Chapter 1710: Talking Happily
After having a happy meal with Qin Xiaomin, Xia Jian didn't dare to delay in time, and hurriedly drove his Daben to the provincial capital. Along the way, he only went back to the bathroom in the service area, and he didn't even bother to drink saliva.
At about half past eight, his car had parked downstairs at the Hill Hotel in the provincial capital. It's a 4 star hotel and it's not too low. The reason why Xia Jian went to live here was to facilitate meeting Xiong Lan.
Because before he came, he had a phone call with Xiong Lan, and the two made an appointment about the time and place of meeting. It's just that Xiong Lan is relatively low-key, she just talked about where she lives. This hotel was still Xia Jian called Tong Jie and asked her to look it up on the Internet.
Xia Jian first opened a room for himself, then washed his face, cleaned himself up, and then called Xiong Lan. Xiong Lan was naturally very happy when she heard that Xia Jian had arrived so soon, and the place where Xia Jian lived was also close to her home, so she immediately agreed, saying that she would arrive within twenty minutes.
Xiong Lan was able to rush over so quickly, which surprised Xia Jian. The average big man has a shelf, and he thinks that it would be good to be able to invite people out tomorrow night.
Xia Jian hurriedly booked a dining box on the phone, and he also rushed down as fast as he could. The facilities of the four-star hotel are naturally not much worse, the layout of the box is elegant and warm, and there is a bouquet of flowers on the dining table, which is specially requested by Xia Jian.
Xia Jian also walked around the room and checked the sound insulation of the house, and everything made him very satisfied. He wanted to order the dish, but after thinking about it, it was still a little inappropriate, so he asked for a pot of Tieguanyin and drank it slowly himself.
Xiong Lan was really punctual, Xia Jiancai drank a cup of tea, and she pushed open the door and walked in. She was followed by a girl in her twenties.
"Ouch, Mayor Xia! I've kept you waiting" Xiong Lan greeted her with a laugh and shook hands with Xia Jian.
Xia Jian said kind words and beckoned Xiong Lan to sit down. The girl who followed her put the bag in her hand on the table and quietly withdrew.
Xia Jian poured tea for Xiong Lan and said with a smile: "It's a bit abrupt to come, is it disturbing your rest?" ”
"Hey! Mayor Xia! Don't be so polite again, it's a bit of an outrage for you to say that. I am also a native of Pingyang Town, and it is my greatest honor to have the opportunity to do something practical for the people of Pingyang Town. You're not a few years older than Yongqiang, so you're also a nephew with me, so let's stop talking about any positions, okay? Xiong Lan said with a smile.
This woman is so well maintained, she looks like a woman in her fifties, and she looks like she is in her early thirties. Coupled with her decent and generous manners, and a different charm in the conversation, Xia Jian was distracted for a while.
Xiong Lan saw that Xia Jian stopped talking, thinking that she had said something wrong, so she smiled at Xia Jian and said, "What? Do you disagree with me saying this? “
When Xia Jian heard this, he came back to his senses, and he was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Auntie is right, I am a nephew here with you, if there is anything wrong, please give me a lot of advice."
"I don't dare to give advice, but in terms of social experience, I may be better than you. I've asked people to check your information, otherwise I won't help you," Xiong Lan laughed, and suddenly became serious.
Xia Jian didn't know what to say, it was the first time he had stage fright in the face of a woman. To tell the truth, Xiong Lan's aura is really a bit strong. This feeling Xia Jian only had when he met Mayor Lan of Bucheon City.
"Oh! Auntie, let's order first! Let's talk while eating" Xia Jian was a little speechless, and hurriedly handed over the menu.
Xiong Lan was not polite, she took the menu and read it, picked up the pen and wrote, and then put the written list on the table. Xia Jian hurriedly called the waiter with the list and whispered a few words.
"Xiao Xia! From your handling of Yongqiang, I can see that you are a good cadre who must do things for the people, so I pay special attention to you. Later, I learned that your background is not small, and you can give up the position of general manager of the group and come to the town to be a small mayor" Xiong Lan couldn't help but laugh when she said this.
Xia Jian sighed and said, "Auntie smiled, I wanted to do more things for the people of Pingyang Town, but there are many things that I can't control."
"It's already good. The current Pingyang Town is not only a face of your Pingdu City, but also a brand of our province. It's hard to believe that you can give so much for Pingyang Town," Xiong Lan said, letting out a long breath.
Xia Jian smiled and said: "To be honest, when I am the mayor of this town, I want to do more practical things for the people of Pingyang Town." You said that the monthly salary is not enough for me to go out for entertainment and the gas money for the car. I paid for such a hotel out of my own pocket. Even so, some people still don't understand me and give me problems everywhere."
"I know all this, so as soon as Yongqiang called, I immediately agreed to him. You can rest assured about this matter, for the sake of our Pingyang Town, I, Xiong Lan, will not let you down," Xiong Lan said, and smiled.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and walked in with a plate, and because Xia Jian had told him, several hot and cold dishes were served at one time.
"Auntie! Don't know what you're drinking? Is it red wine or white wine? Xia Jian asked cautiously.
Xiong Lan let out a sigh of relief and said, "The little fellow is here, of course I want to drink some with you, let's have a bottle of white!" can't be too much, just a bottle" These words came out of the mouth of a woman like Xiong Lan, which somewhat surprised Xia Jian.
China is wine culture. As soon as a lot of things are on the table, it feels different to talk about them. After a few glasses of white wine, Xia Jian spoke much more boldly, without the restraint he had at the beginning.
For a while, he and Xiong Lan chatted enthusiastically, and they felt that there was no age difference between them, just like old friends sitting together. This meal lasted for three hours, and when it was close to twelve o'clock, Xiong Lan was about to leave the information in Xia Jian's hand.
She smiled and said to Xia Jian: "You rest for one night and go back tomorrow!" We can't tell anyone about our meeting. It's like it never happened."
"Good! Xia Jian said, and opened the door, he was about to send Xiong Lan downstairs, but he didn't expect that the girl who sent Xiong Lan over was standing at the door waiting for Xiong Lan.
As soon as Xiong Lan got out of the door of the box, she didn't turn back, as if she didn't know Xia Jian, she walked straight into the elevator. Xia Jian also hurried back to the box with interest, and when he called the waiter to bury it, the waiter told him that the sheet in this room had been buried.
Xia Jian suddenly understood, Xiong Lan seemed to have confessed before she came, and when they were talking inside, her attendant had already buried the order.
Back in the hotel room, Xia Jian didn't feel a little sleepy. He first took a shower, and then lay on the bed and pondered about it, what kind of identity Xiong Lan was, he never figured it out, and he didn't dare to ask anyone if they didn't mention it just now.
Xiong Lan's identity may be a bit special, even her nephew Xiong Yongqiang doesn't know, he only knows that his aunt is a big man and is very powerful in the provincial capital.
With this question, Xia Jian fell asleep unconsciously. Because he had been driving for seven or eight hours, he still slept quite well when he fell asleep, and he didn't open his eyes until after eight o'clock in the morning.
He hurriedly got out of bed and washed. Suddenly, he remembered Yao Junli, the last time someone was hospitalized in the provincial capital, he had been here, and then what was her situation, he didn't ask again. This friend of his, who is not qualified at all, always forgets about other people's affairs.
Coming out of the bathroom, Xia Jian picked up his mobile phone and called Yao Junli. The phone was quickly connected, and Yao Junli on the phone laughed and said, "Mayor Xia! How did you remember to call me? “
Although Yao Junli was laughing, she could clearly hear that she was still a little unhappy. Xia Jian hurriedly laughed and said, "Look at what you said, how are you now?" Where are the people? “
"Oh! Thank you for your concern, everything is fine with me, I am on a break in the hotel in the provincial capital, what's wrong? Is there something looking for me, just say it" Yao Junli's tone was obviously a little stiff.
Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay!" I'm just asking casually, as long as you're in good health," Xia Jian finished speaking, and hung up the phone without waiting for Yao Junli to speak.
Although Yao Junli is a woman, she is really a good confidant for Xia Jian. Let's not talk about the happy time they had together, Yao Junli helped him a lot with Xia Jian.
The investment in several projects in Pingyang Town, if there is no Yao Junli, there will be no Wang Yihua, a wealthy man in Qingshan County, who will follow him to invest.
Xia Jian had breakfast at the hotel first, and then returned the house. He asked at the front desk about the route to Yao Junli's hotel, and quickly found his Daben and drove directly to find Yao Junli.
On the way, he also bought a bouquet of flowers, like this kind of flower delivery, he Xia Jian really did very little. As soon as the car got on the road, Xia Jian knew how to go this way.
It may be that after the rush hour at work, there are not many cars on the road, so Xia Jian only drove for more than half an hour, and he has arrived at Yao Junli's convenient hotel.
After parking the car, Xia Jian strode into the hall on the first floor with flowers. It just so happened that the manager on duty was inspecting the work in the hall on the first floor, and she knew Xia Jian, so without waiting for Xia Jian to speak, she hurried up to meet her.
"Hello Mr. Xia! Are you looking for someone? The duty manager asked with a smile.
Xia Jian nodded and asked softly, "Which room do you Mr. Yao live in?" I want to surprise her," Xia Jian said clearly. Otherwise, people will ask, don't you have contact? Since you contacted her, you don't know which room she is staying in. This is the general reasoning logic, so Xia Jian directly omitted it.
"Oh! Our Mr. Yao temporarily lives in the 808 luxury private room, you should have made an appointment! Although the female manager on duty said where Yao Junli lived, she still didn't forget to add another question, which was a kind of responsibility to their boss.
Xia Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I called her just now, and she said that she was in a hotel in the provincial capital, so I rushed over" Xia Jian said, turned around and left.
Take the elevator to the 8th floor. After Xia Jian stepped out of the elevator, he was a little relieved. Holding such a bouquet of flowers in his hand, he felt uncomfortable all over. When he came to room 808, Xia Jian raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after knocking twice, the door opened with a bang.
