"Li Zhen, what do you mean?" Zhang Yaozong was taken aback.

Li Xiuyuan lowered his voice and gave Zhang Yaozong a few instructions. Zhang Yaozong's expression immediately became very interesting. After listening, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Li Zhen, will this work?"

"Why not? Listen to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yaozong pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Li Zhen, I'll go prepare the materials."

“Okay, go ahead.” Li Xiuyuan nodded.

After seeing Zhang Yaozong off, Li Xiuyuan sat in a chair, pondering his plan.

At eleven o'clock, Zhang Yaozong came over with a folder and handed it to Li Xiuyuan, who nodded.

After finishing get off work at noon, Li Xiuyuan organized the company's bidding documents and got up a little late to go to the cafeteria for lunch. As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria entrance, he ran into Hou Peng coming out of the cafeteria.

Li Xiuyuan greeted Hou Peng with a smile: "Mayor, have you eaten?"

Hou Peng paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and brushed past Hou Peng as he entered the cafeteria.

Hou Peng was left standing there in a daze. He had waited all morning, but Li Xiuyuan hadn't come. Then they bumped into each other at noon, and Li Xiuyuan greeted him with a smile.

Could it be that Li Xiuyuan was completely unaware that he had changed his mind, and that Wang Yonghua hadn't told Li Xiuyuan about it?

It seems like this is the only explanation, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Li Xiuyuan didn't question me, and even greeted me with a smile. Is Li Xiuyuan really that good-tempered?

Hou Peng couldn't figure it out. After returning to his office, he kept thinking about it and decided to ask Wang Yonghua what was going on.

So Hou Peng called Wang Yonghua, wanting to arrange a meeting, but on the phone, Wang Yonghua started making excuses and refusing to meet.

Wang Yonghua felt there was nothing to talk about with Hou Peng. Since Hou Peng had abandoned him without regard for his own feelings, what was there for them to discuss? In the end, it was only after Hou Peng repeatedly asked that Wang Yonghua finally agreed.

He said he would come back to the town government to find Hou Peng after dinner.

After Li Xiuyuan finished eating, he went back to his dormitory to rest, while Hou Peng stayed in his office. It wasn't until almost time for work in the afternoon that Wang Yonghua came to Hou Peng's office. He had drunk some alcohol at noon and smelled strongly of alcohol.

Hou Peng frowned. Judging from his appearance, Wang Yonghua had drunk quite a bit. Knowing that he had something to discuss with him, he still drank at the table and made him wait. If it had been before yesterday, Hou Peng would definitely have criticized Wang Yonghua and said some harsh words to give him a warning.

However, since he felt he had wronged Wang Yonghua regarding the bidding process, Hou Peng held back and poured Wang Yonghua a cup of tea.

"Yonghua, have some tea to sober up."

"Thank you, Mayor. What brings you here?" Wang Yonghua asked Hou Peng directly, his tone carrying a hint of distance.

Hou Peng closed the office door and looked directly at Wang Yonghua, asking, "Yonghua, I called you here to ask you if you told Li Xiuyuan about what happened last night."
