Chapter 29: Bad Drinking

That day, Xia Jinxian was wearing an apron and her hair was tied into a bun. Her profile was very soft in the bright light from the kitchen, which made his heart flutter.

He asked, "What's so fragrant?"

She smiled softly and said, "I boiled some lard myself and gave it to you. How about it? Can you eat it?"

He hugged her and squeezed her breasts. Nose said, "I can eat it, why can't I eat it? It seems that I will be lucky in the future."

Xia Jinxian giggled after hearing this, and went to fry poached eggs for him happily.

After eating the noodles, he consciously washed the dishes.

She was worried that he was still hungover and wanted to share the burden with him, but he stopped her and said, "From now on, you cook and I wash the dishes."

Xia Jinxian asked him casually, "Why?"

He said, "Because this family is between the two of us. Personal. "

A home for two people. "

No luck in this life.

The lights in the kitchen had been out for years.

Xu Yanqing's nose felt sore.

However, lovesickness is useless.

Xia Jinxian was sitting in her cubicle. Lu Mingwei came out and saw her in a daze and asked her, "What's going on? Are you thinking about something?"

Xia Jinxian smiled, shook her head and said, "A little dizzy."

Chairman Lu said, "You just ate too little."

Xia Jinxian smiled and said nothing.

Ling Tanqing was on a business trip these days and was worried about the nanny. His parents were getting older, so they let the little one live with her.

Tan Xia fell in love with the little boy, who followed Tan Xia like a little tail, but at night, he started to have trouble with the world.

Xia Jinxian had studied child psychology before. In fact, it was because of Qiu Yang's rebellious little boy that she went to study it and understood that this was the reason why his childhood attachment was not fully satisfied.

She told Tan Xia that Tan Xia was a girl with a gentle temper, so she let the little one do what she wanted.

It was always after 12 o'clock before going to bed, which made the three women in the room exhausted.

Tan Qing said, "I think it's better to be single. I'm tired of getting married and having children."

Xia Jinxian said while washing her face and brushing her teeth, "Then you have to stop thinking about men first and quit male lust."

Tan Qing said, " I have given up hope on men for a long time. Nine out of ten men are scum, and there is one who is particularly scumbag."

Xia Jinxian laughed as she listened.

But because of this, I feel a little low on energy when I go to work.

She suddenly realized that she was indeed getting old. She used to stay up late occasionally and work overtime later, but as she got older, she realized that her body functions had declined unknowingly when she reached the age of 30.

On Thursday, the CPPCC has an event.

It has been rumored outside that the CPPCC is a department for elderly care, but when I actually work in the CPPCC, I realize that there are a lot of trivial matters.

To contact these committee members and participate in political discussions, we have to resort to some tricks from time to time.

There was a performance that afternoon, and Cyndi Liu went out for a week's short-term training, so she helped cover the shift and accompanied Vice Chairman Zhang Bei to participate in the performance of the Women's Federation sector.

Fortunately, Lu Mingwei had nothing to do in the afternoon. She took a nap at noon and drove Zhang Bei's car to the art center in the afternoon.

This play mainly talks about the awakening of women's consciousness. The director is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, so he worked with the Women's Federation to organize such a charity performance.

Since it was relatively professional, the scenery was good, and the story was very central, Chairman Zhang Bei simply watched it from beginning to end, and Xia Jingxian naturally accompanied him.

At the end of the story, the heroine chooses to pursue independence and freedom and rejects the marriage arranged by her parents.

With an unbreakable love for her first boyfriend, she devoted herself to the revolutionary cause and never married.

At the end of the performance, the heroine changed from a young girl to an old man in a wheelchair.

Some people in the audience shed tears and bursts of sobs were heard.

Xia Jinxian was very emotional. Looking at the actor in the wheelchair, her heart was filled with emotion.

Never marry and remain single until old age.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel panic.

Afraid that time will pass too fast, and that person, in my heart, will fade too slowly.

Is the heroine too strong or too affectionate?

Anyway, that's not the woman she admires.

Many feminists have completely gone astray.

As if feminism should be about women and men.

Physiological and psychological differences inherently determine the differences between men and women.

Feminism should actually be based on the recognition of this characteristic of women, rather than its denial.

Failure to recognize the innate characteristics of women and instead pursuing women to be exactly the same as men is simply pushing feminism into a dead end.

It’s just these thoughts that no one can say.

These thoughts were also told to her by Xu Yanqing back then.

Today, no one can say this anymore.

After coming out of the theater, Zhang Bei was invited by the Standing Committee of the Women's Federation to have afternoon tea and talk about current affairs.

This is also an afternoon tea activity that the female committee members like, and Xia Jinxian naturally goes along with it.

Afternoon tea was served on a long street with a French-style atmosphere. It was still very desolate back then, but now there are many high-rise buildings and the decoration style is very western.

A female committee member was also familiar with Xia Jinxian. Knowing that she was single, she said, "Xiao Xia, I have a man here. He's pretty good. He works in a game company. Can I call you next time to get to know him?"

Zhang Bei sat in the middle, Hearing this, she asked with a smile, "Are you talking about Mr. Li? He has been very popular recently."

The female committee member smiled and said, "Yes, Chairman Zhang is well-informed."

Zhang Bei said to Xia Jinxian, "You guys are so reckless The chairman is also very concerned about your personal affairs. Xiaoxia should consider it. Mr. Li and Chairman Zhou have a good relationship. "

The implication of these words is that she hopes that she can find a man who can help her with her career through marriage.

Xia Jinxian listened silently but did not respond.

Knowing that Zhang Bei also wanted to remind her, it was her own choice to agree or not.

Zhang Bei is actually a nice person, and Cyndi Liu should follow her closely.

Zhang Bei came from the education field, and many people asked Zhang Bei to do things. Her disciples and grandchildren were also in education positions, and there were many who could help pull the strings.

But Cyndi Liu was too high-spirited and felt that Zhang Bei would retire after this term. He was a gentle man and had no future if he followed her, so he didn't care about some things.

In this regard, Zhu Jiajia was very disdainful of Cyndi Liu's snobbish behavior.

Xia Jinxian feels that it is understandable for everyone to fight for their own interests.

As long as Cyndi Liu can bear the price of this ambition, there is nothing to blame.

After afternoon tea, Zhang Bei expressed that he wanted to go home early, so Xia Jinxian drove her off.

After seeing Zhang Bei home and leaving the community, Xia Jinxian was planning to leave her home early. Unexpectedly, Lu Mingwei called her and asked her, "Is there anything going on tonight?"

The leader asked, and if there is something, it must be okay. Xia Jinxian quickly said no , Lu Mingwei said, let her accompany him to a dinner party.

He sent the address after hanging up the phone. Although he didn't know who he was talking to, the general routine was clear.

It's nothing more than a certain committee group that invites several leaders to attend. There is always a powerful person among them who will lead a subordinate to handle specific tasks to help solve some practical problems.

It was already 4:30 when we returned to the district government. Xia Jinxian picked up Lu Mingwei, set the place for dinner on the navigation system, and handed the yogurt she bought in advance to Lu Mingwei.

Chairman Lu has high blood sugar, so he cannot eat anything with sugar. Xia Jinxian bought sugar-free yogurt.

After drinking the yogurt, Chairman Lu said, "You are a good candidate to be a secretary, but unfortunately you are a bit overage. Otherwise, I would recommend you to the two offices, which would be better for your future development."

Xia Jinxian naturally knew that this was not an unreasonable sentence . , because Zhou Zheng prefers Xia Jinxiu, so Lu Mingwei is reminding her to find a way out early.

Xia Jinxian thought that it was thanks to Xu Yanqing that she was able to get out of the Archives Bureau. However, after so many years, she and he could no longer even speak to each other.

During the last inspection, although she met him, she didn't even say hello.

Even Liu Wanjun, who had done so many shameless things in the past, still had the shamelessness to chat with him when they met again.

But they once loved each other to the core, but in the end, what was the use?

She couldn't even say hello to him properly, calling District Chief Xu, but he seemed to glance at her, but in the end, they still walked away.

That's right, she thought.

He and Han Yun have been married for many years. If he starts any rumors with him again, Han Yun will come to his door and embarrass himself for no reason.

So, when Lu Mingwei asked her which department she thought was better, she just smiled and said, "I don't have any ambitions, so I can go anywhere."

No one in the court wanted to be an official, and the deputy department level also relied on Xu Yanqing picked it up. Even if the deputy chief clerk is returned, I'm sorry, it's just Xu Yanqing.

She learned so much from him, but it was a pity that she couldn't use it.

After parking the car downstairs in the restaurant, Xia Jinxian went upstairs and entered the box. At the door, Lu Mingwei was chatting with a middle-aged man.

She had seen that man before and came to the CPPCC to see Zhou Zheng.

Lu Mingwei introduced the man and Xia Jinxian, "Xiaoxia, our comrade in the secretarial department, this is Mr. Li."

Xia Jinxian nodded slightly to him.

The other party smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Li Guohao, Xijing Technology."

Xia Jinxian shook hands with him, and another person came out, Han Chu.

Han Chu had a good relationship with Lu Mingwei and said hello to Lu Mingwei. Then he saw Xia Jinxian and raised his eyebrows and said, "I was asking Chairman Lu if he had hidden you just now. You are not coming to join us now." It's a book club."

Xia Jinxian said half-jokingly, "Your book club is too high-end. Besides, I'm busy taking care of my children recently." Han Chu

said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

She said to behind Xia Jinxian, "Yan Qing is here."

Xia Jinxian turned around and saw Xu Yanqing standing behind her.

It was as if he was standing by the window reading materials on her first day at the management committee, with no expression on her face and a cold look on her face.

Those sharp eyes glanced over her body, as if she hadn't seen him before.

Then, he greeted Han Chu and Lu Mingwei calmly.

Xia Jinxian thought this scene couldn't be more ridiculous.

She said in front of her ex-boyfriend that she was busy taking care of her children...

Such a clever arrangement of fate really made people laugh and cry.

Xia Jinxian grabbed Liu Hai with her hand, and felt that her annoyance was actually unreasonable.

With or without the children, how are things going? After all, after she chose to give up, they had nothing to do with each other.

Xia Jinxian lagged behind and was the last one to enter the private room. There were several other people in the private room.

After introductions one by one, everyone finally sat down. Xu Yanqing asked Lu Mingwei to sit in the main seat, and he took the second seat.

Judging from the ranking, Xu Yanqing was modest, but he used the excuse that Lu Mingwei was older and respected him as the chief.

To the left of Lu Mingwei is a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC.

This person has a good relationship with Lu Mingwei, and Xia Jinxian guessed that she was trying to match him today.

Xu Yanqing is not as detached as he was in the past, but when he fell into the mortal world, he still seemed to have a more cold and earthly atmosphere than ordinary people.

Xia Jinxian didn't dare to look at him, and she was even more afraid of smelling the familiar scent on his body.

The attraction between two people always starts from the most superficial aspects.

At first, it all came from the appearance, then it came from the other person's voice, and later, it came from the other person's aura.

Xia Jinxian knew very well that she fell in love with him at first because his aura was so attractive that she couldn't help herself.

Later, it was because of his wisdom and indifference, and then, it was because of love for everything related to him.

The protagonists are all here, and the supporting actors have also consciously chosen their seats. Today there is also a vice president of a bank branch, a director of the city's commerce and trade committee, and two top leaders of the district's investment committee and economic committee. In addition, There are several people, nearly 15 people on a round table.

The scene was considered grand. It was probably because Lu Mingwei had invited Xu Yanqing many times, and this time it finally happened, that the arrangements were so full.

As a secretary at the deputy department level, Xia Jinxian consciously sat in the last seat, but in this way, she had to face Xu Yanqing. She could only ask the waiter to reserve a place for serving food, and moved herself slightly to the side so that she would not have to The awkward confrontation also saves each other the trouble of recounting the past.

Mr. Li probably met Xu Yanqing for the first time today, and he was very enthusiastic.

He said he had brought wine from a high-end French winery.

Xia Jinxian knew that Xu Yanqing was a big drinker, but he said, "I don't drink well, so please bear with me."

He and Lu Mingwei were at the same level here, but in terms of actual power, he had more weight.

Lu Mingwei also likes to make others drink when he is the boss.

But it was probably the first time I had dinner with Xu Yanqing today, so I didn't say anything.

From the moment everyone settled down, the rules at the wine table actually started to come into effect.

Whoever speaks with enough weight, what purpose and thoughts someone has towards whom can all be seen through drinking.

Xia Jinxian didn't like to participate in this, but it didn't stop her from observing silently.

Today Xu Yanqing brought his secretary Lu Wenjing, and Lu Wenjing said to Xia Jinxian, "Xiao Xia, District Director Xu originally asked me to contact you at tonight's dinner, but I heard from Jinxiu that you followed Chairman Zhang out, so I asked her to help notify Chairman Lu. "

After hearing this, Xia Jinxian couldn't help but look at Lu Wenjing again.

Seeing that he was elated, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

He wondered how Xu Yanqing could be assigned such a stupid secretary.

Now that I think about it, I have vaguely heard that there are tricks to arranging secretaries.

For Xu Yanqing to be assigned such an ignorant person, it is probably because his family background is very tough and it is difficult to arrange him, and he also deliberately made Xu Yanqing a stumbling block and tested him.

I don’t know whether it was District Chief Xie’s intention or Lei Mingjin, director of the district office below, who made his own decision.

From this personnel arrangement, Xia Jinxian could see that Xu Yanqing's air landing was not necessarily easy.

She was twirling the cup in her hand, lost in thought.

Xu Yanqing raised his wine glass and greeted her.

Lu Mingwei, who didn't know the old story between Xia Jinxian and Xu Yanqing, introduced, "Our Xiao Xia, who is in the secretarial department, is pretty good."

Xu Yanqing nodded, raised his glass to Xia Jinxian, and then took a sip of wine.

Xia Jinxian then also held the wine glass and took a sip.

This wine is very sour.

She felt something stuck in her throat, and Lu Wenjing beside her was still chattering, but she didn't hear a word clearly.
