The whole journey was silent, and we soon arrived at Yehai Hotel.
At the entrance of Yehai Hotel, there was a stainless steel signboard with red paper pasted on it and the words "Reunion of the Third Class of Xin'an No. 1 Senior High School." Peng Yuanzheng glanced through the car window.
He secretly thought that he and Li Xueyan actually came from the same school, but Li Xueyan was four grades ahead of him.
Li Xueyan is three years older than him and started working nearly four years earlier. This shows that she went to school one year earlier than Peng Yuanzheng.
Lao Huang parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car without saying hello to Peng Yuanzheng. She was about to walk to the hotel, when another car came from behind, and a young man of medium height jumped out of the car.
The man came over laughing and greeted Li Xueyan from all the way, "Secretary Li, old classmate!"
Peng Yuanzheng was sitting in the passenger seat and glanced at the person. He turned out to be an acquaintance—Fang Jialiang, the Organization and Human Resources Section Chief of the Municipal Education Bureau. He was also a member of the "Huangpu Phase I" reserve cadre training class organized by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
of students.
Peng Yuanzheng and Fang Jialiang had dealt with each other several times at work and had dinner together several times. Because Fang Jialiang is responsible for the organizational and publicity work of the education system, reports on several activities organized by the Municipal Education Bureau have been publicized.
He was "reviewed" by the News Department of the Ministry of Education. Later, Peng Yuanzheng taught Tai Chi to people from the Education Bureau, so he was considered a relatively familiar person.
Fang Jialiang strode over and was about to shake hands with Li Xueyan and suddenly saw Peng Yuanzheng in the passenger seat of Santana. He smiled unexpectedly and raised his hand to hold the car door and open it. Lao Huang was about to start the car.
As he left, he saw that Mayor Peng seemed to have an acquaintance, so he released his foot from the clutch.
"Expedition? Why are you here?" Fang Jialiang laughed, "Why are you here?"
Peng Yuanzheng had to get out of the car and shake hands with Fang Jialiang. Fang Jialiang glanced at Li Xueyan who was standing on one side, then looked at Peng Yuanzheng, and suddenly realized, "I understand, you and Li Xueyan work in the same town now, right?"
?Oh oh oh oh, I understand! I understand!!”
Fang Jialiang patted Peng Yuanzheng on the shoulder enthusiastically and chuckled, "Let's go, we've already come, what's there to be embarrassed about? I said Yuanzheng, you are very good, Li Xueyan is the star of our class,
You are still the secretary of the Communist Youth League, and this time the famous lady has an owner, so those boys no longer need to chant the curse."
Li Xueyan stood there quietly, her face slightly red, but she did not explain anything.
Peng Yuanzheng frowned, and wanted to make it clear to Fang Jialiang, but saying this in public would definitely embarrass Li Xueyan. It would be fine if Li Xueyan didn't treat him well, but the problem was that Li Xueyan was very mean to him, and Peng Yuanzheng was so mean to him that afternoon.
Yuanzheng had just rejected her once with silence.
Peng Yuanzheng hesitated again and again, but gritted his teeth and collected himself. He turned around and said hello to Old Huang, "Old Huang, please go back first. We will take a taxi back in the evening, so you don't need to pick us up."
A trace of joy flashed between Li Xueyan's brows, which seemed to dispel the gloom that had shrouded the whole afternoon.
She walked slowly beside Peng Yuanzheng and Fang Jialiang, and the three of them entered the lobby of Yehai Hotel together.
…
…
Li Xueyan's class reunion didn't seem to be large in scale. There were only about 20 people here, both men and women. Most of them were decently dressed, but of course there were some who were "dark" in terms of clothing and temperament.
They booked the largest room in the Yehai Hotel, a large room specially designed for work gatherings, and a specially designed and installed large dining table with 38 seats.
Everything that should come has come, and everything that shouldn't come will definitely not come. It's all at this point.
Li Xueyan's high school classmates were sitting in their respective seats. Yuan Hainan, the organizer of this class reunion, was sitting in the "host" position. He initiated the party and was the one who invited the guests.
When Yuan Hainan saw Li Xueyan and the others walking in, his eyes lit up, he stood up with a smile and said, "Xueyan, Xueyan! Come on, the place here is reserved for you."
Yuan Hainan patted the chair beside him.
"Xueyan! Li Xueyan!"
At the same time, several female classmates smiled and greeted Li Xueyan.
"Hello, Hainan. Hello, Xiaoyan!" Li Xueyan waved her hand with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm late, sorry!"
At this time, Yuan Hainan and others discovered the stranger Peng Yuanzheng, who was standing side by side with Fang Jialiang, smiling and calm.
Peng Yuanzheng is not the kind of "beautiful as a flower" young boy, but his figure is slender, tall, sunny, handsome and elegant, which makes people feel bright. Fang Jialiang chuckled and looked at Li Xueyan.
In his opinion, Peng Yuanzheng was brought by Li Xueyan and was her boyfriend, so naturally she had to introduce him.
Li Xueyan's pretty face blushed, but it faded away in an instant. After all, she was a person who lived in official circles, so it was instinctive to adjust and control her emotions.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on Peng Yuanzheng, she strode back, stood next to Peng Yuanzheng and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is -"
Li Xueyan paused for a moment. Just as she was about to purse her lips and continue speaking, Fang Jialiang burst out laughing "impatiently", "Xueyan, I'm sorry...haha! Let me introduce it to you.
This is the famous Peng Yuanzheng in our city! He was the former head of the Information Section of the Propaganda Department and deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Information Office, and is now the mayor of Yunshui Town."
This shows that Peng Yuanzheng is well-known in Xin'an City. Many people may not know him, but they must have heard of his name, because he used to be in the news, TV and newspapers.
Li Xueyan's classmates all smiled and said nothing, subconsciously thinking that Peng Yuanzheng was Li Xueyan's boyfriend. Because today is a class reunion, those who can be present are either classmates or their family members or girlfriends (boyfriends).
A few girls started to make noises, and Li Xueyan blushed, then turned to look at Peng Yuanzheng, with a hint of sweetness but also a hint of complexity and bitterness in her eyes.
With everyone standing here, Peng Yuanzheng naturally had no way out and could only bite the bullet.
He smiled, nodded to everyone, then followed Li Xueyan and sat down on two empty seats next to each other.
Along the way, many people stood up and smiled, shook hands with Peng Yuanzheng and exchanged greetings. Most of them were people who had admired Peng Yuanzheng's name for a long time, and some were department-level cadres in Xin'an City and County Government.
Yuan Hainan, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned and his face suddenly became unsightly.
He was reluctantly considered one of Li Xueyan's suitors, but because he was firmly rejected by Li Xueyan a year ago, everything became a thing of the past.
But even though it is "past tense", seeing that the person you like has a boyfriend, naturally you feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
In fact, his good mood of organizing a class reunion dinner dissipated a lot.
…
…
Yuan Hainan sat as the main escort, and Fang Jialiang sat as the assistant escort. Yuan Hainan brought six glasses of beer, and Fang Jialiang also brought six glasses. It is said that together, it is exactly twelve months of wine for a year. These two rounds of wine were brought down
, some people who are too drunk are 50% to 60% drunk.
After drinking, the atmosphere became more lively, with laughter and laughter.
But Fang Jialiang greeted him again, switching to white wine midway.
Peng Yuanzheng sat there, listening and smiling most of the time. Occasionally, he smiled and said a few words to the people nearby. When Li Xueyan was chatting with her old classmates, she would also take care of Peng Yuanzheng's mood from time to time and look back.
Say a few words to him in a low voice, for fear of neglecting him.
Yuan Hainan's eyes kept glancing this way, and the jealousy flashing in his eyes was too obvious. Many people present knew that Yuan Hainan had failed to chase Li Xueyan back then, and seeing him full of "envy, jealousy, and hatred"
It's like seeing fire clearly.
Fang Jialiang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Expedition, let's go together! What a fate that we can meet here!"
Fang Jialiang's meaningful words and his initiative to drink with Peng Yuanzheng made Yuan Hainan feel even more unhappy.
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and raised his glass and said, "Okay. I haven't had a drink with you in my old house for a long time. Will you go to our town another day to inspect and guide the work, and let me do my duty as a landlord?"
Fang Jialiang took a sip and then said with a smile, "I really want to go to your place to have a look - the schools in your town are doing very well. Recently, the city bureau wants to build your Yunshui Junior High School into a model project.
, promote it throughout the city! I must go and see it. With you as an old friend and Xueyan as an old classmate, I went to Yunshui Town. If you don’t treat me, I will definitely scold you!"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled.
Li Xueyan also laughed and scolded, "Fang Jialiang, I haven't settled the score with you yet. Last time you promised to give our town's junior high school a place as a model worker in the city's education system, but then you gave it to someone else and deceived me. You
You still want us to treat you, no way! If you want to treat us, you can, just fill up the quota first!"
Seeing Li Xueyan mentioning the old words again, Fang Jialiang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Auntie, I have explained to you so many times that I promised you, but then our leader changed his mind. You said this is what the leader has decided.
How dare I speak?"
"Expedition, don't you think? You have also worked as a section chief in an agency, and you know how uncomfortable it is to be caught in the cracks! If you want power but not power, and if you want benefits but no benefits, I want to learn from you and go to the grassroots level.
Let’s do it as a township mayor.”
"Our town is still short of a deputy mayor, will you come?" Li Xueyan said with a smile. Of course she was not really complaining, but joking.
Fang Jialiang was speechless. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Xueyan, "You must make me mad! I am also a cadre at the department level after all. You want me to go down and be the deputy mayor? You think too highly of me, don't you?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yuan Hainan also picked up the wine glass, stared at Peng Yuanzheng, and said loudly, "Mayor Peng, I have long admired your reputation, and today I met you and it is indeed well-deserved. Come on, it is fate that we can meet each other. Let's drink this glass of wine!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp without waiting for Peng Yuanzheng to say anything.
