Xu Ning came back from the factory and saw Lu Xiaotang's car parked at the door. He usually came back at night, so why did he come back so early today?
As soon as I walked to the hanging flower gate in the backyard, I saw him wearing casual clothes and preparing to go out.
"Where are you going?"
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "Wife, are you done with school? Guan Zi has arranged to have dinner with several leaders from the Education Bureau and the Municipal Government.
Let me and Peter Ho go to keep you company. We may be back a little late today. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed early. ”
After hearing his words, Xu Ning paused for a moment, knowing that he was preparing for a rainy day, fearing that Wu Guangbo would cause trouble for her.
She smiled and said, "Then come back earlier and don't drink so much."
"I know. They are all acquaintances. I know them all, too. But they are in the government department, and we are in the army. We don't interact with each other very often. I took this opportunity to visit them."
The restaurant was found by Guanzi, and it is located in a remote courtyard.
When Lu Xiaotang and Huo Zhenting arrived, there were already a few people sitting inside, and Guan Zi was sitting there chatting and laughing with them.
Seeing the two people coming in, he stood up and said with a smile, "Leaders, I don't need to introduce these two, right? Lu Xiaotang, Huo Zhenting, we are from the same compound. When we were young, we were naughty and smashed the windows of your house. You chased us and beat us up many times."
Several people hurriedly stood up to greet them. How could they not know these two people? Guan Zi's words just now were a compliment to them.
Who among you here dares to chase after the kids in the compound and beat them up? Especially this Peter Ho, his father is the famous Chief Ho, everyone who meets him would give him some face, right?
The man next to him, Lu Xiaotang, has a father who is the head of a military hospital, and he himself is very successful at a young age.
At the age of only 20, he is already the regiment commander of the Beijing Military Region. There are only a few such young regiment commanders in the whole country, and his future is truly limitless.
It's Guan Zi. His grandfather and father are also very famous in the army.
This guy is not a simple person. He has only been in the Public Security Bureau for a few years, but now he is the section chief.
I wonder what this guy's intention is in inviting them together today?
Seeing that several leaders had stood up, Lu Xiaotang and Huo Zhenting hurried over to shake hands with them.
Lu Xiaotang said with a smile: "Please take a seat, leaders. Guan Zi asked us to come and talk with you today, but the troops are a bit busy, so we are a little late. I hope you don't mind."
Peter Ho glanced at him. Why was this man so cunning? The two of them had clearly been there for a while, but he insisted on waiting in the car before coming over.
You said that the army was busy. Haha, you came back this afternoon. Where were you busy?
The head of the Education Bureau smiled and said, "Work is important. Besides, we are not outsiders. What does it matter if we arrive early or late?"
Guan Zi saw that they had almost finished talking, so he smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and told the kitchen to prepare the food.
Lu Xiaotang opened the two bottles of Moutai he brought with him, and together with Huo Zhenting filled up the glasses for several people. As they toasted each other, the conversation became more and more lively, and everyone felt like they were drinking with a bosom friend.
Lu Xiaotang inadvertently revealed that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were professors at Peking University, and his wife, eldest uncle and his wife, and second brother-in-law were also studying at Peking University.
After hearing this, several leaders praised: "Everyone in the family is either a professor or a college student. What a scholarly family! Xiaotang, you are so lucky!"
He smiled and said, "What the leaders said is right. It is my blessing to marry my wife. I am marrying above my station."
Liu Mingxuan, the head of the Education Bureau, disagreed and said, "How can you say you are marrying above your station? Xiaotang, you are also very good.
By the way, what are the names of your father-in-law and mother-in-law? If I tell you, it's possible that I know him. ”
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "My father-in-law is Xu Hongming, a professor of Chinese, and my mother-in-law is Lin Man, who teaches history."
Liu Mingxuan said in surprise: "Oh, Xu Hongming is your father-in-law? He is a very good teacher. The president of Beijing University thinks highly of him. It seems that he was promoted last month."
After hearing what he said, Lu Xiaotang said guiltily: "I haven't been home for a long time. I didn't know anything about my father-in-law's promotion."
Liu Mingxuan patted his shoulder and sighed, "Our peaceful life now is inseparable from your efforts.
Xiaotang, don't worry, our teachers at Peking University are of high quality, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law will understand you. ”
Guan Zi and Huo Zhenting saw that Lu Xiaotang had said everything he needed to say, so they raised their glasses and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu is right, let us toast to all the leaders.
We learned a lot from listening to the speeches of several leaders tonight.
If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely visit several leaders at their homes.
I will learn from you all the ways of being an official, and please don't find it annoying when the time comes. ”
After hearing this, several people laughed and said, "It's not like we can study, but you're always welcome to come over and play at home."
The meal was a great success. Guan Zi, Lu Xiaotang and Ho Ying-tung saw off the leaders and then returned to the hotel to sit for a while.
