Ji Xian'er's arrival immediately added bright colors to the originally slightly dull carriage.

Although Hu Linan and the others abided by the staff rules of not turning a blind eye and not listening to indecent manners, they were still so nervous that they didn't dare to say much. After listening to Chen Yang help Ji Xian'er make an introduction, they were even more speechless, they couldn't imagine that this delicate beautiful girl turned out to be the CEO of a hotel group, and she was a fellow villager with Mayor Chen, no wonder the relationship was so close.

Ji Xian'er was also a little nervous at first, put her hands flat on her legs, pressed the skirt, and tried her best to maintain a good lady's sitting posture. But on the whole, the joy in her heart greatly outweighed the nervousness.

It's no wonder that she has been with Chen Yang for all these years, and this is the first time she has had the opportunity to sit in Chen Yang's official car, which makes her feel a sense of pride in being the mayor's wife, although this kind of caution is not for outsiders, but at least now she thinks so in her heart. And since Chen Yang dared to ask her to get in the car, she naturally didn't need to worry too much.

And Chen Yang didn't think as much as the others, and chatted with Ji Xian'er without a match, mainly asking about the situation at home. Since Chen Ruonan became pregnant, Xian'er spent almost half of the month staying at his home in the party school to help take care of Chen Ruonan, and said that it was Chen Ruonan's cousin to the outside world, and naturally no one in the party school would be idle and boring. Thanks to Xian'er's help, otherwise he would not be able to take care of a big man at all, he thought about hiring a nanny, but Chen Ruonan did not agree, and the family was too narrow.

Ji Xian'er said that everything in the family is good, Chen Ruonan and the baby are very healthy, and the due date is estimated to be around the National Day. At the end, she also took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Chen Yang, who was entrusted by Chen Ruonan to transfer it to him.

Chen Yang took the letter, he didn't need to look at him to know what Chen Ruonan wrote in the letter, and for a while, he couldn't help but have a warm current surging in his heart. Although communication is very convenient now, and he calls home almost every day, some words are still inconvenient to say with his mouth, especially for a woman with Chen Ruonan's character, it is even more difficult for her to put the words of love on her lips.

After chatting in the car for ten minutes, Xizhou Hotel arrived.

When Chen Yang and the others went up to the small banquet hall on the third floor, there were already students in the class at the door, and when they saw Chen Yang coming, they didn't know who shouted first, and soon there was a bang, and a large group of people drinking tea, chatting, playing cards and singing inside all poured out.

After a while, in the warm greeting of "Teacher Chen", Chen Yang was surrounded and entered the banquet hall.

This time, there were as many as 26 people in Chen Yang's class, except for Guo Detian and other six local officials in Lingxi, most of the others were also from some southern provinces, such as the neighboring Lingnan, Ningbei, Sichuannan, Qiangui, and so on. In addition, Xue Xiaobao from Huahai City also joined in the fun, and after receiving the graduation certificate, he was not in a hurry to return to his original unit to report, but went to Xizhou to play with his classmates from the south.

After sitting down, Chen Yang first briefly introduced Ji Xian'er's identity to the students who came from afar. He said it very simply, only saying that Ji Xian'er was a distant relative of his own, the president of Jiangnan Hyatt Hotel Group.

Chen Yang's class of students are all people who have mixed in the officialdom, and they still have a bit of eyesight, so it is naturally not difficult to guess that this Mr. Ji of Hyatt has a lot to do with Teacher Chen. Of course, no one would be so bored to gossip on such occasions.

Ji Xian'er was also polite and reserved, nodding to these Chen Yang students, but still maintaining a sense of distance. It was the first time for her to accompany Chen Yang to attend such a private party in an open and honest manner, and the opportunity was rare, so she naturally had to grasp the proportions. This is not difficult for her to be well-informed.

Soon, laughter filled the restaurant.

After several waitresses in charge of the banquet hall delivered the menu, Chen Yang's secretary Xiao Hu finally found an opportunity to watch Xiàn and immediately began to be busy.

After a while, one after another delicacies were served to the table by the waiter, and Xiao Hu was also clever, listening to the accents of these people, he could tell that most of them were southerners, so he mainly ordered Cantonese cuisine and Sichuan cuisine.

Of course, the first glass of wine had to be toasted by the host Chen Yang. He raised his glass and invited: "I am very happy and relieved that everyone can come to Xizhou to see me as a class teacher, and I hope that everyone can work hard after returning to their respective units, apply the knowledge they have learned in the party school to their work, and really do something practical and good for the masses."

As soon as his voice fell, a narrow woman's voice immediately sounded.

"Teacher Chen, how do your words sound no different from what Principal Nan said at our graduation ceremony?"

It was Comrade Xue Xiaobao who spoke, she was a member of the disciplinary committee in the class, but strangely enough, she was the most popular in the class. Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that she is also a member of the literary and artistic committee, after all, beautiful women are popular everywhere.

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yang is also an old man, there is no way, now as long as he attends a banquet of more than ten people, he doesn't need to go through his brain to speak, and he can jump out of a set of official words when he opens his mouth.

"Okay then, I won't say more nonsense, cheers everyone"

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he drank it all.

Everyone responded in an uproar, and they all did it.

Subsequently, the class leader Ye Wei raised a glass on behalf of everyone and said: "Now let us all salute Teacher Chen together, and wish our Teacher Chen a prosperous future and a high rise."

Everyone raised their glasses in response and killed them together. Even a few female comrades didn't replace them with drinks, and they all drank Moutai wine full of thumb glasses.

Next, everyone chatted while eating, and talked about wine, which complemented each other.

Of course, the protagonist is naturally Chen Yang. Everyone took turns to come over to toast him, but he couldn't push it. But thinking that there is nothing to do tomorrow, plus these students are their own people, maybe they will still be their own right-hand man in the future, so they let go to drink, and they don't cheat, and basically do not refuse to come.

Seeing that Ji Xian'er who was sitting next to him was anxious like something, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of so many people, let alone come out to block the wine, he could only whisper a few words of persuasion from the side, but the effect was very little.

Finally, there is a special dish of the hotel, called white cut dog meat, this dish is specially ordered by Chen Yang, he also tasted it after he arrived in Xizhou, he thought it was good, so he ordered it for everyone to taste.

A whole dog was cut into several large plates and brought up.

Chen Yang had a little bit of alcohol, so he picked up the chopsticks with a smile and distributed them to everyone: "Come, if any comrade has a taboo, say it quickly, but if you don't taste this white-cut dog in Xizhou, you won't be able to come to Lingxi."

Everyone laughed.

After a full meal, everyone was obviously not happy, shouting that no one would go back to the hotel to rest so early.

There was no way, Chen Yang had to ask Xiaohu to go upstairs and arrange a big box to sing karaoke, so that everyone could come and return satisfied.

Xizhou Hotel deserves to be the best hotel in Xizhou, although it is not as good as Yanjing Huahai and other big cities, but the singing room is still decent.

Huge spherical chandeliers hang from the central ceiling, emitting colorful flashing lights, fully imported BOSS speakers, comfortable and wide super couches, leather stools, long tables, and so on.

Before entering the school, these students were all old rivers and lakes who often went in and out of the song hall and dance hall, and as soon as they entered the box, they couldn't wait to take turns to go to the performing arts stage to show their ugliness.

Of course, they don't sing any popular songs, but classic old songs from the 80s and 90s.

Chen Yang drank a lot in front of him, and after entering the box, he didn't go to join in the fun, but just sat in the wide sofa and listened to the students sing those old-fashioned songs in a five-tone voice. I tried to leave early several times, but I couldn't, so I could only stay hard.

"Husband, drink some tea and relieve the bar."

At this time, Ji Xian'er asked the waiter from outside to make a cup of hot hangover tea and handed it to him.

Chen Yang took the teacup and drank it slowly, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, why did Min Rou stop the 'Chess Mountain' project?" ”

"How do I know that a small businessman, anyway, if you ask me to shoot I'll go, I don't have a problem with the project in their district, if you really want to know, just ask Secretary Min, but I can remind you, Secretary Min is now prosperous, I heard that she has been elected as a member of the municipal committee, and I still have to make an appointment to see her."

Ji Xian'er pouted. She originally had a good relationship with Min Rou, but since the last Huahai Villa incident, Min Rou seems to have a grudge against her. She was still wronged in her heart, didn't she just overhear a few words, what's the big deal?

Chen Yang stopped talking, of course he asked Min Rou, but Min Rou explained to him vaguely that it was because Zhang Chao had stuck the project, but he knew very well in his heart that since Ye Cheng was transferred out of the Youth League Committee, Zhang Chao had converged a lot, and now he was busy running up and down to find a way to transfer back to the Central Committee of the Youth League, after all, he came to Xinzhuang to gild, and now the gold is plated enough, and it is not meaningful to continue to be a puppet secretary, let alone dare to get stuck in his own project.

Ji Xian'er saw that Chen Yang was silent in thought, thinking that he was angry, so she quickly put away her little vinegar, and persuaded softly: "Husband, don't worry about it, in fact, Secretary Min still takes care of me, last time Hyatt wanted to expand its branch in Xinzhuang, unfortunately it was pinched with the Industrial Real Estate recommended by Secretary Zeng of the Municipal Party Committee, and in the end, it was she who came forward, I finally got a piece of land on the edge of the Green River, and she also withstood a lot of pressure, don't you all look at your face." By the way, I saw her at a banquet in Jiaozhou last month, although she didn't ask me anything, but don't you understand her thoughts? ”

Chen Yang didn't mean this at all, and immediately frowned and said, "You don't have to do this kind of official-business-collusion for me in the future."

Ji Xian'er was not annoyed, she smiled, but she didn't dare to mention it again.

Chen Yang glared at her and continued: "By the way, Xian'er, if you want to open a branch in Xizhou, don't mess around." ”

"Why?"

Ji Xian'er's smile froze, it's not that she expects to make money here, to be honest, in the current environment of Xizhou, even if her hotel really opens, she must be losing money and making money. She just wanted to help Chen Yang from the side. What's more, in this way, she can still have more time to accompany Chen Yang openly, which is a double win.

"Just do as I say."

Chen Yang did not give an explanation. In fact, he has no objection to Ji Xian'er coming to Xizhou to open a branch, as long as it is investment, as the mayor, he has no reason to push out, what Xizhou lacks now is investment, and the hotel can be built, and it can also solve the employment problem of many locals, but the time is not right now.

Ji Xian'er heard that there was no room for maneuver in his words, so she didn't ask again, but she was inevitably a little uncomfortable in her heart.

When the two were talking, someone next to them walked over, Ji Xian'er got up very politely and nodded and smiled at the visitor, and then walked aside.

This person is the squad leader Ye Wei.

As soon as he sat down, he hurriedly said: "Teacher, the order of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee has come down, and I will be notified to report to southern Thailand on the second day of next month." ”

Chen Yang took a sip of tea slowly, and then asked, "Is it to go to the county party committee or the county government?" ”

"Go to the county government and become a deputy county magistrate."

Ye Wei replied in a low voice.

"Well, it's a small step, let's work hard in the future."

Chen Yang nodded, Ye Wei is a cadre in Ningbei, he doesn't have much background, after returning from this study, he was originally going to be transferred to the Secretariat of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee as a small section chief, Chen Yang helped recommend it, helped him promote the deputy department, and went to his cousin Zhang Ziyu's Tainan County as the deputy county magistrate. Speaking of which, he still admires this student who can endure hardships.

He had already told Ye Wei about some of the governance ideas for the jade industry in southern Thailand before leaving school, so there is no need to repeat them here. , there is only so much he can help at present, Jackie Chan becomes an insect, and in the end, it depends on personal efforts and opportunities.

Subsequently, Ye Wei asked Chen Yang for advice on some things that he couldn't understand, and after a short talk between the teachers and students, another female comrade came, it was Xue Xiaobao from Huahai.

"Teacher Chen, why are you hiding here and not singing? You can't even go over as a homeroom teacher, it's boring. ”

As soon as Xue Xiaobao sat down, he asked him with some dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, Xiao Xue, you are all guests, how can I, the host, compete with you for singing." Chen Yang casually snorted.

"Hehe, Teacher Chen, what you say is very false."

Xue Xiaobao pursed his lips and smiled, obviously very aware of Chen Yang's prevarication.

Holding a glass of juice and biting the straw and taking a few sips, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head and asked Chen Yang curiously: "By the way, Mr. Chen, there is something I have always been curious about and want to ask you." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Chen Yang said strangely.

"Do you know the head of the News Section of the Propaganda Department of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee?"

"Journalism? Section Chief Fang? ”

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, "Is it called Fang Qing?" ”

He didn't dare to confirm it, but as far as he knew, Fang Qing should be in the spiritual civilization. If she was transferred to the journalism department, she would probably have to hide from herself. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Perhaps, I have to be helpless.

"It's Fang Qing, so you knew each other before?"

Xue Xiaobao blinked and looked at him.

"Well, I've known Fang Qing for many years."

Chen Yang is not shy about it.

Xue Xiaobao smiled and said: "I think it should be like this, Mr. Chen, you used to be a secretary in Dongshan County, and then went to Jiaozhou, it just so happened that Section Chief Fang also stayed in these two places, I think you are such a big celebrity, you must know each other." ”

Chen Yang nodded, took a sip of tea slowly, then put down the teacup again, and asked, "By the way, Xiao Xue, why did you ask about this, are you very familiar with Fang Qing?" ”

"I'm not too familiar, but my cousin has been pursuing Miss Fang, so I want to ask you about her situation."

"Your cousin? Who is it? ”

Chen Yang was slightly curious, but he didn't feel too surprised, with Fang Qing's conditions, it was a strange thing that no one pursued, maybe it was a strange medium made by her second sister. And he wasn't too worried, he didn't dare to say anything about other women, but Fang Qing, it was okay if you said he was despicable, anyway, he would have eaten Fang Qing.

"Kong Haodong, do you know each other?"

Xue Xiaobao asked.

"The secretary of Secretary Liang of the municipal party committee is your cousin?"

Chen Yang really couldn't imagine that Xue Xiaobao's cousin was actually that Kong Haodong.

"Well, but now he seems to be working as a secretary in the district below."

Xue Xiaobao replied casually, but her tone didn't quite match the tone that a small deputy section-level cadre like her should have.

Chen Yang was even more strange, but soon, Mayor Huahai's name suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly looked at Xue Xiaobao with some surprise: "Xiao Xue, Xue Changting is your family?" ”

Seeing Chen Yang's surprised expression rarely, Xue Xiaobao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I didn't say anything." ”

Chen Yang confirmed in his heart that Xue Xiaobao had a close relationship with the old Xue who would enter the political bureau in the future. He never expected that he was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in his class, and he didn't seem to be small. It's just that this Xiao Xue is too low-key, with this kind of family background, he works in the Huahai Economic and Trade Bureau as a small deputy section chief?

Just as he was about to dig deeper, Xue Xiaobao rushed ahead of him and asked very bluntly, "Teacher Chen, have you ever been friends with Miss Fang before?" ”

She asked this too directly, and after asking, she stared at Chen Yang directly, which suddenly made Chen Yang a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he was not what he used to be, and after a glimmer of essence flashed in his eyes, he immediately calmed down, shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not, by the way, why do you ask that?" Did Xiao Fang tell you something? ”

"Hehe, is there really not?"

Xue Xiaobao chuckled, and turned his head to the right as he spoke, his eyes thoughtful.

Over there, Ji Xian'er was surrounded by a few female comrades, and she didn't know what she was talking about, anyway, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Chen Yang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and didn't take her stubble. Since this Xiao Xue is **, it doesn't make sense to bother to tell her about this.

Xue Xiaobao turned his head and glanced at Chen Yang again, before he smiled and resolved the embarrassment, "Hehe, it's best if you don't have it." ”

Just as they were about to continue chatting, I don't know who in the group of students who were originally singing happily suddenly joked loudly: "Xiao Xue, what are you and Teacher Chen whispering?" Are you courting our beloved Teacher Chen, you, just die of that heart as soon as possible, don't keep thinking about our Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen has already had a master, you don't have a chance to break up other people's families It's not a good comrade, everyone says, isn't it? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the entire box.

Everyone laughed non-stop and responded loudly, obviously they had used this to make fun of Xue Xiaobao before.

Now it was Xue Xiaobao's turn to be nervous, her face turned red, fortunately the lights here flickered, and it was not easy to notice, and then she quickly got up from the sofa, and shouted angrily at the men who talked nonsense after drinking: "What nonsense are you bastards?"

"If we don't say yes, but you have to come over and sing a song to everyone, otherwise you, the literary and art committee, will not be qualified. Everyone said, isn't it? ”

This wine is really high.

The people next to him were the same, and they were heckling again.

Xue Xiaobao burned his face so much that he could almost boil an egg, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to drill down immediately. If it is usual, it is just that, but today Mr. Chen is also here, can this kind of saliva be said?

There was no way, Chen Yang had no choice but to stand up and solve the siege: "Everyone is almost done, there has to be a degree to joke, can a lesbian make jokes casually?" ”

"Teacher Chen, it's not like we're talking nonsense, that day at the graduation ceremony, Comrade Xiao Xue personally said that he wanted to sing a love song for you. I wasn't the only one, 75 pairs of ears in the class heard it, didn't I? ”

Together, a large burst of laughter instantly overwhelmed the situation that Chen Yang had just controlled.

And Xue Xiaobao almost collapsed on the spot. That's right, her personality is spicy and generous, and she can get along with her classmates, and those words have indeed been said in public, but they are all half-joking and half-ridiculous, how can it be serious, let alone rehash the old things in front of Chen Yang.

But this is not the end, immediately after, the perpetrator burped, continued to chase after the victory, and shouted through the wine: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, Xiao Xue said it herself that day, what song did she say she was going to sing?" ”

As soon as his words fell, a large number of echoes immediately sounded around him, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"I know, I know, it's the theme song of Qianlong that we all like to watch"

"Haha, Comrade Xiao Xue, isn't it?"

"Sister Xiaobao, don't admit it"

"Look, our Comrade Xiao Xue is embarrassed, come on, everyone applauds and welcomes"

I don't know who in the box took the lead in applauding, and soon, this applause resounded rhythmically throughout the box.

That's right, these people can't do business, but when it comes to applause, it's definitely Chen Yang who taught it.

Maybe it was the general outburst of shame after the extreme of shame, Xue Xiaobao suddenly was not afraid, he raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly to everyone: "Sing it, who is afraid of whom"

In the laughter and warm applause of everyone, Xue Xiaobao trembled with anger, stood on the song platform, and viciously copied the songbook that was placed on it.

Those who have good deeds immediately ordered a song on the operation machine.

Soon, there was a fragment of the once-popular bloody drama "Joking about Qianlong" on the huge projection screen, and the MTV track was the theme song of this film - "Asking Love", which was also popular and popular all over the country back then.

When the beautiful prelude music sounded, the applause reached the highest point, Xue Xiaobao coughed dryly twice, looked at the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, and sang in a bright voice:

"The mountains and rivers can't carry too much sorrow, the years can't afford to wait too long to love to the point that they can't love, gather until they finally disperse, and become a dream after prosperity."

Although Xiao Xue is not a professional singer, her voice is very sweet and soft, and it is most suitable to sing this kind of sad love song.

When singing **, everyone couldn't help but put away their ridiculous smiles, and they were all intoxicated by Comrade Xiao Xue's singing.

Even Chen Yang lost his mind for a moment.

However, it was only for a moment.

Because his hand suddenly warmed, it seemed to be held tightly by a soft and smooth little hand, and then the palm of his hand was grabbed by the little hand.

turned his head to look, and sure enough, Xian'er was looking at him a little unhappily, and opened her mouth to say to him in a dumb voice: "Husband, I'm sleepy, let's go"

Chen Yang couldn't cry or laugh, this time he was really wronged
