After the guests and hosts arrived, the waitress in a classical cheongsam who was in charge of serving in Baixiang Pavilion took the initiative to tell Chen Yang that the dishes were ready, and Chen Yang smiled and signaled that the other party could serve the food.

After a while, more than a dozen well-prepared dishes filled the entire round table, and the dishes were arranged by Geng Feng himself, basically covering all the signature dishes of this official restaurant, such as radish balls, fried shredded pork with Laoshan mushrooms, boiled eel and so on.

And after Chen Yang waited for all the dishes to be served, he took out the bottle of Moutai that Geng Feng brought into the private room in front of him, Ye Wei was quick, quickly got up from his seat, and opened the bottle of Chen Yang's twenty-year-old Moutai from the family that he brought from home, and then respectfully helped Chen Yang, his wife and father to fill the wine glasses in front of each other, and then poured a glass for himself and Shen Li.

"Hehe, since I was transferred back to Yanjing, I have always wanted to find a time to have a good drink with Commander Ye, but I have been entangled in mundane things since I returned to Beijing, so I have dragged it out until now."

Chen Yang had a faint smile on his face, raised his glass and said, "Come, Commander Ye, I'll toast you first." ”

Ye Zhennan also smiled and raised his glass in response: "Director Chen is too polite, this kid in my family is very stubborn, thanks to Director Chen who has always taken good care of him, if you really want to count it, it makes sense that I should invite Director Chen for this meal......"

Chen Yang smiled and didn't say anything more, and after touching the cup lightly with Ye Zhennan, he took a sip of wine, about a finger wide, which was not rude, but also did not leave the impression that the other party wanted to fight. Actually, to the position he is in now. Usually no matter what occasion he attends a banquet outside, basically no one will dare to pour him wine.

Ye Zhennan's first sip of wine is similar to Chen Yang, in fact, his current position is very sensitive, and he has the garrison in his hand, the most important armed force in the city, which is more than a hundred years ago, it is the emperor's army, in fact, he is also a military minister that the principal relies on a lot. And he has always been drunk in the army on weekdays, if Chen Yang hadn't invited him to dinner today, he would definitely not have left his post without permission.

Ye Wei and Chen Ruonan also accompanied Chen Yang and the two to drink a little at this time, and Ye Wei drank a lot. There was no reaction at all from the finger-wide wine. However, the two ladies at the table were a little flushed.

"Ahem!"

Perhaps because he was in a hurry, Chen Ruonan was choked when he put down his wine glass, lowered his head and coughed lightly twice.

Chen Yang hurriedly sandwiched a piece of ice eel for Chen Ruonan, and said with some distress: "This house is our own people." You just have to drink something. Don't drink in such a hurry. ”

"Huh. Director Chen, don't underestimate Ruonan, I went to their National Defense University a year ago to participate in a training for senior generals. I remember that at the graduation dinner, Ruonan was with a few professors from their college, but he poured several of us old guys. ”

Seeing this, Commander Ye smiled and joked beside him.

Chen Yang looked at Chen Ruonan beside him with some surprise, it was the first time he had heard someone say that his wife was a good drinker, you must know that when he was at home, Chen Ruonan basically didn't drink much, even if he drank with himself or his parents, it was only half a cup.

But Chen Ruonan smiled and said, "Uncle Ye, don't talk nonsense with Chen Yang, what you say at first glance, it seems that I am about to become an alcoholic." ”

Commander Ye immediately burst out laughing when he heard this.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became more enthusiastic, and Chen Yang asked Lao Ye out for dinner this time, but there was no special purpose, it was just to have a good relationship with the other party, after all, although there was a relationship with his own student Ye Wei, but many times, the relationship should still be more contacted.

The Nine Dynasties Mansion is a well-known official restaurant, although today is not a weekend, but there are still a lot of guests who come to order and eat, it is just before seven o'clock, and the mansion is already full, not to mention the private room, even the hall outside has no place at the moment.

It's also a coincidence, at the same time that Chen Yang was feasting on Commander Ye, Xue Xiaobao was also going to this hotel with colleagues from several units tonight to make a tooth sacrifice, but they didn't have such good luck, they didn't book a private room, so they could only ask for a booth in the hall outside. And some of their colleagues are VIP customers here, and it is better to get to the booth position, leaning near the windowsill, which is much better than being squeezed into the middle of the hall to eat.

Xue Xiaobao, who was sitting by the window, was bored looking at the scenery outside the window at the moment, chatting with a few colleagues in a few units absentmindedly.

Sitting next to her was a woman about forty years old, who looked like she was still thoughtful, and she was quite well raised, and she looked like a beautiful young woman who still had charm. She seemed to suddenly remember something at this time, so she leaned over to Xue Xiaobao and asked: "Hey, by the way, Xiao Xue, haven't you been in Huahai for a long time, why don't you tell us a few times, how is Huahai there, is it so confusing?" ”

Xue Xiaobao was thinking about things in a daze at this time, and after being interrupted by her colleague, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Ah, Sister Liao, what did you just ask me?" ”

This young woman, known as Sister Liao, seems to have a good personal relationship with Xue Xiaobao, seeing Xue Xiaobao's blank expression at this time, she didn't continue to ask the question just now, but chuckled and joked about Xue Xiaobao: "Tsk, Xiao Xue, you look like you don't want to give up, hurry, hurry up and give me an honest explanation, do you miss your man?" ”

Xue Xiaobao's face turned red when she heard this, and she raised her hand in shame to beat Sister Liao, who didn't cover up her words: "Sister Liao, what are you talking nonsense, I, I didn't think about this nonsense......"

Sister Liao giggled and dodged Xue Xiaobao's little hand, and continued to quip: "Yo, Xiao Xue, you still don't want to admit it, since you don't, then why are you blushing?" ”

Where is Xue Xiaobao the opponent of such a well-informed eldest sister, her face suddenly turned redder and redder, and she could only bite her lip and pretend to be angry: "Sister Liao, if you laugh at me like this again, I, I'll leave!" ”

Sister Liao barely stopped laughing, but she still had a funny expression, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Xiaobao, who was about to leave, and said, "Hehe, look at you in a hurry, what's wrong, Sister Liao can't joke with you?" ”

The flush on Xue Xiaobao's face dissipated a lot, but Sister Liao really didn't mistake her just now, she was really thinking about some embarrassing things in front of her, and who she was thinking, naturally there was no need to say more, but unfortunately, she never thought about it now, but the man who made her think about it was right in front of her at the moment, and she invited guests to eat in the private room in the inner courtyard.

Speaking of which, she really felt very depressed, since last year to Yanjing Party School to participate in a six-month cadre training course, she has not been able to return to Huahai, but was organized to work in a foreign trade department under the Ministry of Commerce, although the level was raised by half a grade, but where did she have any idea of promotion and wealth, after complaining to Chen Yang a few words, in the end under Chen Yang's appeasement, she barely stayed in the foreign trade department, and in early June, when she heard the news that Chen Yang was transferred from Huahai to return to Beijing to work, I was so happy that I thought I could finally meet Chen Yang, but unfortunately, at this time, the ministry suddenly organized a group of middle-level backbones to go to the United States for short-term study, and even more unfortunately, her name was also included in the list of backbones who went to the United States to study, and this time, she stayed abroad for three months, and did not finish her studies until last week and returned to China.

And the sister Liao next to her is a colleague and friend who went to the United States to study with her, the two have been in a dormitory for three months, and the relationship is naturally too good, and Sister Liao is more gossipy, always asking who her other half is, Xue Xiaobao is sometimes annoyed by the question, so she simply tells Sister Liao that her lover works in Huahai, of course, she doesn't dare to say Chen Yang's name, otherwise, I'm afraid that Sister Liao will make her gossip so that she can't sleep at night.

"Hey, Xiao Xue, sister won't joke with you, sister is telling you something serious, didn't we talk about it earlier, when we return to China, our two families will find a time to have a meal together, you can take a time to quickly summon your Mr. X to Yanjing, and then let my sister check for you."

Sister Liao's kindness Xue Xiaobao didn't dare to understand, she also casually agreed to the other party, but she didn't expect the other party to remember it so strongly, as soon as she returned to China, she mentioned this stubble, but she had a very good relationship with Sister Liao, and she didn't know how to refuse at this time, so she could only respond casually: "This, again, let's talk about it, Sister Liao, I'...... My husband is very busy with work, so he may not be able to find time to come over......"

After saying that, she blushed first, not because of Sister Liao, but because she felt ashamed of her open-mouthedness, especially when she thought that she had just said the word "husband" so naturally and smoothly, she couldn't help but blush again.

Sister Liao didn't see Xue Xiaobao's face change, and when she heard Xue Xiaobao say this, she couldn't help but feel a little upset for her little sister: "What's wrong with being busy with work?" Who isn't busy at work these days? If you want me to say, Xiao Xue, you shouldn't be so used to men, men are inherently cheap, the more you are so used to him and spoil him, the more he doesn't take you seriously, hum, according to Xiao Xue's conditions, you have to look good, you have to have a figure, what kind of man do you want to find? Not to mention far away, there are a lot of young talents in my sister's hands for you to choose from. Xiao Xue, you just listen to your sister's words, call him now, and ask him to come to Yanjing to see you immediately, if he refuses to come, you will quickly kick him when you turn around.
