There are three empty seats at Xu Chunting's table, which are reserved for Feng Qianru, Peng Yuanzheng and Xu Xiao. (--Net.)
Peng Yuanzheng smiled calmly and sat there. Seeing Dongfang Yan looking at him with extremely complicated eyes, he couldn't help but nod and smile at him, and said softly, "Secretary Dongfang!"
Dongfangyan nodded.
Xu Chunting glanced at the two of them, raised his glass with a smile, and said, "Today is my mother's eightieth birthday. We have a family banquet to celebrate her birthday. There are almost no outsiders. Dongfang came to the province to do business and happened to catch up, so he came over to join in the fun -
—There are also two juniors, Yuan Zheng and Qian Ru, who are all our own."
“With this first glass of wine, let’s wish my old mother good health, longevity and prosperity!”
Xu Chunting took the lead and drank it all in one gulp.
The other children of the Xu family also followed suit. Feng Qianru took a sip of red wine. Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and drank the white wine in the glass. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the man who was known in the city as not drinking white wine had a heavy drinking capacity.
The shallow Oriental Rock is also poured down without changing the color of the ground.
In fact, Dongfangyan is not a small drinker, nor does he not drink liquor. Think about it, he has been in the Provincial Party Committee Office for so many years and there are so many different wine shops, how could he not drink. It's just that his status is different now, he is the top leader in Xin'an City
, no matter what he said, who among the cadres below would dare to be serious with him?
But on today's occasion, he was already a little flattered. How dare he not drink this glass of wine to wish Mrs. Xu a birthday.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm. Because it was a family banquet, everyone was a member of the Xu family, so there were no complicated rules in the officialdom. Even Xu Chunting relaxed his temper and opened his heart to work with his younger brother and brother-in-law.
Had two glasses of wine.
From the beginning to the end, Xu Chunting did not introduce the identities of Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru. Judging from the cordial and "friendly" attitude of Xu Chunting and Mrs. Xu towards Peng Yuanzheng, Dongfang Yan was increasingly shocked.
Peng Yuanzheng was a junior. He stood up and toasted one by one, starting with Mrs. Feng and finally it was Dongfangyan's turn. (--Net.)
"Secretary Dongfang, it's my first time to have a drink with the leader, so I'll do it first as a token of respect." Peng Yuanzheng held the small wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Dongfang Yan stood up with a smile, "Comrade Yuanzheng is too polite, I'll do it too!"
If it were in the city, no matter how sincerely Peng Yuanzheng toasted, Dongfangyan would only touch his lips, let alone stand up.
Xu Chunting sat there and interjected with a faint smile, "Dongfang, Yuan Zheng is working in your city, you should pay more attention to his growth!"
This is the first time Xu Chunting speaks for Peng Yuanzheng today, and it is also the only time, this is the only one. But this sentence is of great importance to Dongfang Yan.
Dongfang Yan hurriedly smiled respectfully and said, "Secretary Xu, don't worry, Comrade Yuanzheng has both political integrity and talent, outstanding abilities, and comprehensive qualities. He is a young reserve cadre that our city is focusing on inspecting, and he will have a bright future."
Xu Chunting smiled slightly and turned around to continue talking to his sister.
"Secretary Dongfang, thank you." Peng Yuanzheng smiled, and Dongfang Yan patted his shoulder, "Sit, sit."
As she was talking, Mrs. Xu suddenly took out two red envelopes from her pocket with a smile and said, "Yuanzheng, Qianru, the first time grandma saw you two children, she gave each of you a red envelope! I can't let you.
It’s no use calling me grandma!”
Peng Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, you are so polite. We came to celebrate your birthday today and we didn't even bring any gifts. How can we ask for your old red envelope?"
Feng Qianru also smiled and declined, "Grandma, as long as you are in good health, we as juniors will be very happy, and we don't dare to ask for red envelopes!"
The old lady raised her eyebrows, pretending to be unhappy and said, "Hey, if you don't want the red envelope from grandma, do you think you don't think of me as grandma anymore?"...
Yuan Xiulan smiled at the side and said, "Yuanzheng, Qianru, this is a small favor. If you don't accept it, grandma will be unhappy. (--wang.)"
Xu Chunting also smiled and turned to look at Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru.
Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and knew that this red envelope must have been prepared by the Xu family and was just given by the old lady. To a certain extent, this could be regarded as a manifestation of the Xu family's invisible show of goodwill to the Feng family. If he did not accept it,
I'm afraid it will make Xu Chunting unhappy.
He took it with a wry smile, "Thank you, grandma!"
Mrs. Xu smiled happily, "That's great. When you get married, grandma will give you a big red envelope!"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled, and Feng Qianru's pretty face turned red.
Xu Xiao stood aside with a grimace and stretched out his hand, "Grandma, why don't you have my red envelope? Grandma, you are too partial."
Mrs. Xu smiled and patted Xu Xiao's hand, "You kid, you don't have enough red envelopes? This year's Chinese New Year, you were the first one to come to ask for red envelopes from grandma!"
…
…
When Mrs. Xu's birthday banquet ended, it was already evening. When the old lady left, she held Feng Qianru and Peng Yuanzheng's hands tightly and repeatedly told them to come to the provincial capital to see her often in the future. She would not come until they agreed.
The car leaves.
Xu Chunting and Yuan Xiulan stood at the entrance of Wolong Villa, smiling as they bid farewell to their relatives.
Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru stood at the corner of the lobby of the villa, took out the red envelope given by Mrs. Xu, opened it, and saw that there was no "New Year's money" as they imagined, but a glittering gold chain with a
A delicate little gold lock in the shape of a heart.
He was startled and said, "Qianru, look at yours."
Feng Qianru followed her words and took out another red envelope to look at it. Sure enough, the red envelope given to Feng Qianru also contained the same object.
Peng Yuanzheng didn't know the price of gold jewelry in this era, but two gold necklaces with gold locks should be expensive. He didn't expect that the Xu family would give such a heavy gift. He wanted to return it but felt it was inappropriate.
, I thought about it for a long time and finally put it away.
"Brother Yuanzheng, take it, but I have to tell my father and mother when I get back. As for grandpa, I think it's better to forget it, otherwise, grandpa will scold us both to death." Feng Qianru stuck out her tongue playfully,
That charming and charming look made Peng Yuanzheng's heart heat up for a while, and he couldn't help but step forward and hug her.
Feng Qianru's face turned red, she struggled for a moment and whispered, "Brother Yuanzheng, everyone else is watching."
Cough cough cough! Xu Xiao coughed with an exaggerated expression on the side. Feng Qianru suddenly pushed Peng Yuanzheng away and ran to the side.
Over there, Xu Chunting turned around and saw Dongfang Yan still standing on one side, so he smiled and said, "Dongfang."
Dongfang Yan quickly stepped forward to accompany him and said with a smile, "Secretary Xu!"
"Xin'an is an old industrial city with a solid foundation. But whether it can take advantage of the current trend of reform and opening up to reach a higher level depends on the work level of your municipal party committee and government team."
Xu Chunting waved his hand and said calmly.
"Secretary Xu, please rest assured that we will work hard and live up to the trust of the leaders of the provincial party committee." Dongfang Yan said solemnly with his straight waist.
"Deepen reforms and do a good job in the economy. Development is the top priority, and the economy is the primary productive force. But while we are focusing on reforms and the economy, we must maintain overall stability!" There seemed to be something in Xu Chunting's words, which vaguely pointed to his recent follow-up with the market.
The conflict between Changzhou Guangli.
Dongfang Yan felt nervous and did not reply immediately, but his attitude became more humble and respectful.
"The Provincial Party Committee is basically quite satisfied with the work of your Municipal Party Committee team. Recently, in order to strengthen your Standing Committee team, the Provincial Party Committee decided to approve your nomination and add Comrade Qin Feng, Secretary of the Xin'an District Party Committee, as a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee... Okay
, Dongfang, go back to Xin'an and work hard, I believe you have the ability and level."….
"Thank you Secretary Xu and the provincial party committee leaders for their trust in our municipal party committee." Dongfangyan was shocked when he heard that Qin Feng had been added to the standing committee. It felt a bit sudden. He had recommended Qin Feng to the provincial party committee but was rejected by the provincial party committee, but this time
But a sudden turn of events occurred - what does this mean? Is there someone behind Qin Feng? No? A lot of words
Dongfang Yan still feels that he knows Qin Feng relatively well. If Qin Feng had someone in the province, he would not have left the position of deputy mayor last time.
Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru walked side by side to say goodbye, "Secretary Xu, we are going back too."
"Well, please pay attention to safety on the road, and come to the province to see your Grandma Xu more often, so that she doesn't just nag in my ears." Xu Chunting glanced at Xu Xiao with a smile, hinting to her daughter to send a car to take the two back.
Dongfang Yan smiled and said, "Comrade Yuanzheng, let's ride in my car together."
"Thank you, Secretary Dongfang." Peng Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement with a smile.
Dongfang Yan strode to his car and waved to Chen Shanning. Chen Shanning ran over and said respectfully, "Boss, are we going back right now?"
Dongfang Yan said calmly, "Xiao Chen, you go home and stay for one night, and don't come back to Xin'an with me today - don't say anything to others about what happened today."
Chen Shanning used to work in the Provincial Party Committee Office and his home was in the provincial capital. Suddenly he heard Dongfang Yan ask him to go home for one night. He thought it was a little strange at first. How could he not be allowed to follow him? But he immediately heard Dongfang Yan laugh again.
He greeted Peng Yuanzheng, "Come on, Comrade Yuanzheng, Miss Qianru, get in the car!"
Chen Shanning suddenly realized and blushed in embarrassment: It turned out that Dongfang Yan didn't care about him, but that the car could only seat four people, so his secretary became redundant.
Feng Qianru took the initiative to get into the passenger seat. Chen Shanning opened the car door and said respectfully, "Leader, Mayor Peng, please get in the car!"
Quietly, in Chen Shanning's mouth, "Little Mayor Peng" was transformed into "Mayor Peng", which probably reflected his true mentality, and he himself may not have realized this at all.
Dongfang Yan got in the car, Peng Yuanzheng glanced at Chen Shanning, smiled lightly and said, "Thank you." Then he also got in the car.
The driver immediately started the car and drove away from Wolong Villa in the dim night. Chen Shanning stood there and gritted his teeth. He suddenly remembered that this place was far away from the city and he couldn't even take a taxi. What was waiting for him would be a ten-kilometer mountain road.
After a long journey, his face turned bitter, he cursed a few times secretly, but he walked down the mountain depressedly.
