Chapter 285 Women's Gathering (Part 2)
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Ningyue looked at Qiao Jin with some amusement.
"It's okay." Qiao Jin curled her lips. Although she had a thousand words to say, she couldn't say them in the end.
After several turns, we arrived at Li Chunyan's villa.
There were eight parking spaces in front of the villa, and the road was a dual-lane road, so there was more than enough space to park on the side of the road. Jiang Ningyue parked the car in the parking space and began to move her things.
Feng Xin also arrived early. After seeing Jiang Ningyue, he hurriedly brought several people in the house to help.
"Minister Feng."
Qiao Jin hurriedly greeted them, and at the same time felt in his heart that the level of this private banquet was quite high, as he had a deputy-department-level leader helping him.
Feng Xin pointed at the young woman next to him and said, "Xiaoyue, this is Luo Xuan from the office. You should have met her."
Jiang Ningyue nodded at Luo Xuan, who was very enthusiastic, "Director Jiang."
Feng Xin introduced: "Xiao Luo is now Minister Chunyan's secretary. If you have any questions in the future, just go to Xiao Luo directly."
"good."
Jiang Ningyue was not surprised to hear this news. Feng Xin was the office director and now the deputy minister. Of course, he couldn't follow Li Chunyan around anytime and anywhere. This was against the rules.
However, Li Chunyan doesn't like to change secretaries casually, so the process of selecting a secretary has been very slow. It has been delayed until now, which is not easy.
After adding Luo Xuan on WeChat and leaving contact information, the few of them walked into the villa.
Li Chunyan was chatting with Lin Xuemei, Minister of the United Front Work Department, at this time.
Lin Xuemei is 53 years old, four or five years older than Li Chunyan. She has neat short hair, wears a suit, and looks very energetic.
He doesn't look like someone in his early fifties at all.
In addition to being a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department, Lin Xuemei also serves as deputy secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Provincial CPPCC.
At 53, Lin Xuemei has achieved remarkable success in this position. However, she's still slightly behind Li Chunyan. Lin Xuemei could make further strides in the future, but Haizhou Province likely doesn't have much room for her. Besides being transferred to another province as deputy provincial party secretary, she's most likely headed to Beijing.
As for provincial governors and provincial party secretaries, the probability is very small, and the number of female provincial leaders has been very small since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After seeing Jiang Ningyue, Li Chunyan hurriedly waved at Jiang Ningyue and asked her to come over.
Then, Li Chunyan took Jiang Ningyue's hand and asked her to sit next to her.
"Xuemei, do you know Xiaoyue?"
Lin Xuemei smiled and nodded, "Who doesn't know the most beautiful lady in our provincial party committee compound?"
Minister Lin was the only female member of the provincial party committee's standing committee, and she had a very close personal relationship with Li Chunyan. Because of their gender, the two interacted far more often than the other standing committee members.
"Minister Lin." Jiang Ningyue greeted Lin Xuemei with a smile.
Li Chunyan said with a smile, "The facial mask I gave you last time was given to me by Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue, did you bring it this time?"
"I brought it."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
"Take a few more boxes and put them in Xuemei's trunk."
Jiang Ningyue wanted to get up, but Qiao Jin beside her quickly said, "I'll go put it away."
"Thank you so much," Lin Xuemei said without hesitation. Li Chunyan was giving her something, so she couldn't refuse. Besides, it was just a few boxes of facial masks, so it wouldn't be considered a violation of discipline.
What's more, this mask really works wonders. After using it, Lin Xuemei felt several years younger.
Who doesn't want to be younger?
Lin Xuemei's secretary immediately took Qiao Jin to put the things away.
Feng Xin took a seat and Luo Xuan served tea and water.
Lin Xuemei smiled and said, "That mask is really effective. My skin feels much better now, as if I've returned to my forties. Chunyan, you're still young. It's true that people tend to feel weak as soon as they reach 50."
"There's not much age difference between us." Li Chunyan smiled.
“It’s really different.”
The two middle-aged and elderly people began to discuss their health and wellness. Feng Xin, who was standing close to Jiang Ningyue, chatted quietly with her, "Xiaoyue, go back and ask the people at that company to develop some skin care essences. I'm using your mask now, and my face looks younger, but you can't neglect your hands and neck either."
Hearing Feng Xin's whispers, Lin Xuemei chimed in, "Xiao Feng, this is a crucial question. While the face is the most important part, the neck shouldn't be too obvious. It's okay in the winter, but it would look a bit strange in the summer. If someone didn't know, they'd think we'd had some kind of cosmetic surgery."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Okay, Minister Lin, I will definitely solve this problem."
"Don't call me Minister Lin anymore, it's so distant."
Lin Xuemei smiled and said, "If you call Chunyan sister, then just call me sister."
"Okay, sis."
Jiang Ningyue changed her words very quickly, but she knew that Lin Xuemei and Li Chunyan were different.
As the group chatted, more and more people arrived at Li Chunyan's villa. Feng Xin transformed himself into a salesman, promoting Jiang Ningyue's facial masks. From time to time, Li Chunyan and Lin Xuemei, the two "shills," would pop up to offer a few compliments.
The atmosphere is very harmonious.
Jiang Ningyue, who was supposed to be serving tea and water, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. Some people were so impatient that they washed their faces and put on the mask right after lunch. Within 30 minutes, the difference was dramatic. While it's not like she instantly looked younger, the effect was noticeable.
Moreover, this mask was recommended by two members of the Standing Committee, so it is absolutely impossible for it to have any "cruel effects".
Some people who had never used a facial mask couldn't help themselves and washed their faces to try it.
For a time, Li Chunyan's villa became another beauty salon.
Everyone was still very excited during dinner. At the end of the meal, someone left with a large box of facial masks and two bottles of medicinal wine. They all left their contact information with Jiang Ningyue, and Li Chunyan's words and gestures indicated that they had a close relationship.
Therefore, these people naturally did not dare to look down on Jiang Ningyue, nor did they dare to treat her as a small figure who was just giving gifts. They could not say that they treated her equally, but at least they did not dare to order her around.
Lin Xuemei also treated Jiang Ningyue as a sister and left her contact information.
After everyone left, the others cleaned up in the living room, while Li Chunyan took Jiang Ningyue into the study for a detailed discussion.
"Lin Xuemei is still young, and there's a good chance she'll make great strides in the future. If you have the chance, move around more often. It won't hurt anyway."
"clear."
Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this, "Is Minister Lin a local?"
"Yes. Local pie."
If it were anyone else, Li Chunyan would definitely not talk about "factions." However, in front of Jiang Ningyue, Li Chunyan was frank. "Provincial Party Secretary Cai (Deputy Secretary) is a local faction member and has some complaints about 'inquiring about politics.' With Lin Xuemei around, at least Secretary Cai won't point the finger at you."
