I immediately looked outside the cabin, but I found that it was pitch black outside and there was no trace of the city at all. But I already had the feeling that the plane was descending, sinking and sinking. Soon, the plane

We landed at a certain height, and I could see the mountain not far away on my side. The mountain seemed to be a construction site, with bright lights, far in front of me.

But I found that the plane didn't seem to be moving, because the lights seemed to have been stuck there, making the relative motion of the plane almost zero.

No, it's still moving, just very slowly.

Director Leng and the old director next to me were sleeping so soundly, which made me feel even more that the speed of the plane was extremely slow and the time passed so long. I closed my eyes reluctantly. I knew,

I was anxious because I was anxious to get off the plane as soon as possible, to merge into the city of Beijing as soon as possible, and then start this challenge as soon as possible.[

Time passed so slowly. Not long after I closed my eyes, I couldn't help opening them, but the brightly lit place had just been left behind.

Half an hour later, the plane finally landed at the Capital Airport. I finally felt relieved as the plane landed. I gently touched Director Leng and said, "Director Leng, we're here. Please wake up...

..”

He woke up and said, "It's great, we're finally here."

I couldn't help but think he was very funny, "Director Leng, you fly often, do you sleep like this every time?"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no way. If it doesn't work, you have to take sleeping pills, so I am often woken up by the stewardess after arriving."

I laughed out loud all of a sudden.

The old director said over there: "Every time I go on a business trip and fly with him, we talk about it the most. I can't sleep, so I have to close my eyes and think about things."

We all laughed.

After leaving the airport, I found someone actually coming to pick me up. Director Liang told me that it was him who made the call to the Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing. The office director of the Office in Beijing was his classmate.

I kept praising him for his thoughtfulness, but at the same time I blamed myself: You should have thought of such a thing earlier? Director Leng is with us, do we still have to take a taxi? Only now do I realize that I do have

There are many shortcomings. After all, I have never been in a department-level position in a provincial department, let alone an office director. Now I seem to understand why so many people with a secretarial background are easy to make progress, because they are at least arranging leaders.

The issue will be more thorough and detailed.

The person who came to pick us up was a beautiful woman in her thirties, with a straight waist, fair skin, and a dignified manner. As soon as Director Liang saw her, he immediately introduced us to her. He mainly introduced her.

It's me. From Director Liang's introduction, I found out that her name is Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang smiled and said to us: "I know Director Leng. We had dinner together in Beijing."

Director Leng smiled and said, "Yes. Xiao Wu is very enthusiastic."

Wu Shuang smiled and said, "That's what I do. Director Leng, thank you for your praise." Then she looked at the old director and said with a smile, "Director Li, is he still so energetic?"

The old director pointed at her and said, "Girl, don't make fun of my old man."

It seems that they are very familiar with each other. But this is also a very natural thing. After all, he is the former director of admissions. He must often deal with the Beijing Office, not to mention the relationship with Director Liang. I thought to myself.

Wu Shuang immediately came to look at me and smiled, "I have heard of Director Feng for a long time. I was still surprised when I saw him today. I rarely see such a young leader."

I smiled and said, "Director Wu is the leader. You are the representative of our Jiangnan Province sent to the capital, and you are in contact with all the top leaders."

She immediately laughed, "Director Feng, you are mistaken. I am not the director of our Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing. I am the office director of the Beijing Office, a division-level cadre." [

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It's the same, almost. Haha!"

Wu Shuang brought a blue Buick business car. After getting in the car, she asked us: "Dear leaders, can you live in our office?"

Director Leng said: "That's not necessary. You are too busy and often have to receive big leaders from the province. We'd better stay in a hotel. Please help us book four rooms in a five-star hotel close to the Ministry of Education."

The old director said hurriedly: "Three rooms are enough. Xiaoliang and I will live together."

Director Leng immediately laughed, "Lao Li, you, we are out to do something this time, please don't be so obsessed with money, okay? People will see our sincerity. When the time comes, we will ask the Ministry of Education at the hotel where we are staying.

It would be too embarrassing if people saw us living together."

I also said: "Director Leng is right. Director Wu, please book four rooms for us. Director Leng wants a luxurious suite. We can discuss things in his room at any time."

Wu Shuang quickly booked a room for us. She is the director of the Beijing Office, so such a thing is a piece of cake for her.

However, she did not let us go directly to the hotel. Instead, she took us to a restaurant first. She smiled and said to us: "Dear leaders, I will treat you to a drink today. As the office director of the Beijing Office, I must

Do your best. Please don’t refuse.”

Director Leng laughed, "I won't refuse, I promise not to refuse."

This is a specialty restaurant. In fact, Wu Shuang had already booked a private room. The dishes were served quickly after we sat down. Wu Shuang ordered Wuliangye. She smiled and said to the old director: "I know you like it."

Drink Maotai, but as you know, there are too many fake Maotai wines, but our Wuliangye can be guaranteed to be genuine because we take it directly from the distillery."

The old director smiled and said, "You are the one who still hurts me."

Wu Shuang said: "I know you may not be used to eating northern food, so I chose this southern Hunan restaurant. The taste is a bit spicy. I know that Director Leng and Director Li both like spicy food. I

My classmate, Director Liang, is even more dissatisfied with spicy food. I wonder if Director Feng can eat spicy food?"

I smiled and said, "I am a native of Jiangnan Province, so of course I have no problem eating spicy food."

Director Leng said with a smile: "Actually, the difference between northern cuisine and southern cuisine is the same as the difference between northerners and southerners. The ingredients of northern cuisine are pure, large, and the processing is mainly stewed. It is heavy in oil and has a strong taste.

It's very enjoyable to eat because the flavor is fully absorbed. The most interesting thing is that the ingredients in a dish taste very even after being fully stewed or smoked. For example, the smoked pickles, Los Angeles chicken, quail eggs, and the whole body are all in one dish.

Taste, you can't even tell which one is quail egg and which one is chicken wing just by your nose. Another example is chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled cabbage stewed with white meat, each dish has the same taste. It's like a northerner who was born in a place with high latitudes and is tall.

Generally speaking, people have formed a homogeneous relationship with each other due to kinship, work, gangs, etc. There are a lot of modest words in their words, like this: necessary. Haha! It shows intimacy, stable relationship, and mutual recognition.

Southern cuisine is different. The ingredients of southern cuisine are small and delicate. For example, celery is different from the thick and big celery in the north. Southern celery has many kinds of celery, water celery, parsley, etc. It is watery and fragrant.

, and the taste is different. When processing, ingredients with different flavors are often used. After simple stir-frying, the taste of the ingredients is still different. For example, parsley pork shreds are shredded pork, parsley, dried tofu, and pickled mustard.

Stir-fried shredded vegetables, the flavor of celery is still celery, and mustard is the flavor of mustard. It tastes like a mixture of flavors, but it is so harmonious and wonderful. This home-cooked dish is of course related to the climate in the south. The weather is not that cold, so there is no need

Stewing and repeated heating. Southern cuisine is also very similar to southerners. Southerners tend to have greater personality differences with each other. They like to communicate with each other but are unwilling to give up on themselves. They can share opinions but do not pursue consensus. They are a bit gentlemen who are harmonious but different.

Taste. So, I think, the south is closer to the market, closer to democratic civil society, and closer to saints, don’t you think so?"

We all said that what he said was right and to the point. Although there was a hint of flattery in this, it also meant a sincere compliment.

We were drinking together with people from home in Beijing, and Wu Shuang was the director of our Jiangnan Provincial Office in Beijing, so we were very casual, and we were laughing and laughing all the time while eating and drinking.

Wu Shuang was a big drinker. She toasted each of us several times but her expression remained the same. Later, she mainly came to toast me. She said to me: "Director Feng, this is the first time I have met you.

I need to toast you a few more times. From now on, if you go to Beijing, please contact me at any time. This old classmate of mine is your subordinate, so you must take more care of him from now on."

I smiled and said, "Director Liang is very capable. Let him and I take care of each other. Director Wu, you should also take care of me more?"

She smiled and said: "Director Feng is so polite. You are the leader."

I smiled and said: "Today we are all from our hometown, don't always talk about leadership and the like. This will give you more points. Right Director Leng, old director?"

They both laughed, "Xiao Feng is right. [`Novel`]"

After dinner, Wu Shuang sent us to the hotel. I found her arrangement for us was very strange: the four of us were actually placed on different floors. After thinking about it, I immediately understood: she wanted to give each of us a

Private space.[

It seems that the office director of the Beijing Office is really different.

Wu Shuang said goodbye to us in the lobby of the hotel, and also said many kind words to us, such as "If you need anything, please feel free to contact her."

Then we went to Director Leng's suite together first, and then went to our rooms respectively. Director Leng said: "Let's all have a rest today. I will explain the itinerary in detail at breakfast tomorrow morning. Because I have to go back to the room tonight."

Call the leaders of Peking University and Tsinghua University respectively, and then confirm the specific time to meet with them."

Then Director Liang and I sent Director Leng to his room. After settling him, I went upstairs by myself without letting Director Liang see me off. I joked with him: "Go and catch up with your old classmate.

, I’ll give you a day off tonight.”

He smiled bitterly and said: "How can I have such qualifications? My eyes are looking up to the sky."

I laughed. At that time, I thought he was saying that Wu Shuang was very arrogant, and I thought that it was natural for someone so beautiful to be arrogant. Later I found out that Director Liang’s words had a deeper meaning.

The first thing I did after I got to my room was to take a shower, because I was sweating all over on the plane. And now that I had just drank, I felt wet all over and felt very uncomfortable.

The standard rooms in Beijing's five-star hotels are actually not very good. The rooms are too small and too compact. However, the facilities inside are very good and the hot water supply is very sufficient. Beijing is a water-restricted city, and only hotels like this can

Guaranteed 24-hour hot water supply.

While I was taking a shower, I heard my cell phone ringing outside, but I didn't pay attention to it. I thought maybe it was Director Leng calling me. If it was really him who was looking for me, he would just go straight down after taking a shower.

After I came out of the shower, I felt that the base of my tongue was a little bitter, and I immediately felt that I might have a yin deficiency and a yang hyperactivity.

I picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number. I immediately dialed it and said, "Hello, this is Feng Xiao."

I speak Mandarin, after all I am in Beijing.

A woman's laughter suddenly came from the phone, and the voice sounded very familiar, "Director Feng, your Mandarin is very standard."

She also spoke Mandarin, and I immediately recognized her as Wu Shuang.

It’s not surprising that she knows my number. She is the office director of the Liaison Office in Beijing. It’s not surprising that she has the phone numbers of the heads of various departments in Jiangnan Province. What’s more, her classmates are traveling with me. But I’m a little surprised.

:Why is she calling me?

I smiled into the phone and said, "I'm sorry, Director Wu, it's not convenient to answer the phone just now."

She immediately laughed and said, "No way, Director Feng, do you have an appointment with your girlfriend so soon?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly I realized that I had made up my mind, "It would be great if I had a girlfriend. I was taking a shower just now, and my phone was left outside. Haha! Don't misunderstand me."

She was still smiling, "Of course I won't misunderstand. Director Feng is young and promising, so possible to make such a stupid mistake? But I heard that Director Feng has a confidante in Beijing... Hehe!

Director Feng, when will you invite her out to meet with me? She is from Jiangnan, and she is considered a celebrity. We still need her help in the work of our office."
