A group of people walked to the parking lot.

Just as he was about to get into the car, he suddenly saw flying dust not far away, two cars driving one after another, and a police car clearing the way in front of him.

The car stopped not far from Li Yuanlang and the others.

Han Wei, dressed in military uniform, stepped out of the police car. He currently serves as the deputy magistrate of Wuma County and the director of the County Public Security Bureau.

After straightening his clothes, Han Wei nodded to Li Yuanlang.

He did not step forward immediately, waiting for Ji Tianhou, the head of Uma County, who got out of the car behind him.

Behind Ji Tianhou is Wu Liushui.

Ji Tianhou still looked the same as before, waving and shouting carelessly: "Mayor Yuen Long, you are not very interesting. When you come to Guangnan, you don't even say hello to your brothers. You just don't want to see me."

Li Yuanlang smiled helplessly and glanced at Zhou Yu, "You must have tipped off the news."

Zhou Yu shrugged, "Tianhou called me and asked me to get to the bottom of it. I have to tell you."

"You, you really can't offend both sides." Li Yuanlang smiled and pointed at Zhou Yu.

He stepped forward, ready to shake hands with Ji Tianhou.

Unexpectedly, Ji Tianhou gave him a gentle hammer and gave him a bear hug.

Then he patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder again.

Only then did he realize that Bai Qing was also present. They were old friends. Li Yuanlang's acquaintance with Bai Qing was the result of Ji Tianhou's connection.

"Three..." Ji Tianhou realized that it was not right to call him Third Sister, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Hello, brother and sister."

Li Yuanlang and Ji Tianhou are the same age and have a younger birthday than him. There is nothing wrong with calling them younger siblings, and they seem to be close to each other.

Bai Qing smiled slightly and nodded as a greeting.

Ji Tianhou saw Gu Yu next to Bai Qing, bent down and touched his face, and said with a smile: "You are Gu Yu, I am your father's friend."

Bai Qing gestured: "My name is Uncle Ji."

Guyu said calmly, "Hello, Uncle Ji."

Although his expression was not enthusiastic, he did say something.

Moreover, as a child, no one cares about him.

Here, Han Wei first saluted Li Yuanlang, clasping Li Yuanlang's right hand with both hands, "Hello, mayor."

Li Yuanlang said half-jokingly: "Not to mention, you look quite handsome in this police uniform. Xinrui has good taste."

"Hehe." Han Wei rubbed the back of his head honestly, "It's not bad."

Next is Wu Liushui.

"Liu Shui, are you still serving as secretary of Shenshui Township?"

Wu Liushui said with a smile: "I have just been transferred to the county government office and I am back to my old job."

Ji Tianhou added: "Director of the County Government Office. Considering that Liu Shui's family is in the county seat, they always run around and affect their relationship as husband and wife. Besides, when you get to the County Government Office, you can share some of the burden with me. You are the mayor's favorite person.

, I still agree."

Li Yuanlang understood at once that Ji Tianhou was taking Wu Liushui under his command, and Li Yuanlang fully agreed.

After greeting each other, Ji Tianhou put away his smile and said formally: "Let's go see Ting Yue and Auntie first, and we'll talk later."

Li Yuanlang understood Ji Tianhou, he was definitely not going through the motions just to save Li Yuanlang's face.

Ji Tianhou has the best relationship with him and is also Shui Tingyue's classmate.

Shui Tingyue is buried here. If you meet her, Ji Tianhou will definitely go to pay homage to her.

Taking a bouquet of flowers from the secretary, Ji Tianhou, Han Wei and Wu Liushui walked directly to the cemetery.

Li Yuanlang told Bai Qing to take Gu Yu to the car and wait for a while.

Then he and Zhou Yu followed Ji Tianhou and his party to the gravesites of Shui Tingyue's mother and daughter again.

After the worship, on the way back, Ji Tianhou said: "Yuan Long, you finally came back, but you can't leave tonight no matter what. I booked a banquet at He Tianju in the city. We won't get drunk."

No return.”

Li Yuanlang waved his hand, "Tianhou, you and I are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite. I am still in a hurry to get back to Deping. We have plenty of opportunities to drink. Let's wait another day."

Wu Liushui interrupted, "Mayor, County Magistrate Ji hasn't had a good time in a long time, so you can fulfill his wish."

Li Yuanlang felt something was wrong and asked, "Liu Shui, do you mean Tianhou is in trouble?"

Ji Tianhou shook his head, "It's not really a trouble, there's just something that's bothering me. Yuen Long, I'm anxious to go back this evening. I have something else to discuss with you in detail."

Li Yuanlang thought for a while, "Okay, if a strong dragon meets a local snake, I can't defeat you."

Han Wei laughed, "Mayor, you think of yourself as an outsider. You are also a native of Guangnan. Although you are in Ganping County, you still belong to Guangnan."

"You can even say wisecracks now." Seeing Han Wei's change, Li Yuanlang felt a lot.

Bai Qing did not follow Li Yuanlang to the banquet.

Qingqing needs her to take care of her, and there is Gu Yu who is uncertain by her side.

The key is that with her around, it's inconvenient for these people to talk.

Bai Qing didn't want to participate and was too lazy to participate.

After breaking up with Li Yuanlang, Zhou Yu personally sent her back to Yunyang immediately and took a flight back to Chuzhong City tomorrow morning.

Zhou Yu's company has something to do and needs to go back to deal with it. He has discussed it with Li Yuanlang and they will meet up in Yunyang tomorrow and fly directly to Anjiang Province.

Before leaving, Bai Qing specifically asked Li Yuanlang and told Ji Tianhou that Li Yuanlang was in poor health and should drink less alcohol and not smoke any cigarettes.

After saying goodbye to his wife and Guyu, Li Yuanlang got into Ji Tianhou's car. Ji Tianhou looked at him up and down as if he didn't recognize him, "Have you really quit smoking?"

"Quited completely." Li Yuanlang waved his hand to block Ji Tianhou Jingyan's movement.

"A smoker can quit smoking, Yuen Long, you really impress me." Ji Tianhou put away the cigarette with emotion.

Compared with a few years ago, the biggest change in Guangnan today is that many real estates have been built, mostly high-rise buildings.

It was just in time for the rush hour after get off work, and the streets were busy with cars and pedestrians.

Hetianju is a large restaurant that has just opened.

The third floor and above belong to the VIP level and you need to take a special elevator from the backyard.

As soon as Li Yuanlang and others arrived at the backyard, they saw three people hurriedly coming to greet them.

Upon introduction, I found out that among the three people, two were deputy directors of the county government office, and the other, surnamed Tong, was the director of the Wuma County Investment Promotion Bureau.

But when Ji Tianhou saw this person, he frowned and his face suddenly darkened.

Even so, Director Tong still had a smile on his face, he couldn't help nodding and bowing to Ji Tianhou, and kept moving closer to Ji Tianhou.

Wu Liushui had a straight face, took a step forward to block Director Tong, and asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Director Tong smiled apologetically and said, "I report to County Magistrate Ji."

Ji Tianhou didn't even look at him and asked the two deputy directors, "Is the room ready?"

"The lotus pond on the third floor, the one you like."

Ji Tianhou smiled and said to Li Yuanlang: "Mayor Li, please."

It is obvious that Ji Tianhou deliberately called Li Yuanlang's official position in front of his subordinates, showing his high connections.

Li Yuanlang and Ji Tianhou walked side by side to the elevator inside, and everyone else followed, except Han Wei.

Li Yuanlang turned around and asked, "Where is Han Wei?"

Wu Liushui responded quickly, "County Magistrate Han is dealing with Director Tong's affairs, and will come over later."

Li Yuanlang felt that Ji Tianhou had a great prejudice against, or was dissatisfied with, Director Tong.

Since it involved the internal affairs of the Wuma County Government, Ji Tianhou did not take the initiative to speak, and it was not convenient for Li Yuanlang to inquire.

As the name suggests, there is an artificial lotus pond in the room, with blooming lotus flowers and green lotus leaves floating on it.

It is still the end of April, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, but the lotus blooming season has not yet arrived in the north. Therefore, you can see the blooming lotus in the private room. The unique and clever design is enough to attract people's attention.

Ji Tianhou was not polite and gave the main seat to Li Yuanlang, who sat on Li Yuanlang's left.

Wu Liushui lowered his hands under Ji Tianhou. The chair to Li Yuanlang's right was empty, presumably reserved for Han Wei.

The rest of the people sat down one by one.

After sitting firmly, the waiter quickly brought plates of exquisite dishes to the table.

A deputy director of the county government was holding a bottle of fine Yunshui Daqu and was about to pour wine for Li Yuanlang.

Li Yuanlang raised his hand to stop him and said, "You drink, I drink."

The deputy director was embarrassed for a moment and looked at Ji Tianhou at a loss.

"Mayor Li, guests are welcome, please come less often."

After Ji Tianhou said this, Li Yuanlang motioned to the deputy director to pour half a cup.

Wu Liushui understood and nodded to the deputy director, saying that this was okay.

A full glass of wine and half a cup of tea is the etiquette at the wine table.

Since Wu Liushui agreed, the deputy director poured Li Yuanlang's wine and turned around to fill it up with Ji Tianhou.

When everyone poured the wine, Ji Tianhou first raised his glass to Li Yuanlang and said, "Mayor Li, on behalf of your old subordinates in Wuma County, I propose a toast to you. Just take a sip, and I'll take half a cup."

The county magistrate drank half of it, but his subordinates could not follow him, so they drank it all in one gulp.
Chapter completed!
