We found a corner to sit down, and the waiter came and lit candles for us, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and romantic. The decoration design here is a combination of East and West, which looks endlessly beautiful.
On Chang'an Street, one side has red taillights, and the other side has the magnificent sight of headlights. Sitting here, you can also see landmark buildings such as Tiananmen Square, and even the outline of the Western Mountains farther away. I immediately felt in my heart
Sigh: The huge and congested city of Beijing during the day now seems so close at hand, and everything becomes so small.
The waiter came over and asked us what we wanted. I smiled and said to Mi Xiaofu, "Tell me, I'm not familiar with this place."
Mi Xiaofu asked me: "Well, can we drink some foreign wine? You weren't drunk earlier, were you?"
I smiled and said, "It seems okay."
The waiter gave her the drink list, but she didn't look at it and casually ordered a bottle of French brandy and some snacks.
"This place is really nice, do you come here often?" I asked the waiter after she left.
She smiled lightly at me and said, "Yes. This place is very quiet. Because the consumption is high, ordinary people rarely come here. This is also the favorite place for celebrities."
I immediately laughed, "I guess those paparazzi people can't get in because the cost of spying on celebrities is too high."
She also smiled, "Yes."
I immediately said to her: "Miss Mi, I'm sorry. So far there is no news about the city promotion thing I told you last time. The executive deputy governor of our province told me about it at that time, but now
He has been transferred to Beijing to work. But we in Dongjiang are ready to do this work. We have an idea to build our city like Lijiang, and we must keep up in advance in terms of publicity."
She smiled and said: "Mayor Feng, it's okay, it's not a big deal. I can help you with Dongjiang's publicity. The president's statement today is not bad. I guess you can get the news tomorrow.
.By the way, from now on, don’t call me Miss Mi in private. Just call me Xiaofu. I’ll just call you by your first name, otherwise it will look like we are very different.”
She suddenly changed the topic to the president of the plenary committee, which made me immediately feel that she might have something more important to tell me today. Moreover, she took the initiative to talk to me about things earlier, which explains the problem even more.
.
But I won't just ask her directly. In such an atmosphere, some words that are too direct will be very unpleasant.
I smiled and said, "Okay. Xiaofu...hehe! Why do I feel so awkward calling you like this?"
She also laughed, "Just get used to it. People in my family and friends around me all call me that."
I smiled and continued what I said before, "Xiaofu, I am very grateful to you for what happened today. By the way, Xiaofu, this president of the whole association is very considerate to you. It seems that you are very popular."
She smiled and said: "After all, I am the host of CCTV. I once made a program about the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, and later attended the parties held by them several times, so we became familiar with each other."
Of course I don't completely believe it, "I heard that it would be difficult for professionals like you to get into CCTV, right?"
She nodded, "Yes. Many people get in through connections, but strength is still very important. After all, CCTV faces a national audience. I joined CCTV when my uncle was still in office. He was the head of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television at the time.
Unfortunately, he was in poor health and died of cancer two years ago.
The current society is like this. It is difficult to move forward without connections. It is impossible for people like me to work in it for a lifetime, so I want to find a way out while I am young.
I think I can work there for ten more years at most, right? You also know that units like ours now, especially front-line hosts, change very quickly."
I was also very emotional, "Yeah. I feel a lot of pressure in everything I do now. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something? Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to do it for you.
Do it. We are friends. If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as it doesn’t go against the principles."
She smiled and said: "Let's have a drink first. The main reason is that I'm not in a good mood today and I want to find someone to talk to."
My heart suddenly relaxed, "Oh? Why?"
She shook her head and smiled at the same time, "I am a woman, and there are always a few days like this every month."
I also laughed, "I used to be an obstetrician and gynecologist, so I understand very well."
She immediately laughed, "I remembered, you seemed to have told me this. I never thought that you were an obstetrician and gynecologist before. This is incredible."
I smiled and said, "What's so incredible about this? There are many male doctors in obstetrics and gynecology around the world. And most of the most skilled obstetricians and gynecologists are men."
At this time, the waiter brought wine and snacks. Mi Xiaofu raised her glass to me and we drank it together. She smiled and said, "This wine is really refreshing, I like it."
I smiled and asked her: "Why didn't you drink before?"
She shook her head and said: "No matter what, I have to maintain a certain image in public, right? And I have had dinner with the president more than once, and I rarely drink. I drank this time, what about next time?
?So, this precedent cannot be set in front of him, lest it offend others in the future."
I understood immediately, and at the same time I admired her intelligence and persistence. Moreover, I now know one more thing: She really wanted to drink today, but she just wanted to drink alone with me. This shows that her
I am lonely inside and have few real friends.
I raised my glass to her, "Xiaofu, thank you, because you treat me as a true friend."
She came to clink glasses with me and drank, then smiled and said to me: "Do you know why I had a crush on you after I first met you?"
I thought about it and said, "I think it has something to do with Mr. Peter. He had a pretty good conversation with me when he came to our Jiangnan Province."
She nodded, "Yes. Peter praised you very much. He told me that you are the most energetic person he has ever seen among the officials in our country. He said that you are not only young, but also very forward-thinking."
He also said that he had always been biased against our country in the past, just because our huge market attracted him, but since meeting you, he has changed his view somewhat and feels that the future hope of our country may rest on you.
It’s the fault of a generation of officials.”
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xiao Fu, you can't say such things casually. Who am I?"
In our country, there are still many officials like me, and I don’t have much background. At most, I can only manage the area under my jurisdiction.
As a country, the most important thing is the core of power. That core is like the center of the galaxy, but I am only in the position of the earth." (To be continued)
