Chapter 284: Old Women's Gathering (Part 1)
Now that we have finished discussing serious matters, it’s time to chat about some trivial matters.
Li Chunyan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "This Saturday, I've invited the wives of several members of the Standing Committee, as well as Lin Xuemei, the head of the United Front Work Department, to have tea and chat. You should come along then."
"Oh." Jiang Ningyue nodded. In this kind of party, Jiang Ningyue's role was to serve tea and water.
"Bring your mask with you then."
Li Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "Take more and I'll help you promote it."
The system's "magic mask" is incredibly effective. Li Chunyan has been using it for several years, and her skin feels noticeably younger. Her wrinkles have faded, becoming almost invisible unless you look closely.
It's no exaggeration to say that as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, if Li Chunyan wanted to, countless beauty industry bosses would line up to give her cosmetics. Even if Li Chunyan didn't reveal her intentions, when she visited the prefecture-level cities, governments at all levels would give her gifts in various ways.
It is called a "souvenir".
Therefore, although Li Chunyan considers herself to be honest, she has also used a lot of good things.
However, even famous cosmetics, whether they are facial masks or topical ones, cannot compare with Jiang Ningyue's mask.
Li Chunyan occasionally gave away one or two boxes and received excellent feedback.
If it were an ordinary person, Li Chunyan might just treat him as a tool, only needing him to provide facial masks, and would not introduce him to other people.
This is a very normal thing.
But Jiang Ningyue is different, Jiang Ningyue is Li Chunyan's 'sister'.
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"And your wine." Li Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "Use gift boxes to divide it up. Put two bottles in each gift box. Then put more in the trunk, ten bottles at first. It's better to have more than less."
"good."
Jiang Ningyue wrote them down one by one.
Li Chunyan thought for a moment and then said, "Do you have any trusted people?"
This question confused Jiang Ningyue. She knew that Li Chunyan was not asking about 'Gu Meng', but people like Tian Jun and Nian Sisi.
"From the TV station?"
"No." Li Chunyan shook her head.
"Qiao Jin from the Discipline Inspection Commission?" Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment. "I have a good relationship with her, and she's quite respectful."
"OK."
Li Chunyan thought for a moment and said, "You can ask her to come along when the time comes."
"knew."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
After leaving Li Chunyan's office, Jiang Ningyue sent a WeChat message to Qiao Jin, "Sister Qiao, are you busy on Saturday?"
Qiao Jin didn't reply immediately, but waited more than two hours before replying, "Nothing, do you want to go shopping?"
【Not shopping.】
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to Minister Chunyan's house on Saturday for a private party. Are you interested?"
When Qiao Jin saw this WeChat message, she was so frightened that she almost stood up. She replied tremblingly:
Is that true?
【real. 】
【I will definitely be there on time. 】
[Okay, let's meet at my house.]
——
Saturday, November 27th.
Before 8 o'clock, Qiao Jin called Jiang Ningyue, "Xiaoyue, I'm downstairs at your house."
"Huh? What time is it?" Jiang Ningyue was having breakfast with Gu Meng. She was a little dazed when she received the call. She glanced at the time and said, "It's only 8 o'clock, sister. Isn't the party at noon?"
"Hehe." Qiao Jin said with a slightly flattering smile, "I'm just afraid it's too late."
"It's not that early."
Jiang Ningyue's voice was filled with helplessness. "Ring the doorbell, and I'll open the door for you."
"good."
A minute later, Qiao Jin came to the door. She was wearing a white coat and holding a few boxes of quite expensive fruits.
"What else are you holding? You're so polite."
Jiang Ningyue, still in her pajamas, pointed to the slippers on the ground and said, "It's cold outside, come in quickly."
"good."
Qiao Jin changed into slippers and walked in.
Jiang Ningyue asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
Qiao Jin answered, and at the same time she saw a strange figure in the restaurant, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know there was anyone at your home."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "It's okay, no need to be so formal. This is Gu Meng. Mengmeng, this is Qiao Jin from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Sister Qiao."
Gu Meng chewed the dumplings in her mouth twice quickly, swallowed them, and waved to Qiao Jin with a smile, "Hello, Sister Qiao."
"Hello, hello, excuse me for disturbing you."
After saying hello, Qiao Jin realized belatedly, "Gu Meng, you're a big star! This is my first time seeing a star."
Gu Meng smiled but didn't respond.
Jiang Ningyue sat down and invited, "Would you like to eat some more?"
"No, no."
Qiao Jin ran to the living room and sat down.
About 10 minutes later, Jiang Ningyue came out with a garbage bag in her hand, opened the door and put it at the door.
"Sister Qiao, you came at the right time. Please help me move my things to the car later."
"Can."
With Qiao Jin's help, Jiang Ningyue's facial mask and the prepared medicinal wine were placed in a gift box. At the same time, Jiang Ningyue took out a box of facial masks and handed it to Qiao Jin, "This is for you."
Qiao Jin looked at it in confusion, "What brand is this?"
“It’s not a big brand, but this stuff is really good.”
"very good?"
"See these in my trunk? They're for Minister Chunyan and her friends."
"Wow." When Qiao Jin heard this, she knew that this facial mask was definitely not bad. Something that was not of good enough would not be acceptable to Minister Chunyan.
Near noon, Jiang Ningyue drove to the provincial party committee’s staff quarters.
The large flat that Gu Meng bought is not too far from the provincial party committee’s staff housing compound. You can drive directly to the entrance of the community by following Central Avenue.
Although there is no obvious signboard in the family compound, there are always police cars parked across the green belt at the entrance of the community regardless of wind or rain, and traffic police stand at the entrance to maintain order.
Seeing this, you have arrived.
There is a wide green belt at the entrance of the community, planted with tall trees. Only when winter approaches can you see from the gaps that this is a villa area.
Jiang Ningyue's car turned directly in. Her license plate number had been registered here long ago.
Seeing the barrier pole raised, the armed police saluted.
The vehicle drove onto a bridge about 100 meters long and finally arrived at the family compound.
Qiao Jin sighed, "When I was in school, I often passed by here. I used to wonder, why would the traffic police stand guard at such a big intersection with such a big red light instead of standing guard at the entrance of this residential complex? Only when I grew up did I realize that this residential complex was once the family compound for the provincial Party Committee and provincial government. However, this was my first time inside a family compound, and I was driving."
The villa area has a very good green environment. The single-family villas are more than ten meters apart, and there are trees in the middle to serve as natural partitions. Even if you have a dinner in the backyard, you will not be seen by passers-by.
Of course, it is late autumn now and we are about to enter winter. Only when the leaves fall can we see some of them.
However, at this time of year, no one would go to the backyard for a dinner party.
Moreover, it is very quiet here, with very few vehicles driving in the villa area. In addition to the current members of the Standing Committee, it is said that there are also many retired cadres and descendants of celebrities living here.
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "I got used to it after coming here a few times. It's nothing special."
When Qiao Jin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Ningyue, feeling a little sour in his heart.
