【17】Dance Party

Xiaoqiang walked to Yu Feng's door and knocked on the door hesitantly.

"Who?"

"I, Cao Xiaoqiang."

"Come in"

Xiaoqiang pushed the door and saw Yu Feng leaning against the square table under the living room window reading a book.

"Doctor Yu, what book is so attractive?"

Yu Feng didn't get up, but still looked at the book and said, ""Clinical Medicine."

Xiaoqiang said embarrassedly: "There will be a dance in the Secretariat tonight. Are you interested in going with me?"

Yu Feng turned his head and stared at Xiaoqiang, and said slowly: "Are you an invitation to me?"

Xiaoqiang admitted with a little embarrassedly: "I'm very sincerely inviteing you, okay. I think it's quite boring to stay at home like this. Why not go and relax together."

Yu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I am not bored when I read books. I am just idle and panic. I have nothing else to do except check your health every day. Do you know that I especially envy those colleagues who saved lives and healed the wounded in the hospital. They are busy from morning to night every day. Although they say they are so tired, I can see the brilliance of pride in their eyes." As he said that, Yu Feng lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I can't realize your dream." Xiaoqiang felt very guilty.

Yu Feng burst out laughing, and said with his big eyes: "I'm lying to you, I'm so idle, and others still envy me. I'll accompany you to the dance party tonight, but I want to see what the dance party in your secretariat is like."

Seeing the beauty's every frown and smile, Xiaoqiang couldn't help but become a little confused and said with a foolish smile: "Then let's make up, let's go together after dinner tonight." After that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Dongzi came back with four thermos bottles. After each of the four rooms was put in one, Xiaoqiang drove Dongzi to Xidan again. He spent 32 yuan to buy a large eight-treasure lacquer ware food box in Rongfusheng. A rectangular black lacquer wooden box was pinched with gold wire. A fan pattern was pinched with gold wire. The fan surface was painted with pictures of ladies. The lid was opened and divided into eight areas. It was the most suitable for snacks. In the past, they were all utensils from the prince or rich man's house, and they put snacks for people to use. This guy was basically not seen in later generations, but it was found in the Pan family and was sold as antiques.

After buying and returning home, Xiaoqiang unpacked all the snacks left in his house and put them in, including Oreo biscuits, Want Want Snow Cakes, Dove Chocolate, and Haojia Potato Chips, which filled the big eight-treasure food box. He handed the packaging to Dongzi and told him to take it out and cook it. Xiaoqiang ran to Yu Feng to offer treasures.

Knocking on the door, Xiaoqiang placed the food box directly on the table in Yu Feng's living room and said, "Today I was transferred from the Intelligence Department to work at the Secretariat. Before leaving, the Intelligence Department sent some snacks. I don't like it, so you can take it to eat." After that, Xiaoqiang turned around and walked out without waiting for Yu Feng to agree.

Seeing Xiaoqiang leave, Yu Feng picked up the food box and wanted to chase it out. He hesitated for a moment, put down the food box and opened the lid. Looking at the novel snacks inside, all the snacks Yu Feng had never seen before, he felt a little reluctant to take them back and pay them off. "Didn't he say that he doesn't like snacks?" Yu Feng comforted himself, "I'll be a full-time doctor for him, it's not too much to eat a few snacks of him." While thinking contradictory, he couldn't help but pick up a piece of snow cake that looked very attractive and bit it down.

Jurentang in Zhongnanhai, located on the west coast of the Xiyuan Zhonghai, is a two-story Western-style building. It is the largest building among the old buildings in Zhongnanhai. The entire Baroque style building and the auxiliary decoration on the outside have obvious style differences from the surrounding architectural communities. The interior is decorated with European grace. Cixi, Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang, and Li Zongren were all the owners here.

The large conference room in the building has been simply arranged into a dance hall. There are sofas placed beside the door wall. A long table is placed in the corner, with several plates of homemade baking soda biscuits in the kitchen and some particularly small wine cups. A few bottles of white wine on the side have been opened, and the aroma of the wine can be smelled throughout the conference room. The vertical large phonograph next to the wall is filled with Soviet dance music. Under the unique texture of the vinyl record, the atmosphere of the dance party is very lively.

When Xiaoqiang drove with Yu Feng after dinner, it was already 7:30 pm and the dance had already begun. Xiaoqiang's eyes were dark, and no one knew each other. He just had a gossip heart burning, wanting to see the legendary Zhongnanhai dance. At this time, a man in his early forties walked towards Xiaoqiang. He was wearing a gray Kaji cloth Zhongshan suit, and his two thick eyebrows were lying straight on a pair of bright double-eyed eyes. He walked to Xiaoqiang and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, I am Yang Shangkun. Before I come today, the chairman specifically instructed me and you to study hard."

Xiaoqiang's sweat on his forehead, Secretary Yang! Deputy Secretary-General of the CPC Central Committee, Director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, his immediate boss, learn from himself? What is this to play? I quickly shook hands with him and said, "I dare not dare not, thanking the wrong love of the chief, I am ashamed of being a leader. I am young and don't understand too many things. I am unfamiliar with many situations. In my future work, I will also have to criticize and guide the chief to help myself improve."

Secretary Yang (Yang Shangkun also serves as the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Bureau of the Central Bureau of the People's Republic of China) saw Xiaoqiang's humble and polite words, and said happily: "I believe in the Chairman's vision. The person the Chairman likes is definitely not wrong! We learn from each other and help each other. If you have any difficulties in the future, I will raise them. I, the secretary, are for you."

Then he turned to look at Yu Feng: "This girl is amazing, she is so beautiful that she has nothing to say. She is the dance partner you brought to you by Xiao Cao."

Xiaoqiang quickly introduced "This is Dr. Yu Feng and Yu." He didn't dare to say that this was his private doctor. God knows whether Secretary Yang has a private doctor, and what level and age he is. If he talks about having a private doctor, it will not be criticized.

"Hello, Chief." Yu Feng was just a doctor in a military hospital before, and he didn't know what position Yang Shangkun was and what should he call him, but he just followed Xiaoqiang to call him the chief.

"Hello." Secretary Yang shook hands with Yu Feng, while looking at Xiaoqiang meaningfully, saying, "Xiao Cao has vision. It's amazing to find a girlfriend. It's good to have both talent and beauty. Doctor, being a people's doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded is the noblest profession."

So under the introduction of Secretary Yang, Xiaoqiang met many colleagues one by one. He learned that most of the colleagues present today had never been married. Because the secretariat's workload was too large, many comrades often had no time to work with each other. Therefore, the Zhongnanhai Dance also had a mission, which was to play the role of a matchmaker, so that these secretaries who were buried in the documents all day long had the opportunity to come into contact with the opposite sex, fall in love, and even get married. Those who came with their marriage and wives were old comrades who came to play a role in warming up the scene.

Of course, the women invited to the dance party today were single. Among them were actresses from the art troupe, staff from the central government, and female companions they brought themselves. The lineup was huge, making the dance party look like there were more women and fewer men. Many girls were looking at these weak secretaries. Although these secretaries were all very bookish, at least half of them were wearing highly myopic glasses and looked weak, they were very popular for these girls.

In today's words, these first-time friends are fighters among senior civil servants. In this era, if they could marry a secretary from the Central Secretariat, they could become families of cadres in the organs in one step, and they could live in the central government compound. They would be baptized by the envious eyes of their friends.

Although people in this era are relatively simple and some girls don’t think so much, most single women who receive the invitation are full of joy and dress up carefully, bringing three or two fashionable female companions to come together. The dressing is simple at this time. Although they are carefully dressed up, they are nothing more than a bow or a beautiful hairband, pouring some oil on them, combing their hair and pursing them, and wearing the latest clean old clothes, and being able to wear brand new clothes is considered proud.

Some girls have been to such dance parties more than once, and they are experienced. Seeing Secretary Yang personally giving Xiaoqiang social introductions, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. During the private conversation, someone asked each other about Xiaoqiang's identity.

Xiaoqiang is not outstanding in appearance, with a slightly fat round face, and a three-point heroic eyebrows, and a 1.73-meter-old figure. However, his calm and calm expression in his every move was also very appreciated by everyone.

This is not because Xiao Qiang pretends to be calm, but because he has seen the Chairman and Prime Minister several times. After several conversations, he has faced the biggest scene in the world and the biggest figure. He has learned a lot from these great men and dare not say that he imitates the leader, but in short, his inferiority complex has greatly reduced his heart, and he is quite calm when he sees the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court, and is calm and calm.

Amid the music, the invited girl happily danced with her dance partner, and sat on the sofa and chatted and talked in groups without being invited.

Yu Feng met an acquaintance, a female classmate from the Medical University, and the two were eager to talk about their current situation. Seeing that they were having a hot chat, Xiaoqiang had to stand far away and stare at the dance floor in a daze.

"Hello, can you please just dance?" At this time, a soft female voice sounded in Xiaoqiang's ears.
