Yanlin's classmate
"Don't worry, no matter how cold it gets, I won't catch a cold." Han Dong said irritably, and couldn't help but tap her head with his hand.
"Oh no, don't hit my head." Yanlin pouted, covering her head with her pale hand and said in a soft voice: "Let's go, we agreed to meet at 6:30."
"Hehe, so delicate!" Han Dong smiled slightly, "Where are you gathering now? It's already past six o'clock."
"It's nothing, just at the front of Baiweiyuan, it took about 10 minutes to walk there."
"Let's go," said Han Dong, and he stepped forward.
Yan Lin was taken aback, then her lips curled up, and she quickly walked to the front of Han Dong, with both hands inserted into the pockets of her down jacket, walking while stomping her feet forcefully.
"What's wrong, is it very cold?"
Yan Lin turned back with a gentle smile, "It's not cold, I like walking this way."
"Mischievous little girl." Han Dong smiled and took two big strides forward.
In the cold air, Yanlin, dressed in pure white, with a pink scarf around her neck, jumped up and down from time to time, just like an adorable elf.
Walking along the street for a while, I soon arrived at Baiweiyuan. It was just time to eat, and Baiweiyuan was bustling with people coming and going, and business was quite good.
"Ling, Ling......" At the entrance of Baiwei Garden, a woman in a deep red down jacket was calling out in a soft voice, waving her hand.
"Meizi!" Yanlin's face showed a look of surprise, she quickly rushed over and hugged the woman tightly, then the two held hands, jumping and laughing together, chattering away.
Han Dong's mouth corners slightly curled up, girls are just so lively.
A man in a suit and leather shoes walked out from inside, saw the elf-like Yanlin, his eyes lit up, and quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face. "Yanlin, you're here! We've all been waiting for you."
Yan Lin smiled slightly, "Liao Xiaobing, you're getting more and more stylish."
Liao Xiaobing said: "Where? I think you are getting prettier and prettier."
At this time, another long-haired woman in a yellow down jacket came out. Several girls giggled and chatted for a while. Yanlin only then remembered Han Dong and hastily turned her head to say: "Dongge, come over here, let me introduce you, these are my high school good friends, Aimee, Zhang Xiaojia..."
"Hello, I'm Liao Xiaobing." Not waiting for Yanlin's introduction, Liao Xiaobing took a step forward and said, extending his hand.
"My name is Han Dong." Han Dong said lightly, he clearly saw a hint of severity flashing in Liao Xiaobing's eyes, and looked at Yanlin with confusion.
"Everyone go inside, it's really cold outside." Yanlin seemed afraid to make eye contact with Handong, and said while holding Aimee's arm.
Han Dong suddenly understood, and glared at Yan Lin. He didn't want to play this kind of game with these kids. Although Han Dong was only three or four years older than Yan Lin, his mindset was different. He always felt that she had a homely air about her.
Ai Mei and Zhang Xiao Jia also looked puzzled, the two of them one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Yan Lin in between, whispering to each other as they walked towards the inner private room.
Han Dong let out a sigh, since he had come all this way, he might as well make himself at home and try to recapture the feeling of his youth.
Liao Xiaobing walked beside Han Dong, wearing a suit and tie, his chest out, his eyes flashing with resentment as he glanced at Han Dong.
Inside the box, there were two more men, also Yanlin's high school classmates. The two wore relatively simple clothes and looked like students at first glance. The slightly chubby man with a pale face was called Zhao Cai Zhong, and the thin and dark one was Wu Ya Wei. When they saw Han Dong, a hint of doubt flashed across their faces, and then returned to normal.
"Everyone is here, let's serve the dishes." Liao Xiaobing has now recovered his smile and instructed the waiter outside the door to serve the food.
Han Dong sat beside Yan Lin with a faint smile on his face. Now that her classmates were present, he wouldn't bother arguing with her for the time being and would settle accounts later.
Yan Lin's face was flushed with a layer of pink, and she chattered on with Amy beside her, as if there were endless things to talk about.
Zhao Caiwen smiled and asked: "Dong Ge, are you also from Xichuan University?"
Han Dong shook his head and said: "I'm not reading books now."
"Really? Then where is Han Dong making his fortune now?" Liao Xiaobing adjusted his suit and asked lightly.
Han Dong glanced at him and said: "I'm temporarily working in the county government office."
Ai Mei immediately exclaimed: "Government affairs, can't see that Dong Ge is still an official."
Others also looked at Han Dong with some unexpected surprise and admiration.
People who grow up in small towns have a deep-seated admiration for government officials.
Liao Xiaobing, however, was invigorated and said with a smile: "The government office is a great place, I'm quite familiar with Director Wang, when should we have dinner together?"
There was a happy smile on his face as he talked about Director Wang, and he seemed very casual, as if the two had a very close relationship.
Han Dong said calmly, "I'm not very familiar with Deputy Director Wang."
Liao Xiaobing, however, seemed very enthusiastic, "No big deal, I can introduce you if we're not familiar. You work in the government office, so you should be under Director Wang's management, right? Building a good relationship with him will help you make progress in the future."
Zhao Cai said with a smile: "Yes, with Xiao Bing's introduction, Dong Ge will definitely be promoted quickly."
Han Dong was very clear about Liao Xiaobing's meaning, but he didn't bother to play along with him. "We'll talk another time," he said. "Besides, I don't report to Deputy Director Wang anyway."
Liao Xiaobing shook his head and continued: "When I asked Director Lu to come out and have dinner together, he and I were also very familiar."
"Never mind, I don't have much of a relationship with Director Lu anyway." It seems that this kid's family has some connections, but Han Dong just happens to not get along with the people from the county government. If it weren't for giving face to Yanlin, he wouldn't even bother saying more.
He is now nominally an employee of the Statistics Bureau, but he spends his whole day in the government office, so it can also be said that he goes to work in the government office, but is not managed by the government office. Besides, under the current situation, which deputy director of the government office has nothing better to do than to come and manage him?
So what Han Dong said is indeed true.
But in Liao Xiaobing's opinion, this guy must be bragging. Since he works in a government office, how is it possible that he doesn't report to the deputy director and has no relationship with the director? Is he trying to cheat kids or something? Does he really think others don't understand anything?
"Haha, looks like you're doing pretty well, Han Dong, neither the director nor the deputy director can control you."
Liao Xiaobing laughed loudly, and the meaning of his words was to expose Han Dong's lie.
Others who heard it also looked at Han Dong with suspicion, what on earth was this guy doing, how come whatever he said didn't add up?
Yan Lin's face turned red, she thought Han Dong was doing this on purpose because she hadn't explained things clearly to him before, thinking that he was really petty.
Han Dong's mouth corner brought a hint of smile, slowly said: "Hmm, I reckon won't be able to stay in the government office for much longer."
"Ah......" The crowd was stunned and let out a cry of surprise.
Liao Xiaobing's heart skipped a beat as he leaned forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong, did something happen?"
Thank you for rewarding, evaluating, collecting and recommending this book, you are good people.
