Looking at Zhong Xiaoli and Hu Yaping next to him, Ye Zhiran ate this banquet very boring. If he had been a few years younger, or had not been tempered by the officialdom over the years, he would have scolded Zhong Xiaoli long ago.

Although Zhong Xiaoli spoke softly with Hu Yaping, she kept observing Ye Zhiran with the light of her eyes. Although she was young, she had rich experience and could know what Ye Zhiran would think of her from her feelings. Therefore, she always paid attention to Ye Zhiran's movements carefully. She and Hu Yaping whispered for a while, and turned around and smiled at Ye Zhiran, saying, "Brother Ye, you are the leader and my fellow countryman. You can see him without looking up. You should take care of me more."

Ye Zhiran asked with a smile: "How do you want me to take care of you?"

Zhong Xiaoli smiled and said, "I am young and savvy. If you do something inappropriate, you must be more generous as a brother."

Hu Yaping asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Have you offended Mr. Ye?"

Zhong Xiaoli immediately replied: "Yes, I met Brother Ye in Jinshan the day before yesterday. I didn't know his identity and laughed at him unreasonably."

He turned his head and pretended to be pitiful and said to Ye Zhiran: "Brother Ye, you don't remember the villain's mistakes."

Hu Yaping snatched in front of Ye Zhiran and replied: "How come Ye Chang cares about this little thing? You are looking at people through the crack in the door."

Ye Zhiran and Zhong Xiaoli looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Ye Zhiran said, "Zhong Xiaoli, do you see it? Hu Ke and I are very loyal and cannot bully him. If I know about it, I will not agree."

Zhong Xiaoli was so clear at a glance that she hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, don't worry, Hu Yaping is my sun, I will only revolve around him from now on."

Hu Yaping's face indeed showed a bright smile like the sun, and he looked at Zhong Xiaoli with gentle eyes. Even the fool could tell that he was in love without hesitation.

At this moment, Ye Zhiran could only forget the other side of Zhong Xiaoli. The men and women in love were both mentally retarded, crazy, and paranoid, not to mention that people in the officialdom valued face, how could he expose Zhong Xiaoli's face in this situation?

At this time, a burst of applause attracted the attention of the three of them to the stage. It turned out that Qin Daming began to give a testimony to the newlyweds in a slight manner. Zhu Yuli, wearing a white wedding dress, stood beside Zhang Qiang, who was wearing a suit and tie, combining charm and purity, attracting the attention of many men and women in the audience.

Hu Yaping couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhu Yuli is so beautiful in her wedding dress."

Zhong Xiaoli smiled and said, "Which bride did you see is not beautiful?" Hu Yaping was speechless when asked. Zhong Xiaoli smiled and answered herself: "Because this wedding dress can not only cover up the defects of her figure, but also highlight the bride's temperament and beauty."

Zhong Xiaoli showed her insight and continued: "The popular wedding dress is actually only two hundred years old. The white gauze dress worn by the bride on the floor was originally a Catholic ceremonial dress. Since some ancient European countries were a state of unity of politics and religion, people had to go to the church to receive prayers and blessings from priests or pastors when they got married, so that they could be considered a formal and legal marriage. Therefore, the bride wore a white ceremonial dress to express sincerity and purity to God."

Hu Yaping listened to his girlfriend's talk, smiled and turned to look at Ye Zhiran, as if he was amazed.

Zhong Xiaoli continued: "The first time she wore a popular wedding dress in this style is Queen Victoria. At that time, her white and noble wedding dress shocked everyone, and since then, this white wedding dress has become a must-wear dress for thousands of brides to get married."

Hu Yaping couldn't help but exclaim again: "Xiaoli is really knowledgeable. I think the most beautiful time for girls is the moment they wear wedding dress, whether it is a white wedding dress or a pink wedding dress."

Zhong Xiaoli glanced at him in a charming manner and said softly: "Since Queen Victoria got married, white wedding dress has become a formal wedding dress. Nowadays, many people do not understand the origin of the wedding dress, and they are unique and make the bride's wedding dress into pink or light blue colors, which is unique. In fact, according to Western customs, only women who remarry their wedding dress can use pink or lake blue colors to show the difference from their first marriage."

Hu Yaping said in surprise, "Oh" and said, "It turns out that a wedding dress has these specialties." After that, he looked at Zhong Xiaoli with great intention.

When Ye Zhiran saw Zhong Xiaoli obeying Hu Yaping in a few words, he sighed in her great ability. He let go of Hu Yaping and looked around. When his eyes turned to the third table on the left, he found that Liu Zhongyuan, who was also selected by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and entered the list of ten people, also came, so he walked over with a glass of wine to toast him.

"Liu Zhongyuan, we haven't met for a long time. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

"Ye Zhiran?" Liu Zhongyuan shouted happily: "I said to Zhu Yuli before, I want to see you. Zhu Yuli said that you have become the head of the village chief, congratulations."

The two shook hands, and Ye Zhiran said, "You are not bad either. You will make progress in less than a year." Liu Zhongyuan is the secretary of the deputy county magistrate of Hengshan County. Generally speaking, the secretary will be promoted to the next level after two or three years.

"Where is it? I will be behind when I compare with you." Liu Zhongyuan said with a smile: "I heard Zhu Yuli say a while ago that you are interested in organizing a party of ten people, and I agree. How about it? Let's make up for it later and start the action separately?"

"Okay." Ye Zhiran said appreciatively: "It is a good thing that ten of us have been separated for more than two years."

The ten people participating in the open recruitment exam are all reserve cadres selected by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and they should have good development prospects in Jianan. While everyone has not yet reached a high level, contacting and contacting relationships is definitely a emotional investment with small costs and big profits. Everyone will be happy.

"I have the same intention." Liu Zhongyuan is tall, tall, tall, and generous. He is an extroverted person. He only said a few words to Ye Zhiran, just like a brother who has not seen him for a long time, getting close to him. Ye Zhiran couldn't help but admire that the leaders in charge of the recruitment of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department really looked like a gaze, and they were all talented.

"Then that's it, let's call again." After saying the matter, Ye Zhiran and him had another glass. When he returned to his seat, he found that Qin Daming had returned to his table, turned back to him and toasted him.

"Leader is the leader, it's different! Director Qin's speech just now, applause is thundering! Xiao Ye wishes you a cup."

Qin Daming grinned happily and said, "Xiao Ye, I drank Zhu Yuli's wedding banquet today and witnessed Hu Yaping's beauty. Are you very thoughtful?" This is a joke, and it is said kindly and naturally.

Ye Zhiran discovered that after Qin Daming became a member of the county standing committee, he seemed much younger.

For him, the township leaders who were at the same level as him have now become his subordinates, and he is very satisfied with this earth-shaking change. Although he tried to be as humble as before in front of them, the officialdom was the place where hierarchy and order was the most important. He could do this, but it did not mean that others could do this too. When the township leaders saw him, they had a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts. That kind of awe for power was almost the instinct of officials and it was difficult to control. Among these people, Ye Zhiran basically maintained his previous attitude.

"Marriage is just a little pass, and even a man will envy you. It seems that I should work hard." Ye Zhiran said frankly.

Qin Daming nodded, touched the cup, and when Ye Zhiran turned around and left, he couldn't help asking again: "How is the job in Mashi Township? No change, right?"

Ye Zhiran understood what he meant by "change" and smiled and said, "It's impossible to do things according to the old rules you set."

Qin Daming nodded in admiration. His only hidden worries were the hospitality fee of the township finance office. Hearing what Ye Zhiran said so naturally and easily, he knew that things were in control and felt very satisfied.

After the bride and groom gave a round of wine, the banquet was coming to an end. Zhong Xiaoli took the time to say to Ye Zhiran: "Where is Brother Ye living? I'll visit you once in the past two days. In Changjia, you have the friendship of a landlord."

Ye Zhiran understood why she wanted to come to see him, but she just hoped that he would keep her secret. He thought to himself: Since she attaches so much importance to her image in front of Secretary Hu, maybe this time she really treats Hu Yaping as a favorite dish. He refused: "I'm very busy these days and have no time. As long as you remember what you said just now, everything will be perfect."

Zhong Xiaoli said shyly: "Thank you, I'm serious this time." The words I said to Ye Zhiran on the day of blind date came into my mind, and I couldn't help but blush. But a hint of anger appeared at Ye Zhiran in my heart. If I had known that he was doing well in Changjia, how could he have the embarrassing situation today?

"I'm listening to his words and observing his actions." Ye Zhiran saw that the redness of her ears was red. He knew her regret and felt a little funny: If I had known this day, why would it be the first time?

Hu Yaping was like a cat guarding its cub, paying great attention to Zhong Xiaoli's movements. Seeing that the two looked different, he leaned closer to him and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Seeing his nervous look, Ye Zhiran couldn't help but quip: "Which is talking about you, Comrade Zhong Xiaoli has a lot of ideas."

Hu Yaping believed it and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoli?" After asking, he looked at her face carefully.

Zhong Xiaoli looked at him with a little unnatural feeling and said angrily: "I'm asking about your private matters. Brother Ye told me that you have many friends."

Hu Yaping was excited and said, "I am unfair. I am surrounding the leader every day, so how can I have time to make friends?"

Ye Zhiran patted his shoulder and said, "Hu Ke is abnormal? Zhong Xiaoli said you have made many friends, so how could we have no friends? She didn't say you have a girlfriend."

Hu Yaping scratched his head and said, "Oh? Do you see if I have the amount today? I'm a little confused."

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "It's not that I've drunk enough, but that my heart was captured by Zhong Xiaoli." When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Nian Yue. He should call her and ask about her situation in the provincial capital. When he thought of calling, he remembered that Huang Yuwen seemed to owe her a call.

Zhong Xiaoli looked at Ye Zhiran with a blushing face and said, "Brother Ye, don't make fun of us." After that, she walked to Hu Yaping and gently supported his arm.
