Powerful and romantic

For Xu Junran, he has seen too many people, and people in the officialdom are best at disguising themselves. ..This is undoubted, not everyone likes it, but if you are not good at hiding your true emotions in the officialdom, it is easy to be taken advantage of by others.

However, it was the first time that Xu Junran saw Duan Wenxuan's persistence from a person who had no ambitions.

Sometimes people will change their principles because of some things. Living in this world, facing all kinds of temptations, or facing many irresistible oppressions, some people may change themselves, but some still choose to persist.

Obviously, Duan Wenxuan is such a person.

"Secretary Qian can't be so small-minded, right?" Xu Junran frowned and said with a glance at Qian Dongming.He thought it was unlikely, after all, Qian Yunlu's identity was quite different from that of Duan Wenxuan and his wife, even if there were any grievances back then, they wouldn't still remember them now.

"Hehe, he doesn't remember, but someone remembers. The most indispensable thing these days is villains!"

Qian Dongming snorted, and spoke to Xu Junran.

Xu Junran immediately understood that this matter was probably made by someone trying to please Qian Yunlu in order to please Qian Yunlu.As for the following matters, no matter who took office, once they heard that Duan Wenxuan and his wife had such a thing with Secretary Qian, a fool would take the risk of offending the leader and promote Duan Wenxuan. "Old Duan, I didn't expect you to be a hot-blooded young man back then." Qian Dongming walked in front, Xu Junran deliberately lagged behind a few steps, and said to Duan Wenxuan with a smile.

Duan Wenxuan blushed: "Don't tease me. I was ignorant at that time, and I didn't think about the consequences when I did things. Alas, when I think about it now, I really regret it."

"What's going on?" Xu Junran asked curiously.

Duan Wenxuan smiled wryly.Tell the whole story.

Back then, Duan Wenxuan had just graduated from college, and he and Hong Ying were newlyweds, so they were proud of being in the Municipal Party Committee Office.At that time, there were many college students who had just been assigned to the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee Office.Among them was a girl who was so beautiful that Qian Ning, who was also working in the Municipal Committee Office at the time, took a fancy to her.Qian Ning pursued him for a long time, but the little girl had a boyfriend and rejected Qian Ning.One day, when Qian Ning drank too much, he used violence against others. Duan Wenxuan happened to see him, and in a moment of anger, he beat Qian Ning.

It's fine if it's just a fight.The key point is that Duan Wenxuan missed a moment, leaving a scar on Qian Ning's face.It also caused him to be reduced to where he is today.

"I can't blame you for this matter." Xu Junran said calmly after listening.He didn't take this matter seriously, to that guy named Channing.More contempt.When was it ten years ago, when a girl couldn't catch up with him, he used force. Not to mention being disfigured, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to break his leg. "I was too aggressive back then." Duan Wenxuan sighed and said in a low voice.After so many years of hard life, it would be a lie to say that he has no regrets.But when he thought about the situation at that time, Duan Wenxuan told himself that although he acted harshly, there was nothing wrong with what he did.

The two were talking, when Qian Dongming in front stopped and said to Duan Wenxuan, "Many old leaders and friends are here today, so don't talk nonsense."

With that said, the three of them walked into the banquet hall together.

Walking into the banquet hall, Xu Junran saw a huge birthday character appearing in front of his eyes. There were about a dozen tables of guests. It seemed that the old lady of the Hong family was indeed very popular.

"Wen Xuan, why did you come here?"

At this time, a woman in her thirties walked up to Xu Junran and Duan Wenxuan, glared at Duan Wenxuan, and said to him.

Xu Junran was taken aback, before Qian Dongming had time to speak, he said, "Xiaoying, I brought him here, brother-in-law has something else to do, so go over first, and talk to your uncle. If you want me to tell you, he might as well Forget about resigning and going to sea, with me here, can I make him lose a bite of food?"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Duan Wenxuan and his wife's flushed faces, they went straight to a table of guests. It was obvious that the other party was someone he knew, so they naturally wanted to socialize.

"Hong Ying, I have something to tell you."

Duan Wenxuan took a deep breath and said to his wife.

Hong Ying glanced at Xu Junran, and it was quite strange to look at it, but she still said to her husband: "I know what you mean, the eldest brother-in-law is also doing it for our own good, and there is no evil intention. My mother has asked you several times, and this will pass Bar."

Duan Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, but did not move, but solemnly said to Hong Ying: "Yingzi, this is me..."

Before he finished speaking, someone not far away was calling his name to let him go. Hong Ying smiled: "I know, it's your colleague, right? My brother-in-law said it just now. In this way, you talk to me first." Our mother went over to say hello, and I will arrange for him in a while."

Seeing that Xu Junran was not as old as Duan Wenxuan, she thought that Duan Wenxuan had brought a colleague from the Municipal Party Committee over, that's why she said that.

Duan Wenxuan wanted to say something else, but Xu Junran smiled slightly and called out sweetly to Hong Ying: "Sister-in-law, I will trouble you then."

As soon as these words were uttered, Duan Wenxuan had no chance to say anything else, and was directly dragged by Hong Ying to the place where his mother-in-law was.

Xu Junran smiled, carrying the fruit basket in his hand, and just followed behind the two of them.

"Mom, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

Hong Ying walked to a table with Duan Wenxuan, and said to the gray-haired old woman sitting at the head.

Seeing her little daughter, the old woman nodded with a smile on her face, but when she looked up and saw Duan Wenxuan, she couldn't help snorting: "You're here."

It can be seen that she doesn't like this son-in-law very much, but because there are so many guests today and it's her birthday, she can't say much.

"Mom, the unit has some work today, otherwise I would have come here long ago." Duan Wenxuan said to his mother-in-law with a smile.Although the old lady has a lot of dissatisfaction with herself, Duan Wenxuan can also understand the old man. After all, her youngest daughter is her heart and soul. After finally marrying herself, she ended up in the current situation. will be comfortable.Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, if it were me, I would not be happy either.

"Okay, I see that you are busy every day, and you don't know where you get so much work." The old lady was still a little soft-hearted, and for the sake of her daughter, she didn't say anything.

"This is?"

At this time, someone saw Xu Junran's figure and couldn't help asking.

Duan Wenxuan hurriedly and solemnly introduced to his mother-in-law: "This is my, uh, colleague, yes, colleague in the municipal committee. My surname is Xu. I heard that you celebrated your birthday today, so I came here specially to see it."

Since Xu Junran didn't intend to reveal his identity, he certainly wouldn't deliberately say it in front of these people. Although Duan Wenxuan was eager to tell everyone that he was no longer the one who was sitting on the bench, he knew very well that everything about him It all depends on Xu Junran's thoughts. Since Secretary Xu doesn't want to say it, he has to hold back.

At this time, Xu Junran stepped forward and said to the old woman with a smile: "Hello, Auntie, this is my heartfelt wish. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan."

With that said, Xu Junran took out the fruit basket he bought.

A fruit basket?

Everyone was stunned. Even if friends who couldn't be on the stage were to celebrate their birthdays, they either gave things or cakes, and this was the first time someone gave a fruit basket.

At this time, a man with glasses helped his frame, glanced at Duan Wenxuan and said, "I said Xiao Duan, what's the matter with your friend? I don't know that my mother is not in good health. This kind of cold fruit can't Do you want to eat more?"

Duan Wenxuan was stunned, Hong Ying had already smoothed things over and said: "Second brother-in-law, Xiao Xu doesn't know, don't mind, don't mind."

"Who is it? Send me a fruit basket for your birthday."

"Isn't it? You're really stingy."

"It's still run by the municipal committee."

"Same as the one with the surname Duan, he probably has no future."

A few low-pitched comments that obviously didn't care about Duan Wenxuan's husband and wife's face issue passed into Xu Junran's ears vaguely.It seems that among these relatives of the Hong family, he really has no status at all, otherwise these people would not be so shameless.

"Okay, Duan, take your friend and sit next to me."

The old man coughed, and seemed unwilling to let his youngest daughter and son-in-law embarrass themselves here, so he waved his hand and said to Hong Ying.

Hong Ying's eyes were reddish, she nodded and led Xu Junran and her husband to the side. It was obvious that she had experienced such things too many times over the years.

"Xiaoying, I'm sorry." Duan Wenxuan sat down and said to his wife with an apologetic expression.

Hong Ying squeezed out a smile: "Forget it, needless to say, we have been here for so many years, there is nothing we can't bear."

She is an open-minded woman. Although she has suffered a lot with Duan Wenxuan for so many years, Hong Ying has never blamed her husband. She feels that her husband has done nothing wrong.

Xu Junran nodded secretly in his heart, no wonder Duan Wenxuan respected his wife so much for such a woman.

Looking at Xu Junran, Hong Ying smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, it's embarrassing for you to follow us."

Duan Wenxuan was even more helpless at this time, his wife actually called Xiao Xu endlessly, although this young man was definitely not someone he could call Xiao Xu.

Xu Junran smiled slightly, waved his hands, and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, you are worrying too much. I don't think this is a shameful thing. Lao Duan is a good person, and good people will be rewarded.")
