Power and Wealth - 781

the next morning.

Central Party School, in the dormitory.

“Xuebin, Xuebin.” Roommate Han Xinghua called him, “It’s time to get up.”

“Brother Han?” Dong Xuebin opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at his watch. “Oh, it’s already past eight?”

Han Xinghua smiled and said, “I’m going to the library in the morning. There are no classes today, so don’t worry.”

“Thanks to Brother Han, if you don’t call me, I guess I will have to go to bed until noon.” Dong Xuebin immediately turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes, brushed his teeth and rinsed. In the past two days, he has been busy with marriage proposals. In addition, he sneaks out every night and hasn’t had a good night’s sleep. It was quite late to come back from Sister Xie’s house yesterday, and his dreams at night were all about getting married. So happy that Dong Xuebin only fell asleep in the early morning, so sleepy.

After getting these things done, it’s almost nine o’clock.

Dong Xuebin was about to go to the library with everyone when he suddenly received a call from Xie Huilan.

“Where in the dormitory?” Xie Huilan asked.

“Well, just came downstairs, what’s wrong?”

“There is no class today, I asked for leave for you. You go out with Sister Xie, okay?”

“Hey, what kind of leave are you giving me, and it will affect my evaluation, don’t fail to graduate.”

“Haha, it’s okay, I know their deputy principal, and the principal has a good relationship with my parents, so please take two days off.”

“where to?”

“I’ll talk after you meet, at the door.”

“Okay, wait for me then.”

The entrance to the party school compound.

Xie Huilan was talking and laughing with a middle-aged man next to the guard room. The middle-aged man was about fifty years old. Dong Xuebin recognized it at a glance. This was the deputy principal of the Central Party School who had spoken in the auditorium at the opening ceremony. , Seems to be surnamed Wen. Because the principal of the Party School still holds other duties and the focus is not on this side, the actual work of the Central Party School is the responsibility of Vice President Wen.

When Dong Xuebin came over, both of them looked at him.

Xie Huilan smiled and said, “Uncle Wen, let me introduce you. This is my fiance Dong Xuebin.”

Dong Xuebin hurriedly squeezed both hands, “Headmaster Wen, hello.”

“You guys are good, too.” Principal Wen chuckled, “I’ve heard of you, Xiao Dong from Fenzhou, you are really young and promising, okay!”

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and said, “We will get married in a few days. Don’t come by then.”

Principal Wen joked: “I’m still afraid you won’t give me invitations.”

“I can’t help but give you the invitations you don’t give. It’s our honour for you to come over, haha, then I will do something with Xiaobin, so you won’t disturb your work.”

“Go, there must be many things to get married. Then I will say hello to the head teacher of the two of you, and I just need to tell them the next time I ask for leave.”

“Thank you Uncle Wen, then?”

“It’s okay, I watched you grow up, so why be polite with you Uncle Wen.” With that, Vice President Wen turned to look at Dong Xuebin, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “I will get married in the future. Huilan is better, if you dare to bully her, I can’t forgive you kid.”

Dong Xuebin smiled dryly: “No.”

After saying a few words, Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin left the party school compound and walked onto the street.

Seeing no one else, Dong Xuebin asked: “Then Vice President Wen has a good relationship with your family?”

“Normally.” Xie Huilan smiled and said: “It’s not very close either.”

Dong Xuebin said speechlessly: “So how do you watch you grow up?”

“Hehe, Uncle Wen came to our house several times when I was a child, and I had a few encounters with my father, saying that it was not fake to watch me grow up.” Xie Huilan explained: “Your kid has been in the system for two years, right? Don’t you understand the matter? But there are almost no people who don’t know each other in the officialdom with any face in the capital. Some have relatives, and some are friends of friends. The relationship is very complicated and cannot be explained in a single sentence. , It’s not a faction word that can be easily distinguished. If you have me and I have you, forget it, I guess you can’t understand it even if you say that. When this level is reached, you will naturally know.”

Dong Xuebin curled his lips and said: “Look at you, put on the air of your eldest lady again, why can’t I understand it? Do you really think I’m stupid?”

“Hehe, I’m not smart anyway.”

“Hey, try it again!”

“What’s the matter? Do you still want to do something with your sister Xie?”

“Don’t think I’m afraid to make my buddies anxious, I really beat you.” Dong Xuebin also tried his best, he really didn’t dare to bully Huilan.

Xie Huilan smiled and said: “Well, you Xie Sister is happy today. If you don’t have the same knowledge as you, I won’t be able to surrender? Haha…”

Dong Xuebin was so angry, “Whether you should say hello to Fenzhou City about the wedding? Our colleagues and friends are still there. Although my aunt said not to invite them, if she didn’t even say hello, Isn’t it a bit of something? Isn’t it inappropriate?”

Xie Huilan said indifferently: “I can’t invite you if you say it, it’s better not to say it.”

“But……”

“Besides, Fenzhou was rebuilding after the earthquake, but here we are going to get married with great fanfare? What do you make others think?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“So I won’t say it anymore.”

“Then what are you doing in such a hurry to tell me to come out?”

Xie Huilan looked at her watch and said, “My parents said that they are busy with the specific matters of the wedding, but some of them have to be decided by ourselves, such as wedding dresses and wedding photos. My mother is afraid that time is too tight, so let’s choose the wedding dresses and buy them first. , And then took a picture of the wedding dress.”

Hearing that, Dong Xuebin’s face was bitter, “Wedding dress, that’s too anxious.”

“The wedding will be in a few days. Do you still want to buy a wedding dress on the same day?”

“I didn’t mean that, I mean don’t do that… or two days later?”

“Just today.” After that, Xie Huilan reached out and took a taxi on the side of the road. Dong Xuebin couldn’t help but sit in with him. Xie Huilan took advantage of the trend and naturally took Dong Xuebin’s arm. “Master , Trouble, go to Wangfujing.”

The driver responded.

“Too hurry.” Dong Xuebin said depressed: “I’m not ready here yet.”

Xie Huilan smiled gracefully, “Are you not ready to take a wedding photo or not ready to get married? If you take a photo, you don’t need to prepare, I have already contacted, there are professional makeup artists and stylists, and you can prepare later. , If you are not ready for marriage, um…” Xie Huilan looked at him with a smile, “Then it’s over? The invitation hasn’t been sent out yet, so it’s too late to regret.”

Dong Xuebin hurriedly said, “Look at what you said, what do I regret? I didn’t mean that.”

“Hehe, what do you mean?”

“Me, me…”

Dong Xuebin hesitated for a long time but did not speak.

When the taxi stopped outside Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Xie Huilan saw that Dong Xuebin hadn’t moved, so she took the initiative to pay the bill and got off with him.

Xie Huilan walked down the pedestrian street holding Dong Xuebin, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many people frequently look at Xie Huilan’s charming and dignified face, and the rate of turning back is extremely high.

Dong Xuebin rarely went shopping alone with Huilan, arm in arm, and his vanity was greatly satisfied for a while, but when he thought of sad things, Dong Xuebin’s face became bitter again.

“Here, this is the house.” Xie Huilan stopped.

In front of it is a three-story Paris bridal shop. There are several wedding dress styles behind the glass. You can see that the price is high at first glance, and it costs tens of thousands.

“Go?” Xie Huilan tugged at his arm.

Dong Xuebin stood still, and finally pulled Huilan aside, frankly took out his wallet, and handed it to her tragically, “See it for yourself.”

Xie Huilan wondered: “What are you looking at?”

“Just look at it.” Dong Xuebin was very embarrassed.

Xie Huilan touched his wallet and opened it, looked for it in the two mezzanine layers, and was stunned, and found that there were only two dollars up and down in the wallet, one was a paper ticket, and another one was a steel ball. See here , Xie Huilan was happy at once, “You kid, sneaky and haunting, I thought it was something, hehe, why is it two dollars? Where’s Kari? Isn’t Kari gone?”

Dong Xuebin said bitterly: “Isn’t it time to buy a ring for the two of us? Little 300 million, I said I won a lottery worth hundreds of millions of yuan, but the money was not enough. Later, I borrowed 2 million from my mother. I borrowed half a million from my old leader, and emptied all the bank cards to make up. Me, now I don’t even have the money to buy cigarettes. Why did I not buy anything for my uncle and aunt yesterday when I went to your house? It’s not that I don’t want to buy it. I only have two dollars in my pocket.

Xie Huilan nodded a finger on his chest, “You kid, just love to be able to do it. If you don’t have enough money, don’t buy it. How can you borrow money?”

“I don’t think you like that pink diamond. Since you like it, I have to buy it when I am bankrupt.”

Xie Huilan’s eyes softened, and she smiled and gave him strands of hair, “Where is your sister Xie so tight in your heart? Huh?”

“Of course, it’s not tight to you who am I tight to?”

“Little guy, the mouth is so sweet.”

Dong Xuebin hesitated to say something but stopped: “Anyway, the situation is like this, so what, Huilan, can you lend me some money first?”

Xie Huilan smiled and said diligently: “Marriage is not your business alone. Now we are a couple. What else do you want to borrow?”

Dong Xuebin sneered and said, “It’s not appropriate to use your money.”

“I said it is appropriate.” Xie Huilan took out her wallet, took out a bank card and handed it to him. “There are hundreds of thousands in it. I have forgotten how much it is. This is now our common property, um, probably It is also all the capital and property. You will pay for the wedding dress after a while, and I will say the password.”

“Oh, I’m so embarrassed.” Dong Xuebin took the card and put it in his wallet, coughing: “Then I will hold it for you. It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to get married. Both of you have to save a little bit these days, and wait until I have a chance to make more money.”

Xie Huilan straddled his hand, “Let’s go, haha.”
