Chapter 673: Arousing Interest

already in the car. These rough teas are not to be disliked by both leaders." 。I don't have much here either. 。"Shān Chuāngbái and Zhèng Yīxióng glanced at each other and both said, “Mr. Wang is bei...Liu Yongshi didn't expect the provincial Party Secretary Jiang Kuang to personally invite Gu Cuiping, Xiao Zheng and others to dinner, but he wasn't called along with Zhang Wei and him, the deputy commander. 。I feel quite unbalanced. 。After returning to the command center, Liu Yongzhi rushed straight to Commander Zhang Wei's office: "Those bastards in Ninggan are not good people!" As Liu Yongzhi was now Zhang Wei's right-hand man, seeing him so angry naturally caught Zhang Wei's attention. 。"What's wrong" Zhang Wei took out a "Jiangnan of the Saddle Region" gold edition cigarette from the drawer and tossed one to Liu Yongshi. "Smoke a cigarette first, calm down." 。"Then, tell me, what happened"

Liu Yongwei lit a cigarette, took a hard drag, and blew out a stream of smoke beside him. He crossed his legs opposite Zhang Wei and said, "Today, Jiang Kui, the provincial Party secretary, invited guests to dinner, including Gu Cuiping and Xiao Zheng, but didn't invite us..." 。Have they forgotten 1 billion yuan of aid to Ning, who gave it to them!"

Zhang Wei also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled before saying: "There may be a reason behind this Usually, we have more contact with Shānchuān Bái, and our contact with Secretary Jiāng is less. 。We don't know much about Jiang Kui Gang's personality, character, or the situation behind him. 。We actually don't know if he and Shan Chuan Bai are on the same path. 。Not eating hastily is not necessarily a bad thing. 。Upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, Liu Yong swore to himself of the box of Ninggan red wine and the stacks of RMB underneath it. He couldn't help but recall the golden lacquered box inscribed "Shandong Jiangnan" which held not cigarettes, but tightly rolled hundred yuan bills. 。There is no doubt that both he and Zhang Wei took them. 。All of these are related to Shānchuān Bái, but whether Jiāng Kuí just knows it is probably not certain. 。So, Zhang Wei does make some sense. Some meals are better left uneaten for now. 。Liu Yongshi said: "Good, Commander Zhang, you make sense. I won't interfere in this matter anymore." 。"Zhang Wei smiled and shook his head slightly, saying:"It's not that I don't want to take care of..." 。We still need to keep an eye on things. Could you find some time tomorrow to check with the Governor of Shanshan Province What did they have for dinner today "Liu Yong nodded in understanding: “Oh, I see.” 。"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!”

When Gu Cuiping, Xiao Zheng and the other two arrived at the private room of the hotel, Shan Chuanbai was already waiting inside. 。Hearing footsteps, Shan Chuanbai thought that Provincial Secretary Jiang Kui and the distinguished guest from Beijing had arrived. He hurried out to greet them, his smile plastered on his face as if it were free of charge. 。

He went to the door and saw that it was Gu Cuiping, Xiao Zheng, Jin Quansheng, and Jiang Xiaohui. Shan Chuanbai's smile froze for a moment before he said, "Secretary Gu is here too." 。Gu Cuiping said: "Shan, the governor is good" 。“Xiao Zheng, Jin Quan Sheng, and Jiang Xiao Hui also politely said: ‘Greetings to Governor Shan!’

At this time, a woman walked in. It was Wang Lan, deputy director of the Ning Gan provincial reception office. She first greeted all the leaders and then reported: ‘Secretary Jiang has arrived.’” 。Voices could be heard from outside, so everyone went to the hallway to greet them. 。Ninggang Provincial Party Secretary Jiang Kuang arrived with a middle-aged man walking side by side. Xiao Zheng recognized the man, it was Fang Ya's cousin and Liu Shisen, the head of the Cultural Department of Beijing Propaganda Department. 。Jiang Kuigang is a typical northerner with a tall and broad frame; Liu Shisen isn't short either, but compared to Jiang, his shoulders are slightly narrower and his skin is smoother. Even so, the taller Jiang Kuigang appears especially polite towards Liu Shisen. 。Behind Jiang Kui and Liu Shisen stood Fang Ya, looking calm and relaxed. She still had her signature short hair, fair skin with a healthy glow, and eyes that sparkled brighter than anyone else's. However, she chose to wear a black windbreaker, hands tucked in the pockets, giving off an air of casual indifference. 。Xiao Zheng had seen countless women, and in the presence of high-ranking officials, they were all restrained and nervous. Fang Ya's casualness, naturalness, and honesty were truly rare. 。Not only that, when Fang Ya's eyes met Xiao Zheng's, she even winked at him mischievously! Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Thankfully, no one noticed, otherwise, people might think too much! Xiao Zheng could only smile at her and avoid any further eye contact. 。。Xiao Zheng guessed that this person should be the geologist Fang Ya mentioned

Besides, there was also Li Deshu, a standing committee member and Minister of Propaganda of the Ninggan Provincial Committee, and Cao Guang, the director of the Ninggan Provincial Reception Office, who also came together. 。Shan Chuan Bai Mang called out: "Secretary Jiang, greetings to the leaders from Beijing!" 。"Jiang Kui nodded and glanced at the crowd. "If everyone is here, let's just sit down! I'll introduce you all again." 。Of course, no one would object. 。At this time, the director of the reception office, Cao Guang, and deputy director Wang Lan got busy, welcoming everyone to take a seat. 。The dinner attended by the leaders naturally had very particular seating arrangements. 。Today, Jiang Kui was the host, naturally sitting in the main seat, and then he asked Liu Shisen, the director of the Beijing Bureau of Arts and Culture, to sit in the position for distinguished guests. 。Originally, according to position, the order should have been Li Deshu, member of the Ninggan Provincial Committee and Minister of Propaganda, Shan Chuanbai, Executive Deputy Governor, and Gu Cuiping. 。However, Jiang Kui was polite and asked Yu Ning command party secretary Gu Cuiping to sit on the other side of him: "Secretary Gu, you come here to sit, you represent Jiangzhong!" Gu Cuiping politely declined, but since the provincial Party Secretary had spoken, others naturally wouldn't dare to take that seat! Wang Lan, deputy director of the reception office, persuaded Gu Cuiping to take a seat, and she sat down. 。Liu Shisen asked his cousin Fang Ya to sit beside him. Shan Chuanbai saw that Fang Ya was beautiful, and since he had been to Ninggan before, he could get close to her. With a beauty by his side, the wine went down easier. 。Shan Chuan Bai just came to Fang Ya's side, and was about to sit down. 。As his position as Vice Governor, he could have easily sat in front of Fang Ya. His gesture of letting Fang Ya sit at the head of the table is a sign of respect and courtesy towards her. 。So, logically, he should sit next to Fang Ya, and Fang Ya should be grateful. 。

Reception Office director Cao Guang and deputy director Wang Lan didn't think there was anything wrong. 。However, before the mountains and rivers could settle down, Fang Ya said to Xiao Zheng, "Xiao Secretary, come sit here for a while. We haven't seen each other in ages. I have something to tell you." 。“Xiao Zheng was taken aback.” 。The mountains and rivers were all pale, it was a moment of awkward silence. 。Is it really a good idea to go over there If I just sit beside Fang Ya, I'll obviously be disrespecting Shan Chuan Bai and offending him. 。But what if you offend Shān Chuān Bái Think about today in Shān Chuān Bái's office, did Shān Chuān Bái give him and Gǔ Shūjì face Did he consider the poverty of Báoyuán County This kind of person, even if you give him face again, even if you lower yourself to him, he will think it is his due. 。

Besides, if he didn't dare to sit down himself, he would be letting Fang Ya's kindness go to waste. He was afraid that Fang Ya would look down on him. 。Thinking this way, Xiao Zheng readily smiled and said, “Good, Minister Fang, I’ll be there right away! I also have something to report to you!” Xiao Zheng walked over and sat down next to Fang Ya. 。The moment he sat down, the fragrance emanating from Fang Ya's body was so soothing and indescribable. 。"That's good, that's good, it's been a long time, we should catch up." 。Shanchuan gave himself a step down, walked to the opposite side and sat down. 。The others then sat down one by one. 。Then, Jiang Kaigang, the secretary of Ninggan Province, introduced everyone. 。Shan Chuanbai heard that Liu Shisen was only the director of the Ministry of Culture and Publicity's Department, and he was very surprised. A mere director coming to visit Did Secretary Jiang have to make such a big fuss to receive him! A director is only equivalent to a provincial-level department head. According to his level, Shan Chuanbai didn't need to show up himself. It would be enough for the Ministry of Culture and Publicity to receive him, or even Director Li Deshu personally welcoming him would be a great honor!re expressions of approval and satisfaction. 。Jiang Zhonghua, the secretary, said: “'Gambling, drugs and prostitution' activities are unsustainable economic behaviors that corrupt social morals and h...
