Chapter 143 144 Director Chen’s High-profile Scene

“You took the time to visit me during your busy schedule and made my and Mulan’s wedding banquet even more glorious. District Chief Shen, please come in.” Xu En had been through many such scenes, and it only took him a second to react.

He leaned over and personally led Shen Min in.

“I’ve always wanted to come and take a look, and today I finally found the opportunity, and I’ll have a drink with the old man.” While talking, Shen Min was also secretly sizing up Xu En.

Xu En was a major taxpayer in Mingfeng District, and he was also good at handling things. Naturally, Shen Min knew him. A few months ago, during the municipal bidding, he leaked the news that Master Chen would go to Xiangcheng.

At that time, several self-employed people in Mingfeng District were there.

Shen Min didn't pay attention to it afterwards. He was busy with government affairs, and it was not his turn to care about Xiangcheng's affairs. It was not until Xu En asked someone to send him a generous gift after returning to Jiangjing that he knew Xu En had gone to Xiangcheng.

However, Shen Min just smiled about it and didn't ask any more questions. Today, he saw

that Xu En was really a genius. He could handle Master Chen by just going to Xiangcheng.

Thinking of this, his smile became even warmer, and he became friendly with Xu En: "During the holiday, it's too formal to call District Chief Shen. I'm a few years older than you, so you can take advantage of me and call me big brother." As

the two of them talked back and forth, Xu En knew why District Chief Shen came here. The word "drinking" made his heart tense. This was...

Shen Min's appearance was the top priority of the Xu family, and someone immediately reported it to Old Lady Xu.

In the banquet hall, Mrs. Xu, who was sitting at the main table, had her eyes closed, and the red sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand were spinning one by one. Butler Xu leaned down nervously and whispered something in her ear.

"District Chief Shen is here?" Mrs. Xu's eyes suddenly squinted, and the Buddhist beads in her hand stopped rolling.

Beside her, Uncle Xu hadn't reacted to the name yet, "District Chief Shen? Which District Chief Shen?"

Mrs. Xu stretched out her right hand, and the butler quickly put her crutches in her hand. The old lady stood up with the crutches, and while greeting him, she said, "It's District Chief Shen Min."

She was also very shocked. After Shen Min took office, he had no interest in the Xu family. The Xu family did send him gifts a few times, but only once out of ten.

The other nine times were rejected. What happened to the ancestral tomb today that Shen Min was invited?

She was solemn, but her steps were brisk, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.

Halfway through the walk, she

saw Xu En and Shen Min walk in.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a black long woolen sweater today, without buttons, with a circle of fox hair hand-sewn from the collar to the hem. Her eyes were deeply sunken and shot cold stars.

District Chief Shen's face appeared in local news from time to time. People who don't pay attention to these may not be familiar with him, but almost every upper-level member of the Xu family would go through some of the lists to avoid offending anyone.

"District Chief Shen," Mrs. Xu and Uncle Xu were surprised and polite when they saw the person, "A distinguished guest has arrived, a distinguished guest has arrived."

Shen Min didn't know Mrs. Xu, so he nodded to her politely.

Without further ado,

Xu En took Shen Min to a seat, "Go in and sit for a while."

Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to step back and look at Xu Shujie who followed. She first clasped her hands together, her heart almost jumping out of her chest, "Your brother invited Shen Min to come?"

She naturally didn't think it had anything to do with the Ji family.

Xu Shujie's mind was blank for a moment, and then she finally reacted. She looked at Mrs. Xu, a little hesitant, "It's not the eldest brother, District Chief Shen, he seems to be... a guest of the Ji family."

The old lady thought she had heard it wrong, and knocked her cane: "What, what?"

A guest of the Ji family?

How did the Ji family know Shen Min?

The focus was not here at this time. Butler Xu, who was supporting Mrs. Xu's other arm, changed his face, "Old lady, the position!!" "

Hurry, hurry and follow..." Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and saw that Xu En had brought Shen Min to the first table, so she hurried forward.

Xu Shujie followed him, frowning, position, what position?

**

The banquet hall of Yunxiao Hotel is on the middle third floor, 36-38, the three floors are connected, and there is a special banquet elevator to go up.

There is a white crystal reception desk corridor in the middle. It

is about 50 meters long, with 16 tables on each side. The second and third floors have almost the same number of tables.

There are eight tables in the row next to the reception desk on the left. Xu En led Shen Min forward and came to the first two tables. The seats were arranged by the Xu family and were also for Xu En's review.

Sitting at the main table were Ji Heng and Old Lady Xu.

He deliberately put Bai Di and Ji Shaojun at the second table next to them.

When he came here now, he found that the main table and the secondary table were gone. They became men's table and women's table?

And Ji Heng sat at the second table?

Shen Min saw Xu En's voice suddenly disappear while he was talking, and he looked at the table again and understood the problem, "Gentleman's table", "Girl's table", Shen Min has participated in many weddings, big and small, but this is the first time he has seen such a ridiculous seating arrangement.

He put his hands behind his back and did not get involved in their family affairs.

"Why did you come in now?" Ji Shaojun saw Xu En, and he stood up and talked to him with a smile, "Have you greeted the guests? Do you need my help with anything?"

"No, just accompany them." Xu En suppressed his anger, turned around and looked at Uncle Xu who came over, "How did you arrange the seats?!"

Uncle Xu was also startled.

Mrs. Xu came forward with a cane and scolded Xu En, "You are so busy with the wedding that you don't take good care of your subordinates. Look at the positions you have been assigned. What kind of people are they? Look who is in charge of this place today. People like them should not stay in Xu's company."

Then she smiled and said to Shen Min, "District Chief Shen, please take a seat first."

She raised her hand to let Shen Min sit at the first table, and signaled her uncle to change the seat. Finally, she gently said to Ji Heng, "Mr. Ji, how can you sit here? Hurry up and help the old man sit at the main table."

The last sentence was said to Butler Xu.

Butler Xu hurried forward, Ji Heng reached out and knocked on the pipe, he looked up at Xu En, waved his hand, "No, it's fine to sit here, go and do your work, there's no need to entertain us."

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

He can leave, but it's impossible for him to go back.

Shen Min looked at the cigarette in Ji Heng's hand, and thought of the various tobaccos that Director Chen had asked him to find, and he reacted almost instantly.

He also smiled, and sat down one seat away from Ji Heng, and said to Xu En: "I am also a female guest, so I will sit at this table. You go and do your work, I will chat with a few

people first." He wondered in his heart who "A-sui" was.

The "female table" on the table was very conspicuous.

Mrs. Xu looked at Shen Min stiffly, and she didn't know how to say a word to him, because of the "female table", she didn't even have an excuse to sit at the same table.

In the end, she sat at the first table in front with pins and needles.

He was not in the mood to fiddle with the Buddhist beads. Uncle Xu had the leisure to sit there at first, but now he was standing next to Mrs. Xu and didn't even dare to sit down, "Old lady, what should we do now..."

He looked at the table of the Ji family, and his heart was also unbelievable. Who are these people in the Ji family?

"This is A-Xu's guest..." Xu En bent down and introduced Shen Min to Ji Heng in a low voice.

Xu En took a deep breath. Ji Heng obviously didn't take this matter to heart. Looking at the seat left by Shen Min...

he might know who will come.

"Are they all fools?" Xu En said to Xu Shujie and the protocol manager as he walked out, "Not to mention that District Chief Shen will come today, even if he doesn't come, you turned the main table into a men's table, is that reasonable?"

Men's table, this men's table is simply ridiculous.

Xu En's face was terribly gloomy.

Xu Shujie had no idea why Mrs. Xu suddenly arranged a table for men. She quickly followed Xu En. It was true that people tended to be confused when they got old. "How would I know?"

"Go and look after her for me." Xu En asked Xu Shujie to go in. "You are no longer needed to greet guests outside."

**

Ji Heng's table.

He himself didn't talk much, but Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing talked more. Shen Min got most of the story out of Shen Qing in a few words.

Ji Heng took out his cell phone and called Bai Mi.

"Grandpa, we'll leave at six tomorrow morning," Bai Di put the phone to her ear with a review on her knees. The sun shone through the slightly opened window onto her review. She leaned back in her chair, her posture very casual: "We'll probably arrive in Danping City at nine o'clock."

Danping City is next to Xiangcheng, an hour's drive away.

We'll be home before twelve o'clock.

Ji Heng was surprised, "Is there an airport in Danping City?"

"...Maybe." Bai Di tilted her head to look at Jiang Fuli beside her.

There was a little silence.

In the end, no one spoke.

Ji Heng didn't ask much, hung up the phone, still smoking a big cigarette. He didn't talk much, and Shen Min couldn't figure out his temper, so he kept talking to Ji Shaojun.

It was past ten o'clock, and quite a few guests came, including some senior executives from the Xu family.

Hearing that District Chief Shen was here, many people came to this table to greet them before leaving.

As for Mrs. Xu's main table, no one went there at all.

Shen Qing sat next to Ji Shaojun. From this group of people, he learned that Shen Min was a district chief. He was shocked and whispered to Ji Shaojun, "This Shen Min is a district chief..."

Another group of people arrived, led by a woman in her forties. She smiled and shook hands with Shen Min: "District Chief Shen, I'm from the Ma family. We met last time during the bidding. I didn't expect to see you here..."

This time, the Ma family was too lazy to send someone, so they sent her. Unexpectedly, she got a bargain.

As she spoke, the woman smiled even more.

She continued to greet the other people at the table, "Mr. Ji, congratulations, you have come from afar, you must eat and drink well today, don't save money for Mr. Xu..."

Even Shen Qing was not left out.

The table was not fully occupied yet, but it was very lively.

At this time, there was suddenly some noise at the entrance, and the woman and Ji Heng's table couldn't help but look towards the entrance -

Xu En came in with a middle-aged man.

When Xu En saw the seat left by Shen Xian, he knew that Director Chen would come. Sure enough, within ten minutes, Director Chen came up, and Xu En's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was relieved.

"When did you come back? Auntie didn't even tell me you would come." Xu En had gone fishing with Director Chen twice, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

"Go home temporarily," Director Chen glanced around and strode towards Ji Heng, "Don't worry about me, I'm here to drink with Uncle Ji."

He said don't worry, how could Xu En really not care.

Walking all the way inside, many people looked at the two of them.

The man next to Xu En had bronze skin, eyebrows like painted, and he was serious and seldom appeared in public. Most people at the scene didn't know him, but there were some who knew him.

For example, the middle-aged woman who was still standing at Ji Heng's table.

And Mrs. Xu at the table at the back, she had just sat down for a few minutes, and stood up again with a cane, turned her head to look at Uncle Xu next to her, "That...that is..."

Compared to Shen Min, this person now made her feel more unbelievable.

Xu Shujie also stood up. She squinted at the man next to Xu En and didn't dare to speak for a while.

Not many people have seen Director Chen, and Xu Shujie was not sure.

Xu En brought Director Chen closer.

At Ji Heng's table, Shen Min finally put down his teacup. He stood up, his face no longer relaxed, his body straightened, and nodded slightly to Director Chen, "Master Chen."

His voice was deep.

It was not loud, but most people could hear it clearly.

Xu Shujie, Old Lady Xu and the others looked quietly at the person who was called "Master Chen" by Shen Min, and the people who were around Ji Heng's table to say hello immediately separated to both sides with a "bang" and made way.

"Long time no see." Mr. Chen just nodded slightly to Shen Min as a greeting, then walked to the table, looked at Ji Heng, and smiled on his tense face, "Uncle Ji, sorry for the long wait." As

he spoke, he pulled open the empty seat next to Ji Heng and sat down.

Ji Heng put down his pipe, tilted his head to look at Director Chen, and smiled, "Little Chen, you came quite early, A-Ti and the others haven't arrived yet."

"I was afraid you would be anxious, so I came first." Director Chen did not mention the fact that he did not dare to wait for Bai-Ti with Jiang Fuli, and greeted Ji Shaojun, Shen Qing and the others.

Everyone calmed down with Ji Heng as the center. Not to mention Mrs. Xu and others who wanted to say hello, even Shen Min was surprised by Ji Heng's word "Xiao Chen".

For a moment, no one except this table dared to speak.
