This time, Xiao Zheng only asked Tao Fang, the party and government office, to take them with him. Many things could only be handled more conveniently when Tao Fang was around.
The three of them took Guan Wenwei's special car and headed straight to Jingzhou. When they arrived in the city, it was around five o'clock in the evening. Since they had agreed to eat, Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng did not go to the Municipal Rural Cooperative Bank.
, waiting for Gao Shengxue directly at the Tianshang Palace Hotel in the development zone.
The Tianshang Palace Hotel was built in a Roman style, with a ring of gold on the vault. Xiao Zheng had never been here before, and he felt the atmosphere when he walked into the lobby. He didn't know how Tao Fang found this place. Xiao Zheng
Zheng couldn't help but ask: "How much does it cost here?" Tao Fang whispered: "One hundred and fifty per person."
One hundred and fifty is not low, but fortunately there are not many people. Guan Wenwei seemed to hear what Xiao Zheng and Tao Fang were muttering, and said with a smile: "Mayor Xiao, I don't want to let the child catch the wolf. I think Tao Fang
It’s quite suitable to choose this place, don’t think it’s too expensive.”
It's nothing to eat or drink, but as the mayor, Xiao Zheng wanted to ask about it. When you're not a leader, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Once you're a leader, it's impossible to pretend that it doesn't matter how you spend it. In Xiao Zheng's opinion
, Public money can be spent, but it must be spent effectively and usefully, and it will be beneficial to the people. If he only cares about his own happiness, spending it will be like stealing the blood and sweat of the people, and Xiao Zheng will feel vaguely in his heart.
disturbed.
Xiao Zheng said: "As long as we can lend us a loan, I think it's worth it." Guan Wenwei said: "Gao Shengxue likes to drink. Today, Mayor Xiao and I are going to have a drink. Tao Fang, you are responsible for taking good care of us." Guan Wenwei said
Wei also takes care of Tao Fang. She is drunk. When the time comes to pay for the bills and other matters, who will handle it?
Tao Fang said: "Yes, Secretary Guan, I don't like drinking in the first place. But I will drink if you really want me to. Since today it is Secretary Guan and Secretary Xiao, I will defend you and take care of you."
.”
It is true that a wine shop is like a battlefield. The purpose of going to the battlefield is to kill the enemy and win the victory. The purpose of going to the wine shop is to defeat the opponent, and the purpose is also to win victory. There is almost no wine without a purpose, but if you drink, there must be something hidden behind it.
There is always a purpose, overt or covert, there. It’s just that many participants turn a blind eye, or even pretend they haven’t seen it.
Because drinking is like a game, participants want to devote themselves to it regardless of their purpose. People who cannot devote themselves are destined to be helpless, boring and have no sense of existence in the wine shop.
Guan Wenwei added: "Vice President Gao said today that he would bring a beautiful woman over." Many leaders eat and drink, and they can't stop eating and drinking without beautiful women. Could it be that Gao Shengxue is one of them? Xiao Zheng was not surprised and said:
"knew."
The private room was very comfortable. Although today was a small-scale dinner, the Tianshang Palace Hotel arranged seats for ten people in a very grand manner. The waiter served tea. Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng sat on the sofa and drank tea. Tao
Fang checked the menu given by the waiter and adjusted several dishes, saving hundreds of dollars in price.
Since you are inviting people to dinner, ostentation is necessary, but once you drink, you often don’t care much about the food, so some extravagant dishes are not necessary.
About half an hour later, Gao Shengxue came as expected, but instead of bringing one woman, he brought two. When Gao Shengxue introduced him, he smiled and said: "Secretary, Mayor Xiao, you two only brought one woman."
"There are two beauties, but I brought two of them by myself! This way our genders are balanced." Guan Wenwei said: "President Gao is still thoughtful and knows that our township has insufficient reserves of beauties."
Gao Shengxue introduced the beauties to Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng with a smile. At first, Xiao Zheng didn't notice that one of the beauties looked familiar to him. When Gao Shengxue introduced the name "Xu Fangfei", Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered a person
, that was Xiao Zheng’s female classmate in the senior grade of elementary school.
When Xiao Zheng was in elementary school, he went to two elementary schools, one was a village elementary school and the other was a town elementary school. When it came to studying, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei were foresighted. They knew that the village elementary school did not have a formal teacher.
, the quality of the class must have been greatly compromised, so Xiao Rongrong found a relationship and went to the principal of the town primary school to say hello and let Xiao Zheng go to the town primary school to study.
When he first arrived at the town's primary school, Xiao Zheng was always worried that he would not be able to keep up, as he was a child from the village, so he studied very hard. He aimed at the girl who was the first in the class and watched how she studied.
He just learned how to study. This girl was Xu Fangfei, the monitor of the class at the time!
Unexpectedly, after one semester, Xiao Zheng actually ranked first in the class in the fifth grade final exam. The head teacher came to Xiao Zheng, performed for him, and promised that if he was willing, he would be the teacher next semester.
Squad leader. But Xiao Zheng said that he was learning from Xu Fangfei, so Xu Fangfei should be the squad leader, and he should be the deputy squad leader.
Unexpectedly, the head teacher valued Xiao Zheng even more because of this and felt that he was a very sensible child. At the same time, he also told Xu Fangfei about this. Xu Fangfei actually wrote a letter to Xiao Zheng: "You are excellent and very good!"
This slight, hazy feeling began to sprout in the hearts of two children who were only twelve years old.
Many people experience their first hazy relationship when they are twelve or thirteen years old. Like many people, this hazy relationship is fruitless in the end. However, Xiao Zheng clearly remembers that Xu Fangfei finally
The reason why I gradually distanced myself was because after I entered junior high school, the son of a mine boss appeared. Seeing that Xu Fangfei was the best among the girls in the school, he started to attack Xu Fangfei.
When the material conditions were so poor at that time, the son of the mine boss had already sent flowers and chocolates to Xu Fangfei. Xu Fangfei refused at first, but the son of the mine kept stalking her and never let go.
Xiao Zheng knew that he was not as good as the mine owner's son in terms of material conditions, and the relationship between him and Xu Fangfei was hazy. He had never confessed his feelings, and he didn't know how to express his feelings.
Later, when we saw that Xu Fangfei and the son of the mine owner had entered and left together, the relationship between Xiao Zheng and Xu Fangfei returned to that of ordinary classmates. Then, the countdown to the tense high school entrance examination began, and Xiao Zheng also devoted himself wholeheartedly.
When it came time to prepare for the exam, he heard for a while that Xu Fangfei's grades had dropped. Xiao Zheng sometimes secretly felt sorry for Xu Fangfei.
However, a piece of good news came. The son of the mine owner was arrested, given a suspended sentence, and expelled from school. Xu Fangfei started studying again, and her grades kept up. But in the end, Xu Fangfei did not behave like
Xiao Zheng was admitted to a first-rate provincial key school like Anxian No. 1 Middle School, but he was admitted to Jingzhou No. 2 Middle School, a second-rate provincial key school. The quality of the high school largely determines the quality of the university.
In the end, Xiao Zheng was admitted to Hangcheng University, a national key university, while Xu Fangfei was said to have been admitted to Jin Normal University, a second-rate university. After graduation, he returned to Jingzhou No. 2 Middle School and became a high school teacher. During this period,
Xiao Zheng and Xu Fangfei have not spoken on the phone or met in person.
So, at first glance today, Xiao Zheng was stunned and didn't recognize it. When he recognized it, Xiao Zheng's heart moved slightly. This shows that Xu Fangfei really left a mark in the young Xiao Zheng's heart.
There are many old friends who have left traces. Maybe you haven’t seen them for decades, but when you meet again by chance, the feeling from that time is still there.
Everything that happened when he was in the fifth or sixth grade of the town's primary school suddenly came to Xiao Zheng's mind. Life was so beautiful at that time, and he didn't even know what pressure was and what trouble was. Especially when he first arrived in the town's primary school.
At that time, all he wanted to do was learn to surpass Xu Fangfei. During that time, Xu Fangfei seemed to be everything to him. She was the one he wanted to surpass, and she was also the one he wanted to be recognized by.
Later, he really did it. Xu Fangfei even took the initiative to write a note to him. Life requires recognition. Xiao Zheng will never forget being recognized by the girl he looks up to. Some of the marks cannot be seen, not because they have disappeared.
Instead, it healed and was covered by the epidermis.
When you turn it over again, you will find that the mark is so deep right there. Xu Fangfei also had surprise in her eyes: "Are you Xiao Zheng?" Xiao Zheng had calmed down at this time.
Self-protective and calm, he smiled and said: "Yes, hello Xu Fangfei, it's been a long time."
Xu Fangfei also took the initiative to extend her hand to Xiao Zheng: "It's really been a long time." Xiao Zheng looked at her hand. The girl took the initiative to reach out to you. You couldn't help but shake it. Xiao Zheng shook hands with her, a kind of
The inner excitement and tremor were conveyed in the seemingly calm handshake between the two.
"Oh, I didn't expect Fang Fei to know our Mayor Xiao!" Gao Shengxue said in surprise.
Xu Fangfei let go of her hand and said: "President Gao, Xiao Zheng is my elementary school classmate." Vice President Gao Shengxue said with a smile, "Look, look, what I am doing today is simply providing Mayor Xiao.
What an excellent opportunity to meet old classmates. By the way, Fangfei, stop calling me by name. You should call me Mayor Xiao, the mayor of the town!"
Xu Fangfei looked at Xiao Zheng, with a smile on her face like a spring tide flowing over a grass embankment: "Xiao Zheng may be the first and youngest mayor in our class, but I am not surprised at all. Because.
In elementary school, he was the first boy whose grades exceeded mine. There was no other boy."
"Ouch!" Gao Shengxue laughed again, "It's incredible, Mayor Xiao was a top student when he was a child. No wonder he became the mayor at a young age. He has a bright future. Okay, there is no one else, let's sit down and eat.
Fang Fei is sitting next to Mayor Xiao."
Tao Fang glanced at Xiao Zheng with a hint of a smile, but this smile had a meaning. Xiao Zheng saw it and winked at her, showing that he was not who she imagined.
Guan Wenwei asked Gao Shengxue to sit at the main table, but Gao Shengxue refused to sit down and asked Guan Wenwei to sit. He sat next to Guan Wenwei. Next to Gao Shengxue was another beautiful woman; next to Guan Wenwei was Tao Fang;
Then there are Xiao Zheng and his elementary school classmate Xu Fangfei.
The wine party started and everyone became active. But only Xiao Zheng always felt that something was wrong. Although Xiao Zheng could recognize Xu Fangfei from the appearance, after everyone chatted and drank, Xiao Zheng found that inside,
Xu Fangfei is not the Xu Fangfei he knows.
Today's Xu Fangfei is no longer the shy, simple, and smart Xu Fangfei she was in elementary school. She is now very good at talking and flattering people. She even flatters Xiao Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Perhaps, in Xu Fangfei's eyes, Xiao Zheng is no longer the Xiao Zheng he was in elementary school, but maybe she appreciates Xiao Zheng more who is now the mayor.
