Dong Xuebin, who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, received a call from Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Xinglong.
"Xiao Dong, the county party committee dance will be held again tonight, do you know?" Zhao Xinglong said.
Dong Xuebin threw the toothbrush into the jar, "Dance? I haven't heard of that. I've been running business with the following for the past two days."
"It is a dance held once a month. I proposed it to the secretary in order to strengthen the cultural and entertainment life of the cadres and increase the exchanges and communication between comrades." Zhao Xinglong explained that Dong Xuebin had only been in the county for a year, so he explained:
"The dance was stopped when Secretary Chang was in office, and I proposed to the Secretary that it should be reopened after the new year. Tonight is the first one, which is quite grand. I would like to thank the Secretary, the county magistrate, and many leaders from various departments will be there. If your unit is okay,
, please go there on behalf of the China Merchants Group in the evening, it will be a good time to have contact with the leaders of various departments, and it will also be helpful for you to carry out your work."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "County Magistrate Zhao, how can I dance?"
"Haha, you don't have to dance. If you don't know how to dance, just dance."
Dong Xuebin thought it was so simple. If so-and-so invited me to dance, and my friend said he wouldn’t dance, that would be a loss of face. This would offend someone. After hanging up, Dong Xuebin had no choice but to go back to the house to change clothes.
, took the bag and went out. Xiang Daofa is really good at doing things. Whether it was the cadres Spring Festival Gala or this dance, he really values this kind of activity. If you have some free time, can you do more serious things?
Half past eight.
When he came to work at China Merchants Bureau, Dong Xuebin happened to meet Lin Pingping at the entrance of the compound.
After entering the unit together, Dong Xuebin casually asked about the chicken manure treatment project.
Lin Pingping's pretty face broke out into a smile, and she said: "It went surprisingly well. After I came out of Mr. Peng's house yesterday, I made another phone call in the evening. As a result, Mr. Peng actually canceled the inspection to the neighboring county and did not leave.
, it seems that Xiao Huer has said a lot of good things for us. I checked his conversation on the phone and found that Mr. Peng is not as tough as before, and asked me to take him to inspect the chicken manure treatment plant again today.
Address, I think Mr. Peng is 80% interested in investing, so our chances of retaining him should be great."
Dong Xuebin smiled and nodded, "That's good, you can catch it carefully."
"Yes." Lin Pingping still didn't understand why Xiao Hu'er suddenly became so fierce with Dong Xuebin.
"By the way, Sister Lin." There was no one around, so Dong Xuebin's title was more casual.
When Lin Pingping heard this, she hurriedly said, "Just call me Xiao Lin."
"I haven't gone to work yet, so there are so many things to pay attention to." Dong Xuebin respects people very much, especially those who respect him. Generally, those who are older than him don't care what they call them in terms of working hours, but in private Dong Xuebin still
Be more casual, such as calling her Sister Lin or Luo Haiting or Sister Luo. This will also help to bring the relationship closer. After all, Lin Pingping is several years older than Dong Xuebin even though she is older. "...can you dance?"
Lin Pingping hesitated, "It's just a little bit, you?"
Dong Xuebin said: "There is a dance in the county tonight at the county party committee guest house. Can you attend on behalf of the Investment Promotion Bureau?"
Lin Pingping was a little apologetic and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I agreed with my son to take him to a movie tonight, and I bought the tickets. This..." And she is not of a high level, so how dare she represent China Merchants Group.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "It's important to spend time with your children, it's okay."
From the side, Luo Haiting, who is wearing a long skirt, seems to have just arrived on an electric bicycle and is coming out of the bicycle parking shed.
Lin Pingping blinked, "Director, Director Luo should be a good dancer."
"Oh? Really?" Dong Xuebin was a little surprised, he really didn't see it.
Back in the office, Dong Xuebin sat on a chair and lit a cigarette. He went through all the cadres of China Merchants Bureau in his mind. He found that his understanding of them was still only superficial. For example, Lin Pingping, who had just started to contact this woman,
The impression she gave him was that she was capable and pretty, a very down-to-earth woman, but who would have thought that as an unmarried woman, she already had a four or five-year-old son? And Luo Haiting, when she first came here, she thought that Luo Haiting was her elder.
Mom's personality is similar, very conservative, virtuous and stable, but the more she gets to know Dong Xuebin, the more she discovers that Luo Haiting has no ambition at all. She basically leaves her work to the people below. Except for the work assigned by the leader, she basically doesn't bother to take care of anything.
, she also likes to dress up very much, and the impression she had when we first met was all faked by her.
Dong Xuebin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but think about it, his posture in front of them was not fake at all?
noon.
In the cafeteria.
After eating, he sat at a table near the window. Dong Xuebin looked not far away and called out: "Director Luo."
As soon as Luo Haiting saw it, she came over with a meal and sat opposite Director Dong, knowing that she had something to do with her. Today, Luo Haiting was dressed very gorgeously, with her hair in a bun, an embroidered knitted sweater, a long skirt, and the makeup on her face also changed the freckles at the corners of her eyes.
It was covered to about seven or eight points, and the lipstick was shining brightly on the lips. The whole person added a bit of mature charm, not like a forty-year-old, but at a quick glance, he was thirty-five or sixteen years old.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebin said to himself that you are getting better and better at dressing up every day.
Dong Xuebin looked a little strange, but other staff members and cadres had long been used to it. In fact, in the first two days when Dong Xuebin came here, Luo Haiting was dressed in a suit and professional attire, which made all the staff members feel weird.
The main reason is that everyone has long been used to Director Luo's ostentatious behavior. This day is the same. It is probably because Director Luo felt that Director Dong was easy to talk to, so he slowly let go and returned to his original character.
Luo Haiting gave him a smile on her lips, "Director, are you looking for me?"
She still has the same smile as before, but with her current dress, her charm is clearly visible.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Sister Luo, I heard that you are a good dancer?"
"...Well, I know a little bit about it." Luo Haiting said suspiciously.
"The county party committee dance is going to be held tonight. The first one is quite special, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to go. The subsequent monthly dances won't matter. Well, so I want you to attend."
Luo Haiting's eyes moved, "Shall I be your dance partner?"
Uh, I didn't say that.
Dong Xuebin said: "I won't go, right? I'm not very good at dancing. You can just represent the China Merchants Group and participate."
"...That's okay." Luo Haiting also likes to participate in this kind of activity.
"How about dancing with your spouse? You can go with your family, too."
Hearing this, Luo Haiting stiffened her voice and said, "No, he can't jump." Speaking of this, she seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Oh..." Speaking of family members, Dong Xuebin thought of Xie Huilan. Thinking that Sister Xie would also go and dance with others, Dong Xuebin's eyes twitched and he added, "Me neither
I definitely won’t go. If I’m done, I might go over and have a look.” He had been thinking that he couldn’t go and embarrass himself, but he had forgotten about Sister Xie. Dong Xuebin was very protective of his future wife, of course.
I don’t want to thank Huilan for letting someone hug me.
After talking for a few more words, the two began to eat face to face.
Luo Haiting was in a very bad mood today, and the smile on her face was forced out.
She is a woman, and she is not as keen on controlling power as men. Luo Haiting defected to Dong Xuebin and fully cooperated with his work. In the final analysis, it was to keep her current position. She had the idea of advancement, but it was not strong. Luo Haiting has always been like this.
After hanging around, she thinks her life is pretty good now, but the quarrel with her husband this morning has ruined her mood. Her husband also heard from someone that Director Dong likes mature women.
This time I stopped doing it. When Luo Haiting got up in the morning and put her makeup on repeatedly in front of the mirror, her husband yelled at her, saying what happened between her and Dong Xuebin. Luo Haiting explained, but he didn't listen, which made Luo Haiting also
He lost his temper and the two had a big quarrel.
Everyone in the work unit knows that Luo Haiting and his wife have an excellent relationship and can be called a model couple.
However, no matter how model a couple is, there is no one who does not quarrel, not to mention that their married life is not as good as others think.
This quarrel made Luo Haiting very chilled. Dong Xuebin was a young man in his twenties, and she was a forty-year-old woman. How could something shameful happen to Dong Xuebin? Although she and her family had a hotel that time.
Shi Luo Haiting once misunderstood that Dong Xuebin had thoughts about her, but she didn't want to hear this from her husband. She felt that her husband was too distrustful of her.
After all, Luo Haiting was an old comrade, and she concealed her emotions very well, and Dong Xuebin didn't notice it either.
get off work.
Luo Haiting calmed down and came to Dong Xuebin's office to ask him if he was going to the dance.
Dong Xuebin thought about it and let her go first. He hadn't decided yet.
At this time, Luo Haiting's cell phone rang, and she saw that it was her husband calling. Luo Haiting knew that he must be urging her to go home and not allow her to have extra time to cause trouble with so and so.
Thinking of this, Luo Haiting felt even more annoyed. She hung up the phone without answering the call and subconsciously glanced at Dong Xuebin. She was not even going to tell her husband about the prom. Aren't you doubting me?
Go ahead and be suspicious!
Dong Xuebin also noticed something, "Sister Luo, is there something going on at home?"
Luo Haiting immediately put away her phone, "It's okay. The child asked me if I would go back for dinner. I'll call him later. Well, Director, I'll go first then?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, "Okay."
Luo Haiting, who was wearing a light-colored long skirt, turned around, opened the door, twisted her waist and walked out in a very feminine manner.
This action made Dong Xuebin's eyes subconsciously fall on her plump buttocks. With a flash of lightning, he withdrew his gaze again. He coughed and thought about Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebin couldn't sit still anymore and simply went to a restaurant downstairs to eat.
After dinner, he also drove to the dance party. Even if he couldn't dance, Dong Xuebin didn't want Xie Huilan to be taken advantage of in vain.
