Xiao Hui is Xiao Qiang's cousin, and now, facing a new situation, he also wants to learn from his cousin's example and climb up the ladder with women.

"Xiaowen, Lu Ming has been transferred to Nanguang City." Xiao Hui said to his wife Hao Xiaowen after eating a piece of spicy chicken.

"Oh? So is he up or flat? Hao Xiaowen looked at her husband and asked.

"Promoted, he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Nanguang Municipal Party Committee and the head of the Organization Department."

Hao Xiaowen smelled a hint of vinegar from her husband's tone, and she also said with a hint of jealousy: "This position is very important." The two of you graduated from college and embarked on your career at the same time, Lu Ming is going faster and faster, leaving you farther and farther. ”

Xiao Hui didn't want to listen to this, but he couldn't help but admit this reality in his heart. 25 years ago, Lu Ming and Xiao Hui graduated from university at the same time and embarked on a career in office. Five years ago, in 2007, Lu Ming became the secretary of the county party committee of Dongyang County, while Xiao Hui became the county magistrate of Xiping County, one step behind Lu Ming. And now, Lu Ming has been promoted to the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee and a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee, and he is still the county magistrate, so he is even further behind.

Xiao Hui looked at Hao Xiaowen and said jokingly: "You regret it, if you married Xiao Hui at the beginning, now you are the wife of a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of Organization, and her status is much higher than mine." ”

"If you're jealous, be jealous, don't talk to me." Hao Xiaowen reprimanded Xiao Hui. When she was in college, Hao Xiaowen was with Lu Ming at first. But his parents thought that Lu Ming's family was poor and sour, so they forced them to make them yellow. Later, Hao Xiaowen followed Xiao Hui again.

"Just kidding, don't be angry." Xiao Hui said with a grin.

Hao Xiaowen was silent, feeling that Xiao Hui was a little thick-skinned.

The husband and wife ate for a while, and Xiao Hui spoke again: "Lu Ming will come to our county to inspect the work in a few days." ”

Hao Xiaowen was still silent. She doesn't say anything, and it's not good to have a positive attitude or not. Positively, the husband will joke that she misses her ex-boyfriend; Not actively, this is an opportunity to climb the branches.

Xiao Hui said thoughtfully: "The secretary of the county party committee of our county will be transferred away immediately, and it depends on whether I can fill the vacancy." If you can't rise this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. The age is also over the bar. ”

Hao Xiaowen was still silent. But she has also been in officialdom for many years, and she is the director of the Xiping County Women's Federation, and she already understands what her husband is thinking.

Xiao Hui took a sip of Moutai wine and said: "Lu Ming's main task when he came to our county this time is to investigate and understand the matter of filling the vacancy of the county party secretary. His words will play a great role in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

Hao Xiaowen was still silent. She wanted to hear what her husband had to say.

Xiao Hui took another sip of Moutai, "Lu Ming is here this time, we must receive it well, and take out the bottle of 50-year-old Moutai." ”

"If you want to be entertained, don't pull me up. I am only the director of the county women's federation, and I don't have enough level to entertain. Hao Xiaowen's face was indifferent.

"Do we want to entertain you in private, you are also Lu Ming's old classmate, and you are ...... How can you not show up? Not only to show up, but also to be warmly received. Now personal relationships are very important, and when personal relationships are done well, big problems can be solved. ”

Hao Xiaowen said lightly: "I'm a little tired today, rest first, don't drink more, and rest early." Hao Xiaowen left the table after speaking. She fully understands her husband's thoughts.

On the evening of the third day of Lu Ming's inspection of Xiping County, he was invited by Xiao Hui to his home for a banquet.

Hao Xiaowen asked the most famous chef in the county to make a table of the most high-end dishes in the county. The chef was busy in the kitchen, and Hao Xiaowen followed. Seeing the chef put the squid fillet into the boiling water, the squid fillet immediately tightened and rolled up, and Hao Xiaowen's heart also tightened and rolled up. In the past two days, her heart may have felt this tightening. Xiao Hui asked her to receive Lu Ming well, not only to eat and drink, but also to imply that she should have a physical reception. In this way, Lu Ming can be completely and completely taken down. But her heart is up and down. First, he is the director of the county women's federation, and he is specifically against extramarital affairs and third parties, but now he wants to be a third party and engage in extramarital affairs, which is really awkward. And this is not a simple extramarital affair, it is purposeful, and there is a suspicion of sexual bribery, which makes it even more awkward. After graduating from college, she is the director of a county women's federation and the wife of the county magistrate, but now she wants to engage in sexual bribery, which is embarrassing. On the other hand, this is just my own idea on the one hand, and I don't know what about the other party, but the other party is the head of the organization department of the municipal party committee, the education cadre and the management cadre, can he accept this kind of bribe? If you don't accept it, not only will you hit the nail, but you will have to subtract points if you can't add points, and then the gains outweigh the losses. However, Lu Ming and I are our first love, so it's easier to deal with this relationship, right? Besides, it was a good sign that he could agree to come to the banquet at home. It's just a two-point meaning. Besides, Xiao Hui is right, this is his last chance to be promoted, and he can't be promoted this time. The age is about to pass the bar. You have to hurry up and work hard.

"Director Hao, is there cooking wine? Bring it to me. The chef's shout interrupted Hao Xiaowen's thoughts, and she hurriedly said, "Ah, there is cooking wine, I'll bring it to you." ”

Xiao Hui stood up with both hands and raised his glass to Lu Ming respectfully and said, "Minister Lu, thank you for coming, the humble house is full of brilliance!" ”

Hao Xiaowen also stood up and raised her glass and said, "I arranged this table of meals, vegetarian wine and thin dishes, and I also ask Minister Lu not to laugh." ”

Lu Ming raised his glass with one hand and swung down with the other, and said, "What are you guys doing here?" Why are you so polite, we are old classmates, so polite to see the outside. Sit down, sit down. ”

Xiao Hui said: "Although we are old classmates, but now Minister Lu is a superior leader, and he has come to inspect our county, but our subordinates can't make times, and we don't dare to make times." ”

Hao Xiaowen beat a side drum on the side: "Yes, Minister Lu can come to our house for dinner, which is to give us a big face, and we are afraid that we will not be respectful." ”

Lu Ming waved his hand: "I came to your house to visit old classmates, and here we want to treat each other as old classmates." If you want me to eat and drink well, don't be polite, talk to each other's old classmates, and be relaxed and happy. Come, let's have a drink and toast to the old classmates. With that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Minister Lu is really bold, and the old classmates admire him!" Xiao Hui also drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Lao Lu, your aged Moutai tastes really good, it's comfortable to drink!" Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Minister Lu likes to drink more, there is nothing else in the cold house, there are still a few bottles of good wine." Xiao Hui said with a smile.

Lu Ming waved his hand: "Why do you still call me Minister Lu?" Just call me Lao Lu, or an old classmate, is that kind? ”

Hao Xiaowen smiled and said: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, old classmate, you try this squirrel mandarin fish, this is definitely a live fish killed, I am staring at it with my own eyes, it is very fresh." ”

Lu Ming picked up a piece of fish and ate it, and praised: "Xian, it's really delicious, delicious!" He looked at Hao Xiaowen and said, "I also ate fish together at school, but at that time, I couldn't afford to eat such a precious fish, so I just fried small white fish." ”

Hao Xiaowen smiled and said: "Yes, life in college is poor, but it is also unforgettable." She glanced at Lu Ming meaningfully.

Xiao Hui continued: "Yes, the youth is unforgettable. The friendship between old classmates is the deepest. ”

"Here, toast to the unforgettable years of youth!" Lu Ming raised his glass again.

The more they talked, the hotter they became, and the more they drank, the more excited they became. Xiao Hui quickly drank high, and he stammered: "Lao Lu, I can't drink enough, I'm dizzy, and I can't talk well, don't laugh." ”

Hao Xiaowen continued: "If you want to be dizzy, go into the house and rest, it's not good to lose your temper in front of Minister Lu." Rude to superiors. ”

Xiao Hui stood up, "Lao Lu, then I, I will be lost first." With Xiaowen accompanying you, you must drink well. Stay at home tonight, and be sure to drink well. ”

Hao Xiaowen helped Xiao Hui to the bedroom to lie down, and then came back to sit next to Lu Ming to accompany him to continue drinking.

At this time, Lu Ming spoke much more casually. He stared at Hao Xiaowen and said, "Xiaowen, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so beautiful, more charming than when you were young." ”

Hao Xiaowen chuckled: "How can I have a beautiful sister-in-law, and my demeanor can't be compared." At this time, she felt that the matter was three or four points certain.

"She was okay when she first got married, but after giving birth to children, she was always sick, and now her face is yellow and thin, and her waist is a little bent, like an old lady, ten years older than you, no, twenty years old." Lu Ming said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"Then it's not easy for you all these years." Hao Xiaowen said sympathetically.
