Chapter 1328 The Big Matters Are the Big Matters
"There is a bath center on the tenth floor of the hotel. After your meal, you can take a steam in the sauna, enjoy high-standard massage services, and have a tea break. It is very convenient. If you need it, I will make a reservation for you."
"Let's eat first. I'll call you if I need anything."
After sending the man away, Li Yuanlang frowned, and his words showed that the Meijia Hotel was anything but simple.
The 888 yuan set menu includes six dishes and two soups.
The number of dishes is small but very exquisite. There are a lot of things in the two soups, which is said to be very tonic.
The waiter was not allowed to serve, and when only Li Yuanlang and Fang Yan were left, Li Yuanlang sighed: "People are reluctant to enjoy such expensive things. So, the people who come here are either rich or expensive, who is responsible for their consumption?"
Paying the bill? This is a thought-provoking topic.”
Fang Yan scratched his head and said from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest with you, secretary, I have never eaten such good food since I was a child. Anyway, with my consumption power, I don't dare to try it."
"So, this Meijia Hotel deserves to be taken seriously. Xiaofang, eat, I'm really hungry." Li Yuanlang picked up the chopsticks first.
He said he was hungry, but actually he didn't eat much.
Although it is exquisite and tastes good, Li Yuanlang was born with a common stomach, and home-cooked food is to his liking, so forget it.
After taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and pointed at the dishes on the table, "Xiao Fang, eat slowly, I'll go out for a while."
Fang Yan looked at the bathroom in the private room and knew what Li Yuanlang was doing.
He didn't follow, and immersed himself in eating.
Li Yuanlang had just walked to the door when he heard a knock on the door.
Who is this?
Li Yuanlang opened the door and was shocked to see a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses standing at the door.
He is not tall, a little fat, and his small eyes turn into two crescents due to his smile.
"Secretary Li, hello, I am the general manager of this hotel. My surname is Hao, Hao Changliang." As he spoke, he presented an exquisite business card with both hands.
Li Yuanlang took it, glanced at it, and murmured: "Mr. Hao, what are you..."
"Secretary Li, it is a great honor for us that you can dine with us and make the hotel shine. In order to show the hotel's respect for you, we have specially prepared several special dishes for you to taste and give us."
Only then did Li Yuanlang realize that there was a row of waiters standing behind Hao Changliang, each holding a tray in his hand.
Officials don't hit people with smiling faces. Seeing this scene, Li Yuanlang had no choice but to turn back and sit down in his original position.
With a gesture from Hao Changliang, the waiter placed eight exquisite dishes on the table, as well as a bottle of Lafite.
"Secretary Li, these are specially prepared for you by our hotel. Please use them slowly and I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will be here at your call."
Hao Changliang was about to walk out, but Li Yuanlang stopped him, "Mr. Hao, we don't drink. Please take this bottle of wine back."
"Secretary Li, this..." Hao Changliang looked embarrassed.
Li Yuanlang said resolutely: "If you don't remove the wine, we won't eat these dishes. In addition, we will charge you as much as you need for this meal. If you waive a penny, I won't agree to it."
"Okay." Hao Changliang nodded repeatedly, motioned to the waiter to take away the bottle of Lafite, and carefully exited the private room with a smile on his face.
The room was quiet as people walked around, and Fang Yan raised his head warily to observe the private room.
Li Yuanlang asked: "What are you looking for? Are you looking for a surveillance camera?"
"Hmm." Fang Yan said worriedly: "I'm afraid they will install this thing here, otherwise how will they find you?"
Li Yuanlang shook his head slightly, "We often receive dignitaries here. If the hotel dares to do this, who will come here to spend money. I suspect that they must have discovered us through the camera in the corridor."
Fang Yan suddenly realized, "Secretary, these dishes..." He was referring to the eight dishes presented by Hao Changliang.
"Of course I did." Li Yuanlang complained: "If you don't eat, wouldn't you let down the hotel? It cost eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars, and I couldn't bear to eat just that little food. Now, let's open up.
eat."
He set an example and took the first step to put a chopstick into his mouth.
Fang Yan was made happy by Li Yuanlang's operation and asked casually: "Secretary, that bottle of Lafite should be worth a lot of money, right?"
"Well, it's very expensive, probably tens of thousands." Li Yuanlang said: "We ate the complimentary dishes in the hotel and the store because their hotel is a place for cooking. But Lafite is different. They don't offer this kind of wine.
It is produced and needs to be purchased. If you drink this bottle of wine, its nature will change and it will be true to your words."
"If I refuse them all, it will definitely arouse Hao Changliang's vigilance. To be able to entertain city cadres, this hotel must have a profound background. Without understanding it at this stage, rashly offending them is not a good option."
"I understand." Fang Yan learned another trick from Li Yuanlang, to retreat in order to deceive others and deceive the other party.
After dinner, Li Yuanlang asked Fang Yan to pay the bill.
The hotel only charged 888 yuan and waived the private room service fee.
Li Yuanlang didn't care too much, fearing that if he cares too much, he would lose more than he gained.
Hao Changliang personally escorted Li Yuanlang and Fang Yan out and wanted to send a car to see them off, but Li Yuanlang politely declined.
Li Yuanlang originally planned to take the opportunity to walk around the hotel and maybe find something.
But because his identity was exposed, he had no choice but to give up.
I took a taxi to a house located in the municipal party committee residential area, with an area of 100 square meters on the third floor.
He is the only one on each floor, and there is an elevator.
Fang Yan's residence has also been arranged, in the previous building, so that he can serve Li Yuanlang at any time.
Taking off his coat, Li Yuanlang walked into the study, dug out the contacts on his mobile phone, picked up the landline and dialed a number.
Soon, a man's voice came from the other party: "Secretary Li, are you still up so late?"
"I can't sleep." Li Yuanlang said with emotion: "The first day I arrived at work, I met two people in the afternoon and read some information. Finally, at about six o'clock, I went to the Meijia Hotel for a luxurious meal.
.”
"It is said that the Meijia Hotel often receives city officials. Unexpectedly, Hao Changliang found out that he sent eight dishes. If you don't finish them, it will be a waste. Political Commissar Bian, what do you think of the Meijia Hotel?"
The other party was Bian Qingwei, political commissar of the Lanqiao Military Division.
He smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Li's trick of conducting private visits incognito is that you are in the open and others are in the dark. Ni can't find them, but they can easily find you."
"Since it is a place to receive officials, it is equivalent to half of the municipal committee. You know all the big and small things in the city. I estimate that from the moment you stepped into Meijia, you have already fallen under the surveillance radar."
The reason why Bian Qingwei spoke out was that before Li Yuanlang took office, he received a call from Yang Liang, commander of the Provincial Military Region.
He was clearly informed that Li Yuanlang would be given close cooperation.
Okay, Commander Li Guanhua is a guest at home, how dare Bian Qingwei neglect him.
Therefore, Bian Qingwei said everything he knew about Li Yuanlang's questions without hiding anything.
"So, the identity of the owner of Meijia Hotel is definitely not simple."
Bian Qingwei admitted: "It is indeed not an ordinary person. Meijia Hotel is a subsidiary of Pinyuan Group."
"That's it." Li Yuanlang sighed: "No wonder, Pinyuan Group is a star enterprise in our city. It has a wide range of businesses and is a group company that started from real estate."
"Yes." Bian Qingwei agreed: "Qian Pinzheng, the chairman of Pinyuan Group, was born as a farmer. In his early years, he was just a small contractor. With his flexible mind and unique vision, he made his first pot of gold by contracting the Jiangbin Community.
After setting up a real estate company and catching up with good policies, the company grew bigger and bigger, leading to today's achievements."
"Yes, Qian Pinzheng is also a capable person." Li Yuanlang said: "Political Commissar Bian, thank you for providing the information. I planned to have a good chat with you, but..."
Bian Qingwei understood: "Secretary Li, I understand what you mean. Next month, you will take office as the first secretary of the Municipal Military Division Party Committee, and we will contact you again then."
Don't forget that Bian Qingwei is a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee, and his main focus is on the army.
If he has frequent contact with Li Yuanlang, he will be criticized for meddling in local affairs.
However, according to the agenda, after Li Yuanlang concurrently serves as the first secretary of the Lanqiao Municipal Military Division Party Committee early next month, it will be natural for him to contact Bian Qingwei.
At present, it is normal for local leaders to concurrently serve as the first secretary of the local military party committee.
One is to highlight the party committee’s absolute leadership of the troops; the other is to contribute to positive interaction, synchronous development, and better promote military-civilian integration.
Moreover, the first secretary of the party committee does not participate in the specific affairs of the army and is only responsible for party building.
