After Li Xiaoning finished drinking a round of wine, he was about to pick up his chopsticks and take a few bites of the food when he heard a arrogant voice, "I just heard the boss lady say outside that someone was cheating here today? Who do I think I was cheated by? It turned out to be
Zhao Aihua, what? Are you rich? I’m telling you, I’m going to invite an important guest here today, so please move the place for me as soon as possible.”
Following the words, a fair-faced, beardless middle-aged man walked in. He was in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses, but his facial features were crooked. At first glance, he looked like a scumbag, with a small slit in his eye, revealing an evil look.
The light made people feel sick unconsciously, followed by the fat boss lady.
Most of the people present stood up immediately when they saw the middle-aged man. Zhao Aihua said in shock: "Mayor He, are you back?"
This person is one of the five deputy mayors of Pingshan Town, He Dongliang, who is in charge of investment promotion and economic construction. Although he is the deputy mayor like Li Xiaoning, he is the best among the five deputy mayors.
Sorry, who asked someone to be in charge of attracting investment, while you are in charge of family planning?
He Dongliang glanced at Zhao Aihua, snorted coldly in his nose, and said angrily: "Zhao Aihua, I am going to entertain an important guest from Binhai City here today. It is related to our investment promotion in Pingshan Town. You guys should move quickly."
The place...oh, Xiao Gu will stay for a while to accompany the guests."
After hearing He Dongliang's arrogant words, everyone felt a sense of resentment in their hearts. However, it seemed that they were used to being bullied by this man. Coupled with the thought that their arms could not hold their thighs, some people even started to prepare to go out.
After they left, they made room for He Dongliang. Of course, some people sat still and wanted to see how Li Xiaoning responded.
Li Xiaoning remained silent, watching He Dongliang's performance coldly, and then said slowly: "Mayor He, everything has a first come, first served basis. I am here to treat everyone to dinner today. If you don't mind, please bring a stool with us.
Sit down. If you still have something to do, please move to another place. We haven't finished eating yet."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, frozen in a dilemma. On one side was the newly appointed "second-generation official" deputy mayor, Qianglong, and on the other side was the arrogant and coaxing veteran deputy mayor, who was a local snake. Who could he offend?
None of them are good.
Zhao Aihua said awkwardly to Li Xiaoning: "Mayor Li, we are all acquaintances. Mayor He has distinguished guests to entertain. If that doesn't work, let's change the place..."
Li Xiaoning shook his head and said: "Today is the first time I invite everyone to dinner in Pingshan Town. How can I change places halfway through the meal? You all sit down. Mayor He has a great reputation and strong ability, so he won't even have a place to eat.
You can’t even eat it, right?”.
Only then did He Dongliang notice Li Xiaoning. He received a call from Zhao Aihua outside today, saying that a new deputy mayor was coming to take office, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Pingshan Town was the poorest in the entire Binhai City.
Town, anyone who has some connections will not be sent here. In other words, everyone who is sent here is sent here, and there is nothing to worry about. Thinking of this, he
He smiled contemptuously and said: "You must be the new Xiao Li, right? Let me tell you, young people will suffer big losses if they don't know how to advance and retreat. The guest I want to invite today is the son of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.
No one can afford to offend him... If you are sensible, please change places quickly."
Li Xiaoning sneered again and again and said, "If I don't make room for you, Mayor He, are you being ignorant? You have so much authority?"
He Dongliang suddenly changed his color, pointed at Li Xiaoning and said sternly: "What kind of attitude do you have?! Is this how you treat your superiors? No matter how big or small you are, no wonder you are sent here..."
Li Xiaoning's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Others respect me a foot, and I respect others a foot. If you want me to have a good attitude toward you, you must first show a good attitude yourself, otherwise I will consider it polite."
Also, when did you become my superior? It seems that our two levels are the same, right? Also, which of your eyes saw that I was sent here?"
He Dongliang is used to being domineering and domineering. He considers himself to be the biggest in Pingshan Town except Pang Weidong and Zhang Erwa. He doesn't even look down on the other deputy mayors. He didn't expect to be beaten by a young man who just took office today.
Fan laughed and couldn't help but get angry. He was about to get angry when suddenly the huge copycat phone in his hand rang. He glanced at the number and immediately changed his face. He answered the phone with a flattering smile and said: "Master Tang, you
We're here! I'll come out to pick you up right away!..." That tone made everyone present get goosebumps.
After He Dongliang answered the phone, he immediately changed his face, looked around at everyone, and said viciously: "Everyone here today, I remember them all. You just wait to be punished."
I thought I was very cool and walked away in a hurry.
Everyone's hearts were suddenly raised again. Zhao Aihua's face turned blue and white, and he didn't know what to say. He Dongliang had been offended now, and he was afraid that he would never have a good life in the future. Gu Yun was also worried.
He said: "Mayor Li, otherwise, we should change the place. Mayor He seems to have important guests coming."
However, Tian Xiuzhen was more in control and said fiercely: "I support Mayor Xiao Li. What does He Dongliang's grandson have to be afraid of? If you are afraid of him, just get out of here. I am not afraid of him. I will stay with Mayor Xiao Li."
here."
However, Li Xiaoning's expression remained unchanged. He asked everyone to sit down again, patted Zhao Aihua on the shoulder and said, "Director Zhao, have a glass of wine and don't be the same as him." He then said to the proprietress who had been watching the excitement on the side: "
Sister, do we still have a few dishes that haven’t been served? Please hurry up. When you’re done, I’ll bring you two more bottles of wine, and also your most expensive Langyatai, which costs 20 yuan a bottle.”
Before everyone's complicated mood calmed down, He Dongliang left and returned, followed by a young man wearing a leather jacket, a ponytail, and big sunglasses. As soon as the young man entered the door, he
He shouted arrogantly: "Who is so awesome in a place where birds don't poop? You won't even let me eat a meal? Stand up and let your young master see!"
Li Xiaoning immediately became happy when he saw this dear man, but he deliberately said coldly: "You have sunglasses on your face, so you pretend to be blind? I'm just sitting here, come and see."
When the young man heard Li Xiaoning's voice, he was stunned on the spot and suddenly took off his sunglasses. Everyone thought he was going to get angry, but the next second, he immediately changed his smile and said with a big smile:
"Oh, my God. Brother, why is it you? This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. My family no longer recognizes my own family." Before he could finish his words, he slapped himself in the mouth again.
"Look at me, I said dirty words in front of you again. I deserve a beating."
At this time, everyone in the room was stunned. This scene was so dramatic that everyone began to speculate about Li Xiaoning's background again. He Dongliang's face turned pale with shock, and he felt such regret in his heart! The young man in front of him
Who is this handsome young man? Even Tang Fei, the son of the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, is busy trying to fawn over him! Didn't he just ask for trouble by treating him like that?
The people in the room began to look at Li Xiaoning with sincere admiration. This Mayor Li is really not an ordinary person. Even the big shots from Binhai respected him! Looking at He Dongliang's disgraced look, it was even more...
Feeling relieved, Zhao Aihua's face began to turn rosy again. It seemed that he had made the right bet this time. Mayor Li's backstage was really not that tough.
He Dongliang stood awkwardly at the door, neither leaving nor leaving.
Li Xiaoning didn't even look at He Dongliang. He rushed to Tang Fei who was standing next to him and said with a smile: "When we meet, you call me mom and brother again, which makes me confused about seniority."
Tang Fei said with a bitter face: "Brother, I was wrong, okay. Just don't make fun of me."
Li Xiaoning picked up the wine glass and said: "Okay, no more joking. Mr. Fei, I heard that you came all the way to our Pingshan Town to help us with construction. For this, I propose a toast to you."
Tang Fei's face changed and he said: "Brother, you call me Young Master Fei, which means you don't forgive me. Okay, I'll drink three drinks as a penalty first and apologize to you, brother!" After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and poured three glasses by himself.
Drink all the wine in one gulp! I guess I drank too much Lafite and Bordeaux, and I was a little uncomfortable with this low-end liquor. After three glasses of wine, Tang Fei choked and coughed, and tears came out.
Everyone clapped and applauded in unison. Seeing that Tang Fei was giving face like this, Li Xiaoning drank a toast very simply, and then said: "Tell me honestly, are you really here to invest this time, or are you here to cheat?"
Tang Fei's eyes flickered, "Brother, you also know me. I will do whatever makes money. This time, I will take a look first. If it is suitable, I will definitely invest."
"Okay, thank you first for your words!" Li Xiaoning nodded and said.
Seeing that there was a gap in the conversation, He Dongliang immediately interjected: "Mayor Li, today is your first day in office. I want to toast you and cheer you up."
Li Xiaoning sat upright without speaking, nor did he pick up the wine glass.
He Dongliang said sarcastically: "Mayor Li looks down on me, a dirtbag."
Before Li Xiaoning could say anything, Bai Dengke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, stared and said, "Mayor Li has been drinking too much and hasn't even eaten a bite of the food. Why are you urging me?"
As the saying goes, nature is easy to change but hard to change. He Dongliang just felt frustrated and immediately forgot about it. He glared at Bai Dengke fiercely and said: "Who do you think you are? I'm talking to Mayor Li. Where is the turn?"
