The four of them chatted and laughed for a while, then sat around the table. In view of the boundless moonlight, the dishes Xue Xiang ordered were extremely elegant, with almost no oil or meat, including green vegetables, white radish, purple moss, and red soup. The only portion of boiled fish can barely be considered meaty.
Although the dishes were simple, the taste was excellent. After the four of them sat down, they ate less and more, and ate very happily. However, the large pot of Shaoxing Huadiao that Xue Xiang had specially prepared was not available because of Wei Lan's polite refusal. Serve it on the table. Thinking about it, if the guests don’t drink, how can the host drink it himself?
Half an hour later, Wei Lan was the first to stop, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Xue is really good at entertaining guests. I'm afraid this table didn't even cost five yuan. It only costs one yuan per person. He's very careful with his calculations." Woolen cloth."
"The banquet doesn't have to be expensive, it's all about having fun. I see you, Minister of Health, don't miss your chopsticks."
At this moment, Wang Gang and Chu Chaohui also stopped using their chopsticks. Xue Xiang was the only one who replied while emptying the soup in five plates, smashing it into pieces, and then emptying out the last half of the rice in the small wooden bucket, and pouring it into the bowl. He put the boiled fish in a large soup bowl, stirred it briefly, and the soup, chopped vegetables and snow-white rice were all mixed together. He abandoned his chopsticks and used a spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth with big mouthfuls, without caring about the image. Seeing Chu Chaohui and Wang Gang looking at each other, they were secretly worried. This leader of theirs must have paid too little attention to etiquette. Minister Wei liked cleanliness and disliked rudeness the most.
Xue Xiang has always had this temper when eating. He eats as much as he can and leaves as little as possible. This habit reflects the fact that the old Xue family came from eight generations of poor peasants.
Wang Gang, Chu Chaohui looked anxiously, but Wei Lan looked at it interestingly. Some people like to pretend to be aristocratic young masters, but they only show their appearance. This County Magistrate Xue is neither arrogant nor reserved, nor self-possessed. A wave of momentum.
Xue Xiang looked fierce when eating. In a moment, a large bowl of dried food went into his stomach. After eating, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "The eating looks are ugly. Minister of Health is so generous to Wang Han!"
Wei Lan smiled and said: "It is said that there are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yan and Zhao. When I see them today, it is true."
Xue Xiang waved his hand: "Minister Wei, please stop joking. The generosity and tragic songs are all praised by Jing Ke and Yu Rang, ordinary heroes and warriors. I am a big-bellied man. At best, I can eat and drink, but I dare not compare with the predecessors!"
Wei Lan retorted a few more words with a smile, and then talked with Xue Xiangpan on the topic of "The Land of Yanzhao, the Tragedy of Generosity". Such a topic. It was a heroic story, a passionate story, and occasionally introduced kings and generals. The topic range of political gains and losses is naturally very wide. Without sufficient historical knowledge and literary accomplishment, most people would really be unable to talk about it.
But Xue Xiang is a literary young man, and the major he studied at Peking University in his previous life was originally focused on literature and history. In addition, the characters in the topic are all famous, so it is not difficult for Xue Xiang. But what he didn't expect was that the Minister of Health also had some suspicions. Jinxiu. Just like the Fang family who governs history, not only can he clearly tell the origins of each hero, he can even remember the dates of major events clearly, which puts Xue Xiang to shame.
Xue and Wei were chatting lively. Although Wang Gang and Chu Chaohui were not familiar with the Book of Heaven, they really couldn't get a word in. Unexpectedly, before these two became impatient, Wei Lan spoke first and drove them away. However, Minister of Health Hui Zhilanxin, a refined and beautiful woman, was by no means arrogant. She only said, "I still have something to discuss with County Magistrate Xue, you can do it yourself." The leaders gave it to them. Wang Gang, Chu Chaohui, If you dare to disobey, you will go without even looking at Xue Xiang.
After Wang and Chu left, Wei Lan and Xue Xiang talked about history for a while, and gradually stopped talking. The wilderness was endless and the evening breeze was getting stronger. Xue Xiang moved a small stool and invited Wei Lan to sit outside. It was time.
The moon is at the zenith of the sky, the crescent moon is crescent, looming, but the sky is full of stars, as vast as the sea, which makes people's hearts full.
Xue Xiang leaned against the backrest, looked up at the sky, and suddenly said: "Minister Wei, thank you so much this time!"
Wei Lan's face turned slightly red and she whispered, "It's okay."
"By the way, you are wearing Chanel today. The style suits you very well."
Xue Xiang was not out of words. This banquet for Wei Lan was originally intended to be a reward, but the source of the reward had to start two days ago. That day, after Xue Xiang and Liao Guoyou had a small gathering in the office,
Xue Xiang thought deeply for a long time, then analyzed the situation of Wei
, after Yu Lianhe, the most likely candidate to fill the post of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission must be Zhang Daozhong, and Yu Dingzhong has put in a lot of efforts, so naturally he will not return empty-handed. Presumably, the director of the county party committee office must definitely get it. It is not difficult to analyze in the future.
Tian Boguang came to power.
As a result, Xue Xiang naturally had a scheming idea. In a feast, if others were eating meat, he should drink soup. He made the idea to the director of the county office, and soon decided to promote Wang Gang to the post.
The least likely candidate was Wei Lan. After all, the director of the county government office was only a cadre at the department level, so the nomination naturally had to come from the Organization Department. Therefore, Xue Xiang went to find Wei Lan.
To put it into detail, Xue Xiang could naturally feel that Wei Lan had a good impression of him. Of course, it was just a good impression in terms of work. When he came to ask for help, he felt somewhat confident, but there was no reason to leave empty-handed when asking for help.
Sending money and meat is naturally not something Xue Laosan can do.
With an idea, Xue Laosan decided to focus on the woman's stuff. Coincidentally, last time Liu Ying'er left in a hurry, she didn't even have time to pack up her gifts, so these stuff were naturally placed there.
Xue Xiangchu. Xue Xiang looked through it carefully and found out many bottles and jars, among which the bottle of Chanel perfume was the most suitable.
Not to mention that it has not yet been opened, the entire bottle is also made of crystal. The shape is very elegant and graceful. Not only women, but also a grown man like Xue Xiang will inevitably fall in love with it upon seeing it.
Sure enough, when the bottle of Chanel appeared in front of him, Minister Wei, who was joking after hearing Xue Xiang's intention, was stunned. He couldn't help but reached out his hand and snatched the thing away. After looking at it for a long time, he even asked Xue
He said goodbye to her, but he didn't show the slightest expression at all.
Chanel, Minister Wei was very satisfied, and at the Standing Committee meeting, the favor was easily given to Xue Xiang!
After saying "It's okay", Wei Lan remained silent. Xue Xiang was thinking very carefully and immediately felt that something was wrong. He thought to himself, did he say something wrong? Why did Minister Wei, who was in high spirits before, become depressed? Could it be that he had said something wrong?
Could it be that she was complaining that she was too naked when she said "giving gifts to buy an official" directly? But there was no one else talking about a bottle of perfume at this moment. Although it was ridiculously expensive, but...
Xue Xiang was depressed. He felt that Minister Wei was too pretentious, so he planned to explain. Unexpectedly, when the word "Chanel" came out of his mouth again, Wei Lan walked away quickly without saying a word.
Xue Xiangchu was left stunned on the spot!
At this moment, Xue Laosan was thinking hard but couldn't figure out that he had offended Minister Wei. If it was broad daylight, he would definitely see the Minister of Health with his long legs moving quickly and his plump buttocks swaying, and his face as red as blood.
.
It turns out that Minister of Health was so shy that he could only hide his face and run away. Speaking of which, it’s strange that Xue Xiang just gave perfume when he gave him perfume. He insisted on using some London accent and saying "Chanel". Minister of Health is a master of traditional Chinese culture, right?
She is almost illiterate in English, so she doesn't know what "Chanel" is. The perfume bottle is full of foreign code, and she can't understand it at all. In addition, there is no such thing as "Chanel" in China nowadays.
There is no perfume, and there are even very few skin care products. There are only clam oil and cream in winter, which are all moisturizers. Minister Wei also used this bottle of Chanel for skin care. He only opened it this morning.
I didn't know where to protect myself, but Xue Xiang's words "Chanel" suddenly popped into my mind. Minister Wei's pale face suddenly turned red, he secretly spat, untied his clothes, and applied perfume on two snow-white jade balls.
It turned out that the Minister of Health regarded Chanel as "fragrant milk" based on the sound of the sound, and he applied it while spitting Xue Xiang's hand. Originally, the Minister of Health was very embarrassed, for fear that Xue Xiang would bring up the bottle of obscene gift.
, but this Xue Xiang seemed heartless and shameless, mouthing off "sweet milk". No matter how well-educated Minister Wei was, he couldn't stand it and had to run away.
………
The sun was shining brightly outside the window and the air was fresh. Yu Dingzhong rubbed the corners of his dry eyes, stood in front of the window and looked out from the window. In the northwest corner of the compound, under the grape trellis, Xue Xiangzheng was doing Tai Chi with one move after another. Yu Dingzhong was not impressed by the slow movements of his fists and kicks.
I thought it was the way young people like Xue Xiang exercised. After watching it for a while, I lost interest, walked back to the table, and suddenly said: "How is the hardware factory doing now? Is it very profitable?"
He Lin, who was immersed in his papers, quickly stood up and said, "I don't know if they are good or not, but recently there have been a lot of bicycles produced by hardware factories in the county. My brother also sold one. The workmanship is very good. To be honest, it is better than the ones in the area."
The camels and horses are much better, but the machines at the hardware factory are running all night these days. I heard that two more production lines have been added, and the workshop is also working in three shifts. Judging from this situation, it is probably very good."
He Lin knew that his leader was extremely difficult to deal with, so collecting information about that leader was naturally included in He Lin's daily work.
"Are you afraid it's great? What you are saying is interesting. Isn't it good that the efficiency of the hardware factory has improved? I'm still afraid!" Yu Dingzhong smiled and said: "Okay, you go and arrest Director Mao of the Finance Bureau, no, arrest Deputy Zhang
The director called."
He Lin bowed and said: "Leader, at 8:10 in the morning, you are going to attend the sorority party at the veteran cadre office."
Yu Dingzhong waved his hand: "I'm not going, go call Deputy Director Zhang. By the way, in the future, all such visits, inspections, social gatherings and other activities will be cancelled. Also, you can go to the county office every day to check the daily routine of County Magistrate Xue."
Make arrangements and give me a copy."
He Lin couldn't believe his ears. With County Magistrate Yu's request, he was undoubtedly telling himself that he would no longer do any work in the future and would just stare at Magistrate Xue from all directions. Could it be that Magistrate Yu had no intention of doing anything to Magistrate Xue?
After repeated defeats in battles, the commander has a shadow in his heart and is determined to learn from his enemy? Or is it that County Commissioner Yu is planning to fight with County Magistrate Xue, attacking with all his strength, looking for omissions, and hoping to kill the enemy in one fell swoop?
He Lin couldn't understand, but the leader gave his orders. No matter if he had any questions, he had to keep them in his mind and do as he was told...)
