In the evening, Xia Xiangyang, who had social events, came back a little late. When he got off the bus, he still had a strong smell of wine and smoke.

There is no way to do this. Although he is the mayor of Hecheng, his title of mayor is not that useful when he arrives in the provincial capital! Of course, this is also related to Hecheng's economic and political status in Guangdong Province. If he wants to change to a second-tier city like Buddha City or Guancheng, he will not be so dedicated.

At the dinner just now, he invited several leaders from the province to drink for the approval of some Hecheng infrastructure projects. Others could stop drinking, but he had to be bored with a lot. Fortunately, he had developed a bottomless amount of alcohol in the army, so he was not knocked down.

Meng Jun knew how much his boss had drunk tonight. As soon as the car was parked, he got off the car first, opened the door for Xia Xiangyang, and prepared to help him.

"No, I'm fine." Xia Xiangyang had just had tea and smoked, and had chatted for an hour. In addition, when he came back just now, he opened the car window and blew the night wind in Yangcheng. In fact, the wine had almost woken up. He stood steadily on the ground and waved his hand, "Xiao Meng, you and Lao Du go back and rest!"

"Boss, I'll take you upstairs first?" Meng Jun said worriedly.

Xia Xiangyang frowned and said in a commanding tone: "Just just a few steps downstairs, there is an elevator to take it. Can't I still walk? And I'm not drunk either, so what should I worry about? You and Lao Du go back to the hotel, don't be too silly!"

Meng Jun smiled bitterly, and he also knew that his boss was different from other high-ranking officials - Comrade Lao Xia didn't like others to serve others in front of each other, and what he valued more was a person's ability and attitude to do things.

Like Meng Jun used to be like this, his articles were well written, but they were a little inflexible enough. He wrote articles silently in the municipal government office. He was not the turn of any good things. It can be said that he was not satisfied with talent. But Xia Xiangyang still fell in love with him (the article he wrote). After He Jiawei was arranged to go out, Xia Xiangyang called Meng Jun and asked him over.

Just when Meng Jun was a little at a loss, he caught a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes!

"Yang Yan!" Meng Jun waved happily when he saw Yang Yan. When he was in the car, Meng Jun sent a text message to Yang Yan, telling him that Xia Xiangyang had drunk a lot of wine and asked him to cook some sobering soup for Xia Xiangyang to prepare, but Meng Jun did not expect that Yang Yan would come out so conspicuously to wait for them.

With Yang Yan here, Meng Jun felt relieved, and he didn't have to bear Xia Xiangyang's request to help him in.

Of course, Xia Xiangyang doesn’t want Yang Yan’s support! Not to mention that he is not drunk enough to walk now, even if his feet are really weak, he will straighten his back and walk back with all his might! This is related to his dignity as his father-in-law!

Comrade Lao Xia glanced at Yang Yan who took his briefcase from Meng Jun, and nodded expressionlessly, responding to Yang Yan's greeting.

"Go back!" Xia Xiangyang said to Meng Jun and the driver Uncle Du, and then walked into the community slowly with steady steps.

Yang Yan originally wanted to go over to help him, but when he saw his father-in-law's serious expression, he hesitated for a moment and dared to follow him with his teeth.

"What time is it?" Just as Yang Yan was trying hard to say something to break the silence between the two, Xia Xiangyang suddenly asked.

"It's almost eleven!" Yang Yan replied quickly, and he took the opportunity to chat, "Luoluo wanted to wait for you to come back at first! She kept asking, Where is Waidong? Why haven't Waidong come back yet?"

In order to learn to be more like, Yang Yan also imitated the pronunciation of Luoluo's tongue.

"Is she sleeping now?" Xia Xiangyang asked with concern when he heard Luo Luo.

"Sleep, sleep. Later, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes and fell asleep on the sofa." Yang Yan smiled, but looking at his father-in-law, he didn't laugh out loud, and could only scratch his head awkwardly.

"..." However, after saying this, Yang Yan and Xia Xiangyang fell into silence again. They continued to bury their heads and walked forward, bypassing the flower bed, and walking through the brick and stone path with dim lights covered by leaves. The atmosphere was a bit wonderful.

However, before going upstairs, Xia Xiangyang stopped. He smelled it, took off his suit jacket, and handed it to Yang Yan: "Is the smoke smell heavy?"

"Well, it's quite heavy!" Yang Yan lit it honestly, and he didn't have to come close to smell it. The smell of smoke on his father-in-law's body made him want to frown.

I don't know how much cigarettes I smoked!

"Sit up and go up and have a breeze." Xia Xiangyang walked to the rest chair in the large open space outside the building, sat down, and said without any comment.

The father-in-law was sitting there with a big golden sword, and his sharp eyes fell on him. Yang Yan felt uncomfortable when he stood there. He didn't dare to say anything. He walked over quickly and sat down carefully next to his father-in-law - of course, he only dared to sit half his butt.

Xia Xiangyang had no intention of judging Yang Yan, and he knew nothing!

After sitting like this for a while, Xia Xiangyang spoke first: "Yang Yan, do you smoke?"

"Ah? No, I can't smoke." Yang Yan thought his father-in-law wanted to share his cigarette smoking, so he quickly raised his hand and shook it, saying, "If you want to smoke, it's okay."

"It's a good thing not to smoke! I don't want to smoke either. Your Aunt Wu also reminds me every day not to smoke and be careful of lung cancer." Xia Xiangyang shook his head and said slowly, "But sometimes it's not that you can't smoke if you don't want to smoke. Maybe you are the boss and can't understand what I said..."

At this time, Xia Xiangyang actually felt a little drunk and started talking.

"Uncle Xia, I can understand. You need to take other people's cigarettes for work. These are the prices you have paid for the development of our Hecheng." Yang Yan said hurriedly.

"Don't say that I am so noble, people are always inseparable from the word "vulgar." Xia Xiangyang waved his hand and raised his voice halfway. "The body cannot help himself... is just an excuse for those who pursue fame and fortune, and the body is by himself... is the ability of those who are firm in their will!"

Although Xia Xiangyang was taking advantage of the topic and sighing with emotion, Yang Yan was still a little surprised. He seemed to hear from his father-in-law that he was complimenting himself in a circle!

Really?

This is true. Putting aside the unresolved knot of this kid who "killed" his daughter, Xia Xiangyang really admires Yang Yan very much, and also likes Yang Yan, a child who is capable and unpretentious and can do big things! He doesn't say it normally, but with the help of alcohol, he still can't help expressing some...

"Uncle Xia, I want to confess something to you!" After hearing the praise from my father-in-law, Yang Yan finally couldn't help it. He said, "I know that I did something wrong, which may make you very angry, but I am willing to take all the responsibilities!"

What?

Any questions?
