Chapter 346 [The world is very big and small]
Although today's Yanjing is like a classical beauty who has been destroyed by the beast of modernization, which has long been completely different, it still leaves a background that other cities do not have.
This city has witnessed the rise and fall of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the unique demeanor of several famous emperors.
Yanjing City at night, like other cities, is brightly lit and full of traffic.
Since the plane entered the sky over Yanjing, Pei Donglai, who was sitting by the window, looked down at Yanjing City under the night through the small window. His face was as calm as water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
For Pei Donglai, this is his first visit to Yanjing.
In summer, he took the train going south to the East China Sea and passed through Yanjing.
On that day, he looked at Yanjing City through the window of the train, like Grandma Liu strolling around the back garden, and never got off the train.
It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare.
Because.
At that time, he felt that Yanjing was hell for him. As long as he dared to set foot on this land, there would be no way.
This time, he looked down at Yanjing from above through the window of the plane.
I don't know if it's a change in identity and mood, or because I'm looking down at a high altitude.
This time, he felt that Yanjing was no longer terrible and no longer in awe of him.
Before Pei Dong could withdraw his eyes, the plane began to descend. After a bump, it landed safely and slid to the parking space already prepared by the airport.
"What are you thinking about?"
After the plane landed safely, Jia Peiyuan withdrew his eyes when he saw Pei Donglai and asked with a smile.
"It feels like a dream."
Pei Donglai made a joke with a smile, but he sighed in his heart that the plan was not as fast as the change. Originally, he planned to step into Yanjing City through four years of hard work, but now it has only been more than half a year since he made the plan, all of which made him feel like a dream.
Beizi said, Nan Peiyuan.
As one of the Taishan Beidou in the economic field, although Jia Peiyuan did not enter the officialdom, he did not go to the sea to do business 1 to be well-known, and he took the road of a scholar to assist politics, and his identity is far from comparable to that of ordinary scholars.
In order to show the importance and respect for Jia Peiyuan, the person responsible for the pick-up was the director of the same office building as Ye Zhengrong. When he saw Jia Peiyuan, he showed enough respect. He also smiled at Pei Donglai, and there was no flaws in etiquette.
It's just that in the whole process, he looked at Pei Dong three times from head to toe.
After three times, he still couldn't figure out what gave Pei Donglai the courage to challenge the prince of the Ye family.
"Jiao Lao, this meeting is scheduled to be held in Yanyuan. During the meeting, you will stay in the Yanyuan Hotel."
The Audi A6 with Beijing Island was launched, and the director surnamed Yao Mingli took the initiative to talk to Jia Peiyuan: "So far, the representatives who came to this meeting have arrived. According to the schedule of the meeting, the delegates can gather together tomorrow for discussion. At 9:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow, the meeting will be held at the Yanyuan International Conference Center.
Jia Peiyuan nodded with a smile.
"In addition, Mr. Jia, I have asked someone to book a box in the hotel. Will you and your assistants and students go back to your room to put down your things first, and then go to dinner together?" Yao Li saw that Jia Peiyuan had no objection to the arrangement of the meeting, and asked again.
Jia Peiyuan shook his head and said, "I usually seldom eat at night, so I won't go."
While talking, Jia Peiyuan turned his head to Pei Donglai and said, "Donglai, you can have dinner with Director Yao."
"No, teacher, I was full on the plane just now." Pei Donglai smiled and politely refused.
"Shang Yao, your heart is in our hearts, so we won't have dinner." Hearing Pei Dong's words, Jia Peiyuan apologized to Yao Li.
"You're welcome, Mr. Jia."
In the face of Jia Peiyuan's refusal, Yao Li did not feel thankless at all, but smiled quietly.
An hour later, the car passed through more than half of Yanjing City and arrived at Yanyuan.
Because of the grade of this economic academic seminar and the amount of money, it has attracted almost all domestic economists, and there are bosses from many ministries and commissions to attend the meeting. For this reason, the security measures are in place. There are not only armed police guarding at the entrance of Yanyuan, but also a sharp knife reconnaissance company transferred from the military. Responsible for protecting the personal safety of the participants.
"Jia Lao, then I won't bother you. You should go to bed early"
After sending Jia Peiyuan to the room booked at Yanyuan Hotel, Yao Li smiled and was ready to leave.
Jia Peiyuan stretched out his hand with a smile and shook Yao Li's right hand: "Please, Director Yao."
"It should be."
Yao Li responded with a smile, and then smiled at Jia Peiyuan's assistants Zhang Rui and Pei Donglai, and then left the room.
"Come on, have a good rest and refresh yourself tonight. Tomorrow I will take you to meet the scholars who came to the meeting this time." Perhaps knowing that Pei Dong, who first arrived in Yanjing, was mostly unable to calm down. Therefore, after Yao Li left, Jia Peiyuan did not rush to take Pei Dong to meet those economists, but let Pei Dong have a good rest.
"Okay, teacher."
Pei Donglai nodded and bowed to leave.
In order to show respect for Jia Peiyuan, the organizer not only booked a single room for Jia Peiyuan, but also Zhang Rui and Pei Donglai.
Pei Donglai's room is opposite Jia Peiyuan.
"Buzz...Buzz..."
Entering the room, Pei Donglai put down his backpack and was ready to take a shower, only to find that his mobile phone vibrated.
Pei Donglai's heart moved. He took out his mobile phone and found that it was not Qin Dongxue's call as he guessed, but Wu Yuze's girlfriend Su Shiyun.
The slightly lost mood was fleeting, and Pei Dong came to pick up the answer button: "Hey."
"Ping Donglai, I'm Su Shiyun." At the other end of the phone, Su Shiyun reported herself.
"I know."
"Have you arrived in Yanjing?"
"Well, I just arrived."
"Are you free in the evening? If you're free, I'll buy you a cup of coffee." Su Shiyun took the initiative to initiate the invitation.
"Good."
Pei Donglai's heart vaguely reached something and simply agreed.
Compared with the hot night scene, * Coffee Hall is another extreme, mainly in a quiet and elegant environment, suitable for couples to date, not suitable for picking Huā masters to hunt for beauty, it is a favorite place for petty bourgeoisie.
The place where Su Shiyun and Pei Dong came to meet is a coffee hall called Leshi.
When Pei Donglai arrived at the *fei hall by taxi according to the address given by Su Shiyun, there were many guests in the *fei hall, but it was very quiet. The guests either talked in a low voice, browsed magazines quietly, or surfed the Internet with a tablet.
At a glance, Pei Donglai saw Su Shiyun, sitting by the window, standing up and wacing to him.
Pei Donglai smiled and signaled, and then followed the waiter to the booth where Su Shiyun was.
Along the way, Pei Donglai could clearly detect that the eyes of many guests exchanged back and forth between him and Su Shiyun, and some male guests showed some doubts and jealous expressions.
In the gaze of many guests, Pei Dong came to the booth where Su Shiyun was located, nodded to each other and then ignored the eyes around him, and sat down calmly.
"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
As soon as Pei Donglai sat down, the waiter handed the wine list to Pei Donglai with a smile on his face.
"Ice water, thank you."
Pei Donglai smiled and didn't pick up the wine list.
Ice water?
The smile on the waiter's face was slightly stiff, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"The owner here is a quite tasteful * coffee taste, because the popularity in the industry can get all kinds of imported high-quality * coffee taste good through various channels. Can you try it?" Seeing that the waiter was a little embarrassed, Su Shiyun smiled and recommended it for Pei Dong.
"I haven't had the habit of drinking coffee for a long time. Just ice water." Pei Donglai shook his head with a smile.
Hearing Pei Donglai's words again, Su Shiyun knew that Pei Donglai was a very independent person. Once he made a decision, it was basically impossible to change because of others.
In this regard, Su Shiyun did not force it any more, but smiled and motioned to the waiter to give Pei Dong ice water.
"Dong Xue was taken home a week ago."
A minute later, I saw the waiter bring up Pei Dong's ice water. Su Shiyun did not greet Pei Dong, but said bluntly, "Before she left, she told me that before the economic academic seminar was held, she was likely to be under house arrest again and could not contact you. Have you contacted her in the past few days?"
"No."
Ping Donglai shook his head.
"Alas."
Seeing Pei Donglai shaking her head, Su Shiyun sighed and said, "It seems that as Dong Xue predicted, she is indeed under house arrest. What are you going to do?"
"What you can do." Pei Donglai smiled, picked up the glass of water, and bought it cold.
"You"... You don't blame Dongxue, do you?" Seeing Pei Donglai picking up the ice water, Su Shiyun was afraid that Pei Donglai's heart would be as cold as water, and asked with a little worry.
"If I blame her, I won't come."
Pei Donglai took a sip of ice water and didn't feel cold and piercing: "I understand her helplessness."
"Call~"
Hearing what Pei Donglai said, Su Shiyun was secretly relieved: "That's good. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Dong Xue said, if you think it's too urgent this time, just wait for the next time. Anyway, there are still more than three years left. She can hold it.
"Now that you're here, do what you have to do before you leave. There's nothing to worry about." Pei Donglai smiled indifferently and smiled confidently.
Su Shiyun was stunned. She didn't know where Pei Donglai's self-confidence came from.
Half an hour later, Pei Donglai ended his conversation with Su Shiyun and left the coffee hall together.
To Pei Donglai's surprise, Su Shiyun, the daughter of the Su family in Hanghu, did not drive a good car, but, like him, he came by taxi.
Because Yanyuan and Yan Dabu are in the opposite direction, Pei Donglai did not take a taxi with Su Shiyun, but took a taxi back to Yanyuan alone.
Perhaps the word Yanyuan shocked the taxi driver, so that the driver hardly talked with Pei Dong all the way.
I don't know how long it took for a taxi to stop at an intersection. Through the glass of the window, Pei Donglai clearly saw a car with a Jingyu license plate parked aside.
The window opened, and a cold and noble face came into Pei Donglai's eyes.
That face is no stranger to Pei Donglai.
Perhaps she was aware of Pei Donglai's gaze, and the woman turned her head to look at Pei Donglai.
The four eyes were connected, the woman's pupils suddenly dilated, and her face was instantly occupied by shock.
The red light turned green, and Pei Donglai withdrew his eyes. The taxi started and passed by the car with the Jingyu license plate.
In the taxi.
Pei Donglai's heart is like a rock, and his face is calm.
In the Buick car with Beijing +6, the girl named Gu Meimei, who was jointly evaluated as a first lieutenant colonel in Shencheng with Qin Dongxue, was still dull.
The world is very big and small.
Where do we not meet in life?
