After both the guests and the host arrived, the waitress in classical cheongsam who was in charge of serving Baixiang Pavilion took the initiative to tell Chen Yang that the dishes were ready. Chen Yang smiled and signaled that the dishes could be served. .
After a while, more than ten carefully prepared dishes were placed on the entire round table. The dishes were all arranged by Geng Feng himself. They basically covered all the signature dishes of this official restaurant. What are the best dishes of the day? , radish meatballs, stir-fried shredded pork with Laoshan mushrooms, boiled eel and so on.
After Chen Yang waited for all the dishes to be served, he took out the bottle of Maotai that Geng Feng had brought into the private room. Ye Wei, with quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly got up from his seat and took out the bottle of Maotai that Chen Yang had specially brought from home. The 20-year-old Maotai wine was opened, and then he respectfully filled the wine glasses in front of Chen Yang, his wife, and his father, and then poured a glass for himself and Shen Li.
"Haha, ever since I was transferred back to Yanjing, I have always wanted to find time to have a nice drink with Commander Ye. It's just that I have been busy with worldly affairs since I returned to Beijing, so I have put it off until now."
With a slight smile on his face, Chen Yang raised his glass and said, "Come on, Commander Ye, let me toast you first."
Ye Zhennan also smiled and raised his glass and responded: "Director Chen is so polite. This boy of mine is very naughty. Thanks to Director Chen, he has always taken good care of him. If you really think about it, I should be the one to treat Director Chen to this meal." It makes sense"
Chen Yang smiled and said nothing more. After touching the glasses with Ye Zhennan, he took a sip of wine, which was about the width of a finger. It was neither rude nor gave the impression that he wanted to fight for wine. In fact, to where he is now. No matter what kind of banquet he attends outside, basically no one would dare to make him drink.
Ye Zhennan's first sip of wine was similar to that of Chen Yang. In fact, his current position is very sensitive. He controls the garrison, the most important armed force that protects the capital. More than a hundred years ago, that was A serious military official of the emperor, in fact he was also an important military official whom the principal relied heavily on. And he has always been a teetotaler in the army. If Chen Yang hadn't invited him to dinner today, he would never have left his post without permission.
Ye Wei, his wife and Chen Ruonan also drank a little with Chen Yang and Ye Wei at this time. Ye Wei had a very large drinking capacity. There was no reaction at all after drinking this finger-wide drink. However, the two ladies at the table were somewhat blushing.
"Ahem!"
Perhaps because he drank too much, Chen Ruonan choked when he put the glass down, lowered his head and coughed twice.
Chen Yang quickly gave Chen Ruonan a slice of ice eel and said with some distress: "We are all in this house. Just drink it for a while. Don't drink it in such a hurry."
"Haha. Director Chen, don't underestimate this girl Ruonan. Years ago, I went to their National Defense University to participate in a training class for senior generals. I remember that at the graduation dinner, Ruonan was with several professors from their college, but We, a bunch of old guys, beat several of them to their knees."
When Commander Ye saw this, he smiled and started joking next to him.
Chen Yang glanced at Chen Ruonan next to him with some surprise. This was the first time he heard someone say that his wife was a good drinker. You must know that Chen Ruonan basically didn't drink much at home, even though If you want to drink something with yourself or your parents, it's just a small half cup.
But Chen Ruonan smiled and said: "Uncle Ye, please stop talking nonsense to Chen Yang. At first glance, your words sound like I am about to become an alcoholic."
Commander Ye burst into laughter upon hearing this.
After changing cups and changing cups, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became more lively. Chen Yang did not have any special purpose in asking Lao Ye out for dinner this time. He just wanted to have a better relationship with the other party. After all, although he had Student Ye Wei has this relationship, but in many cases, the relationship that should be contacted is still more contact.
After all, Jiuchao Mansion is a well-known government restaurant. Although today is not a weekend, there are still many customers who come to order food. It's not even seven o'clock, and the mansion is already full, not to mention the private rooms, even the lobby outside. At this moment, there is no place left.
It was a coincidence that while Chen Yang was hosting a banquet for Commander Ye, Xue Xiaobao and several colleagues from the unit were also running to this hotel tonight to have a tooth ceremony. However, they were not so lucky. They could not book a private room, so they had to I asked for a booth in the lobby outside. Some of their colleagues are VIP customers here, so the booth location they want to go to is better. It is much better to sit near the window sill than to be squeezed in the middle of the hall to eat.
Xue Xiaobao, who was sitting by the window, was looking at the scenery outside the window boredly, chatting absentmindedly with several colleagues from the unit.
Sitting next to her is a man of fourThe woman, who is around 6 years old, looks decent and well-maintained. She looks like a beautiful young woman who still retains her charm. She seemed to suddenly remember something at this time, so she came to Xue Xiaobao and asked: "Hey, by the way, Xiaoxue, haven't you been in Huahai for a long time? Why don't you tell us a little bit about Huahai?" How is it there, is it easy to live in?"
Xue Xiaobao was in a daze thinking about something. After being interrupted by her colleague, she suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Ah, Sister Liao, what did you just ask me?"
The young woman known as Sister Liao seemed to have a good personal relationship with Xue Xiaobao. Seeing Xue Xiaobao's confused expression at this time, she did not continue to ask the question just now, but chuckled softly. He joked about Xue Xiaobao: "Tsk, tsk, Xiao Xue, you look like you are distracted. Come on, tell me honestly. Do you miss your man?"
Xue Xiaobao's pretty face turned red when she heard this. She raised her hand in embarrassment as if to hit Sister Liao who spoke without blocking her words: "Sister Liao, what are you talking about? I, I didn't think about this. It¡¯s a mess¡¡±
Sister Liao giggled and dodged Xue Xiaobao's little hand, and continued to joke: "Hey, Xiao Xue, you still don't want to admit it. If you don't, then why are you blushing?"
Xue Xiaobao was no match for such a well-informed elder sister. Suddenly her face turned redder and redder. She could only bite her lips and pretend to be angry and said: "Sister Liao, if you laugh at me like this again, I, I will leave." It¡¯s human!¡±
Sister Liao barely stopped laughing, but she still had a teasing expression on her face. She quickly hugged Xue Xiaobao, who was about to leave, and said: "Haha, look how anxious you are. What's wrong? Sister Liao is just kidding you." Can not be done?"
The blush on Xue Xiaobao's face dissipated a little, but Sister Liao was really right about her just now. She was indeed thinking about some shameful things before, and who she was thinking about, naturally there is no need to say more Unfortunately, she had never imagined that the man she had longed for was right in front of her, entertaining guests for dinner in a private room in the inner courtyard.
Speaking of which, she really felt quite depressed. After attending a half-year cadre training class at the Yanjing Party School last year, she was never able to return to Huahai. Instead, she was assigned to a foreign trade department under the Ministry of Commerce. Si went to work. Although her rank was raised by half a level, she had no idea of ??promotion and wealth. After complaining to Chen Yang for a few times, she finally reluctantly stayed in the Foreign Trade Department with Chen Yang's comfort. In early June, when she heard the news that Chen Yang was transferred from Huahai and returned to Beijing, she felt extremely happy. She thought she could finally meet Chen Yang, but unfortunately, at this time, , the ministry suddenly organized a group of middle-level key personnel to study in the United States for a short period of time. What was even more unfortunate was that her name was also included in the list of this group of key personnel who went to the United States to study, and after she left, she stayed abroad. She had been studying for three months, and she didn't finish her studies until last week and returned to China. Although she called Chen Yang frequently during this period, she had some weird thoughts in her heart after not seeing him for such a long time.
The Sister Liao next to her is a colleague and good friend who went to the United States to study with her. The two stayed in the same dormitory for three months, and their relationship was naturally very good. Sister Liao was a bit of a gossip, always asking about her significant other. Who? The gossip kept me awake at night.
"Hey, Xiao Xue, I'm not joking with you. I want to tell you something serious. Didn't we already agree that when we get back to China, our two families will find a time to have a meal together. You can find time to hurry up. Summon your Mr.
Xue Xiaobao didn't dare to accept Sister Liao's kindness. She had agreed to the other party casually at first, but she didn't expect that the other party would remember it so well and brought it up as soon as she returned home. However, she and Sister Liao had a very good relationship, so she didn't know how to refuse at this time. , he could only hesitate and respond casually: "Let's talk about this again, Sister Liao, Imy husband, he is usually very busy with work, and he may not be able to spare time to come over"
After saying that, she herself blushed first, not because of Sister Liao, but because she felt ashamed of her unabashed speech, especially when she thought about how naturally she said the word "husband" just now. It went smoothly, and she couldn't help but blush again.
Sister Liao did not see the change in Xue Xiaobao's face. When Xue Xiaobao said this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her little sister: "What's wrong with being busy at work? Who is not busy at work these days? Let me tell you, little sister Xue, you shouldn't be so spoiled to men. Men are inherently mean. The more you spoil him and pamper him, the less he will care about you.?Seriously, huh, according to your conditions, Xiaoxue, you need to have good looks and a good body. What kind of man are you looking for? Not to mention the distance, I have a lot of young talents at my disposal right now for you to choose from. Xiao Xue, just listen to my sister, call him now and ask him to come to Yanjing to see you immediately. If he refuses to come, you can kick him as soon as you turn around.
