Power and Wealth - 976. Chapter 978 [Classmates reunion!
afternoon.
The county seat, Mayang Hotel.
After patrolling a whole circle, Dong Xuebin drove back with his team. The car parked in the open-air parking lot at the entrance of the hotel, and the group got off one after another.
Liao Huaxiong asked: “Is this arranged for us in the county?”
Dong Xuebin nodded, “I just left them out at noon, and I still have to live in the hotel.”
“Director.” Luo Haiting looked at him, “Then I will book a box for dinner first? It’s past five o’clock.”
Dong Xuebin shook his hand, “You eat, I have something to do at night, I have to save my stomach.”
About ten of them entered the lobby of the hotel. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a red satin slogan—welcome the leaders of the Disciplinary Inspection Commission. But this time, Sun Yitao, the secretary of the Mayang County Party Committee, may have a long surname and did not send anyone. Dong Xuebin could not help but nodded slightly, but he glanced at the few people sitting in the hall. He knew that there must be people from the county party committee, and he was absolutely observing them all the time. It’s just that there was no fanfare, even Dong Xuebin saw a staff member frequently looking at them, but Dong Xuebin didn’t break it, pretending not to see it.
Dong Xuebin said: “Let’s go, put things down first.”
After going to the front desk to register, Dong Xuebin directly put his ID card on the table.
The waiter subconsciously took it. When he saw Dong Xuebin’s name, the waiter took a deep breath and immediately changed to a bright smile. He didn’t even let Dong Xuebin pay the deposit and room fee, and immediately took Dong respectfully. Xuebin and the others went upstairs and took them to their rooms. No one was surprised, knowing that this must be the local political axe who had greeted them in advance, and had arranged for them long ago.
……upstairs.
Dong Xuebin was in a room by himself. As soon as he got his luggage, Dong Xuebin ordered tea and drank it in the room. Liao Huaxiong and Luo Haiting should have gone to dinner, but Dong Xuebin had a classmate gathering around 8 o’clock in the evening. He doesn’t plan to eat anymore.
Seven o’clock…Eight o’clock…The time is about to come.
Dong Xuebin went downstairs and waited at the entrance of the hotel.
Not long after, the first car arrived first, and then a few familiar faces came towards the hotel. These people did not drive. Dong Xuebin knew that these were his classmates in high school, but after too long a distance, he was a little bit unable to name them.
The car stopped and the two got out of the car.
“Huh, Wang Lei?”
“Liu Tingting? Zhou Ran?”
“Haha, it’s really you!”
“Yeah, it’s been a long time, how are you doing?”
“It’s okay, how about you? Are you all here together?”
A few of them met, and they chatted together.
When they greeted them, Dong Xuebin also remembered the names of several people, and a feeling of nostalgia suddenly appeared in his heart. High school, at that time, he was still in a carefree stage. He was going to school every day to do his homework. In fact, Sometimes I think this kind of life is good, at least there are not so many annoying things, and I look silly and cheerful all day long. Isn’t this a kind of happiness?
Dong Xuebin sighed and greeted him, “Tingting, Zhou Ran.”
Several people looked at Dong Xuebin, “Hey, you are Dong… Dong Xue…”
Dong Xuebin smiled, “Dong Xuebin.”
One student said: “Yes, Dong Xuebin! Why are you here?”
Another female classmate said: “Yes, you didn’t attend the previous reunions of our classmates?”
Dong Xuebin said: “There are too many things in the unit, and I have not paid attention to it. When I came back to Mayang County to do something, I happened to meet Pangshuo and Dujuan.” In fact, Dong Xuebin did not accept the last few classmates gatherings. It was their phone call, so of course I couldn’t go, but on this occasion, I obviously couldn’t say that.
“We haven’t seen each other in six or seven years, your kid still hasn’t changed.”
“You haven’t changed, I recognized it at a glance, haha.”
In fact, a few people really think that Dong Xuebin has not changed, but the feeling that it has changed a lot. It has not changed because of his face. Everyone is 25 or 6 years old, but Dong Xuebin still feels like he was 18 or 9 when he was in high school. As for the big change, it is Dong Xuebin’s temperament. Everyone seems to think that there is nothing, but you can take a closer look, and feel that Dong Xuebin seems to have a restrained temperament, which is a very important point for men.
At this time, a few more classmates arrived.
Everyone greeted each other one after another and made friendships with each other.
Dong Xuebin used to be the lowest-key and most unpopular kind of person in the class. This is no exception. Everyone talked to each other and put Dong Xuebin aside.
Pang Shuo is here.
The cuckoo also came.
The two of them are considered the best in this group of classmates. Of course, they have to be the finale, and now they are all the same.
When the two arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
“Yo, Cuckoo, how come it gets longer and more beautiful?”
“Hehe, I don’t have one. After two years with the West, it makes me more and more ugly.”
“Come on, how do I think you haven’t changed? And Pang Shuo, you two are amazing now. I heard that you just transferred to Mayang County a month ago? They are both deputy department-level cadres?”
“That’s right, you two have the best skills in this class of us.”
Pang Shuo felt it was inconvenient to speak here, “Let’s go, go in first.”
Du Juan also hissed at them, “It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s go into the box and talk again.”
As soon as I entered, the banner came into view. Welcome the leaders of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Everyone then realized that it was the leaders of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection who came to inspect. No wonder Pang Shuo and Du Juan were both cautious. They were the two most lively people in the previous gatherings, but everyone is not surprised, since It is a national cadre, regardless of whether it is a full-time leader or a vacant cadre. What I am most afraid of is not in charge of the leader and the competent leader, but the cadre of the disciplinary committee, because the leader of the disciplinary committee may not be able to promote you to transfer your position, but you can be stabbed at critical moments. You die without knowing how to die.
So everyone didn’t say anything sensitive, and took the elevator upstairs quietly.
…In the box.
Pang Shuo let go, “Come on, everyone can order whatever you want to eat. I will treat you today. Let’s have fun and eat and drink. Don’t worry about the other things!”
A classmate who had a good relationship with Pang Shuo said: “Yes, don’t be polite with Lao Pang, he can place orders.”
Du Juan laughed and said: “I can’t hang up today. The leader comes to inspect, we can only pay for it ourselves.”
“Ah? That’s it?” A classmate said: “Then just order a few dishes. I think the dishes here are not cheap. I’ll catch up with several three-star restaurants in Beijing.”
Pang Shuo smiled and said, “You are shameless, what about me? Just order it! I can’t afford this meal? But don’t order Maotai Wuliangye for wine. It’s not that I can’t afford it. Although I paid for it myself, I still can save some troubles.”
Du Juan looked at Dong Xuebin, who had been silent for a long time. “Xuebin, you order too. Everyone has one dish.”
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: “Okay, then I will order a Gongbao chicken first, ha ha.”
The dishes were ordered quickly. Because the table was a little small, Pang Shuo asked the waiter to change to a larger table. The waiter obviously knew Pang Shuo and went to do it right away.
The table is here.
“Come on, everyone sit down.”
“Pang Shuo, don’t be polite, you can be the first.”
“Don’t tell me, that’s not appropriate, Lao Liu, come on.”
“There is nothing inappropriate, otherwise you sit with Lao Liu.”
In the end, Pang Shuo and Lao Liu sat side by side at the top. Lao Liu was a businessman who did some business with the capital and had some spare money, which was considered okay in their current class. Then waited for a few of them to sit down, and the other classmates sat down one by one. There was no one on Dong Xuebin’s side to give up their seats. Finally, when all of them were done, Dong Xuebin laughed and sat low-key at the end. One seat.
Ringing, Dong Xuebin’s cell phone rang.
Dong Xuebin originally wanted to confess the crime to everyone before answering the phone, but seeing that everyone was not paying attention to him, he also let out a laugh, picked up the phone and walked to the window to pick it up.
Dong Xuebin said: “Hello, Sister Luo?”
It was Luo Haiting’s call, “Director, we are about to eat, are you?”
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, “How did you eat? Didn’t you say don’t wait for me?”
“We weren’t actually hungry just now, so…we ate it? By the way, the county party committee secretary Sun Yitao came just now and said that we would catch the wind, you see…”
“You can go. I have something wrong with me. I definitely can’t go.”
“So do you think we are eating with him? Or ignore them?”
“It’s just a meal, it doesn’t matter.” Dong Xuebin knew what she was worried about, so he said: “I left them at noon because the group of people made too big a battle, so I just let them dry together. It’s nothing to eat. Everyone has been tired for a day. Let’s have a good meal. Although our job is to investigate problems, we have to contact the local government officials. This is not conducive to our work.”
“That’s OK, I understand.”
“Well, eat well, remember not to drink.”
“Don’t worry, it certainly won’t.”
After hanging up the line, Dong Xuebin sat back and continued to eat.
At this time, I heard an old classmate say: “Pang Shuo, I found out when I came here, you Mayang County are all armed with the current state of the enemy, and the traffic police at the intersection are several times more than usual. This is What are you doing? Just because the leaders of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came here?”
Pang Shuo smiled bitterly, “You don’t know, this time the inspection team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is not going through the scene. It really wants to find out some problems. Everyone in our Construction Bureau is in danger now, for fear that the leaders of the Commission for Discipline Inspection will come over. Why do you think I only eat at about eight o’clock? It’s because of this.”
The classmate hummed: “This group of leaders, they are all fed up and have nothing to do. A good unit doesn’t wait to blindly come down and check what?”
Pang Shuo didn’t dare to talk nonsense, he just smiled.
