Chapter 78
Chapter 77: Unexpected Encounter
(This is the fourth update, still thanks to the Ximachimo brothers for their support; the update of the new day, I am afraid it will have to wait until tomorrow morning)
Hearing Shen Huai say that the place to eat at night is in the South Garden, Chen Dan was a little puzzled and asked, “If you have dinner, why don’t you come to the town and have to go to the South Garden?”
Shen Huai said with a smile: “The town reception station will be contracted to you, and the town government also intends to support it as a key catering company in Meixi Town. You don’t have to learn more, how can you do it? Donghua is a catering company, and you can do it well. , just the ones in Nanyuan. After all, Nanyuan serves the city leaders. Don’t look at the loss every year. There are many people who eat and drink for free. The real software and hardware are first-class in Donghua. The standard is to study abroad directly, the requirements are too high, let’s look at Nanyuan first…”
Chen Dan smiled, with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes, and said, “Then I’ll go back and put the agreement in place first, and wait for you at the back door of Anlan Temple…”
Shen Huai knew that Chen Dan didn’t want to take his car out of the town government and fall into the eyes of others, so he went with her and said, “Okay, I’ll deal with the documents at hand, and I’ll go over in about fifteen to twenty minutes. …”
After Chen Dan left, Shen Huai lingered in the office for 20 minutes, then went downstairs and drove the Passat out of the town government.
At this time, I was rushing to the factory and school to get off work and school, and the streets of the school were very congested. Xiao Li had to eat at school and then went to self-study at night. Shen Huai and Chen Dan didn’t need to pay attention to her. Shen Huai was going to go back to the dormitory to change clothes, but he was stuck on the road for a few minutes. He was afraid that Chen Dan would be in a hurry, so he went directly to the appointed place to pick her up in the car.
Anlan Temple is located in a small temple on the south side of Meixi Old Street. The gate faces Meixi Old Street and the back door faces Gangchang Road. The place where Chen Dan made an appointment is the back door of Anlan Temple on Gangchang Road.
Gangchang Road is a dead end, extending to the Meixi River. There is no bridge to go to the city, so there are not many idlers in the back street of Anlan Temple. But if you want to go to the city, you have to go around Xuetang Street and walk down the Mei Highway…
Chen Dan changed into a thin woolen trench coat. In 1993, the woolen fabric looked more upscale in Donghua. It was mid-December, the weather was cold, and the north wind was blowing the ground white. Chen Dan wore a red scarf, and the warm tones made her face as tender and greasy as fat, and her red and glamorous.
“It’s cooling down today, and the temperature has dropped suddenly. It’s unbearable,” Chen Dan asked, seeing that Shen Huai was still wearing the steel mill’s dark blue overalls, “Would you like to go back and change?”
“What’s the matter, our workers can’t bring a beautiful woman to Nanyuan for dinner?” Shen Huai asked.
Seeing Shen Huai’s exaggerated surface, Chen Dan knew that the more he talked, the more proud he became, Mei Mu glanced at him, rubbed her hands and breathed.
“It’s really cold?” Shen Huai said, “Then I will borrow you to cover it in my arms.”
Chen Dan dragged his voice and said, “Hurry up and drive…”
Zhao Dong had a rare rest today, and he knew that Chen Dan was going to sign a contract with the town today. He specifically told Shen Huai to celebrate, and Shen Huai asked him to treat him in the South Garden.
Shen Huai didn’t tell Chen Tong and Yang Haipeng about the meal, knowing that Chen Dan didn’t like to make some things too public.
Driving to Nanyuan, Zhao Dong and his girlfriend Xiao Mingxia have already arrived first, waiting for them there.
“You don’t know how to change your clothes?” During this period of time, Zhao Dong rarely accompanies Xiao Mingxia to the streets, and rarely comes to eat at a high-end place like Nanyuan. He wears a suit and stands outside Shen Huai outside Nanyuan. them.
When Shen Huai parked the car and came over, wearing the work clothes of the steel mill, Zhao Dong could only ask helplessly.
“What’s wrong? It’s you who lost the simple style of the working stage, and will educate you when you return to the steel mill,” Shen Huai joked with Zhao Dong, and then greeted Xiao Mingxia, “During this time, Zhao Dong gave me a mule. Working in a steel factory, making him have no time to serve you comfortably, you don’t hate me, do you?”
“Zhao Dong said that you are very powerful in Meixi, and you can stop the child from crying at night!” Xiao Mingxia asked with a smile, “Why can’t the dog’s mouth spit ivory?”
“I’m young, and I don’t have a sullen face in the government. They think my steel mill used to collect scrap iron,” Shen Huai said with a smile, “Anyway, in your eyes, I’m a scrap iron collector…”
Chen Dan pursed her lips and smiled, she also thought that Shen Huai was too serious and strict in the town, serious and strict, so serious that he was only twenty-four years old, but she really liked the way his hippie smile looked sunny at this time. .
The main building facing the street in Nanyuan has guest rooms and restaurants, but the essence of Nanyuan’s catering is still in the banquet hall of Cuihua Building at the back.
Cuihua Building was a hall-style building in the Republic of China. It was surrounded by a dozen old-style western-style buildings, that is, the “palace” of the city leaders. Entering from the street, there is a tree-lined path with a quiet environment.
The larger banquets of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are almost always held in the Cuihua Building.
The price of dining in Cuihua Building is not to say how expensive it is. The key is that people who have nothing to do with it have no chance to dine in.
Chen Mingde passed away suddenly due to illness, and held the responsibility for the poor management of the South Garden by the Municipal Government Office, and then the Municipal Party Committee Office was in charge of the South Garden. Others can’t get a seat in the Cuihua Building, but Zhao Dong doesn’t mind taking Xiong Wenbin’s name out for use.
Chen Dan and Xiao Mingxia were behind to talk, Shen Huai and Zhao Dong were walking up the steps in front, and just as they were about to push the door into the lobby, a staff member stepped in from the side to stop Shen Huai, who looked like a worker:
“Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for?”
“I’m not looking for someone, can I go in for dinner?” Shen Huai stopped and looked at the staff member who ran over to stop him. It was a beautiful girl with a familiar face, but couldn’t remember her name.
“Shen, Secretary Shen,” the staff member saw that the ordinary worker was dressed as Shen Huai, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t see that it was Secretary Shen.” He opened the copper-clad glass door and asked Shen Huai to enter the lobby.
Shen Huai and Chen Dan spread their hands and said, “After I left the city government, my temper has actually changed a lot…”
Chen Dan pursed his lips and smiled, thanked the girl who helped them open the door, and then went in.
She knew that Shen Huai was in Meixi Town, and he was strict with colleagues and cadres, but he had a calm attitude toward office staff. Even in the steel mill, others are killing chickens and terrifying monkeys, and Shen Huai is more of killing monkeys and terrifying chickens.
I really didn’t expect that the girl in front of me was so afraid of Shen Huai, I really don’t know what kind of virtue Shen Huai used to be in the city government…
Without saying anything to the staff, Shen Huai and Zhao Dong went inside.
The food and beverages in Cuihua Building are mainly private rooms, but from the front hall, there is a row of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lake, with an excellent view. There are several booths, and Zhao Dong reserved the table there.
Government officials are accustomed to eating and drinking in the box, and the booths on this side of the hall are deserted. They are the only guests at the table. Shen Huai took out the chair and asked Chen Dan to sit next to him, smiling: “Compared to the box, we have the The lower hall, and this lake view, really took advantage of it…”
After sitting down, Shen Huai and Chen Dan studied many details of the dining in Nanyuan Cuihua Building. There are many places that the town reception station can learn without too much effort, but they are afraid that Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia will be left out, and said with a smile : “Chen Dan’s thoughts these days are all on this, and you all help to keep an eye on it. I encouraged her to take over the reception station in Meixi Town, and I suddenly raised the contracting fee to twenty. Forty thousand, I’m mainly afraid that no one will take over at the reception station. However, if she makes a loss, she will hate me for the rest of her life…”
“Don’t you just expect people to hate you for the rest of your life?” Xiao Mingxia smiled.
Although Chen Dan is a little younger than Xiao Mingxia, she has gone through so many things and is much more mature than Xiao Mingxia. Unlike Xiao Mingxia, who grew up in a relatively wealthy family, she was assigned to the kindergarten affiliated to the city steel factory after graduation from a kindergarten teacher. Working, and talking about marriage with such an excellent man as Zhao Dong…
Just listening to Xiao Mingxia joking about her relationship with Shen Huai, Chen Dan was still a little embarrassed to speak up.
“Mingxia, Mingxia, you bastard, you said it was a class reunion, why did you come here?”
Listening to someone calling her name, Xiao Mingxia looked back and saw her parents coming from the front hall. Realizing that the lie had been exposed, her smile froze on her face, and she continued to lie: “It’s dinner with Zhao Dong and his classmates, parents, what are you doing? Come to Nanyuan for dinner too?”
Seeing the two people who came over, they were Xiao Mingxia’s parents and Zhao Dong’s future parents-in-law. Shen Huai didn’t dare to neglect, and hurriedly stood up to say hello to Chen Dan.
Xiao Mingxia’s parents are both cadres of the Tangzha District Construction Bureau. Although they are against their daughter’s marriage with Zhao Dong, her daughter is there with Zhao Dong all the time, and it’s not easy to say anything in front of outsiders.
Xiao Jian just nodded coldly: “So it’s Zhao Dong’s classmate, you dead girl, to be honest, we can still kill you!”
Xiao Jian glanced at Shen Huai and looked at the dark work clothes on his body. The young man looked very energetic, and the girls around him were also very eye-catching, but no matter what, he was just a worker and thought very annoyingly: Zhao The more he lived, the less promising he was, and how could he mix with the workers below.
Xiao Mingjian didn’t mean to shake hands with Shen Huai. He saw the work clothes he was wearing, and he didn’t even look directly at his face. He glanced over and turned to the side, and said directly to Zhao Dong, “The district leader is treating guests to dinner. It was on the second floor, someone saw you like you. We came out and saw that you really came to Nanyuan for dinner secretly~www.readwn.com~ There are also leaders of the Construction Bureau on the second floor, you and Mingxia Go up and have a toast with everyone…”
Xiao Jian was deeply dissatisfied with Zhao Dong, the prospective son-in-law, but his daughter had already lied to this scumbag to bed, and her daughter even put the condom in her handbag openly, but he could only recognize it with his nose.
Shen Huai stretched out his hand for a long time, and seeing Xiao Jiandu turned around, he could only withdraw his hand with an embarrassed smile.
Xiao Mingxia saw that her father was so snobby that Shen Huai was so embarrassed, and she was very dissatisfied and sad, and said, “Dad…” Zhao Dong was also embarrassed, Mingxia’s father had already put on a favorable face and said, ” Uncle, aunt, this is from our factory…”
“I know, it’s okay to have a meal with my colleagues, and there’s no need to say it’s a classmate or something.” Xiao Jian hit haha, and he didn’t want to take another look at Shen Huai from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Huai smiled. He didn’t want to embarrass Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia, so he patted Zhao Dong on the shoulder and said, “You guys go up to the respectful bar, Chen Dan and I continue to chat in the hall, this dish will take a while… ”
Seeing that Mingxia’s parents walked away, Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia were very embarrassed, Shen Huai waved his hand and said with a smile: “Mingxia’s parents are willing to introduce you to the leaders of the district, which means that they still accept you as a fool. Son-in-law, go up, why are you hesitating?”
Chasing Zhao Dong and Xiao Mingxia upstairs, Shen Huai asked Chen Dan, “Has the smile on my face froze?”
Chen Dan happily smiled and said: “I asked you to change your clothes, but Zhao Dong and Mingxia were caught in the middle and it was difficult to be a person.” He couldn’t help pinching his face and said, “Fortunately, the smile was not complete. Out of shape…” After saying that, he couldn’t help laughing.
Although Chen Dan can feel more secure when Shen Huai is in full authority, but seeing that he is willing to aggravate himself for others, he feels more close, and he can’t help showing a childish attitude in front of him, like an intimate couple.
