, and when I was warm in bed that night, my mind was inexplicably surging with something that shouldn't have happened. Ye Xiaotang also seems to be different from before, he used to be a hot person, and he started doing that endlessly, and he couldn't wait to squeeze Meng Dongran dry at one time, but now he feels a lot colder.

Meng Dongran didn't know what was wrong, but he clearly felt that something was wrong.

And not a small problem.

Husbands and wives are different from husband and wife, some husband and wife relationships are free-range, they look rough but are actually firm, and they beat and scold for a lifetime, but they can't be separated. Some husband and wife relationships are packed in glass bottles, looking exquisite, one treats the other as a baby, and it will be sad to be separated for a while, but it is too easy to disperse, and it will break if it is slightly bumped.

Forget it, don't want to. Meng Dongran sent a text message to his wife, saying that there was a reception in the afternoon and that he would go back a little later. This kind of text message is like a panacea plaster, every man in officialdom sends it, and it works, but almost every wife doesn't believe it. If you don't believe it and don't pursue the truth, it's probably the choice of the official wives who are afraid of losing watermelons and not picking sesame seeds.

Coming to Chang Guo's house on time, Xie Zizhen had already prepared the meal, and sat and waited for him with a smile. Meng Dongran said hello to his aunt, and put the gifts he brought in the kitchen, Xie Zizhen said a few words of disgust, and pulled Meng Dongran to sit down. Chang Guoan hadn't come yet, saying that he had met a guest again when he was about to get off work, and he wanted to come back a little later.

Xie Zizhen couldn't help but talk about her daughter again, she said: "I don't know what I'm busy with lately, I'm crazy, I said that I started a club and pulled in some indiscriminate people." Dongran, what do you say I can do, she tosses and turns like this, and she is not on the right path, doesn't this make me a mother? ”

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's going to be fine, Xiaoli knows what to do and what not to do." Meng Dongran said with relief.

"She knows, she needs to know!" Xie Zi was really excited, Meng Dongran regretted talking a lot, and it was good to just listen to it and not say it. Xie Zizhen was excited, so he told Meng Dongran one more thing, Chang Xiaoli extorted the old man again, 500,000 yuan, saying that it was a year less than one year when the divorce was made. Meng Dongran knew that Xie Zi was really talking about the real estate developer surnamed Jiang, this person he had seen a few days ago, grabbed his hand and said a lot of bitterness, saying that a marriage would make him miserable, and he didn't get anything, so he let the Chang family woman take away four suites in vain, plus two million. Chang Xiaoli's divorce from the surname Jiang is mainly due to the claim for damages, and her young and beautiful body let the surnamed Jiang sleep for a few years in vain, one million a year, not one less son. The surname Jiang is an outsider, knowing that the Chang family tree has deep roots, and he can't fight, so he can only admit it, who let him have so much property. But this time, when he heard Xie Zizhen say that he had blackmailed again, Meng Dongran twitched a few times in his heart, even if the surname Jiang had gold and silver, he couldn't withstand her such blackmail.

"It's not a shame, it's shameful to do shame to her parents." As soon as Xie Zizhen chatted about this, it was endless, and Meng Dongran was afraid to listen to it, so he didn't dare to interrupt. To accompany a woman like Xie Zizhen, you must have full patience. There are two kinds of women in the world who are difficult to accompany: one is engaged in pyramid schemes or insurance, who thinks they are very eloquent, and can break your eardrums in order to cheat a few dollars; The other is afraid that these outdated official wives. If you accompany Zhao Naizin or Mrs. Pan Xiangming, you don't have to work so hard at all, they are concise and to the point, and their speaking efficiency is higher than that of their husband who is in power. For example, the last time I accompanied Zhao Naizin's wife Shen Mei to the furniture square, Zhao Naizin repeatedly told her to only accompany her to pass the time, and don't go to Shen Meidang and move things to the house. Shen Mei stopped in front of an Italian NCANTO sofa, caressed the sofa with her eyes, refused to move it for a long time, and then only said: "Good is good, but unfortunately not everyone can sit." Meng Dongran immediately understood, and before Shen Mei could go home, the set of 139,081 sofas was wrapped in a very rough wrapping cloth and pulled downstairs to the mayor's house.

"Dongran, my heart is about to be broken for her, today my aunt officially entrusts you with something, pay attention to it for her, there is a suitable master to introduce a family, let her cry and sway in front of my eyes with a sad face, and my heart will turn over in a flash." Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his face: "By the way, I heard that there is a deputy director of the Price Bureau who has just lost his wife, can you ......?"

Meng Dongran almost didn't choke on the water he had just drunk, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the person was not much better if he was in a hurry. There is a deputy director of the price bureau who just lost his wife, died of liver cancer, and I heard that his wife was still hospitalized, so many corners came to the door, and even the wife of the former secretary general of the municipal party committee also asked someone to come to the door to talk about the media, and the former secretary general accidentally encountered a car accident when he went to the countryside to inspect work, and left her still young. But the deputy director is over fifty-five years old and is about to retire......

Meng Dongran was a little speechless!

Meng Dongran felt a chill, not knowing whether it was for Xie Zizhen, Chang Xiaoli, or for himself. Seeing that a woman who was once related to his life had fallen to this extent, Meng Dongran didn't just knock over the five-flavor bottle in his heart.

He ate a light and tasteless dinner that day, but it was a pity that Xie Zizhen was heartbroken. The words Xie Zizhen said, as well as the loneliness and helplessness in his eyes when he begged him, made him palpitate again and again. People don't deserve to be like this, especially women.

And the club that Xie Zizhen mentioned many times, what kind of club is it? Outside of officialdom, Meng Dongran paid little attention, lacked energy, and lacked interest. However, recently, there has been a club wind in Tongjiang, and there are several of them in his ears. Some people who are idle and bored or who are in a panic with money play new and alternative, and whatever society opposes will come. Meng Dongran couldn't help but think of the absurd incident of a professor that happened in a certain place recently, a professor started a club at home, and played wife swapping or gathering crowds like foreigners, and the result was reported by people. The world is too big and too complicated, and there are many things that people can't imagine. Meng Dongran never expressed his opinion on this kind of nonsense, but he kept saying in his heart, Chang Xiaoli must not be obsessed, a rich and traumatized woman is more evil than anyone else. Some things are like opium, once you get it, you can't quit again!

Thinking about it, she suddenly laughed again, how could she live her business, what was her hurry?

Chang Guoan ate neatly that day, and after eating, he called Meng Dongran into the study.

"Close the door and I'm going to have a good talk with you today."

Meng Dongran obediently closed the door, and looked at Chang Guoan with a pair of eyes sparkling.

"Sit, what are you pretending to be here, put away your set, and go back to pretend with Zhao Naizin."

Meng Dongran smiled awkwardly, for some reason, he was uncomfortable in front of Chang Guoan now, the original acquaintance seemed to be getting less and less, and it was far better to be free and easy in front of Zhao Naizin. When he came to this house before, it was like coming to his own house, when did he give birth?
