Yao Na glanced at Division Chief Jiang and Director Wang, who were talking to Zhuang Cheng. Seeing that they weren't paying attention to them, her face darkened slightly. She put the wine glass on the table and said, "Yuanyuan, why are you so insensible? Is it so easy to ask the leaders for help? Shouldn't you liven up the atmosphere first? You can't wait to ask the leaders for help. That's too eager for quick success! "
"But …" Xu Yuanyuan said, "We've drunk a lot of wine, and it's getting late …"
Today's dinner party was a bottle of Zui Ba Xian, which cost 888 yuan per bottle. Nowadays, Zui Ba Xian had become the first choice for many people in social gatherings. At the same price, the taste was better than those famous white wines.
They had already opened the second bottle. Thinking of this, Xu Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel distressed. Her and Zhuang Yan's monthly salary was less than 7,000 yuan. Today, they had eaten a few thousand yuan.
The key was that there was no progress at all.
"Are you worried about the money?" Yao Na glanced at Xu Yuanyuan and said in a sarcastic tone, "Who doesn't spend money these days? You can't bear to spend money on a meal. What else do you want to do? "
Xu Yuanyuan frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. I just … I just want you to mention my matter to Director Wang at the right time …"
"I know!" Yao Na said.
Then she stopped talking to Xu Yuanyuan and immediately picked up her glass with a smile. Her face changed faster than flipping a book, because Division Chief Jiang raised his glass to her.
Seeing the big brother and sister-in-law beside the two leaders, Zhuang Yan and Xu Yuanyuan looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.
The social event made Xu Yuanyuan and Zhuang Yan uneasy. They were not used to it.
Under Yao Na's instructions, Zhuang Yan went to pay the bill in advance. When he saw the number on the bill, he felt even more distressed.
The key was that they had spent so much money, but there was no progress at all.
When the social event was about to end, Yao Na casually mentioned Xu Yuanyuan's postgraduate entrance examination to Director Wang.
Director Wang picked his teeth and nodded. He said, "Well … It's a good thing … I'll go back and find out the situation …"
Yao Na thanked Xu Yuanyuan profusely and even asked Xu Yuanyuan to come over and toast her to thank her.
In the end, Yao Na didn't mention this matter again until the end of the meal. Naturally, Director Wang and Division Chief Jiang wouldn't take the initiative to promise anything. Instead, they started to talk about dirty jokes as if no one else was around. They didn't care that there were still two ladies in the room.
Xu Yuanyuan felt that she couldn't hold on any longer. She couldn't wait to escape from here.
Finally, everyone got up and prepared to leave. Only then did Seo Yuanyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
A group of people walked down the stairs. The more Seo Yuanyuan thought about it, the more depressed she felt. She had spent so much money to treat the two leaders to a meal with a smile, but in the end, there was no result. It was just an understatement.
Xu Yuanyuan finally couldn't help but walk up to Director Wang and ask, "Director Wang, about my postgraduate entrance examination …"
Director Wang was stunned for a moment — because Yao Na didn't care about it and he had forgotten about it — then he said in an official tone, "Xiao Xu! Didn't I say it already? I will go and find out the situation about your matter. "
Then he changed the topic and said, "But don't get your hopes up. Since the unit has a rule on the working life, it's best to abide by it! Otherwise, if everyone wants to go to further their studies, who will work? Isn't the unit a mess? "
Xu Yuanyuan couldn't help but be stunned. She had treated him with good wine and good food. Not only had there been no progress in the postgraduate entrance examination, but she had also been criticized?
Yao Na quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Director Wang, Yuanyuan just graduated from school. She doesn't know anything yet. Please don't lower yourself to her level!"
Director Wang laughed and said, "Director Yao has spoken personally. How can I be angry? But young people are still a little too impatient. There's no harm in training in the unit for a few more years! "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Yao Na quickly agreed.
Then she pulled Xu Yuanyuan aside and said unhappily, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yuanyuan said, "Sister-in-law, Director Wang doesn't want to help at all! Just now in the private room, he kept beating around the bush. He didn't answer directly at all! "
"How do you want him to answer directly?" Yao Na said sarcastically, "You want him to pat his chest and promise to help you? Who do you think you are? Even the leader has to leave some leeway when speaking, do you understand? "
"I …" Xu Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment.
But she just didn't understand. Director Wang didn't have any sincerity at all. Why did Yao Na have a different interpretation?
Yao Na continued, "Yuanyuan, you keep asking Director Wang questions like this. How can he not be angry? It was about to be done. If it's not done now, then you have only yourself to blame! "
Xu Yuanyuan couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't know that Yao Na had actually begun to shirk responsibility.
In fact, Yao Na didn't support Xu Yuanyuan's postgraduate study at all. She thought that women should just stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. Especially when she heard that Zhuang Yan had to help Xu Yuanyuan take care of the elderly at home after Xu Yuanyuan went to study, she didn't support it even more.
So, Yao Na didn't mention anything about Xu Yuanyuan in the private room today. Instead, she was quite concerned about her husband, Zhuang Cheng, going to the provincial finance department for an exchange.
At this moment, a voice sounded, "Xu Yuanyuan, since your sister-in-law is having a bit of trouble, I'll help you say hello!"
The person who spoke was Xia Ruofei. He and Song Wei were sitting in the hotel lobby chatting because they were waiting for Xu Yuanyuan.
Xia Ruofei saw the scene just now, and he also heard everything that Yao Na said to Xu Yuanyuan.
Yao Na's expression changed slightly. She frowned and said, "Why is it you guys again?"
"We're paying to stay in the hotel. Is there a problem with that?" Xia Ruofei said lightly, "Is this Kempinski owned by your family? Even if it's owned by your family, are you going to drive your guests out? "
Yao Na snorted and said, "You really have a sharp tongue! I've never seen someone as shameless as you. You want to say hello? Do you know what Yuanyuan is going to do? You're going to take care of everything! "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Isn't it just the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Their movements also alarmed Bureau Chief Wang, Division Chief Jiang, and the others. They were about to leave the hotel, but they stopped when they heard Xia Ruofei's words.
Especially Bureau Chief Wang, there was a trace of displeasure on his face. Yao Na had asked him to do this. He had just said a lot of official words and said that the difficulty was very high. In the end, this young man had downplayed it. Wasn't this deliberately slapping him in the face?
Division Chief Jiang and Bureau Chief Wang turned around and walked over. Division Chief Jiang said, "Young man, the postgraduate entrance exam isn't a simple thing. The rules of every unit are different. Comrade Xu Yuanyuan's situation doesn't meet the requirements!"
As for Bureau Chief Wang, he glanced at Xia Ruofei. His face was a little dark, and his eyes were very cold.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! If she meets the requirements, she doesn't need to spend two months' salary to treat you two to a meal. "
Bureau Chief Wang snorted and said, "What do you mean? We're greedy for her meal? What a joke! "
Division Chief Jiang also frowned and asked, "Xiao Yao, who are these two people? They speak so irresponsibly. If this spreads, they'll really think that Bureau Chief Wang and I are here to cheat! "
Yao Na's face was almost pale. She had tried so hard to curry favor with Division Chief Jiang of the provincial department. If Division Chief Jiang had a grudge because of Xia Ruofei's first words, then their days in the city's finance bureau would be difficult.
Yao Na quickly said, "Division Chief Jiang, Bureau Chief Wang, these two are Yuanyuan's university classmates. They come from the countryside and don't know anything. Please don't lower yourself to their level!"
After that, Yao Na stared at Xia Ruofei and said coldly, "Apologize! Apologize to Division Chief Jiang and Bureau Chief Wang immediately! "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Apologize? I was talking to Xu Yuanyuan, and you rushed over. Now you want me to apologize? "
"You slandered two leaders!" Yao Na said, "Shouldn't you apologize?"
"What a joke!" Xia Ruofei sneered and said, "Did I slander them? Isn't it true that Xu Yuanyuan invited them to dinner? "
After that, Xia Ruofei said to Song Wei, "Let's go!"
Then he looked at Xu Yuanyuan and said, "You and Zhuang Yan come too! Don't worry, it won't affect your postgraduate entrance exam! "
Xu Yuanyuan's heart sank to the bottom. She knew that she had completely offended Bureau Chief Wang this time.
Not to mention that she didn't meet the requirements of the exam, even if she did, it would be impossible for the unit to approve her to take the exam.
Xu Yuanyuan thought to herself, I didn't expect that Weiwei's boyfriend, who looks gentle and weak, would speak so rudely.
However, she and Zhuang Yan were both kind people, and they knew that Xia Ruofei was speaking up for her. Even if the matter was ruined, they wouldn't blame Xia Ruofei.
Hearing Xia Ruofei say that there was no problem with the postgraduate entrance exam, Xu Yuanyuan smiled bitterly. She thought that Xia Ruofei was trying to save face.
When Yao Na saw that Xia Ruofei was about to leave, she was even angrier. She grabbed Xia Ruofei without caring about her image and said, "Don't try to run away without making things clear!"
Zhuang Yan's brother also looked cold and said, "I'll give you a chance. Bow down and apologize to the two leaders immediately! Don't forget that this is Tanzhou … "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing and said to Song Wei, "Is he threatening me?"
"Probably!" Song Wei said with a smile.
Song Wei couldn't help laughing when he thought of how Xia Ruofei, who had been drinking and chatting with the number one figure of Xiangnan at noon and was even Master Song's guest, had been threatened by a small cadre of Tanzhou's Finance Bureau.
Xia Ruofei looked at Zhuang Cheng calmly and said, "I advise you to let go of your wife immediately. I don't want to hit a woman!"
When Yao Na heard this, she tightened her grip and said, "Hit me? Why don't you try hitting me? Do you really think Tanzhou is your rural place? "
Minister Jiang saw that many people had looked over. As an official, he naturally paid attention to his personal image, so he couldn't help but frown.
Minister Jiang said, "That's enough! Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Yao, let him go! "
Director Wang also looked at Xia Ruofei coldly and said to Yao Na, "Since you know such a capable friend, I won't be a busybody …"
"That's right!" Director Wang said coldly, "Comrade Xiao Xu, remember to give me your account number. I will transfer the money to you, so that people won't say that I'm a scammer!"
After that, Division Chief Jiang and Chief Wang walked out.
Yao Na and Zhuang Cheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
This time, they had offended both of them. Moreover, it was obvious that the two leaders were blaming Zhuang Cheng and Yao Na as well.
Director Wang didn't care. After all, the Ministry of Culture wasn't a real power unit, and he couldn't control them.
But Minister Jiang was the deputy minister of the provincial department with real power! He was the leader of the superior unit that controlled the Finance Bureau!
Yao Na's face became very ugly. She looked at Xu Yuanyuan with hatred and said coldly, "Xu Yuanyuan, this is the result you want! In the future, Zhuang Cheng and I will have no future in the unit. Are you satisfied now? "
At this moment, Minister Jiang and Director Wang, who had already walked a few steps, stopped at the same time and looked straight at the door.
Following their gazes, an extraordinary middle-aged man was walking into the hotel lobby.
Xia Ruofei and Song Wei also saw this man and couldn't help but smile at each other.
The man was Cao Jin, Song Zhengping's secretary. Xia Ruofei was going to call him about Xu Yuanyuan. Although it was a bit overkill to ask the secretary of the provincial party committee to do such a trivial thing, there was no other way. Besides Song Zhengping, Secretary Cao was the only person Xia Ruofei knew in Xiangnan Province. He couldn't ask Song Zhengping to do it in person, could he?
Yao Na naturally noticed the abnormality of Minister Jiang and Director Wang. She couldn't help but look over. She felt that Cao Jin was a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember him at the moment.
Yao Na couldn't help but ask, "Zhuang Cheng, that man …"
Zhuang Cheng was also thinking hard. Suddenly, he trembled slightly and said, "Nana, that seems to be … Director Cao of the provincial party committee!"
"Director Cao?" Yao Na was stunned at first, then she immediately recognized the name and said, "Director Cao, Secretary Song's secretary?"
"It must be. Look, Minister Jiang and Director Wang have already gone over!" Zhuang Cheng said.
Division Chief Jiang and Director Wang almost trotted over to greet him. Seeing Cao Jin look in their direction and quicken his pace with a smile on his face, the two of them became even more excited.
It seems that Director Cao still remembers me! With that thought in mind, the two of them stretched out their hands from afar.
However, what they did not expect was that Cao Jin did not even look at them and directly walked past them. Their outstretched hands were suspended in mid-air, and their faces were filled with awkwardness.
At the same time, what made Minister Jiang and Director Wang a little confused was that they clearly saw the look on Cao Jin's face become very humble, and his footsteps were obviously faster than normal.
Did Director Cao meet a higher leader? Could it be that Secretary Song is also in the hotel?
