Anyway, I’m going back to Deping tomorrow, so I’ll make plans then.

Without drinking, the meal was over within an hour.

After coming out of the restaurant, Mu Guangsen told Li Yuanlang that he had booked a room at the Wanhai Hotel for Li Yuanlang online.

After driving Li Yuanlang to the hotel porch, Mu Guangsen wanted to send Li Yuanlang up, but was stopped by Li Yuanlang.

"Go back, Zixin is still waiting for you at home, just remember to pick me up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Seeing Li Yuanlang's insistence, Mu Guangsen had no choice but to drive away.

Li Yuanlang walked into the hotel lobby and went straight to the front desk.

While checking in, I suddenly heard someone say from behind: "Li...Mayor Li, why are you here?"

The voice sounded familiar. Li Yuanlang turned around and saw that it was Liao Jingjing.

She wore a little makeup, obviously dressed up deliberately, but she couldn't hide her haggard look.

Standing next to Liao Jingjing was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a medium build and wearing glasses, who looked like a scholar.

Hearing Li Yuanlang's name, the man hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand to say hello, "Mayor Li, we just talked on the phone, but I didn't know you were in Haixin City. I didn't entertain you. I apologize."

Liao Jingjing told Li Yuanlang: "This is my father."

Li Yuanlang already guessed from the voice, "So you are the famous Chairman Liao."

While shaking hands and exchanging greetings, Liao Benxiang learned that Li Yuanlang was checking in, and said: "Mayor Li has contributed a lot to Jingjing's safe return this time. I happened to have an appointment with a few friends to get together here, so it's better to be there sooner than later."

By chance, I invite Mayor Li to join us at the table. Even if we have a sip of tea, it will be a token of our family's gratitude."

Li Yuanlang waved his hands repeatedly, "Chairman Liao, you're welcome. I've already had dinner and have to rush back to Deping City tomorrow. You friends, enjoy yourself, but I won't participate."

Liao Benxiang said: "Mayor Li is picking on me. I really didn't know you were in Haixin. Otherwise, I would definitely thank you very much."

Liao Jingjing also persuaded: "Mayor Li, I can escape thanks to your care. You must drink this glass of wine. Also, there are some things I want to tell you."

Having said that, it would be unreasonable for Li Yuanlang to refuse.

What's more, he also wanted to learn more through contact with the Liao family and his daughter.

Half pushing and half taking it, Li Yuanlang followed Liao Benxiang and Liao Jingjing to the second floor and entered a luxurious private room.

In the splendid private room, four people were talking at this time.

As soon as they came in, they all gathered around.

Liao Benxiang introduced Li Yuanlang to everyone one after another.

These people are all local businessmen in Haixin City, either bosses or managers.

Businessmen all like to deal with politicians, and they never know when they will come in handy.

Moreover, Li Yuanlang is also the mayor of Deping, a well-known and powerful figure.

So when everyone shook hands and got to know each other, they handed over their business cards one after another.

There is a familiar face here.

His name is Miao Lianggeng, general manager of Zhongjing Group, and one of the members of this visiting delegation.

At first, Miao Lianggeng was a little surprised, but he soon returned to normal.

He shook Li Yuanlang's right hand tightly with both hands and said with emotion: "Mayor Li, looking at your rosy complexion and high energy, I know that you are a blessed person."

To outsiders, these words are nothing more than words of flattery.

But those who are familiar with the inside story will definitely guess what Miao Lianggeng is referring to.

After a moment of humility, Liao Benxiang resolutely let Li Yuanlang sit on his right hand side as a sign of respect.

Helpless, Li Yuanlang couldn't sit down without others, so he had to do as he pleased.

There were seven people present, but there was one empty seat.

Li Yuanlang asked in confusion: "Chairman Liao, do you have any friends who haven't come yet?"

Liao Benxiang looked at his watch and said, "It should be here soon. Let's eat and wait."

As the waiters came in one after another, the large round table was quickly filled with various dishes.

Li Yuanlang did not drink white wine, so Liao Benxiang arranged for several bottles of fine red wine.

He purchased this from a foreign winery. It is considered a high-quality product and must be quite expensive.

Just as Liao Benxiang was picking up his wine glass to make his opening remarks, the private room door opened and a man came in. He clasped his hands and apologized repeatedly, "Dr. Liao, everyone, I'm really sorry. I was delayed. I'm late. Please forgive me."

&n                                                                Liao Benxiang stood up and introduced to Li Yuanlang: "Mayor Li, this is Mr. Jian Ming Kuan Jian..."

Before he could finish his words, Jian Mingkuan said quickly: "Mayor Li is my parent, how could I not know."

Li Yuanlang had only heard of Jian Mingkuan, but this was the first time he saw him in person.

I couldn't help but look at it carefully.

He is short, thin, in his forties, with a straight face and a pointed chin, especially his triangular eyes, which give him the first impression of being cunning and smooth.

I really can't believe that his son Jian Rui is tall, fair and clean, and how could Jian Mingkuan look so honorable.

Because Li Yuanlang insisted on fairness when dealing with Jian Rui, he was not happy with Jian Mingkuan.

It's just that in this case, all superficial efforts must be done.

The two shook hands and said concisely and with a broad smile: "Mayor Li has turned disaster into good fortune and good fortune in every situation. He will definitely make great achievements in the future and have a bright future."

Li Yuanlang responded calmly, "Mr. Jian, each other."

This sentence was not much, but it choked Jian Mingkuan to the point where he almost lost his breath.

I cursed in my heart, bah bah bah, who is talking to you? I don’t want anyone to take him for investigation and interrogation.

Back at the banquet, Liao Benxiang gave the opening remarks first.

Naturally, they all thanked and complimented Li Yuanlang, and praised him very highly.

Everyone agreed, and for a while, Li Yuanlang became the protagonist of the banquet.

I didn't plan to drink too much, but I couldn't stand it as everyone took turns toasting.

Li Yuanlang is the mayor himself, and his dealings with business people will help him achieve success in attracting investment in the future.

After going back and forth, Li Yuanlang became a little drunk.

"Jingjing." Liao Benxiang reminded: "Mayor Li has helped our family so much, especially you, you have to show your sincerity no matter what."

The strange thing is that Liao Jingjing's reaction was a little special tonight. She remained silent from beginning to end, as if she had something on her mind.

Since her father reminded her, Liao Jingjing picked up her wine glass and said politely: "Mayor Li, I respect you."

"Okay." Li Yuanlang and Liao Jingjing gently clinked their wine glasses and each took a small sip.

At this moment, Jian Jingkuan, who had been silent, walked up to Li Yuanlang, raised his goblet and said, "Mayor Li, regarding Xiao Rui's matter, you have been upright and upright, upheld justice, and helped me successfully educate Xiao Rui.

A child who strives for success. Let him undergo a month of reform in prison, change his mind, and become a new person. I respect you for this glass of wine."

Liao Benxiang, who was on the side, heard that something was wrong and quickly tried to persuade him: "Ming Kuan, Mayor Li drank a lot, so you have to be honest."

"That's not possible." Jian Mingkuan firmly denied, "Everyone else's wine has been drunk. If Mayor Li doesn't drink my wine, he just looks down on me."

Li Yuanlang was very disgusted with Jian Mingkuan's aggressive posture.

He said patiently: "Since Mr. Jian thanks me for helping you educate your son, I will definitely accept your kindness. Okay, I'll drink."

He was about to raise his glass, but was stopped by Jian Mingkuan, "It's boring to drink such sour and bitter foreign stuff. As a man, if you want to drink, you have to drink white wine."

Then he called the waiter over, opened a bottle of Wuliangye, pointed to two empty wine glasses on the tray, "Mayor Li, I'll toast you three glasses in a row."

After that, he asked the waiter to fill it up, and without saying a word, he drank three of the one-tael wine glasses in one go.

He also lit up the bottom of the glass, which meant that he was not cheating and drank it all.

After that, Jian Mingkuancai said: "The three glasses of wine just now are from me, and the next glass is from me, Mayor Li."

Li Yuanlang saw Jian Mingkuan's little thought, using drinking as an excuse to save face was fake, but venting his dissatisfaction with himself was real.

Although he was a little dizzy, his mind was still clear.

"Okay." Li Yuanlang slowly stood up, took another glass of wine, faced Liao Benxiang and everyone, and finally drank it all in front of Jian Mingkuan.

"Happy!" Everyone clapped their hands.

Jian Mingkuan didn't want to let Li Yuanlang go, so he immediately asked someone to pour him a second glass, "Good things come in pairs, I'll toast to you again."

Liao Benxiang really couldn't stand the concise and wide-ranging performance of Li Yuanlang.

He stood up and tried to persuade him, "Ming Kuan, all of us here today are friends. Wouldn't it be better if we all talk about business together and learn about policy trends with Mayor Li? If you want to drink, find a place someday, and I'll drink with you to the fullest.
