With Hao Desheng's careful arrangement, Zhang Xueru and his wife, Deputy Mayor Wang and his wife, the parents of the prospective groom and the bride-to-be, were confirmed to have officially met.

Because it is the first meeting between the in-laws and mother-in-law, according to folk customs, dinner parties must be arranged!

So, Hao Desheng arranged a private dinner for the in-laws meeting, which was scheduled to be at exactly 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.

The meeting location was arranged at the Zhangjiang Hotel in the provincial capital.

Zhangjiang Hotel is a signboard for business outside; internally, it is actually a guesthouse for the municipal government, a place for food and accommodation specially used by the municipal government to receive guests from the government.

Generally speaking, the guests who come here to eat are of relatively high quality.

Most of the guests are cadres of government agencies, leaders of state-owned enterprises and institutions, and those who come to the provincial capital to handle important things, discuss big business, and have big money at home and abroad.

In this hotel, the various people in society usually cannot enter.

The reason why Hao Desheng arranged for Wang and Zhang's parents to meet here was carefully considered.

First, the central government is now working hard to build the party style and clean government, and party members and cadres are not allowed to go to high-end hotels or hotels outside to spend. If the parents of Wang and Zhang are arranged to meet outside, if they are seen, or even taken photos or recorded photos, it will cause a big disaster!

Secondly, this is an internal guesthouse of the municipal government. The price of dishes will not be too expensive for any banquet arranged by the municipal government; and this is a subordinate unit directly under Hao Desheng, so the service quality is absolutely guaranteed.

Third, as mentioned earlier, the guests here are relatively identifiable. Even if someone occasionally sees Deputy Mayor Wang coming here to have a meal, under normal circumstances, no one will ask for trouble and complain.

Alas, now I am an official in a government agency or state-owned enterprise or public institution, and my life is not easy to survive!

Once the party style and clean government construction is established above, if the leader goes out for dinner, he must be extra cautious. If he is not a good deal, he will be photographed or recorded by a good person, and then upload it to the Internet or report it to the discipline inspection agency. Perhaps the leader’s black hat will be lost!

This is the case with a meal, let alone going to karaoke, bathhouse, golf course and other occasions.

Of course, when some officials feel that it is difficult to be an official and the officialdom is difficult to survive, the people are applauding, but they are rushing to tell the Party Central Committee with the determination and strength of cutting off their arm and severely punishing the degenerate unhealthy trend.

Having said that, today, because it was the first time that the adults of the Zhang family met, at 5:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Xueru led his wife to the Zhangjiang Hotel early and entered the AO8 private room arranged by Director Hao on the third floor.

"Hello, two old men, may I ask, are you guests invited by Director Hao?"

As soon as Zhang Xueru and his wife walked to the door of the private room, a slender and beautiful waitress came forward with a smile and asked softly with a smile.

"Oh, yes. We are Director Hao's guests."

Zhang Xueru was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he nodded proudly.

Since Zhang Xueru was transferred to work at the Municipal Urban Construction Bureau, he has been to such occasions as today. Therefore, Zhang Xueru is not frightened to scenes such as hotels and hotels.

However, Zhang Xueru's wife was "old-down" and going to such a high-end hotel, for her, it was really a big girl sitting in a sedan chair - her first experience!

Therefore, when entering the private room, Zhang Xueru's wife was afraid of being vain and did not dare to speak out at all.

After Zhang Xueru and his wife entered the private room, they saw a twelve-seat round table three meters away from the gate.

Around the round table, there were twelve sets of Taishi chairs with big red wool chair covers;

On the round tabletop, which was also covered with big red tablecloths, there were twelve sets of tableware neatly arranged;

Above the large round table, there is a luxurious round chandelier on the ceiling.

Around the circular chandeliers, four rows of small colorful ball bulbs are embedded in the lamp holes on the ceiling, illuminating the entire private room with bright lights.

Yu Qing, the private room waiter arrived and sent two cups of hot fragrant tea.

Zhang Xueru's wife quickly got up and went to pick her up with her hands. Zhang Xueru immediately waved her hand at her, meaning that we are distinguished guests and there is no need to be polite with the waiter.

"Hello, two guests, please use tea."

The waiter came to the sand where the Zhang family and his wife were sitting, and half-kneeled in a very standard way to arrange the tea, and then politely left the private room.

"Hey, old lady, have I explained to you before going out?"

After the waiter left, Zhang Xueru said to his wife in a reproachful tone:

"When we arrive at the hotel, we are God! The waiter must be respectful to us. Here, when you eat for a while, don't be polite, eat as much as you should and drink as you should. When your in-laws and mother-in-law come, don't make a fool of yourself!"

"Oh, Ping's father, I said I can't come, don't come, you insist on me. After meeting Mayor Wang and his wife, I really don't know how to socialize with them!"

Mr. Zhang stammered and stretched out his palm and subconsciously rubbed his body a few times.

"Why don't you come here for the first time when my parents in-laws meet? Later, after Mengdu's parents come in, try to talk as little as possible. No matter what you say, just listen; and, when you meet Mengdu's parents, just nod your head, or as I say, just express your approval. Is this OK?"

Zhang Xueru was worried that his wife had never seen the world, and was even more worried that she would make jokes when she met her in-laws, so she reminded her again.

In fact, Zhang Xueru was also very nervous when he met the Wang couple today.

Think about it, the Wang couple has both status and status. Moreover, the executive vice mayor of Xiang Provincial Capital is already a very big official, and there are people who are surrounded by people wherever they go.

Although Zhang Xueru was transferred to the Municipal Urban Construction Bureau, he was just a small cadre after all:

Certified member of the Urban Management Section of the Urban Construction Bureau - Officer level!

Some people have long joked about those cadres who have just started in the agency, saying "Doing things and doing things until they are exhausted!"

Think about it, a small clerk suddenly had to meet the executive vice mayor. If the cadre level is different, the two are seven or eight levels apart, how can Zhang Xueru be calm?

In fact, before leaving today, Zhang Xueru also thought about it repeatedly:

What kind of clothing should you wear today?

Wear a suit. Today I am meeting my in-laws. Wearing a suit looks too formal and will make everyone feel restrained;

Wear a shirt. The weather in the provincial capital has already become a little cool in October. If you catch a cold and hurt your body, it would be unforgettable!

After thinking about it, Zhang Xueru suddenly remembered the shots he had seen on TV.

In TV news, the reporter reported that when leading cadres were on inspection, they often wore casual clothes with zippers.

That's right!

Casual clothing is not the best, it is comfortable to wear, and it also looks easy-going. No matter what occasion you go to, it is "optimal for both high and low"!

So, Zhang Xueru decided to wear casual clothes to meet with his in-laws!

This morning, Zhang Xueru went to the clothing store and chose a light gray "Jinba" brand casual outfit, which cost 800 yuan!

At the same time, Zhang Xueru also specially asked his wife to go to the department store, and chose the right choice in the women's clothing department, and finally bought a light blue spring and autumn shirt with florals.

After returning home, the old couple rummaged through the cabinets and selected pants from the pile of clothes for a long time.

Before leaving the door in the afternoon, the old couple was still comparing in front of the mirror for most of the day.

Finally, I felt satisfied with the dressing. I saw that the clock was past four o'clock, so I should be able to leave it, right?

The Zhang family is not far from Zhangjiang Hotel, and it is only seven or eight kilometers away at most. Now, it may be a little earlier in time.

But considering that the other party is a high-ranking official, the first time a family meeting, we can't let people with high-ranking official status wait for us ordinary people, right?

What's more, staying at home is also like staying there, so it's better to go to the hotel early.

After thinking about this a little, Zhang Xueru made a decision: go out of the hotel immediately!

So the old couple went out.

After leaving, Zhang Xueru specially called a taxi on the side of the road. This was also the first time the old couple took to the taxi after the Zhang family moved to the provincial capital.

After the old couple got on the bus, Zhang Xueru said to the driver with a strong aura:

"Go to Zhangjiang Hotel!"

The taxi driver said "Okay", and in less than a quarter of an hour, he sent Zhang Xueru and his wife to Zhangjiang Hotel.

After entering the private room, Zhang Xueru specially called Director Hao and told him that he and the old woman had already arrived at the hotel.

"Okay, Zhang Shifu, you guys have tea in the private room first. I'll wait at the entrance of the hotel for a while. I'm going to welcome Mayor Wang and Mrs. Wang here."

The old couple of Zhang family arrived first, and Hao Desheng felt at ease, so he didn't go to the private room to chat with Zhang Xueru and his wife.

Zhang Xueru and his wife drank tea in the private room for a while, and then they heard Hao Desheng's voice coming from outside:

"Mayor Wang, sister-in-law, come here, please. Yes, ao8 private room."

"Oh, it's the in-laws here! Hurry up, get up and greet him!"

After hearing Hao Desheng's voice, Zhang Xueru immediately waved to his wife. He rushed to the door of the private room first, stood respectfully by the door, ready to welcome Deputy Mayor Wang and his wife.

"Hello leader, please come in!"

At this moment, it was the slender waiter who had greeted the Zhang family and his wife before. She came to the door of the Ao8 private room with a gentle and elegant voice, guiding the guests in the door with a sweet voice.

Then, Hao Desheng followed him to the door of the private room, nodded respectfully in the direction of the corridor and said:

"Mayor Wang, sister-in-law, please, please come inside!"

The mayor and his wife came in!

Deputy Mayor Wang walked in front and saw his black head shining under the bright lights - probably because he had just been baked with oil.

Deputy Mayor Wang had a national face, and at one glance, he was only about fifty years old.

It was just a coincidence that the upper body of Vice Mayor Wang was wearing a casual outfit today, but the color was not light gray, but black; the deputy mayor was wearing a pair of black leather shoes, and the leather shoes were so bright:

The upper is black and transparent, spotless, and it makes people imagine that if a fly falls on it, it is afraid that the fly will slip!

As for the mayor's wife, I don't care much about what I wear today:

Wear a light red women's suit on the upper body; under the suit, a light green skirt covering the knee joints.

The mayor's wife was accustomed to carrying a yellow 1V Kun bag with small bean flowers printed on it.
