Chapter 24: They once built a love nest.

A group of people talked about the past again. This time, Director Wang asked, "Last time I saw Xiao Liu at the Municipal People's Congress, where was Xiao Xia? I remember one year, Xiao Xia was there You also helped me a lot when you went out."

This time, Mayor Shao and Director Zhou coughed together.

As the office director at that time, Pan Yijun could only say, "Dear leaders, the snacks are here, let's have some snacks."

Director Wang, who had stepped on the thunder twice in a row, looked at Xu Yanqing, the calmest person in the room, and didn't understand what was going on. .

Director Zhou couldn't stand it any longer, so he put his arm around Director Wang's neck and said, "Come on, let's go out and smoke a cigarette."

After the two left, Mayor Shao said to Pan Yijun, "Xiao Pan, go check the fruit plate. "

Where can I get the fruit plate? "

Apparently Mayor Shao wants to expel Pan Yijun.

Xu Yanqing poked Pan Yijun with his elbow.

Fortunately, this guy has become a lot smarter over the years, so he quickly got up.

Zhang Yawen was more knowledgeable. After all, he was the senior office director. He felt that Mayor Shao might have something to say alone, so he followed him out.

Mayor Shao said, "Yawen, go ask Director Zhou and Director Wang back later."

Zhang Yawen understood and went out.

Keeping Xu Yanqing and Cen Peiling is actually another key to this dinner.

Mayor Shao said to Xu Yanqing, "Yan Qing, you are in the new district now. If you have the opportunity, please take care of Xiao Cen."

Xu Yanqing looked at Mayor Shao and waited for him to elaborate.

Mayor Shao said, "Xiao Cen, Yan Qing is back. Although he is not the deputy district chief you are directly in charge of, as an old colleague, we can still talk more."

Xu Yanqing now remembered that there was a dinner where he didn't listen . Who mentioned it? Zhou Chao is now the deputy district chief in charge of Cen Peiling, and he seems to be dissatisfied with her.

It was not convenient to discuss these details at the dinner today. He said to Cen Peiling in front of Mayor Shao, "The dinner will be over soon. Let's find a place to sit down."

Cen Peiling said cheerfully, raised his glass and said thank you, then drank the wine. Drink it all.

Director Wang, who had already filled in the gossip about Xu Yanqing and Xia Jinxian's past, came back accompanied by Director Zhou and Zhang Yawen. When he walked in and saw Xu Yanqing, he couldn't say anything joking.

On the contrary, he sympathized with Xu Yanqing very much. He thought that the two had met several times in the capital, and he had even had sex with Xu Yanqing, but Xu Yanqing didn't say anything. This was really sad.

Fortunately, the group of people did not lose their interest because of this interruption. Everyone chatted about interesting things at work, and some personnel matters were also fully communicated at the dinner table.

We are all our own people, so there is no need to hide and tuck in when talking, and we can have a hearty meal.

After the banquet, Pan Yijun accompanied Xu Yanqing, followed by Cen Peiling, and went to a teahouse to drink tea.

Before leaving, Mayor Shao specifically called Xu Yanqing over and said, "I'm very happy that you can come back this time. If you need anything, come to me. Although the economic indicators are stressful, I will try my best to help you."

Xu Yanqing remembered . This kind of kindness was just like the care given by Minister Sun, but he was not good at expressing it, so he just said thank you.

Mayor Shao also knew what he was like. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Cen, please take care of me."

Xu Yanqing agreed.

In the tea room, Cen Peiling looked at Xu Yanqing and said, "Director Xu, I really didn't expect you to come back."

Xu Yanqing drank the tea made by Cen Peiling and laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that either."

The two of them were also considered golden partners in the management committee. Well, Cen Peiling is the chief of the introduction department, serving enterprises, and is a good expert in improving the business environment.

But when the management committee was split and merged, she came to the new district, first as the section chief of the Investment Promotion Committee, and later as the deputy director of the Commerce and Trade Committee.

Unfortunately, in those few years, Pan Yijun and others had not yet risen up, and the resources were not available. They had no backstage and background. It was not easy for them to become the director of the Real Estate Bureau in the past two years.

But Zhou Chao, the current deputy district chief in charge, is not very satisfied with her. The specific reason is probably that she did not follow Zhou Chao's instructions to use simple procedures on several projects, which made Zhou Chao a little dissatisfied.

After hearing this, Xu Yanqing basically understood that Zhou Chao had someone he wanted to arrange. He probably did some research and saw that Cen Peiling was unwilling to stand in line, so he naturally wanted to kick her away. He said that the real estate project auction process was too slow to implement. Failure to do so is nothing more than nitpicking.

He actually knows the process very well. After all, Zhou Chao started his career in land auctions.

Xu Yanqing then asked Cen Peiling, "The next step may be to establish the Bingang New District Administrative Committee. I am trying to get a few permanent establishments here in the office, saying it is a bureau-level unit, but District Chief Xie may want me to take charge. I will arrange a formal one." Executive deputy director at the division level, you are good at attracting investment and introducing enterprises, and you are familiar with projects and construction in the past few years. Do you have any ideas? It's different, but it's also risky."

Cen Peiling gave him more tea and said cheerfully, "Director Xu, no, now I'm going to call District Chief Xu. That's how I am. I can get along with you and have a good temper. It's up to you. I am willing to take any position that is assigned to me. If I don’t have a good temper, I will not take any high-ranking position you give me. If Zhang Yawen is not in the city to help me maintain the situation, it will be very difficult for me. The district couldn't get resources, and it was difficult for me to operate many projects that needed to be left open. The personnel relations in the bureau were also complicated. Zhou Chao often contacted the following deputy directors directly without me. So, he thought I didn't know? Frankly speaking, I don't want to do it either."

Xu Yanqing listened with a tea cup and said, "Just wait until I find a chance to make arrangements."

Cen Peiling said.

Mingren didn't say any secret words. The two of them explained the matter to each other and were ready to part ways.

After coming out of the tea room, Pan Yijun was still accompanying Xu Yanqing. Cen Peiling knew that they had a good relationship, so he took the initiative to leave.

Neither Xu Yanqing nor Pan Yijun drove. Pan Yijun asked, "Shall I take a walk with you?"

Xu Yanqing nodded.

Pan Yijun waited until no one else was around before asking him, "How is the divorce going?"

Xu Yanqing said, "It's just waiting. It takes time. It doesn't work once or twice. It's just a matter of property. I don't want anything. She didn't want anything in the end." I have to agree."

There was another key to this, but he couldn't say it.

Pan Yijun sighed, and he felt the same for his friend's frustration in marriage over the years.

Every time I come to Shanghai or the capital to see him, I rarely see him in high spirits.

Said to be deep and reserved, it is actually another kind of depression and unhappiness.

The two of them passed by a Yangzhou restaurant. Xu Yanqing looked up for a while and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you remember when we went to Yangzhou together?"

Pan Yijun said, "Yes."

The last annual meeting of the management committee was held in Yangzhou. of.

At that time, everyone knew that the management committee was going to be split up, so everyone was very relaxed.

Director Zhou took the lead in making noise at the party. He patted Xu Yanqing on the shoulder and said, "Yan Qing, you and Xiaoxia are going to treat us to a wedding banquet when you get married." In

front of colleagues from the entire management committee, he took the initiative to put his arm around her shoulders. , amidst the cheers of the crowd, drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Xia Jinxian also wanted to finish the drink, but he took the cup and said, "Xiaoxian doesn't drink much, I'll take her place."

Director Zhou then said, "No, if you take the place, you'll get three cups."

He then asked Director Shao , "Leader, what do you think?"

Director Shao smiled and said, "You are not drunk now, and everyone else is drunk. You can drink if you want. Three glasses is not too much."

At that time, he really thought that they could leave lifetime.

Xia Jinxian was still very young at that time. It was rare for her to be the center of attention and she was a little uncomfortable.

She returned to her table with the wine glass and was teased by her friend Guan Ziyue and others.

She blushed and asked, "How come you all know this?"

Guan Ziyue said, "I have known it for a long time. Didn't you two go shopping together hand in hand? Last time Liu Wanjun and Zhong Weiyi said when they came back, you are not a friend enough. If we hadn't seen it later, we would still have been kept in the dark by you."

In fact, thinking about it now, he was also responsible for the rumors she was surrounded by at that time.

It was him who failed to protect her and made her go through a lot of hardships.

Zhong Weiyi and Liu Wanjun were secretly planning to give her a fatal blow, and his parents encountered this pair of weapons that could use borrowed weapons to kill people.

He was really not good enough, so she finally chose to give up.

She probably hated him.

So when we meet again, I don't even want to give him a straight face, and I don't even say a greeting.

And he didn't dare to face her hatred.

Xu Yanqing asked Pan Yijun, "When she came to you when she was framed in the Archives Bureau, did she specifically ask you not to tell me?"

Faced with his friend's questioning, Pan Yijun nodded, "Yes."

Xu Yanqing said again He put his hands behind his hands and sighed.

Pan Yijun watched the two of them fall in love and break up, and now they have families. Although Xu Yanqing is getting divorced, Xia Jinxian later got married and should have a family and children. It is meaningless for his friend to be so persistent.

He advised, "It's been so many years, it's time to let it go."

Xu Yanqing shook his head.

I once built a love nest with her, experienced the warmth of home, and then experienced eight years of coldness.

If he even let go of this tender feeling, what else would he care about in this world? There is no one or thing worth remembering in my life.

Recalling the past, Xu Yanqing said, "I caught a cold when I came back from Yangzhou. She cooked porridge and omelettes for me every day and told me to take medicine. Later, every time I caught a cold, Han Yun just kicked me out, as if I'm willing to live with her, tell me, how could I forget her?"

Pan Yijun opened his mouth and was speechless.

When she came back from Yangzhou, Xia Jinxian asked him privately whether Xu Yanqing chose the new district because of her.

He knew that Xu Yanqing had reluctantly entered the district because of her future, so he told her that Xu Yanqing had done his best to help her get a good position.

Xu Yanqing had already gained some fame at that time, and many places rushed to recruit him, but he finally chose to go to the district.

Xia Jinxian was assigned to the comprehensive department of the district government office, and Xu Yanqing specifically asked the district chief to take care of her and reserved that position.

Liu Wanjun was also vying for that position. Since she had no establishment, her father, Liu Qingxian, deputy director of the New District Assets Committee, stepped in to do a lot of work. Who would have thought that Xu Yanqing would step in and make Liu Qingxian's plan come to nothing.

This also led to Liu Qingxian following Li Yun and beating Xu Yanqing and Xia Jinxian into a mandarin duck, and he was very proud of it.

After all, the position his daughter wanted was taken. Liu Qingxian was too small-minded and couldn't swallow it. Of course, he would use some means to vent the bad breath in his chest.

Xu Yanqing thought about what happened next, and he suddenly said, "I miss her."

Pan Yijun heard his emotional expression, so he reminded him, "She is married."

Xu Yanqing smiled and said, "I know, that day in the country park Didn't I see her pushing her child? It's a pity that when she gave birth, I didn't send anything to show her."

Pan Yijun said silently, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Yanqing said, "After all, we are our first girlfriends. Now that she's done, there's nothing wrong with caring about her at work, right?"

Pan Yijun said, "Don't do this. Not interrupting is the last word of kindness."

Xu Yanqing suddenly shook his head and said, "You know we can't do that. Is that Lu Zhengguo from the Investment Committee?"

Pan Yijun nodded, "He's the director of your Investment Committee." Xu

Yanqing said, "I asked him to take care of Xiaoxian, but until now, Xiaoxian is just a deputy chief staff member, and he can't take care of him. That's great."

Xu Yanqing often spoke like this in private.

Pan Yijun wanted to laugh, but felt that he couldn't, so he made an awkward face.

Xu Yanqing patted him and said, "Laugh if you want to, and push Xiaoxian's WeChat account to me."

Pan Yijun pushed it and asked, "Why?"

Xu Yanqing said, "Add a WeChat account, why? Find her. Something's wrong."

Pan Yijun clicked his tongue and said, "If you are pretending to be a public servant, please agree in advance. You are a leading cadre and cannot destroy other people's families. This is a violation of integrity and discipline."

Xu Yanqing said to him: Get out.

Xu Yanqing thought about the reason for adding WeChat: to invite Zhou Zheng to dinner.

After Pan Yijun pushed Xia Jinxian's WeChat message, he paused with his fingers for a moment and then sent the request.

Xia Jinxian came out of the dinner arranged by Zhou Chao, and the company boss asked the driver to take her home.

Originally she insisted on taking a taxi, but Zhou Chaofei said that Wu Tingtao had been a big help. Since President Wu asked him to take care of her, he would naturally do his duty, so he asked him to see her off.

Zhou Chao's driver was from someone else's company. At the dinner that night, although Xia Jinxian was sitting in the last seat, she received frequent attention from Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao also asked Zhou Zheng if he knew that Xia Jinxian had a good relationship with Wu Tingtao, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Zhou Zheng didn't know about this, and half-jokingly and half-seriously punished Xia Jinxian with a glass of wine, saying that she failed to report to the organization in time.

Xia Jinxian thought to herself, how should she report this? Should I tell you the old relationship between my mother and Wu Tingtao like a storyteller?

Xia Jinxian was actually not interested in Zhou Zheng's character, but in front of so many people, it was considered a courtesy to have two drinks.

When Xia Jinxian arrived home, the little one from Lingtanqing's family was still watching TV with Tan Xia.

Tan Xia, a half-grown girl, now knows all about which cartoons are educational and interesting.

Since Qiu Yang returned to school, Tan Xia's focus has fallen on the little one.

It's strange, but the little one is destined to Tan Xia and always clings to Tan Xia.

Sometimes Ling Tanqing comes back late, and the little one sleeps with Tan Xia.
