The wooden house is located between two huge grapefruit trees. In the golden autumn season, although the grapefruits are not yet ripe, they are quite large. Each one has a round belly button, hanging high on the branches, bathed in the golden sunshine, moving with the wind, as if

Each golden lantern. The chapters of the top novels are updated the fastest.

The two grapefruit trees are not only full of fruit, but also lush with leaves. The two trees are more than five meters apart, but their lush branches can actually overlap each other. From a distance, they look like a small forest, where the wooden house is built.

In the middle of this forest.

From a distance, the wooden house is obscured by branches, making it almost impossible to detect its existence.

Stepping into the house, you can even see how ingenious this wooden house is. There is a skylight on the roof, and the light penetrates directly through the gaps in the fallen leaves. Even if the sun is shining in the sky, it will not be dazzling. It is dim and dark.

There is a hazy beauty.

The wooden house is surrounded by all kinds of creeping plants. Sitting inside and having a meal feels like having a picnic in the forest.

The wooden house is not big, measuring 7 to 8 square meters. It is almost filled with a few Eight Immortals chairs surrounding a large mahogany table carved out in the center. There is a stove under the wooden table.

The stove is very unique, unlike ordinary household coal stoves. There is a huge iron pot on top, and the stove is open below, filled with firewood, and burning vigorously. There is a black square tube on the side of the black pot, connected to the furnace body, poking

Four or five meters out, it extended straight out of the window.

With this long square tube, no smoke from the coal stove will escape into the house.

With such ingenuity, how can it not impress others?

When Xie Minggao, Jiang Fangping and others sat down, the dishes were all served.

There is a pot full of beer duck, and the smoke is rising from the stew. The floating bright dried chili peppers are surrounded by the bubbles all over the edge of the pot.

The strong aroma of meat rushes straight to people's foreheads, stimulating everyone's appetite all the time.

The dishes for today's dinner are extremely simple. Except for the pot full of beer-drinking duck, no other dishes are served. The rest are hot pot accompaniments such as coriander, qianzhang, moso bamboo, and tofu. Plus a few flavor plates.

There are all kinds of cups and plates, and the table is almost full.

When everyone was seated, Dai Yubin grabbed a bottle of Wuliangye, opened it, and poured it for everyone one by one. Just before he was about to say something special, Jiang Fangping raised his glass and drank it.

At this time, Dai Yubin couldn't speak even if he had something to say. He put down the bottle of wine and sat down.

Xie Minggao saw Dai Yubin's embarrassment. He had the most respected position here, so he naturally had to take over the job of smoothing things over. But when he saw him holding the wine glass, he said: "We are talking about the same war flag, but everything happened in the past

It’s complicated. Either you are busy or he is busy. It’s not easy to get together today. Come on, come on. Taking advantage of Fang Ping’s appointment, I’ll lend you flowers to offer to Buddha and give you a toast.”

Unexpectedly, after Xie Minggao finished speaking, Jiang Fangping poured himself another glass and drank it down.

With a flick of the brush, Xie Mingao's expression changed.

Indeed, Jiang Fangping's move was simply to lose face for him. Although Mr. Jiang was favored by Mayor Xue and got closer to Mayor Xue earlier than me, Mr. Xie, I, Mr. Xie, was the dignified Executive Deputy of Mr. Dejiang.

Mayor, you are Mr. Jiang's serious leader in charge. I have already smoothed things over, but you still don't give me face like this. Are you being too arrogant?

Seeing the scene is about to reach the edge of silence and explosion.

There were two knocks on the door, and Cai Guoqing said angrily: "Why did you knock? Didn't you tell me earlier? Don't come in without greeting anyone. Don't bother me."

Obviously, Director Cai thought it was Zheng Youdao who was knocking on the door, and wanted to come in and take advantage of the toast to make a big deal, but the man named Zheng just kept the whole scene and didn't look at the time?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a click and the door lock was opened.

Sure enough, Zheng Youdao's wretched and fat old face appeared outside the door. In an instant, Cai Guoqing was about to run away, but Zheng Youdao stepped aside and let Qi Xi and Meng Jun behind him.

"Several leaders, Secretary Qi and Minister Meng happened to be here for dinner. I happened to see their chauffeurs and knew that several leaders were here, so they said they would come over to join in the fun. Leaders, look..."

Zheng Youdao nodded and bowed as he explained the situation.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to be verbose. Whatever happens or doesn't happen by chance, I'm just here to find them. Go ahead and ask someone to bring in two more bowls and chopsticks. Don't just try to flatter them. If you, Old Zheng, have the ability, just do it."

Put your mind on running Yongsheng Guesthouse, as long as you don’t think about those crooked ones, with Mayor Xue’s temperament that always values ​​economic ability, how can we lose your future, Lao Zheng?”

Qi Xi scolded.

Zheng Youdao smiled happily after hearing this, a puff of smoke left, and in a flash he sent back two sets of tableware, and then he carefully stepped back and closed the door.

"Lao Xie, what you did today was not honest. We brothers have been in the same team for many years, but you didn't invite me and Lao Meng to dinner. What do you mean? It's because you are dissatisfied with me, brother.

Or do you think that Minister Meng and I have fallen behind and can’t keep up with your market?”

Qi Xifang sat down on his seat and fired at Xie Minggao.

Everyone could hear the meaning behind his words, which was that he was complaining that Xie Minggao organized a gathering within a small group of Xue Xiang's circle, but someone like him, Qi, was left behind.

Of course, this gathering was not organized by Xie Minggao, but everyone in the room respected Xie Minggao's status, so Secretary Qi naturally ignored him and only stared at him, Mayor Xie, and fired shots.

Indeed, Secretary Qi also has a reason to fire!

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Secretary Qi is also an important figure in Xue Laosan’s small circle. After working with Xue Laosan on the Standing Committee several times, Secretary Qi has never changed docks at all. It can be said that Yu Da

In terms of festivals, there is no loss at all.

Now, Xie Minggao organized a gathering of Xue Xiang's circle and excluded him and Qi. Wasn't this meant to isolate him and Qi from Xue Xiang's power? Naturally, Secretary Qi couldn't bear such behavior.

of.

In his opinion, it must be because Xie Minggao was afraid that Mr. Qi's ranking on the Standing Committee was too high, and he was afraid that Secretary Qi would join the circle and replace Mr. Xie's leadership.

It's so pitiful that he, Qi, has never had such an idea.

From the very beginning, Secretary Qi was looking for Xue Yanei. As for those who had power or not, they were no longer in the eyes of Secretary Qi.

Secretary Qi is very accurate. As long as he holds on to Xue Yanei, his future future will not be much different. As for stupid things that disrupt the existing power structure of the Xue family, Secretary Qi will not be stupid.

Go and do it.

Xie Minggao excluded him from the circle this time. It can only be said that he thanked someone for being a villain in vain.

But when Qi Xi finished speaking, Meng Jun continued: "Mayor Xie, what you did today is really unreasonable. I am not as good at speaking as Secretary Qi and know how to use tactful words. I am

Just say whatever you have to say. Please forgive me if I hit the mark. Feel free to be angry. Ordinarily, since we are all throwing spoons into the same pot, we should unite sincerely and work together to help Xue Shi

If we can overcome this difficulty, we will have a good life in the future. Now that we are all in the same boat, we have to separate ourselves one, two, and three. If the boat sinks, what is the use of being clear? In addition, I believe

Mayor Xue is a man of discernment. He understands who looks like him, who is more important and who is less important. He has a clear place in his heart. There is no need for anyone to fight or fight for it. Everything can take its course. Wouldn't it be nice?"

Xie Minggao was bombarded by two people when he came up, but Xie Minggao couldn't express his pain. He couldn't deny that today's scene was not organized by someone Xie, so he would not lose his status as Mayor Xue.

But he couldn't tell Jiang Fangping to stand up and block the arrow for him.

Seeing that the scene was about to be embarrassing, Jiang Fangping, who had been drinking, suddenly slammed his glass on the table and said: "Secretary Qi, Minister Meng, you have misunderstood. This meeting today was arranged by me and has nothing to do with Mayor Xie.

The reason why I didn’t invite you two is because I’m not very familiar with the two leaders and I didn’t dare to invite you rashly. Now the two leaders are very considerate to me and come to the scene by themselves. I punished Fang Ping with three glasses of wine to apologize and thank you.”

With that said, Jiang Fangping grabbed the wine bottle and poured it into the cup.

He was about to cash it out when he saw it, but Lu Zhenyu, who was right next to him, reached out to stop him: "Okay, Lao Jiang, I found something wrong with you when I walked in. Since this is your appointment, you should act like a host. You

What's going on with these gulps being poured into your mouth? Could it be that everyone has gathered here to appreciate your arrogance and capacity for drinking, Director Jiang? It's already here.

Everyone has gathered together, and everyone is a sensible person. They know that they are not here to eat. If there is anything to do, when everyone is here, before the wine is in their mouths, and their heads are still clear, they spread it out. To put it bluntly, we will discuss it.

A safe way to do it, like you, Lao Jiang, is to use yin and yang, wouldn't it mean that we will miss Mayor Xue's important event?"

Lu Zhenyu is not the highest level, and he is not the closest to Xue Xiang, but he is very senior, that is, he is very senior and close to Xue Xiang.

I think back on the first day when Xue Xiang went to Xiang Dejiang, Mayor Lu gave Xue Xiang a lot of help.

Afterwards, he stood firmly by Xue Xiang's side during several turmoils with him.

Although Lu Zhenyu was selling Chen Daolin's face, he didn't seem to be completely devoted to Xue Xiang.

But the facts are facts. Even Jiang Fangping and Dai Yubin, the earliest ministers of Conglong, dare not underestimate the importance of Mayor Lu, and they are not qualified to take advantage of Mayor Lu.

Therefore, after Mayor Lu Da finished speaking, Jiang Fangping honestly let go of his hands and sat firmly on the chair. Suddenly, he clasped his fists and said, "Thousands of mistakes are all my fault, Lao Jiang. Since everyone has

He is a good comrade-in-arms of Mayor Xue, so there is no need to distinguish between us. I will make an appointment today.

I believe all leaders and comrades know the reason for this situation. Yes, the current situation in Dejiang has become extremely corrupt. Some people are unscrupulous and want to destroy the situation in Dejiang. Can we remain indifferent?
