After having a pleasant meal with Qin Xiaomin, Xia Jian did not dare to waste time and hurriedly drove his big Ben to the provincial capital. Along the way, he only went to the restroom in the service area without even drooling.

I can afford to drink.

At about half past eight, his car had parked downstairs at the Hill Hotel in the provincial capital. This was a four-star hotel, not low-grade. The reason why Xia Jian stayed here was for the convenience of meeting Xiong.

Lan meets.

Because before he came, he had a phone call with Xiong Lan, and the two roughly agreed on the time and place to meet. However, Xiong Lan was relatively low-key, so she only briefly talked about where she lived. This hotel was still a summer hotel.

Jian called Tong Jie and asked her to search online.

Xia Jian first opened a room for himself, then washed his face and tidied himself up, and then called Xiong Lan. When Xiong Lan heard that Xia Jian had arrived so quickly, he was naturally very happy, and Xia Jian lived there

This place was also close to her home, so she immediately agreed and said she would be there within twenty minutes.

Xia Jian was surprised that Xiong Lan could come over so readily. Most big shots had airs, so he thought it would be good if he could invite them out tomorrow night.

Xia Jian quickly booked a dining room on the phone and rushed there as quickly as possible. The facilities of a four-star hotel were not much different. The decoration of the private room was elegant and warm, and there was a table on the dining table.

A bouquet of flowers, which Xia Jian specially requested.

Xia Jian also walked around the room and checked the sound insulation effect of the house. He was very satisfied with everything. He wanted to order the dishes, but then he thought about it, but something was wrong, so he ordered it.

A pot of Tieguanyin, I drank it slowly first.

Xiong Lan was really punctual. After Xia Jian had a cup of tea, she opened the door and walked in. Behind her was a girl in her twenties.

"Oh, Mayor Xia! I kept you waiting for a long time." Xiong Lan laughed and came forward, shaking hands with Xia Jian.

Xia Jian said some polite words and asked Xiong Lan to sit down. The girl who followed her put the small bag she was carrying on the table and quietly left.

Xia Jian poured tea for Xiong Lan and said with a smile: "It's a bit abrupt. Did it disturb your rest?"

"Hey! Mayor Xia! Don't be so polite anymore. It's a bit out of line for you to say that. I am also from Pingyang Town. It is my greatest honor to have the opportunity to do something practical for the people of Pingyang Town. You are better than

Yongqiang is only a few years old, so you are also a nephew to me, so let’s stop talking about positions, okay?” Xiong Lan said with a smile.

This woman was so well-maintained. She didn't look like a woman in her fifties, but she looked like she was in her early thirties. In addition, she behaved well and had a different charm in her conversation. Xia Jian was immediately impressed.

God.

When Xiong Lan saw that Xia Jian had stopped speaking, he thought she had said something wrong, so she laughed at Xia Jian and said, "What? Do you disagree with what I said?"

When Xia Jian heard this, he came back to his senses. He was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Auntie is right. I am just a nephew to you. If there is anything wrong, please tell me."

"I don't take it as advice, but in terms of social experience, I may be better than you. I've had your information checked, otherwise I wouldn't help you." Xiong Lan laughed and suddenly became serious.

Xia Jian didn't know what to say. It was the first time for him to face a woman and he was a little frightened. To be honest, Xiong Lan's aura was really strong. Xia Jian felt this way only when he met Fuchuan Shilan.

It only happened when I was mayor.

"Oh! Auntie, let's order first! Let's chat while eating." Xia Jian was a little speechless and hurriedly handed over the menu.

Xiong Lan was not polite. She took the menu, read it over, started writing, and then put the written list on the table. Xia Jian quickly called the waiter with the list and whispered a few words.

"Xiao Xia! From your handling of Yongqiang, I saw that you are a good cadre who will definitely do things for the people, so I paid special attention to you. Later I found out that you had a lot of background and could actually give up the group.

As a general manager, I came to a small town to serve as a small mayor." When Xiong Lan said this, he couldn't help laughing.

Xia Jian sighed and said, "Auntie, I'm laughing at you. I wanted to do more for the people of Pingyang Town, but there are many things that I can't control."

"It's pretty good. Now Pingyang Town is not only a face of your Pingdu City, but also a brand of our province. It's really hard to believe that you can pay so much for Pingyang Town," Xiong Lan said with a long smile.

Take a breath.

Xia Jian chuckled and said: "To be honest, as the mayor of the town, I only want to do more practical things for the people of Pingyang Town. You said that the monthly salary is not enough for me to go out for entertainment and fuel for the car.

Money. I pay for staying in such a hotel out of my own pocket. Even so, some people still don’t understand me and give me problems everywhere.”

"I know all this, so as soon as Yongqiang called, I agreed to him immediately. Don't worry about this. For the sake of our Pingyang Town, I, Xiong Lan, will not let you down." Xiong Lan said,

Hehehe smiled.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in with a plate. Because Xia Jian had given instructions, the hot and cold dishes were served at once.

"Auntie! I wonder what you want to drink? Is it red wine or white wine?" Xia Jian asked cautiously.

Xiong Lan took a breath and said: "My little fellow is here, of course I have to drink with you. Let's have a bottle of white wine! It can't be too much, just one bottle." When these words come out of the mouth of a woman like Xiong Lan, how many

It still surprised Xia Jian.

China is a wine culture. Many things feel different when they are discussed on the wine table. After a few glasses of white wine, Xia Jian became much bolder in speaking, without the restraint he had at the beginning.

For a while, he and Xiong Lan were chatting enthusiastically. It felt like there was no age difference between them, and they were like old friends sitting together. The meal lasted for three hours. When it was approaching twelve o'clock, Xiong Lan

Only then did the information in Xia Jian's hands have to be taken away.

She smiled and said to Xia Jian: "You can have a night's rest and go back tomorrow! You can't tell anyone about our meeting. It's like it never happened."

"Okay!" Xia Jian said and opened the door. He was about to send Xiong Lan downstairs. Unexpectedly, the girl who sent Xiong Lan over was standing at the door waiting for Xiong Lan.

As soon as Xiong Lan walked out of the private room door, she didn't look back. As if she didn't know Xia Jian, she walked straight into the elevator. Xia Jian also hurriedly returned to the private room.

The waiter told him that the bill for this room had been paid.

Xia Jian understood immediately. It seemed that Xiong Lan had already explained it before she came. While they were talking inside, her follower had already buried the order.

Back in the hotel room, Xia Jian didn't feel sleepy at all. He took a shower first, and then lay on the bed and thought about it. He still didn't figure out who Xiong Lan was. He didn't mention it just now.

, he didn’t dare to ask.

Xiong Lan's identity may be a bit special. Even her nephew Xiong Yongqiang doesn't know. He only knows that his aunt is a big shot and is very powerful in the provincial capital.

With this question in mind, Xia Jian fell asleep unknowingly. Since he had driven for seven or eight hours, he slept well as soon as he fell asleep. He didn't open his eyes until about eight o'clock in the morning.

He quickly got out of bed and washed himself. Suddenly he remembered Yao Junli. The last time she was hospitalized in the provincial capital, he had been there. He didn't ask her what happened to her afterwards. His friend was not up to standard at all.

Always forgetting other people's things.

After coming out of the bathroom, Xia Jian picked up his cell phone and dialed Yao Junli. The call was quickly connected, and Yao Junli on the phone laughed and said: "Mayor Xia! Why did you remember to call me?"

Although Yao Junli was laughing, it could be clearly heard that she was still a little unhappy. Xia Jian laughed quickly and said, "Look what you said, how are you now? Where are you?"

"Oh! I'm sorry for your concern. Everything is fine with me. I'm resting in a hotel in the provincial capital. What's wrong? If you want to see me for anything, just tell me." Yao Junli's tone was obviously a bit stiff.

Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay! I'm just asking casually, as long as you are in good health." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Yao Junli to speak.

Although Yao Junli is a woman, she is really a good confidante for Xia Jian. Not to mention the happy time they had together, Yao Junli has helped Xia Jian a lot.

Pingyang Town has invested in several projects. If Yao Junli hadn't been there, Wang Yihua, a wealthy man from Qingshan County, wouldn't have followed suit. It's better to never forget your roots.

Xia Jian had breakfast at the hotel first and then checked out the house. He asked at the front desk for directions to Yao Junli Hotel, then quickly found his car and drove directly to find Yao Junli.

On the way, he also bought a bouquet of flowers. Xia Jian really didn't do this kind of flower delivery. As soon as the car got on the road, Xia Jian knew how to go.

Maybe it was after the rush hour and there weren't many cars on the road, so Xia Jian only drove for more than half an hour and he had already arrived at Yao Junli's Convenient Hotel.

After parking the car, Xia Jian strode into the lobby on the first floor with flowers in his arms. The manager on duty happened to be inspecting work in the lobby on the first floor. She knew Xia Jian, so she hurried up to greet Xia Jian before he could speak.

"Hello Mr. Xia! Are you looking for someone?" the manager on duty asked with a smile.

Xia Jian nodded and asked softly: "Which room does Mr. Yao live in? I want to give her a surprise."

You don’t know the room yet. This is a general reasoning logic, so Xia Jian simply omitted it.

"Oh! We, Mr. Yao, are temporarily staying in the luxurious private room 808. You must have made an appointment!" Although the female manager on duty told where Yao Junli lived, she still did not forget to add another question. This was a sign of respect to them.

A kind of responsibility of the boss.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I called her just now and she said she was in a hotel in the provincial capital, so I rushed over." Xia Jian said, turned around and left.

He got on the elevator and went straight to the eighth floor. After Xia Jian stepped out of the elevator, he felt a little relieved. Holding such a bouquet of flowers in his hand, he felt uncomfortable all over. When he came to room 808, Xia Jian raised his hand and knocked on the door.
