Chapter 30: A mediocre person makes trouble for himself.

Xu Yanqing followed the rules of the wine shop and paid a round of respect.

Others then began to attack, each completing their own tasks.

Xia Jinxian, as the last person in the company, actually had no tasks to complete at this banquet.

Without seeking promotion or transfer, you can concentrate on eating and enjoying the food.

Mainly, she didn't want to toast Xu Yanqing.

Touching her nose, she felt that she was a little funny too.

It's amazing that I can't let go of him for so many years, I'm so infatuated with him.

Sitting next to her is a first-level chief clerk of the Municipal Investment Commission. He is young and beautiful, and works in the Policy and Planning Department of the Municipal Investment Commission. His surname is Chen.

She should be very familiar with Xu Yanqing. After hearing her introduce herself a few words, the two of them had a close relationship in the city.

When a group of people just got to know each other, Xu Yanqing paid special attention to her.

This Chen Ke is young, has already graduated with a doctorate, and has outstanding abilities in all aspects.

Being introduced so grandly by Xu Yanqing made several people on the side become very interested in Chen Ke.

Xia Jinxian felt a little sour, unreasonably so.

It was rare for Lu Wenjing to accompany Xu Yanqing out to socialize today. At this moment, he came to ask Xia Jinxian from time to time, "Xiao Xia, do you think we should go to toast the leader?"

Xia Jinxian was much older than Lu Wenjing, so she heard him call her that , also very speechless.

But after working for so many years, I have seen a lot of strange people, and I know not to offend anyone, especially such a mean person.

Xia Jinxian then asked, "Who are you going to toast to?"

Xiao Lu said, "District Chief Xu, and Director Fan."

Xia Jinxian smiled and said to him, "You go ahead, you should toast."

Lu Wenjing asked , "Aren't you coming with me?"

Chen Ke from the investment committee looked at Lu Wenjing specifically, said nothing, but raised his glass to toast Lu Mingwei.

Obviously this person is also knowledgeable. Half of these people came here today to make friends with Xu Yanqing, and they even deliberately tested his attitude.

Therefore, all the wine in the scene was directed towards Xu Yanqing. The people brought by Xu Yanqing naturally wanted to help him stop the wine. How could they embarrass his leadership?

Of course Xia Jinxian also understood that as the person brought by Lu Mingwei, she should take the initiative to pay respect to Yan Qing.

But she didn't want to go through the complicated past with Xu Yanqing, and she didn't want to go.

Lu Wenjing had just become a secretary and didn't really understand these things.

Dai Xiankun, director of the District Economic Commission who was present, saw Xiao Lu and wanted to help him, so he said, "Xiao Lu, these few here are senior experts in the industry. You all know Mr. Han, Mr. Li, and Mr. Luo." If you can get three melons and two dates from them, your future will be limitless."

After hearing this, Lu Wenjing still said, "I should pay my respects to the district chief first."

Xia Jinxian secretly touched her forehead.

This small gesture all fell in Xu Yanqing's eyes, and he suddenly felt warm in his heart, with a slight smile on his face.

In the public place and under the bright light, he suppressed his smile again, held up the cup and said, "Xiao Lu should respect Chairman Lu, and if Xiao Xia respects me, it is right."

Xia Jinxian thought that Xu Yanqing was deliberately pretending not to know her . , to avoid embarrassment, who would have known that such a thing would happen.

She raised her head and looked at the face that she still couldn't face calmly.

Xu Yanqing raised his eyebrows at her slightly. This action was extremely familiar, and this face had already been engraved in his heart.

She suddenly felt her nose was a little sore, her eyes were hot, and she was even more afraid of losing her composure in public.

She moved her eyes to Lu Mingwei and saw that Lu Mingwei was looking at her with a smile, so she could only bite the bullet, raised the cup and said, "I would like to offer a glass to the district chief."

In fact, there is a lot of history between the two people. Looking back, no one mentioned it at the moment.

Xu Yanqing held the cup and knocked it slightly against the glass countertop. Xia Jinxian also held the cup and knocked it slightly across the table far away.

This glass of wine was eight years old.

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses, Xia Jinxian looked at Xiao Lu, and Xu Yanqing lowered his head to look at his phone.

Xiao Lu then followed Xia Jinxian's example and respected Lu's reputation.

Lu Mingwei said, "I heard that Xiao Lu's family has a deep academic background."

Lu Guozhengdao, director of the Investment Committee on the side, "Indeed, the uncle of Xiao Lu's family is the vice president of the Z Province Chamber of Commerce and a famous entrepreneur."

The gazes of Xu Yanqing and others It all fell on Xiao Lu, whose smile could not be concealed. Xia Jinxian sat aside and watched indifferently. Lu Guozheng

said to Lu Mingwei, "You Xiaoxia is not bad."

The relationship with Wu Tingtao was known.

She quickly raised her wine glass, walked to Lu Guozheng and toasted, "Our Chairman Lu is my background. Director Lu, I have troubled you to recommend projects and companies for several research and inspections. It's my fault for not paying you a proper tribute. What's your fault?" He's criticizing me, so I'll do it first as a courtesy."

He said, without waiting for Lu Guozheng to say a few more words, he just drank a glass of red wine to the end.

After such an interruption, Lu Guozheng stopped talking and had a drink with Xia Jinxian.

Lu Wenjing went to pay homage to Lu Mingwei, drank the wine, and moved the topic elsewhere.

Xia Jinxian finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to return to the last position, eating in silence and not participating in the topic to avoid being mentioned.

Xu Yanqing's eyes fell on her. After all, they were still sitting opposite each other. Even if she pushed aside, she was still in his eyes.

She came in a hurry today, only wearing plain makeup and a few strands of fallen hair to decorate her face.

Her delicate hands held the wine glass, which was filled with amber light.

Xia Jinxian felt the gaze, but did not dare to raise her eyes.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head to look at her phone.

Xu Yanqing was afraid that his gaze would be too unrestrained, so he looked away.

Lu Wenjing, on the other hand, became a celebrity here after being introduced by Lu Guozheng.

This also confirmed Xia Jinxian's previous guess that the reason why Xiao Lu was promoted to be secretary was also the result of a game between all parties.

It's just that this result is not ideal for Xu Yanqing, but it can be regarded as an explanation for Lu Wenjing's family, and Xu Yanqing can also use Xiao Lu's family background to make a fuss.

Xia Jinxian thought, as expected, kungfu is not about doing things, but about background and blood.

For many junior clerks who have worked hard to become civil servants, how great an honor would it be to be a leader's secretary?

But for Xiao Lu, this is just a springboard.

After all, Lu Wenjing was young and took these compliments very seriously, so he couldn't help but suppress his excitement and acted a little proud.

He silently looked at Xia Jinxian beside him, but saw that Xia Jinxian had no intention of respecting him.

In his eyes, there are many people like Xia Jinxian who have been around for many years and have failed to become leaders. They certainly have no backing, so naturally he looks down upon them.

I just heard her being self-effacing and knew that her background was not as good as mine, so I became even more arrogant.

He held up the cup and said to Xia Jinxian, "Xiaoxia, let's have a drink too."

After hearing this, Xia Jinxian raised the cup, but before she drank, Han Chu on the other side also raised the cup and said to Xia Jinxian, "Chief Xia , we have known each other for a long time, I respect you, please support us more in our future activities." After

such an interruption, Xia Jinxian and Lu Wenjing naturally failed to drink.

Lu Wenjing waited for a long time, but Xia Jinxian showed no intention to continue drinking with him, which made him feel slighted and slightly dissatisfied.

The meal was quite tasteless, and after a while, several people in the city excused themselves and left.

During the dinner, Lu Mingwei said something in Xu Yanqing's ear. The member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference leaned behind them and held a cup. He was obviously talking about what he had asked for today.

Xu Yanqing held the cup and listened quietly with lowered hands, with a deep expression, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Lu Mingwei seemed to notice his hesitation and even laughed.

But in the end, Xu Yanqing nodded, wondering whether he was willing to help or just perfunctory.

After the few people finished speaking, Xu Yanqing subconsciously looked in Xia Jinxian's direction.

In fact, for Xu Yanqing today, everyone else is a supporting role. He only wants to see her for this dinner.

But when people actually sit across from each other, there is nothing to say.

A group of people were eating and drinking until the end. Two of the drunken companions had already drunk too much. When the wine was in full swing, it was basically the time for the men to make dirty jokes.

At this time, half of the people at the table had left, but since Lu Mingwei was organizing the game today, he naturally had to stay until the end. Xia Jinxian couldn't leave either, so she was the only woman left on the scene.

Since she stayed out of the whole banquet, others knew that she was Lu Mingwei's secretary.

Although he called Charcot, he actually didn't take her seriously.

When a man drinks too much, he begins to talk obscenely without any scruples, and does not regard Xia Jinxian as a woman at all.

A member of the Law and Regulation Committee, who is also a lawyer, talked about a recent case that happened in District H. “I heard that a group of people were arrested later. There was a big earthquake there, and the property company rented a hotel with more than the third floor. The boss is surrounded by women. It seems that the political and legal system there has been compromised. It is said that he offended a more powerful person, so the entire property company was taken down."

Han Chu took a sip of wine and said, "I know what you said. I've been to the property company under the China Economic Group, and the women there have good figures, and their faces look the same even when the lights are turned off."

The boss chuckled, raised his cup and said, "Han. The lawyer is right, it's better to be more realistic. Men like women who can't hold their hands. "

Han Chu said, "That's your taste, but I prefer those with breasts and brains."

Another man said, "Have brains. It's so troublesome. I look back at you every day to check for clues. You are just like stealing when you come out to play. It's tiring."

At this time, Lu Guozheng suddenly said, "Then you don't understand. Women with brains don't understand. It's great to have breasts for someone who does this kind of thing, isn't it, Xiaoxia?"

After saying that, everyone looked at Xia Jinxian, and Xia Jinxian blinked, knowing what Lu Guozheng was thinking.

At this moment, he felt that this was giving himself a stage to perform, and he was probably still feeling complacent in his heart.

Some men, after being leaders for a long time, always feel that they are arrogant.

But does this kind of objectification of women still make her feel grateful?

Xia Jinxian just smiled but didn't answer.

In these years of being powerless and powerless, I have encountered this kind of embarrassment many times. Anyway, I have become thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter.

Xu Yanqing also looked at her. The look in his eyes really made her heart palpitate. There was no idea what emotions were brewing in his deep eyes.

Xia Jinxian lowered her head and took a sip of water. Then she raised her head and met Xu Yanqing's eyes. She felt suffocated for a moment.

In fact, after drinking here, the banquet should come to an end.

Xu Yanqing looked at Lu Mingwei and said to Lu Mingwei, "Chairman Lu, will we talk to you later?"

Lu Mingwei nodded.

As a result, Xia Jinxian naturally couldn't leave. The Standing Committee member said that he was treating him and continued to find a place to sing.

There were people who had drunk too much, and there were people who were sober and not yet happy enough to accompany the two leaders to the next show.

When we arrived at the KTV, the standing committee member hinted whether he wanted to ask a girl to come over and accompany him.

All the people present were men, and Xia Jinxian was the only woman. It was indeed not lively enough.

What's more, Xia Jinxian is not proactive enough.

In fact, in the workplace, if a woman is willing to sacrifice, she can advance very quickly.

But Xia Jinxian didn't want to take this road. Occasionally being touched on the hand or hugged around the waist was the limit.

She had no intention of sacrificing herself to this extent for a job.

A few sober people gathered around and chatted, most of them talking about current affairs.

Xia Jinxian ordered a fruit plate for them and asked the waiter to pass it over.

A few people drank too much and started singing.

Lu Wenjing must have drunk too much today, and he even carried a beer bottle to drink with Lu Mingwei. Dai Xiankun also saw that Lu Wenjing was a fool.

A little drunk, Dai Xiankun pulled Lu Wenjing aside to do some ideological work for him.

The lights and shadows in the KTV are dim and the atmosphere is noisy.

After a while, the standing committee member called a few women over and introduced them.

Two of them were sent to Xu Yanqing and Lu Mingwei.

Lu Mingwei happily invited a girl to sit next to him, but Xu Yanqing waved her hand and refused.

Lu Guozheng was called and asked to dance with the girl.

Lu Guozheng extended his hand to the girl like a gentleman, and the girl quickly pressed on to dance with him.

Xia Jinxian leaned to the side and helped them request songs.

It was as if he was watching from the outside, with a detached look that had nothing to do with him.

The box was dark, and Mr. Li came over, put his hand on Xia Jinxian's shoulder, smelled of wine, but still looked romantic and asked, "Chief Xia, I heard that you are still single?"

Xia Jinxian reflexively asked I wanted to turn around and take a look, wondering if Xu Yanqing had seen this scene.

Her mind turned around and she suddenly thought things through.

That's fine, let Xu Yanqing think she is philistine and vulgar, let Xu Yanqing think that time has tainted her.

It made him feel that since she had changed, she would no longer have any obsessions and regrets.

Just like what is said in Dream of Red Mansions, "When a girl is not married, she is a priceless pearl; when she is married, she develops many bad problems for some reason. Although it is a pearl, it has no luster and color and is a dead pearl." "As she gets older, it's not her beads that have changed, but her fish eyes."

Nowadays, she lives numbly, but isn't she just a fish eye with a fishy smell?

Maybe Xu Yanqing felt the same way when he looked at himself tonight?

He might have already had a child with Han Yun and developed feelings for her. It was really unreasonable for her to think about this.
