Back in the room, Jin Sheng and Ma Shengran had almost finished talking about face-saving matters. Ma Shengran got up and repeatedly invited Jin Sheng to stay for dinner no matter what.

Xiao Zhanzhan went to call Ji Tianhou just now, but he still didn't wake up. He was so drunk that he was drunk and dreaming.

Jin Sheng thought that Ji Tianhou would not wake up for a while, and he had many things to say, so he decided to stay one night and talk to Ji Tianhou all night long. This was not possible, as it would delay things too much.

However, he immediately thought that Li Yuanlang had to rush to Guangnan City, so he asked Lao Li to send Li Yuanlang back to the county town first.

Shuiming Township is not close to Ganping County, with a round trip of more than 200 miles. Lao Li is already quite old, so he might not be able to bear all this traveling. Besides, Jin Sheng is the county magistrate and has many things to do, so if it is inconvenient to use a car, he will say so politely.

Decline his kindness.

Ma Shengran also scratched his head and said that the village car owner was not at home, but Liu Shuxi reminded him that there would be a car from Yeyuhua Restaurant and he would go to Guangnan City to purchase goods. So, in front of everyone, Ma Shengran called Gao Yuee: "Boss Gao

, do you have a car to go to Guangnan? Send me someone there. Yes, now. In addition, prepare a table of good wine and food in the evening, and important leaders will attend..."

Jin Sheng didn't have high requirements for meals, as long as he was full. He originally wanted to prevent Ma Shengran from preparing a sumptuous meal and keep it simple. But when he realized that he was a veteran secretary of the township party committee, he couldn't deny his reputation, so he had to do as he pleased.

When Li Yuanlang left, Jin Sheng took the initiative to see him off without anyone else accompanying him.

On the way, Jin Sheng patted Li Yuanlang on the shoulder and said: "Yuanlang, you can go without worry, Xiao Wang is following you here. I want to have a good talk with Tianhou tonight. If it's early, I'll go back to the county town. If it's too late, I'll just stay and make do."

One night."

"Okay, County Magistrate, I will tell you any news there as soon as possible." Li Yuanlang was referring to Shui Qingzhang.

"You have a strong understanding, so I won't say more. Secretary Fang's best is to keep hammering and trying to seize power. This is not good for the development of the county." Jin Sheng warned.

"I understand the county magistrate's thoughts. This matter is indeed a stumbling block restricting the county's economic development. I will remind Secretary Shui."

Just as the car arrived, Li Yuanlang got on the car and waved goodbye to Jin Sheng.

This was a van, and it was a bit old, but it was just him and the driver in the cab, so it wasn't too crowded.

If the driver did not take the expressway, he would have to take a detour to Ganping County, which is not worth the distance. There is a road in Shuiming Township that leads to Guangnan City. The road is close but the road condition is poor. Most of the roads are dirt roads, bumpy and bumpy.

More than half way through, the car got stuck in a mud puddle. Li Yuanlang went down to push the cart and finally pushed it out. As a result, he was splashed with mud and water, and his shoes and pants were covered with mud.

Originally, getting stuck in the car was a waste of time, so Li Yuanlang simply wiped it with tissue paper and had no chance to change into clean clothes, and finally arrived at the Grand Hotel around 6:30 in the evening.

This is a pure five-star hotel, which is much better than the Jinding Hotel in Ganping County. Not only is the area larger, but the floors are also more than ten floors higher. The key is that it is a foreign-related hotel. It is common for foreign guests to come in.

When Li Yuanlang got off the car, he saw Qi Tongfei standing on the hotel porch making a phone call, as if waiting for someone.

Qi Tongfei couldn't help but frown when he saw Li Yuanlang walking towards him from a distance. Li Yuanlang's hair was rough and his trousers and shoes were full of mud, just like a migrant worker.

Qi Tongfei is the deputy manager of the restaurant department of the Grand Hotel. He organized this party. The reason why it was held in his workplace was to show his ability. Most of his classmates are in business, and few are in politics.

, belongs to Fengfei Lingjiao. Like him, being able to work as the deputy manager of the restaurant department in a famous five-star hotel is already considered outstanding.

Secondly, it was a party on the surface, but in fact he had a private purpose. They have a classmate named Xie Ke, whose name is quite unkind, but the key is that he has a high status. He is currently the secretary of Ge Yunhui, the executive deputy magistrate of Xiwu County, and the deputy department he just mentioned

class.

There are very few people in politics. At such a young age, he is at the deputy section level and is also the secretary of the powerful leader. Qi Tongfei had a relative who happened to be in Xiwu County and asked him to do something. He agreed to it, but it didn't matter.

Now that I have a relationship with Xie Ke, there is hope for success.

He was waiting outside just for Xie Ke to arrive. He had to greet him personally and give him enough face in front of his classmates so that they could not distinguish between east, west, north and south.

"How did you end up like this? Did you crawl out of the pigsty?" Qi Tongfei didn't give Li Yuanlang a good look, and even stared at him in disgust.

Li Yuanlang had the courage to hold it back. After all, there was no need to get stiff when talking to classmates, so he smiled and said: "The car got stuck in the mud when we came here, and my clothes were stained. I'm sorry."

"It's the passenger car. It's true. Go to the bathroom and wash it up. Whoever doesn't dress up for a party should at least dress neatly. Who looks like you? Don't embarrass us."

Qi Tongfei immediately told the doorman to take Li Yuanlang to wash up quickly.

While they were talking, they suddenly saw a black Passat speeding up and parked directly on the porch.

The driver got out of the car, opened the rear door, and put up an awning. Xie Ke wore sunglasses, a light gray suit, and a tie of the same color. He stepped out of the car in a grand manner, looking like a leader.

At the same time, the passenger door also opened, and a short-haired beauty walked out. Wearing black-rimmed glasses, an ol' light blue business suit, and carrying a white bag. She had curved eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and red lips.

She has an exquisite figure, but she is a little short. Wearing stilettos, she is only about 1.65 meters tall.

"Secretary Xie, you are finally here." To show their close relationship, Qi Tongfei and Xie Ke gave each other a big bear hug.

Then, he looked at the lady and asked with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, Li Wei, it must be you. You are the Propaganda Minister of the Youth League Committee of Xiwu County and the future female county magistrate."

The man was Xie Ke and the woman was Li Wei. Li Yuanlang finally recalled a trace of his memories and identified them.

Seeing Li Wei and Xie Ke arriving in the same car, Li Yuanlang wondered if they were a couple, but he didn't say anything because it would be too embarrassing if they weren't.

Qi Tongfei, Xie Ke and Li Wei stood on the porch chatting animatedly, paying no attention to Li Yuanlang. However, Li Wei saw him, pointed and asked, "Are you Li Yuanlang? The handsome college tyrant in our class?"

Li Yuanlang waved his hand modestly and said: "Li Wei, don't laugh at me, I'm just an ordinary person."

Xie Ke glanced at Li Yuanlang and said with a curl of his lips: "Li Yuanlang, Li Wei is right. When you were in school, you were the top student in our class. You were ranked among the top ten in the whole school year, but you were not in the college entrance examination."

It's a pity that I only got admitted to Donghe University if I performed well."

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly in his heart. The reason why he did not perform well was because he was admitted to Donghe University based on his scores.

Firstly, the provincial capital is close to home, making it easy to come and go. Secondly, Donghe University has a generous scholarship. His family's financial situation is not good, and it is not easy for his father to support him in college. Getting more scholarships can reduce a lot of the burden on the family.

During the college entrance examination, if he hadn't deliberately failed to fill in all the questions in several major subjects and lost some points, he wouldn't have been able to get into Donghe University or Beijing University.

How can Xie Ke know his difficulties? Only Shui Tingyue understands him best.

"Let's stop standing here and take a seat quickly. Secretary Xie, the classmates are waiting for you." Qi Tongfei put his arm around Xie Ke's shoulders and walked in first, while Li Wei seemed to deliberately fall behind and wait for Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang looked at himself in embarrassment and shrugged at Li Wei sheepishly, saying: "You think it's not good-looking for me to look like this. I'll wash my face first before going up. You go with Qi Tongfei and Xie Ke first, and then I'll go

Come."

"It's okay. I'll wait for you outside for a while. I have something to ask you."

Li Yuanlang was still very surprised. He and Li Wei were just ordinary classmates, and they hadn't seen each other for many years. What could she do with him?

In the bathroom, Li Yuanlang washed his face and wiped off the mud spots. His pants were wet and he apologized to Li Wei, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"In that case, we are old classmates, so we don't need to be so polite." Li Wei thought for a while and asked: "Li Yuanlang, I heard before that you were the Secretary and Secretary of the County Party Committee in Ganping County Committee. Now you should be promoted to a township official, right?"

It turned out that this was what happened. Li Yuanlang knew something about it, but he still didn't tell the truth. He repeated what he and Qi Tongfei had said, and asked in a vague way if Li Wei was with the Xie Ke family.

"Hey, you misunderstood. Xie Ke and I are classmates. We work in the same place. I happened to take his car here. He took Magistrate Ge's special car today to show off." After finishing speaking, Li Wei asked again.

She was very curious as to how Li Yuanlang's official career had gone so smoothly at the beginning, so he ended up like this.

Women are curious animals, and Li Wei is no exception. She likes to break the casserole and ask questions.

Li Yuanlang roughly recounted his experience. Li Wei was quite sympathetic and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's such a pity. You have such a good future, but your future has been delayed because your leader died of illness."

The two chatted and soon walked into the VIP Hall No. 5. There were two large tables here. Li Yuanlang took a look and found that Qi Tongfei was right. He walked around and found that there were at least forty people there. There were quite a lot of people there.

.

Although there were two tables, Li Yuanlang found that the treatment was divided into three levels.

The people sitting at the innermost round table were all glamorous and well-to-do, while the people sitting at the outermost round table were relatively ordinary people. They were probably ordinary people.

Everyone is very conscious. The good guys sit at the same table and the bad guys sit at the same table. No one arbitrarily sits at the table because it will cause eye rolls or verbal attacks and sarcasm.

Li Yuanlang didn't choose, and sat directly at the poor classmate's table, which was the most inconspicuous and last one by the door.

Li Wei also wanted to sit next to him, but Qi Tongfei came over and called him away, saying: "Minister Li, among our classmates, there is no one who does business. If you want to be in politics, the only one besides Xie Ke is you. How can you let

The future female county magistrate comes and sits over here. You take a seat and sit next to Secretary Xie."

Li Wei didn't want to go, but couldn't resist Qi Tongfei's repeated invitations, so she had to smile apologetically at Li Yuanlang and go to that table.
Chapter completed!
