Chapter 1010: Offending Ye Sheng

me an ordinary person, just so you can bully me afterwards. 。After spending so many years at the police station, I know all too well the ways of people like Song Guoming, Qin Pei, and Wang Guilong. 。...Ye Fengnian walked into the restaurant, and the people following him naturally followed. 。Chen Hong glanced back at Xiao Zheng before entering. 。It had been a while since they last met. Compared to their last encounter, Xiao Zheng had hardly changed, but his eyes held more calmness and world-weariness, which somehow made this man even more charming. 。Perhaps, later on, she could go find him. 。Fang Ya was also going to dinner with Ye Fengnian, but she walked at the back and said to Xiao Zheng: "Wait a minute, if I finish there early, I'll come find you" 。"Xiao Zheng said, 'It might not be late here either.'" 。“Today's reception in Shu Zhong should be just a formality, everyone will just go through the motions. If we were truly serious about it, it wouldn't be right.” 。Moreover, the purpose of this trip is very clear: to find Ma Hanzhan. If Ma Hanzhan's work there can be done by others, then tell him that this trip is to bring him back. 。So, eating, drinking, and sightseeing are not the main points. 。Liu Shisen said: "Let's talk about it then." 。Fan Ya then smiled at Xiao Zheng and walked into the restaurant. 。He Xiliang, Xiao Zheng, and Hao Qi entered the restaurant with Liu Shisen. The interior was also a mix of Chinese and Western styles. The lintel above the private room door read "Emei," indicating that the rooms were named after famous scenic spots in Shu. Stepping inside, they found modern sofas, high-footed glasses, and flowers, all shimmering brightly or vibrantly under the lights. 。Today, the Propaganda Department of the Sichuan Provincial Committee received Liu Shisen with a high level of formality. Ding Shengjian, deputy secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee, personally accompanied him. In addition, Meng Dalin, deputy minister, Ni Zhongwen, director of the office, and Jin Xiran, a beautiful female department head, also attended. 。Xiao Zheng guessed that Ding Shengjian should know a little about Liu Shisen's background, otherwise, with just the director coming down, it would have been enough for the deputy minister to accompany him. 。

Ding Shengjian invited Liu Shisen to sit beside him while smiling warmly: "Director Liu, I'd like to report that the Jiangzhong delegation happened to come today. Our Governor Yuan asked me to accompany them together. I told Governor Yuan that I was really embarrassed because our superior in Huajing, Director Liu, has arrived. Of course, I have to accompany my superiors on this line." 。The governor listened and agreed, saying I should take good care of Director Liu first and wait for him to come over later to toast. 。"Liu Shisen said: “Here, it doesn't really matter. If Minister Ding had told me in advance, I could have gone to accompany the leaders from Jiangzhong. We're family, so we don't need to worry about this.” 。"Liu Shisen was being polite, but Ding Shengjian placed his hand on Liu Shisen's left wrist: "That won't do! Director Liu is not only my superior but also a good friend. I definitely have to keep you company." 。He patted Liu Shisen's wrist lightly twice before withdrawing his hand, as a gesture of friendship distinct from the ordinary. 。Liu Shisen smiled calmly and said, "Then I'll trouble Minister Ding." 。At this time, the office director Ni Zhongwen held three bottles of liquor to Ding Shengjian and asked, "Minister Ding, which one would you like us to drink today This is Wuliangjiu, this one is Qinghualang, and this one is named after a year." 。"That depends on the guest," 。"Which one would you like, Director Liu We should probably avoid drinking too much. There was an earthquake in Shu, and many ordinary people are likely still struggling. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to drink heavily." 。"As for the leader, there's no need to worry. " 。"Ding Sheng Jian Dao, 'Sichuan is the hometown of white liquor, we have plenty of it here. If guests come and you don't offer them wine, then as a host, you are being too inhospitable. This isn't the Sichuan way of hospitality.'" 。。Liu Shisen said: “Then we’ll go with the flow and follow local customs. We can just say it’s for keeping warm and dry. As for which kind of wine to drink, I don’t have much research on that, so please decide Minister Ding.” 。In fact, the Wuliangjiu, Qinghualang, and jiaojiao in front of me are all high-end good wines. 。Ding Shengjian then said, "Well then, let's open these three bottles and try them. We won't drink much, just finish these three bottles and call it a day." 。More than ten people, three bottles of high-grade liquor, it's not too much. Liu Shisen didn't have any objections. 。As for Xiao Zheng, it doesn't matter what he drinks or how many bottles he drinks, he's not interested anyway.

As for He Xinliang and Hao Qi, ever since they missed Huang GuoWei because of drinking, they haven't been very keen on drinking. They even have a bit of a "fear of the rope after falling into the well" attitude. Luckily, the minister said that with so many people, only three bottles were drunk, which was still manageable. 。

At the dinner, when Xiao Zheng said he only drank tea, Ding Shengjian asked why. Hao Qi helped explain, but Ding Shengjian replied, “That's not scientific! Poverty alleviation and drinking are not the same thing. Drinking can make you more energetic and might even help you alleviate poverty sooner.” 。Perhaps we need our beautiful ladies to help pour wine for our esteemed Minister Xiao. Chief Jin, please go and help pour some drinks!

"Okay, Minister Ding." 。I'll go pour some wine for our Minister Xiao. While we might not drink in other places, here in Sichuan, it's a must! 。Here, water is the blood of wine and grain its flesh. While we say we drink 'wine', in truth we drink water and eat grain. 。Jin Xiran stood up briskly. The petite, graceful physique of a Sichuan girl, coupled with her eloquence and strong personality, was evident for all to see. 。If Jin Xiran were to walk up to Xiao Zheng and he rejected her, it would be a huge insult to her. 。Liu Shisen stood up and quickly walked to Jin Xinan's side. He placed his hand on her shoulder, took the cup from her hand, and said, "Director Jin, please don't pour wine for Comrade Xiao Zheng. He doesn't know how to cherish beauty. Just pour me some." 。This pot of wine, I have drunk. 。Jin Xinran felt Liu Shisen's hand on her shoulder, and her body was as if struck by electricity. 。You have to know that Liu Shisen is the Director of Hua Jing Propaganda Department, his position is several levels higher than Jin Xinran's. Moreover, the Minister came out in person today to accompany him, it shows that Liu Shisen's background is definitely extraordinary. Liu Shisen seems to have a good impression of her, even though Jin Xinran is already married, she can't help but be overjoyed. She no longer insists on pouring wine for Xiao Zheng, but accompanies Liu Shisen to his seat and pours him a drink. 。Liu Shisen also proactively toasted Jin Xiner. She gazed at Liu Shisen and drank it all in one gulp before sitting down. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, Liu Shisen was truly a loyal brother. In order to protect him, he even sacrificed his reputation and identity. 。Ding Shengjian saw Liu Shisen's actions and felt that Liu Shisen was deliberately protecting Xiao Zheng. He stopped forcing Xiao Zheng to drink. Those who could drink continued drinking. 。

The private room next door is much more lavishly decorated than this one. 。The governor of Shu Province hosted a banquet for the governor of Jiang Province, naturally making the atmosphere even more lively. 。The Sichuan province has recently suffered a major disaster, with all affected areas in a state of disarray and in dire need of both funding and projects. However, the provincial economy is not robust to begin with, and the disaster has caused significant losses. Without money, nothing can be done. While the national government has issued policies and organized aid from provinces and cities nationwide, the reality is that not every province or city has the capacity to assist. Some are struggling financially themselves, and any aid they offer would require tightening their own belts. Even when providing assistance, they often feel constrained. 。Only wealthy provinces and cities like Huajing, Zhonghai, Yuizhou, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi can bring large projects and provide substantial financial support!tive Who are they You need to get to the bottom of this. 。Comrade Tan Zhen, I assign you the task of investigating this situation! If anything happens, contact Secretary Tan immediately!"Hearing this...
