Xinhua Hotel is located in Huangpu Road in Huahai, from the real city center is only five minutes by car, convenient transportation, its predecessor is the first guest house in Huahai City, has been a government guest house since its completion, since the reform and opening up, in order to adapt to the development of the new form shì, Xinhua Hotel has also continued to grow and develop, and is now a standard five-star hotel. Of course, its basic functions are still there, and it is still the official reception hotel of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and more than 30% of the staff in the hotel are still public servants in the business establishment.

The National Development and Reform Commission and his party were arranged by Huahai to stay in the Xinhua Hotel, Deputy Director Chen Dong returned to the hotel, immediately took a hot bath, washed away the fatigue, no wonder, after the dust came from Yanjing, the first thing to do was to go to the Huahai Municipal Party Committee to have a meeting, for him this kind of cadre who sits in the office all day long, it is really tired, originally he still wanted to go to a sauna, but it was too late to see the time, and he had to participate in the welcome dinner of Huahai in a while, so he simply stayed in the room, Lying on the comfortable soft sofa, he held a thick book of "Wu Jinglian's Special Collection" in his hand and read it with interest.

With the gradual popularization of the network, at this stage, domestic government officials have been demonized, basically as long as the official is mentioned, the first reaction in the minds of the people is the image of corrupt officials with fat brains, but objectively speaking, at least, although this deputy director Chen Dong is indeed very fat, but he is still a more dedicated and knowledgeable senior cadre, and he did make a lot of achievements when he worked in the Economic and Trade Department before, otherwise, he would never have broken through the difficulty of department-level cadres and promoted to the ranks of ministerial-level officials.

Yes, not every official has the opportunity and background of Chen Yang, Chen Yang's example is just an example, even in the war years, it is extremely rare, and there is no value for discussion. As the so-called high-level cadres who can achieve success and get to an important position like Chen Dong, who is not stepping on the bones of countless people. There is no way, officialdom is so cruel, the winner is king, and the loser can only go home to retire or simply be shuanggui.

Chen Dong has just turned 50 this year, and he can barely be regarded as a young ministerial-level cadre, so he is very strict with himself, and he usually loves to learn, not only to learn the spirit of the central government, but also to study business knowledge hard. This is the motto of one of the old leaders who promoted him, and he is also a classic.

However, it is a pity that he had just calmed down and planned to re-read the works of Wu Jinglian, a famous domestic economic expert, when a knock on the door sounded, and he had to interrupt his study.

"Hehe, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I didn't have so much entertainment in the past few days on a business trip, and I would flip through Mr. Wu's book again, but it seems that I don't have this opportunity."

He shook his head with a wry smile, closed the ink-scented book again, and carefully lowered it before greeting to the door.

Soon, the door of the living room was pushed open by a delicate and beautiful waiter in a Chinese-style cheongsam, and two well-dressed young men came in with the waiter, one of whom looked about thirty years old, wearing a very formal slim black suit, wearing a blue tie with dark flower stripes, with a fair face, meticulously combed hair, glossy, and full of spirit, the whole person felt that it was very clean and neat at a glance, and the other looked slightly younger. Twenty-seven or eighteen, he looks quite handsome, especially the small handful of well-groomed mustaches on his chin, which gives people a strange feeling, and the suit style on this guy is also a more casual one, with a dark black shirt embroidered with dark flowers inside, and no tie, but Rao is so, but it does not give people a feeling of non-conformity, but it makes people feel that he can only show his taste when he wears it like this.

All in all, both of them are dignified people, and at a glance, they know that they are people with identities and backgrounds.

The beautiful waitress who led the way helped the two gentlemen push the door open, and then closed the door gently, the waiter who can serve in the Xinhua Hotel is absolutely first-class, not to mention the figure, it is one in a hundred, and more importantly, even the most ordinary waiter like her must at least have a bachelor's degree, and must be good at more than two foreign languages.

Although this waitress is only a little girl who has just graduated from college for a year or two, she only took up her post after strict training, and the reception in the Xinhua Hotel on weekdays is either a high-ranking political official, or a wealthy businessman, she is also well-informed, and the arrival of these two handsome young men will not make her feel anything special, and the warm and thoughtful service is her scope of work.

However, after helping the guests close the door and return to the main desk on the floor, she was teased by a colleague's little sister, and a girl who was also in the flower season laughed and teased her: "Lingling, I wonder, why do you always meet these handsome young guys, but I always have my turn to receive some fat pigs with fat heads and big ears?" ”

The waiter who was called Lingling was not annoyed when he heard this, but just laughed and fought back: "What's the matter, Ah Zi, are you not convinced?" ”

Ah Zi smiled and said: "I'm not unconvinced, I've seen a lot of this kind of son, brother and sister, I'll send it to you to say hello, sister, I'm not rare!" ”

Lingling refused to lose this battle, snorted, and deliberately teased her: "Oh, yes, that's good, let's talk about it, this floor is the final say of the two of us anyway, if Mayor Chen arrives one day in the future, you are not allowed to rob me." ”

Her joke seemed to work very well, and the girl named Ah Zi immediately became anxious when she heard it, and hurriedly said: "Oh, that's not good, I want to serve Mayor Chen once in my dreams, you, you little girl can't rob my sister." ”

"Huh!" Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled, "Look at you, I'm lying to you, who in our dormitory doesn't know your thoughts, but Ah Zi, don't splash chicken soup on Mayor Chen next time, hehe"

Talking about the trouble, she turned around and ran away, leaving only a string of silver bell-like girlish laughter.

"Lingling, don't go!"

Ah Zi hatefully watched this good sister flee, couldn't help but stomp her feet, and then thought of the last trouble, the last time should have been before the Chinese New Year, when Chen Yang was entertaining a group of French merchants in the hotel, because she was very good at French, she was fortunate to be transferred to the box to serve the leader, but who knew that there was a little wrong in the work, and when she helped Chen Yang to serve the soup, she was so nervous for some reason, but with a shake of her hand, she spilled a few drops of chicken soup on Chen Yang's suit, and suddenly scared her a little crazy. She was even ready to go back and be severely criticized or even dismissed by the director, but fortunately, although Chen Yang is a dignified mayor, he treats people generously, especially when he treats this kind of low-level staff very leniently, and he doesn't think he is angry at all, and he even claims that it doesn't matter, which makes her a little embarrassed.

And Chen Yang, the young and handsome mayor of Huahai, has always been the most perfect prince charming in the minds of the girls with spring dreams in their hotel, she was lucky to have the opportunity to serve Chen Yang once, and has been looking forward to the next opportunity, but who knows, Chen Yang and the former mayor Xue Rui's work style is completely different, basically will not come to the Xinhua Hotel to eat, even if there is a reception task, it rarely appears, but it makes a group of girls have no hope, but every time she thinks about it, her heart is beating wildly, a pretty girl couldn't help but have a faint flush.

Let's get back to business.

When the two girls were talking about the nymphomaniac, the two good-looking young men had already entered Chen Dong's house.

Chen Dong obviously knew these two good sons with very different styles, and when he saw the two of them entering the house, a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes, but his face was deliberately stiffened, and he frowned: "What are you two boys doing here?" Who did I ask about staying at this hotel? ”

The man in the dark black shirt laughed: "Uncle Dong, don't get me wrong, the two of us happened to be in Huahai to talk to someone about some small business, and by mistake I heard that you arrived in Huahai at the dinner, so I hurriedly came over to say hello to you, you know, my old-fashioned old man pays the most attention to this, if he knows that I don't know how to be polite, he will find a chance to cut me when he turns back." ”

He said with a relaxed demeanor, a mouthful of Beijing-style Mandarin, even if the tone of his words was a little sticky, but it still sounded quite pleasant. And the affection revealed in and out of the words is undisguised. Not to mention an old acquaintance, I'm afraid that even if it's a stranger, I'll have a good impression of him.

Another well-dressed man next to him was like gold, and just smiled and greeted Chen Dong: "Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Dong was unapologetic to the mustache, but he was very polite to this blue tie, "Hehe, sit down, Xiaoye." ”

The young man surnamed Ye nodded his head with a smile and sat beside Chen Dong without restraint. And the other mustache was not polite, smiled and sat down, and then picked up the newly brewed pot of tea on the coffee table very familiarly, first helped Chen Dong pour some tea from the cup in front of him, and then helped the young man surnamed Ye and himself pour a cup of hot tea, in fact, the tea in Chen Dong's cup was also just poured, he did this, but the etiquette was enough. Although he seems to be uninhibited, he is actually meticulous and worthy of being the queen of everyone.

Immediately, the three of them drank tea and chatted in the living room. And obviously, from the chat, the relationship between the three is not just as simple as acquaintance. It's just that the two of them don't seem to have anything to do, and they talk to Chen Dong about some trivial family matters, such as the physical condition of the old man in the family, where are the uncles and uncles on business, and so on. But they talked happily with each other.

After chatting for about half an hour, when it was almost 7:20, Chen Dong's secretary knocked on the door and came in, and then reminded Chen Dong, saying that almost all the people from the Huahai Municipal Party Committee had arrived, and asked him if he could go down.

Although Chen Dong came down from the central government, he didn't dare to have the slightest arrogance in Huahai, so he ended chatting with the young men of his two sons and nephews, and the three of them immediately got up together and left the room.

Then, the three of them did not take the elevator, but walked down the stairs, chatting as they walked, and it was only at this time that Chen Dong said in a joking tone: "Xiao Ye, you, you are too cautious, this, let me tell you from my heart, Tang Tao, this bastard boy is better than you." As long as it is not in conflict with the national policy, in principle, I support it, some things should be generous, hidden and tucked down, not to mention, this project from the big one, benefit the country and the people, from a small point of view, it is also a shot in the arm to boost the local economy of Huahai, even if there are difficulties in cooperation, but I believe it is only temporary, you, do you still need to worry about anything? Or, you kid is questioning my ability to work as an old man? ”

The young man surnamed Ye on the side suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Chen, look at what you said, although I personally have a little stake in Zhongji, but I don't tell you anything, I really don't care much about this project, this time I came to Huahai, although it is also related to the petrochemical project, but it is to talk about something with Li Jiangnan of Sinopec, as for what you just said to question your ability, this is really wronging me." As he spoke, he glanced at the mustache on the side again, "Tang Tao, let me say it, Uncle Chen is such a shrewd person, you kid had better move less thoughts, you don't believe it, look, Uncle Chen underestimated it." ”

Tang Tao smiled and spread his hands, and said: "Uncle Dong, Brother Xiao Ye, don't get involved with me, I'm an idler who is full and waiting to die, unlike you, Uncle Dong is the big minister, Brother Xiao Ye, you are the boss of Southern Petrochemical." ”

The young man surnamed Ye, who has always been rigorous, seemed to be amused by Tang Tao's words, and he said: "Okay, you just blow a few words, who in the circle doesn't know that your girlfriend is amazing, before Dong Guoliang from Zhongji came to talk to me last time, it seems that Zhang Nan went to find it first, believe it or not, I will find Zhang Nan when I go back to Beijing." ”

"Hey, don't mind, Brother Xiao Ye, I'm begging you, don't go and talk nonsense to Nan Nan."

Tang Tao, who had been laughing, seemed to be pinched by the young man surnamed Ye, and was busy begging for mercy.

The three of them laughed and walked to the banquet hall on the second floor, Chen Dong stopped and asked, "By the way, Xiao Ye, Tang Tao, don't you really plan to participate in the banquet for a while?" Lao Gao told me before, Zhongji Company should also come to participate, oh, by the way, Dong Guoliang should also come over in person. I also want to have a good chat with you two boys, and find you big bosses to support a few projects. ”

The young man surnamed Ye was slightly stunned, although Huahai was a reception wine for the working group of the National Development and Reform Commission, but because Zhongji also came over, the nature of this reception banquet was different, and with their well-known businessmen, if they wanted to be invited, it would not be difficult, not to mention, among the two of them, one directly held shares in Zhongji, and the other girlfriend was the second largest shareholder in Zhongji Company after Dong Guoliang, so it would not be abrupt to participate in this banquet. Moreover, because he had just imported a batch of crude oil from the Middle East to enter the port from Huahai, he had planned to visit Gao Ming in the near future, not for any convenience, but just to go through the motions.

But for some reason, at this time, a man's indifferent face inadvertently appeared in his mind, and he frowned secretly, he hesitated for a moment, but still rejected Chen Dong's suggestion: "Uncle Chen, I think we should not join in this fun, as for the few projects you have at hand, if they are useful to me Ye Huan, I will definitely fully support your work." ”

Chen Dong was not reluctant, but nodded a little regretfully, and then said with a smile: "In this case, well, it's okay, Huahai, Mayor Chen, hehe, you know, it's not very easy to do, you can be busy with your first, but I estimate that I will have to stay in Huahai for about a week, if you have time, let's have a good chat." ”

After Chen Dong finished speaking, Tang Tao on the side opened his mouth again, because of some powerful relationship that cannot be clearly explained, he is more involved in Zhongji, he seems to want to see the true chapter of the legendary red and purple princeling, and then he said with some disapproval: "Brother Xiaoye, you won't, but it's just a light meal, how can we say that we are also a guest who is going to invest in Huahai soon, is it possible that you are really afraid of Chen Yang?" If you want me to say, he is not just a little fish that eats dry rice, but he is just luckier than us, if we also go to the officialdom to mingle, it may not be better than him Young Master Chen."

"Tang Tao, shut up for me!"

Before he finished speaking, the young man surnamed Ye lowered his face and cut off his words in a low voice.

Tang Tao seemed to have a lot of respect for this young man surnamed Ye, and immediately kept silent, just looking at the look on his face, he may not be really convinced in his heart.

When it came to Chen Yang, the young man surnamed Ye seemed to be a little unhappy in his heart, his face was a little ugly, and then he scolded: "Tang Tao, your habit is not good, it seems that I really have to talk to your family Zhang Nan when I go back, and ask her to take care of it."

It's a pity that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a hearty laugh on the side: "Hehe, Xiao Xue, who is Zhang Nan?" What's the matter, do we have this comrade among the grassroots cadres in Huahai? Male or female? ”

The faces of the three people who were chatting near the banquet hall couldn't help but change when they heard this, and their eyes brushed over with laughter.

In the direction of the wide antechamber, a young man wearing straight trousers and only a white shirt on the upper half of his body walked steadily in this direction.

The young man surnamed Ye was the first to react from Fang Cai's astonishment, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face, and he also walked towards the visitor briskly.
