Evening.
It's past 7 pm.
The sky is dark, and the streets are bright.
Dong Xuebing and Hou Wen had drunk a lot. After dinner, they walked down the streets singing loudly, attracting the attention of the passersby. But Dong Xuebing and Hou Wen did not mind. Their hostel often had this activity when they were in university. After drinking, they will go to the roadside and sing and dance. This had become their tradition. After singing, Dong Xuebing and Hou Wen felt like they had returned to their university days. After singing a song, they looked at each other and laughed.
"I had a good time today!" Hou Wen said.
Dong Xuebing replied. "That's right. I had a good time!"
Hou Wen sighed. "I wonder how those two bastards from our hostel are doing."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I miss them, but I can't contact them. Like you, I had changed my phone number."
Hou Wen said, "I was at my wit's end. How could I use a Beijing number in Jiangnan Province? Any number I called was a long-distance call. It was expensive. Before I changed my phone number, I tried calling your family many times, but no one picked up. I also tried calling those two people, but they couldn't get through."
"In that case, the two of them might not be in the capital either?"
"I don't know. I will ask around and find out where they are." "Ok.
"Alright, I'll ask when the time comes. The four of us will definitely get together."
"That's right. We are good friends, and we cannot part ways like this. We must have a reunion."
"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go back to the hotel first. What are we going to do tonight?"
"I don't mind. Anyway, we are here for a holiday, and we can go anywhere."
The Royal Hotel is in front, and there are many cars entering and exiting the hotel. Although Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan had drunk a lot, they were not drunk. Dong Xuebing saw Xie Huilan standing at the entrance of the reception hall and saw many people around her. They should be the leaders and their family members from Jiangnan Province. Dong Xuebing also saw a leader from Xia City. He is the Deputy Mayor.
"Is your wife there?" Hou Wen points.
"I saw her, but I don't know." Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Huilan and entered the revolving door. He greeted her. "Huilan."
He drank too much, so his voice was a little loud.
Many people turned to look at Dong Xuebing, but no one knows who he is. Huilan? His name is Secretary Xie.
Xie Huilan laughed. "Finished?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I had just finished eating. What's wrong?"
"We have nothing to do in the hotel, and we are discussing going out for a walk. But we have not decided on the location. Haha … you should come along." Xie Huilan replied.
"I don't mind." Dong Xuebing looks at Hou Wen. "What's wrong?"
Hou Wen laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "I will go with you. It's rare to meet you, and I still want to chat with your wife." After saying that, Hou Wen extended his hand to Xie Huilan. "Sister Xie, we still have not officially met. My name is Hou Wen. You can call me Xiao Wen or Monkey."
Xie Huilan looks at Hou Wen from the corner of her eyes and shook his hand. "I will call you Sister Xie like Xuebing. You don't need to call me Sister Xie. Just call me Huilan."
"Ok." Hou Wen is no longer as reserved as when he met Xie Huilan in the morning.
Many leaders from Jiangnan Province knew Hou Wen is Mayor Hou's son, but they had never met Dong Xuebing before. When they heard Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing's conversation, they were shocked. They realized Dong Xuebing is Party Secretary Xie's husband, the leader from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Everyone was shocked by Dong Xuebing's looks. Dong Xuebing is very different from their impression of him, and his age is very different.
"Oh, Mr. Dong."
"Director Dong, nice to meet you."
"Haha … nice to meet you, Director Dong."
Some leaders walked over to greet Dong Xuebing.
Xie Huilan smiled and introduced them to each other.
There are some Deputy Mayors, Party Secretaries, and some department heads in Jiangnan Province. Dong Xuebing smiled and shook their hands. If it were other leaders or ordinary family members, there might not be a need to greet them this way. After all, many people are waiting to go shopping. But Dong Xuebing is different, and everyone must treat him with respect.
"Director Dong, when did you arrive?"
"I arrived in the afternoon. Both of you will be flying later."
"Oh, we still have not decided where to go. What do you think?"
"Let's all decide. I also don't know. This is my first time here."
Only a quarter of the leaders and their family members were gathered here. Hou Fu and Hou Mu were not present. This time, everyone was not from the same city, and there was no one to lead the team. Although everyone's wishes were similar, they were all prepared to go out in groups at night. After all, it was inconvenient for one or two people to be unfamiliar with the place, and they did not know where to go. There was no consensus. The main reason was that there was no one who could speak. But with Dong Xuebing's arrival, the atmosphere is different. The only person who can suppress everyone here is Dong Xuebing. If he decides where to go, most of them will not object. But Dong Xuebing does not want to make the decision. He had come with them as Xie Huilan's husband and is not here to show off his authority.
Everyone can only continue to discuss.
"Shall we go to the Fort?"
"I think we should go to the Church."
"There are a few palace buildings on our way here, but we did not take a closer look."
"Old Wang, how much do you like palace buildings? Last year, when you went to Beijing for a business trip, you brought us to the Forbidden City for two days."
"Haha … I want to see a place's culture and understand a city. We must visit the old buildings."
As they chatted, some of them did not want to follow them and wanted to go out on their own. They left in groups of twos and threes. Maybe they are tired of waiting, or maybe they do not want a leader from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to look at them while they are shopping.
Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan did not join them, and the rest of the leaders are chatting casually. To them, it doesn't matter where they are going.
In the end, they decided on their destination.
Dong Xuebing is surprised by this place. Portuguese Casino.
But it was also expected. How could he not visit the famous casino when he came to Macau? Even if they do not want to go, Dong Xuebing wants to visit the casinos himself. Of course, all of them are government officials and will not gamble.
