Lou Xinjiang said: "It doesn't matter. Brother, I am optimistic about you, but your luck has not come yet. Once your luck comes, you will be blessed with good luck. Why don't you come to my brother's place for a drink at noon, and I will relieve your worries.
."
Liang Jiandao: "It will save you the worry. Drinking is really good."
Lou Xinjiang said: "Come on. I'll call Fei Xin."
We drank at Lou Xinjiang's house at noon, and the three of us drank two kilograms of wine. There was nothing important to do in the afternoon, so Liang Jian simply rested on the armchair of Lou Xinjiang's house until the evening.
Although Lou Xinjiang drank, he still went to work in the village and came back in the evening. Liang Jian said to Lou Xinjiang's wife: "Sister-in-law, Brother Xinjiang is really dedicated. After drinking so much wine, he still didn't work this afternoon."
Go to work in the village?"
Lou Xinjiang's wife said: "That's what he is like. He got into trouble with Mao Abao. He said he would not give up until he became the village party secretary. So, usually his family's property was left to me. He went to get off work on time and didn't want to Let Mao A Bao make irresponsible remarks."
Liang Jiandao: "I really have to learn from him on this."
Lou Xinjiang's wife said: "Why should I study? You see, he doesn't care about family affairs and makes me tired!"
Just as he was talking, his cell phone rang, and it turned out to be Xiang Jin's call.
Xiang Jin said: "Let's have dinner together tonight? My dad is here."
Liang Jian didn't expect Xiang Jin's father to come as soon as he said he was coming. He was not prepared yet and said anxiously: "Your father is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I still have to book a place. The farmhouse is quite noisy, so it may not be possible."
You can order it..."
Xiang Jin said: "It's okay, there's no need to book it. If you have other arrangements, just come over."
Liang Jian washed his face with cold water, finally woke up, and drove to Jingzhou City.
Xiang Jin was already waiting downstairs. Liang Jian stopped the car and walked over quickly. When he didn't see Xiang Jin's father, he asked, "Where is your father?"
Xiang Jin said: "He is already waiting in the hotel."
Liang Jiandao: "Which hotel?"
Xiang Jin said: "Royal."
Liang Jiandao: "This hotel is our hotel with the highest star rating in Jingzhou, let's go?" He thought to himself, this time there will be a lot of bloodletting.
Xiang Jin nodded and waved to the bodyguard Gan Bao on the other side. The bodyguard Gan Bao nodded and got into his car.
Liang Jian asked Xiang Jin, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Is your father alone in the hotel, or is there someone else?"
Xiang Jin said: "It's impossible to be alone. He doesn't like to eat alone."
Liang Jiandao: "Who else is there?"
Xiang Jin: "I don't know either. I'll find out when I go there."
Liang Jian: "Is it appropriate for me to go to your father-daughter gathering? How about I drive you there? I'll forget about it. I'll pay for the meals and accommodation."
Xiang Jin: "He specifically said he wanted to invite you, but I'm afraid it's no longer your turn to treat him."
Liang Jian thought that his father was in a high position and there would be people rushing to treat him when he arrived in Jingzhou: "Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?"
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Why does he need to set up a Hongmen banquet to harm you?"
Liang Jian: "You are not harming me, you are asking me to let you go."
Xiang Jin turned his head: "Did you kidnap me? I didn't want to stay on my own?"
Liang Jian: "At first, you wanted to stay. But now, if you want to leave now, I really don't agree. What kind of place is my home? How can I come and leave as soon as I want?"
Xiang Jin said: "Is your home a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"
Liang Jiandao: "My home is a devil's cave."
Xiang Jin: "I didn't see it."
When the car arrived at the entrance of the Royal Hotel, Liang Jian found a parking space and stopped. Then he and Xiang Jin walked to the entrance of the hotel, then looked at the bodyguard Gan Bao: "Do you want to eat with him?"
Xiang Jin: "Probably not."
When Liang Jian and Xiang Jin passed through the revolving door together, two people suddenly caught up with them from behind. One of the young people shouted "Sorry, give way, give way" to clear the way for a middle-aged man behind him.
Because they were walking too fast, the young man bumped into Xiang Jin with his shoulder. Not long after Xiang Jin's legs and feet recovered, she was unsteady and almost fell to the ground. Liang Jian quickly put his arms around her to prevent her from falling.
Liang Jian said angrily: "Hey, how do you walk?"
The young man just glanced at Liang Jian and said, "We have something urgent."
Xiang Jin said, "You can't hit anyone if there's an emergency, right?"
The young man said: "You don't even look at the situation!"
Xiang Jin also got angry: "It depends on the situation when walking!"
Someone behind him said: "Sorry, he left a little too hastily. Sorry."
The speaker was a middle-aged man with regular features, a medium-to-high stature, and a steady walk. There was a trace of anxiety on his face. He followed the path opened by the young man and said in his mouth: "It's on the second floor, right? We don't sit there.
Elevator, take the stairs.”
The young man said: "Okay!" He also glanced disdainfully at Liang Jian and the others: "These people don't even look at who is behind them?"
But the middle-aged man said: "The road is for everyone to walk, so don't cause trouble."
Xiang Jin looked at the two people going upstairs via the side stairs and said, "Are you quite arrogant?"
Liang Jian recognized who the middle-aged man was. The middle-aged man was Hongxu, the current mayor of Jingzhou City. Liang Jian had not only seen Hongxu in Jingzhou News and Jingzhou Daily, Liang Jian had also seen Hongxu.
"True body". Hongxu visited Shimian Town for investigation a year ago. Huang Shaohua, then Party Secretary of Shimian Town, reported it and Liang Jian took notes at the meeting.
Liang Jiandao: "That middle-aged man is the mayor of Jingzhou City, and behind him should be his secretary."
Xiang Jin said: "The mayor is kind, but the secretary is so pretentious that he doesn't even understand common etiquette. He really shouldn't have such a secretary."
Liang Jiandao: "Many leaders' secretaries are more arrogant than the leaders themselves."
Xiang Jin: "My father is here today. I won't argue with them, otherwise I will make a fool of myself."
A waiter came next to him and asked, "Are you two guests from box 207?"
Xiang Jin said: "That's right. How do you know?"
The waiter smiled and said: "The owner of the box asked me to see if a young couple has arrived. I think it should be you."
Xiang Jin said: "Then you take us there."
The waiter guided them from the front. They went up to the second floor, passed the passage, and came to box 207. This is a box in the easternmost corner. It is separated from the boxes outside by a symbolic arch. The arch looks like a European retro Faust.
German style. Although the arch is symbolic, it isolates the hustle and bustle outside from the tranquility inside.
The waiter gently opened the door and said "please".
Liang Jian and Xiang Jin walked in.
As soon as he entered, Liang Jian felt his eyes tingling and uncomfortable. The first thing he saw was the young man rushing into them downstairs, and then he saw the mayor Hong Xu. His eyes flickered a little, and with this flicker,
He saw Pu Zheng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee again.
He usually sees the honors of municipal party committee secretaries, mayors, and other figures in the news media. He rarely sees them in person. Even if he does, he watches them from a distance during research or listens to their speeches in Taiwan.
He was chatting freely on the Internet. This time, he was a little surprised when he appeared in the same box. He thought he was in the wrong box. These big shots were all surrounding a middle-aged man, as if they were chatting or actively introducing something.
.
Suddenly a mezzo-soprano said from the side: "This is Minister Xiang's daughter, and we, Liang Jian, are you here?"
Liang Jian took a quick look and saw that it was Hu Xiaoying, secretary of the district committee. At this moment, he felt as if he was in a cloud.
The main leaders from the city to the district gathered in Box 207 of the Royal Hotel. The situation was very abnormal.
Just now, the big shots were just talking around the middle-aged man, not noticing the people coming in. Now when they heard Hu Xiaoying say this, they all turned around.
"Oh, Minister Xiang's daughter is here!" those people said.
The middle-aged man has a square face, broad forehead, and big earlobes. The three deep wrinkles on his forehead give people a very deep first impression. When he saw Xiang Jin, his eyes showed complex emotions of love, longing, and anger. These emotions were limited to his eyes.
, and did not show it in his expression. Liang Jian thought that this person called "Minister Xiang" should be Xiang Jin's father.
"Xiang Jin." The middle-aged man said.
"Dad." Xiang Jin called, but did not walk over, as if he was still angry with his father.
At this time, only Hongxu's secretary had his face blue, red, and white. He had bumped into them before and refused to apologize. Now he seemed to feel that something was wrong.
Hong Xu secretly glanced at his secretary, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at the leader.
As expected, Hongxu was very experienced. He quickly stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Minister Xiang, you, this daughter, are so naturally beautiful. We have met down below. My secretary, Xiao Tao, has beautiful eyes."
My hair got straight and I almost hit Ling Qianjin. I'm really sorry."
Hong Xu's words were an apology for their previous rudeness. When he said this, Secretary Tao's head drooped even lower.
Xiang Jin said: "Secretary Xiao Tao's eyes are straight. I'm afraid it's not because of what I look like, but because I blocked the leader's way..."
Hongxu didn't know what to say this time. His secretary stood there at a loss.
The middle-aged man said: "I'm afraid my daughter bumped into you. My daughter has the same personality as a boy. She is carefree and doesn't care about details."
Xiang Jin's father's reconciliation allowed Hongxu to find the right path: "Where, where, I think Ling Qianjin has the liveliness of a boy and the gentleness of a girl..."
Pu Zhengdao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee: "Let's not stand and talk for now. Since everyone is here, let's serve the table?"
Minister Xiang said: "Okay." Then he turned to Liang Jian, "Is this Liang Jian?"
Liang Jian nodded towards him and said, "Hello, Minister Xiang."
"Liang Jian?" Pu Zheng, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, heard Minister Xiang mention it, looked back at Liang Jian, and asked, "Who is Liang Jian?"
Hu Xiaoying, secretary of the district party committee, immediately said: "Liang Jian is a cadre of our Shimian Town. He is Xiang Jin's good friend, right?"
Pu Zhengdao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee: "Oh, okay, then please sit down, please sit down."
Secretary Xiao Tao whispered to Hong Xu: "Mayor Hong, I'm going downstairs to eat."
Under normal circumstances, the secretary does not sit at the same table as the leader, so Mayor Hong says "ok".
Unexpectedly, Pu Zhengdao, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee: "Xiao Tao, let's have dinner together today. You see, we are the only ones today. I am old and my drinking is getting worse. You, Mayor Hong, are not much better than me. Today, Minister Xiang
Come on, how can you do it without a good drink? Today you are going to help Duo Jing toast, do you understand?"
Secretary Tao glanced at Hongxu, as if asking for advice, and Hongxu said: "Secretary, Xiao Tao, please help me toast a few more glasses of wine, Minister Xiang has a lot of wine!"
