Chapter 284 The distinguished guest of the Xu family
Chen Shanning frowned and glanced at Peng Yuanzheng. To read the latest chapter of this book, please search on Baidu: 1 Novel Network. He thought: Today's Wolong Villa is where Secretary Xu of the Provincial Party Committee and his family are holding a banquet. You are a grassroots small town long-distance runner.
Who are you here to eat with? Are you talking nonsense?
Thinking of this, Chen Shanning said calmly, "Mayor Xiao Peng, as far as I know, Wolong Villa does not accept foreign guests today. You must have remembered the wrong place. There is another Wohu Villa ahead. You'd better go back and contact yours again.
Friends, don’t waste your time.”
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and said, "I remember the place correctly, it's here, Wolong Villa."
Chen Shanning frowned even more tightly, "You really... you must have made a mistake. Wolong Villa is closed to the public today. You should leave immediately."
At this time, several people who looked like drivers and staff came over. The leader was obviously a staff member next to Xu Chunting. He was in his early 30s, with a neat suit and shiny leather shoes. He waved impatiently to Peng Yuanzheng,
"Hurry up! There are important events here today and we are closed!"
Immediately, he turned to look at Chen Shanning and frowned, "Xiao Chen, this is someone from your city? What's going on?"
Chen Shanning said with a smile on his face, "Huo Chu is a mayor of Xin'an City. He came to see his friend. He must have gone to the wrong place. I will let him go now!"
With that said, Chen Shanning quickly winked at Peng Yuanzheng and said, "Mayor Peng, let's go quickly, don't make anyone unhappy!"
Peng Yuanzheng's eyes passed over Chen Shanning and landed on the man named Huo, guessing that this person should be Xu Chunting's secretary. In fact, his guess was correct, this person was Xu Chunting's current secretary, Huo Qingshan.
Peng Yuanzheng knew that he could not explain to these people. He could not simply say, "I am the guest invited by Secretary Xu." Of course, even if he said this, staff like Huo Qingshan might not believe it.
The police may even ask him to take him back for further examination.
The private banquet of Xu Chunting's family was held in secret, and many provincial leaders were unaware of it. Most of the people attending the banquet today were relatives and family members of the Xu family, as well as a few staff members around Xu Chunting. Xin'an Municipal Party Committee Secretary Dongfang Yan was Xu Chunting's confidant before.
, the job in charge is to "serve the leaders", and he is no stranger to the Xu family, so Dongfang Yan rushed over after hearing the news.
Huo Qingshan could never believe that a grassroots town mayor would be qualified to attend a private family dinner for the provincial party secretary of this level.
Peng Yuanzheng took a step back and was about to think of a way to call Feng Qianru, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Feng Qianru and Xu Xiao appearing at the door of the hall inside.
Without any hesitation, he stood on Chen Shanning's side, raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Qianru! Xu Xiao!"
He shouted so suddenly, Chen Shanning was startled, and Huo Qingshan was even more frightened. He hurriedly reprimanded, "What are you shouting? Leave quickly! If you don't leave, I'll ask the security guards to take you out!"
Peng Yuanzheng was too lazy to say anything else to him, so he ignored Huo Qingshan's stern expression and looked behind him.
Feng Qianru and Xu Xiao ran over from there with a smile.
Huo Qingshan and Chen Shanning greeted Xu Xiao with a smile. Chen Shanning called out "Xu Ke" because Xu Xiao is the deputy section chief of the Provincial Women's Federation; while Huo Qingshan smiled respectfully and called out "Xu Ke".
"Xiao" to show the closeness between the secretary of the provincial party committee and the Xu family.
But Xu Xiao ignored the two of them at all. He took Feng Qianru's hand and walked over. He smiled behind Huo Qingshan and Chen Shanning and said, "Peng Yuanzheng, why are you here? We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Peng Yuanzheng smiled and walked over, "I had some errands to do in the provincial capital, and there was traffic jam on the way here by taxi - but it's not too late, didn't I say that the birthday party only started at 3:30 in the afternoon?"...
"Come on, my dad and mom have been waiting for you for a while, and my grandma has been talking about wanting to see you since last night!"
Xu Xiao's smile was bright.
Feng Qianru broke free from Xu Xiao's hand, walked to Peng Yuanzheng and said in a low voice with a smile, "Brother Yuanzheng, have you brought a gift?"
"Bring it." Peng Yuanzheng handed a small bag in his hand to Feng Qianru, and then walked to the banquet hall with the two women chatting and laughing.
Huo Qingshan and Chen Shanning were stunned, looking at each other with ugly expressions. Especially Chen Shanning, he never dreamed that a township mayor below the city would be so familiar with Secretary Xu's daughter, and they didn't seem to have an ordinary relationship.
.Remembering how condescending he had been just now, his face suddenly turned red.
However, what made the two of them feel even more incredible was that Xu Chunting's wife, Yuan Xiulan, actually welcomed them out of the hall with a smile.
A trace of shock flashed across Huo Qingshan's eyes.
Today, the only people who can greet Yuan Xiulan are some elders of the Xu family. Who is this young man in front of him, and he is qualified to be greeted by the wife of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary with a smile!
As for Chen Shanning, he had already fallen into a semi-sluggish state. He could hardly believe his eyes. Even when his boss Dongfang Yan came to congratulate the old lady of the Xu family on her birthday, Yuan Xiulan did not show up, and it was Xu Xiao who came to greet him.
It’s unbelievable that a mere Peng Yuanzheng could be so proud!
How is that possible?!
How is this possible?!
Peng Yuanzheng walked with a frown on his face. He knew that when he attended Xu Chunting's mother's birthday party and was bumped into by Dongfang Yan and Chen Shanning, the news would definitely spread back to the city. For him who has always been low-key, this may not be the case.
What a good thing.
Feng Qianru glanced at him, guessed what he was thinking, and tugged on Xu Xiao's arm. Xu Xiao chuckled, and smiled in Peng Yuanzheng's ear, "Don't worry, Mayor Peng Da, the eldest young master of the Feng family,
There are no outsiders today, and no one will talk nonsense outside."
Peng Yuanzheng smiled bitterly and stopped: "Our city secretary Dongfang is here too?"
"He came here as soon as he came. What are you afraid of? He used to work next to my dad. My dad allowed him to come today. I'm afraid it has something to do with you. Come on, don't think too much. You're not committing any crime. You can't be seen.
Human?"
Behind him, Huo Qingshan turned to stare at Chen Shanning and said in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, who is this person?"
"His name is Peng Yuanzheng, the mayor of Yunshui Town in Xin'an City." Chen Shanning said hesitantly.
"So he is Peng Yuanzheng...?" Huo Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, with a strange brilliance shining in his eyes.
He was not very clear about who Peng Yuanzheng was, but he knew that Xu Chunting, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was very concerned about this young cadre named Peng Yuanzheng in Xin'an and often asked him to call Xin'an to learn about Peng Yuanzheng's work. He
I have worked with Xu Chunting for a long time, and this is the first time this has happened.
…
…
Peng Yuanzheng chatted and laughed with Feng Qianru and Xu Xiao, then walked to the entrance of the hall.
A middle-aged woman with a face like a full moon and still charming charm stood there with a smile, looking at the three of them.
Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Mom, this is Peng Yuanzheng - Peng Yuanzheng, this is my mother."
Peng Yuanzheng quickly greeted with a smile, "Hello Aunt Yuan!"
"Yuanzheng, our old lady is very happy when I heard that you are coming. Come on, come in!" Yuan Xiulan took Peng Yuanzheng's hand cordially and led Peng Yuanzheng into the hall like a child.
Peng Yuanzheng felt slightly embarrassed.
Feng Qianru covered her mouth and smiled softly.
The reason why Yuan Xiulan stood at the door to greet him was, of course, to give the Feng family in the capital the minimum respect. Although Peng Yuanzheng is a young descendant, he is the eldest grandson of the Feng family, and he has a noble status. This time, he is here to celebrate his birthday on behalf of the Feng family.
, is an honored guest of the Xu family, and of course the Xu family cannot neglect...
It was inconvenient for Xu Chunting to greet him in person, so he could only ask his wife Yuan Xiulan to come forward. One to express goodwill, the other to express cordiality, further harmonizing the relationship between the two parties.
This is a small flower hall, which originally had four or five tables in total. Because of today’s special occasion, Wolong Villa has rearranged it and opened three tables. It is already full of people, mostly close relatives of the Xu family and the Yuan family.
relatives.
There are two brothers, Xu Chunting, and a sister. At table No. 1, in addition to the old lady and Xu Chunting, there are Xu Chunting’s brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, and Dongfangyan. Dongfangyan is qualified to sit with these people.
Being together shows that he is very close to the Xu family.
Peng Yuanzheng saw Dongfangyan at a glance, and thought to himself: It seems that Dongfangyan is a direct descendant of Secretary Xu, and there may be room for promotion in the future. You know, among the dozen or so prefecture-level cities in Jiangbei Province, which municipal party committee secretary has
Opportunity to qualify to sit here?
This is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Little did he know that although Dongfangyan was very close to Xu Chunting, it was not necessarily that close. Dongfangyan was named by Xu Chunting today and was related to him.
Peng Yuanzheng saw Dongfang Yan, and Dongfang Yan also saw him when he raised his head. At this moment, Dongfang Yan almost thought that there was an illusion in front of him: Xu Chunting's wife personally held Peng Yuanzheng's hand, with an intimate look and a smile.
Came in.
Just when he was stunned, he saw Xu Chunting slowly stood up and smiled loudly, "Here we go, expedition. Sit here."
The corner of Dongfang Yan's mouth suddenly twitched, and his heart thumped: Looking at the entire Jiangbei Province, how many people can be treated so politely by Xu Chunting?
Of course he didn't know that the reason why Xu Chunting paid special courtesy to Peng Yuanzheng today was because Peng Yuanzheng came today on behalf of the Feng family, which had a different meaning.
Peng Yuanzheng "broke free" of Yuan Xiulan's hand, strode over and said with a smile, "Secretary Xu!"
"Don't call me Secretary Xu today, call me Uncle Xu!" Xu Chunting smiled, "This is your Grandma Xu!"
Peng Yuanzheng didn't wait for Xu Chunting to say anything. He straightened his figure calmly, stood on the spot and bowed to the kind-faced old lady Xu with a smile, and said, "I wish Grandma Xu as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Mrs. Xu smiled heartily and said, "Good boy, thank you. Come and sit here with grandma."
Feng Qianru smiled and handed over the gift Peng Yuanzheng brought and said, "Grandma Xu, this is a birthday gift from Brother Yuanzheng! Take a look and see if you like it."
"I like it, how can grandma not like it? In fact, as long as you can come and show grandma, grandma will be very happy, so why not give her a gift!" Old Mrs. Xu said politely.
