Minister Xiang said: "How much does it mean? If your secretary and mayor don't drink it, I won't drink it at all. My blood lipids have been high recently."
Secretary Pu and Mayor Hong hurriedly said: "How can we not drink? We just know how many pounds we have. I'm afraid that together we won't be able to accompany the leader. Let Xiao Tao accompany him more. In addition, we still have our
Where is the killer Secretary Hu Xiaoying, we will definitely accompany Minister Xiang today, Xiaoying, don’t you think so?”
Hu Xiaoying said: "Today I risk my life to accompany the gentleman. Minister Xiang is destined to our Changhu District. Minister Xiang's daughter is a good friend of our Shimian Town Liang Jian, that is, a good friend of our Shimian Town. We are ten
Zhong Tao, secretary of the Party Committee of Mian Town, knew about it and asked me for instructions three times today, saying that he wanted to come and toast the leader, but I said it was better to forget it."
Mayor Hongxu said: "He'd better forget it."
Hu Xiaoying said: "That's good. I'll just give Minister Xiang a glass of wine on behalf of Shimian Town."
The meal has arrived. The dishes on this table can be described as fresh seafood, abalone soup, salmon, geoduck, beef heads imported from New Zealand, Yangtze River anchovies... There are less than ten people, and a table full of dishes is served. Liang Jian feels like this
The eating method was really wasteful, but almost no one sitting there cared. Liang Jian looked at Xiang Jin. She looked a little dazed today. She didn't look like she was alone with him at all. She seemed to be worried. Liang Jian
I really regret coming to have this meal with her. Although the food is delicious, eating with these officials is tasteless.
The banquet among the officials came to an end. Xiang Jin's father suddenly stood up and came to Liang Jianyan's side with a cup in hand.
Liang Jian also stood up.
Minister Xiang said: "Liang Jian, thank you very much for taking care of our Xiang Jin during this period. Our Xiang Jin is young and very naughty. He must have caused you a lot of trouble during this period, right? I'll do it first as a respect."
."
Liang Jian said: "I don't think it's troublesome. I live alone anyway. It's just an extra bed for her to come."
As soon as Liang Jian said these words, Minister Xiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said: "Okay, it's okay. It's no trouble."
Pu Zheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, Hongxu, the mayor, and Hu Xiaoying, the secretary of the district party committee, all looked at each other in shock and thought, if Liang Jian and Xiang Jin are together, won't they be Minister Xiang's son-in-law from now on?
Only Secretary Tao listened and felt extremely uncomfortable. He thought to himself, where did this kid get the blessing to find the daughter of a high-ranking official like Minister Xiang's daughter? If it were me, how great would it be...
Pu Zheng stood up and came to Liang Jian, "Liang Jian is a hero from a young age! Let me toast you."
After toasting, Pu Zheng turned to Hu Xiaoying: "Secretary Hu, what position does Liang Jian currently hold in our Shimian Town? Is he a member of the party committee or the deputy mayor?"
Hu Xiaoying said in embarrassment: "Not yet. Liang Jian used to be secretary of the party committee. Currently, there is nothing..."
When Hongxu heard this, he quickly said: "Comrade Xiaoying, your district committee has the responsibility to cultivate young talents like Liang Jian. When it's time to promote them, they should be promoted. Cadres can't afford to wait. Minister Xiang
You think so?"
Minister Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "Liang Jian is almost thirty, isn't he? When I was thirty, I was already the deputy regimental officer."
Liang Jiandao: "That's different. There are many grassroots cadres who have been just clerks their entire lives."
Pu Zhengdao: "Listen, we really need to pay more attention to grassroots cadres."
During this meal, Xiang Jin didn't talk much. She didn't drink much. When everyone toasted her, she just said it. After drinking, the leaders of the municipal party committee and city government said that they would accompany Minister Xiang to activities again. Xiang Jin proposed
I want to go back with Liang Jian.
Minister Xiang said to his daughter: "Okay, you go back first, you prepare, we will leave early tomorrow morning." Then he turned to Liang Jian and said: "Liang Jian, thank you for taking care of our Xiang Jin some time ago, and we will hand her back to you from tomorrow on."
Let me do it. I will not treat you badly for the care you give Xiang Jin."
Liang Jiandao: "This is between Xiang Jin and me. I don't need you to give me anything."
Minister Xiang looked at him intently and said, "I understand."
Because he was drunk, for safety reasons, Xiang Jin suggested that Liang Jian not drive and take the bodyguard Gan Bao's car back. Although Liang Jian had always seen Gan Bao coming and going downstairs during this period, he had never taken a ride in his Audi car.
Compared with his own car, the Audi car was obviously much more expensive and had much better safety performance. Liang Jian thought it would be nice to ride in the bodyguard's car, so he and Xiang Jin got in it.
After getting in the car, Liang Jiandao said: "Mr. Bodyguard, does this car feel good?"
Gan Bao said "thank you" and stopped talking.
Xiang Jin said: "Qian Bao doesn't talk much."
When the car passed a citizen park, Xiang Jin suddenly said: "Stop."
Qian Bao stepped on the brakes. Xiang Jin said: "Let's go to the park for a walk. After we eat, it might be more comfortable to take a walk."
Qian Bao said: "It may not be safe in the park at night, I will accompany you."
Xiang Jin said: "Qian Bao, please stay in the car. Liang Jian will accompany me, just wait in the car."
Gan Bao could only say: "I understand."
Liang Jian also felt uncomfortable after eating this meal. He felt like something was settling in his stomach and he really needed to go for a walk. The two of them walked towards the park.
This citizen park is also called King Xiang Park. It is said that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, once built a city here to store troops. The story of King Xiang has also been passed down. Recently, King Xiang Park has been rebuilt as one of the top ten people's livelihood projects. The built King Xiang Park
, the city gate is high and the cruise ships linger, it has become a good place for citizens to exercise in the morning and take a walk in the evening. In the park, there are river beaches and woods, lively places and quiet places.
Not to mention the lively place, it is a place for the elderly to chat and exercise. In the quiet place, there are also many young people having trysts. It is not too early to finish dinner. By now, we have arrived at the park. The people walking and exercising have dispersed. In the park
It seemed quiet. The shadows of the two people sometimes lengthened and sometimes shortened under the street lights.
Liang Jian felt that Xiang Jin wanted to go for a walk in the park not just because of digestive problems, but because he had something to say, but he still didn’t know what Xiang Jin wanted to say to him. Liang Jian said: "Today’s meal, eat
Is it a little hard to digest?”
Xiang Jin didn't answer him, but suddenly stopped and said, "Liang Jian, I have to leave tomorrow and go back with my dad."
Liang Jian didn't stop and continued walking forward. After hearing what Xiang Jin said, he couldn't find anything to say for a while. In his heart, he had expected this day to come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. If he
He said that he didn't think he had such capital to let Xiang Jin stay. Today's meal was accompanied by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor. It can be seen that Xiang Jin's father's status is not trivial. The daughter of such a high-ranking official, today's
He can't reach such a high level. Even if people don't dislike his origin and background, he also understands the saying, "It's wrong to belong to the wrong family". Although this is an old-fashioned concept, in this era, this sentence is too much.
And nothing less. If we become a family from the wrong family, it will be more or less awkward. If you let him say "Okay, you can go, I finally have one less person to bother me", such a joke, if the two people are together, it will be awkward.
It's not that he couldn't tell people when they first met, but now the relationship between the two is no longer what it was before. He still swallowed this kind of joke when it came to his lips, and he couldn't say it. People often can't make jokes about things they care about.
Come.
Xiang Jin caught up a few steps: "Don't you have anything to say to me the night before leaving?" Liang Jian said: "Yes, this park is called King Xiang Park, and your surname is Xiang. It's quite a coincidence.
"Xiang Jin said: "Is this what you want to say to me?" Liang Jiandao: "No. I have one more thing to tell you." Xiang Jin seemed to be expecting: "What?" Liang Jiandao: "It's the tree in front of you.
?”
Xiang Jin saw a tree twenty steps away. It should be an old camphor tree. Even on this increasingly cold day, it was lush and green. Xiang Jin asked: "What's wrong with this tree?" Liang Jian said: "We
Go over and take a look.”
When they came under the tree, the two of them looked at the camphor tree. Since it was in a secluded corner with no pedestrians coming and going around, it seemed particularly quiet. Liang Jian pointed to a branch above and said: "On this big branch
"There was once a girl who hung herself here with a rope for the man who dumped her, with her tongue hanging out. Her feet were dangling in this position." Liang Jian measured it with his hands.
The position of Xiang Jin's brow. Speaking of such things in such a quiet time, Xiang Jin felt eerie. At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind around him, and the leaves were rustling. Xiang Jin felt even more frightened, so he grabbed Liang Jian's shoulders.
Liang Jiandao: "I didn't expect that you would be scared sometimes." Xiang Jin hit his shoulder with his hand: "Hey, I am a girl, of course I have the right to be afraid." Liang Jiandao: "But I always feel that you are very courageous.
Running away from home, racing with men, living in strange men's homes..." Xiang Jin said: "The bolder a person behaves, the more vulnerable he may be. If a person really possesses something, there is no need to show it deliberately.
."
Hearing what she said, Liang Jian thought about the fact that she had lost her mother when she was a child. Although his father was in a high position, he must have many imperfections and his care for her must not be adequate. Thinking about it this way, although he was not a high-ranking official
Parents, but both are healthy, and the care they have received since childhood is also healthy. Thinking of this, Liang Jian hugged Xiang Jin tightly with his arms, and the two of them continued to walk forward.
Xiang Jin suddenly asked: "If you were asked to make a choice between never being an official and never seeing me, which one would you choose?" Liang Jian pursed his lips and smiled at her: "Do you even need to ask?
I'm not an official anyway, and I don't know what the benefits of being an official are. If I never see you, I would rather not be an official for the rest of my life." Xiang Jin smiled and said, "You didn't become an official today, so you don't know what it means to be an official.
The taste, so to speak, is naturally very easy. Once you have been an official, it will be different." Liang Jian said: "Then you let me try being an official? I promise that no matter how long I stay as an official, I will still say the same thing.
The problem is, you can't stay for me, your father is the first to disagree."
Xiang Jin said: "Why do you want me to stay? Do you always just want to hang out in a small place like Jingzhou? Why don't you work hard, make progress, and come to Beijing to find me? Then let me
