The acquaintance Ma Dong met in the "Young Boys and Girls" bar in Sanli Village, the imperial capital, was Duan Lian, the son of Li Mingming, member of the Standing Committee of the Ningbei Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization. Duan Lian came to the imperial capital to do business, and after dinner, he had nothing to do, so he was invited here by local friends to have fun.

Duan Lian introduced the two friends around him to Ma Dong, and Ma Dong also introduced Ning Xin, who came down from singing on stage, to each other. Duan Lian said that he would invite Ma Dong to dinner tomorrow, and it would be up to Ma Dong to decide what to eat.

After breaking up with Duan Lian and the others, Ning Xin asked, "Brother Ma, you said that Duan Lian is Li Mingming's son, why is his surname Duan?" Stepfather? ”

"What stepfather? Duan Lian follows his mother's surname, and Gao Gan does things differently from us ordinary people! ”

Duan Lian's aunt's family lives in Million Village, and his aunt and his wife are both retired veteran cadres of the National Defense and Science and Technology Commission, and their children are not around, Duan Lian basically lives in his aunt's house as long as he comes to the imperial capital.

It is a great joy to meet old acquaintances in other places, since Duan Lian said that he would also have a banquet for Ma Dong and Ning Xin, Ma Dong was not polite, and asked to eat roast duck by name, Duan Lian chose the place of invitation "Xin Million Roast Duck Restaurant Million Village Store".

Speaking from the heart, Ma Dong had only heard of the "Juquande Roast Duck Restaurant" in the capital before, and now he knew from Duan Lian's introduction that most of the people who like to eat roast duck in the capital choose roast duck restaurants like Cheap Fang and Xin Million, and the "Juquande Roast Duck Restaurant" is mainly a place where Chinese and foreign tourists go to.

Duan Lian's appointment time was half past eleven at noon, and Ma Dong and Ning Xin took a taxi more than ten minutes in advance.

On the eve of lunch, in front of the "Xin Million Roast Duck Restaurant Million Zhuang Store", there are still a few vacant parking spaces waiting for a latest, and a latest-model S series black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of the roast duck restaurant on time at half past eleven o'clock.

The car door opened, Duan Lian and two other men stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz, these three men with lofty spirits could completely match the car, so that the people who saw it around them all looked up at the footsteps of the march.

Ma Dong greeted the door and first shook hands with Duan Lian, who was walking in front.

"Awesome, brother is here early!" Duan Lian said with a big grin.

Ma Dong stretched out his hand to Ding Shilei, who was wearing a blue suit: "Brother Ding is good! ”。

The last person who shook hands with Ma Dong and exchanged greetings was Wang Xiangdang, who was wearing a gray checkered suit.

"Brother, where's your pretty girl?" Duan Lian asked.

Ma Dong said very politely, Ning Xin was waiting for the three brothers in the private room.

"Brother, it's been a long time since we've been drinking together, and I've always wanted to thank you for a good meal, but I haven't been able to do it. I really didn't expect that my brother's long-cherished wish was fulfilled in the imperial capital today. Duan Lian walked as he spoke.

After Ma Dong went to work in Jiangcheng, although he didn't eat with Duan Lian much, as long as he returned to Ningyang, no matter how busy he was, he would take time to visit Duan Lian, and every time he met, he would always bring him a lot of property for various reasons.

Ma Dong walked behind the three of them and responded, "Brother Duan, you and I are still polite!" Brother, my biggest gain from coming to the capital this time is to get acquainted with Brother Ding and Brother Wang, which is really worth the trip. ”

The four of them walked as they talked, and soon came to the private room on the second floor, where the beautiful and dazzling Ning Xin smiled and nodded to several men, her beauty and sexiness made all men's eyes focus on her.

Duan Lian invited Wang Xiangdang, the eldest of several people, to sit on the guest of honor, Duan Lian sat on the left side of the king, Ding Shilei sat on the right side of the king, and on the left side of Duan Lian were Ma Dong and Ning Xin.

After a few rounds of wine, Ma Dong raised his glass again and said, "This glass of wine is an invitation wine, and the brother officially invited Brother Ding and Brother Wang to Jiangcheng as guests." ”

When meeting at the "Young Boys and Girls" last night, Duan Lian gave Ma Dong a brief introduction to Ding and Wang: Ding Shilei's father was Ding Zhanxun, the commander of a group army; Wang Xiangdang's Laozi Wang Wenzhong is the head of the Central Committee, the group, and the department, and the deputy minister, so how could Ma Dong let go of this kind of opportunity.

After the toast, Ma Dong picked up the three-axis painting and said: "Three brothers, the new year is coming soon, it is a great honor to meet you in the capital, my brother did not bring any gifts, this is the three paintings I asked for in the capital: one is the character of Ai Zeng; One is Wang Zhou's donkey; One is Jin Kuzen's eagle. Now it's all rolled, I don't know which one is which, the three brothers just rely on luck to take it. ”

"Brother, that's awesome!" Duan Lian praised, "Any one of these three paintings is worth a lot of money." ”

Wang Xiangdang said: "Brother, you are so generous when we meet for the first time, my brother deserves it!" ”

Ding Shilei also said: "Yes, brother, we are in vain, and we are restless!" ”

Ma Dong said: "Two brothers, if you talk like this, you will see the outside, there are more than one billion people in the vast sea of people, isn't it fate that I can meet the two brothers." Brother Duan knows that I am a person, and he is willing to make friends with capable people in the world, if you two reject me, it is obvious that you don't take me as a brother from a small place! ”

"I said two brothers, my brother is a real person, and he is bright and awesome in doing things! Didn't I introduce you to the two of you in the car last night? I think you're welcome, you two! Duan Lian said.

"In this way, if we are polite, it is really a bit of a pretence." The king said to the party, "Brother, the coming day will be long, brother, I won't promise anything here, let's see you in the matter!" ”

"Yes, Brother Wang is right! See you later! Ding Shilei agreed.

After Duan Lian said "yes", everyone raised their glasses and touched each other.
