Chapter 249

At half past two, she went to Mr. Yue's office on time.

"There are several leaders of the Natural Science Foundation Committee who come to the school to give a report. I have reserved a place to invite them to dinner tonight. You can come with me, right?" Mr. Yue didn't mention her marriage, so he said straight to the point.

"I --" Fang Xiaoyou never liked this kind of social intercourse, and rarely experienced it. However, she couldn't refuse it when teacher Yue mentioned it directly.

Seeing that she was in a bit of a dilemma, teacher Yue asked, "does your wife not like your participation in such activities?"

In fact, she had no idea what Xia Yuchen's attitude would be. Therefore, it was not easy for her to answer teacher Yue's question.

"You have just come back. Since you will stay in China for development, you have to have a good relationship with those people. Otherwise, where will the money come from?" Mr. Yue's attitude is very serious. It seems that it's all about helping and supporting her.

It is also the result of teacher Yue's activities in the school that she came back to get the "Yangtze River Scholar". If not, it would be very difficult for her to get such treatment. What's more, teacher Yue asked her to get to know those experts and leaders for her development.

"I see, Miss Yue!" She agreed.

"I'll ask yuan Jin to call you then." "Well," she said.

"When did you get married? Why didn't you inform us? Or celebrate for you Mr. Yue asked.

Fang Xiaoyou embarrassed to smile, said: "not long ago, it is not good to disturb relatives and friends, there is no notice."

"Marriage is a great joy. What do you say to disturb me?" Yue teacher also smile, forehead will squeeze out a pile of smile lines, "Oh, by the way, did not ask your wife what he does?"

It's natural for teachers to ask such questions. Fang Xiaoyou thinks so, say: "he works in provincial development and Reform Commission."

"The national development and Reform Commission? That's a good unit! " Mr. Yue said that he seemed to think of something again and said, "I have a friend who is also in the development and Reform Commission. I'll find him some other day and ask him to take care of your wife. By the way, what's his name? "

Fang Xiaoyou has also heard that Mr. Yue has considerable contacts in the province and even in Beijing. Relying on these relationships, he has been the president of the graduate school for many years. Since he said so, his friend must be a leading cadre of the national development and Reform Commission! However, she said: "thank you for your concern, my wife is still young, let him go slowly, don't bother you! Let you worry about us all the time, and we are sorry to be students! "

Fang Xiaoyou said that, but she knew that Mr. Yue didn't care about every student. After all, it took a lot of energy for him to care about so many students.

After laughing, teacher Yue asked about her application for key projects. After chatting, Mr. Yue has other things, so Fang Xiaoyou leaves.

When you walk out of Mr. Yue's office, you happen to meet Mr. Yue's elder martial brother yuan Jin. He has been Mr. Yue's capable man for a long time. When Fang Xiaoyou was still studying, Yuan Jin was the chief manager of Mr. Yue's laboratory.

"Ask your brother-in-law to come out some other day?" Yuan Jin said with a smile.

However, because Xia Yuchen never mentioned meeting her classmates and friends, Fang Xiaoyou couldn't agree for him, so he declined and said, "he's just an office worker. He's far away from our major, and he won't say anything about sitting together at that time."

"Not necessarily! I'm very interested in meeting this brother-in-law to see what kind of holy He is. He cheated our beautiful younger martial sister away! " Yuan Jin often talks like this. Although he felt that some of them were not serious enough, he had a good way of lubricating the relationship between all parties. If not for such skill, Mr. Yue would not be relieved to give yuan Jin the position of the chief manager.

Fang Xiaoyou said goodbye to Yuan Jin with a smile and went downstairs to his office.

Back to the office, she called Xia Yuchen and said something about the evening.

"I'll try to go home early, don't worry!" She said.

Although she said it was because of her work, Xia Yuchen was not happy to let her accompany a middle-aged man to entertain a group of officials. But he couldn't help but let her go, so he said, "don't drink, go home early."

She gave a "MMM" and he hung up.

At 5:30, Yuan Jin asked her to go to the hotel with him to prepare, because Mr. Yue and his younger martial brother had already gone to meet the experts.

Today's place is a restaurant called "deyuelou" in the provincial capital. It is antique and famous for its royal cuisine. It is also a place where many celebrities who are keen to boast of elegance often come.

"Yinyuan" is located in the eastern suburb Business District of the city. Although it is located in a prosperous area, it is a building of royal garden. As soon as you enter, you can see that it is in the downtown area with towering trees and winding paths.

"I didn't expect such a good place." She said.

"You'll be a regular in the future!" Yuan Jin said with a smile.

"Is there any way?" She asked.

With a mysterious smile, Yuan Jin just said, "you'll know later." then he walked into the private room they set.

After 6:30, Mr. Yue and other talents come in jokingly. Fang Xiaoyou and Yuan Jin get up to greet them.

When everyone sat down, Mr. Yue, as the host, began to introduce the food and wine to the table.

"This is Fang Xiaoyou, my master, who graduated from Cambridge and was introduced as a scholar of the Yangtze River. Fang Xiaoyou, come here and propose a toast to Director Zhou! " Yue said.

Before Fang Xiaoyou had time to say that he couldn't drink, Yuan Jin filled the glass in front of her.

"I guess who this beautiful woman is. It turns out that she is Lao Yue's disciple!" Director Zhou said with a smile, "Lao Yue, you are good at this technique. You can teach this talented and beautiful student!"

All of you are laughing. Fang Xiaoyou is at a loss. Teacher Yue says with a smile, "Fang Xiaoyou has just returned home and applied for a key project." Turning his head, he asked, "Fang Xiaoyou, how much did you apply for?"

"Three million!" She replied quickly.

"Well, you can have three drinks with each of us, fifteen in all. As long as you finish these 15 cups, this year's project will be approved for you. " Director Zhou said with a smile.

"Do you hear me? Director Zhou has a lot to say!" Around director Zhou, a bald man said with a smile.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyou sitting still, Mr. Yue made a gesture and said, "Fang Xiaoyou --"

Fang Xiaoyou had no choice but to pick up his glass and walk to Director Zhou.

As soon as director Zhou saw her coming, his unhappy face disappeared and he stood up. That pair of small eyes, looked her from head to foot several times, grinned and said to teacher Yue, "Lao Yue, no wonder the younger you live, the more beautiful you are around. I really envy you!"

"Don't make fun of me, director Zhou! There are no more beautiful girls in the capital than in our small place? " Yue said with a smile, and quickly encouraged Fang Xiaoyou to propose a toast.

No way, Fang Xiaoyou had no choice but to touch a cup with others, said a polite saying, "please take care of director Zhou in the future.".

As soon as the words were over, someone on the wine table began to coax: "director Zhou loves to take care of beautiful women! Miss Fang, you will have a great development in the future! "

Fang Xiaoyou only felt numb all over his body. He felt like a laughing woman.

"Miss Fang, you see, I've finished drinking. Why didn't you move?" Director Zhou asked with a smile.

Because it was the first drink, she had to finish it, but just after the first sip, she was choked and coughed. Director Zhou stood beside her and quickly patted her on the back. In fact, she was not patting, but touching. She quickly stepped back and said with a smile, "Miss director Zhou!"

After that, he swallowed with a breath and suddenly blushed.

"Teacher Fang is a drinker! Go on! There's more! " The head of the Department yelled.

Yuan Jin didn't know when he appeared next to Fang Xiaoyou and said to Director Zhou, "director Zhou, leaders, our teacher Fang's family is preparing for the next generation plan. Tonight, her wife specially asked me to drink for her. If the leaders don't dislike it, let me drink the wine for Mr. Fang! "

In fact, Yuan Jin couldn't bear to see these people bullying Fang Xiaoyou like this. He thought she could drink, so he poured a few cups for her. Seeing the way she drank the first cup, he saw that she couldn't do it, so he took the initiative to stand up for her. He saw too many scenes like this.

Fang Xiaoyou can't help but appreciate yuan Jin's help.

When people listen to this, the scene is a little cold. However, soon, one of the people who came with director Zhou said, "the next generation is an important task. Mr. Fang would like to have a drink as appropriate. Otherwise, we'll go all the way -- "

"Fang Xiaoyou, how much company do you have?" Mr. Yue, this is the last order. Fang Xiaoyou has no choice but to change three cups for each person into one cup for each person. Yuan Jin has solved the remaining two cups. However, even so, by the time of the fourth person, she was a little dizzy, and Yuan Jin quickly supported her.

After a lap, we entered the next topic at dinner.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyou was not comfortable, Yuan Jin helped her out of the private room and sat in the corridor outside.

"Sit down and I'll get you a sober drink." Yuan Jin said and left.

Fang Xiaoyou is sitting there alone. In the silence, there are occasional waiters or guests passing by.

It's already dark, and the palace lanterns in the garden are also on. The wind is blowing and the lights are shaking.

She's very uncomfortable, not only physically, but also mentally.

Why drink with these people? And listen to the language? She just wants to do a good job in scientific research. Why do she have to have a relationship with these officials?

Alas, if we don't have a good relationship with these money management officials, where will the funds come from? If there is no funds, what can we do for the experiment?

She couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Yuan Jin said "I'll know later" that sentence, the original meaning is ah!

Now she wants to go home, back to Xia Yuchen's side, but the dinner is not over, there are still things to talk about, how can I leave?
