At night.

It was dark and hazy.

In the family home of the municipal party committee, at home, as soon as the key rang and the door opened, Xie Huilan came back, and Dong Xuebin, who had just finished cooking, beckoned her to eat together.

"Come, taste how."

"Well, hehe, that's good."

"How nice is that? Let's talk about it. ”

"It's all delicious, and it's still delicious for my husband."

"Better than a restaurant outside?"

"Strong, more than a star and a half."

"Well, I love to hear what you say, eat it quickly, eat it quickly."

added a chopstick dish to Huilan, and Dong Xuebin suddenly asked: "By the way, you said that there will be a charity fundraiser later, how much should we donate?" ”

Xie Huilan looked at him, "Ten thousand and twenty thousand is about the same, right?" It's not a small amount, I know what you think, but everyone's salary level is like this, and if you donate more, it will make people gossip, it's not impossible, but it's not necessary, right? If you want to donate more, just donate secretly, today's party is mainly of political significance, most of them are some municipal leaders and some businessmen in Bac Ha Province, we as national cadres are to play a leading role, mainly depends on how much those businessmen donate, and this time the protagonist is the first and second in command of the municipal party committee, you still want to steal their limelight? If we donate more than they do, do you think it's appropriate? ”

Dong Xuebin pondered, "That's right." ”

"Hurry up and eat, and help you choose your clothes for Sister Xie in a while."

"Isn't it for the earthquake? Do you still want to wear a dress? Just wear a suit. ”

"Suits are also divided into styles and colors, and you can help me with the staff later."

It is very troublesome for women to go out, and after tossing for a long time, Xie Huilan was satisfied with a suit, in fact, in Dong Xuebin's opinion, there is not much difference between a few women's suits, but she still said "This is good, this is good", and then she reluctantly went back to the house to change her clothes.

The two of them went out.

It was not Land Rover and Porsche that drove it, but the bus of the Huilan unit.

At the door of the hotel, the two got off the car and took the elevator to the banquet hall on the top floor, which is a cooperative unit of the Fenzhou Municipal Government, but whenever there is a large-scale event will be held here, Dong Xuebin When they arrived, there were already many people who had entered the venue, and there were a few staff members and cadres of the Municipal Party Committee Office guarding outside, guarding the invitation letters from celebrities from all walks of life, and then letting them go, but Xie Huilan obviously didn't need any invitations.

Inside the ballroom.

About 30 people came, mostly leaders and businessmen from Fenzhou City and other neighboring cities, as well as some celebrities, calligraphers and writers.

As soon as Xie Huilan entered the arena, she immediately became the focus of the audience.

Dong Xuebin has long been accustomed to Huilan's limelight, after all, she is so beautiful, even if Dong Xuebin has been married to her for so long and has known her for so many years, every time he sees Huilan's face, he can't help but feel amazing, not to mention other people, Huilan is too charming.

"Thank you, Mayor! Are you here? A businessman hurriedly walked up to say hello.

"Boss Song, hehe." Xie Huilan shook hands with him, "It's been a long time, how are you doing?" ”

"Thanks to you, it's fine." Boss Song looked sideways at Dong Xuebin and shook his hands politely, "This must be your lover?" Director Dong, hello, hello. ”

Dong Xuebin shook hands with him, "Hello, fortunately." ”

Many people came up to say hello, Xie Huilan introduced Dong Xuebin one by one, and also introduced Dong Xuebin to them, of course, the cadres of Fenzhou City are not needed, but who has worked in Fenzhou City, who still doesn't know Dong Xuebin? It's impossible not to know Xie Huilan if you don't know him, Dong Xuebin's reputation is much louder than Xie Huilan in the Fenzhou City organs, and everyone knows it.

He Suien, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his wife came.

Zhan Guiping, deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his wife came.

Luo Haiting also entered the arena alone, without a lover.

"Xuebin!" Mrs. Zhan immediately came up and talked to Dong Xuebin.

Zhan Guiping also chatted with Xie Huilan with a smile.

After a while, the heavyweight figure finally appeared, and the leader always had to finalize.

The first to come was Zhong Zhengwei, the mayor of Fenzhou City, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with his hair neatly tidied and his temperament in a Mao suit.

Then, Wan Fanglei, secretary of the Fenzhou Municipal Party Committee, also arrived.

It's not the first time Dong Xuebin has seen Secretary Wan, the last time he was injured in the hospital after the earthquake, Wan Fanglei personally visited him, but the atmosphere was different from that time, and he saw Secretary Wan again, because Wan Sichao's matter was in it, and there were already heavy estrangements and even contradictions.

"Mayor Xie has arrived?" Mayor Zhong Zhengwei looked at Xie Huilan with a smile.

Xie Huilan took Dong Xuebin's hand and walked up, "Mayor Zhong, why didn't my sister-in-law come?" ”

Zhong Zhengwei smiled and said: "I caught a cold, I didn't let her come over, this is your lover, right?" Not bad. ”

Dong Xuebin shook his hands with him, "Mayor Zhong." ”

It can be seen that the relationship between Zhong Zhengwei and Huilan is okay, at least on face.

Looking at Wan Fanglei and his wife over there, they didn't even look at Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan, and went directly to talk to a few leaders of the city, but Mrs. Wan glanced at Dong Xuebin's face, and she couldn't see any expression, and then her eyes were taken back, but if there is no attitude, how can it not be an attitude? This scene was seen by many cadres in Fenzhou City, and they muttered in their hearts, it seems that Wan Sichao's incident really made Secretary Wan and his wife have an opinion on Dong Xuebin and his wife, and everyone has more or less the bottom.

Zhan Guiping also heard about the previous incident, and was a little worried about Dong Xuebin and offended a secretary of the municipal party committee, which is not a joke.

At this moment, just as the fundraiser was about to begin, the door of the banquet hall opened again.

Yang Zhaode and Luan Xiaoping came late and walked in slowly.

A leader who knew Lao Yang smiled: "Mayor Yang, you're late." ”

"Hehe, it looks like I'm going to have to come up with the excuse of being stuck in traffic." Yang Zhaode said.

People of Yang Zhaode's level are considered to be the top leaders at the scene, Wan Fanglei and several Fenzhou City cadres all smiled and nodded to him and said hello. Lao Yang used to be the head of the Organization Department of Fenzhou City, and after working together for so many years, everyone is very familiar with it.

Mayor Zhong Zhengwei greeted him with a smile, "Mayor Yang, this is your wife, right?" You're so blessed, do you have something to do at night? Go sit with me. ”

Yang Zhaode smiled and said, "Okay, I'm in a hurry, I just haven't eaten." ”

After Luan Xiaoping laughed at Zhong Zhengwei, she looked around left and right.

"Mrs. Luan is looking for someone?" Zhong Zhengwei asked.

Yang Zhaode said: "He's looking for Huilan and Xuebin." ”

Zhong Zhengwei smiled and pointed not far away, "It's there." ”

Luan Xiaoping saw it, and immediately said goodbye to Zhong Zhengwei, and walked up under the suspicious gaze of many people, "Xuebin, Huilan, here." ”

Xuebin? Hui Lan?

Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan?

Many people were stunned, and they didn't understand why the mayor's wife of Lu'an City didn't get in touch with the leaders at the same level first, but found them first? It's still very kind?

Dong Xuebin saw his mother and beckoned, "Mom, are you here?" ”

Xie Huilan also squinted her eyes and said, "Mom." ”

Luan Xiaoping went up and took Huilan's hand with subtle warmth, and her eyes also aimed at her little belly, which was already slightly bulging, and instructed vigorously, "You haven't eaten spicy food recently, have you?" ”

"I didn't eat it, I quit early."

"That's good, eat less of that and drink more milk."

"I understand."

Mother?

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Guiping, Luo Haiting and other leading cadres in Fenzhou City were also stunned.

What mom? The mother of Director Dong and Mayor Xie...... Is Mayor Yang's wife?

Can't you? How come you've never heard of it? What's going on??

Even most of the cadres in Lu'an City knew about this matter for a day, let alone the people in Fenzhou City, they had never heard of it at all!

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Only Wan Fanglei and Zhong Zhengwei had no surprises, obviously they had heard it a long time ago.

Seeing Luan Xiaoping and Xie Huilan talking, Yang Zhaode beckoned Dong Xuebin, "Xuebin, come, I'll introduce you to a few friends." ”

"Whoa." Dong Xuebin walked up.

Yang Zhaode has been operating in Fenzhou City for so many years, although the relationship may not be so deep with his transfer now, but it is also much stronger than Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin's relationship network here, and it is always good to know more people, which is conducive to the future work of the two of them.

Luo Haiting took a deep breath, she also said that why was she so familiar when she first saw Luan Xiaoping, it turned out that she had seen her when she was in Yantai County before, it was Director Dong's mother, it turned out that Director Dong's mother was not a teacher in Yantai County, but went to Lu'an City, and married Mayor Yang? This is too deep, Director Dong can really hold back, such a big thing is only now revealed? That's big news! Luo Haiting can even predict that this matter will be spread in the agency tomorrow, not to mention the positions of Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan, just say the identity of Yang Zhaode, the mayor, and if others want to deal with Dong Xuebin and his family, then who has to weigh it?

For a while, everyone looked at Dong Xuebin with a strange look, and only then did they understand that Yang Zhaode and his wife came all the way over as if it was not just for charity, but on this occasion, telling everyone that Dong Xuebin was their son was not supporting Dong Xuebin?

Wan Fanglei's wife frowned.

Many cadres who had stayed away from Dong Xuebin before also blinked.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little strange, and many people smiled bitterly in their hearts, saying that this Director Dong is really a plague god, how many days has he been in the city? The water was so mixed up by him! Where are you here to be an official? When will it be a head?

Time's up.

Charity begins.

A beautiful host of Fenzhou TV immediately came to the stage, cleared her throat, touched the microphone and quickly broke the deadlock, "Leaders, guests, good evening." ”

The atmosphere was relaxed.

So they all looked for a place to sit down.
